Holidays  
It's holiday card time! I know lots of people were asking for addresses but I always feel uncomfortable saying "me, me!". This despite how much I love receiving mail of any kind.

I am therefore providing my new address for them that cares. I can still receive mail at the old address, too, if you've got that in some system and don't feel like updating it. I have a cute little holder in the middle of the dining room table, filled with Sanibel seashells and my mail.

I may put this under flock. We'll see how googleable it is.

( Addy )

I'm debating doing a wishlist this year. I am so near to being flat broke it's terrifying so presents are going to be stingy and limited this year, but wishlists are always fun.

It's Friday. Soon I will have a [info]margarks. And then later on an [info]ironwench and a [info]zxyp. These are good things

Why yes, we *do* have the hot coaches!  
Hello! I am cheerful. Probably cause my boys* kicked so much freaking ass last night. It is making me gleeeeeeeeeeeeful. And cheerful. And sort of manic! WHEEEEE. Yay, football. There's an article in the local paper today from Denver, because we always feature an article about the opposing team, and wow, the bitterness is just... it feeds me. It sustains me.

We won! We didn't capitalize cause the other team lost or scrape by the skin of our teeth, we won. Definitively. Oh, my team, how I love you. And if Hines grinned any damn wider he was going to probably eclipse the stadium lights.

This weekend was also good cause I had me a [info]taffimai, who I really miss already and is increasing my desire to move to DC (dear Library of Congress: hire me! please! I'll work hard, promise!). I always forget how pretty that city is. And what good food, god, I gained almost five pounds in three days cause of that city. I can't bring myself to mind, though.

Anyway. Anything good happen while I was gone?



* for the new people: that would be my football team, the Steelers

It turns out I dressed up after all. The others were way cuter, but as I didn't think I'd have a costume at all, it's pretty awesome. Yay for roomies!

Randomness  

  • This morning I had a bagel with egg and cheese and canadian bacon and it was good.

  • Of course, I'm hungry again. And have been since approximately ten seconds after I finished said bagel. Is it lunch time yet? We get free pizza...

  • Has anyone ever traveled to Cairo for vacation? If so, or you know someone who has, can you suggest things to do/see/methods in which to do them? My brother is, the lucky god damned bastard, is going to Cairo for four days but isn't sure the safest, most reliable way to go about playing.

  • No, changing his last name on his passport is not possible. I bloody well checked.

  • I am completely in love with Jay Smooth, aka illdoctrine. He has a site, but I find the youtube account easier to navigate. He is a stunningly brilliant, witty man who uses his blog to rant about various things that amuse, irk, or interest him. He's shown up on several people's LJ's before, but I figure more exposure is good. He's a vblogger, among other things, and one of the best I've ever seen. He gets how to completely use the medium, plus his use of language is squirm-worthy.

    Smart, eloquent people are hot.

    Anyway, check him out. He's worth an hour or two of your time, if not more. His most recent blog is about a football player who decided to call someone weak and stupid by way of the term "Christopher Street boy" It... well. I'll talk about it in comments if you want, but that rant shall wait for another day.

  • I slept for eight hours last night. It was nice.

- So, I wrote something. It possibly doesn't suck. Weird. I'm starting to want to write again, which is nice. I might even have an actual story, as opposed to a vignette, bopping around.

- Still ridiculously hyper (and post happy, sorry) because of the prednisone. I love how it's making me feel health-wise, but I'd like fewer high-blood-pressure headaches. Although it's just a little after noon, and I'm about to break out the painkillers so this thing isn't gone, unfortunately. And I'm not gonna talk for an hour, at least. Voice is going :(

- Three people, two of them male, have complimented my appearance today. This could be because of my spiffy new sweater (love!), which would make me happy. I suspect it's more because I looked like death warmed over on Thursday and I didn't eat for about four days.

I am, however, rockin' this new sweater. I do look damn good today :)

- I'm going to be in DC the weekend of November 7th. My schedule is sort of up in the air, but I know I'm free Saturday night. Anybody wanna meet up, have dinner or something?

- I sort of wish I had a bucket on my head today. I'm not sure why.

- I want a new mood theme. Where do people get good mood themes?

Who knew you could get what's basically tonsillitis without having tonsils?

It took a farking week to learn this. I have, however, convinced my mother that I really truly absolutely do not have the flu, because every person in my family heard the story of the woman with a sore throat who was misdiagnosed and died and OMG THAT COULD BE ME.

Saw a doctor I haven't seen since I was like eight or nine and he remembered me and my brother. Kinda cool.

Have much stronger drugs. Have sweats. Have mac'n'cheese very soon. I'mma gonna go be a slug until Sunday, in the hopes I can actually shout and cheer during the football game.

Can't talk. Can type though.  
Yes, I know, my site is down again. The hosting company I am with is comprised of assholes who don't care about people across the pond (or at least, this is the impression I get; for all I know they're assholes to everyone). Basically: solidinternet is a company I want my money back from. Soon.

I'm in the process of moving everything to a new host and my brother is amazing and far more patient than he should be with me and got everything uploaded for me! So now I just have to change dns servers. That'll take a day or two, so for now change the 'www' to 'strangewiz' and everything'll work fine.

I realize my website is sort of terrible and terribly maintained, but at least it's there. Most of the time. Stupid solidinternet.

I am miserable and voiceless and my coworkers are being mean to me today (by trying to make me laugh which hurts like a damned knife in the throat, thanks). I was told to go home at 1, but I'm sticking it out, dammit. So.

Gakked from everyone and sundry:

The problem with journals: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Ugh.  
Sick. Roommate sick. Roommate's gf sick.

We're awesome. And should be quarantined.

So should I buy this? I desperately need something big and plushy and warm in my room because I hate hard wood floors. This is like two hundred dollars cheaper than anything else the same size, but that makes me nervous because it is so much cheaper. Anyway... should I? Or should I concentrate on looking for a remnant?

Alternately, does anyone know where I can get big pieces of bound carpet (I don't really want a pattern, given my room) on the cheapish? That's what I really want but I have no idea where to get it. Nevermind, [info]tesserae_ told me where to look!

And a meme, because I am miserable. Gakked from [info]inkandchocolate:

The Feel Good Meme: One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind you of how great you are.

Also, it's ridiculously depressing to discover I have only eleven days to finish my kink_bingo card, which means I just won't.

1. I had a #1. I can't for the life of me remember what it is, though. I also managed to forget: my cardigan (I freeze in my office), the pill I really needed to take this morning, and my lunch. Fortunately I have money, at least. Today is really, really not good so far.

2. Please? I sort of need this, I think. Anonymous encouraged, ip logging off.

Finally saw Vegas. Have not yet stopped making squeaking noises. Also being mocked for said squeaky noises.

Now we're looking at pictures af Joe Flanigan. And I have fic in my head and no laptop or netbook to write them.

Joe is so pretty. And hung. And pretty. Mmm.

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]tty63! May it be full of sparkly confetti and good things. If you'd like a drabble, let me know!

2. My website, which was abruptly problematic and full of errors at the end of last week, is now back up again. I have no idea why, I'm just glad it's there again and I didn't actually have to do anything.

3. Pre-season games start Thursday!!!! I am so excited. For those who are new to this journal (*waves hi*), I am football obsessed and completely enamored with the Steelers. I shout and scream a lot while watching the games and often do the same via my journal. Just scroll on by, if you don't wanna join in :)

4. [info]unamga showed me Man Made last night. Dear God that was bad. Just. Hellish. Except now I have baby!flan and baby!Sheppard running around in my head and he's sort of completely adorable.

5. I am very annoyed with Ikea. Still. Do not taunt me with things I want to buy and then inform me that none of them are in stock!

dragging. can't leave early today because I'm not really going home (long story). So:

In pursuit of the fannish fun, a meme, seen a bunch of places...

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post in this post because there should be a limit to my spamming.

eta - yes, fine, I'm apparently writing fic for some questions...

Fandom Soirée!  
Good morning! I hope you're enjoying this lovely Friday! I am not, as I want to sleep until the next jubilee, but it's sunny and cool out so I can pretend.

One miss lovely [info]unamaga and I will be hosting a Fandom Soirée on Saturday, August 15th, at out place. So that means anybody in the Pittsburgh area or who can travel to us, please come! We have no idea what we're doing, but there'll be booze and food and we'll figure out where everybody's sleeping later. Yes, I know, short notice, but I know there are a bunch of people who aren't so far away and we'd really love if you joined us.

Let us know either here, or via email just so we have sort of an idea of how many people we need to prep for (and what to do about sleeping arrangements, should we need).

*zooms by*

Hi, I am insane and exhausted and not sick (do you hear that germs? NOT) and barely here but I forgot to ask.

Would someone possibly know how to put ebooks that I... procured on various iphone ebook applications? I have kindle, the b&n one, and stanza. I suspect stanza's the only one I can really do this with, but... help? Cause I'm not checking luggage which means I'm not bringing heavy books and.

Halp?
