I buy the original two Evangelion movies on Ebay, at the price of a new movie, and I get fucking bootleg. I'm not sure if I should be mad, since they do work on my PS3 (but not laptop, and I can't select scenes or anything) but I'm not leaving positive feedback.

Got a story I want to get off my chest.
Everyone knows I love game shows. I'm practically down there at the bar with Game Show Network on watching Pyramid and Super Password and I literally squeal with excitement when someone wins the bonus round.
Well, when I was 15, and during the time I was at retard academy, I was in the Game Show club. On this day, we were playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
I don't recall the process of how you got into the hot seat (it was obviously polled from the audience of 20 people) but it was my turn. I was excited, I love being in front of an audience doing this types of things.
(Warning: The rest of the story is going to get autistic)
Okay, so now I'm in the Hot seat! Time to see how far in this game I'll go…
Host: Okay, here is the $100 Question
If you are putting Lox on a bagel, what are you putting on it?
A. Key Fish. B. Blue Fish.
C. Salmon. D. Whale Babies.
Well, my initial reaction to this question was probably for him to repeat the question (there weren't any monitors like on the show). I could not believe it myself, I don't know why, but I was utterly stumped! I am so serious. I did NOT know the answer! At that moment, I did feel incredibly stupid, that I didn't know the answer to this $100 question. I was vocal about it, I was vocal to the audience, I felt silly, retarded and like a big letdown. But the whole audience of about 15-20 of the other students were laughing their heads off at this. They were all saying things like "Ryan, come on! Are you kidding me?" but me, I STILL couldn't figure it out! I think at this point I'll say I was enjoying all the people in the audience laughing at this, all this is why I'm not afraid of performing to an audience to this day. Yet, I still felt like a jackass and at this point I just needed to use one of the Life Lines to help me. Yes, I needed to use a Life line on the $100 question. The Life lines were 50/50, Ask the Audience, and A Big Hint from the Host (because there weren't any telephones we could use). I decided to go with A Big Hint from the Host. Well, instead of using the Ask the Audience, where they would have instantly given it to me, the Big Hint from the Host was "It's Not A or B". Okay, so I thought its got to be C or D (and at that point, I still wasn't aware A and B were supposed to be joke answers) but guess what? I still spent a good 5 minutes on the question, still stumped, not even thinking about how stupid it'd be to eat Whale Babies. The audience is continuing their laughter, and one of them is drawing a "Whale Baby Sandwich" on the White board at the back. Finally, I just go for it and say "C Salmon, final answer!" And guess what? I was right!
I won the $100! The audience cheered and applauded.
But guess what? There's MORE! After all, there was still the $200 question…
Napoleon was the Leader of what European Country?
A. France. B. Australia.
C. Napoleon is an ice cream flavor, not a leader. D. America.
I laughed very arrogantly and without one thought, I said "That would be A. England, final answer." I did NOT know what I just said, and within one seceond, the host said to me. "Okay Ryan, the answer is A. France. You are incorrect." And the audience erupted in laughter and applause and my round in the Hot Seat was over. I couldn't believe what had just happened in the past 20 minutes. Now I see why I'm such a big pansy for anything. I was so afraid to get the "Lox" question wrong, I spent 15 minutes wasting time with joke answers (I still completely missed the "Key-Lock" thing, and at that time, I'd never even heard of Lox).
Just a funny personal story I've been laughing at myself with for the past day or two. Damn there was a lot of crazy moments in my life.

Getting humiliated in front of an audience about Jew food and European leaders is the kind of combination that could produce Hitler.

Maybe thats why I had that gut feeling from weeks ago that Germany is taking the World Cup.

Umm...
Anyways, my friend's aunt died today, and rather than console her and be reasonable like her family, a handful of friends, and I did, her watchers decided to pester her for the whereabouts of their commissions despite the fact that she just accepted them a day ago and has nowhere to work on them because she doesn't have a computer anymore. I'm basically playing secretary for her, running her account and having to read barely legible requests for character reference sheets while getting payed extra from some weirdos and having to explain why, "I want to fuck your asshole until it bleeds" isn't an acceptable request to place and that if they're really going to pay me $100 for that, I'm keeping the money and not returning it.
But at least we got to watch Orange Is The New Black together and hug each other and cry.

I decided to throw some roast beef from the deli into my instant ramen.
You know, I like to cook and I always looking to learn how to cook new things. I think, I think I want to try my hand at real ramen. Not the instant crap, but something like this

Ech.
So last night, I got really hungry and... yeah. We got some Hungry Man meals for like, a dollar each because they were damaged, and I thought, "gee, I'm hungry. And I'd be very worried about people calling me a homosexual on the internet. I better eat this immediately." Chased it down with some of that powdered tea spiked with vodka because I'm a thirteen year old girl who can't take vodka on it's own. Lived up to the stereotype of blaming everything but the vodka for my head and stomach hurting. Looking back, proooooobably put an unfair ratio of vodka to tea in there...

The stupid power went out again today. Goddamn power company.
Then they said the power would be back on by 10pm (literally turned back on 15 minutes later though)
But hey I got to go out to the buffet.
