ADMIN: Commenting Feature

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Sorry I’m behind on replying to comments, but I would like some input from anyone willing to offer it. Presently I have commenting active here on Life Robotic, and on the LiveJournal which syndicates my posts, user: robotgirl. Clearly, it would make more sense to keep all comments together and I’m leaning towards closing comments […]

Birthday: End of the Curse!!

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Friend and foe warned me, months in advance, but I assumed their wisdom was nothing more than a Blink 182 lyric; Nobody likes you when you’re 23. In a few months time, after I had forgotten about the warnings, the prophecy rang true! Time and time again I was dismissed, disrespected, and accumulating an impressive […]
