Wow.
This made me shoot hot and sour soup through my sinuses. Ow. I love how into it they get. Watch the woman's little dance at about 1:13. | | Sunday, May 24th, 2009 | | 11:30 am |
Tales From the Answering Service
I had 97 calls yesterday, from the St. Louis area, from people with broken air conditioners. Seriously, I counted. For most of the heating and cooling accounts, if the caller says that it is an emergency and must be paged out to the technician who is on call. So, today, I talked to Steve (the technician for one of the accounts) a lot. Some notable exchanges included: ( Read more... ) | | Monday, May 4th, 2009 | | 6:10 pm |
Answer-All
So I went in for my first day at the call center. Just basic training stuff. But yeah. I'm getting promoted. My boss told me that I'm being trained to be a shift supervisor so she's going to be overseeing all of my training tomorrow. This means more responsibility for Monica, which is scary. But it also means more money for Monica. As well as the ability to say that I'm a supervisor, bitch! | | Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 | | 2:18 pm |
Woo!
I've got a job! I called the company on Friday. I had my interview yesterday. I start training on Monday. Hopefully, it works out. | | Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 | | 12:47 am |
The Fail And The Awesome
So, I was watching Hell's Kitchen, season five, on Hulu. Interesting show. I really liked it. Something happened, though, that started to reeeaaally bump against my rage button. ( Cut For Rant ) | | Saturday, April 4th, 2009 | | 4:07 pm |
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?!
They're remaking Nightmare! They're remaking Nightmare on Elm Street. GOD! FUCKING! DAMN IT! I LOVE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET! It's the best damn slasher franchise there is. The original, first movie still terrifies me to this day. Freddy (back when he was still Fred Kreuger) was one of the most horrifying things ever. I couldn't sleep well for A YEAR after seeing PART of Nightmare at age nine. Robert Englund's performance was perfect. The film was fine as it was! How dare you remake it. Then they did this. They invoked The Cue Cullen Rule. Jackie. Earle. Haley. Fucking Rorschach is playing my Fred. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE! http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/04/nightmare-haley.htmlETA: Okay. To calm myself down (and you, if you are like me (Meghann)) have some Watchmen Hyperbole: ( Cut for Images ) | | Saturday, March 21st, 2009 | | 7:24 pm |
Ow
Something very strange just happened. I just had a sneezing fit (I've got the flu) and on about the fourth sneeze I felt this weird pop. On my chest. Like, over my sternum. But I cannot stress to you the loudness of this pop. I thought for a second (in panic) that something had broken. Then I sneezed again and it felt like someone had punched me and my arms went all tingly and numb for about a minute. Really freaking weird. I'm better now, but there was just a moment of "holy shit, I'm having a heart attack, what the fuck?!" | | Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | | 3:03 pm |
Oh, People
I loved Watchmen. I thought that it was masterfully done. Yes, there was a lot of gore, but I felt that it had context (shows just how brutal Rorschach is, show how destructive Manhattan can be). Yes it was longer than the average film and, yes, it was wordy. It was a perfectly faithful adaptation of the source material. No, the characters weren't particularly sympathetic if you can only sympathize with perfectly good people. There are no perfectly good people in Watchmen and I think that the film showed that very well. Why, then--in light of all of the various elements in place in this wonderful film--is everyone only talking about the cock. ( Talking About Nudity ) | | Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 | | 5:45 pm |
Obligatory Twilight Post
I know, I know. Everyone is talking about how crappy Twilight is. I'm coming in to the game really late. The thing is, though, for all that people are talking bad about it, it's a really, really original story! Nobody has ever written anything quite like this before! The story, for those who don't know it. Buffy Bella moves from LA Arizona to small-town Sunnydale Forks. She is befriended by Queen Bee Cordelia Jessica and is admired thoroughly by bumbling, awkward, geeky Xander Mike. Also in the group of friends who are interested in her is shy, quiet girl Willow Angela. She is disturbed by the amount of attention paid to her in her new, small-town school because she is the Chosen One. She alone must stand against vampires, demons and the forces of darkness. She is The Slayer. I...I don't know, really. Mostly she's just petulant. Then she meets a guy. Angel Edward. He is tall, pale and undeniably handsome. She never sees him in the sunlight because he doesn't go to her school and only shows up at night to warn her about the danger that she is in while patrolling he and his family stay home from school on sunny days. Very stealthy. She is extremely annoyed by him because he only shows up to warn her about danger and be vaguely sinister and mocking toward her he scoots away from her in Science class! Then it turns out that he is a vampire! Buffy Bella is completely horrified attracted further! She knows now that she must kill him, it being her duty and all obsess over him even more, his perfect eyes, his perfect lips, his perfect skin, his perfect breath, his perfect left pinky toe, his perfect perfectness! It turns out, though, that he is a good guy! He is a vampire with a soul, cursed decades ago by Gypsy elders to feel the guilt of the lives he's ended so gleefully as a monster a...vegetarian vampire...who only drinks animals' blood (wait, animals? I don't think that vegetarian means what you think it means!). Of course, he being a centuries-old vampire and she being a high school student, their love life is filled with complications. pretty simple actually. He cannot see her in the sunlight or he will burst into flames and become dust...sparkle...like killers do...yeah. Then, there is the generation gap. Since he is so much older, his dating skills come from another time in which men were the protectors and caretakers of their women and, therefore, tended to treat them in a vaguely diminutive and controlling manner. In response to this, Buffy Bella is outraged and kicks his ass even more in love with him and how beautiful he is! In Conclusion: Vampires: UR DOIN IT WRONG! EDITED for appropriate icon. | | Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 | | 3:53 pm |

