rolling Stones article

Samantha Ronson tweeted this article awhile back but I just now found that tweet. I love that whole family.
Charlotte even had Equality buttons in her fashion show goodie bag.

Anyway....this is a sad story. Methinks the gay-straight alliances in other schools and maybe even colleges should reach out to the gay youth in this town.
Think I'll suggesst it to the few peeps I know, like my church and group or something.

rrrrghhgh

Well the good news is i got my phone back. The bad news is i'm still fighting with her hair!
Grrrrehehrhhhghdklsdhfkdhfdfhgf434454345 *headdesk**headdesk**headdesk* *headdesk**headdesk**headdesk*
It would probably be easier if i could find a picture of what i have in mind instead of trying to draw it right out of my head. Because my brain only has a vague idea.
it's an extremely volumized bob, a longish bob,like brushing her shoulders, but uber-volume poufy. I'm currently trying to hunt down some pics of Adele's hair, as it's the closest i can come. her hair here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri7-vnrJD3k
is kinda close,but i need some detailed up-close shots.
And yes I'm looking at her hair, not her boobs :p
(well... mostly at her hair... WHAT?? Not my fault she's hot!)
So I'm aiming for a poufier bob than Adele's, on a face much more angular.
Trixie's a robot, you see... so she's not supposed to look quite human.
So I'm aiming for big hair on a small head, and a body that's like a mix of Heidi Montag and a Bratz doll.
Since I don't draw that well anyway... my humans don't really look human, so I gotta really reach to make Trixie look very different.

In the Happy Things column... Mich's St Paddy's day present arrived. Squeee!!! Must post pics soon as I get all my crap transfered to the internet computer. Where does she find these adorable little green boxes that fold and look like teeny lunch pails? How did she find bracelets that actually fit my little wrists? YAY! And I really love how my charm coin says "Get lucky!" well gee that sure sounds fun! ^_^
(what? That was totally PG... totally!..... ... ...)
And oh the adorable little card. I didn't know they made them so small! And Chococat? The name makes me think of chocolate and cats, my two fave things.
Want to know something both funny and strange? i am called a cat by my dear R, because I'm forever wanting my back scratched (puurrrrrr) and so when i finally get this comic up.. you know how Dan uses a squirrel avatar to represent himself in his comic EGS? I'm gonna use a kitty avatar. Yup.. I'm gonna be a cat-girl. Laugh all you want. But I'm a night person like my kitties, I'm always wanting attention, like my kitties, and i like to sleep, and I'm easily distracted (ooo look a stringy!) but when i do manage to focus, i really FOCUS, and usually on the wrong thing! (the ball went over there, dumbass!)
Take this insanity about Trixie's hair. Does it really matter if it's not exactly as i picture it? there are other visual cues to differentiate her from the human characters! If anything poor Adele would probably be insulted to see her hair on top of a robot who has Montag's boobs and a Bratz doll's waist and blohan's overpuffed lips! Poor Adele! She's far too hot and talented to even be mentioned in the same sentence as those other two! Though to be fair Heidi Montag strikes me as more of a dumb person who might be redeemable. Blohan just strikes me as malicious. Have you noticed she's the only one who repeatedly gets caught up in these legal scrapes based on what is really just her lack of respect for others? Carjacking, driving while drunk, driving while high, clipping people while she drives, stealing, stealing on camera, stealing from the people who hire her/photograph her/date her (she even stole Samantha's vintage t-shirts then cut them up to showcase her flapjacks) Just... no respect! No remorse! We're in The Tango Lindsay at this point. Same shit different day. Take away her license and forget her. She's a menace on the roads.
So my deepest apologies to Adele for even mentioning her in the same sentence.

Anyway i got sidetracked again (stringy) and got overly focused on the wrong thing (dumbass!)
So... my comic... it's intended to be mostly comedy. A more PG rated comedy tho. No nudity, I refuse to draw nakedness. But lots of innuendo, allusions to adult activites, jokes about sex and possibly a bit of social commentary on sexism while I'm at it. There will be a bit of me poking fun at the gay community, since I'm part of it I'm allowed to do that. lots of excuses to mention Samantha Ronson, cuz I'm a drooling fangirl. Probably mentions of Charlotte, since i drool over her too (I'm so bad) I'm tentatively saying it's more PG-15 or so, based on which of my younger siblings i'd even remotely consider showing it to. I'm a South Park fan, after all.
And I've stayed up way too late again. If i got my ass up when the sun was up, I've noticed that i feel more energetic and actually might get shit done!

i miss blogging from phone

@ Mich- nope the sugg sell item is chocolate. kitkats and reeses and fast breaks. And gum, but the gum's almost twice as much.

