Aye. That be what ye be finding here. Be it a piece of a song, general thoughts, even mass chaos. Whatevet the Keeper, that be me, feels like writing. even if it be in a bad Scottish accent such as this. If'n ye dunna like it, a path out has been lit fer ye below.
Hello all you lovely people. Again, have I been derelict. But that's alright. *smile* Not too much has been happening in my life, a little of this and a little of that. My job as an NG, however, will soon be gone. No, I'm not quitting. No. FortuneCity is eliminating them completely. Rather sad, though good for me. *grin* I will no longer have to scan streets! *dances* Not that I didn't enjoy helping out, but it was a lot to look for! Now, I get to greet people! I get to say hi! Welcome them to the neighborhood, well, sort of. Neighborhoods and Streets as we know them will no longer be around either. Though, we are going to have shorter URLs. That's always a plus. That reminds me. I have to check my message board. Mmmm . . . .
So, I'm in the site fights. I'm doing alright. I need all the help I can get, but then again, who can't? *chuckle* Curious? Jump on over to my Spirit Page and have a look.
Spirit of the Ice Rose
I'm also going to be a Spirit Faery. *chuckles* We'll see how that goes. I got a nice name though. Faery D'Winterlight. Sounds great to me. I can't wait to get my wings. I hope they'll be silver and indigo. *chuckle* Well, I have mail. Perhaps I have an assignment! May the Lady Moon watch over you until the next time we meet. *flutters off to check her mail*

It's a storm! *looks out her window* Lots and lots of snow! Now if only I had a sweetie here with me to enjoy being inside. Warm cocoa, a fire, a blanket, a movie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now, that would be very nice. *smile* I think, however, that I like that movie idea. As soon as I finish up around the page, I'm off! *grin* Enjoy the snow all you east coast peoples!

This day has pretty much just been a gray day. *sigh* FortuneCity was a pain in the you-know-where today. Wouldn't let me upload properly. But, what can I say. It happens to everyone. Pro'ly didn't like me idling or something. There's no telling. Then, mIRC went nuts on me. Rather, the Undernet servers for IRC. Which is - in essence - the same thing. Cut me off from someone I was talking to. Someone I was ENJOYING talking to. *sigh* Someone I didn't want to stop talking to. But I think the elements have it in for me. But, enough of my misery. Here. Have the flowers that came in my mail. Enjoy as they bloom.

Okay, okay, I've been derelict in my duties to this page. I've been through some exams and some depression, though I think I'm on the way up from that. Exams went well, helping me land a whopping 4.0 for a GPA this semester. Good stuff for me. I was pleased. The depression was unpleasant - isn't it just always? - but, I think I'm coping. At least I know I was, though I haven't really told anyone I know. But then, I was never a good talker. Writer, sure. Talker, no.
But, I'm getting back to this now. Luciana gave her ngs the month off for the holidays and that's near up. I'll have to start scanning once more. Mmmm. Where DID I leave off. Lord. I have to root up my logbook. It's in this room - somewhere. I've also - horror of horrors - entered this site into a 'fight.' Just a little friendly competition, but I don't know. *chuckle* We'll see how well I do. I have to do some sprucing up, however, to get it ready for the fight. A little of this, a little of that. It's going to take some work, I think. I'll have the spirit page up soon. Come on by and visit. Vote too! *chuckle* I'll need all the help I can get. *grin*
I think that's about all for this page for now. There will be more, I'm sure, as I update the thing for competition. I'm off to see about the index page. *groan* I've been meaning to fix that up. So terribly awry and in a mess. Ugh. I'm off. Blessed Be and may the moon watch you and yours.

