Today's Comment	BLOG is created. It will be up tomorrow, as will a sort-of About-the-Author page, if anyone cares. =D   I just got outrun by a minivan. A minivan. If I were a guy, this would be the time for a booty call to prove to myself that I'm still... a man... ...or something. Aaaannnnyway, I gotta get to bed, read some Robin Hobb before I go to sleep. No later than 4 am tonight...aagh. Gotta be up at noon. And yeah, Jon, I know you have to be up at five thirty come Monday morning. Ha ha and zombiefication to you, my cat is eating dog food. Damn cat. --- --- --- word of the day: fuckhat

Today's Comment	Ye gods... It's not even one AM yet and already somehow I ended up stuck on ratemymelons.com for a good ten minutes. Something's wrong here. Damn you Fark! --- --- --- [edit... some time later] Wow. Usually I have something to entertain myself with this late at night... but no. I don't feel like mud.. dunno why. It's kind of weird, considering how addicted I was to it for so long. Maybe I OD'd. Hah. Oh well, happened with untoasted white bread and peanut butter. I hate both those things now, and I ate them constantly as a kid. My brain is fucking with me. =/ I plan to do some website work in the next month or so. I've got a few websites that need updating. Number one, Pimpette. The design sucks and some of my pages aren't working. So, back to work I go. Once I'm done there should be a comics section, an art section, an about-the-author page (just because), a links section (yes, section), and a blog-ish section. Angelfire blogs SUCK ASS, and if I want blogs just about anywhere else, well... I dunno. I'll have to poke around a bit. But I'm not leaving it on Dreambook forever, because I've got a max of 150 entries and I'm running out of space. Number two is clanPRA. I've promised them repeatedly that I would fix up the site, and I haven't. I don't think they care at the moment, since they're not officially together, but who knows. They might form a group again. If only to play gunbound or CF, as they've been doing for the past little while. Go gunbound and its BangBang-like qualities. I would play more but a) not for Mac and b) the people suck. I hate playing with assholes who have superiority complexes. It makes me angry. I guess I don't play CS for the same reason. Also because I have very poor reflexes, and you sort of need those in an FPS. Otherwise, like me, you get your ass kicked. PRA|Engels remains co-webmaster pretty much for good, thanks. *sigh* Well, off I go in search of blogs. If I find one that's any good (meaning it's free and I can customize it with few-if-any problems), it should be up within a few days. See ya.

Today's Comment	Ooo ooo... Been writing a side-story for Pimpette & Assc. It's about Pimpette's past, and when I'm done it'll be pretty cool. But I don't think I'll post it online until then- if I do at all. If it's good enough, maybe I'll check out costs and see about getting it done in print. Black and white, of course, because I'm poor =D So that means I'll have to get PayPal or something and sell copies. That would be cool. What I'd really like to do is find out about T-shirts - where to get them done in bulk and for how much. Of course, I'd have to have a pretty strong reader base to be able to sell all those shirts, and I don't think I have that yet. Better to wait, I guess. Still, I'd like a silkscreen tshirt done. My iron-on Pimpette shirt is starting to crack and fade already. I'd like a more permanent one... and be able to have small words that last longer than one wash.. >=/       Argh. Also, I've been thinking of making some Pimpette business cards, for those times when people ask me about my shirt. Shameless advertising! Huzzah! Ennaways, off I go to find something to do. computer screen eez tha hurt my eyes. Think I'll go draw some pre-art for the Pimpette backstory.

Today's Comment	Ah MUD... It's one of those things you never realize you missed until you start it up again. Of course, it'll be a while before I'm doing much more than swearing at my screen and using 'recall' every five minutes, but hey. Everyone's gotta (re)start somewhere. Too bad I quit in the middle of the newbie quest. I could use a good dagger right about now. *sigh* Goddamn snakes... Anyway, I got my beautiful beautiful Mac for the summer! Till July, anyway, then I have to take it back to get re-imaged and everything. Dunno when I get it back after that, but I hope it's soon. I've come to rely heavily on this pretty little machine. Especially since my own personal PC is being a piece of shit. Hey, I wonder how well zMUD will run on my 486... must remember to hook it up again and try. How dare my good computer crash just as I buy a funky new mousepad for it! Ha ha.   The middle of the night does strange things to a person. At midnight I was seized with a sudden and bizarre urge to make my bed. I even put new sheets on it... =/ That's not too bad though. Once around three AM I alphabetized my bookshelf. It's not a small bookshelf! Must be a gene in our family somewhere. My older brother's a vampire and my mom used to be an insomniac. Apparently she took apart her home phone several times when she was young because it was late and she wanted to see how it worked. Interesting. Anyway, I'm off to watch DUNE (yeah, the original Kyle-MacLachlan-with-his-goddamn-big-chin DUNE, not the more correct but less classic version) and avoid playing CF for now. If I start mudding now I'll never get to sleep, and I do have to work at some point tomorrow. I'll MUD till the sun comes up tomorrow night, because I'll have no work and NO SCHOOL. I love my program :D Night all.

