Twitchy Eyeball

Why is my right eye twitching so badly again lately? It had almost completely stopped for a while. I have some writing I need to do which is kind of overdue in my personal schedule for myself, but the twitching is driving me crazy. Hard to catch up on email or anything much longer than a post on BlueBlood.net. I’m really pleased with the diversity and intelligence of the people posting in the Blue Blood Community.

I love my South Park cartoon of myself with the twitching eye.

I think I am going to try to address some of this health junk with diet again. No complex carbs, minimal sugars, minimal dairy, no caffeine, no alcohol, more veggies, more protein, all that fun stuff.

Went to sort of two dinners tonight. Someone I know was doing a sort of debut for her new chef and then we had another dinner to go to as well. Yum yum.

Chatted on ICQ for a while. That was nice, but my bestest ICQ buddy moved to New York for the month and our schedules never match up lately.

Got some really cool press for various projects this month. I found an awesome new law firm. I’ve actually left the house and had fun with a bunch of different social circles lately. The new Marquis is out in English now, but I haven’t seen it. I think it only shipped like Monday, though, so that makes sense. I have a bunch of things to be actually pretty thrilled about, but I’m feeling kinda down at the moment. I’m feeling sad partly about health probs and partly about the ways that the internet has changed human interaction for the worse. There are a bunch of ways the internet has greatly improved my world, but I can’t help feeling like somehow it makes things more convenient for lazy poisonous people. I look down my friends list and it seems like all of the best people I know are having trouble connecting with enough of the people on their wavelength to not get kinda screwed.

I think I’ve got a rant in me about how everyone is in business on the internet, but they are in minor under-the-radar biz and way too few people are even trying to connect on human terms.

But I think I’ll save that for later. I’ve got four contracts to read over. A bunch of banner stuff to work on. Site updates to do. Contributors to calculate payments for. And a magazine deadline which was the 11th. And a bunch of other stuff on little purple stickies all over my monitor.

Feeling kind of better for having taken some Advil and vitamins when I started writing and just the writing itself helps get the blahs out of my system.

Was supposed to be in Vegas tonight. Mostly did work but Alex lured me and Forrest and Kelly out for good conversation and a meeting of the superpower secret organization S.P.I.N.E.

Also, check out my new hair cut.

Much work to do tomorrow. Bed shortly for now though.

So apparently I can’t look at Mark’s journal without taking a goofy quiz. Although note that once again Mark’s chance of survival is 8% and mine is 77%.

Streetfight Love – How will love kick *YOUR* ass?
LJ Username
Your LJ Lover/Opponent	chyemonroe
Punch	Solar Plexis: A sharp blow to this nerve center is an automatic TKO.
Kick	Knee Smash: A cheap shot, but quick and easy to accomplish. Could be a distraction leading to something a bit more painfull.
Finale	Curb Stomp: So vicious and brutal that it’s considered an urban myth – often talked about, rarely seen. After being thouroughly thrashed, this is that extra mile travelled to deliver the killing blow from which there is no return.
Chances You’ll survive? – 77%
This cool quiz by marksplatter – Taken 58 Times.

New – How do you get a guy to like you?

I actual met up with my unfortunate quiz opponent last night for the first time in many years. One of those weird double-take moments where you look at someone and can’t place them and then do place them. I was like, “hey, didn’t you have sex on my living room floor around ten years ago” and he said probably not as he was not from around here. I pointed out that I meant in Fairfax, Virginia and he was like, “OMG, Amelia!” Then he denied that the sex in question actually occurred. 🙂

In other news, Ugly Shyla turned me onto a very silly site today: FetishGossip.com. I’ve apparently been on there for months without knowing it. Ba ha ha ha. I got called a pussy for letting a model get her way. I guess I can live with that. Note: I am not endorsing ANYTHING on this site. Just saying it is funny. Which it is. The site even has rotating quotes from people’s hate mail to them. Mostly I don’t really approve of people posting without putting their name with their words. I think that, if you can’t sign it in public, you probably should not say it there. But, as I may be one of the last people on the internet with that view . . . anybody want to share their views with me about anonymous posting?

My Dick is Bigger Than Yours

Ya know what I find really weird. Some people just have to make things a contest. I’m always trying to beat my own high score, not trying to beat the next guy.

