As if we needed further proof of this, all one need do is take a look at the latest thing to come out of Iran. Long story short, ‘foreign’ (meaning western cultural) words are now officially being banned from use in that country. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something a little off about calling a pizza an elastic loaf. Someone kindly correct me on that, if you wouldn’t mind. Backwards countries amuse me. Even if said backwards countries happen to be ruled by nutjobs with nuclear capability.

Yep, I’m voting for you next election.
I seem to be making a lot of posts to this category lately. You can blame stupid people like Prime Minister Stevey for that. Not only does he not see a problem with joining the US in backing Israel’s almost constant bombarding, even though that’ll more than likely be the cause of his being voted out of office, but now on top of that, he wants to make money off it. Yes, I’ll donate to a fund raiser to keep a government with policy ideas I don’t agree with in power. You know, if this keeps up, I look for a NDP government to come out on top in the next election. I’ll vote for them, or an independant, before I vote for the conservative or liberal crackpots.

Okay, so it wasn’t a DoS attack this time.
Apparently, the slowness was on our end of the network this time around. Specificly, from the next room. Stupid brother deciding to upload half a million files at once to half a million people at once. Well, now that I’m done feeling stupid, our DSL line now actually goes at DSL speed rather than 23KPS. And the next time he wants to run a file server, he can pay for his own damn line.

Not how I wanted to spend a friday…
I haven’t exactly gotten all that much sleep, at least as yet. But that’s perfectly fine… I haven’t had time to think about it yet. I’d planned to go to bed about 2:30 this morning, but by 2:25 I got hit with… something. I don’t know if it was a DoS attack, a virus, or whatever, but this machine was pretty well hammered, and the network was all kinds of saturated from the resulting… whatever it was that happened. I couldn’t even bring up the google homepage. On top of that, the virus scanner I use took a pretty heavy hit, to the point where it needed to be reinstalled. Okay, no problem. Fortunately I had the instalation file on this machine from when I saved my family’s computer, so that wasn’t *too* much of a headache. Except for the fact I had to run back and forth between computers comparing information and trying to figure out how the hell I pulled it off installing it on the other one. I love Trend Micro’s virus scanner, but damn it’s a bitch to install. Finally got all that sorted out by about 7:00 this morning, thank the gods of all that is sane, and grabbed a couple hours’ snooze–it was damn well deserved! The rest of the day was pretty evenly divided up between dealing with the finer details of the afore mentioned interview with Dell, and kicking the shit out of my web host for being crappy on a day when I coulda been blogging instead of doing what I actually had to get done. And, apparently, we’re being hit with another DoS attack again… so if I can’t post this freaking thing, we know why. Bastard child that it is. But, all has been averted, at least for now, anyway. Disaster number 54000 of my online life. Sadly, closest thing to a real life I’ve got right now. At least until I’ve got me a job… *fingers crossed*

No, no, no, no, fucking *NO*!
I’ll put this here so every single person who feels like repeatedly asking these questions can be directed to this entry, and I don’t have to hear about it anymore. If you didn’t plan to ask any of these questions, you’re one of the inteligent minority.
- No, you can’t have a picture of me. If you’re so desperate to see what I look like, meet me in person.
- No, I don’t want a picture of you. I can’t see the thing anyway, and it’s probably been just a little falsified.
- No, you can’t make a bunch of cute little pictures for my blog. I don’t need them, and neither do you.
Did I miss any? Probably. When I get asked, it’ll go here. It’s common sense, mostly, true… but the average person tends to sleep through that class. Or skip it. Hey, sounds like my brother’s entire highschool career. Well, as close to a career as he’ll ever have anyway.
Okay, I think I explained myself clearly enough, in spite of my apparent need to digress a little and throw in a bitch about the waste of space that occupies the downstairs bedroom. Disagree with the answers? Well, if and when you get your own blog if you don’t have one already, you can bitch about that. Until then, suck it up, buttercup.***DISCLAIMER***
This entry is not targetted at or about people named or nicknamed Buttercup. Unless you fall into the above criteria, at which point see my above response.

Finally!
Just when I thought I was about to be overwhelmed by morons with little backbone, no IQ, and the personality of a piece of crap, I get the occasional nice little reminder that there are, surprisingly enough, still people out there I *don’t* want to beat repeatedly with heavy, blunt things. There’s hope for humankind yet… or so I keep telling myself. Hey, it beats screaming at the top of my lungs and putting my fist through some snobby 16-year-old’s face out of frustration. Although, now that I bring up that option… it is a little tempting. Damn, still illegal. I tried.

Dating purity test.
Your Dating Purity Score: 87%
You are an innocent dater.
You’re either lacking in dating experience or have had a long serious relationship.
Either way, there’s still plenty of fish in the sea out there for you to sample!
And once I find me some employedness, I’ll go a-looking. Until then, well… we shall just see who’s looking for me. Or I’ll sit on my rear and watch TV. That sounds like a better option.

How brutally honest are you?
You Are 100% Brutally Honest
The truth hurts, especially when it comes from you.
You don’t mince words, and you probably take this result as a huge complement.
I love it when quizes are that easy to fill out. Answers did not require thought.

I didn’t give Dell Canada enough credit.
I do recall saying not more than a week ago they weren’t going to get back to me. Well, they did, this afternoon. I now have an interview scheduled for next Thursday afternoon… freakin’ yay! Hopefully, it’ll go better than the one for Online Support ended up going and I’ll be employededed and such. But, even if I’m not, freakin’ yay! Yes, I’m enthused. Deal with it. 😀
