I just got this email.

Hi there,

You've been banned from laundromatic.net again, and as you appear to not know why I thought I'd drop you an email to explain.

You were banned for bad feedback scattered across many names. First and foremost, Laundro only allows one name per person. Anybody that creates a second name and has feedback on both are banned automatically. Being as how you had way more than 2 names and negatives on pretty much every single one, you were banned for this reason. Every time you signed up after that, you were banned as soon as we caught you for being a return banned user. We obviously don't allow banned users to start fresh and continue frauding/wasting peoples time.

Your usernames:
Teknokitten (1 neutral that should have been a negative and 3 positives)
squareframed (2 negatives and 11 positives)
lethalbubblegum (2 negatives and 4 positives)
peudetoile (1 negative and 31 positives)

Hopefully that clears it up for you. If you sign up again, we'll ban you again. If you have any questions, please email me back.

Thanks,
Krissy
administrator of laundromatic.net

The first three names are old as hell. I had been using peudetoile since I was 18...that's about 6 years. It took them 4 years to even catch that I had old accounts! And either way my positives outweigh my negatives by far. And let's not mention the fact that I was NEVER informed of why my account was banned before now. No wonder their site isn't even a fourth as active as it used to be.

The simple fact is that there are a lot of us. It is difficult to get exact statistics, but studies show that about 18% of college students have tattoos (up from about 10% in 1997). Employment studies by Vault.com showed that about 20% of the general working population says that their tattoos or piercings have hindered their progress in the job market. Certain demographic groups show higher numbers; for example, a full third of those involved in computer gaming have piercings and tattoos. Whatever the precise number is, it's clear that it's a gigantic group -- most likely approximately one in five people. For comparison, that means there twice as many people with piercings and tattoos in America as their are African Americans or Hispanics. In addition, when we compare the growth rate of the modified community, we are growing at a rate dramatically faster than any other demographic group.

I just started reading this book by Diablo Cody called Candy Girl. It is HILARIOUS! This is a list she made...

1. Any hip-swiveling R&B fuckjam. This category includes The Greatest Stripping Song of All Time: "Remix to Ignition" by R. Kelly.

2. "Purple Rain" by Prince, but you have to be really theatrical about it. Arch your back like Prince himself is daubing body glitter on your abdomen. Most effective in nearly empty, pathos-ridden juice bars.

3. "Honky Tonk Woman" by the Rolling Stones. Insta-attitude. Makes even the clumsiest troglodyte strut like Anita Pallenberg. (However, the Troggs will make you look like even more of a troglodyte, so avoid if possible.)

4. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard. The Lep's shouted choruses and relentless programmed drums prove ideal for chicks who can really stomp. (Coincidence: I once saw a stripper who, like Rick Allen, had only one arm.)

5. "Amber" by 311. This fluid stoner anthem is a favorite of midnight tokers at strip joints everywhere. Mellow enough that even the most shitfaced dancer can make it through the song and back to her Graffix bong without breaking a sweat. Pass the Fritos Scoops, dude.

6. "Miserable" by Lit, but mostly because Pamela Anderson is in the video, and she's like Jesus for strippers (blonde, plastic, capable of parlaying a broken nail into a domestic battery charge, damaged liver). Alos, you can't go wrong stripping to a song that opens with the line "You make me come."

7. "Back Door Man" by The Doors. Almost too easy. The mere implication that you like it in the ass will thrill the average strip-club patron. Just get on all fours and crawl your way toward the down payment on that condo in Cozumel. (Unless, like most strippers, you'd rather blow your nest egg on tacky pimped-out SUVs and Coach purses.)

8. Back in Black" by AC/DC. Producer Mutt Lange wants you to strip. He does. He told me.

9. "I Touch Myself" by the Devinyls. Strip to this, and that guy at the tip rail with the bitch tits and the shop teacher glasses will actually believe that he alone has inspired you to masturbate. Take his money, then go masturbate and think about someone else.

