<3 Nubby writes How I Became A Twitter Addict (And Why You Should, Too!). Featuring a video of her signing up for the site on my computer in my living room! Oh, the excitement! (I just had No Impact Man over to my place & we signed him up for Twitter at 1am! He is here! Can I get a kickback, Twitter?!)

  1. It’s me again! I was all set to send your gift, but when I got the shipping quote…well…can I send it to your NY address if at all possible? I live in the States too, and the quote I got said you would receive it Wed/Thurs (the 23/24)

  2. I am surprised it took so long for an article to be written so openly about casual sex found online. Especially after seeing some of the ads on Craigslist!
    Lalala, so casual.

    xxx Mademoiselle Robot, wondering what one wears to have casual sex on craigslist.

  3. i shall be doing the test on theonequestion.com later on
    for some reason its a little scary not knowing exactly what my purpose is in life, or what i really want as a job.

  4. I particularly love that Living a Life with Purpose link. And as for ‘Living a day in Grace’, I had an experience with that the other day. I had a very odd man come a clean my carpets, and whilst I talked to him, (trying to be kind and understanding as he was a little slow) discovered that he was writing a book on Grace, and how each little moment of Grace that others had shown him has changed his life. Wow.

  5. I read Steve Pavlina’s article this afternoon, it is a great read (as per the usual with his work). I’m going to check out How to Say Nothing In 500 Words – sounds like it will be quite interesting.

    I enjoyed this carousel – lots of stuff that feels relevant for me right now.

    ps: Overheard in New York has saved me on many a boring day!

  6. Pls hang out with me when I come to Melbourne, thx.

  7. i really enjoy it when you post “carousel”. i always love searching the net for visually stimulating and thought changing websites, and you provide both in these posts.

    i just finished reading “mind your language” and now i’m starting to feel cautious about what i type and say, haha~ i never realised it, but it’s so true!

  8. EXCELLENT carousel this week, Miss Gala… I love ‘Overhead in New York’ tooooooo! My boyfriend and I used to hang out together in the factory at work after-hours and read it and laugh ourselves silly…

    Also really liked the Craig’s List article – have dabbled a little (teeny bit!) in similar on-line experiments myself, and it was certainly a growth experience… Must read through the rest of the links when it is more day-timey and my contacts are not bothering me so much!

    Love and hugs…

  9. Great.. now I’m in Twitter too, hahaha! Gala.. you are bad influence to me :D

  10. Hi Gala, I found your blog few days ago walking through the web and now I’m addicted to it! I must say (as you know) you are such an inspiring beautiful girl! Thank you so much for sharing all your amazingness! Now I’m practicing EFT and reading all your blog. I never have wore heels, I don’t know how to! But I’m going to get a pair and start on it cause they look too good to not to! And as soon as I get home I’m redecorating my whole room, throwing a bunch of old cloth and getting my 4th small tattoo! I’m so excited! You are fantastic! :D And your tattoo is pure awesomeness!

    Thanks again!
    Best wishes!
    Many muacks!

  11. Agh! You pulled me out of my lurkiness!

    As a result of Steve Pavlina’s article/challenge, I made $23 ‘love’ dollars.

    I told my readers that if I made my goal of $1 love dollar, I would post a video of me dancing on PersistentIllusion. Yeah, lemme tell you, they were QUICK to donate, lol.

    I’m so glad you mentioned his article.

  18. I love the article on language – so so true!

  19. How to earn your first love dollar – I love it! It came just at the right time!!!!

  20. I got a comment yesterday on my blog under the post you linked to (Thanks a lot for that Gala!). The person was complaining that there was a link for a free e-book at the end of the post, but when she clicked it asked for $4.99.

    I explained that it was a genuine error because when the post first published the book was just a word doc saved to pdf, but in the meantime I’d paid to have it professionally laid out.

    Anyway, just on the off chance that anybody clicked through and thought I was trying to rip them off, I apologize, it was entirely my fault. Also if you e-mail me to tim@adaringadventure.com, I’ll send you a free copy of the new version.

    Cheers
    Tim
