FAQs
Question: So what kind of site is this supposed to be?
Answer: Whatever I want it to be. Mainly me writing about things I think are keen, but who knows, the sky's the limit! I've never been one to be bound by stereotypes. Some say it's retrotainment, but it's more just me playing around with what happens to be currently amusing me.
My main goal for the site is to fill in a lot of gaps on the internet. When I find out that no one has archived the greatness of things like Mickey's Parade Ice Cream or Mr. Boogedy, it's really a rush to get that article up and running. Some say the site may be on the girly side but hey -- I'm a girl!
Question: So who's this Mystie person?
Answer: By day I'm mild-mannered (well, somewhat) Victoria Whitby, a medical billing specialist for a sister site of the local hospital. When I'm not typing up codes for medical visits and raping insurance companies, I enjoy yoga, karaoke, meditation, watching horrible things on TV, and hanging out with my extended posse of geek friends.
Question: What are some things you like that everyone else dislikes?
Answer: Sixlets candies, original dubbed Sailor Moon, lima beans, flat soda, and reruns.
Qustion: What are some of the things you dislike that everyone else likes?
Answer: David the Gnome, whiny emo music, cheap fragrance from Bath and Body.
Question: Can I take videos off your site?
Answer: I can't stop you from posting everything I have up on YouTube and thus keeping people from my site. I, personally, try to run on the old school netiquette of "don't take shit from other sites," but that seems to be a dying trend.
Question: I wanna talk to you! What's your AIM address?
Answer: You can contact me under the screen name CrownCombo, but don't expect me to be on too much. I'll pop on and off when I'm feelin' up to it. You're more than welcome to drop me an email, of course.
Question: You run ads on your site. That's like free money, right?
Answer: HAHAHA! No. See, I don't make that much off the ads. Plus I run up a lot of costs. I'm not just talking servers and domain names. Dolls, ice cream makers, crayons, videos, old boxes of cereal.... they all cost money. Possibly even more than I make from the ads. And amazingly Google isn't just handing me money for running ads, I do have to keep the traffic up to reep the benefits.
Question: Do you remember _____?
Answer: Anything I don't remember, I'll probably just Google and act like I do. ;)
Question: So do you still go to cons?
Answer: It depends. They can be pretty costly, especially for loners like me. Plus I have the WORSE sense of direction in the world, so I usually only go if I have someone to go with or it's within a couple blocks of a bus drop-off.
Question: Why don't you start a forum?
Answer: I could, easily enough. In general I don't like internet forums. Basically I don't have time to babysit assholes online. When forums start up, you collect a few "regulars" and you develop sort of a kinship with them. Then after a while, the regulars start beating down newbies and being just plain rude and you tend to turn a blind eye because they've been there forever. Add a few more assholes into the mix, and now you have total chaos. I don't have it in me to let people get torn apart like that on my watch.
Question: Anything else?
Answer: Yeah, come watch me whore my site out on MySpace. It's a good time. |
