A thought, a QotD (Sorta), and a thank you

"In other news, once you stop bullshitting yourself and others, you can get a lot more done."

Today I managed to successfully, and correctly, use the phrase "I readied an action" to describe something I did in real life. I...may in fact be a geek.

Har? You know that awesomebeautiful* bright orange hat you made me for my birthday? It's wicked warm. And matches my new fingerless gloves perfectly. And looks really nice with my brown Janny-coat. Thank you! *hugs*

"In other news, once you stop bullshitting yourself and others, you can get a lot more done."

Totally. And here, have a link (http://zenhabits.net/2008/01/7-powerful-steps-to-overcoming-resistance-and-actually-getting-stuff-done/) on that subject too!

Ah, but see, your link is more about organization!pr0n, where I was referring more to being able to get past the walls thing and actually talk things out with people. Communicating is weird and scary and trippy and holy-shit-this-is-different and actually really really really nice.

See about eight trillion notes about trusting people.

Orite. I thought you were going on about "Man, I should start this project.....riiiight after I play Jardinains."

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, I have that problem too.

But no, this was specifically referring to how much easier it is to deal with life and get things done with people if you stop skirting around subjects.

Also, that it's so much easier to stay over at someone's house if you go over knowing you're just going to stay the night. You can bring spare clothes and a toothbrush, four instance.

Hehe. Why did that "just" sneak in there?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, do other stuff too. But you're not going to leave until an indecent hour, which means you're not actually going to leave.

Ohright. Just as in "going to end up", not just as in "that's all I'll do when I'm over there".

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sleeping over is for after the watching TV and talking until stupid o clock.

That's about as geeky as when I used "failed their reflex save" to explain what happened when someone fell into a hole dug in the basement of Pandemonium (which was also referred to as a pit trap several times.

There are some stores (Million Dollar Picnic, Joie de Vivre, every bookstore in the history of everything) where I feel exceptionally pleased with myself if I can manage to NOT buy anything. I really really like it when I can make my saving throw vs. things.

I feel accomplished when I leave a bookstore without buying anything
(Incidentally, if you like Joie de Vivre, have you been to either Blank Ink or the Museum of Useful Things?)

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I have now --I found Blank Ink entirely by accident, and consistantly fail to notice it unless I'm looking. It seems to have a SEP field around it, which makes me a sadKat.

Yes, yes you did. It was quite well-executed.

Well, *hee*, You're soooooo Welcome! Again! Still! *poing*

And it would be warm 'cause it's wool & all! *hguglesback* :D :D

. o O (and any pictures of you in it with the Janny-coat & fingerless gloves that came my way would totally end up on the hypertwiki or dA or Ravelry or summink... just so's you know... >.>)

Oh damn, that means I totally need to take some then!
