Title: Hello
Post by: AllieOK on July 20, 2010, 06:47:07 PM: I think it is quite possible that I have strayed into the War and Peace by Dostoyevsky zone when I found this site. But I'll introduce myself and you can tell me if I'm not strange enough for the likes of you all. I'm 67 years old, a professional artist by trade, now retired from selling my work. I also like to write, I am a gardener, love digital photography, and manipulating them in Photoshop. I do some web design, as well.

I can't remember, really. I have a new computer and I was going through some old bookmarks to see which ones I want to keep... and I had one for this site. I suspect I thought it was a resource for HTML coding problems back when I bookmarked it, but it is clear to me now that if that is part of what you all do here... it doesn't begin to cover the scope of interests addressed. Thanks for the welcome.

What's with all these whippersnappers joining the geekery, when I was 67 I had to walk through the snow and rain in my flip flops for 3 miles to get to the nearest internet cafe.

*gasp* They had flip flops, and INTERNET! when you were 67!?

I wrote an awesome Michael Jackson-bashing article once, well about how people are making too big a deal over him being dead. And all my points were referenced to his songs. One of them was about blood stains on the carpet.

This statement is so right in many ways.
Title: Re: Hello
Post by: ivan on July 22, 2010, 12:29:11 PM: To be fair, people made a really big deal over him being alive long before they made a really big deal over him being dead. It kinda follows.

The kid is not my son.

They did, but so many people who didn't really care about him when he was alive went crazy when he died, and I didn't understand it. My cousins friend never listened to his music but she bought a plane ticket and went to his funeral... I just don't understand!!!

Being a muscian, in thr industry, I think MJ to me was missed most by the thr fact we lost an incredible singer/dancer.

That being said, he was fucking wacky. Baby dangler, anyone?

Also, I almost murdered one of the DJs on one of the local radio stations. They play the radio in the local movie theatre before it starts ( I live in a small area) and this dumb bitch comes on and sounds drunk as fuck saying whatever, and goes "oh yeah, and Michael Jackson died". Sounded like a freaking Cali plastic blond.

Have I mentioned I hate these kid of people? My friends used to make me watch "My Super Sweet 16" just to watch me flip shit.

Spelling is far more important than penis. I'd much rather sleep with a Spelling Bee Champ than a pornstar.

im neither. Where does that place me?

This reminds me of someone saying that they thought that if *at the risk of sounding obsessed with this actor* alan rickman read the dictionary, it would probably be orgasmic.

I wonder what would happen if he spelled all the words as well...

I don't like dirty metal boys... Clean metal boys are okay though.

I showered this morning and I have an affinity for heavy distortion. As a matter of fact, my guitar warmup is "Fade to Black".

Lol Rizzy you and your Rickman obsession... I still think Sean Connory has a sexier accent :X He can be my daddy any day ; )

Meh. Sean Connery, I dunno, there's something about him that annoys me for some reason, but I can't place it.

As far as dethklok goes, Skwisgaar Skwigelf is where it's at. But, as far as real metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGINLisYN9Y&feature=related

Sorry, I already have a heavy metal boy. He lives in Sweden and has super long hair. He also probably has a cooler name than you :P.

I'm single and 0% of women think I'm attractive.
