rusty_halo	8:12p	random linkspam http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2883 This letter written by 20-year-old David Bowie to his first American fan is pretty much the cutest thing ever. (Well, I guess the surprised kitten is cuter.) I’ve been having a hard time with Farscape fanfic (first step to making a story readable: Find: “half-breed”; Replace: “Scorpius”) but I’ve been enjoying vids. Particularly comedy vids, like this Scorpius/Braca one, or Scorpius as the Grinch. Man, I wish I’d been in the fandom when the show aired… I love it very much but there’s not really any kind of outlet for my enthusiasm. Active fandoms are a lot more fun.

rusty_halo	2:08p	Fannish Stuff on eBay http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2882 I’m selling some fannish stuff on eBay: * Buffy the Vampire Slayer Initiative Xander Action Figure (New York Comic Con 2007 Exclusive) * Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Scruffy Norrington Action Figure The Norrington one is really cute. Um, for an action figure. (Look at the close up of his face!) I’m also selling a new, unopened 120GB Playstation 3 (with all accessories) if, uh, anyone wants one. (Long story–I decided to buy an HDTV on Black Friday but to make it worth the cost I had to buy it in combo with a Playstation and then sell the Playstation.) I’m also selling some books and DVDs. Everything’s listed here. I’ll give free shipping to any of my fandom friends who buy any of these. (If your eBay name doesn’t match your fandom name, let me know who you are so I know to take the shipping cost off.) Current Mood: weird Originally published at rusty-halo.com.

last_raindrop	10:47p	Tomorrow is friday!*does a happy dance* I haven't had a good weekend in 2 weeks. I am watching New Moon this weekend with Iseol and then I am going to talk her into coming to the market with me. My mom is going to try and find me Anannsy Boys in paperback this weekend so I might be getting one with me as well. I am, however, spending sunday in Buy the Book with the awesome owner and the awesome books. I really hope she has found all the rest of the Mercedes Lackey books. She said she has the whole series so when she gets the rest, I am going to buy them and since they are a pain to find in the US, I am going to take them back with me. I am getting a hamster for my B-day. I wanted something furry and those don't live more than 3-4 years so it is perfect...The one that I want is small, cute and it is white with big black spots...I have decided, when I get it its name will be Xemnas!!! ^^ They are like W8000 each wich is like $7.5 I might get a second one later as well. It will not cost me more than $50 to have everything I need and I will have a FURRY XEMNAS!!! YAY!!! Anyway, my mom is sending me my presents on monday so I will get it about a week later so perfect for my b-day. YAY. Now back to Farscape... P.S. I finished my Slytherin scarf and am making a scarf for Todd before I can make my Griffindor. Current Mood: complacent (Comment on this)

glitterbats	11:44a	So, my hours have been cut. Good news is, I can still technically afford to pay my bills, I just won't have much if anything left over. However, after this week is over I will probably not have a way to and from work. If my hours hadn't been cut I could afford to take a taxi, but now I can't. Also I think some of the pipes may have busted. Current Mood: stressed (Comment on this)

maureenlycaon	9:11p	Two old scifi novels: "Dream Games", "War Games" Has anyone else out there ever heard of these two scifi novels by Karl Hansen? A post on Elf's LJ reminded of them. Published waaay back in the 1980s, they were two novels of pretty much the sort of thing I like to write and read now: morally ambiguously, extremely dark and even more disturbing, full of decadence, violence, and perversion. Oh, yes, and furries. Actually, in certain of their elements they're too unpleasant even for me. ( Cut for length and NSFW unpleasantness ) At the end of Dream Games, Mark explains that in the future, he sees his armies will have Terra under seige, but that then the Terrans will develop a terrible new weapon, and he does not know what will happen after that. I eagerly awaited the sequel, wondering what would happen. And waited. And waited. It was never published. To this day I sometimes wonder sadly what happened to Karl Hansen. It was this discussion in elfs LJ that brought this up in my mind over the past couple of days. Current Mood: pensive Current Music: Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt (Comment on this)
dustandroses	10:58a	AIDS Awareness   The Fabric of a Life art by Steve Walker Today, World AIDS Day, I'm remembering my dear friend Darin, who died of AIDS related cancer on September 6th, 2002.   I found a bunch of fun and smutty art online, but didn't have the energy to post them all here, since I've already posted them on smutday, so for those of you who aren't members of Smutday, you can take a look at them here.  AIDS Awareness Art  Enjoy! ~ Current Mood: melancholy (Comment on this)

