changeBlog is
changeBlog is becoming a reality
I hope to have it done by tonight. It’s coming together pretty easily, actually. This whole CSS thing is making sense. Just have to build a few more pages, and do some other various and assorted things, and then we will have something new and shiny to play with.
EDIT: If you see things in limbo for the next couple of hours, pay it no mind. I’ll tell you when to Ctrl+F5 to see the new site for sure.
Immutable truths
1.) Shit will happen at the oddest of times. Especially when you don’t want it to happen.
2.) MovableType doesn’t like the < symbol when you type it out straight, use & lt; for that duty.
3.) There’s always a tough decision that needs to be made, just some are tougher than others.
4.) Someone will always be there to cheer you up.
5.) Just when you think you will be single the rest of your life, things change. Ladies start noticing you. Then, you’ve got to decide which one.
6.) There’s always a funnier video on the internet.
7.) Stepping away from the monitor is never a bad thing.
8.) When you finally get to be on your own, you’ll never want to go back.
9.) Pants can be worn for three days. Four if you sleep until the middle of the day every day.
10.) Sometimes you miss people, but never know what to say to them when you contact them again.
11.) Sometimes you’re just sorry for a whole timespan in your life. Say about 2 years.
12.) I’ll always be here, at this website, if any of you need me.
13.) Sometimes, the stakes are too high, but you can’t get out of the game.
14.) When people you’ve grown close to are in trouble, and you can’t be there for them, it’s the most horrible feeling in the world.
15.) I love you.
16.) There will always be something new that I discover that will amaze me.
17.) Even though there is no air, the house smells, and it’s dusty, it’s still home.
18.) Clueless isn’t a state of mind, it’s a way of life.
19.) Blogging is lots harder than it should be.
20.) Beer thirty is at 7 PM nightly.
Hi.
I’ve struggled with blogging as of late. Could be because I was sick. Cou;d be because I just didn’t have anything to talk about, or could have been that I was taxing myself so heavily between finals, then not really having internet time to think while at home, and then having to get everything settled here. I don’t know what it is, but the block has finally lifted. The words are flowing like they used to. Things are getting better.
Murray is my magic cure for everything. It got me better from my 5 day snot-a-thon, which was a relief. All it took was about 24 hours in town and one good final blow, and it was over with. For those that want to know more, let me know.
I love my place here in Murray. Poor little me still has no digicam, but picture this in your mind. A 20 x 20 room, walls painted gray, ceiling painted black, wood floor. That’s the masterpiece. It’s very me, very dark, dank, cavey. No air conditioning but it’s nothing my fan can’t solve.
My roommates are wonderful. They helped me move in, and have seen if I need anything, and are more than happy to get it or help me get it. It’s really worked out nice. My next door roomie is a little on the odd side, but he’s a good guy, and I’m glad to do anything for him.
We, as a house, have a dog. It’s a rat terrier, about 1 year old, goes by the name of Prissy. Got dropped on one of the roomie’s girlfriend’s door. Cute thing, spontaneous, always full of life, always full of piss and shit. Can’t leave one patch of carpet alone. I thought my allergies would get to me, but so far, the little mutt and I don’t have any problems.
The freedom to enjoy everything I just wrote about, and everything else that I may or may not write about later is the most wonderful part. It’s something about getting out from under those wings, spreading your own, and flying that is just, for lack of better, orgasmic. It’s really mind changing as I sat here my first night and took it in that I WAS FREE. I was on my own, paying all my own bills, doing all my own thing. There were no parents or dorms or classes or work (well, at least the first few days), that were going to tell me “NO”. No. It’s a word I’ve heard all my life. From inside. From others. But now, even if just for a fleeting few months this summer, I was now the only person allowed to tell me “NO”.
That is wonderful.
So now, I’m sitting here, on my futon, in my room, lights off, laptop propped up in my lap, and typing this. It’s 3:27 AM and I need to be up in just a very few hours. But, I can’t sleep. Maybe it’s that realization that I’ve finally made it. That it’s finally all about me. That I may win the game.
