My journal is primarily friends only. If you would like to be on my list and read my locked updates, please drop me a comment below and I'll probably add you if I already know you. I write a good amount of personal stuff here, so I prefer to keep my list fairly small.

About me: I'm a freelance graphics and webdesigner, computer geek, music lover and fangirl. I love all kinds of music, Lord of the Rings and American Idol and I'm usually preoccupied with various things relating to pop culture. My interests are too numerous to fully list, but I'm open to just about anything and love to explore new things. I maintain several major websites and I love just about anything having to do with computers.

About this journal: I've kept this journal for nearly a decade, though I routinely put much of the outdated stuff on private. I post everything from deep, personal reflection and day to day life to fictional writing, graphics posts and chatter about my various fandoms...pretty much whatever I'm feeling at the time. I tend to be more than a little verbose, horribly sappy at times and obsess like a fiend over the things I love most, but I try to keep things interesting.

My five year old modem finally gave out last Wednesday, so I've been without internet access since then.

Thanks to my Kindle, I was able to update twitter a couple of times (after numerous tries) and check my e-mail. Other than that, I've spent the past few days doing quite a bit of reading, cleaning, watching movies and passing the time until BellSouth shipped me a new one.
Of course I missed being online. I'd be the last person to try and say I'm not at least somewhat dependent on the Internet. But it certainly wasn't terrible... actually gave me the time to catch up on a lot of other things I needed to get done and made for a relaxing break overall.

Amazing how much stuff piles up after a few days without access though. As much as I'm relieved to be connected again, I almost need a to-do list just to catch up on everything I've missed. My inbox is crammed, there are tons upon tons of updates at all of the sites I regularly frequent. Even my Google reader is a little overwhelming. 638 RSS posts after only five days? I guess I really don't realize how much I keep up with when I'm checking in there several times a day.

Also have some serious web work to catch up on, crucial downloads to grab, folks I need to check in with...
I'll get back up to speed on everything soon enough, I'm sure. Just need a couple days to do it.

But damn, I'm glad to be back online. And the best part of all? My Internet connection is literally twice as fast as it was before, which is beyond awesome.

... since I made any fan videos. I think the last one was a year ago, right after David Cook won American Idol.
I should make more time for it like I used to. I always forget how fun and relaxing it is and how much it inspires my creativity, just arranging and blending music and video clips. Rather time consuming, but usually very soothing.

Not so much with this one though, it just gave me a raging libido instead. I think this would qualify less as some innocent fan video and more gratuitous porn. Good thing too, that's exactly what I was going for. heh

I'm really liking the results, even though I'd like them a lot better if YouTube wasn't so notorious for butchering quality. The HQ version is still beautiful though.
