So I figured it was about time for me to update. I absolutely fail at keeping this damn thing up-to-date.
Okay, so to start with, I'm now working. I got a job as a content monitor at Lavalife. So basically, I make sure that everything that is posted online and on the txt msg service and recorded on the phone service is within the guidelines. This includes pictures and profiles, both in English and Spanish, but not messages between members. It's actually really surprising how many people can't follow simple rules. I've also found out that good spelling is a rarity amongst North Americans.
And holy shit, can people not speak at all. The phone service is where you hear some of the best stuff. We have two different phone services: Night Exchange and Lavalife. Night Exchange is exactly what it sounds like. It's for people who want to find people to hook up with. There are definitely people on here who have no limits and are pretty out there. Lavalife is different. There are three different categories: Relationship, Dating, and Intimate. Relationship is for long-term, and people range from normal to crazy ("I'm looking for my soul mate," "We'll live happily ever after," and so on). Dating is for anything from people looking for friends, for someone to go out to movies or bowling with, and so on. And then there's Intimates. So there's a few sub-categories in this one: Singles seeking singles, Singles seeking intimate encounter, Singles seeking couples, Couples seeking singles, Couples seeking couples, Attached seeking singles, Singles seeking attached, Attached seeking discreet intimate encounter, Bi-curious, Domination and Submission, and Fetishes. Yeah, you can just tell what kinda of people you find one this one.
And for some reason, everyone in those categories says the same thing wrong. I can't figure out why they all say they're light or dark skinded or complected. Do people even know what they're saying??? It drives me nuts!!
Anyways, here's a few of the funny ones from both the web and the phone line. I'll try to keep the original spelling, but I may have altered it when I copied it down, sorry:
- I live alone, I sells cars in USA am the owner of my cars sell company. and single.
- Just like to meet a women....with a goal for long term relations in harmony and fun to with around my age. slim or athletic
- I am Rakesh and I want to make girl friend for a night..I also like the hot girls
- I want to diet with more girls, I didnt do sex with ladies till now......I want to see your hole body without dress on
- Dear God, In the end, please send me a powerfully feminine woman. Best if she is formally educated, prosperous in outlook and fun.
- I hate cops. They don't believe in fairy tales.
- I like all kinds of things. Like cool things, and wicked things.
- I am looking for serious relations for family creation.
Yeah, people are just awesome. And I think those are all from only two or three shifts.
All this makes for some interesting conversations at work. I'm pretty sure in most workplaces you can't have a huddle with three of the supervisors and debate if "slut" and "whore" are derogatory or if they should be allowed, and if they should be allowed, then under what circumstances. Also, whether or not "cunt" is appropriate in any way at all. I'm pretty sure that this is also the only place where you have to know the difference between "group sex" and "orgy" (both allowed) and "gang bang" (not allowed). It's also the only place where you can learn sex terms you never knew you needed to know. For example, "circle jerk". That conversation went something like this:
Susana: Supervisor, what's a circle jerk?
Supervisor: It's when a bunch of guys stand in a circle and jerk themselves off. Gay guys do it.
Susana: Then why is a girl saying she wants guys who do that.
Supervisor: Well, some girls like to kneel in the middle and have guys cum all over their face....
Susana: Eww.
Supervisor: Yeah, I know. But she's looking for more than one guy, so it's not allowed on our server. Unless she wants to collect the guys one by one and ask them to cum on her face...
Yeah, that's a regular workday. Of course, this conversation was also being held in a regular volume in a quiet room. I've also discovered the value of Urban Dictionary.
On the plus side, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make me blush.
Anyways, moving on. So I've also joined the gym. I joined Premiere Fitness this time. And I'm hoping it'll be different this time. For starters, it's coming out of my account, so I'll feel it this time if I don't go and get charged for something I'm not using. Secondly, I'm paying for a specialized program in which I have to see a personal trainer twice a week and see a dietitian once a week. I also get a personalized meal plan. According to them, if I follow what they tell me, I should lose about 40 lbs in 3 months. If I manage to lose the 40 lbs, then they'll pay for the following three months (same program) so I can lose another 40 lbs. If I can lose 80 lbs (or close to it) in 6 months, they'll then use my pic for their ads and success stories posters. So I'm hoping it all goes according to plan, because that would mean that by next summer I'll be 80 lbs lighter. I'm so buying a whole new wardrobe!! Well, I'll kinda have to, since nothing will fit me. I also can't wait until I can wear my heels and cork sandals every day, I miss them.
