RockyJay: Well, sometimes I have my girly side, and sometimes I have my bitchy side. I am just talented enough to know how to turn one or the other on, or even *gasp* have them on at the same time!
Spiritdancerq: Thanks!
H.I.: It isn't too late to wish you a Happy New Year's is it? And thanks!
Nice blog. It may seem an indelicate question but, are you as hot as you sound? A crazy 20 something from Las Vegas studying molecular biology and genetics, ouch. If I have offended, I'm sorry, but your bio just makes you sound...well...hot.
I feel so uncool not knowing what the hell anyone is talking about. Then again, I have the strange suspicion that the fact that I don't know what these comments are talking about makes me supremely cool in its own right.
Surfed in Via Blog Explosion. I love your layout a lot. The best Christmas one I have seen so far. Keep up the great work. Would you like to exchange links?
If you really want a good laugh, check out all of Horace's other copy/paste comments in everyone else's blogs.
Horace: if you're going to spam people's blogs, at least come up with something original for each one. Not only are you annoying now, but you're also BORING.
Ooh, love the way that you tarted things up-very snazzy! How are finals? Hell is upon us, I swear! Did you like our stories on the blog about being sick and "python". Hope you feel better!
As a child, I grew up reading the following story:
An old Chinaman caught a wonderful bird in his garden one day. Whenever it snapped its beak, gold pieces would fall out of it. But the richer the old man got, the meaner he got. Whenever his servants’ wages were due, he would order them to go to the market to buy him ow and ouch. “If you come back without them, instead of wages you will receive a hundred strokes of the cane,” he would say.
They always preferred to stay at home and lose their pay. Once he took a clever young boy into his service. When his wages became due, the old man sent him to market like the others. “If I bring you ow and ouch, will you give me your magic bird?” the boy asked. The old man grimaced wickedly, but he agreed.
The boy ran into town. On the way he took two gourds, into one of which he put a wasp, in the other a bee. Then he hurried back to his master. “I have brought you ow and ouch,” he called out. “Put your finger in the gourds, and you will see!” As soon as the old man did so, the angry wasp stung him. “Ow, ow!” he cried.
“Did I not tell you, master, that I had brought you ow?” laughed the boy. “Put your finger in the other gourd, for there you will find ouch!” But the old man had had enough. He had to give the boy his magic bird, and he never sent anyone to market for ow and ouch again.
Do I care that I've been defeated? No. Actually, I am quite nonchalant about it. When I found out, I was buried in a biochemistry text-book on the final leg of an all-nighter I was pulling for an exam that day.
Actually, that is why I've taken so long to "react": I've got a shit-load of work right now that takes priority over such trivial things.
Am I going to discuss the comments made? Why? Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation and opinion.
Actually, I figured they were too easy on me, as instead of ripping me a new ass-hole, my innate one is in its same, pristine condition as it was when I entered the "dome".
What the fuck is this "banned bank" that you have up?
When I applied for the "dome" I was aware of the consequences if I lost:
I am also aware of my sentence:
My opinion is again that the judges were too easy on me, and far too kind. I was hoping I'd be defeated so I could have an excuse to not blog and to vacate the site for awhile. Then again, the fact that I lost to a blog as shitty as PMRILY, disallows me the ability to conceal from the world just how shitty my own blog is. Of course, I was well aware of this fact as I had signed up for, and was admitted to the Shitty Blogs Club months ago. It was for this reason that I decided to override the judges length of time from "not exceeding two months" to the full extent of one year (365 days for those of you who are conversion freaks).
The banned bank is my way of having everyone hold me accountable to this, and we all get to watch the time tick on by, and I get to enjoy the excuse to take a break from blogging.
That's right...I am going to be a good, honourable girl and not only increase my sentence time, but take it piecemeally.
You know, someone should really look into the utilisation of adverbs every now and then...
Since he seems to have time to answer my comments in other posts, I decided to make him my site bitch (or is it asshole). You get to ask him anything...and I mean ANYTHING in the comments, and he will reply.
The best part is he doesn't even know about it.
Now he does, as I knew he would. Please note that this has been categorised accordingly.
Meli, the word north is traced to the Old High German nord, and the Proto-Indo-European unit ner-, meaning "left" (or "under"). (Presumably a natural primitive description of its concept is "to the left of the rising sun".)
madbull, because the unicorns were a sub-standard species. deal with it.
My first question is, why won't this page work in IE? It loaded fine, but I couldn't get a cursor to appear in any of the boxes to input anything? I had to fire up Firefox.
