soon i want to start
redoing my ana2 sign up page to make it A LOT more personable! and it is so
hard for me to describe what ana2 is. i want to have a section that has testimonials
as to how much love ana2 and why and why u stay, etc!
( ya, of course i would only put the positive ones ! hehe :)
i think the ana2 sign up page right now does not reflect what ana2 is!
i already saved moby's testimonial..and i think i have a few more saved somewhere on my harddrive. but if anyone would like to write what ana2 means to u , and what u get out of it..i would be much obliged!
and if any one has any suggestions about how to make the sign up page better, please let me know. i highly valu your opinions! :)
and it'd be cool if any of u expressed any reservations about joining, but then were pleasantly surprised by what was in here.
'cause i don't think that having no money is the main reason people don't join, i think it's 'cause they'd feel like a pervert if they joined ( and also because a lot of people watch me at work...and don't want 2 get in trouble :)
email me at anacam@camgirl7.com
if u have any questions, or any testimonials!
also, please let me know if u are happy with the features now. and what u
would love to see here in the future :) i would love tp know how u feel about
everything, and what u would like to see in the future :)

it's almost 6am. was
up all night again!
and zachary is coming over 2 my house at 1pm.
i'm gonna be so discombobulated (sp?)
i made it so u can switch around on the remotes!
it took me forever 2 figure out
plus i redid all the links on all the cam pages so u can get around faster.
the only thing i can't get right is when u go to the streaming cam, and click on the links for the cams...it opens up the remote to be SUPER HUGE!
if had an ounce more of energy i'd try to figure out how to stop that. but my ounce has vanished
so, i'm off to the bed, i am too tired to drag the laptop into the bedroom and i don't want to wake up jason with a bunch of cords crashing all around him, 'cause he only sleeps for one more hour anyway...and let it be a peaceful hour :)
but i'll be up at noon
my god. it seems like
i did more than just make a billion links...but maybe that was it.
oh, and fixing links that were wrong
and i put the no frills menu over on anacam, too
and...just tidying up stuff all over. tons of little things. i redesigned cams 2 and 2 so they will fit a BIT better on a smaller computer and it now fits with the pink random word things that were before just kind of sitting on top looking awkward
the cam has been on deiter all night 'cause he is making the goofiest contortions with his body while he's sleeping. i wish i was as small as he is so i could go curl up beside him, upside down like that :)
gonna go brush my teeth
now
and take some aspirin
and fall into the bed

In Reply to: Re: taking
pictures outside posted by scottks on March 05, 2000 at 21:01:34:
but u can't see right then and there a still picture..u have 2 wait until
u get home and see what's there and then u choose. when i do them, they are
the finished product right then and there. boom ( i'm impatient :)
that's what i love about the webcam, it's instant, spontaneous..it capture's
whatever i want right then and there..no more tomfoolery.
altho i do want a digital cam very much. VERY.
with the laptop, i am always looking at the world through a square. and i
see the world in fluid motion in that square. then that's when i get inspired...when
something interesting starts happening in the square. it's not like a camera
where i look at a building and wonder if i could take a cool picture of a
certain thing. life happens in the square then i get inspired by that and
then i start fooling around with it.
and i can set it down and point it at me and see myself from far away.
it's really hard to explain..i didn't know it was this hard to explain!
i was just talking
2 jason the other day about this, because i was wondering why it never appeals
to me much to take a normal camera around and take pictures of stuff. it just
rarely ever appeals to me. i just love the motion in the square...then taking
snippets of it. and that it's a finished product right then..and i put it
out to the entire earth to several thousand people..right away.
then..boom..the moment is gone and i move onto other things
i can't get more immmediate than that. instant gratification along with instant
communication worldwide. it's so cool! it's so simple ( sort of )
i don't know if that explains it