Today's Comment	Fucking hydraMUD. You know, there's probably something out there that kicks this client's ass for mudding, but I suck at research and couldn't find a beach ball in a wading pool. Too bad zMUD doesn't make a Mac-compatible client, because that would be great. Oh well. Now I gotta wait for a certain person to come online so I can cry at him until the program works and I can play CarrionFields in the privacy of my own bedroom. Huzzah. So angry... It's annoying too, because I haven't played in a couple years. I'm starting again because as of 2pm today I don't have school until September. That's what, four months. Of MUD. By that time, I could have one hero-ed character (or even two, holy crap!), and know enough about CarrionFields to really enjoy myself.. ...and then have to stop playing because the next semester will be starting. Can't be playing MUD during school months... I'll never get anything done. It'll be like grade eleven all over again.. fuckin using telnet to play MUD in cyberarts while the teacher wasn't looking. Hey, at least I wasn't as noticeable as the guys playing Worms and swearing at each other across the room. My game just looked like Notepad. Meh. Stupid mud client. Guess I'll go play ff3 for a while.

Today's Comment	Guess who's been addicted to LEGO again?! That's right. Blame my xhtml teacher, who gave us a website assignment. GO LOOKIE! It probably won't be there anymore by the time May rolls around, since my semester ends THIS FRIDAY.. but hey, I don't mind. Oh yeah, if anyone knows of free ftp website hosting, let me know. I like keenspace, but I want something I can use for other things, and I don't think keenspace would be pleased with me clogging up their servers with whatever shit I decide to upload. So, yeah. Ack! Must.. stop.. hitting... command+S... I keep trying to save webpages by accident. Damn adobe's crashing problems, making me save every five seconds. Not sure whether to call it a good or a bad habit at this point.. ((shit i just did it again)) oh yeah. if you're going to go look at the Lego site, keep in mind that it may look buggy in Safari/Netscape/Opera, because it's CSS - which isn't fully compatible with everything yet. We've been assured that it will be - which is cool, because I like CSS. You know, when it works and all. --- --- --- Oh yeah Stop bashing the damn Macs! Yes, they're different from PCs, big deal. I use both. They both have good and bad points. Mac bad points being that no one makes much freeware for them that's any good (limewire can go to hell). PC bad points being... Windows. MS-DOS is cool. Windows 3.1 was cool. XP can go straight out the literal window, in my opinion. You can tell me Macs suck all you like. But you fscking gamers who tell me that can go straight to hell... Macs built your precious games. Fuck you.   Heh... had to get *that* off my chest. I'm not a Mac zealot (honestly I'm not, you should see some of the people at Durham go at it about Macs/PCs), but I'm not a PC freak either. I do love my little Powerbook though, and it's worth the thousand bucks a year I'm paying the school to use it, plus all the free programs I get. It's a very nice little machine and my tablet works in it and I can play MUD and FF3 and do photoshop like nobody's business. So there.

Today's Comment	A couple news items today. For starters, in about a month my angelfire addresses will be dead. Angelfire, bless its Tripod/Lycos-blackened heart, is shutting down email services as of May 31st. Thankfully, Google is coming out with a free email service very soon, where everyone gets a gig of storage. I've signed up for the mailing list so I can be informed when they start handing out accounts - I hate hotmail and yahoo is a pain in the ass. Angelfire was a very good email service, and it will be much missed - unless Gmail turns out to be better, in which case I will cease to care. The other piece of news concerns this very page. Dreambook, while it is very nice as a guestbook service, really sucks as a customizeable weblog (you can say Blog, but I hate how that word looks so I'll use my own terms, dammit). And though Angelfire is being a bitch by killing my three email accounts there, it offers a rather nice weblog creator - something I could eventually create on my own, I guess, but I'm lazy and don't know as much coding as I should. I'll replace this page with that one when it's finished.. it'll be hosted off my Angelfire site, which I haven't touched in ages, so there will probably be popups or banner ads or something (for which I apologize), but it's better than nothing, in my opinion. Maybe next year I'll know enough to code my own weblog (where people can leave comments and stuff, so, like a messageboard really) - or maybe Keenspace will finally unlock the Message Board Requests forum, and I can just get them to make one for me. Either way... Meh. I'm hungry. Night all.

