They have a name for this.

I think it's called schadenfreude.

Slightly different; schadenfreude isn't necessarily laughing at pain caused by you, just laughing at pain.

A German over here; Schadenfreude is made of two words, 'Schaden' (= damage) and 'Freude' (= happiness).
Essentially Schadenfreude is the enjoyment of the misfortune of others in any way, let it be pain, or just unhappiness or whatnot.
Ergo e.g. when someone trips over hilariously and you feel amusement you're having Schadenfreude. c:
 
Oh, it's like "skadeglädje" in Swedish. The exact same meaning. We have a saying "Skadeglädje is the only true happiness" xDDD what kind of people are we...

I really got an urge to talk about the weather. Andy, will you slap me if I talk about the weather here or is it okay if I talk about the weather? Because the weather is amazing.
 
The weather is one of those things you can be glad it exists both for what it does to us and its usefulness for when we simply don't have any better things to say. :P

Has anyone here antiqued someone before? If you don't know what it is, it's when you throw flower on someone, normally when they are asleep.

I was at this camp one night and we antiqued this guy who wouldn't shut up and made us lose this game the previous day. My cabin antiqued him once. Then he woke up fell back asleep, we did it again. Then he went to take a shower and we dumped the bag of flower on him. After that he just went to sleep with where the night guard was. God now that I think about it I've pulled some glorious pranks back in the day. Water balloons with sardine juice, water guns filled with pickle juice, t-ping so many different things. lol

Bringing the topic back here for JUST A SEC.

I roll dough at work, making pizzas okay? And that means I am covered in flour like ALL DAY ERRY DAY. I have two days off work and I am STILL picking flour off of me. So I go to the store and people ask me if I swim in the flour lol. Well, at work, this guy named Jeff asks me if I have been antiqued and I'm all like, what the hell does that mean. ARE YOU CALLING ME OLD. He just laughed and explained it to me and that is how I know what antiquing is despite not being the type of person to engage in such an activity. :P

So on topic, weather. I much prefer winter weather. Summer coming up here in the northern hemisphere sucks. :<

I'm finding it hard to believe, we're in heaven~ :p

It was so exhilarating an frightening skipping my fifth hour final today, going on my way out with security guards and cops and admins tailing me while I was on my bicycle - all I was really missing was a banjo riff while I slipped away. This is where we send our kids every day to "learn", y'all. I felt like a prisoner and in all honesty am more than a little scared to go back tomorrow. #onlyinamerica #freedom #♥♥♥♥yeah
 
I was done with my finals a week ago,

I emailed my professor to let me know if she got my email with my final paper attached (I even put in big capital letters "PLEASE RESPOND". She hasn't replied yet.

This worries me.
