eMusic Plottings

I have a confession to make. I have taken eMusic's 50 free song downloads introductory deal and shamelessly manipulated it to get more than 50 free downloads. Yes, it's true. See, the deal is, if you sign up, using your email address and your credit card, for a new subscription (I always get the basic plan, which is just around 10 bucks for 30 downloads/month), you get an extra fifty downloads your first month. So the clever scheme I came up with was to use my many email addresses and many credit/debit cards to sign up for new subscriptions and get more free downloads! Work email, gmail, hotmail, BoA credit card, AFCU debit card, MCU debit card, you name it, I used it. HA! I totally beat the system*. And now, they're offering me an extra fifty free downloads to come back to eMusic on my gmail account, which means I'm going to re-join and then cancel after a month! It's so diabolically evil**, and I love it. In fact, as I write this, I have my hands steepled in front of me (which is tricky, since I'm also typing...) and I'm muttering "Excellennnnttttt..." at my brilliant conniving.

* I really didn't beat the system, because I always forget to cancel the stupid subscription and end up being on the plan for at least half a year. Then I finally do remember, but haven't yet used up all the downloads for the month, so I decide to wait until I've used them. Then I forget again, and the process repeats itself. In fact, I'm almost positive that I'll re-join and forget to cancel after the first month, thus rendering my fantastic scheme useless.

** Please note that this is an exaggeration (which, as my illustrious sister Nicole once said in her blog, "is funnier than hell"). I don't really think it's diabolically evil. I mean, it's not as if I'm plotting to take over the world by stealing babies and raising them to be my own private super army augmented by genetic modifications that I'm developing in my top secret underground research facility guarded by laser-guided turrets and bear traps or anything. Wait, that's brilliant. Why didn't I think of this before? Does anyone have any surplus babies or know of anyone with surplus babies? And also nannies? Because there's no way in hell that I could raise an army of babies by myself. If you do know of surplus babies or nannies, just let me know their schedules, addresses, and possible escape routes, and I'll take care of the rest.

You're almost as funny as me, your illustrious sister.
