Wordless Wednesday # 1

Well apparently I am a big fat cheat, because I am posting words here…on Wordless Wednesday…that’s not right is it? But it’ll only be for this first time, to explain what it is for anyone not familiar with the concept.

Wordless Wednesday is pretty self explanatory though I think, I post a photograph taken by me or a random one found on the web and I let it speak for itself.  I warn you nowt I am not an awesome photographer…so who knows what you’ll get. Here’s the first one, enjoy.

Desert Island Websites

Ponder this, you find yourself alone and stranded on a desert island…you have nothing but the clothes on your back and a laptop, it got a little wet and now will only allow you to visit three websites, and use three programs. What do you chose, and why?

Mine would be:
Websites -

Youtube - Obvious reasons, you can watch whole TV series and have endless hours of fun…plus make friends and interact with people to keep you from getting lonely.

Mininova - So I can download the updates for my three chosen programs, and watch any TV show or film I ever want to.

Wikipedia - Lots of free time, so you could learn every thing in the world ever. Plus you’d be able to find out if you just ate poisonous berries or something.

Programs -

Azureus - So that I can download the .torrents I get from Mininova.

Windows Media Player - So I can watch said downloaded torrents.

MSN - So that I can keep in touch with my loved ones, and make new friends galore.

Post your picks in the comments :)

My Fiance

Now, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, other half, best friend and fiance - as he will always be referred to in this blog.

As I mentioned in my first post we met online back in 1999 in Dreamarena, the chat room on the sega dreamcast - we became friends over time and eventually met up one drunken night in 2003 and were almost immediately a couple. He lived 70 miles away from me and was the only one of us who could drive, he also worked 6 nights a week so for a while it was very difficult and over the first few years we almost broke up a few times because I couldn’t handle the long distance. Thankfully we stuck it out and things got easier.

We got engaged July 2007, after 4 years of being together. We weren’t and still aren’t in any rush to get married or have kids, we may be pushing 30 but we are big kids at heart ourselves.

I wouldn’t be without him. Not for less than a million pounds any way.

My other sites

I love doing a lot of things in my spare time, but by far and away I spend most of my free time running websites and blogging. I simply cannot get enough of blogging. Let me tell you a little about them…

I have my ‘other’ personal site, that I have pretty much abandoned now. It’s sad but I just lost my love for it, I have run that site since 2001.

I have my reality tv site, where I post videos, news and opinions about reality tv shows from around the world and it gets a lot of traffic.

UK Bargains covers knowledge on cashback sites, freebies, killer offers and vouchers and the like. I love saving and earning money online, so it’s only fair to share my skills, right?

I have a blog all about my weight loss journey and quest to live a healthier life.

I also run a 3rd personal blog. Oooooh. That’s a lot of personal blogging huh?

All I need now is a blog about my impending nuptials and one about bingo and I’ll be set :)

Who is Viki?

Well hello there and welcome to my new weblog, one of several I own and run. What can I say, I love to chatter away — my fiance gets bored of me talking to him all the time about every mico event in my life so I have to have that outlet somewhere, right?

A little about your hostess — aka me — My name is Victoria, but no one calls me that and lives to tell the tale, except for my mother when I’ve been a naughty naughty girl. Please call me Viki, or by my Internet alias, Starlet. I am 28 years old, but probably look and act a lot younger. My birthday is March 20th and I am a Pisces, though I am not sure why I told you that as I pay no attention to astrology.

I am getting married in the near future, though no date is set. My fiance and I have been together for 5 and a half years and we have known each other since 1999. We met on the Internet — before it was cool and normal to do such things.

I live in the UK.

I am a night owl, I love living my life while everyone else is sleeping. Going to the supermarket at 2am to do the weekly shop is the bomb.

I am employed as a…well…it’s kinda complicated to explain, but let’s just say I earn my daily bread online - and no, contrary to what 99% of people assume when I say that, I am not a porn star.

And that’s all I am willing to share with you right now, we don’t know each other well enough yet to be more personal…but hopefully that will change soon :D

Welcome to Jeoberpta.com

Oh no, I only went and got another domain…another one, I just can’t stop, I have the domain bug!

I remember when I used to run two sites and people would say they had several and I’d wonder how on earth they would want to, or even could run so many. Crazy people. Now I am one of the crazy people.

Why Jeoberpta? I just love how it sounds…I love inventing words that aren’t actually words, but just sound nice. I think I scored a 9.5/10 for this one.

I plan on this being a personal blog to start off with by to eventually head into a niche — I am just yet to decide what that niche will be, I am hoping it will come to me eventually :)

Enjoy!
