I see the commenting option as a nice perk to my blog. It is a way to get instant feed back and hear what people are thinking. It makes my blog into sort of a discussion forum if you will. But sometimes my blog turns into other peoples forum for wanting to be weird, random and or provoking etc, etc. This is just plain weird.
Now don't get me wrong, I like the commenting option, and Chris this is not me telling you to stop posting on my blog again. But I would kindly ask for people to refrain from puking on my blog every now and then. The comment option is not there to say something random whenever you fell like it, thank you very much.
Now lets review why the commenting option is here now shall we?
You may comment if you need to get in touch with me about something. For instance the lovely nicole asked me about how to study for something. This was a very specific question and is fair game for the comment post. Now this option really doesn't apply to chris since he can contact me directly and has no reason to contact me through the blog. I mean why post something to me as I am talking to you, isn't easier to just tell me?
Another option is to directly make commentary on somethign I may have posted, and yet another option is to comment on how cute I am (this is not an option for chris however). Ok so the third option isn't really something I want, ok scratch is all together. Lets see, pretty much anything is good for comments except random spewing. Is that fair, or am I being wierd about this?

Just incase you wanted to know I got a new yahoo identity, because my old e-mail was getting way to much spam. So now you can contact me at naomi_bot aaaaaaat yahoo.com or you can always message me if you wish. Nobody (besides chris of course) ever messages me so I don't expect you too. I am a sad lonly person, oh woa is me. So yeah go ahead and add me to your friends list as naomi_bot. Assuming you have yahoo messenger of course. :P

I got my new glasses today. Now I can see!

I understand now that in order to be a good writer, clarity is key. So let me be clear when I say that cam girls from now on should be called pron girls. Oh the horror and amusment, its all a little too much for me to bear.

If I could be anyone at any time I would be Simon Le Bon circa 1985.

I am not too happy with my fem-bot project, so I have taken it down for now. But maybe one day it will be back up, as soon as I get inspiration.
Second Thoughts:
Sometimes I sit and think about what it would be like to be normal. So I think about it, and think some more. Then I suddenly realize that I am normal, and it’s my friends who are weird! And then I feel good for a moment. After that I think again and I get scared that the sun would have burned out by the time I wake up because if would have slept too long. And then I think about it again, and I come to the conclusion that I am weird. This makes me sad.
This is all totally random me, thinking about getting high on coffee but not really doing it so just ignore it ok. Oh and there are random updates around somewhere too except I can't rember everythign I did, so if you want to see what I did you will have to look around. I suggest visiting the me section because its the only page worthwhile on this site.

Oh right I will mention this before I forget. I am working on a new layout for anabaena.net. I am thinking a large bird such as a chicken or a rubber ducky is order for this layout. Comments and suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
edited later that night:
Ok I couldn't resist, right after I wrote that I made a new layout. What do you think?

I went to a celebration of procreation yesterday, otherwise known as a baby shower. It was an interesting experience. But anyway I did the usual get drunk and dance on top of tables routine, so that was fun.
Highlight of the Day: I found a rabbit skeleton while hunting for mushrooms, so I brought it home but now I don’t' know what to do with it. I was thinking it might make a nice jewelry piece, but it is kind of big. I have some computer bits hanging around my room that I have been meaning to make into jewelry too, but I always get side tracked. I suppose I shouldn't try to go into the jewelry making buisness anytime soon.

I updated my wishlist once again, because I know people have been acheing to buy me presents. So anyway I decided I should start stalking up on dvd's even though I don't have a dvd player yet. But I am sure I will have one by April.
Has anyone seen, Haiku Tunnel, Ghost World, or Pi? They are all very good movies that I recomend.

Whilst sending a yahoo V-day greeting, I noticed that March first is National Pig Day. I also noticed that March 8th is Employee appreciation day! I should tell my boss about that one, I like to be appreciated. And then the day of all days March 14 is Pi Day! Can you belive it, a whole day dedicated to the worlds greatest transcendental number, Pi! Woah it looks like March is going to be a full month.