Today's Comment	I AM NO LONGER AN UNEMPLOYED BUM! I start work at Subway on Monday at three-thirty. Huzzah! Go three-hour shifts because of training. I admit I didn't really want a job with "the food industry," but no one else is interested. =( Go figure. Oh well. I will most likely - after I'm trained and all that happy shit - be doing openings/closings a lot of the time. Apparently they've been having issues with irresponsible workers who leave food out all over the place, and who DON'T LOCK THE DAMN DOOR when they leave for the night. I mean... please. At least I know I can be that responsible =D If not... well then I get fired and begin bothering someone else to give me money. In any case, I'm happy to be finally working and not just living off my parents like I've been doing the past few years.. er, scratch that: all my life. Bah. What would really rock would be getting a job with some kind of web/design/programming people. I'm going to work hard at understanding Java and database (sql *shudder*), and all the programming stuff, because a) it's interesting and b) I'll get paid better if I can program. According to third-years that came into our Java class, anyone can be a designer, but the more valuable people are the ones who can program *too.* So long as I keep up practicing all the programming stuff (and math too, dammit), I should have it solidly in my head by at least the end of second year. That would be nice. Let's just hope I can get this laptop fee paid soon... if I can't get this computer over the summer I'll never be able to do Java. I need Project Builder and I don't know where to get any of that for PC. *sigh* So much shit... I'm going to read some Laurell K Hamilton and then go to bed. Night.

Today's Comment	I just finished watching Edward Scissorhands... Which I don't think I have ever seen before. If *you* haven't, I strongly recommend it. It's just.. everything is so *good* about it. **waves Tim Burton flag** I've been sitting here for about five minutes now trying to write a coherent sentence about *why* I liked it so much and I can't seem to do it. I just... loved it. Edward (Johnny Depp) was just so innocent and nice, and the teenagers mostly such jerks (with not-so-wonderful acting, but oh well), and the women.. **puffs smoke out the ears** The *women* - except for Kim (Winona Ryder) and the mom (Dianna Weist), who I alternatively liked and was annoyed at - were all IDIOTS and DITZES and ... and a whore =/ But very very good movie. I have to really get a job so I can go out and buy it now. *sigh* Bedtime... And I had *better* not have a headache when I get up or I'm throwing someone out the window.. --- --- --- [edit] I think I'm going to switch this blog-ish thing to my account at e2, because I don't have a maximum number of entries for that... It's not a blog, but I can post daylogs and just leave a link to each one or something. You know, in case anyone cares ;) [/edit]

Today's Comment	Older brothers are the fucking best. I see mine like once in a blue moon, and that's usually only for a few hours at a time. I see him this morning, talk a bit, admire his funky new sketchbook... ... then come home around midnight and discover that he went out and bought me one. AND googly eyes... little ones. Dunno why. Gonna see if I can rubber cement them to my sketchbook, see how long they stay there. I love my brother =D --- --- --- I have class at eight, but I really can't make myself go to bed! My cat coerced me into having a three-hour nap, and then I got to see James, and around seven we were at his place. Drinking it up with spanish women rocks. They were all loud and cheerful and full of fun... and I could've stayed all night =D but I got class at eight. Fsck. Oh well. In short, some people are very cool. Like James. And Marcus. And spanish women named Martha =D I had a good day. I hope everyone else has a good day... even though it's 0:30 and technically "tomorrow" now. Bah.

