I just got oscillated-against in an inappropriate manner by this fan. It surprised me & kinda tickled.

*tee-hee*

An important computer at my church has more pirated software than my own. Actually, mine has none, although I plan on using their copy of MS Office on my computer soon for compatibility's sake. I much prefer MS Office over Open/Libre Office.

...was the journal subject I typed in the daydream I just had. Let's just say.... Westboro Baptist Church and I are going to be visiting the same town at the same time, and I considered a seemingly harmless prank involving itching powder(I don't even know where to get that) that inadvertently led to a car wreck in my daydream.
Granted, I've daydreamed worse(I don't think I could ever shoot a gun), and so have many others(they could shoot guns), but this sounded interesting to me. The daydream was just a prank, really, if there was a chance of tampering with their protest signs while they weren't looking. The rest was just "What could happen?"

The best defense against these creeps is ignoring, though. The media seems to have stopped giving them the attention that they thrive on. Or so I've heard. I really don't watch TV that much. It doesn't seem like it would silence them, but it would definitely take away some of their power.

My, looking at their picketing schedule, they sure waste a lot of gas! I might have been in the same town as them at some other time as well! Honestly, I don't think I could control myself if I actually did get close to them, and they LOVE getting reactions(which is why I'm staying away). I had another daydream where I'm trying to discuss Star Trek or My Little Pony with them, just to distract them, and constantly changing the subject if they got back on the "I HAT AMERICA YET I STILL LIVE HER" banter, saying, "Nah, I don't feel like discussing that, but COUNTRY MUSIC, that I can join in on the complaining." This will remain just a dream. There's too many of them, so if anything it would just look like I'm giving them attention while they keep yelling. They can also ignore me. I'll take a preemptive strike on the ignoring, instead.

YOU JUST WOKE UP NAKED IN BED NEXT TO ME..... using only 3 words, what would you say to me??

SNATCHED.... from  flinters

Yeah, I'm 28 and have never bought a lottery ticket until today, not including a few co-worker pools I contributed to almost a decade ago. If I missed out on a winning office pool, I would really regret it. But today, I did it on my own. I walked in, pre-paid for my gas, and asked for a lottery ticket. Then he asked which one. Erm... I don't know, I've never bought a ticket before!

Now, I'm definitely against gambling. It's generally a lousy investment. However, a ticket only costs $1. Do you know how much money I risk on day-to-day activities? I drive. I pay insurance. I make investments on home business stuff. THIS IS ALL GAMBLING! One ticket a week doesn't even hurt. Insurance.... I think has gutted me. I feel good about this risky investment. If I win even $52, I break even for the year! I don't know how often I'll get a ticket, but I figure either once a week or each time I pre-pay for my gas(I often use my debit card instead of pre-paying).

Oh, and that doesn't even include how much money I WASTE! At least this $1/week wasted has some chance of changing my life.

I've watched 6 episodes so far(Sonic Rainboom has been my favorite episode so far), and it's starting to grow on me a little. The animation, the storytelling, the tubas.
Here's my favorite scene from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: http://youtu.be/_KXf3kwjKQ0
Currently wondering what my ponysona might look like. And my CUTIE MARK? Wow, I really have no idea. A Darwin fish? Raccoon tail? OO! Maybe a hoodie!

Okay, St. Patrick's Day is over. You can take off your green shirts now, ladies.

People have been liking Tumblr a lot lately, so I decided to start one up. Let's see how this goes.
Not sure how long they'll stay as useful for free users, considering they have no ads. Where do they get their revenue? I see that they do sell themes, but they've gotta do more than that to make enough money for a popular blogging platform. While I have the same concerns with Twitter, security of the archive isn't as important for a "what's up right now?" type of platform.
I used to use LiveJournal, but their ads got very annoying. "Once the ad ends you'll be returned to your LiveJournal experience"... is currently the LiveJournal experience! Only took 2 clicks to get that message to pop up so I could copy it. This one showed up on the page to post a blog entry, which would prevent people with slow computers from even posting. I've considered paying, but I really don't know where I should actually post my blog once I get started on it. Blogger or Wordpress seems best for an actual blog, but Tumblr could too, if it's easy enough to browse the archive. LiveJournal doesn't even let me go far into my archive.

