01 Geek's life (385) Not a surprise AT ALL, seeing how most of the thigns I like are connected to computers. Geek for life, yay... XDDD

02 Kai/Gamma Ray (228) Hey, they're the most AW-SUM band with the slut... most talented (*cough*) singer ever ^^

03 Personal (219) I guess if there's a place where I tell it all, it's LJ. Emotional striptease, anyone? O.o

04 Pic(spam)s (210) No matter how uch of an auditory person I am, I still love me some visuals every now and then!

05 Teh intarwebs (198) A.k.a. my living room *lol*

06 Family (197) Let's face it: I miss them, no matter how muchs hit they've been flinging at me.

07 Meme/Quiz (188) The thing we all do when we don't have anything interesting to say. Hang on... *rofl*

08 Kai (161) Kai Taschner, that is. One of the most wonderful people I've ever met.

09 Weird stuff (132) Ahahaha... O_O;;;

10 Shopping (118) Oh dear. So much for moolah... ;)

Hope everyone had a nice and peaceful Christmas. I sure did =)

So, I got 50€ from my parents, that's why I just extended my Paid Account to October 2009 ^_^
My max userpics increased by 2 to 121, which is pretty nice.

I also ordered this jacket, which I've been after for months, but never seemed to have the money left to actually get it ;)

4chan is being attacked by another wave of spam Ugh -_-

More about my presents and the three days of Xmas once I get around to actually writing something up ^_^;;;

Finally, have a longcat!



(Tenchi. He's a BIG kitty O.o)

Did a bit of fiddling.
Not sure if that's the final version, but at least I changed the most important parts.
And it certainly needs anohter spellcheck, I surely made lots of typos because I was in a hurry... Ah well, tomorrowÄs another day!
Damn, that's the first real update I made on there in the last two years ^_^;;;

I just bought twelve months of Paid Account and Extra Userpics.
Yeah, I know. So wrong. But I just missed all the VIP stuff so much ;_;

Also, I'm back. Um... hi :D

Actually, I've got TONS of news, but I'll put off spamming you all until tomorrow. Look forward to it... or not ^^

Totally unrelated, but anyway.
I've been watching speedruns all day (from here, if you're interested at all). One of them was of the orginal "The Legend of Zelda" on the NES. I've beaten it on the original console but back then, I didn't know about this so I couldn't have noticed.
When the credits came up I noticed that KONDO Koji, the music composer (that's the guy who created the famous Hyrule overworld theme and all the other amazing Zelda tunes) is credited as KONCHAN.
Awww :3

... god, I'm such a nerd. And the fact that I just spent two days converting a bunch of NES and SNES soundtracks to put them onto my iPod doesn't make it any better ^^;;;

Finally... damn, it's good to be back *huggles everyone*

Everyone concerned about their privacy should read this.
Geez, LJ... this new "feature" doesn't sound good to me. It's more a means of spying on people than anything else. And the fact that it's turned on by default and you have to shut it down by yourself is just... evil. I'm sure 98% of LJ users have no idea about this and might never find out. "New Explore Area" my ass. "1984 Area", more like >:|


Before I report some more stuff from the Who/Kai category, I'll do last week's thefridayfive because I couldn't really relate to this week's questions.

01. What types of portable audio devices do you use?
Jack, my black sixth generation 80 GB iPod Classic. I love him so much =)

02. What format of music do you listen to most often?
Apart from the .mp4s I buy at iTunes, I usually convert everything to mp3.

03. How do you get your electronic music files? (pay service [i.e Napster, iTunes, eMusic, etc.], file sharing, artist/label web sites, etc.)
iTunes, rips from my own CDs, file sharing.

04. What type of headphones do you use?
Sony MDR-E819V. I own two pairs, one for Jack, one for Rick (my laptop). The bass on those things is awesome! Too bad I've only ever seen them in wholesale stores.

