I really should update this thing more often, id like to get in the habit.. i almost said again, but id be lying, tons of good shit happened that i should of uppdated with, but too bad, shoulda woulda coulda.
so todays episode: I'm sure this kind of thing has happened to everyone, ill retell the two real instances of this happening to me.
so today we were just chilling out, and if you didnt know, its hot as hell. especially in the classes, brookfield is a tad ghetto and only a few rooms are air conditioned. Library, office, guidance and learning strategies. so alec megan and i, mostly alec and i, were just bitching and we walked by the learning strats room, and were were talking before about how our school is getting an autistic unit of about 15 kids. we were thinking theyd get the learning strats room, because theyd probably function much better if they were comfortable. so we both drew a simultaneous " damn tards" or something along those lines as wouldnt get the air conditioned rooms for shit next year. so i had autism on the brain.
In english class, theres me in the back, megan in front, samar on the left, and jesse pangborn in front of meg. Jesse was just being herself and kinda goofing around , acting like an idiot and just having a good time, so I said she was borderline autistic. she looked at me like she didnt hear me, and as shes come into the habit of making fun of people shell draw her arms into her chest and be an idiot, so i drew my arms into my chest, screwed up my face and had a little pseudo seizure. then later, megan comes up to me and she says "maybe you should lay off the autistic jokes with pangy." I asked why and she told me her brother is autistic...fuck.. i felt so bad, i really hate genuinely making people feel bad.
second instance
In grade 9, in my geography class, we had a peer tutor and he was chill, dont remember him at all really except for this, think he graduated that year. well we had like 20 minutes free time at the end of a geo class and we jsut started hating on each other, all in good fun. like we were calling each other cocksuckers and blood belching vaginas etc
So i said something along the lines of " i had sex with your mother" he sombers up right quick and says my mothers dead. I thought hes just fucking with me, people do that all the time, just to find out later they were just fucking with you, so i replied with
"I guess thats why she didnt move around alot."
"my mother actually is dead......"
FUck...what do you say to that, felt like shit. ah well
on al ighter note, is there anything william shatner wont hawk, just saw one for priceline, hardcore fibre 20 day challenges etc. he must be pretty desperate for gigs. im wondering about all the shit he hawked in japan that nobody here knows about.

See, that's for pussies.
Next time some fucker tells you "Whoa Purcell, that's going a bit too far... My BROTHER is a blood belching vagina.. And he's autistic.." You step right up to their brother, take out your cell phone, and start playing a tune with the keypad and the autistic kid will start humming back the tune. They can't help it or something. ^_^
I saw this shit on Mercury Rising (with Bruce Willis). It's about some autistic kid who cracks the world's most secret code. Yo, to be honest, being autistic is nothing but easy money. Sure, the kid would be a pariah, but who knows? Maybe they'd be socially inept in the first place! At least with this you can crack codes and sit in front of the TV watching snow (channel 01, you know what I'm talking about) and jot down 01010010010101101011 etc, never be bored.. (Again, Mercury Rising. Great movie!)
As for feeling bad during those awkward moments, don't. It's not YOUR fault some person is autistic, or dead, or handicapped. You probably weren't even around when it happened? Really I think anybody who jokes around and then gets all serious when something like that occurs should eat a fat one. Like they just expect you to know stuff like this when it's generally a secret in the family.
Purcell, next time someone fronts "My mom is mentally challenged", I order you to apologize, then go out that very day and buy them one of those "I'm With Stupid ---->" t-shirts.
Redeeming statement: No I don't hate the mentally challenged/autistic/dead, I hate the fuckers that use that as an excuse to silence a crowd like it's a bomb threat. In fact an old friend of mine has Asperger's Syndrome and I talked her out of suicide once.
So there. |

Haha, that's funny.
That's what you deserve for stepping to people though.
I keep my hate where they can't hear it :P |