I don't like to see anus in porn. Sure, there's the grossness of a poop-chute, but it also looks... weird. Like a blemish or a puncture wound. Sometimes it looks like it's trying to distract me from the balls, with its vividness(especially in black fur). I like balls, dicks and boobs, but if that bright pink poo-passage is visible, I'm less likely to fav it. I know there are tons of people who are into it and lots of other kinks I find gross, but, ergh. If I ever have gay sex, I think the only act I'd be able to stomach is a blow job. Unfortunately, nearly all the gay porn I find on FA is rump-bumping. Lots of it even shows a closeup. Never do I see any shit on the dicks, though. Never! I highly doubt real buttsex has anywhere NEAR that rate of cleanliness.
Still, I do have fantasies where I fuck my fursona in da butt, because it would still feel good, and imaginary raccoons leave no chocolate coating. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

*goes back to your trashcan to forage for chocolate*

Oo! Doritos!

Today I went to McDonald's and got too much change back at the drive-thru. 20 cents. The guy thought the nickel was a quarter. This presented a quandary. Do I give him back the 20 cents, telling him that I gave him exact change? If I were Christian, I definitely would. Most Christians, I believe, would take it as a blessing from God(whether they believed it was okay to accept it or not). I've found that I'm more honest than most Christians I know. I do know of a Christian that would have given it back, but generally, I think the size of the company would make it seem less of a sin. I'm not afraid of an all-seeing deity, so I relied on guessing what the possible outcomes would be.

If I gave the 20 cents back: This would throw the cashier's timing off. He wouldn't expect such a thing. A confused cashier is a less-effective cashier. You do NOT want to throw off a cashier. I know this from experience, on both sides of the situation. In the end, I don't benefit, and other people's orders may get disrupted.
If I said nothing: I get to eat my sandwich sooner, everybody else gets their orders in the expected time, nobody notices anything. Cashier may have wondered why I had a confused look on my face, but most customers have that look anyway, and it was dark, so he probably didn't notice that either. Also, the drawer is $2.54 short instead of $2.34 short.

It took several seconds to decide what the best action would be(while I waited for my sandwich), but in the end, I couldn't find any benefit to handing back the dimes. Now, if I got $5 too much back(it's happened), yes, I definitely would give it back, even if it's against some of my personal rules. I only think of how something will affect ME, as I don't give a shit about other people(except for how they affect me), and there's no way accepting $5 too much at the drive thru would come back to me, but I also don't want to be the reason somebody got into trouble for the drawer being too short. I just don't want the guilt, and I don't like having money that's not mine. Then again, I might know them either now or in the future, so maybe there COULD be a way it could come back to me, but mostly, I don't want to be the raccoon responsible for a drawer shortage(even if it's totally their fault). Oh, and looking honest is good. They might be my manager later on. Giving back $5 looks good.
What it all comes down to, really, is if the amount of money is worth the action, and 20 cents simply isn't worth it.

Then again, I never alerted a certain cell phone company to a couple hundred dollars worth of credit to my account. That circumstance was different, anyway, as the call center is in India and they can't even understand a simple request. How would THAT affect me? Most likely something getting royally screwed up. No really, their customer service is that bad and they have royally screwed simpler stuff up(mom lost her phone number after a total of 7-10 hours on the phone with them on a simple request). I figure if I didn't get actual cash from this, and I'm really not using the extra credit for anything(I pay a monthly fee anyway), then a "hardly-used store credit" mistake isn't worth the problem. It's hardly cost them anything with how few minutes I use.