ohmigod i am just speechless from the compliments!
i...i...i.. :)
u...u YOU
yes!
thank u!
everyone's love back
at me like this is by far more than enough.
that i get to do such fun things for my "JOB" is THEE coolest thing
ever. i am infinitely blessed!
why do i even ever
complain about life?
i have it so good it's stupid!
u all make me feel so loved and it is...just the best feeling i cannot describe :)
this must be the feeling
that bands get when they play live and put on a good show and everyone loves
them...which i only got to experience fleetingly because playing live, for
me, was such a hugely draining anxiety ridden drunk fest!
( which i do kind of miss sometimes :)
i just hope now that everyone won't be sad when my next anagram will be "ordinary" :)
thank uuuuuuuuuuuuu :)
it's so funny that
u were trying 2 stay up...i wish sometimes i could see everyone at their computers
watching me....what kind of weird perspective would that be? one can only
imagine!
( and sometimes ignorance is bliss :)
i'm eating cold frencxh fries and listening 2 the daily show in the background and pooka and deiter are playing nad making sounds that dinasaurs would make..if they were tiny, with smushed noses and fur :)
i wish i could make a mold of pooka's nose and deiter's nose!
-------
side note so i don't forget:
things bought today:
one dozen eggs
one 12 pack of diet 7up
2 things of beef jerky
it came to 8 dollars, the girl forgot 2 give me my receipt :/
zachary gave me my
1099 from him.
get this:
22,354.77
wow!
please god let all my receipts= 22,000!
or else i will faint!

Posted by ANA on March 06, 2000 at 13:27:12:
thank u for your compliments
on part 1 of my anagram :)
i think it might be my favourite , too! :)
i was so happy to make it! and then when i woke up ( right now at noon ) i
rushed here 2 see if anyone had said anything about it, and u DID! weeee :)
yayayayay! :)
i think it's cool how i come up with the stories after i have the pictures.
i love doing that :)
like the bear spirit guide story :)
i found an electric socket in that parking ramp right after i ran out of batteries
( but i didn't bring the plug in with me )
so, hopefully when i go back there, that electric socket will actually work
and i can stay in their much longer 'cause i want to take more pictures there.
i wish my house looked
like that and was that big!
i want a huge warehouse space sooooo muchhhhhh.
i have 2 go wake up somehow now. i am so tired. my eyes want 2 close. i was up so late making that anagram and stuff. i've been wearing that sadist shirt for days now. and NO it does not stink , yet :)
azura...i got that
shirt from bill sullivan who owns the 400 bar. he gave it to me years ago
when we were sort of dating in a way. he got it from a friend who made them.
i wish i knew where to get more.
so if ever u go to the 400 bar and ask if bill sullivan is there, tell him
that rachael ( me ) told u to ask him where did he get that adidas/sadist
black hooded long sleeved t shirt he gave me. then he'd remember. ( he knows
my name is ana, but he still calls me rachael )
:)
ok, gonna go brush my teeth

