Hey jess, welcome here. I hate to tell you but that myspace [inlink]sonargirl,2[/inlink] site freaks me out. It is free as an obvious ploy to get people to give up their personal shopping habits and friends circle in order to sell trageted advertisiments.

Once you sign up for a free account, you give them shopping habit data, by filling in your personal information and mixing it with social network, class data, computer type, location. Then at the bottom of the page, where you can click on advertise, other data-pigs buy that information and then retarget you with the object's they know "you need."

Last night, while getting into some trouble with (e:rachel) and (e:southernyankee) we stopped at Holly farms so that (e:rachel) could get some money out of the ATM. (e:southernyankee) was looking for a snack and while we walked around I found this most disgusting treat. They could at least make it sound more tasty than fat back with 100% skin attached.
