Um, so no woman in my family has gotten chicken pox... and 2 days ago I was exposed for the umpteenth time (have been exposed at least 15 times in the past) Today I wake up with sore throat.. the greasy metal tasting kind.
Somehow I think it's unrelated, but man it just proves how much I do need my sleep when stressed. *goes to turn off phone*
Ragu... damn the thing I hate most about crapy sauce is how it has a knack of staining everything when it spills.
Now it seems we have our own virtual sauce spiller, yet again. How many times do I have say it folks? It's in the VR Manual. Just because you feel that a Dominar is being "unfair" for closing a thread, when on the first page there are at least 3 other threads that are STILL OPEN and about the SAME THING.
READ THE FUCKING VR MANUAL
Perhaps you should try the Acolyte test. When you fail it, because trust me when I say this, you do NOT know the rules here. When you fail the test, perhaps you will understand that in your wisdom, you still have not learned a valuable lesson: There are always going to be people who know more, understand better and have something to teach that you cannot. Perhaps then, you will become the leader you wish to be, somehow I think this knowledge will break you.
and while yer at it... buy me some more Oxyclean because I am sick of the drama for drama sake and would like a clean shirt. Meh.
When I was sick of the Cure (right after standing on a beach they started to annoy me, for some reason I don't remember) I started listening to Jene loves Jezebel...
And yes, I had big hair back then... about a can and half of aqua net to get my self going for the week, and 45 min each day. No wonder these days it only takes me 5 min for makeup.
I don't know if it's not eating at the proper times, or if it's just doing too much... but the fatigue is extreme. At this rate I feel like it never will get done.
It is, slowly but surely. ACK. Good thing is I am starting to see more clients, but there is so much more than just that.
I hate marketing. Really- I do.
If only there was a way to not have it and get the results.
I'm in a piss poor mood. I get that not everyone will "get" what I'm doing. But I am flippin sick of downrates without even a comment of what to do better.
I understand CONSTRUCTIVE crit. And I may disagree because said person isn't looking at the idea of what I am doing. But at least they give a comment.
When I go to the profile of said downrater... and all I see is NOTHING?! GRRRRRRR that really pisses me off. Because most of us view ourself as a 10- let's be honest here... not your work persay... but YOU.
"oh I'm a 10, but you are a 4"... what the fuck ever. And people wonder why I typically don't look at ratings or rate back. This is why. Sheesh. For once I would prefer intellegent conversations about what I'm doing. Some of my best work has come from someone saying "I don't get that" or "it works till here" that gives me something to work on... /rant until I'm dumb and look again :P
I'm writing a bit today both tax crap, business and for me.
And this song I've been wanting to hear for ages... I used to play this song so much I ruined 3 tapes. So much of it still speaks of me and how things have been. Not as hopeless as it may sound, more of just how I view things, new beginnings.
And while over played in High School this is another oldie but goodie...
Plus I stole this one from a rat with good taste :)
That I called my lawyer today. Seems he sent out an email requesting more information of my soon to be new boss and myself, only neither one of us got the email.
=/
This is not good, as I was hoping to be in the final stretch of this and now am looking at 4 weeks. I hope my request goes through more quickly, since I have already been approved once and am here on that job. Adding this second one will not only secure me financially but will allow me the down time to not have to work as hard as I have been this past month.
There are days I am so fatigued, that I can only just stay on the couch. Not because I'm physically working so hard, but mentally I'm bouncing off the walls.
It's also part of why I've been silent with many of my friends- I am truly sorry about that, but I just can't seem to focus and the effort of writing right now seems to be greater than my want to communicate.
I am definately not as young as I used to be. Even the farmer's market is having a greater toll on me than in the past year. Perhaps I am finally shutting down and fully adjusting to life here. It could be what I am experiencing is nothing more than my body recovering from all the stress I put it under last year just to get here.
