Call Me Al? Call me Frank?

I was pretty sure that the internet had cursed me with NORMAL people for a few days, until I got pretty fantastic im the other night. I blame it on the sleep deprivation, but I actually gave him my real first name. I decided that when sketchos ask for my name from now on I'll just give them a fake one.

One of my favorite shows is 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'. My name on the ol [site] has to do with the show. This homeboy watches the show and I guess actually thinks that I, in fact, am Sweet Dee. I look nothing like Kaitlin Olson and my hair is nowhere near blonde, but whatever. I also have a part on my page that says my Crue is like 'the Gang' but we don't have a Frank.


26/M/Straight 81% match / 14% enemy

[11:18:06 pm]franknotdannydevito [fndd]:hiya, saw you were on, and i liked your profile so i figured id say hi :)

[11:18:37 pm]rosalita:hows it going?

[11:18:45 pm]fndd:not bad. I'm Frank, clearly

[Editor's Note! His name actually was Frank.. I didn't change that one]

[11:19:10 pm]rosalita:im [an idiot because I told him my real name]

[11:19:20 pm]fndd:cool. hello miss [insert real name here]

[11:19:46 pm]fndd:i saw what you said about your group of friends. i could be the Frank in the group, but I don't really look as pear shaped as Danny DeVito

[11:19:47 pm]fndd::P

[11:20:12 pm]rosalita:ahhaha and we havent known your our whole life

[11:20:32 pm]fndd:this is true too, but given a little time, you might know enough :P

[11:20:36 pm]rosalita:which me and my crue.. weve all known eachother literally from when we were 6 or 7 months old

[11:20:56 pm]fndd:i did like the brunch thing you said, i try to do that with my friends but theyre either lazy or just not in the mood all the time

[11:21:21 pm]rosalita:oh brunch is usually at like.. 4pm with us

[11:21:22 pm]fndd:im definitely a brunch guy on weekends tho

[11:21:39 pm]fndd:lol i settle for 12-2 so im sure i could settle for later :P if that were the case

[Editor's Note!! Uhhh... Did he think he was invited to brunch?!!?]

[11:21:59 pm]fndd:but yeah, you seemed pretty cool, so id be down for chatting on aim/yahoo sometime if youre interested, i just kinda wanna get to bed. i only got home like 5am this morning

[Editor's Note! Welllllllllllll! Aren't you just soooo popular, Mr. Frank!]

[Editor's note! I DO use aim! But there was no way he was getting my screenname! I also use gchat, but then he'd automatically have my email address!]

[11:22:10 pm]fndd:and thus didnt get much sleep, so i at least need my 6 hours for tomorrow

[11:22:25 pm]rosalita:nah i dont use them.. sorry..

[11:22:52 pm]fndd:oh, hmmm, then how else you gonna get to know someone quicker? :P just banking on using this IM thing a lot?

[11:23:51 pm]rosalita:not really.. i just use the messages rather than ims usually..

[11:24:13 pm]fndd:meh, i try to avoid too many message, bc then each one i have to respond, and delete the notification in my gmail

[11:24:33 pm]rosalita:i dont get emails with mine, i have it set not to

[11:24:51 pm]fndd:yeah, well i dont get enough emails to want to stop that notification :P

[11:25:09 pm]fndd:well, either way, i guess if u did want to chat more, the feeling of interest would have to be mutual to start anyway

[11:25:34 pm]fndd:if so, i guess i could settle for using my gmail to converse for now if you really dont use any IM stuff aside from here

[11:25:37 pm]fndd:unless fb counts

[11:26:00 pm]rosalita:im not on facebook either.. i dont really feel like staying in touch with people unless we both make efforts to do so

[Editor's Note!! Ok! that's actually true! I actually AM anti-facebook]

[11:26:33 pm]fndd:lol well, consider this me saying id like to, i just dont know if you'd like to as well

[11:27:05 pm]rosalita:you can just contact me through here if youd like to.. i honestly havent even looked at your page yet dude..

