And I seriously wouldn't have remembered it (or even thought about it) if LJ didn't decide to send me a virtual gift to celebrate this journal's seventeenth anniversary today. It was sorta funny, the email I received read: "you've received a new virtual gift on your livejournal!" and my first thought was, "Wait, they're still doing those?" Then I ( Read more... )

First of all, let me warn you about this post. It might get long, it will surely be full of ramblings, and it might be of no interest to anyone myself included. I’m not even sure why it’s getting written and, given that I’m typing this on a Word doc at the moment, it might end up not being posted at all (and this part might also end up being cut so ( Read more... )

"Men choose Hamlet because every man sees himself as a disinherited monarch. Women choose Alice [in Wonderland] because every woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who think they are disinherited monarchs." - Adam Gopnik

Too good not to share ;) Hope everyone's well around here.

Been a while since I posted something and today I am in a chatty mood so here I am. Just to warn you, this might turn out to be a totally random post with no point whatsoever... maybe I should have said I'm in a rambling mood.. lol ( Read more... )

It is amusing to be watching a talk show on TV with my dad when the host asks people what they would do if they came home one day to find their significant other in bed with a person of the same sex, and dad thinks it's perfectly okay to turn to me and ask, "What do you think you'd do?" It's amusing mostly because I can't well come out and say, "I' ( Read more... )

Witchcraft, there's no other way. Where the hell does time go? In a couple of weeks my sister will be celebrating her seventh wedding anniversary... *seventh*! I still remember when we were going around looking for her wedding dress! You know when you're a kid and you can't wait to be 18 y.o. and people keep telling you that once you're an adult ( Read more... )

The subject line *points to it* is a reference to a line said in an episode of "The Walking Dead" that always has me either laughing like an idiot for the way the character says it, or sighing with nostalgia because that line was said in what is still my favorite season of the show. Anyway, other than being fitting for this post which will be a ( Read more... )

I just realized that I don't use the tags on Tumblr the same way I do with LJ. The tags on LJ are a useful tool that I need to go back and find things I posted in the past. On Tumblr, otoh, I just talk and talk and talk for ages not in the actual post I reblog, but in the tags. No idea why I do that but it became apparent when I wanted to play the ( Read more... )

First of all let me say one thing: Went to report an annoying issue to LJ's support page but it looks like they've already been notified about it. Not that they're doing much to fix it for now, though. Have you noticed too how it's almost impossible to post a comment with an icon that's not the default one? So damn annoying! And then, if I edit the ( Read more... )

We've had the craziest summer ever here in Italy. July was the coldest it'd been in 50 years (and I LOVED it to bits *g*) and August is alternating days when the heat is so unbearable I want to die (today being one of them, unfortunately,) to days when the weather feels more like Springtime weather than anything else. And this just in the lower ( Read more... )
