A Sweet Memory

So I'm listening to Rammstein and at the same time reading about this poor woman who can't get any sleep because of some brat who's running around in the apartment above hers. Anyhow, it brought back this memory of my last year I was rooming at UMW.

All right I'm bored, so I'm going to describe the situation in detail. My roommate was hardly ever present, because her boyfriend lived a few streets over and she pretty much just stayed with him. Our room was at the end of the hall. If you were to walk down the hall, you'd see all of these nicely furnished and decorated rooms. You'd get to our room, and it had two beds, two laptops, a TV, a fridge and ... well that was basically it, save for some scattered books and backpacks. I spent the vast majority of my time in the science building (as in, generally 10 hours a day after class) so I came home and went to sleep or finish stuff up on my computer. So here I am, nearing 11 pm and I'm tired and trying to finish some write up of some sort. All of a sudden, I hear this girl outside my room gibbering very loudly on her cell phone. I give her the benefit of the doubt: she's pacing up and down the hallway as she talks on the phone, or maybe she's in the room across from us and she's just getting in, or maybe she's just going to be loud for a minute.

Nope. She's out there for a good ten minutes, yapping the hell away on her phone. I can hardly concentrate (seriously she was practically yelling into her cell phone for who knows what reason) and I'm getting pretty mad, because number 1, I'm tired and trying to work, and number 2, that's just rude. There's a common area and there's right outside the building. And there's also downstairs common areas, inside the building. This is plain rudeness. She's RIGHT outside my door. Fuck that. So instead of telling her to leave (not fun) I decide to blast her away (fun).

So I unplug my laptop, put it right up next to the door on my side, mute it, and scale the volume up (as a note, I've used this trick a lot and it's ever so much fun), and select some Rammstein song (I had it on my old laptop, which has since died ). *Play*

I literally heard her running away down the hall. She probably thought I was a Nazi.

Win.

To the news, and everyone:

Please, no more about Michael Jackson.

Headlines that should not be headlines

So they're not exactly headlines, but they are on my Yahoo homepage and they jump out at me. They are the popular searches and Yahoo basically screams for me to look at what everyone else is looking at too. Here are some examples of what people have been most interested in over the past week:

1. Swine Flu- who the hell is still worried about that? No, seriously, who still is freaking out about it? Why? I think I've said this before - the flu is the flu. I'm guessing that people are still freaked out because there are now different strains of the swine flu. Does this sound familiar? It should. We go through this shit every year. Different names for the same shitty little virus.
   
2. The "New Moon" Movie - for those fortunate enough not to know what this is, it's the sequel to the movie "Twilight." This is the perfect example of how stupid news reaches me, no matter how much I try to avoid it. I avoided "Twilight" like the plague (or swine flu haha!) and yet, I know that there are going to be two abysmal movies made after it. Thank God I never actually saw the movie. Ugh.
3. Kate Gosselin - nobody cares about her. I'm not even kidding. The people who were searching for her must have accidentally spelt someone's name wrong, because nobody in their right mind would even remember to care about her. Her/her husband's show is basically over, which is good, because all it did was reward people for having 8 kids. Anyone can do that.
4. The Octomom - the fact that someone actually gave that woman a show is beyond comprehension. Worse yet is that people are going to condone her by watching her show, which makes me want to vomit. I could do an entire separate rant on her, but she doesn't deserve it. She makes me angry enough to spit, and use flamethrowers on people.
5. A Pole Dancing Doll - um? I can't comment on this, I just found it interesting that such a toy was created. I'm going to guess there were a bunch of angry parents ranting about it, which is probably why it was a popular search.
6. Sex and the City 2 - I can't say this enough, but seriously, who fucking cares? A stupid show now has a second movie being made. Goody!
   

I find anything from scientificamerican.com far more interesting. I have to go read something from there, all of these shitty headlines have made my eyeballs dry up and pop like ... poppy things.