I’ve been doing lots of reading lately on the internet, and really, it’s just been a waste of my time. It’s a site called adequacy.org , and it was put up long ago just to piss people off. If you are into tech stuff, you may have already read their satirical masterpiece “Is your son a computer hacker?”. If you haven’t, go there and read it, but please, realize that the author, despite how serious he wants you to take it, it just being ignorant to get under your skin. Let it slide.
I’ve been doing lots of reading on the internet lately, and really, it’s been some pretty interesting stuff. If you haven’t heard of wikipedia, go there, pick a topic you like, and start reading up on it. It’s like a drug, you’ll get addicted. There is always something there that you can look up, and if you don’t find it, heaven forbid, then start it yourself.
It’s going to be a full summer. Already have 3 weekends booked, and that’s without planning the trip to NY that I so desperately need to go on (hey Laura, how about you come see me? You’re parents will help you with it. Mine won’t.). I get to go help Crusade for Children in two weekends, I’m seeing AS two weekends after that, and then Father’s Day is the weekend after that. So yeah, busybusybusy.
I have IRC back for the first time in ages. It feels wonderful. I getto talk to people I haven’t seen in forever. Damn uni. I hear it’s going to be implemented back when we return in the fall. We’l see.
I’ve rambled enough.
I’m getting better…
I’m feeling lots better tonight than I was a couple of nights ago. This is a good thing. I’m also geared up to go back to Murray in a handful of hours. Getting back there means more to me than some people know. So, I hope to see everyone tomorrow around the usual time and all that. Take care of yourself, and I’ll be back to you before you even realize it.
When Deezil’s away, the cats will play.
Hi everyone, I’m in the country for the week. Limited and sporadic use of the internet is to be expected. I’m sorry that I can’t be around to talk, but as soon as I get back home, we’ll have internet 24/7 again, and I’ll be around to blog, help others set up their blogs again *coughLauracough*, download files, redesign this site, and my other main one, and generally be able to do whatever the hell I want to do.
If you need anything, call my cell. The message will let you know how to get a hold of me.
RTF,
Deezil
Fucking shitcakes damnit
Quick update: I’ve hurt my back. Badly. Helping other people move out. Now I need help moving myself out.
Also, get out of the shower tonight to see that one of my suitemates has thieved my towel and taken it home with them. I just expect it back when they come back next fall.
Short Term Technological Snafus
So tonight, since about midnight, it seems that everything technology based has been falling apart. eBay won’t work right, I have no cell phone signal, it’s all just kinda screwed up. Damn me for trusting so much of my everything into technology. It’s been nothing but effing trouble.
From optimism to pessimism
To all those that frequent my left side links:
Soon, the link to Laura will change from maybe-not.net to probably-not.net . Update your bookmarks as well. Just making you aware that the change will occur sometime in the future. I’m sure she’ll dive into why, but I’ll let her do that on her time. Here’s to the continued success of the LauraD empire.
Cheers (even though it’s now some sort of bad thing for a 21 year old to have a drink)!
Because those who matter are being taken care of:
Laura,
I don’t know the specifics of what exactly is going on here, but please, let me know, send me your CSS and anything else you want, and you’ll have a new home here. Fuck them and what they do. You do your own thing, and that’s perfectly alright from the staff here at Deezil. They can’t tell me to take down SHIT.
Feel free to do whatever. You can make a temporary home here. That’s the least I could do for you.
A funny for those who know me.
To leave the string of despondent posts behind:

You’ll only really get this if you know me and my history with this class.
And yes, I know, horrible chop job, but, I can’t do any better.
I’m still alive
If I had the energy to tell you more, I would. But, I’m still here. Barely.
My apologies.
The offense has been taken care of.
Permanently.
To whom it may concern, part deux:
I’m going to be away from the internet for a few days. I’ve got alot of shit to do, and little time to do it in. If you need something, e-mail me, or call. Messengers will be off. Thanks for your co-operation, and have a great day.
