So, Gale came to visit.

Old family friend, haven't seen her in F O R E V E R ! so this was a big deal. More to say about her, but only with permission, so she has to POST. *nodnodnod*

Anyway, made a limey beef, very good, could've had some more pepper, though. *ducks* I really am getting the hang of this cooking thing. Ana, unfortunately, really wanted to eat real food today, so she was cranky all through the dinner because we wouldn't let her have any. Poor baby.

Also, I've decided, I need to either transfer out of BC or start lying. EVERYONE my mom knows went there. Gale's mom asked, and then immediately started singing

B is for the B in Brooklyn College...
R is for the R in Brooklyn College...

Very annoying. Especially as she stopped there, so I don't even know what the other letters stand for!

And she wore too much perfume, of course. Luckily *she* left early, so I just went outside for a bit to let it wear out of my system. Gale went with me, so I wasn't even being anti-social! Yay! I do have to deal with her mom, though... she's one of the few people left who calls Jenn Ginger. Can't kill her off. *sighs*

Anyway, this has been the posting of a crazy person. Your regular Connie will be back shortly. I leave you with this note:

DESPITE WHAT THE IDIOTS AT THE FERRY TERMINAL SEEM TO THINK, MOMENTARILY DOES NOT MEAN "IN A MOMENT". IT MEANS, RATHER, "FOR A VERY SHORT TIME".

So when the ferry is loading "momentarily", what they mean is the door is closing a second after it opens.

*nods*

Thank you and good night!

Time for me to blatantly beg for stuff!

Someone I know has a usericon with the scene from one of the recent sinfest strips, where the devil is sitting in his booth, the sign saying "Just doing my God-given duty", and I *so* seriously want a shirt like that. Well, they don't have that (though I'll suggest it, of course!), but I did see a few shirts I can get and would like...

( Cut for your convenience )

I don't, of course, expect to get any of these, but when youse guys all start looking for crissie pressies and bday gifts, remember me! Or if I get a job... Jenn, send over my resume and the job search we did, pronto.

Oh, and xiggs, don't worry about gifting me, the icons are more than enough, this is your reminder:

I want one like the "I'm not handicapped, just lazy" one, but maybe with a dif. symbol, not the handicapped one....


(edit) Lore Comics has shirts, but none of my favorite strips... I must remedy that....

Well, this one is okay...

But I want this one on a shirt!

Willow?

You are

Willow Rosenberg

"I don't get wild. Wild on me equals spaz."

What "Buffy" Character Are You?

Don't get me wrong, I *like* Willow, she's seriously cool (especially both evil Willows....) but... I don't know, I'm WILLOW?

So, I saw Elise-down-the-block today...

Cute li'l 10 year old kid (I think 10... might be mistaken). Well, she no longer lives down the block, but anyway.

*laughs* Her friend mentioned, in passing, that there were two (shockshock) lesbians on our block. Well, I say, of course, there's nothing WRONG with that.

"What... are you gay?" Gotta love the junior high mindset. Apparently, though, being gay is wrong because it's just so icky. Nevermind that, frankly, at that age, all sex is, or should be, icky, gay sex is just really icky. Because, y'know, sometimes they tongue kiss.

So I used my patented "It's kinda like being a lefty" speech on her, which makes the point without giving any details at all (I don't care how many books your parents bought you, Leessy, I'm not spilling the beans to you and your friends myself, 'k?) and that shut her up pretty much, allowing me to go on my merry way to see Ana. *nodnodnod*

And do you know, 'dul forgot the book? Mommy's not gonna be happy....

More scary news!

Patriot act...

I'm not sure what to believe here. I do, of course, love that library sign "The FBI has not been here... _{watch very carefully for removal of this sign}", but I'm not so sure that big government really would bother getting involved in petty crime... or that it would be held up is smaller governments used the patriot act as a defense for abandoning the constitution. Furthermore, though I've read a lot about what *could* happen, I haven't read much about anything actually, y'know, happening. Oh, a few things about people being visited by the FBI, but nobody got arrested or anything... *sighs* Well, more thoughts forthcoming... from you, I hope.

All my patriot act ranting reminded me...

Saw this in a tabloid. Apparently, Osama bin Ladin's cronies have cloned Hitler. This could, of course, prove disastrous for us (the US).

( *waits for the laughter to die down* )

Seriously....

Once I do this whole "getting a job" thing, I have got to pay for 1. more paid account time and 2. more userpics. I'm in love with userpics. Truly pathetic, but did you know how many Daniel Jackson/Willow/Xander/etc. ones there are out there?

*dies*

Incidentally, the one I'm using right now will be modified most likely by Xiggy, pending permission from the creator or a lack of caring by me.

This is just a blatant attempt to use yet another userpic...

And one that is ohsotrue for me. Xiggs made it. *huggles*

Here's the price range for userpics:

$10 USD for 12 months
$6 USD for 6 months
$2 USD for 2 months


Remember, also, it's

$25 USD for 12 months
$15 USD for 6 months
$5 USD for 2 months

to buy a paid account. So a year of paid account with pics is only $35. Wow. As crissie pressies go, that's a *lot* cheaper than a laptop, eh?
