Egyptian Contempt for All that Prospers

I thought everyone on the flist would enjoy this.

Some fellow with the screenname GirlsRDumb thinks he knows what's wrong with the feminine populace and wants to show them how to become women:

23 Rules for Girls. This is directed towards the dumb girls with no common sense, not the good girls.

Rule #1: If you want a decent guy, ditch the party, wild drunk scene. Also quit going for the party guys, "hot tattoo'ed tough guys", life of the party guys, and quit posting skanky pics of yourself online and dressing all sexy in public. Good guys want a WOMAN, not a wild drunk who has no respect for herself.

#2: You're not approachable when you're with your friends. Any person who gets you into those wild drunk, drama scenes doesn’t care about your well-being. Don’t let people who you probably won’t see in 15 years, dictate your life. And stop getting other people's approval of the guys you date; you're the one dating him, not them.

#3: Good guys like "SIMPLE" mature WOMEN who are themselves (and can think for themselves), not stupid and fake, and it’s easy to tell them apart. Remember the first time you got drunk? I’m sure you said no, but a 'friend' pushed you, so you did it and now like it! See, good guys like a gal who can think for herself and say no. Sadly, those who aren’t fake, are truly themselves and stick to their values/beliefs, end up alone and overlooked (but that’s not their problem).

#4: Rule for all: You need common sense and street smarts to survive in this world, not a piece of paper that says "degree". I know tons of people with Masters and PhDs who are doing sh!t because of "bad decisions" they made. Who cares if you didn’t go, live at home, are deaf, too short, too tall, chunky, etc...it doesn’t change you. Unfortunately too many people are (and will) put their jobs ahead of their family and love life...hence why divorce is so high.

#5: Girls don’t like guys who whine, are insecure and bitter (I guess you don’t like anyone!).....YET they like drunks, partiers, controlling guys, tough guys, criminals, poor useless guys (as long as he’s hot, you'll date anyone lol). Have you ever asked yourself why some people are so bitter and insecure? If you kept being rejected and overlooked for something stupid like your height, size of your chest, etc...you would be insecure and bitter. The reason jerks don’t whine is because they have no reason to! They're jerks, and STILL get girls.

#6: If a girl hurts a guy, most guys would walk away immediately and never look back. Girls should do the same. The Jerk is concerned with impressing the girl so he can GET her, whereas The Nice Guy is concerned with making her smile so he can KEEP her.

#7: Stop being superficial! Be realistic. Many of you aren’t in love, you're in love with the THOUGHT of being in love. You're not in love with your boyfriend, you're in love with the WORD "boyfriend".

#8: If you want to understand true love, watch your grandparents who've been married forever. If they could last through ups and downs, why cant we? Because people expect too much and are superficial. Maybe that’s why you're still single? I blame the media for people being superficial and shallow, but people are dumb enough to listen to the media. Everyone has flaws, imperfections, baggage, but according to the media, we're supposed to be perfect (and look perfect). Movies/soap operas aren’t reality ladies.

#9: To girls it’s all about looks. Guys don’t care for looks, they care for SEX. All a girl has to do to get a guy is spread her legs. The easiest way for a guy to get a girl/sex (all guys know this) is to be hot, make her laugh, tell her what she wants to hear, word for word, and NOT be yourself lol. Sadly, girls will believe anything a hot guy tells them. And many girls make a huge deal over humor. You can’t expect a guy to make you laugh all day, everyday. You gotta be serious about some things, and have meaningful conversations.

#10: Looks fade, we all know someone in high school who was ass ugly, and 10 years later is now a model. And you shouldn’t demand a guy be any taller than you (girls care way too much for height). Also, the more you bond with someone, the more attractive they become. Attraction is important, just not to where you're seeking a model, but intimacy is MORE important. When you're 80, you won’t be attractive, but you'll still be intimate!

#11: Nice guys aren’t 'boring', nice guys just know how to enjoy life without being stupid. If you think nice guys are boring, you will think husbands/marriages are boring. Jerks get girlfriends, nice guys get wives, you're gonna want those overly nice guys when you get older. Who's gonna make a better husband and father? The nice guy, or the hot tattoo'ed drunk who picks fights with everyone? Some girls say they like tough guys because they feel protected. Umm, protected from what? lol.

