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.

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.

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

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

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

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

"Parker is mean? Really?" John nods lazily. "I'm here for you."

And he yawns.

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]

"She beats me on a regular basis," Zack added.

Tyler glanced them over. "That one looks like Cox," he said. "But there's something wrong with his mouth..."

Re: Assignment: [8/15]

John blows his nose.

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?"
