This is a thread about confusing rites of passage, and the intense elation that follows the moment of unmasking.

Wait aren't you the guy who requested bannination so you could concentrate on school work? Did that work out?
― dan m, Saturday, 31 May 2008 23:56 (seventeen years ago)
Well the thread-title has been cropping up in my head a lot recently. After this whole "being a student" rollercoaster I just want someone in a position of authority to come up to me and tell me I made a good fist of it. And I'm not talking about my degree mark here.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:08 (seventeen years ago)
I sure think you did!
― Abbott, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:18 (seventeen years ago)
And I'm a reverend.
You made a good fist of it. Well done.
― Raw Patrick, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, degrees are intense. Congrats.

It's not until you're well clear of the finish line that you realise exactly how bloody harrowing the whole experience was.
― Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:22 (seventeen years ago)
Haha, is it possible to pass ILX? Because I think I kinda failed and then failed better and then failed so fucking brilliantly they gave me a pass for entertainment value alone.
abbott's authority srsly cannot be fucked with, i'm a believer
oh man more ppl! cheers one and all. tbh this was all just a warm-up for the real thing.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:22 (seventeen years ago)
What's the real thing?
― Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:33 (seventeen years ago)
university was just a warm up for the great beyond
― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:36 (seventeen years ago)
you failed cuz you give a shit about "passing" in the first place.
think about that, dyson boy.

― jeremy waters, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:42 (seventeen years ago)
hey i didn't actually want ppl to come along here and validate me (nice as it is); i was merely trying to work out the nature of a certain own need for validation i'm feeling. also ppl gotta set themselves goals or else they won't achieve shit
my approach to attempted ILX cockslaps from now on will be to contemplate the insecurities of the would-be cockslapper with a warm glow upon my chest

First, grasshopper, you must eat ILX, which is like trying to drink the ocean dry. Only then can you pass ILX.

man if i was harbouring a killer alien that would be the most validating thing of all
aimless incidentally has passed marriage, writing and schoolbus driving, and now he has passed "saying the most awesome thing i've seen here since returning"

mah homeboy willy wordsworth on momentary elations:
Surprised by joy -impatient as the wind I turned to share the transport -Oh! with whom But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, That spot which no vicissitude can find? Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind - But how could I forget thee? Through what power, Even for the least division of an hour, Have I been so beguiled as to be blind To my most grievous loss? -That thought's return Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; That neither present time, nor years unborn, Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 21:36 (seventeen years ago)
Bahaha you are now the third man I know who has called Wordsworth his homeboy.
― Abbott, Sunday, 1 June 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)
I wonder if it's coincidental that "Surprised by Joy" is the title of C.S. Lewis's religious autobiography or not. It's used with a different meaning, but that is quite a coincidence.
― Maria, Sunday, 1 June 2008 22:05 (seventeen years ago)
william carlos williams is also my homeboy, in fact any poet whose first and last initials are WW
which reminds me i need to read some whitman asap
― Just got offed, Sunday, 1 June 2008 23:14 (seventeen years ago)
I wouldn't bother, he contradicts himself a lot.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 1 June 2008 23:19 (seventeen years ago)
so this guy's back
― gbx, Sunday, 1 June 2008 23:22 (seventeen years ago)
I love William Carlos Williams but my favorite WW has to be Wally Wood.
― Abbott, Sunday, 1 June 2008 23:37 (seventeen years ago)
I'm calling shenanigans. The real LJ wrote in English and couldn't help using quirky eldritch verbiage, this new fake LJ is an American rapper.

I told me mum and dad I'd move out within six months of finishing university. It took me six years.
― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 2 June 2008 10:46 (seventeen years ago)
Haha, I wanna scram ASAP, but my parents expect me to stay at home for a few more years. As long as they don't start charging me rent...
Realistically, I think I'll have to wait until about 24 or 25 before finding my own place, but you never know.
― Just got offed, Monday, 2 June 2008 10:54 (seventeen years ago)
I paid rent from the moment I finished my degree, you scallywag.
― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 2 June 2008 10:56 (seventeen years ago)
So what is in store for this young scallywag? Bad career advice should follow below this.

Personally I would like to live through LJ and have him become the North Sea rig diver and underwater welder I never was.
― Ed, Monday, 2 June 2008 10:58 (seventeen years ago)
Haha! Well I'll have to get a job over the summer then, cos I'm fairly skint as things stand! So much for the months of delirious abandon I had planned. xxpost
Yeah, bad career advice truly welcome! I haven't got anything sorted yet!
LOL rig diver :D
― Just got offed, Monday, 2 June 2008 10:59 (seventeen years ago)
