Its pretending to storm here! Some thunder and lightning and sprinkles, but no rain. Disappointed!
I've been lurking alot lately. So many newcomers and my bff is just full. Its hot here and dull and I haven't felt like I've had much to say. I have commented some. To my flist, I've read everything, just don't have a damn thing to say to much of anyone. Life is as usual. Just when I start to get ahead, I fall backwards. Anyway:
Hello All and Good Posting!

Drahma
I think I like drama. I like it as long as it doesn't involve me, which is very selfish. I love storms. Thunder and otherwise, as long as I'm only an observer. Does this make me one of those people who enjoy disasters? I would have to say yes. And yet, most disasters involve real people losing real people. That makes me feel like I'm a bad person.
Over at LJ, there seems to be several kinds of posters. The social, I love whoever and what's he doing kind, the following a specific TV show or movie site. These are light postings about general trivial things.
Then there are the fannish people, which I don't get into at all.
Then there are the activists. The people who find a cause and drill it into the ground. In the sixties, they would have been out on the college campuses protesting. Twenty-First century protesters-meet the web!
I liked LJ, but have never really felt comfortable with the people who's posts I watch. I have never felt entirely welcomed. And yet there are really interesting cool people there. I guess I have always felt like I wasn't interesting enough.
When I first came to InsaneJournal there was literally nothing happening. No one seemed to be around. I described it as a Wild West Ghost Town. Lots of people seemed to have been here, but they were all gone now.
Then boom, LJ does the Strikethrough and suddenly the place comes alive. And it seems to me that we are all an eclectic bunch and that seems to make it easier to friend and comment. After all if everybody doesn't belong anywhere else then we can all belong here together.
Now there are more coming. Its like the old gold rush days. It runs out and then a new vein of gold is found!
LJ is going through some tough stuff. The 6A people bought something they didn't understand. They seem to have thought that they could combine their money-making schemes with the blogging site. Combine the two and put them together and make some money. Trouble is, that's not what people were using LJ for and that's not what they want to use it for. For that they can go to myspace or facebook or friendster. They saw and see LJ as something very different and they need to stop and really get to know their site. Explore it and come to know it and the people on it. Cuz its a crazy wild place when you actually go deep inside and spend some time. If they don't figure it out or they are just too afraid of the legal hassles then they are going to have to sell it! Otherwise they'll just destroy it.
And then there's IJ!
OK, I'm done!

tiredMystery Solved!
Over the past few days I posted twice about not being able to get into IJ. Turns out if I'd thought about it I could have figured it out. LJ Stikeout = Blackout! I have been reading and posting all about it, but until Squeaky's post about the influx of new users, I didn't put it together. imatwit! Anyway, welcome all!

Where to read about the LJ Blackout(Strikethrough)
Ganked and yanked- LJ deletes without notice:
As other, more recent entries in the community explain, however, non-photographic content involving minors in sexual situations which does not contain serious artistic or literary merit is likely in violation of Federal obscenity laws, and is content LiveJournal has chosen not to host.
The real problem is: Who decides what is artistic or literary merit. That's really the rub, isn't it? Who gets to be the thought police and what are their criteria, eh? Cuz they(lj) don't seem to be tellin!

OK you know how you wait for the bottom to fall out, nothing will work out, everything is shit, sort of stuff? I am a pessimist. I am depressed and depressing.
Here's the thing. I got approved to get a car, but there are catches and I live in a small town(city? 14000). Anyway, I get $11,000. I have to get a car that is five years or younger, 60,000 miles or less and I have to have enough left over to cover the sales tax and tags.
Pessimist says: How does this work? Can I spend $9000.00 and still have it work out to pay the taxes and tags and the insurance which will be raised because of the accident. Every car that I think is in my price range gets snapped up and isn't owning a car and making payments and paying insurance too much of a hassle and a financial burden?
My sister is taking me to work and places and she say she doesn't mind and I babysit her autistic son all the time so she can get out and do things-Sooooo! But, this is hard on her car and if anything happens to her car we're all fucked(pardon my french)!
I HATE shopping of all kinds and buying a car is out of my depth!
I loathe being such a downer. I feel out of control and out of my depth and I hate that. And my sister, who is always an optimist-I think I even depressed her.
Fuck/Fuck/Fuck!
So here I am and I feel shitty and drained and down. It was so much easier to stay up when it was all in doubt and I didn't know that I'd have any money for a car! I want to bail. I feel a responsibility to get a car and hold things together and I am so pissy about it all.
OK, rant over!

| What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Literature Nerd
Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. |

That Darned Cat
My car is totaled. I don't know what that is going to mean, but I'm assuming the worst and that I may be on foot for a long time! Depressed now! and my sister(the one who totaled it) is now afraid I or our mother may kill her. We won't. The damage is done. But, its still depressing!

Nothing much
I prefer to read other people's writing. It always seems more clever and interesting, even when it just simple stuff. I read and sometimes comment.
Chris Benoit is dead. You may not know who he is. He was(I wanted to say is) a pro wrestler. It is sad. Rumor is that he killed his wife and 7 year old son and then himself. I would never have thought he would do something like that, but then I didn't know him so who knows.
All I do know is that I think it is terrible, monstrous of a man to take a woman's and their children's lives. I truly believe they should either let go or just kill themselves and let everyone else alone.
But then murder-suicide is a very self-centered selfish act!
I'm afraid I think men are pigs!

too old to get it?
Can anyone explain MySpace to me? I have one but I just don't get it, or am I just too old? I don't understand what's supposed to be so great about myspace. I go over there and I just don't see the point! It's not like IJ or LJ. You don't have a community of people who watch or comment to each other. I can never find anything over there. I just don't get it. I don't get it! I don't get it! I don't get it!!!
And I'd just like to say that I think Cooliris is one of the greatest inventions for the web ever! At least on Firefox. Which is great too. Especially if you have dialup!
