There is something incredibly annoying and incredibly creepy about coming home to find that some workman your landlady hired has been in your place without any notice, moved your shit around gotten plaster dust on all your clean clothes, broken stuff, and thrown away his debris in your recycling bin. An act like that can only be followed by ( Read more... )

Today when I stopped for lunch, a teenaged girl brought it to me, and when she saw my work I.D., she asked me about my job. She said it was her lifelong dream to do what I do. I was shocked! No one's ever said that to me! So I told her what sort of education was needed, and she was...totally into it. It was amazing. Her granny told her not to ( Read more... )

So, my own little idiosyncratic behaviours include some doozies, as those of you who know me are well aware. One of the biggest ones is that I get on "kicks" for things. This is a cute and kind way that people close to me have of saying that I get fixated on things to a maddening degree. The most common culprit is music. If poor D is lucky, it' ( Read more... )

checking my email, and there was a stupid advertisement there in the side area. You all know the sort, I'm sure. But this one freaked me out because of the shopped photo they used. I mean, I thought at first that it was supposed to be a plastic-surgery-gone-terribly-wrong PSA or something. But NO! It is a look-how-faboo-you'd-look-with-our- ( Read more... )

D and I were all ready with our sparkling beverages, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Unfortunately, we missed midnight by a few minutes due to a high speed car chase circling our block several times, complete with SIX police cars and gunshots fired. We really need to move to a smaller town. Heh.

Today is a great day! Elladan got something at Le Target that he has been wanting for years. Possibly he has been wanting it for decades. I'm not sure they've had them for centuries, or he'd have been wanting one for that long, as well. It has got clouds on. It is made of impossibly soft fleece. It is warm and snuggly. It is pod-compliant. ( Read more... )

sylvie_the_elf! Look at this!

rebeccasama sent it to me, and I must say that it looks a bit worrying. Heh.

EDIT: Anyone who has a major fish phobia probably ought not click on the link and look. (I'm looking at you, Petal!) I accidentally gave Sylvie nightmares, I think. D'oh!

( Dear Elrohir: )

Ever feel like your heart is just bursting with love and it's not doing you any damn good? Love. No, seriously. LOVE! LOVE, I say!

Now I just wish my fever would break.

Mmm...warm fever.

Delirium.

LOVE!

Okay, I hate the kind of dreams that do weird crap to one's waking experience. I had one a couple of weeks ago that someone who's been dead for 9 goddamn years wasn't dead at all, that I'd just dreamed the person was dead. Urr. So that was a big ol' mess when I woke up and they were still dead. Takes you a little while to adjust, there. And ( Read more... )