[11:28:02 pm]fndd:mhm. well i guess take a look see, and if you want to chat further, drop me an email on here, ill respond in the morning when i wake up if you feel like asking more. i never
completely filled it so i left my myspace link in there for more factual stuff

[11:28:17 pm]fndd:and unless i hear otherwise, ill just save you to my favs list on here so i know when youre on next

[11:28:39 pm]rosalita:im kind of in the middle of a few things right now.. so i dont know if ill get to it right now..

[11:28:51 pm]fndd:thats fine, then i guess ill im you again sometime

[11:29:08 pm]rosalita:ok, have a good night!

[11:29:15 pm]fndd:night miss [yep, he repeated my name.. I'm an idiot..]


So, thankfully Mr. Frank hasn't tried to contact me. I'm not sure if he realized he was monopolizing the conversation or if he realized I wasn't interested. There's also a good chance that he hasn't been on while I have. For the blog's sake, I'm hoping i'ts the latter, but.... For my own, I'm hoping it's not. I don'y understand the whole persistence thing with this kid. I'm very clearly NOT interested and he's very clearly NOT getting it. The sad thing is that I may have given him some kind of hope to continue in the dating world considering I didn't tell him what he was doing wrong.


EXTRA ADDED BONUS DAY!!!! The Brimz admitting his wrongs!

W. Brimley: man, i date sketchy girls...
haha
Senorita Rosalita: that might need to be a blog.. just that line
W. Brimley: truth!


xo!
rosie!

I'm tired and very !! ! ! ! ! !!!! ! ! exclamation point excited today apparently..

Oh, Self-Deprecation, You're So Powerful..

My vacation from the ol [dating site] was pretty short lived. I took my 2 days off and then realized how bored I was at work. I think its gotten to the point where I think I like writing about myself in a vague format where I know that 90% of the people just wont get the joke.

What scares me about this one is that he was actually looking for feedback, but I don't see why he chose me of anyone out there. He went to my page first, I went to his, I clicked off. The first thing that I look at on people's pages is their music section. If they don't have one or its really limited or vague, I usually wont spend much time on their page. I met W. Brimley on a cold winter's night at a show. Along with many other of my friends, we both listen to the same music and its a huge part of our lives. Music isn't essential to a friendship for me, but in the longrun, its bound to get in the way if you don't at least partially agree. Case in point: mrstickystuation. In honor of the Jersey Shore finale last night - I've decided to pay tribute to the one and only 'the Situation'.

[2:30:21 pm]mrstickystuation:i'm not a sticky type at all and i'm not gonna bother you:) Can i ask a quick question pls?

[2:31:33 pm]rosalita:umm.. sure?

[2:31:51 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you:)

[2:32:16 pm]rosalita:...was that your question?

[2:34:54 pm]mrstickystuation:According to [dating site] you just checked my profile and since i didnt get any IM from you, i'm assuming that you didnt like either what you read or what you see or both. If it's the way i look then to me it's OK :) cause i cannot change or improve it, if it's something i can improve about me then i'd like to know about it:)) Would you let me know what was the main thing that you didnt like in my profile?

[2:35:41 pm]mrstickystuation:I know it's unusual, but it'd help me to understand. Thank you for your time:)

[2:35:45 pm]rosalita:you went to my page first.. so i guess i could say the same about you, no?

[2:37:16 pm]mrstickystuation:as far as i remember when went o your page there was not that little "talking baloon" next to your screen name, so i couldnt say hi.

[2:38:12 pm]mrstickystuation:i'm sorry if i'm bothering and as i said i really wouldnt like to avoid but if you reply that'd be nice actually:)

[2:39:56 pm]mrstickystuation:i mean "i really would like to avoid to bother you":) sorry

[2:41:52 pm]rosalita:no its ok, im at work.. i was on the phone

[2:42:27 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you for being friedly:)

[2:44:57 pm]rosalita:honestly.. when i go to peoples pages.. before anything i always just read what music they like before anything.. 90% of the time if i can connect with someone on music i can hold a conversation with them for forever

[2:51:33 pm]mrstickystuation:hmm and you saw that there is not music part in my profile so you felt like we cannot be compatible?

