Update for Everyone III - The Whinge Binge

[Cassius]

Well, that was an... interesting night last night. Went to the first meeting of the university Conservative association, and sat at the back with the other reprobates who weren't taking it very seriously (and, you know, some people actually do take it seriously, in the sense that they think joining a University Conservative Association is the start of their rise to power... yeah). Anyway, after that, I went onto the Classics social, which basically consisted of drinking (thus forcing me to abandon my longstanding anti-alcohol position and have about 4 pints... mind you, it was only Strongbow so), and then got a taxi home at about 1 in the morning with a girl that I'd got chatting to during the social, after which... other things happened). So it was actually a pretty productive day yesterday, although now, alas, I need to prepare for a seminar.

Meh, I'm average Hagrid. Apparently I'm supposed to have a 'sexy' voice, like that actor, whatisface, James Frain, but I've never noticed that to be honest .

Anyway, I just voted in the SU and NUS elections. The SU elections were basically a joke; I didn't know any of the candidates and their 'manifestos' were generic to the point of being blank paper. So, basically, I just preferenced the guys on the list with British sounding names, attempting to discern who had the 'poshest' name, and then voting accordingly. As for the NUS elections, they were a bit more interesting. I preferenced to candidates; one who promised to stick it to the Communist cretins that run the NUS, and the other believed that it should be abolished entirely. I feel that I should have run for the SU, but in the end I just couldn't be arsed.

Analysing the Iliad is comparable to the fate of Judas Iscariot in Dante's Inferno.

While I still very much consider myself a socialist, more political reading plus a general distrust of people  (though nowhere near as bad as the childish misanthropy that I've held before, and I still trust the average person more than anyone in the global ruling class) have somewhat blunted my revolutionary spirit. I strongly admire my comrade TNF's boundless optimism in contrast, though at this point I see it best to focus on college as well as my personal hobbies (mostly video games) for my own sake, with political reading on the side to refine the specifics of my worldview.

Embrace your privilege. Life is more enjoyable that way.

Went to the old strip club (properly) for the first time in my life. Whilst I wasn't my cup of tea, I understand the attraction.

Today I discovered that I am the Ben Carson of university debating.

I am quite sick. Have not eaten so far today. I am hoping for a swift recovery.

Get well soon!

Today I discovered that I am the Ben Carson of university debating.

In a good, first debate way, or in a bad, sixth debate way?

I guess in the first debate way, in the sense that I'm a pretty dull speaker, and thought that I was basically just stumbling my way through semi-coherently talking a lot of nonsense and yet somehow I still won and people said it was a good speech.
