I don't really consider them 'hook up' threads in the usual sense. Just sort of a friend making thread. It's nice to find people who read a lot of the same books as you, and a plus if they live nearby as well.

that's me, but I'm a dude and unless you're into that...

Sorry to say, I go for females.
I really don't go to 4chan to pick up chicks.

I know, like, two songs by Steely Dan. One of them is pretty cool, I think it's called Black Cow or some shit like that. I'm pretty sure a cow is involved.

It's not really my kind of scene, but it sounds at least decent enough.

>>1290818
Hah! No thanks, not unless you're a trap.
I kind of think that that descriptor applies to most of the people who frequent 4chan.

Still, read any good books lately?

>>1290826

Gee, 4chan hookup thread?

There's no chance at all this will turn into a bunch of desperate ronery guys talking about fucking each other while the one actual girl that posted got creeped out and left two hours ago.

I mean, there's never been a precedent for that at all.

>>1290873

I have a question
Did you and Ty actually meet or was he just saying that?

>>1290889
did i say that i liked music, you nigger?

>>1290891
>Did you and Ty actually meet or was he just saying that?
lol i bet this is because i said earlier i wasnt even the most nervous person to go to it (which he -did- say!).

>>1290873
hi god :D, did you post your shelf earlier? the plague - camus was brought up i think so might have been you.

>>1290896

>>1290897
Hey Ty :D Nah I only just got home and I've never posted my bookshelf before due to lack of a camera.

I certainly hope you don't know him and if you do my condolences.

Massively fat guy with blond hair called Brian, He genuinely acted like those nerds in American movies who has no idea how to act like a human.

I mean he wasn't that bad of a person, rather pleasant and at least tried to be nice, he just didn't really seem to 'get' social things like how to talk normally or information you really shouldn't just blab to strangers you just met (He told me about things he'd masturbated to, Took an effort not to be sick)

Yeah that meet up did not last long at all, I was mysteriously called away on my phone that he didn't hear ringing for an emergency only I could deal with.

I do have to stress that almost all the other people who have been to the meet ups (about 10 now in total) have been rather nice and perfectly sociable, two were even girls.

>>1290936

I'll have to try and remember your trip, where in Manchester? not gay or owt just curious (where you're from not bicurious etc)

>>1290939
I've not really talked about most of the meet ups so I'm not surprised no ones heard of them.

And yeah a good 8 of the 10 meet ups have instantly said "hi I'm (name here)" I don't force it out of them but I guess some people like to keep real life and the internet separate or something, or just feel odd not being called by their name.

:)

>>1291015
Not sure what you mean by that phrase.

I wasnt going to ask as i don't go there either.

>>1291022
oh wait i can see why you thought i was going to ask that now....

>>1291022

What did you drop out?
Or were you at another university?

>>1291030
another uni but i think i am going to drop-out.

i could really save it right now since its just an attendance warning but i want to drop out & kind of sort things so that i actually have a life before going back.

Do you know if you still get to have 4 remaining years of fees if you drop out 1st yeard btw? (from SAAS i mean)

>>1291035

No, because each new year you have to re-apply to reaffirm your commitment to higher education.
If you don't notify them, you don't get a loan.

>>1291041
i dont really get what you mean, i have to finish this year in order to get the remaining years? no other way?

thats kinda..... damn.

>>1291044

No you get say 1000 for year one
At the end of year one after your last installment is payed, you have to go to SAAS, re-apply for second year. If you don't do this, they assume that you have either dropped out or don't need their help and you get nothing.
It's not like you get your 4 years sorted there and then before 1st year, you have to play it by year, you know?

Too bad about your uni, though.

>>1290849

Back the fuck up everybody, Valaquenta here in the motherfuckin /lit/ house!

>>1291049
I think I get it. If I drop out i have to pay the £3000 for the 1st year course the next time i do it. But then if i pass 1st year that time I can get the rest of the fees from SAAS for years 2-? right?

Any additional information: Like boys and girls.

