so this girl and I have been intarnet girlfriend and boyfriend for a substancial amount of time, around 2 weeks. We have gone through thick and thin together, online.
but now I have modified a few pictars of her and she is all freakin out. Just because now she is cupping janets boob, she is scaring off Frank Grimes from the simpsons, is on the news channel on the simpsons, is fighting Bill from kill bill, and some more...like humping pics....wait were was I, or yeah, now she wants to dump me.
I have been nothing but good to my intarnet girlfriend....I fight off people hitting on her. I am always on msn, and drunk, waiting to talk. I mean, I am the perfect intarnet boyfriend.
so I have a few more options....
1. photoshop her into good pictars.
2. photoshop me into bad pictars.
3. photoshop whiskers into funny pictars.
4. beg
5. dump her quickly before we are officially through...then I win.
but really, if you think about it. it is unfair and I am confused as to what to do. I thought she looked good in those pictars. Plus it shows off my photoshop skills, and it took me a lotta time to do.
and to keep in the spirit of classic relation threads here, I will make this post way too long......so here is a 4 page report I did on the RIAA, it reminds me of struggle I am going through with my intarnet love of my life.....
The Record Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.) has been fighting fiercely lately in the battle over copyright infringement over the internet. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s (DMCA) expedited subpoena provision, the R.I.A.A can now send out subpoenas to Internet Service Providers (I.S.P.) and they must give out information on the user in question. In July the R.I.A.A flooded the court system with close to a thousand such subpoenas. These users, which range from 13 year old children to 65 year old grandparents, can face 3 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. The R.I.A.A also said recently that they will be suing these users to send a message to others. This seems to be the wrong direction the fight against online piracy should take.
The dilemma over downloading music from the internet began to gain steam around four years ago when the program Napster was in its prime. Napster is a program that users download and connect to. Once connected, the user can search through and download the music files of everyone connected. Napster caught on at colleges and universities everywhere, and soon internet usage at these institutions raised as high as 30 times that before the program was invented. This is when the R.I.A.A got involved and sued Napster. After much reform, Napster, when it opens again, is going to be legit. As expected, however, there were countless programs following in the footsteps of Napster.
The turn for the worst in this growing fight started when a court found that services like Napster are legal, it is the users that are doing the illegal activities. Since this decision, the R.I.A.A has been tirelessly pursuing anyone and everyone they can. Instead of exercising other options of downloading and sharing music, the R.I.A.A chose to incriminate those who share music. One example of their unfair lawsuits happened back in April when they sued 19 year old college freshman Jesse Jordan. Luckily, Mr. Jordan settled out of court for $12,000. That seems like an outrageous amount of money to be taking from a 19 year old. I would think that the $12,000 would be better used for a different, more R.I.A.A friendly solution to sharing music online.
One such solution to the problem is to pay a small fee to download each song. iTunes is one such system implemented by Apple. They charge $.99 for each song downloaded. This is defiantly a step in the right direction as it does not place criminal charges on anyone, does not fine anyone incredible amounts of money, and it still supports the rights of the artists being downloaded. Another plus side to this is that the downloader knows exactly what they are downloading. There have been many encrypted viruses spread throughout the networks of Kazaa (Kazaa is a similar program to Napster). A user of Kazaa can never know the true quality of the song they are downloading, but with iTunes the user will always know the specifications of each song. This alternative solution to the so called problem of online music sharing was never exercised by the R.I.A.A.
While it is important to have consequences to breaking the law, a viable option should be made available. Previous law suits against music sharing companies has only spawned better ways of sharing music and more resentment towards the R.I.A.A. Many people have even grown distaste for certain artists (e.g. Metallica, The Dixie Chicks, and Missy Elliot) as a result of this fight against piracy. All of the lawsuits and hatred prove to me that this fight against copyright infringement is not going in the right direction. Instead of wasting money on litigations, more money should be invested in a compromise between people who share music and the R.I.A.A.
so in closing I am hoping someone can help me put my life back on track after this massive derailing. |

I guess she doesn't like the (as she sees it) negative attention.
Treat her like the (pavlov's) dog she is Mr Psychology man. Make her think it is time to eat every time you ring a bell.
That or drink more is always a good resort.

| Dude, you did the wrong thing. You embarressed her. And you've only known her for 2 weeks. I've known my beloved for over 6 months, and I would NEVER do anything like that. Try to appologize to her as best as you can, and if she dosn't, beg, kiss, huggle, etc. You fscked this up yourself man. |
