This is a test, ignore :3 (sorry to make you all rush over but... meh)

Ok first part of test over.

It's due to a discussion I had in the something-forum about exporting diaries. When you export it once, you can't take it back. So if you export your diary, the link will always work, and whoever knows that link will find their way back to your diary, even to the newer entries.

I'll continue not exporting a few days and making entries and seeing if that link still brings to this diary and to those newer entries.

Outside-ET, one day after having stopped exporting

On the 17th I am still available via the link with the newest postings perfectly accessible.

The stop exporting stops the member from being viewed outside-ET, but not the diary. This is my theory, I'll see if the exporting stops on its own in a few days/weeks or something. Curious.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia! 

When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,
if you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris,
or Washington crossing The Delaware.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
When her muscles start relaxing,
up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso.
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on.

Here is Grover Whelan unveiling The Trilon.
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Island.
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba.
Here's her social security number.

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia.
Oh Lydia The Champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
for he went and married Lydia!


If you will ever be unfortunate enough to meet me in Real Life, I must warn you: I intend to become unbearable to those who do not like me singing this song, for I intend to sing it constantly, even to people I don't know. Constantly. Especially when I'm cooking, working, walking or not listening to someone saying something interesting. I'll see how many people I know will learn the lyrics, how many will learn to like the song (due to being so incredibly fond of me o.O My guess: 1, and who that lucky one will be, I have no idea but I hope there's at least one) and how many will learn to leave the moment I open my mouth. :D

Ehh, as for explanation why this is my intention: I'm easily influenced, especially if the influencor is a dead man whose last name is Marx and had a brother or few also of the last name Marx... >_>

20:49:46 [Mom]: NEWS!!! (Like anyone doesn't know this already) I just visited 50 random members...46 were looking for "friends" No art...writing...can you believe it?


*sigh*

I had a talk about photographing artwork for publicity purposes. I also had a talk about Intellectual Property Rights. Now these are both topics of interest fro Elftowners, so I will use the notes of the lecturers to make ET-adapted article-versions of both, because I think places like SPADNAA or even Herald might be interested. So I'll be coughing up some kind of textual ET-contributions soon. :) *likes to contribute stuff since still can't contribute money* I'll see if I can borrow a friend's paypal at any point (I'd borrow Darling's but he's anti-ET)

*edit*
The copyright and intellectual property -wiki here in ET is already very complete and clear, I'm not sure if I'dd have anything to add to that. I could try to do an introduction to patenting, but I'm not quite sure that many Elftowners would be inventors nor have any interest in that... But the photographing art is still worth thinking, since so often people put a bad quality image in contest and say "sorry don't have a scanner". That's no excuse. Even if you have a scanner but don't know how to use it, you'll get bad quality. You just need to know how to take a picture of a drawing, and not many people know the technicalities...

:O

Useful references if I ever go for that Donald Duck fan-arty cover drawing thing... *wants*

From a memberhouse:
If you REALLY LIKE SOMEONE right now AND MISS THEM and can't get them out of your head then

I swear that was it. That was the very end of the bio. Nothing after 'then'. I know it was prolly a mistake, but I appreciate the philosophical quality here: "if you miss someone then... decide for yourself what the hack you should do you worthless lazy worm. Copy-pasting shit is not going to prove anything! Do something about it!"

I need to mention the thing that made me smile yesterday.

I went to home for lunch, and as I walked by the quite busy big road, a white VolksWagon van came from the opposite direction. A young guy was driving, and as he passed, he honked his horn, except it wasn't a horn-sound but the sound of Tarzan flinging from tree to tree ("Ooooleoooleoooleeooleoo!"). I was smiling at the cool honk-sound, he was smiling because he made me smile (I hope :P). It was cool.

Ok foreigners, help me out. :P
one more.

Proof that you can't always go right and sound cool by choosing a Japanese username:

A user here in their house explains about how their nickname came to be and what it means. Unfortunately sometimes a word in one language means 'victory' (japanese) and in another (hindi) that same word means 'women's underwear'. o.O;; I have problems in replying that member's comments without laughing really loudly, and I try not to do that because I don't know how an offensive word iippo is in some language. But still, Nickers is a funny word to use as a name.

Last visitors of [ippopa] (hope you see the link why I find it funny):

This house gets visited by more people I know than my house does! :O

On a march of twelve miles, eleven is halfway.

Song of today (and every fucking day of yet another unbearable winter): Alanis Morissette - I'm a bitch I'm a lover

I hate the world today
You're so good to me I know
But I can't change...

Spring, don't keep me waiting.
