Taming the Rave explains a little bout the stuff my kid has done, Ecstasy, acid, Special K, nasty brain destroying drugs. Oh, and they can kill too. Don't do drugs if you want to live and have a brain.

You can do this now but not for long cause as soon as Yahoo stabilizes eGroups here, they will go international but you can access your groups without a Yahoo ID here. Use the same email and password as you did before Yahoo.

Trying to focus on more cheery stuff, actually related somewhat to the site, I will mention this. Now, although I do have a SNES and many really awesome games, I don't own a Nintendo 64 or a Game Boy, for the obvious reasons that Square games are on the PSX. I have no intention of getting a Gamecube after reading this, or buying any Pokemon games or any more Pokemon toys. Funny, wasn't Square once a subsidiary of Nintendo?

Taking a break to enjoy myself after a rather bad week, yes, I am working. It's such a nice change from searching for drugs, and cleaning, and moving stuff while my kid lays around chatting on the phone and watching TV. Course, some nosy people, one Miss Perfect, was asking er prying is more like it into my business. Nice I don't have to see her. Rumor has it we may get a raise. Money is nice to soothe the battered soul. Least I am too busy to pay too much attention to the latest Yahoo screwup. Course, if you're on any eGroup, Yahoo is very much the current topic so you would already know it's Yahoo as usual.

One of those friends called, don't think he appreciated my asking him bout his phone messages or telling him bout why he wouldn't be seeing her. Guess it's not my place to inform them. Course, he said they all knew, had a good laugh about it. Isn't that nice, it was funny. Somehow I am not amused. It is safe to say I am less than optimistic about her behaving.

Cleaning kid's room, so far found a water pipe, a tab of either ecstasy or LSD, an unidentified pill, some white stuff, she says it sugar but laced with what, all missed by the narcs, several empty beer cans, and enough condom wrappers to make her the condom queen. She has been busy. Not done yet either. Think she's still clueless, two days after the narcs searched her room, she asked if one of her friends could come over to help clean, ie raver drug using friend who suggested she report me to CPS for abuse. Now that she's lost her bedroom (too many toys, had master bedroom), her cell phone, her computer privleges, her car, and is not allowed to drive, she might rethink that. Her other display of being clueless was asking if she could go hang out with her friends, those friends.

Trying to deal with cleaning out her room, going thru everything carefully as I go so as not to miss any more drugs, arranging counseling, etc. has been a bit of a strain. Then some idiot Navy Recruiter called for my kid. I said that I didn't think she was interested in the Navy. He said she was. I countered with that I really didn't think the Navy wanted a drug addict as she was just busted. OK, he agreed there. My mood was not the best, I was a bit snippy. Hard to be happy under the circumstances, major betrayal of trust here.

FYI, this site exist to encourage respect and tolerance for all people, particularly gays. You don't stop loving a family member cause you find out they are gay. However, this site does not encourage tolerance and respect for people possessing, using, or dealing in drugs. To make a long story short, I invited some people over to chat with my child and incidently search her room, narcotics officers. She's been busted thankyouverymuch.

Probably should sleep instead of write in my blog. This has been one hell of a bad day to put it mildly. Kid took the PSX allegedly to a friend's to play to keep her awake prior to going to work. She also spirited away her CD's, her clock radio, not that it matters that I spent thousands of dollars on the kid...oh and password protected her computer. Course I was curious why. Unfortunately I found out and am exceedingly pissed. It's a long story.

A few thoughts on Jung, ok, understanding Psychologists is helpful for a fuller appreciation of Xenogears, so here goes. Transpersonal psychology studies the fact that we transcend our limited biological self and become aware of a higher intelligence. Synchronicity is his term for meaningful coincidence. In plain English, that means God answers prayers. Sometimes the answer is no, but he does answer. ^_~

Not a whole lot new, did make a new page, robots.txt. That should keep out all those pesky search engines. For more info, I wrote a bit here. James gets the credit for explaining it so nicely and sending links except for Richard who helped too. ^_^

Interesting article, well if you've geen guilty of any of these you will find it amusing. I did. OK, so I can relate to the flame wars. Course, when I am flamed, I don't have the good sense to just keep my mouth shut. One would think that after having been in an abusive relationship, I would learn to just accept the abuse and shut up instead of responding and getting in a flame war. Maybe someday I will learn.

I was thinking, both Sephy and Vinny have had the priviledge of being uke to Pikachu. Poor Seifer though, hasn't had that pleasure. At least I haven't seen any doujinshi with that pairing. Maybe, I'll write a little fic.

Considering where this blog is located, ie on my site, and considering the site focus and the tendency for people to flame me, I have changed this to a private blog. I really should have done that at the outset. No biggie really as it hasn't gotten listed. And if you are one of those who like to flame, write harsh or condesending things about or to me, then think I won't react, ie vent, in my blog, think again. My suggestion is to stay the **** away from my site and my blog.

Well, interesting, someone seems to still be around, posting and creating a new webring to boot (jointly with another person). Actually, it's just a RingSurf version of a Yahoo WebRing I already am a member of. And although I prefer RingSurf (ring fragments are much prettier than navbars), I'm not too inclined to join. I prefer to focus on more positive stuff than another anti-Y webring. It would be amusing if the new Yahoo Groups turns out to be an improvement over the old Yahoo Clubs and eGroups. Gee, then someone may even make a pro-Yahoo webring. Now that would truely be novel. Edited to be kindler and gentler. Gee, the Blog isn't even listed and already it is being read.

