Look at \this LiveJournal entry\.
How fucked up is this? A beautiful blue-eyed blonde is _begging_ me to fly to a tropical island with her.
And I’m telling her no!

1. Your link in the OP is messed up.
2. Even when I got there, I could not find what you were talking about.
3. Hi, Opal!

Here’s what it says:
I have an idea. Hear me out, **Fiver**.
See, if I had $X just sitting around the place, collecting dust, I’d be all, dude, this place is so freaking dusty. I must rid myself of some few hundred dollars.
I applaud you for saving enough money to keep yourself alive whilst in-between jobs.
But let’s face it, sugar. You don’t need every single penny of that cash right now. You’ve got a secure job.
Besides, would a trip to St. Thomas really break you? No, I don’t think it would. I think it would actually be a good thing for you. Here’s why I say that:
You’ve stressed over the unemployment thing. You need to relax. Get your mind off of it. Step back and rethink the life-job-stress thing.
Come now. Fly down with me. Your boss not only can but will give you the days off if you tell him that…hell, if you need a lie I’m sure some others here can help me come up with something. Anyways, you can do this. I know you can. I have faith in you.
I promise you that it will be worth it.
We’re gonna have too much fun. You shouldn’t restrict yourself from having such a great time.

Dude, it’s only money.
Go.

**Fiver** , my man: You need to be goin’ _someplace_! Either on this suggested trip, or have yourself committed. My .02 worth.
