Hell

See instead High School.

"Middle School and High School are Hell. This hell is different for each person, of course, the length of time spent within is variable. Some emerge victorious, blossoming in college and beyond. Others emerge after a struggle, but are noticeably scarred. Others don't emerge at all, and carry their private hell with them to eternity.

Anyone who remembers these years as a positive, idyllic time is someone I cannot for the life of me relate to." --David E. Mitchell

Atheism

The lack of a belief in the existence of a god or gods. This usually also means a lack in a belief in an afterlife, the soul, the supernatural, or any sort of ultimate reality outside of the physical one.

For the atheist, reality is limited to reductionist empiricism, morals are usually relative or determined by the rules of conduct that make civilization possible, life is it's own purpose, and the truth or falsity of religious beliefs is apparently subject to evidence (though there are no specifications as to what these are).

Athesim is not, despite many claims here, the default belief of all life or humanity at birth. To say that babies and animals are atheists is silly simply because we cannot ask them, and some indeed even argue that they are aware of the presence of "god" within them. Also, the fact that nearly every culture around the globe has, in some form or another, developed some mode of religious belief goes to show that religion is a much deeper part of the human experience than this particualr brand of atheism will admit.

idealist

"An idealist is a cynic in the making." --HL Mencken

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

infatuation

A spell with neither verbal or somatic components that is consciously or unconsciously cast by various charismatic, funny, and sexually appealing people, and instantly reduces the victim's I.Q. by 20 to 80 points. Half if they make their saving throw. The penalty applied is 18 minus the victim's wisdom.

If you feel yourself becomming infatuated, quickly leave before you do something stupid.