From the LOLcat Bible, somewhere at http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.ph.....itle=Main_Page I don't know da verse.

Thanks to  threetails for mentioning this in a comment on his mate's journal.

It's the time of year when kids learn and sing about the virgin Mary, which makes me wonder: How do people explain to kids what a "virgin" is? That CAN'T be an easy thing to explain to a child. Do parents & teachers tell them it means "pure"? Maybe that it means they haven't had a child? I think just adding it to their vocabulary at that age will get the kid into trouble sooner or later, most likely innocently mis-using the word.

I remember when a Sunday school teacher asked us what we'd do in various situations & one of the situations was a friend asking us to come look at(or maybe steal) porno mags with them. I had no idea what "pornography" meant at that age, so I asked, and the teacher decided to just skip on to the next situation. Heh, probably a good move. "I learned about pornography in Sunday school today!"

It was great when Inkbunny started getting a variety of artists to water down the saturation of cub artists, but now that Alert Pay has stopped supporting sites that have cub porn(FA and IB), and Inkbunny choosing to continue to allow cub porn, the cubs are migrating. It'll take a long time before IB has a good ratio of non-cub art again, if they even had a "good" ratio at any time before. I define "good" in this instance as "a low enough ratio to not be considered a cub porn site first and foremost".

My stance on the Alert Pay thing: FA made the right decision, if they can't find any alternative revenue streams. I'm surprised IB is actually optimistic about staying afloat AND allowing cubby porn. If you can't accept money, you can't pay for the servers. I look forward to seeing if IB succeeds in getting a merchant account. FA tried to get one, after all, and they're obviously bigger. Still, with all the small businesses that accept credit cards, I wouldn't expect it to be as difficult as FA is saying it is. It's probably a matter of how much actual income is coming from the site. Last I knew(old data), the admins of FA don't get any income from the site, while the IB admins are selling prints there. IB seems more like a business and FA seems more like a non-profit(without the gov't status).

Oh, and for the record, I'm still checking FA MUCH more than IB. I don't see myself switching anytime soon, since the artists I watch are mostly here, and there's still more audience over here.

So Second Life has a national anthem now. Well, I do consider it to be a country of its own, as do the people who set this in motion, so sure! They're holding a contest to record the music to it at http://slanthem.com and have the lyrics available to the public. Here are the lyrics, followed by my thoughts on it:

Come avatars from near and far
to this magic shore.
Here you’re free to do and be;
Let your imagination soar.
The universe is God’s design.
This world is ours alone.
Let’s build a land much better than
the one we’ve ever known
In Second Life, In Second Life
our once and future home.

Rather short, gets the point across pretty well, but I do have issues with one line(can you guess which one?). While I'm okay with people saying that the universe is God's design, and I'm fine with you expressing your religion, but what percentage of the SL population actually agrees with "The universe is God's design"? This is supposed to represent the population of SL, after all. I'm part of a few atheist groups there(my title is "infidel"), and I'm sure there are lots of members of each major religion represented there. The fact that "God" is capitalized indicates the Jewish/Christian god specifically, too.

Now, I'm not going to ask them to change the lyrics(I'm sure plenty others will do that anyway), but I just feel that it's not representative of the SL population. I think if atheists demanded a re-wording, it would cause a huge stir and Christians would hold onto those lyrics very strongly anyway. If the lyrics stay the same, people of other faiths or no-faiths would either just not sing it or they'd sing their own versions. I think it's highly likely there will be a few submissions where the artist would sing a different line. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable stating something I don't believe.

Bride-to-be set to say 'I do' — to herself: http://t.co/jnRa8tt

I've actually thought about this for myself. This lady has gotten lots of pressure to get married, & yet, she hasn't found a suitable groom, so she has married herself! I haven't gotten any pressure to marry(yet), but as I get older, I'll at least be urged to find a girlfriend. Trouble is, women annoy me. All my options are bitches. Maybe I'll find a woman some day that's not a bitch & doesn't tell anti-male jokes(BIG turn-off, ladies!). Then there's the cost of dating. It's prostitution, really. Why must the guy pay for everything? I'm broke! I've always been too broke to date.
I may not marry myself, but it's an idea I've played with.

