omg I'm alive
Hi LJ! *waves* I seem to have fallen off the face of LJ earth. I am sorry about that! Would you like some excuses? They are shiny ones.
i. School. Apparently, the fact that some of us are seniors has not escaped my professors' attentions, and so they are trying to WEED US OUT and possibly exterminate us like roaches via extensive work. So many papers, test, projects, and there's still a week left and finals. IT HURTS MY HEAD.
ii. I have managed to slide ever so nicely into a shiny new fandom and have been writing and writing and writing (and writing) and therefore have not been posting because of the aforementioned writing.
I'm really sorry for being a terrible LJ friend and not commenting. I have been reading, honest, and I will probably go back and comment. Pls dun't hate meh.
I come back bearing gifts! Well, sort of. Does anyone on the flist want free Netflix for a month? Roommate J and I subscribe to it, for we do not have cable and movies are our source of t.v. fun. Every so often Netflix sends us codes for "Family and friends!" so they, too, can experience the joy of the 'flix. It's a free one month trial and a little code you put in for that. *shrugs* I don't know anyone who wants them, so I offer them to you! There are four.
Does anyone want a Dreamwidth invite code? I only have one of those to give away, but it is there for the taking. Just let me know, first come first serve.
I also come bearing crossed fingers that the elections going on tomorrow across the pond go well.
And, finally, what would a crawling-back-to-LJ entry be without a meme?
Where you grew up: The middle of nowhere, with cornfields, a blinking light, a store that sold twenty-five cent ice cream pops, and railroad tracks.
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks: A creek (depending on the accent of those around here, also a 'crick') or a brook.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called: A cart or a shopping cart.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in: A lunchbox, but they're not usually metal. I guess if you're Tough.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in: You mean the thing you cook me bacon and eggs in.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people: Is there something that's specifically for three people? Otherwise, couch/sofa/futon.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof: Gnome.
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: Porch.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: Soda.
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: Waffle, pancake, or, my favorite, FRENCH TOAST.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: A sub, I suppose.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: Trunks or shorts.
12. Shoes worn for sports: Tennis shoes. Even if they're not for tennis. Yes, I know. It confuses me too.
13. Putting a room in order: Usually called "Are you feeling okay?"
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark: Lightning bug! Sometimes fireflies, but not usually.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball: A roly poly!
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down: See-saw. Also you should get off while the other person is in the air. Hehehe.
17. How do you eat your pizza: From the pointy part up. Cut it if it's hot.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff: A yard sale.
19. What's the evening meal?: Dinner or supper, interchangeably.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are: A basement.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places: A water bottle.
You guys, I graduate in a couple of weeks. WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHAT IS THIS. They have decided I have learned all I need to know to be an English major with a side of History. I DON'T THINK I HAVE. THERE IS SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW. I'm going a little spastic about it. In good ways, mostly.
