I didn't do anything for Halloween last year or the year before. In '08 I dressed up as a schoolgirl who got hit my a truck or something, and it was fun wearing the costume to all my classes (well, besides the fact that my shoes were trying to kill me). I made the costume myself, using some cheap clothes, fake blood, coffee, and balsamic vinegar ( ( Read more... )

Ugh, my neighbors' dogs. They have these Pekingese/Shih Tzu things and they're annoying little snots. I have to keep an eye on our bulldog when we let her outside, 'cause I don't want her going after them when they come over here. They'll just walk across the road and into our yard like they own the place, leaving little "presents" for us to find. ( Read more... )

I just noticed that all of the stuff I'm eating right now is about the same color. I made some hummus, which is this orangey-brown color, the chips are an orangey-brown color, and the tea I'm drinking is a light orangey-brown color. Even the plate has a light brown design around the edge. Hm. Weird.

Peace y'all!

When will I learn to stop drinking coffee? I'll have an occasional cup every now and then, so my body is not used to caffeine (and it doesn't help that I like it strong). Whenever I have some, unless it's a weak cup when I'm sleepy, I always get the jitters. For instance, right now my hands are all trembly and my stomach's all fluttery. I usually ( Read more... )

Yeah, that fic for queer_fest just isn't working. I'm not going to be able to post it today, since everything I try to write is just... awkward. I feel like it's more show instead of tell, you know? Plus, I really want to write something good for this character (see icon), since she is awesome. I have a few things started for a few different prompts, but ( Read more... )

FINALLY!

Gay Marriage Approved by N.Y. Senate

It's nice to see my state get something right for a change, and what a something it is :D

Peace, y'all!

Tutoring! Online tutoring! I just figured out a job that I can at least start considering. Sure, it wouldn't pay a whole lot, but it's a start, right? Even having an extra hundred or so dollars a month would be a relief. It seems like a great job to star off with: work from home, flexible hours, getting to actually use my English education... I'm ( Read more... )

( There are ants in my house. (Cut for talk of, well, ants.) )

I know I said I was happy when it stopped snowing, but I didn't want it to get all hot and humid! Our air conditioner is broken, too (the poor thing fell out of the window one too many times), so there goes that small relief. And there's supposed to be a high of 92° tomorrow! What. The pets mostly just lay around, and who can blame them? New goal: ( Read more... )
