Hello smile

I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.

Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...

Here's to the slow path

Random Destructive Flip-Out Moments

When I was younger, if I was trying to make something and it wasn't going well, I would occasionally get so frustrated with whatever it was that I was doing that I would take something Large And Heavy™ and whack it several times until it was completely smashed.

It was cathartic, but only momentarily — obviously regretting what I'd done within nanoseconds.

Even though my frustration-based temper has calmed over the years (to the point where I'm as laid-back as you can get) I still have slightly tendancies sometimes to take a 'virtual axe' to things.

Sometimes, I just want to scream "No! It's! All! Shite!" manically at the screen, and hit the delete button.

Sometimes, I just want to scream "No! It's! All! Shite!" manically at the screen, and hit the delete button.

I do that with code sometimes. I've also found that these new fangled monitors are nowhere near as satisfying to get hold of and shake furiously as my big old 19 inch CRT one was. The old one is still under the table, as I cannot be arsed carrying it down two flights of steep steps to throw it out and the window opens onto a busy street, but it doesn't work shaking that when the offending code is on my new one.

Not seen a new one of these for a while — nice. I wonder what your inspiration could be... :wink:

Nice... Very Twin Peaks.

Throwing a packet of polos is great catharthis — smashes with a satisfying crack — and then all you have to do is spend the next 10 minutes shame-facedly picking up bits from the back of cupboards, sofa, bookcases etc.