i wish i had
the energy 2 type u out everything that happened and everything that is happening
now. but it'll have 2 wait 'cause i just need some time to be quiet and not
worry about doing anything or explaining anything. austin was very fun, but
i am drained from it 'cause it was just too MUCH fun. and altho the people
around me were very cool and i had a lot of great conversations, i really
just prefer 2 be alone...'cause it takes sooooo much energy out of me. at
least meeting that many people a day. i like to take in one new person a month
:) i prefer to really get to know a thing deeply, than learn about a bunch
of things not as deeply. in all honesty, what i wanted to do while i was there
was just to lay on the grass in devota's great yard. but i didn't because
the pressure was on that i should do do do and meet meet meet and see see
see. so i did did did. but now i must clean my house and organize. i just
want things to be clean and quiet. and as much as i was missing my dogs (
and jason ) SO much, i don't even have the energy for them right now!
so i will probably be ignoring the cam for a few days 'cause i just need to
not concentrate on anything except just centering myself.
so here are
the pictures from the time i was there and some pictures from before i left
and when i came back.
they aren't in a really great order. i wish i could've explained them better...what
was going on in the pictures. i didn't get too many cool pictures when i was
in texas becaise 1) devota didn't want her or anythig of her on the cam. 2)
if i wasn't at devota's house i was at a very crowded party with no electric
outlets and i didn't want to drag the heavy thing around with me 'cause i
had too much to deal with as it was. plus, u never know who is gonna freak
out that i'm taking pictures of them
i didn't make
it to any panels except my own. i LOVED janie who drove me around and she
showed me some VERY cool things....one of them being this place:
http://www.momoko-gifts.com
holy cow...i am REALLY obessessed with "tare panda" i think it means lazy panda...but i prefer to call him "relaxed panada" or "content panda" god, i love it and i want EVERYTHING that has this panda on it. it is SO cute and SO surreal! it rolls arouns at 2.7 kilometers an hour. what on EARTH that means i don't know. but that's what it does. plus it stacks otherrs of it's kind on top of itself like plates. plus it is small and can fit in a tea cup. what on EARTH? i AM the panda. what a great thing.
i've discovered that i am missing the cord that connects my scanner to my computer. so i can't scan anything and i don't know what the dang thing looks like! so how do i go find it in the thing room???
jaosn is gone until friday. he comes home about 7pm friday night. i thought it's feel weird to have him gone. but it just feels like he is at work. which he is. in texas learning java. weird we were both in texas. but he is in dallas and i was in austin.
more later....look under the bed for the posts i made while i was in austin. i can't even cut and paste! overload.
i have more pictures, they are still on my harddrive on my laptop
--------
hours pass....
i can't even get connected to ana2 to ftp this up. i know u cant get in either. sorry. i don't know what's up.
i can't find the tori cd that i need 2 hear
i need to get outside to go get food 'cause all i have is saltines and some kippers and vanilla soy milk. i am so overloaded and distraught. i try to get ready to go outside, but then i keep crying while i try. now my face is puffy and i look ugly and i don't want people outside to see me like this. fuck.
i need to go get jason's drycleaning and pick up the mail to see if there is a check in there for jason that he needs. he is overloaded ,too.
but i can't i just can't i need someone to take care of me and to balance my check book and vacuum the rug.
jason can't take care of me cause he is overloaded too. i can't call my mom 'cause i don't want to take any of her energy 'cause she needs energy too, from me. she needs me to work on our relationship. i can't work on that. i just need to be around people who just love me and don't need anythng and don't need an explanation. acceptance.
and i need my house to be clean. i'm trying to compose myself just to go get some freaking food. but i just want to lay on the floor and cry.
and the dogs need love too. i just have nothing to give. i am spent. i can't take it.
the government is now sending me things that say i better pay them for past taxes or they are gonna take my stuff. they say they are now contacting other people to gain info on me so they can take my money. i would call them up and get on a payment plan if i could deal with it. but i can't. i want to go live in my closet for a few days. i need to be enclosed in a cocoon. the sun is going down. i need the sky. i need the ground. i need some fresh fruit. i need someone to pat me on the head and tell me everything will be ok. i am so sad.
i need to get out and get food. pull myself together. then come home and wrap myself in blankets and watch a friggin romantic comedy. sigh oh sigh oh sigh
i have songs in me that i want to record. but they are all angry or sad. i do not want to record another angry or sad record. augh.

