Puzzy Livejournal en italiano! (Don't you love my horrible butchered Italian? Julia help!)

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 20:57:57 GMT

So it's about time I updated with some pictures of where I live and all. If you don't already know, I'm living with a family in Torino, Italy. I take care of the three girls: Eleonora who is 15, Eugenia who is 13, and Elisabetta who is 9. I've been here a month or so and life is good. We live in Torino, but up in the hills a bit which is quite a prestigious place to live I've been told (like the hills of Hollywood I guess?) Umm, here are some pictures of where I live.

Pictures of my Italian family's house, where I spend the most time

Pictures of my room and my little house. It's like a guest house in relation to the main one.

Aaaaand, here are some things I've noticed while living here:

- No, Americans' impression of Italians is not exaggerated...they eat a LOT of pasta. And pizza, pork, and gelato (ice cream).
- It is very hard to find a public toilet. And many of them are simply a hole in the ground...you feel slightly accomplished after using it.
- Torino has very very very good kabobs.
- I can't get used to the computer keyboards. GRR. The letters are all in their regular place, but all the other symbols are jumbled. The apostrophe is up with the numbers, the quotations mark is with the number 2, the question mark is up with the apostrophe, the @ sign is where the apostrophe should be except with an Alt Gr, which is used when there are three symbols on one key. AHHHH. I hate it. Good thing I have my laptop here that I can use sometimes.
- They do not have orange (cheddar) cheese.
- The host of Italian TRL is hot.
- Everything closes on Monday (even the H&M doesn't open until 3pm). It's some sort of extension of Sunday. Except it's more likely that things are open on Sunday than on Monday.
- You must pay to drive on the interstate. Similar to tolls. Except you take a ticket when you enter the motorway and pay depending on how far you drive.

Mika.

Porno and Pregnancies (sounds like the title of a Jerry Springer episode)

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 19:21:28 GMT

So, check out this picture. It was posted by one of my facebook friends...a girl I used to work with. Background on this girl: she's been pregnant like 3 times in the past 8 months (not that it really matters, it's just annoying when she can't lift anything or even work an entire shift because she's 1 month pregnant. It affects me. And why would an 18-year-old girl be ecstatic about having a baby...unless she wasn't really pregnant in the first place? *cough* attention whore. And even if she was telling the truth, people I know don't usually announce a pregnancy to the entire world until they're more than 1 month pregnant...or they've at LEAST told their PARENTS. OH, and she's supposedly on birth control. *shakes head* Making her poor boyfriend drop out of school only for her to "miscarry".)

I think this picture is from her recent photoshoot. She's going to be a model you know.

Now WHY THE HELL would you post this on facebook?! I only saw it because I was looking at my album and this picture popped up on the side of my screen advertising her model-whore pictures! HAVE SOME FUCKING SELF-RESPECT. PUT SOME CLOTHES ON. You'd think her boyfriend would be embarrassed. If you want to put pictures of yourself

Our society is so used to objectifying women that we don't stop and think: 'Hey, she's almost naked.' And instead, the women think: 'If I look sexy, then guys will give me more attention.' And I say: I want a guy to like me because I have a wonderful personality and I can stimulate them intellectually...not because I put my boobs on display. When girls act like whores, it gives women everywhere a bad reputation and raises men's sexual expectations. They expect girls to have sex before marriage...hell, they expect girls to put out after a month. I know I've been dumped because I refused to sleep with a guy, and I know I'm not the only one. Girl, tuck your boobs back in, pull your pants back on and stop giving a free show. Don't you respect yourself?

Besides, it would gross me out to think that some 50-year-old man is jacking off to my picture during his lunch break.

So, because I am who I am...I couldn't resist

And she sent me a message back:

It's no surprise that she deleted my comment. Some coked up guy named Adam Jackson (who likes to stick his head between girls' boobs) commented and called me a bitch. Oooooh. I'm scared. Big deal. I know I'm a bitch.
Am I in the wrong here?! Don't you all think that's slutty?

