from a fire signFriday, April 11, 20087:57PM - from a fire sign -- journal friending infoHola. This journal is not exactly "friends-only," but sorta kinda "friends-mostly." I post most entries publicly, but then go back and f-lock them after a week or so. Sunday, July 8, 200711:53PM - "I was blind but now I see." Jeebus, and they make it sound like a GOOD thing.Just got glasses, which apparently I've needed for something like eight years, though I thought I was getting by just fine (except for the squinting at road signs, notes on boards at school, small-print icons, etc.). The first thing I see clearly in nearly a decade? My face in a mirror, which the oh-so-helpful LensCrafters guy seemed to think I'd like. Current mood:  crankyWednesday, June 27, 20071:42AM - alskdjfadslkfjdk;lasdf,Okay, sorry, f'list. Skip=flagillion (yes, that is a play on "flagitious"!) is too much for me right now. Me read slow. Wednesday, June 20, 200711:43PM - ficcus interruptusSorry, folks, really not trying to ignore anyone. I'm working on a writing project on a deadline (no, nothing that pays, drat it all), and it's all I can do to keep myself away from any and every distraction possible. (Staying away from the computer and working longhand doesn't even do the trick, as I managed to spend six hours yesterday on a crack!tastic Jjail sequel instead of the project. I'll reread that one later and see if it's worth cleaning up.) Project's finally going well, and the bulk oughtta be done tomorrow or the next day, so I'll be looking at flist/comments/mail again after that... Tuesday, June 12, 200711:57AM - why, when you're being a bully, you should be sure your victim doesn't have AN ARMY OF BUFFALO OMGSurely this has made the rounds of LJ before, but on the chance it didn't... Battle at Kruger. A baby water buffalo gets taken down by lions at the edge of a water hole. Then crocs come up for a bite o' baby, and the lions deal with that. Then the few grownup buffalo the pride scared away at the beginning return -- with absolutely everyone -- and kick the lions' asses. And baby jumps up to rejoin the herd. Tuesday, June 5, 200711:36AM - astrology babbleMerc retrograde approaches, mis amigos y amigas. Ten days from now, though those of y'all more sensitive to Mercury -- or those who have Mercury already making a significant aspect to your natal chart that will continue through most of the retrograde period -- might be feeling early effects already. Prepare for communication difficulties (beware the kerfuffles), ghosts from the past, reflection and rethinking and revisiting choices made. Remember that it's a valuable time, one for consideration rather than action, so think thoroughly and don't go moving on any world-changing decisions 'til after July 9, if that can be avoided. And it's generally considered not the best time to sign any meaningful contracts, what with communication being more difficult and thinking less clear for most folks than is normally the case. Monday, June 4, 200711:56PM - GIPEdit: Link no workie. Google "Pepe le Pew quotes" and follow the first result. Current mood:  amused2:19AM - iconsA few AWE icons, all a mite spoilery: Barbossa, Tia Dalma, hot twin chicks, Moog, Norrington, one I keep calling "we poosh ze leetle sheeps around" in my head, though I don't know why... I forgot how hard it is to bend a little 100 X 100 pixel box to one's will. Saturday, June 2, 20073:56AM - Renascence 1/1Title: Renascence Friday, June 1, 200712:39PM - GeeJay's cuter to say than ElJay.I've already lost track of who I gacked the link from, but this is a great report on the Six Apart/WfI event: Six Apart casts “evanesco”. Fanfic authors cast “expelliarmus”. Thursday, May 31, 20071:04PM - important clarification re: sucrose swiping simiansI would just like to clarify in response to the explanation of LJ Interests found here: Current mood: extremely serious Wednesday, May 30, 200712:24PM - divisions in the ranks?In doing a little skimming to see what I've missed in fandom and particularly about Norrington over the past - verylongtime - I find myself having to furrow my brow and scratch my head and go, "Was ist diese...'anti-squee'...?" Current mood: amused5:09AM - "Jollies" [PG]Figure I'll be treating this as primarily a fannish journal for the time being... Saturday, May 26, 20071:13PM - a comment on AWEI'm kinda hesitant to say this for fear of jinxing myself, but I do think I'm gonna be around a bit more now. Just give me a little time to ease back in, m'dears. Current mood:  contemplativeFriday, May 25, 2007Sunday, September 25, 20059:13PM - mindless distractionI like it when he folds backwards. (Use your mouse. Gacked from crooksandliars.com.) Current mood:  tiredMonday, April 18, 200511:28AM - more playing with LizzieHad time to write more of the Elizabeth thing while doing laundry. Hee. Fun now. Haven't had time to give it a thorough edit; please forgive any typos. Current mood:  cheerfulSunday, April 17, 200511:08PM - um...potc...thing...I know where it's going and where it's been, and expect it'll be keeping my mind occupied this week, which suggests I might actually get this one finished -- but if you're especially leery of WsIP, you should probably skip this for now. Current mood:  sleepyThursday, April 14, 20051:43PM - fly-by postIn a rush, can't answer anyone 'til later, but I just had the coolest encounter when I took Bruce to the park for a quick run. There was this sturdy, young-grandmotherly-type Hispanic woman, maybe 50 or so, who wouldn't have stood out in any normal setting, anywhere. What made me notice her? She was training for javelin, shot put and discus competitions. Current mood:  energeticThursday, March 10, 200510:20AM - what my grandma did to JackYou know how I hate those "omg I haaate seeing Thing X and Thing Y in fic, you writers who write Thing X and Thing Y piss me right off - die, Thing Y! I'd kill you myself if I could" posts? Well, if you don't know, I haaate seeing those posts, and writers of those posts piss me right off, and I'd murderify those posts myself if I could. What the hell do I care if you're annoyed because five writers whose stories I've never read have used the same descriptive phrase I came to with my own wee brain? And how much do I really not give a frig if you have an inordinate distaste for the actual common name of the bump on the boobie that gets pokey when its owner is happy (or cold)? I know, I know - you're just trying to "shape your fannish experience to better please you." Well, bugger off. Your fanshape only looks shiny because it's fresh poo. Current mood:  dorkyThursday, March 3, 200511:48PM - blame-gameBah. This is one of those stupid things that won't get out of your head and let you sleep until you get out of bed and type it up. I think it's fanfic's way of threatening me with insomnia if I dare forget it. Current mood: sleepy |
