Forum: Blue Blood Boards

So I'm planning out my travel plans for the remainder of 2004. I know I will be in San Diego approx June 9-June 13 and July 21-July 26, but I'm not sure where else to go. By the way, anyone who submitted to sadistintern@blueblood.net to model should resubmit to submit@blueblood.net because that...

My favorite desktop computer is dying and I want to get a replacement on the network before it is a real nightmare. I also want to take some time off to write and I want a super duper lightweight laptop to do that with. Something uber portable. Plus it is time to upgrade some other comp...

Apparently a dominatrix is running for government on the Marajuana Party ticket in Canada. Info available here

I've been thinking about the fact that in times of personal improvement I tend to blow my dough helping other people making cool projects, instead of taking care of myself. I think this is because I am scared of improving my situation. I identify as disenfranchised, so I have trouble reaping the...

I resisted the trend of keeping a journal online for a long time. Eventually I gave in to the pressure. I kind of liked it for a while, especially when I could comment on other people's and get comments from them. But the thing about most journal sites is that they have no context. I mean,...

So I'm trying to decide what types of Blue Blood swag to order. Do you all like standard T-shirts or any other special sort of imprinted cool stuff?

So, in explaining what Blue Blood is, people tend to use a lot of labels and sometimes words like gothic, punk, dark glam, burlesque, psychobilly, deathrock, fandom, literary, rock, etc. can be useful to describe it, but I wonder what term truly applies. I think a lot of people are into a similar...

I think one of my biggest problems in life is that I just can't be motivated by money. This means I tend not to get paid what I should on some things. On the plus side, it means I never have to shrink from looking myself in the mirror because I know I will go hungry before doing certain things I...

Anyone here ever read Obediance to Authority?

So the other day, I was eating at a sports bar. Not because I like sports, but because it is very close to where I live and the person I was eating with wanted to eat there. Now I have a weird medley of Rush and Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince stuck in my head.

For a long time, my biggest regret in life was that I did the higher learning plan. Now that I have finished paying my student loans and gotten my brain out of hock and am a successful creative person, I am less sorry. Do you think a university education is of benefit?

I was kind of jangled last night and couldn't settle down to go to sleep, but my TiVo had picked up Caddyshack. Damn but that movie has some fine moments. I remember the first time I saw it, I thought the star should have been the hot degenerate guy caddy and not the two-timing blond with weird...

There is a saying, "you can't make any new friends once you get your first real piece of furniture." It is certainly harder to really connect with people once you are out of school, but I hope the furniture thing is not true. Although I'm pretty furniture-challenged, so I'm probably okay.

I once got a B on a term paper I thought was damn good on the topic of therapeutic impact of self-mutilation. It was for an upper level seminar on abnormal psychology. Recently the topic has come up over and over again. I think some new service did a story on some "goth" girl who cut herself or...

Just watched the Slither video and, in some respects, given the wealth of talent that went into that band, I know I like Velvet Revolver, but I have not decided how much yet. I need to hear more of it. But, damn, watching that video, those guys are ROCK STARS and Scott Weiland just has that...

Do you think someone who wants to kill him or herself should be stopped? If so, under what conditions?

Apparently the comic book distributor I used to lay out the catalog for is doing a promo with a bunch of stores across the planet to raise interest in comics and is giving stuff away July 3. You can check what stores are participating where you live here.

Just watched one of those poker shows on TiVo. A construction worker from the Pacific NW won over $400,000. Anyone here play poker? Anyone here any good?

I finished uploading the fun snapshots from my San Diego trip. The following are a few of my favorites, but the whole lot of them are posted now at http://www.spookycash.com/fun/0604cybernetexpo/ Did you know you can get good gourmet beer by the carton in San Diego? Apparently you are allowed to...

What payment methods do you like to use online when paying for auctions, site memberships, publications, clothing, toys, etc.?

Ya know what I find really weird. Some people just have to make things a contest. I'm always trying to beat my own high score, not trying to beat the next guy. If someone is my friend, I don't think about things like who is more accomplished, who is prettier, who is more intelligent, who has...

I usually avoid discussions of religion, but this topic has come up a lot lately. A girl I was setting up a shoot with a while ago asked if I was Wicca. Turns out she was sexually abused by a Satanic cult her stepfather was in when she was young and had to have four years of therapy for it. I...

So I thought Will was a little past deadline and it was just the same old same old, but now I find out what he was arrested for!

I was thinking about gonesavage's post about cupping and was wondering who here has tried acupuncture. I wouldn't expect having long thin needles stuck all over my body to be relaxing, but it was. Who has tried acupuncture? Who finds it relaxing and/or erotic?

