I’ve been slacking off again. I actually do have a lot to post about. Stuff that’s been happening over the past few days etc etc. It’s just that i haven’t been feeling post-y is all.

Figured that since it’s my last two weeks back home for a long time, i thought i’d just spend my time doing shit all and just relaxing. But i’ve got a site to maintain. Hits to keep up. And e-mail to half assedly reply to.

But first, how’s this for weird.

I was on IRC last night. For like… the first time in over a year. And i saw my ex’s cousin online. So i messaged her and we started talking. Catching up etc etc. And she mentions my site and how she’s a reader and all that. She also told me about how everybody in school (and around Brunei) are such copycats (ikut ikutan). You know… starting their own weblogs… in essence copying me… because it’s a little known fact that i was pretty much one of the first (if not the first…) person to actually start a weblog/journal/e-smut site that’s based in Brunei. Or that’s made by a Bruneian at least.

So anyway, she’s like telling about these three guys in school (my old school JIS)… like KELVIN, who’s like… notoriously annoying and stuff… and how he and his friends ‘idolize’ me or something. And then she tells me about this other kid, named Ariff (sic?) and how he had my URL all over his stuff for all to see wherever he went. Or something like that. Had it on his bag, his bottle… etc etc. And then Mr. Johnston saw that bottle and thought it had drugs in it (they were actually just herbs or so i’m told). So he checks out the bottle and sees my URL. Thinks that my site’s a drug site and he goes to check it out.

So the next day, Mr. Johnston’s like all… “Wow”… “Good site, whose is it?” or something to that extent and KELVIN’s like all… “Oh that’s JUSTIN’s site. A good old friend of mine”. (suck up suck up…)

I actually know Mr. Johnston. He was on this school trip with us a coupla years back. Climbed Mount Kinabalu together for this ECA thing to geet this Duke Of Edinburgh Award or whatever. I think they call it the International Award now. Or something. But yeah, he probably doesn’t remember me so IT’S OKAY.

Oh yeah. And while i was out yesterday visiting my relatives in Bandar and all, a friend of mine (also a reader from Brunei) SMSed me asking if i had any cousins named Zara or Zuraifah. I personally had no clue if i have any cousins named Zara or Zuraifah because i’ve got A LOT of cousins. Some of them that i didn’t even know were my cousins. But yeah, so i ask her what’s up? And she said that she was just on IRC and a coupla chatters were talking about my site. Apparently this one girl was like claiming that she was my cousin and that we used to play with dolls together when we we kids or something (??). And not only that, apparently a whole bunch of other people were also claiming that i was their ‘something’ and that they somehow had a connection with me.

Brunei’s a VERY small country. You do something here and EVERYBODY knows about it. I started the first Bruneian based weblog (to my knowledge anyway) and when people caught wind of it, EVERYBODY started making their own. Changing their ‘homepages’ into more of an e/n – weblog kinda deal.

With the only exception being that mine’s pretty much the only one that’s broken into the ‘mainstream’. You know… getting 4500-ish hits day etc etc. Plugged and linked by respectable sites… etc etc… and whatnot.

Mind you i didn’t start the weblogging ‘phenomenon’… just added to it a bit by putting Bruneian based ones on the map.

If i weren’t such a lazy bastard, i’d probably list out all the Bruneian (AND non Bruneian) e/n – weblog sites i’ve ‘inspired’ in my time (in one way or another) but i think i’ll just save for another post. It’ll be like that plugathon that i had about a week or two before. If i ever get around to writing it up that is. I still haven’t written about my last night in Malaysia. And about that last pseudo date i had with Susan.

But yes, enough with the tooting of my own horn. Time to get to those e-mails that are starting to pile up again:

Justin –

I have stumbled upon your site in search for downloading the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Soundtrack. Apparently, your site only has “gratuitous nude naked topless celeb pics” and writing. I didn’t bother with the porn; it was your writing that drew me in. I got sidetracked and spent hours reading your archives. Everything about you is interesting and you are one sexy guy. Keep up the writing.

P.S.. I hope no one took my post-it-note-idea
—————

Oh God no. Tell me you didn’t like… go ALL the way back into the archives? My earlier posts SUCK. I look at them now and i cringe. Brrrr.

Anyway,

Thanks for the fan sign =]

Eh. Did you just say ‘sexy guy’? Who? ME? Surely you must be joking.

Yes. That’s the entire e-mail.

Okay, how many times do i have to say this? The reason that i don’t have any JLH (or Denise Richards or Alyssa Milano) pics on my site is because their lawyers (i think they all have the same one) e-mailed my host and threated to sue if i didn’t have their pictures removed. So that’s why i can’t have any of their pics on my site.

One guy IMed me earlier today suggesting that i have Christina Aguilera and Alyssa Milano nudes on the site. Again, if he’d actually READ the site and not just looked at the porn, he would’ve known why i didn’t have have Alyssa pics on here.

See? Told you most people just come here for the porn. AND NEVER READ THE POSTS.

‘lo

because i’m quite a lonely person, only leaving my bedroom to go to college
or work or some other poor reason, i visit your site quite often.
for all the humour (and let’s not forget pornography) you have provided me
with i thought i’d send you these, they took up a valuable 15 mins of my
time (time i could have spent either looking for porn or looking for warez
stuff!) and they still suck.

ah fuck it, i’ll get over it and you can delete ’em.

Don’t you just love it when people make fansigns and buttons for you?

And send you more naked-ish celebs?

you need some better pics so I attached a few. most blog sites suck but for some reason i read the posts on fubar every day. guess i am in your fanbase..
—————

I have a fanbase?

Oh yeah. Here’re a coupla pics i picked up while i was on the net last night. They’re nothing much. But worth a peek i guess. Been a while since i actually looked around for ‘porn’ myself.

• Trish Stratus (WWF chick)
• Kerry Katona (singer from that British girl group, Atomic Kitten)
• Tia Carrere (Schwing!)

READ THE POSTS MORE AND STOP LOOKING AT THE PICS.

Someone IMed me while i was away just now.

GCrAcKeR713: your a person
GCrAcKeR713: don’t answer
GCrAcKeR713: i found your site one on of my advantures for porn
GCrAcKeR713: i should be studying american history but
GCrAcKeR713: porn is a great american acomplishment
GCrAcKeR713: but then again i think i’ll just hit my bong

See what i mean?

Hi,

I’d just like to say I find your site to be very interesting. I really don’t know what it is but I just keep coming back to see if you have posted anything new. (Yes, I actually visit it for the posts and not for the porn) I found it while looking for the rules to this drinking game my best friend was interested in (the name of the game is FUBAR) and yours was the first site that appeared on the refferals list.

At first I must admit I didn’t think much of it, although it did intrige me. I found myself checking it out “just to see if I made any sense of it” and now I cant get enough of it!

DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A GOOD (AND ADDICTIVE) SITE!!!!

BTW: Did you win the Digital Pimp of the Year Award?
—————

I swear i didn’t make this e-mail up.

Nah, i didn’t win that DPOTY thing. In fact, nobody won. Because the contest was cancelled. And even if it had gone on, i would’ve been the biggest loser anyway. Nobody ever sends me fansigns.

Not as many as i’d like anyway.

HOW DOES HE DO IT??

Anyway, i’m outta here. Catch y’all later.
