Yeah you heard me,
I am being belittled by internet security technology which is accusing me of not being a real person, but actually being a brainless, automated advertisement. I recently failed a character verification test 3 times in a row. I am stupider than a computider.
It's things like these that really damage my self esteem, it means that I have to keep building it up again with 'big nights out', because it is a well-known Svetlana fact that if you take the right combination of drugs and alchohol, and flashing lights, then you become inflated with a kind of superhero syrup which magically restores your self esteem.
If it wasn't enough that I failed a test that was designed for any normal human to pass, iTunes has taken a big swing at my ego as well. iTunes takes the liberty of classifying all my music for me, and it has decided that I am a big fan of the Gospel and Religious genre. I find this offensive. Sure Pedro the Lion may have the odd spiritual moment but he also has a song about big trucks and nothing else, it's called 'Big Trucks' in case you were interested.
But seeing we're on the topic of crazy genres then I woiuld personally like to make a genre for bands that deliberately misspell song titles. For example : Macy Gray's song 'I can't wait to meetchu', hmmm, I think that misspelled songs deserve a genre entirely of their own. It could be called the Dumbfuk genre.
Speaking of dumfu(c)ks, ...my friends have come up with some pretty stupid sayings lately, I don't even know why I am friends with them at all because they are so fucking lame. Naa just kidding guys, I know why I'm friends with you; cos nobody else understands my loveable antics.
So here's a curious one from Al, thats Alex H. from Brunswick in case you weren't sure...
"You know that you can actually tongue kiss a shoe? Think about it..."
Alex, you fiesty leather pusher babe.
Another winner comes from an anonymous friend of mine, we shall call her Tash to protect her identity. Now Tash is a delightful and intelligent girl, however part of her brain is missing, the part that understands proverbs and sayings. She is just really fucking bad at them. Here is a keeper,
"Hot as a cat out of hell" this appears to be a combination of 'Cat on a hot tin roof' and 'Bat out of hell', interesting since neither of these are sayings. There are plenty more of these to share around but I have forgotten them so I will need to make a phone call later in the week and ask for them again, all the while disguising the fact that I am publishing them on the web. Maybe I can start off every blog entry with a Tash quote, that would be cool.
Here's another one again from Alex, yes shut up I know I only have 2 friends,
"He's exactly the kinda guy I like, in that he's a jerk, and he's selfish, and he's not interested in me." Priceless! I'm sure most people can relate to that last one though. Phew, story of my life!
Well I must be off to listen to my old time gospel hits, and of course the "rock" genre because iTunes has decided that my PUNK compilation is really rock. Thats right Lars Fredrikson (of the punk band Rancid), you were wrong when you put together that compilation, its not actually punk at all, in fact you better put your mohawk down right now and stop living a lie.

Svetlana... "Tash" reads your blog! You friendship ruiner. I told you to stop the presses on her sayings until I'd cleared it with her first!
Anyway, clearly part of YOUR brain is missing. "Like a bat out of Hell" IS a saying (yes, it's more than a line out of a Meatloaf song). Here is an example:
"When Svet is behind the wheel of a car I have to cover my eyes because she drives like a bat out of Hell."
ie. in a fast, or agitated manner.
Ha! Thanks for coming to my defense Lexie, but you needn't worry...I like to think my complete incomprehension of proverbs is an endearing personal characteristic...
Right???
Oh and PS Svet, I love your blog. It's HILAAARIOUS! And I give you permission to start each entry with a Tash-saying, my ego's loving it I tell ya
Alex you are a smart arse and you are also a worry arse, I knew Tash would be cool with it.
Hi Tash, I'm glad you read my blog, well more shocked than anything. If you come up with anymore publishable proverb fuck-ups I would love to hear them! If you dont feel embarassed about typing magical_blue_tortise@hotmail.com into your email, then send em this way!
Phew...
Yes it is very endearing. And you'll soon become a minor celeb.
Svet, I'll email you the Tash sayings to you soon.
(And you don't really drive like a bat out of Hell. Anymore.)
Re: our phone conversation
I won't nit-pick anymore. I didn't think you would care since you are so easy-going with your blog. Being uptight about crap like that is my schtick. And I don't think that makes me pretentious.
(An amusing aside: I initially wrote that you are "laissez-faire with your blog", but changed it because I thought that you would accuse me of being pretentious for using French in a sentence.)
(For the record I agree that it is, but that particular expression has become adopted into English, too.)
(Wow, that last sentence sounded really UPTIGHT!)
Re: phone convo also
I can't believe you think I'm pretentious! I am just judgemental, insensitive and sarcastic... but never pretentious! I have both "low" and "high" tastes and I don't give a shit what freaky/lame/embarassing stuff you're into, youre still my wuvable friend.
Would you notice if the shoe had a well-hung tongue?
Gah, me and my stupid brain. Where do I come up with crap like that?
Lord knows, Tim, Lord knows.
Mupets are really just the evolution of all those left socks that got away!

Bowie, congrats, your comment managed to be even more random than my blog, you are a very special guy. I dont really know how to answer your questions on html code, thats if there WERE questions, i got lost. HTML is sucky and stupid and im really only saying that cos i really dont understand it.
Tim,
I like the way your mind works, that being...the wrong way.
Shane, I think the tagging with an "a" is for hyperlinks.