[2:51:48 pm]rosalita:and when it comes down to it.. you could have messaged me rather than imed me

[2:52:32 pm]rosalita:its the first thing that i look for in people, so pretty much

[2:53:49 pm]mrstickystuation:what makes massege better than IM? dont you think that being able to talk over here, being interactive is far better than just messaging? Cause you and i for ex are not even friends yet so, what could i have to message you before i know you?

[2:55:47 pm]rosalita:youre getting a little question happy for someone that was offended that i didnt message you first when you could have easily messaged me as a regular message first..

[2:57:00 pm]mrstickystuation:by the i've been keep talking because somehow i feel like you are time to talk and you are willing to. If you wanna stop talking pls let me know we can do it right away cause i've promised in the beginning that i'm gonna ask one simple question:) I dont want you think that i'm abusing your good will.

[2:59:23 pm]mrstickystuation:i meant "you have time to talk" damnnn!!! what's wrong with me:)))

[3:04:47 pm]rosalita:im not sure i can really help you on this one bud.. i already told you why i didnt message you..

[3:08:37 pm]mrstickystuation:thank you very much then:)

[3:08:44 pm]mrstickystuation:have a great day:)

[3:09:21 pm]rosalita:you too man..


So that one went from annoying to at least somewhat normal. I now introduce you to the man that caught me so offguard, that I had to call up Brimley because i couldn't even bring myself to text it to him. Seeing as he gave me his name, Mark, I will use it. He also had my favorite suffix to any username: THE NUMBER. We're only a 54% match, but we've managed to be 39% enemies. The Brimz and I are both vegetarian and when we hang out/talk online daily there's a whole lot of vegetarian cuisine discussion (mostly pizza and burritos). There's a section asking about your favorite food on the [dating site] profile and I have in there that I'm vegetarian. Many of my friends aren't, so I put down that my friends tolerate my eating habits. I don't think that a random message should really hate anything to do with my food choices, but this one thinks differently! I realize that probably was the only thing that he and I had in common, but c'mon dude! I also feel as though English probably wasn't Mark's first language. I have no problem with that, except that you shouldn't be trying to communicate via text if that's the case.


[6:06:36 pm]vegetarianmark81:Hi Just reviewed you profile. I seems we have a few things in common in spite of our low match %. Can we chat for a few?

[6:07:28 pm]rosalita:sure

[6:08:09 pm]vegetarianmark81: I how you are fine now regard that injury

[Editor's Note! I stared at the screen after this one. I literally out loud said "I how are you fine now regard that injury.....?]

[6:08:47 pm]vegetarianmark81:what were you doing if you don't mine me asking?

[6:09:15 pm]rosalita:i was at a show and i got a concussion.. i dont even know what you were trying to say before that..

[6:10:30 pm]vegetarianmark81:Sorry. I wanted to know if all is well not regarding the concussion

[6:11:03 pm]rosalita:yeah, it was a while ago.. im fine... you?

[6:11:20 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok thanks

[6:11:48 pm]vegetarianmark81:what's your name if you don't mine me asking?

[6:11:57 pm]vegetarianmark81:Mine is Mark

[6:12:07 pm]rosalita:sorry, i dont give it out

[6:12:34 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok Nickname maybe

[6:13:32 pm]vegetarianmark81:I could just call you beautiful, but you might not deem it appropriate

[Editor's Note! He manages to spell appropriate.... But doesn't know that mine and mind are different words]

[6:13:48 pm]rosalita:yeah no thanks

[6:14:13 pm]vegetarianmark81:Okay..!

[6:14:15 pm]rosalita:you can just call me rosalita, thats fine

[6:15:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:ok rosalita. Have you always been a vegetarian

[6:15:23 pm]rosalita:on and off my whole life

[6:16:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok I see. a "flexitarian"

[6:16:26 pm]rosalita:whatever you want to call it, fine

[6:16:26 pm]vegetarianmark81:That's cool

[6:16:44 pm]vegetarianmark81:...:-) funny

[6:17:59 pm]vegetarianmark81:So initially inspired you to be a sometime be a vegetarian?

[6:18:29 pm]rosalita:do you mean what initially inspired me?

