O HAY GUYS GUESS WHAT I DID YESTERDAY.
secret answer: I got tattoed.
this has been in the planning for a while, as those of you who have been exposed to my protracted and extensive nattering on the subject will know (hi
wolby!). first I wanted seagull wings, my sister's design, but those fell through (for now!) for lack of time/funding. so this is what I got instead:
( pictures )
in conclusion- UGH, IT WAS AWESOME AND I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN. I can totally see how these get addictive. :S
now, as I am sitting in front of the a/c vent and shivering-cold, I need to go thaw out in the sunshine before dinner. ilu ALL, and hopefully when I get my baby iBook back from i.t. it will be happy and functional. (this is unlikely. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE. I have good people on the job.)

Apr. 7th, 2008 04:08 amretro-lesbian realizations part 120993 or something:
even after almost ten years*, a big part of me STILL wants to grow up to be Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Uranus).
*(where by "even after almost ten years" I mean that at age 12 or something I went to the family hairdresser's, handed her a copy of my sister's Sailor Moon manga with the Sailor Scouts on the cover, pointed at Haruka and said "make me look like that.")
this somehow amuses me. perhaps because it is SO LATE :o

You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
also, in the "made mel giggle like a crazy person camp" we have: Virgle: Virgin and Google on MARS! and this guy's forum response and the thread to follow. *sparkly hearts*
when I grow up, I'll be stable
Mar. 26th, 2008 04:14 pmbecause this is Most Important Information:
I still can't decide whether I want to do a raw/vegan/detox or throw myself headfirst into survival via caffeine in the form of coffee, diet coke, and red bull (and ridiculous percentage dark chocolate. which, at least, is organic).
I'm thinking that I might do both.
\o/!
(opinions welcome!)

GUYS! GUYS I'M BACK! I CAN HAS LAPTOP! (hopefully this one ... works.)
and now I have a WHOLE LOT of posts to catch up on. I will do my best, but also please link here if there's anything I should see you-wise or fandom-wise -- I've been 98% out of the loop. HAS PANIC(!) DONE ANYTHING STUPID AND/OR AWESOME? DO THEY STILL HAVE THE AWFUL HAIR? does anyone want to hear about my unsettlingly awesome dream where I was Frank Iero's best friend since forever and therefore a singer in My Chemical Romance? WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN THE SUPERBOWL? and why do there appear to be bloodstains all around the edge of the hood on my green Summerfest hoodie? D:
also, I'm 21. CRAAAZY!

guys, if we keep rescuing the kidnapped "civilian" who is also the "inept yet determined/reoccurring supervillain" and MY GIRLFRIEND, no wonder we are only 59% effective. it's like a freaking soap opera or something! or possibly Batman! I'm looking at you,
ION, you guys! I'm not dead! just ... *flail*
I need to make a more effective post. later.

all I want for Christmas ...
Dec. 4th, 2007 02:36 pmas promised, WISHLIST!
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
( my wishlist: )
LASTLY, eleven:
11) 11 is more of a bonus and reminder than a wish-request, which is why I have no trouble adding it on:
PRAYERS. prayers and happy thoughts for anyone, everyone, the whole world. let's boost the Christmas cheer a little :D
my address will follow in a friendslocked post; if you're reading this and I don't have you friended and you want my address just e-mail me (or comment here with your e-mail) and I'll send it to you :)
IF YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME YOUR CHRISTMAS WISHES, PLEASE DO!

I AM A SNOW NINJA!
Dec. 1st, 2007 03:53 pmon the one hand, it's the first of December and suddenly vibrantly cold, in a wonderful beautiful nose-bitey bundle-up way, 17 F with a below-zero windchill, and I love it. LOVE IT!
... on the other hand, our heating went out some time last night, which means no hot water and no, well, heat. which at 17 F with a below-zero windchill is ... uh. bad. especially with my cold allergy. so I have my hat on under my thickest hoodie, and my matching scarf around my nose and mouth. SNOW NINJA!!! :D
if it gets much colder though I'll have to go to the library.
BUT STILL! CHRISTMASWEATHER! (though no snow yet :( ) and everyone else is keeping warm decorating the house, while I bundle up andpost to lj do homework (I supplied the music!).
