Paprika-porn!

Since my website comes in all those amazingly porn-related searches that I mentioned a few weeks ago, I thought I’d give the audience what they demand, so here is some vegetable porn….paprika-porn, to be precise This thing popped up from a paprika at the breakfast the other day and my dad and I wanted to show it to everyone because we’re easily amused, but my mom put it in a stew.

Some amazing paprika-porn: right here, right now, only on squirrelism.net!

In the end, she was the one who came across it at the dinner table and she was screaming at dad to get it out of her plate, because she didn’t want to eat paprika testicles and a paprika penis. There you go, all the porn lovers who come to this site must be delighted now.

Don’t you just LOVE nature?

Happy New Year!

There’s a certain vibe in the air. Happy New Year to you and happy err… fourth anniversary to me, I guess I’ve graduated from whateverthismay be after four years? Am I a bachelor or a master now?:)

In 2008 I resolve to freakin’ update this thing more often, like I used to. 2007 and the most of the 2006 have killed it a bit and I know I can do better than that. I sure do.

Umm…yes, a Monday and a Tuesday?

Two boring days are ahead of me and it’s the same every year. People laugh when I say that 24th and 25th December are the days made-in-heaven when it comes to maintenance on this site, Invisible Movement and the Serbian Lush site. And seriously, that’s what I’m going to be occupied with the next two days, apart from remembering to wish my friends a merry Christmas.

I doubt I’d ever explained this on this domain, so here I go again: please, do not wish me a merry Christmas. I’m Serbian. Serbia is a Christian country (though I’d state this because someone asked me if “I’m not dating because Muslim rules don’t allow that”), but our church is going with Greek old calendarists, Jerusalem Orthodox church, Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian Orthodox churches, as well as some noncanonised churches such as Montenegrin and Macedonian. In terms of religion, we never accepted the Gregorian calendar, according to which Christmas is celebrated on 25th December. And we might not accept it in future either, as we’re sticking with those “big names”.

According to Julian calendar, the name of which obviously comes from Julius Caesar, has been abandoned in all countries of the world in terms of real-life, but is still used in the above mentioned churches. The other Orthodox churches are using a Revised Julian calendar, the solar part of which is indentical to the one of Gregorian calendar. Ironically, although it was a Serbian scientist, Milutin Milanković, who proposed it; the Revised Julian calendar was rejected by Serbian Orthodox Church.

So, if you really want to wish me a merry Christmas, come back on 07th January 2008, because that’s when we’re celebrating it. As for Easter…that’s a whole new story.

Come to think…what was I thinking?

Sometimes I wonder what on earth was I thinking when I’d whipped out the database hosting my old blog. As far as I can remember, there was someone who offered me to transfer it to the new webspace, but I had dial-up at home, I probably thought I’m never going to regret it, it was March 2006 aka Iva’s month of panic for almost no reason (let’s skip that story as it’s even offensive considering what holiday is coming up for my western Christiain friends!) and I was fed up with my mood swings in 2004 and 2005; especially May 2005 when the good things and bad things were rotating as if two different people were blogging.

Now I’m looking those old entries up. And I am going to recover them, oh yes I will. I even want to write a story on what supersonicsquirrel.net was like, how many people I was hosting. I think I had more than 30 hostees overall. God, I had so much free time, today I wouldn’t be able to handle it! Back then it was like a freakin’ train station and some of them never even managed to actually finish their websites and put them online, some others disappeared without a trace, a couple were not even responding to my emails about still being alive.

Before I do all of that and much more, I have found the oldest entry [minus the test one], written in November 2002. Back then, there was a meme called What if…, founded by some German girl whose name I do not even remember. And I actually made a public blog solely to present my answers to that one. The girl was posting a different question from a book she read once a week and then she was looking up people’s answers. Below the cut you’ll find my answers and the dates I replied. In my next post, I will try to reply all of these questions, five years later and it will be funny to compare them and see how much I’d changed, even though the base of me, the core is still the same.

It was NOT long ago, but the way this world is speeding up, it needs a ticket and we all need to stop and smell the roses.

It was 2002. Many things were heading towards a beautiful happy ending, solely to crash like Titanic soon after. Queen mom died, Maria Naumova won the ESC, mobile phones rarely had colour screens, iPods were resembling small tanks, Brazil won the world cup, central Europe was affected by the biggest floods in the recent times and Switzerland joined United Nations.

I was nineteen years old. I had no major goals in life other than finishing university (not knowing I’ll remain stuck in the class year I entered at that time) and publishing something, someday, not even knowing what and when. Today I have so many goals that I could easily beat Juste Fontaine’s record on the 1958 world cup.

And, before you get scared of it: read the paragraphs above again and again and one more time.
