I’m back at home for a day or so, using my mum’s internet and– jeez! I could bake a cake in the time it takes to search Quark’s forums.
I think I’ll just go back and use the free high-speed internet at Arby’s. Is it bad when everyone recognizes you there? Maybe I should just suck it up and get my own high-speed internet at home?
…. Nahh..
I meant comb through my spam.
I’ve decided not to have a birthday this year. Perhaps I’ll decide to turn 21 next year.
Getting old is overrated anyway.
I’m using the free internet at Arby’s when I get hungry and decide to get some fries and a drink. I go up to the counter and order. The total is $5.11, I hand her a $20, a nickel ($.05), and six pennies ($.06).
She counts the change, thinks the twenty is a five, and types in $5.11. The register says $0.00 for change.
Then she realizes her mistake and– rather than simply giving me a ten and a five– she tries to void the transaction and type it in again… but she doesn’t know how.
Her mind cannot grasp that $20.11 – $5.11 is equal to $15, I guess. So she calls the manager, shows her the $20, and the manager helps her type it in.
“It’s $14.89. What plus 11 is equal to 100?” the manager tries to explain, misevaluating the situation.
I’m too entertained (and disgusted) to correct them as they give me a $10, four ones, three quarters, a dime, and four pennies.
I figure I paid 11¢ for a display of the New Mexican educational system. Also, I figure it serves me right for trying to get rid of my spare change..
So I created a new Myspace. (www.myspace.com/pixelq.) Now, I hate myspace, so I didn’t feel like redoing my profile. Instead, I decided to let all my friends do it. I posted my e-mail address and password on my blog and let my friends modify my profile.
You guessed it: they made me gay. I’m not sure who did it, but I’m guessing it was my mum in the guise of Pammy (www.myspace.com/carlosfatmom).
Interestingly, I found all the advertisements instantly changed into gay-themed ads. Quite an interesting invasion of privacy, if I do say so myself.
