the quiet French Rs
Susan is a special girl I know from school. No other context is really needed to understand the following. ;))

Susan: How do you say 'dog' in Spanish?
Me: Perro.
Susan: No, that's how you say 'because'.
Me: Uh, no...you're probably thinking of 'but', but that only has one R.
Susan: What the hell are you saying? 'But' doesn't have any Rs in it!
Me: I meant 'but' in Spanish, 'pero'.
Susan: It still doesn't have any Rs.
Me: Yes it does. P, E, R, O. Pero.
Susan: Ohhhh...so it has like, a quiet R then?
Me: A quiet R?
Susan: You know...like the French Rs.

Susan: I'm selling my paintings, want to buy one?
Me: (Trying to think of a polite way to say 'no') I'm sorry; I don't have very much money.
Susan: Oh, I'm not selling them for money!
Me: Uh...what are you selling them for then?
Susan: Anything, anything you have.
Me: Oh. Why?
Susan: Because I want to get rid of them. They're ugly.
Me: Why would I want to buy them if they're ugly?
Susan: Some people are stupid and like all that artistic shit and stuff. So do you want one?
Me: That's okay, thanks anyway.
Susan: But they're really pretty! Trust me, I painted them. And you can just give me like eyeliner or something instead of money, I don't care, I just want to get rid of them.
Me: Look, if you just want to get rid of them then there's a rubbish bin right there.
Susan: Hey, that's a pretty good idea. Haha, I didn't think of that!
Susan's boyfriend: But I said the same thing ten minutes ago!
Susan: (Ignores him) You can have one for free if you like (pulls out a random one from the stack she's holding).
Me: I don't really-
Susan's boyfriend: Please just take it. Otherwise we'll be standing here and talking about it for another half hour.

Susan: Hey, I forgot to study for the physics test yesterday. Can I borrow your notes to photocopy them?
Me: But the test is in about fifteen minutes. You won't have enough time to get them done and then study.
Susan: If you don't want to lend them just say so.
Me: Fine, take them.
Susan: Thanks! What do we have next?
Me: Physics.
Susan: Oh fuck! How am I going to have enough time to study?
Me: I think you have bigger problems than that, Susan. It's a good thing you're pretty.
Susan: I know, right?

Truthfully she's also a very, very nice person. She goes out of her way to help anyone who needs it, and I've honestly never seen her get irritated or snap at anyone in the five years I've known her, no matter how people may be acting towards her. That is why I do have a minimal amount of patience for her insane levels of stupidity, *grins*.

I thought of it as more adorable than "Mean Girls" cause it seemed like it was more of a self-mock "haha, right?" rather than a bragging statement.

But God knows why I'm even commenting about it. XD

I remember IB exams. May 2003, the year they scheduled HL Psych papers 1 and 2 and HL Physics papers 1 and 2 on the same day. I wanted to die.

Good luck! Only... what, a week more and you're done? Hooray!

Susan: Some people are stupid and like all that artistic shit and stuff. So do you want one?

*snort* "Stupid people like these things -- want one?"

Did you end up taking it? (Could make a fortune on eBay; where else to sell an ugly thing only stupid people want?)

I did end up taking it, haha. I figured I'd just throw it away after, but I didn't, so it's lying about somewhere in my room.

And yay Franz back! :-B

This is a slight bit of pedantry, but anyhow...

You say about Susan: I've honestly never seen her get irritated or snap at anyone

And you also say:

Susan: If you don't want to lend them just say so.

and

Susan: Oh fuck! How am I going to have enough time to study?

She wasn't really snapping at me about not having enough time to study...she was worried, not irritated. And okay, I'll give you the first one.

I thought "perro" meant two of something. (Yeah, if anyone knows where I lifted that "joke" from...we should both probably kill ourselves.)

She seems really sweet, just...a little dim. Oh, well, we all have our moments.

That'd change most of history considerably- Machiavelli not only laid down the rules of leadership, he also bestowed his name on a shrieky wind instrument. Thanks :)

This reminded me of this really sweet girl that sits in front of me in English. She's one of the "rich girls" and she might not have a high IQ, but she doesn't further dumb herself down, she's really polite, and she's pretty, which is much better than I can say the other "rich girls" in my English class act. I've just recently grown to like her cause she was cold today in class and even though I offered her my jacket, she politely refused. I try to be a gentlewoman and it's always mom-fucking cold in that toom, so I offer my jacket if one of the girls complains. Usually they just take it, small smile, analyze it and decide if they're cold enough to wear it and slide it on. XD (okay, this comment's gotten too long.)

I could dedicate a post about those girls. Hmm, maybe I should...
