Moem's Journal
It's not Myspace...wait, it's not even LiveJournal.
Recent Entries 
readme.txt
Hi! You've found me. This is kind of an experimental / placeholder journal, since the way LiveJournal has been changing recently worries me.
You can find me there under the username m03m. That's m-zero-three-m.

Since I'm (for now) primarily an LJ user, these entries have been copied from there. Some have even been copied from MySpace first!
That causes some problems with linkage. And if there's something about site changes and other ongoing events that makes you go 'huh?' because it doesn't seem to make any sense, it's probably about LiveJournal, not Scribbld. I apologize for any confusion and other kinds of inconvenience.

Oh, and copying the entries from elsewhere means losing all comments, as well.
20th-Sep-2009 03:46 pm - Writer's Block: Are women or men bigger cheats?

Yes, I believe that men or women are more likely to cheat if they know they won't get caught.
And yes, I believe in marriage. I've seen several with my own eyes.

[Error: unknown template 'qotd']Hard to tell, I like fixing things, especially using stuff in ways it was never intended to be used. I cut up old motorcycle tubes to make nice sturdy rubber bands. Stuff like that.
But the first thing that comes to mind is when I was riding a moped that needed its carburettor cleaned on the way, and after I took the lid off the floater chamber, I found that the screws were so bad I would never be able to screw them back in again.
So I found a piece of wire that was lying around (there's usually something or the other that you can use if you just look around for a while) and tied the little chamber shut with that. And hey presto, it worked.

Man, that moped was a piece of crap. But I got home that day.

avatar met molen
[Error: unknown template 'qotd'] Yes. Marriage is or should be purely a secular thing, since it's got legal consequences; if anyone wants a ceremony at their church, synagoge, mosque, temple, garbage heap or wherever, that is fine but it has no legal status. Therefore, government gets to define 'marriage'. I don't know who else would get to define it.

Wow, this question gets a lot of stupid answers.

26th-Dec-2008 01:30 pm - Writer's Block: A Bargain at Any Price
avatar met molen
[Error: unknown template 'qotd']That's a hard one, because I hardly ever buy something at the full price. Most of what I own was either bought second hand, bought on sale, or found on the sidewalk. I guess I'm just a cheapskate.

However, one of the best bargains, and one that I enjoy on a daily basis, is my current living space.

avatar met molen
[Error: unknown template 'qotd']My body? Now, if the question said: mind, then I could sort of relate. Sort of, because the question would still be very badly phrased.
If my mind was inside an inanimate object, would it still be inanimate?
I think that instead of answering the question I will rephrase it.

"Imagine being an inanimate object. Choose one that already exists, or make one up. And then describe yourself."

There. All better now.

[Error: unknown template 'qotd']Wherever I lay my @.

Sorry, someone had to say it. Besides, it's sort of true. I mainly live inside my Thinkpad.
I can live inside an X-series model because I'm rather 'fun sized' myself.

[Error: unknown template 'qotd'] I would have hit the brakes, instead of counting on the sheep to stay where they were. So they would not have crossed the railroad I was riding my motorbike on, right in front of me; and I would not have hit one of them and fallen down. I wouldn't have hit my shoulder on the iron rail, tearing a muscle, and the sheep would not have had its leg broken. And the sheperds would not have come to make us pay for the sheep.

Oh well. It makes for a good story now.

Oooh... that's just mean, poking into my sensitivities like that! You shouldn't have asked that... it's just mean, it's mean and you're all very very mean! WAAAAAAAHHH!

1st-May-2008 07:59 pm - Writer's Block: Smashed
avatar met molen
[Error: unknown template 'qotd']What's with the 'if'?
I have a crowbar, and I can smash anything in here.
But I'm not going to, because everything that's in here is either useful or loved for some reason.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be here.
Strange question.

[Error: unknown template 'qotd']I actually don't think of myself as neurotic in any way. I regard myself as pretty much healthy.

[Error: unknown template 'qotd']Stand-up comedy. I actually auditioned somewhere.
I can tell a story, and my timing isn't all that bad, but I can't write a decent text... one that's actually funny.
Oh well... live and learn.
11th-Mar-2008 09:45 am - Writer's Block: That's the Power of...
bedrijfslogo
[Error: unknown template 'qotd']Doing what I'm good at. Using my skills. A feeling of 'Oh yeah, I can do this.'

Using your skills, especially skills that you have worked on to aquire, feels good in and of itself. Much in the way that flexing your muscles feels good. It makes you aware of the power they carry. It makes you aware of your possibilities.

Having aquired certain skills, and using them, is one of the greater plesures in life and it's one that I can't remember ever having been told about.

Company logo icon, because 'work' was the first thing that came to mind when reading the question. And that's a Good Thing.

avatar met molen
[Error: unknown template 'qotd'] I suppose I should write something about my lack of self discipline, and my tendency to procrastinate...

But I really can't be bothered.
