So this is the second time i've updated the layout design in the past two journals. So sue me, I like change.

Anyway, I GOT 2,000 PAGEVIEWS!!! Holy crapola. When I joined this site back in 2005, I didn't think I would get past 1,000. xD Thanks to everyone for their support and comments, it means so very much to me.


On to business. My new camera. This has been a bitch of an affair from the start. I'll explain:

1st time around: Supplier ran out of stock, and said it was going to be a few weeks before they'd get it in. I cancelled order, got my money back.

2nd time around: Actually got the camera, but turned out to be defective. Returned it, got my money back. Again.

3rd time around: Ordered from different company, a reputable one at that. Here it is: [link]
As you can see, comes with a whole bunch of extras, which will be nice since it saves me buying them later on. All it needs is a decent tripod!

Second order of business: University. This thing has literally taken over my life. And for the next few weeks, it's not that bad...but once the last part of may/start and middle of july comes, i'm going to be extremely busy with exams and all. So if you don't see me in dAmn or on MSN then, don't be surprised...it's just university assraping my soul.

Third order of business: Mood swings. I've been having these lately. And I have no idea why. It's not like i'm a woman and have these because of the menstrual cycle or anything! I don't know why I get them...just these moods where I CBF'ed talking to anyone for no apparent reason. Maybe that counsellor was right when he said I am bi-polar. Hmm. Must check into that.

Fourth order of business: The new rules in dAmn. If you haven't read them yet, check it out here. Particularly, these passages:

• • Any user who becomes too sexually explicit in an officially recognized chat room will be kicked from the chat room. Repeat offenders will be suspended from dAmn for some period of time appropriate for the situation.

• • The standard penalty for sexual role play or explicit sexual discussion while accessing dAmn will be a two week minimum site suspension.

Remember that, guys. If you're being frisky with a fellow chatter, and an admin kicks you for no apparent reason, that's why. It's to deter online sexual predators... which is reasonable. I guess.

Anyway, that's all from me for the moment. Adios.
