Ooooo deeeee lalllllly!
Today was the first time I have been ridiculed at college....
In my High School, there was always the group of kids that are popular and liked to say mean things, but in college you really don't expect it.
I always envisioned college as being a break from High School, a place where you learn to find your place in the world, get a degree, then job, and all other things under the optimistic umbrella.
If someone seemed mean, it's easier to get away from them in college. You have the choice to go somewhere else and avoid the places where they would hang out and find your own spots.
But this was the first day someone spoke out, delibertly came to seek me out, going out of their way to say something nasty.
Was walkin in the library passing some computers, then behind me I hear a voice, the kind that comes from a squeakily nerdy kid in the movies that is short, wears glasses, suspenders, and has a shirt pocket filled with pencils and such. The kid says "Hey Junior!" and you know it does not mean "junior in college", but the derogatory, "hey I am bigger and stronger than you, so I am calling you junior". I turned around, then quickly looked away. It was some tall jock looking kid that was tall, along with someone I did recognize from my math class back when I was a freshman who was the typical football build. I brushed it off, but then I had to walk by them again since all the computers were filled up in the back. As I walked by the second time, I heard in that mocking nerdy voice which I KNEW was directed at me: "I am a level 35 dungeonmaster!"
Ya know, I know it is rather trite and juvenile, but in a college setting it seems very inappropriate. AND, I did not even know the guy, but I did know the friend who said nothing. I don't wear game shirts, I only talk about games with my friends, and I never give the impression that I am that kind of person, why would someone go out of their way to label me?
It's small, but even the smallest knife can cut...
Turning it around, I did realize that I could have been a better person too. There is this one kid that has a high squeaky voice that I tend to ignore every so often due to me being stressed, I will make an effort to say hi to him and not make him feel invisible. In a way, I am glad I got nicked by that knife, since it made me drop my own.

"I am glad I got nicked by that knife, since it made me drop my own."
Fan-freaking-tastic! Almost brought a tear to my eye ;)
I am glad you did like that line!
I liked it.
Oh, did you watch that pinkie keen vid?
You could take a risk and respond with a comical "Fuck you I am level 40" while leaving the room. ;d
