stupid stupid stupid

Okay. Yesterday was the most retarded day in the history of my life; it's so retarded, I'm gonna break it down into a few main parts.

PART I

I get up at an obscene hour on a Saturday to go for this creative thinking workshop at Taylor's. It's retarded from the very start, 'cause I got no chums there. The whole thing proceeds okay...until this group activity thing that requires groups of six. So, V-ki and I somehow ended up with three college kids and one guy about 17 or 18, don't know which. I said hi and introduced myself, but they just freaking ignored me. so okay, fine.
Each group was given two big packets of straws [what a colossal waste] and a teeny little piece of paper with the Taylor's logo on it. The task was to build a tower taller than Charles [the photographer; he's a frickin' skyscraper, i tell you], with straws and only straws, which also means no string/glue/scissors/hole-puncher/etc. The Taylor's "flag" was supposed to be at the very top. The icing on the cake? We had to make sure it wouldn't fall down in the extremely windy courtyard. No joke, I tell you. Especially not when the stupid college kids are ignoring you just because they're older.
I mean, GO TO HELL AND BURN THERE FOR ETERNITY, ASHLEY!!! MIKI AND DARREN, YOU'RE EVERY BIT AS IDIOTIC FOR BEING SO SUBMISSIVE TO ASH THE QUEEN BITCH. YOU TWO DESERVE NO LESS THAN HELL EITHER. Okay, now that that's out and done with, let me explain.
These so-called college students have obviously never qualified for the science stream in their lives. Their level of IQ is astoundingly low, as can be observed from their supremely flawed logic. Our tower only won because the nice guy from goodness-knows-what school knows his physics, plus he's got common sense. At least he followed my lead in tying extra bunches of straws at the bottom to stabilise the structure. So in the end we won chocolates :) The only highlight of the day, I assure you.

and here you see our winning tower. heh.
