The Inner Workings of a Very Complicated Cheeze.

The best spam subject line I've seen in a while:
"Michelle money by tomorrow"
This made me think of a brand new form of currency which I have created here.

So, for the people that don't know, I have this sorta obsession with reading the bullshit, stereotyping dating articles on msn.com. Don't worry, I'm not trying to find out the 101 ways to make my man...well, you know. Its more of a "omfg, there are people actually following this bullshit as a guide on how to understand the sex of their romantic interest!!??!?!?" Basically, I've found several common grounds in these articles for the heterosexual (I don't really read the homosexual ones because it just doesn't apply to me - sorry). They teach men that all women want is a breadwinner and someone good in the sack and that the way to do it is to be an asshole because that's what we expect anyway. They teach women to be neurotic freaks because that's what men are used to. Additionally, I'd like to say that these articles are very anti-femanist, so if you are one, you will be offended. Or if you are a woman with ideas of a career and an equally giving relationship you will be offended. Or if you aren't a neurotic freak you'll be offended. So today I was reading them - I get the links from the sidebars of my hotmail account - and one of the Ph. D Psychologists had her website listed...of course I clicked. If you are wondering what the poo I'm talking about when I ramble about the retardedness of these neurotic fear-playing articles just look around this lady's website and read these "helpful" hints: http://www.drdebbiemagids.com/index.html.

On to the unhappy things in life right now. What is even worse than not having enough gaming hours in the week is having to go thru the painstaking process of recovering everything you had in the bag that was stolen last Wednesday. The unhappiness keeps piling up. I couldn't even go work out last Wednesday night because I no longer had a student ID and couldn't afford to go get a new one ($25). My new licence and 2 credit cards came in the mail yesterday so at least I'm not toting my passport all over. Still waiting for 1 of my debit cards, though I don't know why I'm ansy, not like I have more than $7 in the account anyway. The pain in the ass thing though is finding a bag and wallet that are just as awesome and have everything I need as I had before. Also, my cell phone and usb drive is gone. It was $91 to replace the phone I had only gotten a few weeks ago + I had to extend my service contract another year. There was only 5 or so hours of work that I was taking home to back up from the usb drive...that made me even more sad. I did take my keys and sunglasses out just before it was taken though, so I still have those. But the theif got away with 3 of my inhalers worth $135! WTF!! I need those, you can't even sell them because they are used!! WTF!! Not only do I have a hard time understanding the mindset of someone who would just up and take someone else's bag AND get to sleep at night, but there is something seriously wrong with a person when they take the bag, find only (maybe) $3 and an unemployment check and DO NOT return at least the rest of the contents that have no monetary value like my bag and calander. The world breeds some major assholes and its not fair to the rest of us. At least Chris2 got his revenge...the day after my bag got stolen, he had his wallet pickpocketed. Click here to read the heroic tale of what he did when he found out. While looking for a new bag that is worthy of me (as in, dirt cheap & convenient - fuck all those designer bags that start at $125!), I searched Target's website with the words "mini backpack" and it came up with "GI Joe - The Original MiniSeries DVD." It's a sign, I feel it in my bones.

One good thing though, on Saturday night, Mike and I made soup. This may not sound awesome so let me embellish. It took the both of us a bunch of money and over an hour of working together when decided to make the Olive Garden version of Zuppa Tuscana. We added 4 times the meat... and let me say, cooking onions and bacon together is INGENIOUS! This was, by far, the best soup ever! Even though it was only similar to the Olive Garden's version, I think it whooped its ass.
