My members site is now open to signups!
It's only $12/mo to join and the bonus is that you get access to at least 7 other hot sites within the network as well (with more girls being added in the weeks to come).
I have several videos up already and just over a hundred photos posted. That's not a bad start, really, considering I had to waste a week working on my pc registry (it was waaay b0rked), reformating, and swapping hard drives. I'll be adding more videos and photos tonight and more again on Monday evening. From that point on, there will be vid/pic updates at least 3 times a week, often more frequently. (With the cooler weather, I'll be spending more time inside.) I'll also begin scheduling weekly camchats and members shows once I have some folks to entertain :) I'd truly appreciate the members right now... I won't see any income from the site until I've accumulated $100, so... I will also be switching my livejournal over to the username KinkyLibrarian in the next day or so, if you wish to add it. I have a corresponding domain name for it too, which I'll play with later. So, the plan? After work... a quick Walmart run, site update, and lj switcheroo. Fun. |

subject: Go, Mary!!!!
|
Mary came home just in time to find her husband, John, in bed with her best friend, Sue.
She took the lamp on the end table and smashed it over his head. With super-human strength borne of rage, she dragged his naked body down the stairs, out the back door, and into the tool shed in the backyard and put his penis in a vice. She then secured it tightly and removed the handle.
As he started to come around, Mary picked up a hacksaw. He quickly realizes that he is in dire straits.
Terrified, he screams, "Stop! Please stop! You're not going to cut it off, are you?"
Mary, with a gleam of revenge in her eye, put the saw in her husband's hand and says, "No. I'm just going to set the shed on fire. You do whatever you have to." |

subject: Low Carb Reviews
|
After watching a story on Dateline about how much low carb food products have improved in taste over the years [as their popularity has increased], I thought I'd try some. The grocery store where I shop has had a lot of the normally pricey items on sale, so it was perfect timing.
I'm already a big fan of things sweetened with Splenda, so I picked up an assortment of such beverages. All of which were good, as expected. For $1.29, I got some peanut butter made by Skippy. Excellent, even without all the sugar! It tastes more flavourful, honestly... more peanutty than the regulars. I noticed peanut butter is actually rather expensive... some brands are almost four bucks a jar. Yikes.
On to Blue Bunny smoothies. YES!!! These are creamy and thick, like I prefer mine. (Shuddup, perv.) They don't wreak of artificial taste, which was my worry. Drawback? I've only seen 2 flavours. More, gimmie more! I had Strawberry. Mango something or other is the second I saw. Definetely will purchase again. Awesome for breakfast.
I really debated about getting the Pria snack bars. I'm sick of seeing the damn commercials. But at buy one get one free, I didn't have much to lose. Not bad at all. They aren't as rich as a candy bar, but they don't taste like dirt (as I feared). The chocolate doesn't taste 'fake' or chalky and it satisfies my sweet tooth. I had carmel nut brownie and cookies-n-carmel. Provided the price is right, I'd chose them again.
So far, so good. Next on the list? South Beach Diet frozen dinners. (Remember, I don't cook, so...) You know, it really bums me out that eating healthier is usually more costly. After reading The Fat Girls Guide To Life by Wendy Shanker (an amazing book for women of ANY size - it will absolutely boost your self esteem), I too believe there's a conspiracy at work... Like so much in the world, it revolves around money. Hmph. |

