Another Day, Another Dollar, Another Akismet Comment from Lemat
Another ebay auction went up today in efforts to alleviate the pressure in my closet. It hurt me a little to give this particular top away since I really like it but I have to accept the fact that as a Double D kinda gal, the ruffles make me look like Little Miss Muffet who has had way, way too much curds and whey. Since it’s a brand new item, I’m hoping to give it away at a reasonable price to a trendy, trendy bitch.
For the most part, I rarely check my Akismet Spam for authentic comments that might have slipped through the system. As I scrolled through over 30 bizarre spam comments I realized just how much effort goes into putting together these little gems of advertisement. I get a lot of comments from Monicas, Tonys, Johns and Eugenes wishing me luck on the “impressive services” my site provides while hawking diet pills in the same sentence. The friendly bots leave comments that imply Yoda knows me on a first-name basis: “Hello admin, nice site you have!” or occasionally I’ll receive an enigmatic fortune cookie of wisdom: “Your site is very cognitive. I think you will have good future.:)”. Some spam, however, are just outright depressing like the one from the sullen Lemat who laments “I can’t be bothered with anything these days, but such is life. I don’ care. So it goes. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. I’ve just been hanging out waiting for something to happen, but that’s how it is.” So true, Lemat, so true.
I’m about 4% done with my final essays and assignments for my Spring Semester. I’ve changed the topics to my papers mutiple times but have finally decided to write one on Political Corruption and Immorality in the Novels of Mario Vargas LLosa. Sounds intense, huh? With a 600 page novel to read in less than 2 weeks, oh, it is.

I would use Akismet if my damn host allowed me to do remote connections. I have to switch hosts by the end of May.
Although I do keep getting the same type of spam where they actually try to “join in” on the conversation in hopes that the blogger they spammed has a few less brain cells to figure out if it’s spam or not.
To me, it’s almost like divination. Fortune cookies! All I have to do is go into my spam cache and find my fortune and words of wisdom for today!

Good luck on your essay… it doesn’t sound like a fun one :s

I hope someone buys it

You have a very nice blog here. Very thought provoking. To make fast cash consider being a secret shopper. You can earn up to $900 a month in your spare time. Or a MySpace search specialist, oh wait no scratch that last one.

Aww that’s an awesome top…but I hope you sell it to someone very very trendy, indeed.
(despair.nu!)

I can’t believe I never told you the jail story! lol Ask me tomorrow when you tell me about your plans on the 14th of June. And then I’ll tell you how a Disney rep contacted me this afternoon and how I have an interview tomorrow night.

What a lovely top! Too bad you have to sell it.
Lol some of those spam stuff is indeed really genious, I read some of them in my mail and yeah, some creative brain is behind it

That’s a nice top, I still don’t think like it would make you look like you had too much way, way too much whey, but hey, whatever you say.
Woah, that got a little Dr. Seuss-ish there.
Lemat is such an insightful guy. He must have put like . . . minutes into that post. And now he’s weeping bitter tears that you deleted it. That’s cold.

Cute top. If someone buys it, lucky her. Wish I could wear something like that!
Spam (sigh). I am ever so vigilant of spam in my comments, because I remove them manually. Thankfully I’ve been able to delete every single one and block the ip’s.
