What Chonk Is

The word chonk is discussed in its debut entry, so let me move on to what this is, you know, this bit of roadkill on the bandwidth highway of life. It comes in where Hush, Baby left off; you can call it a journal, but I call it miscellaneous writing space. Where I'm free to be reflective or silly. At the moment I'm focussing on silly for a bit, because I find it hard to be emotionally introspective in front of lots of people on a regular basis. Don't get too used to one style, though, because I want the ability to switch around if I want. I'm trying to explore and get through my life one day at a time, and you're invited along for the ride. You like words? Me too. Say hi if you want, and if you have a journal, or a site, or a blog or whatever you do here on the 'net, drop me a line - I'd love to look at it and read it. Like Halcyon, I love the web! I'm just more open to my snarky side.

About The Little Miss Moodypants That Does This Stuff...

I'm Most Often Known As sammy. (I'm a girl. I don't want any confusion over that.)

This Year I Turned 20. My birthday falls on the third of April.

I Reside In Tupelo, Mississippi. I'll be back in Melbourne, Australia, at the end of June - due to some annoying regulations and rules in the immigration department. Grrr. Hopefully after that I should be back, though.

I Was Gainfully Employed doing tech support at Eisa. I used to answer the phone in a sweet cheery voice and assist both patient and cantankerous users alike for approximately seven hours a night, then went home and wept profusely. Well, after a while I didn't weep so much. The job helped me to learn a lot about my own computer and it's workings, how to deal with difficult people, and how to bluff my way through impossible-to-solve problems.

When I'm Not Working, Which Is Now Since I'm On Some Kind of Extended Vacation, I like to be with Nathan, write in my notebook, draw/doodle in same notebook, spend time at Fun With Rubber, create webpages, cuddle my kitties, read, make music (I play flute - badly), and watch movies. (Especially movies. I get obsessive - sometimes I'll see movies that I like more than three times in the cinema and literally countless times on video. Quiz me about "Encino Man". You'll be surprised at the wealth of knowledge that lies beneath this unassuming face...)

A Few Of My Favourite Things include collecting mp3's, children's books, phone calls, snail mail, infomercials (endless mocking potential), my special purple blanket, Tomato Nation, Daria, teddy bears, pajamas and night-shirts, honeycomb and butterscotch icecream, gel pens, blue ballpoints, notebooks, and cats.

Some Of The People I Talk About may be found now on the People page.

Some Of The Journals I Read And Love Include Lantern Waste, Memory And Desire, Squishy, The Gaping Lotus Experience, World Wide Jeb, Intermood, Conversations Amongst The Ruins, Book of Rob, sperare.com, Private Life, Crappy Days and The Mind's I.

A Non-Journal Site Sort Of Related To This One is Chonkland. Here I was thinking that Jo and I were the craziest people in the world with this chonk word, but there's some guy in California who makes nifty music who goes by the name Chonk. It's a small world after all, eh?

I Was Inspired Most By Tess and Laurie.

I Belong to the Buffy burb (I <heart> Oz!) and the Breasts of Doom burb (and they really are breasts of doom. Ever tried finding a pretty bra for plus sized - i.e., DD or more - boobs? I didn't think so).

Yes, I Do Have a mailing list.

I Love email.
