WebEditor: So you'll have those three pages ready by the weekend?

Me: You mean those three pages of layouts for you to look over?

WebEditor: Layouts? I'm meeting the sponsors on Sunday - I need the finished pages,
don't you remember?

Me: Remember? You never even mentioned this. I'm still waiting to get the
the go ahead on these layouts! When exactly did you give me this
deadline?

WebEditor: …

Me: (*CURSE THEE WEBEDITOR OF EVIL! MAY THE PLAGUES OF THE PHAROAHS
REIGN DOWN UPON THY HOUSEHOLD FOR A THOUSAND MILLENIA!*)

Ok, I'm on it.

Well it's not that. It's the fact that she lied. At least, I'm sure she lied. Unless this thing is flawed. It's just the point though.
I understand that. I used to know someone who would lie about all kinds of really simple things, and it wasn't the content of the lies that drove me up the wall- it's that he was lying at all. I would have been fine with whatever he was lying about, not even stuff worth making up lies for most of the time- but the idea that no matter what I did, he thought he needed to be untruthful… that just pissed me off to no end. (The fact I could unfailingly tell when he lied was no deterrent, apparently.) I don't associate with him any more though. :]

Ach, my best friend does exactly that. Well, not so much outright lies as she ridiculously overexaggerates EVERYTHING. It drives me crazy but I honestly couldn't ask for a better friend and she's really fun so…I can put up with it. She mostly does it to other people anyways. I think it's an attention-getting thing…I noticed that when I started spending more time with another friend of mine she started lying/exaggerating to me more often.

Also, I'm in a horrible mood today for no real reason.
I even yelled at a stranger. :( A car was stopped right where I needed to cross the street(I had the right of way, btw) so I was like "What the hell! You don't stop in the middle of a f***ing intersection!" Then I realized the driver had her window open and I felt kind of bad. I was just taking out my frustrations or whatever.
My friend who makes me feel better and relates to me all the time is spending as little time as possible on the computer for lent, so I'll have to talk to him in person. Now just how am I supposed to hole up in my room and do that? :(

"What the hell! You don't stop in the middle of a f***ing intersection!"

Ha. Welcome to my world: the world of yelling belligerently at anyone who comes within 20 feet of me. >:)

Naw, but for serious: don't feel bad. People should learn how to drive.

Yeah, but it doesn't pick up on grammar, idioms, nuance, words that might translate literally, but have a different connotations in Spanish (like "to know", as in a person vs. "to know", as in a fact). It's good for quick translations of phrases or blocks of text, where you only need to get the gist of something; but not for translating something you've written into a form meant to be read by native speakers.

Pues es una pena, el dibujo mejora una bestialidad en este segundo capÃtulo.

It is a shame, the picture will improve in the second chapter bestiality.

I was going to make a donkey show joke but what's the point. Thanks for the link Ryu :]

edit: bestialidad really does mean bestiality 0.o and other things. i thought the translator was messing with me like horrible babel fish lol! I'm guessing the meant context was stupidity or roughness

Maybe someone can give me a second opinion on this, because I'm not sure if I'm in right.

One of the freshman girls left her ipod lying out in the commons of my apartments when she left at the end of the night. I picked it up and took it into my apartment and left it on my roommate's desk with a note to return it to her since I knew they had a class together the next day. I left her a message on her phone telling her that he had it and to get it from him. At some point over that night, the ipod went missing and is nowhere to be found in my apartment. Now, she wants me to pay for half of a replacement ipod.

Personally, I don't feel responsible and obligated to pay for it, since the thing was lost after it left my possession. On top of that, I don't think it's really my problem since it would have been gone the next morning anyway had I not put it on my roommate's desk, so either way she would have lost it. Am I being unreasonable in thinking it's not my responsibility to pay for something she lost?

