It's over!

MOOP!

1: Sorceress is a title. Sorcyress is a name.
2: R = None of your damn business, D = my real last name, A = None of your damn business.
3: 'of the family of'
4: 'of the location/world of'
5: 'of the god'

6: And in all honesty, "sneaking out? No."
7: Used here to mean "independent" and not "Indie"
8: Not actually proven and probably not a fact.

THOUGHTS WHILE PACKING:

1548:

Man, my folder of worship is getting *awesomely* full. One Comedity print, original art by Randy Milholland, Randall Munroe, and Jeph Jacques, a random commision of a dinosaur I bought at AnimeBoston, Hiro's milk mustache ad, the picture of me that Dominik used as a print for his portfolio, and my still alive index cards.

And that's not counting the Maryland folder of worship which contains an obscene amount of KattersArt, and my original sluggy art.

(For reference, the folder of worship is basically full of everything that goes on the wall of worship. So, not real posters, but Other Cool Things. I should put the ST article I ripped out of a magazine in there too.)


1557: Dude, that's James Bond? What the hell is James Bond music doing in my iTun...ohyeah. Thanks Talia!

1636: Unrelatedly to anything (I'm fine today, just a little stressed out) I find it really interesting that, one of the things I do when I'm trying really hard not to start crying in public, is to begin seeing how much of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I can recite.

Granted, this somehow backfires as I originally began to learn hitchhikers as a self-masochistic way to illustrate the 2718.89 miles between me and my clone, and if I think too hard about that I'll be depressed, but still, just as a "shit shit I need to distract myself from everything in real life" it works like a charm.

1925: ...Ohyeah, I was working on this. Well, I mean, Ria was all "doof?" and dhs was all "I'll bribe you to come to Diesel with the offer of giving back your clothes" and so I went and got dinner with Ria and Mando (who recently dyed his hair BLUE and so now looks not unlike a character of mine) and then went to Diesel where I stayed for like...an hour or something. On the wicked plus side, I was finally properly/formally introduced to sunspiral, which is exciting. *adds him as a friend*

Now all I need to do is properly meet Cthulia and I'll be able to officially consider myself a Boston based fen.

2137: Did I really just spend the last two hours reorganizing my friends lists, again? Fuck. Me.

2224: You know what I want to know? I want to know how long it would've taken me to meet and become friends with Janny without the sluggy.net link. I think the only other person on my friends list who I could say pretty confidentally that I would meet without however I met them having happened is dan4th. And maybe very vaguely possibly Magus, but only insomuch I would've started to meet him at Balticon '06 rather than Origins '04

I'm attempting to clean out my gmail inbox, ie, archiving everything I'm done with. I had 1209 messages from 2008 sitting in my inbox waiting to be archived and about 4500 overall, I am *hilariously* bad at this, and not just because of the several hundred comment threads of doom I'm ignoring with mek.

OH! And I might be going to GenCon this year!! Mom's going, and if I can get the time off from wherever I will be working, there was an implication of me being able to booth babe for Joan. :D!

2237: So, something Tristan asked me right when we found out we were both virgos¹ was "So what's your neurosis?" I can't remember exactly what I answered --almost certainly my default compulsion, the fact that I clean my glasses overly often, and every single time I ever get into a conversation about OCD or neuroses. *speaking of which, cleans 'em now. Sigh*

But I think my current big one is the neck thing. I hate hate HATE having my neck touched, it freaks me out. Occasionally, I'll just freak out about the fact that I have a neck for no good damn reason which pisses me off, especially when I get the "ohgodohgod, need to have nothing near my neck, RIGHT NOW" Necklaces and collars I can take off. T-shirts are harder. Skin is impossible.

I was idly thinking about this, and about the fact that, when doing the cuddling/petting/caressing fan situation that I seem to find myself in a lot, if someone gets their hands too close to my neck, I will invariably move their hands down.

At some point, I am going to inadvertently move their hands down to far and accidentally cause someone to grope me. Stupid fucking neuroses.

2301: Oh, bitches!! So, I'm looking at my class schedule, and the creative writing class I really wanted to take because hey --Sorcy likes creative writing!-- takes place on Thursdays. From 6:45 to 9:15 PM.

Yeah, when is Concord based contra again? What's that? Exactly that time? What the fuck Belanie. What the fuck.

(So now I have to decide if I'm going to try and find another class to take instead or if I'm just going to not start doing contra up here until next January --I suspect one of the deciding factors in which I choose will be how much contra I get in over the summer.

