  1. I think that people like that have to act important and ignore those they think are less important than them. In reality, they're just posing because, deep down, they know they're really not that important, but their egos demand that they portray themselves that way. The funny thing is that, sooner or later in life, they're the ones that come crawling back to you, asking for table scraps because you're the one who is really important now, because you didn't waste your time on stupid things like posing and instead worked hard to get where you are.I had to deal with much the same thing through much of high school. (Though my brief college career was much nicer.) See, I actually had the gaul to enjoy school and most of my classes, though not the history class run by that liberal Nazi, but that's another story. Anyways, I knew I was looked down upon and ridicules because of what I wanted to do, but I knew that, in the long run, what they were saying didn't mean a thing to me. I mean, yeah it hurt at the time, but what's the point of the insults if not to hurt? High school is a vicious group of posers who have nothing better to do but goof off and laugh at the few that are determined to actually make something of themselves. I think it all comes down to laziness. The posers are too lazy to actually do anything but laugh and jeer at people who are stronger than them at getting things done, and it's all about wanting to pull people down to their level because they're jealous.
  2. Thought I'd mention a couple of communities in livejournal that always have lots of jokes. (I'm also the member of another couple of similar communities, but they're more mature, so didn't wanna get in trouble by posting about them here.) Jokes Joke XChange They're really funny sometimes, and I try and post in them when I get something.
  3. Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight safety lecture" a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:"As we prepare for takeoff, please make sure your tray tables and seat backs are fully upright in their most uncomfortable position.""There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane.""Your seat cushions can be used for floatation, and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments.""We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the wing of the airplane.""Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Anyone caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately.""Good morning. As we leave Dallas, it's warm, the sun is shining, and the birds are singing. We are going to Charlotte, where it's dark, windy, and raining. Why in the world y'all wanna go there I really don't know."Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt light off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay in the plane until we land...it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wing, it affects the flight pattern." And, after landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."As we waited just off the runway for another airliner to cross in front of us, some of the passengers were beginning to retrieve luggage from the overhead bins. The head steward announced on the intercom, "This aircraft is equipped with a video surveilliance system that monitors the cabin during taxing. Any passengers not remaining in their seats until the aircraft comes to a full and complete stop at the gate will be stripsearched as they leave the aircraft."Here are a few heard from Northwest: "Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or adults acting like children.""As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight crew. Please do not leave children or spouses."And from the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry...Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."
  4. I've loved this site since I first found it a couple years ago. It has 12 php related scripts, but also links to many other resourceful sites and tutorials, as well as a forum board much like this one that is pretty straightforward and easy to get help if you have any questions. codegrrl.com<---check it out!
  5. I would try something other than black for the font color, and why not try yellow, or something like a yellow/orange gradient color scheme for the title bar? other than that, I think the basic idea you have going, designwise, seems to pretty much work.
  6. My first website, under tons of different names, was created on Angelfire around May 1996. I originally called it Queen Alissa's Castle in the Labyrinth after the main character in many of my written fanfictions, and later called it Crystal's Mystic World of Fanfiction. I think it originally had memberships I was a part of, fanfiction I liked, and, I think, some Buffy pics that I liked a lot. If I remember correctly, (remember, this is nine years ago, and light-years in experience from where I am now), I had different backgrounds on each page, and big *bottom* fonts for headers. I had no idea what the heck I was doing back then, and alternately cringe and laugh when I look at what I was doing back then and how I'm doing now. lol
  7. I have a few interesting resource links up on a page on my site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  8. I'm sorry to disagree with so many people, but for the kind of web designing I do, Frontpage XP works just great for me. I think one of the main reasons why is that I don't usually utilize such things as Flash or Fireworks, but generally stick to basic HTML or PHP. Plus, I'm a visual designer as well as pretty lazy, so Frontpage's simple interface works well for me, especially since I can switch between the editing, HTML, and web versions of any html document, plus makes it easier to edit php files when I "paste" it to an html document for ease of editing and movement. I also like the fact that, in the HTML view, it has all the coding color coded, so I can see at a glance if I have all tags closed and such.
