Bustling about
(Aside: Not feeling so stressed out about work anymore! Yay! I think spending V-Day weekend with both my lovelies helped. ^_^)
I've finally decided on a Lingerie Party outfit, more or less. Yay! It's going to be a burlesquey/steampunky thing.
My point of inspiration is my super-awesome underbust corset I got from Scoundrelle's Keep (which I'll ( Read more... ) -
Going to eleven
I feel like I'm being pulled in a dozen different directions as of late.
The majority of my work is writing release notes for special updates, which are basically patches for bugs that customers have come across. This means they have to get released ASAP. Which means I have very little time to write up a release note describing the patch. It wouldn' ( Read more... ) -
Back.... to the future!
Friday night I was kicking back, preparing for a nice relaxing weekend, when I got a call from Dan. "Are you up to guests this weekend?" he asked.
"Guests as in... you?" I asked, mildly confused.
Yes, as it turns out. He was supposed to drive up to see Zem that weekend, but there was a blizzard that day and he didn't want to drive all night in it. ( Read more... ) -
Ghosts of past, present, and future
It was really nice to see all my college buddies for New Year's. Though I'm still cleaning up from the party. :P I haven't laughed that hard (or drunk that hard) in ages, it seems. I'm a really lucky lady to have them in my life, and hopefully I'll be able to keep them there for at least a little while longer. Since they all seem to live within a ( Read more... ) -
How to Be Alone
I know I've posted this on FB before, but I think it bears a repost here.
I will admit that it gets kinda lonely here, when all my closest friends and loved ones are in different states (or might as well be). I'll even amdit that I made an OKCupid profile so I can find people to hang out with. (And play DnD with.)
But you know what? I really do enjoy ( Read more... ) -
Quick update.
The doctor gave me a look-over and doesn't think I have anything more serious than a deep muscle bruise. It'll take a while to heal, but it's nothing that heat/cold and regular ibuprofen won't fix. It's gonna be a bitch, though, because it's my dominant arm that got all banged up. Hrrrg. -
And I thought MY jokes were bad.
Almost a year to the day after Daniel got hit... I got hit by a car.
I was in Chicago, and we were going home from downtown. For some reason the bus was only going as far as Pulaski, so we got off there and were going to walk the rest of the way back. It was a green light, and we had the walk signal, so I started crossing. My hood was up, so I didn' ( Read more... ) -
Privation
I've noticed a trend about my posts that's been going on for a while, besides the fact that I haven't posted as much lately (that's always ebbed and flowed). I don't post nearly as much about any sort of emotional difficulties I'm going through as I used to. In some ways, this is a good thing - there's no way I want to go back to the passive- ( Read more... ) -
Trust in absolutely fucking nothing but Doomtree
Went to a Doomtree concert last night. It was the last one of their tour, and the first one of theirs I've been to.
And it.
Was.
AWESOME.
( Nitty-gritty details ) -
It's all part of the plan.
I've laid out a step-by-step plan to fulfill my gamer dreams now that I have a decent income and my own place.
1. Buy a sweet new TV. - DONE!
2. Buy an Xbox360 - after I've played through all the PS2 games I currently own, which should take me several months. Also a second controller, if one isn't included.
3. Buy the games I want, but I'll only get ( Read more... )
