4,120,089 | female | 36 | Internet | Capricorn | 09,August,2004 | I have hurt a dear friend of mine very badly. How do I ever make up to them? How can I get them to feel better about a decision that affects them so deeply? Do I say you can hate my guys? Be angry? Hurl stuff at me? Beat me up? I don't know what else to say to make them feel better. I know that this friend will eventually learn to let go of those hurt and angry feelings, but it is going to take some time. In the meantime how do I let them know I love them very much and only wish them the utmost happiness in their life? I keep telling her this over and over and over but she doesn't hear me. It saddens me that she can't 'hear' me and will only dwell on the negative feelings in her heart. Please hear me if you're reading this and know I love you and only want the best for you. |
4,120,089 | female | 36 | Internet | Capricorn | 08,August,2004 | Many members have asked over the years what the official story of Pregnancy.org might be; how we started, where we came from and what we’re really all about. A couple of months ago, I posted the story on our bulletin boards. But in honor of our third anniversary, I’ve gone ahead and turned this into an article so that all members can read this at their own convenience. Way back in 1995, I got pregnant with my son Ezra (who is almost 8!). Back then as you can recall, the web was in its infancy. Netscape existed as a beta version and yahoo was for posting your homepage. I was getting sick and tired of going through book after book, trying to get information about my pregnancy. Most of the books were dry and boring, using scare tactics and didn’t have any feel of peer mentoring at all. One Sunday morning, Minnesota, at the Golden Dome restaurant in St. Paul, our friends and I were discussing this very dilemma. Michael and Ted came up with the idea to create a urlLink pregnancy calendar that had a bit of information each day. Thus, the Olen Interactive Pregnancy Calendar was born. This calendar that we created doesn’t exist at Olen.com anymore, but it does as a part of iVillage. By the time Ezra was born, the site was doing well (for back then) and we even made it on CNN as a cool web site of the day. They did that in 1996 -- because well, the web was still pretty cool and new. We actually have our 15 minutes of fame on video. We ended up being written up in magazines like Yahoo! Internet Life, the Wall Street Journal, various newspapers and parenting rags. So now we return to 1996. In the parenting and pregnancy space there were a couple of competitors—these being iVillage and ParentsPlace. Our friend Sabrina had her site as well as Robin Weiss, the creator of Childbirth.org (she now heads up the pregnancy section at About.com). Parentsplace wanted to mirror our pregnancy calendar and so we let them. In 1997 iVillage was on an acquiring binge and ate up Parentsplace. iVillage realized after that purchase that the calendar wasn't theirs and asked to purchase our site to get full rights to it. So, begrudgingly, in October of 1997, iVillage purchased the calendar and it is still one of iVillage's top draws. Well, with that purchase, we moved to California in December of 1997. I stayed home with Ez and Michael went to go work for a startup. This was just the beginning of the internet boom. We landed first in San Jose, and then Sausalito, and later Mill Valley in the Bay area. When Ez was 19 months, BabyCenter called Michael. They wanted him for his tech expertise. While I was there with Ez hanging out (this is 1998 already) the then editor-in-chief Clare Ellis asked me if I wanted to head up and start their community part time. Well, I said yes. Thus, BabyCenter's community was born. I was employee number 20 or there about. This was when BabyCenter only had 4 million page views a month (btw – we’re at 5 million). I eventually became full-time and worked there for 3.5 years. That is where I met some of you and my best friend Julie Snyder. Julie has been with me for over 7 years and if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have most of the things you see on the site on a daily basis. Michael did not end up working for BabyCenter, instead did the corporate thing and eventually got hired at a fortune 500 in Southern California (thus our move down to Southern California). Fast forward to July 2001, we are in southern California—I left BabyCenter after weathering 2 layoffs and acquisitions. I was telecommuting and that was hard on me. After seeing all my friends let go and no one left that was innovative I did not want to be part of a corporate arm (Johnson and Johnson owns them now). I split that July (it was very political—BabyCenter still pretends we don't exist) and on September 10, 2001, launched Pregnancy.org. I never wanted our site to be a 'me-too' site—with Michael, and some others who helped build and support us, we launched and here we are, almost 3 years later, growing very quickly and actually in the black and making money. This is our third company and I think third time is the charm. So here I sit in beautiful Boca Raton, Florida. We moved our family and company to the East Coast in June. Pregnancy.org is thriving and we have all kinds of exciting plans for the site, including two expansion sites that will help round out the experience. And that's the end of the story! For anyone that wants more information, you are always welcome to urlLink email me directly . To all of you who make this site what it is, thank you, for all of you who help us on a daily basis double kudos to you. As the proverbial saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’ Apply that to us, we are what we make of it. |
4,120,089 | female | 36 | Internet | Capricorn | 08,August,2004 | We went and saw the Manchurian Candidate remake today. I thought it was an excellent redoing of a very poignant topic -- the influencing of politics for personal gain. We've seen nothing but this for the last 3.5 years under King George. Why do I say King George? Because he's acting like it. Not only was this moran appointed to the Presidency by the Supreme Court but he's ruined this country. So, back to the Manchurian Candidate. Fascinating idea that some corporation would control the world including politicians. Well we're really not all that far off with Dick Cheney and his 7.5 million dollar SEC Fine. For god's sake, what is wrong with this country when we put away petty dope dealers and yet the Vice President gets away with anything? It saddens me immensely because no one seems to give a rat's ass. Not that a rat has much of an ass to give in the first place. Can this country survive another four years of Bush? No, I don't think the world can sustain that. So in the Manchurian Candidate, without spoiling it for the rest of you, some big corporation covertly controls heads of state by using hypnosis and implants (no not the boobie kind either). Far fetched? Not really. Think about it. Obviously in the remake Manchurian is Halliburton. The whole thing with Bush and Cheney disgusts me. I don't see how folks can't see through it and what the situation really is. We have a man, who'd rather party, who is a moron, running this country and its reputation into the ground. And no one is doing a damn thing about it. Not the media, not our justice system, no one. Hopefully if Kerry gets in the first thing he'll do is appoint a special counsel and let these fuckers burn. Burn motherfuckers burn. |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 31,July,2004 | memememememememeee! it was an overall kick-ass night, but the cherry on top was that i could feel ngak and i are actually more comfortable with each other now. perhaps its a good thing that he's not wanting any commitments at the moment, so that we have a timespan to be friends. god knows ive had enough of fast-forwarded relationships which failed because they lacked the basis of friendship. highlight of the night was when he was having a break from singing - val, ngak and i were outside in the corridor taking silly pictures of each other. oh yes, more nice couply pics will be up for viewing very soon, sweeties! oh yes, more hugging was required to snap said pics. ;) we must have been out there for a bloody long time because by the time we came back in, joyce and berber had vanished. :P *** berber darling, i just wanna say that YOUR VOICE ROCKS! *** we hungout till almost 5am. yes yes.. i know im doing the 'wait as long as