So yeah, so I have Twitter now. If you feel like following me, I'm LCGSTG.

My local friends and I all currently live at home pending upcoming successes (one is apartment hunting, one is job-hunting, and I'm saving up for the wedding).

I'm looking for recommendations of inexpensive things to do at night that don't involve hanging out with or waking up the parents. Beer and greasy food only go so far.

B: So I think soldiers are actually the world’s oldest profession.
Me: Older than hookers?
B: No, you’re right. The soldiers were fighting over the hookers.

So, it's just about time to start plotting for NaNoWriMo. Now, I'm not even 100% sure I'm going to do it, but if I do, here are my ideas. Yes, they are fairly stupid. I'll be screening my comments, so please vote for which one you like best ( Read more... )

I love my ring, and I wanted to do something equally amazing for him. We looked at rings, but he couldn't get excited about that. He suggested a watch, but I got him a watch for our first anniversary -- besides, a really nice watch doesn't so much say, "Hey, I'm spoken for," so much as it says, "I'm rich, hit on me." But any other ideas either ( Read more... )
