Upping the Spammers’ Appeal and My Lovely Day Ugph!

[imood mood at time of entry: tired]

Did you know that a promise of kinky sites via text and links are not cutting it anymore? You should.

Now that “Christians” have gotten in on the spamming game, they give you pictures! Yes, that’s right. Inspirational “Christian” pictures to move you to click their wholesome links. Isn’t that wonderful?

Here’s one of the pictures I was able to save:

I found out, after a few tries, that if you change the name of the picture you want to save from the spammers’ emails, they won’t save. The second picture that I wanted to save was chopped into pieces. I think that it led to different sites, or areas of the same site. Who knows. It might have been set up that way to thwart people like me. I’ll try to catch that picture again in the future to save and post.

There are also Christian lenders to go with the debt helpers. Fantastic!

I am a little tuckered out. I got up semi early after staying up a little late. (*hack*) I went to the WorkSource and added my city and state to my resume. I printed out four copies to keep myself from having to run around in search of a printer. Those library printers are expensive.

I am serious about this job business. I am broke, and I want more dammit! I want to travel or at least get the heck out of my little rut. It’s boring and disheartening to be in the same place doing the same thing every single day, and not getting out anymore. Well, not as much as I would like. 🙂 I am getting out some.

I stopped at the park across from the Natural Science Museum and worked on filling out my application. I wrecked the first one with mistakes, and I needed to put some thought into what I could actually do. Filling out the newer applications is so intimidating for me. They ask all of these questions about what software I can use, what type of business machines can I operate, what is my GPA (I don’t even know! I never picked up my final transcript. Only my High School Dipolma to give to my mother for framing. 🙁 I’m terrible. . . ), and everything else in the world. Hell! They even want to know what fines I have paid in the past five years.

I know that I can operate software and business machines, but I feel so small. Like I am over my head and completely uncertain of my abilities. After living in the land of the I Can’ts for years, it’s crippling to try to work up from there.

The background check done by the museum is beyond thorough! So much so, that the museum puts the United States Intelligence to shame. If our ‘Intelligence’ had put as much effort into discovering who actually had what weapons where, as this museum puts into finding out what my credit score is, what fines I have paid, what jail time I have done, and every other darn thing about me, then maybe some of our troubles could have been avoided.

I stayed at the museum after I turned in my application and resume to buy stones from the gift shop. I bought stone keychains, two necklaces that had scrabs on them (one for myself, and the other for my pen pal, Becca), seperate collectible stones, and a small bag of stones that I was not allowed to purchase seperately. I really did not want to steal from the Museum of Science. I love Science! And I want that job.

I checked out the rip off prices at the museum McDonald’s after I spent nearly $40 on gift shop stuff. As I headed toward the door, without buying anything from Mc Donald’s, I ended up getting sucked into the planetarium displays. I always get suckered into looking at the displays. I spent what must have been an hour or two looking through the nebulae, clusters, galaxies, and star/galaxy/etc. theory movies. I wrote down nebulae, clusters, and galaxies that I wanted to save and look up later. I have three pages+ front and back in my notebook.

I am going to sign up for another Photobucket account to host all of the photos. I have two now, but one is especially for my photograph journal. I need a second one for my name in general. I post pictures in too many places to only have one for my online name.

Ooo! I still have the practice applications! I need to find a scanner so that people can see that I am not making this up concerning the background checking. I will have to track someone with a scanner down.

I just watched the BritneyandKevin: Chaotic pilot show. I thought I’d really hate it because UPN kept running those spots over and over. It’s not all that bad. It’ll be something to entertain me, seeing as Veronica Mars is gone. I am more than a little “upset” about this.

I rented Star Wars: Episode II, so that I can finally watch the movie before I go nutsy fangirl on the third movie. I read the EII book, but I want to see the movie, because everyone else has. Ha ha. =D

I guess that I will go clear out the LJ comment I just got, look through my LJ friends’ page, and then go enjoy my movie. I am apparently avoiding/having a spat with people online. Pfft. One of my supposed tiffs is with this girl who is a friend of all of my ESWs. She is a Republican who flaunts her Confederate flag on her Info Page. I told her that I did not like the flag (Read: her Republican-ness, flag, attitude, redneck woman claiming), but I would never want to force her to change her space. I also told her that I ignore what I don’t like, so I unfriended her. I guess that she will notice sooner or later, because she told me that she liked my journal/me.

. . . .

Okay. . . . *hunches*

Lucy told one of her friends about the unfriending, and I was hurt and pissed when the friend told me that Lucy told her about the non-mess. This is the second time in the last week over this same issue that I have had to question our friendship. That should not happen. First, there was the flippant comment Lucy made concerning the flag (She said something like “Who cares?” before she even knew the significance of the flag. She’s British, so she does not know American history and symbols the way a native would/should.), and now the whole friending thing. I am so done.
