Busy, letting things get by me lately. ^^; I keep meaning to post for-real stuff, but wah, I am distractable.  But to sum up--got over the cold, vet bill since Crystal-cat needed her yearly vaccines/bloodwork (still doing oddly well at 23+, but needed yet another med, this one to aid liver function), clogged kitchen sink that turned into an $800 plumbling repair, monster chiller horror headache that ranks among my top 5, and my yearly visit to my allergist in which I didn't make it into a drug trial but did get switched to a new antihistimine (awesome, because Singulair obviously has done jack squat for me this past year.). I think that's most everything. o_O  Going to be doing dinner with my Dad/stepmother this week. And oh, my brother had one of his short stories from his MFA published in an online journal, which is pretty fucking amazing, imo.

Also, a belated thank you thank you to [livejournal.com profile] cackling_madly for the virtual jellybeans :D *hugs*

Uuuugh, I have to renew my drivers license in the next couple months. Pain in the aaaaaaaaaaass. >P

*So many thank yous to [livejournal.com profile] zuben_eschamali for the virtual Jelly Beans :D That is so absolutely cute, and tickles me greatly. ♥ *hugs*!

*Managed to make it two whole months before I got another cold. ^^; My immune system is full of failings. Horribly queasy earlier today, not sure if it's related. Attempted soup for dinner (dry toast at lunch was so bleh :x but did help settle things).

*Guild got a first kill on Heroic Magmaw the other night. Peeked in on Heroic Omnitron and that fight looks...interesting, in which interesting translates to 'a pain in the butt'. Wondering how far we'll progress before Firelands goes live (it'll be awhile, I'm sure, since there was just a major patch, just pondering since it is on the horizon.)

*[livejournal.com profile] paxlux is my squishy ♥ And [livejournal.com profile] silverraven is a lovely, wonderful person. ^____^

*Community. Community. I just. This shoooooow. \o/ Still working on 1st season, but still. I honestly don't feel the pull to read fic, but I'm adoring the show and love the graphics and gifs I'm seeing. Reminds me how I was with Avatar: The Last Airbender, where I fanned the show simply in and of itself. And amazing how something some label as just a comedy could hit me with a quote that truly rocked me--see the tumblr post I made after seeing the s1 episode, Beginning Pottery, this afternoon (beware the rest of my tumblr, though, there are some SPN spoilers there).

ehhhhh.

I think I have managed to sleep away 95% of today. :/ At least I made a crockpot ham and bean soup, so I wasn't totally useless. I think it's actually annoyed the cats that I've been taking their spots on the couch so much.

Didn't have to concern myself with whether to go outside to look at the supermoon, since naturally here it's cloudy. Way to go, Nebräska.

One of these days when I get to feeling normal, I really need to see if the used game store has any copies of Twilight Princess or Animal Crossing (the Wii one's City Folk, I think?).

Why do I still have my Omaha Public Schools Drivers Education Certificate card (dated 7-16-90) in my wallet? Why have I been keeping this? Why have I been switching it from wallet to wallet for nearly twenty-one years? Self, whyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Anyway. Mostly sleeping, with occasional bouts of checking email/LJ/Tumblr. Cold-thing is starting to improve, but so tiiiiiiiired.

Speaking of Tumblr, is there anyone's out there that I'm missing? My fan one's still http://thingswhatareawesome.tumblr.com/ (and my WoW screenshot one's http://livingflame.tumblr.com/ though it needs updating). The fan one's just like here--focused on Jared, Sam, Wincest, J2, and SPN in general, with occasional reblogs of food, music, games, anime, characters/pairings about which I still get nostalgic, and other stuff that makes me geek out. P.S. for those who still don't know, Tumblr has no LJ cuts except for plain text--THERE ARE SPOILERS THERE. Don't go looking if you don't like.

Made a root beer float earlier (for entirely medicinal purposes, of course), and it's [livejournal.com profile] paxlux's fault.

Was going to do a voice post of some Irish poet to mark the day, but the cold's totally fucked my voice, so I'll give that a pass, I guess. Happy St.Patrick's Day anyway. http://pusheen.tumblr.com/post/3913523926 Have a cute and yet appropriate-ish gif. (No beer for me, though, green or otherwise--tea, perhaps.)

[livejournal.com profile] ormolu did a post "A musing on geek culture" (http://ormolu.livejournal.com/579655.html ) that expresses perfectly issues I've had with being a female geek. After all, you think male geek, you don't think "must be sexy", right? So why's it like that for girls/women? As she says But still, it's annoying and indicative of a larger problem. Even in our own geek culture, we geek girls must fight to be seen as people first and foremost.

Ooooor it could be that I've gotten a cold. Yeeha and awesome.


I can't help it; I still think this kid is awesome.

I already felt such heartache for different places in the world, and now it's just heartbreaking. Reading the news, I just feel worried sick. I don't know what to make of it.

On a much, much more shallow note, honestly, fandom, why do you not have more top!Dean/bottom!Sam and top!Jensen/bottom!Jared fics. Grr. Same for more sick/hurt!Sam and sick/hurt!Jared fics. Especially ones where people actually remember the c part of h/c. The world needs way more good sick!Jared and sick!Sam fics. And by that I mean fics I don't have to write, because I can't write jack or shit anymore. Wharrgarbl.

Dealing with a cold the last few days, been extremely tired and thus have been doing close to nothing. Also it's messed with my sleep schedule, which is probably obvious. Lucky that there was nothing social scheduled this weekend.