i can' thing again. but i cant help it. and it just doesn't feel right if i go home early fridays anyway. but ok, i gotta have some restraint, so i'm just gonna let myself do this on fridays and saturdays. NO MORE LATE WED'S! or other weekdays for that matter! i made it in to work 1130am. not so bad huh? will be meeting val and ngak later today too... :) *** special BIG HUGS to boo *** cheer up! kitty SOON will be ok... with u caring for him, he'll be well in no time! |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 29,July,2004 | dear berber... u just have to be strong. be your own superwoman. know that u are a special person and noone can destroy you other than yourself. it's ok to indulge and take a few risks sometimes.... but ultimately, u know u can survive ANYTHING. u can't change anything that has happened, but u can live for the future! astrogirl... we were at 116 last night. no, i didn't stay late to wait for ngak. probably the first time for awhile... hee. but i seriously need to start sleeping earlier. could barely stand yesterday from sheer fatique. and somehow managed to stay undefeated on the pool table for god knows how long... probably bcos i was too tired to care and played without much will to win or nerves. also the CBF attitude probably made a coupla guys nervous too. ha! still trying to figure what's wrong with my blog pages not loading... so meanwhile i'll be flooding the main page with new posts instead of adding onto comments! :| |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 28,July,2004 | astro sweetie, that must have been an extremely interesting experience for u. aren't u glad u found out more, and that he was actually willing to spill the beans on his dating status? at least he was honest about it... i've met men who have purposefully concealed their status just to source for unwittingly willing participants in their game of bastardry. oh believe me, there are so many of these scumbags around. although his behaviour to your mutual friend which is causing her distress is another matter altogether... but alas, i am by nature a schizophrenic, even at times multiple schizoid. i believe there is no absolute in everything and anything, yet certain things are very concrete to me. all men are bastards.. but some of them are less so than the others. u gotta admit there is a bitch in everyone of us, right? ;) of course, it is much better to be a bitch than a bastard. anyway. my friends have always marvelled at my ability to bounce back from everything that has ever happened to me. being jaded doesn't mean i stop trusting people. i kinda just wipe my databank out and start afresh. flick a switch in my head. when i get over something, or someone, that whole episode is not only closed, but almost certainly deleted from my mind. coldhearted? perhaps. but it is my defense mechanism and it keeps me sane. sometimes i feel sad about something which has happened many months ago. which means i did not completely throw it out of my head, left remnants to rot and grow, and let it resurface again. it's a good thing this seldom happens. no regrets - i live by it. *** this weird post was inspired by the mention of bastards *** |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 28,July,2004 | Even the best of men.... ARE BASTARDS! A small confession on my part. I met a stranger whom i thought was an interesting personality. okay, i was fighting with a certain significant other and needed a distraction. He was sparkly, well travelled, witty, charming, adventurous, mysterious, silly, intense, bohemian.....the list goes on. I was told he was sooooo nice and amazing. I didn't think he was hot cos he's not your typical gorgeous Adonis, but his personality more than made up for it. I was wondering why this rare find only had one girlfriend all his life! i thought - either he has the small dick complex or highly dangerous.The first meeting intrigued me and i set up a second to see if there were other sides to this seemingly fascinating creature... But alas, more talk revealed he was seeing a mutual friend. And this friend could have possibly confided in me about him before! Believe me, she was very troubled. Maybe she could've been seeing someone else, but my gut feeling tells me otherwise because of what SHE revealed to me about this certain someone. After more beer flowed, i found out he was seeing somebody else AND her a few months ago. You really can't tell maaaan. They should put an X on dangerous boys' foreheads... Boo, you're right about being the buddy. When guys really tell you what's going on, it really makes you wonder...are all men bastards? These guys are cool and great to hang out with. They're sweet and lovely people but how they deal with women can be so f***ed up! What a turn off. But he's cool as a buddy. And i doubt he's short on a certain body part. The dating game can be so perilous....:S |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 28,July,2004 | extracted from urlLink www.tarot.com We celebrate two Full Moons this July, and when that happens in any calendar month — which is pretty rare — the second one is called the 'Blue Moon.' Even though the Moon does not really change colors, the image of a Blue Moon has inspired poets, songwriters... and lovers! Astrologically, the Blue Moon this July 31st occurs in the idealistic sign of Aquarius, opposite the Sun on its annual summer journey through passionate Leo. At the same time, Neptune, the planet of dreams, is cozying up to that Aquarian Blue Moon, adding imagination, illusion and inspiration to the timing of this rare event. So dream big... but don't let Neptune sweep you completely off your feet! plan something romantic with your love ones for this friday! the moon shall be on our sides... |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 28,July,2004 | aiiiiight. first things first... i didn't get up THAT late ok? it was only 1030am when i woke up. haha... quickly rang office and said i had an appointment which i forgot to write in my work diary. then went to meet my gf nicole to get my freelance work pay. ended up in the office eventually at 230pm. :P dear boo has managed to suss things out with ngak in her very drunk state last night. hope he didn't get things the wrong way, or thinks im trying to tie him down, or thinks i put her up to it! :o but anyways, it has been clarified that he's not ready for commitment at the moment... so that kinda takes a load off my mind really. now that i know where things stand, i can stop obsessing about where the hell all this is going! i can probably start being myself around him now. hee. this is rather full on for my very tired brain to handle right now... together with a very tired body. but it's all good. THANKS BOO!!!! for taking a huge cloud outta my head! :D |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 26,July,2004 | Asking a Guy Out by Mark Sullivan Men definitely like it when women ask them out. What's not to like? But before you get busy with your phone and address book, there are a few things you should know. For starters, a part of the guy will wonder if you've called him up because you want to have sex with him. Guys are generally hoping to have sex whenever they go on a date, so this probably won't mean he'll behave any different, but you might want to set some limits early on. (Unless that is why you called him.) Also, be prepared for lots of dating gray areas: Who'll drive? Who'll pay? Who'll decide where to go? The impetus is generally on the guy to control the flow of events on a date, but since you initiated things, how far will the initiative extend? Ideally, this will be part of the fun, but it can lead to baffled expectations on both sides. Another thing to consider is something guys have been dealing with since time began: The answer might be no. |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 26,July,2004 | over here! goddamnit i am unable to post any comments on this blog due to the page not loading... so i have to make new posts all the time!! glad to see a warm reception for little bruno! he's naughtier than nemo though... probably younger too. very very frisky, gets scared at EVERYTHING, and runs himself into his glass walls! sigh... hope he settles in. it's been almost a week. if this goes on, he will fall sick under the stress and dieeeeee... :| my weekend was gooooooood. ;) friday night after leaving ballymoon, i went to 116 where i was warmly received by ngak's friend