I've been avoiding my Photoshop homework by reading Latex Blue archives all night. Dragonfly will be pleased. =D Also, I've come to the conclusion that I use emoticons and "heh" way too much. I think I'll have to cut back a bit. I'm starting to even annoy myself, and that's no good. It's just that emoticons work so well in a text-based environment. Of course, if you're in IRC or [shudder] a Yahoo chatroom, you can use the /me or whatver command to "act out" what you're doing. **runs around in circles** Or just do that. --- --- --- *sigh* I miss my Luna-kitty. She went to the vet's at eight this morning for an operation, and won't be back till nine tomorrow morning. And I won't even get to see her until one, when I get off school. I hope she doesn't feel betrayed or rejected. Oh well. I'll be happy to have her running around the house happily wreaking havoc again... it's been so quiet today. Even Pixel, our fat grouchy tabby cat, seemed to be looking for Luna - which is funny because she pretends she hates Luna when she thinks people are watching. Ah, kitties. In other news, I think I'm going to actually re-start work on the rest of my websites very soon. I've been thinking about an "About the Author" page, and a much better Art page as well, since the current one has several problems. Fuck you, CascadingStyleSheets. Agh.

Today's Comment	http://www.alias.com/eng/etc/fakeorfoto/ Interesting site. Can you guess the real ones from the CG'd ones? I got nine out of ten on my very first try... go working with this kind of shit =D Wow I'm glad it's March and I only have another month of school.. I've suddenly been struck with the urge to create my own MUD(Multi-User Dungeon... basically a sort of text game or RPG), and there is no way I could ever do this *and* get all my schoolwork done too. MUD is strictly a summer thing, since that's the time I get like three months off. Enough to play a MUD and either be irrevocably addicted, or sick enough of it that I'm ready to go back to school. Of course, now that I'm in college and all, I actually look forward to new semesters. High school is full of shit you're forced to do, full of kids who think it's "cool" not to go, full of restrictions and powerhungry administrators and busywork. College, though, is filled with people who *want* to be there. Maybe not so much in first year, but as the years go by (so I'm told), only the dedicated and the interested remain. It's good because everyone is sure to enjoy just about every subject, and we can have fun doing what we came to do. In this I speak for myself, being in a fun course. Even math, last semester, didn't suck (go nick ferrari), and I've found a completely unexpected interest in programming Java applets. It's all fun, and I'm learning - but even better, I'm surrounded by people who are *there* to learn, not because they *have* to be there. There are very very few slackers, and they're finding that no one wants to work with them on group projects... and they wonder why. O.o Um.. got on a rant there. But yeah, it's fun. Anyone out there in high school/etc thinking "I'm too coooool for schoooool" - you're missing out. --- --- --- There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Today's Comment	Went and saw Secret Window tonight. It was pretty good - not exactly what I thought it was going to be, but hey. I did like it. Johnny Depp was good (ok, being a female fan, how can I say he *wasn't* good... *sigh*... feminine weakness, even though he's my mom's age D= Oh well.), and the storyline was kind of neat. It made me think of Insomnia, for some reason. They're both about writers who go a little nuts? Well, that's a loose sort of link. Insomnia... There's a movie I never want to see again, and yet I feel I must own. There was a certain.. frightening reality to it that left me with an eerie feeling for at least the rest of the night. If I think about it too much, some part of that eeriness comes back - until I can find something with which to distract myself. There was something of that in Secret Window. Possibly because I myself sink too far into my characters and my stories sometimes. I barely ate last summer, while I was writing about immortals (who themselves rarely ate, or even slept). It makes me worry about myself a little, though I don't know whether I could ever take things so far as both the authors in Secret Window and Insomnia did. Perhaps going into the Multimedia field wasn't such a bad idea ; )

Today's Comment	Went and saw The Passion of the Christ today, and I think I really liked it. It was pretty graphic, and there were a lot of gory parts, seeing as it's basically the story of the last day of Jesus' life (well, before he gets resurrected). For anyone interested in this sort of thing, I recommend it. Yes, it's gory and graphic and bloody and yada yada, but that makes it realistic. In those days the people were not gentle, so it's not like you can expect Jesus to get a couple slaps on the wrist before they make him carry that giant cross up the hill to be crucified. So... yeah. Go see it, if you've got any interest in the story - it helps if you know a bit about christian mythology/history (whichever, suit yourself), because there are a bunch of little things happening that you can nod at and go, "I know what this is!" Go reading Piet Worm books as a kid. --- --- --- Oh yeah... Best Satan ever.

