Rutabaga

PageType: HomePage    

Okay, everyone... I'm Rutabaga. My email is veggie1@gmail.com (yes, seriously!) and my KGS screenname is Rutabaga. Everyone wants to know more about me, so I'm making a page. Amuzani's been begging to know my age, everyone asks where I live and how many sensei I have, and plenty of people are unsure about my gender. So here's a few random facts:

1. I am female.

2. I am not a turnip. I will answer to turnip unless you are saying something insulting about turnips, in which case I will clarify that I am a human with the alias Rutabaga.

3. I will not tell personal information to people I don't feel I know very well. I am a teenager, I'll tell you that much.

4. I live in America, in the Midwest. Actually I reside there. I live on KGS.

5. My teachers are andore, danielfred, launchpad, mrkibbles, mungo, piroko, syllable, taimaishu, ubiquity and uvas. I think I'm forgetting someone, or perhaps several. Plenty of other people have given me a lesson or 2, but alas I can't list all 100 or so of you people. I only remember these guys because I see them relatively often. It's good I'm not trying to list all my friends on KGS. This page would NEVER load, not even on the fastest computer.

6. Yes, I have many other accounts, and no, I won't tell you what they are. Four total, including this one. That was redundant....

7. My English teacher is having a weird effect on her students. Two of us, at least. We correct our own grammar errors, each other's, and everyone else's. Beware!

8. I want to be fluent in Japanese and probably Italian, too. And English, mochiron. I want to know enough Arabic, Sign Language, Coptic, French and Latin to communicate well with the help of guestures and charades. I want to know a little Spanish, German, and Chinese. Maybe some Greek and Russian, too. Right now, I'm working on the first four. They're enough!

Uvas?:An Arabic speaking turnip!?! Unheard of!!!

9. I'm thinking of being either a linguist, an editor of books, or the co-owner and co-manager of a side-by-side bookstore and cafe/restaurant. Other co-person would be my best friend, Ben, who is the next greatest chef in America and possibly also the next great pyromani- pyrotechnic.

10. Any of the above jobs would be only to pay for Go and my writing career. Well, hobby at present but it will be a career soon enough.

11. I have nothing else to say.

12. I changed my mind. I'm a proud member (#403? I have no clue! Something 03... I think) of the Sabaki Go Club. I am also a member^2 of the Panda Room.

13. I really have nothing left to say. When I have time, energy, and will to type my favorite quote up again I'll put it on here.

14. My 2nd favorite quote is about Go: 2ks do so much terrible stuff. Well, what about 8ks, then? Well 8ks are just funny. It's obvious that they're trying to puzzle things out, but they're like little kids. 2ks are old enough to know better. This was blatantly stolen from ChrisW's profile.

15. My proverb: The proverb that says "Proverbs don't apply to white" doesn't apply to white.

16. Ok this time I'm serious I don't have anything left to say. *thinks* Nope I'm pretty sure I'm done....

17. Ok, seriously, this IS the last time tonight (5-15-05) that I'm editing this. I just wanted to say that if you (whoever you are, reading this) would leave me a message at the bottom of the page I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I think no one is looking at my webpage. Even if it's like the message mrkibbles left for celila on her webpage (I came I saw I read... it needs to be updated) at least I know my work was not in vain. Wait- in vain? What purpose would it have anyway? Me and my insane brain. Don't mind me... wait, you're reading this, so of course- I'm just going to stop now before I confuse myself into getting a headache.

18. New day. I hate finals. And quadratic equations.

18.5 I finally (mid-July '05) found out who I get to hate for inventing quadratic equations: al-Kwarizmi. I'd say DIE (I'm becoming a bit like Ubiquity and Zetsumei, whose screenname I found out means death) but he lived in the Middle Ages and so is presumably already rotting.

19. My favorite quote is something by - agh, forget it, I have to study. I'll put it up later.

20. Survived first day of finals. Also created Veggie Room (properly called the Vegetable Garden), which anyone is welcome to join. If it happens to be private at the time, just message me and I'll put you on the list.

