This will be a fairly long post, and I understand that most people tend to scan through long posts. I do invite you to try to find the time to read the post in its entirety, none the less.
As many of you may be aware, I left work in April to pursue the Great American Dream. Start a business. Today a stream of news left me in a bit of a position and now I will share all that I can.
Remember the brown coat from Serenity that went for sale on eBay? Well, to hell with that.
Andrei has a new desire. And he only needs 5 grand to make it come true. Yes, this is insane fandom, but at the same time… anyone who had half an interest in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” would be thinking the same thing…
Daddy want… And this time, I promise… I’d give it to my daughter as soon as she got the calling.
I present… m? The collectable.
Ooooh, anyone got $5K they could loan?
So, about this Hunks of Hanukkah thing.
Apparently, I’ve received 3 nominations. And I know for a fact that they aren’t from shimmeringjemmy.
So in the words of Brian in Avenue Q (at least the soundtrack as it’s been cut from the Vegas show), ‘Thanks, everybody!’
I’m kinda really surprised. I guess, now I have to come up with an appropriate picture for voting purposes. I’m more than willing to take advice on this as I really don’t think I’d take something like this on looks alone 😉

You can go to each site and nominate as many LJ members as you will. I nominated an unreleased number of people off my list. *shrug*
About once every X months, I get a message from the same loser on Yahoo.
Hey buddy, you ever like to play kinda rough with guys? you ever use any nerveholds? sleepers? “energy” pressurepoints?
The first time in September of 04, I tried to politely communicate that it wasn’t my thing. He kept steering the conversation to violent energy usage. Finally I responded:
Just out of curiosity, is this the only topic you decided to chat me about. I think I’ve tried to let it run it’s course, but we keep coming back to rough play, and harsh use of pressure points? I’ve tried to politely impress on you that I don’t do it and for the most part don’t approve of it from an occult point of view. But this seems to not be to much effect.
He went away. For 9 months. On 3/31/05 I got the exact same message from the same luser.
I responded immediately:
Haven’t we been through this already? You had the wrong guy when you messaged me in July, and 9 months later, I am still straight and don’t play rough with other men. I don’t play with other men.
He responded: Sorry, forgot you!
8/1/05 (only 5 months this time)
Same IM, same message.
I respond:
How many times are we going to go through this until you stop asking me. What mailing list are you going thru to pull my ID? I need to unsubscribe from it. You don’t even change your line. Every 3 months the same thing.
sorry! I;ll put you ignore
Put me on don’t message any more. What list do you keep pulling my name off of? The next time I get your flyby messaging the log will be filed and reported.
So… today… 9/9/05, barely a month… (He must be getting more desperate)
I’d had enough. Captain Aries decided to put on the strangle hold:
Congrats. You’re about to be banned. Please mark this ID down. As I didn’t appreciate this on 7/1/04, 3/31/05, 8/1/05, and today. May I suggest that you log off and not use Yahoo ever again. As it seems as you are not able to not only use it in a mature manner, but can’t even seem to track anyone down to join in your kink and you have to keep recycling the same IDs every x months. By banned, I don’t mean blocked. I mean Yahoo abuse will now be contacted and your acct will be terminated. You have been requested to not message me on 3 previous occassions. 3 strikes. Your gone.
Why yes, I do keep my logs.
Why yes… I did write Yahoo.
Now understand… Each person has a right to whatever kink they have. AS LONG and I repeat in caps with bold AS LONG as it is with a willing and consenting person. Believe it or not, morons of the world. NO, does in fact mean, “NO.”
