Ugh. I am such a fricking dork.

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.

Quote of the Day:

"a dead greek god. a thirty foot cock. muscle tone where there is bone and shadow. golden lips that speak no wrong."

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].
Saturday 24.08.2002 6:57 PM

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.

Saturday 24.08.2002 1:46 PM

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.

Friday 23.08.2002 12:42 PM

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.
Friday 23.08.2002 4:05 AM

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.

Wednesday 21.08.2002 11:33 PM

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!
Wednesday 21.08.2002 2:19 PM

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.

Monday 19.08.2002 2:52 PM

I put up pictures from Secret Room last night.
A selection of images is up at AtlantaGoth.com

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.
Monday 12.08.2002 5:13 PM

If all of the Penn Avenue parties end up like that, I'm never missing another one - ever.
Sunday 11.08.2002 1:38 PM

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?
Thursday 08.08.2002 12:52 PM

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.
Wednesday 07.08.2002 9:17 PM

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!
Tuesday 06.08.2002 10:05 PM

I miss those times back when you were fun and passionate and interesting and amazing and I worsipped you because you were god.
Tuesday 06.08.2002 4:42 PM

I made a Site Map. Wow. I have so much crap. I'm preparing for a redesign, plus a reformat of my win and graphics machine, olly. Oh my.
Sunday 04.08.2002 6:51 PM

I put up neato content on sifl. Its a short little bio about him and his life. He is going to be an internet phenomenon! Hehe. Check it out.
Sunday 04.08.2002 4:02 PM

fonts !!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

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.

Saturday 03.08.2002 7:16 AM

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!
Saturday 03.08.2002 2:41 AM

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.
Friday 02.08.2002 2:35 PM

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.

Thursday 01.08.2002 1:25 PM

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.
