Dear A.R,
I think it's sort of funny how you're really obsessive over someone that doesn't love you anymore, even though it seemed like you had moved on. You're dating a twenty something year old man, you little 16 year old skank, and you're so immature... you give yourself to everyone just to make him jealous.
And another thing, don't talk smack about me. Say it to my face.

Hey, NaNo?
This whole word discrepancy thing going on between your counter and my word processor's counter? Not cool. I'm losing words- in increasing amounts. Used to be your counter was telling me I had 3 less words than my word processor was telling me. That turned into 5. Then 6. But 10? That's a lot of words when words count! I'd kindly appreciate it if you stopped this tomfoolery and gave me my 10 words back, hu?
Till then, I'm on the side of my word processor.
The writer up 10 more words than you're giving her credit for.

A girl I went to middle school with answered one of those social interview things about me of Facebook. The question was: "If Anna won an award, what would it be for?" She answered, "I could see her winning the Nobel Peace Prize. You're one of the few I know with a truly good heart, so I could totally see it."
Granted, I've only run into her a handful of times since we were in class together. She works for my dad now and I put in a good word for her, but other than that I really can't imagine what I could have done to motivate such a comment. I thought I was the most awkward girl way back in the middle school days, so it mean so much to me that she would think of me highly. I guess it goes to show that the little things I do really do matter, because you never know who is could affect.

Geralmente não sou o tipo de pessoa que levanta uma bandeira e sai agitando, batendo no peito e dizendo que temos de lutar por isso ou por aquilo. Simplesmente gosto, sou, faço.
Há um caso particular que parece permear toda a minha vida interunática e que na verdade, na vida real não tem papel tão grande. Mesmo assim, é como todo o resto: não escondo, mas não levanto bandeira.
Esse tema, que se você me conhece na internet ou é meu amigo na vida real, já sabe qual é, o homossexualismo. Primeiro, odeio essa palavra. Tão feia.
De qualquer forma, não acho que preciso esclarecer, e normalmente nunca o faço, mas como talvez esse post venha a ter leitores não muito íntimos: não, não sou gay. E isso simplesmente pouco importa. Não precisa ser negro para gostar de negros, por que eu precisaria ser homossexual para gostar deles?

Alright so I was looking in my fridge tonight, realizing that I'm on the last couple days before I need to go grocery shopping again. Contents of my fridge/freezer : soy milk, garlic, spinach, half a tomato, red onion, one slice of provolone cheese, feta cheese, brei, cream cheese and half a bag of morning star chik'n'strips. (Can you tell I'm from Wisconsin? haha) I also have pasta by default as a consistent last resort. I noticed the theme of a potential med pasta so I looked up a couple recipes. I didn't have exactly the ingredients but I substituted. You can find the recipe I was looking at here. But this is what I did and it was amazinggg (still eating it)...
Fill pot with water, bring to a boil. While you're waiting for that to happen, pour some olive oil in a pan for the chik'n'strips. I put in a little more than what was probably necessary to be sure it would coat the pasta. Cook chik'n'strips until they're browned. You're water is probably boiling by this point so feel free to put the pasta in! (angel hair, rotini, bow tie, whatever you have in your cupboard i personally don't think it really matters, I used rotini). When you're chik'n'strips are browned throw in one minced garlic clove and half a chopped tomato (or more). Sauté that around a bit. Back to the pasta, I always pull a noodle out and eat it to make sure the pasta is done. If you're satisfied, strain! Back to the chik'n. I chopped up some red onion and threw that in to add a little crunch, I also put in a few spoonfulls of feta cheese. The recipe had called for cream to make the "sauce" but I only have soy milk so I poured in about 1/4 cup and sautéd that for about 1-2 min. Put it in a large bowl and mix it all together! Salt and pepper to taste. AMAZING! EASY! CHEAP! TASTY!

*2 years ago…House: The Only Way Out Is In*
Dear abnormal psych professor/advisor of mine:
I've put up with a lot out of you. I've put up with your misogynistic statements. I've put up with your anti-religious sentiment. I've put up with your "pothead agenda" and your "anti-medical" stuff.
But when you brought up something THAT homophobic, I can't help but hate you.
Do you get your kicks from hating on gays and lesbians? 'Cause if you do, you can kiss my ass so hard right now. Did you ever stop and think that maybe, just maybe, one of the students in your class might be a lesbian? Of course not.
I hope you're looking forward to a scathing review come Professor Evaluation.
Despising you more every day,
The lesbian in the class
PS: Best be glad this is the real world, buddy boy. You don't get off so easy in my dreams.

Dear K's mother,
Just because she's your daughter doesn't mean she's right in everything.
You guys can manipulate everyone else, but if I ever take it to the higher courts, it won't be good on your end...especially since your daughter threatened me on her tweets...that's also against the United States law, and even the Terms of Service.
K's mother, don't tell me you are proud of your daughter for publishing information about her sex life in her notes, myspace and everywhere. If she were my daughter, her ass would be beat red and I'd take away her computer privleges...don't care how old she is now, but she's 23-years-old, and when your daughter uses the Internet, she comes off as a 14-year-old mentality.
You're her facebook friend, you see all the shit she posts, and you're still proud of her and stick by her side? You know she has a whole problem with this entire town, so it definitely wouldn't look good on your guyses end...especially when she tweets about having another beef with another girl, etc.
Why don't you tell your daughter to shape up and mind her own business?
She always gets herself involved just because she's always so nosey in everyone else's businesses and doesn't seem to mind her own.
What was God on when he created people like your daughter? I'd like to know.
Thanks,
me

Dear Person upstairs that am loathe to name,
You are un-sodding believable!
I told you Thursday about the fact that I didn't think the clock had clocked me out although I swiped it. You said it was fine and you would sort in on Monday as you weren't going back on the clock on Thursday and were "flexing" Friday off.
Sis you sort it out in Monday?
No you freaking well didn't so I'm now 6 hours and 22 minutes down!
So I have fill in a clock adjustment form which is a pain in the ass mainly as my manager isn't here.
I know that if I had filled in the form the other day you would have said it's not needed, but now as it's been left so long I need it.
MAN THAT IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!
A muchly pissed off student that hates the flex clock anyway!
Jo

Dear Dad,
Seriously? You're going to buy a new computer instead of adding extra RAM to the one we've already got? All we need is two or three more gigs of ram on the desktop and it will run fine. But no, you want to spend a couple hundred more than that would cost and just get a new one because you don't want to go through and install the extra RAM?
If you're going to do that, I want to hear absolutely nothing from you when I get myself an expensive cell phone.
Nothing. At all.
Love,
Your Daughter

Internet gives us a lot of opportunities today: news, job, entertainment, shopping… The list can be very long actually. But what would you say if I told you the Internet can give you a wife? No, I do not mean the wife you can get acquainted with on the Internet, meet with her in reality then and get married with her. I think that it would not surprise anyone because there are a lot of different services on the Internet already which help people to find each other.
I mean a virtual wife. Just imagine: you see the lady on the Internet (at social networks or dating sites, whatever) which you like very much. You even become her admirer and would not mind to see her often and be with her. But unfortunately she is so far away from you. Do not worry.
One young lady has solved such a problem already. She’s found the internet video project “Virtual Wife” where she can become a virtual wife to all her admires. Actually, you can also take part in this project.
The link for the info about Virtual Wife is: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4885604/M
As far as I understand, you should not do anything – just watch and admire.
Well, such services the Internet provides us today. Could you even think of this 20 years ago??