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:35:04 GMT

When I'm bored and I have nothing else to do online, I venture to Craigslist.com. Now my favorite section of this website is the "Missed Connections" page, where people (mostly pathetic guys) try and find that hot girl they 'shared some looks with' at the red light or saw walking through the WalMart. And I don't know if all of these are real or if some people are just posting funny shit on here (cause that's what I would do)...but it's funny.

TODAY'S WINNER: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...Tractor Supply romance...hahha

Tractor Supply -- Franklin - m4m - 54
Tuesday, 7/11 around 10-11 a.m. As I was walking out of the store, our eyes met long enough to know. Yours were the most intense blue. Great smile too. Me: Tall, handsome, bearded guy in a green shirt. Was it real?

Here are some of my other favorites that I found today.

Exit 201 off I40w...river road....red mustang/ blonde - m4w - 34
I drive home the same route everyday, river road around 815am....I pass a smokin hot, gorgeous blond driving a red stang....
If you read this, I find your choice in cars to be excellent and by the way, you are gorgeous and would love to take you back to my place for dinner...and then I will teach you how to drive a stick for real....

The Farmer's Market - M4M
Our eyes met... you smiled, I smiled and said hi. I'm male, brown hair, stache, and was with my boyfriend. You male, tall, blonde, piercing eyes, and nervously whispered hello. You watched me as I walked away. You were with your wife and kids so I refrained from speaking to you. My boyfriend played with a melon while I bent over and squeezed some peaches. He said you giggled. I turned and saw your wife again, so I walked away but I can't continue to act like the passion wasn't there for us both; my guess is neither can you. I'll be back at the market on Sunday squeezing peaches and thumping melons. This passion will not die I must have you. Meet me at the market you know who I am and I know who you are.

Today at Lunch in our cars in the park - m4w - 37
We were parked next to each today at lunch today in Moss Wright park. You were in an Altima, I think. You spent the entire time lying all of the way back in your seat, playing with your phone and your blond hair. You kept putting your gorgeous feet out of the window, an all over the steering wheel and dash. I couldn't take my eyes off of you. Let's meet again, but this time in the same car.

Mufreesboro Verizon- Monday July 11- M4M
We were at Verizon, you needed tech support, and I was paying bill. You got out of your truck with Morning wood. We waited outside until the store opened. I couldn't beleive the size of it. I was so horny after seeing you. When the monster rises again, I hope I am there to enjoy the sweet eruption of morning bliss washing down my throat. Even if I am not there, I will definitely dream about it. If you are not the guy at Verizon, you should send a photo of yourself if you respond!

"At the corner Store"
you- tall, something on your mind. me- with big gulp. I think you misunderstood what I was saying while we were in line. If you are interested in "understanding what I'm saying" let me know.

You walked out and stole the show... - m4w - 37
I was waiting for someone to come out of Krogers, at the front entrance- you were tall, well-built, blonde, tight everywhere, with a nice tan/slightly red skin. You had skin-tight jeans with a studded belt, hip-huggers, and a white t-shirt. You stunned me the moment my eyes crossed you, and held my attention as you carefully secured your small purchase on the back of your Harley (parked in a striped zone, next to a handicapped space). That done, you mounted the beast, tight arse and great legs obvious to anyone lucky enough to see them. You pulled out and took my lusty interest with you as you left. Damn my lack of action- I should have stepped out of my white 2005 Trailblazer and said something- ANYTHING to you. Told you how incredible you looked. Told you how I'd love to have skipped work that night to spend time with you. Anything, except what I did- nearly drool while watching you leave.
If you were this person, and you're interested, email me, please. Frankly, I want you.

*dies* HAHAHAHAHA

Things....all health related actually...hmm

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 05:49:03 GMT

1. I quit smoking. --> www.cigarrest.com

2. Monday I had the worst case of food poisoning in the entire world. My mother actually drove 45 minutes to kidnap me so I wouldn't die.

3. I have a parasite. A pork tapeworm...quite rare in the US. And actually very dangerous. With my luck it figures that I would get a rare tapeworm, and get the one tapeworm that makes you gain weight instead of lose. But at least they've finally figured out what was making me so sick. I have to take medication for A YEAR. ARGH. And at least I can finally get back to my normal activities (which includes livejournal and you kids). ^_^

4. I have sworn off most meat. After the food poisoning incident I am not eating ANYTHING questionable. And not that I ate much pork in the first place, but after catching this pork tapeworm, I will eat NO PORK. And no beef. And only fish that I cook myself. And little chicken. And I'm not drinking soda because it's evil. I'm not putting anything artificial into my body.

