I've long wished for a pain-ray or something that I could use to inflict profound discomfort on the pains in my ass. I would abuse the power, though, so it's probably for the best. . . .
I don't understand how people can be so ungrateful and bitter. I know they are, I believe they are, I'm not in denial about it, I just don't get it.
I think if you want to cull your f-list, go for it, or a custom friends filter or two. A combination of both has kept me running sans drama for a while now.
I've still been contemplating another f-list cull, myself, which sucks to have to think about. As it is, I already have my friends page set up to only show about half of my friends; I never read the rest. They're good folks, I just don't have time. I'd like to let them go because I feel bad having them friended and not reading them. But people get SO upset when I do it. It's a status thing for them, I suppose, and I know I don't like being unfriended, but jeez . . . I never know what to do!
The ONE thing that has been cracking me up EVERY time I see it is the guy who puts on the shock collar and demonstrates the levels of pain on America's Funniest Home Videos. Every time it takes him down, I laugh so hard I cry...*giggles*
That's what I've been saying about ungrateful people: I don't GET it. I just don't. If I had posted publicly some of the comments I've received in emails from some people, they'd get so much hate mail. It's SAD. And some of them are pretending to be nicey-nice to others when they're really bitter and mean.
I don't understand all the drama about subbing/unsubbing from people's LJs. If they're REALLY friends in real life, I can see why it would upset. But most of the time...no. I don't think everyone who friended me really reads me, and that's okay. I'm boring!
*hugs* Visions of snakey bones dancing in my head...
#96: “Is that your real hair colour?” [When assured it is not:] “Oh. Well, it looks so NATURAL!”
*argh*
People ask me if my hair color is my natural one. When I tell them "yes" they _do not believe me_, why would someone ask a question if they are not going to believe one of only two possible answers?
What cracks me up is, MY hair is NOT NATURAL LOOKING AT ALL. It's henna, so it's an almost praeternatural shade of brilliant red. Ask Topknot. She said it was blinding in the sunlight.
When they say "...it looks so NATURAL..." I know they're saying the precise opposite. I mean, WHY ask if they think it's a NATURAL colour?
Okies then I will stage new shininess for February!
As for the asshattery, much like the unfortunate woman who drank water til she died for a Wii... Proof that stupidity is sometime fatal and why doesn't HAPPEN MORE OFTEN!!
I could use new shinies! I'm about six short for the nine boxes I packed the other night. I thought I'd go see what I could find locally to fulfill their jewellery jones, but if you want to send more, I'm happy to take them!
I heard about that. It only goes to show that if your local "morning zoo" has some lame-brained stunt to let you win things, you'd be better off NOT doing it! I didn't hear how much water she drank, but...geez!
They had people guzzling a gallon of milk as fast as they could last week for National Milk Day. It's a wonder more of them didn't get sicker than they did!
This morning the two wiseguys on the station I was listening to were suggesting even DUMBER stunts.
I can send a package on monday, with a couple of spares just in case.
2 gallons of water will kill most people, tho the majority get sick and vomit long before that point. I saw stuff like this all the time when I worked for SmithklineBeecham labs, people would drink massive amounts of water to pass a drug test. Here's a CLUEx4, don't do drugs before a drug test....
I read it was 7.5 litres, and resulted in her brain swelling...
As for presenters suggesting even more stupid things - they should be reprimanded by their bosses. I know it was stupid of this woman to have taken part, but it was even more stupid of the radio station to allow this competition...
And I apologise to you; your threatened package of BPAL was supposed to be pulled and sent out to you LONG ago, but I've been so wiped all autumn and spent all December SICK.
I was actually halfway digging out your imps TODAY when I saw your post. I'll email you later on and see if your want list you sent me is still 'current' or if you have found any of them. You also told me the vanilla/amber/honey/foody stuff I love sounded good TO YOU, so I was going to do some other decants of my bottles.
You might go through www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com once more and just send me an updated wants/wish list.
I mean, it's perfume, but it's FAB-U-LOUS and it doesn't set off my allergies (well, Beltane 2006 did, but that's a rare happening) and it's such a mood-adjuster!
No need for apologies, there have been extenuating circumstances! And of course I can't complain for not yet having received something that is coming from pure generosity. ;D
I checked what I sent you for my want-list and the only one I got ahold of is an imp of Tweedledee. But honestly, your tastes run parallel to mine, so samples of anything you've enjoyed would be wonderful. I am open to trying anything I haven't yet tried, and so far I've tried Bliss, Hellcat, Nemesis, Nosferatu, Rose Cross, and the Red Queen. The only one I didn't like was Bliss (too one-note milk chocolate) and I'm still on the fence about Red Queen because first time I tried it, it was mostly cherry cough syrup.
The ones I have or have coming are:
Ahathoor Bastet Belle Epoque Black Lotus Bliss Chimera Czernobog Elegba Has No Hanna Hellcat Hurricane La Belle Au Bois Dormant Nemesis Nosferatu Peitho Ra Rose Cross Saint-Germain Seraglio Succubus Sundew Tamora The Red Queen Tushnamatay Tweedledee Tzadikim Nistarim Voodoo Yggdrasil
By the way, BPAL is a PURE perfume oil--most of the time perfumers dilute it with perfumer's alcohol or other oils like jojoba or whatever to make it "wearing strength". Be careful about applying full-strength to your skin; if you develop sensitivity, you can create an allergy.
I'll throw in a bottle of fractionated coconut oil--no scent, absorbs into skin quickly and feels non-greasy--with the imps I send you so that you can use it with the BPAL. I normally wear everything at a 50/50 dilution, either mixing it on a glass plate or mixing a small amount of BPAL + fractionated coconut oil in a small bottle so that I still have my original bottle of PURE BPAL.
