Latest Update
Fixed some typos around (added wikipedia links, etc), also fixed up the homepage which was getting old. Now it has other photos :)
I had been wanting to include more photos on the homepage and didn't exactly know how to include them in a very sophisticated classy way. I tried getting some help from the volunteer team, but my request was too complicated. Nevertheless, this was going to happen, with the team's help or not.
Not exactly what I wanted, but this will have to do. I am afraid my knowledge in this department can go but so far, heh.
I'm pleased with it for now...
One Mile Below - awesome....
I've never enjoyed myself so much since I created this wiki, more than a year and a half ago. Not only has it felt wonderful to work with the Mantaray articles (as difficult as it was to make the album page), I've enjoyed every bit of it. And the tracks are a large bonus, lovely for the most part. Enjoying the solo work of Siouxsie it's like being in "heaven on earth".
Let it be known however, I discovered Siouxsie in 2007. Not because of this album... or perhaps it was? Not sure, since before that album Siouxsie and the Banshees had been forgotten (for the most part). I never heard about her at all before. Perhaps saw her on TV, heard about her in the radio news, or maybe MTV/VH1 but maybe once in my life and since I didn't know her, …
Oh yeah two badges within an hour of each other...
Wow, this is super addicting! What the heck I didn't expect this! But it feels so good to get these little buggers!
PS. Oh come on, really!!! I DID NOT plan this... honest! Pinky promise. I am planning, however, the devoted badge - that one will NOT go unnoticed!
PPS. Comments please! There is a badge called "Opinionator" you can earn if you do so. Tempting enough?...
Two weeks in the wiki badge....
This badge has got to be the biggest headache yet. I have worked in the wiki for prolonged periods of time for more than one year. Then I rest a bit and come back... anyway, this badge requires that you somehow make edits in a wiki within 24 hours from each other (or perhaps within 24 to 26 I dunno). Anyway, if you miss a day (say you come back to the wiki 28 hours later) you start at day 1. I tried this before, it wasn't fun! And for the record: I think I've only done this here, because I never succeeded in any other wiki when it comes to this badge. Forget the 30 days in the wiki badge I am done with that. ;)
West of a White House...
Come on, anyone born before 1975 has got to be familiar with this. I know I am, and I wasn't born until 1977!
Short and to the point... this is a reference to the Zork series of games -- if you don't know about it, I urge you... you must find out!
Zork is (was) such a great contribution to the world nowadays, it contributed to many different aspects:
- Technical world history - without it, the very first computers would have been totally boring.
- The computer gaming industry - Zork were some of the first computer games ever played, and thousands of games are/were based on, one thing or another, that Zork introduced.
- The table game industry - Zork was the first interactive game, which included a table game (Double Fanucci) that you did not technica…
Oh yes need to put this in a page...
My cat Kairy turned 15 years old on April 3rd and I quickly made her this, it is usually a policy of Wikia to delete images that are not in use. Though I AM the captain of my wiki, but still that could change someday. So here it is now it can't be deleted (click on it to make it bigger):
It started out small and now it's freaking huge and scary...
I hope the policies don't scare people off! I really wanted the article to be small and simple, but all of a sudden realized that it takes more that 4 paragraphs to get the entire message through. Please everyone forgive me, but I really want to address everything I can in the shortest amount of time. I just don't want people to feel like they have to be directed to a bunch of policy links all over Wikia, on what is general or what applies to certain wikis. This way the user know how things are around here rather than applying rules followed in other wikis. I hope you all understand. --Liliana (my talk). 12:47, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
It's so difficult, and yet so rewarding...
Working on the wiki is so hard, when you have to dig into so many sources, like YouTube videos, fan pages, etc.
I want the information to be as accurate as possible. Hopefully we can come close at least. I would like to make an article about everything that has to do with the group(s). Every song will have one as well. Various Artists is coming up soon. This includes anyone who contributed behind the scenes with the Banshees, The Creatures, and Siouxsie while solo. Still a lot of work ahead of me. Not that many people have fan pages about Siouxsie's solo work. So I'd like this to be the best source for that. Siouxsie.com is gone, sadly this seems to scream the message that she is done singing. I hope it's not forever =(
PS. By the wa…
But, what are dreams? :)
Anyways, in my entire life I really haven't dreamt with celebrities. But in the last two years I have dreamt with Siouxsie in 3 different occasions. My memory betrays me sometimes but I remember one of the dreams really vividly (the first one) and God I have to say, it was just too real. She was young, but I really felt I was there... who knows, maybe I went back in time to be with her. Needless to say it was beautiful and one of the most unforgettable things that happened to me with someone I like to listen to. I consider my dreams sacred and do not like to reveal them just to anybody but it was so beautiful, almost like she trusted me enough to be herself around me. Eh, that could never happen in real life I know... memories are al…
I guessing it takes a dedicated fan...
To create an article as dedicated as this, most CD stores don't contain not even half of that information. It's a shame I yet do not have ALL her albums, otherwise I could do this with all of them. I only have 8 plus Dreamshow and that one (Downside Up). I'm working on those soon, lot of work to be done :) --Liliana (my talk). 21:10, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
So kitties and digital media don't mix...
- 1 The unfortunate happens...
It was around November when I decided to get my 4 year old son a classic game by Humongous Entertainment called "Freddy Fish and The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds", and I had just unwrapped the CD. I usually copy the CD to my computer immediately, but go the extra mile and make a CD image file in the Mac to play it without the need of CD. So while I was copying the image into a separate CD, Kairy the cat comes and finds that she loves the smell of the brand new CD media. For some reason Kairy the cat thinks that brand new digital media content smells "really good", and had been wanting to get her paws (or shall I say claws) on brand new digital media material. I had been careful in the past, for the most part…
About me...
My name is Liliana and I like to help out around Wikia. I have founded several wikis including this one, and try to gain as much knowledge as I possibly can from the web and books. I recommend The Telltale Turtle (great mystery book with a cat involved) and The Junk Food Diet is another one of my favorites. I am terribly skinny and I eat a lot of junk food. I stay away from "all-you-can-eat buffets" and "Mc Donalds" which I recon are killing so many people with obesity.
Next time you're hungry, grab a bowl of Apple Jacks cereal with whole milk, a chocolate bar, and a can of cola. Believe it or not all of those together can't come close to as many calories as a full meal. Oh yeah and when Christmas comes around make sure to drink eggno…