Second, actual, question, is Google Analytics going to blow away all other web stat programs?
I did forget! I'm still getting used to the whole asshole = male bitch thing... I wish we could have come up with a better word for them, but oh well. :)
denotsko, Ohm's Law states that the potential difference or Voltage drop between the ends of a conductor and the current I flowing through the conductor are proportional at a given temperature. The gravitation pull of the moon on your balls can be measured, and demonstrated mathematically that it also effects the balls of Bird Flu infected chicken. When an electrical charge is allied to Chicken, the effect of Ohm's law causes them to go explode and spread more bird flu.
Deb, you didn't specify which banned bank you wanted to know about. So, I'll tell you about the Piggy Banned Banks which some banks no longer give away because they're scared they will offend Muslims.
You'll have to wait to find out what that is. Bio will post about that later. But, you're going to kick yourself for not coming up with it yourself. :)
Once upon a time I decided to drink a couple glasses of wine while talking with my friend FoFuSa on the net. It was at that time she sent me a link for an all out blog competition where people just tear you to shreds. A bottle couple more glasses of wine later, I find myself at the site submitting HorseHell to be massacred.
I could be a loser and claim that I was under the influence of alcohol (which is true), and therefore that my ability to reason was inhibited, but where's the fun in that?!
So today when they contacted me to tell me that it was time for HorseHell to meet its maker, I decided to take it like the bitch I am.
If I lose, there will be no posting on HorseHell for 2 months. No me, no thong pics, no drunken posting...nada. (Yeah, I am seriously scared.)
Danielle /anencephaly: I don't know whether you were implying that I was a pussy, or that I have one. But as we are going by your opinion, as always, I would say you are correct on both accounts.
Well, Ben decided he didn't care for my vodka, so he moved out. I recently put out an ad for a new pet of the week, and although Ben reapplied, I figured it was time to try someone else out.
I woke up this morning to 21 applicants to be my bitch site pet. How the Hell was I supposed to choose? Well, Ted showed some initiative, and posted a comment on my site.
During the daytime he will be running coffee and tea service, and at night he will be running the pub, being a tad pissed himself. Of course, if you want alcohol during the daytime too, all you have to do is ask. Then again, if you want coffee and tea when there is alcohol available, you're insane.
1. When applying for their service there is a two day turn-around, because they need to bug your home and format your computer keyboard/mouse with electronic sensors/shockgear. Also, they leave you ocular gear through which a laser beam can pass and render the user blind.
2. Everytime you write a new post, you are required to formulate a five question quiz pertaining to that new post.
3. When you surf, you are required to wear that nifty ocular gear and maintain contact with either the mouse or the keyboard. Remember those sensors and bugs they installed? They'll KNOW if you aren't following the rules.
4. You are required to read the blogs you surf upon for 30 seconds. Fail to remain at a site for 30 seconds, and you will recieve not only a high voltage shock through your mouse/keyboard, but the laser beams in the ocular gear will be activated.
5. You can, however, stay at a blog longer than 30 seconds. This is highly encouraged. Why? Well remember the five question quiz? You have to pass one after reading the top blog post on every blog. Failure to pass this quiz, and you recieve a high voltage shock coupled with the trusty laser treatment.
6. After the quiz, a screen pops up asking you if you enjoyed reading the blog you just read. You must click "yes" and the sensors that were installed will be able to monitor your vitals to see if you were giving a fraudulent "yes". If the reply is indeed fraudulent, you will experience copious amounts of electricity surging through your body. If you reply "no", you will be terminated via a lethal amount of electricity: we find the usage of snipers to be rather expensive and messy. Better learn to love those blogs people!
7. There are also "life credits" awarded. These credits are awarded to users on a random basis, and are used to reduce the dosage of the "reading incentives" implemented by BlogHostage.
8. Fail to use our services on a daily basis, and you WILL be terminated.
9. Fail to bookmark at least five blogs a day, and you WILL be terminated.
10. If you choose to leave BlogHostage, you will either be held hostage or terminated.
Simple enough, isn't it?
You might ask where the Hell we get all the funding for this programme. If we told you that, we'd have to kill you. However, we can give you a hint: many people wanted to test new forms of torture interrogation techniques, and they jumped at the chance to utilize our services.
Now, if you made it this far and didn't realize that this is a joke, you need to go read it again. I wrote this because I am sick and tired of people bitching and complaining that people aren't reading thier blogs. We cannot be forced to sit there for 30 seconds people, although we try. If we don't like it, we move on. 100% readership cannot be guaranteed. Get over it and get a life.
