Seattle Something
who really knows [about]A new distraction for a busy twenty-something Seattleite. Think of this as the Seinfeld of blogs.
PLEASE NOTE: The only rule of this blog is that if you know me, do not reveal my true identity. I can do it myself.
Really?
I duped myself
Post by Post by The Beast Girl | Category: Really?Sold a couple lounge chairs and an iPod on Craigslist for a combined price of $180, all of which I acquired free of cost. Today I found a leather couch I wanted. They had two, I bought one. I thought they listed them at $150 ea. I offered $140. They took it.
Craigslist Ad:
Guess I was the best offer—a sucker.
At least I helped out a young pregnant couple and made $40 in the grand scheme of things?
As if…
Post by Post by The Beast Girl | Category: Really?Kita eats and drinks as if I have never fed nor watered her in her life. She laps up that H2O louder than any dog I’ve ever heard! I *literally* fed her lunch (1 cup) less than a minute ago and she is already done and burping.
WOW.
alright, i give up. who are you and why did you take over my inbox?
Post by Post by The Beast Girl | Category: Really?OMG.
I mean, WOW.
While vegging out and watching High School Musical with my beast I decided to check my email. I have two stories. I’ll start with the shorter, lighthearted one.
The man I sold my pickup to after I wrecked it, Juan, just sent me an email responding to the initial Craigslist email. “hi Erin i wonder if you like to have a dinner with me”.
HAHA. WTF?!
One: NO.
Two: HEAAEEEELLLLLLL NO.
Story number dos.
Two days ago I received a phone call from a potential client, a referral from an acquaintance. I am not necessarily friends with this acquaintance, but he’s referred a couple other potential clients (did not work out) and I appreciate him passing my name on. So this evening the potential client from two days ago emailed me back. Never in my professional life have my political beliefs or alignments come into play. I have worked with all types, literally. In no way do my political beliefs ever effect the manor in which I perform my professional duties or inhibit my abilities. If nothing else, they help me to do my job to the best of my ability. My political beliefs are derived out of my personal values and ideals. These support the way in which I interact, operate and go about my daily life.
This potential client combed through my portfolio. I recently completed a website for a client of mine who is a radio talk show host (mostly political) and happen to believe he is a really amazing man in addition to agreeing with most of what he has to say. That said, this potential client said that he realizes a client is a client but that if I align with him we should not do business together.
Whaaa?
Really? What if I did not agree with this man but simply listened to him to know more, regardless of agreement? Then what? If I respond in the way I intend to and make no political declaration or affiliation where does that leave him?
Already I do not want to work with him due to his premature presumptive prejudice against me. What if I was black? Would he work with me? What if I was Jewish? No soup for you! Red head? Too tall? Woman?! Hermaphrodite? Muslim? Slavic? Christian?
COME ON. Is this not absurd?! Basing your hiring on personal beliefs? Wow.
WOW.
did you even go to school?
Post by Post by The Beast Girl | Category: Really?just today alone i’ve come across, not one, but TWO people i went to COLLEGE with and found these:

i have never been one to claim greatest speller, nor have i ever considered myself the grammar police. HOWEVER. i do NOT struggle that hard and i MOST DEF look at my posts more closely before publishing to be sure i don’t make stupid mistakes as seen above. re-TARDs. these go in the same category as the peeps in our lovely state prison town monroe. at the grocery store we came across a store ad for Lay’s Potato Chips that said, “Lay,s Potato Chips Two for One”. next door to that was the furniture store with a huge sign saying, “la away available”.
GOOD LORD PEOPLE. life is not that hard. honest.
now thets wha i caul some gud wordin!
chicken little
Post by Post by The Beast Girl | Category: Not So Cool, Really?
for any of you who lean even the slightest bit left, please close your eyes and ears and click away. you’re not going to like what i have to say.
i am so tired of this bull shit liberal chicken little mentality. these people believe anything and run around screaming wanting the rest of us to panic about nothing with them. why is it so hard to be practical and logical? yes, not everything is perfect. yes, we must act to do something to change many things. and yes, we should care about our environment, citizens without health care, and other major topics. however, we need to look at the topics with this in mind: keep emotion out of it, keep the long term in view, and, most importantly, maintain everyone’s liberties. “liberals are especially liberal with your money and your liberty” and that is total crap.
sure, we could revamp the health care system. but guess what? we have the best f*cking system in the world. 90% of u.s. citizens has some sort of coverage! that 40 million number their throwing around like truth is made up of illegal aliens and young healthy people who choose not to get health care. i bet there is only about 8-10 million without health care that truly need and deserve it.
so, given that they need health care, why not start a non-profit insurance company? i had a lengthy “discussion” with a very bloody liberal friend of mine. i suggested this to her.
i said, “you have the passion, the know-how and the connections to start something like this. why not? i would support you 100%. i would donate money to the cause!”
she responded with, “oh, well, umm, i dunno. it’s never been done before.”
“so?!” i said, “why not be the first?”
“oh well it’s too expensive,” she said.
“WHAT? come on! nothing is out of reach. you can raise money. do you know how many people would love that idea? both conservatives and liberals? you would be able to get money easily.”
my dad’s professor was totally correct when he said, “You cannot argue reasonably with someone whose position is not based in reason.”
this is the kind of crap i cannot stand. i provide a valid solution to the problem and there is a total lack of interest because all they want is for someone else to take care of them because they think they’re entitled to it and want the easy way out when all they’re doing is taking away freedoms from other people and pushing our country down an irreversible, non-foundational path!
WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT.