5. I had colon hydrotherapy (colonics, whatever you call it) done. Alot of people think it sounds really gross and it felt a bit weird...but I felt 10 pounds lighter after I had it done and my stomach looked noticable smaller. Plus your digestive system is the most important system in your body, so it's nice to keep it healthy. And it wasn't expensive. I would recommend it to all of you!

6. I gained 50 pounds since last summer...must lose it!!!! I have maxed out Aeropostale and Target. That's kind of depressing. I think I'll keep up with my weight loss in my journal. Anyone else trying to lose weight? I could use a buddy. ^_^

Our apartment buildings are being painted. Let me show you.

GREEN, BLUE, AND YELLOW. ?!?!?!?! What the hell kind of crack was someone on when they came up with this?! SERIOUSLY?!

I think they looked fine before, but now they look like either: A) A My Little Pony Nursery B) Vacation condos in Florida C) An Easter Egg. And there are *16* of these buildings. I mean, what the fuck?!

Fri, 12 May 2006 08:59:52 GMT

So I'm on Myspace looking up obscure French music when I suddenly get THREE messages. Unusual for me. One is from a band, and the other two turn out to be from stupid horny guys. I couldn't help myself...I had to be mean.

I decided not to be so mean to this guy cause his profile was ridiculously lame. I just want to bait him enough for him to message me back so I can be REALLY mean and tell him that he looks like a homosexual.

Oh, you all have to check out the MUSIC on my profile. It FUCKING ROCKS. It's African Hip-Hop...and is better than 99% of the popular English music. I love it.

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 02:37:46 GMT

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.
I received the letter B from forthesky. If you want a letter, just comment.

Blue Coast Burrito: The best place to eat EVER. You can get a quesadilla, chips, fruit tea, brownie, and the little squares of gum for $6. Whoo!

Bones: I LOVE this show. That's about all.

Black: At one point in high school, all of my clothes were black.

Binky: I had these friends (guys) that would play a game entitled Binky. It consisted of them punching each other in the balls and yelling "Binky!" It was a dumb game.

Brooke: It's my name. Duh.

Brian Molko: is a genius. And very pretty. His music is amazing and if I ever met him I would probably ramble incoherently looking for the right words to say.

Barbie: Is awesome because everything she has is pink.

Ben Folds: I fucking love this band. He lives somewhere in Nashville y'know...I've met a few people who have stalked him. Someday I'll go to a Ben Folds concert.

Bjork: Another musical genius. Saw her in concert 8 years ago.

Blinky: I really wanted to be taking an Astronomy test and when we were required to name a star, I wanted to name it "blinky". But my Astronomy test is multiple choice. Damn.

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 01:01:09 GMT

I hate myself right now. I fail at life. I can't wake up on time for *anything* and I'm afraid I'll make C's in my classes. And I break everything I own.

Last night I accidentally knocked over my drink on my BRAND NEW FUCKING COMPUTER. My $1,400 Sony Viao laptop that I got three weeks ago. (I'm on my old laptop right now with the fucked up internet connection). I'm SO fucking mad at myself. I immediately turned off the computer and took out the battery, then I spent 2 hours turning it upside down and sticking paper towels in between the keys to try and get all the water out. I still haven't turned it back on so I have no idea if it works. And I don't know anyone who has ever dumped a drink on their laptop...so I don't know what to expect. I cried for an hour last night. This sucks.

Now I'm watching American Idol. And I must make new predictions. My old predictions have expired.

Will be voted off 4/26: ~~Paris~~ Wrong. Correct: Kellie
Will be voted off 5/4: ~~Chris~~Wrong. Correct Paris
Will be voted off 5/11: ~~Kellie~~ Wrong. Correct Chris
Will be voted off 5/18: Katharine
Runner Up: Elliott
Winner: Taylor

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 02:24:49 GMT

What I would like to say to each American Idol Contestant after tonight's performance.

