So my exes are gay...

09.28.03

I used to think my ex Don was gay. However, I have recently discovered that he is now a father. The odd thing is that, at age 22, he doesn't have a "real" job (I believe he's still trying to be a cop after he went through a 2 year college program for cops), doesn't have a house, and he's not married, but he and his girlfriend planned this baby. I'm absolutely flabbergasted and don't get it. I guess it's a good thing he and I aren't still dating, because his friend who gave me this information said Don wanted to "grow up." He woulda been SOL trying to "grow up" with me.

However, no need to fret, I still have a gay ex, it seems, from this AIM conversation:

Joseph: i want dressed up in pink and purple

And later...

Joseph: i bought some neutrogena moisturizer for my face
Joseph: it has a medium tint and spf30 :)
SlayTPG1: Medium tint...?! You're wearing foundation??
Joseph: no ... its ummm ..
Joseph: healthy defence daily moisturizer
Joseph: its "new"
SlayTPG1: It has TINT in it!
SlayTPG1: That's makeup!
Joseph: yes
Joseph: its "sheer hint of color for an instant healtthy glow"
SlayTPG1: ..........

I love sales

09.26.03

I just had the best shopping day EVER. Express was having a huge sale, and I got two miniskirts (one is stretchy grey and one is black with grey pinstripes and three buckles across the waist), a pair of pink courderoy pants, and two shirts for less than $80. The pants alone were originally $60, I feel very thrifty. I then bought two pairs of shoes for less than $60, and the best part is, one is a pair of PINK BOOTS. I'm absolutely ecstatic.

I still need to assess my sweater collection and see if anything needs to be taken to the thrift store and decide what I need to add to it this season. Unfortunately, said sweater collection is two hours away at home, and I am at school where it suddenly got COLD. I asked Mom to look through my drawers and send a few things, especially zip-up things, although I'm not entirely sure if I have any zip-up sweaters. There was a navy button-up one at American Eagle that I fell in love with, but I'm waiting to find out if Amy gets the job there so that she can buy it for me with her discount.

I am such a clothes and shoes whore.

Supreme bitch

09.23.03

One of my sorority sisters, Kara, is in my sex class with me. Today she comes in after I do and starts to sit down next to me. She notices that the girl on the other side of her has her arm kinda leaning on the desk, so she asks if the girl was saving the seat. The girl sneers at her and goes, "I guess not." Kara looks at her for a second, quite taken aback, and says, "Well, I can move if you want me to, it's no big deal." The snot won't even look Kara in the eye, she just looks up at the ceiling and starts shaking her head and says, "No, whatever, just sit there."

The seat on the other side of the snot was empty too, and no one ever came to sit with her. Bwahahaha, can't imagine anyone would WANT to sit with the bitch.

But really, what provokes someone to act like that? Why be stupidly rude right away? I wanted to slap her.

Emmys suck

09.22.03

May I ask why Everyone Loves Raymond won best comedy during the Emmy's tonight when Sex and the City and Will & Grace...didn't? I don't understand it. That stupid Raymond show puts me to sleep every time I turn it on, while SaTC and W&G continue to be fresh, hilarious, and innovative.

And then there's my whole issue with Buffy failing to snag any nods at all even though it was in its last season. The Emmys missed seven whole years that they could have acknowledged the show with a shiny statue, and all they ever did was sneak it technical awards during the unbroadcasted part of the ceremony. Oh well, everyone who's NOT someone involved in the Emmy nomination process knows it transcends most television programming out there.

On another note, next time I go to Tim Horton's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell (Toxic Hell) in one night, please stop me. Unless we get to harass the drive through people for giving us nacho cheese but no nacho chips. That's fun.

Dr. King is a hoot

09.16.03

The professor for my criminal justice class that deals with analysis of the police cracks me up. He was discussing the "Asshole Theory of Human Behavior" today, which is when your explanation for everything is simply chalking it up to someone being an asshole. Guy cut you off in his car? It's because he's an asshole. Someone does something stupid? It's because he's an asshole. Girl looks at you weird? Asshole.

As Dr. King pointed out after saying the word "asshole" about 20 times, this is a very bad way of explaining human behavior, and the person calling everyone else an asshole is usually the one who's the asshole.