[6:18:45 pm]vegetarianmark81:yes sorry

[6:18:54 pm]rosalita:im sorry, is this all were going to talk about? this isnt really what i set out to have conversations about for times on end..

[6:19:48 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok what what would you rather take about then rosalita?

[6:19:59 pm]rosalita:you imed me, bro

[6:20:17 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ture

[6:21:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:I can just start asking you all personal questions you know

[6:21:19 pm]rosalita:does it seem like i want to answer personal questions?

[6:21:43 pm]vegetarianmark81:that would just be rude. I just want to get to know you

[6:22:04 pm]vegetarianmark81:No

[6:22:50 pm]vegetarianmark81:The name reject was clear enough

[6:24:05 pm]vegetarianmark81:Rosalita are you still there?

[6:25:32 pm]rosalita:i am, but im sorry.. this conversation isnt working out too well..

[6:26:03 pm]vegetarianmark81:Why not?

[6:27:15 pm]vegetarianmark81:Ok let's talk about something different how about that?

[6:28:00 pm]rosalita:no.... im sorry.. thats not happening.. have a good night.. bye..


I really WAS trying to be nice on this one. I just could NOT do it! I realize a name usually is semi-imperative for a 'normal' conversations, but I've got to be honest - I've definitely talked to people in a public social experiment and never got their name/they never got mine. I'd rather someone use my username as a way to address me than call me 'beautiful'. This one was also foiled from the beginning just based on the fact that he couldn't actually use words to communicate. That was a perfect way to end my work day yesterday.

Enjoy

The Day Of Losing Patience

So I do this conversing ordeal while I'm at work. I usually have a block of downtime and I figure I might as well just leave the ol [dating site] open in a tab. I'm beginning to lose patience with this social experiment. I think the fact that these people have clearly had this work in the past is really just driving me insane. The funny part about this is that it's Monday and I haven't done this since Friday - yet I can't deal.

This one had no spelling abilities, no punctuation, and nothing in common with me just set me off. Apparently because he and I live in the same area he thinks that we have something to talk about. I call bullshit.

[10:58:10 am] nopunctuationman19:Goodmorning
[11:00:30 am]rosalita:morning.. howre you?
[11:01:13 am]nopunctuationman19:I am fine thank you how about you?
[11:02:02 am]rosalita:im pretty ok
[11:07:11 am]rosalita:so... what made you im me?
[11:08:18 am]nopunctuationman19:I live in [part of city] you are in [part of city] we are kind if neighbors:)
[11:09:19 am]nopunctuationman19:I like photography you do it!
[11:09:43 am]rosalita:that we are!
[11:15:03 am]rosalita:youre not helping on your end of the conversation here, man..
[11:15:25 am]nopunctuationman19:My iPhone app keeps crashing :(
[11:15:40 am]nopunctuationman19:What r u doing these days? Travelling?
[11:16:52 am]rosalita:no, i didnt have traveling listed on my page either..
[11:18:02 am]nopunctuationman19:Thought you shoot bands that travel! Do u shoot them in [major metropolitan area] or travel with them?
[11:21:58 am]rosalita:they tour for the most part.. i dont really call what i do traveling.. i take a roadtrip for a day or 2.. i dont usually go all that far..
[11:24:08 am]nopunctuationman19:I see at least you get to see a different place :) I just came back from Europe had a 8 day trip
[11:24:20 am]nopunctuationman19:What else are you doing these days?
[11:30:22 am]rosalita:i dont know? i dont really do that much.. i go to shows and i hang out with my friends...
[11:30:52 am]nopunctuationman19:What kind of shows?
[11:31:17 am]rosalita:hardcore... dude this is all on my page..
[11:31:53 am]nopunctuationman19:I know I know what was the last one you saw?
[11:33:29 am]rosalita:disembodied on saturday
[11:38:53 am]nopunctuationman19:Hmm never heard of it:( I love commedy since there is too much stress in my worklife

I very obviously gave up on this one. It's because of conversations like this that I'll completely give up on trying to find humor in any of this. Somehow, somewhere down the line, this lack of effort must have worked on someone lame. Which brings me to this winner. He'd messaged me a few other times and I let it go because he was significantly better looking than most of these morons that find the need to bother me. He very obviously knows/uses this to his advantage. We're 46% enemies, so I obviously wanted to see what he actually had to say to me. He'd imed me at least 2 times before and had no conversation skills.