Still though. Bitches.

0019: QUOTE OF THE DAY:

JoshZed:
this is more of the strong evidence that I'm really a 1 on the Kinsey scale
or close to it
I mean, if Randall doesn't do it for me, who will?

(Good lord, has the concept of sexing up Randall Munroe become a *theme* in my livejournal? That's either terrifying or awesome.)

Also, I am amused that I started this as 'thoughts while packing' and haven't actually packed anything in seven hours or so.

0101:

NEW Quote of the Day!

"Do I want to know why you are interested in my lovelife?"
"Because human interactions of all sort fascinate me."
"Any sort of interaction is fascinating if it involves cherry-flavored lube!"
[Immediate follow-up comment] "...........I did not just type that.........."

0112:

OHMYGOD.

Does the world love me? I don't actually know. But the world might!

But...not being at movie night.

But Satanic motherfucking Mechanics!

Ohhhh, I should not be forced to have decisions like this...

0222: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Sor? Fuck you. Go do your paper. Like...now. Just because you know damn well you're not going to be sleeping tonight is no reason to not get the paper done early.

P.S: What is your plan, to sleep on the floor or something eventually? You're incredibly fucking stupid, I hope you're aware of that. Also, a week of sleep-dep? What makes you think you'll even be able to potentially *begin* to make it to Rocky? Yeah, that's what I thought. Tell your terminal optimism to fuck off.

MOOP!

1: heh, I almost wrote that as 'virgins'. Oops.

So, because I both like being stalked and like stalking people, I joined Gather[ETA 2022: dead link], which appears to almost be a cross between a blog and a forum. Anyone else out there who I should go friend thereabouts?

Liam! gets cookies for telling me how to change shortcuts on my mac. Twiddle-arrow is a *much* quicker way to parse through tabs in Safari, thanks. (Though I'm actually going to change it shortly, as I realize that it doesn't work when I'm in a textbox --the arrows just function as arrows in the box. This is useless. Ideal would be twiddle , and . I think, except that twiddle-, is for opening sysprefs. Damnit! Ah well, I know what to do now, I can experiment until my baby works like I want her to.)

Next question is figuring out a way to unminimize windows without using the mouse. Maybe I should just switch to hiding windows instead of minimizing them...no, no good, that hides all the windows in a program, not just the active one. Hmm. A quest!!

(Hey, we'll start taking bets now --who wants to bet that, by the end of the summer, Sorcy will have started learning how to code things. Damnit, I am not a computer geek. *sighs*)

.....did I seriously just somehow hit twiddle-w (close tab) instead of twiddle-tab (go to next program)? What the fuck?! That just doesn't make sense.

My mommy's coming up to town in a couple weekends! Unfortunately, said weekend is the weekend before the weekend of the show. *crosses fingers for being able to hang out with people, and introduce her to Lauren and Emily, damnit!*

There's also 19th century dance going on that weekend, which makes my heart kinda go "!, want!" though I suspect I've got a nil chance of making it *that* time. (Reoccuring dance events are win and love, yep.) Though I could always drag the 'rents to it with me...(if I'm not in rehersal. :p)

***

Ah-HA! Ha ha ha! BRILLIANCE!

Man, keyboard hacking my computer is my new obsession. I'm sure I'll get over it within a week, but while I'm doing it, it's awesomely fun. (Finally figured out how to fix one of those little things that's been bothering me since I got Seren --the fact that twiddle-M on a mac will not turn itunes into the miniplayer (zoom view), it'll minimize it. Miniplayer now has a shortcut, and YAY!)

(Damn, I'm a dork.)

***

Uhm, yeah. Life is school, rehersal, and occasionally hanging out with people. Last night I went over to Jere7my's to watch some MST3K movie (Attack of the Gila Monster? Something of the Gila Monster, certainly) which just furthered the huge crush I am developing on Joel. I need to hang out with Dan4th sometime, since I haven't seen him since before break. Same with Dominik.

Yeah. The world is quiet here and all.

***

P.S: I'm writing things again. *bouncebouncebounce!* I don't care if it's complete shit, I'm *writing!* This is what the Sorcy is supposedly best at. <3

Chris Malone, of the webcomic Blue and Blond = The nicest webcartoonist I've ever met. No, really. Yeah, possibly even nicer than RKMilholland was when I met him. (Seriously, he asked what other cons I was planning to go to and told me we should hang out! Jesus Christ, that man's a charmer.)