Later on, he was telling us this story of a friend of his who is a cop in England. The cop had a problem with this homeless guy sleeping by their headquarters every day, and the chief would get pissed off at the cop for not being able to handle it. Apparently when it gets cold out, homeless people will stuff their clothes with newspapers or leaves to keep warm. This, however, makes them very flammable. So one night this cop and another cop see the homeless guy and are like, "Oh shit, the chief is gonna see him and get pissed at us, what can we do?" So they took some clothes and stuffed them with newspaper and set it down by the homeless guy. They wake the homeless guy up and pretend to wake up the dummy and start yelling at both of them. One of the cops takes out his lighter and sets the dummy on fire. The homeless guy took off and never came back.

And people say cops are dumb. :D

Lauren is a genius

09.14.03

My girl Lauren is a genius. Want to get someone to do what you want them to do when they're fighting you about it?

Simply say, "Fine then, DON'T [enter activity here]." Be a little snooty about it. They'll immediately want to defy you so they'll do exactly what you were trying to get them to do in the first place.

The same works with getting someone to NOT do something.

"Fine then, HAVE your party the night before your exam."

This generally only works with morons, but chances are only morons will be arguing with you over stupid things.

Radical feminists suck

09.11.03

Today in my vampire lit class, I came to the conclusion that I think English majors are just plain weird. The discussions that we have in the class are interesting, and they're a nice break from my criminal justice classes, but I don't really get what English majors get out of college that they can take into the real world. Sure, some people take an English major to law school, and some become English teachers (which seems like a vicious cycle to me), but I don't feel like they could possibly take anything tangible out of their studies. You don't learn any FACTS, it's all discussion and theory. The same goes for philosophy majors.

Plus there are all these radical feminists in my English class, and I want to smack them up over the side of their heads. We were discussing rape today (apparently violent sex is an important topic when discussing vampries) and the prof was asking questions for us to discuss, and I kept bringing up facts that I knew from c.j. classes about actual court cases and statistics, and the feminists kept denying that what I was saying was true because "a woman would NEVER let something like that happen to her."

Organizations here on campus chalk advertisements on the sidewalks for their meetings, and one said, "Hate liberals? We do. Come to the Campus Republicans meeting." There was a huge flurry of activity in the editorial section of the newspaper the next day putting the Campus Republicans down for that, but all I could do was laugh.

General feelings of blahness

09.10.03

I decided to sleep in today and skip my first class, but when I woke up and checked my email, I found out that the class was cancelled anyways. So much for trying to be rebellious. It's the middle of the third week of school, and my attendance record is still 100%. Quite a far cry from any semester before...

What is up with CD release dates being pushed back? I was excitedly waiting for today for Dido's new CD to come out, only to find out that it's now scheduled for September 30th. I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I am.

Kylie Minogue's next CD is slated for a November 17 release...only The Powers That Be know if that's the UK release date or if the USA is included in there. I can very much so see the US receiving the CD at a later date with a modified (read: crappified) track listing. (An example of that would be the removal of Hot Fudge from Robbie's Escapology...why would you remove a song whose chorus talks about "moving to L.A." from the CD for the country that L.A. actually resides in??)

My mood lately has been a general feeling of blahness, especially after the past weekend that was beyond draining because of sorority recruitment (where we are required to bounce and cheer and scream like cheerleaders on speed -- and I DO NOT BOUNCE). Not only do I feel like I can never get enough sleep to make up for about 8 hours of sleep Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night combined, but I'm also set back in my homework and reading now and feel like I'll have to labor away for the next week without any moments of self-pleasuring (ie - reading fun books and playing video games, you sickos) in order to get it finished.

Plus, there's just something...missing. I'm not sure what it is, but it's left me feeling discontented lately.

I'm sooo blind

09.04.03

I still can't get over how bad my eyesight has gotten. I've been wearing my glasses nearly every waking moment and it's making me wonder if I should get contacts. The last time I tried contacts, I couldn't get them in my eyes. I tried for months to no avail. The strange thing is, I have no problem sticking my finger in my eye and touching my eyeball. It's depositing a plastic sheet onto my eye that seems to bother me.

Matt sent me an interesting link and asked for credit for it if I mentioned it here; giving him all the credit is just fine because I certainly don't want people thinking that I sit around looking for this stuff. Raunchy rocks...or something like that. What I want to know is A) who goes out looking for this stuff to take pictures of, and B) who pays $60 for one of these pictures to hang in their living room? I pity those peoples' kids.
