Blogging woes; MySpace tech problems
Current mood: frustrated
Category: Blogging

OY! I can't be the only one who has serious debilitating issues with blogging (or any kind of editing or messaging or typing) on MySpace! Yeshua Krishna Christ! WTF, mate?! I gotta go into blogging safe mode and enter the raw HTML manually. And then I get error messages like:

"An error has occurred. This has been forwarded to [...] technical [... blah]."

 AND

"[...] Illegitimate comments in the Subject field."

But I only type regular keyboard characters into any and all fields! I get similar flack when posting comments, sending messages, clipping my toenails, etc. I find myself frantically poking at the "Escape" key, trying to stop pages from loading, and then re-clicking on the previously-clicked hyperlink.

And have you ever had the harrowing experience of going to press [Ctrl] + [left arrow] to move the cursor back a word, but you brain-fart and accidentally hit  [Alt] + [left arrow], causing your browser goes back to the previous page? Thereby annihilating all your hard-won, irretrievable, transient ruminations? Yeah. I hate that, too. That's why I copy just about everything I type and paste it into Notepad or some other text editor, so that when MySpace inevitably eats an entry, I can cut and paste it right back. Suck on that, beeyatch! (And by "beeyatch" I mean MySpace, not you, dear [beeyatch] reader.)

And I don't know what to do with myself, don't know just what to do with mysel-el-elf.

One of those ubiquitous surveys, but about me this time.
Current mood: I really dunno! Not bad.

I got this survey as a bulletin from BCC CWG PREZ, and I figured, "Why not?"

1) How old do you wish you were?
Twenty-one seems like a good age (as if anything were ever actually wrong with a person's age! It's all in our heads!).

2) Where were you when 9/11 happened?
In bed, actually.

3) What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
Call the toll-free number and get my freakin' money back!

4) Do you consider yourself kind?
No (see question 5)!

5) When you see a homeless person on the side of the road, what do you think
"Can I swerve in time to hit him?"

6) If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be?
Only if forced would I get a tattoo -- and then only on the perineum (probably the least visible part of the body).

7) If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be?
Spanish, totally. Have you been to a construction site lately?

8)Do you know your neighbors?
Who?

9) What do you consider a vacation?
Well, there's the leaving-home-for-a-couple-o'days vacation and the whatever-is-fun-and-diverting vacation.

10) Do you check your horoscope?
Uck! No!

11) Would you move for the person you loved?
Uh, not for the person I loved.

12) Are you touchy feely?
Is that some kinda peacenik Frenchy talk?

13) Do you believe that opposites attract?
Duh! I'm gonna be a damn physicist!

14) What is your dream job?
Loafer?

15) What is your dream car?
A 4WD off-road sports limo that runs on fuzzy feelings & farts

16) What's your favorite channel?
Why, The English Channel, silly!

17) Favorite place to go on weekends?
I especially like to go to sleep.

18) Showers or Baths?
Showers or baths what? Frighten me? Yeah. Sure.

19) Do you paint your nails?
What? No! Why do that when I could just buy galvanized or stainless steel nails?

20) What do you like the most about yourself?
My luscious locks!

21) What do you like the least?
That weird birthmark on my ass that looks like a hammer and sickle ...

22)Do you trust people easily?
Well, there's a nominal degree of trust, yes, but I don't trust that people will be completely honest, etc., so no.

23) Do you live alone?
Mentally? Yeah.

24) What truly frightens you?
Truly? Failing, rejection, people sometimes. Nothing as tangible as bugs or snakes!

25) What are your pet peeves?
Let's see, I have two dogs, and I take care of my sister's anole (lizard) ...

26) Do you want kids?
Well, not now!

27) Do you keep a handwritten journal?
No. I did for a while, years ago. Perhaps I'm too lazy and scatterbrained now.

28) Where would you rather be right now?
Here -- I'm choosing to sit here and type this!

29) Who would you like to be more honest with?
Hmm ... nobody?

30) Who makes you feel guilty?
I do. I make myself feel guily. It's everyone's unconscious decision.

31) Are you a heavy or light sleeper?
Varied: light --> deep --> REM --> ...

32) Are you a good dancer?
Well, I'm not an evil dancer, but I ain't pretty to watch.

33) Are you paranoid?
Who wants to know?!

34) Are you impatient?
No. I think I'm a patient guy.

35) Who can you relate to?
I try to relate to everyone, but to answer the question's intent, probably nobody. And it's "whom," not "who!"

36) Would you ever have plastic surgery?
Yes, I would ever have plastic surgery ...

37) Would you ever break the law?
Hey, I'm a jaywalkin' fiend, man!

38) Do you believe in the afterlife?
Well, "believe" is such a strong word, right? I've thought a lot about it, but I doubt that my mind will exist, in the form you all know and love, after I die.
