Yo. I didn't update over break. Sue me. Final Fantasy XIII and Pokémon Black were begging to be played (seriously, Lightning is hot).
My computer has been running incredibly slow as of late. And up until now, I couldn't figure out why. Now that I know, I'm deeply confused. Hurt, even. The culprit was Google Chrome.
I've stated before that I'm a bit of a Google fan-boy. So this crime against my RAM by Chrome feels like a punch in the gut. Why Chrome, why you hog RAM? What RAM do to you? It's kind of upsetting.
When Chrome first launched, I was all over that shit, and it wasn't even on a Mac yet. I made literally all of my friends download it, then make it their default browser (this was easy, I only had three friends in '08). And then I waited, like a kid waiting for Santa, for Chrome to launch on Mac. And when it dead, I almost screamed. I love Google.
And ever since the launch on Mac, I've used Chrome almost exclusively. When I sit down at a computer that doesn't have Chrome, I put Chrome on. Chrome is my friend.
Or so I thought.
(Warning, non-nerds may not know what I'm talking about in this paragraph. I'm sorry.) It seems that Chrome renders each tab as a separate process. This is beneficial to the individual tab, because it allows the browser to devote its full attention to every tab, loading all of them separately, simultaneously. Provided your computer can handle that. My computer, with it's lovely 2 Gigs of RAM, cannot.
These individual rendering processes have taken anywhere from 350 Megabytes total to 1 Gigabyte total. That's just not okay Chrome. I do other shit when I'm browsing the Internet. Stop pretending I have a super-computer. Take me for what I am. I JUST WANT TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL!
What?
On another note, the thorn in the side of the Internet, or Anonymous, as they are more commonly known, is starting to piss me off. Sometimes they do funny things. This is not one of those times. Hacking the PSN, shutting it down, and planning to attack Sony further is not only stupid, it's just plain evil. The only people these jackasses are hurting is the end-users. Which is ironic, because they claim to be "trying to protect them." Consumers are never collateral. People in general are not collateral. Saying bullshit like that puts you on the same level as the Nazis. Oh, wait...
Anonymous stopped being funny when they started going power-crazy. And now they're just out of control. This kind of shit is ridiculous. I'll stop talking about it, because most complaints about what's right or wrong on the Internet fall on troll ears. And there's no way to get trolls to shut up once they start. It's like talking to a five-year-old.
All the crap I just said makes me feel a little bit like Chris Crocker. LEAVE THE PSN ALONE! IT'S A HUMAN! IT'S GOING THROUGH A REALLY ROUGH TIME RIGHT NOW!
You can kill me now.
Topic change. I went to my cousin's Sweet 16 this past weekend, and I actually learned something new. Girls from the ages 14 to 17 are little whores (except my cousin and sister, apparently). Seriously. There was not one girl there (again, save for my family) with a dress below her knees. That would be sort of okay, if they weren't 15 year-olds. Jail-bait, how I hate you. I hate you so much.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with the world? How do these girls get out of the house wearing a dress that resembles a tightly wrapped towel (actually, some towels are bigger than those dresses)? I swear, if my dad caught me wearing that...
Never mind.
It really bothers me that this is the direction the nation's youth is heading. This is not okay. 15 year old girls should not be wearing outfits that scream "wardrobe-malfunction waiting to happen". Who made that okay? Or, more importantly, why was this not made okay when I was younger? Maybe I would have agreed with it back then...
Oh, and to the three girls that winked at me at that party: I'm five years older than you, and I have a girlfriend. You are not more interesting than her. You are a child. Date people your own age and stop dressing like a slut.
LIST TIME!

Title Song:
For You, and Your Denial
By Yellowcard
Off of When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes
That album is pretty sweet, especially since it's Yellowcard's return after a rather disgruntling hiatus.
That's all for today folks. I'm going to go soak my face in Oxi-Clean.
