No shit. It’s too bad I’m not more of a talker, but you know, a couple times a month I could see myself calling… myself, to bitch. And you could all share in the fun! Just think: long, bitchy rants from me, in my voice! With the proper intonation for “fucktard”! So great.

This Could Quite Possible Be the Best Show Ever. But, it’s not. Cause the Scifi channel keeps fucking it up.

Torture is torture. I’m so incredibly irritated that the “big freakout” about the abuse being dealt out to Iraqi prisoners isn’t that it’s happening, but that some of it’s being dealt out by women. No fucking shit. Women are people too. Women can do awful, mean, terrible things. And yea, it was probably men who

So, I’m just about to cry right now, which I’ll explain at the end of the post. I knew I should have waited until after I wrote this piss and vinegar post before I opened this box. I was fucking pissed off today. Fucking, fucking pissed off. Fucking internet psychos drive me fucking nuts. I
