What’s with the new title? Once upon a time, me and some friends at work were having a discussion about our geek qualifications. I’m the only one not into gaming and lacking a lot of the geek lingo so I was questioning wether or not I was really geek enough. My friend Sean told me it was ok, I can still be part of the group because I was the Token Hippie, they have more geek cred, I have more hippie cred. I’m not really a hippie but I suppose I have more hippie tendencies than most of the crew at my office. I like structure, I don’t like pot, I don’t have dreads, I frequently bathe, I have a mortgage. But I want to travel, I like eating healthy, I’m environmentally conscious, I go to festivals, I like psychedelic music. As in everything, it’s all relative.

Past nicknames:
Petunia Leaf (Dad)
Natacha/Natachita/Natachourie (Grandpa DeOchoa)
Nattie (Grandma Fisher)
Nat the Brat/BrattyNat (Dad’s siblings and spouses)
Terminally Cute (Zac)
Token Hippie (Sean)

I finally managed to be coordinated enough to get my ftp login info sorted out, 3 months after starting to use this space. There was some back and forth to get the info in the first place but it was super vague and didn’t work and I just didn’t have the patience to deal with it so I put it off. Again and again and again. It’s not like it even took that long to sort out once I sat down and took the time to do it. About an hour judging by my twitter posts. It’s currently kinda ugly but I just wanted to toss up something other than the default theme just because I like the feeling of power I now have. I also upgraded to the newest version of WordPress which is pretty nifty. Hopefully this motivates me to do all or at least some of the things I want to do here. As a special treat, because I’ve been so boring, here’s a link to a blog I was recently introduced to: thisisindexed Enjoy!

P.S. I added some new links to the link page, I’m on a roll! Now time for bed.

You’ll probably notice I enjoy (read:abuse) the use of ellipses.

I followed the instructions but WordPress hates me. I can’t post to this blog via email. Boo. Well I probably can I just don’t know how. Ah well. One more excuse as to why I suck at posting.

In other news, it’s really hot in my house right now so I’m hiding in the den.

It’s up. Sorta. Lets see what happens. I hate when my account gets randomly deleted. With no warning. Then I have to start over. This is me starting over. A little stunned.
