oh i can't wait to watch this...unfortunately i have to go to class. :( college would be so much better if we didn't have the classes. lol

~i am bisexual.  you are confused.~

I have to say that's something that has been bothering me for a looooooong time. Trought school, any students that were smart and better in class then the others (unless they happened to be hot and sexy) were looked down by all the other. From elementary to collegue....seriously i dont get it. Now people who are good at school or not necessarly intelligent, they just happen to be good at memorising.... But anyone who show a little bit of culture or intelligence are snobbed and overlooked. But its seem the world prefer tall, very full of breast and blond. Nothing against blonde, but they are not the one who catch my eyes first. And the quality of tv isnt that great either. Its like the world is on the shallow side.

Beside, my friend and i are wondering, is the crock-poc the new toaster-over? :P Or is it the next level ;) ?

Totally love the blog and the bitchyness!

I could so relate to the voice mail thing... On the other hand I am also very bad with all communication and I too wonder how I still have friends... ;-)

by the way: the glasses look great, Sarah!!!

I hope you two feel a lot better now the bitchy part of you is out. It's called venting!

Hey, It's a monday.  I rarely answer my voicemail. I'm so bad about that. I hate leaving voicemail messages b/c I never know what to say in such short words. Email is my favorite communication newtork. I will remember that Malinda, that you like emails.

What a fantastic way to get my tuesday morning started (:

I have been doing some solid bitching for the last week now, and it really does releive a lot of tension. The women in my office have been bitching about how two blonde large breasted chicks in the office are getting all the male attention, when they are far smarter and in my opinion sexier. I tried to rub off on them, BBC style,  unfortunately it wasn't succesfull, weird (;

I love that a week after Tina Fey exclaims "Bitch is the new black" the Lo-Down dresses in black to bitch!  Brilliant!

On the topic of voicemail, I gotta say that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people DON'T leave voicemails.  Because I figure if you were calling me, it must be for a reason, and I want to know what that reason is!  Otherwise, I'm not going to  return your call.  But texting is wonderful!  Especially when concise and with a point!

Again, great vlog you two!  I always look forward to the Lo-Down!

You bitched about several issues that I've also had in store for the world.

The best by far is the voicemail rant. I. HATE. Voicemail. In fact, my voicemail message goes something like this: "You've reached Chrissy. Please leave a message if this is an emergency. Otherwise, sit tight and I will return your call at my convenience."

Now, what can we deduce from this message? A) I don't want to listen to you telling me you miss me, wanna see me, or for me to call you back. I can read my missed calls! B) I value my freedom of self and do not want to be at YOUR convenience. Which means that I will get back to you when I damn well please!!! C) Learn the goddamned meaning of an EMERGENCY. And for the love of all that is sacred, will it really kill you to just shoot me an EMAIL? Because if you and I are really friends, you already know that it is the best way to reach me. So do it!!!

You see, I've needed to rant about that.

Your second well made point, is about the raging lack of intelligence that presents itself in various idiotic forms in the queer community. My special brand of anger is directed to the lesbians. Why are there so many queer womyn just screaming moron for the world to hear? I stopped attending my local queer womyn's club this past summer because of the instinctive repulsion I felt when I would walk into what always seemed to be a meat market. It was nothing more than a recreation of the heteronormative bullshit which called for every second lesbian to address me as: "shawty" and get offended when they deemed me--PROPER.

W.T.F?

Proper? She thinks I speak "proper". And by that, I deduced that she thought I spoke "white" or that I was "educated" or that really...I could string a few sentences together that made sense. Can we dissect this??? It needs dissecting.

My education has afforded with a kind of social capita that allows for me to communicate (for the most part) effortlessly in the face of the thinking mind. And really, I am so sorry if you are not THAT thinking mind. I don't go around attacking your blatant stupidity in social settings, what gives you the right to demean me?

Wow, that felt good to get off my chest.

I don't do usually employ bitchy tactics but, I do so hope that I used good bitch etiquette in those last two Bitchfests.

Toodles,

I think Mensa is mentioned a lot to bring to mind the prototypical conceited and anal-retentive smartie. We've all met someone like that and felt disgusted by their ego and absurd detail fussing. Hopefully, not everyone in Mensa is like that. Probably not. I don't know.

What about a pleasant smart chick? Easy-going. Not smug. Would you talk to her before a not-as-intellectual-but-more-physically-attractive gal?

P.S. Congratulations on your book deal Malinda! :) Gay fairy tales are a great idea.

this week's screen capture is really cute. And I love that Sarah P's first bitch of the day about having to wear her spectacles is our first exciting moment - spectacles are a good thing! a very good thing.

Going by all your rules of bitching, I wouldn't be very good at it - though I'm a master ranter and complainer. And I make an excellent bitch. Though as Helen Fielding said, we all have inner bitches somewhere, it's just whether we let them out or not.

