Today, I am being good. I am trying very hard NOT to kill everybody...


  • Who walks slower than I do. Which, in Glasgow, is pretty much everyone.

  • Who bumps into me.
  • Who cannot make their own decisions. GRRR! Stop pestering ME!!

  • Who bothers me with stuff I have no interest in, like some friggin' election at the Uni. I am going to vote for the person whose ugly face has NOT been thrust into my face five hundred times in a row.

  • Whose face I see next to the message "Vote for NAME!"

  • Who thrusts some useless flyer in my face.

  • Who pesters me with stuff I have no interest in.

  • Who tries to teach me stuff I already know.

  • Who uses "already" in that weird new usage. BWAH! Just use "endlich", which is German and means what you want to express! Alright, alright, not my decision. It just sounds so... Sigh.
  • Who is under 18. That should be outlawed in general.

  • Who keeps me from being at home in bed with a book, a hot tea, some painkiller and a warm blanket. Being a student sucks. Having a cold sucks.

    ... off to Russian now. Garrr.

    On a happier note: Rebecca's choir has pictures online!! SQUEEE!!! Crocky in robes!!!

    Aww, good Moth! *pets you*

    Who is under 18. That should be outlawed in general. -- my thoughts exactly. Can't they just hide in some restricted area until they're human? ^^

    "Already": ist't "yet" the verb they should use? As in "Have you done the dishes yet?" Now guess why I took this example, or what my answer would be ;) Or am I completely mistaken? I just remember having read it several time in that context.

    Exactly! Get away from me, drunken minors!
    ... Especially minors who read whatever I type because they can't figure out what to write next. Bloody NOSY idiots!

    They could use "yet", but not for "endlich" and not in that kind of construction. What happens is:
    "Stop it already!" - and that would be an "endlich" construction. "Stop it yet!" doesn't make any sense, they don't want to use "finally" - for some reason, it would be as ungrammatical as "already", but wouldn't drive me nuts - and they do not have any other temporal expression which would fit.

    Have fun with the dishes! And congrats on finishing your paper!