tigresslilly	12:40p	On Family and Other Sour Spots I hate family holidays. It's not as bad as it used to be. There isn't a mind numbing soul obliterating anxiety about them anymore as there used to be. There's just a dull ache of worry and some slight stomach tremors. Really the worst bit was that I thought I'd probably never have to go to a shin dig like this again. I would go one day, I just would never have to. I didn't want to talk about where I'd been what I'd been doing and how I was. I'm better but not so well that I can always talk about Zac or Wyoming or what was a fairy tale life that while childish and unsustainable was also beautiful. I just can't talk about it especially with people who don't get it and no one in my family gets it. Instead I gave short answers and listened to long unending diatribes of how awesome everyone else is. I was glad they were well but I could have done without the jabs at where they were compared to me. I sincerely hope I never did that to them or anyone else, though my successes are so few and far between, I'm sure I've had little opportunity to knock some else further down that way. In particular my cousin, who works at Fenway went on and on about how boring but glamorous her job was, how much she hated living at home (though she does nothing there but sleep and hang out), and how wonderful her parties and nights out were. I wanted her to be successful. I was prepared to hear about her success and joy so it didn't even sting that much when she kept slighting me and where I was or discarding some of the work I have to do like chores and house upkeep and whatnot. What did sting was to find out later that her job at Fenway pays $9/hr she works no more than 30hrs a week and she doesn't get benefits. She'd sat there and scorned my retail work as less and demeaning when we make the same hourly rate, I work full time and my job gives me benefits. I don't have an hours commute by public transportation to pay for or anything. In other more pleasant news my bro got a letter from Mass Maritime and we think it might be his acceptance *hopefully*. I've got to wait for him to come home and open it but I'm super hopeful for him. It's very exciting. Also, they've finally corrected the comp and literacy portions of the mtels, I should finally have results and hopefully a license on the 9th. Maybe I've be able to pick up some second term work or start vigorously looking for the fall. I'm apprehensive and excited. I don't know what I'll do if this doesn't work and my parents feel strongly I'll need several other back up plans that I'm not sure how to approach but I'll have to figure something out soon I guess.

dragovianknight	9:15a	Supernatural fics I wish someone would write bridgetmkennitt, you might want to not click the link until after you're done with your fic fest fics. :D ( Random ideas are pretty womancentric, really. ) Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)
last_raindrop	9:39p	The Pancake lade apparently makes not only yummy pancakes but also yummy Mandou(like dumplings but very big with rice inside) and hamburgers(only the meat). So, I bought some pancakes for desert for me and breakfast for the roommate and I also got about 6 burger patties. This will be pretty much my food for most of the rest of the week...I am sad, leave me alone! It's yummy and I am saving money as well. YAY In other news, I have a meeting tomorrow morning and it means that I will be out of my house for work for 12 hours. What sucks, those 3 hours that we have to be at work extra we are not getting payed for. I need to do my homework for YMCA but am tired and want to watch Eureka. And no, I didn't type anything this weekend but I have a great excuse:I had to work!!! I got Aaron addicted to Eureka so now I just need to make him catch up...I am hoping Buffy will finish downloading soon so I can have a marathon. YAY I am almost done getting all the presents, I got plate thingies for my mom and her friends, now I just need to finish up and find what else I am sending to my mom...Tex is hard to shop for but I think I might have found something... Anyway, now onto Eureka! p.s. OMG, Merling came out Sat and I forgot, got to load episode*runs off to hunt down merlin* Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)

