a brief message

[mimesere]

For the following people:

1) the new FOB tour manager (WTF IS WITH THE ONSALE OF THE LA DATE BEING MOVED? AND WHAT IS WITH THE COMPLETE LACK OF THE PAC NW?)
2) People who make assumptions about issues without at least a basic familiarity with the people and/or cultures and/or politics involved.
3) Entitled white people.
4) People who act indignant because I won't help them circumvent the TOU. No, I do not care that you didn't read it, ass, you still agreed to it.
5) People who do not read the FAQ/instructions/previous posts/whatever on a subject before asking or saying something that has previously been covered.
6) People who park like douchebags.
7) People who drive like douchebags.
8) Whoever decided it was a good idea to put those goddamn stickers all over cd/dvd cases to hold those fuckers shut.
9) The person who designed that evil packaging which is all hard-ish plastic and flat except for the place where the item is and you have to cut it open with scissors or a knife and hope that you've made a big enough hole to pull the item out without cutting yourself on the jagged edges left after you attacked it with a knife and probably looked like a crazed killer.
10) *insert other person or persons that I am mad at*

Speaking as the girl who works in a CD factory and wouldn't mind throwing those fucking machines in a river, WORD.

Although on CDs they're easier to take off than they are on DVDs -- just undo the bottom hinge and rip 'em off. I never understood how the people in the DVD assembly department didn't go loopy taking those off all night. On the other hand, spine labels on DVDs don't bother me nearly as much as those stupid security flaps built into the cases. ARGH.

Erm, sorry. Have I mentioned lately that I hate my job?

Pretty much everything about cd/dvd packaging is annoying, but I was opening a dvd with the three stickers and just ARGH. ARGH.

OMG YES to #9! WTF is up with that packaging?

(Note how I very deliberately avoid #2 and the bandom wank because I was just reading it and it makes me want to KILL PEOPLE.)

Dude, I will go *out of my way* to avoid buying anything in that packaging if I possibly can. It's just really really annoying.

and hah. #2. Between the bandom thing and, um, other stuff where I just went !!!! at things people said, I am just done with people talking smack about stuff and making assumptions without knowing what's going on in the larger context.

Word. Word. Word.

4-7? Usually 3.

And I'd like to beat 8 and 9's heads together.

And people wonder why I'm always so cranky. Heh.

My superpower is my ability to open CD and DVD packaging really quickly. I'm working on costume designs.

I am really hating the way the tickets for FOB are being sold. Can we even buy tickets yet? And what's this surprise I keep hearing about?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Man, I don't even *know*. I...am just going to set up my phone to do the texting purchasing thing. If you want, when the tickets go on sale on 9/22, I will just buy two and you can have the other.

Also, that surprise better be Patrick Stump singing for my pleasure to have any chance at mitigating the utter FAIL that is this ticket purchasing process.

That would be great! Thanks. It'll give me more time to work and earn the money, instead of dipping into my after high school road trip fund.

I hope it's a good surprise, and not like, free stickers or something. A free t shirt might be nice. Or a free lap dance from the band member of my choosing. I'm not picky.
