( Some fellow with the screenname GirlsRDumb thinks he knows what's wrong with the feminine populace and wants to show them how to be women )
I wrote him an email. I couldn't help myself. It was like a baby just rolled by in a stroller and held his candy out for me to take, and sensing that I had not taken it yet, dropped it in my lap with a letter that said "Please take it. I'm diabetic. Really, you'd be helping me out."
This was my response:
Wow. Turn off MTV and leave the frat house. I don't know who the heck you hang out with for you to develop these opinions (and then on top of that, think they're awesome and worth sharing).... but most females our age are nothing even remotely related to the thoughtless, high-horse, misogynistic generalizations you've just plastered on every "girl" that is not wearing a suit and working at a finance firm. You sound like a complete jackass who has no experience with the opposite sex beyond sexual encounters and idealistic whimsies. Most females were peer-pressured into drinking alcohol and otherwise would never touch the stuff? Most girls are afraid of sex? Most girls are coy and attracted to drooling beer-pong playing douchebags? Most girls cry uncontrollably, instigate the relationship problems, avoid sensitivity, are so shallow that only parties and pectorals attract them, and end relationships because you aren't fun? Most girls don't know the difference between love, sex, and emotionally hollow comfort? Where are you even looking that you think this is the norm? What hole did you crawl out of? I think you're the one who needs the reality check. It sounds like you've dated a whopping 2 girls in your entire life. You have got to be kidding me... No wonder you're single! Look at the way you think of women (and no, I'm not using your strange dichotomy from a 1890's school of thought on girls versus women)! Why on earth would any female ever date a guy who is boasting 23 opinions on why the majority of her gender is inferior and cant take care of themselves or even know what they want? My advice: stop thinking you're a guru and graduate from your high school dating psyche.
[edit 9:30pm] Aaaaand, his response:
wow...for once a girl writes me complaining. You know its sad when every other girl who wrote me, wrote me saying "I AGREE". youre the only one who complained.
whats even funnier is, i wrote in the very beginning "this ad is directed towards dumb girls"...SOOOOOOO, only a DUMB girl would get mad. obviously!
hey you girls say you want honesty...so i gave it. I guess ur one of the typical girls who wants to be told what she wants to hear, and cant handle the truth, so i guess u should go talk to another guy whos gonna tell you what you wanna hear, and then use you, break your heart.
have fun with that. thanks for making me laugh, i needed that.
[edit 9:40] Aaaaand my response:
While not comical, what's sad is that only a "dumb girl" as you like to label them would enjoy listening to you divide her gender into two black and white slices, explain how she is most likely retarded and doesn't know herself because she has a, b, and c completely unrelated and nonexclusive qualities, and how you can masterfully identify a "good" woman by whether or not she chooses to date you, AND THEN presume that she is special and wouldn't fall under your criticism. I wouldn't find fault in your judgment if it weren't based on some of the most thoughtless, generalized, presumptuous, and downright sexist credentials I have ever heard. In fact, what's ironic is that any girl who responds to you praising your wisdom on women is probably one of these mysterious "dumb girls" you lambast against, because only a senselessly oblivious personality would read your empty dollhouse railings and see a seasoned man instead of a boy with a tantrum who got passed by at a party by the girl he wanted.
You don't need to respond. I'm definitely done. We are on two completely different tiers of sociological understanding, yours being towards the bottom. But feel free to have the last word if you must. |

There's a movie in the making called Prince of Persia: Sands of Time based off the video game, with Jake Gyllenhal as the Prince!! Jerry Bruckheimer's producing it. I'm flipping out. I love IMDb.
In other news: Green Volkswagen Bug when I go home for spring break. That's right. The twelve year old wagon is getting its ass traded in, which means I've got to clean it up, vaccum, and scrub it inside and out when I go home next thursday. But, totally worth a couple hours of labor to get a used lime green Volkswagen Bug :):):) I can take over payments for the bug as soon as I get hired this summer, and mum's going to cover them for me until then. Super nice. (We've got to do it now, though, before the economy gets better. Car dealers are practically giving cars away right now. They've got to be the smallest margins in American auto history!)
In other news, I ran my tests tonight for the senior thesis data I've been tweaking for three weeks.
Statistically Significant Results, bitches!
I have a thesis. I have evidence. Boo-yah! Publication, here I come!
In other hilarity, I was on Vickies today (not purchasing! just looking.) and I saw an amusing fine print down at the very bottom of the homepage about a product Recall. I clicked it, and sure enough, it was a little stuffed Vickies bear I had gotten for a friend for Christmas in 2007. And what date is the recall for? Like a week after I had bought it. It had been recalled for a choking hazard. What the fuck, haha. |

