I am planning to go back to Massachusetts sometime very soon. My mom is not doing so hot, and I think she needs to see that I am ok. But I would also like to see my New England-based friends if possible. I haven't been home, for a good reason, in over a year. I am not super thrilled about coming in winter, since the weather is so unpredictable ( Read more... )

I leave for Dragon*Con in less than 48 hours. I have approximately 25 billion things I need to do before then. I work both today and tomorrow, so I have to shove any shopping and whatnot into my non-working hours. I have not been very good about that of late. The suitcase is still in the attic. I still have laundry to do. I don't think I have ( Read more... )

I am off to the HP midnight party at Barnes and Noble in a little bit with xwillowelfx, just like I did for books 5 and 6. I am excited/nervous/almost dreading the book. I know I will cry. Doesn't matter what happens, it is almost guaranteed. I have meticulously stayed away from spoilers, even changing the radio channel if the words "Harry Potter" were so ( Read more... )

I really, really have to stop using shift-delete when I delete things.  I was trying to clean up my mp3 player, since I have like quadruple of some files, a bunch with "unknown" as a name and nothing else, and the most disorganized file structure since my old computer.  I got some of the duplicates out of the way, and was about to erase a file I ( Read more... )

My internet is back!!!  Yay!!!  The tech didn't even have to come out.  I played with the modem, redid all the plugs, and it came back...for a second.  Then it was gone again.  Such torture.  Then I reredid all the plugs, and it came back, and it seems to be here to stay.  What a relief.  I hate being unconnected, unless I am on vacation or ( Read more... )

( I don't know if I am going to be able to get this all out. )

I know it is little outdated but some of it is really accurate.

You Know You're From Massachusetts When...

The person driving in front of you is going 70 mph and you are cursing him for going too slow ( Read more... )

I finally got to call talk to Mel. Everyone is right, she does have the cutest accent, although she must be sick to death of hearing that by now. I tricked my cell into calling overseas using a calling card. We will see next month if I tricked it or it tricked me when I get the bill. But so far, so good. We could only talk for like 20 minutes ( Read more... )

Locard's Advocates are the best. It is great to finally get to put voices to the names. At least most of them. I am still waiting to hear from Morgan and Mel (although, I do understand Australia is a little far away to just call and say "Ooh, what a cute accent! Bye.") We really must have more phone/chats. Confusing, but wicked fun ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone will ever read this but I thought I might as well give it a try. The bravery to put this out there may have come from the really well worded (in my opinion) comment I just made in defense of a fic that I really like. Or it could be that I am so tired that I don't know what the hell I am doing ( Read more... )