val... we proceeded to drink ourselves silly till wee hours of the morning. nick was the instigator behind more drinking games of rolling dice, which resulted in ngak sleeping on 2 chairs and me being sent home by lina at the end of it all at 6am. i didnt speak to ngak much all night but he did manage to tell me that he had a dinner appointment with his church group, and that his church group outings are given first priority in his life. fair enough... but why the hell could he not have just called or sms'ed right? whatever. anyways, so he crashed out and we didnt even say bye on friday. saturday morning i felt sick as a dog... barely made it home with help from lina, and definitely could not make it to work. woke up in the arvo, decided to login and check my mails... and there he was on msn, saying sorry he made me drink so much etc. (though it wasnt just him making me drink... not sure why hes so sorry...) we chatted for awhile and then val sms'ed me to go to wala wala's at night. ngak said he'd drop by too, after his gig at a restaurant nearby. and so that was what we did. lester came by too... we all went for supper after that, at newton. i'm sure this is droning on really boringly for youse, so i'm just gonna skip the details and say, no we still haven't gone beyond the hug-goodnight stage. :) though plans were made for to meet on sunday after his church session, at chaani's place for a house party. i got up rather late... came in to my office to get some work done. about an hour later, he called. :) u know, this must be the first time he actually called when he said he would. we managed to meet up alone for once, but unfortunately didnt hangout very long before our presence was requested at chaani's. more drinks, dvds, pizzas and kfc's took place. usual bantering etc. i guess the highlight of the night was at the end of it all, just before chaani shooed us out of his place, ngak was very insistent on taking a good photo with me. we tried to snap it ourselves, using a mirror, or holding the camera backwards etc. which all failed miserably. then his friend edmund saw us and offered to snap it. but then even though it looked ok from the camera viewer, val (it was her camera) said later that it was a terribly blur photo. of course, the best part was that throughout all this we were hugging each other. :P earlier in the day, i (conveniently) asked to leave my work notes in his bag. and of course, i forgot to take them back when we parted on sunday night. oh but, really, i really genuinely forgot ok? :D so he had to meet me for lunch on monday to pass them back to me... :D it was quite a normal lunch... see, the thing is when we meet we are always civil. he doesnt outright flirt with me. perhaps its still early yet and hes still trying to know me. me? yes i wanna know him too but i really wanna grab him and find out how well he kisses! going slow is good though... have to keep that in mind. :P |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 26,July,2004 | Extracted this from urlLink www.romanceclass.com What is a Crush? Crushes are sort of easy entry-ways into the world of strong emotions and relationships, without having much of the scary risk involved in really dating someone. People have crushes on their teachers, on actors, on band members, on scout leaders or pastors... A crush involves admiring someone from a safe distance. You feel a hugely powerful emotion, stronger than anything you've felt before. You obsess over this person. You would die for them. You think about them constantly. You are thrilled when you are near them and miserable when you are away from them. You desperately want to tell the person how you feel - but are frightened of it at the same time. If you're involved in a crush - enjoy it! We have ALL had crushes over the years and they're something you look back on with great fondness. Look at what makes your crush special. Those qualities that you admire in your crush are qualities that are very special to you, and it's very important to learn what those are. It helps you when you look for a real boyfriend or girlfriend to date, to know what you are drawn to. Also, learn how to handle your feelings. Most of what a crush is about is learning that you get POWERFUL emotions in relationships - and that you need to deal with them. Just like you learned in earlier years how to deal with strong anger and strong sadness, you're now learning how to deal with strong feelings of attraction. You're learning that it's a nice feeling - but that it's a painful feeling if you let it take over your life. You need to be able to balance those feelings with the rest of what is going on in your world. As hard as it might seem right now, your feelings for your crush will even out over time. It usually takes a few weeks to a few months, but you will learn to bring them under control. And as you learn more about life, you will find someone that is your own age, and actually someone you can *date* to start to become interested in. When that's the case, you can work to be their friend, and then their best friend. And it's at that point that your interests change from a crush to a real, meaningful relationship. Oh no, will I survive even a few days??? |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | urlLink If you work in a office building, you'll share a communal toilet with different companies on the same level. I'm not too sure about you but I do have a favourite cubicle I'll always use. It's closest to the window so that my ciggarette smoke could be aired. Recently, in my visits to the toilet, there's this wasp flying in and out the window and into my cubicle, scaring the shits out of me while I'm doing what I need to do. This is a female wasp. Meaning, it comes with a stinger! Many times I had to blow my ciggarette smoke at it to scare it away. And this wasp was persistent. It's always there when I'm there. I found out early last week the reason why she was there. She had formed a tiny combed nest inside the toilet paper dispenser. Today, I've found out that it has grown bigger! Oh how many times have I reached in to pull paper from that dispenser! Not wanting to scare any of you.. but here's a picture of how it looks like. urlLink |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | I'm counting down to 6 too!!! I've got an interesting weekend lined up... With blurberber's recommendations, i'm picking up some melantonin from the drug store and will cross my fingers for a good night's sleep tonight. For tommorow, i'll be visiting a relative of mine - somehow she's related to my Grandmother and she owns a pottery shop. I'll be getting my hands dirty and will try to learn the art from her. That will probably take up my entire day.... hmmm.. drinks tommor evening anyone? Sunday...*drifting away* Could be interesting day. An ex-neighbour of mine had invited me out for a boat trip with his friends. He mentioned that the group will consist of people whom I've met at the pub beside my place. I'm crossing my fingers for a particular guy to turn up. *butterflies* Well, in any case, even without his presence, I'm sure i'll have a blast. I'll just cross my fingers for some other hot bods!!! hehehe... I'm definitely looking forward for some salty sea breeze on my face....ahhhh astro : you just have to start going out on little adventures! Take up projects to participate together. I'm sure there are many things that can be done, cheaply! picnic at botanic gardens, take a bukit timah reserves hiking trip, take a little junk boat out, visit some of our offshore islands...just to name a few. See, the thing is, you can still have you dinner and sex but just at a different place!! |

Is it a bad sign if the things we share suddenly look very little? me vs him swimming vs jogging rice/noodles vs low carb diet star wars vs star trek vodka vs whiskey frisky vs laying like a clam (metaphorical my dears! don't go running off with your w-i-l-d imagination...) subject to change vs stubborn leapard spots my ex-colleague told me this over some oyster omelette yesterday: 'You gotta try and have something in common besides sex and dinner right?' This was in reference to my brother-in-law's botched attempt to take my sister diving on their 3rd wedding anniversary. My theory is that she fell sick on purpose. The trip got sabotaged and they went to Gold Coast yet again to sit on rollercoasters with fellow Singaporeans. So what's more outside of the odd sleepovers?

