Aruba was fabulous. The weather was great, the beaches were beautiful, the
food was awesome. I went snorkeling and saw a turtle and an octopus (he
inked me).

All in all I had wonderful time, but I am glad to be back!

PS-Tomorrow is (July 25) my birthday.

I am leaving in 4 short days for the sunny beaches of Aruba!! I cant wait,
I am in major countdown mode. Is anyone else close to vacation?

Just wanted to wish a Happy Fourth of July to my friends from the states!
Hope your weekend is filled with booze, burgers, and tons of fun!

Usually I am a HUGE Commerce fan but yesterday they really pissed me off.

My boss gave me a $25 Commerce/Visa card yesterday. I immidiatly read the
"instructions". The first paragraph basically (I say basically b/c I threw
them away) says your GC is ready to go, register it via the website to
order things on-line securely.

Go to the website and I cant for the life of me find where you register. I
figure oh well and move on with my day.

I decide to use my GC to grab some dinner, well imagine my surprise when it
comes back declined. I call the number on the back and after waiting about
15 minutes I finally get a rep and he tells me that the card takes 24-48
hours to activate. I ask him why the instructions say its available for
immidiate use. He doesnt know.

WTF?!?! I wish I had the instructions so I could quote them in a letter.
Damn me for being tidy and throwing them away.

Erik your letter and my experience on Friday night prompted me to write
this.

I have not been to a movie theater in over a year. I'm lucky enough to have
a drive-in about 45 minutes away and thats the only place I go. Its cheap,
you get 2 movies, you cant hear anyones chatter and the "theater" is as
clean as you left it.

I went to my local multiplex on Fiday night because, well, I was a snipit
drunk from an impromtu BBQ and was lacking impulse control and therefore
HAD to see X-Men IMMIDIATLY!

What I found when I got there shocked me. The tickets cost an arm and a leg
and then you had to give up the rest of your apendages if you want a snack.


Cost is one thing, but grossness is another. The theater floor was sticky
and there was trash everywhere. To add insult to injury people talked
loudly on and off throughout the entire movie. Oh and some genuis decides
it would be a great idea to bring his baby (complete w/ stroller) to a
10:10pm movie!

Whatever happened to clean theaters? Whatever happned to ushers who kept
the patrons under control? Whatever happned to shutting the hell up when
the freakin movie comes on?!?!?

I know that box office records are at an all time low and I have to wonder,
are theaters driving people away from the movies?

I did it. After a long time of making fun of the My Space people I have
become one. Come be my friend.

Its that time of year when everyone is starting to graduate and I thought
it might be fun to hear what everyone wants to be when they grow up!

When I grow up I would like to do anything with animals. My greatest wish
would be to open a shelter. I already take in every stray I can it would be
nice if I could do it on a larger scale.

I often thought I wanted to own a pet store but I fear if I didnt have a
boss to reign me in I would chew out all the crappy pet owners. I would
imagine that would be bad for business-good for my soul, bad for
business...lol.

So...what about you?

Like I said, you need to get out more. Nobody came here to hear anything
about you. Stop flattering yourself and quit posting blogs on my letters.
Yes, you DO need to get out more (as you've said here yourself). Yes, you
SHOULD have sought therapy instead of taking out your own personal problems
on people with real problems related directly to this site. Now leave me
alone.

What the matter troll? Did I upset you because I called you out? Poor
whittle twoll.

I came here to hear stuff about Aleyria.. it is HER BLOG. You came onto
HER blog. You have the logical skills of poetry_babe.


Oh god not another one of THOSE again....

We probably all need to get out more, I'll give you that, but YOU need to
get some anger management therapy. Why you would go to someone else's blog
to tell them to leave you alone is beyond me. If you have something
constructive to add to the conversation in progress, by all means feel free
to contribute (assuming Aleyria will welcome you to HER blog). If you just
want to be hateful, crawl back under your bridge, troll.
