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 recieve an engimatic 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’t 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.

My boyfriend bought a gorgeous pearl white Vespa this weekend which has left me in a green fit of envy. At first, I took every opportunity to poke fun at what I thought was the most ridiclous purchase he had ever made, that is, until he filled his gas tank for 5 bucks while I shelled out a cool 30 for my tiny Nissan Sentra. Now I’m singing a different tune that goes a little something like this: I want one. Still, Orlando is the very last place one would want to drive a Vespa in. As Orlando continues to sprawl out in erratic and disorganized directions, its roads become increasingly dangerous every year. Road rage, speeding, cell phone use and general carelessness are turning Central Florida into one of the nation’s deadliest places to drive in. This isn’t exactly reassuring information when my boyfriend is driving around in a scooter while tired, overweight, red-faced soccer moms weave in between traffic in their excessively enormous SUVs (show me a stay-at-home parent who actually requires 4×4 off-road action in Florida’s sea level terrain and I will give you my left ovary).

Despite my crippling fear of losing a loved one to an automobile accident, I’m determined to buy a Vespa for its fuel efficiency and manuverability (I consider the condescending stares I’ll get from smug F150 douchbags a bonus!). In order to kick-start my purchase, I’m listing a few new and used items on ebay (one of which will include my Japanese Schoolgirl Outfit that I wore for Halloween). Mainly I want to list some items that have been hanging in my closet for some time and I’m pretty much tired of looking at them. I have really great taste in stuff, so do yourself a favor and check out my auctions you’ll be glad you did. In retrospect, I guess I shouldn’t have bought so much stationary….you can’t ride stationary around town. Bummer.
