Now that i've delurkified myself i've noticed a problem here. From the point of view of you all (by this i mean the people i read often, i'm not going to claim i read everything here) i must appear a stranger. Yet from my point of view i know many of you (or at least the face you wear in your blogs, if there is a difference). Lurking was easy, no one knew me, or even knew of my existence. Yet now i feel as if i should comment on peoples blogs that i read, since i am no longer unknown. Ye...
I declare the Terms of Service no longer valid on my blog (at least until an admin yells at me ). And will therefore write my own. Unless otherwise stated, all ideas/thoughts/whatnot I write are my own. I will note those that aren't, but when I mess up (which I will, being human) correct first, then yell. I state my opinion, and mine alone, I have no right to state anothers. You are welcome to agree, disagree, rant, rave, ignore, whatever, that's your choice and your opinion. Since you...

I'm a rather shy person (or at least I think I am), and I'm generally more comfortable quietly commenting then jumping in front of a group. When in groups in real life I rarely say anything, unless I have to. Always dancing along the edge of things, thats me. Having said that, I've over a dozen articles here. But when I first post them I wait for someone else to post more, so mine don't stay on the top of the most recent articles pile. I feel a little better once I'm hidden under someo...
Wisefawn... I can't say that I agree with everything you've written, or any of it even (which is besides the point). But you have been speaking your mind, and havn't let anyone stop you (or so it seems from my vantage point). And for that bravery alone I think you should be applauded. Either way, should you stay or go, I wish you well. I would have put this as a comment in your blog, but you disabled commenting. Your blog, your choice.
So i was thinking (potentially dangerous, i know) would it be possible to get a negative score/points/whatever you want to call it. As i understand it people declaring a comment of mine as trolling gets me negative points, so in theory, enough people telling me how bad my comments are would get me a negative total. Mind you, it will take lots of people to manage that one, but incredible fewer people for me then if say Draginol, were to attempt the same. So here's what i'm going...
Ok, this doesn't make sense, someone explain this to me: Blogs have points, users have points, this is good. Blog points appear to be a total for only the past 30 days, anything before that isn't used for the total and only shows up when people ask the blog nicely. In other words, only the blogs that are good (popular, read, whatever) recently will have points. The ones that are bad (unpopular, unread, wha...
It's been a few days since I've written anything. I tried Anarchy Online for a day or two, it was so so. iamheather joined me for a little while but then turned that around and set me up with a Star Wars Galaxies account. So I've been playing that with her and d3adz0mbie. So far it's a nice game, but it has it's frustrating parts as well. And it keeps me busy and distracted from blogging, bad game. But this isn't a blog about games.  ...
More ramblings... My Asheron's Call overview made it to the featured page?! Brad (the allmighty Draginol) took time out of his busy schedule and not only read it, but decided he liked it enough to stick it on the front page! I am incredibly flattered. When I wrote that article it was for a special purpose, and I felt it filled that purpose well. And in doing so, I'm not surprised it only has two comment...

So it's been a few days since my last blog (which I felt was a bit weak but thats besides the point) and I'm thinking I should write another (and have had a few people hint that to me as well). I have various ideas, yet none of them are formed enough to share. So instead I'm going to try something different and ramble on about whatever I happen to ramble on about. I've been worried about Texas Wahine lately...
Here's some insight into how I go about writting the stuff I write, for any of you that might be interested. For me there are two types of blogs: the thought out ahead of time ones, and the reaction/spure of the moment kind. The thought out ones tend to get written a day (or more) before they get posted. I'll write out my thoughts/feelings on whatever the topic is, save them to a text files and post them wh...
The past few days I've been noticing something rather odd when visiting a few peoples blogs. Put simply, I get too much information. When I go to my own blog I get an extra strip called Page Views. It contains a bunch of numbers that I'm assuming are connected to the number of times said article has been viewed (seems obvious, but it could be a diversionary tactic on stardocks part). Along with this strip ...
Today I decided to change my blogs name. It was BWAT (Blog Without A Title), but I felt that was too close to BlueDev's A blog without a cause. Not that there is anything wrong with that, or that anyone had complained, but I wanted something more original. Not that originality is my strong point or anything. That and BWAT was almost sounding like a bad word to me. I'm pretty sure it isn't, but it almost sounded like one, and it is four letter so ...
My family left for a week or so last friday, leaving me at home with the menagerie. That's all good, but where it gets odd is that my mom told me to eat the jello. Which is fine, I like jello. But I've been having some difficulty handling the task. We had about a dozen boxes of jello when they left. Putting the two cranberry ones back in the cupboard (because I don't like cranberries) that left me plenty ...
