Who are you?

There are no words.
Which Annoying B-list Celebrity Are You?
Brought to you by Rum and Monkey.

Wow, I must be far more annoying than I ever imagined...


One thing that has shocked me since being in Singapore is the absolutely appalling customer service on display in corporate environments. Think Starhub, California Fitness or any other Singaporean store I have a grudge against more so than your local hawker. In the case of Starhub, my provider for all things communicative, I was so outraged by their blatant lack of helpfulness that I wanted to move to another provider. Sadly, I swallowed my pride and signed on up because they were the only provider that could do everything for me... I'm so weak. I've not been to very many countries (yet) but so far I've found the service here to be intolerably poor in many places (again, small shops don't count because they rely on you). Thus Singapore now holds the distinction of having the poorest customer service of any country I've been to.

What about you guys? Which country really gets your goat as far as poor service goes?

Tell me what you want, what you really really want...

Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"

You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)

Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic

What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays

Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get


Haha, had to laugh coz an Internet quiz can basically sum me up. I'm a total romantic at heart but the minute you ask me for it I get turned off. Don't ask me for it, and you've got it. I must say though the title "Get Real" makes me sound like a bit of a hardass.

Release the Nerds

If I ever go missing I would like the nerds of the world to unite. Their search methods are well within the realms of the home PC user and could actually result in me being found. Now if I can just do something nerd-worthy to get them excited enough to want to find me...

I'm off probation, you're on it.

You hate to say that someone else's life should be the stuff of entertainment but in the blogosphere it seems as though those two are one and the same. The following link is to the memoirs of a female, ex-DC Comics employee that really went through the wringer over the last couple of years and some preceding. What she has written is part expose, part cautionary tale and all tear-inducing heart-splitting mind-boggling tour through a life in and of comics for a woman. Start from the bottom up. It has comics, rape and broken vaginas, as if I haven't got you interested already. This lady (I've withheld the name in case she wants some semblance of privacy) writes in an engaging way and I can't recommend it highly enough. Certainly it was enough to get me thinking about what I read and what kind of politics it espouses.

SL told me tonight that I once sent her a curt email asking her not to send me "funny" emails with massive attachments. Now this was a few years ago, before the advent of massive inboxes and I think I had some justification for said request as I was living overseas and rarely got to check my email. Something like that may not seem like a big deal. In fact it probably honestly isn't. In the late nineties and early days of the new millenium we all sent out an email like that to someone at some point right? The point being that small or not, it was a bit of a jerk thing to do to someone that just wanted to make me laugh. So come one, come all, inundate me with your funniest crap. I promise that I will maybe look at it.
