Wow. I am so sleepy. Getting ready for the big D.
I went to lunch with Clair and now I'm totally needing a nap. I
still have to pack and get dressed. Please grab me and say hello
if you see me walking about. There are tons of pictures of me on
this site if you need to know what I look like. Also, please please
come to my panels.

Thomas scored the new Dreamweaver MX for me. Honestly, its quite
a shock and I don't know if I'll be able to get into the swing of
it very quickly. We'll see. I've already created a new database
to practice on and stuff.
Sigh. I'm stressed out - very stressed out. Only a few more days
until dragoncon. I have so much to do. I hope I make it. Anyone
who wants to show their love for my by buying me a PHP or MySQL
book, feel free. Programming is hard.

Went to Secret Room last night. Danced with Eddie Ray and Daniel.
I Love them. Its really nice to see so many of my favourite people
all in one place.
Went to Kip and Karla's after SR. Had a fabulous time. I think everyone
always has a fabulous time there. Its so beautiful, how could you
not? Its nice to be able to talk to people without ebm-synthpop-industrial-noise
being played at ear shattering decibles. Heard and told lots of
funny stories. Saw some disgustingly adorable couple-action. I sprawled
out on one of the luxe couches, even employing the huge ottoman
in my quest for comfort. Mmmmm. I could've fallen asleep there.
The quiet sounds of a house full of happy people and little cute
conversations going on around me, coupled with the crashing sound
of the water fall going into the hottub almost put me under. |

Well, the Six Flags pictures are
up. Some of them are pretty rough looking. I think my melting point
is anything above 80. It was excruciatingly hot yesterday plus the
humidity made it unbearable. I almost didn't go because of the weather.
It cooled off a bit at night, but was still really hot. You can
see us all sweating and being sort of miserable waiting in line.
Luckily the lines were very short, and many rides didn't have lines
at all. I'm pretty sure there is nothing worse for your skin than
Six Flags. Its hot, you get all sticky, so bits of dirt cling to
your skin and infiltrate your pores, then the water rides splash
you with this very unpure brownish water - thankfully none of that
got on my face. Daniel is great and I love him. That was a really
nice thing to do for all of us. Everyone had a wonderful time [Especially
Jason and Amy - see hot
dog and corn dog
pictures]. |

Mmmmmm. I slept very late.
Thursday night I went to the Chamber, danced a bit, then went to
the Masquerade, then went back to the Chamber. I had a good time
at both. But, I seem to be able to have a good time anywhere I go
- especially if the proper company is involved. Yeah. Pete Reddington.
I can't talk about him. Need to scan his pictures. I wonder if he
has the same effect on everyone. Just wait, you'll see.
Friday we went to Six
Flags and then went swimming. I have the pictures, I just
need to edit them a bit and drop them in the album. I had a really
great time and it was very nice of Daniel to invite all of us.
I love my friends. They're so diverse and wonderful. The one thing
we all have in common - we're all attracted to boys.
Swimming a week or two ago, I said to Eddie Ray "Eddie, you
know what my problem is..." He cuts me off and says "You
hang out with too many homos." Sigh. He's right. I do. I
just don't know very many straight men. Atlanta is not a straight
city. Its a gay city. Everyone is gay. Except the really fabulous
girls. So, I would assume that men who were even remotely intelligent
would realize that there are huge groups of gay men and their
fabulously hot straight girlfriends just roaming the city lamenting
the lack of manliness. Why haven't they realized this secret?
Don't even attempt to recommend Backstreet - I refuse to go there.
I really want a Chipwhich.

