Randomness Ahead

May 07, 2011 20:15

#1: I love summer. There is nothing better than sitting outside in the sun in only a short dress and with an iced coffee in front of you. Nothing. I approve of summer arriving early this year. So very hard.

#2: I owe people e-mails and comment replies, I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me! I had ambitious plans of catching up this weekend, but then I ( Read more... )

cracky bunnies love me, h50, random stuff

Re: #9 I want to read them! :D :D

Also, wow, I've only been a vegetarian for a couple of years but I've yet to really have anyone taunt me about it.

I wish, I really really wish, summer would arrive in Portland, OR. Sigh.

#9: Hee, that's a second vote in favor, then. At least I won't be writing that stuff solely for myself. (Although even then, I might do that anyway.)

It's not in a mean way, you know? Just... people who think it's a funny joke. Which, um. Maybe it was not-too-bad the first time, but the second, it already grew a beard and seriously, I've heard it in so many variations, seen it, jokingly putting the pan with meat right in front of me only to apologize, that sort of thing. *sighs* Hey, I'm not telling you not to eat meat, so can we just... treat it like a non-issue?

Ah, sorry. It is really getting so old I find it hard to drudge up even a tired smile.

Oh, I hope for you it won't be long anymore! When's typically the first time you can leave the house in a t-shirt?

trinaest May 7 2011, 22:08:52 UTC

Technically I left the house in a t-shirt today...with a little short-sleeved sweater? So I guess not quite JUST a t-shirt. Haha. It was ever so slightly on the chilly side. The temperature is, thankfully, beginning to warm, but I don't expect it to stop raining for another couple of months. That's the part that really sucks.

The people at my office are surprisingly pretty awesome about my vegetarianism. We have one vegan person, so she's even pickier. LOL

Smooth Dog? Ahahaha, no. It is clearly an ironic nickname.

#7 is only toppped by cherry time, which sadly is so much shorter than strawberry time :(

zarah5 May 7 2011, 21:04:32 UTC

Hmm, actually, now that I think about it... What about blueberry time? I could spend my days eating nothing but blueberries. Also, blue tongue!

liz_mo May 7 2011, 21:13:13 UTC

WHile I do love blueberries in cake and marmelade, cherries it is for me. 1,5 kg for dinner *yumm*

Hrm, well, I guess I don't share your enthusiasm - they're fine, but that's it. Plucking them is fun, though!

Also, you can do this with them, admittedly pretty awesome:

1. SUMMER. We had a weirdweirdweird cold snap last week, but it looks like it's nice and sunny again! Hopefully it will stay that way.
3. Hah. I've been a pescatarian for a little over four years now! Or something like that. Not entirely sure how long. But I've been thinking more and more about going full veggie. I'd really love to go vegan (or at least give up dairy) but it's hard.
5. At the speed you write, I don't think you'd be unable to catch up! Obviously this means you should start it right now, though! RIGHT THIS MOMENT. /greedy *g*
7. THERE ARE STRAWBERRIES IN MY FRIDGE BUT I THINK MY FATHER BOUGHT THEM FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC. But I really want to sneak a feeeew.
8. I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoy it a lot. There is one terrible song, about how Brendon's spider died and that made him sad. It's bizarre. The rest of the songs are catchy and pop-y and fun. The b-sides are also quite good.

Summer! It was the same here, actually - too warm for April, then a short, weird cold spell and then it got warm again very quickly. I imagine this might be a problem for plants, but it is not a problem for me ( ... )

Re: sorry for the html fail! justhush May 7 2011, 21:31:42 UTC

3. When I stopped eating meat, I thought it would be hard, but I only VERY rarely crave it, and usually I crave it in more of a, "ANY SORT OF FOOD SOUNDS GOOD, PLEASE FEED ME NOW," kinda of way, rather than a specific, "I want bacon!" kind of way.

5. Ah, too bad. Well, there are other challenges in the sea, ect ect ect. I will wait impatiently.

7. Exactly!

8. Maybe! I don't know if it's a step back--in any case, that implies they're starting from somewhere. And while in a way they are, obviously, I kind of think of it as a totally new band. They're still settling into the new dynamics. It's not a natural progression from their last album because they're not the same band as their last album. It sounds to me like they're just having fun, trying new things, all of that, which I can appreciate. Sometimes it doesn't work (there was one very cringe-worthy short film/music video thing I could barely watch!) and sometimes it really, really does (the song "Hurricane" on the album is one of my favorites songs period in a LONG time ( ... )

I agree that summer is a very lovely time of the year, but I can't abide humidity. 86 degrees with a slight breeze and zero humidity sounds absolutely perfect :)

And I know that I would LOVE to hear Agent Steve's POV on his and Danny's relationship, especially when Matt and Grace are around.

zarah5 May 7 2011, 21:17:38 UTC

Well, it depends; I love summer rains, but when it's just so humid everything is sticky and a bit disgusting, yeah, not so much. I see your point!

I was thinking that Steve sneakily tries to find a way to make Matt and Grace stay on the island, without Danny noticing his scheming. Steve would think it would mean Danny being more permanently tied to Hawaii (because Steve has issues, naturally).
