I’ve been itching to do more different conventions this year. I was just thinking about when I went to Boskone when I was a young teen and there were tons of other people who had read so many of the same books I had, books that my high school drinking buddies, cool as they were, sure hadn’t. I got to wear my mom’s old sparkley evening gowns. My friend Sue and I ran around the convention dressed outlandishly and staying up around the clock and laughing at and with all the crazyness. Some older guy tried to take my mom’s evening gown off me in a brightly lit hotel hallway. I fooled around with my first boy with an earring. I’d thought they were bad before then, because my parents had told me so, but the side with the earring was facing away from me when I met the boy. I don’t remember his name, although I do remember what he looked like and flying up to Boston to visit him later and him trying to teach me to drive and his mom trying to take me to church. Ron maybe? I wonder what Sue is doing now. Oddly enough, the only person I am even peripherally in touch with now from that time is the random older guy who tried to take my dress off in a hallway in front of an audience.

Yes, I just saw the most recent Star Wars on DVD. Star Wars doesn’t move me like it once did.

Can anyone here tell me how to set up a Google Alert?

Our newest Blue Blood hotties Omen and Alexxa Hex model the awesome new Blue Blood bear here:

More free pix of Omen and Alexxa are at http://www.bluebloodboutique.com along with a sexy close-up of the bear. I am so stoked about the bear. junkprincess is so into the bear that she painted her whole bedroom and got bedding to match him!

What conventions, conferences, tradeshows, major parties, and similar events do people here like to attend?

I just found out that a business event I was planning to go to is going to feature dodgeball games.

When I was in second grade, I taught a Japanese boy to read English. The first English words he was comfortable saying in public were “You out!” in dodgeball. Because I liked working with Seiko, I feel a mild positive association with this.

I also enjoyed the movie with Vince Vaugn and Ben Stiller well enough.

But DODGEBALL? Now? For grown-ass real-life businesspeople??? WTF?

Although, prior to this, Voltaire modeled for Spin and for the Blue Blood Boutique with her new hairstyle, our recent day at the beach was her first real shoot with it. She still looks amazing and we had a lot of fun shooting these, even though it was really chilly outside. Maybe, for my more northern pals, it would not have seemed so cold, but Forrest, Voltaire, and I are all used to Los Angeles.

Happy Green Beer Day from Blue Blood!

OMG, I just heard that there is this guy in Indiana with a GIANT PENIS! Don’t you want to know who!?!

Now I don’t have cancer, but I do have to go to the dentist tomorrow and I should get some amazingly minor oral surgery, but the charge for it is pretty amazingly high for something so minor and my last oral surgery experience literally almost killed me.

I really truly deeply appreciate how many people jumped to the call for help with banners for BlueBlood.com.

I really truly deeply am annoyed at how many people were praying there was some weirdness with Keiko because I posted an oblique comment, intended to jog the memories of like 3 to 5 people who read my journal and would know what I was referring to. There was no issue of any kind. It was a totally insignificant remark and I’m sick to death of feeling like the slightest offhand thing I post will be vivisected and put on trial. I post about serious health worries and nobody says fucking boo, but, I post something which could maybe imply there was social drama, and everyone gets all aflutter.

I’ve been trying to get one of the design people that I work with to finish some work for MissBunny.com and I am out of my mind that I was promised four day turnaround the beginning of December. She looks so much cooler than that old tour shows and the new content is so way cooler. I’m switching up the responsibilities on it, but it depresses me to take someone off a project when they keep asking for another chance and will obviously be really sad if replaced. It makes me feel like a big meanie, but I need to get stuff finished too.

While I am at it, I would like to mention that psycho competitive people really piss me off. I’m sick of getting mail-bombed and I’m sick of things which should be fun being made kinda unfun. I’m sick of people who try to make good people feel bad for their choices. I hate when people do something bad and then they demonize their victims. People who try to turn everything into a competition are just insecure losers. [EDIT: Fuck, I said something eloquent in here which I truly mean from the heart, only I don’t feel like seeing a bunch of competitive assholes repeating my words like they thought of them, so I deleted them from my post.] I’m sick of people who think they are being brilliant socialites by playing both sides of a fence, when really they are just being two-faced jerks who are friends to no one, not even themselves. I’m sick of people trying get me to create (or associate my brand with) disgusting porno. I’m sick of people trying get my friends to create (or associate my brand with) disgusting porno. I’m sick of people who tent their pants just talking to me, but discount my fashion or music photography or my writing etc. because they are so turned on by my erotic photography. I’m sick of grody companies and grody people cozying up to me, not because they want to be my allies or friends, but because they want to be Blue Blood or be me and ideally replace me with a pod person who acts sorta like me . . . just with no heart or spirit or soul.

/end rant

Oh, fuck it. I’m rambling and I’m probably not even really that annoyed. My tooth just really hurts and I’m overworked. Forrest just called and he is doing really cool stuff. He is so awesome and amazing. I know he can do just about anything and he still impresses me all the time. I seem to have also invoked the MIA design person because he messaged me in the middle of my little outpouring here. Maybe the MissBunny.com redesign will happen without a whole lot more managing required of me. Chaotika made me a really cool and thoughtful picture. Scar is a really perfect human being. I had a really nice (and productive) time hanging out with V this afternoon and getting dogs and coffee. J took me for nummy cheeseburgers with no buns. I enjoyed chatting with E and S and B earlier today. I’m looking forward to editing B’s photos. I got a new stuffed animal I am very excited about. I menaced J with it all through dinner. He had to carry a gun case down Hollywood Blvd while wearing Prada shades and designer jeans specially imported from Japan. It was funny. I lost five pounds. The weather in Los Angeles is beautiful.

The Advil started working while I was talking to Forrest.

Who is good at making banners?

Who wants to make banners for BlueBlood.com?

Wow, I have a ridiculous number of photos cool people have sent in for Blue Blood Boutique which should be up there. Yay! I’d hate to think I could get through a day without kicking myself for something I haven’t done yet.

Extra credit: Who does the girl in the last photo I posted look so much like that it is a tip off that they are ironically related? (You can’t play if you know the real story.)

I really want to write something extended about the new couples section on BlueBlood.com, but I keep getting kinda choked up thinking about it and short circuiting. I’m really really really happy about it on a deep level and, for some reason, this is slowing the verbalizing process. I’ve been on a really fucked sleep schedule which may contribute. But I’m actually feeling good about what I’ve been getting done lately. Plus I’m getting really kickass at Diamond Mine. It is like meditating.

I was going to write a long thing about how happy I am to have just posted a bunch of stuff to a new section on the BlueBlood.com supersite, but I’m just too ragged, even after a nap, to be particularly coherent. So let me leave you all with a photo:

Another sample shot at this link and the whole huge series at BlueBlood.com

I love when you meet people and you expect them to be super duper cool and they are everything you hoped they would be and more.
