Some random things

1) I had a dream last night that my annoying step-cousin faked her own death and we all had to sit through her funeral at which she finally popped up and said, "Just kidding, I'm alive!" Her parents, who think she can do no wrong, are major naive (I mean, the girl is 29, living in the same house with her boyfriend all the way across the country and she has her parents believing they sleep in separate rooms. Maybe they do for whatever reason but they sure as hell share the same bed sometimes. I'm fairly certain her parents still think she's a virgin. I have news for them - I'm pretty sure that horse was out of the barn before she left high school.) Anyway, in the dream they were simply ecstatic (rightly so) but didn't see anything wrong with the fact that she had strung them and us along for days thinking she was dead. I was pissed. I even woke up angrily indignant at 5:30am because of it. Grrr...

2) I think I have walking pneumonia - or at least the symptoms. I had a cold about a month ago and I haven't quite yet stopped coughing. I looked it up and it's possible the symptoms are my lungs trying to heal themselves. I think I'll call my doctor.

3) Does anyone out there know how to "save a picture to their server" when it comes to Blogger? I had to steal someone else's source code in order to post Yoda over there.

4) Happy day 3 of NaBloPoMo. Welcome folks!

I used my flickr account to post 'ole Yoda. It's free. It's mostly easy. If you need help, lemme know. http://www.flickr.com/

Have you coughed so hard that you peed your pants? That's what happened to me when I had walking pneumonia.

Aren't you glad a complete stranger shared that with you?

P.S. Good Blog.

I put most of my images on Photobucket. My Flickr account is for pictures I take with my (or my fiance's) camera.

I had to get Fussy herself to help me with my icons. If you download the picture and save it to your desktop, you can upload it as a picture and then save it on blogger's server. You can also add code to link the graphic back to the NaBloMoPo website.

I like your blog's use of color. Drop me a line if you want more help with the pic!

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