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 21,July,2004 | I know i'm being anal about it... but it did bug me that the time of our blogs weren't accurate. i had to read through almost the entire 'Help' section to correct this. Ahhhhh.... i'm scratched and satisfied. purrrrrrr..... |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 21,July,2004 | i have been prodded (very hard) by my darling co-blogmistress boo to word in further detail about my recent juicy encounter... sigh. ok, well. ummm. not sure where to start but anyways, the current situation now - him and i are now still friends. getting closer, but not quite THERE yet. when we're hanging out together, it feels reaaaally good. he'd be really attentive, he shows concern like a bf would. one night when we hungout in a group all night, he never left my side. and we were leaning on each other all night despite a bunch of friends being all around us. but then everyone was quite drunk... so. when we get asked to go somewhere, he'd turn to me and ask, 'are u going? if u're not going, then i'm not'. and he stuck with me till 11am the next day because i had to come to work. i do like him alot. despite him being 3 years younger than me and is a musician who sings for his supper. ok, so things are great when we meet up. but when we dont, he doesnt seem to initiate meeting up very much. well, ok he's done it once (last thurs) but i wasn't free. but i did suggest next thurs (this thurs ie). and besides that, he's been pretty low-key. i'm pretty sure he's on my mind more than i'm on his. :P not good huh? i can go rambling on about this... but not much really juicy bits to let on so far.... we're only at the hug-goodnight stage ok? i do like hugging him very much. does that count? :) |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 20,July,2004 | I was harassed by a weird-ass shit-face monkey... Sitting in KLCC, having my sashimi lunch and sipping my green tea away, I was waiting for Craig to swing by KL to pick me up to Singapore. Oblivious to people around me, I was totally relaxed and deep in thoughts till this shit-face, dirty looking young dude approached me and asked if he could sit in the next table. It was strange. There were a gazillion of tables at that cafe and this dude has to pick the one beside me!!!! 'May I take this table?' he asked. I shrugged and nodded. What else could I say? He sat down, shuffles around a bit, turned to me again and asked, 'May I have your number? Oei! Your number! Can I have your number!' 'Oei! Oee! Number number!' At first I thought I was hearing things cos he was kind of soft. Shaking my head, I motioned him to go away. He left. But not for long. He came back... This time, he didn't asked if he could join me or to take that table, he just sat down beside me and looked at me from head to toe. and he whispers 'Hey, your number. give me your number lah... oei' I asked the waiter for help. But this dude in turn asked the waiter to bring him a coke. As a paying customer, the waiter couldn't ask him to leave. I got to give it to him. He's got some brains. Anyway, he took his time to drink his coke while whispering to me. I could have left that cafe but I just didn't think I should be the one leaving, I liked that spot so, I just completely ignored him. I drew a sketch of him on my notebook. Occasionally he looked over my shoulders. When I was done, I smiled, flashed the sketch to him and I told him that I'll bring it to the police. He ran off. I don't know if it's my sketch that was that horrendous or he panicked cos I'd mentioned the police. Oh well.... *Shrugs* |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 17,August,2004 | hey chickadees! miss u all! damn.. i've been absent from the blog for awhile aye? i'm still drowning in work but slightly more able to breathe now. thought i oughta check in briefly and give u babes a quick update! ok, first things first. i'm over ngak. finished. done. over it. he mentioned something about not commiting for 4-5 years. that basically did it for me... and i've realised that ngak and i do not seem to carry on good convo's at all. and actually, ngak does not seem to carry on good convos with anyone in particular. hmm. well. he's still a cute boy. but i'm over it. i think i'm on the brink of seeing someone. his name is terence and he works for apple, as channels manager. i didn't talk to him much despite knowing him for a coupla weeks, till we had a whole group outing on saturday night. and we got on so well, it was amazing. i must say that he's not the usual 'look' i go for, but i'm rather sick of suave cute boys who think they're all that. terence has his own brand of charm... its the whole demeanor and confidence thing. hes the same age as me... actually, 9 days older. same year and star sign. haha. dragon scorpio. and he's so sooo sweet to me. he picked me up and sent me to work this morning! :o i'm impressed. and now hes just sms'ed to say he's dropping off a coffee for me at work. :o will see when i can get photos in... hee. welcome J! ok... have to get going! will pop back in later if i have the time. trying to finish up my part time work, and wrap up my last bits of my earlier deadline. got another big deadline this saturday. urgh.

