Do we not speak of love because its meaning has become lost in endless songs and movies that hide its truth in platitudes or do we not speak of love because we fear the repercussions and pain of loss?
So, after reading ironstein's recent post and summing up my own experiences, I've got to ask the world: have online personals actually worked for anyone personally or someone they've truly met? I keep reading these fantastic stories, but have yet to see myself or anyone around me brought into the blossom of long-term romance via such a thing.

Can't speak for personals but I did meet am awsome person right here on SG. Viva la Internet! 
For the past five years I have been the self-titled Two Date King and in my kingdom I ruled alone. Mostly. In my relatively small social circle, the population of single females is small enough that I can count the number of these rare beasts on one hand--with missing fingers. So, I relied on things like personals and bar meetings to meet people. These methods...

Nothing wrong with being "over-picky". This is someone you intend to swap bodily fluids with. Very important stuff lol.
Glad to see that the hand might get a bit of a break haha. Good luck with that.

So, lollapalooza has been cancelled. This is my fault, you know. It's the first year that I actually wanted to go. I mean, Morrissey, PJ Harvey, The String Cheese Incident and Wilco all in one place? ...I'd ask who wouldn't want to go, but it seems like it's just about everyone but me.
ironstein:
What can I say??? Shit happens just doesn't seem to sum it up.
Keep you plans till last minute, next year lol.

I was reading Diesel Sweeties, as I'm wont to do, and he brought up this Wired Article regarding sprite-based comics. Essentially, he said there should be a differentiation between a hand-drawn comic and a comic which relied on an external source of art. The below is my [slightly edited] e-mail to him. ...Don't fret--he asked for peoples' thoughts!

Thanks for the compliment on my poem. 
Love your profile pic by the way. I have a thing for Jesus art.

Agree - I have a preference for the likes of Larson - drawings aren't great to any degree, but have enough information to convey the witty punchline. It's mostly in the message - not how pretty the "vehicle" is lol.
btw - all my work is in oils - love the texture side of the work - which seems to be extremely difficult to achieve with Acrylics (or maybe I was doing it wrong haha)

For every "journal" entry I add, SG mocks me for my lack of friends and I am unable to convince it of my freedom from the conventional.
ironstein:
Dont cave in. haha. "They" are probably just punishing you for being away for so long.
Great sense of humour too dude. Never thought of Orange Crush lol. What is wrong with me.

Got back from two weeks in the rediculously hot and humid city (ne, swamp) lands of Houston. My step-brother, who is three years my junior, was getting married. Houston would be a decent place if it weren't for the crap freeway system and weather. ...And the fact that everyone is now asking me when I'm going to enter a solid relationship.

a year later and i'm back at sg. it was missed, and so were you.
I know I'm just going to come out sounding like a total ass with this post, but if I don't say it somewhere I'll probably go a little crazy(er).
So, I've been scanning through this page called RealSims, which contains pictures and data of people who play the Sims Online. The majority of these people are either posers, rednecks or fat middle-american housewives. And, yes,...

Look at that... got a birthday message and I never even knew until more than a year had passed. Shame on me and thanks, Opahl! 
Once again in the chicagolands winter backhands spring like a parent with an uppety child and loose morals. The landscape is powdered with a fine white snow and people are forced to bundle themselves up. Less than a week ago they were wearing shorts.
I think I like the idea of the cold, though. And not just because coats and jackets give me more pockets...
