i saw this on chemm80's lj and thought it was a neat idea. also, it's a pay it forward meme, so i should, you know, pay it forward. :D the first six people to comment will receive a surprise from me at some point in 2017 - anything from a book, a picture, a nifty thing, something homemade, a postcard, whatever! there's no telling when it might show up ( Read more... )

yesterday was my first non-vacation day in a week and a half, and i have to say, reentry wasn't terrible. i had work to do but wasn't drowning in it (i was kind of concerned my inbox would be nuts, but it wasn't), a few people asked how my vacation was which meant i got to tell them about my mom flushing her car keys and the guy from the garage-or ( Read more... )

happy birthday to shivering_lance who has the dubious distinction of being the person on lj i've known the longest, and to ignipes who has the dubious distinction of being the only "there's a boy in a cage, otherwise it wouldn't be mine" writer i can think of. altho i don't know if that's really all that dubious, considering the company she's in.... anyway. cheers to ( Read more... )

saturday it snowed a lot and i went to new york to hang out with crotalus_atrox. it snowed almost the whole way down and the bus was an hour late. >.< and then sandra and i went to a fabulous japanese brasserie for brunch and i had tofu and actually liked it. (possibly because for the first time ever, it tasted like something! it tasted like edamame.) we ( Read more... )
