That was annoying

I just got six text messages on my phone. Well, eight, if you include the administrative messages from AOL which preceded them. But some AIM user named "piiiars" just hit me with a barrage of six messages, which amount to some major emo directed at...

...well, somebody. But not me. I think. "If I offended you online, that's no reason to block me."

Huh?

Well, I just did block this person, because I don't like getting text messages in the first place (but grudgingly accept that sometimes they're the correct tool for the job), and I especially don't like getting text message spam, and I also don't like getting text messages from random AIM users who can't aim (pardon the pun). So I have blocked all of AIM from my cell phone.

If, for any reason, you had wanted to send me a text message via AIM, you will henceforth fail in the attempt. However, as this "piiiars" person (whom I can't find online, and that's the extent of my caring) is the first person to AIM me, I don't think this applies to anyone who is reading this.

If, OTOH, you are "piiiars", please tell me who you are, what the hecque you're talking about, and we'll converse in a more appropriate medium than the electronic version of sticking a post-it note on my door.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is receiving large numbers of phone calls from the supporters of "Limits on Marriage" (the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in California) about his comment to a group of Log Cabin Republicans that he wouldn't support a constitutional amendment.
We don't want him to go back on his word.
He must hear from us too.
The aide I spoke to yesterday was so glad I called as most of his calls were from the "other side." Now it is automated and you will not talk to anyone, just push the number for pro Supreme Court decision.
Call, email or write him and thank him for his declining to support this initiative. (They don't ask what state you are from, by the way.)

To email go to http://gov.ca.gov/interact, hit email tab and select Supreme Court decision on Same Sex Marriage. On the next screen you must click PRO. It's a little confusing since we're talking about the initiative for which we are con. Then just a couple of words of thanks are all you need. No long letter which no one will read anyway.