here are posts
i've made when i was in texas and up until today.
i watched movies today. boxing helena and this documentary about barbershop
quartets that was so marvelous it brough tears to my eyes. i'm weird like
that. if people get 4 part harmonies down...i get goosebumps. i also cry when
i watch the drum and bugle corps competions because when everyone is in sunc
like that it triggers such joy in me and goosebumps! i love barbershop quartets..i
love that old music like the andrew sisters. it's so melty and full, like
a perfect hot fudge sundae 2 eat in a warm old fashioned kitchen with all
the comforts like mom and homemade potholders and warn iron kettles filled
with soup and tea kettles whistling and a cat curled up in a corner purring.
and the guys singing in the quartets were so happy, it was so wonderful to
watch! it's so nerdy and so white, but by god i love it like i love toast
with peanut butter and honey!
and thank u fade for the hello kitty candy!
ah,, my back
is in little knots. and it's cold in here, so i'm wearing my GREAT russian
fur hat that cyka from cykakam sent me!
the tag inside is in russian ( duh ) , it's so damn cool!
i've been bad with keeping up balancing my checkbook when i was in texas.
i just HAVE 2 write stuff down as i buy it on not wait for later! so here
i s an account of what i've bought in the last few weeks. hopefully i'm remembering
everything on not leaving stuff out!
dayton's ( a department store ):
3 pairs of
pantyhose for 24.00
one grey dress for 99.00 ( 2 wear on my panel, but i never did wear it that
day )
one long black dress: 119.00 ( 2 wear at the sxsw awards)
clinique ivory concealer and some cleanser made especially for getting make
up off and stopping zits: 29.96
a pair of boots and two purses: 101.19
2 velvet shawls: 144.45
the little
store:
food and dry cleaning: 40.28
liquor store:
2 bottles of wine: 17.50
the little
store:
food: 15.41
momoko ( this fantastic place in austin www.momoko-gifts.com ):
cute stickers: 47.28
david's food
in texas:
2 bags of pretzels and a case of diet coke: 6.06
taco cabana in texas: 8.92
mail boxes, etc:
to send my awartds home , since i couldn't carry them on the plane: 60.12
and then i know i bought two pichers of yummy dark bear from this brewery for 11.00 bucks a piece
and i know i'm forgetting other stuff.
the little
store keeps forgetting to give me itemized receipts. they always used to do
it automatically. now i have 2 ask...so i don't exactly remember what i've
got there...but it's stuff like eggs and milk and apples and diet 7up
the dry cleaning was for jason's suits. i don't even know how much it was!
i haven't bought a new dress in ages. so it was cool to be able to wear a dress that didn't have a hole in it 'cause all my dresses are vintage and they are falling apart because they are so old. but i love them :)
i am still just low energy. so , i don't have too much of anything to say. which is a good thing. 'cause if i had a bunch 2 say, i wouldn't have the energy 2 type it out!
i am still recharging my batteries!
so that' s that and here are the posts from the last week :
Posted by ANA on March 12, 2000 at 15:54:29:
as u know, i won best
webcam and people's choice award! so thank u everyone who voted 4 me u KICK
ASS! and i will think of doing something special with my cam as i way 2 properly
thank u!!!!!! OHMIGOD HJOW COOL! :)))) i have the kindest fans in the world!
{{{{{{{{{EVERYONE}}}}}}}}}}}}
i got into austin about 4:30pm. my plane was late 'cause they had 2 de-ice
it in memphis, TN, where i had 2 switch planes. it was a 5 hour plane ride
all in all and i was so exhausted from it. but get this....SOMEHOW when i
got my seating arrangement 4 my plane from memphis 2 austin, i got to be in
1st class!!!
ran ran ran to catch my 2nd plane in memphis and got there in the nick of
time and was about the last one 2 board...and i hadn't gotten my seating assigned
2 me yet...so they gu crabbily handed me my ticket. and i said 2 him "
oh , can i have a window seat?" and he looks lat my ticket really cranky
without ever looking at me " it is a window seat, so your in luck."
so i get in the plane and i look at where my seat is and it says i get seat
03d. an d isn't a window seat...but i'm thinking that zero CAN'T REALLY be
a zero, so i ask the attendant.."where is this seat?" and she says
"row three" ROW THREE! so i'm in first class! and someguy is seating
in my d seat, but the next seat to him, that is empty is a window seat! so
i got to sit by the window after all and in first class!
and in 1st class they give u free wine! :) kick ass :)
so i got off the plane
in better spirits. but i was so hyper and nervous and talked the poor girl
that had come to pick me up at the airport and bring me to the woman i'm staying
with's house. her name is janie and she is as cute as a button with her purplish
red hair :)
and then i have my crazy new hair, too..so we ewre like 2 peas in a pod. and
she had rare radiohead tracks playing in her car, so that was a bonus, too.
so i got to the women
i'm staying with's house. her name is devota. very cool name. it is a family
name...her mother had that name and her grandma did , too.
so i got t devot'as house at 5...and the awards started at 6!!!!! ( o so we
thought, they actually started at 7 )
so i was freaking and trying 2 iron on this REALLY FAB dress i bought for
the occasionan and i was beyond starving 'cause all i had eaten was 1/2 of
a tucky turkey sandwhich i had on the plane. so devota had these yummy sesame
noodles and chicken tamales (sp?) so i inhaled those as i got my high heeled
shoes on and glued red rhinestones on my face 2 match my hair :)
and i have this gorgeous gre velvet shawl with fringe i wore , too...instead of a coat. but i battled with the shawl all night long...not knowing what on earth 2 do with it it ket sliding off me, so after awhile i just gave up and threw it down. actually, at the moment i took it off me and threw it on the floor was when i was giving my acceptance speech ( if u could call what i was saying an acceptance speech...i was more like a cross between woody allen and jennifer tilly stuck in a hyper girl's body). i was like, " and this shawl is just NOT working!" and threw it on the ground.
my speeches were pretty
goofy and i was a total spaz, as usual :)
and getting the people's choice one was soooo cool :) i will take pictures
of these awards later. especially when i get home so i can take pix with a
better camera. they are very pretty . they are glass with marble bases..and
the are cut all jaggedy and are heavy and will make VERY good weapons :)
after all that i just
hung out in the room that the awards had been and had beer and talked to many
interesting people. one of the people i met was the guy who made that beautiful
anapicfrom long ago where it is very light blue and i have delicate wings
on. u can see it by going to the anapix archive and it's on the first page
of anapic archive faves.
he was wearing a fab red feather boa and is starting a company called deapleap.com
also some guy who works for the city of austin asked me to dance, as there
was a live band playing this countrish music in there. so this guy showed
me how to do this two-step dance. after i got the hang of it , it was very
fun to do!
then i left with devota and we wen to come discoy club, but we decided 2 leav
and go to the place that deapleap was having their thing. it was at a club
called b sides. and so i sat in a booth and just talked to man interesting
people. then finally it was getting very late, and i was superrrrrr tired
and hungry and so was devota. so we went through a drive through mexican place
and ordered big sloppy burritos.
so we inhaled those then went straight to sleep.
so i got to sleep finslly, i think around 3 or 4 am.
and devota had 2 go back 2 the conventiion around noon, but i was still comatose.
so i slept until 2pm and now it's almost three and i gotta try to figure out
how t get back to the convention center soon 'cause i wanna check out a few
panels.
to my great dismay, but not surprisingly, at the awards ceremony i could not get connected with my computr 'cause the walla are too thick in there in order for me to get a good signal. so during the awards, as i battled my shawl and also my computer, i finally gave up, and i might have one semi interesting picture from it on my harddrive. but i couldn't really get my cam at a good angle even t take any pictures from where i was sitting.
hopefully i'll have better luck today when i go there again. who knows!
i'm typing this from
devota's computer. it's a quarter tp three and at 3:30pm there is a panel
i want 2 see about people who put their diaries online, so i want to go to
that but don't know if i'll make it 'cause
1) i have 2 get dressed
2) i have 2 figure out how on earth 2 get there!
it is so strange to be sitting , all alone, in a house that is not mine! she is certainly so very kind and generous! and it's suny outside. i kinda feel like just going and fiding some grass to lay on and just laying there! because i just NEED that. so maybe i'll do that instead! i mean, i have two more days to go to panels after today. one day of laying on the grass would be pretty damn cool.
oo, a cat just came into my room. his name is ernie :)
and i a keeping an eye on my dogs via cams 1 and 4 on ana2 .com :) this time i out too cams on them from two angles so i'd be sure to keep a good eye on them! but of course, it seems they have found the one small corner i cannot see! but i see half of deiter's head as he is laying on the giant stuffed turtle/pillow :)
i think that's all i have 2 say right now...tho it seems i'm leaving a lot out....but if i think of it i'll write it later 2 u :)
i hope i'll be able 2 get connected more when i leave the house...and if i get connected , i hope i can get some semi nice pix. it's always so hard 2 do cool pix with my cam whenever i go to things like this, 'cause i end up talking 2 so many people that i then ignore my cam. so if that happens again, you'll know why!
again, THANK U SO MUCH
FOR VOTING FOR ME!!!!
so just out of curiousity, what would u like me to do 4 u special with the
cam when i get home? :)

