Sound bites

*Anj is starting to post her Azumanga Daioh fic to the azumangafanfiction yahoo!group. Anyone who's interested can check it out there, or I'll find her html link when she puts it on her website. It's a very good/cute/fun fic.

*Attempted quick Japanese food tonight. The little individual serving noodle/soup thing I got from the frozen section turned out too mushy again. Tried to to a teriyaki salmon fillet that was ok, would have been good if I hadn't overcooked it. Am discovering I don't quite like barbequed eel as much as I thought I did--I like what I've gotten as a bit of sushi at a Japanese restaurant, but something about what I bought at Aki's I just don't like the flavor of. And did frozen croquettes--potato/curry is ok, the pumkin squash is rather interesting, and potato/mixed vegetable is really keen. Would have been better if I hadn't overcooked them. Eh.

*Mood: I'm working on it. Parts are improving, parts I'm setting off to the side for ignoring now and dealing with later. *does the 'set off to the side' hand gestures ala Kero*

*Other status: Exceptionally tired, fighting a sinus headache that's been persisting since somewhere last night (been getting these a lot the past month or so). Least I don't get migraines like Anj--she had a violent one yesterday.

*I miss Nix. *sighs*

*Is colder other places, but can't help but think it's fricking chilly here. It got to the teens today, and will be around -10 tonight. They say it might stay below 0 all day tomorrow. But then it warms up over the weekend, so we'll deal. Got a bit more snow this am, but it will probably be gone soon. I'm actually rather glad to see some cold and snow/ice--that sort of thing is *normal* for here in winter. I'd rather see normal than mildness, at least to soothe my global warming/climatic shifts worries.

*Because Anj was ill yesterday, Michael was gone, and James and Sheldon were working on computer projects for Olive Crest (Michael's church), I ended up entering all the newsletter for posting to the web myself. Go me. (Too bad Gina and Les never show up anymore to help with that...ah well, wasn't too late of a night, anyway).

*Thought about my to-do list, and it made me want to hyperventilate. Sometimes I don't know how people keep up with normal life, yet still write/draw/create, plus keep a clean house that's actually unpacked and settled into.

*Gah. Need more motrin. Thinking of to-do's and issues is making me twitch. Think I need to crash and just avoid for a while. But before I do, *quick extra hugs* to those I've been leaning on recently.e

I think my biggest issue with you lately, is that I haven't been able to speak to you or comment on your journal as much as I'd like. I've been in my own somewhat anti-social rut. I think we could both use a good pickup, even if it's just temporary. Give me a good time and day to call you yeah? I think we both need a very good laugh. =)

God, I know--I've been very, very bad about being 'present' for my friends. I want to hang out, yet I avoid AIM or I only get on to talk to Nix. What the hell's wrong with me like that? I dunno, I think sometimes it's because I get overwhelmed when I see so many IMs, but don't have the guts to ask people to pile into group chats. Yeah, I may not multitask well, but it's my problem of not finding a way around that. And someone like you deserves more than someone who won't keep in contact with you well. So many apologies, please forgive me that.

Awww, but man...that's so cool of you to offer. I've had your phone number and never gotten off my ass to call, have I? Gah. Let me figure out a good time--I prefer to do calls when James is not around, as otherwise I get no privacy. And even if I'm talking no big deal stuff, I feel more relaxed if I'm not self conscious about someone listening in (and potentially questioning me or getting worked up at something I say--sometimes I don't want to have to explain everything... ^^;; )

Anyhoo, enough of that--gimme a chance to see if he's off at an Ampguard event like this weekend, and see if it matches your schedule. Then I just have to keep myself from hitting another bad antisocial funk whatever day we set up. ^^; (This has happened, and I piss me off when I do that :p )

*hugs* Take care of yourself, 'kay?

Me too, I get so lonely but I just end up avoiding everybody.

Totally understandable. I'd probably scare him. My randomness makes people think I'm CRAZY. Ha ha, can you believe that? Fjord cartrain. I mean really.

I'll try to counter act any antisocial funks either of us hit. Preferably with a tire iron, but I'll come up with something less painful.

*extrahugs* You understand exactly what I've been feeling. Very exactly. *nods*

Anyway, looks like I can do phone call stuff without fear of being listened in on either tomorrow (Sunday) between 1-3pm Central, or Monday night after 9pm Central, or Tuesday night between 7-10pm Central. Dunno which of those would work for you, but maybe the Monday or Tuesday night ones? I've been having to work my a@@ off on chores stuff here today, and would really love to get to focus on doing some hiragana tomorrow and/or getting some needed shopping done (my jeans are dying, my jeans are dying!). But if Monday or Tuesday won't work for a call, I'll make sure to be around tomorrow afternoon.

And you sure you wanna do the calling? I could call you, since I don't wanna break your budget or anything. I have a good long distance thing anyway that gets me 5cents/minute. But whichever way works for me. It'll just be cool to get to talk for real. :)

Gotta scoot for now, more to do--but will catchya in the next few days, hopefully. Take care,

Monday or Tuesday for sure. XD
Those are my days off.

*buries your jeans. plays taps*

I have calling cards! =D
I think, gotta find out which ones I have left.

Re:

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

Ah good. Glad those will work--I was worrying that today would have been the only day. And if you have calling cards, that's dandy, but seriously, just let me know if you want me to foot the bill and call. I can do that.

I gotta figure out when I can actually get out and buy new jeans tho. Damned DnD game. Gah.
