An adventurer is me!
Procrastination.

Last night/this morning, I had a dream where I had seven (!!!) kids. As in, still in the hosptial. And then we (who? I have no idea, bu a bunch of "us") wanted to go... get something to eat, I think. So I asked Remus Lupin to babysit.

Wat. Subconcious, you are loony.

Happy LOUD NOISES Day, if you're into that. The "Donut Fairy" (aka Mrs. F who boards horses here) left us a box of donuts this morning. Mmm, donuts. And not just boring old (but still delicious) regular glazed donuts either. My share, at least, contains one of those, an eclair (!!!), and a maple cake donut.

It's a good day today. May everyone's obnoxious neighbors accidentally a firecracker (the whole thing), and donuts for all!

...Um, I'm gonna guess the person who asked this has never known a cat. Or a dog. Or--. Anyway. Yes. (*insert obligatory link to Robot Chicken's "Cats Are Jerks" bit*)

Also, I totally just ordered one of these.

I think some do, definitely. Not cats though, the little fluffy bastards (<3).

In other news, any time I need a disparaging remark made about the Japanese, I can always go to my grandma. Thanks grandma! I'm sure Japan loves you, too.

I'm (more or less) enjoying being home, by the way. It's nice feeling somewhat human again. Also I can has cat whenever I want. Rewatched first half of G Gundam, now rewatching first half of Gundam Wing. Playing FFXII and various KH. Put up shelves in room. Reread Outlander and... Voyager (? the second one). Cleaning room. Plotting things. Watched part of Sailor Stars (the animation is so pretty! Also, Outer Senshi!). Oh! And found my Pokemon TCG Gameboy game (as well as Donkey Kong... Land? The Gameboy one). Man, I missed that game. I'm also now the proud owner of Enchanted, Chicago, Corpse Bride, and... wait for it... the Dragonlance movie. Yes.

So, that's me, more or less. How've y'all been?

*clears throat*
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

profsparky: song lyrics for all occassions! And yes, this is a dumbass question.




Also, I think I'll start posting these when I have 'em to post:

My omelet smells like goldfish crackers. Why does my omelet smell like goldfish crackers, somebody please tell me. Oh god.

Thanks a lot, caf guy.

You know what would be epic? An ironic/angry cover of "How Lovely to Be a Woman." You know, that song in the commercial. How lovely to be a woman, the wait was well worthwile. How lovely to be wear mascara, and smile a woman's smile. Let's get, like, Ani DiFranco or someone similar to cover it. That would be pretty much the best thing ever. Y/n?



In less epic news, R.I.P. Bea Arthur. You will be missed. D:

Oh lord, CrazyCrazy is attempting to engage me again. This time she's picking a nit about gender-neutral names, and the fact that I expressed interest in having one in the midst of a facebook survey. This should be good.

EDIT: Here, let me add her comment, and my response.

The question, and my answer: 1. If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I dunno. I've never really felt like much of a Stephanie, but I don't have any alternatives lined up. I'd love a more gender-neutral name, though.

Her: Wow. Much indecision, and multiple answers. Why did you refuse to tag anyone? What is a gender-neutral name? Do you not want telemarketers to know if they should say Mr. or Ms. when they call you? That happens to my mom all the time. People address her over the phone as Mr. because her name is Shawn. Why would you want that? Ashley? Courtney? Those are male and female names, but most people associate them with females. Give me one name that is completely "neutral."

Me: Wow, yes, a survey on facebook is clearly so important that I should soul-search and narrow down my answers. I don't like tagging people because I know some people don't like doing surveys, and also so I don't accidentally tag someone who's already done it. And I'm too lazy to tag. A gender-neutral name, obviously, is a name that does not ... Read Moreimmediately register as male or female. Personally, I don't want telemarketers to call me at all. There are also a number of gender-neutral names, although many of them are skewed one way or another, at least for me personally. And, hmm, how about Alex? Or Avery? Or Jamie? Or Casey? Jesse? Jordan? Although I have no idea why I have to magically have a perfect, gender-neutral name for you, since I said in my answer that I didn't have any ideas in particular. Avery looks kind of nice, though...

EDIT 2: How surprising, she got even ruder.

Her: Yeah, I think those are all male, although I am increasingly meeting female Jordans. I know more girls Alexes than boy, though. Jamie is a girl name. I think anything with -ie is a female name. Jesses is a country name! The gender doesn't even matter! You don't HAVE to have a name, but since you said you wanted one, I assumed that they must exist, unless there are none, in which case, how could you have one? Jesus Christ, testy...calm down, it was supposed to be fun...damn....

Me: Gintrelle, you are the one who came in with a list of dimuborderline-rude questions and demands. I just didn't feel the need to sugarcoat my reply. Like I already said, most gender-neutral names tend to "feel" either male or female to me; those are just the ones I googled quickly. Jamie can also be a variation of James. I don't know why I'm ... Read Moresupposed to take your word for it that Jesse is "a country name," but whatever.

Basically, Gintrelle, you are the one stirring shit here, so please don't try to put it on me when I don't feel like taking your argumentative garbage for once. Not everythig has to be a debate. I idly expressed a desire, you attacked the hell our of it, I responded. I didn't even respond that rudely, to be honest. You started it, and now you're trying to escalate it. Why? Why is my possibly wanting a (more) gender-neutral name so offensive to you? Damn.

Also, fuck off Adam. You're not funny.

Good news, everyone: NY vows to legalize same-sex marriage!