:))
hmmm, i had something more in mind like painting myself blue then lighting
myself on fire :)
maybe u could come over and i will paint both of U blue, then light u both
on fire while i eat poptarts :)
or maybe we should all be blue and light blueberry poptarts on fire :)
eek, i just discovered
that ernie the cat just took a big pee on my hellokitty bag! uck! thank god
it's a mostly plastic bag and there was nothing the bag!!!! so i just washed
that off. ick.
i guess i will not be making friends with the cats here. and the other one,
which is black and i forgot his name...won't even come near me.
i just read the stuff about what's happening today in the booklet thing.and all the panels stop at 5:30 and it's 3:30 now...so guess i give up on trying 2 go there today. so what i'm gonna do is just go drink some coffee and sit in devota's yard and take in the nice weather here and take some nice pictures :)
i'm sure there is probably some party or something tonight that i'll go too.
lemme see, what else...oh ya, after the awards ceremony all these reporters wanted to talk to me and lots had video cam s and wanted me to say stuff. but the room had that loud country band, so i told them all to just wait until i made it into the hall where it would be somewhat more quiet. but i didn't make it into the hall for quite awhile so when i got there only one guy got me speaking extremely fast and unintelligible.
ok...i am starting to stare now, whih means i need more coffee and i need to get outside before the sun goes down...
so bye 4 now :)
ill see if i can get my cam to work outside

