Dear Arizona:

I moved here not only for the sunshine but for the warm weather. There's a reason that transplants to Arizona are called Snow Birds. We're FLEEING the snow. We left our winter coats in remote far-off possibly snow covered places like Pennsylvania to be able to crow on about how warm we are while the rest of the country freezes under a mantle of white powder (and I'm not talking cocaine).

The fact that I got stuck driving in it yesterday pisses me off and makes me want to sue for false advertising. I don't give a shit that it was rain when it hit the ground. On my windshield, it was still snowflake-shaped.

In conclusion, fuck you, Arizona. Fuck you and your promises of sunny weather and no snow.

No love,
wook

That's right... there were wet drippy and disgusting SNOWFLAKES hitting my windshield yesterday afternoon! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!! *kicks Arizona*

So, since today was supposed to be super cold too, I pulled out a pair of cordoroys I haven't been able to fit into for almost 2 years. I looked at them longingly, almost put them back in the drawer of doom but then decided I should try them on. Not only did I get them closed, they fit comfortably! They're also SIZE 10s!!!!! I haven't fully fit inside of 10s in 2 years!!!! They're also the smallest 10s I own! BWEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Though this makes me kindasorta disappointed in myself for not going to the gym in 2 weeks.

As I haven't squeed over [livejournal.com profile] nothing_goldrpg in like 2 days, let me take this opportunity to *squee*. The play has really picked up and it's sooooooo good. If you're looking for a post-war semi-dark RPG to watch, we've loads of plot twists and turns to watch.


Want some examples? [livejournal.com profile] lethe_obliviate used to be Seamus Finnigan but he's now Liam Neary and he's Bellatrix's pet project. He has no memories of who he really is though Parvati looks to be helping him recover his memories. Fred and George Weasley work for Voldemort making weapons but they've just received Weasley sweaters from Ginny. Charlie works for a Muggle soup kitchen but he's slowly making his way back into the Wizarding World. Snape just Crucio'd Remus and Remus is now (hopefully) making his way to the Order! Michael Corner is losing his magic and he just confessed to Hermione. I cannot rave enough about Moody and his cantankerousness. Then there's the Tonks/Charlie/Angelina thread that just makes me squee and giggle! Then, my Bella has a Rodolphus! YAYES!!!! DUDE!!!! Nothing Gold was just picked up as a watched rpg at [livejournal.com profile] rpg_prophet as well! BWEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Can we say "best players evah"? I think we can. In fact, let me just say it. BEST PLAYERS EVER!

Speaking of great players and favourite rpgs... Liam at [livejournal.com profile] deanandseamus - I'm watching you, don't think I'm not. Seamus? You... you are a fucktard. I love you, really I do, but fuck buddies? Seriously? You're going to lose Dean if you keep that shit up. Bad Seamus, bad! *waggles finger* You're breaking my heart. You'd better fess up to Malachy (who I don't trust at all, really) and then appear for Christmas Dinner at the Thomas's. In fact, you'd better bring a hell of a gift and possibly a blow job in the bathroom or a lap dance or something. Redeem your fucktardness before you lose Dean and make me Dean cry. Please. I'm not above begging. I'll do it if you want me to.

Speaking of Deamus - you all watching [livejournal.com profile] rpg_afterglow? No? Why not? The Deamus there is about to heat up as Seamus is about to come back to London. I might be biased (ok, I'm WAY biased) but I do love that Deamus as well.


Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] hill_ for the absolutely amazingly beautiful card! I also got awesome cards from [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii, [livejournal.com profile] original_lie and [livejournal.com profile] wendy and a CD and card from [livejournal.com profile] yodels. The awesomeness of that cd can be summed up in one set of initials - NKOTB.

Also - I fail at being a friend because I totally forgot to squee over the Bushisms and Countdown Calendars from [livejournal.com profile] best_of_five and [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii. Let me now *SQUEE* over how amazingly awesome and funny and wonderful these things are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you all get the exclamation points of too much caffeine and excitement)

Advent fics? Um, yeah *shifty look* I'm writing but every idea is well over 1k now and not finished so they're delayed.

I'm sitting here at my desk freezing, by the way.

How are all of you?

