Weblog Wannabe

A college friend sent me a picture of Satan himself. He looks like something out of an X-Files episode. ♥

I finished writing a reply to Jish and Will's emails last night and guess what happened when I was about to send out the emails? Yes, that's right! Windoze crashed, and I lost everything. Grrr!!!! ♥

Q: Why do you always post links to stupid, useless pages?
A: Because I'm tired of being smart and helpful in real life.

Q: Why do you update so frequently?
A: Because I'm always bored and I have no life.

Do you have any question about me or my weblog? Feel free to ask. I'm only an email away. ♥

Do you have a dirty mind? Take this test to find out. I only got to answer one question correctly, by the way. That's supposed to make me a pervert. Heh! ♥

Admit it, it feels good when you fart (to you anyway, not to the people around you unless they have fart fetish). Some people love farting so much that they bothered to write some poems. Farting poems, that is. ♥

I don't know if anyone would be interested in Driveways of the Rich and Famous. The most interesting part of this site in my opinion is the interview with Bill Gates' gatekeeper. The house is worth like $60 Million and the guardhouse is worth how much? "Oh, maybe five dollars!" ♥

Solid Space: your source for important information and things to tell your friends. Um, OK. The information is so important that I'd rather not to know. You've got to see it to believe it. ♥

Everyone seems to have a homepage these days. Even God Himself has His very own homepage: The Homepage of God. Amazing, isn't it? Hmmm, I didn't know that Mr. Spock was a member of God's family... ♥

I finally got around to updating my links page with more people and/or blogs that I like. If you once asked to exchange links with me, chances are your link is already there now. I'm not picky when it comes to blog links so if you want to have a link there, all you have to do is ask me. It might take awhile to have your link added as I'm the world's greatest procrastinators, but your link will be added. ♥

Riothero asks for it, so here it is: a picture of yours truly! It's actually the only picture I have where I don't look too goofy. I just couldn't afford to look goofy as the photographer charged me a fortune for this boring black&white pic. ♥

Get as many as "fortune" cookies as you want without having to go to a Chinese restaurant! Not advisable for those who are feeling unlucky, unless you really want to confirm your unluckiness. ♥

It's kinda like Kabalarians.com, only they don't try to sell you anything. Try it! ♥

Have you ever got into an argument about the right way to string the toilet paper? If the answer is "yes", then you should join The Great Toilet Paper Debate. I personally think that the paper should be strung over the front, but who am I to say? ♥

Hey, check this out: Useless.com : the least reliable source of news and information on the web. Here's some headlines from useless politics story section: "Hillary to Auction Her Eggs For Fundraising"; "Gore Admits to Being a Lesbian"; and "Bush Advocates Death Penalty for Website Operators". What the hell? ♥

I think this guy is even more desperate than Tom Arnold. I was tempted to enter the "contest" as I'm still waiting for my first date even though I'm 26, but then thought that it might not worth the trip so I decided to just forget about it. I might make myself a similar site, though. After all, I'm only slightly less desperate than him. ♥

Jordan from Digital Swirlee confirmed that there are indeed fewer people who are blogging away on the weekends. I think it's because they have something that I'm very unlucky not to have, something called "life". If they sold lives in supermarkets, I would've bought myself not one but two lives, even though one is still better than nothing.

Anyway, I've been trying to redesign this site all weekend but I just can't think of any original idea for layouts and graphics. It's not that I don't like my current layout. I just think that this layout is too childish for a 26 year old. Jordan likes this layout too, by the way. If he wasn't all that far away in Iowa, US of A, I would've sent him a real rubber ducky just to show how much I appreciate what he's done.

A simple hyperlink could mean so much more to a newbie than you could ever think possible :) ♥

I don't know how this could get into my floppy disk but I think it's pretty amusing, especially if you don't understand Japanese. ♥

Is it just me or is it normal to get fewer visitors in the weekends? ♥

Tom, you must've found the link to the Smurfalizer here. Just thought I'd let you know :) So ladies and gentlemen, I didn't quote Barbelith, OK? It's the other way around. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I've made a mental note never to put up links that I know are already in other people's blogs in my own lame blog. I must say that I love the layout of Barbelith. Such lovely colours. Wish I could design like Tom. ♥

Just in case you're wondering, I post mostly links that are oldies but goodies because about 75% of the Blogland (tm) inhabitants post just about the same links in their daily posts. I'm trying to be different here. Maybe I should change my blog title into "Stale Files" or something like that. ♥

