Ah, I don't really like that one at all
I really enjoy Der Funzenjharige Krieg (however its spelled), the split with GBK and Sigrblot, and Blutgericht. Check them out if you haven't yet.

Management 101 is "Public praise, private correction". Apparently your manager never got the memo.

I'm fucking annoyed with my counsellor/agent. I got a mail from Boston University that I got accepted and all that crap but I also noticed that they don't fucking offer financial aid for international students. I'm annoyed because I trusted someone else with something important like this and I didn't notice it before I applied. What a waste of money

I find much of their post-FL material to be rather boneheaded. I mean, FL isn't exactly cerebral, but it does have a weird kind of charm and some atmosphere. The later stuff seems to me to have little appeal outside the thuggish racist demographic. Well, I guess I can dig some of the later stuff.

I've actually never bothered with any Absurd beyond Facta, which is one of my favorite black metal releases. I need to expand my Absurd horizon I guess.
I really hate how my neighbor's son is playing cornhole with his drunk friends while me and my sister are trying to tan. They keep throwing the bag over the fence and hollering like monkies. I hope I get super sun burned so I don't have to go outside for the rest of the week.

Damn that sucks. Never underestimate the incompetence of people whose job is to help you, haha. So will you have other schools to choose from?

Same reaction I had
Apparently it refers to "A game played by throwing a beanbag into a hole on a tilted board."

It's a fairly popular game at outdoor gatherings around here, except it's usually just called "beanbag toss".

First thing's first, as this is the thing that affects financial aid nationwide: Age & Tax status (dependent/independent/married/single etc.)
I call it male-anal-fucking. Pretty awesome game.

Ananth that sucks. And I agree with Grant about living under a dictatorship and all that. If someone is that bad that they send you to the mental ward or require therapy, perhaps it isn't worth sacrificing your sanity for some replaceable person.
As for my own whining and bitching, it's trivial as hell but I forgot I had to be at work 30 minutes early today.

I practically forgot about that when filling out FAFSA and so on, but its to late for this year seeing as my dad claimed me as a dependent. In the next year however, that would definitely change things, thanks for the reminder!
I never really found it to appeal to a thuggish demographic, but I guess given that it is somewhat RAC sounding that seems true. Either way, if you haven't checked out the albums you mentioned, give 'em a shot.
Listen to Der Funzenjahrige Krieg first, and if you like it, go onto the GBK/Sigrblot split, and then Butgericht.
Being claimed dependent is going to fuck a lot of shit up for you no matter where you go. My experiences with it result in either very little financial aid (rare) to almost none (common). Then again, the richest, spoiled, most horrible people I went to highschool with got FAFSA when their parents made over $160k combined, so maybe if you are all of those things you will be fine.
Fucking undeserving bitches.

Well I'm not rich, spoiled or horrible so I don't really fit the criteria. My dad made $71,000 (I wrote 79k accidentally) but given the amount of debt he is in, he lives paycheck to paycheck, and my parents are divorced as well.
The government won't look at that, which sucks. My parents when I applied were making $60k combined in 2004, and I was shot down. This last year they had made prob $40k total and I finally got it.
What sucks is I've been independent for five/six years now, and the government doesn't stop looking at how much your parents make until you hit 25 now (for some reason, their income = your income, regardless of dependency status).

Yo Pessimism, how accurate has the EFC value been in your past experience/s? I got a value of 0 because due to my mother and I making about 28k combined last year; but I'm not sure what to expect and I'm frankly getting a bit worried because I have yet to receive any sort of follow up info in the mail yet. I thought I read somewhere that the financial aid offices of universities don't even ship that shit until early April, but the amount of pamphlets and bullshit on the subject I've read ever since being accepted last winter is a bit too much to keep up with, so I may just be delusional.
