Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. – Kurt Vonnegut
I have been getting headaches nearly every single day for the past 2 weeks, and I know that it is caused by the stress that’s currently in my life. Sadly, I cannot get rid of the majority of the stress…but when it comes to online stress and uncompleted websites, I can. This means I have several domains registered at co.cc that I would love to get rid of, so if you are needing hosting and you’d prefer to have a domain – let me know as soon as possible. I’ll post a list of exactly what I have available in the next couple of days.
Another thing that I am doing to reduce the amount of online stress is to cancel memberships to accounts that I am no longer interested in maintaining. However, the problem with doing this is that I have to remember what e-mail address that I used to register with and then remember the passwords. :eek: The bright side of my doing this is that it makes me go through the drawers and baskets of loose paper that I have, looking for account information, which in turn helps with my goal of getting my bedroom cleaned.
Speaking of goals, I am sure that some of you remember my posting a list of goals I’d like to accomplish a week or so back. Sadly, I have made very little progress on those goals, which were:
- Complete the domain section of this website.
- Install remaining hacks on VintagedMB.
- Create a 125×125 link button for the site.
-
Go grocery shopping.1 - Bake gluten-free brownies.
- Bake sugar-free cupcakes. 2
- Clean my room. 3
- Contact SIU-C about going back to school.
- Remove unneccessary items from my e-reader and my iPod.
- Finish installing brushes, fonts, etc. on Della. 4
- Start going to bed by midnight.
Obviously, I am not very good at accomplishing my goals…so I guess that I need to figure out what I am good at doing. Or start making easier goals!
I guess that I will go work on one of my numerous, never-to-be-finished projects…or take a nap. Here are some questions for you:
What are you best at?
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
Hi! I'm Jessica, 31, and living in SoIL. I'm a wannabe writer, herbal tea drinker, chronic insomniac, and potential Creative Writing/Psychology major. I love Black & White photography, Shakespeare, anything vintage, and carrot cake with chocolate milk. I'm impatient, indecisive, frivolous, and slightly anal-retentive...but I'm also honest or blunt, highly imaginative, easily amused, and very emotional. 
Haha. Facebook can be such a major distraction at times.
I also need to clean up my room too. Bleh.

What are you best at?
I am best at playing guitar, painting, and shopping
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
No since I’m not a photographer, but if you do you should tell me because I love photography and I’d want to see the entries
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
Hmm . . . depends on what kind of icon I’d be making. But most likely yeah
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
Probably not. I don’t think I’m fashionable enough xD
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
It depends on what kind of prizes. Maybe
And I know this doesn’t mean much over the internet, but I wish you the best regarding your stress! I’m a Junior in high school in a very dysfunctional family so I have a little taste of what stress is like, haha
Go go go! I think that you can finish your list! The hardest thing is to start going to bed by midnight. =P
I am probably best at playing flute, if anything. I don’t actually think that I’m really incredibly good at anything. Also, I tend to stay away from contests, so my answer to your other questions would be no.

I hear you on the stress. When I’m stressed out I also have a problem actually doing all the things I need to do. It gets to a point when it all feels overwhelming.
Cool that you’d like to exchange Christmas cards. I’ll e-mail you my address.
What are you best at?
Creativity. Digital and traditional painting and web design mostly but I’ve done everything from pottery to building furniture.
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
No, I’m not a great photographer.
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
Depends on the prize.
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
Depends on the concept of the contest.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
No, I can barely afford prizes for my own contest.
Your contact page isn’t working so I can’t find your e-mail. Could you e-mail me your address for the Christmas card exchange then?