Chris: You Brad Pitt-ish good looks are not fooling me; you can't sing anything except Nickelback-sounding mediocre rock songs.
Paris: You were born to sing jazz. I love you.
Taylor: Please marry me.
Elliott: In case you don't get voted off this week, can you please kill yourself before next week and spare me?
Kellie: Your Lizzie McGuire bangs do not hide your hideous southern accent. PS. You look anorexic. Stop singing.
Ace: *stares* If you fuck me, I'll take back every bad things I've ever said about you. Ace = HOT.
Katharine: Aren't you done pretending to be Kelly Clarkson? We have enough generic white girls in the music business. Oh, and you ruined that song.

Love, Brooke.

So the layout for my new RP character's journal, (the character that still has not been approved yet, AHEM)....I think it officially looks better than mine. For my limited knowledge of livejournal coding and *especially* graphics making, I think I did pretty damn good.

I took this Premade LJ Layout (birdlayout), and turned it into THIS: devonrocks.

Now it is 6am...I've managed to stay up all night working on this. Oh well, at least I installed my new graphics software and figured out how it worked. OH, and that picture....on the left side, the real picture ended at his knee, but it didn't fit so I had to draw the rest in. Can you tell? Does it look bad / obvious?

So, I am typing to you from my brand new computer! And I loves it so much. It's a Sony Vaio that has a huge honkin screen. 15 1/2 ". Gosh. But it's so little and thin and cute and ACTUALLY WORKS.

I saw a license plate yesterday that said "SHNGAMI". I was like 'hell yeah'. But I couldn't remember if it meant 'God of War' or 'God of Death'. ? I'm thinking that it's the war and I'm getting death from Deathscythe. I don't know.

I bought the new Placebo CD, "Meds", on Tuesday. It's fab.

We bought Brokeback Mountain Monday night at midnight....there was a group of people waiting for it at the Wal Mart.

devonrocks New RP character. It's more of an experiment...

I mean, you know that this is not based solely on votes. So they could have left her on for a few more weeks. Out of all the girls, she has the best voice. FUCK AMERICAN IDOL! Fuck shallow people.

Brokeback Hospital = House + Brokeback Mountain

On YouTube I have found a crossover, parody video called Brokeback Hospital. It has made my life COMPLETE. Watch this video and then try to tell me that House and Wilson aren't doing each other in the ass every night.

BROKEBACK HOSPITAL...WATCH THE HOUSE / WILSON YUMMINESS NOW

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Do any of you remember The Moffatts? A band, of 3 triplets and an older brother. Around at the same time as Hanson *cough* Devil Angel. Anyway, I used to be in love with the band. Saw them in concert when I was like, 14. Had their CD's, posters, pictures, yeah.

WELL, for those of you who remember The Moffatts...while looking for a Player Body for my new RP character, I ran across some Moffatts stuff. Apparently Clint and Bob have moved to Thailand, formed a band called 'Same Same', and released an album entitled 'The Meaning of Happy'.

Check out the Myspace page for 'Same Same'

The funniest shit ever, hahahaha

I have seriously been laughing for like, an hour. Their music is possibly the WORST MUSIC EVER. And the fact that they're signed to Sony BMG hurts me. I showed this to nanet and she was as amused as I am. I mean...nobody ever liked Clint anyway! Stupid asshole. And Bob, well, poor Bob. HAHAHAHAHAHA. *dies* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

I have a question for you all:

If you own a laptop/notebook, what brand is it and have you had any problems at all with it?

Particularly, a Sony Vaio FS715P, HP Pavillion, or Compaq V2500 series. Or just those manufacturers in general.

I'm getting my faulty HP replaced and have been offered a few choices. I'd really like some input!

I'm not bored, just procrastinating...

My American Idol Predictions:

Will be voted off 3/29 : Lisa Tucker (Correct)
Will be voted off 4/5 : Elliott Yamin (Incorrect) Correct: Mandisa
Will be voted off 4/12 : Katharine McPhee (Incorrect) Correct: Bucky
Will be voted off 4/19 : Ace Young (Correct)
Will be voted off 4/26 : ~~Bucky Covington~~

Top 5 (in no particular order)
~~Mandisa~~
Taylor
Paris
Chris
Kellie

I can't believe that I've actually been watching this show. It must be this music business major...I feel like I have to keep up with all the industry happenings. Who knows, I could end up managing Bucky or Kellie (ew).