Goodness. Yesterday was an incredible day. So much happened. Client
meeting, lunch with jason, shopping at Town Centre, web work, power
out, Chamber, Masquerade, Chamber, party in McDonald's parking lot,
A.
I don't like it when I lose things.
Wednesday - Lost driver's license.
As I'm going up to the door of the Armory, all my friends come out
to meet me, I laugh and talk and am generally in swarm, then as
an afterthought the cute little door boy asks for my ID. I go to
get it from my wallet. Its gone. I freak out and rush to get in
my car. Hysterics ensue.
Sherrod Solution - I remember that I put it in my pocket to vote
on Tuesday, I drive home frantically to find it. Find it, return
to club. Have happy night.
Thursday - Lost spikey bracelet
I vividly remember putting it in my black jewelry box so that I
wouldn't lose it. I lost it.
Sherrod Solution - Felt compelled to drive almost an hour in Atlanta
rushour traffic to get another.
Thursday - Lost favourite Victoria's Secret Mascara
I used it saturday, can't find it now. I have lots of different
kinds of mascara, but - I need this mascara. It gives me
anime eyes.
Sherrod Solution - use this loss as another reason to go shopping
for bracelets. Such that a trip for two psycho items makes it
somehow less psycho.
I get hysterical and completely lose sanity when I can't find
certain things. Especially things I use daily. God. Its definitely
some sort of disorder.
Speaking of disorders - spoke with A last night for a very long
time. I have that very depressing analogy about relationships.
I won't recount it now - far too depressing. But, each person
is a surgeon or a patient. I can't figure out which one he is.
That sort of is a perfect situation I suppose. An un-related but
still medical analogy is that I feel like he is a cure for something.
I have a sense of feeling better each time I talk to him. Exponentially
too. Not just meted degrees.
I'm trying hard to balance things. So many messes to clean up.
Going to to 6 Flags tonight with the kids. That should be fun.
I'll take pictures.

I will win all of my battles. But beyond just winning, I will do
so with beauty, purity, honesty and honor.
I always win. Not because I'm spoiled or because I cheat... but
because I am focused and determined and I fight harder.
Victory is important
to me. |

I'm exhausted. I can't believe how busy my life is. Its insane.
Sigh. I don't have a regular job and I'm not in school and I've
never been so busy in my life. I have a lot on my mind. I need someone
to talk to.
I got a new client today, another interior designer. I seem to be
doing a lot of clients that sell aesthetics to people. Designers,
art dealers, etc. Interesting. I went to school for art and have
worked tech type jobs my whole life [aside from the Hello Kitty
employee stint in high school].
I Also got asked to help a friend with a site he is working on.
Should be fun and relaxing. I like group projects. Unfortunately
my first mock up was called "cartoony" and not professional
enough. Sigh. Geeks. Can't live with them, can't find one to come
over and make KDE work.
I also redesigned Sifl's site. I can't help it, BSDiva
is the only fun I really get to have on the web. Redesigns are
fun when there is very little content. Very satisfying.
Now let's talk about contact. Sigh. I love you. I really do. But,
god... my phone is ringing off the hook. My aim lights up like
christmas the moment I sign on. I beg of you. Please... sometimes
I am too busy to talk, but am working with people on line, or
having questions answered. Forgive me if I'm unable to talk every
moment. If for any reason you are unable to accept these circumstances
and my gracious unavailability, please feel free to not message
or call me anymore.
I haven't mentioned my hair. I got great extensions from HairPolice.
They are absolutely gorgeous. I got blue, baby blue and white.
Along with several kinds of plastic. Its beautiful and I just
love it. The white and a lot of the plastic are UV reflectant.
The plastic glows in the dark. As you can imagine, the Chamber
with its ceiling full of black lights is my new favourite place.
I also picked up one of those spikey glow bracelets that everyone
has. So fun. I will take pictures eventually.
I'm going out to the new goth night at the Armory tonight. No
one actually listens to or plays goth music in Atlanta. Its strange
that they still call them 'goth nights'. I was promised much britpop
and eurothrash or whatever its called. That should please me.
After that we are going to my personal favourite club in the city
- MJQ. Gorgeousness
and gorgeosity.

Spoke with Adam
last night. He actually is the person that convinced me to get a
webcam. He's also the first person I ever talked to on ICQ. I think
its been like 6 years now. God. He rocks. We're going to meet up
in Las Vegas. I will buy him a hooker and make him a t shirt. LaCrosse! |

I'm full of hate and pain today. Going to take a nap. Not a "nap".
Not "sleep," but sleep. Like normal people. 6.30p kickboxing.
I have a lot of agression to take out today. I miss Carl. Need...
I'm the nice one, I'm the sweet one. Everybody says so.

Do what it takes to make yourself happy. Not momentary, hedonistic,
selfish at the expense of others happy. I mean truly happy. Sincerely,
sublimely, completely, monumentally happy. Take the actions to insure
against misery. Hate your life? Start a new one. Its never too late.
Don't think that you deserve anything less. Know yourself. Follow
your bliss. Make the decisions to better your existence. Don't settle.
Believe in yourself. Take your own advice.
And you... the one that looks like Christmas - take care of yourself,
your pain is killing me. |

Had orange juice this morning. My favourite kind. Tropicana Pure
Premium. No pulp. Its mine. I don't have to share
it. I don't have to compromise. Think that makes me happy or miserable? |

