IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR NAME ON THIS LIST (either as a temporary thing or for good), CONTACT ME AND I WILL MAKE IT SO. Otherwise, I am assuming any PUBLIC reveal (main chan, CFO post, a name in a userinfo) is fair game!

8:32pm: Jeez, I go out of town for ONE WEEKEND and suddenly ALL THE COOL PEOPLE VISIT. If this happens again when I visit Rose and Biz for Halloween, I'll have to suspect a conspiracy.

11:13pm: BPAL reviews!
I AM SO BACKLOGGED. This is the order before the order before last, and I think it was was placed back sometime in January or so.

( Baobhan Sith, Intrigue, Blood Kiss, Akuma, Yew-Trees, New Orleans, Malice, Undertow, and Snake Oil. )

And now, a story about being ADD. After dinner, I put some Tombstone on my wrists and chest, because I like how it smells. A few hours later, I noticed that the scent on my wrists is just about gone, so I put some Delphi on my hands, because I like how it smells and then I could add it to my reviews in this post. Which is all good, but... the Tombstone on my chest hadn't really gone away. Then I couldn't remember what Baobhan Sith smelled like, so I put some on my shin to smell it. So now we've got three distinct scents going on here on my body - and then I wanted to smell Intrigue. My nose kind of hurts now....

NEXT REVIEWS POST: White Rabbit, O, Shango, Port Royal, Bess, Delphi, Dragon's Hide, Bon Vivant.

11:26am: MY LIFE LATELY HAS BEEN FAIL. I am announcing this in all-caps because it is the tl;dr summary of the post, and most of you are going to skim the rest of it anyway.

All I've been doing lately is going to work and coming home, where I sit curled up at the computer and play Spider Solitare and read CFUD, and it sucks and I don't like it but it's easier than doing anything else so it isn't gonna change. I'm looking forward to Otakon, it'll be nice to interact with people who aren't family, coworkers, customers, or my mom's friends (who all want to tell me how responsible I am).

Things that don't suck:
# BPAL! I'll be posting some reviews soon.
# I've been employed more than a year, longer than anywhere else ever. Trippy, but cool.
# I reread the entire Temeraire series of books, by Naomi Novik. Man, they're so awesome, I love her characters and her world-building and her just about everything ever.
# Saw the new Star Trek movie; was charmed and entertained. Haven't explored fandom much beyond fic recs from friendsfriends, but the recced fic was very good!
# Speaking of work, I had a customer the other day who told me very sincerely that the power companies were poisoning the earth and that they caused 9/11. Everyone knows that was a set-up, he ranted, and I seemed like a nice young woman who doesn't take any crap, could I please pass the word along? And so I am, because that's the most hilarious bullshit I've heard in AGES.

Other updates to come later, maybe/hopefully/possibly.

4:47pm: IT ARE MY BIRFDAYS. I am celebrating by drinking (started with mojitos, went to beer), playing with makeup, and uploading music.

This has been one of my favorite songs for as long as I can remember. I wore out a tape of "Here Comes Rhymin' Simon" in my little kitty-cat tape player because I rewound and listened to the first song again and again and again.... And I want to share it with y'all now. Paul Simon - Kodachrome

PS, SRS POLL: What was your first favorite song? (Uploads are optional but, if you're able...)

11:17am: This weekend, I'm going to have FOUR DAYS OFF in a ROW. And three of those are because the store will be C-L-O-S-E-D CLOSED, so I don't even have to be sad about missing stuff! Man, I've been working five and six day weeks for so long, I won't even know what to do with myself for all that time.


...no, seriously. I have no idea what I'm doing this weekend.
Everyone at work keeps asking if I'm doing something for my birthday, and I'm like ":???" I might try to drag mom to Star Trek, if the theaters are empty enough for her throat-clearing not to disturb people, and I'll probably go to the mall at some point, and I should see what's happening about the dinner with Fanime people, but that's not much for four days, is it? And I don't want to sit around the house the whole time, since that's what I USUALLY do on my day off, but... what do people usually do on a long holiday weekend?

12:32am: I wasn't going to get a Dreamwidth - blahblah i already never update blahblah abandoning my history here blahblah i am PANTS at naming - but then I did. Anyway! The point is, does anyone still need an invite code? I've got two, up for grabs.

PS this can also be the post where you link me to your journal if you want me to friend you over there!

12:03am: Um, hi. So. I'm not dead!

There's two main reasons why I haven't been posting. First of all, work has really picked up. I've been working six days a week more often than not (although it's only five or six hour days). My boss is full of praise for me! Which would be even nicer if she wasn't also full of subtle criticisms of my coworkers.... Makes me wonder what she says about ME behind my back.

Second of all, my homelife has turned into kind of a constant level of suck and lame, for reasons I don't want to talk about because I'd feel like a whiner. So that makes it hard to come up with much to say!

So yeah, that's what's been going on with me. I'm alive, I'm in good health, the cats are fine, and all that. Emotionally it's a bit wobbly, but... *handwave handwave* I'm not dead! And I'll try to make a better post later, I've got puppy pictures from when I was petsitting last month to share.

9:22pm: ( That 65-question meme! )

1:35pm: I think I'm allergic to my job.

8:56pm: It's that time of year~
My cat just shed half her bodyweight in fur all over my nice work slacks.

In other news, yesterday was my LJ-anniversary! I have now spent SEVEN YEARS not knowing what to do with this journal!

PARTY TIME \o/

7:39pm: Things that hurt: ear piercings. I just added a new hole to my ear, and while the actual piercing hurt surprisingly little, now it's getting red and ouchy. :( IT WAS WORTH IT, THOUGH. I hope I didn't go too close to the edge of the ear, it'd suck to have to start over.

11:12am: Dear Livejournal,

I had a fabulous time on my Spring Break Vacation. Together with Vampy and her friend Susana, we ate lots of delicious seafood, explored the important areas of Gulf Shores, Alabama (the beach and the outlet mall), and I found true love at last with a charming young alligator. I apologize for not writing sooner, but Al and I just got back from our swingin' honeymoon.

Gotta go - longer letter later!

Love, Telly

PS Happy April Fool's Day.

1:24am: I don't really like traveling. It's uncomfortable, expensive, stressful, and involves a lot of decision-making and planning out fine details. But I do like visiting people! Especially internets people, since an embarrassing amount of my social interaction takes place on the computer. So, since not nearly enough people are willing to come visit ME (or they will but not as frequent I'd like)... Muhammad goes to the mountain.

(Besides, I always have fun once I get there - I had a blast at AX last year! It's just the setup that gets me.)

Which is to say, I just bought plane tickets to go to Baltimore for Otakon this July - which I'm not going to worry about! until at least May! - and I'm leaving Friday to spend five days abusing vampychick's Fine Southern Hospitality. I am EXCITED! And nervous, and stressed, and obsessing over fine details and checking the weather report several times a day.... but overall, I'm excited! It'll be great to see Vampy again, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the South and stealing her kitten, shh.

WISH ME LUCK?! PS COME VISIT NORCAL
