Seriously.

Are you sure you really have to go? Is it finals week or something?
Well I have a midterm to do, and then I have harp for four hours, so I'm not sure I should miss it...I'm just surprised they didn't shut off the whole campus. I'm a little scared to go, but thankfully the music school and the other hall that I'm going to be in are some distance away from the building that received the threat.

They didn't blow up schools and shit like that.
Actually, I think the blowing things up and all that is a reaction by mentally unstable people to dealing with the assholes.

I can accept explanations, but not excuses.

If you get blown up, I'm going to march over to your school and beat up the administration for making you go.

I'm sure they would be understanding if you said you were scared, and reschedule the exam for you.

Yeah I'm waiting to hear more news from the school. I suppose I don't actually have to go to school...I'm gonna ask my professor about it.

Not sure I know what you mean...what is an explanation, and what is an excuse?

I got screwed around in the court system with a child custody suit (I couldn't afford a lawyer), and I seriously wanted to kill my ex and his new wife. In fact, if I hadn't had faith in God I would have done it. I obsessed on it night and day.

Explanation: I blew up my school because kids picked on me.

Similar thing happened to my mom. I think it probably took about 10 years off her life, she stressed so much.

My high school when I was 15 was shut down because someone wrote on a bathroom stall "This place is gonna be another Red Lake"

So yeah... I sat on a bus for 2 hours because my brother dropped out and was forced to resort to the yellow limo and my school had like 3200 kids and it took forever to clear everyone out. It was lame.

Custody battles are awful for the kids and the parents.

Was it over you? Who are you with now?

My parents had a pretty good break up. It was over my younger brother, between my mom and my step-dad. That's when his true colors really came out. I haven't forgiven him yet. Not sure if I'm going to be able to, actually.
