Sometimes I would hang onto funny forwards/chain letters that were particularly interesting. I remember this one about the Queen of England changing the English language so that it'd reflect pronunciation more. This resulted in a very screwed-up message spelling-wise, but it was totally readable to anyone that spoke English natively.

I've tried all kinds of searches on Google-fu (Snopes.com, too), but nothing is coming up. Anyone know the email I'm talking about? If you've seen it or got it lying around somewhere, mind passing it on to me?

Well, gee, thanks mom. I guess Hawaii for Spring Break's not happening. Actually, it COULD, if I still wanted it to, but why would I want to be alone --even in a beautiful tropical paradise-- on my birthday? See, the thing is, mom asked her co-workers who worked at the Hawaii Westins what it was like during Spring, and they all told her, KIDS KIDS KIDS. Not college kids (which is what I want to avoid anyway; the spring break crowds), but families and their little 2.5 white kids with their lab retriever. So Mom hasn't gotten back to me in several days, and when I call her in between classes tonight, this is why.

THANKS!

Well, I still want to do something with somebody. Mom needs to get out more and travel, and I am willing to pay for it if we go to a place with a Starwood resort, where Mom can get us confirmed reservations at a POSSIBLY lower price. So the question is, where to go on my Spring Break?

I'll admit, it was ORIGINALLY just a joking thing I said in passing to [livejournal.com profile] rhapsody_dragon, but what about paying her a visit? Obviously that wouldn't be the sole purpose of my spring break (sorry Mamono; I love you to bits but I couldn't annoy you for that long, no matter how devious I seem); I would probably try and hit up Canada, too... and say, isn't the Mall of America in Minnesota? Plus Canada's got some cool stuff-- though I've always wanted to go to Victoria, B.C., that's the wrong end of the country. Hey, and it's kinda near Toronto, right? I could meet [livejournal.com profile] mklutz! o_o; Or not.

Anyway, it's up to the aforementioned ladies, and/or anyone else that has any better ideas... please, please, send them my way. :)

I've canceled both of my Yahoo! Plus accounts. I will only announce this once.

DO NOT SEND EMAILS TO MY AZURITE_MOON [AT] YAHOO [DOT] COM OR SAILOR_ANDROMIDA [AT] YAHOO [DOT] COM ACCOUNTS ANYMORE! Same goes for azurite [AT] fanfiction [DOT] net, but that's been that way for a while. Please send any and all emails to AZURITE [AT] SEVENTH-STAR [DOT] NET. :) Thank you.

Oh yes: see the new icon! Much Valentine's Day lurve for [livejournal.com profile] rhapsody_dragon for this unexpected present! *guilty* ;_; Now what should I do?

P.S. PS2 premod is being FedExed! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Fwd:Fwd:Fwd.

Don't you just hate that? Long ago, I started to detest things about the Internet. Now I grew up with all this "new-age" techno jargon, devices, and so forth, so I always thought I'd be the type to cherish every aspect of the Internet. If I were to compile a list of what I hate about the 'Net, chain letters would probably be near the top.

Why? It's simple-- they're annoying, pointless, and often stupid. YES, I have gotten some very nice, inspirational messages before-- the last one I read (from someone I don't know at all) was about the dangers of drinking and driving. But it was forwarded about fifteen times-- the message size started out as 10 some-odd KB, and by the time I got to the real message, it was only 3.77 MB! How ridiculous! Not to mention unsafe. Now, I'm no big expert on email and internet privacy, but it is annoying to sift through fourteen forwarded, blank messages to get to a chain letter (which you HAVE to send to the number of others that is the month of your birth or you'll get bad luck in love for eighty-million years!) that is shorter than your middle finger. You're just looking at an endless amount of people's emails. So-and-so forwarded the message to so-and-so, who sent it... well, you get the picture.

The most annoying kinds are the ones that insist you're going to "ruin it for everyone" or have "eternal bad luck in ____" If not those, then the ones with [Image] instead of some picture, or "when you send it to 10 pplz, a window pops up; it's hella funny!" I don;t get why people don't understand that that's all bull#&%^! Seriously... I mean, maybe some of the weird window-pop-ups do say something weird-- but only if you use a certain kind of internet service provider (probably AOL). Not to mention the messages about doom-- who's going to punish me, huh? If you forward a message to twenty friends and the chain "is broken" then how can you pinpoint it on one person? Not to mention the fact that plenty of people get the EXACT SAME EMAIL twice or more. GRRR! So, in reply to all the wonderful chain letters I shall get from now on, the following response:

1. Quit it or I'll block you.
2. *click* This email is now blocked.
3. Who's going to punish me if I DO break your idiotic chain, the email gods?
4. Are you a hacker? Are you trying to send me a virus? It's not working.
5. Hahahahaa...
6. Do I know you? How the hell did you get my email address.
7. I didn't see a pop-up window. You lied to me. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
8. Don't send chain letters-- they're bad for your eyes.

P.S. On a side note, you remember the SirCam virus that was going around a while back? With the whole "Hello! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice" spiel? Yeah, how do I know that some doofus hasn't embedded the SirCam virus onto those tacky, cheesy, corny, long, and hard-drive-space-wasting emails? I don't. So just click and delete-- make the world a better place. ^^