Now I want an "I [rainbow]♥ NY" t-shirt.

EDIT: Well, this certainly explains a lot about my grandmother. :x

"As nice as whatever you're watching/listening to must be, 10pm (and later) is not the time to share it with your neighbors.
Thanks. :)"

That's the note I just left my obnoxious neighbor. You know, the one who gets on my case everytime I make noise, and yet she makes all kinds of racket.

I think the smiley face at the end really makes it.

I am amused by people on the internet who look down their nose at anything that's a part of "internet culture." I don't mean being annoyed by chatspeak (though claiming not to know what it is at all will make me raise an eyebrow), but more the attitude of "oh, you silly people on the internet," while you yourself are on the internet.

Why yes, I am talking to CrazyCrazy. How did you guess? (There may be bonus "lol gay people" aggravation forthcoming.)

EDIT: OTOH, "you always know what to dislike" may be the best compliment I've gotten all year. XD

Wow. So I wonder how many more times uproae is going to add and then remove me. It's getting old, and you've been reported as a bot. :D

Anyway. I know I haven't posted much lately. It's because I haven't had much to say, or at least, nothing that anyone would want to read.

Currently debating adding Creepy James on facebook for lulz. Y/n? Also, the secret to avoiding him is to look busy, which is what I've been doing when I encounter him without backup. (He's actually pretty cool in actual group discussion.)

I've also been contemplating hitting up whatever career counseling/assistance stuff we've got on campus. Anyone with me? *looks pointedly at fellow English majors*

Nemesis, of course.

From facebook:

"Gintrelle thinks that if you have to legitimize yourself by attacking things that are different from you (especially when such attacks are unprovoked) you have only affirmed your illegitimacy."

Uh.

(Obviously this is only funny because it's something she does frequently. In general, I agree. But LOL CrazyCrazy! I really want to see what brought this on!)

Oh lol, from Gintrelle (aka CrazyCrazy):

Quizzes are silly; quizzes can be fun. If you take one and like it, send it to someone!

Don't ask. Trying to get into a mood. Got an assignment for 306. (Sad sigh)

Take the political ideology quiz. There should be something on the home page about me having taken it. I got "very conservative." That I do not dispute. On the contrary, I am quite proud of my beliefs. But then I had a thought, and I decided to try to see. I think I am the, if not, one to the top five, most conservative people I know. I didn't send this to everyone. Only people who self-identify as moderate or conservative. There are varying degrees of "moderateness". Terry Hughston got "moderately liberal," which would be "center-left" (como Hillary Clinton? Ugh. . . .). Take it. I think it will be interesting to see where I fit in relation to people I know, especially those of you that I see/talk to most. Have fun! (Emphasis mine, of course.)

Uh... have we spoken before? You must not know about me. (I apparently have to quote "Irreplaceable" while I talk about this quiz; I did it on facebook, too.) And yeah, I got "very liberal." *snort* Moderate or conservative.

Also, I am perhaps a little too pleased that I got to friend AE on facebook. (I'm also excited that I'll finally be able to donate some spare cash, when I have it. At least someone on the internet takes paypal! :D )

I lol'd. Damn zombies, dickin' around in cemetaries...

OR

Efficient, no?

Of the two mentioned, autumn. More winter'd be good, too, please.

So, happy beginning of spring, I guess. If you like that sort of thing.

Short version: whatever you expect to happen.

Slightly longer version: If you believe in the Christian heaven/hell and such, you'll end up there. If you believe in reincarnation, you'll reincarnate. If you're an atheist, nothing happens. But yeah, I tend to think you'll end up more or less where you're planning/expecting/hoping to go. I also tend to think... or at least hope that you'll also be able to see loved ones who have gone to different afterlives.

And I have no idea what agnostics get to do. Spin the wheel, maybe? I'd like to buy a vowel...

Boo. I want to watch Lucky and Zorba (a translated-to-English-from-Italian cartoon no one ever saw about some cats teaching a sea gull to fly), and it's not on dvd on up on youtube. Well, okay, the orginial Italian one's on youtube, but I want the one in English. *folds arms and makes a pouty face*

A line that popped into my head earlier, and just wouldn't go away. Maybe I can work it into something some time.

I have so much sleep debt, I had to take out a second mortgage on my dream house.

You're welcome. XD

Ohohohoho. I got to call Douchebag Chris a douchebag today. To his face! And with apparently no backlash. Yesssssss.

(For those of you who aren't C&C, Chris is an extremely arrogant jerkwad. I have rarely heard him speak without me wanting to punch him in the mouth afterwards. He's one of those where nearly everything he says is ignorant (at least), dickish, racist(and probably some other -ists), or just generally douche-y. He frequently goes for combos, too. He's also kind of creepy.)

EDIT: Hahahaha. I just got a text from Christina, which said "Lulz, Chris asked me if you have 'mental issues.'" I sent back "Lol! Only when douchebags pester me."

Also, I typo'd text as "tet" at first. Internet personality = message via phone. The more you know, huh?

Dear Dorm People,

AIR CONDITIONING. NOW.

Sincerely,
Everyone in Brooke

SATURN AT OPPOSITION: This is the weekend of Saturn. On Sunday, March 8th, the ringed planet will be at its closest to Earth for the entire year, and a marvelous sight through small telescopes.

Oh snap, does this mean that the Messiah of Silence is about to wake up? And that Sailor Moon needs to find the Holy Grail?

...