Today's Comment	OMG I'd almost forgotten how much fun the Science Centre is.. Me & Ryan got there at like 9:30 and ogled the store until ten (frightening the cashiers, heh), and we didn't leave till like 4 - 4:30. It was great. Despite the swarms of children wandering around and screeching, we had an awesome time moving around. We got to see all the shows - they're lined up so you can do that and wander in between. Space & Sports first, then Planetarium, where we realized just how smart 8-year-olds really are. I remember knowing weird little bits of things about space when I was little. Of course, I know nothing now =D Wandered around through a bunch of exhibits, watched an OSC woman doing demonstrations with liquid nitrogen - that was pretty cool. Sat through that one Electricity presentation in which everyone gets to go up and get charged by the bigass static ball thing.

Today's Comment	All right, I stand corrected. Freddy vs Jason is now the *worst* movie I have ever seen. At least Jeepers Creepers 2 made us jump once or twice, and was kind of cool despite the crappy sequel-ness. But Freddy vs Jason is terrible in every conceivable way. The effects suck, the plotline(uh.. I think there is one, kind of) sucks, the writing sucks, and the acting SUCKS big time. Terrible, terrible movie, and if they're trying to pass that off as "horror," well, I think someone needs to be taken out back for a conversation with a shotgun. If I see another of these being made I will kill the writer/director/producer MYSELF. Ye gods. Although we did laugh pretty hard at all the separated body parts and the cheesy spraying/squirting blood. And the idiot who gets stoned and sees some bizarre worm thing coming to toke up with him. So yeah. From pulling random objects (WTF torch???) out of nowhere, to moneygrubbing scriptwriters, to some of the WORST acting I have EVER seen, it was Terrible. Rated minus infinity on my star scale. Boo. To anyone who wasted money on that movie.... I'm sorry.

Today's Comment	I love Fark. Without Fark, I would never have known exactly what the Mac community is like before it was too late. http://wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,62157,00.html?tw=wn_culthead_4 http://www.overclockers.com/tips1133/ I mean, Durham's Multimedia program is already turning me into a Mac zealot, (also because my personal PC has been.. uh... "broken" since like October/November) but I had no idea how volatile this whole Mac/PC thing is. Heh. It's pretty entertaining. **imagines Crusades between Mac & PC lovers** I love my Mac. I really do. But I like my PC too. It's always good to have multiple computers, especially if you're making stuff like websites or CD-ROMs (both of which I will be making "professionally" in a couple years). Websites particularly. I liked having my PC on one desk and my Mac on another, so I could make sure my website(s) looked okay on both screens. Of course, if I really wanted to be picky, I could pull out the 486 I got as a present a few years ago. Go 204MB hard drive =D --- So yeah... uh, Mac/PC people: chill out. PCs started out as Mac copies anyway. =P

Today's Comment	I'm sorry... I don't do forwards, so you'll have to suffer here =D I couldn't not share this one: A man escapes from a prison where he had been kept for 15 years. As he runs away, he finds a house and breaks into it looking for money and  guns but only finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him up in a chair. While tying the girl up to the bed he gets on top of  her, kisses her on the neck, then gets up, and goes to the bathroom.   While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped prisoner, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in  jail, and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck.  If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, just do what he tells you, just give him satisfaction, no matter how much he ravages you. This guy must be dangerous, if he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you" To which the wife responds, "He was not kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked if we kept any Vaseline in the bathroom. Be strong, honey. I love you, too."

Today's Comment	OMG Dreambook timestamps suck. From now on I just type the damn date/time in myself. hate hate hate and I can't fix it. OK, sorry about PriestessShina being not updated and stuff - it will be eventually. See, I've been so busy with Xmas shopping, Pimpette updates, getting votes in e2, and other distracting stuff. When all's said and done, though, PriestessShina will become a part of Pimpette, just on two hosts, so I don't take up a lot of space on the Keenspace server. I have twice as much room on 50megs anyway, so I might as well use it. If I could use FTP for 50megs though, that would so rule. Except while on my beloved Mac, because FTP Thingy sucks balls. I wish WS_FTP made a client for Mac that I could get... er... buy, of course. Go educational versions. I love my database teacher for showing us that. Even though he had no idea how to control a class. Or teach. but that's okay. I can learn... eventually.... dammit.. Anyway... PriestessShina will be completely redone by April. I know it sounds long, but I'll have my xhtml class to help me out with stuff. I know enough coding to do a decent job on my own, but who knows what I'll learn in class. Oh yeah, and javascript too. I'll be learning Javascript - damn I hope I don't fail that course - aaaand photography and photoshop. and another english and a design class. Go funfunfun. Much better than last semester. Okay, so I'll leave you with that. If you're impatient, well, goto Pimpette every Monday and check out the comics, and I'll post more as stuff changes. Enjoy life.

