I'm sitting in University Center eating my lunch and browsing the intarweb as I frequently do, thinking about the three hours of sleep I got last night and the nap I'm about to take out in my car, when the dude with the clipboard shows up. People with clipboards are always a bad sign.
He asks me to sign his petition to grant the Student Government something or other, and I say, "No thanks." Instead of saying "OK, thanks anyway" and moving along, he has to ask why. Of course, getting rid of these guys can't be that easy, what fun would that be?
I tell him I'm apathetic towards the SGA (which I am). He gets this astonished look on his face; my God, what kind of a world do we live in where people wouldn't get down on their knees and suck off the school mascot?
He asks if I'm apathetic towards the national government. I'm not, but I think perhaps this guy will just leave if he thinks I really don't give a shit. So I say "yeah, basically." Oh no, now he has to go on a rant. It's perfectly worded, so he probably rehearsed it in the bathroom mirror this morning in between his toothbrush renditions of various alternative rock hits.
He explains how apathetic people are the reason we have assholes in the government now (which is true enough, but I'm still not signing his petition just for the sake of making him go away), and when I say "Thanks for the lecture," he replies that I might not be so apathetic when I see more and more of my rights taken away (dat was under da POE disc, yoo n00b), and that "I hope you're happy when you've been getting butt-fucked the rest of your life."
I said "I'll keep that in mind."
I've really got to keep my mp3 player on in UC.
