Year: 2008

On Sunday I sat on this computer ((well, I sat on my chair, NEXT to the computer and INFRONT of the monitor and keyboard)) and deleted a bunch of my accounts and made all the other sites I’m still a member at (vox) personal.

I don’t mind people I know offline finding me online (my ex-boyfriend, offline friends), no, if offliners ask me for my site ((me:”oh, I love coding and working with Photoshop” person:”Do you have a website?” me:”Ehrm, I guess”)) they’re quite impressed. None of my friends code, none of my friends work as much with Photoshop (well, some).

A couple of months ago I received two emails at my @schatzi.me account. The two emails came from the company which support my current diploma thesis with satellite data.

The emails were great, the employees writing me offered help, said I shouldn’t hesitate to email them when I have questions. They said “we found you through google’s automated text search” ((I have not linked the site, I only wrote the name of the satellite in my about section)).

On one side I was glad they found my page, on the other side I was worried. I was sitting at work, hardly concentrating on my thesis, just thinking “Oh gawd, I hope my about page doesn’t say something like My favorite sexual position is this and that and I really love getting laid in the morning “. I couldn’t wait to get home and check.

On Sunday, as noted above, I deleted accounts like Twitter (never used it), removed a bunch of photos, made my accounts private, updated this site (also new picture on the top, me from behind, not very personal, but most of you know how I look anyways 🙂 )

I’ve done that because I’ll be looking for a job this fall and I can imagine CEO’s of a company like to open IE, FF, Opera… , go to google.com and just search for the person applying. If you search for “Tracy” on the Germany google you’ll find my page as #6 on the first page (yay)

So well, I’m not fake, it’s me, my real name, my real interests, I’m just not as personal as I used to be (and with that I mean I won’t tell you anymore stories about how bloody my tampon was today (did I ever?), how many orgasms I had yesterday night, and no, I won’t post anymore naked pictures of myself 😛 (again, did I ever?) )

How personal are you on your website?
Where can I get cute smilies?

Appetizer
What does the color dark green make you think of?
Forest, Christmas and Hope

Soup
How many cousins do you have?
Hm, something around 15 maybe?

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how honest are you?
I’m pretty honest, I’m probably a 9 or 10. I’m too honest at times which kinda sucks at times. (Example: Tracy and her mom are at the tourist agency to book a flight. They’ve been to the agency a week before already to check out the price. On the day where they book, the employee tells them “The flight will cost you 500 Euro each.” Tracy, as honest and naive she is, replies “Really? Because last week you said it’ll cost us 550 Euro?!?!” While the employee checks the price again Tracy gets a kick in the leg from her mom.)

Main Course
Name something that is truly free.
From the top of my head: the wind

Dessert
Using the letters in the word SPRING, write a sentence.
Ummm… umm….. “Something pretty ridiculous is not good”

Oh, I don’t know what to blog about. I upgraded WordPress and forgot to not overwrite my smilies, and now I’m using the default ones again 🙄 I bought some books last week, really really cheap. Java for 50 Cent and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for €3, which I’m currently reading.

Anybody still interested in my little auction? Then email me.

Have a good start into the first week of April 🙂

I’ve read about Amanda doing it and I came to my mind – I want to do it too!

It seems fun, and nice, and I think she and the others enjoy it. I mean, there’s really no reason not to do it. I guess the Lover would like it too. Ok, I’m pretty sure not everybody reading this would do it, they might think it’s awkward and just wouldn’t want to. But I do!

Oh, I can imagine what you guys (who know Snark and Amanda) are thinking now… 🙂

So, I want to send two people a little something 😀 Yes Yes. I just bought a friend some birthday goodies and realized again how much I love to make presents.

And here is what I thought about:

• Two random people who leave a comment will get a little something from me
• It will happen through mail

Who can apply?

• I need to know you in some way, either trough Snark or your site.
• Meaning, I left at least two comments on your site, we communicated through email or through posts in a thread

What you need to do?

• Leave a comment
• In this comment write a little bit about your personality. It can be a word or a paragraph. I need mainly adjectives. OR send me an email describing yourself.
• After you’ve left a comment, please send me your address (Don’t be scared, I won’t abuse it)

And then?

• I’ll write your personality on a little paper, put it in a pot and pick two (with my eyes closed)
• Then I’ll go downtown and get you a little something what I think will fit to your personality
• It can also be that I won’t buy you anything. If I think that your personality fits perfectly to my little pink pencil, then I’ll just send you that. 🙂

And after that?

• I’ll send you the little present
• You might like it, or not. You won’t know what it is until it gets to your place
• I might send it in April, but maybe first in May.

Don’t expect a lot – shipping here is expensive – but I like this idea and wanted to make this a pilot project. 😉

Want to comment and email me? Yay 😀

Wishing you all a happy Easter!

Thanks for all the nice comments on my last post and about my new layout (it it will be published sometime soon is the question 😉 ).

How do you celebrate Easter? Is it something special/big for you? Do you go to church?
