I couldn't stand being alone, but I was also torn with the guilt of replacing Quentin. I brought her home a little too soon, but once I saw her, I knew she was the one. I found her on petfinder. Ever since I was little, I have alway wanted a St. Bernard and an Old English Sheepdog. Well, one for now will do. She was at a rescue in Portland, ( Read more... )

I haven't been spending much time on the computer recently, and my lj has greatly suffered. I've been putting off updating because I don't want to talk about the logical sequel to the last post. It's been five months, and his death still chokes me up. I put Quentin to sleep on February 2nd. His mouth hurt him too much to eat even the best ( Read more... )

I just got off the phone with James. He was all chatty and happy and proud of himself because he just wrote up a letter for his work about equality in the workplace and bla bla bla. It was a good letter, and I hope it helps him get a raise or a promotion, but it wasn't exactly how I wanted the conversation to go. When he asked me how I was and I ( Read more... )

I took this from aristaea (who took this from someone else), and now you can take it from me.

I had the most unfortunate experience of losing my wallet this past week. I haven't lost my wallet since . . . well, I can't remember the last time I lost my wallet, but I was before I moved to Seattle. I don't know how it happened. I used it to buy dinner on Thursday, and on Friday when I went to buy lunch, it was gone (thankfully I noticed ( Read more... )

This is me just bitching. About my job. That I don't even know why I keep doing ( Read more... )

To all my HP friends on my flist, SpellCast's next episode is going to be all about Deathly Hallows, and we're looking for fans to send us a 1-3 minute review to be included in the show. You can either call our Skype account (fictionalley) and leave a voicemail (or call from a phone to 303-800-4342), or you can record an mp3 and email it to ( Read more... )

I'm exhausted, I'm emotional, and I'm hungry. I don't know if I want to cry, scream, or fall asleep. I've come to an end of such an integral part in my life because nothing is the same once that last is read and done. It was the anticipation, the speculation, the knowledge that I was a part of the creation that fueled my love and desire for this ( Read more... )

Hank of there vlogbrothers has a song dear to my heart (thanks to cedar for the link). Oh, Accio Deathly Hallows.

With all the DH spoilers running around, I've temporarily disabled comment posting from anyone not on my friends list. This shouldn't be a problem since 99.9% of my comments are from my friends. I'm not terribly worried that I'll be spoiled by the trolls since my lj is pretty low profile, but just in case.

ETA I can't believe how many people are ( Read more... )