So I'm also planning a big New Year's Eve party. I'm getting beer kegs and everything. The only thing I hate is that people who have said they're coming have put "maybe" on facebook. It drives me absolutely nuts that people do that. It makes it seem like there only 6 people coming (what facebook says), when I know so far there are at least double that. But when there are only a few people on the event, it makes other people not want to come because it looks like a small get-together instead of a big party. it also pisses me off that people have called rooms, but have put "maybe." So if you're not sure, why have you called a room??
I also have to start planning the Xmas dinner, which I know is going to be another headache. So I've decided to make my life easier for that one: if you don't tell me by the date I mentioned, you're left out, and it's not my problem. Also, it won't be my problem if you have nowhere to sleep, since I'm making it so that if you haven't said you're coming, then you can't call a room.
Actually, I think I'm gonna do that for New Year's too. It'll only be fair that those who confirmed their attendance get first dibs at a room. So I'll msg those that have called them and tell them they have to be confirmed, or they lose the rooms. There are a few guys from work coming too, and I'm not sure where I'm putting them.
That's another thing that's driving me crazy: the guys at work. It's almost like I'm some novelty for the Latin guys, since I'm the only single Latin girl there, and these are the kinds of guys that like dating Latin girls. But still, holy, calm down people!! I'm not gonna date you!!
And even more crazy, one of the guys at work keeps propositioning me for sex. He's also made it clear that if at any point I really want to have sex, just txt him and he'll meet me. Anytime, anywhere. He's also all for being my fuck buddy. It's both flattering and uncomfortable. I guess it's good to know he's there, though. You never know when you'll need to msg him!! Then again, he did promise to set me up with one of his friends, so we'll see how that goes.
So moving on. I've actually started writing my book. I already have two chapters online. It's not the fantasy one I'd started. I had to put that one aside for now. Instead, I'm working on a crime thriller, and I have some pretty good ideas for it. I also put up three short stories onto the site, and I'm really happy because people commented positively on them. They've also voted for them and put them as their faves. What makes me the happiest, though, is those people who have put me as favourite author, or have put me on alert, so they get an email or txt notice whenever I update a story or post a new one.
This is the site: http://www.textnovel.com/profile_view.php?user_id=7568 Feel free to go read the stories. There is a chance you might have to register to see them, but really, it takes like 2 minutes, and you know you want to read my stories and support them like a good friend!! So register!!
I'm not gonna write the synopsis for the short stories, but here's the one for the multi-chapter crime thriller, called "In The Midst Of Lies":
"When Kate Miller's best friend Ellen's death is ruled accidental, she doesn't believe it. Feeling that something isn't adding up, she convinces Det. Jason Lunievski to take a second look at the case. What they find leads them to a world of greed, power, and deception. But when the same people that cause Ellen's death target Kate and Jason, will they make it out alive?"
Sound good?? Go read!!
I'm also working on a Twilight fan fiction story. I've actually read thousands on fan fiction stories in the last year, and some of them are amazing!! I think I've got a good idea for mine, and I really hope it turns out well. I'd love it if people read it, and I'm hoping to get some sort of following for it. I've got an outline for about 30-32 chapters right now. I'll write it for a bit, and then post it. I'll update with the link once it's up, in case anyone wants to read it. It'd be great if I could at least have a few fans.
Okay, so this has gotten long, and I still have to type up the fan fic character sheets I've done. Also, I've got ideas for the next chapter of In The Midst of Lies, so I should get on that. And I work tomorrow, so I should head to bed soon!!!
Anyways, go read my stories. They're something I love and am proud of, not necessarily because I think they're the best, but because I'm finally getting them out there. Even if they suck (which I really don't think they do, not too badly, at least), practice makes perfect, right?? They can only get better from here!!
Anyways, stopping now. Bye bye.
Susana
