Oh so close I can taste it. I'll be zipping down there Friday as soon as I can BS my way out of work and spending the weekend. I went to Comic-Con last year and had a blast. I'll be the geeky looking guy, carrying a back pack, wearing glasses, being a big fanboy of several webcomic artists and not carrying a deck of cards of any kind. There that ought to single me out well enough for anyone going to find me [heh]. I had to do some fast talking to _not_ get my wife to attend. Honey it'll be thousands of geeks dressing up as Star Trek characters, blathering on about comics, anime, Sci-Fi, etc. Man if she saw some of the cosplay outfits some of the girls wear that would be it for me and I don't even ogle [well not rudely and not much anyway :D ] Anybody else that can make it [ I even know of a Brit webcomic artist that is showing up courtesy of several of his fans donating to his cause] have a really bitchin' time and enjoy! Feel free to post any Cons you liked or experiances. Also... if you have simple pleasures in life, like I do, let me know if you want to know how it went. Hell... post something if you don't want to know how it went :P. Happy Merry Wednesday [good God I gotta cut down on the caffiene and sugar]

I put in a brief bio of myself in case anyone was just dying to know what I do [heh]. In part it was to also give anyone checking me out more information for them to decide if they want to friend/foe me [I try and do a little research]. I find it rather funny that I do lean to Windows and seems to have gravitated to friending Windows users so far. I also have several personal friends who use Linux in one flavor or another [that's one of the reasons I'm playing with Gentoo]. Amusingly enough I seem to have earned a freak on the sole basis of befriending the Bungi. Ah well... I figured that was going to happen as noted in a previous JE.

Well feel free to post.

Of course it got zapped down as overrated later... and even if it was only funny it was a dang 5 WOOT, WOOT. uuhhh thank you... thank you vury much. I'll shoot for 5 informatives and insightful later. for now 5 FUNNY yeah I got no life... simple pleasures, eh? Please see heruh [ala Cartman]. Update 15 minutes later: back to 5 sweet; dang down to 2.

I figured what the hay. I can no longer truthfully say I was riding the Karma roller coaster anymore. I seem to have leveled out a bit and I felt a change was in order.

I went cruising around journals today and added some "friends" as I found their posts and or journals interesting, as Slashdot is frickinâ(TM) huge, so I added them in order to keep better track of when they write something new. If this earns me enemies, ehh, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I view at 0 [mainly to avoid goatse links and the out and out BS] and I will mod no one down. Instead I will reply if I don't think they're trolling and sometimes I'll goof and take the bait *shrug*. I welcome all courteous, funny, off topic, insightful and irrelevant comments. I have a limited tolerance for miscreants and vandals. After all cannot one expect a certain amount of decorum in one's own space [my journal that is]? I do not foresee ever setting someone as a foe, honestly if you are that kind of person it's a lot easier to ignore you than to go to all the trouble of adjusting my settings [yeah I'm really that lazy].

Well that's it for now, feel free to write to me.--S.F.

I went to the FAQ and had to study up on what went with everything entailing friends, fans, foe and freaks. Sheez, this here /. thingy gets a heck of a lot more complicated when you register and start mucking around. I am going to try allowing comments and see how well that goes. Thanks GrimReality. It's nice to be liked.

Well... after a year and a half of lurking and posting cowardly I've finally done it. I enjoy the lively, paranoid, insane, delusional, amazing, humorous and sometimes helpful topics and posts. It's just like family [sigh]