  9. Just found this kickass cool site for helping those who are stumped on crossword puzzle clues: oneacross.com You basically can input both the clue and any letters you might have. Also, if you put the letters you have in lowercase, it means you think it might be the correct letter, but putting it in uppercase means that you're all but certain that that's the correct letter(s). Here's an example: Clue: police raids Word (has 5 spaces, for which I only know the second letter): ?U??? Response: BUSTS see? simple and easy interface too...check it out!
  10. Wow. When I thought about it, I use the internet for a lot of different things.1. For designing, hosting, and maintenance of my main personal sites2. To advertise my job as a dancer3. To vent, show off funny stuff, etc. in my livejournal4. To connect with people all over the world in the online web community, especially in the adult entertainment, local swinger, and fanlisting communities.5. To research a myriad of topics, both personal and professional6. To download/listen to music7. To chat8. To play online games9. To display my own designed graphics/search for graphics10. Pure pleasure of lots of interesting websites to browse through.If I think of anything else, will add, but what else can y'all think of for why you use it?
  11. Would you go crazy? I don't think so; I think it would spur me on to go out and actually socialize with people I live around...that's what people did for centuries before computers came along. Would YOU not exist? No, I'd still be here...though how my dad would've made his living is anyone's guess, since he's a computer programmer. Would you be bored all day? Naw...I can still entertain myself with reading 1000s of books a year. Would you be bored at school all day? Nope...loved school, especially literature and science classes Would you be stuck playing board games and stuff all day? nope Would you end up working all day? nope, though I'd probably not be in the computing or forensic fields Would you be determined to invent computers? Naw, I'm too lazy for that kinda stuff Would you keep a computer secret in your closet and use it when no ones looking? nope Would you just be a all around idiot? nope Would you drink coffee all day? no, but I'd probably drink more than I do now. Would you sleep all day? nope...too much in life to do to sleep it all away. Would you kill yourself? no Would you be a cop? be involved in forensics maybe, but not be a cop, per se. Would you be a robber? no Would you be a mugger? no Would you be a regular person? probably Would you like to exist on this earth? yes Would you die of boredom? no Would you invent games? no Would you invent more games? no Would you think about inventing computers? no
  12. The one main thing I see wrong with species cloning, specifically human cloning, is what is the answer to a quality of life issue? When a person is cloned, are they a human being with all the rights and priviledges therein contained? or are they simply biological matter to be used as seen fit? I think that, at least where human cloning is concerned, there's a big ethics issue right at the heart of the whole thing from where you get the stem cells to clone to what you do with them once they are cloned. As to animals, yes, I think it might be a good thing, but, as some have already mentioned, it can also be a double edged sword in the wrong hands.
  13. Hmm, seems like a pretty good question. My dad's been in computers longer than my 23 years, so I grew up surrounded by computers and learning early how to get around on the computer, and, subsequently, the internet. I would have to say that I would probably, as some have already said, have better social skills since i would, by necessity, have to get out and socialize more. I would also probably not really have gone the web design route, but might have followed my father onto the programming field. I don't know, but what I do know is that I would miss the online communities that I am a part of, including, but not limited to: stripperweb, thefanlistings.org and the tfl.org boards, codegrrl forums, Xisto, and especially all my friends on yahoo and livejournal. There are some positive aspects to a world without the internet, but it also leaves a lot of people in this day an age disconnected from people they could otherwise have great friendships with over long distances.
  14. Actually, one that I've found works wonders and has a great online community, kinda like this one, is livejournal.com...you can either get free or paid blogs, and not only that, but I can pay for a year for only $25 American, which I think is pretty cool and fair... Or you can try something like Moveable Type or Greymatter, both of which I've heard are quite good.
  15. I would, if it weren't for the fact that I just upgraded to this phone quite recently and would be charged an arm and a leg to switch phones right now. But, the advice about the software and cable might be something I could look into, though I think I already have the USB cable I would need.
