(no subject)
It's been more than two months since I posted to Livejournal, which is an unforgivable crime. Twitter really shouldn't replace long-form writing in my life. I know that I have my website and all, but sometimes it's nice to have somewhere where I can talk about real-life stuff.
I'm at home right now because, sometime last week, I pulled a muscle in my neck, and the effects have been getting worse and worse since then. I woke up this morning and could barely move and wasn't really able to turn my head without pain. So I'm taking a day off to be filled with non-exertion (luckily moving my fingers is one thing that doesn't hurt). Also, the meds I took made me sleep until almost 11am, ugh.
Halloween was full of fun this year. MAS-o-ween was good and I once again won the costume prize with my own creativity and last-minute ghetto skill. Saturday I went to a party that would have been fun if it weren't populated by a couple of noisy stupid women. This does not imply that all women are noisy and stupid, just that these two in particular were. They're the type who think parodies of popular songs are SUPER FUCKING FUNNY and will sing them and all the "clever" lyrics multiple times, but replace the parody with the actual song and suddenly its loathsome (news flash: this is really bogus). I ended up going to sleep for about an hour until they left. We did watch Zombieland, though, which is always fun (although I'm really done with zombies as a meme - when there are people there discussing logics of a zombie apocalypse it's like I wish it would just happen so I didn't have to listen to them anymore). Sunday was the best because I got to celebrate Halloween/Samhain with a ritual of my own design. Maybe more on that some other time, but anyway it was fun.
Now I suppose most retail establishments are gearing up for Christmas. While sometimes the push for the holiday season gets really annoying (Target putting out holiday light sets back in September was a bit too much) I'm not gonna lie; I really like this time of year. Though I won't really feel much in the holiday spirit until it actually snows. It snowed once last week sometime but I'm not counting that because it was wet and didn't accumulate. I like it when it snows and it's also cloudy, because I live close to the city and there's a comforting orange glow from the city lights and street lights reflecting off of the snow and the sky. Love it.
Anyway, now I'm going to try and hobble over to my polling place (thank goodness it's at a church about a block away from my house) so that's it for now.