Mom's got the damn TV playing and an SVU episode is on dealing with a poor bullied 8 year old, bullied because her parents are lesbians, and the 8 year old snapped and stabbed the biggest bully in the back after he cornered her, grabbed her hair, tried to kiss her, and cut her hair off.
Well the damn lawyer for the homophobic grandparents just bulled the one surviving lesbian mom on the stand about keeping the girl in that horrid homophobic RomanCatholic school, and he got her to admit she'd made a huge mistake sending the child to the best school that area had to offer.
What really sucks having to choose such a school, because the state of some public schools is horrid, and that if you want your child to learn to read you sometimes have to choose between sending your kid to a religion school or sending her to some inner-city school like the one i went to, where gunshots happen and water mains break and airport-style metal detectors make yearly appearances.
The good news is the episode ended with the surviving mom, who was not the biological mom, getting the little girl. But both mom and girl were scarred from bullying not just from that evil boy, but also from his school, from the biological mom's homophobic parents, and even from the legal system. Unfortunately the biological mom died in the hospital. I'm not sure from what.

SVU stores are well-written, I admit that. The problem is they're true to life enough that my blood boils. The rape episodes give me flashbacks and the gay-rights ones make me shake and cry with flashes of homicidal rage.
It's best for me to not watch them.
I wish i could be doing this upstairs.. but the cellphone people decided to be assholes and shut my service off for being late for last month's payment. Mind you, THIS month's payment isn't due til the 14th and they cut me off on the 7th.
Which means i had to mail a check in order to pay it, cuz I usually pay from the handset and they turned me off just when i was going to pay them.

My car got very sick.... $1200 of damage and change. i was waiting til another check passed before paying the cell bill. Guess i waited one day too long?
Because I'm only one month behind. I accepted the late fee they slapped me with. I just wanted to avoid overdraft charges. Overdraft fees are usually much larger than late fees.

The real pisspoint is cellphone people cut me off halfway thru a service cycle... this cycle doesn't end til the 19th. So when next month's bill comes, how much you want to bet I'll be charged for the full 28 days of service when i only got about 18?
Here's hoping my check hits them soon. I hate not having a phone.

i found a new interview of Samantha Ronson-
http://ladygunn.com/music/samantha-ronson

I admire how she doesn't pretend to be someone or something she's not. She didn't grow up poor, and she knows she's had some advantages. But she also has a work ethic. She's also clean. Which i actually knew.. because her every move was being tracked, and depending where you go on the internet, her every move still is being tracked. Those obsessive fans of blohan still track Samantha around, either trying to pin all of blohan's crimes on Samantha or hoping "rohan" is secretly back together.
Samantha is not a drug user. She'd have been caught, the way blohan had that video of the "interesting" transaction on the street. i have a link to it somewhere.
Back to Samantha...
I never grew up poor, but I’ve been supporting myself since I was twenty. I haven’t taken a penny from my parents since then. Growing up, if we wanted more than our ten dollars a week allowance, we had to get a job. My mother wasn’t down with us being spoiled little rich kids. I’d borrow money from the other kids in class because my mother gave us enough money to get us out of trouble, but not enough money for us to make any trouble.

I feel like I’m such an easy target [in the press], and people just love shitting on me. I don’t respond to people because it just gives them what they want—attention. Do you know how hard it is to take the high road for so long? Because of it I’ve had eczema, panic attacks, I used to even get nosebleeds …
Poor girl. I still haven't sent that fanletter. I'm a bad fan. Seriously.. I've been working on this fanletter for what... 2 years now? Is my letter gonna take as long as her album? That is not cool! A fanletter is nowhere near as complicated as an album! i'm a bad fan!!
Here's another funny quote:
Since this is for our Obsession Issue, what was your first obsession? My Little Ponies. I had so many of them. I even had the Paradise Estate ones.
HAH! So Mich and The Littlest Ronson have something in common!

With the business being the way it is these days, I didn’t want to ever put myself in a position again where I was basically stuck with someone else for a whole record, where you have no control of the product. So after meeting with different labels, I decided to put out the record myself. I spent every last dollar I had putting the team together and making the record. It was literally a money pit of life. I feel like Tom Hanks!
This is her dream. And after her first album was buried thanks to her then-producer being bad with money and Rocafella went belly-up.. I can understand why she decided to do it herself.

This is what pisses me off about the "music industry"
The artists aren't allowed to own their songs!
She had to put her album out herself.. otherwise it could have been stolen from her just like her last one was. She mentioned in an interview video she did for HelloGiggles that Def Jam owns all the songs for her first album that should have come out back in 2004 or so. What the flying fuck? SHE WROTE THEM!! And someone else owns what she wrote?

