Man. Was it really 8 days ago that I was last able to sit down and pay attention to something long enough to make an LJ post? I stopped shipping tweets a while ago because it became the opposite of easy when I felt like I had to tweet more, or at least tweet more interesting things, or delete extraneous posts. An unintended side effect was that I ( Read more... )

Friday night The Boy came over and talked to me while I did dishes, put away laundry, then we shared a bottle of wine and watched a movie. Nobody tell him but quietly being domestic is the secret way to my heart. I also managed to badger him into agreeing to go skating with me some time. <3 ( Read more... )

Insomnia: It lead that one guy to develop a split personality that looked like Brad Pitt, start a cult, and take down the American credit system ( Read more... )

A quick question before I begin nattering about my vacation again: Would anyone in skating fandom give me a tutorial about the anon kinkmeme? I want to post another part to my WIP and possibly start a REALLY REALLY RIDICULOUS AU fill, but now I don't know where to post things to. Do I do it to winterkinkmeme or skatingkink? Are the politics ( Read more... )

A vacation that I don't feel as if I'll have to take a vacation from when I get home. Basically, my main goal will be to be a complete and utter hermit on Sunday night, see the Boy and pick up my car some point on Monday, and then a little more hermit-dom. Then Tuesday (exactly a WEEK LATER) I will go back to work, actually rested ( Read more... )

I bought a car. (2009 Kia Rio with 18k miles still under warranty and at a very good price. It's not a cool fun car by any stretch of the imagination but it's sturdy, gently used, and it GOES places. Unexpectedly sweet radio for some reason. IDK!)

I sold my poor little Suzuki. (Augh, my poor car. Why didn't I treat it better? Andrea! I'm sorry! ( Read more... )

So those of you might have an idea that things got a little crazy on Friday. I meant to post an update about it, but I just couldn't work up the energy. To really properly explain everything I would spend the next 45 minutes typing up a summary/timeline and even then I'm not really sure I'd get the full context across ( Read more... )

Friday: Went out with my co-workers to Happy Hour which turned out to be a little bit of an Unhappy Hour as we all bitched endlessly about the current state of our jobs. It was at once therapeutic and deeply depressing. I left after to go see jennerose and she and I consumed a little more than a bottle of wine each, did drunken balance exercises, and cried ( Read more... )

On the same day I decide to sink some real money into my new hobby/form of exercise the JoBros remind me that I used to love spending money on them, too. I've no doubt that I will be seeing them and loving them, but right now I'm very whelmed about it.

What am I spending my money on? Besides wine? Let me tell you.