Site underwent a redesign today. I finally broke down and created what I wanted rather than looking for something that might be close. It was a stretch for me, but, I persevered and - voila! This is what happened. I'm rather pleased myself. I'm not finished with the set, but it's a start. I just hope no one steals it. *chuckle* It was hard enough for me to figure out certain things.
So, I need to put the poems from the poetry contest up in the Christmas section. I think that is the next big project. That is, after I tell everyone the contest has been extended until the eleventh of Decemeber. I'm hoping to generate some more interest that way. It shall be interesting.
November 24, 1999
Alright, so it's been a while since I wrote anything in here. I've been - well - distracted. Schoolwork and a guy I call R. *chuckle* He's a cutie. *smile* Though, he lives too damn far away from me. Bah.
Anyway. Having neglected my NG duties for long enough, I have returned to to scan and scan and scan. I'm going to see how much I can get done this weekend. Should be interesting. There are 1100 homes to scan on my street. That's a lot of places to look and a lot of email to send.
Not to mention keeping up with the Poetry Contest. So far, I have only received six poems. I am hoping that people are slow starters. Oh, and yes. I am running a poetry contest. It is for Christmas. Have a look! Submit a poem! PLEASE! The Poetry Contest There's a nifty prize! (Which I still have to post) What have you got to lose? Nothing! *smile*
I guess that is about it for now. I bought a new necklace I like. This triangle entwining thing. It looks cool. I also got an Irish calddagh ring. The one with the crown, heart, and hands. In silver. Love it. Nothing left to say but . . .
May the moon send you silvery rays to guide you through the pathways of night. Happy Thanksgiving to all you fellow US people out there as well. *smile*

Happy Samhain, all and Blessed Be.
That's all for today and the under, a spirit flower to watch grow.
October 24, 1999
Hello there. Here I am, once more, to rant and rave and then post for the entire world to see. *grin* Ohhh, it's fun, fun, fun!! And I admit, I like the idea of doing it. Post my thoughts and ravings. More people to piss off! YAY!
So, here I am, a week before Halloween, preparing for this great holiday. I love Samhain. Granted, when you call it by that name, it's a new year and really has nothing to do with the stuff I love it for, but the very essence of that word intrigues me. Samhain. Samhain. Anyway, I love getting dressed up for Halloween. Heck, I even go to class in costume. I adore it. It's a chance for hte creative side of me to go to work and let loose. *grin* This year, I'm going as Morticia. This will be a riot. I need to get a rose. Blood red. I also have finished my Halloween pages, so go have a look at those. Enter into the Night.
So, that's been my life the past week. School work and getting those pages up and running. The links page still isn't done, but I wanted to get them posted for all to see. And I sent my URL to the Spook Trail thing, but didn't get a response. I think Darklight is swamped, what with this banner thing going on. I don't mind the banners being at the top too much, it's just that they are blue - BRIGHT blue. It's not as big a deal on my main pages because the color scheme is blue, but on the Halloween pages, it looks terrible. And the poor Javascript users. I am sorry Kiwinessie, about your page. I bet it was lovely afore .. . .
That's it. I'm done for today. Go away. It's over. Go to your homes and have some dinner or something. *chuckle* Have a good one and have a great week leading up to Halloween.

Alright. I admit. I'm a lazy bum. It's been a while since I posted anything here in this section. In my defense, however, I have been sick, busy with school work, busy with guard instructing, and busy with posting on the boards. *wink* Yes, well, I'm adicted. I can't help it. And by the way, Darklight and co. (you know who you are ;) ), what's the verdict on the present? Hmmmmm? Yes? No? Evil? Let me know. I feel so up in the air. No feedback at all. Well, except from loggia. Loggia like it.
Now, I have been a very lax NG of late. I need to get back to my job. I am so bad. *sigh* I promise, Luciana, I will get to it. Swear. Honest. I'm also trying to get my Halloween pages up and running. That's nice and fun too. *chuckle* Don't get me wrong, I am having a blast with it, it's just trying to make it nice and the way I want it, yet able to win something. I don't think the two shall ever meet, as I doubt mine will be scary. C'est la vie, non?
Now, about this webpage of mine. I rather like it's format, but I'm not sure it's worthy of awards. Any questions, comments, complaints, or concerns, please send them to me at Ice Rose, Webmistress. Please. I'm all jealous of all the award winners and want an award of my own. *grin* Just being honest. I ain't never won nothing. Just one little award and I think I could die happy. So I am taking any and all suggestions. Thanks all. *smile*
Okay, I think I'm done for now. I seem to run on for quite a while here. Luciana, I'm going to get back into the swing here soon. I got a midterm tomorrow, one Friday, and a third on Monday. I think I should be good to go after that. Hopefully. Darklight, I do have pages for your Spook Trail, they're just under construction and I don't hand them out without them being done. *wink* I'll hurry. I think that's all the peoples I need to address at this moment in time. Until the next time I ramble, be safe in the darkness, mes amis . . .