05. What is currently on your portable music player that you are using? (Post artist, album title, please.)
Everything, actually. And believe me, you wouldn't wanna scroll through the whole list ;)

Am using Deepest Sender now.
Too bad it doesn't support crossposting. What's worse, the people behind it are not planning to implement it because they think it's mainly being used to spam people and abuse the servers. Uh... reality check, pls? =_=
Anyway.
More copy/paste, but at least, this time, it's fully integrated within Firefox (which, of course, includes the same awesome crash recovery function) and has a much nicer interface. Cold be worse ;)

Also, the latest iPhone goings on once again put me off of my iPod plans - hopefully, for a long time.
So, they cut the price by one third after just six weeks. And now, they give out $100 coupons for their own shop? Pardon my French, but that's just fuckin' insane.
The media say that this is a half-assed solution. Well, I disagree. It's not even quarter-assed.
Heck, by giving out $100 coupons, instead of apologizing to their customers who have effectively been betrayed, all they do is earn more money. Didn't it occur to them that after this, many people will never want to buy an Apple product again?
Amusing fact: Something very, very similar happened to Nintendo in the late Eighties, but that's beside the point.
I know, many of you own and love Apple things. Which is okay and I respect that. But I don't support them in the slightest, and hopefully, never will.
I'm just writing this to clarify that my opinion about them is not something like blind hate, it's the way they do things that pisses me off again and again.

Strikethrough/Boldthrough07 revisited. Hilarious!

Potato chips
A very beautiful, encouraging article for all writers too read. Too bad I'm rather immune against these kinds of things XD

Why do germans ban all the games? Let me explain.
3r0t1c n3rd accurately describes the situation in our goddamn country. Too bad his language has a tendency to be a bit sub-par ;)

What Your Pizza Reveals

There are no limits to your eating. You often devour the scraps your friends can't finish. You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US. You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices. You are cultured and intellectual. You should consider traveling to Vienna. The stereotype that best fits you is stoner. You're a little wacky in the head, even if you don't touch drugs.

Message from JF staff:

Oops. I realize now, that you would get your confirmation email sooner if I actually clicked "Send" on the message, huh.

*palm-to-forehead* Sorry about that!

What cute. forgetful people. I like them *lol*
Actually, I'd already found out myself. I kept checking my userpics page, and suddenly, it said "Currently uploaded: 1 out of 500". That was my payment confirmation ;)
So. I've got a Paid Account at JournalFen now. That doesn't mean I'm abandoning this place, mind you. I'll just be doing without 100+ userpics and the fancy layouts. Which is okay. Otherwise, I'll be updating, reading and responding like always. I just felt it was an appropiate reaction to Strikethrough/Boldthrough07 and everything LJ/6A did and said.

I also spoke out on pay_no_more (here), just because.

Two days ago, I backed up my entrie LJ to three other services that use the LJ engine.
I used LJsec, which worked perfectly fine (see here and here for more info about how to do this).
For the time being, I'll be crossposting my entries to all four journals (look here to find out how to do this using Semagic, feel free ask me if you don't understand any of it ^^).

My backup journals are thus: are as follows:
jessybxx@IJ
jessybxx@GJ
jessybxx@JF
Creative choice of account name, eh? XD
I know they still need tweaking and profiles and user icons and such, but I'll work on that once I'm back in the country next week ^_^;;;
Feel free to friend me if you use one (or more) of those journaling sites, I'll add you back in an isntant ^_^

I'm not leaving teh ElJayz yet but since my paid account will run out in about four weeks, I'll "vote with my wallet" (as screwthedaisies so nicely put it) by not giving LJ/6A any more money. No wai, peepz >:|

... right now, I have a heckload of smelling plant powder mixed with half a liter of lemon juice in my hair, which is additionally wrapped with plastic wrap and a towel.
It's scorchingly hot today and I'm supposed to leave this stuff on there for hours. Well, seems I chose the best possible day to do this. Not.
Considering the circumstances (the fact I've never dyed my hair myself, that I'm dead clumsy and terribly short-sighted), I think I did it rather well. I'll need to do a few things a bit differently next time (a bit more fluid into the henna, also, a bit more hanna cuz 100 grams cut thigns awfully close) but voerall, I'm kinda satisfied with my performance *lol*
However, I don't even wanna begin thinking of all the ways in which this could still go wrong O_O
*ignores for now and continues researching the LJ issue and playing around with the clone services*
