How to Win Friends and yadda yadda yadda [8/15]

[dr-snark.livejournal.com]

Cox belts out a sharp peircing whistled and points for everyone to sit down in their seats. When everyone is at least pretending to pay attention, Cox begins his rant lecture.

"If you're like me? Chances are people are going to annoy you with their pesky personal problems that will distract you from your main goal in life. In order to deal with this issue you must learn to look like you care when really you don't.

Method One: Feign interest.
"Gosh Newbie. I never realized how wonderfully boring your life could be. Please tell me in excruiating detail about how your stuffed dog smells like pancakes."

Method Two: Barely acknowledge their existence
*grunt*

Method Three: Find a polite way to get out of the conversation while still making said person think you care about their feelings
"Go away Newbie."

Please pair up with another classmate. One of you will whine and emo about your life and the other will use all three methods outlined for you. Then switch."

Blair waited for a partner and started drawing sock puppets on his notebook. There was Dr. Cox with a smile on his face and Becky wearing a wimple and a tiny Blackadder puppet who was hugging a dirty Baldrick sock.

"Hey, Blair. Want to work together?" Tyler wasn't tilting his head to see wht Blair was drawing. Really.

"Sure, man." Blair grinned and held up his picture. "Whaddya think? Do you recognize any of them?"

John takes a seat and waits for someone to partner up with. And makes a note not to call Aeryn pudgy today.

"Good afternoon, John," Zack said.

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Hey Zack," John says. "Here to whine at me?"

Peter sits down and pretends to listen to Dr. Cox's lecture before looking for a partner.

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

Ranma does pretty much the same thing and walks over to Peter. "Hey Peter. How have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time."

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter smiled at Ranma. "I'm doing very well. And same here. I would have wondered if you'd gone home except that I hear of you on the radio. How are you?"

Oh, no, Aeryn has no experience with this one.

Okay, the feigning interest thing will be a new experience.

Looking like she cared when she really didn't? This idea just brought Elizabeth back to all her briefings with Rodney.

Although she'd never tried Method Two with him.

"Hey, Aeryn. Need a partner?"

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

[can_be_more]

"Sure," Aeryn says. "I'm not very good at talking, though." Like that's escaped anyone's notice.

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack came over to Aeryn. "John said I should ask you for a hug. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/976689.html?thread=52081969#t52081969)"

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

Aeryn stares at him.

"Go away."

You can't spell demon without emo. Bel waited for a partner.

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

Greg bounded over. "Hi!"

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey," Bel said. He grinned. "Shall I tell you my tales of woe, or do you want to be emo first?"

While Tim looked/waited for a partner, he began to tell his life story, starting with the Banshee showing up, to himself, breaking in occaisionally with the three methods Cox had told them about.
