I am not in any sort of a mood to be arguing really. I have a soar throat. :( But I want to clarify.
I am a pacifist, so I dont' believe in violence of any kind, be it from the US or terrorists and certainly not as a means to a solution. I think the president sucks and I think most all elected officials suck because they aren't allowed to have differeing opinons that is why I feel its "amusing how politicians are seemingly not allowed to criticize "the war on terrorism"". Because sometimes horryfying ammuses me. I am not a Republi-Crat, I am way to the left. And I just rembered why this is called naomilog because I can say what I want here. I don't think as conservative as the rest of this country so its understanding if some of you don't agree with me. And in my opinon not every religion or lack there of is accpeted here. Mainly the lack there of. That is why I normally keep my atheism to myself.

More self loving and promotion:
I hooked up the web cam on my mothers wonderful computer which sits right next to mine. And wala, there you have it a new picture of me on the me page. Isn't it wonderful?
In other news:
I seriously need to rethink the subject of this weblog. Maybe I should expand my writings to include more things which don't directly deal with me me me. Its getting a bit narcissistic don't you think? Anyway I am struggling with the topic of me. I think I will try to write more essays on topics that do not directly relate to me. I shall expand to topics which facinate and or horrify me. Sounds good no?
For instance the state of the union. This would fall into the horrifying category. I also find it amusing how politicians are seemingly not allowed to criticize "the war on terrorism", because really all of us americans support our president. The fem-bot says so.

I am going to take a dance class next quarter which I have not done for FIVE years. So it should be fun making a fool of myself. So I will be taking Cal Flora and Modern Dance. Maybe I will get all flexible again. I remember when I could do the splits and now I can barely touch my toes. :(
In other news my dad is letting my drive his PT Cruiser until he feels I am ready to go on the road with the truck. I think I am ready but he says I need to perfect the whole reversing into a parking spot thing still. sheesh.

Well I redid my doggies page with some wonderful original artwork. So go check it out and tell me what a wonderful artists you think I am.
On another note, I can't wait until I run my own webserver so fem-bot.com and naomilog.com don't have to be forwards anymore. :)

I am donating blood tomorrow. fun, fun, fun. My blood type is O+ so I thought I would be generous and give it to someone who needs it, since I have plenty.

So fem-bot.com is working now. The domain name is just forwarding to a folder on anabaena.net right now. Soon it will be up and running with stuff on it, once I get my own server going. It actually may be a while before that happens. But it will I promise.

Also here is a new artwork. I just bought my new domain about 1 min ago, so my new project may be up in a few weeks or so. I bought fem-bot.com. You know you wish you thought of that one. ;) I may use it to house a gallery of my wonderful artwork, and to have sort of be a philosophy page.

I think we need a new topic here. My crab died. This world sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its full of death and dispair.

I would like to entitle this post "The Clutch Revelation"
So I went out for my 5th driving lesson today to learn to drive stick shift. I went to my university parking lot to learned how to go up a hill from a stop. I wasn't getting it so my dad got in the drivers seat and showed me how it was done. As I watched his feet I had a revelation. I saw what to do and it was amazing. So I finally did it without rolling down the hill and I felt some how enlightened. My feet still aren't quick enough, but I figure I will get that with time. I think I am finally getting the hang of this thing, and its about time too.

Ok here is the deal I was thinking of putting a message board on my site. I don't want anything big and I don't want to have to upload a million files so an ikonboard is out of the quesiton. I want it to be small, and have only 10-15 people posting if anyone cares too. I figure in some ways my blog has become sort of a message board, I start a topic and people talk about it. So I was looking at this board called BoardLess, its a free asp message board. I don't know a thing about asp or whatever so I didn't know why it didn't work for me. The directions were something like unzip the file, upload all of the files into your cgi-bin and then go to admin.asp or whatever. But the thing is I did that and nothing showed. It was wierd and that was all the directions so I didn't know what was up. I even changed the permissions and it still didn't work. I didn't have the patience at the time to really look into it and figure it out. Once this grad school stuff is over I may have to time to do it.
So anyway that is my idea and eventually it may or may not happen. I might put it on the new domain I want to get too. Its such a cool name I can't belive nobody has snached it up. And since domain names are only $8.85 at stargate inc I can get as many as i want. :)

I was having a little chit chat with chris and he raised a very interesting question. Would I be able to go out for sushi and have crab rolls now that I have Archimedes as a pet? Hmmm, I didn't even think of this. I could never eat a dog so why should I eat a crab. I would never eat an iguana too because I have grown attached to my brothers iguana Yuck. Maybe I should just become a vegetarian...

I got a new pet crab in the mail on thursday. I named him Archimedes, and he is so cute. I had to order some frog food for my brother online, and there was a $10.00 miminum to order something from the catalog so I perused th catalog to see what else I could buy to get the bill over $10, and then I found Archimedes! I am quite happy with my purchase and he made it through the mail ok, and he seems happy. :-)
He came with what they like to call a "raft", but all it is just a peice of foam in a little plastic bag. I will take a pic of that later once I hook up my cam to my mom's computer. But anyway I think his "raft" is cheap so I am going to get him a nice new aquarium and a little raft for him to float on at the petstore today.

Wow I got a guestbook entry from Sarah. I hadn't had one in a long time. Aw thanks. But she thinks my layout could use some work. :( Oh well...

On another note...
Thanks to my new wacom graphire tablet, I too can be an artist. Here is a self portrait and a portrait of my chrissy friend. I can't help it, the talent just oozes out of me.

