Here are some things for today, in no particular order:

*Went through some papers, which has resulted in a dragon's horde of recycling tossed on my floor. It's extremely dramatic, and going to be a pain in the ass to actually clean up into a paper bag and bring to the recycling bin.

*Also progress is ever-so-slowly being made on the whole papers project thing. Sigh.

*I had lunch outside, and there was delicious rolling thunder as I watched the marbles (I've been rewatching the old marblelympics while watching the current season, I've just about finished the 2018 winter games, which were stunning). I was largely done with lunch when the sky-water started to appear, so I finished my yogurt from the relative safety from the porch and then when that started to get too damp, went inside.

*My hair is in a bunch of skinny braids to make it all wavy later, am happy about this, but man is it actually kinda annoying. I managed to somehow half-pin it (read: pinned it up with the hairstick but then it half-unraveled) which was quite charming and gave me the effect of the long braids without the annoyance of going over my ears and getting in my face.

*Was morose at Ezri. Also cried for a bit this evening. Neither of these things have made me feel long-term better, since the underlying causes tend to boil down to "it's a pandemic, things are fucking terrible".

*I am incredibly fond of the Trogdorization of the Seattle Kraken logo. Also, how fucking badass is "the Kraken" as a sportsteam? Dang! I like hockey, in a vague "not actually following but damn it's pretty to watch" sort of way, and now I can have a favourite hockey team that doesn't make people hate me because Boston.

*I've been reading Shlock Mercenary. One of the incredibly rich things about the internet is that there are webcomics out there with literal decades, plural, of comics at this point. I've been enjoying, over the last couple years, going through and embracing some of these!

I started talking about webcomics, and like I am wont to do, got excited )

*I am playing a shark clicker game and it's very cute and I'm resolutely not looking anything up about it which means I'm probably doing terribly. I spent way too much time on it yesterday, but today was an alright balance (since good clicker games work best as played in 5 minute increments once an hour or so).

*I should go to bed, which means I should clean my room. Ugh. Maybe I put everything on the floor and clean it tomorrow. Goodnight?

MOOP!

1: The offhand "top five" I tend to name are (in no order): xkcd, Narbonic, Order of the Stick, 1/0 -slash- Leftover Soup, and an ambiguous fifth slot that I fill with various whatever-jumps-to-mind. Really, my all time favourite webcomic *ever* remains Narbonic, which I love enough that when Shaenon kickstarted a reprint drive of the two volume full-story set, I went ahead and purchased a second complete copy, even though it's basically identical. Currently they're lent to Austin and Bee, but seriously, if you wanna read this mad science comic and you need paper, let me know.

2: I thought the other day about maybe trying to make a list of every webcomic that I was caught up with and reading regularly at one point or another, and then decided that that's the crazy talking, and I'm not quite there. I wonder how many comics would be on my list that no one else would remember or know about. Ohmygod, Irritability still exists and is even being updated? As is 21st Century Fox? And Antihero For Hire??? I thought it was exciting when I refound SGVY4, dang, everything is still going! (I wonder if Ghastley is still online...uh...don't search for that one.)

3: Oh! Somewhere between Freefall and OotS, I started re-reading College Roomies From Hell, which was one of my first favourites alongside Sluggy. I read a ton of stuff I remembered, and then a much more ambiguous batch of stuff I sorta remembered and then stuff I mostly didn't remember and then it got Really Dark And Sad and I stopped caring entirely. Which is fascinating, because (see above) I can generally do dark and also crappy.

4: ...which apparently has had a huge site redesign as of June29th and the comic itself is not up again yet. Whoops?

G'morning!

Livejournal? Caught up with, at least the past week or so. I had to pull a restart recently, so if there was something devestatingly important that you posted between my trip to Germany and last Monday, I missed it.

Webcomics? Also known as drugs, and caught up with. Also, today's Order of the Stick is the freaking WINS! Anyone who has even a LITTLE bit of gaming background, go read Order of the Stick, all of it, right now. I am dead serious, you NEED to read this comic.

And Rich is my uncle's arch-nemisis. Which is SO COOL! (long story, comment if you're interested)

E-mail? My yahoo account is nothing but mail from colleges who have gone "ZOHMYGODS, you took the PSATS and we want you!!" Or, in other words, completely ignorable.

Gmail is done with, minus the ten trillion messages from mek I haven't bothered to deal with. Ten at a time, hm? BAH!

It's all his fault. :p

There's nothing else I *need* to do on the interwebs at the moment. I COULD go poke my head into Sluggy.net and see what they're up to, but it's getting to the point where everyone I know or want to keep up with from S.n has an elljay. Actually, wait, I could go check up on both snopes and bash.org. Back secondish.

Right, NOW I'm done.