(11:21:04 pm)badconversationalist81:hi

(11:21:10 pm)rosalita:hi
(11:26:39 pm)rosalita:youre pretty bad at this conversation thing, huh?
(11:26:58 pm)badconversationalist81:hahhah sorry
(11:29:14 pm)rosalita:its ok.. whats going on?
(11:29:38 pm)badconversationalist81:nothing much so your in [part of the city]?
(11:29:43 pm)rosalita:i am
(11:29:51 pm)badconversationalist81:thats far from [major univeristy] huh?

[Editor's Note: he doesn't actually attend said university, he just lives in that area. His profile made that very obvious without actually saying it]

(11:30:06 pm)rosalita:by train? kind of
(11:30:39 pm)badconversationalist81:how far?
(11:31:29 pm)rosalita:no clue, 45/an hour? maybe less maybe more?
(11:32:21 pm)badconversationalist81:wow thats far
(11:32:35 pm)rosalita:i really have no clue.. ive never taken the train there.. im just guessing..
(11:33:18 pm)badconversationalist81:thats far
(11:34:08 pm)rosalita:well i know that as hour is far, yes.. im just saying that i have no clue if thats even right..
(11:37:51 pm)rosalita:you gotta keep this conversation rolling along dude.. youre losing my interest really fast..
(11:38:05 pm)badconversationalist81:yah your 2 far
(11:38:47 pm)rosalita:hah its only funny because i guess you thought we were hanging out when you didnt even bother to ask me my name.. thats cool..

What a surprise! he hasn't imed me since! It's pretty funny when people very obviously read my page and see where I live and then ask me if that's where I live. I have a whole grammar rant on my page so he foiled it within a minute of iming me. He really was screwed from the beginning. Also, did he really think that I'd jump on a train and go hang out with him..? I mean really now.

So, needless to say - I think I need a break! Work will be pretty boring, but I need it for my sanity. Brimley's got a pretty good one brewing up though, so he'll take the horn for a few days. Do I get disability pay now?

Thursday Bonus!

Well, my day's been made! PublicEnemyCreepo has struck again! The first time we met PEC was way back on December 30th (although you only met him yesterday). I feel like it's like its been AGES though! Clearly I was everything he needed, because homeboy couldn't stay away. Normally in the morning when I get into work I open up the [dating site] and update my page so I can send out a few feelers (aka show up on everyones feeds). Today, I pretty much just opened it and forgot about it. Until this happened....

[11:43:14 am]pec:wanna grab drinks and then snuggle tonight?

[11:44:06 am]rosalita:youve got to be kidding me

[11:45:22 am]pec:you are an aggressive little pussy cat.

[11:45:48 am]rosalita:first of all i dont drink, second of all.. if i wont tell you my name - im not going to 'snuggle' with you..

[11:46:41 am]pec:it is understandable, cat

[11:46:56 am]pec:kitty kitty

[11:47:03 am]rosalita:youre just bothering me now..

[11:47:19 am]pec:so click the x at the top of the window

[11:48:26 am]rosalita:yknow what? as much as i dont take orders.. youre enough of a douchebag to actually listen to for something like that..

**Here's where I closed the message. I was just annoyed that he kept referring to me as a feline. As you can probably tell by now, my name isn't actually Rosalita and W. Brimley is not my fine co-blogger's name. I can definitely assure that my name isn't Cat though. There's nothing wrong with the name, I have 2 friends with different variations of the name, but alas.. It's not mine.**

[11:48:36 am]pec :lol

[11:49:15 am]pec:you are cute

[11:49:25 am]pec:cute like pretty


I could have probably gone on with this for a while, but I just didn't care enough. I feel like this might not be the end of him. Stay tuned...

To Catch An Enemy...

Rosie here again! The Brimz and that girl are totally getting married one day. I know it.

