Maybe I should switch to maths... I have a professor who is so wonderful that he inspires me to actually study, and this in a field in which I am not very good and is not my academic discipline. I think I have a little girl crush on him. He is hilarious! The work he gives is difficult, but he is very understanding and has a fascinating teaching philosophy and methodology. He calls students "stupid" when they answer questions incorrectly, he is very controversial. A girl asked a question the other day and he said, "That is one of the stupidest questions I have ever heard, and you should reconsider pursuing an education and settle for being a sexual object until you are in your late 20s and worn out. I think it is more important to find someone stupid enough to marry you and support you at this point than it is to know what a coefficient is." Can you ******** believe that?! Maybe I am masochistic and spiteful, but that kind of person does not discourage me, only makes me want to work harder for approval and recognition. Mathematics has never been so interesting. I cannot wait until I am a tenured professor so I can brutally insult people and not have to consider any consequences.

	That's pretty cool, though I think a bit overdone. It's god to be controversial, a smart a, and controversial, but you still have to respect people's feelings. Just because a person asks a stupid question, it doesn't necessarily follow from that that the person is stupid; (s)he could be ignorant, nervous, or generally insecure, or any combination of the above. Besides, the world, including academia, is governed largely by less-than-brilliant or even -highly-intelligent people, so it's a bit of egocentrism to take pride to the point of inflicting pain or standing by in assent to it, all on the basis of something that you can lay no claim to credit for it existing. Of course, I do this sort of thing, too, but nonetheless I also know it's wrong and endeavor to become a more accepting and tolerant person. Oh, and speaking of irrationality, I hate you TrazzmaIsSexy**. I'm far more worthy of Fjola than someone who can only glibly masturbate out single sentences that convey nothing more than lust, and a rather adolescent-sounding one at that.

	Someone's a bit jealous, though I can't say I blame you.

	Not so sure, since she seems to act rather callously intellectually snobbish.

	She is, and that's part of why she's so great.