Hmmmm. The weekend was long and better left in the past. I don't want to have another one of those. Ugh. What can one do? But, as you can see, or may you can't if this is your first visit, the site has under gone an overhaul. I've decided I like this version of it better. Icy, yet still lovely. Drop me a line. Let me know what you think . . .
September 23, 1999
Hmmmm. Got a lot done, but didn't get a lot done. It was one of those days where I didn't get enough school work done, but got a lot of work here on the web done. I think that's supposed to be bad, but I'm really too sleepy to decide if it is or not.
I talked - if you can call posting things on a message board talked - to a bunch of peoples today. Sent a message to all the candidates for the mayoral election. Oivay. Wasn't that fun, trying to decide who to choose as the next mayor. Let me just say that I am never, ever going to go for that job. I'd have no hair by the end of it. I truly applaud those that have the patience and the - chutzpah - to do that. BRAVO! *throws roses*
Which brings me to another thought. I was looking for a webring for writers in the city here. I couldn't seem to find one. There was one for poetry, but not writing, stories, etc. I thought about starting one, but who would join? I don't know that anyone would. I need to think about his more. I got this great graphic but what to do with it. Hmmmm . . .
I haven't had too much inspiration as of late for writing. Sad, really. I tried in - what class - Mythology I think it was. Nothing. I hope I can get it going again soon. I've had requests for more of my stuff. ?!?!?!!!??? Aye. That's what I thought. I'm floored. Great imagery? Well, I dunno about that, Andrea Earthfaerie, but I've been told something along those lines before. Heeeeheeheee. I don't see it, but then, I'm the author and forever critical.
Okay, I need to go to bed now. I've run on longer than y'all want to see, so I'm outties. Sleep well.
May the moon send it's silver light upon you always. And Happy Autumnal Equinox to all.
September 19, 1999
What a day. Slept long and hard. Must say it was a nice change. I didn't do too much today, kinda hung out on the net after I got off my butt and returned to school. *grin* That was fun too. Made some changes to this page, most notably this portion of it. But then, I don't expect too many people to meander back this far to find it. If they do, well all the more fun for me. I love making things difficult to follow.
Had some weird conversations, if you can chat things conversations, with a friend of mine. Interesting revelations. Makes me wonder about some things, including myself. I wonder what's so great about me in the past year. I don't really see what it is. But then, I've always been such, self-concious, not seeing what others do. Hell, I wonder what my roomie sees in me sometimes. I'm such an annoying brat. ;) But then, she's a pain in the butt. So I guess we just get along because we're the same in that respect.
Posting this stuff, including my writings, was a big step in trying to overcome the self-conciousness thing I got going on. Oivay. It's huge, the self-conciousness thing . . .
Back to the conversations - weird. Definitely unexpected. Well, sort of. Well, no. I was right the first time. Unexpected. Goes along with that self-conciousness thing. Ah, but who's to say my friend is not just holding onto what's there? Available? Around? Agh. I'm going to drive myself nuts with this. Lord. And if this friend reads this page. Oi. That's it. I'm NOT giving that person this page to look at again. Either that or I'll have to censor what I write. Ugh. Oh well . . .