Go the self-publishing route. Always always. It's more expensive but you get to keep what you wrote.

Wow she has such dreamy eyes. Even as her eyes get little smile wrinkles around them (smoking is bad, mmkay?) she still has dreamy eyes. Snappy and expressive eyes. And when you actually manage to catch her in a genuine smile (which is like playing Where's Waldo..) those dreamboat eyes absolutely glow.
Ok stop being a drooling fangirl... she's with Erin Foster now and she's clearly very happy and Erin is good for her because she's looking great, better than i've seen her look in a long long time. here's hoping Erin gets her to quit the cancer sticks!

Damn i gotta get off my ass. i owe Mich a Rohirrim theme on my viola, and I also want to arrange some of Samantha's songs.
i also need to get back upstairs and get back to work making comics.
You wanna know what my problem is? Trixie's hair. I've got the first two comics, crappy to be sure, but done and awaiting transfer to the internet computer and conversion to jpg.
But i have no banner. Because my banner plan requires the main character's headshot. And I am having a devil of a time getting her hair to look even remotely right.
And I'm annoyed at myself.
So i stall.
And stall.
And stall.
And seems there's a law & order marathon on, and you notice how crime shows tend to start with the victim, usually female, being brutally assaulted?
I need to go back upstairs. Maybe give that hair another go.
Blaugh.


ETA: just did an internet search on some talk my coworkers were saying when i worked sunday night... seems there was a shooting near my gym earlier that week.
news says: it was tues night, the victim was leaving the gym and was shot at by a skinny black male. The shooter shot, the victim ran, then the shooter ran. no one was hurt.
i know it happens cuz a coworker was there and shots were heard, and someone ran inside the store yelling "CAll 911!" and when I next worked, a number of customers talked about it, including a mid-30s black woman who was in a car with her husband when the shots were fired.
I'm wondering if this was either a blown robbery attempt aimed at the victim.. or... the shooter was running away from robbing one of the other stores in the area. My gym is located in a strip mall of sorts. There's a lot of stores there, including a Smoke Shack (cigarettes, makes it a likely target) and auto parts and like 3 discount reseller stores (dollar stores etc) , a sit down restaurant and 2 fast food places.
I think if I go back... it'll be during daylight hours only, at the times i'd expect the "businesspeople" the "normal people" to go. Meaning between 8am and 5pm on weekdays only. I've done that before and there is a surge around 1pm that ends at a bit after 3, as if peeps work out during lunch breaks. And then again briefly after 5 to about 7. There's probably a surge in the early morning too, but like i'm gonna get up that early ^_^

bleurrghhh.......zzzzz

So I went thru the extra steps to check the other gmail on my phone. The reply I got specifically said Adsense was ok. Yay!

My other question was about parked domains. I want to snatch up two more domain names, althernate ways of typeing my comic's website....basically to prevent cybersquatting on those domains. I know I'm being paranoid but having my stuff disappear so often when I was younger has made me think this way. Can't help it.
The plan I'm on won't allow more than one domain. Not even if it's just parked.
Sooooo...I need another way to register those domain names as belonging to me.
Ideas?

Work sucked today, as usual. It's reset time, and I chose what I thought would be a simple reset. Only 6 feet. But whoever designed this thing is a moron. Items were too tall for the shelves so several times I had to clear the shelf and adjust the height. Again.
It slowed things down a lot.
Combine that with the general womanlies discomfort and I was not a happy camper.

Got the stupid sugg sell for the day. Sometimes it feels like God is really watching out for me that way. I've been getting the minimum every day lately, sometimes without even asking. I'm glad to avoid being written up for that day. But a part of me is still wanting to leave. I have to remember that i'd start at minimum wage at a new job. The current job does pay me like 10 or 15 cents more than min wage just because I've been there for a few years.
That place makes me so tired. The more time I spend there, the less energy I have for anything else. Need so much sleep afterwards.
My teeth hurt. And since it's been like 4 years since I've seen a dentist, this is probably bad. Although considering it's been 4 years, it's probably a miracle I've lasted this long.

it's the most disgusting tiiimmmee...of the monnnnttthhhh....

Two days ago my resolve broke and I got into the chocolate. Today I started bleeding. Guess I should pat myself on the back for fighting the pms cravings as long as I did?
Mmmmm chocolate....
I wrote hostgator asking about adsense but haven't been on computer since then to check for a response. And I've got blogger on autologin on my phone so getting into the other gmail from my phone would be a headache since google now crosslinks all its sites. I also asked about parked domains. I'd like to have what I'm betting will be the 2 most common mispellings of my site aimed at my site. Does that sentence make sense?

