This went around quite some time ago, the idea was to parody Jeff Foxworthy’s “You Might be a Redneck If…” jokes and make “You Know You’re From [your-state-here] If…” lists. So, here’s the one for Virginia (which also shows up for 90% of US states in that search), with me picking it apart because I have nothing better to do.
You Know You’re From Virginia If…

I got in a creative mood again, and came up with this. It’s supposed to be a cave painting of someone transforming into a dog under the moonlight. The peace symbol is there to symbolize…something…y’all figure it out 
I cancelled my account with Verizon, so Packet 8 is officially my landline phone provider. I bought a nice new phone with loads of features from Staples, so my caller ID issue is fixed.

I need someone who’s really good at stalker-type stuff to trace a phone number for me. This is not for personal revenge or anything of that sort, I’m just curious to see how much persistance it would take to trace a Packet 8 Voice Over IP phone number to an actual person’s account, if it’s possible without a warrant at all. Email me privately if you’re interested in the challenge 
Some more detail, it’s not traceable through a simple reverse lookup, I tried that already. It’s like a cellphone, except less regulated and cheaper
Woohoo, I made art! This is a little something I tossed together tonight to play with some textures, but I really like how it turned out
I love XM Radio, the commercials are hilarious
This is an actual commercial I just heard on XM041 - The Boneyard (the hairbands channel)

Do you spend hours in front of your computer…alone?
Do you have a bad case of tennis elbow…but you’ve never played tennis in your life?
Still believe that “SexFiend69″ is really a 110-pound blonde?

Just arrived yesterday (suprisingly close to on-time, and without major damage, perhaps USPS is improving), a commission I got of me & Skippy at the lake from Princess Rei. Cuteness!
I also have another commission on the way from ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
foxchild, woohoo!
The weekend was great! Well, except for that no-sleep thing.
Work is going great, I was actually on time today! Woo!
I got a new toy today: A voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone adapter from Packet 8. What is it? Well, it’s a magical little box that plugs into my ethernet switch. I plug my phone into it, and can make calls over my broadband connection. I really don’t know why I didn’t sign up for this sooner, I’ve had it less than a day and I’m already thoroughly impressed with it. I can choose any area code I want for my number (I have a Harrisonburg local number now, but I could switch it to Philly if I were planning a trip with people from there like last year), I can take the box anywhere I want and use the same number with it (to get Harrisonburg phone numbers in Myrtle Beach, for example), and I get unlimited long distance to the US and Canada. Features include caller ID, call waiting, call waiting ID, call forwarding, 3-way calling, voicemail, *69, Do Not Disturb (set the phone to automatically switch to voicemail without ringing the phone), and more, all for $20/month. I’m currently paying almost $40/month for my Verizon land line phone, with only caller ID installed, and a few long distance calls. Adding all those other features to my Verizon account would bring my bill to $60 or more easily, not counting long distance fees. It uses suprisingly little bandwidth, and makes almost zero impact on my internet connection. I’m still trying to find a downside to it, which is difficult. I can’t dial 911 or use directory assistance, which I don’t care about (there are other phones in the house to dial 911 from if needed). My phone goes out if my internet connection dies, which I also don’t care about. I can’t call internationally without extra tolls, but the toll rates are very cheap compared to Verizon. I think I’ll be cancelling my Verizon account before the end of the week.
Also, this new phone thing seems pretty stalker-safe, so I might be more freely giving out my number to more friends. We’ll see
My cell phone is still a piece of shit, but at least I can now call my out-of-town friends (who outnumber my in-town friends more than 10 to 1 ). Yayness!
I SO didn’t sleep last night. This ought to be an interesting day
