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.

Seeking Information
Ok, I'm going to admit it. I am the utterly least knowledgeable woman on the planet when it comes to "girly" stuff. I still don't know how to properly apply makeup (I stare at actresses on tv and look at their eye make up and think I wish I could achieve a look like that but it never works out anywhere close); I don't know how to do anything with my hair or know anything about products (most people have some consistancy with their hair right? Most women don't pull it back 24/7 because they can't make it look decent); I don't know what face care stuff to use (how do you get rid of huge pores and blackheads? You must be able to some how but ten years of random items ain't finding it) and I've never had any kind of manicure (most women don't have the disgusting constant dead skin issue around their nails like I do or they know how to deal with it better then I do), pedicure, waxing (ouch!), tweezing (though I pluck my own eyebrows mostly successfully) or whatever else type beauty salon things that are the stereotype of girl's days out. (I have been to a spa once a few years ago as a birthday gift and I didn't know anything. Wraps? Um, ok. Facial? Er, sure. What am I supposed to do?) Anyway, like I said, I muddle through but most of this stuff is over my head. I don't have any female friends around and haven't for a lot of years so I missed out on all that kind of thing. My sister is 11 years older then I am and moved out when I was eight. Hence the utter lack of knowledge. But something's been bugging me. (Just one thing?) My feet are these nasty, dried out, gross and calloused things lately. Ok, not just lately, but it's gotten worse and I can't take it anymore. The water here is horrific and it kills my skin. Anyway, my poor feet have been taking the brunt of it for awhile now. And dammit, I want to do something about it. So I think I need a pedicure. But this is daunting. Hence the cry for help. Does it matter much where you go or is one place mostly as good as another? I don't have a salon I go to or anything, but there's one right up the road. They offer a pedicure for $20 or a "deluxe" pedicure for $30. Any clue what the difference should be? Is this a reasonable price? They have a 20% discount for first-time customers too. Seems fair to me, but what do I know? How long does a pedicure take? What do I need to know about it? Do I need to do/bring/request anything specific? And tipping. Is it like a 20% type thing? (See, I had no idea that you were supposed to tip when I went to the spa. I had a gift certificate for the day and didn't bring cash. I felt like a total loser since it never dawned on me you'd tip for an all-inclusive day.) And, I guess, most important, is it worth it? I've tried to soften my feet and work on some of the ugly dry, callousy patches on my own but jeez, it's just not very productive. Not to mention, I can't paint my toes - or my fingers for that matter - to save my life. Will a pedicure help soften up these dried out feet of mine? Jeez. Ok, I know. Everyone suddenly is probably looking at me like I have two heads. This is pretty simple stuff and a 29 year old woman should know all this but, well...I don't. Any info appreciated.
