Mmmm, banana.

Eh Stad! So where did Alex move the board to? Or is it just done?

I swear I don’t work for Livejournal but... you guys could TOTALLY do what you were doing there over here. You wouldn’t have to post updates to your own personal journal. You guys could just create a bunch of communities to post to, to keep things on-topic the way you like. And you can set them so that no douches can join – just make them all with moderated membership. You could put something in the userinfo about it being a "closed community" if you wanted. You could post everything "friends-locked" so no one can see stuff but you guys (or whoever else you allow into the communities). On your personal journal you could make filters so if you wanted to post something that say, only Alex and Dazza could see, you could - I could show how to do all this stuff.

You wouldn’t have any ads (once logged in), unless you choose to make the account level "sponsored." And it’s totally FREE. I pay for my account because I like the extra features, but a basic account is free and you can do everything you were doing on the board. And LJ doesn’t go down as often as those boards do. They have periods of slowness, or funkiness with comment-posting, but really not very often.

Yes, I’m selfish – I’d love it if you guys moved here because I’m on here all the time, and I forget to check on the forums I belong to – even with links on the side of my journal I forget.

I think you’d really like it. You wouldn’t have to go crazy joining lots of communities and finding LJ buddies and stuff. You could just use it to connect to those friends if you wanted.

Click on my profile (the "So be it, Jedi" link up there) and just poke around looking at stuff, my communities or my friends or whatever. Of course you won’t be able to see the "locked" stuff but plenty of it is unlocked, and all the profiles are public. Or link Alex over here and tell him to give me the NPMB Anti-Blog spiel, so I can debate with him! Bwahaha.

You could of course do this on Greatest Journal... or Insane Journal... or maybe even *shudder* MySpace? (but I don't think that one's as good for this type of stuff) Just let me know where you’re posting your stuff now, if you’re on another board... or if you’re reverting to the archaic ways of email, copy me on the stuff I’d be interested in.

In other news... the little gray kitten let me pet him/her last night! First time! The poor thing was starving and desperate to keep eating, I think. But hey, I'll take what I can get.

And I have to watch the Miss America pageant next time because one of my Avon customers is the mother of the newly crowned Miss Arizona. Woo! I haven't watched that since I was a little girl.

You sell Avon? Can I ask you if you like it? And how much it was to start up?

I'm thinking about doing something like this just a side thing to make some extra spending $$ for us. I've been looking into some different options, like selling Mary Kay (which has a $100 start up cost :-( ..and I don't wear much makeup, so I would seem like a hypocrite), selling Avon, doing some advertising work on the side, and just working on different websites to get some extra $$.

Thanks!

I do like it! You can do as much or as little with it as you want, and it's fun. And it's only $10 to sign up! At least it was when I started a few years ago. You could look online, I think you can put your name in on there and someone in your area will contact you about signing up. I don't make a lot of money because 1) I'm lazy 2) I buy too much for myself! -but it's like getting all my beauty and hygiene products for free. Even if you don't wear a lot of makeup, there's other fun stuff in there like housewares and bubble bath... clothing...shampoo... you wouldn't be a hypocrite :) I don't wear that much either, really. The website I go to is www.youravon.com, but I don't remember if that's a representative only site... you could try www.avon.com if that doesn't work.

Well that's really cool. That might be just the thing for me, because if I decide after awhile I don't have time/don't want to do it anymore then I won't be out.

Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it. I wish there was some way I could credit you for me joining (if I end up doing so).

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, you might be able to. I'll email you my full name and phone # because I think that's all you'd need :)

With that title and the personal clicky note for me, I was thinking you somehow came up with a Big O and Dukes pic for me. But you liked Drab the best for his Leo-ness, so it didn't make sense, but I was thinkin maybe the pic converted you to a Banana fan. You prob'ly don't even remember who that is, but oh well. Sidenote with them, I'm so glad to have all the podcasts or I'd be dying at work. I still get to listen to them every night!

No, we're fine with our NPMB. And the first rule of the NPMB is you do not talk about the NPMB. No we don't want an LJ or a MySpace or anything like that. Alex's board is fine (don't worry about the old deletion note on top). Maybe you stumbled on an old link to his old board, which is finally gone due to inactivity. The black one is fine.

What you ought to be doing if you were gonna personally involve me in this post, you should relate it to the fact that you know Miss Arizona's mom - this is a newsflash to me! So, like, HOOK A BROTHA UP!

Oh yeah, and since I can't edit, I'm gonna do the ol loserly reply to self to add that "Early Winter" is not the song. The single I'm hearing is "4 in the Morning" - I saw the video too, and it's cool cuz it's all Gwen. Some people might find that to be egotistical, but screw that, she's a star, it makes sense to show her the whole time. And it exemplifies her reflective state in the song. So give it some more listens if you haven't paid much attention to it. EW sounded good on first listen, but 4itM does sound like the better radio hit.

Well it's good to hear that she can do some decent music on her own after all, cuz I can't bear to listen to your stupid song, the girly poptastic "Sweet Escape." I see on your Itunes that it also features Akon - BLECH. No wonder it sucks. I always switch off of it so fast on the radio that I never get to an Akon part. If she just stays away from the mega-poppy crap and the pop hip hop junk, she can make nice music. But that's the problem with her doing solo stuff, cuz it gives her the chance to do that aforementioned garbage, cuz she can't do it in No Doubt. By the way, I heard No Doubt are either back in the studio again or planning on it soon, so that's good news.

Yay No Doubt! I hadn't heard that. I need to get the rest of Gwen's album on my iPod so I can hear it more. I don't even know who Akon is...? A background type voice in that song I guess.

And as for Miss Arizona - it's actually Mom's coworker, so Mom would have a better chance of hooking you up! But I've met her before (the mom, not the daughter) because she's come and picked stuff up from me here at work when she's been off.

Alex's board is fine? I thought it had to be moved? Can you email me a new link or something? I think I might just have to figure out why it wasn't letting me log in. I dunno.

I don't remember anything about bananas... I don't think?

The second rule of the NPMB is... you do not talk about the NPMB.