Basement flooded again. A cig butt got into the sump pump and burned out the motor. Uncle owes us money far as I'm concerned. Dryer was buzzing for no reason, so it might be damaged. And hot water heater had something happen. No one's told me what happened, just that we have no hot water. And my car's still in the shop so I can't go to the gym and use their showers.
So I am not very happy right now.
I very much want to have uncle flogged and then make him buy us a new washer and dryer and a new water heater. At least the sump pump was still under warranty.

Not sure what else to say...womanlies making me tired. Sugar crash isn't helping. Had to work today. Working Sunday too. (Wait it's Sunday now huh? Cuz I fell asleep mid-post)
Mom's annoying me. Ok so since I didn't go to school this term I kept the tuition money, which is how I'm gonna pay for my car. Mom wants some money out of me. Since I live here too I'm not that annoyed.
What annoys is that she's nagging me both about money *and* about going back to school. The only reason I have any money at all is because I *didn't* go to school. So nag me either about school or about money. Pick one, damn it!
I'm going back to bed.

my poor car!

Sooo after my Mom borrowed my car without permission and drove it all over the fecking place... THEN it finally went to the mechanic and i got a call today saying that he's amazed the car made it to him in one piece. A belt was snapping so loose it nearly demolished the engine. A number of screws were so loose they were not functioning. He wouldn't even test drive it.
Mind you.. Mom was certain it was just a bad sensor.. I KNEW it was something worse and i refused to drive it more than 2 blocks. it if had been warm enough to walk to work, I would have.
She nearly murdererd my car!

So my baby is in the shop til sometime next week. It's a 1994 so he doesn't have some of the parts. And I'm looking at almost $600 bill. Sigh.

Also.. I totally need to hide my spare key. No borrowing my car without telling me. And if the engine light is on, no borrowing my car at all

In other news... Mich is starting to sell mugs to raise funds for her kiikii (spell check actually suggested kike there.. i thought that was a Bad Word?) and I totally want like 4 of them, the OCD one, Mornings, Technologically Challenged, and Adventures in Babysitting.

But it's gotta wait because of my car bill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri7-vnrJD3k
ADele singing Set Fire to the Rain live... damn she's good. The mark of a true singer is singing live. i know her vocal style isn't for everyone, but I do happen to like most of her work and i have a hell of a lot of respect for her pipes.
I also love how she seems to be having fun up there... she seems GRATEFUL for her fame, you know? It's nice to see that.
Nice figure too *blush*
And this song is definitely my fave of hers. I need to stop listening to it. This is not a song that inspires thought about my comic. Need to get Samantha's album on my bedroom computer. Some songs of hers put my comic in my head. Other songs put other stuff.. but yea. Music puts thoughts in my head. And somehow i got fecking writer's block wtf? Before the comic is started? I mean I got outlines for the first 3 already, just gotta get off my lazy ass and draw from my script.

I have been 99% good about no chocolate during Lent. I haven't eaten any that i bought. I have been given a few pieces, and i did eat those. Would have been rude not to, as they were basically waiting to see if i liked it (I did, muchly)
But Valentine's candy went 75% off and i stocked up. Got like 5 or 6 heart shaped boxes in my room.. and haven't touched them.
Ohhh i want to.
BADLY.

Told myself "no no.. gotta either be bleeding or post-Easter"

And i feel a little guilty just for the womanlies excuse.

Meanwhile i got a lot of hard candies that I've deemed ok, because they're not chocolate. Sweet tooth addiction? Me? nah... *hides*

that straight girl I have a crush on has a voice similar to Adele's, could probably cover her songs. She also has a similar build to Adele.. is there a connection?
Also.. both are hot ^_^
Moving on... I'd like to hear my crush try one of Adele's songs.... but the last time I tried to record her band i not only screwed it up royally (only the drumbeats really recorded) but dumbass me also had the light on for almost half the first song *facepalm*

Instrument-wise, Rolling in the Deep would probably be easier to pull off. I know she has drums and guitars and piano, well keyboard, so the only thing she'd need to dig up would be some backup singers who were female. And no I'm not volunteering for that :p
Set Fire to the Rain requires a small string orchestra.

And someone other than me should record it and throw it on youtube.

Let's end on some Ellen and Portia cuteness :)
well technically just Ellen but she talks about her wife and .. this is just cute:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB6Ec_Wda0Y

i adore those two.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eMMEARGxuk
Ellen's just a sweetheart.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYA8BPzygIw
and ofc that's Ellen w Sharon Stone.. they did a bit in the If These Walls Could TAlk 2, and yea it was kinda steamy. I think I read somewhere that poor Ellen had to get a bit drunk for it.