I like Adam Mathes from blueblog because of his brutal honesty about the whole weblogging thing. I agree with most of his points. And I disagree a lot more than I agree with anyone. Yeah, I'm that much of a bitch. ♥

Read this only if you're really, really bored. Don't say I didn't warn you. I'm off to bed now. Goodnight! ♥

The Y2K has come and will be gone in, like, 10 months. Now it's time for us to concentrate on the Y5B, the Year 5 Billion, when the sun will begin to swell up and ultimately growing so large that it will engulf the Earth. Oooh, scary! ♥

Have you ever had the urge to beat the hell out of your computer? Well, before you do, do check out this page first: the Illustrated Guide to Breaking Your Computer. If I had to break a computer, I would like to do it like a pro. I'm sure you would too. It's less messy that way. ♥

This is another classic: the T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project. I came across this page years ago when I was still an internet newbie. Those were the good old days... ♥

Having a boring weekend? Well, if you have nothing better to do, why don't you check out the Great Vomit Stories of the 20th Century. You might find it, um, enlightening. By the way, are we still in the 20th century or already in the 21st? I personally think that the 21st century will begin next year so I guess you can still contribute your very own vomit story to the site if you want. ♥

Translate any web page into Smurf language using the Smurfalizer. Type in blogger.com and see what happens! ♥

Do you remember the states you've masturbated in? No? Well, it's never too late to start a list like what Mr. Thaddeus Hudson Shaugnessey has. ♥

Feeling charitable today? Why don't you nominate Weblog Wannabe for Blog of the Week? Please pretty please? :) I know I'm just a newbie but hey, newbies need love too, you know... ♥

Lightbulbs, oh lightbulbs. How many ways can I break thee? ♥

Make God happy! Join the Dan Quayle for Pope in 2000 campaign today! Well, at least that's what they say. ♥

Woohoo! Foaf quoted my blog! I must've done something right. Heh! This blog has also been mentioned in Considered Harmful as a non-American blog. Hmmm.

By the way, Will Try from W4T is a really cute British lad ;) And no, I'm not a cradlesnatcher. Duh! ♥

404 File Not Found error message can be cool. Sometimes. Most of the time, it just plain sucks! ♥

I'm a qualified librarian and I actually work for this library. Ooops! ♥

Don't you hate it when you're so in love with someone and then you finally got the courage to tell them that you love them and all they can say in return is "I just want to be friends"? ♥

Yay! Eleven Seconds linked me! Thanks, Vanessa! :) ♥

This poll shows that the best thing about dating Asians is "Laughing together over funny and bizarre incidents encountered by Asians." Huh?

Thanks for the link, Will! ♥

Hey, I just found another blog with a rubber ducky! Cool! Well, maybe not that cool but still it's cool in a not-so-cool way. Duh. ♥

This is a classic. Love letters written by the desperate people of the world. Oldies but goodies. ♥

Geek girls need love too, you know. ♥

Woohoo (again)! After searching for hours, I finally found the URL to my all-time favourite homepage, Heather Needs Men. I always forgot to bookmark it. Anyway, I personally think that Heather is fake. Let me know what you think :) ♥

Oh, I almost forgot. Meg answered my prayer by adding my blog to the big list o' blogs. Woohoo!

I seem to say "Woohoo!" a lot these days. I wonder if woohoo.com is already taken. Let's see... Yup, it's definitely taken. ♥

Is this thing real? If it was real, it would surely disappoint a lot of vampire-worshipping goths. ♥

Reading this girl's diary never fails to make me feel deeply sorry for myself for having such an ordinary life where one has to work to earn money. ♥

I like Colormix. I truly do. I wish I'd found it ages ago. It would've saved me a lot of trouble. ♥

By the way, Danny Bunny In Cyber Space is another yellow blog out there. How I love yellow!

[Ooops, turned out that the blog is this one and it's black, not yellow. But still it's a cute page :)] ♥

Caroline mentioned me in Prolific 2000! Woohoo! I wouldn't know if Danny didn't tell me about it in his email. Anyway, it was really nice to see someone with Indonesian blood having a very well established presence on the web. I've been frequenting Croon.org for a several months now but haven't been to Prolific 2000 until yesterday.