Hey, I talked to C9 last night for a brief moment about something our characters could be doing. Remind me to ask you about it.

I just realised that your postcard is still here though :(. I thought I'd put it in there.

Will mail asap, I promise.

nothing_goldrpg sounds good. I'll check it.

The Deamus there is about to heat up as Seamus is about to come back to London.

You don't know how happy I am to hear this :D

*points and laughs at you*

It's cold here, too. But it's supposed to be cold here and it hasn't been cold enough lately. But this morning I got up and it was pouring rain and cold. I wanted to go back to bed. I didn't and you should be very proud of me. We've been having unseasonably warm weather here, but instead of being grateful for that, I'm gonna huddle up next to you and complain of being cold, too.

oh, and p.s. - I got your card last night. Lights on the Cactus, *snirt* We have cactus up here, but they're only about 3 inches tall.

From: [identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com
I'm glad you got the card. My neighbor actually has blue and white lights on his cactus. You should have seen him stringing them up. It was hilarious.

I'm still going to have to punish you for the laughing.

You are so lucky to get snow! I know, I know ...it's freaking Arizona! But we haven't had a lick here in the Twin Cities. My kids rae off for break in two days and we can't snowmobile, ice fish or even sled! Trade ya?

Date: 2006-12-20 10:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com
It wasn't too much, honestly. It was more a couple of flakes but still... it's Southern Arizona. We're supposed to be warm, dammit! It's in the 50's today. Weather here right now makes no sense.

From: [identity profile] coffeejunkii.livejournal.com
yay you got everything! wilde and i were wondering last night if our gifts had gotten lost :). i hope you have much fun with the countdown calendar in particular!

heh, i'd love to have some snow here! and i actually wouldn't want to live in az where it's warm year round [no offense]. it needs to be cold in the winter and hot in the summer and moderate temperatures the rest of the time or i'm not happy :).

Date: 2006-12-20 10:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com
I will! That countdown calendar is AWESOMELY AMAZING!!!!!!

To us, it is cold in the winter. Anything less than 70 is cold for me. It's in the 50s today. Cold enough to have me digging out my gloves and hat.

Date: 2006-12-20 10:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coffeejunkii.livejournal.com
amazing and necessary!

funny how perceptions are different. 70 degrees is t-shirt weather to me, and if it's 50 degrees out, i might not even wear a coat, just my fleece vest. it's only properly cold when temperatures fall to the 30s :).

30 is proof that God hates me and wants me to be miserable.

Tonight is supposed to get down to mid twenties. Stupid Arizona *pouts*.

awww.

dude. it's not even that cold here in germany! and germany [well, this part] is the epitome of bad weather. i half-jokingly said i'd only see the sun again once i go back to the states.

do you even have heating in your house?

Date: 2006-12-20 10:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com
We have a crappy heat pump. I also am cheap... so the temp in the house is 70 and I wear sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks and slippers around the house. I also sleep under about 3 or 4 blankets when my mum turns the heat down to 68 at night.

I'm horrible when it's under 70. I'm happiest at about 85.

Date: 2006-12-20 11:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coffeejunkii.livejournal.com
omg, i would die if it was 68 at night! i always turn the heat down to about 55 or less during the winter or i can't sleep because it's too warm :P.

85 is reason to lie down on the couch and not move much because it's too hot.

It's the least I could do as I know what you're doing right now ;)

Wot? You fled from snow???

I'd die to swap places with you. I might be romantisizing snow too much but I love it and winter sports like whoa! Yet, it never snows down here. :/ *whines*

I give you all the sunshine and bright blue sky! Sunny weather and no snow does apply here *pouts*

Date: 2006-12-20 10:40 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com
Um, yeah, definitely fled from snow with a smile on my face and the song of "I'm free! I'm Free!" on my lips.

I hate snow with a passion. It really was only a few flakes but still! It's arizona! We don't have this crap, darnit!

We're having sunshine and blue skies today, though.

remote far-off possibly snow covered places like Pennsylvania

Writing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I can vouch that there is no snow here to speak of. Chilly cold, but no snow yet.

And [livejournal.com profile] nothing_goldrpg? Yeah, we rock.