When I stop to think about how far I have come, it is amazing. Even with the little things how listening to that small voice and honoring yourself can truly bring good things. Granted I've had some awesome people helping out *Maverick, Starr, Freek, MrD, Imagesinwords, Requiem, and so many others I just can't express my full gratitude!
There is much more to come... but for now, TV and home made poutine call *damn those crazy canooks for the worst habit I could develop*
For no other reason than I feel like crap. Not in horrid way... but in the deep achy need sleep way.
Good things, I made split pea soup with the Ham bone my roomie's parents sent home with me for the dogs on Easter sunday (now that I've used it- the doggies will get it over the next few days)
AND I've made Requiem's secret chilli reciepe :)
HMMMMM it smells soooo good. And NO you can't have it, nor will I tell you what I had to do to get it.
What I have to say to those who dislike my portfolio for not being "Art"
14:31 Apr 06 2007 Times Read: 1,428
Actually you missed the ENTIRE point of my portfolio.
The "poor" quality ones are scans because digital photos were not around in the 1970's or in the 80's actually it's only been since the last 7-9 years that people could actually afford to have them.
They are pictures of my life, things that I have done. Had you taken the time with the slide show (granted I still have many captions to add- as it was I spend over 4 hours putting that portfolio together so things were done chronologically) you would get more of the story.
My artsy one are the ones that are in the description. They were created for an ambiance that no longer is available for members according to VR rules. They are the continuation of the feel of the profile. Originally I had it how you would have liked it, since the rules have changed- there is no way to share my life in slideshows (as it was previously in the description- now that would be too long). So that is where the ones that are done as art will stay.
The rest is a story of life, mine. Perhaps you should take a bit more time next time to look into how people are doing things, than to judge based off your own opinions. People tend to learn better when taught certain basics, yet someone with talent in that arena will always do more than people with little. My personal take is to rate off of effort. You can tell when someone has spent time and is attempting to express themselves. I find that the most interesting, it's like a glimpse into another life that you don't have to live. Besides as you age, you learn that art varies from person to person, and while you are right about quality, you are wrong about why I have the quantity. And even if I were trying to express “art” pictures are not where I have done mine. Mine was done on the stage- but you would have known that had you watched the slide show with the costumes that I made.
I always find humour in those that rate harshly and have little to show in their own profiles/portfolios.
Just as an FYI - I am considerably older than you, and do not have time to "update" my entire life in Photoshop. Nor do I think I should have to, for people to get an idea of what my life has been like.
Just like a book. Some people will enjoy it others will not.
I love portfolio bombing, I love profile bombing... I will not just rate them with 1's... I will be patient and see if they can develop to more... even though they gave me a 1 and didn't have the balls to leave a message- and the other left me a 5 with scarecrow...
Screw it. Maybe once they put more there I will change my rate till then 2 for the one with the jibberish profile that's graphics make difficult to read, and one for the scarecrow >:)
There, I feel better. BAH! lol How pathetic was that entry? See what happens when I over fatigued?! LOL Woot!

Question: wat are vampires actually and is there any spells using which we can make them ur slaves and take their help in doin good 2 the world
Response:
This is not a place for role-playing questions, it is a place for questions with the WEB site.
Well I'll be darned... I just got this in an email:
"You are exactly the kind of writer that we are interested in representing and working with over the long term.
We would like to proceed further with you. Basically, we feel that your poetry and writing that we have seen thus far has commercial potential and that if polished and presented properly, we can sell it."
Thank gods you haven't done a mark of shame yet.. because otherwise I'm sure after tonight you would change Requiem, Moonie and My titles to in the red letters "LOOSER".
Obviously not. My annoyance isn't at the whole group rather those individuals that make something that should be VERY easy difficult because they lack the 3 minutes at most per message, and then the 3 minutes of time getting to know other people to figure it out. Then there are those that are "too good". Perhaps they should speak up and go where something like this isn't so hard or so much of an imposition.