>>1291055

Yeah.
As far as dropping out mid-year, I'm not sure because unless your uni tells SAAS you have dropped out, you'll still get the rest of your loan.

But yeah for year two, you have to reaffirm your details with SAAS to get money.

>>1291055

Oh wait, pay the £3000? If you instantly find a job that pays >£15,000 a year, then yes, but otherwise no.

Or just leave the country and don't pay at all.

>>1290847
Where in BC?

>>1291059
>As far as dropping out mid-year, I'm not sure because unless your uni tells SAAS you have dropped out, you'll still get the rest of your loan.
its not a loan, its course fees that went straight to the uni (though i did somehow get £1000 profit for extra shit/books ;) )

>>1291062
I'm not in debt! the course(1st year) cost £3000 which SAAS have already paid to the uni at the start of the year. But i'm dropping out of that course.

if i go for the course again will they still pay for first year again? I assume no, but they'll pay for the remaining years when i reach them.

>>1291075

No if you're going to reapply to university at a later date (Assmuning you're not just talking about gap years here), SAAS should have no reason to not give you full funding, though your due may be smaller overall.

Alluding to me liking Ayn Rand? The funny thing is I'd probably really like her writing if I read it at all. As for girlfriend, yeah, I'm not all broken up over it. I'd rather not be alone again, but if she lost interest in me, she lost interest in me. Not much I can do about that.

well its less to focus on & a different/more independent atmosphere i guess.

but i agree i wondered why people i knew didnt just focus on one subject at school, ignoring the others (though possibly still passing) as if they were at college.

>>1291257
Maybe I worded that incorrectly. Skipped as in, I'm a senior in highschool but taking highschool and college classes at a community college. I'm technically in highschool, I guess. But I never go there.

oh for the love of god............

waste of my fellow /lit/ards. Why aren't you posting your paragraphs and talking shit bout shit that doesn't really matter ? Heck I think I'd even prefer rand trollings to this tragically giant PoS thread.

You are readers, people. It's a solitary-based activity. Get over it

>>1292757
Because people have never gotten together to talk about books they read.

>>1292757
Bitter, aren't we?

I see nothing wrong with making friends who have similar interests. It's nice to have people to talk about books with, instead of shite like Twilight or vidya games all the time.

>>1292754
Check your email, feel free to respond at your leisure.

>>1292765
Trust me I couldn't agree more. I just find the whole process daunting.

IRL /lit/ards are everywhere ! You wanna talk about books and make friends ? Not make friends? Make love ? Just go to a library, it'll be like /lit/ only 9000x times funnier.

Any additional information: UVA :)

So what happens is you get the person's contact details whether it be e-mail msn or aim and you are quite simply a normal individual desiring a conversation but what inevitably arises out of all of this is that the person on the other end is quite often becoming of our stereotype; they are bitter, they have some sort of retarded axe to grind with some aspect of society or close-to-home internet culture, and talking to them is quite unbearable because of this delusion. Then there are the folks who are quite simply "shitty conversationalists", which can inevitably be translated to either 'shy', 'disinterested' or 'incompatible', and trying to strangle a convo out of them is often a process akin to tooth-pulling. Then there are the people who are quite as normal as you, and nothing is gained nor lost from your exchange with them. Every time the outcome is the same: dissatisfaction, emptiness; the sense that this is not fulfilling you in any way nor could it ever possibly do so. It is an overwhelmingly inauthentic means of communicating with other people. I always hear of exceptions but I never quite see the process of how people 'click' through this. Sage for /r9k/ shit.

>>1292919

That was both deep and edgy!

>>1292919
Are you speaking from personal experience or just spouting your speculations?

>>1292934
Oh, well at least this board has a theme as opposed to just whining...

>>1292919
All those inadequacies you find when conversing people stem from problems you have. Any healthy normal person would see it as a chance to converse and possibly make a friend/meet-up/hook-up and nothing more. All you expectations that (usually) are unfulfilled are a result of problems within you.