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 16,August,2004 | Take a moment from work and try this out... Picture yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air. Nothing can bother you here. No one knows this secret place. You are in total seclusion from that place called 'the world.' The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of Serenity. The water is clear. You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water. Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place. What a pleasant surprise! You let them up, just for a quick breath. Then...ploop! Back under they go... You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want. There now... feeling better? |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 16,August,2004 | It's hard to really sum up a place like Calcutta. Nobody seems to go there for a holiday. In five days, i only saw a handful of overseas volunteers, seven british airways stewardesses and the odd wandering backpacker. What you see is alot of poverty and filth. Assaulting your senses constantly are the stench, the blaring horns and most of all, the dreary landscape. the monsoon made it even more depressing - sloshy, muddy and muggy. The humid air made it hard to breathe. At every corner, there were the homeless lying on cardboard sheets and kids begging with eyes wide open with hunger. I went to calcutta with three journalists, one photographer and two organisers. In our bubble of aircon, we were driven to the slums everyday to visit former prostitutes and children of sex workers. It's hard to imagine who could live in the dirty wet hovels i saw. For the first two days, I threw myself headlong into getting The Story. My editors reminded me again and again i had to get it no matter what. And so i did. Initially, I felt numb to everything there. Basically, I recorded whatever i listened or saw, like a documentary maker. But after doing my job, it all sank in. Dangerous and unforgiving, this place has hardly any love for those who struggle. I talked to a couple of former prostitutes and their stories were truly tragic. They all say they have no family but it's actually because they don't want to contact them ever again. They were sold into it by people who were supposed to love and care for them. It seems you can't trust anyone, not even your own family. Virgin sex workers are most prized and go for as high as 10, 000 rupees (S$500). that's alot of money in india, i was told. if you're an old prostitute, you're only worth five rupees a session. Barely enough for some bread and dahl! There's a huge fear of AIDS in india so child prostitues are in great demand. the men who visit the brothels range from bureaucrats to cab drivers. They even have these wickedly painful contraptions to stretch these girls' vaginas to make sex less painful for the men. What?! How about the pain these girls go through? The red light district flashed glaring eyes at us foreigners toting our cameras but really, it hid tales of extreme pain and sorrow. we were strongly discouraged to visit india's biggest and most famous red light district - Sonagochi. Completely run by the mafia, we were told if we go there, they'll send us running back home with our balls in our mouths. Though it was hard going emotionally, i was inspired by the counsellors over there who were passionate about helping these underserved people. I was there to help too and it made it easier. Having said all this, I'll do it again. And again. There was the thrill of danger and excitement, plus it felt like meaningful work. I don't think my articles on relationships and men really have an effect on people, but hopefully, this one will make a difference... |
3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 13,August,2004 | So... The weekend is over. How was it for you girls? whimsy: It sure was scary that we went into a drinking rampage. We literally went straight to the bar, ordered our bottle and slosh it all down in a wink! *blink blink* i'm proud to say that i still got up for the driving range session, plus swimming, plus Paulo's exhibition and finally berber's screening of her film. berber: from what i could see, i thought you did great in the film! you looked hot! Many people asked me what I thought of the film that night. I couldn't really answer. My viewing experience wasn't right to start off with. I was kinda disappointed with the set up. It was a fantastic venue with the right elements but if only the organisers had the brains to removed those balloons that were sticking out and blocking everyone's views. Perhaps, put in a little more effort to make the sound system sounding right and adjust the projection so that the constrast was set right? Everyone could then watch the film and appreciate it rather than trying to figure out what they have missed. :p it's just uncomfortable for me to see that. I would have expect that they would have got that covered since they're from a production background. Overall, I did feel that the film was light hearted and there were many funny parts that almost made me fall off my chair. So, for those of you who didn't make it to the screening, berber's got the dvd version. you should go watch it!! astro: last night was really nice and chilled. sushhhiiii anytime babe! anyway, would really love to see your pictures from calcutta. Tell us moreeeeeee..... bloop: met your deadline? thought you looked zonked out on friday. |

For the intensity of its nature lies in its very inability to last. How cruel, that the essence of its beauty should lie in its fragility. But I too, am comforted by this temporality: For its departure enables the entrance of new ideas, people, experiences, hope into our lives. For as much as we wish it to be different; The human vessel is not an infinite entity. It has to be emptied of some things, before it regains its ability to be filled again. mww, aug04 |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 04,August,2004 | http://www.lovetactics.com/ According to Bertrand Russell, 'Human nature is constructed so that it gives affection most readily to those who seem to demand it the least.' This being the case 'and I assure you it is' then what hope can any normal human being who intensely craves love and affection have of winning the one they want? Won't their very need for the other person be the thing that turns the one they want away from them? The answer is 'NO!' It is not the need for love, which all people inherently feel which drives others away from them, but it is their indiscretion about exhibiting that need. What we need to learn is to make a distinction in our lives between the way we feel and the way we act! Or, in other words, we must learn self-control. Not that we should suppress our emotions to the degree that we deny to ourselves what we are feeling. No, no indeed. We should always realize and be honest with ourselves what we are feeling inside. But we must be discerning, discreet and wise about the things we know about ourselves, which we share with others. Just because you find yourself desperately wanting someone, for example, doesn't mean you should act desperate. But neither does it mean you should try to deny the feeling in yourself. So you feel desperate! So what?! There's no shame in that. Join the club. Millions of wonderful, great, fantastic people who have lived long before you have felt this way. There's nothing wrong with wanting. But what I warn you against is not trying to control the way you talk about it to others. You see, a dog should wag his tail, not have the tail wag the dog. And YOU are the one who ultimately controls your behavior, your emotions should not be doing that. Remember when you were small and felt unhappy and upset about not getting your way? What did most of us do? We would lie down on the floor and act out our emotions by beating our fists on the floor and kicking wildly. But when we got older we learned to put away childish behaviors and hold back, except in the area of romance. What I'm saying is that we need to be mature in this area as well. 'But,' someone cries out, 'isn't it dishonest to not express what you feel?' 'No,' I answer. 'It's a simple matter of growing up.' The mature thing to do is to learn to distinguish between feelings and actions. Feel intently, deeply and honestly. But keep your behavior in check. That person who keeps his behavior separate from his feeling ultimately commands the most respect, and love from others. Remember how, as a child, you were instructed that if a big dog came rushing up to you, you must do your best not to show any fear? The reason was that, if you show fear, it encourages the dog to bite you. Well, sadly, the same thing applies in human relationships. If you tip your hand too soon that you're feeling vulnerable to the other person, then it actually invites them to emotionally burn you in some way. So act as brave as you can and keep your feelings to yourself. The key thing to learn from Bertrand Russell's statement is that love is given to those who seem to least demand it. Because the truth is we all need love 'desperately' but we can overcome the built-in disadvantage by learning how to act. |

TONIGHT!!!! i will be at 116, yes. :) not staying late either... i'm gonna be throwing myself into work full on and headlong. which also means getting in at 9am, and trying not to take cabs to work! astro babe... i think i'll get there 7ish or 8ish. will ring u to confirm! i'm definitely up for korean beef dinner anytime! lets do it, chickadees! :) ps. boo...

