Never got to go to college. Well not counting being forced onto shitty 'access to employment' courses to retain what income Tsath' does have A few hundred a month.
All that shitty course did was setout computers and have some old miserable cow to harangue and abuse people.
Bitch in question picked on who she saw as weakest. This being one particular young girl, quiet type, seemed quite sweet, kind, good natured, kept herself to herself
and in all the time Tsath' was there he never once saw her make trouble for anyone. But she was relentlessly picked on and humiliated.
So toady and his then partner in crime, so to speak, we got this girl some payback. Was picking up lunch in a chinese market, and found they sold durian fruit. Lets just say that its reputation as a delicacy is erroneous in the extreme, but its reputation for packing one TERRIBLE stench, now THAT, is totally accurate. Books might say it rtastes like sweet flavored custard. Bollocks does it. It tastes (yes, he tried a bite, and nearly threw up, couldn't swallow the stuff, fuck no!) like alkyl selenides and tellurides smell. Or like a mixture of ammmonium sulfide, arsine and burning phosphorus (white). Kinda rotting metallic garlic mixed with leeks that have gone off and gone moldy and semi-liquified, with heavy overtones of raw sewage on a burning hot day.
So, we tossed it up in the buildings airvents and in the classroom bin. Then waited.
The building was evacuated, whilst they searched high and low for a gas leak. Building didn't even have a gas supply but still. The entire high-rise building cleared out, and we got everyone the day off

And as for sick with it...you bet. Been that since he was born. At least, from the moment he taught himself to read, he couldn't get enough of chem, bio, botany and mycology texts. When he can obtain some kind of NMDA antagonist and thus get his wetware booted up properly, he never LEAVES the lab. Literally. Well, to eat,drink, smoke and shit but thats about it. The only exception is when his opioid regime in combination with the adrenergic blockers and chlormethiazole knocks him out. He's just convinced, grudgingly, his GP to increase the latter from BD to TDS, which seems to be having more success in controlling his seizures.
Hehe he knows what you mean though. Just recently come to the end of a 3 day and night stretch in the lab without rest. Was about ready to drop when he got out of there though. And hungry as hell, at least until the fruits of his labors kicked in.
