I ran across an article about Intelligentpeople.com, a new dating service for smart people. My initial thought was "Cool! I'd love to only meet men who can talk of something other than TV" but the writer of the article was a little rude, saying, "This was actually someone's clever notion of how to wall off a really annoying demographic from the rest of the dating pool."
As someone who has tested between 145 and 151 (I've taken an IQ test more than once) I feel that excluding people like him will wall off a really annoying demographic for the the rest of us. Men who want mating partners without brains in order to make themselves look better.

| I got my own web domain. I got my own web domain. (happy dance) |
[May. 4th, 2008|08:10 pm] |
Yes, I finally went and bought a web domain. I was at a Marketing class especially for Massage Therapists Saturday and the instructor was adamant about everybody getting a domain. She said to go to GoDaddy.com as the cheapest.
So, I checked w/ an IT person whose opinion I trust who verified that GoDaddy was ok so I went to it and got my name of course; then I tried my business name but it was taken so I got stephaniemassage.com
instead. Right now it only has basic information but I have plans to get a nice website that has instructional articles for better health. :)
I think I ended up w/ a good one. It's easy to remember. Clients will remember my first name, but my last name not so much. It doesn't slpell anything funny when its put together. (something the instructor warned us about).
So, I'm very happy. |

A thank you to my valuable friend ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) k_crow for posting this and since I'm not as handy as she is at the lj stuff, I copied the link:

The post is called "Don't be that Guy" and I think its important enough to keep in my journal for future reference.
Thanks again to k_crow |

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.
Well, today I listened to
1. Web of love - Echos Children
2. She is gone - Echos Children
3. Lady of Setlif Mannor - Marc Gunn
4. No Hurry - Vixy and Tony
5. Apprentice - Vixy and Tony

I had a notice that somebody had made me their friend, so as usual, I checked out their journal/profile to see who it might be.
Well, the journal had no entries at all. period.
THIS was very suspicious, but maybe they were a new person.
I look at their profile and it had lots and lots of names listed as friends, but no pic and not any information about them but a movie box with a notation that to see who they were click the movie.
The movie self started and tried to dowload something into my computer that McAfee stopped and I had to close my browser because it locked it up.
I flagged the journal then banned them from my friends list.
Yes, I am disgusted and pissed.
So if anyone else gets a friend notice from moska_5 don't bother trying to find out who they are, just ban them and save yourself the work. |

To Jeff and Jailynn (sp?) who rescued me from losing my keys-to-everything-in-my-life.
You see, when I got home from Norwescon tonight I couldn't find my keys. Anywhere. Not in my purse, not in my suitcase not in any bag/box/container I had brought back w/ me from the con.
Panic ensued.
I remembered that on Saturday I couldn't find my jacket and thought I had maybe left it in the car but it wasn't there either. I asked raishaan if he remembered where I might have left it and he said he didn't remember me having one. Since I really wasn't sure which one I had, I concluded that I had forgotten a coat in the chaos of getting to the con w/ two children (mine and his).
Turns out I had brought one and my keys were in the pocket of the coat I had originally thought I had brought to the con but misplaced. (That was figured out in a long rambling manner that you don't want to read-trust me.)
I called the hotel and they didn't have it. I knew most of the people I had cellphone #s for had left, except Jeff and maybe runnerwolf . I called him first because his name is 1st in my phone list and yes, he so sweetly agreed to check the convention lost and found and got my coat w/ keys still in pocket. Turns out Jailynn had found it but didn't know whose it was so had taken it to lost and found to keep it safe. I drove up there and met them in the lobby and gave them both hugs.
So I am so very, very grateful to them both for saving me from a moderate disaster in my life.
(please forgive me for mangling her name-I looked at the Conflikt concom list but didn't find her listed) |

Yeah, I'm feeling lonely today. My kid is with his dad. raishaan forgot to plug in his cell last night, so I can't reach him. I want to talk to someone, but I'm not sure who'd want me to bug them. Most of my friends have busy lives. Not that I'm trying to guilt trip anyone, of course. Heck, I usually have a busy life. Maybe I'm just not sure what to do when I have nothing to do. :)
Well, I'll be going over to my parents for dinner this eve, so I shouldn't be lonely much longer. Talking to my parents isn't my first choice, but I know it won't be boring. LOL |

