I'm off to Goodwill to buy things in preparation for my trip to Scotland!
★ waterproof jacket
★ waterproof comfy shoes
★ one nice outfit
★ nice conference shoes
★ black stockings
★ long black socks
★ and rechargeable AA batteries, because I only have two.
After that, I'm off to rehearsal for what will hopefully be some awesome fun and debauchery and sweetness in general. I skipped out last week because I was le tired, so hopefully this week will be fabulous. =)
Aunt Suzy came over and brought me oatmeal cake. Nom.
Hmm. Yeah. I'm about ready to go. Soooo yeah. Gonna' do that. Much love!

I asked ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) raccoonbonapart to tag me. Here are some of my interests, and explanation behind them!!
1 corinthians 13:13: "But now, faith, hope, love, abide these three, but the greatest of these is love." This is just a Bible passage that I really like. :D
bridezillas: This is a show that features women going insane planning their weddings. I can't get enough of it.
figuring myself out: Me being so deep. I'm just trying to figure myself out lol.
handsome boy modeling school: A really sweet indie hip-hop group, check 'em out!
ripping off nj transit lol: Me being silly...sometimes I'll ride farther than what I've paid on NJ Transit. :D
judge judy: Ummm...she's Judge Judy!! I love her.
making soap: This is just really fun!
Lemme know if you want me to do you (heh heh, I said, "do you".)

I had a Telis. And then she went away. :( But while she was here we had cuddles, and ingested absolutely nothing good for us: pizza, ice cream, and monster movies. And we talked about fisting, of course. Yay, team us! \o/
I'm also quite happy because earlier Dante's Peak was on, and now I'm watching Deep Blue Sea, the awesome super-intelligent killer shark movie. I just love cheesy disaster movies, movies where nature turns against man (which dovetails neatly into cheesy disaster movies, for the most part, although it also includes killer animal movies), and apocalyptic movies (which again includes cheesy disaster movies, but also killer virus movies, zombie movies, etc.). I was raised on B movies, dude, I just can't get away from it, even if I wanted to.
I'm thinking after Deep Blue Sea is over I'll watch some more Veronica Mars, because I haven't seen the second season since it aired, and I'm interested in how Kyle Gallner's acting choices play out given the season finale. Oh, Cassidy, I still adore you to bits, even though you're a puppy-killing mass murdering rapist sociopath super-villain. (Sidenote: Firefox's spellcheck apparently has no problem with "plat", which is how I originally misspelled "play", but it does have a problem with "supervillain". Sidenote 2: Upon checking Kyle Gallner's imdb page, he's apparently going to be in Jennifer's Body? Fuck, I was already excited for that movie, and now I want it now now now. I adore that the VMars alums stick together! It's so convenient for my fannish purposes! Also Adam Brody is in it! And JK Simmons, who I adore! *grabby hands* I want this moooovie!)
Speaking of VMars, if anybody who used to be in the fandom could give me some Lamb/Veronica recs to give Telis, it would be appreciated. Or some good sexy Logan/Veronica!
Also I love the LLCoolJ song that plays over the credits to Deep Blue Sea. "My hat is like a shark's fin!" That is some fucking genius writing right there. I want this shit for my ipod, oh my god. So awesomely bad.
Edit: Never mind, instead of VMars I'm going to watch Live Free or Die Hard, because I really need to see John McClaine blow shit up. Oh, cheesy action movies, how you draw me away from good media with your myriad explosions.
Edit 2: Holy shit, Moe the chimp is loose? Aw, I hope he gets picked up or that he manages to survive in the wild (well, and also that he doesn't maul anyone). If you live in SoCal, Moe the chimp is kind of an institution--his former owners (one of whom is the one who, you know, had his balls and nose torn off) still have a sign in the front of their house saying FREE MOE, and I see it every once in a while when I'm in their area. I hope Moe's okay. :(
Edit 3: For Telis--Tony/Jarvis, and also a page of recs from liviapenn, and also Livia's own Iron Man fic. Also some post-apocolypse Veronica/Lamb.