Tales From The Phone Sex Line
You know, I am a very open person. I am very empathetic and I like to put myself in other people's shoes. During my time working the phones, I've been exposed to a wide (and I mean wide) variety of kinks. Even if I do not share the kink (and many I do not) I can usually see where the person is coming from. Also, I like to ask them about why they like what they like (in a very accepting way, not judgmentally.) Sometimes, though... ( Read more... ) | | Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | | 12:08 am |
Scream Queens
Officially the greatest show ever. I wish that they were really making this movie. I would watch it everyday. Current Mood: giggly | | Saturday, September 27th, 2008 | | 4:34 pm |

Tales From The Phone Sex Line
A French guy called today. It was pretty cool. He mostly wanted to describe to me a fantasy S&M relationship in detail. I was like, "hey, cool. I don't have to do much talking and his English is so poor that it takes him awhile to form his sentences." The call ended like this: Him: Okay? It ees okay? Me: *sexy and engaged voice while I read my comics* Sounds very good to me. I would love to see all of that. Him: H'okay. Thank you very much for your, er, your, euh, your time. Me: My pleasure. Him: *hangs up* Except that he didn't. He didn't hang up. He just set his phone down. This was TWENTY MINUTES AGO and I am still on the phone with him off doing whatever the hell. I heard a TV and I heard him singing, I believe. This is so bizarre. One one hand, I can't hang up or I will lose the half hour I spent on the phone with him and mess up my entire time chart. On the other hand, you know, YAY, FREE MINUTES FOR ME! Edit: Aaand it just disconnected. Adventure and excitement! | | Friday, June 27th, 2008 | | 3:07 pm |
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed." 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated. 5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-) ( List O' Books ) | | Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 | | 1:48 am |

Sex Worker in the House
Hey, do you ever watch tv late at night and see those phone sex ads? And all of the women in it are so beautiful and sexy and stuff and you're like "wait, do they really look like that?" It is official. They do not. I am now a sex line operator. I will get paid $9 an hour to talk dirty with strangers. I get to work from home and my hours are whenever the fuck I feel like working. Also: I get to have all kinds of fun stories. Tales from Phonathon will have NOTHING on Tales from the Sex-Line. | | Thursday, May 8th, 2008 | | 2:36 am |
Do you know what is worse than knowing that your final paper is a piece of shit? Knowing that your final paper is a piece of shit and not being able to bring yourself to care enough to make it better. Also--not being able to write in anything but obnoxiously long run-on sentences. Current Mood: crashing | | Wednesday, October 10th, 2007 | | 5:07 pm |
I hate Rainbows. I don't ever want to hear about Rainbows again. I don't ever want to see a rainbow. I don't want to see another hippie for at least a month. But at least that presentation is OVER!!! Good thing that we had a bunch of YouTube clips. 3 hours talking about a nomadic hippie tribe that call themselves "The Rainbow Family of Living Light"? NO THANK YOU! ALSO!!! Lewises! When is your fall break? We need to be getting together for the mocking of the bad horror films and the consumptions of sweets! | | Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 | | 11:03 pm |
...Wow...
St. Monica's Catholic school in Creve Coeur is having an event called Monicafest. I love this and want to say it all the time. Monicafest. Imagine it, won't you? In a twinge of curiosity, I decided to put Wikipedia to use and finally look up St. Monica to see what she was all about. Wouldn't it be cool if there was some sort of weird coincidental connection between us? (shut up, I'm sleepy and easily amused by Wikipedia.) But no. No, not at all. First of all, Monica is the patron saint of wives and mothers. Wait, it gets worse. She is the mother of ST. AUGUSTINE! You know, mr. spent his adolescence and young adulthood in complete debauchery before converting to Catholicism and deciding that everyone in the world should be as pure and sin-free as he became? Wait, it gets worse. I'll leave it to Wikipedia: "Her parents brought her up as Christian and married her to an older, pagan man named Patricius. He was a man with a great deal of energy, but also a man given to violent tempers and adultery. Augustine reports that despite the prevalence of domestic abuse at the time, because of her obedience to him, Patricius never beat St. Monica. Furthermore, her mother-in-law was against her and put her into great troubles. However, St. Monica attended church daily and found patience. She would say to other women who had bad marriages, "If you can master your tongue, not only do you run less risk of being beaten, but perhaps you may even, one day, make your husband better." She won the favor of her mother-in-law in a short time. Eventually, she converted Patricius to Christianity and calmed his violence." [emphasis mine.] What the flippedy fuck?! Namesake, you disappoint me. |