If someone is my friend, I don’t think about things like who is more accomplished, who is prettier, who is more intelligent, who has more fans etc. We are all supposed to be on the same side.

If I am doing business with someone, I think about what we have to offer one another that will benefit both of us. I don’t think about who is actually bigger in the greater scheme of things.

I actually had an ad sales rep boast to me today that the entire NETWORK of sites he reps gets 1.2 to 2 million visitors A MONTH. And he was talking down to me. That is some serious comedy. I just wanted to get ad rates so I could give the company he works for some money, only he kept going on and on about the tiny network he represents and presenting the pricing in such a disorganized way that there would be no way any rational person could make a purchasing decision from his data. The guy was so rude that I finally asked him if maybe I’d been a guest at a convention near him and been on a panel he wanted to be on or had perhaps slept with his girlfriend when I lived in the DC/Baltimore area where he now is. I pointed out to him that his demeanor was not really normal for an advertising sales rep and asked him what was with the bizarre attitude. I was attempting to lighten the mood of the conversation while pointing out that he really needed to be more professional and organized to make the sale. Only he went totally BESERK that I asked if maybe I slept with his girlfriend. Said I was making assumptions. I was just reacting to bizarre rudeness from a stranger.

I don’t think his girlfriend was that good in bed because I don’t remember her at all.

Had a great shoot yesterday. Then I finished uploading the fun snapshots from my San Diego trip. The following are a few of my favorites, but the whole lot of them are posted now at http://www.spookycash.com/fun/0604cybernetexpo/. Did you know you can get good gourmet beer by the carton in San Diego? We went to lunch at this sort of brewery place the last day. We drank frou frou drinks first as part of an evil pact, but then my friend got a carton of this extra-strong European beer to go. Apparently you are allowed to bring such things to the beach, but we just went back to the convention hotel.

It is nice to go to a convention and get to see lots of people I know and like from online but do not regularly get to see. The panel I was on went really well too. I am all nervous about reading my fiction in front of people, but, talking about a nonfiction area of expertise in front of a packed room, I was totally in my element. It has been a while since I spoke at a conference and it felt really good to do it again. I want a T-shirt that says, “I am an expert internet professional.” Or maybe not.

My bathroom is still sticky this morning, so I know the shoot yesterday was excellent. I keep getting blood on my feet every time I go pee. I think I am going to have to wash my brace.

FAQ for interested models & anyone with a shred of a sense of decency who reads my journal

Please note that the following is my bio from my profile page and has been since I started this journal:

Bio:

Note: This is my *personal* journal, so, if I am talking about site stuff, please feel free to comment about it, but I prefer talking about personal stuff here, so I would way rather hear about your dog or your opinion on social issues than about when would I like to do a photo shoot or when is x and so going to be available to the public. If you are interested in modeling, please send one to five jpegs of what you look like to submit@blueblood.net along with information on what city you live in or near, whether you have any plans to visit Southern California or Las Vegas, and what you are interested in/comfortable with doing on camera i.e. types and levels of nudity, types of fashions, types of publication desired etc. If you previously submitted to sadistintern@blueblood.net please resubmit to the new email address. Thanks.

+++++

If you just have my journal bookmarked in case you want to talk about yourself in it later, please read the FAQ and note that this sort of interaction is likely to go badly.

If you want to discuss personal things in personal space with me, that is great. I’m a friendly girl.

If you want to drag business issues into a space that (a) you should allow to be personal out of respect for my clear wishes and (b) expressly forbids conducting business in its TOS, then you are likely to get a less positive response than if you go through appropriate channels.

+++++

That said, I’m going to go get a coffee and chill (with Forrest if he can speed through some of the shoot stuff he is doing now.) It is almost time for us to go pick up the fantabulous girl we are shooting this afternoon and I don’t want to be all aggro while we are shooting when she has been great. I really wish that people who would like me to work faster would not try to start drama with me while I am trying to get work done. In all fairness, I had my most excellent brother on the phone and five webmaster friends on ICQ who were all doing biz in an enjoyable and friendly fashion and I was really rocking Photoshop this morning before I made the mistake of checking my journal email.

I would like a friendly space that was a respite from the more business end of things, but maybe this lj fad is coming to an end anyway.
