    happy friday, guys.

    you know what makes a good and a bad FQ – please create accordingly.

    i need a total of nine questions.

    ready…go!

  • from your customer service pal: the magic words

    I know I should be unbiased and help everyone equally, but I am so much more likely to answer your email the very second I get it if you say things like “please” and “thank you”. Reading things like “I want this done now!!!!!” is no motivation for me to do anything to help you out.

    For real.

    Also, please please please always put your username in your email and if you are reporting something, make sure you add the URL to that page.

    Love,
    Friendly Neighborhood Customer Service Rep

  • What do you want to be when you grow up?

    my mom always said “i still don’t know what i want to be when i grow up!” and i think it’s a legitimate question at any point in your life. it saddens me to think that people can think “well, i guess this is all there is to do because that’s what i’m ‘sposed to do,” settle with whatever they’ve deemed sufficiently grown-up and stick with that for the rest of their lives under the guise of stability.

    a little part of everyone should still want to be a rockstar, an astronaut, the president, whatever it was that intrigued you as a five-year-old. indulge yourself and go back to it for a while. learn four guitar chords, study astronomy, write a letter saying how you think taxes suck sometimes and how standardized tests are silly.

    that being said, i regularly participate in karaoke given the opportunity, make up my own words and make asinine comments to whoever will listen because i want to be a popstar/tina fey hybrid when i grow up.

  • What is your favorite dinosaur? What features of that dinosaur make it your favorite?

    BRONTOSAURUS. Also, I picked out this FQ, so if you don’t like it, I don’t like you.

    Vaguely kidding.

    I just answered the best Featured Question ever; you can answer it too!

  • lookit!


    This is the castle I was referencing before . . . apparently it is called Talking Magic Kingdom. The noises it makes are horrendous.


    oh yeah, and Alphie and I were reunited. And it feels so good.