Posted at 9:03PM, Mar. 17, 2009

No, she's an idiot. You went out of your way to help her, now she's penalising you for it. That's just plain mean. She's being really quite rude in demanding money, that borders on outright offensive considering what you tried to do. Tell her so. >_<

Unless she's hot and you have spare cash…? In that case, buy her a new one! :)

Agreed. She's just a brat who wants someone to blame or to be accountable for her own mistake; because someone else's hands touched it after she lost it, and she has knowledge of this, she can transfer the blame onto you, instead of feeling responsible for her own carelessness. Tell her that, too.

Every time I shave, I swear to myself that I'll start doing it more often so that I stop losing all of my blood in the process. But I never, ever do.

It's been an hour, and it still feels like my face is on fire.

I didn't realise your current avi was so representational… That's a close shave. Man, you need a blunter razor. It hurts a lot more, but doesn't cut you.

But then how would I ensure that my face is as smooth and sexy as it can be?

Vigorous scraping.

Either that or draw eyes on your bottom.

Works for me :)

Nah, my bottom is the second hairiest part of me. I'm not all androgynous like you.

I shave twice a week and can grow a beard in two weeks. So I rip the skin off my chin and slice up that stupid Kirk Douglas dimple in my chin that only shows up when I shave. Take the pain. If I shaved everyday the pain would be a lot less, but I don't have anyplace to go or anyone to impress so I don't bother.

I'm thankful I can grow a noticable beard as opposed to my brother's blonde fuzz on his upper lip and chin that looks like a teenager at the age of 50.

What are you shaving with for gods sake - bic razor and canned foam?

I had a fancy electrical one, but I lost it.

Fancy electrical ones can cause lots of irritation when the heads start to wear down. Cheap razors are pretty bad too. I tried everything and always suffered the same problems until I turned my back on the modern world and switched to old fashioned shaving brush and razor blades (the brush is helps a lot).

Works out cheaper in the long run too.

Heeeeeyyy, I have legs like a satyr!

razor blades

Cut throat? Or those old style razor thingos? Either way they're scary o_o

Custard, did you forget… this?

ALSO YOUR PACKAGE IS SHIPPED VERY DISCREETLY.

Yeah right, you're not fooling anyone. I bet your legs are absolutely frictionless.

I don't trust that stuff.

My brother used some that, and he lost all of his body hair as well. It wouldn't have been so bad, but he lives on Pluto so he froze to death.

Have you tried shaving after/in the shower? Also never ever use a blunt razor those are the ones that leave scraps and cuts :/ it's a weirdo misunderstanding that sharp ones do it, it's the opposite.
If your skin is that sensitive pick up a girl's one(those fathead pink ones w/ 3 blades), they swerve and have more gliding/padding.

I just got Ron's script today, just fucking amazing, the dialog is addictive and his hooks are spot on- really this guy is going to go pro without a doubt, man this is good stuff :]

I dunno Skull… The old blunt razors I use for a year at a time never cut. They just yank out the hairs they fail to shave off but really aren't sharp enough to scrape skin. They hurt, but no blood.

The sharp ones shave nicely. But do leave cuts and nicks. And do shave right down to the skin. But it depends on the angle you hold them.

Yeah right, you're not fooling anyone. I bet your legs are absolutely frictionless.

you are SO hot for me!

The latest of my sisters DVD stash I just watched was the Bourne Ultimatum. Lots of shaky camera work etc. Looked like it was shot for TV. It was acceptable- not very cleverly done though and the whole "operations room" fad got boring after it first started appearing in those Harrison Ford spy movies. Plus I thought the conspiracy thing was done far more interestingly in the first Bourne film adaption back in the 80's with Richard Chamberlain. Finally, Mat Damon has a tiny snub nose and features that make him look like some perpetual 15 year old.It's very disconcerting. He must be in his late 30's now for goodness sake!

But on the bright side it helped me focus my brain enough to do a crapload of colouring!

Jesus Christ, someone has just spent the last hour shrieking. Just. . . shrieking. Over and over and over again, for no reason. What the fuck? What the fuck is wrong with people that they think it's OK to do that?

- - - - -

Oh dear god no.

Well, maybe a little bi- no. I need to wash my brain with bleach now.