And my humble analysis of each contestant from a Music Industry point of view:

Taylor: I think he will win this competition. He deserves it. I LOVE his stage presence. He's original.
Chris: I think he's completely unoriginal. The market is already saturated with bands that have lead singers who sound exactly like Chris. You can't jump on the tail end of a trend, you have to create a new one.
Paris: I love her voice and her stage presence. While she would do well with the pop/R&B genre, I can't see her getting multiple Number 1 hits. BUT, you must also throw in the fact that due to her Grandmother, she has Industry connections.
Elliott: I'm not a huge fan of Elliott. I don't think that he or his voice is very memorable. If for some reason he gets a record deal, he'll probably be dropped after his first album does nothing.
Katharine: I think she's far too generic. I would compare her to Kelly Clarkson or Christina Aguilera. But both of those girls are established, and have that...X factor to them. Kelly being the winner of the first American Idol and Christina coming out in the era of young pop singers. Again with the idea that you must start the trend, not grab onto the tail end of it. Katharine doesn't have a stellar voice or a unique look. She will be eliminated, and disappear into the industry.
Kellie: Simon is right in that she is likeable. Personally, I can't stand her. However, she would fit well into the Country Market. Her voice is not that great, but she seems like she would be a good performer. And technically, she is "hot". But I'm not sure how long she'll be around. I can't picture her turning into a Reba, Dolly, or Wynonna. Not at all. Perhaps more like a Faith Evans, or Gretchen Wilson.

Ace Young: I just don't think that Ace is that memorable. I suspect that most of his fans are teenage girls. Should he be voted off? Yes. He might have a future career. Turn into a one-hit-wonder.
Bucky: Every week, I like Bucky more and more. He's unpretentious and makes me smile. He will probably make it in the Country Market. Perhaps have a few Country hits...I don't think he'll cross over. If he gets alot of Country Music fans...they will remain loyal to him and he might have a decent career. However, if he only survives on the fans from AI, he'll probably die out after a couple years. Pop fans are generally NOT loyal. Country fans are. Edit: I'm saddened that Bucky was voted off two weeks before I wanted him to. I will admit that I voted for Bucky last night about, oh, 50 times? (I was at my little sister's non-eventful softball game.) He's no American Idol, but I did like him. And I *love* the song "Fat Bottomed Girls" (even though he was rather off-pitch for some of it). A good last song for Bucky.
Mandisa: I love Mandisa. She has a wonderful attitude, and she stands firmly in her beliefs. I think she will fit well into the Gospel/Christian market. I also love how she is confident despite her weight. Society tells us that you *have* to be thin to be beautiful. Well Mandisa is prettier than all the other girls on American Idol, and she has the best voice too. And for all the reasons I love Mandisa, that's why I think she will barely make it into the Top 5. Unfortunately, superficial athiests do exist. Edit: I am shocked and saddened that Mandisa was voted off so soon. I thought for sure that she'd make it to the Top 5. Well I still believe that she has the best voice of all the girls on AI. Before the show she was a session singer with a promising career ahead of her, so she'll continue to succeed in the Music Business. American Idol was nothing but good for Mandisa.
Lisa: Her pitch tonight was completely flat, and the performance was awful. I was appalled. I think she should and will be voted off. Edit: Her pitch was STILL flat the second time she sang the song, and she was rightfully voted off.

If you guys watch the show, let me know what you think.

Dear all: I haven't been online in a few days, and probably won't be online for the next few days because I'm DYING. Not sure what I have....probably the bird flu. Hahaha. More like the real flu. So anyone from HIH (Sara)...I won't get around to the sorting log or reminders for at least a few more days. *start coughing violently and crawls back into bed*

PS. I did manage to wake up long enough to watch House. Even though she wasn't in it, the whole episode *still* revolved around Stacy. Blah.
Wilson: House, this is God. hehehehe
