March 03 Thought Process (trust me on this, it's mindblowing) Darn I never got around to trying on my wig today. I should do it in my room. Oh I don't have a mirror. Wait, yes I do, it's in a box. I'll have to put it on my computer desk. I wonder what Vampires in wigs look like. They don't show up in mirrors, so would that just be a floating wig. OH MY GOD it would! There would just be a floating wig in the reflection. How weird is that. I wonder how it would look... And this is usually what happens in the bathroom (the thought processes, not floating wigs in the mirror). Seriously. Because Facebook's "25 things about you" and Twitter have taught me there is nothing more strange and wonderful than peering into someone's thought process. I told you it would be mindblowing  February 21 Who needs a blog? I don't see the point of blogs anymore, from my "Windows Live" homepage people can see exactly what I'm thinking from my MSN Messenger tagline updates, if they want other musings they can head on over to my Twitter account. Blogs are out, and one-line updates are in. I might not completely give up on this one, I have actually signed into MSN two days in a row now, perhaps this means I'm back on regular use. Now that I've got rid of all the worthless scum that inhabited my contact list, there are people that are actually worth talking to. On the same subject, in case you haven't noticed, my current musing is MSN Messenger Etiquette: is there one? The one I always have a problem with is, if you're signing off do you say goodbye to someone you had a conversation with earlier, and you still have the window open just in case, but you haven't talked for a while? All answers on a postcard and send to Behind the Hot Water Pipe, Victoria Station, London. Thanks. January 17 No haterz plz Aha, I knew a blog title in your language would attract you internet-types, now you are forced to read in ENGLISH! I knew going back onto MSN Messenger was a really REALLY bad idea. Within the first 30 minutes of being signed on, I am contacted by someone who I deleted off my friends list years ago. They obviously still had me on theirs, this person I met through that plague known as World of Warcraft. He asked me for nude pics almost instantly after contacting me. He said "long time no see" I said "I never sign into MSN unless I have nothing better to do" He responded with "lol" I inquired why he responded with "lol" and he goes off on one. He starts spouting abuse at me for not making my meaning clear. My meaning! Despite telling him that I was unsure why he responded to my very first post with "lol", he said because it "sounded funny". Obviously after that he did not perceive any of my replies as funny. He has blocked me, and I have blocked him. I knew I should have blocked him when I deleted him all those years ago. So I am really here to ask if there are any non-haters/noob-trolls out there that might restore my faith in this modern contraption known as the Internet. That, or I really think we should petition for a certain colour to be reserved for sarcasm. I even offered to use sarcasm HTML coding for his convienience, but he was not convinced. Any kindness out there? < productplacement >Note: my current mood and this post has been mostly influenced by my current favourite browser game Forumwarz. Google it, sign up, play. I know you want to.< /productplacement > January 12 Eek shiny MSN has had yet another overhaul, and every time it gets even more shiny and rounded than before. In other words, even more like a Mac. Microsoft seem to like being behind the times, first they take the tabs from Firefox, that people have been using for years before Internet Explorer gets them. Now the Vista desktop is starting to look more like a Mac OS. Then again, Mac haven't been that amazing either, my brother's shiny new huge screened iMac has a right click! Something Mac said they would never do >_> I'm still a Windows user, Macs are not suited to my personal computing needs - I am not a graphical designer and while I am still perfectly able to blog and write stories on a Mac, there are just far more programs available for Windows, more importantly games. It's bad enough I'm waiting six months after the PC release of the Sims 3 to even attempt to put it on my machine, but having to wait another goodness knows how long for the Mac version to come out would be something of a disadvantage. But every time Windows Live gets a makeover, I come back and think how pretty and shiny it looks and I'm convinced that I will spend more time on my Windows Live profile. Now I know that usually lasts about a week, maybe less. I don't go on MSN messenger anymore because of people constantly trying to add me or talk to me. Most of the time, people I don't care much about talking to. So this time I will certainly say I'll make an attempt to sign into MSN messenger more often, but I can't make a promise. June 06 Windows Live Space PenisesWhile I have made it my policy here to add anyone that asks, meaning my friends total has now well surpassed 150. Only four of which have actually made any contact with me...or is it three?
But there is one thing I won't tolerate, and that tried to add me a few days ago.
Male genitalia.
In fact, any genitalia, any graphic nudity I will not allow on my friend's list. It makes me look bad, I do not want a penis on my friends list.
