Day 10 - Boycott Something That Has Never Been Boycotted Before

First things first, because I'm slacking a bit lately --

The horriblescopes for today because I'm sure thousands of Aries' rely on my ability to cut and paste kcrachannel.com's email horoscopes before they can do ANYTHING with their day:

Horoscopes For Today: 11/16/2005
At the moment, there's nowhere else you'd rather be than home, and while
you can't click your heels together and get yourself there, probably because of
a work situation, all you can think about is shuffling through the front
door, pulling down the shades and curling up with the cat on the couch. Fade to
black. That's not the kind of thing you'd ever do, though -- unless you'd
really had it with the entire world.

Well, I wish I had a cat because that sounds nice.

Now, on to business!
Boycott something that has never been boycotted. Hrm.
What the hell hasn't been boycotted? I started the day thinking ok, I'll boycott work. But no, I actually had to do work once I got there. Then I thought, I'll boycott kids since I had to rush through my lunch signing various paperwork in regards to their fucking RIDICULOUSLY expensive childcare and I was very hungry.
Then - boycott eating at lunch time.
Then - my mom called. Viola! Boycott parents!

In the end the choice was made for me: Boycott natural gas. Why? Well my landlord has again had to turn off the gas to my nearlyallgas apartment. So, no hot water (read: no shower). No stove (read: no food), no heater (read: not sleeping at home alone tonight!)

It drives me insane that I pay this man to rent this place and for whatever reason I have to spend large amounts of time sleeping and shower and eating out due to various problems. Besides, I really thought at this point he would start putting up for a hotel and I think technically that is exactly what he is supposed to do, but no.

I slept elsewhere last night but woke up late so did not get to shower. I had to go to another friends house to borrow her shower this evening but if you have ever had first hand experience with my hair then you know by tomorrow I'll be freaking out again since I can't brush my afro hair while it's dry unless I for some reason want an even bigger afro. Theoretically, the gas will be on tomorrow morning sometime (while I'm at work so who cares...) but at the same time it was supposed to be on tonight. I'm considering staying home tomorrow and bribing the inspector to turn it on long enough to heat the house up and to fill the tub with boiling water so I can soak myself...

Has anyone ever considered boycotting boycotts?

Some other boycotting ideas:

Boycotting boyfriends?

Boycotting foods that start with certain letters like "m" or "s" or some other spiteful letter?

Boycott a PC group like PETA or NOW or Weave or ??? They do enough boycotting, show them how it feels!

How about boycotting redundant double consonant letters? How about boycoting redundant double consonant leters? Those dastardly double leters don't realy help the word. Keep the double vowels because they actualy change the sound but the double consonant just takes up extra time, space, ink and virtual memory. From now on type: boycot, leter, asistant, runing, bloger, coment, witles, etc.

I think I've already boycotted boyfriends.

How in the hell can you be so clever so damn early in the morning? I'm so tired I think I might actually die. Can you die from exhaustion? Really, I have to keep reminding myself to breath!

Lack of sleep makes me clever! At first, at least. Now that its afternoon, I keep forgetting common nouns.
