JOURNAL: FirestormXIII (Robert X. Hill-Williams)

  • God damn stupid people. Why does all this shit happen to me...? 2002-04-12 06:11:56 Well, last night I was just going about my business, checking the forums and chatting in the org chatroom. I was even contemplating starting my paper.
    Then there was a knock at my door.
    I got up, looked out the peephole, saw a guy I didn't know (which doesn't mean diddly considering I make no effort to get to know my roommate or his friends) and opened the door. The guy standing outside asked for 'Wali', who's my roommate's best friend. I told him Wali wasn't here, he turned and left, and I closed the door and went back to my business. About 5 minutes later another knock came at my door, I got up and answered it. Same guy at the door, this time with a friend behind him. He asked if Wali was here again. But before I could answer the two guys, and another guy I didn't see before (he must have been standing off to the side on the wall) all force their way into my room, pushing me back, and closing my door and blocking it off. The whole thing didn't seem real while it was happening. Here's an e-mail I wrote to my mom about it this morning:

    'Well, I'll try to let you know when I can. Now we have a new set of problems: last night I got robbed. There was a knock at the door so I answered it, and three guys forced their way into my room. I'm not hurt, they took ten dollars and a bag that had some DVD's, games, and the CD burner you bought me. I already told them I wanted the state police called in on this, and last night they had me write my statement. Then the police came later that night, read the statement I wrote, got information from me, had a look at the room, got a security guard to watch the room overnight to make sure no one got in, and they left. This morning they're supposed to come and process my room (take fingerprints and stuff) then do elimination prints of me and my roommate. (Last night they also interviewed my roommate and his friend. His friend was the one the guys asked for when they knocked on the door.) So last night they set me up in a different room, since no one could go into my room. (They didn't want anyone disturbing anything) Mom-mom's coming this morning, she should probably be here before 12. I tried calling dad last night, but I couldn't get through. So now I'm just waiting. Oh well, stuff happens right. I just hope they find something on these guys.'

    So like I said in the e-mail now I'm just waiting. It doesn't appear that the guys go to Lincoln, because after going through all the pictures of everyone on campus I couldn't find one guy that looked like any of the three that bursted into my room. I hate this place so much. Hell I hated it a lot before, and now I wish I could drop a bomb on it. This place has fallen a long way from being 'Black Princeton'. The ironic thing about all this was that I've seriously been thinking about transferring lately. I was even on Rowan's website looking up prices and deadline and stuff. Perhaps they do emergency transfers or something.
    I'm so sick of this place... 
  • 'It's coming closer...' 'What, a new video?' 'No, the end of the world' 2002-04-11 14:32:09 I was just reading magicman's journal entry and all I have to say is:


    Wow.

    I really hope they fired him or something. That kind of behavior is just...odd. 
  • I have been googlized 2002-04-11 10:44:58 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Robert+Hill&btnG=Google+Search

    Well, in the midst of everyone else looking themselves up on google I figured I'd give it a try. Apparently soon I will control the world, because I'm a senator in a couple of different countries, a writer, and *sigh* a dancer for a ballet company... something just had to mess up the search, didn't it?

    Well that's been my pointless post for the day. Time to check the forums... 
  • God, is it really that wrong to *reeeeally* want to kill another human being...? 2002-04-11 05:02:44 I must have had amnesia when I answered on a survey that there was no person that I hated. Because last night, and even right now, I'm tempted to get up, grab a large heavy object, walk to the other side of the room, and end my roommate's pathetic fucking existence.
    Yea, I know what you're all saying. Either 'My god, he's losing it.' or 'Your roommate can't be that bad.' Guess what: you're all wrong. See right now I'm right on the edge of that zone of calm that is almost scary. Because if I did walk to the other side of that room, he wouldn't be getting up. And yes, he is that fuggin bad.

    Last night I went to sleep at 11 o clock thinking 'Hey, maybe I'll catch more than 6 hours of sleep before tomorrow. (My first class is at 8 on tuesdays and thursday)' And you know, I acutally did go to sleep at around 11:30.
    Enter the asshole.
    He knocks on the door as I'm just getting to sleep. (because he's too damn lazy to take his key with him) So I get up, open the door, and climb back in bed. At this point I'm not mad, cause he does that kind of dumb shit all the time. It just annoys me now. So he comes in, grabs his key (since it's obvious I'm not getting up again), and leaves...slamming the door so hard the walls shook. I'm still not mad, I'm just thinking 'assholio' to myself. So I finally drift off to sleep and stay that way.
    Enter asshole again.
    He comes in (which I don't hear because I'm asleep), presumably changes, hops into bed, and turns on the TV....with the volume all the way up. The beginning of the Big Hit is on, which means there's lots of gunfire and explosions going on. And I'm about to pull an Incredible Hulk, pick up my bed, and drop it on him...a few times. I was also just going to unplug the extension cord the TV's hooked into (my extension cord, as a note). But instead I thought I'd try reason.
    ...
    Two yells of 'could you please turn that down?' over the TV later and no change in volume, I decide to get up and go use the bathroom (also so I don't do something he'll regret). So to make a long story short (I've gotta go to english) I come back, he mutes the TV when I grab my cd player, I decide not to turn on my cd player after he mutes the tv, two minutes later the tv is back up full volume again, I slam my fist down on my desk, he turns the channel, then turns the tv off.
    I'm really going to kill him.
    And don't even get me started on the people upstairs who decided that 1 o clock in the morning was a good time to practice dance routines...by stomping on the floor. I wish I had a gun last night...no, scratch that, I'm glad I didn't.

    Cause I probably would have used it.
    So anyway, I'm off to English now, and the devil's advocate escapes my wrath for now. Oh well, I unplugged the TV last night and plugged it back in, so the alarm on it would reset, so now his alarm won't be going off this morning. Oh, too bad. *faked concern*

    See you guys later. 
  • Gonads and Strife, Gonads and Strife, Gonads......and Strife 2002-04-10 13:26:15 That is the damn funniest thing ever (that and the pong one). There's just something about a bouncing squirrel singing about gonads...

    Well, I talked to my English teacher after the humanties day ceremony. He's gonna let me hand in the research paper that's gonna cause me to die at age 18 from stress. He's even gonna let me hand it in short one source, because the library doesn't know what happened to the books I had before. How can a library not know where it's own books went?! I swear 90% of the people around me here are morons.

    I'm more than certain that I'm gonna transfer after next year, probably to either Rowan or Rutgers, since they're in-state for me. There'd take an act of god on this campus to get me to stay at Lincoln, that or a full paid scholarship... Don't get me wrong, this place has it's good points, but they come nowhere near outweighing the bad ones. Bad location (nothing to do but see cows for miles around), horrid people (someone gets shot here every other weekend at some dumbass party), administration tries to jerk you around at every turn (in an effort to take your money and leave you with nothing), their admission process sucks (which contributes to the stupid people they have wandering around this place pretending they're still in the ghetto), and the reason their standareds have fallen is because they're more concerned about how much money they pull in (which I see going into almost nothing on campus) then the quality of the school. I can't stay here. I won't stay here. Hell the only reason I get stuck here next year is because I missed application deadlines for transferring, because I thought that maybe it was just my perception of Lincoln. I was wrong, my perception was right, and I have every reason to get out of here.