....That's all I have to say about that. Thank jesus's beard it's over and no one gives a damn. I'm sure someone is disappointed about that fact. nyah ha ha!
Anywho, I refuse to edit this entry today,so I'm going to be just typing the way I talk--and I talk in circles, so basically this entry is going to be a compilation of inane babble that goes something like "blahblah getting called into work every night, josh is amazing, I'm bad at mixing cosmopolitans, wish finals were over, friends are awesome, effing tennessee!!"
Yep. That's actually a pretty good summation of my thought process this week. I feel like I should write something meaningful, touching, and/or introspective, but that's not how my brain is functioning this week. In fact, my brain hasn't functioned in that way since, oh, maybe three months ago. I always feel dumber by the end of semesters, like I can't think in multisyllabic words or function on a keyboard except to draw graphs in Excel about market prices versus risk-free treasury rates.
This calls for my Brisco icon, because I am utterly ridiculous and useless for homework today. I'm also tired of having this bacterial plague, whatever the balls it is. Really, everytime I finish the antibiotics it comes back. Granted I'm not a stickler about taking them correctly every single day, but it shouldn't matter anymore when I've been on them for this long! Grrr. I needz a doctor. TWO MORE WEEKS PLEASE, BODY! |

In positive news, there was epic partyage to be had last night. All my favorite people were there, which was nice. Everything just clicked--it went off flawlessly. ibquincy was a tub of glee the whole time, and everyone was "in the zone" as the saying goes. MARVELOUS.
Doing my thing at the bookstore, touching livejournal for the first time in what seems like ages. I mean, I post a lot of screened entries every two weeks or so, but I haven't posted an open update in a while. Let's see, went to Bowie and then to Owings on friday to Olive Garden (squee!) and then to spend the night at Josh's parents' place. SOOO comfy! His house is luxurious. There were car troubles, because apparently I'm a curse in that department, but all in all an excellent trip! I GOTS ROSEZ! I ♥ flowers.
Alas, I have a sinus infection it seems. I get to go to the Health Center (the bane of my existence *cringe*) for the eighteen hundredth time this year to pick up some amox and try to get rid of this shit. Hacking up a lung is really not attractive or fun. It also sucks trying to sleep at night.
Nashville is coming closer. EEEEEEEE! That is all.
Oh, and I officially am angry at my school for its wrongdoings to the_8th_square. What a scandal they're trying to start :/ I DISAPPROVE!
One last tidbit: The senior project is up and running. I've got the statistical plan laid out, I've got a mentor on board, and I've got resources started. Hot diggity!
Lineup for next semester:
~30 hours at the store
Public Sector Economics
Industrial Organization
International Finance
Chamber Singers
First half of Senior Project

I don't know what the hooplah is over Boondock Saints. It's such a massive cult film, and everyone raves it as an original gem of "true" film. Man, this movie is so "true"! Wow, really? You think it's a jackpot of filmic meaning? You think it's a basilica of morality? The themes glorified therein were the justifications used for every religious war/genocide ever conducted on this planet. Same plot sequence: a guy suffers, then wakes up in a cold sweat one night with a "revelation from God" that they have to purge someone in order to make the world cleaner and better. Sounds like your typical hotheaded violent rages to me, made ten times more dangerous because the one with the gun is the one who thinks he's doing God's will. It frightens me how many ignorant ((that's not to say all Boondock St fans are ignorant---just the majority who fit the following description)) post-pubescent boys rave over the badassery and "rightness" of that film, how "no one's ever done something like this". These are typically the same kids that drive around listening to bad punk music with dog tags around their neck and stories about how they "totally beat the shit out of this kid one time...." because they want to be like the Boondock Saints. What the hell. Even the TITLE admits, tongue in cheek--or does the director actually believe his protagonists are protagonistic?--that it's just a bunch of recycled fanatic killers. The Boondock saints, as opposed to all the other so-called saints around the world that do God's bidding through blood. Saints: people rewarded with glorious titles who convert and/or kill because God tells them to. The Popes who reigned during the Crusades thought they would be saints someday, too. Joan of Arc, Muhammad, every religious figure of the Old Testament, Hitler, nearly every Islamic warlord.... COME ON! Please, do we need more kids growing up conducting blood justice because they "know" it's the right thing to do?
Ugh. I can't stand that movie. For crying out loud, people need to give it a rest.
Let me be specific in my disapproval, so as not to offend those I don't want offended: It's fine to appreciate this movie for all its qualities, or its over-the-top, almot parody-like violence, it's atypical antagonistic protagonists, .... But don't like it because you think it's "the moral voice of the decade, the kind of municipal action we need nowadays, tra la la la..." That is just ignorant, and that is what I disapprove of. |