subject: Get Offa My Cloud

Today started off el-crapo, as to be expected on a Monday. I'm either catching a cold, or my allergies are kicking my ass. I took some meds and started on my new workload... entering all the orders manually each day: applicants name, social security number, and what reports were ordered. At last count there were 1923 to do for today so far... unless anyone orders anything else (which of course, they will). That's enough to make even Ned Flanders grumpy. Another nail in my coffin... I got bad news from maintenance- all the storage units are full. I can't move any boxes out of view. I can't put my bed where it needs to be located. I can't get rid of my couch. I can't buy my new recliner. I can't hang art/posters or curtains. Asdfghjkl!!!
I engaged in a little retail therapy at the drugstore on my lunch break... things I actually need- nothing major. I ate my lunch of Spaghettios, Vitamin Water and oatmeal raisin clusters, slathered on some Burt Bees lip balm nd started fretting about my hair appointment. I got it cut yesterday. It is kind of boring, but sleek. Tonight comes the colour. My colourist is fantastic, really, but she's also creative and full of ideas which sucks when I have something very particular in mind (and I do) and even bring pictures and diagrams (yes, I'm that anal) for her to go by. I know I won't walk out hating anything she does, but it probably won't be what I asked for either :\ If it weren't for the salon using Kadus products, I might consider going elsewhere, but that brand is so fucking amazing... like crack, try it once and you're hooked, ha! I've definitely decided I want to enroll in their program, no doubt about it.
I'm kind of stressing about my site too. It went live sooner than I'd anticipated so that it could be approved for credit card processing, which takes about 7 days for verification. (I was actually expecting to launch it late this week and go from there.) So, I've been a busy bee uploading photos and videos. Photos can only be uploaded one at a time and you must chose 2 catagories for each snapshot, where to place the watermark, and whether it is a webcam or digicam image. So, yeah, it's slow going. The vids take an awfully long time too since they are such large files. Top priority: I have to change my cam image url for every portal I'm on, and update my vote links, all of which is time consuming, but vital if I don't want to get booted... assuming I haven't already, hmm. Oh, in all my file sifting, I found the password for my KinkyLibrarian journal, so I'll probably switch to it eventually. I'll let ya know when I do.
The day brightener was the package from Carter with the first seasons of La Femme Nikita AND Dead Like Me on dvd! Holy hell, thanks <3! That will keep me amused for a long time! After a long day, it takes a while for my brain to wind down. Curling up in bed watching these will definitely help me relax.
If I just keep reminding myself I have a free weekend coming up so I can have equal time for chilling and webcrap, I'll feel much better. I'm well aware that I'd be bitching just as much if I didn't have anything to do ;) *shuts up* |

I am opening a members site. Before you groan and call me a sellout or another gold-digging camwhore, please take a moment to read my thoughts on the subject...
I've been camming for almost four years. Sometimes you get burnt out, but you don't really want to leave the scene - ultimately, you love it and know you'd miss it. So, instead, you branch out, you try something new. (In fact, I actually started out as a blogger, then progressed to adding a webcam.) I've always wanted to offer more interaction and more content, but on my budget, I can't do it alone. That wish has come true thanks to the network of sites I have joined. The nominal membership fee allows me to provide more to you by covering my operating costs. It is more reasonable than most adult websites, and you'll get more than just me :) (I had free hosting, but I was raping my friends bandwidth at 40gig a month and hogging space with avi files and mp3s. I felt bad that I couldn't offer him anything in return, especially when I hear he's strapped right now.)
I still consider camming a hobby for me because... My goal isn't to live off of running a website. I'm employed full time. I pay my bills. I can [usually] take care of myself. In the event of an emergency though, well, I'd really be fucked- I can't pretend that doesn't worry me.
I've been living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck for a long time now. A lot of people are, I know. (I retain my current job because, honestly, I need the medical insurance. I'm sort of locked into that.) For the most part, I am okay with my circumstances, but I also realize it doesn't have to be that way. I don't feel comfortable asking for tips and gifts, consequently, I rarely get them (I understand that the economy and the fact that the cam community is oversaturated are probably also contributing factors). I can't tell you how nice it would be to have my time and effort produce a little bit of spending cash here and there. In truth, that money ends up going back into the site in the form of lingerie/costumes, props, lighting, software, and computer equipment anyway. It is like an investment... one from which I happen to get a great deal of enjoyment.
My reasons for camming haven't changed. You'll still get something for nothing. I will continue to blog, tag and update my webcam as I have previously. I've met some wonderful friends that way.
Camming is still a fascinating social and psychological learning experience for me. I still feel it makes me see myself more objectively, as well as spices up my sex life. My philosophy on camming hasn't changed either. I have too strong of a conscience to scam people, and I genuinely want to bring a smile to people's faces. The bottom line is that it would mean a lot to me to have a mutually gratifying exchange between me and my viewers and this is the best avenue. Most of the changes, if not all of them, will be positive... (extensive picture galleries, hot videos, weekly chats, DLS merchandise, and for the very first time- private shows... just to name a few). I am excited about this. I hope you are too. But, remember, I am my staunchest critic. To the others I say: I don't demand you be supportive of my decision and I am truly sorry if you don't agree with it. I can only do so much to please you and yet still be happy myself.
I am defintely motivated. I've got someone wrapping up the php end of things and making banners for me. Then, I will tweak my design, upload all of my pictures and videos, and begin accepting sign ups. If I am on your portal, look for me to notify you of the image url changes soon. It may take a few days, but we're working on it. Maybe I'll see you when I get there :) |

