So, for two months now, I've woken up every day and said to myself: "I should write something on DreamWidth!", and then I stare into the Twitter abyss for a few hours. But, Twitter is getting really really intolerable now... like really really bad. Also, my ability to focus on tasks, make plans, and execute them, has been improving, no thanks to the American medical system. (Seriously, it always sounded like a kooky conspiracy theory, but I think the medical system in the United States is designed to kill people. (Primarily through withholding of medical treatment.))

I've considered writing down my nightly dreams when I wake up from sleep... Because I have a lot of really vivid ones, but I have difficulty recalling them after even moderate lengths of time. In the past month, I've had several dreams about going to college, or just taking place on several different (dream-like) college campuses. This morning I had a large portion my my dream taking place in the abandoned offices of SGI in Mountain View... I guess in that dream universe, Google didn't move into the SGI buildings twenty years ago. There were some cubicles left, but mostly it was carpeted open space on a second floor, going to an atrium and stairs to the first floor and entrance. There was a sever room downstairs, and some small business was renting a small part of the building, so there were some people working there. I went up to the roof (outside) with some other people, and stuff happened, I don't remember, and there were some conference rooms, on the roof, but enclosed, so they were regular rooms with glass doors and windows opening to the roof. In one there were a bunch of local furries I know (who could even be reading this now, if any of them actually still used LJ/DW, but they don't) having a party. It was fun. There were some sales people doing stuff in the next conference room over... Oh yeah, I was walking around with a friend of mine, and commenting on stuff as we were exploring.

There was something else about how I had programed a popular and famous cat AI, used for AI research, and it was based on my own cat, who was also in the dream, in my backyard, with three other cats hanging around which I had never seen before.

I have a lot of dreams involving music, and I really need to somehow get these songs out of my head and into tangible form so other people can hear them. I don't have much experience with the tangible creation of music in any form however.

A while ago, I woke up with a mash-up between Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor, Op. 23, Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso – Allegro con spirito and Kalehoff's theme song from "The Price is Right" television game show. In my head these two pieces of music can totally be combined together.

Dear LiveJournal-peeps:

Where do you find the time to read/write to LiveJournal? I barely have time to eat, sleep, and bathe, let alone do LiveJournal thingies. (Like, I can read my friend's journal once every week or two.)

Two more questions:
  1. Are the following images too big, too small, or just right?
  2. Do these two blocks of photos look exactly the same in your friends page style?
In my LJ style, the photos with hyperlinks anchored to them, appear with green borders. But otherwise they are laid out in the same number of columns and rows.

Because expanding the LJ-Cuts changes the style you're viewing this under to my [[livejournal.com profile] foxgrrl] default style. Click on this link to view this post in your own style:

Update 1:
I tweeked the HTML a bit, now it should look the same, except that the vertical line spacing is a bit different. (I'll deal with that later&hellip) Hopefully now it should wrap — that's the important part.
Update 2:
I found to problem with the borders; It was rather obvious in hindsight. Setting border=0 on the IMG tags did the trick. I'd been trying to set the border with style="border:0" and stuff on the <A> tags.

Ok, let's figure out the best layout for my posts, by empirical test.

How many columns of photos do you see?

Since everyone now knows that I'm trans*, there's really no point in locking these posts anymore. So, now you get to see all of the drama you've been missing.

I went to the dermatologist last night, for another round of hair removal. Supposedly, the amount of pain decreases after the first session…
No, it doesn't.

Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, or my cold returning, but my pain tolerance was lower than I had expected. At the end of the session I had noticed that my eyes had been watering quite unexpectedly. I refused to cry in the doctor's office, and I held my composure (mostly) while driving home.

When I got to my room, I sat on the bed with Nyah, and cried and sobbed for an hour or two as she held me. With the exception of [livejournal.com profile] dv_girl, no one had ever been there for me when I was crying. [And then I took a shower and fell asleep.]

There is something about those moments, when crying, that are linked together by their own thread. My mind returns clearly to all of the painful memories that I have blocked out during my normal daily life. Every other event in my life that has brought me to tears, that I thought I had forgotten about.

So, I'm doing some CSS tweeking on my LJ, and I'm wondering how to make it look best for everyone — or at least for most people viewing it. I'm not going to assume everyone uses the standard VESA modes — I certainly never do, because I'm a VESA Rebel! — But I also didn't want to put this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display_standard in the poll.