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 03,August,2004 | was rather good. :) after watching a movie, dinner, and pool with val till past midnight, ngak and i went on to hangout at the middle road muslim food centre (middle earth) for teh tarik and some crappy prata. to my surprise, he suggested getting some beer from 7-11 if i could hangout abit more. it was raining, quite heavily too - but off we went, splashing through unsheltered junctions along the way. after corona and wild turkey were purchased, we parked ourselves on some metal chairs and a glass table outside a quiet hotel just opposite hotel81. the going-on's at hotel81 proved quite entertaining... we could see everyone going in and coming out. heh... the most dodgy ones were this buncha 'queens' with one angmoh dude. 3 of them, very hot... but when we heard their voices drifting across to us across the road - woah. so anyways, we talked. about everything under the sun. and sometime in the middle of it all, he asked if he could ask me a personal question. 'well, quite a number of people have been telling me this... is it true that u have a thing for me?' i laughed and said, 'who told u? how come so many people know?' he couldn't quite remember exactly who, but nick and lina were included. i've never told nick or lina but i know that they would know. they woulda seen telltale signs. and they're both smart people. and they've seen ngak and i stay back late so often... besides, from the things that nick says, i already knew that nick knows. besides them, val has also told him the same thing. then he carried on to say, 'actually, i have a thing for u too.' i said, 'really?' and just smiled. all this time he was quite bashful, and would only look at me once in awhile. though after this, he managed to look me in the eye and smile. then after a beat or two, he said, 'but u do know my stand, right?' 'yeh, sally told me about it. ' 'well, there's more to it actually.' and he went on to explain that his previous (many) relationships have kinda ended the same way, and that the problem lies with him. none of the relationships he's had lasted more than one year. it seems to be a pattern happening all the time, and he doesn't want the same thing to happen again. so he's gonna try and change himself before going into anything with anyone. 'u're not disappointed or anything, are u?' 'nah, we'll just see how things go.' and he seemed happy with that answer. we went on to talk till 6+am. i always seem to be doing crazy, irrational things with him around. sigh. before we parted, our goodbye hug felt tighter than usual. as i closed the door of the cab, he was beaming at me while peering in the window. i went home, had a shower and went to work. it's amazing how i got through the day. i think a main factor which kept me up was the knowledge that he does like me too. :) at least now i know that he's not being nice to me just because he's the same with all the girls. and i feel much better now that he knows, and i know... and everything's out in the open. i managed to convince my graphic designer kamil to share a cab home with me come 6pm. already started dozing in the cab... reached home at 7pm, my brother was in the shower so i went to lie down first. guess what? i slept all the way through to 3am, still in my office clothes. ate some leftover dishes (left for me) and went back to sleep till 930am. called in sick. then slept till about an hour ago. i think i will go sleep somemore in abit... well, so the plan is to keep hanging out whenever, and see how it goes... :) |

3,933,663 | female | 27 | Publishing | Scorpio | 02,August,2004 | morning my dears, i must say i missed all of you loads! penang was so-so. kind of like, flew there and didn't really 'go' there? i was just in the shagri-la resort the whole time. Cosy and beautiful, this is def a place for honeymooners. i made friends with some crazy journalists - we had tons of beer and wine to drink for dinner. Many were hung over the next day when we had to catch the early morning flight. I'm glad to be back! Calcutta is my next destination for a work assignment. It's to explore prostitution there - a 5 day gruelling trip where i've to secure interviews with prostitutes (that other media are not interviewing). how am i going to do that? i don't know..but wish me luck. i'm super excited cos it's not just a product launch, but some real investigation! the other reality that i'm facing is i'm seriously considering moving to OZ. I so want to do this but i'm scared shitless. i wouldn't say it's 100% confirmed but it looks that way. Had the BIG TALK with D...it's a lot more serious than the other times. Many things are swirling in my mind about this...let's just say it'll be the craziest thing i'll be doing ever... bloop: would it be really hard to find a job there? boo: sorry i didn't call you. i really didn't receive your email on thurs. what did you end up doing? sounds like bloop and ber had a great weekend partying. looking forward to hearing from all of you =) |

870,843 | male | 17 | Student | Sagittarius | 16,June,2004 | : 'I'm tired of HD failures. I've suffered through a few of them. Even with backups, they are still a pain to recover from. I've got all fairly inexpensive but reliable hardware picked out, but I'm just not sure which RAID level to implement. My goals are to build a file server that can live through a drive failure with no loss of data, and will be easy to rebuild. Ideally, in the event of a failure, I'd just like to remove the bad hard drive and install a new one and be done with it. Is this possible? How many drives to I need to get this done, 2,4 or 5? What size should they be? I know when you implementddddd RAID, your usable drive space is N% of the total drive space depending on the RAID level.' |