Sadly, there is no Indonesian word for weblog, Caroline. The closest to it would be "daftar alamat di internet", which literally means list of internet addresses. I'm sure weblogs are a lot more than just lists of internet addresses. Apparently, Indonesian language is not really all that rich.

Another great site by an Indonesian woman is Avocadolite.com by Thalia. Caroline and Thalia's design skills really make me green with envy. I wish I could be as artistic and creative as them *sighs* ♥

Someone sent me a gif version of my Quack! image from my splash page the other day. Cool! :) I think it was Red from Acute.org who sent it to me. I've decided to use it but I won't be able to upload it until tonight. Bummer. I wish our network had no firewall :( Anyway, thanks so much for the gif, Red! You're an angel *smiles* ♥

I'm so MAD! Just when I feel like updating my blog every 2 minutes, Freespeech.org server has to go down. Argh! I can't wait for the day when I can afford to reserve my own domain and pay for my own web space so I can get rid of all these shitty free servers. Anyway, I guess this is the perfect time to pay some tribute to a few domain owners that have refused to host me. Well, actually, I've only applied for hosting in 3 domains and got rejected 3 times. Enough proof that I'm just a web designer wannabe *sighs* Anyway, let's all pay tribute to Offcentre.net, Popsicle.org and Poetess.org, great domains that didn't find me worthy enough to host. Yes, I sincerely think that those domains are great, and no, I wasn't being sarcastic. Well, maybe I was, but only a little bit. It's 75% sincere compliment and 25% sarcasm. So there. ♥

Argh! Why can't I get my blog listed in the big list o' blogs?? Let me check. Link to Blogger.com? Yes. Junk? No. Public blog? Yes. Why, oh Blogger, why? Why can my journal get listed but not my blog? It's so frustrating. You see, the big plan is, once this blog is listed, I'm going to link this site to my actual diary in Diaryland and get rid of the the shitty Blogger powered journal with nothing in it. Pleasepleaseplease, the power that be, please list my poor blog! ♥

He's big, he's strong, he's not Hercules. He's Klumsyboy! That's a shameless plug for my lovely megalomaniac cyberbrother William who has been bugging me since 1997. I'm quite sure that you'll find him far from lovely but he's the only guy I know who's not ashamed of singing Backstreest Boys' songs out in the streets. Gotta give him credit for that. Heh! ♥

Alex wrote me a "semi-kind email" in which he mentioned that he found my blog through a link in ouch! by Tracy, who found my blog through a link in Digital Swirlee by Jordan, who found my link in the Blogger Forum where I embarrassed myself with a really stupid html error in one of my posts a couple of days ago. Isn't the internet a wonderful place? And Wren is such a sweetheart, she emailed me to wish me luck with this blog and link me in her groovy blog, Stuff and Rot. Thank you so much, guys, for making me feel very much welcomed in this big Blogworld (tm)!

Are my weblog and Kottke.org really the only yellow weblogs in the Blogworld (tm)? I find it hard to believe. I mean, yellow is such a beautiful colour. The world would be a much better place if more people love yellow. Well, maybe not. But yellow is a beautiful colour.

I didn't update yesterday because I was sure nobody would read this. Turned out that Jordan was kind enough to mention this blog in his own very neatly designed blog, Digital Swirlee. Thanks so much, Jordan! You just got yourself a devoted reader! :) And a voter too! ♥

I think I just made a total fool of myself in the Blogger Forum. What an embarrassing HTML error. I knew I shouldn't have used HTML in my post. Anyway, it's funny that you can enter the forum using your Pyra.com username and password but not with your Blogger.com username and password. Can anyone tell me in plain English what Pyra is all about? ♥

Hmmm, the javascripts for the navigation bar don't seem to load as fast as I expected. Maybe I should move this page to a faster server. The question is what faster server. I only have accounts in some free servers and they're all equally slow. Can't afford otherwise. Anyway, I hope you all have lightning fast internet access. In case you're wondering, I got the javascripts for the navigation bar above from dynamicdrive.com. I didn't write it myself. I suck at scripting. That's one of the reasons why I can never be a real geek. ♥

You see, I'm a web geek wannabe. I noticed that most real web geeks have a blogger.com account, so I decided to get myself one too just so that people would think I'm a real geek. I know, I'm pathetic. But I really, really want to be a geek. Will you teach me how to be one? Is there some kind of a dress code or something? I'm clueless, as ever. ♥
