Fuck You, Vevo

Posted on by jeanneji

I remember when YouTube used to not have commercials. I understand that it needs to be able to support itself as a free service, but this just pisses me off.

Thank you, Vevo. Let me repost what I have come across from other Youtubers:

Dear Vevo,

Let me start by saying, get your corporate asses off YouTube! Ever since these big companies started paying off YouTube so they could post their friggin videos we can’t post ours. We are flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website.To people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy this on Vevo vids.

I just wanted to watch a lovely Cheryl Cole music video. I can watch Parachute, which I do like a lot, but I thought it was funny how I couldn’t find anything on Promise This, which was released 4 months ago. Find it on the side bar and bam. Vevo.

A lot of people have been doing the tumblr scene lately and that’s cool and all, but I feel somewhat offended for all my history and time I put into what it used to be. But a part of everyone else makes me want to bring mine back. I keep saying it, but I want to try.

Small Town

Posted on by jeanneji

I’m laying here in bed on my phone right now. I can’t get it out of my head.

First off, today officially marks 6 years since my dad. Crazy stuff.

Second, as the holidays approach and people shop for everyone else, I can’t help but feel alone. I don’t exactly have a committed to exchange with. I have a gift on store for Dave but that’s probably not even mutual (not that I mind since this is something I want to do). It would just be nice to have that exchange.

Third, its a small ass town. Jenn and I did our usual late day Black Friday shopping. End of the night as things were closing, we decided to check out a wine and spirits shop. Took the detour through Wawa. I went in with a goal of getting my pumpkin spice drink and decided to check on soup in the mean time. Boston Clam Chowder. The best stuff they have. I was staring at the machine deciding between medium and large when Jenn starts kicking at my foot. At first I thought it was intentional but she did it again. I look over at her and she’s mortified, looking behind the counter.

James. This so called ex of mine that has been stirring the pot since I met him 4 years ago. I remember that one night we hung out and he was telling me how he got selected with a small group put of a pile of applicants for some intense managerial program with Wawa. I guess that was true because there he was.

Jenn pulled me away as I was canceling my soup. Had an OMG moment in the aisle and didn’t know what to do with him roaming. Tried avoiding contact, and Jenn pushed me away by the drinks (he spotted her) so I went to get my drink. We went to pay and as I stepped out, he saw me. Time slowed down as this eye contact occurred with the “oh shit” feeling as I said to Jenn, he saw me. We went to pay and avoided contact as we left.

This year, I’m thankful for my ex. We were expecting a txt or IM when I got back, but neither. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. Our history is not the best but he at least pretended to care and I miss that. He has this thing over me that I can’t help. I don’t let it eat my time- except when he makes contact; I’m powerless. I have no idea what I’m doing and a part of me wants to see him, even though I know how bad be is for me. Jenn knows how bad which is why she pulls me away. This is a mess.

HAPPY

Posted on by jeanneji

Tee hee…do you know what today is? It’s Dave’s birthday. He’s getting really old, which makes me feel more like a child. Gross. But whatever. I got him to get online last night and count down to midnight. Our clocks weren’t synched so he was late. I got a little excited and didn’t get to finished typing “birthday” without going past the time so I only sent HAPPY, hence the title here.

Double Iced Krimpets

I sent out a poster, some dunkaroos, tastykakes, chocolate, zombie kit, inflatable cane…I think that was all. The poster arrived yesterday, the box arrived when he wasn’t home but it’s there now. I wish I could see the reaction of opening the box. I tried splicing up an old spice guy commercial so send as a birthday message, but it came out a little rough. I sent it earlier as a birthday email. That might just be some infringement if I upload that; trust me, the idea is epic.

So we spent about an hour chatting and studying. He seriously makes everything better. During our little chat, he  promised me a dinner party. YOU HEAR THAT D? I’m holding you to it. But seriously, I would much rather just be out there than here. MISSJOO

So anyway. Halloween came and went. I had a few exams so I didn’t really go out. Jimmy came down to see Lenny in a fabulous surprise way. Story goes, Jimmy was gonna take the bus down after class and arrive in the city around 8pm. At about 3pm, Alex sends me a text asking if I was home and that we need to talk. I was like- uhh? But she told me that Jimmy was coming down. He got here around 4 and we helped him set up; Lenny got out of work around 5. This is the chaos that ensued.

Anyway…I’m sitting here right now, watching some TV and trying to relax. Planning some more shebangs.

Sweet Drizzlet

Posted on by jeanneji

That’s not a word. I made it up! It’s me dabbling in a lot of stuff, and it’s the season that is giving back (Blizzard). There’s a bit I want to update on, but I promised myself I would at least get through 2 hours of this silly biochem lecture before anything. What’s happening that I don’t want to do anything?

Blizzcon.

See you after lecture.

Edit//23 October, 11:55am

Ok, so I didn’t come back. My brother, Mike and I sat around watching a bit of Diablo III and the Costume & Dance competition. It was pretty awesome. I have a new appreciation for Jay Mohr. Hehe. Some of the costumes weren’t as special, but other ones were pretty sweet. I would love to cosplay some time, but only if I can make it awesome. All or nothing. I still think about doing Tifa from AC, but I don’t have the body for that (although I’m better than I was before).

I’m currently sitting in Acura getting some work done on the car. I got through my anatomy Immunology lecture, so it’s been good. I have about 15 minutes left here.

The only other thing that is worth mentioning is that I have some infection? The corners of my mouth are ridiculously uncomfortable (no severe pain, a little dry but more so just stiff and inelastic) and I may be having an allergic reaction on top of that causing my lips to swell and itch. Not sure if it’s the stuff I’m using to treat this possible [angular cheilitis].  Hate my body. Not so much in the “I’m sooo fat and will never love myself” but the fact that I have so many body fails with allergies and incompatibilities with living in general. I hate being allergic to so many things.

Cha-Change

Posted on by jeanneji

There are so many things going on right now.

1. School. Nuff said (for now).

I have been browsing various site on my numerous breaks and I want to redesign this again. I want to merge my online doings (Twitter for one, and possibly Blogger for my on the go photo posting). I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