2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | I guess this is the beginning. I need to edit the color scheme to my liking, and a couple other tweaks I want to make. It's 10:40 on a Sunday evening so I can't do everything. Bed looks comfy right now. Tomorrow I shall actually start with it. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Last night I was playing solitare on the computer and I compared it to life, well more my love life. This was after a fairly shitty evening, mainly questioning things I shouldn't. I was bored and didn't want to go to bed, so I played a couple games of Solitare. I wasn't doing very well, so I thought it went well with my love life (its what you call 'almost non-exisitant'). Well anyway I figured out that you can play the game tons and tons. Sometimes it looks like your going win no sweat. Everything seems to work just right until you run out of moves. You end up messing up and losing. Other times, however, it just seems like everything is kinda random. Things are working fine, but one card shows up and everything falls right into place and you win. I figured out no matter how many games you lose, you should still try at least one more time. You never know that might be the one you win I lost bout 5 in a row last night. I was getting fed up, so I said to myself one more then off to bed. Sure enough the game started kinda random, one card here, one card there. Then things kinda just fell into place, and I ended up winning. I am not exactly the most religious person in the world, but I do believe God is up there watching us. I had made the analogy of my life or love life to the games of solitare before I won, and partially because I wasn't winning. When I actually did win a game, I felt like Someone had a hand in it. I looked up and said 'I guess you don't want me to give up, huh?' I could see someone smiling at me at that moment. I'm a Catholic, I don't want to try to change your religion. It really doesn't bother me that other people don't agree with my beliefs or ideas about what or who God is. I don't feel that it should matter how or what people have faith in, only that they have faith in something. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | I may seem a like any other person in the world, enjoying good time and all of that. Granted this is true, there is a another side of me that I kinda keep to myself. Weither its because I dont want 'you' and whoever 'you' are to see that side of me or what exactly the deal is there I'm not sure, but I guess my Mind does have a Garden of Meloncholy inside. I wrote this tonite I sit and stare of these pictures of myself or someone that looks like it. You see something is different between you and I You in the picture there how can it be that you are me? smiling and clearly happy that hole inside of me seems to be filled or covered by that smile you should be no happier than I I should be no less happy than you What makes us so different? Maybe you are me I may be only your dilution your Happiness, so concentrated. so completely oblivious nothing else is shown I am is what became of that this world blackens the purest of hearts darkens the brightest eyes hardens the warmest hearts And I have had enough of this Something needs to change To stubborn to be subdued and completely conform with this dirt ball we call Earth I can't move the mound of the dead and hopeless corpses that buy into this shit that take what they are given only because it is given to them. I need to get away from you but, I don't know how. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Tonite was the National Honor Society Induction banquet or whatever you call it. So, I am an official member now. My Gramma and Grandpap went with us to the ceremony, and she got the pictures of me wearing the green suit devoloped. If your interested in seeing them urlLink let me know , I'll be more than happy to send ya the picture. I think thats all the news of my boring life for now. Besides the fact that I'm about 90% sure I am not going to the Prom this year. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | The suit was a great idea. I got a lot of sidelong glances and people shaking their heads laughing, but for every one of those I got about two 'Oh my God Mike, You are the man'. It was a good plan until track practice. I forgot to bring other clothes to drive home in and shorts aren't exactly the best garments for about 20 degree weather. I wasn't putting on the entire three pieces that went to the suit back on just to drive home, so shorts and a long underwear top worked out nicely. Wearing this suit today also taught me a very important lesson. Clip-on ties suck! I had to wear ties on the days of wrestling matches, so wearing a tie doesn't bother me at all. Hell, wearing a three-piece suit to school when everyone else had on blue jeans and tee-shirts didn't bother me at all either. I know how to tie ties as well, so that ain't a big thing. I like normal ties because you can leave the top button un-buttoned and its not rubbing on your neck all day, it doesn't feel like the shirt is choking you. You kinda can't do that with a clip-on, seeing how thats wut holds the damn thing on. From this day forward I declare that I refuse to wear clip-ons. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Today's advice: SAVE before trying to do something. I typed a long post just now and went to see something in another post. Instead of opening a new window (which I usually do) I just clicked to go there. The site told me that I was gonna lose all of it, so I went back clicked save as draft, and continued on my way. I forgot however that I needed to actually click the save button. So I lost it. I haven't updated in a while. I dunno, I guess I didn't get around to it or had nothing to say. Well, I had a great plan for St. Patrick's day. I'm a third Irish, so I figured I should have a way to celebrate that. I figured it would pretty cool to wear a green suit to school on St. Patty's day, thinking I wouldn't be able to do it (how often do you see a green suit?). Well, as I was picking up my younger siblings from my Grandma's house over the weekend, I mentioned my great plan to her. I guess you could call it luck, but she said that she figured that Grandpap had a green suit in the attic. Grandpap and I are built about the same, so trying it on, I found it fit. The Luck of the Irish no doubt. This Wednesday, I will be wearing a green three piece suit to school. Isn't it awesome?! I expect to get made fun of by the retards that don't get to much of anything unless its explained to them for at least five minutes. But most of the people it told my plan to think that its great. I'll most defientaly let you know how it goes afterwords. Being that I'm a Junior this year, I can go to the Prom. Wahoo! (If you missed it that was sarcastic.) I'm not huge on dances at school, they kinda play the same music everyone. The Prom seems like a glorified dance to me, so I'm not uber-excited about it. If I went I know who I would like to go with. I figured she wouldn't be interested, but I asked anyway. As it turns out, I may have been wrong. She hasn't given me an answer yet, so I think I need to chill out about the whole thing for now.

