I'm in love with your strict machine (not)

[oiran]

Okay, so I'm a sort of yaoi kick. I thought I'd never have an interest in dirty cartoons ever again, having gone through a "het" (i.e., tentacle/schoolgirl) phase several years back, much to Mr. Glove's bafflement. Anyway, to further explore the, er, art form, I discovered a way to be provided with vid files if I were to subscribe to a certain online storage service, as the files are obviously too large to send via email.

So I paid via Paypal, which supposedly would give me instantaneous access. That was about 14 hours ago. Yeah, I counted. I am still "awaiting processing," which implies some actual person somewhere has to input data. I find this kind of thing incredibly annoying because a business that sells technical services online should have this sort of system FULLY AUTOMATED, or so I think. In fact, I believe it the way some people believe in god. I mean, how unprofessional and borderline Luddite is that?

I emailed them a slightly snarky but reasonable message asking when I could expect to be processed and got back a cheery, contentless message with a tracking number and a request that I use the tracking number. Fine. Fuckers. So I sent them the same text with an additional note AND the tracking number.

And got back another tracking number.

No people handy to be blamed, and incompetent machines. I just want my fucking yaoi (which is a fannish kindness, and not even something I'm paying for...I just need the space I've paid for).

And re: Mr. Glove's bafflement. While I often find it peculiar and frustrating that he doesn't just follow me down my pornish paths with slavering enthusiasm, it's probably a good thing. Were he matching me in my fervor, I can see that I could easily end up turning tricks on a dirty mattress in the back of a van. So, I'll take the opportunity here to give thanks for Mr. Glove's moderate prudishness. Thanks, honey.

You just want your fucking porn, damnit!!1! Is that too much to ask?!!!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

It is most definitely not too much for me to ask. I shouldn't even have to ask; the very universe *waves hand airily in a vague, all-encompassing manner* should just be providing these things for me automatically. Because, you know, I am a BNF and I'm supposed to get perks. Heh.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Oh, you THINK you're deserving of perks. That's what's wrong with you types.

Shame on them, denying you the porn rightfully yours. Shame on them!

And if you missed my entry, I got your CDs!!!! The music is very cool and the covers absolutely beautiful. Though I had to google "Ginger Grant" to find out who the fuck she is. *g*

What? They do not have Gilligan's Island reruns playing constantly on Finnish TV? I wanted to be Ginger, though it seems that most people wanted to be the wholesome castaway, Mary-Ann. Feh. Ginger wore sequinned dresses and false eyelashes every damn day on that island.

I'm glad you like them. I have a lot of fun putting them together, and I like to think it shows ;)

Now that's funny. Most of the girls I knew wanted to be Ginger, but I wanted to be Mary Ann. 8-)

Oh, and on a totally self-pimping note, have you read my W100 entry, Sloth and Gluttony, The Early Years?

cool, i'm glad we're into this yaoi thing at the same time. Now, of course, I don't really understand the computer stuff you are talking about. So, do you want to watch videos over the computer? Is that's what happening here?

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

If I could find some gay tentatcle cartoon porn, that would be so cool, but right now I just want to get ANYTHING.

As the to technical aspects, do you know Kazaa? It's a more private version of that kind of downloading. But I had to pay a few dollars for a service so that the person with the files can share them with me using that service...and the stupid service isn't acknowledging my payment.

Except I just now finally got an email from a human. We'll see how this goes...

Seriously! How come it's only the school girls who are violated in every orafice by tentacles?! Heh. I'm reminded of that thing Lenore did recently for our amusement. Good stuff.
