DJ, I think all you can do is offer sympathy and comfort. And support.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

[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.

And Vortex - do we need to take you out for booze to soften the pain of the stupidity?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'd probably be a much better person if I weren't thinking, "That is *so* like her."
Haven't said it out loud, even to B who thought she was a crazy asshole too.

You're allowed to think it, and you have us so that you have someone you can safely "say" it to.

{{DJ & friend}}. And yeah, good to say those things here to relieve the pressure and avoid blurting them where you shouldn't. You are a good friend, and your sympathy and caring are all you can offer. And your friend is lucky to have that from you.

If people are going to lie, at least lie about something that isn't so easy to check up on.
Yes, he needs to learn an important life lesson about how to lie. He either needs to say he mailed the application by U.S. mail and it was returned; his crazy neighbor keeps stealing packages; or someone died.

I am a bad person too, because when my cousin's wife's grandson killed himself, that's what I thought about him. It's a terrible thing for her friends and family.

or someone died.
It is always a grandmother who dies in my experience (when students are lying). My sister (a professor) and I used to keep a running count of how deadly final exam week was for grandmothers v. grandfathers, and it was easily 10:1.
Put me in the bad person group.

If people are going to lie, at least lie about something that isn't so easy to check up on.can he be flagged as a potential violator of the ethics policy of the school. If he's going to lie about that, would he be likely to cheat, steal, plagiarism? Or lie about other projects? I dunno. Anything to prevent him from invading your world.
What? Me? vindictive? NSM.
