So hello and welcome to twenty-ten, err, two thousand ten… yeah, which ever you want to call it. Welcome to the New Year! I’m about a dollar late and a day short it being the 5th already, call it procrastination, I’m good at it.
I hope everyone had a good couple of days. I actually had plans but teh bunnies and teh bird got a teeny bit scared during the day when the idiot neighboring kids decided to let some of those bomb type fireworks off right next to the wall. Nearly scared the life out of them, and me. It was both the bunnies and the birds first New Year’s experience and I had to give the bunnies something to relax because they were completely freaked out and were literally running scared. The bird was fine as long as he could bury himself in my clothing, while I was in them mind you, and found his safety that way. By the time the real fireworks started, I had the bunnies on the desk with me and they buried themselves in my arms and against each other… So I just decided to pop in a movie and try to relax with half a zoo crawled up against me.
Now recently, thanks to P, a good friend of mine, I got completely emerged in the world of hidden object games. Especially the creepy scary ones. I just love it. The puzzles that come with it are so much fun to do, and really trains my brain to think outside the box. The hard games that is, some of them are just, err, let’s say pathetic, even a toddler could do those.
Some of the ones I’ve played are Return To Ravenhearst, The Natalie Brooks Series, Magic Academy 2, Born Into Darkness, Enlightenus and Marooned. I can say that Born Into Darkness is one of my favorites, it has VAMPIRES in it, so that’s an automatic given. I adored Return To Ravenhearst as well.
Have any of you played Hidden Object Games (H.O.G), if so what do you think about them and do you have any recommendations?
Why hello there end of November. Did you know that your last day is the last day of National Blog Writing Month? Well now you do and by posting this blog I will have made it through my first ever NaBloWriMo! Yay me! You know what. I think I might be able to keep up with posting daily, or at the very least every other day.
Doing a semi-forced posting of entries actually made me take more time to just sit down for about fifteen minutes (average length) and think about what I’ll be writing. Sometimes I’ll think of it in the morning but I won’t have time until later in the evening (like uhm, lets say a few minutes before midnight) so I just jot it down on paper somewhere so as not to forget it.
Yay to me again for making it through.
Also. I’ve been nauseous for the past hour or so. I DO NOT want to throw up, but it feels like THAT kind of nauseous. The constant need to cough isn’t helping much either.
You know, maybe I should write more about sex. It shot my visitors through the roof. The funny thing is though. I ain’t having any. I just posted a funny. I think this is yet another piece of proof that EVERYTHING revolves around sex.
Hm, actually, I think that EVERYTHING revolves around all the taboo things we can’t or are not allowed to talk about for fear of people ridiculing others.
I think I’m going to put the keyword ’sex’ into every post for the rest of NaBloWriMo and see what that does to my ratings.
People all around the internet have been doing the National Blog Writing Month since it first started and I have always avoided doing it because I thought I’d fail miserably at it.
I had set a goal for 101 goals in 1001 days that I’d post once a day for an entire month and started this on October 16th and would finish November 17th, but with November being NaBloWriMo I decided to elongate the month and finish out the entire month to participate in NaBloWriMo.
I have been going good since the 16th, so I am certain that I will make it through the entire month and there would have to be one hell of an emergency for me not to post each day.
What do you say to a woman who has made A LOT of lesbians and bisexuals very happy on a daily basis (save for the occasional holidays, even the gays take a day or two off). A simple ‘thank you’ just doesn’t seem right.
In April 2002 there was this lesbian who was dissatisfied with the lack of lesbian and bisexual entertainment news. Sarah Warn took it upon herself to create a website that focused on that exact topic and named it AfterEllen.com. Yup, the name does indeed refer to the coming out of Ellen DeGeneres.
What started as a small entertainment website grew into something much, much bigger and turned into a full time job. Something even Sarah Warn didn’t see coming.
“To my surprise, it turned into a full-time job, and then snowballed into the wonderful, messy, often inspiring, sometimes exasperating community of readers, writers, bloggers, and vloggers that it is today.”
// Sarah Warn – Passing The Torch
Now, after seven and a half years, Sarah Warn is ready to pass the torch over to someone else. As of Nov. 1 Karman Kregloe will take over as Editor-in-Chief. Though Sarah is handing over the controls, she will continue to be active on the site in the form of her monthly ‘Visibility Matters’ column, occasional blog posts and commenting on other articles along with the rest of us.
I know I am just one of many whom have thanked Sarah for her extraordinary work, but I wanted to say my piece. I’d say that most of the acceptance of myself came from belonging to the AfterEllen.com community. Reading the news, the advice in the forums and the heartfelt stories from other AE readers continue to make me feel like I am part of something special, even with how big this community has grown.
Thank you Sarah Warn.
Dairy related friday 5 this time.
What are your feelings about milk?
Milk is yum. I used to drink it a lot, but I’ve cut down on it a lot. Only use it in pancakes.
What are your feelings about cheese?
Cheese is GOD
What are your feelings about yogurt?
Depends on the product, most of it is yummy
How do you feel about soy milk?
Gross. ’nuff said
How far are you from the nearest cow?
I have no idea, but I think it is a 15 minute drive or so.
Well, this is going quite good. I just finished #40 on my 101 in 1001 list. This one was not that challenging, except that I almost forgot to post a comment four times, but I made it. I hope I can actually keep up with this.
Today was the day, I could finally upgrade to the stable release of WordPress 2.8. I went to my admin and clicked the button to automatically upgrade, and whoosh there it went.
And then it stopped.
I got nothing but blank pages, the so called white screen of death (similar to the blue screen of death as in NOTHING WORKS!). The site worked, but that was about it.
Then I went searching online for possible solutions and with a simple click I found one of them. Disabling all your plugins and then enabling them one by one to see who the culprit was.
Did that. and now everything seems to be in working order.