#12: "True love" and "fun" are two totally different things, so pick one or the other. Of course you can have fun with your lover, but you can’t expect it all day, everyday. Problems WILL arise. If you're in a relationship and have no problems, it’s not healthy. Resolving problems peacefully will bring you closer together. Sadly, it’s usually the women who run away from problems, women DO call for the majority of divorces. I can’t count how many girls I know who dated a guy, and dumped him months/years later because she realized she just wanted to have fun, it’s disgusting. They think love is so easy, then once they experience it, they realize its not, then run off and turn wild.

#13: Sex. Every time a guy mentions sex, the girl runs off. Why?! Sex is the most natural, normal thing alive. The whole world knows that girls are hornier than guys, they just hide it (which is a turn off). The moment you have a boyfriend, you're hornier than a porn star! You wouldn’t LOOK at the other gender if it wasn’t for sex. If you want to wait till you're married, that’s fine (Id wait for the right girl, as long as she'll give oral). Some guys pretend and act like they don’t care for sex (don’t fall for it, all guys care!). So if a guy mentions sex, he’s an honest guy lol.

#14: You want honesty? I LOVE mini skirts and oral sex (and it’s only fair to give back). I’m a legs/ass guy.

#15: Stop being cokteasers! There's no better way to cause a guy to hate you and spread rumors than to start blowing, then stopping. Or to act all dirty, then doing nothing.

#16: This is huge. Girls say they want a "man". Well, men want a "woman". Do you want a "man" who enjoys crying, watching shows about flowers, or loves cheerleading? Probably not. Well same with good men, they want a WOMAN, not a girl who curses like its her job or likes watching a bunch of guys beat each other's faces in (or a girl who does that), or any of that sorta stuff. Some girls say they’re into all that (and drinking) as a way to impress guys, but think...what kind of guys are you impressing? Not good ones! I can’t stress that enough: Good men want a WOMAN

#17: To the good girls: Don’t let party, wild girls make you feel inferior. In 10-15 years, they’ll be the ones looking back wondering where all their "friends" are and why they didn’t think for themselves and use common sense.

#18: People try hard to impress at first, then after they’ve dated for awhile, they could care less to make their partner smile, and that’s dumb. Even 25 years later, you should still be smiling and sending cute texts to each other. Communication is very important. You don’t need to call for hours a day, but sending texts, emails, a short call, voicemail during the day is a good thing.

#19: So you may be thinking "What girl wants to date a guy who talks sh!t about girls?!".....I guess you don’t want ANY guy then, because all guys do it, just not publicly. The more ignorant girls are, the more ass a guy gets. So guys WANT girls to be ignorant.

#20: Every time a guy is honest with you, you call him a jerk (this is why guys CANT be honest). If he does the slightest thing wrong, he’s an a/hole. If he’s nice to you, he’s a pushover. If he doesn’t help you, he’s a jerk. If he says something good about himself, he’s coky. If he says something bad, he’s a pessimist. It’s ok for girls to post skanky pics of themselves, but if a guy posts a pic of his muscles, he’s a jerk.

#21: Girls always have to go out, they can’t stay in (and some of you wonder why you work 60+ hours a week). Ladies, the world isn’t going anywhere! No guy is gonna get in debt and take you out everyday. Stop expecting to be spoiled. And nobody should be looking for another lover until their current relationship is "officially" over (not many people do that, sadly).

#22: Dating isn’t a game, but sadly it’s turning into a game with rules because girls are making it one. If a guy mentions anything about sex, politics, religion, money, government, if he doesn’t pay on the first date (dutch is the best way to go, why pay for someone u may never see again?), doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, talks about his ex, jokes, calls right away....he’s out. That’s dumb. Can we just be ourselves?

#23: A few things girls don’t get about guys: There is no "get to know" phase" for guys, they can tell in the first 5 minutes whether or not they’d date/commit to you. Jumping to conclusions, thinking too much into something, bragging, being open, being a perv, is very normal for a guy (girls are just as guilty). No good guy wants a slut, but all guys want a freak in the bed (making him wait is a turn off). Guys give up easily, so don’t play games, all guys have at least 3 other girls to go after. If you're alone with a guy, all he’s thinking about is how badly he wants to get with you. Most guys aren’t good with making first moves, so ladies, help out (guys love girls who take initiative).

