  • I hate romantic movies, but the thing is...I want to like them a lot. I think there is nothing more adorable than being in love, or wanting to find love, and watching a movie that just reminds you of your relationship. Well, your relationship with more attractive people, outfits, one liners, and lifestyles.

    My issue comes in when I watch probably 90% of the romantic movies I find them to be so fucking irritating I can't stand it. I'll be honest, it's mostly because of the women. They're always beautiful, they're always glamorous. They are size 2s and their hair always looks good. Their makeup is flawless, etc.

    But usually I can't find a single other attractive feature about them. They're whiney, they overanalyze, they turn innocuous comments into vicious insults or conniving statements with ulterior motives. They stalk, they talk shit, they make fun of the guys friends, they make their guys stop doing their favorite activities, they hold sex ransom...They're generally annoying as shit.

    Conversely, the leading guy is usually perfect. He has a great job, he always has a wonderful body, he has a sweet family, and that "I'm broken" demeanor that drives women crazy. He's funny, he's charming, he's athletic, he's considerate.

    NOW, it can't be coincidence that the movies are always written this way. So my conclusion is either that men are actually looking for fucking psychotic women whose only attraction is physical...or these movies are just a tacit approval for women that their behavior is okay. That you can just do whatever you want, if you look pretty, and you'll get the man of your dreams...of any woman's dreams. These men will happen to women JUST LIKE YOU! Don't change, you're good just the way you are. He will love you for you, crazy shit and all. Isn't that amazing?! You deserve nothing but the best.

     

    Fuck you, Romantic Movie Industry.

  • I know we're not in college anymore...

    ...but honestly, have you forgotten how AIM works?

    Listen, there is this function on AOL Instant Messenger called "going idle."  With this feature turned on, others are able to see when you have not been at your computer for 10 minutes or more. I think the assumption is that when you walk away from your computer, your friends can tell you haven't been there and don't continue to IM you. It's a polite feature, with a goal of helping your friends out. Right?

    Right.

    There is another feature called a "Timestamp."  A "timestamp" shows you when you sent or received a message. There are many uses for this feature.

    Putting these two features together equals a very effective and not a terribly clever way for me to figure out when you walk away from the computer *after* I have just messaged you a question. When my computer tells me you've gone idle 12 minutes after I IMed you...it is clear to me that you are avoiding me. Similarly, I can also tell when you come back from idle and immediately sign off. You're not fooling anyone, and it makes you look like a fucking tool.

    Lastly, it's not like I'm not avoiding your ass. You really think I spend any time away from my computer? No. Of course I don't. But I remember simple things like turning "idle" off. If I have idle on, believe me, I'll remember not to blatantly ignore you. The last thing I want to look like is rude, and stupid.

  • New Haircut

    I have cut my hairs. My "hurr" is "did."  I actually was able to donate some of it to locks of love this time too! I mean, really, I haven't had my hair this short ever. I came close once in college, but that was still inches longer than this business. But anyway, I think it's sassy and I'm stoked. Also, check out my myspace or facebook for goofy "yearbook" pictures. If you haven't been to yearbookyourself.com yet then you're missing out!

     

     

    I don't know why these are so small. They're on my myspace. Anyhoo. g'night.

  • Entomologists of the world unite, saying, "HOLY SHIT!"

    Ok, so here is the backstory on this.  I had been out drinking and I came home, very tired, very ready to go to bed.  Since my parents were out of town I had to go feed the horses at around 10:30 PM or so.  I walk into the barn, and I had to get something out of our hay stall:

    To give you some perspective

    One of the horses was looking especially cute, so while I was in this hay stall, I reached out to pet her sweet sweet little nose. What happened next involved a lot of screaming and freaking out.  As I reached out, my hand started going through a big ass spider web....like I could feel each base strand snapping as my hand when through it.

    A little closer...

    When I look up, do you want to know what I saw? *shudder* THIS. (you can see where she is in the pictures above if you didn't look already)

    This is where she looks really big
    Another angle
    See the cat face? It's upsidedown
    angles!
    God, seriously. so scary
    HAIRY ASS.
    Chubby, hairy bitch.

    Anyhoo, so I did some research and it turns out that she is a female cat-faced spider.  I did some research because I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to die.  Luckily these little beasties aren't dangrous to humans, while they're big, even if I get bit, they'd only have the venom the same power as a wasp sting or something...which would still be terrifying...but at least I'm not gonna die. 

    We also watched her eat a fly, which was pretty sweet. Luckily she also only comes out at night. During the day she hides out in the hay scale.

    Anyway, I hate spiders. I fucking hate them.

  • Asshats at my gym

    Everytime I go to the gym I usually notice that there is at least one car that is parked illegally in the parking lot right in front of the doors. Either people are parking in the handicapped spaces, or in those triangle things that signify the end of the row of stalls. Today, there were three cars parked illegally and they were starting to cut off where people are actually supposed to drive in and out of the parking lot.

    Now maybe this is fucked up of me, but don't you think that when you're going to the GYM, where you're planning on working out and exerting energy to burn some fat off your ass for dozens of minutes...don't you think it's possible you could just put in that *little* extra effort and walk the extra 10-30 feet from a real parking stall to the door of the gym? Or is that asking too much?

    I think you're missing the point, you lazy piece of shit. You and your ass deserve each other.

    "shibbystang" incase you didn't know... is ... actually, maybe leaving it a mystery is more fun... yay for fun!
  • shibbystang
    I have to say, I think what is more sad than that guy being the "next" person that found the chatboard 1 year and 7 months later.. is that you responded 1 minute after he wrote that. Have you been waiting all this time ;)
  • uneekpeek
    Oh thank god. I'm glad you were my first. You were very gentle.
  • derk_niblick
    So, can I honestly be the "next" person who found this. . . 1 year, 7 months later?!?!?! You've been waiting for a long time, babe! I'm glad you saved it for me
  • uneekpeek
