Seek, and You Shall Find

Seek, and You Shall Find

My computer was held hostage over the weekend. It spent 24 hours rendering, and at the end of those hellish hours, I was supposed to hand over a thousand words, 6000 pixels wide and 4800 pixels high, with absolutely no cops involved. If I didn’t, then I was never to see my computer again. What a harrowing experience.

Anyway, I got my computer back, but the kidnappers were never found. After I post this, I will search for them on Google.

On the bright side, right after all the therapy I put my computer through, it rediscovered its hobby of digital fauxtography and managed to capture a candid shot of the alien rave I just attended. Broch was the DJ, and he was great! See if you can spot me.

Broch's Alien Rave

But back to the topic of searching on Google—I’m a little bit dismayed about the search requests people use to find me. I’m only slightly more disturbed (and impressed) by the keyword searches people make within my log itself.

Exhibit A: People look for terrorists and fake-boobed celebrities (neither of which can be found here); they also ask thought-provoking questions, which I answer correctly; but mostly, you will find lots of hair.

Exhibit B: People like to write long notes in the search field, not even addressed to me.

Exhibit C: My readers know a great word or two.

Exhibit D: Uh… this one you’d have to see. I can’t figure out if it’s an elaborate and subtle joke designed to make me giggle, or if the person looking for a certain word actually suffers from it, most especially while typing. Either way, the irony isn’t lost on me.

By the way, have you spotted me yet? If not, you might want to participate in Heather‘s Badge Swap. I sent her a toon of me, and if you’re unlucky enough to get the badge with my design, send me a photo of you wearing it—I’ll send you a print if you do.

  4. Whew, do I need a vacation after that night! It was great to see all of my new alien friends get their little groove on. For the next party, I am going to have to familiarize myself better with what they dance to, I kept getting requests for Barry Manilow remixes from the rather tall purple alien. Little did I know that there was a brewing romance going on with one of the cage dancers. Heaven sent Coryn out on special assignment for the evening and we got to dance to a few slower songs at the end of the night. She let me know that everyone was ok.

    April, thanks for hosting the gathering!

  5. It was a blast, even though I had to double as a bouncer. Ya know, to protect my buddy the DJ from getting any Milli Vanilli requests. 🙂

  6. Minnie: You must be more specific. The aliens are wide-eyed and dazed, too. 😉

    Warren: I’ve hidden it in my pants! 😀

    Jim: Perhaps it’s because at the time the picture was taken, Broch was playing "The Freaks Come Out at Night?"

    Broch: Thank YOU for DJing the gig. The aliens loved your spinning style.

    Tony: I’m so very sorry you had to subdue me, but I just HAD to hear the words "girl, you know it’s true" again!

  7. April, I checked everywhere, very carefully; though, while I may have been tempted, I didn’t check ‘there’. According to this picture, I’m thinking you ain’t keeping this pussy under wraps.

  8. I love the “Where’s Waldo” look that you’re sporting! You’re just missing the glasses.
    I do have one question… Does that hand sticking up in the upper left belong to someone in particular, or is that the only alien with a sleeve?

  9. Warren: Not intentionally. I guess she’s just a little shy. She likes to hide after a bath. 🙂

    Parl: Hee! I also left out the hat. Seriously, though, I’m glad you totally got the Waldo thing. 😀

    The hand, however, belongs to a party-crashing orange alien just outside the window; it is lit too harshly by the light and sporting a window sill shadow rather than a sleeve — a little hard to see at the size I’ve posted. There’s more detail in the larger version.

  10. Is that not a red and white striped bow you’re wearing in lieu of the hat? That’s what I thought anyway.

  12. If you look at me, it looks like I am giving everyone the bird (a green bird that is).

    But I swear I wasn’t.

  13. Well, it looks like i missed out…

    Now, due to my being ‘offline’ for a bit, um…was this a real gathering (ie. in person) or have i just been away too long to keep up with the in-crowd…?

    Oh, speaking of music ~ Tony, i have some music for you (You too April, if you like…)

    =)

  14. Tony: I could have sworn those were gang signs.

    Saen: In-crowd? I was never part of the in-crowd. Those at the rave were those who were already somehow Whimsytooned. 🙂

    Would love some music, btw. I haven’t had a working radio/stereo in YEARS!

  16. VJ, all non-alien characters have previously been made into a Whimsytoon. Just check the caricatures gallery.

    As for my e-mail, I am making some changes, yes. I’m in the process of dumping one of my accounts.

  17. VJ, you have no idea… April, if you would like to share the story with him, please feel free.