| 10,000 BC mini-review |
[Mar. 8th, 2008|01:17 am] |
I just got home (yes it is past my bedtime) from seeing a move withraishaan. He picked 10,000 BC because it was the only one that started late enough I could get to after I got off work at 10pm. When the credits rolled, I thought "Oh, it was ok." but when we walked out the clock outside the theater said it was after midnight. It didn't seem like it was a two hour movie; if it held my attention for that well that I lost my sense of time, maybe it was better than 'ok'.
Hollywood makes a few passing references to Atlantis, the pyramids and the Spinx. I was glad they didn't go into much detail about them because they usually are clueless and go for only the "wow" factor, even if it's completely brain dead.
The move did have a happily-ever-after ending. So the cynic in me went "blech." :)
Over all? It was worth the 2 hours to see.
Good night everybody. |

| Writer's Block: Who Pays the Deducitble? |
[Feb. 22nd, 2008|11:48 am] |
Yes. It was *you* that caused the crash. I was taught to clean up your own messes. If you don't, it can kill your friendship with that person and that's the best reason to pay the deductible in my worldview. |

It's a physical headache this time, not a relationship headache. ([chuckle], raishaanis having one of those right now with his ex. poor guy)
I woke up w/ mine. Neck stretches help, but what I really need is a massage. Yes, the massage therapist needs a massage. :)
Fortunately, I got ahold of the person I exchange massages w/ and she was available thursday. I just have to make it until then.

I can't find the powercord for my PDA and it needs to be charged. I have to have a working PDA. My life is in it! Arrrrggghhh!!!!
If I don't find it in the morning, I have to go out and buy another one, I don't have anything else that fits and plugging it into the USB port doesn't charge it (I tried).
Things like this suck. |

I been listening to the Conflikt 1 brunch CD and I just love the song "Ariel" by Katy and Steve. It is awesomely beautiful. She has a voice that would put an angel to shame and he is quite talented with his guitar. Wow. They are so good, if raishaan and I get even close to their level I will be very, very happy. :) |

| Home again |
[Jan. 27th, 2008|05:59 pm] |
I'm back home after conflikt. Whew! that was some weekend. I feel bad about having to leave earlier than the rest of the concom, sadly I had to leave at 5pm so I can get my kid back from his dad. I'm thinking that it might be a good thing if Conflikt next year falls on one of my weekends. He'd have other kids to play with, shaddyrbrings her kids and they're well behaved. I will think on this.
I got our GOH's lj handle and I even WROTE IT DOWN, but the paper I wrote it down on go put in Rich's stuff, so I have to bug him to get it included on my friends page. I so want to have him on my friend's page. So much it hurts. He is just so very, very cool and nice and friendly and wonderful to be around. I could say good stuff about him for a very long time, but that would waste ink...ah, not really but y'know what I mean. : )
This con went so smoothly, that it was like the filk gods blessed it. We ended up with over 150 memberships, which was twice what we expected. But even with that many people, nothing bad happened. Whoo-Hoo! We had over 50 pre-reg for next year by the time I left too. (happy dance, happy dance)
I am actually lookjng forward to next year. Rich and I did better than I thought we'd do at the Juried One Shot. We got applause. I don't mean the courtsey clap stuff that well bred filkers do...I MEAN SPONTANEOUS APPLAUSE. It blew my mind. And the judges liked our proformance. Even Steve Macdonald, who said he'd be Simon, only had small stuff to correct us on. I never thought we'd be perfect, so it doesn't bother me that there was SOMETHING that we needed to correct. It was little stuff though. Like I needed to change up more on my emphasis which I knew, but I was so very nervous that I just did it and all the cool stuff we did in rehersal went bye-bye. The worst thing Rich was told was to relax. Mostly, we both had a case of the 'nerves' because we aren't real performers, filk circles are not the real thing, not like what vixydoes. Since we did so well, we decided to maybe get one of the 10 min shots next year. We need to practice a lot for that, but we have a year to do it.
All in all, it was the best con I've gone to in many a year. |

This is an awesome flik con! We had 3 count them THREE filk circles going last night. Two in the main function space and one in hospitality. That is just so F*ING AWESOME!!!!
Our guests are the best and we get to announce tonight our next years best guests!
Steve was such a sweetheart to go over some guitar tips w/ my SO last night- I so owe him. I do I do.
If you can hitchhike, drive or hijack a car to get here, do it! LOL
It is just that awesome. |

The hotel beat everybody in the race to ask me re: negotiating next year. At the pre-con meeting w/ the hotel person (at 9:30am today) she asked me about next year.
So....
1. the hotel loves us and wants us to come back
2. this is a new record for the earliest I've been asked re: next year
So all of you planning on asking me on Friday, you've been scooped!
HaHaHaHaHa! |
