update, links, and a meme

Jun 29, 2009 12:12

I have been working pretty steadily all morning. I did hop on and I was intending to catch up on my flist but I got distracted by a clicky. It's a blog written by a man with true life accounts of Psychotic Letters from Men. I'm certainly not a man hater by any stretch of the imagination but (or perhaps because of) I've run into my far share of crazy while dating and even when I'm not.

Saturday, I went out with mom. I went to the bookstore and bought How to Survive a Horror Movie. I read it while getting a pedicure which earned me some interesting looks since I was cackling. Then we bought some video games, The Dark Knight on dvd and groceries.

Saturday night, mom started playing Infinite Undiscovery. When I got up on Sunday, I created my game.

I stayed up far too late last night. It was almost 11 when I turned off the game and then I had to watch last night's episode of True Blood. So tired today.

Twilight tie-ins are everywhere but this is one that I actually bought. Of course, I actually use Lip Venom so, its not a huge stretch or anything. Lip venom with a crimson stain. So bought it. Lip Venom V
