1. HAPPY SIMON PEGG'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!  I know for some of you, this day has some other significance, possibly influenced by the marketing schemes of jewelers, but I see differently!  And not just because I hate Valentine's Day!  Really!  I hated ( Read more... )

1. Of those fanfiction stories you re-read (because we all have them, hell, I've got a stack printed out in expanded folders), do you ever let the authors know you do that?  Have you ever gone back after a year or five and let an author know you're still re-reading that one story?

2. Do you ever re-read your own stories?  Not to cringe and say, "WTF ( Read more... )

So many awesome things happened today, I cannot contain how hyper I am from experiencing them all.  Seriously.  Today was one of those days I am grateful to be living in this world, in this place, with these people.  I just want to run around screaming, "I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive!"  I want to hug people and tell strangers I love them.  I want ( Read more... )

I will not beat myself up for the time spent reading dueSouth fanfiction ( Read more... )

For those of you stuck in snow and nor'easters and the like, it's been so freaking gorgeous here, I'm sure that has contributed to my lack of general melancholy for the past few days.  Bright, sunny days, the temp hovering just around the low 70's, chilly nights.  BRACING!  I love it ( Read more... )

Had a really weird dream last night where I was given some sort of aptitude test that showed I had a slightly higher than normal ability to predict sudden weather changes. For some reason this caused my life to be threatened, with shadowy mysterious phone calls, unexplainable weather phenomena, and someone trying to run my car off a ramp in a ( Read more... )

I was wandering through the bookstore, as you do, and came across one of those displays that we hated when I worked in bookstores.  You know, the ones that delicately block aisles and usually have James Patterson books in them?  This one caught my eye, hidden, as it was barely peeking out from behind a post, because one of the books had a bunch of ( Read more... )

I've decided not to attempt to figure out what it means that I have 8 icons of characters smoking.  I have too much to figure out about myself as it is.

So tell me, flist rockers, tell me what it means that I am drawn to icons of people or characters smoking.  Bonus points if you can explain why I prefer the ones where you can see the smoke.
