The Little Shits: Got What They Deserved!!

Ok, remember my whole eBay scam thing...a few posts down? Well, our friend FF (FuckFace) has been found GUILTY!!

So this means that i get my $205usd back! The whole amout i payed.....they r putting it in my account as we speak! Revenge has been sweet FF, its sad that u thought u could get away with it. U r so sad.

Here's his email address if anyone wants to send him a nasty email or screw with him in any way: dennisss.de.wit@gmail.com. I think im gonna put his address into countless amounts of sites that want your email address to send u adds and newsletters and crap.

Fucker

So, eBay is still fabulous and my heros. I will keep everyone posted as to my next eBay bid and purchase, although i think im gonna wait for the summer!

V-Day...Where are u??

Yes, my V-day this year went missing....Shaun was sick (yet again) and so we couldnt go to the yummy seafood restaurant downtown i made reservations at. Instead i went over to his place after running some errands and rented The Notebook for us to watch (as a romantic love story movie).

I gave shaun a sappy card and a mini box of ferrero roches cuz those r his favourite. I gave him a foot massage cuz he was feeling like crap. We watched the movie, which was really amazing. I understand why it's sold and rented out everywhere. I wanna buy it!

I fell asleep at his place cuz i was so tired, and came home this morning.

Other than that, it just felt like a regular, non special day. I wasn't expecting diamonds or pearls since we had decided that going for dinner and spending time together to celebrate us would be best. And i really did like spending quality time with him (as in, he didn't fall asleep during the movie for once!!) but i still feel like my v-day was jipped. (Although i love shaun no matter what).

Maybe it is just a stupid holiday with expectations that are too high.

What do u think of v-day and how did u spend it?

ps, im very excited about my Sex and the City Fest! lots of girls r coming!

The Most Fabulous Weekend EVER!

This weekend was my most fabulous Paradosi dance performance that i told everyone about like 3 months ago....I thank those of you who came very much. U Rock!

so here's how it went. Last week i was in greek dance mode since sunday. we had practice on sunday, tuesday, thursday and of course friday. thursday and friday were basically sound and lighting checks and on saturday morning we had to be at Crystal Fountain in the morning to help set up the centre pieces. It was nuts.

The group from Greece who came to perform with us were all in their 30's and were pretty cool (although it sucked cuz i dont' speak greek!) but they were awesome regardless. The really liked all of us too and thought that we danced great, which we do!

On thursday night, we went to Megas restaurant on the Danforth, and since Fotiadis (the group from greece) has their own intruments, they broke out into song, and we broke out into dance! (of course!) What is really specktacular though is the next night when after practice we all went to shoeless joe's at 401 and markham, and we broke out into song and dance there too! im sure we scared all those scarberians! Whatever, we gave them a show!

The show on friday went really well and we are going to have a dvd of it too. People were in awe of how amazing it was actually, and some were left in tears! There were about 400 ppl in the theatre. Saturday night was amazing as well because there were about 600 ppl watching and there was such hype from the night before. It was awesome cuz we got to dance and eat after and hang out with our friends and family.

Also, shaun's parents met my family for the first time and totally hit it off! My mom invited them over for dinner with the whole family too, which is amazing. Another exciting part of the night was when I actually got shaun to join the line and start dancing...it took a bit, but he finally got it! i was sooo proud! the music was pretty fast too....but he had an awesome time doing it. We danced the rest of the night away!

What a week!

The Little Shits on Ebay....

Ok, well, i have had the whole weekend to think about this issue and i decided not to post anything about it when i found out cuz i was ready to burst out into tears at any second. Its getting better though....

sooo, i bid on this 40 gig apple iPod on ebay from some dude (lets call him FuckFace, FF for short) in the Netherlands. I won the auction and payed the $250cad to FF on the same day (Jan. 23). Since he is shipping from overseas, I realize that I must be patient and wait for it to come.

In the mean time, in class one day, I happened to be reading the most HILARIOUS story about a guy who scammed a scammer with the sale of the P-P-P-Powerbook. If you have time i highly suggest reading it (and the pics r soooo worth it!)! So after reading this elaborate scam story, i just happened to think about my ebay purchase, and decided to check out FF's status for shits and giggles. To my horrified belief i found THIS! Not only are his 5 most recent feedbacks negative, they also show that he is a total fraudster cuz he has hidden messages in a few of the other items in the descriptive information section saying that he is only selling a link of where to get the iPod cheap. What an ass!

So, as you can see, after reading and having a good chuckle about the scammer that got scammed, i got scammed myself.....i was all red and ready to cry in class!

here's what i'm doing about it though, and its looking like im gettin my moulah back! Since i payed with paypal, i filled a complaint with them and gave them the details. What basically happens is that if the seller can't come up with proof of shippment of the item or if they don't respond within 10 days of being contacted, it is assumed by paypal that they don't want to resolve the issue and paypal will go into their account and get my money back! yayyy!!! FF is goin dowwnnnnnnn!!!

Dougy gave me some really good info. Since eBay is a marketplace, they are responsible for people to be true to their word. Listing an item on ebay is a legally binding thing. When someone wins an auction, they are legal bound to that item and bound to paying for it, just as the seller is bound to giving that item to the winner for whatever price they won it for.

Now that my complaint is filed, they just need to resolve it, and i get my money back. Im pooped now, so i must go to be!

nighty night!