I was really hoping to get those electrode things so that I could take them apart and use them for devilish reasons.. This post was bloody brillant. I am humbled your creative genius. Great job on the banner too,
That was great. However, I am here much longer than 30 seconds. You see we did not need danger to make us give up our freedoms just the thought of some one reading our writting.
Too many people seem to think that since they have a blog, they have the right to readership.
Not so.
Readership is a privilege, and is most often reserved for blogs that are interesting in some way (ie. you, my dear ;) )
BE and others try to increase the possibility of blogs getting read, but if you don't have something to capture interest in the first place, you're sad out of luck.
I think I might take a break from BE for a while... no surfing, no battling... see what life used to be like.
Mindflame: You'd be surprised. The thought of people reading one's writing isn't enough. They want it guaranteed.
Ben: You know how to make a girl blush. ;-) I hope I still see you. *sniffs*
Will: I'm sure I can arrange something for you...
Capn: People listen to podcasts more? Damn, I need to reformat HorseHell and make it podcasts only then.
Luka: ;-)
Cap: I hope it makes people think. Unfortunately, those who are complaining the most seem to be incapable of doing such a thing.
BM: *grins*
Leigh: I can neither confirm nor deny that, BUT I can say the other aspects of the gear would make more people jump to use BlogHostage. The other findings aren't published, because it deals with readership, not voyeurship.
So Lost: I"ll have my people call your people. Come alone and unarmed. ;-)
Ben: Back AGAIN?! I believe BlogHostage is creating guidelines as we speak to allow for guaranteed podcast listenership. It will take awhile, as they need to acquire the required gear.
Not in Opera, though, there only the picture and a little bit down from it is in color, the rest is white and there is something strange with the sidebar.........seems like it doesn't load properly, or something.
But then I tried Firefox, and it looked absolutely fantastic :D You have so many talents!
Popped right on over from "Mommy's" blog to check you out. You made her whole year with that design, do you know that? You are way too cool, Bio; thanks for being here.
VERY nice job on the "Mommy's Busy" design.
Oh, as you'll hear many times, this Mommy is busy too so if you're ever again in the need for something to do...
I've been spending the past few days working on a new skin for HorseHell,and am almost done. Of course, when I thought I was finished, I ran into all the glitches. Hopefully I'll get things worked out within the next day or so. For now, here's a preview:
Would it be terribly wrong of me to say that I prefer this over the other 2? Perhaps it's because YOU made this one. Perhaps I'm just biased and think you're hot?
Brilliant! As the proprietor of a blog that was designed by Alf and Bert after a long and challenging night in the Pig & Whistle, I am envious and will demand that the money spent on pints and crisps be refunded. Perhaps the design team at Bubba's Bait Shop and Bar should be given the chance after reviewing your design.
Hey bio! Great new design, but I do take it that's not you there in that...ehm..hm...costume in the top? ;) LOL
Hoppas att vi får snacka lite snart igen, det var ett tag sen. Hoppas värmen inte tog kål på dig helt, hörde att ni hade värsta värmenböljan förut! Här i gamla Sverige har det regnat så förfärligt, det är hemskt. & snart kommer mörka, kalla vintern igen... *suck*
Aww you guys are making me blush. Thanks for the compliments. =)
Christina: In the about section of the sidebar you see a dropbox that says "Skin Me Baybee!". Click on that and choose "Horsin' Around" and the horses shall return.
Anne: I love coffee!
Bandy: I always love spicing things up.
Chromatin: Well, no....I am missing the lab coat.
Rachel: I think you are h0t too!
HI: I don't know about the design team at Bubba's Bait Shop and Bar. Perhaps you might give the team at Madame Bernadette's House of Pain a ring...
Irma: Don't make me smack something else!
T: The design fever is contagious, isn't it?
Polaris: It is so good to see you! If you want to talk sometime, my contact information is up there in the sidebar. Thankfully, the heat is subsiding here, and we are getting thunderstorms! Want to trade places for a while? I miss that dreadful weather. I can't wait to go back in December!
I figured it is about time I gave you all a bit of a heads up. If you look to the sidebar on the left of your screen, at the bottom of the "About" section is a little drop box that says "Skin Me Baybee!". If you click on that, you can choose, yes that is right, CHOOSE your favourite skin for this blog, whether it is the CSI one (which is the default one for now) or the one with the crazy horses.
Bio shouldn't have made such an announcement that she would be gone for a while.
I have taken the opportunity to h4xx0r this site.
