Welcome to Plume's superfantastic extraordinary megabrilliant 1001st entry!

Nah, I don't think we'll be doing that.

I should point out, though, that I got yesterday's firework animation from this page. So contrary to popular belief I didn't grow an artistic bone and make it myself.

It's a long, cold Sunday. Suffering in the aftermath of the 1000th extravaganza. I took the time to go through my links. Remove some people who haven't updated in months. Add some new. And I also redid my dland favourites. Mainly by removing all but 2. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. I know I hate when people take me off of their faves. But really, you're all still (hopefully, let me know if it's not the case) in my links entry so it's not that I don't like you anymore. I love you all.

I love Dominia a little more. She sent me an amazon gift certificate for 25$ to congratulate me. Now that is class. If more people were like her then I'd be a happier person. Err, I mean a richer person. You know. Hehe. Big thanks to Paula.

Now if only I had a VCR that could use ntsc. Or is it my TV? Either way I guess I can't order Lord of the Rings. But that won't get me down. I'm happy.

So. In the spirit of giving and celebrating my 1000th entry. I will give you something. Something unique. I will give you me. Skye is drawing a picture of us as merpeople. Merboy and mermaid. Or mergirl. Or whatever. It's going to be very sweet. Anyway. We got talking. And... well I took some pictures of myself in the shower earlier... Uh oh, I bet you don't like where this is going hehe. No but eh, yeah. She thinks I should show you one. And I guess I will. See, the thing is I'm not very happy with the way I look. At all. That's probably why I spend my life hiding away from people. Possibly. Basically I'm just a big, fat, ugly, pale, dorky freak. Yes. Or maybe that's the self-loathing talking. I don't know. But Skye still sees something beautiful in me. I don't expect that you'll see anything beautiful in me. In fact I've had this recurring living bad dream that if I ever showed myself here then people would stop reading my diary. Silly eh? But if you don't like pale white flesh then you might want to not look at the picture (don't worry it's not pr0n or anything). It's not like it really shows the every-day me so well anyway. But it's me?

And maybe I should just stress one thing for those of you who haven't read the faq. I'M NOT A GIRL!!!11. No naked chicks. Okay. picture me.

There you go. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and recover from my insanity and take the pic down. Who knows. Maybe I should become a camgirl. I have at least finally joined the ranks of the many, the proud who have put up naked pictures of themselves. I actually thought of calling this entry "myself, nude" in the hope of attracting readers. But I guess it would be false advertising. Something like "gross" would have been more appropriate.

Okay, I will stop insulting myself. It's your turn now. Hope to see a few of you tomorrow after all. Sweet dreams (insert evil laugh).