Just spoke with Madison. He is by far one of my most favourite people.
Nothing is ever wrong, no one is ever disappointed. He understands
the vast diversity of my needs. I admire that. He was great with
Suede too. She loved him. Too bad he lives on the other side of
the country. Perhaps he'll come home for christmas and bring me
presents. |

"Choo know how to do de kips, right? Chess, de kips are important,
watch, I show choo ze kips." The instructor for kickboxing
tonight was so adorable! He's like the crunch version of Ricky Martin.
He had this total latin lover accent. He kept saying "kips"
instead of "kicks" I couldn't stop laughing. His name
is Tony. But I'm guessing that's short for Antonio. His english
was basically non existant. It rocked. He would talk and point to
body parts and say "jhess part, here" And the people in
the class would be like "You mean... chest?"
God, it was great. He wore a black tank top and camoflauge BDUs.
Super hot, and he smiled the whole time like it was the happiest
day of his life or something. He did a lot of upper body work. The
girl instructors usually do a lot of lower body stuff. So, its a
good mix up. He made us run laps around the studio. That sort of
sucked. I'm not a runner. I go there to learn the skills of physical
combat - not run. How lame. Running is lame. Only lamers run. If
you run, you're lame. Yeah. Heh. |

Kickboxing was great tonight. The instructor really rocked. I love
her, and her body is amazing. She's really funny and makes me laugh
while attempting to kick ass. I'm exhausted. Going to eat something.
Laundry and website work tonight. All night. Bob comes thursday.
Yea! |

Mmmmmmm, what a lovely day for me. So many great things happened.
Super relaxed and happy. My dad called me today and he will be
coming through Atlanta on thursday. I'm so excited. I miss him
lots!
I got lots done on my sites, Sam made a flash intro type thing
for lucafineart.com
He is my hero. Also, I worked some on the other sites. I planned
on making a place to download all the cool fonts I use, because
my font collection is pretty cool.
But then I thought maybe I should keep them for myself. Heh. Relaxing
night of nothing ahead. Maybe make some recreational phone calls.
Yoga tomorrow.

Quote of the Day:
"Obscurity is not Security"
I don't know why I like that quote. It just makes me laugh and
laugh. It so funny. Maybe because it rhymes. Or maybe because
it sounds like info sec for 3rd graders. Like, there is a new
charcter on Sesame Street and he is an MCSE,
and he has to use rhyming to remember that NAT is not a security
solution. God. So funny. Say it out loud and you will laugh too.

Ahhh, something about sticky bits and SUID. How fun. What would
I do without the BSDm tutorial application? I'd be pretty screwed,
I think. Its WAY better than man. God, man is hell.
Going to put more ram in sifl. Found the manual
for his motherboard. Add ram, then upgrade to -stable OpenBSD.
I still desperately need a workstation to run X
on. I want something state of the art circa 1999. Heh. Help me...
seriously. Donante me a decent workstation for X,
and I'll do something nice for you. Need webdesign work? I'm good
at that. Or pick something else - within the confines of the law,
thank you - and we'll work out a trade. Hrm... I could name it after
you. Then you'd have a machine named yourname.bsdiva.com. Thats
pretty cool. Also, free webspace on any of my many domains is available
too. Yeah yeah. Think about it, make me an offer. I must have KDE! |

He blames me. I blame him. We will now not speak to each other for
several days. The conflict ? Basically we're both cranky about not
being able to spend enough time in each other's company. Sigh. Dysfuncti0nal. |

I'm going to kill Theo.
What a French-Canadian d0rk. Fricking OpenSSH got trojaned. Sigh.
Its covered lots of places and it got fixed a few hours ago, but
this is ridiculous. People complain about MS secruity, but the *nix
operating systems are really taking it in the ass lately.
Info from deadly.org
available. As well as this
list of lots of developments. Talk about barebones - you have
to copy/paste the links into your browser. Heh.
It was trojaned sometime between July 30 and 31. I upgraded to
openssh3.4 on the 29th. Ugh. Feeling the need for a reinstall.

Now is a good time. I will get 4 hours of sleep. Its worth it.
I hate Houston. I hate it so much I am going to burn it down.
A lovely boy recounted a story for me. He said his girlfriend
got whiney when he started reading his perl
book in front of her. I suggested a compromise - "Teach
her perl,"
I said. He said she can't even turn on a computer.
He then recounted this old adage "If she can't turn a
computer on, she can't turn me on."
He's obviously a genius.
Too bad his city will shortly be consumed by flame.
