tired Things that I think would improve my life for no particular reason (read: I <3 materialism):
an electric guitar w/ amp + various accessories
a laptop
a cleaning person
a library (as in, a building in which to keep a bunch of books and things, totally organized)
a new mattress (sp?)
a messenger bag
biweekly shipments of bawls (at least monthly)
a new cell phone
the end of school
So, it thundered like twice today and then didn't do anything. I think God hates me and would like to make fun of me.
For future reference, I think I'm just going to use this as a sounding board for ideas/place to drop all the random stuff that floats in my head.
Really, really interesting books: The Tipping Point and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. They're fucking crazy. Blink is about... I don't know how to describe it. He calls it "thinking without thinking." The Tipping Point is about "epidemics," where an idea, trend or social behavior spreads super duper quickly and what causes them to do so.
PS: This is the fucking scariest thing I've ever seen: http://forgetmenotpanties.contagiousmed
It's probably the most ethically defunct, sexist, idiotic, 1984-esque onsumer product I've ever seen.
I don't even know how to describe how flatly evil that is.

Either way, I'm beyond disgusted.

The description explains that it is indeed a joke. This is the person also responsible for http://www.blackpeopleloveus.com/ (which you've probably seen and is hilarious.)

I got a new mattress and it's totally sweet, but I don't know how to spell it either. You really should go to Jordan's Furniture if you do get one, they really have how to sell you the right mattress down flat. They show you one, and ask you if it's too firm or soft. From there they give you another bed and all you have to do is tell them if you like it or not. I got what I considered my perfect bed on their second try (I tried a bunch of other beds to make sure I really liked this one. In total I tried about 6 beds, but kept going back to the second)
I still have to read Dune and Snowstorm or whatever that other one is. You don't rant at me enough about that one, so I kind of forgot what it was called.
As for the panties.. The fact that they're made so that the person you give them to doesn't know that the detector thing is there is pretty damn creepy. And I mean, doesn't that they're advertising on the internet kind of ruin it for the men anyway? Because women can just see the ad - oh wait women don't know how to use the internet (especially not Helen)

I can see how you thought it was Dune though, 'cause you definitely don't rant about that enough.
Just poking.

I heard the thunder too but I'm kinda sick of the rain. I mean I want sunny, and nice weather!!!
Uhh that website is really wierd. Plus wouldn't it be impossible not to feal it because that patch of cloth would feel different than the rest. Plus they're not exactly the time of lingerie someone would get their significant other.