Somebody needs to tell me when my site looks like crap in Netscape. I saw my blog in Netscape today and I found out I forgot [/td] somewhere and so it looked all funny. Who knows how long it was like that. I go crazy when I find out something is freakishly wrong with a web page I did, because I am anal like that. Anyway, I have been exhausted lately and I have e-mails to catch up on but I will do that later.
I had a strategy for doing well in my mycology class while also putting forth the least amount of effort possible. Its not working. I decided to study as little for the test as I can, that way after taking the test I will know exactly how deficient I was and how much I will need to study for the next test without straining more brain cells then i need too. Well the test was hard, and I think I did bad. but we shall see when I go to class tomorrow.
Does everyone like my new picture there to the left? I think its much better then the last and more representative of me. The grey background really brings out my eyes. :P

Ok something is going on here, and I don't know whats up. I never get nice e-mails from my website. I mean never, and the guestbook is rarely signed. But in the past two days I have received three nice e-mails and people have been signing the guestbook. They were nice e-mails you know, well ok maybe one was weird, but thats ok. I mean I still received e-mail and that feels kind of nice. I am a neglected person on the web, I get e-mail from regular people I talk to, but never from some random person saying hi.
And my hits have increased a bit too, except I can't tell where all the people are coming from since naomilog is a cloked forward url and all my referers are from naomilog.com.

Oh no! Another online quiz you say? well I am sorry but I just had to do this one. I mean come on haven't you ever wondered which John Cusack you are?
I am Lane Meyer from "Better off Dead" - Obsessed. Suicidal. I live in a very, very strange world.Which John Cusack Are You?

Fem-bot.com is officially up, although its still not complete. I have more doodles to do and some essays too. I don't have any essays up right now because I need the creative bug to hit me; I suffer from constant writers block. I am also trying to think of asinine topics to write essays on. I already have one topic in which I will write on food trauma. I have found that many people have been traumatized by food and so I think it feels good sometimes to know you are not alone. I personally have been traumatized by bananas and green beans. It something I still struggle with. No, I am serious.
So I have been thinking that I have been doing a lot of things in gray-scale lately, and maybe I should add some color to some of my sites. So I tried to add some color to anabaena.net, with no luck. Its just looked silly and I only got as far as changing the link color. But I need to do something different soon. The blog is looking boring don't you think?
So today I discovered that its nice to have the scanner plugged in when you are trying to use it. It works better that way, and believe it or not, it took me about 5 min to figure that out.
Note to viewers: will you please tell me if fem-bot has anything wierd like broken links or whatever. thanks. I already know that if you try and open one of the pop ups when one is already open it won't resize the window automatically. I am not sure if there is anything I can do about that. But this does remind me that I did use a php script from dodo which is pretty nifty. Its a nomargin pop up that automatically detects the size of the image and the thumbnail so you don't need to specify the size of the pop up like you do with the javascript pop up.

Yeah so I stole this link from blogger. PC Magazine: The Blog Phenomenon by John Dvorak.
So he goes into why people blog and what not, and oh did he peg me down. Its all about the ego gratification people, but that is just because I am trite and shallow.
Anyhow I came out of the closet at work, and now everyone knows I am a web geek. I fessed up, and confessed it all. So now there is nothing left to hide, or is there? You never know with me, I can always surprise you.

Oh crap! I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut! oh I will feel humilitation when I go to work. :(

2002-02-03

I have not gone anywhere, but I have been feverishly working on fem-bot.com. Its coming along and should be done in a week or two or three or four. Hopefully it won't take to long.
Monetary News: I am broke, but I bought two cd's. Somebody should really keep me away from Best Buy because of all those cd's and computer stuffs. Its enough to make me go bankrupt. Anyway on some possible major computer purchasing news. I am going to get a Dell soon, and maybe sooner then I thought. My friend might be able to get me a deal where I can get the computer I want with all the fixins (except a cd-rw :( ) for about 600 smakaroos. It seems like sort of a shady deal, one of them under the table sort of jobs. But i hope i can get it. Most likely not though. So I will pay the normal price for it in April. Oo but i want my trinitron moniter, its so pretty. I have never had a nice moniter.