You wanted honesty, so there you have it. Yes I write a lot, part of my job is being a blogger.

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.

Fuckin' Right!!!

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.

oh my god. Pigs are flying! Aflac put $55.00 in my account this morning. AMAZING! Good job, dicks.

...Can I have the rest? I gots bills.

efffffffff, There's a bug on my keyboard!

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:13:44 GMT

Fucking dramatic douchecuntians over in douchecountry trying to rabblerouse.

....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!

Fuck the what, marieamethyst is married now!!!!
Wheee, I'm still going to her ceremony in two weeks. But yeah, wtf, not one but TWO of my friends are married now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHGH. I'M GETTING OLD!

I'm also going to be an aunt in three weeks AND a senior in college.

Note to self: Get senior gala tickets tomorrow. I'm not kidding. GET THEM. You have one more day before the deadline.

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

YAY!

Hahahaha

Mmmf. And he's Latvian.

*gets slapped*

St. Boondockans

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:10:48 GMT

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.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:46:03 GMT

ROOOOOOOOOOMNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!

random's the name, update's the game.

Effing Huckabee, taking votes away from Rommerz!!!
--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.

Scuttle

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 06:41:14 GMT

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 :/
::In excitement for Super Tuesday tomorrow, a Quiz::

Who You Should Vote For

Mitt Romney: 53%
Barack Obama: 47%
Hillary Clinton: 40%
John McCain: 40%
Ron Paul: 33%

I'm going to crawl in a hole and not come out for a week :/

Crayfish

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 08:22:19 GMT

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.

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 06:18:06 GMT

Nnts. Got everything done, and reckoning phase 1 is over. Woochah!!!

I'm watching Saved, and I can't help but adore it. "Jesus is in the hooooouse! Yeah, let's get our christ on. Let's kick it jesus style! You all wanna walk with the ultimate rebel? Right? The ultimate CEO? The biggest celebrity of them all? Who's down with the G-O-D?"

*dies*

I can't help myself.

Marcus - Something Franklin would like to know more about.

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:02:15 GMT

Tomorrow is a happy day of reckoning--not those other proverbial nasty days of reckoning. I do use the phrase a lot. However, tomorrow's reckoning is jolly! I get my hair dyed, get my monroe piercing, and get to move back into my old place. And the fish are coming with me!

Last night I stayed over at the_8th_square's to galavant, make cookies, watch squee-worthy media, and wreak verbal havoc on each other. All in all it was a success :P Tons of fun giggling about old times, dissing people we don't like, animated discussion of Babylon 5 sexual references, pizza and cheeseystick wonderland, DARK CITY OMGZ and my [apparently] boyfriend known as Rufus Sewell, and other similarly enjoyable things. Sadly, her kitties were not present for the festivities. I think you were right, your mom does love me. It's so strange. WHY?! I'm eeeeevil!
BTW, I took a nap to get over the nausea of a migraine from THIS ASS HOLE THAT SMOKED LIKE SIX CIGARETTES IN FRONT OF ME. It ruined my whole morning; I was so freaking ill. Thought my head was going to crack. I hate people that smoke. Really, they think it's their privilege and doesn't bother anyone. Bull shit. Anyway, I was uber late to Morby's house because I wanted to feel peppy and healthy before I went. I can add "throwing up at a Red Lobster" to my list of life's achievements.

I took a nap with my own kitties tonight downstairs, trying to snuggle enough to last me the three months away from them. Grr. I wish I could bring them to school, but I'd have allergy migraines all the time and the house would smell like litter. So, farewell kitties! I'll be back!

eeeeeee!

rants aplenty

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:18:49 GMT

I got a call from my pregnant sister-in-law in the middle of Law & Order. She had a wobbly sick voice and informed me that she'd been in the ER all day and had just recently gotten home. Brian's wiped out from 36 of ER and work and no sleep, and she asked if I could come over and bring her some jello. Needless to say, I was over there in a dash. I assumed it was baby related, but turns out that every thing's fine and she just has an uncomfortable virus that is making her incredibly nauseous. Phew. Anyway, I'll have to stop by tomorrow morning before the bank to pay a house call and be a good samaritan, because it would be lame of me not to.

