I ordered some DVDs online last week, and though they said economy shipping (media mail) would take up to one month, I figured it was just a way to cover their asses in case someone on a military base ordered or something. In my experience, it takes about 7-14 days. It was one week yesterday, so I decided to go online to check my tracking number, but I coudn't.
If my internets hadn't broken down last night, I could've checked my package's tracking number online. If I could've checked my package's tracking number online, I would've known it had passed through New Jersey yesterday. If I had known it had passed through New Jersey yesterday, I wouldn't have mistaken the mailman knocking on my door this morning as the maintenance man (I was still in bed and my dad was supposed to be home -- eventually the man came an hour later). If I hadn't mistaken the mailman knocking on my door this morning as the maintenance man, I wouldn't have to go down to the post office tomorrow to pick up my package. If my internets had not broken down, I would be holding my DVDs right now. DAMN YOU, INTERNETS!

Why is Firefox so incompatible with my layouts and nutang? ...This sucks. Anyway, it took nearly four years, but I have a new layout. Not that it took four years to make it. I just don't like changing it that often (or sometimes, ever).
I was up on the mainland in New England last weekend, in a small city and while it was fun, I can't imagine not living in a large urban area. All the stores were closed for Easter! Sometimes, New England, the only time I can come up is when I have a holiday! How can I purchase your wares now??
I gambled at the casino using their free betting vouchers, but I didn't win. How come, when I indirectly bet before (telling my mom which numbers), I won a cumulative amount of about $450 (over the course of three visits), but now that I'm legally allowed on the casino floor, nothing?!?! (This is my second visit after turning of age.) At least I didn't lose money... except for paying for the tickets to get there.

<rant>What the fuck? English is not descriptive? Why don't you get back to me when you've figured out how to use a thesaurus and find out that "scenario" and "plot" are, in fact, similar to each other. To state that with such conviction you should be an expert, but you're not; you're still asking people for help. It's great, honestly: English is not your first language, but you speak it well. Yet using questionable "evidence" to prove your point doesn't make you an authority, it just makes look like you are spewing lazily-researched gobbledygook.
I hate spring. Fucking warmth, making me sweat, the harbinger of summer. I just want to wear layers again and sleep comfortably under the covers that keep my body heat from radiating into the atmosphere. I don't want to apply even more sunscreen everyday to prevent sun damage and freckles from forming. I don't want to wear summer clothing that will only become soaked in sweat if I move an inch. I don't want to smell other people's B.O. baking in the sun. I just want the cold breeze to freeze my face and numb my ears. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!?!
The more I see my old avatar, the more I hate it, because it is not as awesome as my most current one, nor the first one, which is what it originally went back to the first time this hacking shite business took place. Maeby's just sitting there, mocking me, telling me it's not a race thing. (Yeah, whoever gets there first.)
Who the hell is the loser who keeps attacking NuTang? Is it someone who is upset they didn't receive an invite code despite their request(s) or something? If it's a power-trip thing, hacking a site, why not go all the way or target a prominent, more well-known site? Haha, way to go... you just messed up a relatively small community whose security defenses are most likely not comparable to the bigger sites -- you must feel like the winning adults on Are You Smarter than a Third Grader? or like Willy, the fully-grown, muscular Scotsman who captured a wee girl.</rant>
Z�iji�n, bitches.

Holy nostalgic avatar, Batman! Nice to see you again, 武田真治 (Takeda Shinji). Maybe you really are my first, my last, and my everything. Definitely the longest. Suddenly, I feel so dirty.

I only caught the tail end of some guy's act in a subway car, because the track noise was too loud and his slight frame produced a voice too soft. When the train slowed, I finally heard him and through the arms of standing people, managed to see him swallow one of those long balloons -- the kind you make balloon animals or an elaborate 19th-century carousel out of. And then that was it. I heard mild applause, but I wasn't sure if it were the spectators or the performer himself. He began to head to the ends of the car to collect money, which only amounted to a dollar (one guy gave a one-dollar bill). Would you want to support a man whose potential, apparently, is to be a drug mule? Also, when he came in from the next car, he scratched his butt crack as he passed my seat. I didn't want to support that, either. Strangely enough, when he was done he just sat down, started a conversation with the person next to him, and ate a sandwich while drinking a Capri Sun.