Today's Comment	omg, I need to rant. where's e2 when I need it... down, of course. **************************************************** This rant inspired by a series of forum posts at Fark.  http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=737852 See if it works... it might not **************************************************** As an almost-19-year-old, I can say that toys from my childhood were pretty damn cool, especially compared to some of the shit they're passing off as fun now. If I ever have kids, I'm preserving my childhood and giving it to them - with or without the approval of those fat overprotective mothers who blame toy companies, video games, tv and movies for their kids' flaws. Much as I dislike walmart, I have to hate more the mothers who sued walmart for selling their kids Vice City. I mean.. who bought the ps2 for their kids in the first place? Violent games don't do any harm if you teach your kids that KILLING PEOPLE IS BAD. Also, many people complain that the schools are too hard on their kids, that the schools are evil and mean and all that other bullshit - that the schools should slow down. OK, for one, sit down with your kid when he's still young and READ to him once in a while. Second, do not, I repeat, do not sit your kid down in front of the TV and leave him there all day. Sure, it keeps him quiet, but kids aren't meant to be quiet. It's in a kid's nature to run, to fall, to hurt himself, to break things, to generally be mischievous and have a lot of fun being that way. Yeah, being a parent is tough. Deal with it. Don't just pawn your kids off on other people because they're not convenient for you. This is why people are supposed to think before having kids. *sigh* I hate stupid mothers. IT'S NOT SOCIETY'S FAULT YOUR KID'S AN ASSHOLE. SOCIETY ISN'T SUPPOSED TO RAISE YOUR KID, YOU JACK. **************************************************** Okay, I need to go to bed before I rant too much or kill my brother. The following file was saved in Word X, which means I gave it funky colours and tabs and stuff so it can be read more easily. I'd stick it into Dreamweaver but by the time I'd remembered that (now), I was (am) too tired to do so.

Today's Comment	Sorry I haven't been posting -- though I doubt there are enough "frequent" visitors to actually care. =D College has been taking up most of my time, which is what I was hoping for by the middle of August. I can't have too much spare time on my hands; it makes me lazy and these next three years I'm going to have to make up for all the times I've just sat on my ass and breezed through classes. It's so nice to find a fun challenge though. I'm remaking a couple of websites right now, so who knows what'll happen here once I learn some better code. Basic HTML is good enough for your typical personal homesite, but not for a Multimedia student. Once I take Java... Fear. Heh. That's okay, though. I'll have lots of new pictures to post, lots of new things to try out, and hopefully more traffic coming through Pimpette once I get her properly advertised. Which means this place needs to be cleaned out. No more junk. I mean it this time. The Stuff page goes. The Links page gets cleaned out. Oh yeah... and I was in a PLANE last weekend!!! It was awesome! You scoff. But I'm eighteen and I've never been in a plane before. Ever. So it was really cool. I have over 80 pictures, most of which will be too blurry or not exciting enough to be posted. But eventually I'll get around to it; I've got more on my plate right now than I did over the summer. More things to redesign - James wants to completely redo the ENTIRE clanPRA site - which is going to take forever, and I told him to wait until next semester when I start seriously learning HTML/PHP/Java. I think maybe I could use it as a project or something. Except I have to work with Ryan (he's paying for the site.. I hope he still is), and James (after all, he's our LEADER. =P ) So, yeah. Lots of stuff. Maybe this site will stop looking like such a newbie site. Damn teenyboppers.

