Last Thursday marked 26 years on this planet for me. I spent the day hiding from the world at my boyfriend's house. Birthdays seem to make me more anti-social than I normally am, so I've taken to disappearing on the day of my birthday if I can. drwho4 had to work, so I was left alone to hide until he got home around five, then we went out for dinner and ( Read more... )

Some memes need to be revisited from time to time. Go check out all the awesome artwork that came up when Dean Tripp convinced everyone to draw Stephanie Brown.

I have to admit that I haven't actually had the chance to read any of the Batman comics with Stephanie in 'em, but I want to. Everything I've heard about her makes her sound awesome, and ( Read more... )

I suspect that part of the way I manage to be so emotionally divested in life, and don't mistake this for a lack of anger and passion, just a lack of attachment, is that I throw so much of my emotion into my writing when I can corner the muse and get her to sing for me. Right now I'm working through a difficult part in Diziara's life, what ( Read more... )

So, since I started going to game night on Fridays regularly, I have come to know a guy named Chris who is a rules lawyer, likes to do things like make people lose The Game, and other such things that usually requires tribbles thrown at his head. All that said, he is usually an amusing guy to game with, even if occasionally he tests our patience, ( Read more... )

So, those of you who expressed concern when I posted my bitchy entry via text message about the lack of live Linux CDs (all one of you) can rest assured that the problem has been fixed. I determined it was an error occurs between keyboard and chair issue. Once I finally started thinking, and taking my time in getting things done, problems ( Read more... )

So the dorkiest awesome thing has had me bouncy for the last couple days. Diziara, my Klingon-Trill red-headed lunatic Star Trek RPG character, the one who I tell people represents my ID, finally got promoted to a full Lieutenant. I created this character back in high school for an RPG a friend of mine was creating, and I made her as a Lieutenant ( Read more... )

From time to time, people comment on my frequent negativity. It gets a little frustrating when I seem to encounter so many things that hold me back for no good reason I can see, and sometimes I forget to focus on the good things instead. This especially slapped me across the face when at work, Paul mentioned it after I'd commented on the flatbed ( Read more... )

So, by way of snooping through the user profile of this guy from this shiny band I recently found out about (daniel_ap and Abney Park respectively), I came across steamfashion which I've added to my communities friend page filter and started skimming back through the recent posts.

So, how much of a dork does it make me that the first thought I had, upon seeing that ( Read more... )

Okay, am I the only geek in existance who wants a 24-hour clock in her panels on KDE 4 and can't get one? I google for "kde4 clock widget" all I get is forum and blog posts whining that they don't know how to make the digital clock widget display in 12-hour format. I like the 24-hour format, I hate having to see a stupid extra two letters in my ( Read more... )

So, way back in high school while looking into the SAT crap (scored a 1300, no studying, when the test still scored out of 1600) I signed up for the A Word A Day mailing list. Over the years since I subscribed, this list has at times made me giggle, made me grin, and sometimes even drove me to hunt down literature I hadn't had the chance to read ( Read more... )