--Let's not speak of the travesty that was super tuesday. *glares at everyone with shifty eyes*
Still no sign of the crab. We fear he is dead somewhere, never to be seen again. Actually, we'll probably find his carcass at the end of the semester when we move out. Grr. How ominous.
I'm conducting a Yami no Matsuei screening this friday with snacks and such It should prove squee-worthy.
And finally, I'm seding in my info to Omicron Delat Epsilon something or other for National Economics Honors Society. Stupid $32 entry dues. We hates them, precious.
That completes my updates. My social life is very chill at the moment. I'm mainly focusing on work, school assignments (it's never done. EVER) and close friends. I've turned up my nose at romance and am trying to feed my sense of independence until at least spring break. --Unless some incredible being appears and I get revved up. But come on, the likelihood of that is minimal. Granted, it happened last semester out of the blue, and I suppose it could happen again with some other unknown. But....... working in the campus center, I know just about everyone. I'm not even exaggerating. There are few people on this campus I know nothing about or don't recognize by name/face/stories from other people.
That's the end of that. |

The crayfish has somehow escaped the tank through the thermometer hole in the roof and ventured out into the room, where he subsequently died. We can't seem to locate the body, but ibquincy can smell him. It's a sad day for my fish tank. It has lost a very entertaining and beloved member. Now who will dwell inside the castle and burrow hovels?
I either broke my big toe or jammed it on thursday. I'm leaning towards just jamming badly, because the bruising and swelling have gone down significantly in less than a week. Do NOT ask how it happened. It's too dumb to relay. And besides, I'm angry at the person in question for other reasons, and so don't want to give him credit for breaking/jamming my toe.
I managed to find Jerry Maguire for 2.99 including shipping on Amazon. That pleased me greatly. Now I can watch Kushman sing "Kush-lash" from the comfort of my couch any time of night. But shhhh: I also found The Secretary for cheap! It's a surprise for Mayumi, even though she reads my journal. Nyah ha ha...
Courseload work is kicking my rear, but I'll get through it somehow. This summer I'm going to be freaking exhausted. I don't want to have to cook up edited resumes and applications for internships this month on top of everything else. Ugh. I don't think I'm going to accept anymore bookings for February or March, because I'm going to need saturdays to sleep in and have energy for papers. Naaaargh. Stoopid college. Who does this? I think it was frigginalex that said "Junior year of college is like perpetual wednesdays, where there's always three things due and you never sleep well."
MMmmmmmfff, super tuesday tomorrow. C'MONNNNN ROMNEY! You can do it! I sent in my absentee last week, and Maryland's isn't even until the 13th anyway. But I hope tomorrow goes well, otherwise my vote on the 13th won't matter :/

Mitt Romney: 53%

I took my roommate to get her belly button pierced today in celebration of her acceptance to the one-year teaching certification program after college that our campus offers. While we were out, we stopped by Petco and oogled swimmy things. We got....
A CRAYFISH!
....for the house tank. Well, they're mine, but they're a house affair and so we all are involved in the fish goings-on. I'm driving to Baltimore this morning around 8, but luckily I'll have this evening to nap, drink margaritas, and watch films, etc. You know, the typical saturday evenings before the semester starts getting violent and we hide in our rooms huddled over keyboards and sources and manuals. I hate getting home late on saturdays. Those are my lazy days!
We named the crayfish Scuttle, since he scuttles all over the rocks. He burrowed a satisfactory little hovel under the fish castle and is currently being ridiculously cute down in there.
Russian class is coming along splendidly. I think I've got the Cyrillic alphabet down, but we'll see when she whips out the flashcards on us on wednesday. |