2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | It was in fact the Driver that was corrupted. I know this because it work right now after Downloading the new one. 'Happy Day,' Michael exclaimed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | After playing Morrowind for about 2 hrs today, I went to put an item in a box. Well, it didn't me to do this so I said 'Ah, well piss on it'. I clicked to close my inventory, and it didn't close. I walked a bit expecting it to blink off sooner or later. After about 10 minutes I began to realize something wasn't right. I reloaded the game before I made the 'fatal' error, and expected everything to be just peachy, expectations were not met again. I restarted my computer, (maybe that will fix it) only to have to start in 640X800 resolution and FOUR bits of color. Most disgusted I roll back my driver thinking thats the problem, well I was partially right. It restarted again to 640X800 16 bit color, having become accustomed to 1024X760, I gave up the color for the better resolution. Now I'm in the process of Downloading the newest Driver for my video card. I let my mom know what was up with the computer, because if this doesn't work a new video card may have to be purchased. This was a mistake. The 'You think you know what your doing, but really don't' speech got old back when we got our first Windows computer around '98. I had more to say but the little spat I had half way typing this pissed me off bad enough for me to forget what I was going to say. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Two things dawned on me today. 1. If your neck hurts, your gonna feel like shit. My neck hurt all day today, I must have sleep on it funny or something. I felt like I was sick, I didn't to do anything at all. All I keep thinking was... 'I need a Massage' 2. If your an active person, sitting on your bum and doing nothing depresses you. I didn't feel real awesome and social for the past couple weeks. Wrestling ended about the time I started to feel like that. Now that track has started and we've done something in practice I feel so much better. Its like the energy built up inside of me and began to rot, and made me feel like shit. A friend is letting me 'borrow' Morrowind for the PC. 'Awesome' you may say, others of you are saying 'What the hell is Morrowind'. I'm no expert at it, but its a really big RPG. Oh my, I constantly forget how many people don't play video games. Role Playing Game, Its supposed to be one of the best. I would be telling you how good or not it is right now, but, I left in my locker at School. Yes, I feel dumb. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Track practice started today. Something else to do besides sit on my ass all day long. School is wearing on my nerves again. Its so boring anymore. I feel like I'm not really learning anything. I'm being taught stuff, but I don't have to think. Just memorize and then puke the information back out on the test. The only think I actually enjoy in school is Visual Basics. I can make programs and see what I've done. If something doesn't work I have to look over the code and (here's the key) think about whats wrong with it. Its not a class of 'Here is a problem, tell me the answer', its 'Here's a problem, Fix it'. I think thats what I enjoy about it. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Didn't update this weekend because we (my family and I) went to the Cabela's store in Hamburg, PA. Long trip, shity hotel, but the store made up for it. It was big, not huge like I expected, but big. Not cheap either. It was more fun to walk around and look at the various exibits than actually 'shop' there. Not a really exciting trip, but it wasn't boring. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | This morning sucked. I was tired as all hell and didnt want to deal with anyone. It was one of those days where you just want to roll over and go back to sleep. Some where around 4th period the day seemed to brighten up a little. I love my computer class, its the only thing I get to think, not just memorize and regurate info. Its problem solving, I want the computer to do this, so I have to tell it to do this command. I am no where an expert yet, but I'm learning. Chem was next after lunch. AP Chem labs, oi, they suck. The labs themselves don't suck as bad as the lab reports. I shouldn't wait until the night before to do them, but ah well. Our thesbians (actors and actresses) performed the musical 'My Fair Lady' this afternoon. I didn't think it was that great, but I'm not exactly a musical expert either. Getting out of the afternoon classes was a definite plus. I have my driver's license a week ago. I know I'm not the best driver yet, but I think I'm not half bad. Well, Night and Fog suck. I found this out tonite driving home from Indoor Soccer Practice. Song of the day: 3 Libras - A Perfect Circle |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Yet another boring study hall. The kid next to me, Catoi, is playing Vice City, poorly I might add. I like the fact that he lets me enter codes, even after I had him die so many times before. The kid is dumb. Britt is cool. She is sitting on the other side of me in study hall playing Hangaroo, she was the one that typed it. I don't know if we loaded any games onto that one or not... Yes, Vice City is my doing on the computer next to me, Command and Conquer Renegade was also tryed but didnt work for some reason. It worked in the some of the other computer labs however. The Cu de grace was getting Halo to work. It was one of my prouder moments, followed by disgust the next day when the annoucement was made that the Network Admins were deleting all games off the schools server/computers. They have yet to finish the deletions. The big crack down was due to a virus being downloaded by someone to the schools network. My Vis basic teacher told us it was downloaded off of Kazaa. So we are not supposed to be downloading anything, have games on the hard drives, play games off of the server or through the LAN, also Instant messaging is also forbidden. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Hmm.. What happened today... Some of the Good and some of the Bad to follow Well, last night I found out that the girl I was interested in has a boyfriend (No it is not me). That kinda sucks but ah well, what can you do... Nothing really exciting happened in school today. Handed in the dumb 'shield' project. It wasn't hard just stupid, as I commented upon last night. In happier news:The kid with class rank #1 may be getting detention for skipping class. :) I shouldn't be happy about other people getting in trouble, but she shouldn't be a stuck up bitch most of the time. Our Chem teacher is The Man . He treats the class like we deserve to be treated, if we're doing good he's a real cool guy, if we are dicking around and talking, well... we know it. You do something dumb, like skip his class after asking if we had a quiz that day ( someone tried that today), he will nail you with as much detention as he can. I bought a Paintball gun today off of my cousin. Raptor Silver Eagle, real nice gun. I have to go get a mask and hoppers now and then I should be good to go. I still can't seem to get the colors to change right for this thing. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Well, I called . Short call but I got across what I needed to, I think. I have a 'shield' to make for Cultures class. It is to represent things about our lives, family, sports, etc. This wouldn't be so bad but for the sheer stupidity of it. How do teachers find simplistic projects such as this an aid to our learning experience? It makes life harder on everyone invovled, it takes up study time of other subjects for the student and takes up the teacher's personal time checking the projects that most do only just to get done. It was a beutiful outside today, about 50 degrees (warm enough for shorts) and I think I wasted it by being inside. Well tomorrow is supposed to be around 60 so... This post has been an on going thing all day since I got home. I guess tonight has to end with a 'To be continued...' Tomorrow is a new day. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | Sitting in Visual Basics class. Rager is amazed by the power of the Blog. Bored as hell because we are checking a test that I got a 100 on... I'll prolly update tonite as well, see how calling this girl goes. (Hopefully it goes well ;) ) I would play games but the Admin's kinda locked down on that last week, maybe next week I'll start again :P. I still need to tweak the colors and or learn the HTML colors. |
2,944,118 | male | 17 | indUnk | Gemini | 08,August,2004 | I got my Laptop today. Its great, I have to get all my stuff onto it yet. I love it, it faster than the PC I'm using now. The only reason I'm still using the PC is because I can't set up the internet on the Laptop yet. I tried MSN on it, but I had to set up a new account and pay another $21.95. So, I thought that since we have a MSN 9 disk here and it didn't ask to buy a new account when we upgraded this one.... Well, everything looked good, dialing the number getting connected, Authenticating.... and it died. Retrying in blank seconds. I let it got throw the numbers once to see if it was just that number. Nope not a single one worked. I have the laptop, but as of this moment its kind of disabled. I need a mouse for it also. The touch-pad that replaces the mouse is not my friend. I dislike using it very much. Some laptop have a, I don't know exactly what its called (the little red thing used as a mouse), that I feel works so much better. Since I won't be in school tomorrow, I will ask Duhara if he could hook me up with some cable to connect the laptop to the PC, so as I can pilfer the net off this thing. I'll look into a mouse sometime as well. Song of the day: Blue in the face by urlLink Akaline Trio |
