Attempts at Pilfering Monies in Romania

Okay, so the story goes like this:

Memorial Day Weekend. Big money spending weekend for me. I'm painting my apartment. Someone should have talked me out of it, though I am sure I wouldn't have listened. My paint bill alone was over $200. HOLY SHNIKE'S! Why do I have to LOVE color so much?? Why can't I just live in a bland place like the majority of the world?? Wouldn't it be grand if they invented a machine that sucked the last layer of paint off the walls and filtered it at the same time so you could use it again in the next place you lived...If "they" reads this, let me know if you ever get around to inventing such a wonderful machine.

Anyway, this is not about my expansive paint bill. This is about fraudulant activity. If you EVER get an email from your bank, paypal, ebay, or someother bank, claiming they need your account information because of some fraudlant activity, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CLICK ON THE LINK PROVIDED. Call the customer service of the said provider. I think I must have done it the first time I got the email from Ebay, because some jackass in Romania was trying to get money out of an ATM there. Thank goodness for Visa Check Card Security...they decided to not give that person my money, but on the flip side they had to close my account...hense the problem with some massive paint/ing supplies purchases. Not that I couldn't cover it with my credit cards, but I was just annoyed. Actually, it wasn't until I was at Starbucks trying to get my quad-venti-lite-ice(d)-latte that the 4 dollar trans didn't go through. I was thinking, "no, you don't realize how much money I have in my account. I could buy a lot more latte's than just this one...what the hell?"

Speaking of Starbucks and my favorite drink...do any barista's that I know that work there know how to get a good iced latte now that they have those blasted machines that take all of the art out of espresso making??? I try not to go to those machined slaves, but everyonce in a while...I need to give up coffee anyway. Is it hypocritical to not drink coffee and want to own a coffee shop? (Though you must know that it will be oh so much more than just another mere coffee shop).

Anyway...it's my birthday in 6 days, my sister's is today. She is 31! Happy Birthday Patty!! Holy Crap! Its her golden birthday! Mine was when I was 6. lame.

yes, well...the problem is easily solved by paying more money and just making them add an extra shot...which sucks, and makes me think I need to cut off this addiction in the first place.
