Current Mood: cheerful

It was my birthday on Sunday. I've just today found out I share my birthday with Allan Hyde (Godric from True Blood), so that's kinda cool. I am now the proud owner of Lyra, a Sony Pocket Reader. It's so awesome omg! I really didn't see the fuss over e readers and books but now I have one I don't know what I'd do without it! I named it Lyra because it's pink, and Lyra was the first girl's name from a book (His Dark Materials, just incase you couldn't work it out) I thought of. Haha. I got some little things from my mum, and there is a parcel on it's way from my dad. It should be here today, hopefully. It was a strange birthday this year, first one I've spent away from home. But it was just me and my boyfriend and it was nice. I did manage to upset myself a few times but I was expecting to, so it was ok.

We spent Saturday and Sunday watching Glee. ♥! I love it and it sucks to wait for new episodes. I have volume one of the soundtrack but I can't find the second one to download, anyone help a girl out?

We're meant to be going to spend Christmas with my boyfriend's family up at some kind of holiday park/resort thing. I'm really not sure about this, it's completely different to anything I associate with Christmas. No turkey dinner, omg! Part of me is hoping we get snowed in here and can't go.

Current Mood: chipper

Got in a few minutes after midnight. It was an easy drive this time, about 10.5 hours, no traffic to speak of other than the perpetual bottleneck in Columbus, OH, where I-70 meets umpteen bajillion other highways all at once. There was snow on the ground the entire 600 miles of my trip, which was novel-- granted, south of Indy it was just a dusting, but everywhere else it was thick enough to at least cover the grass. The roads were all clear, though, so that was good. I got here too late to greet either my mom or my grandfather, both of whom had gone to bed already, but did say hi to my dad and put the resident mean cat into the master bedroom before bringing Schmendrick in. I got him unpacked, fed, and watered, and he promptly told me what he thought of the trip by having a hairball all over the freshly cleaned carpet. That's my boy. :P Now he's chillaxing (note use of special verb just to annoy hecubuscathead ;), and I'm in my jammies.

Overslept this morning, am leaving for MD 3 hours later than planned. Urgh. Said goodbyes, stopped at music library to return recalled books (recalling a book right at the start of break? Not cool, people!). Sad cat is sad in his box in the car. But I have a ridiculous audiobook to keep me entertained for the next 12 hours.

Safe travels everyone! See you when I get to MD.

I'm loving the new commercial for Pysch.

( so I share it behind the cut here )

DEAR DIARY

TODAY I GOT LOST (alone) IN A STRANGE (yet small) TOWN IN A CAR THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME.

ALSO I CANNOT LEGALLY DRIVE.

lol terrifying.

AND, THE PRESENTS I ORDERED WEEKS AGO FROM AMAZON.COM COULD NOT BE LOCATED AND WON'T BE HERE UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS. Dick move.

ETA: I could have sworn that the lyrics in Queen's "Headlong" were: "She used to be a woman with a hard-knock stare" but it actually is hot dog stand? wtf wtf

Current Mood: relieved that I did not die

I've been thinking for ages that I have to grow up and leave all the fangirl flailyness behind. But today, I've come upon a revelation. I don't need to grow up. I can be 28 (soon 29) still fangirl over how awesome Harry Potter is, I can still squee over any member of the cast of Lord of the Rings. This year has been a big one for me. I'm still working myself out, dealing with being homesick, missing the cats and my friend (note, friend. I'm really upset that some of my so called besties haven't made any attempt to stay in touch. But that's another story).

It's my birthday on Sunday and although I'm feeling weird about not being with my mum or dad, I'm excited. It's the first time I've spent a birthday with my boyfriend and his family. I just hope I can keep it together and not cry while they're here. Hehe.

I need to revamp my userpics. Big Bang Theory icons, where are you?

Current Mood: loved

Dear Bones,

( spoilers )



meanwhile, why is there no Psych Christmas ep this year??? WHYYYYYYY????

For quite a while LiveJournal has had three profile options for gender: male / female / unspecified. Someone decided to "fix" that, for whatever commercial or gender-normative reason, and limit choices to male and female.

But LJ is full of people who do not fit into either of those two options, and get righteously pissed off. rm posts about how wrong this change is, and synecdochic explains more and suggests polite but firm feedback.

This works: LJ backs down and promises to remove the offending code.

Crisis averted, but people may want to take a look at Dreamwidth, http://dreamwidth.org They have split off the code into something better than an LJ clone, and are building a sustainable business based on subscriptions rather than ads. They keep adding cool new features, the most important of which is separating a subscription (see someone's journal posts on your reading pages) from access (let someone see locked posts of your own). I have a bunch of invitation codes, please just let me know if you want one.

Taylor Lautner (the kid who plays Jacob in the Twilight films) hosted Saturday Night Live this past weekend. I thought he did a decent job, though most of the writing for his skits was rather terrible, and I appreciated that he seemed totally down with making fun of himself (both wrt the gratuitous New Moon wolfcake fever and his relationship with Taylor Swift). At any rate, of course there was a sketch making fun of the Twilight phenomenon, and I thought it was easily the best part of the episode. I particularly love Taylor's excited little bounce & squeal right near the end.




And I would totally bake cookies on his stomach.

ETA: edited to embed the Hulu version, since the YouTube one I'd embedded got removed.

There are so many worthy causes in the world, but one of mine is The Riverkids Project, which helps kids and families in Cambodia. It's terribly common for girls and women to get lured or kidnapped into sex work, and the Riverkids workers help them avoid that and escape if necessary. I learned about this from an LJ friend and the project just touches my heart.

There are great also presents at The Riverkids Shop, where 100% of profit goes to support the kids. They ship so fast, even from Singapore, about four days; they beat Amazon to my house at least twice! I have a embroidered flower purse that makes me smile every time I look at it.

Current Mood: grateful

My fine is $ 505.60


Read the "offenses" and if you've done it, you owe that fine. Keep going until you've read each "offense" and added up your total fine. When you're done, post this as "My fine is $______".

You don't have to confess your answers, just the amount of your fine.

( Offenses )


HOLY CRAP. That is way, way higher than I expected. Huh.

Look who finally left the house again! Together! TWICE IN TWO DAYS, EVEN.

( I knew they'd have to come up for air eventually... )


NOW IS THE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN WE DANCE.

Finally just got around to watching a couple episodes of Criminal Minds I've had sitting on the PVR forever. One had Jim Parrack in it, the other had Mark Rolston. It's like a Supernatural reunion all up in heyah.

Ugh, it's snowing again. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.


In conclusion: ( I think I need this on a t-shirt. )
