There was Silence until the Empty Cyber Space Seemed to Echo

Silence ain't golden.

Because even though I did shut-up for once, I didn't get even remotely rich...

I'm also ever so slightly perturbed to note that I'm returning to an almost empty blog! (I swear I didn't touch anything or try to upload anything (again) by my-highly-unqualified-self that I wasn't supposed to! Honestly, oh, Web-Goddess!)

Now, I'm all for minimalism and yes, I'll even admit that the empty space does seem very Zen-like while also allowing for an intense and uninterrupted look at her gorgeous design, but I'm also just a touch unnerved by the fact that I've seemingly stepped into some sort of Blog Bermuda Triangle.

Is that some kind of Punishment for Lazy Bloggers Who Go for Weeks Without Updating that I wasn't aware of..?

Before I enlist the help of my rescue cavalry yet again, let's see if this entry also gets sucked into the same mysterious cyber vortex* as the rest.

*Saw the following bit somewhere (but can't remember exactly where, otherwise I would've linked it): Apparently the cyber equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle is known as the Trippy Triangle. Am I tripping? Or is that really well-known (or even obscure, then) Geek Speak for it?

*L* Actually, that's just because the index is set to have a certain amount of posts showing on it, based on date - usually 7 or so. So if you haven't posted in over a week, then your index will look blank. *grin* You've not been sucked into vortex, just quiet.

And welcome back! *grin*

How was your trip?

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