this is part of an
email i sent 2 jason just now...
i went 2 a party with devota put on by frogdesign.com
so this is a partial account of that:
i was supposedly at the party of parties tonight. it was pretty stupid and
also pretty cool and nerdy guys keep wanting 2 talk 2 me. some are nice nerdy
and some are just nerdy.
it was a part thrown by www.frogdesign.com
there was a line around the block.
the thing that was cool about this party tho was that they hired this guy
called "the enigma" who is tattooed from head 2 toe in blue puzzle
pieces. so he look like a human blue puzzle and i know about him from reading
the REsearch book called "modern primitives" and also from bme.freeq.com
he has horns but the kind that are inside your skin and are like nubs than
horns and he told me that they weren't worth the hassle. and he is married
to a woman named "katzen" who is part of his act, too who is totally
tattooed head to toe like a tiger and she even has plastic whiskers pemanently
coming out of her face! she was very kind and i might help her make a website
and maybe a cam. and she is also a tattooist so we talked about that.
then there was a guy that was part of the act called "your neon cowboy"
and he was dressed all in neon and....a cowboy hat. tada:)
and his big trick is he puts a woman into leather straps and chains then picks
her up by his teeth. well, he needed a member of the audience to do this...so
who do u think he picks? ME, of course as i am the smallest woman in the front.
so i got suspended in the air by a neon cowboy by the teeth. i wish to god
u had been there to see it. it was hilarious. there were 500 photographers
there so i hope ONE of them sends me a picture of this in my email.
so i just pretty much sat in front of the stage 4 this all night, watching
the set three times...'cause each time it was different and i marveled at
them.
and the cool thing is i was sitting right next to this very mild mannered
conservative guy who is in charge of putting together the communications for
the usa missile defense system. for REAL.
u know...computers we can't even DREAM of. it was intense.
so i hope he writes me 'cause his brain was crazy. in a good way.
really weird night. so between the human blue puzzle, the tiger lady and the
understated freaking computer genuis guy that was just as amuzed and appalled
by "the enigma" swallowing swords of INCREDIBLE length and width
( who WAS in OBVIOUS pain)..it was...quite remarkable and i wish i could ftp
it into u...i can't stand that u are not with me to see these things!
oh..and then on the way out a clown stopped me ( it was a circus themed party
) and made me an origami frog. so now, tomorrow if i want, i can have the
clown, named otis, teach me how to make origami and balloon animals...or i
can go see the 7 billion panels that are going on. it's just too much.
i didn't make it to any panels today. i slept until 2pm, i am so exhausted. and i laid in devota's yard, and i was gonna listen to lush on my walkman...but the BIRDS here make THEE coolest sounds like some sort of backwards morning dove. PLUS, there are wild peacocks that i heard but did not see! and a family of racoons.
devota has two cats named ernie and sid. and ernie managed to pee all over my hello kitty bag within minutes of our introduction. so ernie is on my blacklist now. so i felt right at home :)
i can't believe there are two more days of this.
this house is cold, but i'm in the room with the computer..so that makes it a bit warmer. she lets me use her computer which is on a dial up.
i have so many cards in my purse. i don't remember any one's names.
i'm going 2 go wash my face, brush my teeth, light a candle and some incense and put on my sadist shirt then try to go right to sleep so i can actually get up tomorrow and go to panels. the film part of this conference is going on at the same time, so it's highly frustrating 'cause i wanna see all the films , too! but i just have no time!!!

