I'm so stinking cold all the time! I always feel like either wrapping up in a blanket--hard, because I'm always moving my arms and such--or else slipping into a steaming hot tub (hard too, because our tub is too small for even five-foot-me to fit in it without bending my knees!). It seems the only time the heater is on is when I'm NOT cold. :P

YES! I got to deny kjskvefqwdzm@yahoo.com before that OTHER stupid bimbo got to it! At first I thought she'd approved yet another one, but it turned out the notice in my inbox was the one from yesterday. I was just too mad at the time to delete it then.

I really wish I could either remove her from the Group or take away her administrative duties. I have nothing against her as a person, but I'm very upset that she feels she has the right to approve Spammers for membership, yet she won't lift a finger to do anything ELSE in her very own Group. I really can't see why she even bothers logging in to approve them when she can't find the time to post even a single message. When she and her friends forfeited the Group to me, AND when they denied the responsibility of posting or contributing to the Group, they then forfeited their rights as moderators. I just wish I could figure out a way to let her know this since she apparently can't read!

Didn't I have ANYTHING else to say?

:/

Oh. You wouldn't believe how many lonely foreign guys have written to me...and not a SINGLE one has mentioned a single interest in common with me. Why do they bother, really? I clearly state "NO ROMANCE" and "MUST SHARE SAME INTERESTS" in my profile. One of the guys who wrote to me even had the e-mail name "lonelylover"! Sheesh! Is it just me or can desperate single guys NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? It does not matter HOW lonely or eager they are for penpals. If I do not have anything in common with somebody, I WILL NOT WRITE TO THEM.

ONE person has written to me so far who DOES list some of my interests, and the name (Terri) seems to signify female. (Thank GOD. You'd think I'm a bitch in heat with all the lonely guys writing. Ugh. If they got a look at what I REALLY look like they wouldn't be so eager...) There are a couple of misspellings in the e-mail though so I'm not sure if I should reply. No offense...but I don't like communicating too much with people who have trouble with basic English. I REALLY don't mean to offend; I know they're the same as the rest of us. It's just that I feel like I'm going to be talking over their heads or something, that I'll have to dumb myself down. Not necessarily true, but it's a feeling I get. I don't know how to communicate with...oh Jeez, I know I'm going to hate saying this because it's not exactly what I mean. But I don't know how to communicate with those of lower intelligence. *cringe* I hope you know what I REALLY meant. I know! I don't know how to communicate with those with lesser communication skills. (Not "less" skills--that's grammatically incorrect! I mean LESSER skills!) There. "Lesser communication skills" does NOT mean stupid, or even less intelligent, it just means people who don't have the spelling and grammar down. For all I know they're math geniuses while I'm math illiterate. So we're even. Just as they wouldn't be able to communicate with me about math, I feel I couldn't communicate with them about grammar. That's what I meant. And since pretty much my whole life revolves around my writing, you can plainly see why I would have nothing to talk about.

Okay. Now that I've probably thoroughly offended everyone who reads this journal, I'll be going.

Hey! There's the heater!
