As of today, I have had my LJ for ten years. This entry will make 2,680... an average of 3/4s of a post per day, but not so many of them recently, alas. (Clearly I used to be much chattier.) I thought I'd have something profound or at least entertaining to say, but I kinda don't. *tilts head* It is what it is ( Read more... )

(Not me, mind you, at least not intentionally and not yet *knocks wood*)

I didn't recognize her name but she's pretty good!

That's ice from Tuesday morning, it's been too cold here for any of the side streets to melt. And then we got a dusting of snow on top of it this morning, yay. Clearly this is not Chicago or Boston or NYC weather, but holy ( Read more... )

Thanks to talitha78, tsuki_no_bara and poisontaster for cards, gifties, and virtual gifties :D Donovan de-wrapped all his presents in approximately .5 seconds, his "Drinking Lucky Bird" has been doing its thing on the kitchen counter ever since (Science! It works, bitches.), and I'm trying to gently ignore the three separate board games spread across the living room floor while I ( Read more... )

So far this has been a pretty mixed day. I mean... there's stuff, and then there's THE REPEAL OF DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL, OMFG! I watched the vote on CSPAN2 and lemme tell ya, that is some dry teevee watching right there. The gallery was reminded that expressions of approval or disapproval are "not in order" before the result was read out, which ( Read more... )

*hums* Next time (or any time, really) I say something like, "Wow, the office holiday lunch is on my birthday, that'll be awesome!" do me a favor? Shoot me in the headOkay, it wasn't that bad. Just. I am not a highly social person, yeah? And also, I do not plan ahead. Which is why, instead of arriving in a group of people-I-want-to-have-lunch with ( Read more... )

Yeah, you read that right. Crazy-ass weather ( Read more... )

I've got plenty to be thankful for, but I'm sadly short on eloquence. You guys rock my socks and fill my heart on a daily basis, and I got to meet a whole bunch of you this year and that is beyond awesome. This year saw fewer health issues *knocks wood* and more writing (yay!) and overall, life is pretty freakin' good ( Read more... )
