I'm kind of regretting quitting school.

Too late to do anything now.

Don't fuckin' wait man... go back.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

I'm so behind, though. Not to mention I went to school in a whole different country. I wouldn't even know how to start.

[guitarandscars.livejournal.com]

Just trust me when I say to take the fucking excuses and throw them out the window. I never went to college, but my advice is to... I don't know, get an advisor or something. Look up information. Just do something.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

College? I never even went to high school.

*panicky voice* It's overwhelming, I don't...it paralyses me.

[guitarandscars.livejournal.com]

Alright, so go back to highschool. People do it everyday. Its no big deal.

Arthur...

It's not too late. Please don't ever think that.

You know I'll help you, right?

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

It would be a waste of time. I wasn't even smart enough to pass the first time around.

*wrinkles his nose* Fuck, I hated school. The idea of going back makes me want to puke. Wish I just would have stuck it out.

[anson-greene.livejournal.com]

Hey.

*slips his arms around him*

Don't say that. You're plenty smart.

There's special classes you can take to get your high school equivalency. Lots of people do it, people way older than you, people who didn't get to finish school for whatever reason. You can even study at home. There's a girl who works in the deli downstairs in my building. She's a college student and she tutors to make extra money. I bet she'd be glad to help.

There's something I've been wanting to tell you. I was going to surprise you with it, but this seems like a good time. *deep breath* I'm going to college, in the Spring. It was Vic's idea. He wants me to get my Computer Science degree. It'll help the business, and I guess it'll be good for me too. Anyway...I'm scared too, Arthur, for all the same reasons you are. I never went to high school either. I didn't go to school at all, except for kindergarten and first grade. I was supposed to see the teacher every day in the institution, but I only got to see her three times a week. I mean, I know I'm not smart, but I'm still gonna try.

What I'm trying to say is, if I can do it, you can do it. *smiles* What do you say?

...

No.

You do not need to attend a school to be successful, monsieur.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

I know.

Just, I think, perhaps I could be successful like everyone else and in a way that does not involve committing sexual acts for money.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

I am sure you will be, monsieur but school is not the be all and end all. Consider this an opportunity.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

For what?

[draconian-fiend.livejournal.com]

I never went to school. I learned to kill.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

...

Okay.

[draconian-fiend.livejournal.com]

I was a warrior?

Than a vampire.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

Oh.

But then didn't you go to warrior school? To learn...war?

[silenziosa-odio.livejournal.com]

An 'education' isn't all it is made out to be.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

I know.

But it can get you a job at The Gap.

[silenziosa-odio.livejournal.com]

What is The Gap?

And do you need money? *frown*

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

It's this place that sells clothes to people with masters degrees and hybrid cars.

Not really. I just...like some.

[golden-bill.livejournal.com]

Aww, couldn't cut it at Oxford, Artie?

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

I feel like kind of an arse for saying that to you. I'm sorry.

[golden-bill.livejournal.com]

You should. It was an asshole thing to say. And hypocritical it seems. It's cool though. Don't worry about it.

[le-gamin.livejournal.com]

I was really only joking; I didn’t mean to take away from your accomplishment. I think it’s really great and I’m happy for you.

Maybe I was a little jealous of you going to college. I never even went to high school.
