Why do all my Match.com matches look like rapists?
aimee-b-loved:
Should I be worried? Do I look like a rapist?
I think that’s normal for Match.com. Never been on the site myself, but it seems like the kind of place where you’d find a lot of stalkers and rapists.

vinnieme:
Yeah, I made this.
I feel somewhat guilty now. Well, I did write shit about it on my blog, so to speak. It wasn’t really about the stars, more about the bad behavior that came with the chase for more and more stars.

Favstar, @debihope, and pathetic behavior
I guess I’ve been holding myself fairly neutral in the whole @debihope business. Until now. Let’s get a few things straight. If you in any way condone giving an application bad reviews because you have some beef against its developer or publisher, you ought to be shot flogged. Favit is an awesome app. It works well, does its job, and it is pretty damn neat. Want to ruin someone’s...

I’m a little shocked by this revelation. Has it always been this way?
I am unsure of which revelation you speak, although if you are referring to my proclaimed agnosticism, then why are you shocked? What did you truly expect me to answer?
Do you believe in Thor and Odin?
As stated before, I am an agnostic. That said, I am definitely a bigger fan of...

Long story short: a small group of petty and disgruntled people are leaving sabotaging messages about Favit on iTunes.

Do you believe in God?
I think I would classify myself as an agnostic, so until someone comes up with some compelling evidence I will not believe in any deity. I prefer to worship my friends, happiness, love, and other somewhat more or less tangible elements of my reality.

When I was at Target, they were $59.99 each and I haven’t seen them on sale anywhere…BUT I just searched the internet and Amazon has them both on sale for $39.99 so I thought it was worth it to get both. Normally I wouldn’t buy 2 games so ‘matter-of-factly’ but between Christmas and my birthday in 3 weeks, I have a little gift...
I'm asking for help
favstar:
Apple finally turned iTune’s updates on again today. As it turns out, a couple of factually inaccurate 1 star hate driven reviews have been left for Favit. One of them has been voted up to the top position in the store with 4 votes.
If you’ve used Favit and enjoy it, I’d greatly appreciate if you could open iTunes, mark this review as NOT helpful, and ‘report a concern’ about it....

All morning, thanks to monkeyfrog, it was leprosy.
Guys, don’t do a Google image search on leprosy. It’s not okay.
Other image search phrases to avoid include:

TAMALES-A Family Affair
coachbaby4:
Yesterday the family got together to make Tamales. Me and my three older sister all went to our parents house for the event. Ah, and then the fun begins. Being Mexican, any time the whole family gets together….well it’s always kind of crazy.
The day starts with me over at the local Mexican Market, in the dry chile aisle that’s covers the entire length of this massive store. Ah,...

Santa hat
So tumblr decided to put a Santa hat on me. Was it because I used the #xmas hashtag?

Went to the store after work to get some pineapple juice.

He looks at me. Asks:

Your one wish for Christmas
If you could get one wish for Christmas, what would it be?
I would have to go with my grandma’s Swedish Meatballs. She passed away a few years back, so I guess that’s not happening. Best dish ever! Well, that and my grandma to be around to make them for me, of course.

Did you participate in Kalle Anke when in Sweden, which I understand entails watching Donald Duck and his friends on Christmas Eve?
Yes, and it’s actually “Kalle Anka.” It’s basically a number of excerpts from Disney movies that are all presented by Jiminy Cricket.

Were you crying over the loss of the cat more than that of the girlfriend? Is it possible to sue for joint custody?
Yes, I crying over the loss of my cat. It’s probably possible, but we had two cats, they were from the same litter and they grew up together, so they both left with my girlfriend because we didn’t want to split them up. I was very sad to see him go.

For some reason I just want to know more and more about you. Do you mind giving out information when you don’t know who’s asking?
I really don’t mind that much. If people want to stalk me I am all over the Internet, including foursquare.com.

Do we come off as desperate to you?
For the past week I have been getting emails from pretty much every single online retailer that I have ever purchased anything from. At least one email per day. Wouldn’t it have been more prudent to save all these deals and just send me one email towards the end?
favstar:
So, today was pretty depressing really. Of the 11.5k followers @favstar has over on twitter, there’s 20 - 50 who like the criticism without the constructive.
I’m thinking about setting up an advisory group. To 1) give feedback on new ideas, 2) to bring in some level heads to help me figure out how to handle abuse.
You could always run screaming for the hills like Allen did! ;) Nah,...

If you aren’t familiar with southern family values around the holidays, let me show you what your are luckily missing.
12/19 Christmas with mother. She’s the blacksheep so that’s seperate from the rest of the family. She’s a recovering alcoholing so no alcohol is involved.
12/20 Christmas with close friends/coworkers. Damn blue laws mean no alcohol purchased on Sunday. Plus the...

You ARE interesting. You DON’T suck. You DON’T have a huge ego and people DO care. Thought it was worth saying. Also, hug.

you arent interesting. you suck. you have a huge ego and you think people care. trust me, we dont. we think you are worthless. do you agree? - Steve Jenkins, Topeka, KS 785.234.2644
I disagree. I keep getting questions that prove that other people find me interesting enough.

Do you ever want to know who is asking you all these questions? Does it matter to you? Why are you so interesting?
I wonder who’s asking the questions, yes. When someone is asking questions like this one it piques my interest and I want to find out who the person behind the question is.
Let me paraphrase that question for you: Why do you find me so interesting?

Do Swedish people celebrate Christmas & New Year’s? What are your plans?
We do celebrate Christmas although with a slight modification: Our main day is Christmas Eve. Presents are traditionally handed out by Santa in the evening. Christmas Day is mostly a boring family affair without many festivities. Our family usually had Thanksgiving style turkey for Christmas Day...

What was your childhood like? What do you do for a living? Name one unfulfilled dream. (I like to get multiple questions in at once cause I’m nosy.)
My childhood was great. Spent it in rural Sweden, roaming the countryside like a prepubescent Robin Hood building forts and tree houses.
I work as a software developer for a business publishing company in Charlotte, NC.

Why do people ask you such stupid questions? Do you think they see your username as an invitation?
I suppose it might have something to do with the particular sphere of the twitterverse that I happen to inhabit. A lot of esoteric jokes floating around, most of them from people I know. I do appreciate the straight-up questions more, since then I get to write a sincere answer....

If you could live anywhere in the world, were would it be? Why?
I would like to live in Wales. Why? Because it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are over 200 above ground ruins to explore along with a rich, and teeming cultural heritage that is being preserved to date. There are several gorgeous places that I would prefer, most of them around the...

OK, I have to ask. WHY didn’t you feel free in Sweden? Did you want a handgun that badly?
I think it’s more of a cultural freedom than anything else. I just feel that the American lifestyle and the American way is less of a burden. To get back to the second part of your question: I did indeed want to own a handgun, always have, although it had little to do with my...