I said, what’s up what’s up what’s up HEEEY!
Your site is cute – I have a whole bunch of things to do as well. It’s ridonkulous
What are you best at? Procrastinating
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one? No, only because I’m rubbish at taking photographs
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one? Yes, because I LOVE making icons
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one? No, because my fashion sense is terrible
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one? Sure, depends what kind

I HATE headaches. I hope you’ll feel better soon, even with stressful moments in your life! Drinking loads of water may help!
What are you best at?
Writing. And I don’t mean blogging but poetry and other forms of literature.
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
Probably not!
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
Yes.
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
No but I know a friend who would.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
That would depend on the type of prizes required!
I’m sure you’ll be able to complete all your goals sooner or later.
And to relieve your stress just a tiny bit – maybe some meditating could help? Or maybe you could work on something you love. Like for example, I know when people are stressed or angry, they start to paint.
What are you best at?: Probably creative writing and purposely getting on people’s nerves.
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?: I’m not much a photographer, so maybe no. The only photos I take are from my phone…
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?: Sure!
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?: No, my fashion is nothing to be excited over. Haha.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?: Maybe not since I just bought $50+ worth of Christmas presents and I still need to purchase books and materials for next semester of college.
Aw, I’m sorry you’ve been ill lately. :X It could be due to stress, right? I always find myself getting wicked sick whenever I’m stressed. I’m a mess.
Good luck completing your list. You can do it!
What are you best at? Being shy…. but since that probably doesn’t count, I’m a pretty good baker!
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one? I’m terrible at photography, so no, sadly. x(
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one? I’m also terrible at making icons, so no again.
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one? Oooh, maybe.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one? What types of prizes?
Take care!
Paige recently posted..Where I’ve been
Somehow that’s one of the reasons why I don’t like keeping a lot of websites online. For three years i’ve only had one domain and that’s the one I have now. I can’t imagine juggling numerous blogs / websites all at the same time :\
As for goals, you should keep in mind that it’s best to keep a list (like what you’re doing now) just to stay on track if you know what I mean. You can do it! It all boils down to time management
Good luck!

Hey…how are you???
and do take care…i knw how irritaing headaches can be.
Hey actually i do need a domain…..i won’t mind a co.cc domain at all…..plz let me knw about it….if you can plz mail me…i’m currently working on a sub-domain i got hosted for so i’m not much on the webs site…btw would you mind if i link you on my new sub-domain as an affie…plz reply soon esp about that domain part!
I think it’s interesting that you actually write your account information out on slips of paper. I tend to use the same password for everything (I know that’s bad :X), so I don’t bother, but sometimes if I have to use a weird password for whatever reason, I will email myself the information. I guess I don’t really remember all the sites I’ve registered with, though, so writing it down would be helpful in that respect!
I have a lot of stress in my life now too because I’ve had a really busy semester. :/ I generally get a lot of headaches (I have a small one right now!), but the biggest thing for me that comes with stress is acne. My face has broken out like MAD this semester and it kills me that there’s nothing I can really do about it because I can’t just lower my stress levels. At least I have a break coming up…
Don’t worry too much about finishing everything on your list! That will just add more stress; take your time.
Good luck with it, though.
What are you best at?
I don’t know!
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
Probably not; I’m a shit photographer! (I’m planning to learn though, yay.)
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
It would depend on how inspired I felt by the picture you provided and also on how much time I had.
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
I don’t think so.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
Maybe! Depends what you would need.

Last year I sat down and went through every. single. account. I had online and closed those I were no longer interested in, and ZOMG how tedious it was! Not only do you have to remember the email address you picked, if you have forgotten the password you also need access to said email account… which is not always the case
It was so much work, I’m much more selective when creating accounts now (do I really really need this?).
What are you best at?
Artsy fartsy stuff, like drawing and design.
Would you enter a photography contest if I held one?
I know absolutely nothing about photography but I think it’s fun so… yes, probably. And make a fool out of myself in the process XD
Would you enter an icon contest if I held one?
I’d might, icons are fun
Would you enter a fashion contest if I held one?
Depends what sort of fashion and style we’re talking about.
Would you be interested in providing prizes for a contest if I held one?
Probably not, sorry :/
