I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

Happy birthday kindness_says and pirateygoodness!



True story: I sometimes forget that not everything is a phone. Pretty regularly, I'll be looking for something (most recently my earmuffs) and think, "I know, I'll just call it." And that seems like a really good idea until I remember that you can't actually call something if it's not a phone.

Basically what I'm saying is, why isn't everything a phone? I'M COLD AND I JUST WANT MY EARMUFFS OKAY.

WAIT DO OTHER COUNTRIES NOT HAVE FAIRY BREAD? SERIOUSLY IF YOU HAVE NOT GROWN UP WITH THIS AMAZINGNESS IDEK WHAT TO SAY TO YOU, HOW HAVE YOU EVEN LIVED. (Things I love about being a teacher #27: I have eaten fairy bread recently.)

In other news, I went to work and then ran errands on my way home AND still went to the gym before dinner, I would like my Adult Human achievement badge now kthxbai.

Also am celebrating Valentine's Day by buying comics and watching D.E.B.S. and Princess Protection Program and drinking, like, a lot, it is super amazing.

Today, I wrote two pinch hits, and started in on a Yuletide treat. I choose to think of this as being really, really excited, rather than out of my mind.

Also, it is now - for me, at least - less than twenty-fours hours until Christmas. (And a little more than thirty-six hours until the yuletide archive opens, if all goes well - I'm pretty sure I'm equally excited for both.) And ... I have a tree, and it is decorated, and I have presents, and they are wrapped and under the tree, and we have alcohol and food and ... more alcohol, I feel as if I'm actually ready for this holiday.

In case I don't get a chance to say it tomorrow (or, well, officially tomorrow, since it's after midnight), happy holidays of your choice to my friends list, I hope you have an awesome December, and I really love you guys ♥ ♥

Turned on the TV tonight, and remembered why I never bother watching it any more. Channel Ten is currently airing The Office ... season three. At midnight on a Sunday. Before that, they also had an episode of The Daily Show - that already aired in New Zealand over a week ago.

So, we're really up to date, here.

Also, based on ads we saw while watching:

Channel Ten supports animals, children, beaches, Christmas, life, and Channel Ten.

Channel Ten is against alcohol, depression, diabetes, cancer, and AIDS.

Just in case, y'know, you weren't sure that life is good and cancer is bad. Well, now you do.

Note to self:

STOP WATCHING HEROES FANVIDS and finish your frakking 12 Days Of Teyla fic, which is due, like, now. Seriously. Write.

Okay?

... okay.

I'm feeling really misanthropic right now. Blah. I really shouldn't go on message boards, like, ever; in small doses, they're okay, but too much and I start to realise that I don't really like people. Add in that it's 5am, my sleeping patterns are whacked, I've basically eaten crap today, I still need to email my dad and buy plane tickets for next weekend I can't afford right now, and I've finished reading the book series I was really enjoying, and I feel ... ick. I was in a good mood earlier, too.

Oh, well. I think I might reread The Immortal Prince and The Gods Of Amyrantha, and I'd really like to write, but I have a feeling I might have to sleep first. In fact, sleep is usually a good solution to 90% of my groundless mood problems, but I still have to talk myself into it, because apparently I'm five.

Current obsession: music video mash-ups. They're hilarious, and very awesome.

Avril Lavigne vs The Ramones (Sedated Girlfriend)

UNK vs Avril Lavigne vs Toni Basil (Walkin' Out Yo Girlfriend)

Eminem vs The Cure (Friday I'm Superman)

The Police vs Snow Patrol (Every Car You Chase)

The Eurythmics vs The White Stripes (Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Seven Nation Army)

And an actual song that isn't really a mash-up, but is close (and I love it, so it gets included):

U2 & Green Day (The Saints Are Coming)

Also, I changed my layout. Not sure if I'm going to keep it yet, but I'll see. Credit goes to killcolor.

I've been watching a lot of movies in the past couple of days, and I've come to two conclusions:

John Travolta is was seriously hot. Seriously, seriously hot. Fuck.

Resident Evil is an awesome movie. I put it on for one reason - Michelle Rodriguez, aka. the woman for whom I would gladly forsake all others (sorry, Jeremy). I had no idea it also starred James "fuck me now" Purefoy and Eric "Dean Hess" Mabius, but both were pleasant surprises. I love movies.

Today was either really good or really bad, and I can't tell which. The bad was that I was sick, and couldn't go home because we're woefully understaffed, nobody could come in to cover my shift, the place was a mess and we had a million things to do (a massive hailstorm meant that the store didn't open at all yesterday), and one of our big bosses is coming in at 9am tomorrow - and he's not happy with us. I finally got to go home 45 minutes before my shift would have ended anyway, which is kinda pathetic.

The good is that one of my friends came into the store (and bought shoes), and it was really great to be able to talk to him; and I got to park all day in the city for free.

So, yeah. I think I'll go watch some more videos (if only I had that one with James Purefoy and Piper Perabo ...)

Also, please guess my song meme. It's halfway done :D

Yay!! Seriously, whoever sent me the valentine, thank you!! ilu totally <3

Lacking anything more substantial to say (or perhaps just the concentration necessary to get too many words down in the right order; it's been a while since I've slept), I just thought I'd say that this is one of my favourite webcomic strips of all time. Not that I'm, y'know, biased or anything :P