i am glad 2 be back, even tho austin is an amazing city! wow, i wouldn't mind
living there at all! altho i hear the summers are intolerable..the WINTERS
are WONDERFUL. :)
jason is still gone. he left a day after i did to go to texas, too! isn't
that weird? except he went to dallas to go to a java teaching course.
he'll be back on friday night, so i have the house to myself for 2 days...which
is a strange feeling! well, so far it hasn't been strange 'cause usualyy he
is gone during the days anyway...but i'm sure as night falls it'll start feeling
weird. especially by tomorrow! i've never had the house to myself. and i've
never been away from him for this long!
the dogs are VERY happy i'm back, and i am VERY happy that i'm with my dogs
again :)
i am still waking up..so more later.
although i did sort through about 6,000 pictures last night that my livegrabs
had saved while i was gone! and soon i'll make an anagram :)

that article gave the wrong impression about a bunch of thing about my cam.
1stly, it makes it sound like i, personally, make 1,000-5,000 a month on my
cam, which is untrue. i make 1-2...most often 1,500 , only lately. ( and that's
before taxes)
and also i don't enhance my photos when i go out of the apartment..so i don't
know why she said that.
plus, i also won people's choice! ( hehe :)
too bad she didn't include the urls to any of our cams.
and when she said that woman addled mostly me and collegecouplecam, that was
because we were the ONLY other panelists on there! ha :)
amanda from amandacam didn't make it, sadly, 'cause i hear she is in the hospital
:( i don't know why :(

spool forka dish is my favourite album i've made so far. i think it's the
best because it was a culmination of 12 years of songwriting on the guiar.
then when i switched to electronic music..i wasn't as familiar with it, so
it sounds less finished. and i didn't record that record with anyone who listened
to electronic music so it was hard 2 descibe to people what to do ( since
i had to get people to play a lot of the parts for me since i can't play keyboards
that well )

i am meaning 2 write
a lot of responses to a BUNCH of posts in here, but i am still recharging
the batteries of my soul. so don't be offended if i am not responding to a
bunch of posts in here! i am responding to the easiest posts and leaving the
ones that take more energy to type! but i will respond!
i am slowly regaining my energy. i'm still just distant from any type of communication
right now.
but u know me...it'll all get saved up for a later late night typing typo
rampage :)
to everyone with your words of support. thank u so much :) your words are
wheat grass juice ( but tasting much better!) for my soul :)
i am watching this
thing on PBS about money. getting rid of negative thoughts about money. etc
etc.
i am realizing i have quite a few blocks about money. or maybe just one. i
want lots of money...but i don't want to have to manage it! so i need more
money to pay someone to manage my money :)
it could happen :)
the thing i don't agree
with that this woman on PBS is saying is that money is more important than
things.
and i don't agree with that. things are better than money. what good is a
load of money in the middle of the wilderness, for instance?
wouldn't u rather have a tent and some food , etc?
money is for buying things. i like things. things are good :)

pooka is the one standing. pooka is a LOT skinnier than deiter. pooka just
looks weirder and more dr. seuss. he is fluffier and way skinny. deiter looks,
to me, more like a DOG dog..he has more white fur and a lot loss fluffy. deiter
sits on the floor with his back feet spread out behind him like a frog. pooka
runs and walks with a dainty fast gait and deiter squiggles like a rump roast
in a piglet sort of way :)
i will try someday to get some videotape of them moving and making sounds
:)
