BrrÂ… back with the coveted 69er issueÂ… yeah baby, yeah.
Its frickin' cold.
It's almost time to stop wearing shorts I think.
Onwards though, onwards! Even though when I was a little girl I had to go up hill in 3 feet of snow both ways to get to school and back home again.
So, to bitch about some things since bitching goes way back in time, might as well keep the tradition rolling.
eBay sucks.
Online shopping should be banned, its way too easy to spend money you don't have. Hell, its easy to get ripped off with all this online crap. One might say I could run my own store front and gather credit card numbers and rake in the dough within a short period of time and be gone forever to that far away place I've always wanted to hang out at while drinking large quantities of Pina Coladas. That's the shit, right there. Watch for it, coming Soon! PoC - The ScaM.
Although I have yet to be ripped off from online shopping you still hear about it all the time, so for the paranoid, I've come up with a list (that took weeks to derive) of tips to protect you from online fraud, or just downright overspending.
- Don't shop online.
- Give me your credit card so I can max it out, then you can't shop online.
- Give me your credit card so I can max it out, then cut it up into a little Credit Card man, woman or cat.
- Give me your already maxed out card so I can do the above, it's less fun, but oh well I will live.
- Burn your computer.
That's the list, isn't it magical? I thought soÂ… Forward HO!
ASL? ASL? ASL?
I'm not talkin' American Sign Language either. I'm a frequent to "chat rooms"Â… yeah, it's like a TV if you don't like what you see you can turn the channel, or turn it off.
Anyways, I'm really annoyed by people on IRC, ICQ, NapsterChat, and whatnot where the first thing off of their fingers is "A/S/L?" or something very similar to that. Short for those who don't know "ASL" means "age, sex and location?"
I find this very rude. So rude in fact my sarcasm takes over and that person is usually outta the 'room' quite quickly.
Let's put it this way, although when you meet someone "in real life" (since a chat room is classified as fake life even though the people are real but the names are made up, then again so are most of the behaviour patterns) do you walk up to a person and say, "hey, what's your age and where you from?" right off the bat? I don't @#$!ing think so. So why the hell do you do it on a "chat line"? Really, truly, what difference does it make weather I'm 15 or 26 or 85? You're there to chat right? Are you afraid to meet someone older than you? Do you change your "mode" when you find out that chick is older? Damn you tools, get a clue and learn to understand people for who they are, not what society points them out to be (you know, a 12 year old is gonna be stupid and immature compared to a 22 year old [hah, they've not met me!] When really you have no farking clue until you talk to them.).
So next time you jump into a new "room" "line" "channel"Â… restrain from asking "ASL?" It just shows that you're lame. :) Chances are you also just turned a few people off.
That's it, no more bitching for me.
~do the humpty dance~
Moving right alongÂ…
My heater is broken, there I'm bitching. Someone come fix it.
Ok, I lied.
;)
The Great Debate
As you may have noticed there's a new survey question up on the main page. This is 'cuz of a debate that's been on going for quite some time. Well, it's not really a debate on my part since I do accept both spellings with the true difference being Oi is English, and Oy is not. Hell, some people even go as far as adding an e! Oye!
So, for the most part just vote on it so I know what you think, it's pointless but so is life.
Until the next time, or when another nuke blows up, I'm outta here.

Word up ... I hate "ASL?" ... I like entertaining myslef by responding with the trusty "69/Hermaphrodite/Your Mom's Vagina" reply.