dragovianknight	8:40p	Maybe one of you will recognize them So, cleaning out my purse for the first time in...a long time, I found two fic fragments, and I don't know if I ever typed them in/posted them, and in the case of the second, I can't remember which universe it was in, though it seems like something I should have talked about. (The first is clearly a sequel to the fic in which Angelo found Marcello in Pickham.) So, behind the cut, ( two DQ8 snippets, and hopefully one of you can tell me where I was going with these... ) I think it's sad that I have to rely on other people to remember what the hell I've written, to be honest. But there you go. Current Mood: dorky (6 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	11:45a	The Interweave Store is having a sale 20% off downloadable patterns! So I broke down and finally bought the pattern for the Bacchus Socks I've been eyeing forever. Now I just need to convert the pattern to magic loop, since that appears to be the only way I like to knit socks. And get a 2mm circular needle. Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)
maureenlycaon	9:46a	If any of you not currently playing WoW are considering it . . . NOW is probably a good time to act. I should have posted this yesterday, but forgot to, alas. Just for this weekend -- meaning, until tomorrow -- World of Warcraft is on sale. The deal is: the original World of Warcraft game is available as an electronic download for only 5$. That's right, 5$. It's seldom sold in stores alone any more, but when it is, it's normally offered for $20. Now, with this original game, you cannot go to Outland or Northrend, you can only level your character to level 60, and you won't be able to make a death knight, period. I think you also will not be able to make a blood elf or a Dranei. It's painfully limited. The only thing this original edition of the game is truly suited for is for the timid beginner who wants to spend the bare minimum of money finding out if they really, actually do want to play in the World of Warcraft -- so cautious that they are less afraid of having to spend more money on the expansions later than they are of making a mistake now. Because, trust me, if you decide you do want to play, you WILL be buying The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. HOWEVER, you will still be playing online with other people, and you will have ten days to play free. After that, you have to subscribe. WoW has various payment plans -- by the month, every two months, every three months, annually, or using time cards (even gift time cards). Take note of this, kiddies, as it will be a little important later on. The other big deal, which is the one I recommend even for beginners, is this: the World of Warcraft Battlechest edition. With this, you get the original, base game, AND the Burning Crusade expansion. You'll get to make blood elves and Dranei if you want, and you can go to Outland and level up to 70. You also get two thoroughly out-of-date little game manuals, at no extra cost. You still won't ever be able to make a death knight, or go to Northrend (which is a fantastic place, if you ask me). Normally, it's $30 in stores. Supposedly only this weekend, Blizzard is selling the BOXED EDITION ONLY (not the download edition) for $20. Again, if you stick with the game, you WILL eventually be buying Wrath of the Lich King. Trust me. Again, you'll have ten days to play for free. Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)

ladynero	1:09p	YES!!!! As of 6:30 am this morning, I am pain free! *looks at the stone* Damn thing's got points on it. (3 Comments |Comment on this)
last_raindrop	6:54p	Ladies and gentlemen, I have an x-mas tree!!! It is small and cute and shiny(literarly since it has lights) and it has a chrismass hat on top. I have told my mom to send me my presents wrapped so I can put them under my tree(literarly the tree is too small otherwise). I spend about 45 dollars but that was for the tree, decorations, candy for me and the kids at school(because I am candy santa) and pencil presents. Not bad really. Tomorrow I am going to a turkey dinner since my roomie wants to go to one bad, he misses thanksgiving, and then I will pick up my ring and drag him home to watch Harry Potter. He finished the first book today. I have to wait about 2 weeks for him to buy the rest of the books but at least I got him hooked on the series. I wonder what should I give him for his b-day(it is the day after x-mas). Maybe I can make him a griffindor scarf by then but that means I need to start now...well, here goes nothing... *goes off to watch Eurika and make the scarf* Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Tsubasa - run for your life (Comment on this)

