I dunno, I got no problem with college love. Maybe because my mom still roots for U of M, 58 years after graduating. It's no odder than people getting all proud of their state or type of computer or sports team or genre of music or game console or TV show. Peeps tend to get all proud of their self-selected group--that's why they selected that group in the first place.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Punishingly Intricate
sometimes I like to live in a dream world where, maybe, somewhere...there is a place where morons aren't.
But your talents would be wasted there!

Always Anti-fascist!
I have no Be True To Your School. I guess cause I went to one where if you're breathing and have 2.5 GPA they had to take you.(And they're not so picky about the 2.5.) So I don't care when they paint the mountain or any of that homecoming stuff

Agreed. But there's being proud of your group and there's thinking that your group is so awesome that all others suck. And verbalizing that. Loudly. Unrelentingly.
Kristin, I hope that Byron's tumors are nothing to worry about.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

This. I mean, fine, you think your school or church or BDSM dungeon is Da Whip Sheeit and Constructed Entirely of Awesome, but, dude...
1) Shut the fuck up about it.
2) Do not presume to tell anyone your social whatever is so Divine In Nature that MY group must, by dint of Not Being Your Group, suck.
3) Shut the fuck up about it.

Fear of this keeps me far, far away from joining. Me? Not a joiner...except of course, here...and my March community...and my neighborhood group...and, okay...I' guess I'm a serial monogamist when it comes to groups.
I don't, however, have any be true to your school. Not really sure why.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I went to a college where the cheer was "Beat 'em up, tear 'em up, kill Quakers, kill!" (actually my college's brother school, but you get the idea ... OUR cheer was in Greek).
