Another LJ Breach, Another Chance to Say Hello to the Past
Back when I still lived in the college town where I went to college, I'd sometimes pop over to the college to walk around my old college haunts and get a feeling for how I'd changed since then (where "then" was "when I was in college").
I can't do that since I moved to Portland, and I can rarely do that online because apparently the early internet we all loved was just us surfing the wake from a giant garbage scow.
Anyways — hello old friends and frenemies. Just here for the latest password breach/reset. Miss you all.
I am so slow.. . Ive become a turtle... or rather, i left the rabbit race... now i can merrily slowly win at life... im kinda addicted to being alive.... one year later, still not exploding up in space. Im happy enough .... cus i got a huge bottle of red wine for 5.99... and im off to shop for champagne and cigarettes to celebrate with the 7-11 cashier.... i exist and cant believe it!!! P.s. facebook banned me for 24 hours... karmaaaaa HAHAHAHAHA
current state: A cigarette that wants to be lit current tunes: 63 Days by Atlas Genius current place: Anywhere I want current tags:happy new year
how is everyone doing? i created this site and am in wonder. facebook took over... hey (whisper) maybe the mean people left? let's see.... are you doing well?
I hope this Christmas season finds you happy and warm. I know that isn't always the case, but we can always hope.
As you might know, I am not in Portland. It is summer where I am, and while the wet Portland winters and endless wet socks were hard, in my memories I miss the misty gray winter days and smell of pine trees. Enjoy it all! You sometimes don't know how good you have it.
I am avoiding two parties to stay inside and stare at the internet.
I might be an inappropriate host, because for me it is the middle of winter and all I want is my warm pyjamas and hot chocolate, so if anyone wants to fill up this NLC with tales of warm summer breezes and cups of wine on the patio, feel free to do so.
Besides, of course, being true No-Lifers, I hope we are faithfully in the basement, eating cheetohs, and watching reruns on TV.
How is summer going? Are we working on our summer lists? After the time of endless rain and bare trees, are we unrolling the list of outdoor activities that we've been dreaming about for nine months? Is the heat as intolerable as the damp and the cold was? What's the Portlandiest thing you've done? Where are you going? Where do you plan to go? Tell me all the details!
Along with it being close to the winter solstice here, there are many things that I miss about Portland.
One of the things that Portland has prided itself on is density, as opposed to the sprawl that has wrecked other cities. But, in comparison to where I am now, the Portland area is spread out in places. That does have some good effects, like traffic noise and crowds and pollution not always being focused into one small area. The amount of little parks and greenspaces, and even just things like stores having trees and stupid little lawns, is actually enviable. Like I wouldn't mind being in suburban Beaverton right now.
Well, that is my report for now. Say hello if you want to.
My mom has sold 1650 sq. ft. house and is am going TINY!! She is going to be moving into a 250 sq.ft. tiny house so she's selling EVERYTHING!! (no appliances) Furniture, knick knacks, some clothes, kitchen stuff, ect.

It looks like we are just a few days away from spring, which means it is time to change out of our four layers of clothing, remove the webbing from our toes, and enjoy all the opportunities of the Oregon spring!
I've been in Tacoma for the past month, and have been so busy with important stuff, that I've hardly noticed the change of seasons, besides to notice that half the trees have leaves now!
So are you all ready for the spring? Going to make it a great one? Tell us! :)
I'm aiming to beat a world record and the problem is I need two people without a connection to me to verify it. You have to be "an expert in the field" but considering the record is Largest Collection of Video Game Screenshots (YES that's a real thing!) that would be anything from visual artists to geeks to programmers to avid gamers. So if you think you're even remotely qualified, drop me a line at cammycommando@yahoo.com and we can set up when to do this. I need two, as I said, so I'd need to set up a time we can all meet. I'd prefer to do this at Washington Square Mall since it's near my house, and since I need to videotape the proceedings it's nice and well lit. I'll buy you anything you want from the food court during the entire time, as well as copies of the next Guinness Gamers Book when it comes out.
Notice regarding those compensations--I AM allowed to compensate you just as long as that compensation doesn't change with the outcome. So you'd get all of those no matter if I break the record or not.
I'd also prefer that at least one of you has a laptop. I have one but since as I said I have to get a video of this, I'd want to get both of you at the same time.
Please help me out! Finding verifiers is proving to be more difficult than working on the record itself!
This year we have the added treat of having a Friday that falls on the first of the year.
And while the rest of the year might be busy and full of action, I think for most of us, this Friday is probably not too hopping. After all, its cold, and we already partied last night! My goals for right now are going to Fred Meyer, and then playing some games, and reading some comic books. Maybe watch some television!
I am sure that all of you are joining me in this spirit, but if you are actually up to something, let us know!
Not that I am bourgeois enough to keep track of things, but there is only a few weeks until Christmas. Also only a few weeks until Solstice, when the days start getting longer!
But for now it's dark and very rainy, and the only thing we have to do is eschew activities and embrace the Internet!
SNNLC AN EXPLOSION OF GIVINV SHARING AND COMMUNITY
Hello calling all my snnlcers to order!
It's getting late in the year, the stresses of holidays are upon us and the lack of daylight might be getting some of us down. But we always have this warm community to embrace and delight us! So pull up a chair, get yourself some virtual cocoa and cookies, and tell is what's going on with you!
As things get darker and colder, it becomes more difficult to go out and socialize and have fun. But don't worry, the Internet is here for you.
I managed to go out for a nice bicycle ride today and now I am watching the World Series and thinking about sleep. How about you? Who has Halloween plans for tomorrow? Who here loves the rain? Who here is looking forward to another succesful year of campaigning in the Skeleton Wars?
