Ecstacy

I've stayed up all night jacked up on e-media. Several times, I have reduced myself to tears. Anything can set me off: a photo, a comment on my site or perhaps a funny music video. I strained my chest laughing, and my eyes are looking rather red. This is my broadband existence in manic mode. LOL LOL LOL LOL!

Last·FM rules!

32 are gone forever: a prayer for the Hokies

Arabic speakers have a saying that translates to "They gave us their years" --so we might continue to live. Thank you, friends. God rest your souls.
For the surviving: May peace quiet their darkest tremors, and may hope burn away the fog of fear. May shock be changed to sadness, and may sadness become healing. Never shall we forget. Amen.

Top 10: You know it's spring when you're out jogging and . . .

10) Suddenly, you feel hot, white and red all over. Caucasian pale monster! Run!
9) Your panting sounds worse than usual. It must be the sedentary months you spent in your snow cave.
8) The sand is not reminiscent of Siberian Beachfest '04. It gives.
7) Critters!
6) You take off your shirt, and your nipples remain soft and comfortable. Yeah, I said that.
5) A pickup truck full of Mexican roofers almost runs you off the road.
4) You remember there's no way you should be out with finals week so near.
3) Screw the finals! It's sunny today!
2) Insatiable thirst! Why am I so thirsty? What's going on? *Thud*
1) Welcome to Stankonia. The air is blooming with odors of moist foliage and thawing animal feces. Yum! Let's do another mile!

Fun with open-source

I've spent the whole day messing with Gimp 2 and Scribus, and I'm having a ton of fun! It took me an hour and a half to figure out how to export a .bmp from Scribus, but I'm learning! On the left is my new Facebook pic. The text was hard to get right!
