marguerite_krux: (roslin- never gets any easier)

 

Note to self: getting into the shower, realizing I still had my glasses on, ducking quickly to avoid splashing them and bashing my head against the wall? Not my finest hour. Omg, wait- the klutziness, the tripping, the idiocy...I'M EMULATING BELLA SWAN. KILL ME NOW. *headdesks*

- another tennis match with mother this morning...she beat me AGAIN, 6-3. I did worse than the first time, but my excuse is that after our epic first match, I'm all bruised and battered and not in my best form. Though I am in better shape than my father, who took her on over the weekend and limped away from battle with strained calf muscles in both legs, lol. He’ll be out of commission for a few weeks now. :P 

- finally bit the bullet and registered an insanejournal account. Here I am. Hope like hell I never need it because omg, I forgot how painful it was trying to figure out how to customize my journal. I looked at the option but I don't think I'm even allowed to personalize it. Although I suck at technical stuff, so maybe I'm holding myself back rather than the site, lol. They do offer ONE HUNDRED userpics right off, though, which made me a little dizzy because dear god, I had to pay HOW MUCH for that here?!

- OMGYAY, I’m awash with new ships! Please, gods, don’t let me down. I’m so into The Mentalist it’ll break my heart if this one goes down the drain.

    *Patrick and Lisbon’s flirty banter and cutesy exchanges are killing me with squee. The end of ep 9, with them running in the rain, was pretty sweet. Ep 10, however, surpassed its awesomeness a million times over. I about died from giggly glee.


    *And In Plain Sight...*dies* Just when I thought I didn't have it in me to fall for another police procedural. The character's name is Mary, which made me partial to liking her before I even met her, lol. She's one of those smart asses that make wisecracks all the time and makes her boss's life hell by playing fast and loose with the rules. Pretty much like House or Patrick Jane, except I'm shipping partners here, NOT boss/subordinate, kthxbai.

- I'm no good at thinking up captions, and I applaud those with the talent to do so. [One of my favorite time-wasting sites is icanhascheezburger.com, heh.] But this RL pic of my cousin's cat, Checkers, and their bird, Icarus makes me lol.



Look at that, no fear! It's not surprising, though. The bloody bird is a tyrant, it literally rules the roost. I mean, you'd think the life expectancy of a free flying bird in a house with TWO cats would be limited, but it is a vicious thing and totally freaks them out, heh.

1. I am finally vindicated in my refusal to get my license, my almost hysterical aversion to the mere thought of getting behind the wheel and driving myself anywhere. According to this article HERE, Cancerians- especially FEMALES- are more likely to have a car crash than members of any other star sign. It's true. So I totally have a legitimate reason to avoid driving for the rest of the my life. *nods firmly*

[Ignore the fact that my birthday's on the 23rd, so I have a 50/50 chance of being a Cancer or Leo in any random newspaper or magazine]

2. Aaand you know you're getting way too obsessed with those damn cute lolcats when you see random pics like this:



And immediately fight the urge to caption it: 'invisible sandwich'. Or 'invisible cheezburger'. *headdesk*

3. I am saddened by the realization that, wonderful as Gossip Girl is, I much prefer reading the recaps on tv without pity than watching the actual show. I bought chocolate today to read with the new recap, and I don't remember ever being that excited about watching the actual episode itself. *sighs* Still, the knowledge that I have chocolate perks me right back up again. ;)

4. Also along peppy lines, I received new reviews for my fic, An Exercise in Futility. *squees* I know we're supposed to write because of the craft, and it's in our blood, and it's not about the appreciation from other fans but...damn it all, I'm going through the Sparky fics on ff.net in reverse chronological order, and there are one-shots that received like, a hundred reviews back in 2005, and these days, hardly anyone reviews anymore. It's depressing. So...two new reviews is exhilarating. *dances* And on a different fic, The Garden's End, that I haven't updated in MONTHS, someone said that my writing of Elizabeth was better than TPTB. *wriggles* [okay, well, that's easy when they STOP writing her...]

I just wanna say: AWWW. Goddamn, I'm all glowy-like right now.
