I redesigned. So, uh...
It's not completely done, but this is the first time I've redesigned since the blog was reincarnated. Those of you who liked the old design better can still use it if you wish.
You like?

"Um, which makes it sound like I removed you from the list because I hate you, when in ACTUALITY I mean, I returned you to the list because I removed you formerly by accident and I was lying about the hating thing. Jesus hell."
-Fran [2002-06-27 14:44:58]
"Well, uh, I DON'T hate you, but I don't have a link list. I just show your picture to everyone, because you are my sunny little monkeybear."
-D* [2002-06-27 19:32:33]
"I like this new design of yours. I can see where I am and where I'm going. It all makes sense now. It's like the mall directory you've always wished for."

If you type your name and "is" into google, you get: [via Julie]
You know how artists will talk with you about how much they love this painter, or that sculptor? Or how this artist or that artist is such an inspiration to them, and how much they look up to them. How impressed they always are with their work. How that person's work pushes them to be better--constantly trying to reach that bar...
This hurts.

where you are is where I belong.
I do know: where you go
is where I wanna' be.
Where are you going?

Mostly for Jeff's enjoyment, I present the setlist from when Miti and I went to see Dave in April.

Amen.

As the time passes by, I sit and write
An end to the waiting is not in sight.
The clock sits there ticking, I rock in the chair
My sister's in the bathroom, doing her hair.
The windows are scraped, my teeth are brushed,
And my sister is careful not to be rushed.
Finally as I listen I hear a small squeak
After what seemed to be a year and a week.
The creature emerges, and walks across the floor,
Standing before me, looking just like before.
After waiting and trying to rush her along,
She comes out and says, "Been waiting long?"
"Oh, no," I said trying to be polite,
"Come on let's go we'll have to fly."
We jump in the car and race up the hill,
If it weren't 8:30, we'd be at home still.
I wrote this when I was... well, young. Like, grade school.

[And I never heard anything about mean... any mom who gets "Leo the Lop" for her kid is a great mom, in my book. It molded me into the sweet person I am today... ;)]"
-Nic [2002-06-21 16:41:00]
"Have you found your "Leo the Lop" book, Nicole? I've been searching every garage sale I go to for a copy for you!!!"
-The Mom [2002-06-22 16:21:21]
"Oh yes! I have mine in a box under my bed with my other children's books (like Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite), except I don't have my canvas bag! Thank you for looking though, because if I couldn't find it I'd miss it a lot."
-Nicole [2002-06-24 16:49:22]

Due to technical difficulties, I present the other half of this round's...
Blogger Insider: Tuesday's questions:
>1. Who is your favorite character on Scooby-Doo?
Velma. She was hot.
>2. What's the skinny on the busses? Does that go for all types of public transportation?
No, actually, I really like the subway. But I hate busses. I saw Jesus on the subway once. He had a white robe, purple sash, big wooden cross on his shoulder. Oh, and he wore New Balance tennis shoes.
>3. Have you ever shaved your head completely bald? Why?
No. I'm too skinny to have a bald head. I think people would think I'm a nazi.
>4. Which blog have you been reading the longest?
Jen Frickell
>5. When you sneeze, are you discreet about the whole affair, or is the National Guard called in to investigate?
Depends. If I'm in church, you hardly notice me. Otherwise I just have an average-size sneeze. My mom on the otherhand... (Heh, heh.) She never sneezes once. If she has to sneeze, she'll sneeze four or five times in a row--one after the other. To which I say, "Nuh?"
>6. Do you have nieces and/or nephews? How old are they?
No, thank goodness.
>7. When was the last time you royally embarrassed yourself in front of someone you were attracted to? What was the situation?
Tough call. I can't think of any right now. I don't often get royally embarassed, my life is a string of less severe, but quite frequent dork-attacks.
>7.5. If a girl totally embarrassed herself in front of you would you still go out with her?
Yeah. You know, if I were in the market.
>8. Do you play the lotto on a regular basis? What would be the first thing you would do if you won?
No, I don't. But Nic, Missy, Jeff and I would be in England by the end of the week.
>9. If war ever broke out on American soil, would you stay to fight or gather your family and head for the hills? What if you disagreed with America's reasons for fighting the war?
Damn. I think I liked blogger insider better when I was asked "why did you start your blog" for the third time. These questions are hard.
I'd have to say I'd stay and fight. I may not be in any hurry to join up at present, but I can say with relative confidence that if it showed up in my back yard, I'd be there as needed.
>10. Are you allergic to anything? What?
Manual labor.
>11. Carolina or Detroit?
Chicago.

kroh.net is somewhat different. We can't really tell what it is and how it works, but it's inspiring and very different. If you got some spare time, pay it a visit.
They said "different" twice. I guess that means I'm... different. What's even creepier is that on the front page I find that chad is quoted.

So, my Discs of Fury mix finally went out--three days late (the theme was "caffeine"). This just really wasn't a good time for me to be on deadlines. Hopefully next time will be better. If you're on my swap list, don't click the more link--everyone else can find a track listing there.
With a theme like "caffeine", I decided I could go one of two ways, either music that feels "caffeinated", or music that's meant to relax you (like, you've-had-too-much-of). And I didn't really know what to do with either, until Kate came up with an amazing idea: coffeehouse music. She said, "Just make a disc of stuff you'd expect to hear at a coffee house. Like, relaxing, obscure stuff. Stuff that has never been on the Billboard Hot 100."
And so, I present to you: Music you'd most likely hear at an espresso bar
I ran across this in someone's bookmarks today. Who'd'a thought? Princess Di, even.

"With the people i've talked to that have self-mutilated....it's never an intent to hurt themselves. It's just an effort to feel something.....anything. Some might say it's anger/hatred that's bottled up inside. Instead of taking it out on other people, they take it out on themselves. "

Another satisfied work story:
This lady comes in yesterday at about 4pm in a panic--she had a PageMaker document, and needed to have it done today. The paper size was wrong, the graphic links were broken, and the font links were broken. I swear this woman was nearly crying.
So I imported it into InDesign & fixed the page size, converted the graphics & fixed the links, replaced the fonts & added a stylesheet, and stayed late to make sure they printed and were ready in time for the Sendit conference today.
A few minutes ago she came in with Vanilla Cokes and pizzas for lunch.
Thank you, Mrs. Berg.
And sometimes, we think about how bad our lives are... then there's Brittany.

"Ouch. Poor baby. "
-D* [2002-06-03 18:20:10]
"....what a horrible thing to happen to that poor girl...."
-Your Mom [2002-06-03 20:25:24]
"I don't know if they could have fixed Brittany's underlying emotional and social problems that allowed this sort of thing to happen to her -- but I think she needed those high school years, child prodigy or not, to gain the battle experience that comes with dealing with jerks and asses on a daily basis. Smart as a whip, but too young and too insecure. It's sad."

Most of you that know me well know that I have a laugh. Not really a laugh, per se, but more like... a sound I make when I'm mildly amused at something. (My dad has the exact same sound for the exact same purpose, by the way.) Everyone comments on it, and for some reason, the comment is always in positive reaction. Just now, co-worker Ty referred to it as "frickin' awesome," and wanted to record it so he could use it as a default windows alert sound.
And I wonder, did I learn this from my dad, like I learned many of my other OCD-like habits, or is it some sort of genetically passed humor reaction, like how Mulder likes sunflower seeds.
Genetically liking sunflower seeds. That's mildly amusing.
Heh.
