Merry Christmas to Me - and then something else...

piper47 made me this gorgeous collage for "Paradise"

I just think it is perfect and now I really want to update my site and dammit. I should learn html. Or at least how to work Frontpages. I mean, I think my *mother* can update sites with frontpages.

In other news - so there was a Halloween Con in London for AtS and BtVS and they showed fanvids. I just heard that "Closer" was one of those vids - does anyone know anything about this at all? Anyone there? I'm a bit concerned as I don't recall ever sending a vid to London and apparently there were Jossverse people there.

I might *have* to learn html. And passwording and all that stuff I didn't want to do.

I might *have* to learn html.

You can do it! If I can learn html, you can - I can code html and I am absolutely useless. I can't even cook ramen noodles.

But can you heat corndogs, Linzee. That is the question.

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

Bwah - okay. I can fry things. But bake - I can't bake. And so if I can html, but not bake, then Sisabet can html. And bake. Maybe even html *while* baking.

Okay, sweetie, you do not *bake* ramen noodles. You pour boiling water over them, wait three minutes and stir. This *is* cooking - but not baking. Back away from the oven with the ramen.

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

Well that explains why they keep rising on me...

I don't bake them! *g* I boil them. I just tend to forget to stop boiling them and limp flaccid ramen noodles stuck to the pot really aren't as much fun as one would think.

But I believe Sisabet can't heat corndogs. Using a microwave. I have no doubt she can html. But not *while* heating corndogs. Using a microwave.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I do overcook the corndogs in the microwave, this is true.

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

Using a microwave.

We could get her a fryer? *g*

Then we could fry the ramen noodles. oh the possibilities.

Linzee

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Then we could fry the ramen noodles.

I actually do that, with eggs. Make a noodle omelette. Shut up.

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

BWAH. Well... Just as long as you don't roll them in batter first - though hey! If they fry twinkies, perhaps that'd be all the new rage?

Linzee, totally should've tried those at the fair this year.

[piper47.livejournal.com]

html = food?

Maybe this is why I can't cook.

Or html code very well.

Hmmm... ::shrug:: oh well.

Glad you liked the present, but you might not want to link directly to my journal. My LJ is locked up like Fort Knox. So all my entries are friends only. :( Which is sad... it really *really* is.

Here's just the link to the art though http://pics.livejournal.com/piper47/pic/000025d6


I'm still trying to see the correlation between html and food.... Ah well. Somethings are just not meant for me to understand. ;)

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

If that's true it sux mightily. And I guess confirms the crap I've been putting up with in terms of having a password. Doesn't stop people from using your stuff without permission, but at least it helps you narrow the culprits. ;-)

I can so teach you to set up a basic password. Trust me, if I can do it? A typing monkey can. You don't get much stupider than me, maybe Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel, but I'm not so sure about him.

[eliade.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I can't see gorgeous collage. *sulks* But I will think of elves and feel better. Pretty elves. With long silken hair and tiny feet. (Humor me.)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

That can run on snow!!!

n other news - so there was a Halloween Con in London for AtS and BtVS and they showed fanvids. I just heard that "Closer" was one of those vids - does anyone know anything about this at all? Anyone there? I'm a bit concerned as I don't recall ever sending a vid to London and apparently there were Jossverse people there.

And this same con? When they showed Whatever? It didn't bother you? *confused* Same con. *still confused* What really bugs me about this is that nobody tells us anything. (member of the "just spell my name right" group)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Was this the con where they showed "Whatever"?? I am so confused. What Con was this?? I thought Whatever was at Bascon?

[luminosity]

From the bits and pieces of info that I've been able to gather, the big London con that was held over Halloween weekend had a vid show. They showed a shitload of vids, many of which were yours and mine. However, I've only heard bits and pieces about this, and the only email I got was re Whatever--that it was hilarious and well-received by "everybody" (whatever that means). Yes, Whatever did play at Bascon. It also played at Writercon, Slayage, VVC and Escapade--hence it's living a better life than you or I.

Once those vids are out there? We have no control over who sees them. Or where. Or what. I just wish they'd let us know something. Spell my name right! dammit.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Y

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I just posted a comment of a single letter. I am just that far gone.

Okay - calming down. Yes - I know that Whatever has a better life then we do and I knew it was being shown at all of the above - but that was okay cause we knew it.

This other thing - I'm freaking out and maybe because I am just responding to a lot of doom and MORE DOOM vidder warnings I see all the time - but I CANT BE SHUT DOWN?? WHAT WILL BECOME OF ME?? WHY WON'T THEY LET ME TAKE MY LAPTOP AND GO?? SNOW AND ICE ARE COMING AND I CANNOT DRIVE IN THE DARK!

[luminosity]

Okay, if they were going to shut you down, I think it would have probably happened already. We didn't know about the Halloween Con in London, but we take this risk every time we post a vid--that someone, some well-meaning idiot--will copy them and give them to Joss or DB or JM or whoever the hell. Calmness. Breathe.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Louisville gets to go home and we don't?? WHY?


I think my freak out is fueled by the fact that I had everything under control and in a few short hours I am reminded that I control NOTHING.

Why won't they let me LEAVE? If I can't travel tomorrow I need to leave today and I need to leave now. Why does one set of employees get this option and the others don't(and dammit - Louisville is very equipped for a storm because of UPS - Lexington, Lexington will be down for DAYS).

DAMMIT - I NEED AIM AT WORK!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Wait - no - Whatever was at DragonCon. I think. Dammit - I can not tell these cons apart - they all have the same last name.

So the "mixer" that Whatever was shown at was at the London con?

I AM FREAKING OUT PLEASE CALM ME DOWN STOP MY FREAKOUTITUDE IS IMMEASURABLE STOP DO YOU KNOW WHERE I PUT CAPPY'S GIFT STOP HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO WORK STOP

[luminosity]

Cappy's gift is in a box in your bedroom, out of Sid's reach. Or else you moved it and it's next to the rocking chair, still out of Sid's direct notice.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I looked thru the stack of gifts in the rocking chair this morning and it is not there - but you are right. It might be on the dresser in my room and there is a ton of clothes on my dresser and I didn't check under them because the last time I remember wearing most of it was before I bought the present but I could be wrong. It could be there. It could.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Dude - if I had AIM at work - do you have any idea how many insane reactionary posts you could have talked me down from?

[luminosity]

I'm here for you! If, someday, you do get AIM at work, I pledge to talk you down from any ledge. PROMISE.

[renenet.livejournal.com]

I get that you can't install software. I can't do that here, either. But can you not use the AIM Express (http://www.aim.com/get_aim/express/aim_expr.adp?aolp=) thingy? It does not require that you install the software. It's functionality is limited (like, I don't think you can save chats very well if at all) and the most recent version may want java or something, but there are even older versions if your computer doesn't meet the tech specs.

[renenet.livejournal.com]

Of course, I couldn't use AIM Express on my work computer in the last job because it wouldn't let me have the java stuff installed. Picky network administrator types. So of course I just downloaded a chat client. But Trillian, because AIM was too blatant.
