you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

ok people. I just have one thing to say.

if you're having sex in the next room, I mean, that's fine by me; go for it, but...
you could at least be sorta-kinda quiet, ok? ok. because seriously, your activities do not need to be broadcast to those of us with 8:30 A.M. calculus.

kthxbai.

ok.
tomorrow I am going to:

-vid
-icon (people! go forth and be active at bop_stillness!)
-finish at least two calc problems; preferably as many as five
-do pre-writing work on the Donne paper and the Anthro paper
-go to the Keep
-sign up for xzombiexkittenx's Crossover Ficathon

I might even (but probably won't):

~work on the new layout for this journal
~work on the new layout for p_braden_update
~seriously do something about making a BoP mood theme

I WILL HOLD TO THIS. HOLD ME TO THIS. I ALMOST NEVER COMPLETE TO-DO LISTS BUT I WILL THIS TIME. I AM JUST THAT DETERMINED.


in other musings, any MSN folks (or, you know, folks who can get MSN messenger-- it's not that hard) -- BoP movie/chat tomorrow? or Sunday? I know, I know, just when you thought you were safe... but seriously. y'thinkin' maybe? I'm thinking I need to crash now.



*crash*

Title: The Phantom Lady!
Length: 537 words
Rating/Warning: mature sexual content; disturbing content
Note: Somewhere in a small dark place between the book and the movie, this happened. ima_pseudonym coaxed it out, and I bit and kicked and screamed and fought but it would be written despite my best efforts. I'm so very, very sorry.

( 'she looks just like her mother with that hair,' they say )


[I... really am sorry. This hurts me more than it hurts you. I promise.]

ANNOUNCEMENT OF COMPLETE TRIVIALITY AND YET OF VAST IMPORTANCE:

barring possible hazelnut, THIS is the best chocolate bar in the world. or, at least, in my experience.

that is to say, it's really, really damned good.
but I have no milk.

...goddamn!


[1]- well, not exactly free, but since it comes with the board plan, it feels free. you know?

Hah. Steelers.

*smug*




(...gods, I can't even bring myself to type that fic, even as I'm constructing it in my head. I won't give up)

ROSTERS, POSSIBLY MAYBE!

Tonight's chat/viewing is mostly nailed down to 8:30 EST (EST being GMT -5), give or take a half an hour. Basically just be online some time between 8 and 9 (preferably closer to the "8" end), and I'll drag invite you into the chat(s) [I'm garnetpalomino on AIM and Y!, tehnorr (at) hotmail on MSN, in case you don't know]. Similar thing for Sunday, unless we find a more efficient method, although I don't know yet what time we'll be getting together. If you're a bit late, don't worry -- even if we've already started we'll help you find your place. No problem, no trouble!

Here are the lists (if you've got multiple SNs and want to pick one or two chats over the others, let me know and I'll edit/invite accordingly):

( Friday! )

( Sunday! )

okay, and THESE LISTS ARE NOT SET IN STONE. Duh. If you're free tonight, or Sunday afternoon (even if you didn't take the poll or reply to that post!), or if you were but are suddenly not, or basically anything, drop me a comment here (safer than catching me on IM, because a comment stays put and I'm less likely to drop the ball), and we'll dialogue. The more the merrier!

I'M EXCITED! ARE YOU?

ima_pseudonym just broke my heart to perfection, so while I'm trying to recover I lifted this meme off of wulingyi:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

( cut for language )

who all is not surprised, raise your hand.


...not the sweetest representative quote, though, is it?

Like a Bat out of Hell.

Dance of the Vampires.



DOUBLE-TAKE, WHAT?

oh, wait. Jim Steinman. okay.
BUT STILL.


this post brought to you by Portland classic rock radio and the fact that I'm too busy iconning to post anything worth reading.

I am getting to a normal sleep schedule. made myself stay up until 7ish-8ish P.M. and woke up naturally at 5ish A.M. --see, the night before, I didn't sleep, having slept from 4 to 11 P.M.. I am going to get there. I mean it.

( in other news, )


WOW. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT WAS THE MOST BORING ENTRY EVER.