Due to a comment on a thread at that spn poetry community, was introduced to the concept of erasure poetry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_poetry). Admittedly, I've only ever had one creative writing class (high school, very basic/general), but all those high school and college AP and honors English classes...? I feel like my education was so lacking, that I'd never heard of such back then.

Anyway, decided to attempt one, using the lyrics of Kansas' "Carry On Wayward Son" (it seemed appropriate). Sort of an exploration/reflection on 5.22-6.11 Sam.


Geas


"Carry my peace, rest no more"

I rose ever higher,
but flew too high

My eyes still blind,
my mind mad,
I hear voices
when I'm dreaming
I can hear
a reason my charade is wise--
I don't know
stormy emotion

Tossed about
like a ship,
the ocean winds' voices say,
"Remember nothing
The splendor lights your heaven,
waits for you
My son, you are done
Rest,
don't cry, don't cry."

Yeah, still sick. But improving, I promise. This thing seriously kicked my ass, and I'm unfortunately used to how colds treat me. Least I don't feel like I need a dr/antibiotics anymore, just normal-cold cruddy. No energy though, which really gets aggravating. A good night of sleep would help, but just can't seem to thanks to waking myself up contantly coughing--either getting up for cough syrup/drops keeps me up for awhile or if it's past 5am, I might as well just get up, you know? But a few hours a night is gettin' a mite old. ^^;

UGH, need a new keyboard. Long time ago, I'd had a spill that'd gummed up a few keys--they got kinda-sorta better, but then recently have out of the blue gummed up even *worse*, and my 6-7-8 are darned near non-functional. Guess I know what my Christmas money from Dad will go toward.

OMFG WOW: CATACLYSM TONIGHT \o/!!! Shows how out of it I am--I kept thinking when I heard midnight release 12-7, that meant midnight Tuesday. No, Beavis, you dumbass, that means Monday midnight. Oy. I seriously only realized this *last night*.

For some reason, realizing Cata comes out tonight instead of tomorrow night started me on some sort of anxiety-cascade, and thus massive insomnia before the coughing problem even factored in. >_< Aasfsdkjfk. I'm just so behind on basic house stuff, and thought I was okay on holiday things but now feel hugely behind. And I'd wanted to do cards for people, but honestly that's not going to happen. :/ So I really love all those that have posted entries saying to leave an address for a Christmas/holiday card, but I feel really weird taking and not giving. Bad enough I've left prompts for comment-fic when I'm not going to have anything to offer.

Was supposed to go to the husband's work holiday dinner tonight, but highly likely not doing so. And of course, had planned on waiting at Gamestop this evening for the midnight release, but that's probably not a good idea. :/ The husband is willing to do it, which is cool, since he's not one for standing out in crowds and usually I'm the weirdo that does that sort of thing. (Unfortunately it does mean standing out in the cold again >_< Which is why I definitely can't do it.)


PS REGARDING A CERTAIN TV GUIDE COVER WOOOOOO HELL YEAH FANDOM :D :D :D Holy cats, for the first time in like a decade I actually give a shit about buying a TV Guide. XD;

Because it still needs to be pimped out:
♥Love Meme♥

Speaking of that meme, huge, huge *hugs* to y'all, and extra hugs and thanks to certain of you, you know who you are ♥ You guys, I just ♥♥♥ \o/

♥ also to [livejournal.com profile] jojothecr for the present :D I should've said something yesterday, but I was slacking. Thanks, hon!

I feel like this is sort of the lost week or something. o_O Can't believe it's Thursday. Just doesn't feel like it. It's all lost in a haze of sleeping and sinus meds and cough syrup. And so many Halls drops, don't think I've ever taken so many. >_o Just wish it would all just go away already. Kind of tired of having my ass so thoroughly kicked by it, yes. ^^; (PS Hey, flu shot, you going to actually prevent anything this year?)

Re:WoW-- Haven't made much progress with the new alts like some folks have, just haven't had the energy to be gung-ho about it. So Deannajude the warrior still's only 21, though my troll druid is 16, I think. I should run Ak through heroics with the new goblin faction tabard so I can get their mount (that ATV looking thing :p ), but, eh, later. Been trying the quest chain in Hillsbrad based off the Plants Vs Zombies webgame, and...I'm horrid at it. :/ I want the sunflower pet you get after finishing all the quests so badly, but I keep failing and failing at the 'set us up the pumpkin bomb' one. Just sucks, because other people have accomplished it with only some struggling, and me, I just can't seem to get it. Will keep trying, but it's frustrating. And the sunflower pet is so damned cute. :(

My throat is on fire. T___T Can't skip out on the D&D thing tomorrow or the late-Thanksgiving thing in the evening, much less writing for the last 3 days of November. But I really, really wish I could just say to hell with it all. Because seriously, on fire. So hope it's not so bad when I wake up tomorrow.

Also, is there a "hollisharrow1476" out there? Because they're trying to add me to their Yahoo! online list, and I'm kind of not sure who that person even is. o_O So, just curious.

the usual

Despite sinus meds, horrible allergy attack kept me up most of the night, since laying down was a bad thing. Still yuck today. More meds and sleep sound dandy.

Got my mininano/wrisomifu out of the way at least. More pointless J2 schmoo. Can't seem to come up with the energy to think of much else lately. Yay, so uncreative. \o/