10. "Hash Pipe" by Weezer. Sure, it smells of nerd. But River Cuomo is obsessed with Asian chicks and nose candy, and that's just the spirit you want to evoke in a strip club. I recommend busting out your most crunk pole tricks during this one.

Which scripted J would look best as a tattoo on my right ankle?

I have a paid account again. Crazy.

On Saturday I also went to a baby shower for a good friend of the family's. It was HUGE! There had to be at least 50 probably more like 75 people there. When we walked in we filled out envelopes with our addresses and picked up infant socks filled with pacifier shaped candies. We were supposed to mix and mingle and try to find a match for our sock so we could give it back to the mommy to be. Mom and I saved ours, lol. But we picked out matching socks so we could give them to her if we wanted to, lol. There was the most delicious punch and little hot tea stations all over the house. A nice buffet with many choices in foods. And little petit fores and delicious cookies for dessert. I have no clue what was in the center of the cookies but it was yummy. And girl racked up on some damn presents! It was a really nice time =) I kinda wish it had been after the funeral so the day could end on a good note but then I would have showed up with a tear streaked face and would have to explain lol.

It was yesterday and I cried. This is the first time I have cried at a funeral. I think it's the first time I've cried over the death of a person. The only time I've cried over death in my adult life was Sasha. I'm pretty sure I cried over the first 4 or 5 untimely deaths of cats that went on patton avenue. Anyway, it was really hard. It still is. Yesterday i rented three comdies at work to keep my mind off it all. King of California was wonderful but also kinda sad at the end. Happy sad though.

I'm addicted to the sims 2.

So I've known Lindsey since I was like 5. And I think I've probably known Jason that long as well. It made me so happy that they found each other and became happy together. This month they were going to move in to an apartment together and the wedding was being planned. They;ve been together like three years and through some shit in that time.

This morning Jason had a heart attack and died. He just turned 32 in December. This is so fucked up. I wish with all my heart there were something I could do for Lindsey. The situation has definitely put my issues in perspective.

I miss you, Jason!

And I have one to add...Edward Scissorhands!

I got the red velvet recipe from Paula Deen and the ganache + cream cheese recipes from Chockylit. I had to half the original ganache recipe and double the original cream cheese frosting. The measurments shown below reflect this.

Red Velvet Cupcakes
2 1/2 C AP Flour
1 1/2 C sugar
1 Tsp baking soda
1 Tsp salt
1 Tsp cocoa powder (1 Tbsp if you want more cocoa flavour)
1 1/2 C vegetable oil (lots of people said they turned out too oily so I used 1 C veg oil and 1/2 C margarine)
1 C buttermilk, room temp
2 large eggs, room temp
2 Tbs red food colouring (I used a whole bottle which was almost 3 Tbs)
1 Tsp white distilled vinegar
1 Tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin tins with 24 cupcake liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. In a large bowl gently beat together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food colouring, vinegar and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer(you can do this with a whisk, the butter makes this step a bit of a pain). Add sifted dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
Divide the batter in to the cups. Bake for about 20 - 22 minutes, turning once halfway through. Test with a toothpick and remove to cool on a wire rack.

Chocolate Ganache
4 oz bittersweet chocolate (I used ghiradelli chips)
1/2 C heavy cream
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Pinch of salt

Place chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a sauce pan until bubbles form around the edges. Pour hot cream over chocolate and let sit 1 minute. Mix chocolate and cream together until combined, then add vanilla and salt. Mix until combined. Let sit until it's room temperature and a little thick. Spoon over cooled cupcake tops and smooth with the back of the spoon. Take care if you have nice domes as the ganache will spill over the side. Let sit to harden ganache.

Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz Philly Cream Cheese
1/2 Stick butter 1/4 C)
4 Cups sifted powdered sugar
2 Tsp vanilla

Beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar a little at a time and vanilla, beat until combined. Pipe on ganache topped cupcakes.

I'll put up my cookie recipes when I get back tonight.
