NUTSHELL
I write fiction/poetry/erotica, sing well, record voiceover, go clubbing, play video games (pc, ps2, rpgs), love to travel, read, indulge in spas. I've lived in Singapore, Korea, Guam, and California. I'm half Filipino, half black, funny and charming, crude and enlightened. I'm demanding, but good for you.

The internet is a fabulous thing, and allows random and interesting connections. I'm open to meeting people, but please don't approach me as a sex toy or I'll electrocute you. I really mean that, by the way. :)

  • The Devil's Dictionary X& & Daily definitions

    Mmm, what the slang dictionary wishes it were. Heh. This filthy and meanderously phrased matrix of letters and meaning is deliberate in its verbiage and at once self-deprecating while also remaining sublimely portly and occasionally tongue-in-cheek. Have I confused you? Probably not, but this site sure will. Hopefully while you're ferreting out intent behind meaning while engaging with a word, you'll enjoy the voyage. It's like a scavenger hunt ... only with your MIND. *halloween howls*


    From the site:


    Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce began the original Devil's Dictionary in The Wasp, a weekly San Francisco paper, nearly 650 years ago in 1881. It was an on-¯off project until 1906 when most of the work was published as The Cynic's Word Book. This fine piece of marketing was forced by the precedent of Bierce's moralistic publisher perhaps worried that judgment by the cover was the Lord God's.


    ...Enter the Devil's Dictionary 2000; the first iteration of this book. This title brilliant in 1998's debut aged about as well as Elizabeth Taylor and was divorced just as quickly. The new wife-Devil's Dictionary X-is not without wrinkles but her trust fund is.



    The zygote of this lexicon is found in the pages of majenta, 1993-¯1996, the notoriously unknown New Mexican 'zine. A sometimes feature "Flowery speech" meant to confuse more than amuse.




    With that unpleasant establishment of © dates 10 years before our first bulk plagiarist moved to a dot-¯cx address, we along (it takes a petty mind to use a noun as a verb but a sublime machination of the Seraphim alone can force a preposition into the self-¯same sausage casing).



    By 1998 the Internet and the WWW were no longer distinguishable as separate entities-Why, when I was your age we had to build our ordnance from ASCII charts off the gophers! The writing was on the wall and the wall was best viewed in Mosaic or Netscape 3.0.



    Here is where the story would get really interesting if we had the fecal cohesion to tell it.