The thing with Scarlett Johansson is that while she's known for her mammaries, she's not stupid either. Well, she doesn't seem stupid. Or maybe it's just because Hollywood is so stupid that anyone who's not Paris Hilton seems intelligent. What I don't like is when perfectly normal intelligent women try to deliberately make themselves seem stupid so they'll seem more attractive - come on, Jessica Simpson cannot be as stupid as she seems. It's impossible for anyone to be that stupid. Or is it?

another great lo-down! malinda, i am really glad you said that about voicemail. i thought i was the only on who hated it with a passion. my frustration begins when i hear "please enter your password". i enter my password correctly and the hear "that is not the correct password, please enter your password again", and then the ever irritating "are you still there?" if you wait to long before entering an option at the end. why the hell would it ask you some stupid thing like that? as if you were not there on the other line?!! anyways, thanks. i needed that!:P

here are some topics suggestions for you two:

you watch american idol, malinda? i would love to hear your guyses views on that show. what about the contestants?

how has doing this vblog changed you life? :)

Desirable qualities in a bitch: 4. Understands that bitching is not complaining, it is judging

That cracked me up. It is so true...

Big Busty Blonde room: Where can I find it? And yeah, of course smart is sexy *grin*

Voicemail: Malinda, if you hate voicemail so much why don't you just switch it off? 

I don't get people who are easily offended...that's probably why I tend to offend them... 

- - - - - - - - - -

-Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Who doesn't blog these days?

Malinda, I love your bitch about specific texting. Invaluable judgment.

p.s.
Sarah looks awesome in glasses.

Okay I'm totally joking about that one.
I agree with Malinda, texts are for finding people when you're in a loud place. Or you have something interesting that you want to share, just get straight to the point.

People who go "guess what?" is a waste of a text. I get 100 sent text messages with my cell phone plan, and for each additional message it costs something like 25 cents. So texting back a response of "what" is really not worth a quarter!!!!

Let me bitch about people who complain about people who don't return text messages. I have a friend who does this. E.g. Why don't you text me anymore? I'm so bored. The weather sucks.

Okay that's fine and dandy but what the hell do you expect me to say back? Oh ya the weather sucks? Again, this is not worth 25 cents.

I would like to defend Sarah's right to 'bitch' about her contacts. That is not complaining, even though not everyone has contacts, people know what contacts are and the purpose of it. I always bitch about work, not only to colleagues, but to my friends who are non-nurses or non -health care professionals. The thing is, people can relate, because it is still a common subject 'work' even though it's nursing, there are many themes that are transferable to any type of work setting.
Therefore, I bitch, I don't complain!

Ah... the conceited smart people, who specifically talk about intelligent subjects not because they are interesting subjects, but only because the subject is 'intelligent'. These people have no friends.

Bitching about white people!

Sarah, I love you for bringing this up!!!

I have a ton of white friends, but I also have a ton of asian friends and other race friends. I talk to them a bit differently than when I talk to white people (in some respects). It's so mean, but we always laugh about typical white people food (as opposed to Chinese food). E.g. salads... in my group of asian friends, we rarely eat salad, when we go home and our family cooks for us, they never serve salad.
White people who don't know how to use chopsticks, or have never eaten sushi before (or find it gross) we like to laugh at that too. Is that mean? Yes. Is it a discriminatory? No not really. They make fun of us for... I dont know... let's say, being unable to drink alcohol because some of us do not have the genetic enzyme to metabolize alcohol, which means... I get really sick after having more than 1 drink.

Bitching topics:

- People who push religion

- Bitchy teenage girls who work in retail or other service industry

- People who don't eat meat (THIS ONE REALLY BOTHERS ME- you're not the one who is actually cutting the chicken's head off, so why do you feel bad?)

- People who park their cars using up two parking spaces when there is so much room on either side, and that is the only spot left in the lot.

- unreliable people, or undependable people (e.g. when you make plans and they consistently cancel on you for really stupid reasons, or lending someone money or clothes and they say that they will get it back to you at the end of the week, but really you've kissed the shirt and money bye bye.

I don't half love the low down :) I watch it on the bus and i'm always gettign wierd looks for laughing. You two crack me up. I especially loved the lines on this one about the 'gorce' and 'it is not complaining, it is judging'.

I'm totally with you Sarah on the contacts thing. I HATE my glasses. It feels like i'm wearing a cloud on my eyes when i've got glasses on because they're just never quite clean enough for me. I LOOOVE my contacts...when they work, and they don't rub, or rip or fall out my eyes. And don't feel bad for whining about them...i bitch and moan non stop about my eyes lol.

Malinda i'm also with you and specific texting...i'm an essay texter. What i say in a text really should require a phone call haha. But i am partial to the odd 'Hey, what's up? I'm well bored' text. 

 But i gotta say...i love voicemail. There's something about it that i love. I think it's cos it's like a text, and i love getting texts, that speaks to you...it's like...ooooh a talking message :)

 So yeah. bitchy-ness rules! You two are great when you're bitching!

That aint no Etch-a-Sketch...

 i finally had time to watch your bitchtastic vlog. i had a bitch of a week so your vlog was what i needed.

thank you for another fun vlog

ps Sarah glasses are HOT!!!

................................................................................................   but we´re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

the two of you have excellent on screen chemistry....looking forward

to more.  Would love to see you in a tV series as cop partners out lesbians.

Smart funny and bitchy when needed.   

If you are on a date (at a restauarant) what is the most appropriate thing to order?

Or, what are the foods you should order, and what are the foods you should NEVER order. (I only thought of this because I was dying at a Thai restaurant last night because I can't handle spice)
