news/ scam/ saying
Nov. 22 News: Last night I saw 20/20. It talked about Safe Haven. It's where you can drop a baby at a hospital, fire fighter station, and police station. You can leave the child there, and not be persecuted for child abandonment. I remember back in December 31, 2007, I was at Angela's house and we talked about it.
In this episode though, the show talked about how parents are dropping off their kids and teenagers at the hospital because they can't raise them anymore. Who would have thought that there was a flaw in the Safe Haven law? People are supposed to leave their baby, and not anyone older like a 5 year old. They discussed about how there are parents who had to leave their child behind. They talked to mothers who had to deal with kids that have bipolar disorder, ADHD, and they videotaped the kids behavior.
The kids were out of control. The woman from Supernanny can't help because she helps with children's behaviour and parents' parenting methods. This needs doctors and other authority figures to help.
There was a segment where Diane Sawyer talked to Ashley Dupre who was the escort who took down Govenor Elliot Spitzer. AD says she wants to say to his wife: "I'm sorry for your pain." She doesn't really feel guilty for taking down ES because if she wasn't the call girl for him, someone else was going to be.
She didn't even know who ES was. She admitted: "He looked familiar. I didn't read the newspaper. I was so involved in my life, I was selfish." The first thing when she found out what happened was when she was watching TV. First she called her mom, then her biological dad. She didn't really have much of a relationship with him because her mom remarried when AD was 7 years old. When she was 12 years old, her 17 year old brother ran away.
When she told her brother what happened, the first thing he said was: "I love you." AD grew up in a normal home. Then she was in high school and fell into a wrong crowd of people. She was doing cocaine, ecstacy, and vodka. Then she drunkingly stumbles into a Girls Gone Wild videotape. She said that she was raped, and she blamed herself and never called the authorities.
She dropped out of high school and lived with her dad. Then she moved to New York and had 3 jobs. She wanted to have her own house and have a place called home. Then she was working at the bar, and this guy gave her a card. It was for an escort service. She put the card away and two weeks later she called the company. She then became an escort and said that it was: "A way to better myself."
She worked as an escort for three months, and then for six months she was a receptionist at a real estate office. Then she went to be an escort for another three months, and then waited tables for six months. She fell in love with this man, and she told him about her past. He said he loved her. Then they put their names on a apartment's lease. It turns out he was married with two kids and then later he called her to break it off.
She had to pay off all these credit card bills and the $3600 apartment lease. She then became an escort again. This time though she was really depressed about it. Before she saw being an escort as a way without getting hurt by guys. Being an escort was kind of like a date. You talk, have dinner, and have sex as a trade off. If she was dating a guy that she liked, later he won't call her, and then she would go to a club and she would see him making out with another girl. So being an escort was a safe way of not getting your feelings hurt. She turned down book deals, and to pose for Maxim.
Fun: Onto lighter news: There is this new woman working at the Soup place. S is 35. I asked her how old she thought I was. She guessed my age correctly on the first try. She said she was bad at the game. A lot of people guess that I'm younger, because I look young. At UP, this girl Meghan asked how old I was.
Me: 23.
M: Seriously?
Me: Yeah. Do you want to check my ID?
When I read that MADtv was going to get cancelled, that's when I tuned into it last week and tonight. I'm also on the internet too, so I'm not really watching it. That's proof that I'm making progress in cutting down on TV.
Job: I went to my job interview at HMV last week, and they still haven't called. I'm guessing I didn't get the job. I could keep hoping that later an employee gets fired or quits, and I will be the replacement.
Nov. 23 Scam: I was reading the Metro and here are some tips about scams:
-Loan scams that ask for money in advance of an agreement or the loan
-Identity theft and credit card scams
-Billing scams that ask for payment, although no service was performed or goods sold
-Home- based business scams
-Pyramid and MLM schemes that require a fee for recruiting people, not for selling products
-Charitable donations for computers, developing countries, etc., that offer tax refunds greater than your contributions.
Stay away from the pyramid scheme that is called Quixtar.
Products: Kirkland batteries are poor. I put a new one into my discman, and it says "Low battery." Go to Shoppers Drug Mart and buy their Life brand batteries. They're cheaper and last longer.
Saying: I was thinking about that saying: "Obsession is the key to my existence and yet the path to my destruction." I found that back in 2002 when I was looking at Dark Angel websites. I liked that quote so much I went and put that on my blurb in my yearbook when I graduated from high school.
I hop from obsession to obsession. I finished reading the twop.com thread to Secret Life of the American Teenager and then went to read the twop.com thread of Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl. Now I'm going to read about Danity Kane's break up on Making the Band 4 thread. Through obsession comes inspiration.
It's been hours since I wrote the above paragraph, and now I'm done reading that thread.
Movie: Today I saw this movie called The Killing Spring. It stars Zachary Ty Brian, the oldest brother in that old TV show Home Improvement. This came out in 2006. I can watch this movie because Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, The Simpsons and Family Guy aren't on tonight.
The movie was about a ex- cop turned journalism teacher at a college. She has to find out who murdered the dean. The dean slept with this teacher's wife so the husband is a suspect. The dean slept with this female student, so she could be the suspect. A cop comes and investigates. ZTB may be a suspect too because he wanted to win this contest to become an anchorman, and the winner was the female student.
The ex-cop meets this author who was attacked by these 2 guys, and he wrote a book about it. They hook up. Later, the female student is found dead, and so is ZTB. Later it's revealed that the author did it. He had attacked a prostitute and now she is in a nursing home. She recognizes him on TV as the cop was questioning her. The ex-cop then gets into a fight with the author, and they are outside. Author is about to stab her as the cop points the gun at him telling him to freeze.
Me: Shoot him!
The cop shoots him four times in the back.
It was average. I can tell it was shot in Toronto because the motel even mentioned it was in Toronto. I recognized Canadian actors from Canadian shows.
