I make things way more complicated than they need to be sometimes. I've always known this, and lately I've been searching for the simple solutions. Why did I have four different email addresses? I only need two: one for work and one for my personal life. And that's what I'm working toward now - I started up a new GMail account that's going to be ( Read more... )

...You are now MINE! Farewell to rageistruth, a username that served me well for over a decade. But the simple truth is that I'm not nearly as angry as I once was and I'd been wanting a change for quite some time.

You all remember where "Why so serious?" comes from, right?

Change has been on my mind a lot lately. For this journal in particular, I think it's time I gave it a new name. There's a specific username that I really want (no reveal yet; don't want to jinx it) and I had the opportunity to get it a few years ago, but I was too slow. Instead someone else swooped in and got it, and then never even posted a ( Read more... )

Remember back in 2010 how I gave up eating chips for Lent? I decided to try and do the same thing, but for a full year this time. So on December 31, 2010, I had some Combos with my dinner (a Publix sub). And that was it... The challenge was on at midnight ( Read more... )

Wait! The billboards, and thus renowned nutjob Harold Camping, were WRONG!?

I checked out the new trailer for Green Lantern over on Yahoo! Movies earlier today. Here's the video from YouTube:

I built my current desktop computer back in January of 2008, and you know that for us geeks, any system over three years old is obsolete. Though this PC might be an exception; it's been the best one I've ever built... Of course, it could just seem that way because before I built it, I used an incredibly crappy Compaq ( Read more... )

Linkin Park has always been somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know technically, they're classified as hard rock or even nu-metal. But really, I think of them as pop metal. True metalheads would probably laugh at us for listening, then go back to headbanging to their Slayer or whatever... But hell, they write catchy songs and I dig 'em ( Read more... )

I've been away from LiveJournal for a little over a month now. I can't really explain it... I just felt the need to unplug for a little bit. With all the other social networking stuff permeating the Net these days (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), I was becoming overloaded. Just needed a little break!

I also have to admit that leanasidhe's passing hit me pretty ( Read more... )

Well the Take It Off, Tallahassee weight loss challenge ended last Friday - I just haven't been in the proper mood to update this journal since then. But I did well! Thanks to a final push (and the fact that I was able to do my last weigh-in naked), I lost a total of 19 pounds over the ten weeks. My family, Heather and her family, and a bunch of ( Read more... )