Testing, it wasn't uploading earlier er now yesterday. Yes, I've been working, the kind that makes the big bucks so I can buy fun toys. I showed Gabe what Blogger is. And of course, he was impressed. My thought for the day: Bad karma may come back to bite you in the a**. The biggest news today is Ritty is having a fic contest, writing about real, as in not bishie types. Hmmmm, perhaps President Shinra/Palmer/Heidegger...that's as non bishie as I can think. Or maybe Steiner/Vivi.... *squick* Oops, almost forgot, today is George W's big day.

Since I worked, not much of interest happened that's fit for print. However, on the way home, this author of a newly published book was being interviewed on one of the local stations. The subject is porn, and when asked about the wildest place, he said, "Amsterdam." The Dutch let it all hang out, sex shows everywhere. Just imagine you and your kid pushing your grocery cart thru a sex supermarket. Guess they are rather blase bout their sex. Er not me. Some things still squick me, kids looking at sex, shota, incest except for Bart and Siggy, shota...

Yahoo Club Founders Club has piccies of what the new YGroups will look like. Yahoo Clubs will have more of eGroups functionality and bigger banner ads than currently. The new interface looks more like My Yahoo than the Clubs and looks nothing like eGroups. And [dripping sarcasm] best of all [/dripping sarcasm] you get to use a Y! ID to access the web interface.

Also, Yahoo made improvements finally to Y!WR. Of course, they still haven't fixed that little problem with the graphics showing on the wrong navbars. Yahoo is still clueless.

Psycat sent me the most adorable pic, really made my day. And on a gloomy rainy day, it is so nice to get a little fruit, er Sephiroth. Now I have to hit the books, got a lot of studying to do. OK, that means I got the players guide finally and will get around to playing FF9. Then I can get another silver tressed baddie, Kuja. And he's got the cutest little naval. ^___^

Musing on vacation spots for the winter, places where the sun shines and the weather is warm, yes SAD (seasonal affective disorder) here. Being lazy, that would be anyplace where there's a red dot on the map. Nother map and another. Course, it helps to know the language so that might limit things. And I do have a preference for the seashore, beautiful white sand beaches sound just lovely.

OK, finally got the archive fixed to match my new style. Probably wondering what Vinny is doing as the background. I adore Vinny, always have, always will so he's what you see when reading my blog. He's the one man I trust completely.

I was thinking back to that talk in church (yes I actually go to church) about the snowbirds, well winter visitors, and how they are missing out on a lot of opportunities for service by flying south for the winter cause it is nice and warm. It was pointed out that it was selfish. And it is. Course, it is selfish of us here to want the snowbirds to stay home, yes their driving skills leaves a bit to be desired. Something for me to ponder...

I'm easily amused. I find surfing all the recently updated and created blogs quite entertaining and I am just referring to the site design. There's some awesome talent here. This one I found last night is outstanding, and features Elly from Xenogears. And check out some of the previous designs. This girl's talented. And raving bout the wonderfully designed blogs is much more fun than reading my email. I had an online friend who was quite insistent I come and visit, made all kinds of grandiose plans from touring the country to sharing an apartment. I indicated a short visit to get to meet IRL would be a more prudent first visit. I guess he's been thinking it over, cause now, I got basically a "Dear John" letter. He's decided all he's willing to do is have dinner if that. And well, if I am going to fly halfway round the world, I might like a little more, a little sightseeing or something. Considering his change in attitude, there are places I'd like to go more with online friends that would do something together like Y-Con or AX or Japan.

Testing here, found a really cool looking blog and really liked the fixed background, so I messed around with this all day when not sleeping or working. It looks a little different now. Next up, making me, er go see Star Troopers. Now I know what those little people are that I see all over blogs. Suppose, it's being trendy but they are cuter than the real me IMHO.

It's so quiet, the Clubs are dead, Hunter is gone and discontent is rearing it's ugly head. Or is it that people are just aware there is life out there and would rather have a real live as opposed to a virtual life? Dunno, I just feel something is horribly wrong. Maybe it's me, probably me.

There's going to be more Tenshi, article here. That's good news for us Tenshi fans, me I like Ryoko best. And off that fun subject, I was chatting with a fellow computer geek at work who actually wanted to see my site. I reluctantly showed her, and surprise she liked it. Course, I always find stuff I like better, like this blog. Btw, it looks better in IE, doesn't everything? So far, the best part of blogging has been seeing the plethora of beautifully designed blogs. There is a lot of talent here. Must check out all the blogs.

Let's see, it's Friday, it's raining, storm hit here. Everyone's gone, well the J's are gone, that seems like everyone. I have to work so guess I'm going back to bed. No time to play on the net or the PSX or...

Testing here, now can I add pics, think so, so... ... isn't he adorable? He's Vivi, the black mage from FF9 if you're wondering.

Tired, so very tired, that's what I get for spending all day yesterday messing with this blog. What's new? A friend has a new FY site, Open Unto Infinity and for those anxiously awaiting Carrie's site redo, it has some of her beautiful art, the most droolworthy Tasuki and Chichiri pics, scans and of course lots of yaoi fics. Be warned, a blog on a yaoi site will contain yaoi stuff.