21. Also today I finished a game that I started weeks ago. Very fun. I'd recommend trying that- you, at your current rank, have to deal with stupid stuff you did at a previous rank.

impu1se: hehe, good one. I always fear to restart a game in my resume list - never know what kind of nasty surprises are in there.

22. Three days ago, I was going to finish another game I'd started before (seem to be doing that a lot lately...) when my computer sputtered and died- okay, so the screen flickered and went black, it didn't actually cough or anything. But it's still annoying! I can't get on KGS (did I mention that I go nuts without KGS?), and to get on internet I have to drag an ancient laptop to the nearest WiFi? hotspot. Anybody know what a .DLL file is, specifically OLEPRO32.DLL? I can't download Java without it, apparently. Maybe it's a Win98 thing... might as well upgrade to Windows XP while I'm messing with the computer. I'll be gone from the 29th to about the 1st of August anyway, so it doesn't matter much.

Hikaru79: A "DLL" is Windows lingo for a "Dynamic Linked Library". Most of them are system files, but not neccesarily. OLEPRO32.DLL specifically is the Microsoft OLE Property Support Library. OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is a framework for applications to interface with each other. An example would be watching a .wmv file in your internet browser. In your case, it deals with Java applets. It can be [ext] downloaded here

Rutabaga: I LOVE YOU! Want a cat?

23. Forgot to say that I made turnip.bravehost.com a while back- I was in a bad mood that day....

24. Since the 17th of June, I have been on KGS exactly twice. Can you say "mental hospital"? I knew I was switching houses, but now I think I might be headed to a nice white padded room.

25. My cat had 4 kittens! They look like mice.

26. My computer is being stupid. I got it to sort-of work and then it sort-of crashed. Bah humbug.

27. It's my birthday, I'm fifteen and insanely happy (and just plain old insane, too), and I get to watch the Pacifier, which I've wanted to see. And the kitties are BEAUTIFUL! One is bigger and almost all dark grey with a little white tuxedo-ish shirt, and he doesn't mind being held. They all object to being picked up, but he doesn't mind once he's held steady. The most beautiful is a calico with little bitty patches of gold and brown. Gorgeous! And then two adorable ones with large, even, squarish patches of grey on them (they're mostly white, and one has slightly larger patches). I LOVE THEM! I am so happy. I love you all.


Blake: I read it!

MichaelLesniak: Read it, too.

Rutabaga: Um, cool. I know who one of you is.

NannyOgg: Read it, three!

Rutabaga:Oh, great!

Ryau/Ryoma: Hey Sachiko, I read it : D. Cya soon on KGS.

QWerner: Well, I think I read also your side. Hm.... I am pretty sure I did. So maybe I will read it soon again.

jwaytogo: Nice page, veggie. Much more interesting than mine. =)

Rutabaga: Thanks! I'll trade ya my services for helping make your page interesting for a lesson or two or a new computer... By the way, anybody want a kitten? My mother's cat looks like a football (sideways, that is) with legs, so we're hoping she's going to have kittens. If not we have trouble. But I'll trade the kittens for a computer. It doesn't have to be new. An old-ish Mac would work. Please? Anybody?

Jared: With a little luck maybe you could make a new computer out of kittens..

Rutabaga: Don't you think that'd get a little bloody? I'm not a fan of guts and gore.

Celila: great page ;) and of course your other homepage too. I still hope I can read more, but it always looks the same. So as soon as your computer is working again, I hope that you'll update your pages! hope to get an e-mail from you soon ;) *waves*

kalim?: I have come, I have read, and I have responded!

Rutabaga: Thank you! Nice to meet you, stranger. Celibot, I tried to email you yesterday, but I'm not sure if it got through. Usually you're on the computer about 24/7! Anybody know why, when I try to log onto KGS on a school compy, it says something about a busy server?

Launchpad: Ok, don't get on my case, but I just figured out how SL works. I wanted to say HIHI, and come back to kgs! The plants are dying in the veggie room. It's just Ubiquity and me most of the time....scary I know.
