hello, goodbye

note my conversation with Customer Serivce, regarding my lil' music player, located in Oklahoma (or somewhere equally distasteful)

CustomerService *with oakie accent*: what is your email address?
SmartPineapple *congested and completely inauditabe*: r_ross@umail.ucsb.edu
CustomerService: r_ross@umail.ussc?
SmartPineapple: r_ross@umail.ucsb.edu
CustomerService: r_ross@umail.ussc.edu
SmartPineapple: u, as in uranus, c, as in cat, s, as in satan, b, as in brown
CustomerService *frustrated*: Ma'am, why don't you just tell me what the name of your school is so that we can move on?
SmartPineapple: University of California, Santa Barbara
CustomerService *with utter distaste*: alright then.

what? you don't have to be rude. just because i've spent my whole life in the bestest states of the union and you have to suffer through dustbowl-esque summers and horrible fat people- i can't help it if i'm from California and you're from *gasp* Oklahoma. i didn't sneer at your accent, did i? you don't like my state because it's a blue state and i don't like your state because you seem stupid and backwards. glad we can agree.

thank you. now learn to play nice with other children.
