pick a format darn it!

alright... imma try to go back to being the normal hilariously sarcastic me for a little bit... this floating on cloud 9 thing is totally exhausting, and i'm tellin ya, my face hurts from all this damned smiling and laughing. lol. [yeah i know, poor poor me right? haha]

so right now i'm going to bitch and moan about the whole insense [insence?]
industry.

ummmm can we stick to a single style please?? just pick one, and go with it. i dont care what it is, honest i dont. just pick one goddamned shape and make that the industry standard! what is bringing on this little rant of mine? well... i went out to get a new insense [i dont know how to spell the word okay? for once, i honestly do not know how to spell a word. goodness, like i'm a walking dictionary or something :P] holder, cuz well, i cant find my old one... more than likely it was in a box that i tossed out without thoroughly going through, or something... but yeah. so i got one. a pretty one, with a lid, and a little drawer for the insense sticks. it'll work great for the stuff i already have, but all i have left at the moment is vanilla [not that i'm complaining mind you, i love vanilla more than life itself] and i really wanted some jasmine.
[i adore jasmine too, just not quite as much as vanilla... jasmine is my third favorite scent. vanilla first, then lavender, THEN jasmine].

so i'm looking through the selection the guy has got... most of it in boxes so you cant tell what it looks like without breaking seals [i think that was on purpose...] and i find cones of it... which i dont have a holder for, nor do i want one. cones just arent as pretty. [what? insense isnt about looking pretty? bullshit. why else do they make the sticks all sorts of different colors? what? to tell the different scents apart? oh... well... oh. *pouts* i thought it was so they looked pretty] besides, cones are just a pain in the ass to light and they just burn funky and i dont like them. so i finally find a box of the stick kind. great. yay. i'm happy. until after i buy the stuff and finally get to open the box. they're not the regular kind... you know, with the thin part that sticks in the holder... nooo not these. they're missing that particular bit... and need a metal holder thats designed for them... which i do not own. bleh. so yeah... can we freakin pick a format people? i mean really. cones, sticks with thin parts to fit wooden holders, or sticks without thin parts that need metal holders. just freakin pick one. [and hopefully not cones cuz i hate cones. with a passion]
eh. at least the holder i picked out is pretty :D all carved n stuff. nice.

so... vanilla insense it is... tonite after i've finished frying my brain on business homework and am trying to relax and chase all the numbers outta my head by talking to my army boy :)
