"You make me sick...you wanna lick my wounds, don't you baby?"

I'm such a pervert. I'm in yet another battle to get another Internet provider, since Comcast will not replace my cable line no matter how many phone calls and letters that I write to the corporate office. They have decided that it has been fixed, since nothing is showing in error on their end. All you have to do is try to use my home phone for 5 minutes (I have Vonage so it uses the cable line) or try to use Yahoo or continuously flip through webpages for a few minutes, and you can sit here and watch it connect and reconnect over and over. I've switched to AT&T DSL and phone service, and they have already tried to make an appointment to come and install my new lines twice - it's been over 2 weeks. Now, Vonage will not transfer my number with any type of expediency. I've sent 3 e-mails to Vonage - have made 5 phone calls and now I'm told that they will expedite it; however, the department that promises to expedite the number transfer doesn't have a "dedicated" number that the public can call back on Image Please, I know this game. So, I have to go through 10 grueling minutes of customer service automated choices and explaining the same problem again to a first level phone operator every time that I want to contact them. What a nightmare. Good lord, I just want to play spades online again sometimes (when it disconnects - I get bumped out of rated games over and over and it's killing my ratings, and I never get to finish a game).

Wow, I got so caught up that I forgot why I'm a pervert today ;) I had to read a number/letter combination that AT&T has assigned to my phone number to check on the status on the transfer - and I swear, some of the letters were the letters that can sound too similar to another letter, like "n" or "p" - I had to stop myself like 3 times from giving *awful* words to distinguish the letters. I used to do this to make my family laugh - like p as in penis and n as in nut, etc (I know, I have a stereotypical 18 year old male's mind in my body - it's very sad). She finally saved me and started repeating "n" as in Nancy (OH, yeah - nancy... :P ). It's funny that a phone call to a telephone company can make you realize how much of a pervert you are - and not the inordinate amount of sex that you've been having lately (and, yes...that was just an example...grin).

I'm amusing myself by ordering free samples on the Internet. I ordered my brother a tampon sample to be funny.

I was thinking today that it's so odd how some men treat curvier or fuller-figured women - or, how people treat them in general. We don't feel any different on the inside (no pun intended...hehe) - I don't wake up and walk around and just feel different than anyone else until someone else does or says something to make me feel different or until I see the way someone overweight is portrayed (or the absence of a portrayal) in the media or on tv. We still feel sexy - we still have skills - we still like to dance, dress provocatively on occasion. If people didn't treat overweight people differently, we wouldn't have to deal with near as many hang-ups about it that we do. I don't worry about it as much anymore. My stomach is so screwed up all the time, that as long as I'm feeling well - it's a good day and I'm happy with myself. I'm certainly not giving up naughty lingerie, low-cut evening clothes, dancing, figuring out how many household chores that I can get away with doing nude, etc...(grin)

I was thinking last night as I drafted a modification to a will, a codicil, for one of my mom's relatives that I had just made as much in an hour that I did working all day at my previous firm, since I was salaried. That's pretty sad. I wish I had more courtroom experience; I would just open an office on my own. If only I could find someone that wanted to do all courtroom work, then I would happily do all of the phone calls/research/writing, etc - it would be a perfect match.

I've learned many things from selling things on ebay - I've been selling my clothing that is too big now or that I just don't wear anymore. People are just freaking nuts. And, yes, I already knew this - but I just didn't realize how many people are, indeed, nuts. I make my descriptions *very* brief w/only the necessary information. People ask me things that are right there in front of them - such as, what is the waist measurement? I've been asked what shipping to Canada will be on an item - there's a *shipping calculator* right there on the page - so I have to calculate it for Canada on my page and send the amount back. This is just insane - this isn't even nuts - this is just not paying attention to the details. I don't think enough people realize how important the DETAILS are in everything you do, from work to being a good lover.

Speaking of details, I do owe a special thank you - sorry that I misjudged you - to someone that has been very sweet to me lately and has talked to me when I'm not making any sense, not feeling well, or when I'm being my normal, obnoxious, talking a mile a minute, seeing how many innuendos that I can fit into a sentence self. I have to remember to put good things about people in my blogs - instead of just bad things - this one is considered canceled out now (teasing grin).

I haven't typed for awhile and my hand is feeling numb - god forbid that I damage my right hand Image
