Done, and done again.

[silveradept]

Today was another day at work. There was some copy sketching done, enough that I put some of it on the hard drive - although some of them have had errant lines cleaned off of them in their digital forms. There were attempts to freesketch, and most of them didn't turn out quite right. I still don't quite have the handle on things yet. But It'll get there. Maybe when I start feeling that way, I'll think about putting some stuff up.

I started work on your disc today, greyweirdo and decided it would be an MP3 sort of design. You're going to get a full disc of complete scattershot across my interests. It's not my complete collection - but it will be stuff that's not just easily pickable from certain sites. There's also an exercise in creativity - tell me if it works or not. beyond that, it's basically ready, so I have to get the right envelope and then take it to the post office and get the right postage metered out on it and all that. I finally just got the impetus to do it. Perhaps over the weekend I'll put it in the mailbox and all that.

Today produced some fruitful discussion with fred_smith over Instant Messenger protocols about whether or not the Ortegrity idea was a viable one, especially as a world-wide system. I don't know if we came to an agreement, but he noticed that the hinge for the argument, resting on both the absolute command that all must win in any decision taken and the volunteerism that accompanies forming any action committee produces several situations that may be less comfortable than our current system, especially with regard to taxation and social programs. If such things could have Ortegrity-feasible solutions constructed, then there's a shot it might work.

Then again, because of my angelic nature (we resent being called mythological creatures, by the way - both angels and dragons know better.), I might just be optimistic about this.

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel. </td> Angel 75% Mermaid 59% Faerie 59% Dragon 58% WereWolf 33% Demon 0% What Mythological Creature are you?

Remember that I took this and not Sen-Sen. His results are naturally, different. He scored as 92% Dragon.

Although if I'm an angelic being, does that mean I can’t rub my hands evilly and cackle at the prospect of this super laser that's being developed? And does that prevent me from throwing flaming sulfur balls at Dobson's latest psoriaoralitic pronouncement? Probably. Ah, well. I can, instead content myself with someone attempting to count all the possible errors a marching band can commit on any given Saturday, and then noting that with such a giant potential for screw-ups, it's really rather remarkable that the marching band commits as few errors as it does. Having done the whole marching band thing for a few years, it is very cool to watch a form that you've been working on come together just right. At the same time, you cringe when things don't looks so right.

I feel a bit like coasting - I'm not in a good enough position to do so, but that's what I feel like doing. My work ethic is a little on the low side, excepting perhaps if I really want to get one of these projects airborne. So it's time to make some decisions again. Hopefully, they'll be as good as the one that brought me this far.

Ah, yes, one of my women friends asked me a question today that I thought would be useful to pose to the rest of you.

What makes a woman intimidating? Both sexes are encouraged to answer - and do so honestly, if you please. There isn't a right or wrong answer, although there may be one I'm expecting more than others.

What makes Women intimidating?

[uncle-pervy.livejournal.com]

Well, off the top of my head, I'd say Chicks with Dicks that put mine to shame would intimidate me...but I digress

I'm not intimidated by women. If one starts blowing her mouth off due to Aunt Flo visiting, then I just get pissed at her and face off against her. If a gal's talking to me nicely and demurely, then I'm pretty much putty in her hands, but that's not intimidation.

The ONLY woman that I've ever been intimidated by would have to be my mother...because I was thwoped upside the head enough times to know that she'll cut my balls off in a moment if she felt that I was getting out of hand. Well that and because of how tall I am (6'1") and how tall she is (5'0") she's at the right position to punch me in the nuts if I don't buckle to her.

What Mythological Creature are you?...do you REALLY have to guess?

You scored as Demon. Demon: Darkness is your sanctuary. Demons are many and are all different in appearence and rank. The most common are the ones that feed off of human souls. They love to make someone fall into their inner darkness. Blood, wrath, murder... You name it they love it. These beings don't care who you are, if they set their sights on you, let's just hope you know a good excorist. They kill any love within you and pull you toward their side. By any means possible. You wish for chaos and hate, you are the Demon. </td> Demon 100% Dragon 84% WereWolf 58% Faerie 33% Mermaid 25% Angel 8% What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!) created with QuizFarm.com

Now tell me you WEREN'T figuring this out already?

Check the perception of the average male for a second. Who gets to say no? Who is deciding weather or not to take the other home? Who is the one who is supposed to be impressed? Who is the one who can crsuh your poor pathetic soul by simply not smiling?

I'm not talking about weather or not any of this is fair, or even acurate, it's perception. Many women can be just as intimidated by a man as any man can be by women. Still the point remains that women really have the power for the most part. The are the ones who pick. So you're always on sale when you're single. You're always in the midst of a job interview until someone decides to hire you. You're tense nervous and unsure of yourself. You get more sur eof yourself (and oddly enough, attractive) once taken. That's one of the reasons people always talk about how guys who are taken are more attractive, they're finnaly relaxing.

Particularly in a world where chocolate and vibrating plastic devices are cheep, men can be viewed as unnessicary. They would like to have one, but it's not really a must have item anymore. It's no longer the rule that a livig room simply isn't complete without a beer swilling lug. Dosen't matter if this paragraph is really true, it's all about perception. If you perceive this is the situation, you're jsut another low rent wage slave trying to get a good job.

This is why I have always said that it is far easier to get yourself a woman who is already in a relationship than it is so get on who's on her own. Think about it: to get a woman on her own, you have to be the best guy on the planet's surface. You have to be the best guy of all time. You have to have a pantheon-membership card.
To get a woman who's in a relationship, all you have to do is beat one guy. And by that time, he's pretty complacent.
Then you don't have to be too suprised when she runs off with the next one, either.

ALSO!

I haven't even bought the blank discs yet, I'll get on that this weekend.

i agree with that. they have almost all of the power in a relationship, even if they act cute a lot and make like they're really not sure if they like you or whatever (there are sweet girls out there like that, but for the most part they have the upper hand).
but i also think it has to do with our just flat-out inability to tell when they're sending signals. women are subversive, and it's hard as hell to figure out when they are doing it, and what they mean. at any rate, though men are often intimidated by women, i dont think we have to be. they are just people, people breasts and receptive reproductive organs ^_^ but people, yes, with thoughts and feelings (most of the time), so even though it's hard, i dont think there's really too much to be intimidated about

I don't like sudden moves, the threat of emotional violence (which is infinitely nastier and mroe enduring than physical violence), or the hint of a penurious sexuality. You can hold out of you're genuinely pissed at me, but not if you just want money to go shopping with, you don't think I'm spending enough time with my mother in-law or you don't like my friends. Women who are vehemently confrontational or just plain contrary intimidate me. Therefore, I decline.
