Five ways I tend to feel after speaking with Sprint’s Customer Service (by Merlin Mann) from 5ives.com

January 9th, 2004

1. Like I was just traded to another inmate for 2 packs of menthol cigarettes
2. Like I’ve been slapped repeatedly with a half-frozen sturgeon
3. Like I’ve accidentally just agreed to finish the homework of every kid in my middle school
4. Like somewhere in a big Sprint building, there’s a fat man with a monocle and a top hat smoking a cigar while dancing a jig and holding a fat bag of five-dollar bills with my bewildered face on it
5. Very, very unclean

countdown for my cruise

Read and post cruise reviews

wooooow....

i haven't actually...POSTED posted in a long time
and what's more amazing? i've actually got a readership, i believe. no actual comments that aren't from ads, but still.
google analytics is my loverr when it comes to blogs
because there isn't much of a chance i'll ever have a flesh and blood one.
anyway, although my life is currently la sabor de soledad (did you SEE that 30 rock episode?! <3 tina fey!)...idk.
this blog is currently devolving into some shit from myspace, so i'll write again later.
"blogs and kisses!"

read and repost

From Venus Envy, via Will Schneider, via Tamar Godel...

I am...

I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech
and got a standing ovation for his courage.

I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at
those who glare.

We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer
and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.

We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray
and are just too dangerous to gay bash.

I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and
demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face
in front of the entire restaurant -- and shares with my other trans
friends which restaurants don't raise a stink.

I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her
girlfriend over for dinner.

I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is
the definition of a true follower of God.

I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until
high school but never thought to question why two men might be
kissing.

I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the
bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise
children.

We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our
teacher, that love should be all that matters.

I am the legislator who, in spite of letters running 10:1 against it,
voted in favor of a measure that would legalize same-sex marriage,
because it was the right thing to do.

If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You
can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win.

This comes from Venusenvy. Please pass it on, and help the bravery of those who will stand up for themselves make a difference

This is...interesting...

Huh...weird advertisement for GEICO...

I wish they were still using the gecko. I hate hate hate the cavemen. And (oh my god) it's now a sitcom. America's most hated characters are not primetime darlings. And to milk the last couple drops of cash out of the terrible travesty of a concept, they've resorted to those tacky ads driven by biplanes. Ugh...I need to stop opening my eyes.

More tests--Stupidity and Death Age

I am 0% stupid and will die at 85. Pretty good! Much more than I think of myself, a lot of the time, especially according to my grades (96%...ugh).

Cybiko and COMPUTER GOD!

Well, I've recovered from exams after a sedentary period, moving into French, Honors Science, and Gifted English, which is more like video production with some grammar thrown in to merit the title. I am attempting to crack open my beloved, late Cybiko, a mid-to-late 90's "hip" internet device that had space for apps, pics, videos, even MP3 and wireless voice through a mic, and an easy dev process. Mine isn't "broken", per se, it's just the charger port assemblage has fallen into bent pieces of metal and plastic inside the cool, sleek, curved, clear casing. I just can't charge it. It was cool while it lasted, but the company went out of business and doesn't exist anymore. I recommend getting one on eBay for under 20 bucks. They are incredible, even now. Even WAP browsing and wireless messaging! It even matched proximate users based on likes and dislikes and vibrated in your pocket if another user came into range (which didn't happen much). I'm trying to fix it just as much as I'm trying to learn Ruby and C right now, which is hard for a 14-year-old...ugh. Anyway, I did a "nerd test" and got a 100, according to its (obviously faulty) results and the image/link below. Well, I am fluent in 4 programming languages (CSS, XHTML, HTML, LOGO) and know the basics of many more (ActionScript [pretty good], BASIC, etc...). Mostly web stuff. I checked out Yahoo! Pipes a couple days ago. It's pretty cool what it can do. It's pretty easy to learn. I'd say it was about 25 minutes before it made sense. It manipulates and combines RSS and XML feeds based in user input, automation, and/or programmer input. It uses an AJAX interface, with a cool "pipes" system to connect parts of each "module" to others, like for input and stuff like that. Below is the image, which links to the test. Talk L8R! Bye! :D

UGHHHHH....

Finals again!!!!!!! I hate them. Don't you? This holiday season was terrible. I hate being Jewish at Christmas. On another note, I know my post-hysterectomy mother has a penchant for inaccuracies and gruesomeness, but this call she's having right now takes the cake. I want cake. Anyway, she's saying all these silly, ridiculous, irrelevant things that are either stomach-turningly disgusting, stupid, ridiculously irrelevant to the subject, or inaccurate. We DON'T have metal detectors, I wasn't "saved" by a
"teacher", I applied to both AFS and Shipley, private schools don't have well-informed parents (for the part entree) who are wealthy, I am not the only Jewish 8th grader at my school, and my mother is not sane. And of course, Jewish people aren't more informed. Ugh. My mother needs a good mouth-taping. And of course, spaghetti isn't the food of the poor, whereas food like soup is the meal of the bourgeoise. What a stupid stream of babbling! See you people later! :P

Speed Talking

In this version, I recite the books of the Bible (Old and New Testaments) the Book of Mormon, the 50 US States, the alphabet backwards, the United States Presidents and the Academy Award Best Picture winners.
