if you know me, you would know of my disdain for the hallmark holiday referred to as valentines day. only in this day and age can we have a holiday meant to bring people together making them feel more isolated and alone.
i for one, will not stand for it. so i bring to you, my avid fellow valentines-haters, two weeks of anti-valentines celebrations (a division of Vycious Entertainment, TM).
starting tomorrow i will begin posting, daily, of my hatred and frustration regarding this most false of holidays. each day will have a new song with posted lyrics and info for your enjoyment, thoughts and impressions on the concepts of romance and romantic love (with the cheapening of such by said commercial day), and maybe a little history lesson or two.
the end of this celebratory will involve movies (anti-schmaltzy-romance) and chocolate sundae overdoses for my fellow anti-v supporters and i, either at my place or some as of yet undisclosed, larger, location.
i look forward to enabling your vents and aiding your days through this most troubling time...
... all hail Discordia!

i hate keybank.Category: money
i never overdraft. my diagnosis of ocd makes sure that i never allow myself such things. somehow, in the past two weeks, i have been charged three overdraft fees for items posted up to a week and a half late on my account. this is what i get for bad bookkeeping.
so im out about ninety dollars from my paycheck from last week, taking away about 1/7th of it. good times. this means i must budget frugally, as if i had received no double promotion about two pay periods ago. the last pay period being christmas. (now that i think of it, this period of the year seems to be the only time i have ever received these types of snafus with post-payment-overdraft-charges. i blame christians and christmas.) when does vycious get to enjoy his new salary? the answer is: not the first month of the year, for sure. thankfully i have (or will have) all the toys i could possibly want at the moment, but its so easy to wonder what i could have done with the ninety dollars it took to learn that my bank is a bunch of soulless-bean-counters and button-pushers. maybe i have gotten in the habit of using the ole debit card a tad much. maybe this means i should learn the value of cash again? or maybe its just that the banks pull this shit at the end of the year to reap the fiscal quarters slack for having their coffers emptied due to a certain well known series of western religions holidays slumped together due to roman conquest? i digress.
luckily, i put a healthy amount of dough on my laundry card, so im safe in the clean smelling dept. now all i have to do is find someone magnanimous enough to aid me in transport to a local aldais or wegmans to budget out my food funds for groceries instead of wendys. yes, i have a wendys problem. ask enknot. its true.
soo many developments this week. i had to change my myspace profile to private for the first time ever due to some ongoing drama of mine that i have (admittedly) fed into perhaps a tad much in the past six to seven months. a shame, as this woman could have been all i was looking for if she had known how to use the slightest bit of tact and subtlety. but thats another topic, and this one was supposed to be money. so. money.

I just read this, but, in case the wonderful "Sales through Service Representative" (lol.. I used to work in Key's call center) didn't let you know: if there are insufficient funds, they will try to post the item 3 times.
Somewhere in their infinite wisdom, they looked at the accounts that weren't paying them a lot of money (IE: Key Free Checking) and said, "Hmmm... well, let's try posting things 3 times. That way, by the time the person realizes they didn't have enough money for the initial transaction, they will need to scrounge up money for the inital charge PLUS a overdraft (what is it, $28.00 now?) before the NEXT day. If the money's not there we'll do it again!!! BRILLIANT!!!!" lmao
Sorry you had a visit from the overdraft fairy. :\ (happens to me around once a year) Hope they let you know that if you get more than 3 in (i think) a 6 month period they can charge you an Excessive Overdraft fee of $32.00. (again, I think) Good luck!

i tried, but they said they only do it once a year, and that they had already done it for me the week prior. jerks.

Playing with the wii was fun. Did you go into the bank and ask them to remove the charges? I have had them removed at HSBC several times by going into the branch where i opened the account.

beach cameraCategory: online purchasing
so, i ordered my camera last friday. most of you by now are sick of hearing about it- but im stoked.
so i figured since the site said it was in stock, and that it generally takes 2 days to process an order, and that i have chosen 7-9 shipping days, i would have it early next week.
nope. not in stock. backordered. not being recieved there until tuesday. which means i will not recieve it till next friday, if im lucky. pissy-pissy-angry-doo-doo-pants. grr.

totally creepy...
totally creepy...
You really are my favorite Hobbit. I cannot deny it. Everytime I'm ready to discard you something happens to endear me to you yet again.
It really is quite unnerving how much like you I once was. Except for that dating girls your not attracted to bit... I don't know how you do it. There'd be an underpants revolt before I was able to boff someone I thought was doggish.
Yes keep your head up and you may yet find a reason to smile Bi... I mean (e:vycious). I know its hard to when things aren't looking up, but your time will come and eventually you'll be a champion against such insanities as an anti-valentines day!
I say that you instruct those who will attend you anti-v celebration to only show up without their clothes so that you all can get right to the love your're missing out on. (just a tip, cover everything in plastic, even Yoda)
These words of hope againt all reason and tact brought to you by (e:inspiraysean) Co.
I will join in this anti-valentine's day sentiment!
I almost forgot - Rambo 2: First Blood on Valentine's Day is entirely appropriate.
I didn't think about how Valentine's Day can also make people feel isolated and alone - the singles on that day can seem like second class citizens. My solution to this problem is to reject that though, because if its a fake holiday then why should anybody get worked up about what other people are doing? Stay inside, smoke weed, watch First Blood, buy yourself chocolate and gifts instead of someone else and be oblivious.
Jesus, she hustled you into giving even more? That is a horrible idea!
I'm not a fan of this fake, business-induced holiday known as Valentine's Day. I've always hated it, but the one good thing about it is that it gives the most doggish of us a chance (maybe last chance? haha) at making the significant other feel special once a year. So for the screw-ups out there - take the shot!
thats exactly the point im getting at, o-hater-of-gates.
My girlfriend decided to take Valentine's one step further. She invented a Valentine's derivative that she calls "Vhanukkah." The only difference from the original contrived celebration is that Vhanukkah involves 3 days of romantic-gift giving. Thus placing 3x the financial strain of even the December holiday season on my budget. The girlfriend is not even Jewish. Count yourself lucky :-)