Big apology to the_8th_square for my flip-flopping about dates. There hasn't been a bigger flip-flopper since Hilary Clinton.
--buh-zing--
Anyway, I've settled on the 11th, as my text indicated. AND I WILL BE THERE! DEVIL BE WARNED IF HE TRIES TO GET IN MY WAY! I'm sick of my holiday schedule slapping me in the face. It shouldn't be this difficult to go to a few jobs and visit friends during a whole month of vacation. Ridiculous.

In amusing news, I slept until 5:30pm tonight. I'm too nocturnal for my own good. Granted, I stay up most nights at college, too, but then I get up at 11am! Not 5pm.... Speaking of school, I can't wait to get back. Mmmmmm, sweet college comforts and constant social life, constant paychecks, the occasionally rewarding online shopping, the evenings of relaxation.... I am wild to be back.

Pride & Prejudice (the 5 hour one nnts nnts nnts) has been on my dvd player for a couple days now. I can rewatch that thing over and over again. And surprisingly enough to fellow fanatics, I've never seen the Colin Firth one (also full length). I own the five hour original 80's BBC with David Rintoul, and I own the semi-overdone short version with Keira Knightly. But no A&E/BBC crossover with Colin Firth. I really should borrow that from someone sometime *glares at ibquincy hint hint*

what dreams may come in my uncomfortable bed tonight. I want a waterbed. mmmm, comfy....

I just spent the last four hours surfing through foto_decadent and drooling over shoes, make up, and clothing fashion. I'm reminded how very typical a person I am every once in a while--it's true. But I don't mind. One can only maintain distinctiveness and peculiarity for so many hours of the day before it weights too tiresome on one's back. I don't mind being generic at 4 in the morning by myself on the internet, and I can admit as much.

[note to self for Jan 13]: spend iTunes giftcard on Delain and Katra mp3s.

This car mischief is ruining my schedule. I've had to cancel and rearrange so many things and people I feel like a god playing chess. I don't want people to hate me. Come on, car place. Come on, family. Cooperate, pleeeeease? I don't want to let people down who are counting on me to show up places.

TNT channel, give me Law & Order! It's 8am and I'm awake. So put it on!!! You're the Law & Order channel. It's why you exist. I demand obedience.

Law and Order is my bitch lover

It's official. I'm addicted to two new shows. Well, the shows themselves are not new, but they are newly added to my love list:
1) Law & Order
2) Sex And The City

Consequently, both shows feature Chris Noth, who is a smexy actor of amazing charm. He's not in my favorite Law & Order seasons :( It's unfortunate that he was the only character I liked from the original seasons' casts. My favorite duos of L&O are Brisco-Greene and McCoy-Serena. Although if Chris Noth wanted to sneak in there one episode and make a Chris Noth sandwich, I wouldn't be opposed. In fact, I saw Chris Noth recently in some terrible chick flick on television called "The Perfect Man", which starred Hilary Duff. It was painful to watch, but Chris' dominating presence made it worthwhile. And, though it guilts me to say it, I really liked Hilary's hairstyle, so it wasn't a total loss for her either.

Chris Noth is going to be in the Sex & The City movie this yeeeeeeear. Woot. He's getting old and chubby these days, though. We'll see.

[edit] And while we're on the topic of squee-worthy media, I'm on apple.com/quicktime watching trailers, as I am wont to do now and then, picking things I want to see. Here's the list so far:
-Sweeny Todd
-The Other Boleyn Girl (omg, Henry VIII as a sympathetic character!? Who'd have thought it?)
-Made Of Honor (aaaadorable)
-Sex And The City The Movie
-Purple Violets (I love good quality chick flicks, and this looks like one)
-Saawariya (visually stunning)
-Valkyrie (Hitler and Tom Cruise. Who'd have thought?)

Best compliment received ever.

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if Gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

10. Children can never suceed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or longer lifespans.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "seperate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Seperate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as seperate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
