My back hurts. However, my back hurts because I've been exercising and stretching it. That rocks! It also hurts! It means it will hurt for a few days. That sucks.

This has been a completely pointless entry. You should go watch a vintage Lame List instead.

I have never read Pride and Prejudice. I've tried numerous times but never gotten past the first few pages. The concept, rhythm and characters in the first few pages make me stabby. I hope the mother character dies in a fire while being attacked by rabid weasels. I don't just dislike her, I actively hate her and do not want to read another line of ( Read more... )

OK Everyone take a big deep breath and let me put your fears to rest. Yes, I did write 2400+ words on a story that isn't Walking on Sunshine, HOWEVER-- I wrote 5569 words on it.  So everyone put their shivs away.  I am finishing this sucker first.  Things are just starting to get interesting after all...

I went to the dentist this morning. They're really quite nice... but I think you have to be when you professionally torture people for a living. (Come to think of it, I do actually know people who torture in a more traditional sense and the nice thing holds true. Huh.) I hate being adult about going to the dentist. I know this has to do more with ( Read more... )

I need help brainstorming pocket items. My sample so far is skewed pretty heavily towards male pocket junk (mostly because there are more male pocket contents posted on the internet) but I'm looking for anything not already on this list. I'm looking for lets call it "transient" pocket stuff. Things like wallets, pocket knives, pocket watches, ( Read more... )

I've been put through the ringer emotionally the last week or so. Nothing major, just a lot of little things adding up. I've also been trying to feel more recently-- so this isn't entirely unexpected. It came to my attention that I'd turned off a lot of things that make dealing with emotional situations easier but I didn't really like the person it ( Read more... )
