The Idiot Population

I am just about totally sick of morons. They seem to pop up everywhere -- especially the places where morons should not be residing.

I recently sent an email to an adviser (someone students greatly rely on to graduate). In this email I gave my name (full) and I signed off with my name (what I prefer to be addressed as). This email also contained TWO questions that were (and still are) very important.

Now, when I saw how quickly she replied to said email I was ecstatic. The school I am attending has a less than stellar track record with their shoddy advising teams. When I opened the email and realized that she not only addressed me as "Kat", but did not answer either of my questions... I was slightly put out.

I mean, is it too much to expect that supposedly competent people are... competent? Is it too much to think that my simple questions will be answered? That people will turn in assignments on time? That people I pay will do what I am paying them to do?

If I pay someone 500$ to lick my damn Jeep tire -- and they accept the money -- they had damned better lick my Jeep tire.

I honestly think there are about 10 trustworthy, reliable, NON morons left on the planet.

So... which one are you?

I have to pee

So, I kinda have a thing with piercings. I like them and I have issues with not getting them. I have too many holes in my ears as it is (I am trying to keep it a bit classy instead of looking like an earring tree).

I got my tummy pierced with I was 18 (omg, 7 years ago ;_;) and then have taken my angst out on my ears since then. I can't pierce my face lest my family disown me, so I get my ears pierced and then let the holes grow up... how insane is that!?

I had actually kind of curbed my addiction for a while... until I saw the COOLEST cartilage earring EVER! I mean, seriously... I must have! But, I have all my piercings lined up in a row of three on the left and two in the lower right... basically... I'd have to get another piercing to wear this.

Someone talk me out of putting another hole in my body >_<

I guess I could always go with my nipples, but it makes me nervous :p

Should be doing HW

I was watching the news today (shocking, I know) and something very unexpected reared it's ugly head and gave me indigestion. Political Correctness.

PUKE.

The announcer started prattling blithely about how the adverts for the Super Bowl were thought to be sexist against women. Seriously?

I am a woman... and it never even occurred to me to be insulted by the hilarious commercials that were played during the bowl. Now, some nutters might say this is due to my socialization by the male sexist pig into thinking that I belong barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

HAH.

I am the least girly, girl on the planet (save for my makeup obsession). I refuse to watch movies unless they blow up, I will claw your eyes out if you say you can beat me at anything, and I am a wreck in the kitchen. So, if I am not offended by something... then it isn't offensive. It is is a bloody stretch.

People need to get the hell over it. There is always going to be a bit of gender definition in our culture... we are slowly growing out of it, but pointing it our and nagging people over it at every impass isn't helping anyone's cause.

WHO DAT

I have to say... to all of my friends that told me my team (SAINTS) was going to lose:


WHO EFFING DAT, BITCHES!


That was an amazing game. I am pleased.

Underrated Actors

This is totally random, but Heartbreakers is on and it made me ponder.

I have always thought Jennifer Love Hewitt was seriously gorgeous... and damn it, a very good actress! She was good in I Know What You Did, and her series Ghost Whisperer isn't half bad either. I think she just gets cast in CRAP movies. Maybe this says something to her choice in what a good movie is, but not necessarily to her ability to act.

Anyone that can act with Sigourney Weaver has to be pretty decent, right?

Speaking of, Sigourney... she is amazing as well! She was chased by aliens (in 79 and 2009), Ghosts, and pissed men who wanted their money back.

List of underrated actors from you guys?

No RegretZ

I found a notebook that I had started writing in in 2001. The notebook itself is COVERED in stickers of all sizes, types, and colors. Basically, it looks like a Kindergartner's. It is wicked.

It is composed of notes I was writing to a friend... and if I had a dollar for every time I said "OMG" in the thing I would be VERY wealthy.

It also made me realize that I have done NOTHING in the last decade that I had planned to do in 2001. This.... is a little more than depressing.

I don't have my pilot's license... I never went abroad for school... I never made my black belt in Shotokan.

So, my goal this summer is to finish up my Private Pilot's License before I am 28. This doesn't account for ten lost years of accomplishing nothing, however, it is a baby step.

What have you guys NOT done in the last decade that you've always wanted to do?

I miss you

I had this friend back in 2000 that was quite possibly the coolest person on the planet. He was tall, had an accent, gorgeous, and was seriously rather hilarious. He might have even been smart. How in love was I?

As it turns out, I am a HORRIBLE person, and I end up giving Mr. Gorgeous the cold shoulder for another guy (let's call him Mr. D - as in dick head).

Again... this makes me a douche.

Mr. D ends up being the jealous psycho type and logs into my IM clients one day to tell everyone on my friends list some truly cruel things. Apparently, Mr. Gorgeous was one of those people, however I still do not know what was said.

A few of my wiser friends noticed this was a tad out of character for me... and gave me a buzz.

So, here I am 10 years later with no Mr. Gorgeous... and no idea what Mr. Gorgeous is doing -- or if he is even still alive for that matter. He stopped taking my calls years ago, and that was basically the only way for me to reach him.

For some reason I thought about him last night.

You really don't have a damn clue what you have until you do something moronic that makes it all go away.

Dragon*Con

Well, Stephen and I have been talking about going to a Con since the inception of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades... and we have finally sucked it up, dropped our 70$ and decided to go to Dragon*Con! :D

Commander Riker and Diana Troi from Star Trek TNG, Spike from Buffy, and even stars from those horrible Twilight movies will be there. Also, one of my favorite authors will be there: Laurel K. Hamilton.

I am STOKED. Our HnH crewman Matt might be coming along as well (we need a camera boy!). We didn't get one of the four main hotels (can you believe they were already booked?), however, we did get a nicer hotel (more expensive, though).

I must admit to a bit of trepidation when I think of humping about in the big ATL, but I don't see a cause to leave the Con site save to go home and shower :p

So, the question is... are you guys going to come and party with HnH? :D
