Ø What's All this, then?

It's a website. Everyone's got one these days. There's

even the ubiquitous blog. But it's mostly a showcase for

my artwork, photos, projects etc.

Ø It's not very fancy for a showcase.

Well I'm just learning webdesign, so screw off.

Ø Why didn't you just get someone else to do it?

You're in the Bay Area, you must know some webdesigners.

I wanted to do it myself, ok? It's my website, so you'll just have to

bear with the process of me learning html. By the way, if you have a

problem with the navigation or accessing images please let me know.

I probably forgot a quotation mark or something.

Ø They have programs that do that stuff for you, you know.

Yeah, I know. I just like learning code is all, even though it's immensely

frustrating. I'll get to the cool program stuff in due time.

Ø Geek.

Are you finished?

No.

Ø What the hell is "obsidity", anyway? Is it even a word?

Oh, that. Uh, no it's not a real word. My brain made it up.

Or I received it from those higher beings that like to control your dreams.

Whatever you want to think. It kind of reminds me of obsidian and absurdity.

Darkly strange. It was a book I was supposed to read for a class.

The rest of the dream is here.

Ø Well, what was the book about? Was it good?

Look, it had just been assigned, I didn't read it. It was something about the

sun melting plastic. Go read the rest of the dream if you're so interested.

Ø It reminds me of "obscenity".

Sometimes it sounds like that out loud, in a crowded room when

someone is trying to get my attention. But you're seeing it in print,

so that should clear that up.

Ø I've mistakenly read it as "obesity", as well.

Actually, so have I. I've learned to accept all the odd connotations

and confusion this title brings up.

Ø Wait, back up. People call you that in real life?

Only if I first met them on the web under this moniker. Not, like,

that kind of meeting, though. Really. Just to hang out with friends.

Stop looking at me like that.

Ø So what's your real name, Jennifer or something?

It's just as hard to understand as this one, unfortunately.

I mean, you'd think my subconscious would come up with something

a little easier to represent my new persona.

Ø Yeah, what's up with that?

I don't know. It thinks it's being funny, or something.

It can be kind of difficult to live with, sometimes.

Ø Hmm. Sucks for you.

Yeah, I know. Now go look at pictures.
