Happy Birthday, kathih!!!!

Also, happy 4th to everyone who celebrates it :)

tzikeh has posted a second part of her netspeak poll :)

So Blogathon isn't running this year, but someone has organized Day of Blogs to supplement it. I found out about the Blogathon too late to participate last year and was looking forward to participating this year, so I'm definitely going to plan on staying home and blogging on July 26th.

I just need to decide what charity I want to blog for and solicit donations. I'm leaning towards either breast cancer research (for my gram) or autism awareness (for my cousin).

*ponder ponder*

It is More Joy Day

What can I do to bring a little more joy to your life today?

Happy Birthday, timjr!!!!!

Even when we have our spats, you're still one of the most awesome people I've had the privilege of calling 'roomie'!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday :)

Link spotted on azarsuerte's journal.

New Southwest Airlines policy - As summer vacations begin, some passengers on Southwest Airlines will be pulled aside and, because of their weight, asked to buy a second ticket.

FAILTASTIC, Southwest.

And also a big hearty EFF YOU to the 58% of people who voted that this is a good policy.

See what I did there?

tzikeh wants to know what internet vernacular has become part of your every day vocabulary.

I remember doing this ages ago. It was fun :)

I post the first lines from 25 of my stories. You use those first lines to write a new drabble.

( My first lines )

I'm gonna poke around and try to write some drabbles this weekend, so if you posted this, please link me? :)

My back is being stupid. I need another massage.

And I'm tired and cranky.

Is it my long weekend yet?

I'm soooooo tired.

I did nothing productive this weekend - slept a lot - and I'm still totally wiped today.

Plus I have a crapton of work to catch up on since we had no network on Friday and I couldn't do anything.

Funny aside - I was in the middle of typing this entry when the network went down again. Yay for 'restore draft'!

Anyway - I don't have anything important or interesting to say. Just whining about how tired and lazy I am.

I have to do laundry tonight. And do some cleaning since nofate301 is coming to visit this weekend. I also need to re-watch some West Wing eps so I can write my fic for oldschoolfic since it's due this weekend.

I had so many plans for cleaning and writing and stuff this weekend.

So far, I have accomplished absolutely none of them. I've been completely exhausted and lazy.

I actually have a couple of posts I want to write that are about interesting (or what I think is interesting) stuff, but I don't have the mental capacity for that today.

How's everyone else this weekend?

Some idiot in the Supernatural fandom wants to put together a book of the 'best' fanfic, fanart, etc and send it to the show's creators/actors to read after the show has ended its run.

Oh, but you can opt out if you don't want your work included.

There are (so far) six pages of comments telling her what a monumentally stupid idea this is.


[Thanks to medie for the tip-off on this one.]

If we mysteriously disappear, it's because our X-Box 360 is sentient and has killed us in some bizarre AI experiment.

We were playing a 3 song random set list on Rock Band. The second song was "Good Times Roll" by The Cars. Which repeats "Let the good times roll" a lot.

I made a joke that The Cars clearly took songwriting lessons from The Police (who have never-ending repeating refrains in the vast majority of their songs). timjr goes "Sending out a good times roll."

The next (and final) song on the setlist? Was "Message in a Bottle" by The Police. Which repeats the phrase "Sending out an S.O.S." repeatedly and was the song that Tim referenced moments earlier.

Thus, our X-Box 360 is clearly sentient and plans to kill us all.

We're having massive network issues today. Can't access our work programs at all. The net is running really slooooooooooow.

I have so much to do today.

*cries*

[20:24] ladybug218: For all the 'sekrit twin' stuff with you & rhi_silverflame... I sometimes think you & I are more alike
[20:25] kajivar: It's very strange -- rhi_silverflame and I are a lot alike, you and I are a lot alike, but you and rhi_silverflame aren't alike.
[20:25] kajivar: So apparently I am essentially a ladybug218 & rhi_silverflame lovechild or something. ;)
