Hey everyone! Long time no see! *waves* I've pretty much fallen off the lj rader the past few years, but the great Delicious "revamp" today got me a little worked up. I know that there's been quite a bit of posting of the madness, but I just couldn't stop myself, my frustration was slowly eating me up inside. So what's a girl to do? Post a (slightly ridiculous, but also sincere) open letter to delicious.


Dear Delicious,

After four years of wild and fun times, we've come to an end. I want to start off by saying that I have greatly enjoyed our times together--the good, the bad, the crazy. You're like that crazy like crazy boyfriend or girlfriend: those quirky characteristics of yours led to the best times and the greatest finds. I spent hours upon hours exploring your vast collection of amazing bookmarks, sorting through tags, catching up with my network, and marveling at just how unique you were.

But, like all crazy boyfriends or girlfriends, we've reached that point. You know, that point. That point where I realize that you have crazy eyes or a serious knife fetish. I know, I know, this is partly my fault. I should have seen the writing on the wall when AVOS bought you, but I didn't want to. I thought that your quirks were so endearing! Plus, when there were mentions of changes, I didn't really believe that anything would happen. Although if I'm being honest, the bookmarking was just too good for me to think about anything else.

Unfortunately, I can't ignore this any longer. You've turned into a completely different website than when I first met you and today was the last straw. Over the past few months, you've become a fickle and selfish companion. I kept trying to please you in hopes that our relationship would go back to the way that it was. I want to believe that you'll change, I really do. However, I'm fairly certain that if I stick around, this will end with me shedding even more tears while curled up in a corner in a fetal position.

We had a great run together, Delicious, but you're just not doing it for me anymore. The bookmarking can't save our relationship, not when you've torn it into pieces.

Hate,

Paprika

P.S. Yes, it is you, not me. And I have found someone new. Well, multiple someones: Pinboard and Diigo.

So I had a super minor procedure done this past week, but I'm finally feeling back to normal. I found this old white linen jumper in my room that's extraordinarily big on me. Which is perfect because wearing baggy clothes is preferable at the moment. However people kept giving me odd looks all today while I was wearing this white jumper. It confused me until I got home and saw myself in a mirror and realized the sleeves were massively long and the jumper was really huge giving the impression that I am at best, an exceedingly eccentric painter wearing my smock around or I'm a really sedate mental patient.

But aside from clothing mishaps, I've been feeling less sore and tired. Which is really good because school starts up soon and I have to still study for lsats. As second semester gets closer and closer, I'm realizing just how much pain and suffering this semester will entail. I'm going for a b.s. in physics (why? because i've clearly decided i'm not going to physics grad school. So this will do absolutely nothing for me D : ) so I have about four more required classes and then I'm free!


So on a completely random tangent, I'm finally getting around to watching Countdown and it's so hilarious and awesome. I love how incredibly ninja Ryo is and the Sunrise Nippon arashi/news song. Although I thought it was extremely funny how all of the little groups were hugging except  Shige and Ohno. Ohhh Shige the awkward is so endearing. And the Ryo/Jun hugging would have been even more awesome if Jun had taken off the glasses sooner.

I realized that I've fallen to a new low when Jun finally came out without the glasses and wearing the white ugly suit and the red flower and I almost sobbed in relief. "Ahhh finally something normal!" I said to myself.

I really to thank Kami (tinyangl) for posting two of my stories for me to korette. I love you so much for letting me be ridiculously lazy. How do you put up with me? *showers love*

Ok! Meme time! (taken from ilanabean42)

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not. (I like collecting quotes, so if you give me a quote you like, that would be particularly cool.)
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions

Here are my responses to her questions:
