I really need to just own all the games. That seems reasonable.

2013-12-18T00:10:53Z

Nobody chose anything for today so I just went to a random topic generator to pick something to ramble about for a bit, and I figure that's what I'll do for any of the empty days I have. There's plenty of dates still open if anyone wants to suggest a topic, though!

Anyway, I got, "What is your favorite board game (or card game)?" as my prompt, which is amusing, because I have quite the collection of board games (though admittedly they are in another state at the moment.) Cranium was always a hell of a lot of fun, and resulted in things like my mom shouting out, "Atari!" when I was acting out Dance Dance Revolution. This led to the incredulous question of, "Atari?! What decade do you think you're in?" Also: "What's a name for a person on a stick?" / "Jesus!" (Scarecrow. The answer was scarecrow.)

Apples to Apples is another awesome one, especially since my mom goes all used car salesman during her pitches. You just can't trust a lollipop! Also, I enjoy pandering hardcore to the judge. I remember one time the green card was "delightful" or something along those lines, very positive, and Kelly was judging. I had a Choose Your Own red card and laid it down with a flourish: "CALIFORNIA!" I won that round, of course. =P

Rummy will always be one of those card games I hold dear to my heart. It's definitely a family tradition, that game.

I'm hoping to get into some new games. We (that is, the Iowa group, aka like 40% of M*A*S*H fandom) are thinking Cards Against Humanity is a thing we need, and I predict when/if that happens, it's going to result in hilarity. I also kinda want this game out there called Evil Baby Orphanage, which aside from having a hilarious name, just sounds fun. Oh! And Story War. I've seen videos of that--it looks awesome.

Gah, this was bad. Now I'm thinking about all the other board and card games I really want to own and yet don't, like The Resistance, Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert...

BAD SELF, NO COOKIE.*

(*That is a lie. I can have all the cookies I want. 'Cause I'm a grownup.)

ETA: I MADE A TERRIBLE, GLARING OVERSIGHT: Rails! Definitely high up on the list. I don't think it's for everybody, but I just adore it, in all its time-consuming, nerdy glory. And I will always thank idk my bff Abigail for introducing it to me. XD

Because it'd be nice to post more.

Topic open house for ~~December~~ the next thirty days, because I didn't start on time.

Pick a date below and give me a topic, and I'll ramble on. It can be anything you want; personal, political, fandom, reading, you name it.

( Dates. )

Geena and I are fucking awesome, okay?

Hey, a post where I'm sober!

2013-07-31T21:46:59Z

It occurred to me that I should actually post something here that ISN'T, in fact, a drunk post, so here I am.

( Stuff about me. )

In conclusion, have some pictures.

( Oh, Geena. )

I think that about sums it up!

A friend, gamesiplay (also known as Leigh) is looking for a roommate in San Francisco.

In her words:

But if you need a quick blurb: quiet, clean, responsible, open-minded, queer-friendly, very easygoing late-twenties female employed full-time in a supervisory position, plus friendly medium-sized dog, seeking a studio/in-law/SRO/private room in San Francisco for not much more than $1000/month, proximity to downtown (read: neighborhoods near Market Street) strongly preferred, move-in date August 1st or later.

Leigh is totally awesome. Please link and share if you can. :D

Oh my goooood.

I AM SO DRUNK RN

So. Drunk.

We're celebrating Geena's birthday.

And I am super drunk. So is she. Kelly is being tolerantly amused by us, I think, idk.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU

And I mean that, I promise.

Just one of those things where I have to be drunk to say it.

Lol, me. So fucked up.

:D

Yay.

My kitties are sleeping on me. <3

Oh.

2013-05-03T04:49:39Z

I am kinda drunk.

I have the best friends ever.

This is hard to comprehend.

I wish I were a better human being.

I love you guys.

(P.S. Making Russell Crowe sing with Hugh Jackman is just mean.)

Okay.

2013-04-25T01:52:59Z

Thanks to a variety of people, including my aunt and Kelly's friend Faith, the money aspect was secured. I managed to get a hold of my former roommate, A.J., and he agreed to drive me from Toledo (I'd pay for gas, obv.) After some finagling (Scott and Lee are the biggest flakes, I swear to god) I got my mom to drive me from Akron to the storage unit, where we met him.

So I am finally on my way, heading out to Iowa as I type this. We should get there sometime around four in the morning.

I just. So fucking relieved.

Fuck.

The wedding and other stories.

Sitting in the Ft. Lauderdale airport, waiting for our plane. We've got a little while--plane doesn't leave until 11:30, and it's only 9:45 now, as I start typing this.