Now you must deal with moi for a few days.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And so I present to you EyeCandy Day
Today it's for the ladies!
1. Why did you chose to study criminal investigation?
I've read detective stories as long as I can remember, and I love being a nerd in a science lab. I figured why not mix the two and see what happens!
2. Did you hide granny's teeth from her, or did she really lose them?
She lost them...honest! I'll also give you a freebie: It wasn't the first time!
3. What do you miss most about Sweden?
As my air conditioning went out today, I would put the weather at the top of a veeeeeery long list.
4. How many, if any, children do you want?
Two, and then I'll take it from there. I have a feeling that children will spice my life up quite a bit!
5. Make as many words as you can out of "biologisvensk är fyllerist"!
(Ha Ha Ha) I would do that, but I just don't have enough time to complete that request to its fullest.
Okay, so here is the deal...we are going to do an exchange program...you come live in my house for the summer and enjoy the 50/60 degree Swedish weather and I will come live in your house in Vegas and enjoy sweating my ass off. You might want to bring granny with you, cause I am not too good at finding teeth. And I will bring The King with me cause you are just too hot to leave alone with my husband all summer. ;) Though he does have a brother that is 21. I forget how old you are...somewhere around there right? And lives right next door...so you are set. I am sure we could find someone to hook granny up with too...
Anyway, so pack your bags...I'm on my way to sweat in the hot Vegas sun, gamble, and wear some bling bling. ;) Mmmkay!
FFS: It is a deal, as long as the King stays at home. I don't think you want him around all of those hot vegas cocktail waitresses. I am less of a threat than they are.
I have been contemplating doing some sort of themed day once a week. Since forensic science is the field I am headed into, it would be either Mystery Monday or Forensics Friday, and would consist of some mock crime scene/mystery that the reader would try to solve. If you lot would be interested in that, please let me know.
In other news...
I've come across two of the most adorable images on the net, courteousy of humandescent.com. In order to do my part of spreading warm-fuzzies to all of you weary net-travellers, I thought I would share them with you.
Please excuse my rather emotional half, as she likes to make guest appearances every now and then as seen in my previous novella. Your favourite, sarcastic, neighbourhood (insert word here) is back.
Yeah, I know, I know...I need to post more. But hey, when one is on holiday, they do other things with their time, such as reading books or filling out date applications.
You can see below that I decided to put my two most recently filled out applications on the main page, because I figured you lot were rather lazy, and I wanted to save you the time and energy of moving your mouse and clicking a button, not to mention the load time.
See, aren't I a nice hostess, always thinking of your needs?
*innocent smile*
If you aren't lazy, and have time on your hands (i.e. are confined to a pidgeon-hole of a workspace and are feeling rebellious), you can read all of the lot over here.
Oh yes, and for the love of goats people, if you have linked to me, will you please let me know? I want to do the same, and thank you in the process!
UH, I think Morris is making the rounds.-I received a similar affectionate comment about 2 hrs ago on my blog. (his first comment). How ironic is that out of all the blogs....?
BTW, I like that you have variety to your blog. To me, that's like having a full personality. :)
For what its worth, I like variety too, but I do try to keep my emotional, sensitive side out of the way of public scrutiny as I don't want to be hurt. I love defense mechanisms, don't you?
It has been a busy and eventful weekend for me, and I will post about that later on, but for now I have a few things to take care of.
First of all, if you look in my personal information to the left, you will see that I have added my messaging client contact information. I have a bit of work to get done today at the computer, so if you give me a buzz, you will more than likely get ahold of me. I could use the aid in staying awake, aside from the strong pots of coffee I will be partaking of.
Secondly, I have posted all of the completed applications over here. Do go over and have a read. I had a blast with them, and am contemplating creating a permanent home for the application.
Finally, it seems to have been the weekend of the meme, so I of course obliged and completed them.
If I could be a bonnie pirate, I would steal myself a ship, grab a crew of scallywags, and rustle me up some treasure. Savvy?
If I could be a proctologist, I would rid the world of anal retentive people, one rear at a time.
If I could be a Jedi, I would use the force to fill the world with honest politicians.
If I could be an architect, I would build my dog and cats a cool house.
If I could be a mob boss, I would establish more politically correct terms for "whacking" somebody, or seeing if someone is "sleeping with the fishes."
Turd in a punch bowl,
So long, and brown, and fair.
Turd in a punch bowl,
What are you doing there?
And now, I must pass these memes onto three lovely people. If you don't do them, I won't come after you. So W.E., Bob, and Andy, have fun. You can find the rules at the links provided.
GO TO BED !
