Sorry to abandon you, my darling LiveJournal, but Facebook is such a tramp with its rapid-fire status updates and FarmVille, but I was thinking of you the whole time. I swear ( Read more... )

I'm a little annoyed right now. For the past week I have had this large, painful blemish on my face, right next to my nose. It's been driving me crazy. Now it's shrinking and no longer hurts and you'd think I'd be relieved by this...and part of me is because, ya know, OWIES, but there's a bizarre part of me that's been totally let down by the fact ( Read more... )

My body clock is totally set to a time zone that is well behind the East Coast. Actually, I'm probably just on the other side of the International Date Line and it's already tomorrow. It's like I'm in the future! OMG...I'm Dr. Who! But which one? I've never ever seen a single episode of that program, but I reckon I'd be the one who was played by ( Read more... )

Had me kind of a geeky afternoon/evening. I watched both The X-Files: I Want to Believe and The Dark Knight. Both not unenjoyable. It was good to see the focus back on Mulder and Scully. The last few seasons of the show without David Duchovny kinda stunk...and by "kinda" I mean "a lot". And why is it always the Russians, Chris Carter? Oh yeah, and ( Read more... )

I do this all the time. I'm cold, but do I turn up the heat? No. Why? Because, for the first 18+ years of my life I was trained to NEVER! TOUCH! THE! THERMOSTAT! Then, when Momma D could afford to use the oil for something other than hot water for showers, we were allowed to nudge the dial up a few notches when our teeth got chattery, but we could ( Read more... )

For some reason we forgot to sign up for caller ID when we switched from Verizon to Cox. It's not that I never realized how much I relied on it every time the dastardly phone rang, I just never realized how bloody annoying it would be to not have the convenience. I miss my team of caller ID/answering machine when I screen phone calls. I like to ( Read more... )

I fear that I am turning into one of those people who can't tolerate certain smells. Smoke used to not bother me (and after YEARS you'd think I'd be used to it) and now it makes me choke and I can't stand it most of the time. I stuck it out tonight because my brother's home and we were all sitting at the table having a chat and I didn't want to be ( Read more... )

My old laundry bags have finally bitten the dust. They were made of mesh and were highly snaggable and after so many years and so many trips up and down the stairs (especially since I usually just roll them down the stairs ahead of me instead of carrying them) I just had to give up my feeble attempts at mending them and buy two new ones. Does it ( Read more... )

It often happens that when someone finds out that I'm an English major (yeah, I'm not currently in school, but English majorism is in my heart and soul...for reals) they immediately start grilling me for literary suggestions. I usually handle these situations with good humor, but really, it's stressful. I read weird, random things sometimes. I ( Read more... )
