Roll to Me

"So look around your world pretty baby is it everything you hoped it'd be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation, the right time to roll to me."

Interesting song. Even more interesting horoscope:

"You've never been one to graciously accommodate those around you simply to be polite. You are unique, and you don't mind shocking anyone who has more conventional attitudes about life. Nevertheless, you do have to live on the same planet as other people. Right now, your inner frustrations could make you difficult to be around. When you start to feel rebellious, take it outside - or to any place where you can let loose. I hear it's nearly springtime in the Australian Outback."

Well, okay. That's just great. I'm not even going to comment on it, I will leave that up to you.

So. Worms. Yep. I have to go to the bank today and make sure I can get a new account and bankcard. I fucking hate Yahoo. I have deleted all but two of my accounts. Fuck them. Look at this crap:

Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Account Services.
We have reviewed the verification information that you have provided.

Original Message Follows:
-------------------------
I'd like to alert that there is a possible worm going thru your yahoo! messenger service. Three people I know, including myself, have been affected by this and we can no longer access our accounts. I have tried calling your customer service department and they are no help whatsoever. The worm transfers by IM, sending a message to everyone on your list, and when they click on it and log in to "view the pictures" it collects the information for that account. Somehow, even though I know this is not "possible" (according to customer service), this script or person changes the date of birth so that it is impossible for any yahoo! customer affected by this worm to verify their account.


So here is what I responded to "Christopher":

"Well that's just great. Considering the fact that no one at Yahoo! even cares that this worm is affecting hundred, possibly thousands of your customers and messing up their accounts, your response to me gives no solace. I personally know of at least six people just from my buddy list that have been affected by this. Maybe you should look at past information about my account and you will see that the date of birth signed up with was 2/1/** and it was changed on August 29, 2005 to something else. I know you claim it's not possible but the worm that is going through messenger did it. If my credit card, bank account, etc. are in anyway harmed because of this worm that you are not taking care of, I will be sure to file a lawsuit against you. Have you taken a look at how many people have called in the last few days and for some odd reason their account has a wrong birthday on it? I have deleted all but one of my other Yahoo! accounts and I will never EVER use your services again. I think you are probably the worst company ever. After being a customer for six years I get treated like I am retarded by the customer service reps and told that "yes, basically you are screwed" (the customer service girl, Noor, actually said that to me.)"

As if I could actually get a lawsuit against Yahoo, but who knows. My friend KG has been effing around with them for over three months now, and they have given her no consolation at all. Fuck Yahoo.

Anyway. I feel like talking about something happy so I'm going to talk about SL. Yay, 64 days. I've never looked so forward to driving 17 hours than I do now. I can't wait. We are still talking every night, but the last few nights it hasn't been for really really long because all those 5 a.m. nights have started to catch up with me. We still talk about all kinds of things, and basically just get to know each other. It's very frustrating when people down me about it. I know it sounds weird to "fall in love" with someone over the phone, but it's possible. As long as you are being open and honest and being yourself, who cares whether you're talking in person or on the phone? Honestly, I think if SL and I met, there wouldn't be much talking going on... other than those few words you have to say ("Move your arm", "Turn over", "Watch your eye") while you're effing someone's brain out.

But what I really don't understand is how someone who has had long distance relationships, who is talking to someone who is halfway across the country and becoming good friends with them, can down me for the whole SL deal. Just because they don't exchange "I love yous" doesn't mean they are so much better off than SL and me. Just because they met once, a long time ago, certainly doesn't mean that they know each other better than SL and I do. I met Hulk Hogan once when I was five - does that mean I know him better than some fan of his that has never met him, but has read every single book, magazine, newspaper article, seen every movie (including "Mr. Mom"), taped every WWE/WWF/etc. show for the last 23 years featuring Hulk, and now is a devoted fan of "Hogan Knows Best" on VH1? Seriously. This is fucked up. I know she's gonna read this and probably be a little upset, but it's true. I can't understand why she keeps downing me about the whole thing. She's supposed to be my very good best friend and I feel like she doesn't even support me or feel happy for me. I know she cares about me and doesn't want to see me get hurt, but if talking to SL makes me happy, she should be satisfied with that.

Okay, I'm done.