In fact, I may have to check my friends list now to check I haven't been duped into adding a penis.
It was disgusting, I'm not a huge fan of naked men, but I can't stomach it when it's sprung on me suddenly, they're so wrinkly and ugly...who would want their evolutionary setback (or if you're religious, your God(s)'s 'intelligent design' of "ooh look we need the human males to have genitals, oh look there's a bit of elbow skin and a chicken leg left over in the box") representing them on the web?
So either remove your penis from your picture, or start convincing everyone that penises are beautiful.
Or both.
Just don't show it to me. April 21 How to be alienated from an internet community in 1 easy step!Turn up.
There should be enough assholes on there to do the entire job for you!
In fact, this probably applies to most social situations, whether computer-based or not. April 14 When smiling got scary, and people for that matterI've just looked through a photo album of a classmate's campaign for votes as Sports Officer at our Union, then their subsequent trip to the Union club night...
It seems on every photo where people realise they are being photographed they put on this strange, wide smile. It got wider the more drunk they appeared throughout the night.
One particular smile scared me and mesmerised me to the point that it should be in a horror movie somewhere...
Perhaps it's because I'm not hounded by people with digital cameras every time I go out, or maybe the smiles scare me so much because everyone I go out with pouts like a London runway model every time their picture is taken. It's not sexy, ladies, you look like a fish.
On another note, some weirdo has left a guestbook comment (now deleted) and a blog comment (can't be deleted
 ) that are somewhat nasty. I don't know what this guy's problem is, he calls himself "the Englishman" and yet his Space is dedicated to reporting mostly bad news from the Far East. Now I know almost all Englishmen are bastards anyway, but true Englishmen know when to be gentlemen when the time calls for it, and contacting strangers is one of them.But without these people I wouldn't have any justification to hate the human race. Apart from cars, tarmac, overpopulation, unsustainable technology, wars, disease...and how they all whinge about it when it goes horribly wrong. April 08 Please, no messenger addsAs much as I enjoy welcoming my new friends, it only extends to this site. I do not appreciate randomers on my MSN Messenger list, more importantly I don't appreciate randomers messaging me. Talk to me on here first so I know we can at least have a half-decent conversation on MSN Messenger. There's nothing worse by being messaged live by someone you've never talked to before.
So feel free to leave comments and such, but please, ask before you message me on MSN.
I considered running this through Babel Fish for Turkish, Spanish, Italian and Japanese versions of my plea, but the result may make as much sense to the natives as it does to me. April 02 Drunk...but still (mildly) coherentI just wanted to report how glad I was that more females are adding me as friends. The males only add me to have another pretty face on their profile list (and this was me after a makeover by my friend Victoria). I don't mind if this is the intentions of the girls as well, I like seeing girls wanting to add me on their friends list
 And I've had a whole bottle of wine to drink (and there's more waiting!) and I get incredibly social while I'm intoxicated. So beware those with Spaces...
The 1895 book is going well, it's teaching me year 6 stuff about nouns, verbs and adjectives. Hopefully I will soon move onto the proper English of the 19th Century. April 01 Interesting newsWhilst looking for an online reason to not go to bed just yet I looked at some of the MSN blogs and found these interesting little facts. I am a fan of random miscellany, especially when it is funny. These are no exception: • The shortlist for the Oddest Book Title of the Year has been announced. The six titles are:
- How Green Were the Nazis? I must admit, I do want to buy How Green
Were the Nazis? and get The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America for
my dad for the next present-giving occasion...Christmas, I do believe. March 26 The friends list is growing!Now that I've come back and are updating and checking regularly, I seem to have attracted a lot of attention. Many people have added me to their friends list, and I wasn't going to discriminate and let anyone who asked on my friends list.
Welcome new friends  March 25 Start afreshSo, they've slightly changed how you organise your spaces, they've slightly changed how it's all done and as a consequence of this I have lost YEARS of rants. Every piece of creative inspiration that crossed my mind is all gone.
A piece of life I will never be able to re-visit...
Still, I think some of those posts were rather negative, and I had a very conflicted and confused self-image. Now that I'm happy, and more certain who I am (although I still abhor being pidgeon-holed) I can start a brand shiny new blog, hopefully ushered in by a new age of actually signing into MSN Messenger a lot more often.
I'm not looking to re-kindle old friendships by signing back on, even though two people who I had deleted from my list have contacted me today, I am starting a new chapter of life and I am meeting new people.
So bring on the rejuventated social life... |