I just now found out that I had cybersex with a 15 year old. I like the guy quite a bit, but FUCK, if I'm gonna do something illegal I don't want it to be attached to my ACTUAL IDENTITY! Plus I'm straight. I do, however, have exceptions, like furry, and if the person's fursona isn't too "manly".
This better not end up being yet another news story of a church staff member having gay sex with a minor. I'm pretty sure cybersex with a minor with no intent of meeting the guy is still illegal.

Maybe it can be excused if it was us roleplaying as of-age... um, animals?

Today, September 9th, is Teddy Bear Day! *hugs his teddy bears!*
http://www.festivology.com/topics/teddy.html

I read Sandra and Woo, quite appropriately, and the writer recently posted a list of weird search terms used to find the comic. Funny stuff there, and I could counter with search terms used to find some of MY websites, lol. One of my sites apparently was a top result for "October" at one point. I think for a second.
Then I noticed in the "The Filthy" category, someone found the site by searching for "raccoonporn.com", with the writer's comment, "This website does not exist. Thank God!".
...now that's a site I'd frequent! Two days later and it's still not taken?!

I feel like buying the domain, except I wouldn't possibly make good use of it. I suppose I could just redirect it to my FA page, although I really don't draw much raccoon porn. I'd want to make money from it, too.


...I'm sure the owner of Sandra And Woo will find this, especially with the links. I don't care, I'm confident Novil finds crazier stuff than this, with how popular the comic is, lol. I should try to find some of that stuff.

EDIT: Well now I feel like looking for porn of Woo, but it just so happens that search is down temporarily. Like, 3-4 days. I NEVER use search on FA, and the one time I use it, blegh. Really, my watch list shows me what I want, and only shows art by the good artists. I don't need search. It shows lots of poor art anyway.

Next human that promises me dog cock or horse cock but instead shows their own human penis(via webcam or other online means), I'm offering you a chicken sandwich but instead using human butt meat. Human cocks are boring.

I decided today that I may actually just be straight, but only with the exception of furry and pedo pictures(I didn't choose to like either, and yes, I should see a psychologist about that second one). I've been considering myself bi, maybe even gay, but watching a grown man jack off just doesn't do it for me. The oldest guys I want to see naked are maybe 18, and at that point it's limited to girly bois. I'm not into muscle. And ugh, not even looking at anal.
As for women, I like them from 18 to 30(I'm 27), but they have to not be annoying and absolutely can't tell any male-bashing jokes. So yeah, that excludes every female I've ever met. Thankfully I'm quite happy being alone. Part of that might be not knowing what I'm missing, although I also know of too many dating horror stories. I've even had a married guy tell me, "Don't EVER get married!". Plus my parents have been divorced for a couple decades, so I definitely haven't seen many good examples of a successful marriage.

Maybe I should start a sex life, STD's be damned. That's my main de-motivator; disease. Plus girlfriends are expensive and I can't even afford my OWN movie tickets. And hookers? Even after all the gifts boyfriends are supposed to buy girlfriends, I think hookers might still be more expensive, although I'd at least get more.

I think my biggest turn-on is still a furry 12 year old boy without pants, covered in sugar. This does not bode well for my mom's aspirations of me eventually getting married.

It's been almost 2 months since I've posted or uploaded anything. Pth, this is unacceptable. I have many things I want to draw, and most will take no more than half an hour each, but I can't even spare that time because I'm wasting it in other ways. Having 2 identities is time-consuming, and this is the secondary identity, so it gets the hand-me-down time slots. None of which fit.

With all the male-bashing and female-bashing I experience, it's amazing the human race even procreates!