Today's Comment	Haven't been a whole lot of updates; been working on my Pimpette site more than anything. Not to mention college has started and there's work to be done at night again. It's good to have things to do (and I love my Mac), but I dislike busywork. I also dislike having to take a basic english course. And I mean basic. Adverbs and adjectives and nouns... I did this when I was nine and loved it, okay? MAD GABS rule. But, as a course, it sucks ass. Sooooo much busywork. And one-hour quizzes that take me less than fifteen minutes. Damn you illiterates! Anyways, go check out my Pimpette site, complain to me if you actually come here and you want something new once in a while. I think after a while I might completely redesign this entire site. After all, I do learn some new html or whatever next semester. Have to take Java too **shivers fearfully** so there might be interesting things to do here. I could buy a real address and not have to worry about restricted space and limited uploads (as well as restricted content), but I'm cheap and I'm poor and I'm going through college so I can't afford it. Besides, I don't have the patience to update a site every day. I'm having enough trouble keeping ahead of myself with Pimpette. Right now I'm a month ahead in twice-weekly comics, but that could change. I'd do it more often - there's so much storyline, and it has to be dragged out for so long - but there's no way I can keep up decent-quality work and still meet even a thrice-weekly webcomic. It's just not happening. Maybe a couple years in the future, when I don't have school. Yikes, but I'll have work. **sigh** Oh well. We'll take things as they come, then.

After all, it's free, and I have nothing to lose, really. Besides, if it doesn't work out, I'll switch it over to another site and that'll work out better. So there. NYAH. I'm going to go occupy my mind elsewhere now.

Today's Comment	DAMN! There'll be no more killing and looting of Zen masters for me, oh no. Computer in my room finally up and online, except it's not networked so working is hard... and there're no USB ports for my damn Tablet..... BLARGH!!! The monster within me awakens to gobble more useless villagers. Beware the vicious mole people! It appears that once more I shall be dealing with FTP... if you have any interst in CounterStrike or Day Of Defeat (or even if you don't), defy the deadly Motaba virus and go to http://clanpra.com and check out my TOTALLY AMAZING webmaster skills (I just do the CS Division's site... we only recently gained a DOD league thing and I don't know anything about that) I = Friedrich Engels = rock Nothing can kill the Grimace Hooray for computers Hooray for late nights Hooray for sugar Hooray for low sights; I don't care what I do. Who wants to sleep Who wants to dream My life is here In the depths of this screen; It is here that my bonds grew. Working tirelessly On things of my own Slowly but surely My cyberworld has grown; Now it's kind of a zoo. But now I can't leave it Now I'm hooked for life Let's hope it will give me Success and not strife; Yes, let's hope that stays true. - The Priestess Shina aka Friedrich Engels aka whatever the hell else. PS: Yes, I have been watching too much Clerks.

Today's Comment	Okay, this is going to be a long one, so bear with me. Speech You don't HAVE to read this first, but it does have pictures. It's the End. Three years I have for college now, but it still feels like an end. I know everyone says it, but you really come to realize it when it happens to you. There's so much to say, and so few words to say it with. James S Through the good and the bad you've been there, and I'll never forget you for it. No matter what, we have to keep in touch, because without you who knows where I'd be now. I'm so happy for you and Amber, and I hope you two can find a happiness together to last a lifetime. I didn't understand you when I needed to, but you were always there, and even though we don't talk like we used to, I love you as the other half I never knew I was missing. I hope we can still find time to hang out in the future. Courtney You were a match for my own craziness back in the day, and though we rubbed off on each other, thankfully our personalities never seriously clashed. I'm glad you've finally found a solid place to stand in the ups and downs of your former life, and I'll stick around as long as you want me to. Shoutouts to Sheldon; you keep a good grip on her. You're the first we've approved of, and we're glad you're there. And Court, don't you dare pick a fight with him. : ) Don't worry dahlink, we'll make our movies some day. Michele What can I say? In 13 years we've gone a long way, from you chasing my car home (no I will never let you forget that), walking to school together all these years, to you retiring skating and moving away in a year or two. I don't know what I'm going to do without you; you've always been a constant in my life, and it'll be weird knowing that you're not going to come knocking on my door and waiting for me to tie my shoes so we can go to school. I know you'll still be around the first year after this, but even after you better make sure I have a number to reach you at or something. We've gone too long to let this go now. Kirk 12 years. Sometimes it doesn't feel so long since we were running around in the field at recess, or performing weddings for the entire first grade (MR & Mrs I-Meant-To-Do-That... and no, I'm not letting either of us live that down. We were little - it was cute). The sand/corn-cob/burr wars, the times in class when we stole things from each others' desks when MrO wasn't looking. Being glad when you came around the locker bay and knowing that you would still be around. I'm so glad you'll be around Durham too, even if you won't actually be IN the college itself. Even if you do still have to live at home; you're always welcome to swing by and hang out - you know where I live. Shawna Although when we first met there was a lot of trouble, we've both come a long way since then. It's great to have someone like you, who isn't afraid to shed the burdensome mantle of "Adult" and run around outside for no apparent reason. INSANIOS wouldn't have been the same without you (or Courtney), and hooray for laughing until we can't breathe. I'll miss you next year -- you better make sure to call; you know where I am. Jon Though it's only been a couple years since we started really talking, it's felt good to have an intellectual mind to consult now and again, someone else who writes and understands what it feels like to get one's thoughts out on paper (or computer, as the case may be). Ranting with you about Writer's Craft was fun, and lunchtime conversations were hysterical/interesting/educational/horrifying (take your pick). I wish you best of luck next year, and make sure you come down for Halloween. You don't have to wear the devil horns (although you'll probably want to carry the shotgun, real or not), but you have to come. And no I won't join Neoseeker. I have too many other things to do. =) Wesley It was a good four years, wasn't it? Although we haven't really held a conversation face-to-face, you were there in my darkest moments online, and you were a good support through the tough times. Congratulations on the changes you've made with yourself; you look great and I hope you feel just as good. The world is out there now, all you have to do is take it into your hands. Good luck and keep in touch - don't you go and change your MSN on me.       * I won't be completely gone next year, but it's sure going to feel like it. I don't know what I would have done without some of you, and although I have made some stupid decisions in the past, I don't regret them anymore and I've learned from those mistakes. It's been a long haul, but we're all still alive. The future is bright. Go in peace.

