Hi.

I didn't die, but I did kind of fall off of LJ. Apologies and all that.

I did make a Tumblr (as I stated a few posts back) on which I post mostly silly things. Despite having that, I don't want to get rid of this. Somehow that would seem wrong. I've had this LJ since 2003. I kind of miss using it more. Tumblr is nice for fun things but I still ( Read more... )

The primary con of this new apartment seems to be that there have been a few on-the-large-side spiders in here. Nothing like the enormous spider that lived outside the back door at my last apartment back in my hometown, though. That bitch was SCARY BIG. Anyway, I've had to vacuum one up every day for the last three days. They're crafty buggers too ( Read more... )

In a nutshell, here's what happened in June and the beginning of July (in order of occurrence ( Read more... )

27. How is "Pulitzer" pronounced?
The correct pronunciation is "PULL it  sir."

I giggled. A lot.

HOLY SHIT. My dad just called me to say my mom's in the hospital. I am freaking out. She had heart-attack-like symptoms last night so my dad took her to the ER and apparently the upper chambers of her heart aren't working properly. She's on medication now, and I don't think she's going to need surgery, but I don't know all the details yet. I guess ( Read more... )

Home getting over food poisoning. YES, AGAIN. I think Kansas hates me and wants me to suffer. Also in on the plot: cream cheese, which I love but apparently can never ever eat in anything ordered from a restaurant ever again. Cream cheese will henceforth only be acceptable when I have supervised its proper refrigeration. And that's not going to ( Read more... )

I am irresistibly drawn to radio stations that play 80s and 90s music. Today's "Oh my God I haven't heard this in FOREVER" song is "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" by Sophie B. Hawkins.
