I'm going to my parents' for a New Year's Day dinner, but I wanted to spread some love, too.

So...Why Not?!?
Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Hell, I'll probably give you several reasons ;).

Happy New Year, inhabitants of LJ-land ;).  May 2006 be the kind of year you need and want it to be ( Read more... )

One of the most reliable ways for me to treat a plain ol' headache is to have a good, strong cup of coffee.  Sometimes the headache goes away and then I can easily fall asleep despite the caffeine; other times, I find myself with an over-abundance of energy when what I really need is sleep.  I'm suffering from the latter this evening ;).  I try to ( Read more... )

I finally saw The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last week.  Boyfriend Jon never read the books or saw any of the other film adaptations or had any clue what the story was about, but oh, he came, too.  Having been hopelessly devoted to the book for as long as I can remember, I entered the theater with the hope that I would finally see my ( Read more... )

20 years ago I was:  learning to love my 1-year-old sister and walking around the house naked.  In some ways, little has changed ;).  Coping with my father's eccentric behaviors which I wouldn't understand for years ( Read more... )

I wrote about it last year, and I feel the same way now.

World AIDS Day is today.  There are 40 million human beings living with HIV/AIDS, and 25 million of them live in sub-Sahara Africa.  Tell me there's not something fucked up about that ( Read more... )

There's a winter storm watch in effect for Massachusetts?!?  What the blue hell...?  I guess Mother Nature decided to skip autumn this year.

I purchased Land of the Dead sight unseen (when you love zombie flicks like I do, well, you know which ones will most likely be keepers), and I finally found a spare two hours to watch it last night ( Read more... )

Although I haven't had to rely on the bus for two years, I am still a big fan of public transportation.  Before I broke down and obtained my driver's license, I used to take the B-Bus to the public library where I worked.  It wasn't always easy.  Wearing cute little librarian outfits and reading provocative books, I was a tempting target for pick- ( Read more... )

I believe my interest in the artwork and literature portraying the Medieval era stems from my idealism, my belief that the point of the journey is not to arrive.  I like to believe I could have been a knight striving and suffering for a lady he could never physically love ( Read more... )

I'm finally feeling better after three days of suspecting the world revolved around my sinuses.  I owe it all to Nyquil and Encore's seemingly endless supply of movies, good AND bad, that keep me glued to the TV rather than doing anything productive.  I can finally kiss Jon (and maybe actually, oh, get some) without a fear of contaminating the poor ( Read more... )
