Uh oh...
My Tumblr theme seems to have gone wonky, although I haven’t done anything to it.
Time to panic. OKAY I’M PANICING! (Panicking? Neither spelling looks right to me at the moment.)
Sneezing is an underrated pleasure. I can’t be the only one who loves a good, vigorous sneeze.
“Possibility Girl
Everyone thinks Possibility Girl is possibly a genius. Any...”
– a beautiful revolution: blog (via somethingmeaningful)
This pretty much sums up why I always pull back when I’m on the cusp of really kicking ass.
I'm on the iPhone
One of my photos has been incorporated into some iPhone app. Ironically, a) I don’t even like the iPhone (despite a rampant gadget fetish and Internet addiction), b) my old hard drive exploded and I don’t even have a copy of the photo that any iPhone user can now enjoy.

Yo! Having a new girlfriend is almost as exciting as having a new boyfriend. The perks include:
You can talk about anything you want and not have to worry if she “likes” you back or not.
You can talk about dudes
You can go out together and troll for dudes
You can play dress up
You don’t have to worry if she’s “the one”— no pressure!
YES! Girlz rule.

Picnik, when Photoshop is too much effort →
As a sometime hobbyist photographer, I love the raw power of Photoshop. But sometimes, I just need to make some little tweak and waiting 5 seconds for Photoshop to boot up is too much time (seriously).

Kurt Vonnegut: How to Write With Style →
cubicle17:
Why should you examine your writing style with the idea of improving it? Do so as a mark of respect for your readers, whatever you’re writing. If you scribble your thoughts any which way, your readers will surely feel that you care nothing about them. They will mark you down as an egomaniac or a chowderhead —- or, worse, they will stop reading you.
Vonnegut was a wise man and a...

People have some truly fascinating hobbies. This guy tracks seismic activity and predicts earthquakes.
Nokia N95 →
Forget the fanboys and their iPhone-powered boners. The N95 remains Prom King of my heart. It’s a shame it’s outrageously out of my budget, it fills my heart with lusty thoughts.

Getting over your ex ... or not.
juliaallison:
When do you stop wondering what if? Should you force yourself to stop? CAN you force yourself to stop?? (um, helpful tips are welcome!)
Julia Allison asks about how, when, if we get over our exes. Is there some miracle formula or landmark we can aim for or do we just keep telling ourselves it gets better, and hope we’re right?
When my first serious relationship ended I was...

My friends are behind this site. It seems to have stalled, I’m going to pretend that is due to my not participating in shaping it and leap in to help.
Need new tumblogs to follow
In my usual, cyclical Internet addicted nature, I’m back in love with Tumblr. As an ADD girl who works from home, relies on alt-tabbing while my brain does its thing, I need more tumblogs to follow so there is always some new, quick tidbit for me to devour while I arrange a sentence or the logical flow of an idea in my head.
Suggesions pretty please.

Deep, dark secret →
I play a lot of World of Warcraft. That isn’t the deep dark secret. I run a PvP (player versus player) guild. Also, not a secret. I get spat on in Shattrath, the neutral city inside which players of both factions may not engage in combat, because of my abuse of the other faction’s players. Again, no secret.
The awful truth is that while marauding around a virtual world, killing and...
Natur Combat Timers beta is here
Only a small group of geeks will be excited about this, but I am among them. The new beta of NaturCombatTimers was released today. Nothing I tried quite replaced it when it got borked by patch 2.4, you’d better believe I’m delighted.
Oh, and if you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, it’s a mod for World of Warcraft. Get geekier, sheesh.
Fact: Noxie needs a new job
I’ve been bored and unhappy with my work situation lately, so I sat down and examined the following list of facts:
Fact: I own 11 pairs of jeans, 15 tank tops, 2 hoodies that proudly (and accurately) proclaim “i pwn noobs” but I only own 2 suits
Fact: I do my best work while wearing fuzzy pink slippers
Fact: I hate early mornings, transit and traffic
Fact: I have been...