( Stuff that happened. )

And that brings us to this morning. It's now about 10:20, which means we should board in about 30 minutes if they didn't lie to us.

Adios!

"These are children, not opportunities for bad puns!"

So at work, when people slide their cards, usually the name pops up on my screen (possibly because my store thinks it somehow wouldn't be creepy to thank them by name.) I don't really pay attention unless it's something amusing, like J. Potter or Johnny Green.

Today I got the best one yet, I shit you not:

PERRY WINKLE.

I almost choked trying not to laugh.

In other news, I am super bored, and my brain is not working. I really need to work on my CBB, but the only characters even kind of talking are PoI characters. Who said this stupid show was allowed to eat my brain?!

Come to think of it, I am hearing distant rumbles from my TSFBS crowd. Will have to poke at some of my in progress stories and see if anything happens.

This has been a pointless post. You may now return to your regularly scheduled flist.

comments

I still need a PoI icon.

2013-03-19T02:21:23Z

So this PoI fic I'm writing is preeeeetty much turning into HERE JUST HAVE ALL OF MY FEELINGS: The Story. It is ridiculous. (Alternate subtitles include: 'John Reese's Complete and Utter Lack of Self-Worth: The Story' and 'Harold Finch's Massive and Unending Guilt Complex: The Story.' So, you know: fun!)

Have a snippet:

( Seriously, all of my feelings, just all of them. )

In other news, I love whenever we have to close one of the self-checkout lanes at work. The light will be off, the indicator will be red, the screen will have a large red circle on it with the words LANE CLOSED right above it, there will be a basket over the scanner...and still no less than ten people will try to use it. Of course.

It is kind of funny when people look at me like I'm magic because I happen to know a produce code off the top of my head, though.

Okay, well, off to write some more. And/or watch Gilmore Girls, one of the two, maybe both.

comments

Lists are fun.

2013-03-16T04:05:04Z

A list of things:

( Things! In list form! )

Okay, off to do some writing sprints with Kelly and/or perhaps find something else to watch with them.

Alas.

2013-02-21T05:26:39Z

At least I can cuddle my kitties.

5) Don/Cosmo/Kathy = one of the best OT3s ever. *also squishes them*

6) British TV is awesome.

7) The internet is my favorite.

8) This couch is comfy.

9) Seriously, I do not want to leave.

10) Best. Friends. EVER.

Stuff and whatnot.

2013-02-14T13:38:19Z

Uuugh, Bad Religion, I fucking love you.

Their new album is great, and I'm especially taken by "Robin Hood in Reverse" which is basically, "fuck you, Supreme Court and Citizens United" and also "Land of Endless Greed" which is "fuck you, oblivious one-percenters."

Have a couple uploads!

( Music. )

In other news, CABIN PRESSURE HOW COULD YOU END THERE? Bah, so excellent, though. I JUST NEED MORE.

Okay. Gonna try to write. Will probably actually end up reading Jeeves/Bertie fic, but such is life.

P.S. Happy valentine's day! (Literally almost forgot until I typo'ed in my tags and it popped up, lol.)

Query.

2013-02-09T09:10:02Z

Would anyone on my flist who watches Person of Interest and has seen the latest ep ("One Percent") care to beta a ~500 word John/Harold ficlet for me?

comments

Just a post of things.

2013-02-05T09:37:16Z

BRITISH TV I HATE YOU HOW COULD YOU END THE SHOW THERE?!

Not. Cool. Not cool at all!

(I have been watching the show Kingdom because of reasons. Said reasons basically amount to me being on a 'let's watch random British television' kick, with bonus points if it includes Stephen Fry in some capacity, and also it happened to oh-so-conveniently be on Netflix. And the damn thing ended on a total cliffhanger.)

Oh well. At least it gave me Stephen Fry's most excellent "straight people are WEIRD" face. I will treasure that. XD

( Related Uncomfortable Things and so forth. )

Anyway, in other, better, brighter news, I am visiting Kelly and Geena in a week! Oh god, I can't wait. Why is it not the twelfth yet? Screw the linear progression of time. I NEED TO BE IN IOWA RIGHT THIS SECOND.

(Sharon: Why are you going to Iowa? / Me: Because I just really, really love corn and I want to see a lot of it all at once.)

It's been snowing a lot here, which is bleh. Snow, we had a deal. You come for December. You stay three weeks, maybe a month. I know you showed up late, but that's no excuse for this nonsense. You have overstayed your welcome. Leave now. It's just awkward, seriously.

( Writing and big bangs. )

I think that might be all I have to say for now. Back to trawling for more British TV to enrage me and/or break my heart!
