Dear self,

Quit putzing about and do something productive with your lazytiem.


And now, a moral question.

When some innocent-looking lady stops you in the hall and asks if the guy you're sorta-tailing is your boyfriend because he's walking faster than she is and you'd decided to tail him because she's moving close to the wall and you don't want to bump into her as you powerhouse your way home, and you reply omg no! and then she hands you a flyer and asks if Jesus is your boyfriend and have you accepted him as your personal saviour....

What is the appropriate response?

I lied through my teeth ._. and I wonder if I shouldn't've said something more to the effect of "no, but the Flying Spaghetti Monster is pretty sweet". (Also, I am going to try to amass an army of volunteers to move me, and I'm wondering if I should feed them burgers or spaghetti and meatballs...)

My theory is if there is a god, and he is as forgiving as he's supposed to be, then what does it matter if I actively believe/worship or not? At least the cute asian girls who came to the door believed in a god-mother...

Harry Potter love.
What day is it? Confusing.
My sister is hurt.

( The non-confusing version )

Je suis omelette du fromage!!

Non?

Je suis avec pomme de terre?

...non?

Oh alright. Those are in-jokes anyway XD

I love the best French thing EVAR (or rather, French-Canadian)





POUTINE.

This past weekend, I went down to Dinosaur Provincial Park with raspberry_belle, losemymouth, dobbin477 and Denton for a fun weekend of tents, hiking, badlands and dinosaurs!

( Only one spider tried to threaten my life. )

I was recommended to read A Woman Worth Ten Coppers by Morgan Howell in a rather roundabout way. Meaning, I was looking at Zutara fanart on a comm and someone had done cross-over art of Zuko and Katara as the main characters from the book. Intrigued but uncertain, I finally just bought it in Chapters' buy-3-get-the-4th-free sale and technically paid nothing for it. Woot.

Well damn. I'm totally hooked. I finished it last night. Hot damn, I thought, I need a sequel like whoa. It was getting to the good stuff! But I had an inkling that it would be a wait yet, as it only came out last year. Amazon has the sequel as coming out on October 27.

Whiiiiiiine. A: It's a long wait. B: October 27th? I can't read a novel that close to Nano! Anything I read in October flavours whatever I write in November! I was planning on writing a space opera which got changed (maybe) to a steampunk novel with a Klapperschlange and an epic chase scene through Badlands in the middle of a storm in which several men and regrettably many horses die during our hikes through Dinosaur National Park on the weekend. But if I read that novel four days before Nano? I'll wind up writing a fantasy (perhaps the sequel to my 2005 nano that I never finished).

So I whined to Debbie, and she said "well why not write a steampunk space opera fantasy?" And I thought about it for a second, and then figured, it worked for Treasure Planet...

Anyway, A Woman Worth Ten Coppers is a good read, and I have some planning to do.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

learan gave me R :D

( These are mostly Japanese... )

I really want to read some fanfic of one of my OTPs (icon related XD) but there isn't anything new. Conclusion: I should clean up my 12k monstrosity and work on the sequels and write my own.

That sounds a lot like work, though...

Pheewwwwww time for an update? Dzi and company came up on Saturday, where we had a whirlwind tour of Nightshade, Fabricland, and the karaoke place in the space of about 6 hours. Fabric for Miaka & Yui = gotten.

Sunday was waterpark with 10 people (super fun!) and then Transformers 2nd viewing. I think I'm good on it, now. Twice was enough.

Last night was me trying to sleep and being entirely unable to for almost two hours. I was freaking out and should have posted a status update along the lines of "can't sleep and will have a mental breakdown in about 2 days". Stressed because of work, having a kitten I really shouldn't keep, and needing to find a place to live at the end of the month. Moving while A: on a fixed budget, and B: during year-end inventory, has to suck harder than almost anything I can think of ATM. I also busted up my savings bonds account online, so now I can't access that money, and I will probably need it to help afford the deposit for my silly cats.


So... slightly less stressed than I was this morning. But that isn't saying much.

I got tired of ads and shit and bought myself 2 months (for now) of paid time.

Mostly so I could upload this icon XD Brings my Bitch Plz icons up to four!

Toph is awesomesauce and bitches best recognize.

Also, my legs are full of ITCHINESS and its DRIVING ME CRAZY D:

Watching an old episode of Reboot reminds me what a fantastic show this is :D "Gun: Death Blossom Mode" = me ROFL'ing. Obscure The Last Starfighter reference FTW!

No, but I am fully certified for the next year to do so. I hope I never have to use those skills.

I need my icon space back :/ I'm getting a nice collection of "BITCH PLZ" ones XD I think I'm up to 4 now (its a nice collection, stfu)

I'm also looking for a specific Sokka icon... He's making a D: face and the text reads "Crazed Sokka Expression #39" or something very similar. I think he's wearing something from S3 but I could be misremembering that.

AHAHAHAHA its funny to see a dude from 300 with his clothes on in a different movie XD

In order:

Otters
Polar bears
Pandas
Kittens
Ducks

Transformers was pretty fricken sweet :D

Got home just before 3, slept some time around 4, and had to get up at 8 (but actually got up at 7:30). I am friggen TIRED.

AVATAR ABRIDGED MADE ME MISS A NEW HARRY POTTER TRAILER D:

...But it was fookin' hilarious XD Yay Kung-Fu Action Jesus!

OH BOY PROSTATE HEALTH SPOKESROBOT OPTIMUS PRIME! I love Robot Chicken!

Am eagerly watching the final two episodes of Avatar.

Azula is currently being completely foolish D: I'm gonna guess that she is going crazy.

Ozai is already crazy >.> Why do these take-over-the-world megalomaniacs never realize that taking over the world is not all its cracked up to be? Will be interesting to review the Evil Overlord list later to see how many violations he has...

ETA: Finished part 3. GAH-HAH!!! Was my very loud reaction D:

I really enjoyed the fight between Azula and Zuko. The sound effects were quiet under the music, it was a really nice scene (or two or three)

One more to go, back in 20! ( and back! )

I dunno, I guess I was feeling like the series was being rushed, or something, but when it's all said and done, it was pretty well-paced. I enjoyed it a lot. :)
