Ugh, tired and cranky and sick. Why did I have to be born female and with ill-working girl bits?

Anyway - went out with a friend last night. You might remember Cobra girl. We finally reconciled and hit a few bars on 4th Avenue. It was alright, she didn't bite anyone so that's an improvement, right?

Watched most of the Live Earth concert that was broadcast and I have to say that the dude that got to hold Lenny Kravitz's ass in Rio was one lucky motherfucker. I want that, dammit!

Am going to go see OotP with

shygryf on Wednesday. Made the decision that as her car isn't running and I have to work on Wednesday, that it'd just be better to go after work. After watching a few videos that

kaalee linked, I have no faith that Seamus will be in it all that much nor will he have an opportunity to join the DA simply due to Devon's interview where he says Seamus disappears at the end. Alfie, however, did say that he was going to check out fictionalley so, um, good luck, Alfie. Hope you don't mind seeing Dean and Seamus hooking up. I know I don't.

rpg_prophet is coming back with a new look. We'd taken an unplanned hiatus and, thus, have reorganized. If you watch rpgs and/or rp, you can help! Add a suggestion for discussion topics or suggest a game to have an in-depth feature. If you rp - write a letter to Luna asking for advice. She's just like Hints from Heloise, Dear Abby or Ann Landers.

( more on live earth, recycling and associated topics )

( on a more personal note )

I have a post about spoilers written but it's at work so expect some psuedo-meta on that possibly tomorrow.

How are all of you?

Rants

A couple of rants -

( first, on the subject of house selling, realtors, and theft of service )

( My two cents on the pet food recall and a rant about people donating the food to the shelter )

So obviously my weekend was shit. In fact, whole week was shit. That promotion I've been hoping for? Yeah, don't think that'll be happening ever. But, instead of continuing on with listing out all the bullshit going on, how about some happy?

tbdnewsletter is a new newsletter for The Black Donnellys. I'm really honored to be the Thursday editor! This is going to be loads of fun!

kotor_holo is going strong with loads of KOTOR stuffs for the perusal. Oh, that reminds me that I have stuff to post but I'll make sure not to do it on a Tuesday so I don't worry about pimping myself.

slashfest opens for requests this coming weekend! YAYES!!! You all have thought of requests, right? Remember, any fandom, any pairing as long as it is slash! (and ok, no multiple requests for the same pairing) We're carrying over 297 requests from last round but that's ok because we have loads of talented people and there shall be such brilliant requests that no one will be able to resist them.

slash_friday has a new prompt and it's really really hot if I do say so myself. Possibly NSFW! You have until Friday to write something for it so go write! *shoos people*

I got my dogs groomed and will be posting photos of all of them coming up soon. I know you all are just squeeful for the doggie photos.

I've finished my

springtime_gen and my

hpslashnotsmut assignments and sent both of them in. I was late (with the mods' blessings so with the extension, I was on time) and early for the former and the latter. Now, I just need to finish my bohemeth of a

serpentinelion fic. It's looking fairly good so far but I'm having to watch to make sure it doesn't veer into crack while I'm not looking. It should be posted by the 1st as that's when it's due. I'm shooting for posting on Thursday or Saturday. (Not Friday because see above comment about pimping myself)

I have 5, count them, 5 stories at the almost done stage. I have no deadlines except the ones I choose after I finish my

serpentinelion fic. Well, ok, I probably won't be able to resist a couple of the

slashfest requests that are sure to be made.

Now that I've recounted my happy - give me yours! What have I missed?

Gah. Today? Longest. Day. Evah.

Spent the day cleaning so that carpet guys could come in and work their magic. That means, I had to box up crap, actually clean up from under my bed and tackle Mount Closet.

End result: 8 hours of sorting, shredding, bagging, rinse and repeat. 7 garbage bags of shreds/trash and 2 bags of clothing/misc. stuffs to donate. Does it look like I got rid of 7 bags of trash? Nope. For a paperless society, we sure have a lot of the crap, don't we? I found bank statements from 1996 and duplicate check records from 1993. I've no idea why I had them but they're gone now.

My dad took all the fam out to dinner where I promptly fell asleep in the car.

No fic, two days behind... will spam flists later to catch up.

How are all of you? Please tell me you had more exciting weekends.

Off to go pass out...

Today is a momentous day for me

As much of my flist knows, I'm moving in Feb/March timeframe to a brand-spanking new house (as in, they just broke ground on building my house this past week).

I'm a book h0r. I hoard books. I sometimes pick them up and pet them as I love my books that much. When I moved to Arizona three years ago, I had 40 boxes of books and I've not gotten rid of more than 2 or 3 books since then but have bought many many more.

Today, then, is a momentous day for me. I'm purging books because I don't want to move them to the new house. I figured out that it costs me 27 dollars a box to move them (calculating the average weight of a box of books vs the rate per pound).

( On books and existential angst about books... )
To make this less about me and my angst... do you all have a favourite book that you just can't bear to part with? Cheesy romance novel, sci-fi, fantasy, murder mystery, book read to you as a child, any of them. Is there a story behind why?

and please, I know we all can't bear to part with the HP books