  16. I'm sorry, but I don't know if I'm looking at the wrong wap sites or something, or maybe my phone isn't capable of downloading any free ringtones or something. I have a Motorola V220 with cingular, and I've tried three different sites and keep getting a 500 or 502/503 error. Anybody know what I need to do to my phone, if there IS anything I can do, to make it to where I can download free ringtones for free?
  17. Here's the link: The WebpageWhy does it bother? because he's trying to make it so that we are banned from all adult events, including swingers parties. The link's where you can see for yourself that he is actively trying to ruin our lives. He is telling all the other local webmaster who we have dealt with as well as many in the local swinging community. It's not a matter of friends, but rather business associates believing it that I'm concerned about.
  18. Okay, I really didn't want to bring up this issue in my life, but he pushed the line with this one. First, the back story: my webmaster for my adult site had issues with my boyfriend/video editor about telling models about other paid shoots other than his own. He then proceeded to tell everyone in our local swinging community that he had fired Rich for lying and shady dealings. Now, he brought up the fact that Rich had been arrested for child molestation. The way he slants it on the webpage, he doesn't explain that the charges were eventually dropped once it was discovered that the girl in question had lied about the entire thing. He accuses him of being a child molestor, instead of being accused of being one, which is the actual truth. He has said that we should be banned from all functions of an adult nature in the area! I'm sorry, but this case of obvious slander has me so angry I could *BLEEP*ing spit. He basically imed everyone he knew with the url and told them that they should check it out for the "truth". I'm sorry, but I needed to get this out because this is really upsetting, and, if it weren't for the fact that the guy's not worth it, I'd go blow his brains out right now. Any help or hugs would be appreciated. *sigh*
  19. The one on top is Sarah Michelle Gellar and the one in the middle is Charisma Carpenter...the text on the bottom one is Never Normal, my domain name.
  20. Has anyone else read about this recently? Here's the links to two local (for me) versions of the story: Tale of Two Weddings From England, a Prince's Bride Part 2 Um, I don't know about you, but didn't Prince Edward VIII abdicate for much the same thing? It's funny how a few decades can change public opinion, although the wire services did say that British public opinion is against both Camilla ascending the throne and publicly being called the Princess of Wales, although by legal technicality, she does hold that title, but the public concensus is that there would be a lot of issues if she ever claimed it on anything but paper. (Considering how she was treated when it originally came out she was the "other woman", it's not that surprising.)
  21. Lay a whisper on my pillow, Leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, There's air of silence in the bedroom And all around. Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away. It must have been love But it's over now. It must have been good But I lost it somehow. It must have been love But it's over now. From the moment we touched 'Til the time had run out. Make-believing we're together, That I'm sheltered by your heart. But in and outside I've turned to water Like a teardrop in your palm. And it's a hard Christmas day, I dream away. It must have been love but it's over now, It was all that I wanted, Now I'm living without. It must have been love But it's over now, It's where the water flows, It's where the wind blows.
  22. Not sure if anyone knows about this or not, but there's actually a really cheap, easy way to advertise, and it kinda works with the banner exchange idea. It has to do with META tags in the header section of your html. Here's an example from one of my sites: <META name="description" content="Christy is a Tampa Strip Club Dancer"><META NAME="keywords" content="Tampa, Strip Club, Strip Club, Dancer, Tampa Strip Club Dancer"><META NAME="TITLE" CONTENT="Tampa Dancer"><META NAME="OWNER" CONTENT="webmaster@ChristyDancer.com"><META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="ChristyDancer.com"><META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="Mon, 25 Dec 2009 00:00:01 EST"> Basically what this does is that, according to what your site is about, will enable it to be spidered by the search engines, such as Google, much quicker. And, depending on the keywords you use, it may also enable you to move upward on the search list, since placement on many of the search engines is based on click ratio. Just something I thought you guys might find interesting.

  24. Love playing around with graphics in Photoshop and here's a few I played around with, as well as one of my favorite layout designs: (the first graphic can be downloaded as a wallpaper. https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/
  25. Well, there's also another yellow armband that was sponsored by Lance Armstrong for cancer awareness- maybe that could be one that a lot of people are wearing?
