A Non-LJ GIP (Gratuitous Icon Post)?

Well, it appears that Yahoo! has jumped on the avatar bandwagon. These apparently can be used with Yahoo! Messenger, as well. (Too bad I have no intention of getting online with any other messenger service—I use IM too rarely as it is.)



Hey, while I’m at it, here’s another me (a la Candy Bar Doll) that I made back in, oh, December, and never bothered to post.

Interesting, isn’t it, how all these cute girlie thingies have all sorts of skin and eye and hair color, but no option for build? Yeah, if I ever looked like this in real life, I’d be in the hospital for anemia or some shit.

More Linky Love!

I’m not much for Googling myself to see who has links to me, and the Technorati thing was pretty much just depressing, so I took the link off my sidebar. (‘search for dianaschnuth.net: no results found.)

So, when I check out my stats, and find a website I regularly check out as a referrer, I’m always pretty stoked. Number Two on my Thanks For Giving Me A Linkback list goes to Chepooka. I’m a ways down on her page, but I’m happy to be on it at all. Anything that gets me traffic, and anyone who notices that I link to them (and, in this case, trackback to them as well), any of that deserves ‘props’ in my book.

So, thanks, Chepooka! I appreciate the love.

To Everyone Who E-mails Me Forwards

Edit: Also: when you forward me pictures at work, please make sure they?re work-safe. A picture of a half-naked cowboy with his johnson strategically hidden behind a saddlehorn, while intriguing, does NOT qualify as work-safe.

Dear Friends, Co-workers and Relatives,

I do appreciate your desire to share something funny and/or meaningful. However, I have been on the internet for possibly twice as long as you have, which has given me more time to read the various forwards that are *still* circulating. This has also given me the time and opportunity to cultivate my discerning taste for internet humor.

In the interest of ceasing to waste my time and yours, I offer these points for you to peruse at your leisure:

Yay, Traffic?

Can you tell when I posted my Ohayocon5 pics? Yeah.

Also interesting to note: I appear to have less traffic on the weekends. I guess y’all like to do fun things on the weekends instead of websurfing.

Looks like either a.) people are still finding my Ohayocon pics (I know people are still finding them via Google), or b.) maybe I got some more “regulars” after the Ohayocon post. Either way is fine with me.

Aargh!

OMGWTFBBQ! I just tried to type some HTML code into Movable Type too fast, and ended up hitting the keystrokes for [Back] and erasing my entire damn entry.

Too bad… it was pretty good. About how I’m too impatient to sit down and write real blog entries. I can’t complain about lack of potential content, cause I’ve got plenty. It’s just making myself sit down and blog about it.

That said, I’m done for the evening.