So, that's the internet for me. Comics, elljays, e-mail, snopes, and Bash. Other stuff is cool, but not required to be checked on a relitivly often basis.

So, onto real life. Senior pictures today, as opposed to yesterday. Yeaaaaah. I don't really do pictures. I don't really do anything that requires me to sit still and pose. Which counts being hemmed. Most boring moment of my life was probably when Veronica was hemming up the dress I borrowed from Tyler last year for CappiesGala. Not because Veronica is boring, but her mouth was full of pins so I couldn't talk to her, so all I could do was STAND THERE!

And that is why books were invented. God bless Johann Gutenberg, and God bless the printing press. And is it a bad thing that I can remember exactly WHICH book I read that day? 'Twas the TMBG part of Chrome Circle...

Yes, I'm a litdork. If you didn't know this already...well...wow. You don't pay attention. I may not always have a book on me, but I always have SOMETHING to write on/in, and a pen...or several. I'll write on myself if I don't have any paper (currently my arm says I [heart] ink poisoning.) I think it's a prereq to being a writer...

Currently, I'm looking at this compisition book and debating whether or not to type up the elljay entry I wrote in here. I will eventually, it's babbling about candy and England, but I think that it deserves it's own entry. So, later.

Other reallife stuff? I think I slept wrong, my back hurts, and twisting to the right so that my shoulders are more then about thirty degrees perpendicular to my legs REALLY HURTS! (for contrast, I can hit nearly ninty degree's if I twist to the left) I haven't figured out what stretch I'm supposed to be doing to fix it either, which is the worst of it.

I like being flexible. Being able to place my palms on the floor with my legs together and knees unbent without having to warm up first is COOL. I should start learning more yoga, since I'm *not* taking gymnastics anymore, and yes kung-fu stretches me out, but I think I'm probably losing some of it.

(Also, doing shoulderstands are HARD! Or rather, it's almost numbingly easy, or was, until I realized that to do it proper, you need your whole body to be straight. Huh. I'll have to get Diane to show me how to do it proper when I see her next...I'm not tilted over far, but I'm a perfectionist, and I have this whole advantage of being young and stretchy.)

In better news, my knee has healed up pretty well. It's got a LOVELY bruise on it, all purple and red. So, from one problem to another. I just wish I could convince my body to COOPERATE for a while, and not get hurt. :p

I miss gymnastics. I should go practise arials out in the sledding field sometime, and swear a lot at how far I've slipped. (I used to be able to do them, I swear!) I don't miss the people or the being FAR too much older then anyone else or the CD memories (Rest in peace), but I miss the actual thing of gymnastics. Kung-fu's fun and all, but it's not the same. There's a lot less flying...

I'm apparently wont to babble these days. 'sok, I can handle that. If I felt like it, I would go turn on IM and babble to people -Marc surely, since I have yet to see him offline (I don't understand you people with your messages of one sort or another for weeks at a time. Is it some grand secret that no one's told me that it's better to never turn off your computer or somesuch?) and probably a handful of other people I may or may not feel like talking to. Jarne's probably awake, I saw him in passing earlier. mek's sleeping, Tho should be sleeping, and Ksatyr's at work.

Oh yes, pictures though. I should, you know, brush my hair out. It's probably REASONABLY brushed, but meh. Have to look good for pictures.

Effing braces.

I need to babble about my hair in here sometime. Because it's excellent. Possibly with pictures.

I think that's all for the now. Ta.

ORIGINS::::::::::::

Was orgasmic, as it should be.

Wow. Now theres an adjictive I don't use often. >.<

Anyway, Origins was as absolutely utterly amazing as it could possibly be, and I love it with all my heart and more.

It is my homeplace, where I am myself. It is not considered completely odd to go galloping down the hallways banging coconut halves together. It is not considered in bad form to shout ALL HAIL KING TORG in response to the lovely 9th level games people. It is not considered (extreemly) blasphemous to suddenly get down on your knees and start playing a game of Satan!...It's just awesome. I love Origins SO MUCH!!!

OVERVEIW: )

MOOP!


*Labbit = Mad Lab Rabbit = Someone who works for Loony Labs

**The lab is where Loony Labs hangs out and do most of their tournements, seminars, and demos. Very awesome place, and where I spend most of my time. Especially when it's time to hunt werewolves!

(*3)Generi's = my affectionate nickname for the cute little generic tokens they had.

(*4)Flub. A word I litterally just made up as I was writing this. It means most magnificent, wonderful, amazing, fantabulous, fun, loud, creative, entergetic, quirky, great, awesome, stupendeous, terrific, and a whole lot of other adjectives. And cool. Except it really means BEYOND cool.

(*5)When it's not being addicts anyway...more on this later.