My right eye keeps going into these spasms of twitching. What could be causing that?

Apparently the Sex Pistols played their first show at a now defunct venue in West Runton and their next to last show at another no-longer-existent pavilion in the same town. I've never heard of the town, but apparently they just put up a couple of plaques commemorating the honors the Pistols...

If You Were A Barbie, Which Messed Up Version Would You Be? I was posting about how I set fire to my Barbie Dreamhouse as a child and this seemed like the appropriate follow up. Here is my result: http://images.quizilla.com/F/frozenebony/1048039013_pRACHELSB1.jpg Gangsta Bitch! You're...

Okay, let's be a little upbeat for a sec. What is something good that happened to you this month that you totally didn't expect?

A professional board I sometimes visit just had a thread about how old is too old to go clubbing. I don't think most of them go to the same clubs I would. Does anyone here think there is an age cutoff? I think there will always be people who think that dyed hair or dramatic makeup or loud music...

Apparently Ja Rule was in Canada to act in Assault on Precinct 13 and he allegedly assaulted someone in a nightclub there. Until the hearing, he is banned from the entertainment district unless it is for work and he is not allowed to consume alcohol anywhere in Canada.

Wow, Rick James is dead. Died at age 56 of cardiac arrest, possibly caused by a cocaine-weakened heart, possibly just natural causes. Respected news sources seem to disagree on the cause of death. I really liked Super Freak but I was not a big fan or anything. But this news still seems really...

I just made a personal post about this and it occurred to me that I should thank SUSIEQ502 here. She private messaged me a link for an accomplished photographer who shot for tons of rock mags in the heyday of the Sunset Strip. So I click around and, fuck a duck, I see that this photog shot a...

My mom used to make me these little English muffin pizzas that were so yummy. I made myself some a few months back and they were total comfort food. Does anyone else know what I am talking about here?

For the ladies: what are your favorite remedies for cramps?

I know there is at least one Southern California Halloween event not to be missed! You can check it out at this link and we're looking at giving away a couple of pairs of tickets to a few lucky Blue Bloods! The same folks who did the X-Sanguin III event during Comic Con are kicking out the jams...

Do you think someone should get a job because they work hard and have talent and skills or because they are personable and fun and easy to get along with?

If you were offered a thousand dollars to kill someone, would you do it? If yes, any special circumstances required?

What do you think is the profession of ATHF's Carl? I have a theory.

In a way, the internet let's us talk to people who share our interests from all over the world. Instead of being limited to the other two weirdos and the one sort of artistic person and the three burnouts in a small town, an unusual soul can reach out digitally to people of genuinely similar...

Ba ha ha ha! Szandora just send me this and I told her she should go ahead and post it publicly, but I just can't wait to share. :1orglaugh

I'm so happy you are back and feeling better! :clapping: You and your eloquence and naughty stories were missed.

Do you ever have days when you just can't get started? When you know you've got stuff which needs doing, which you can do, which you will be so very happy to have done . . . but you just can't get to it.

If you could only eat one type of food for a week, what would it be? I'm thinking about this because, not being able to go grocery shopping coupled with keeping extra weird hours because I have trouble sleeping in the cast . . . well, I've been eating some weird limited cuisine. There are also...

Doctors always have these forms where you are supposed to check off whether various relatives have had this, that, or the other thing. Do you really know your family medical history well enough to know what type of cancer a grandparent had or what age they lived to etc.?

How do you deal with chameleon type people who will seem like you have tons in common with you, but then someone totally different from you will think that person has tons in common with them? I mean, I think I am pretty multifaceted and there are people I really like and relate to who do not...

Wondering how many folks here are vegetarians and, if so, what sort. Los Angeles is full of rail thing fashion models who will claim to be vegan while talking through a mouth full of steak. Maybe the theory is that it doesn't count if you throw it up later. Anyway, I was wondering what the...

Hey, I can't drive right now and the military surplus store near me closed. Anyone know a good place online to buy combat boots in small sizes for say a chick who wears a ladies 6? I'm looking for real supportive intended-for-battle combat boots, not Docs, stylish though they are.

Only Satan would do that. :wink2:

So I hear that using electrostim therapy could get my leg back to normal like 30% faster now that the broken bone part is mostly healed. Anyone have experience with physical therapy stuff? Anyone here used a home electrostim unit? Worth it?

Unrelated to the funny bus story, but here are two of my favorite snapshots from the same day. Actually two of my favorite pix from the trip period I think, but I'm still getting bunches ready to post. http://www.spookycash.com/fun/janinternext2005/b0103internext05/0103internext059333.jpg ...
