Julie's Journal

The most scariest freaking thing in the world happen to me this morning.

I was admiring my skin in the mirror thinking to myself, “Wow self…that moisturizer is doing a good job. Your skin is looking really good lately, but you might want to use a Biore strip on those nose black heads,” when the HUGEST.HAIRIEST.BLACKEST fucking spider EVER crawled down the side of my hair turbine that had been on my head for at least 5 minutes.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, “MICHAEL MICHAEL MICHAEL – OMG OMG OMG” and started ripping off my turbine, my robe, my slippers, everything. He came storming in the bathroom thinking I was dying and right behind him were both cats all wide eyed wondering what the hell this crazy woman was doing.

I was SCREAMING – PRANCING – JUMPING around and hiding in the closet pointing to the turbine on the ground, “KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT”. Then I started hyperventilating.

That just scared the hell outta me. This thing looked like a prop for a haunted house. It was GIMONGOUS! Happy Halloween!

I’m looking forward to seeing the new video by Moby tonight featuring the hottest chick in rock and roll, Debbie Harry. You can see the US premiere of Moby’s "New York, New York" feat. Debbie Harry (Blondie) tonight on where else but singingfool.com. The hottest place for new videos on the internet.

Has anyone ever attended a consumer focus group? I have heard about them before but never fully understood what they were or how one was to participate in them. I got a call from the Las Vegas Consumers on Saturday asking me to participate in a focus group on Thursday night about Quizno’s delivery service.

Well we ordered Quizno’s delivery the other night and I guess they give out your name and phone number. Not something I remember them asking me if it was okay by the way, but I’m sure it’s in the fine print there on their web site. Reading fine print is not something you do when you are starving.

So yes, for 1.5 hours on Thursday I’m going to go down to their office and talk about my Quizno’s delivery experience. My compensation? $70.00 bucks in cash out the door! w00t! The interesting thing is that our order was wrong. They brought two of the wrong sandwiches and I had to call them to bring back out the right ones. I don’t know about you but being paid $70 bucks to bitch is right up my alley. I may make a career out of this.

Are you worried about ethical bloggers? Are you unsure if you can believe what they write just because they make monetary gain from doing just that…writing?

Well worry no more, and watch for those DisclosurePolicy.org badges to be popping up everywhere to tell you who’s doing what and why they are doing it!

If you want to join the ride them pop over there and use the Disclosure Policy Generator to create your own disclosure policy and proudly display the badge on your site. Read my disclosure policy here. What I like about it the most is that you can change the wording to suit you and your blog. It’s nothing set in stone. It’s just a stepping stone for you to expand on.

I joined back up with a group of friends tonight on a message board. I got some serious encouragement to join, so I said what the hell and signed up. I was shocked to find that I freaking FORGOT how to use the forum platform! HA!
