Eleven Deadly LJ Sins

Shamelessly robbed from blueskywonder and shrijani

---

1. Auditions ("I'm going to drop you as a friend unless you comment right now.") ~~ No. I usually drop people who don't post in their own journals for an ungodly amount of time. I feel that deleting someone 'cos they don't comment in your journal is just a wee bit self-centred and needy. But that's just me.


2. Bad grammar/spelling (either accidentally or via l33tsp3@k) ~~ I try to be as grammatically correct as possible and I don't know from this l33t crap, although I have been known to use "w00t" which I think falls into that category.


3. Constant PayPal/eBay whoring ("If only someone were to make a donation!") ~~ I did this for the first time last night because my veterinarian owns my arse.


4. Cryptic posts ("Oh, my, who knew that would happen?") ~~ This one pisses me off more than I can say. I unfriended someone because that's basically all she ever did was make cryptic posts. I try not to do this, although I have a wee handful of times in the past, thus pissing myself off at myself.


5. Eeyoring ("Today I will post the seventieth entry in Why My Life Sucks...") ~~ I think I kinda do this, but more in the form of bitching than moaning; however, I have a very clear disclaimer in my user info that I tend to bitch a lot, so it's not like I didn't warn people.


6. Long, uncut posts/images. ~~ I've been known not to cut on long posts before, but I always cut for images.


7. Repeated deletions/goodbyes ~~ Never have I done this. Don't intend to. My journal has been relatively drama-free since I've been here and I hope to keep it that way.


8. Quiz overload/Significant other lust ~~ I try to save up all my quizzes and post them all at once on Friday mornings so as not to clutter up people's friends pages. I also use the handy-dandy LJ cut for this. Ain't I polite? As far as SO lust, I can't say that I do that, no.


9. Song lyric posts (especially those not LJ-cut) ~~ Mea Culpa on very few occasions, but I usually use a cut.


10. Totalitarianism ("If you disagree with me in any way, you are a troll.") ~~ Nah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Only if you personally attack me will I screen your comments but, so far, most of the folks I've encountered here are too intelligent to engage in such immature behaviour.


11. Updating once a month or less ::falls over in fits of laughter:: BAAAAAHAHAHAH!! Yeah....right.....

Sailing to the stars

I really hope this works.

The world's first solar sail spacecraft takes flight on Tuesday, launched by space enthusiasts who cobbled the privately funded mission together on $4 million and an untested theory that light can power limitless space exploration.

:-/ Smidgen Oh No!

Smidgen is sick. Sick sick sick.
She's sneezing her head off.

I must get her medicine.

Listen you pricks, I just wanted my medicine.

I ran out of medicine for me and the doctor's nurse called to tell me that she'd called it in for me this morning around 9:30. I figured by lunchtime, it'd be filled. No, there was no record of a medicine being called in, the girl told me; however, they hadn't checked their messages either. I asked if I could call back in five minutes, after they checked the messages, to confirm I could come on to pick up the medicine ('cos I really didn't want to have to go anywhere but home after work, being womanly and all). She said sure. I gave 'em 10 minutes as I dithered about downtown Duncan. When I called back, the girl said, "Sorry, they haven't checked the messages yet," and she laughed. She fucking laughed. Exasperated, I told her I'd be by after work and she apologised. Too little too late, you piss ant from hell.

Eckerd used to be really good about prescriptions and everything else. I'm seriously considering Walgreens now. Aren't they based in a town called Perfect?

Bleh.

...meep

THE MOST FRIGHTENING POST OF ALL TIME

Thoughts on songs/bands

As it storms outside, precluding my mowing the grass yet again today, I'm listening more closely to the radio to hear if any majorly dangerous weather is heading in our direction. So far, no. The only dangerous things heading our way is the crap they're playing on the radio.

Sorry piperdawn, but Nickelback makes me want to stick my head in a microwave oven and turn it on thaw (slow death, lots of minimal deep pops).

MercyMe are obviously not Baptists. They say in their sappy/crappy love song to Jesus, "I Can Only Imagine," Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Baptists don't dance.....even for Jesus. I bet if Jesus had a gun and cowboy hat, and said, "dance for me, you damned outlaws!" the Baptists would dance then. They'd be hoofin' it like the people in Riverdance. Verily, they would have feets o'flame!

Eminem needs to be drug face-down on a rope behind a race horse for a couple of hours. Most of his songs sound like carnival tunes from Hell. Did you know that Anton LaVey said that carnival music was the Devil's choice of music? He probably said that because he was a carnival organist but that does make one wonder about some of Nino Rota's scores...as well as Danny Elfman's music. Still though, theirs is mature Satanic music compared to Eminem's kiddie deviltry. Rope, horse, face. 'Nuff said.

Strange how religion mixed with music in this post. That was unintentional.

Great Big Thanks and Steam

I'd like to thank everyone who has so far donated to the Kittie Cause. You've no idea how grateful this soul is.

When I go on Thursday to pick up Aloysius and Biafra, I'll take some pictures of them and post them here.

After having a huge thunderstorm, the sun is now out just in time enough to steam me to death on my way out to the car. I reiterate: Summers in SC suck.
