My workplace has a health incentive program. Basically, you log all your "healthy" activities (weighing yourself once a week, keeping track of your fruits and veggies, exercising, etc). Activites are worth varying points (walk a mile, get a point. YAY). Anyways, if you collect 25 points in 90 days, you get to select a $25 gift card.
The 25 points are appallingly easy to acquire, and every couple of months I can haz a bookstore giftcard. The last one I got, I used to buy some books for my niece for Christmas. The total purchase came to 27-something. I only had a large bill on me, so I put the 2-dollar balance on my debit card.
Come Christmas, it turns out that my sister and I had duplicated one book. So today I went to Borders to return it. I still had the empty gift card, so I told the cashier that she could re-use that. OH NO. "The return has to go on the card you used to pay originally"
"I used this gift card originally, and paid the two-dollar difference on my card."
"ZOMG IT HAZ TO GO ONTEH CARD U PAID WITH THE FIRST TIME."
Okay!
So, long ramble short. I got 11 bucks credited onto my debit card for money I never actually spent.

Lately, I've been enchanted with Charlotte Vale. The porn star, not the character from the old movie. She's a little chubby and a lot kinky and when it comes to chicks, that's what does it for me. The other day I Googled her. Instead of finding more of her work, I found her MySpace. She wasn't shy about announcing what she does, but I still feel like a creep. Like her personal life is None Of Opera's Business. I only sought porn. Sorry.

Unless it's for a character whose name doesn't matter (the waiter, for example) epithets drive me batty. Especially in sex scenes (names are almost always much, much MUCH sexier than statistics. An exception, I guess, could be a kinky scene where the epithet adds to the fun and atmosphere), and double-especially when the stupid epithet could work for either-- nearly everyone is a "former champ" of some kind in wrestling, and triple-especially when the epithet isn't all that defining-- quick! If I said "the younger man" when referring to either Triple H or Bradshaw would you have any clue? Cody and Teddy? Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio?
