New Site

erin@sff.net — Mon, 19 Feb 07 04:44:00 UT

I'm still building and tweaking and whatnot, so expect a lot of changes, but check out my new journal over at

http://www.erinkelley.net/journal/.

I want to get an email-notification thingy set up, and a few other details, but I think it's coming along nicely.

mythological creature

erin@sff.net — Sat, 4 Nov 06 13:04:00 UT

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

It's like a silly 5 question personality test! Sigh, timewasting.

good news day

Just a fabulous blog entry by Scott Adams, the guy who creates Dilbert. Nice to overcome overwhelming obstacles, at least for a day. http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2006/10/good_news_day.html

six word sci-fi stories

erin@sff.net — Wed, 25 Oct 06 22:07:00 UT

From the people at Wired; I thought they were fun. They got a surprising number of authors to join in the fun:

do you chat?

erin@sff.net — Mon, 23 Oct 06 14:58:00 UT

So I just downloaded trillian. It's been forever since I actually had a chat program. My chat username for yahoo and aol is "erinlovesthis". Do you chat? And if so, what program do you use? I'm curious.

wedding pics

erin@sff.net — Fri, 13 Oct 06 12:01:00 UT

Bear in mind we had no professional photographer, so all our photos are fabulously taken by our friends. (Jesse took over 150 photos.) So these are thanks to my mom, my brother, Kaija, Jesse, Renee, and Michelle. (Gwen, Mary, Ivy and Al also took lots of great photos for us--once I get them all I may have to upload some others!)

Yes, I did in fact drive in my wedding dress. Mom drove us to the bar that night so we could drink.

Some ceremony pictures:

I love the pics people took of us on the landing next to the winery:

Since the ceremony was over we could kick back and relax (heh):

("Bride with beer" says Sean...) Actually this may be pre-ceremony, I'm not sure--I didn't hide pre-ceremony, so it's hard to tell. (Sean's hair is tied back, which makes me think pre.)

And Michelle got a great pic of us walking back up from the vineyard, a photo idea that made sure I was picking insects out of the lace for the next half-hour, including a rather distraught cricket:

I hope someone got some pictures of the car after it was decorated, that was fabulous.

We were very lucky so many friends could make it:

citizenship test

erin@sff.net — Fri, 13 Oct 06 11:22:00 UT

Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

You answered 95% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

(I missed one of the amendment ones, the one that asks which amendment does not involve blah blah and lists them by number to choose... which embarasses me a little.)

married

erin@sff.net — Thu, 28 Sep 06 21:42:00 UT

Sean and I got married on Friday, September 22nd, out at the Forks of Cheat Winery. I had a lovely lovely time.

Pictures soon. :)

Eris!

erin@sff.net — Sun, 17 Sep 06 11:05:00 UT

This is so very very appropriate.

Astronomers name 'world of chaos'

pluto

erin@sff.net — Thu, 7 Sep 06 04:32:00 UT

I think I'm a little sad that Pluto flunked out of planet school. At the very least I think they should grant Charon dwarf planet status and let Pluto have a buddy-delinquent.

And I just have to mention, the idea of gravitationally locked dual planets, even if they are dwarf ones, travelling around the sun together strikes me as a setting with fabulous science fiction possibilities...

robot invasion

erin@sff.net — Sun, 30 Jul 06 16:55:00 UT

Last time I sent you to robot roaches, but this time I'll send you to robot people.

First, the robot girl that scientists in Korea are working on.

And next, the robot replacement a Japanese professor has created for himself. Yes, I suspect the robot invasion is nigh.

what's your beer personality?

erin@sff.net — Sun, 23 Jul 06 15:03:00 UT

You Are Guinness

You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.

what kind of pirate are you

erin@sff.net — Mon, 17 Jul 06 17:20:00 UT

Hehe, they had to ask a tie-breaker question to choose one of the three.

You scored as Mary Read. You are very unconventional, you defy the rules as often as you can and like to take as many risks as possible. You will probably end up living happily under a bridge somewhere laughing at all the unsavory deeds you once instigated.
