I’m trying to tell him it’ll overheat and shut down anyway, so this is unnecessary.
But he’s getting impatient.
He keeps coming into my room to try to talk me into it.
And I’m like… whyyyyyyy :(

My laptop shut itself down so many times mid-iPod-sync that I now have to restore my iPod to factory settings.
“Tragedy” does not cover it.

Me: I'm just gonna make a cup of coffee… and cry into it.
Emma: Then it won't taste very good.
Me: Okay, FINE. I won't cry INTO it, I will cry ALL AROUND IT so that NO tears get into my cup.
Emma: Okay… you do that.
Me: You don't understand :( This is ruining my life.
Emma: Okay, whatever…
Me: :(

Ridah: Ahhh I hate Canberra, can't wait until this year finishes and I can move to Melbourne!
Declan: Are you gonna study?
Ridah: Yeah, either at Melbourne or Monash...
Declan: Well. You know what choice to make.
Ridah: Not that you're biased.
Declan: What? No...
Me: Why would we be biased?
Declan: It's just the truth.
Me: It's been empirically proven.
Ridah: EMPIRICALLY, now?
Declan: Oh yeah, we've done a study.
Me: It took a lot of research.
Ridah: Uh-huh...
Declan: Are you QUESTIONING RESEARCH? You're probably one of those climate deniers too, aren't you?

My Dad studied Unimelb Science, so...
Dad: When I go to Monash, I usually park in the north-west corner and make my way from there to the union building.
Mum: Elbowing Arts students out of the way.
Me: Uh, if you're trying to elbow Arts students, you're not going to find many up there, unless Monash has given them classes in Science --
Dad: Well it IS true, I don't bother asking them what they study before I elbow them out of the way.
Me: You'll be elbowing all Science students.
Dad: Yeah, but I'm wearing my Melbourne Uni jumper, and they're all Monash students, so it's okay.
Me: Yeah, until they'll be all, "FUCK YOU, we know who's responsible for the Menzies Building."
Dad: Who had the last laugh on that one?
Me: Well on the other hand YOU have that lovely admin building, Redmond Barry or whatever it's called... which is just as ugly as Menzies, really.
Dad: It's a design feature!
Me: So's Menzies.