My friend chris now has a blog. Its a very chrisular blog so go check it out. I did help him a bit so that is why it looks half way decent. ;) j/k.

I still get a real kick out of visiting personal pages. I find it oh so facinating how people like to portray themselves on the web. I *love* those biographies that need to tell every little random detail that you could ever possibly not want to know. I mean someone actually sat down and said I think I want to write about myself, hmm what would people want to know? "Lets see, I really like the color pink, but only on tuesdays, and I have strange fascination with the kiwi fruit but I won't eat it". I have never tried to write autobio because I would fail miserably, and besides who the hell really cares what the weather was like the day I was born anyway. Its really great to when there is a whole cataloug of artsy pictures of themselves. Hmm maybe I should get a digital camera just so I can take a million pictures of myself, and nothing else. So admitedly I had a web cam, but the perminent naomi cam picture is now kermi. I also love rants. I just read the best one on body glitter. I actually feel bad right now because i am making fun of people and their creative self expression. Ah but who really cares, I still get a kick out of it. :P
Oh but the best one is when I went to a some girls site and she taked about her psoriasis.

I like to read my old posts because they are a lot more entertaining then my recent posts. The whole reason I started blogging was to keep me writing. I like the practice, and I was hopeing that by blogging at least once every week I eventually one day become a decent writer. Well guess what? That hasn't happend. I am sitting hear trying to write my personal statment so I will be accepted into grad school. This is a step I have been preparing for since elementary school and you would think I would take things seriously, sit my butt down and write something good. So why can't I? The blogging was suppose to help in times like this. I was hopeing it would give me the writing muscles to sit down and free write on any topic. All i can do is free write on random thoughts that come into my head. They aren't even interesting thoughts. :P

Did I ever happen to mention that I am in the process of applying to grad school? Well I have been trying to write a decent personal statement, and so far I am unsuccessful. This just really sucks. :P . So do you like how I have been tweaking the layout. Yay or Nay?

Somewhere I must have mentioned the words physics and cheerleading in the same sentence because I get a lot of hits from search engines for the physics of cheerleading. Just for the record people, I *might* have been a cheerleader, (I am trying not to incriminate myself here), and physics is cool and all, but I can't tell you about it ok. Its not something I am interested in or have read up on. So I hope you find your information, but its not going to be here.
Anyway my car is really dead. I am an offical commuter now, or at least for two weeks until I get my dads truck. I was going to get this truck anyway, its just a little sooner then I thought.

My car doesn't like me anymore. So tomorrow i have to drop it off to be fixed and so I am now left to experience the wonderful world of public transport in LA Co. Public transport in LA SUCKS. People here rely way to heavily on cars. But anyway I am happy that there is a train station near my house and near my work and that there is a bus that runs near my house and to my campus. It is still going to suck, but what are ya gona do.

I think I need to extend my me page because I really don't think it fully captures why I am so different and unique. Yes people in case you didn't realize I am a one of a kind, I am special and there is no one else in the world like me. I read interesting books, listen to ground breaking progressive music, and only watch quality artistic cinema. All of these things combined make me an interesting person. So don't you think I should write an autobiography so you all know how I came to be this exciting interesting person. I mean honestly how dare I negelct the public and leave out all the information which is really all pertinent to this site. After all anabaena.net, and naomilog.com are dedicated soley to me, the almightly naomi. I am a wonderful, great person and there is no one else like me. I really suffer because no one in the world understands me.
I am sorry about not keeeping up with the fan mail, it does get a little intensive sometimes and so if I am not able to get back to you I am sorry. After all I am not able to write to ALL of my fans. Don't forget to nominate me for the weblog awards. But then again did I really have to remind you to do that? Now everyone lets not forget, I am wonderful, I am me, I am naomi.
note: this was not caffine induced.

bah. I am tired. bah. I went to long beach today. tired, tired, tired. i am going to rent another movie today. I have seen a million movies, I think I am tired of movies now. should I rent pi again for the millionth time or the cell. I haven't seen the cell yet , eh who knows. i want to see pi.
note to self, keep low on the caffine.

Chris and I are going up to see my future study site for grad school today. I just hope its open, but it should be a fun day. Its at this place called short canyon and its like 2 hours from my house. I have to get ready now and stuff.
But before I go I must talk about the most aweful movie in the world which I happed to see against my will last night, but I won't mention the title because its to embarrassing. I blame it all on chris. Maybe its the feminist in me, I don't know but I don't find the objectifying of women amusing in anyway. Especially when they are ojectified in a sexual way, I just find it offensive. I realize these women made the choice to play these roles where they prance around as naked ornaments. But their sole purpose is to be a sexual object; its just gratuitous and it will always offend me. Ok off the soap box now and time to get ready.
note: I would link to short canyon, but apperently the government is having issues.

My vacation ends today because its my first day of classes. Ugh. :( Well I started the New Year great yesterday. Of course I made that old resolution to eat healthy, and maybe even try to become a vegetarian. Well yesterday I went out to Black Angus to eat. I had a whole 7oz. of cow, and decided I could even have a little desert so I ordered a Big Mountain Chocolate Fudge Cake. Oh my God is that thing evil, but it was so good. So it looks like i am off to a good start and I should be shedding those pounds off my ass in no time.
So my class is at 12 today. At least I have only 1 class this quarter and that will leave me more time to work. Hmm I have to redo my schedule.
