There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Randomness
Today I borrowed my friend Rand's Jeep and had a ton of errands to run. Like 2.5 hours of non-stop driving from one place to another. Return the overdue library books, hit the post office to return an item I ordered for Full Moon Swaps, drop of a dvd to blockbuster, return something to CVS, pick up my vitamins, return a pair of jeans to JCPenny that didn't fit Love, return the extra cat food to the pet food store since the girls like the new brand instead - oh and then get Rand at the end of the day so he could, you know, get home from work, AND then pick up dinner. Jeez! All afternoon I was running around! And not even the good kind where you lazily stroll and browse in different stores. Nope. The rush in, rush out, get the chores done kind of shopping.  Good news is that it's all done AND that I was able to bring my new-to-me refurbed iPod - who, I might have mentioned, I named this time: Persephone - and she worked like a charm. I listened to her for a few hours yesterday afternoon while cleaning the apartment, did NOT charge it last night and listened to it in the car for another couple hours today. So far, so good. The battery is definitely holding a charge and it's giving me multiple hours of playtime. These are Very Good Things. Now I just need to sell some jewelry! to put the money for the repair back into savings. Actually, I have a few things to update AND I bought some more clay and I'm going to try to make another rune set to possibly add it on the site as another thing to sell. Oh! And, I need to finish up a faerie box I started like two months ago and I'll add that too. So look for some new items really soon on the site - including all-new product offerings! I'm obsessed with this Fossil bag I saw at Macy's a few months ago. Damned thing won't go on sale and there's no way I am willing to spend $118 on it. Bah. Even with a $50 gift card I have for Macy's burning a hole in my wallet, I just can't bring myself to justify spending near $70 on it. Jeez. Even when I did have a job I couldn't justify it. And now that I don't, well, it's really absurdly out of the picture. For some damned reason though, I can't get the damned thing out of my head. It's been like months now too! AND I got a really nice purse that I love from my mom for my birthday. So it's not like I need one or anything. (Yeah for clearance. We found the one she got me - this awesome dark teal leather bag from Liz marked down to $35 a couple months ago and she put it aside for my birthday.) Ever have those stupid obsessions though? Bah and double bah again. Speaking of birthdays, it's funny how before your birthday, people are asking you what you want. And you can't think of things to tell them. So you end up telling people the same things. And then, it seems like everyone ends up all picking one item off the list. Like, I got two copies of Widdershins and a duplicate of the Back to the Future trilogy dvd set. But, for example, despite the fact when asked, I listed gift certificate to The Coconut Hut to everyone, it's one thing that I didn't get - let alone duplicates!  It's just amusing since I've been hitting their website for like a year now and ever since Edo got me a pineapple slices body spray from them last year, I've been drooling over all their yummy scents. I just never can justify spending the cash on getting something for myself. How does that work? Surely that's not just me. You spend month after month thinking one of these days you're going to get yourself something - but then for whatever reason, you just can't convince yourself to click the "place order" button. Even though you'll spend the same amount on something else you don't actually want as much. I don't know why it always seems to happen but it does. At least to me anyway. There are some things I guess I have a hard time justifying the purchase of. Perhaps it seems too frivolous or something. Or maybe it's just harder for me to follow through with buying something online. Even when I know I like it. Even if I would buy it if it were in a store. It's so odd.Anyway, I missed a good photo opprotunity today. Well, maybe not good so much as amusing. There was this big semi pulling out of a parking lot. A commercial transport of some sort. The truck proclaimed that the company was "Yellow." But the signage, logo and details on the truck were all in bright orange. Orange? A big logo that says "Yellow" in orange? Just one of those double-take moments that made me chuckle. *hums* I'm waiting on a book I ordered to arrive for my swap. I keep checking the mail but it's not here yet. I'm just being impatient probably. It was sent the 25th and Monday of course there was no mail. Still though, it's annoying me because I want to make sure it's good so I know I'm done with my swap. Unlike the book I had to return today that was incomplete and did me no good without it's accompanying tea cup. Jeez.  If the NAME of the item says, "Tea Cup, Saucer and Illustrated Book" then um..you know, shouldn't you include said tea cup and saucer? The seller was all, "I didn't know there was supposed to be anything else."  So...I want to make sure this one arrives and is acceptable so I can stop worrying and get on with the knowing my swap it done. I'm quite proud of how it turned out and how I only spent $40ish on it. Which sounds like a lot but considering I was originally thinking I'd need to spend $25 on ONE item, I feel I've done well.Blah! Did I mention the randomness? Damn, this must be boring.  The good news is that I think I've babbled myself out. So I'll close here.Ta.
