A wonderful time in the Big Core last weekend with flitterkit, epinephric, and maxrobbin, among many other friends--some long-lost, and some newfound. It is disturbing how quickly seven or more years can drift by without seeing a good friend; it is amazing, and wonderful, how easy it can be to pick up exactly where you left off. If there is such a thing as nostalgia without ( Read more... )

I decline to post the "Bed" meme that's been going around ("If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought/action?"), but allow me to issue a blanket reply to all of my friends who have done and will do so.

Just dandy . . .

*I have purchased a badass pencil. Actually, a carton of eight badass pencils, bought sometime last week. It is called the Mirado Black Warrior, and the package was brash enough to declare itself the "World's Best Writing Pencil, Guaranteed." Even if I don't have epinephric's chronic case of graphophilia (graphomania, perhaps?), and even ( Read more... )

Dear God. Having seen this going around, I gave it a try . . . I don't know if this is good, bad, harmonious, or incredibly narcissistic:

A meme I had promised to post a while ago, but had forgotten:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. Ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know ( Read more... )
