As I'm trying to type this, Missy is calmly strolling across my chest and is trying to make herself comfy.I am sitting up. I disagree with her course of action. Ow.

So today I decide to stop at the grocery store and ended up buying four items. These items all had a specific meaning and purpose:

Cheese popcorn -- to eat this weekend while I have a Dead Zone marathon. Hee!

Cookies -- so I can feel like a true member of the Dark Side.

Alfredo sauce -- so I can swirl my noodles around and cackle, yet feel semi-classy, while reading my collection of books on the occult tonight.

Wine -- see above...and that particular brand is an avid LGBT supporter.

Yeeees...it's all coming together now...

So I have been a tad busy lately and writing has fallen by the wayside. There has been house-hunting, my first week of online classes, many visits with my uncle, and I joined a writer's group (which seems like it's going to be a blast). I have been trying to write, but I don't think anything serious will happen until tomorrow...provided I can buy coffee creamer. COFFEE OR DEATH!


( So...on a childfree note... )

I've decided I envy everyone who discovered their passion early and figured out what they wanted to do. I've really only discovered what I don't won't to do. Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work too well when you're trying to figure out what you want to do.

Still, I figure flitting from idea to idea is still a lot better than resigning yourself to just any old job, right? Right?

Don't get me wrong: I love my current job, and I plan on working there until I move in about four or five years. This job has definitely taught me what I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing, though. I love the challenge, problem solving, and flexibility, but the core of the job definitely clashes with my personal philosophies...and is not a job for someone who started off as rather cynical about people.

...one day I'll say screw it all and start an occult bookstore. Missy will definitely add to the atmosphere...if I don't kill her first.

When people quote something that was written centuries ago as justification for their beliefs and actions without taking the time to put it in the original cultural context. You cannot take something from one time and culture and expect to neatly use it with your own cultural structure, especially if you show no understanding that there's a huge difference.

If nothing else, if you're going to form your belief system around something, wouldn't you want to take the time to really understand it, anyway?

Now I'm off to take more headache meds. Meh.

So I was happily chattering to my neighbor about the Avengers movie, something I'm planning on watching again tomorrow. And possibly write yet more fic. Possibly this time with plot. But anyway.

So she mentions her son has a ton of movies and she decides to contact him about the Avengers. His response? Well, he has the Avengers XXX. He asks who the movie is for, and she tells him that I liked the Avengers. His response?

He'll bring out the porn then.

What the hell has this woman been telling him about me???

Also, torturing Tony is about as fun as torturing Cloud. Dina was the one who pointed that out. Blame any future Tony torture on Dina.

And that's all I can think of right now. If you disagree with any of the above, that's perfectly fine. This is just my internal canon. :)

So many belief systems, don't you think?

Could just be me, though.

All of these links are intended with good humor, so you worship your spaghetti monster and let me worship my mildly psychopathic heroes, hmm?

Multitude of links brought to you by too many days of insomnia.

I'm up early! Yay! ...why did I want up early?

All I've seen this past weekend is Giftmas stuff. IT'S STILL TOO EARLY! IT'S STILL TOO EARLY! FUCK, IT'S TOO FUCKING EARLY FOR THIS SHIT!

Normally, I hate getting my hair cut. It ranks above clothes shopping, even, as I don't need to take off my glasses and be blind while clothes shopping. Today, though, it went well. Why, you ask? Because for the first half of the haircut we discussed zombies and what is necessary to buy in the case of the apocalypse.

Yes. There was a large tip involved. :D
