"We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,
We can't help but wonder what all of this means.
With mouse in hand ...we roam through this maze,
On an infinite search...lost in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
At times we'll band together to gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
Soon friendships are formed - but - why we don't know,
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we'll flirt,
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell,
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to our 'puters ...and to those we can trust.
Even though it sounds crazy...the truth still remains,
Most of my ""friends"" have no faces...and odd little names."

7. I also had dream that I met the actors who played on Knotts Landing
Decided to change up my little morning thing. It was getting a little boring because I was wearing the same type clothes and doing the same things and always wishing for the same things."

Lovely, I went to my hosts site when I got home. Their servers were hacked. Their was a nice little message on their main page saying. This site was hacked by so & so. I will fix the bug I have placed on your server if you will pay to me $500. Email me at so & so.
I can only hope he didn't hack into all of the sites they host. I have three sites hosted with them."

"I didn't feel like getting out but I had to mail a book I had sold. Coming back I reached the East center. I saw that my new boyfriend was driving the downtown bus. I get on the bus. Everyone gets on all of a sudden a man in the back went down. Mr. Beautiful calls into dispatch. I have a 911, a man just passed out on my bus. I'm looking at the man and I immediately know he's more than passed out. I didn't want to overstep on anyone but I said. He's actually unconscious. He said, he is. I said definately. So he calls back to dispatch and we sit and we wait and wait. No supervisor shows up, no fire, no ambulance. He calls back again. I'm waiting for someone to get help to me. They said, is your bus broke down sir. No, I called about 15 minutes ago and reported that a man had passed out on my bus. I'm sorry, I don't know anything about that. I'll get you some help out.
Fifteen minutes, not waiting for fire and rescue but waiting for someone in disptach to call 911. I said I have training I could see if I can do something. He said, that's ok they've got rescue on the way.
In the middle of all of this Eddie called my cell phone. I had it on vibrate and with all the commotion and noise I missed him. He left a message playfully barking at me that he called, he wanted to talk. It wasn't his fault if I didn't answer."

"Leave it to me to leave off the rest of the story.
When the Paramedics arrived they found the guy had been stabbed. Apparently he had gotten into an argument, someone stabbed him and he got on the bus like nothing had happened."

I was coming back today and saw E heading in my direction. I quickly ducked out of sight and when I looked up he was standing at the pay phone. I figured he was about to make his daily call to his wife but I saw him reach for his wallet and suddenly I realized he was about to call me.
So there I was scrambling to get my cellphone out of my backpack before it rang. I'm watching him trying not to laugh. It rings and just as I said hello he happened to turn and see me. We only about a foot away from each other. He said I was lucky I answered because he wasn't going to try again. He had called four times and all he got was my voice mail."

"T-Mobile has my account so screwed up. I had year contract that was to expire in Feb. I contacted customer service in Jan to ask if my contract would automatically renew. They informed me that it would not renew unless I specified for it too.
Feb comes, I decided to give pre-pay a try for a month. Signed up for pre-pay found it was too expensive. March came I went shopping around to see if I could find a cheaper plan with low minutes. By this time Voice Stream had changed over to T Mobile and they now offered different plans. I signed up for one last week. My new phone is one it's way.
Today I get a bill from them for my old phone number. The account did automatically renew. Perhaps by chance if I don't call and set up the new service the contract won't be activated. I'll probably end up having to call and straighten the whole mess out."

"I woke up with the chickens this morning. I stopped to see Eddie.
He said, you haven't told me. I want to know. What's wrong with your heart.
I said, it's broken. Don't you remember, you broke it.
Very funny, now what's wrong with it.
It's broken.
So put some tape on it."
2003-03-12 12:28:22
,Wouldn't you know the phone arrived the same day as my bill. I have 14 days to return it without be obligated to the contract. The point is I want the contract. I just want my old one cancelled. I emailed customer service and explained things. Hopefully they can get it straightened out.

I need to get a resume written up today. This is going to suck because I haven't worked in so long I can't remember exact dates. This is going to suck because it's hard to explain to an employer why their was such a lengthy absence. This is going to suck because few people want to hire someone who has not had steady employment.

Iwould love to strangle my old vet about now. I got a card in the mail yesterday from my old vet. They wanted to remind me that my dog who died was due for her shots. I was shook up the whole day thinking about having to put her too sleep.
I'm still working with T-Mobile. They said my contract did expire in Jan but I recieved a statement for Feb-March and my phone appears to still be activated."

They really should make regular coke and vanilla coke bottles more distinctive. I bought a two liter of regular coke. Got home and found it was Vanilla.

"You haven't lived until you've seen a Hamster travel down thirteen flights of stairs.
I was awakened at 4:30 this morning by my dog who was barking at something behind my stereo. I expected to peer behind and see a huge bug. I saw a white Hamster wedged in between the wall. I grabbed a candy jar and the chase ensued. Dog is chasing Hamster. I'm chasing Hamster while yelling at dog. Old dog is sitting at the bottom of the stairs looking up as if she thinks everyone has gone nuts. The Hamster veered into the bathroom and I thought I had it. However, upon sight of the dog the Hamster made it's way down the stairs.
By the time the Hamster was caught I was awake. This one had only been out for a month. I have two that have been out for ions. I believe they are held up in my back closet of which I can't remove everything to catch them."

Gardening is so much fun. My hands are covered in a rash thanks to the weeds. Thanks to the weeds I encountered a baby snake. Coming in, I managed to step in poo, in my socks no less."

I can't find anything on the web or anything on the Samsung site that tells me how to change the faceplate on my new phone. I see screws so I figure you probably have to unscrew something but I don't want to mess with it until I know.

"My dentist likes to keep me abreast of his computer knowledge. I see him every six months. First thing he asks is if I still have a computer. Then he proceeds to tell me all the new things he's learned.
I think I'm finally getting the hang of email. Oh hey, I made my first CD all by myself. It is just the neatest thing. They have this music program and you can go online and download any song you want. I made a Fleetwood Mac CD, my daughters were so proud of me. I'll never have to buy CD's again I can just go online and download the music."

The email I use for Live Journal is nothing but spam and more spam mixed in between comments. I put up my Live Journal address so as not to give out my real address. If I put a real address that might elminate some of the spam from those who have my Live Journal address on their lists but that still won't help much and I don't like the idea of having my actual email address up.
