In my spring semester last year my English professor was like very sarcastic and intimidating. I'd take that professor than this one, lol.

FWIW, like everyone, I've had to deal/work with people are intimidating/inept/mean/fill in the blank. What I've done is tried to get to know them a little just by talking to them. I've found that in 98% of the time, they're not as bad as I first thought. You might not want to be best friends with them in the end, but it usually results in raising the courtesy level (for lack of a better word) to be bearable. I know it can be really scarey, but all I can add is it really doesn't take much and humor helps tremendously.

Mihailo, how did your grandpa's birthday party go?

[Balcan]

galled: I'm not going to try to befriend him. I have very little left in this college, and I won't have to deal with him again. My priority is passing the class with a good grade. And I will do just that.

Lemon Cheesecake: the birthday went well. My family members just gathered together and cooked food. Nothing especially exciting but it was nice to see everyone.

This weekend I met my best friend's new roommate. He walked in completely drunk, opened the lid of the fish tank, and vomited right into it.

Wow, that sounds like something out of a movie like ANIMAL HOUSE. Were there any fish in there?

[Balcan]

Not anymore.

I've never seen Animal House. But I know there is a toga party scene. I want to throw a toga party. It's what I'm planning for my next (21st) birthday.

[galled]

If you mean there were fish in there that's terrible! Vomit is pretty acidic from stomach acid and the alcohol... what a horrific way to go!

I just meant ANIMAL HOUSE-type movies in general where being overly drunk leads to ridiculous behavior.

A toga party, birthday, or any other reason to get together with people you like to have fun is good stuff!
Well, you have a year to plan for it. Happy Belated Birthday!

[Balcan]

Yeah, they probably didn't have much longer to live anyway.

Also, if you cannot pet it, it is not a pet

Thanks for the belated birthday wish. The toga party will have an Ancient Greece theme. And wine. A lot of wine.

You can totally pet a fish! It's not a normal or common thing to do, but you can totally pet a fish! The only way you can't pet it is if it's not there.

[Balcan]

I don't know how much pleasure I would obtain from petting a fish.

Then again, my friend plays with his scorpions. So I'm not sure.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

You can pet fish at the aquarium...

[Balcan]

And how do they feel? I love touching my cat. He's soft and warm. But a fish?

Also, "dog food lid" is "dildo of god" backwards.

Not to be a wise-ass, but technically most petting zoo aquariums are stocked with crustaceans, mollusks (star fish, etc.) and if you're really lucky, mammals (dolphins, whales). I don't think you get to pet "fish," well, at least I can't recall of any I've seen. A manta perhaps, but I'd have to look up to what it is, but it might be a fish.

[Balcan]

I just don't think fish are entertaining. Yeah, you can look at them for a while but that gets old really fast.
