How we mistreat the ones we love...

Here's an UPDATE!!! Actually, it's not so much an update as homework / Fierce work avoidance. I mean, that's why I created this really pointless blog in the first place. So what to talk about...

Well first of all, a friendly FACEBOOK update. Today my popularity numbers have skyrocketed to staggering proportions. Currently, 35 people truly consider me a radiant presence in their lives and have honored me by listing my profile along side their other equally important friends. How wonderful to be thought of so highly by those most important in my life - like Kenny from my COM class and my ex-best friend’s ex-boyfriend. I have truly been blessed in this lifetime and fear that in my next lifetime I may not be so lucky to experience such rapture. I'll most likely come back as a hornet or wasp and be trapped in the bedroom of a frightened teen-age girl - doomed to die a lengthy, agonizing and excruciatingly painful death at the hands of heavy perfumes and toxic house-hold cleaners. God - she works in mysterious ways. (Calm down Bennett, you're just going to have to accept the fact that the divine is sick of you referring to her as male!)

On a related note, I've recently dismantled my webpage due to the rants of an uptight republican friend of mine. I won't mention any names Bennett but what I will say is that it is not kind of me to blatantly mock the short-comings of all my close friends...So while I may enjoy pointing out that Bennett is a self-righteous and ostentatious hypocrite, Tagen is a oblivious and narcissistic ass, and Silv is a masochist who enjoys hurting herself, I really don't think it's appropriate and furthermore decent of me to announce these flaws to the world. My loyalty lies with THE CORE. Despite everything I have to deal with, my position as Head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms demands cooperation with the Department of Transportation, The Complaint Department and our Totalitarian Dictator. Any attempt to undermine a member's status is considered an act of TERRORISM and I, though anti-establishment, do not want to be equated with the Taliban. Therefore I shall keep that big round hole in my face closed, stop writing such blasphemy and reserve my insults for really inappropriate moments....such as my impending trip to Pennsylvania.

Hey, if you can't take it, don't be in the family....

Tired

I'm pretty dead tired. And for the most part, think this will probably be my last post on here for awhile. I have way too much stuff going on up here in the Ham and today is going to be one of the lasts days I have down time....even though I really don't have down time today, I have to read a book and write a paper by wednesday.
Anyways I can't wait to be finished with school. It has been a long road and the end seems to always stretch itself a little bit further away. Every time I feel like I'm going to be done, something else comes along to extend my stay.
Best Buy has cut my hours back a lot and money isn't exactly as plentiful as it was before. So that's a bit of a concern. But hopefully that'll be fixed soon.
So anyways, general feeling of nothing much going on and just having to deal with what I have on my plate. Cheers for now. Thanks for reading my posts.

One Ghostbuster, three Stormtroppers, and a Death Star Operator *bewooooooo*

So this weekend I experienced my very first Comic con. For those not in the know, that's convention. Specifically one for comics. It was pretty cool, like being at a very big comic book store. Saw some cool fan movies, like Batman: Dead End and Grayson. Both very cool mock trailers. Also got to get some comics signed by two of my favorites in the buisness: Artist Tim Sale and Writer Brian Michael Bendis.
Bendis currently the god of Marvel comics was polite and very nice, he signed a comic to my brother who didn't come, which was cool.
However Sale stole the show for me. As an off-and-on asipiring comic book creator, specifically comic artist it was just a joy to meet him. Of course I geeked out and didn't know what to say, but getting him to sign my copy of Batman: Dark Victory was awesome. But to add to it Sale drew Two-Face/Harvey Dent next to his sig. I couldn't stop smiling. He also told me to not let anyone tell me I was a Zero. I shall take that to heart, even if it was said due to my hoodie's design. Anyways. Cool experience, can't wait till next year. Cheers

The Face Book...ugh

So I finally broke down and joined trendy-ole' thefacebook.com. For those of you not in the "the know," The Face Book is basically a one-stop shopping arena for creepy stalkers. Look-up basically anyone you want as long as you have the name of the school they attend now or the high school they went to - provided they're insipid and nondiscript enough to join the network. I mean sure, it's ALSO a popularity contest (just to make note, I believe I have around 10 friends at this point), where girls who were popular in high school can rekindle that feeling online with scantily clad photos suggesting they are, in fact, the sluts you always assumed they were. As for the boys (there are no men and women here, this is strickly for the high school through college demographic), well there seems to be a competition going to see who can have the most random photo posting; anything from dressing in drag to live-action stripper flash-photos.

My picture, for those of you who are illustrious members of such a network, is an accurate rendition of myself - taken last year in Bellingham at Casa Que Pasa. Next to me is Ryan McIrvin (one of the first to add me as a friend - thanks buddy!) but I had to cut him out of the picture for fear of him nabbing the spotlight on a pic that is supposed to make those ex-boyfriends from high school jealous. Too bad I only have one ex from my high school and I'm fairly confident there's nothing I could do to make him jealous. (wanna see me? search High school: Jenni Gore under Washington/Seattle/Blanchet)

What other perks does this meme of the day offer (speaking of, when was the last time some one mentioned their iPod to you?)? Surprisingly there are some reasons to join this fad-of-the-month. It can be quite amusing to see what people you would never have given another thought to are doing with their life. Most people don't take the forum too seriously (great example would be a guy I know from UW mentioning that in his spare time he likes to "eat batteries so others don't have to"). It's also a good way to track down people who may not have gone to your high school - provided you know the high school they did attend. I found my roommate's cousin, old friends from Y-camp, and several people from my almost-high-school Snohomish High.

All and all, a perfect way to waste the day and join groups like "1.50 Costco Hot Dogs" and "Cougar Grads Will Eventually Bag My Groceries" (which is true). So join why don't ya? Or not...whatever. Just think of it this way, it's not like you have anything better to do. And the longer you wait, the more you'll be "out of the loop" as they say. I'm glad I follow the trends - helps me blend in. Who wants to be unique anyway??