So we all remember my redletter day. This conversation below was how that day ended. On my page i made the joke that I'm looking for my enemy and how it was similar to an episode of To Catch A Predator (maybe I should look into changing my page a little bit) [Update: it has been changed]. This dude, I feel like could have maybe been on an actual episode. He'd stalked my page a few times before he imed me because we live in the same area of the same city. The people like this scare me because I know that one day I'll be on the train or walking and see one of these creepos.


[11:28:23 pm] publicenemycreepo:hello

[11:28:35 pm] rosalita:hi

[11:28:52 pm] publicenemycreepo:what you doin?

[11:28:58 pm] publicenemycreepo:did you go out tonight?

[11:29:39 pm] rosalita:youre a little inquisitive for not knowing me, no?

[11:30:22 pm] publicenemycreepo:am i asking too many questions?

[11:31:29 pm] publicenemycreepo:whats your name?

[11:31:50 pm] rosalita:i actually have no interest in telling you that
to be honest

[11:32:25 pm] publicenemycreepo:ok. then. whatever. i think you are weird.

[11:33:09 pm] rosalita:i dont.. youre the one asking me questions like
youre my dad and you dont even know me..

[11:33:45 pm] publicenemycreepo:i am not your daddy. i am not
questioning you. i am getting to know you.

[11:34:45 pm] rosalita:ok saying daddy just brought your creep level
up like 10 points, just fyi..

[11:35:12 pm] publicenemycreepo:like i said, you are not only weird,
you are also paranoid. chill already.

[11:36:31 pm] rosalita:no, im actually not.. but youre the one iming
me talking to me like you know me.. you dont think thats weird, like
at all?

[11:36:58 pm] publicenemycreepo:i am just being friendly.

[11:37:07 pm] publicenemycreepo:i do not like being too formal.

[11:38:14 pm] rosalita:yeah.. well.. i am..

[11:38:46 pm] publicenemycreepo:go for it.

[11:39:49 pm] rosalita:no need for permission here

[11:40:14 pm] publicenemycreepo:hrr

Anti-climactic ending right!? Jerk. If only half of these people knew about this blog, they'd be honored to just be mentioned. But alas, they never care enough to even learn my real name.

So anyway, why stop there for the day right? This one...... What do I say about this one? I've found that acting completely uninterested and annoyed doesn't really stop people in most cases. I've turned it up to just being a straight up bitch. These conversations usually only last a few minutes, but the memories are really what I'm in it for.


[11:54:15 am]germansockman:hello fraulein

[11:58:02 am]rosalita:excuse me?

[11:58:37 am]germansockman:its german lady

[11:58:52 am]germansockman:see i know that much german

[11:59:06 am]rosalita:yeah ok, im not german and i dont speak it..

[12:00:35 pm]germansockman8:getting any good IMs ?

[12:02:32 pm]rosalita:not currently

[12:03:23 pm]germansockman:lame dudes, no one is asking u about fetishs and crap

[12:04:15 pm]rosalita:no, and if they did id stop talking to them

[12:05:07 pm]germansockman:well give it some time u just might jump out of
ur socks, when they start IMing u that stuff

[12:05:23 pm]germansockman:me personally i hate feet

[12:05:40 pm]rosalita:well then you should keep yours on

I actually have a whole rant on my page about people and grammar. One specific point is that I don't want people to message me if they use u instead of you (a common string in the friendship of the blog owners). I could live without text speak on the internet, but clearly others don't feel the same.

My last one for today is another one to bring home to Mom. It was pretty obvious for this one that he just went to my page and read nothing on it because he'd messaged me in the same minute that he'd viewed my page. If you hadn't noticed, I'm pretty wordy and so is my profile. I hadn't even gotten a chance to view this guy's page. I guess we live in the same area and he though that I had nothing better to do that night but to see him. Somehow, he and I are only 11% enemies. Oh, and something about having numbers after your name when the first part of yuor name is very unimpressive to me so when I changed his name - I added a few.

[3:37:45 pm]afterhours123:hi. how are you?

[3:38:19 pm]rosalita:im all right, you?

[3:38:51 pm]afterhours123:not bad

[3:38:56 pm]afterhours123:I like your profile

[3:39:01 pm]afterhours123:What's your take on mine?