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! :D
It started out as a good day, but later... when my parents called... they are both sick right now, and since they're getting up there in their years, I worry about them. (I know I will lose my mind when I lose them.) They sound terrible, and worse, they sound really lonely- which makes me feel very guilty.
They called again while my brother was visiting them, and passed the phone to him. I'm still mad at him for not taking my calls or answering my messages to help me move like he promised he would. He's the most irresponsible, unreliable person I have ever encountered. (But, *sigh* he's my brother and that's just how he is... Shame on me; I should know better by now than to take his word for anything.) So, we're catching up, he's trying to pawn off some of his stored goods to me as a birthday present, I'm inviting him out to celebrate my birthday, and he falls asleep on the phone. I quickly figured out what happened when he stopped answering me and I heard him snoring. You'd better believe I'm insulted... and hurt. He didn't call back to apologize. My parents didn't either.
That incident alone pretty much ruined my day. And I didn't want to talk to him in the first place, argh! Consequently, I'm not feeling well today. I'm tired mentally and physically. I know I've got to get together some pictures for banners (I haven't forgotten). Right now, I just want to sleep- for days. I would, if I could. |

My apartment still smells like Spring because of the 'crisp breeze' scented airfreshner, but I think Autumn has officially arrived. I had to unpack my coats and sweaters, and they've turned on the steam heat in my building. I'm rather thankful to not have the ac jacking up my electric bill for a while. I like being able to open the windows for a bit in the evening too. In fact, I think they are open more in the winter months than any other time of year! I can be as naked as I want without getting cold >:)
I walked into a Spooktacular office this morning! The boss came in over the weekend and went wild with the halloween decor... witches, cauldrons, spiders, cobwebs, bats, rats, banshees, skulls, pumpkins, pirates... It really looks fabulous. He has a flair for this. There are all sorts of hidden things around the office. I can't wait to see the faces of people who come in :)
I should send out a My Space invite... Stockwell Road (one of my fella's bands) is playing at Birdy's tomorrow, which is my birthday. I'll be 28. I certainly don't look it, thanks to staying out of the sun, taking vitamins, and using quality products on my skin. I only feel old when I see all these late 80's DOBs of people getting their first apartments, then I think I'm almost 30... it isn't depressing, it's just... wow.
It is shaping up to be a nice birthday what with the perfect sheets from Hobbes <333 and Thee Boyfriend gave me some soft pink pillows and lovely matching sheer curtains. My glasses are supposed to be in tomorrow too. *crosses fingers* Actually, even if they are, I'm going to wait to start wearing them until Sunday/Monday when I get my hair done. I want the new look to be complete ;) I wish my site would be ready to launch then too, but I think it will take a few more days than that to get the coding done. I've done everything but the php. Someone else is taking care of that. Oh well, I'll live!
You might catch me on MSN when I have a few spare moments at work. If I don't answer or if I get offline quickly, it just means I've an application to process, so take no offense. |

It's that time again, time for me to ask for help with webcrap I can't do myself. (My attempts look like something a kindergartner would do, ha!) Once more, it's a graphic. Not a drawing this time, but a banner 469x71, featuring 4 or 5 of my favourite images and my site slogan over it. Just make it look... 'pretty.' Deadline? 1 week.
Any takers? I still can't provide any montary compensation, but I will barter a video of your choice and/or a link to your site, as well as crediting you for your work. Email anastacia@dirtylittlesecrets.net, if interested. Thanks! |