maureenlycaon	9:46p	What I did today. I felt like I did nothing today and am getting nearly choked up and in tears about it. Getting choked up and in tears about my life is something that's happening distressingly often these days. Maybe it's menopause. Maybe . . . well, it gets into some personal stuff. Today I: 1.) Leveled up my little Dranei hunter on Moon Guard, and ended up helping another player who'd never run a hunter before. She has a warlock at 80, she's just never played a hunter. We ended up talking for more than an hour and friending each other. 2.) Writing two and a half hours in Battleworld with Manya. 3.) Went to the gym and worked out. 4.) Bought food. 5.) Went home and leveled a Night Elf hunter I have Alliance-side on Feathermoon, so he'll be high enough level that I can get to Stormwind and maybe watch this roleplay event tomorrow. 6.) Sat in bed and read a bit further and did some checkmarking in the cognitive-behavior therapy book my therapist gave to me. 7.) Lay down for a nap (at around 3:30PM) despite my better judgement and the fact that the lawn desperately needs mowing. 8.) Woke up at 9PM. In my lexicon, that's known as "crashing and burning". 9.) Commented on a few people's LiveJournals. Current Mood: depressed (7 Comments |Comment on this)

dragovianknight	11:12a	Because 4-H Lady was willing to brave Walmart at 5am I now own a Philips MP3/video player*. So, does anyone know how I can get my various AVI files (and DVDs) into SMV format so I can take them places with me? Preferably a free way? *And a pair of boots that are too narrow in the heel, so I'll have to return them. :( Edit of SQUEE: I just realized I can now conveniently listen to podfics!

dragovianknight	8:58p	Delivered via timewarp Somehow, the Friday the 13th DVDs I ordered on the 23rd, shipped on the 24th and arrived today. And they managed that with Super Saver shipping (because I'm cheap). Dude! :D I thought the "Lewis Vendredi made a deal with the devil..." opening lasted through season two; I'm sad they cut it on the DVDs. I wish Rashid had been in more than two episodes. He was awesome. Current Mood: happy Current Music: F13 2x01 - "Doorway to Hell" (Comment on this)

ladynero	11:09a	Gonna be away for a while... .... Because my computer's got a couple of viruses and other nasty things that are slowing it down immensely. So, until I can get that taken care of, I'm not gonna be on line. Hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day! (Comment on this)
last_raindrop	10:48p	I am going to be a good girl today and go to bed early. I have done in my quota for the day in my notebook and while I already know that a lot will be changed and rewritten, I have still worked enough on it so that the story is moving forward...I will have to type it up this weekend so there isn't enough change that later on it changes the story itself. I will probably have to print it out at work to reference when I write...it is 16 pages now by the time I am done typing this weekend it might be 20 something...and I am still in chapter 1...damn...I have to admit, this is the best I have ever written and this story is really good if I do say so myself...it will probably pass the 15,000 words mark this weekend...damn...and still on chapter one... I am contemplating canceling on my boss tomorrow. I ran out of birthcontrol on Sunday so now I am in lots of pain-cramps which is what I was taking them for. I haven't had the chance to replace them but will probably have to do that on Friday. I will also have to pick up my ring from the jewlerer. I am giving my mom the list of things to send me on Thursday. TJ, if you have my bracelet made, give it to my mom at work(singing river electric) and she will send it to me but it has to be soon. Your presents will be send to her. I will let you know when she has them and she will bring them with her to work so you can picj them up from there. I am going to be a good girl now and go to bed. It is early but I am sooooo tired and if I wait another half an hour I will get my energy back again and will not be able to sleep until 2...maybe if I wake up early enough I can go to the doctor tomorrow...doubt it, I don't think the guy opens until like 10 and my lunch with Boss woman is at 11:30...we'll see....night now...

last_raindrop	10:39p	So, I just read two of Accio's het recs...how sad is it that apparently 2 hets are my limit per night...I mean, they were good, nothing like slash of course, but the thought of reading another het, no matter how good, makes me cringe...it is official...I am a slash monster...I like having het sex, I wouldn't ming(will prefer) a threesome but reading het is apparently really not my thing...not when the sex is descriptive...weird...
