Diablo's Journal

Failed miserably @ Epic Journal Comebacks 201 posted : 08/21/09 at 01:30pm pst listening to:Tracker music from yesteryears' demoscenes. Nerd.

Signs of life. Still going, but the last two months have just gone by like a continued wave of seismic aftershocks. As much as I want to, I can't seem to break this layer of ice I feel buried under. Struggling to regain appetite and passion for the things I used to love and enjoy. Every day I'm drawing strongly on those memories hoping I can

The zombie walk (mentioned in a previous journal post) was really awesome - nearly 1,000 people dressed up as zombies, assembled for a Saturday afternoon stiff-limbed shuffle through Melbourne CBD. The make-ups and costumes were widely varied, and incredibly realistic. Hilarity ensued, especially when witnessing the reactions from an unsuspecting

User Info

Name Diablo Age 26 Occupation Software Engineer Location Melbourne, Australia - "Most _____able city" (insert nice sounding words into blank bit) Hometown Perth, Western Australia - the flip side of Oz! Sign Cancer About Me Sometimes extroverted, sometimes introverted. Pessimistic, dark humoured. Indecisive. Thinker. Obsessed with details. Humour is a gift to the intelligent in us. Left-wing minded, wants to see equality in society. Won't compromise my personality to please others - take me as I am, or find someone else. Shy, but there's a bright spark in me trying to get out. Why Im a GodsGirl's Member Curiosity lead me here. Fascination won't let me leave. Superhero Power To be able to think as fast as a computer. With my instantaneous wit, I'd just go around and spend all day mocking the upper class and other corporate/political/media power figures in our society. Hold them to account. Sexual fantasy To live in a utopian society where sex is never a sin and people freely use it for expressing positive emotional connection, without jealousy or all those other negative emotions attached. Not gonna happen. Weapon of Choice Undo button. Hobbies Computers (Linux/OSS/Graphics/Gaming), Cars (Holdens), Electronics, Music (long-term plans) Music Electronic (techno, house, EDM/IDM, synthpop, ambient, trip-hop, experimental). Industrial. Bit of metal. Also alternative rock, progressive rock, and my guilty pleasure, 80's new wave/new romantic. Movies Don't really have favourites, too indecisive. But I like arthouse/documentaries, dark comedy, thriller, sci-fi and a bit of action/drama. Books Still slowly making my way through Polyester bookstore TV Rage (music videos). Other than that, my TV stays off, 97% of the time. Art I like computer shaded/rendered art. Fractals fascinate me. Also anything alienesque (think H.R. Giger-like). Food Italian (pizza, lasagne, spag bol). Also Japanese (mainly sushi). Vegetarian too, even though I'm not a vegan. Education Engineering degree Status active Orientation Bi Ethnicity Half-Australian, half-kiwi. Take your pick. Birthday jul 08 Who I Idolize Anyone who is altrustic and selfless enough to command far more respect than the money they earn Goals To explore my creative side more, and express myself in new ways. Bedtime attire So boring it puts me to sleep Nerdy Secret Pleasure Reading articles on Wikipedia. Playing old-school video games. Doing complicated stuff in Linux with sheer determinism. ARP, EMU, Moog, DX7, TR-808, TB-303, Korg, VCS3 and other forms of synthesizer bliss. My Favorite GodsGirls You're all my favourite. Don't feel left out! Unicorn or Pegasus? I'd just cross-breed them and ride the offspring. Don't make me choose. I like flying but I also need a defense. if Patrick Duffy was shooting lazers at you how would you defend yourself? Write a sitcom starring him, featuring that as the central theme. Then find an unsuspecting TV network to buy the rights... My Website
