On the topic of journals...

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 11, 2009, 7:29 PM


This is going to mostly be a journal entry on the topic of journals. Diaries of other people, journals + me and how we fit together.

First off, I'd like to (sort of) feature the following diary. It's the old diary (1998 to 2005) of Telsa Gwynne (she's Welsh, I should think). She's the wife of Alan Cox, one of the best-known Linux kernel developers (slash geeks and outstanding programmers) of our time. She has a quite succinct and brief style, and an excellent sense of humour. You're going to love it if you or a close person around you falls into one of categories "geek", "spouse/partner of geek"! It's also _the_ oldest example of a blog/journal sort of thing I've ever seen on the Internet.

There's also the thing about me and diaries/blogs/journals. My dear ~Maladikta suggested a skin for me to use, which is gorgeous and can be found at [link] . What she does not know, however, is that I have a special thing about journals - I like mine in retro-hacker style, green-on-black. The skin I've used for this post actually combines that color scheme with a rather good aesthetic, simple piece of art. I don't know why, I just enjoy this colour scheme very much. Mind you, I'll probably use the White Rush skin for one of my next entries :). (Update: Yeah, I definitely will be using the aforementioned. I wanted the text to be green as well. I guess that what I really want is a perfectly simple html pages collection which I can *MANUALLY* edit and organize using the command line on Linux or Notepad on Windows, then I will be happy. Easy to please, ain't I?)

I'm currently studying Computer Science with an Industrial Year placement at Aberystwyth University in Wales (UK) and am from Bulgaria (first-year student). I'd really like to learn singing and playing the piano and the harp, as well as learning drawing. My current art capabilities extend only to the form of writing I'm afraid :). When I write, I use my interpretations of various popular imagery, such as angels and God - they represent selflessness for me, and are *NOT* religious images. I'm certainly neither Christian nor religious in any way myself.
I do have great, very deep respect for the compassionate teachings of Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa), altough I'm not a practitioner.
Sometime in the future I will be engaged to =Maladikta, so I guess You could say she's my future fiancee :), which makes me extremely happy :huggle:!

Most of my works were written as "early poetic attempts", so please do not refrain from properly criticizing them ;). I still haven't finished any "mature" written work, though doesn't one continiuosly develop oneself...

Hello! I love your stories and I was wondering if you could critique some of my written work. If you can't or don't want to that's fine, but it seems like your the only GOOD writer on dA, and I would like to get better.
Thanks

Three ways to annoy Sesshomaru

1. Poke him and run away.

2. Play house with Rin saying he's the daddy, you're the mommy, and Rin's the baby! Jaken is... er... the family bumpy thing.

3. Ask him about "that night at Naraku's
:iconemanuil-tolev:
Thanks for the kind words! I doubt that I am the only good writer though :).

I will happily look at your written work, if you so wish, with pleasure. But it will probably be at some point near _the end_ of this weekend, sort of Sunday evening (GMT). I have been extraordinarily lazy and have to finish something for my ex-boss, as well as an actual university assignment for Friday, and then fulfill a promise during the weekend XD. Sorry about the delay!

That's fine! Really no problem! Thank you very much!