Today's Comment	The scanner of the house is finally functional. And I've been invited to go to a lan and drink BAWLS and play counterstrike until I fall over dead and have to be dragged out by the team. If I didn't suck so much at CS I'd say FUNFUNFUN. Oh well. I'll have fun screwing people over and laughing at them. If I can't win, I'll be annoying. It's all I can do, really. =D

Today's Comment	I just don't know anymore. Days of boredom have led me to start new paintings and fix up the old ones. My computer no longer brings me joy; only an empty zombie-like feeling as I stare into the flickering screen. Mindless drone. I will not.

Today's Comment	Wow, working with 50megs.com from school is giving me a headache. The school's browsers are lazy; they don't bother to updatea page, just bring up the page as it was the first time you viewed it. Editing websites is hell. Damn school.

Today's Comment	So much to do, so little time. Between ISUs, math homework, two websites, a Photoshop addiction, a Tripeaks addiction, an online comics addiction (SomethingPositive, Queen of Wands, Devil's Panties), a kitten, school, and whatever the hell else, I haven't gotten much done on anything. This stinks. Oh well. If we hadn't networked these computers I don't know WHAT I'd do. If you're anxiously awaiting updates, don't hold your breath, eh?

Today's Comment	Okay. I really really really have to stop decorating this site for a little while. It's starting to look cluttered, and although I sort of like that, it's getting to be a mess and I might be forced to rearrange it again. I have too many other things to do! Goddamn having to learn PHP. I'm putting it off until after my ISUs are done. hey court

Today's Comment	Two things to say: One: Learning is good, but learning PHP at school with no access to SQL stinks. Two: http://www.a-i.com Go talk to Alan; it's a lot of fun. I'm trying to teach his brother HAL (har har) about everything. HAL isn't as intelligent as Alan but he's working on it.

Today's Comment	Finally. Tripod told me I couldn't have a Weblog for free. Well, spite on you. Since the main page was getting really crowded, I decided I really needed to make a page just for these stupid little updates. Okay, originally that's what the main page was for, but oh well. I don't have to conform to my own rules. Oh yeah, and in case you showed up here from another site of which I am ashamed (and yet have forgotten the password so I can't delete it), I'm sorry. Never go there again.

Today's Comment	Okay, in light of a comment I received from some self-professed intellectual (about which I have doubts), I would like to announce that my anti-war rant is an editorial I wrote for my writer's craft class OVER A MONTH AGO. I accept the fact that a lot of people believe that the war is good. Well, fine. You think what you like, I'll keep thinking what I like, whether is pleases you or not. But don't push your beliefs on me -- at least, if you're going to try, be like a bible salesman or something and don't swear at me, because then I just want to make fun of you and you're not getting anywhere. You know who you are.
