I'm · a · geek, · and · uh, · I'm · pretty · proud · of · it.

It's been FOREVER...literally forever since I've written in this thing! I have more online journals than i know what to do with...2 Xangas (That look the exact same except one's pink and one's blue, they both have the same headline and I think the same picture of Anthony Rapp on there)...and 2 LJ's...is it lack of expression I'm worried about? How many journals can one own and not say the same thing 4 different ways? This is pretty much the only journal I have that I haven't plastered the picture of Mark Cohen on, and it's going to stay that way...because one day, yes, I can't believe this either, I'll get sick of looking at Anthony Rapp and have to change literally EVERYTHING...including my Myspace that I just updated. And it's not that I won't like him or his music anymore, it's just nice to have a change sometimes. OH and onto the nerdy stuff, (this IS the specialized journal FOR the nerdy stuff) Solomon I found you a cartoon!!!

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

*giggle* I thought you of all people would enjoy this cartoon since you have "My Humps" on a CD. And with that, I'm out!

Love, Your Lord and Master-
Rae.

So...this is pretty much my geeky nerdy menagerie of stuff. This is where I'll vent on crap or just tell you some exciting stuff...or not exciting stuff. Depends on what you consider important and what you don't.

Onward!

So I'm browsing around WWdN and noticed that poor Wheaton has fucked up his server and is needing tech support for it. I'm not the expert on computers here, but I know a little and I guess that's all that matters. I know enough not to break the damned thing. there's a reason I'm not a computer major... no matter how much you try to make my computer happy, it always seems to be pissed off at me for some reason!!! This wouldn't have happened if my parents had just bought me the mac I told them I wanted and was dying for. Damn Bill Gates to hell! His machines are CRAP! Well it's not so much the machine as the software, but either way, CRAP! Told you it was going to be nerdy in here.

So anyway...
I am trying to get ahold of my parents and tell them I'm desperately in need of some money. I had to borrow 10 bucks from Rolan to get my Texan Card replaced, (because I FINALLY lost the son of a bitch) because I was STARVED and hadn't eaten in 2 days. Not that it would kill me to go without food, or anything. I could stand to lose a few...like 50. Yeah, That's kind of a thing no one has heard about yet. Rae's poor self image. Ah well, I defy anyone to find someone who DOESN'T have somewhat of a poor self image. Especially girls. Y'know, societal pressure and all those other bullshit excuses to do crack to lose weight (hey, If it worked for Kate Moss, you too can look like a twelve year old boy with an A cup!) So if you're just browsing around journals and you don't know me...or hell, even if you do know me just not that well...I've broken my personality down pretty much into a list of likes and dislikes. So... now it's time we all sit in a little circle on the floor (on the nice colorful carpet that looks like a clock) Eat our oatmeal raisin squares, drink our milk, and have Share Time before nap.

Favorite Food- Grilled cheese sandwiches. It's not meat, it's toasty, it's warm, and dripping in butter. So, so bad for you, but oh-so-delectable. Like happiness between two slices of toasted bread.

Favorite Drink-This would be a toss up. I'm going to go with Coffee as an obvious, because it's my driving force for waking my fucking ass up in the mornings, but Diet Coke...another imbibeable delight. I don't know if imbibeable is a word, but I know Imbibe means to drink. Hey, I'm being creative here!

Favorite color-Blue. Soothing, peaceful, and calm. Got to love the color blue.

Favorite flower-I'm a girl and these things matter. I know I'm not getting anything for Valentine's Day, I have no Valentine, and the whole goddamned thing is a sham set up by Hall-Mark and Russel Stover. ...*sigh* My favorite flower is Daisies. White Daisies. None of that cliche red rose bullcrap. Red roses remind me of Valentine's Day and we all now know how much I hate that holiday. I don't care if he WAS a saint, his holiday is SHIT. Yeah, the guy was murdered and beheaded. *sigh* got a love a good romance story.

Favorite Holiday-It's not fucking Valentine's Day. 12 days until the nightmare begins! My favorite holiday is actually Christmas. Getting to spend time with my family and getting to see how happy they look when they open the gifts I got them (my dad thought his Halo action figure was KICK ASS...I guess nerdiness is genetic?)

Favorite Band: Oh wow...that one's kinda hard. I do so love Oasis. I've always had nothing but admiration and respect for Noel Gallagher (even if his brother Liam is a tard). Yeah, some of his lyrics don't make sense, but as far as the actual music goes, "What's The Story, Morning Glory?" was one of the best albums to come out of Britain in the last 15 years. Poignant, obscure, absolutely wonderful. they're definitely at the top of the list.
Oh, and Noel Gallagher said my favorite (albeit kinda morbid) quote. Spin magazine asked him what he would want on his tombstone...his reply? "Here Lies A Genius. Keep the Fucking Noise Down."

Favorite Song: Another tough one... still going with Oasis on that one. Agreeing with Noel that Don't Look Back In Anger kinda replaced Wonderwall as an anthem. It's just a great song.

Dislikes

Least Favorite Food-Meat. I'm a vegetarian and I don't agree with the way they kill animals. to be perfectly honest, I don't agree with killing animals at all.

Least Favorite Drink- I don't know what the fuck that shit was that Bobby made me that one time, but I'm not a big fan. I think I'll stick with coffee.

Least Favorite color- Orange. Every body looks like a douche in orange. If you think you're one of the few who do, you're just sadly mistaken and have very poor eyesight. You look like a fucking tangerine!

Least Favorite Flower- the kind that make my allergies act up. Which is pretty much everything ranging from azaleas to daffodils to dandelions.

Least Favorite Holiday: OH, I don't know if i've mentioned this before, but fuck Valentine's Day. there's a quote from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that made me want to hug Jim Carrey so much.

"random thoughts for Valentine's day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap."

And it's absolutely true. Fuck that bullshit. If you love someone, tell them you love them every day. Not one day out of the year. Go out of your way to do something special for them that will make them feel loved and appreciated. And if you have no one, and you're bitter, jaded, cynical, or even have enough wits about you to know this holiday is a sham, protest the fuckers celebrating this worthless holiday. Seriously, have a sit in or something, I'm so there.

Least Favorite Band- I don't know but for some reason I've never fucking liked anything Fred Durst has ever done. his music sucks ass, it's not really music and he needs to realize he's a fat, balding white guy, hanging out with a dude dressed like a space alien. You're not cool. Fuck you AND your red hat

Least Favorite Song: "Gold Digger" by Kanye West. Something about this song just rubs me the wrong way.... That and I've heard it fifty bajillion times. It wasn't that great to begin with and the more popular it got, the worse it started to suck. Funny how that shit happens.

Random Dislikes:
Close-minded people
Jehovah's Witnesses that like to show up before noon (after noon, it's all gravy)
Being scatter brained
being confused
losing shit all the fucking time.
random unnecessary drama
worry

And that's about it. Now you've learned a little something about me. All you've ever wanted to not know and were never going to ask. Enjoy!
