HBI's_girl's Journal: Hello World!

Hmm, well I am not sure how often I will actually use my journal but it seemed like I should at least say something, if only to not have a blank white page staring back at me when I clicked on journal.

I am pretty much your slashdot newbie. HBI actually had to just talk me through adding him to my friends list... For any of you who actually read his journal entries, I am obviously his girlfriend. I suppose I could be some sort of stalker fan of his, but instead I am actually more screwed in the head cause I am dating him! (heehee, joking of course)

So I guess things you need to know about me. If you are reading this, I must apologize. I am very much a stream of conciousness type of writer, so any journal entries I write are probably gonna jump around a lot. But hey I know what I mean right? For those of you who have no clue what that means, I'll fill ya in. Way back when, when I was in Junior High, I had a lit professor (but I think we just called him a teacher then) who had us do stream of conciousness journals. The rules were as follows: you sit down for 10 minutes and just write... You don't think about what you are writing, you just write whatever comes to your head. And you definitely do not go back and edit what you wrote later.

Its actually a pretty cool little exercise and its kind of my non assignment writing style. (Emails, journal entries, etc) If its a paper or something that I actually get graded on or affects jobs or whatever I do proof read, but god... a proof read journal is no fun at all.

So yeah... anyway. I guess I have lurked around on here for a few months now. I generally just look at stuff HBI has posted or journals of a few of his friends. He threatened at one point to get me out of lurker status, but I assure you my appearance has nothing to do with him... well except for the fact that he does post here. But he didn't convince me to join in on the fun.

I think I am interested to see how my stay here goes... I generally try to not keep up with politics etc. I guess I could describe myself as a borderline geek. I understand the whole computer science, coding, technology stuff, but I generally don't seek out info about it. So I think it will be quite some time before I actually make comments on non journal threads. But hey, I did join /. so I guess its possible I could start posting on non journal threads someday.

I think I have bored you enough for now... yes you! The one person who is reading this :) Perhaps I will say more later.

Real Programmers don't use Pascal. :-)

Didn't you get the memo?

public class HelloWorld {

System.out.println("hello world!");

Warning: do not compile and execute code from Slashdot. I ain't running that. There's no telling what it'll do!

echo "Hello World"

Welcome HBI's Girl! Hope there's no feminist out there to object to your choice of username. Ouch, bad pun :P

Slashdot Journal can be quite addictive - a fact probably explained by the 'Friend' concept. You like someone's comment on a story, you add him to your Friends list, then presto, his journal posts show up [slashdot.org]. If only they have RSS feeds now :)

welcome!

[ceejayoz]

Hello and welcome! :-)

Hello back at ya

[MonTemplar]

Oh yeah, the blue dot means you're on my Friends list.

Hope to see ya around the Journals.

-MT.

hey there

Greetings!
You are welcome in our domain anytime! When is your and HBI's next visit! :)

Re:hey there

[HBI's_girl]

Actually :-) I am going up there over V'day weekend. And then again over Spring break (thought plane tickets have not yet been bought for that).

Re:hey there

[PreviouslySeen]

Cool, you'll have to come down for a visit again!

Greetings and Salutations

Hello! Welcome to the wonderful and weird world of /. journal land.

Be prepared for anything and nothing. Some pointers:

1. Don't tangle with GMontag... but *do* correct his spelling every chance you get.

2. Watch out for Mekkab -- and his rather remarkable vocabulary

3. SamTheButcher -- if you need any questions answered regarding obscure music he's your man.

4. Sielwolf -- always read his entries. If you can fully understand them, consider yourself in the upper tier of /. intellectual elite.

5. Food talk

Re:Greetings and Salutations

[HBI's_girl]

Heehee. Thanks for the advice :-) I'll see what I can do about joining the /. upper tier of intellectually elite... but maybe I should make sure HBI is part of that crowd first... would be a pity to show him up you know. *grins* Bethanie and Technolust I am familiar with from my lurking days. But I LIKE reading his sappy entries about Boo. They're so cute, but then I guess I just proved definitively that I am, in fact, female.

Watch out for the Journaling Trolls.
[Friendly grin, flash of obsidian teeth]

Some of us are gneiss [slashdot.org] but many are just schist [slashdot.org] disturbers. ;-)

Cool, Some Woman brought eats. Halleflinta soup my fav.

Welcome!!!

[bethanie]

I'm so excited that you've decided to join us, and delighted to meet you!

Since you say you've lurked for a while (and are familiar with me, in particular -- innuendo, yes; interesting analysis -- completely a matter of opinion!!), then you obviously know it's OK not to be a capital-G Geek around here. It's kind of a common thread, but certainly not the only thing that we talk about (the first cluster of replies to this JE notwithstanding -- and since HBI made at least two of them, then you must be somewha

From my online persona to yours...

[Some Woman]

..a hearty slashdotian welcome!

Feed the trolls. They like it.

so ummm...

[Eye of the Frog]

yeah, so.....where's your nation? [slashdot.org]

Oh, and welcome. :)

[Eye of the Frog]

Hrm, oddly enough, your nation isn't showing up. I tried the link and a search. hrm......

Re:so ummm...

[HBI's_girl]

I rule the Most Serene Republic of Monetity [nationstates.net]. *laughs*

Ok so I just signed up tonight, but it looks like its pretty fun

Re:so ummm...

[Eye of the Frog]

Goose-worm? Riiight.... :) Anyways, you'll probably want to join the Solemndragons backyard region. If you do, you can send me [nationstates.net] or Solemndragon [nationstates.net] a telegram in the game for the password. However, I'm guessing interest will only last another month or so, that's just how things go. *shrug* Though I have been know to be wrong on rare occasions.

Welcome

Welcome! Always good to see someone new entering out crazy /. circle of people who know nothing about each other except what we read in their journals :)
