i hear its come around to being cool again, like the 80's!

you could try ditching your friends for a group who aren't unmotivated slackers. Its really the only alternative to doing what you're doing now, because you're sure as shit not going to be able to force them to change their minds and you would be very stupid to try. Also, not failing your way through life tends to make it suck a lot less, just FYI.

I can't really tell if your asking for advice or not but uhh, you could just ignore him?
Yeah, I know you've tried before, but evidently you weren't trying hard enough. Sit away from him in class, busy yourself with work whenever he comes over, etc.

Yeah, I figured I'd get the LiveJournal response thing.
I guess I'll just have to keep ignoring him, but it's not easy.
I don't know if you've ever encountered someone you just cannot stand to be around, but I just want to get away from him.

Also, not trying to fail my way through life, just would rather not stress myself out and just enjoy my life the way it is (Minus this douche). I know that's no way to go about things, but who cares? I make decent grades, just not A's and B's all the time. And I like my friends. People who are motivated don't like me much, and I don't try and change their minds.

Have you actually told this guy what you think of him? Some people just are the way they are and are not going to magically change. Either accept the guy for who he is, or tell him all of the things you just told us and that you don't want to be friends with him anymore. Maybe that will create a rift between you and your "clique" and maybe they will all feel the same. I remember from your last thread that you often say things that come off as rude, or asshole-ish, and are quick to point out the faults in others, so why are you pointing the finger at this guy?

Maybe you're just seeing all of the things in him that you don't like about yourself?

I'm going to be honest here. You sound like an asshole. You are friends with a bunch of assholes. See a connection here?

Maybe if you stop being an asshole you can find friends who are not assholes.

You may or may not be an asshole, I'm not sure. It's always hard to tell. There are two very simple insights you need to internalize here:

1. There are 6 billion people on the planet Earth.
2. Life is short.

Nobody is forcing you to hang out with this guy. In your life, you will meet douches of all sizes and shapes. Some you'll just avoid, because it's easier, and see #1 and #2 above. Some, you'll just recognize and deal with their less flattering personality characteristics, because you enjoy some other aspect of their company, and see #2 above. Or, you can ignore both #1 and #2 and get your nuts in a knot every time somebody around you does something annoying, and you'll walk around annoyed all day.