[3:40:06 pm]rosalita:i havent seen yours

[3:45:16 pm]rosalita:so what made you im me?

[3:45:48 pm]afterhours123:Looking for a girl to connect with after work hours

[3:45:54 pm]afterhours123:So, what do you think?

[3:46:37 pm]rosalita:not on your life buddy

[3:47:08 pm]afterhours123:ok


These people make me wish I had Juggalos messaging me.

What is a Juggalo? No, Seriously, what IS that?

W. Brimley making a rare appearance on this fine blog. It seems to me Rosie has her damn hands FULL with the crazies. Who would have thought that the guys on would be crazier than the ladies!?

Well, at least this one is a doozie!

So I took it upon myself to update my profile a few days ago to reflect my dislike of one of the most misunderstood and completely useless fractions of humanity. The Juggalo. Now if you're part of the uninitiated, that is the fan of Insane Clown Posse. Now these fans are completely die-hard, any sports fan would be shamed by a Juggalo by their shear intensity!
A little background, your average Juggalette (the female faction of the Juggalos), is generally, shall we say...a bit "out of shape" though, a blob is still technically a shape. You can tell them easily, with their "hatchet man" gear and excessive use of the word "ninja." The Juggalette that contacted me was not a diamond in the rough in Juggalo culture, the water-buffalo that decided to send herself my way was exactly what you would expect...let me paraphrase her note:

"HeY NiNJA,
WheRe dA F*Ck do U GeT oFF BaGGiN' ON my NiNjAZ?!
JuGgAlo FAmiLY RepREZenT! I WoULdnT F*Ck u if U PaID me!
JuGGAlo LuV is BettA tHen UR emo ASS! F*Ck emos.
U'D BetTA ChanGE YA proFIle or I'M GoNNA HaVe mah NiNJAZ in
FinD U. U'll DEal Wit DA HATCHET.
PeaCE & LuV
MZ. WilDa-BeASt"

Now, first off...it pains me to look at what she wrote almost as much as it pains me to look at her pictures. Obviously her name was changed to protect the (not so) innocent, but I must say, the name I've given her is quite fitting. I digress...the typing...oh the typing. The fact that is rife with spelling errors, self-censorship and usage of the letter "U" for "you" can be looked over for one reason, she typed her message in alternating capitals, though there is no set rule to how she typed it. Certain words that are repeated are capitalized at random in different places. I'm wondering if there is some sort of program, hell, even babelfish that translates English to Juggalo, that she uses. She refers to ME as "ninja" am I a closet ICP fan? Not that I know of, but hey, she must think so! Her threats of possible death by hatchet are laughable. Another thing, the whole "fuck emos" part. Well, I'll reveal this. I wear glasses, without them I am blind. Plastic black framed glasses are cheap as hell! These are not the huge grandma glasses that are the toast of the town all over the country, so it's interesting. It's actually the first time I've ever been called "an emo" and frankly, it's hilarious!

I wasn't quite sure what to say back to her, so I responded simply. "What is a Juggalo?"

4 days later...no response. I guess she's just not that "down with the clown."

2010 - The Year of Awesomeness..

So 21010 is here. None of us (well at least the Brimmmmzzzz and myself) were offed for New Year's, so you're all in luck. I got some fun IMs today on the ol' unnamed dating site which I'm storing for some future posts. I got one yesterday asking me why a pretty girl like myself is on a dating site. Instead of telling him its purely for blog research, I told him the original reason. I said of course that I was forced by my friends and I was really just mocking the idea of it. I feel like he would have been into the blog, but there was no way I was giving the name to him. I mean, a girl's got to keep some things private!

I was telling my friend John Brown about my plethora of IMs for today and heres how that conversation went down:

John Brown: did anyone profess their love to you immediately?
today at least
Senorita Rosalita: hahah not since sam
how much did we love sam!?
JB: so much
SR: SO MUCH
JB: dammit, i should have used all caps

We all know that Sam is really my unicorn in this whole Social Research Project, but goddamn, we so love him. I really think that no one will top him, but if I ever get a hankering for a bowl of noodles, I know who to call...

xo