Tagged by towards
Rules of the Game:
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
C) ENJOY? I tag eight whoever wants to do it. AHAHAHA Go.
oo1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Depends on the betrayal. I tend to be forgiving, though, because I hate ill feelings.
oo2. What do you do before bedtime?
Usually I have truTV on. It's my anti-drug.
oo3. What will your dream wedding be like?
I've actually never thought about that, and I'm not even sure I want to be married, to be honest. I'm not thinking that far ahead yet.
oo4. What is the city of your dreams and why?
I haven't traveled to enough other places to answer this. XD;
oo5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introverted around strangers and acquaintances, extroverted around those I know very well.
oo6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved by someone.
oo7. Do you trust easily?
I think so.
oo8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Leave them be. And maybe pounce once they're free, unless they're having a hard time with their breakup. ^^;
oo9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Lately, not really. A little bit at work.
o10. What has made you laugh recently?
Today we went to our friends the Garzones' place, and their dogs Missy and Gizmo were running through the house at one point. I have no idea what they were doing. They were racing each other from one end of the house to the other or something. Also, Missy decided Matt wasn't giving her enough attention and proceeded to try to burrow through the sofa. XD;
o11. Is being tagged fun?
Gives me something to do. ^_^
o12. How do you see yourself?
With red eyes. I'm freaking tired right now.

Mom, Dad, Craig.
o14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Cool person, knows where her head and heart are and speaks her mind.
o15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
As much as I love the idea of being rich, it wouldn't mean as much if I didn't have anyone to share it with.
o16. How many children do you want to have, if any?
I think two.
o17. What's better, to give or to receive?
Giving.
o18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?

Today I:
+ went downtown to Payless and picked up a pair of dress flats and a pair of cute-but-not-excessively-so wedge sandals for clubbing or whatever
+ went to TJMaxx and on a whim picked up a bright spring shirt which turned out to look great on me, and also a pair of brown dress pants which fit fairly well
+ did laundry
+ washed dishes
+ picked up some groceries
+ cleaned my room a bit, though not nearly as much as I should (being ruthless is HARD)
Stuff I'm getting rid of that flisters might actually want:
- green dolphin earrings (surgical steel posts) claimed by Maria
- magnet of an indigenous peoples male-female couple with the text "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:7-8"
- magnet with "Discover the wonder in every day" text above a wilderness scene with mountains in the image of bears, rocks in the image of eagle heads, a waterfall, etc.
I need to figure out what I am feeding people next Saturday.
Edit: I am also somewhat concerned that almost everyone is gonna drive and there is like nowhere to park. /edit

Gender Redesigner
At Brattle Theater:
40 Brattle Street Harvard Sq. Cambridge
9:30pm all ages $10
http://www.truthserum.org
CineMental is excited to welcome fAe Gibson, subject of Gender Redesigner, to Boston for this screening and discussion.
Gender Redesigner Johnny Bergmann, USA, 2006, Video, 74 min.
Follow fAe over the course of 5 years as she begins to question her gender and decides to surgically modify her body. This intimate fun filled adventure makes you wonder how fAe can handle beginning hormone treatment, having his breasts removed, and drag kinging - all in the middle of rural Western Pennsylvania. While transitioning from female to male, fAe makes a startling discovery about the balance between his masculine and feminine sides. Can she succeed living as a man in the middle of farm country?
Gender Redesigner has screened at: NYC NewFest, San Francisco Frameline Festival, North Carolina Film Fest, Translations: Seattle Transgender Film Festival, and the Best of NewFest @ BAM and other festivals.
fore more information: http://www.myspace.com/genderredesignerfilm and http://www.RainbowAmerica.org ***
For the baby shower, I bought Trelawney and Eric (and baby-to-be Cuboo) a BornFree Gift Set of Bisphenol-A Free Plastic bottles from their registry. I got an e-card thank you today.Thank you, Elizabeth!
I got the bottles in the mail, and I am very excited to use them! They look delicious! And I'm especially excited to see how fast I can make Mummy and Daddy get them ready for me in the middle of the night when they're still half asleep and I'm making lots of loud noise! We'll have lots of fun! Thank you so much!!
love and kisses (with drool),
Cuboo ***
Edit: Chatting with mjules tonight, she related a conversation with her mom in which said mom said, "Damn skippy."
me: ::laughs:: I haven't heard anyone say "damn skippy" in years I don't think.
mjules: *laughs* It's fairly commonplace with me and Mom. We both have kind of quirky speech patterns.
me: I recall "nifterspiffic" from my teen years with my best friend, but that's fallen by the wayside.
I love that my parents adopt my slang -- like my mom will say "wootles" (her variant on "woot").
mjules: Wootles? That's fucking adorable.
me: Yeah, my mom's pretty adorable
mjules: Hee. From what I know of her so far, I'm willing to accept her nomination into the Hall Of Most Awesomest Mothers Ever, along with my own mother

★ yayyy, new friend! welcome, towards. :D
★ i'm listening to the capitol steps on npr. so much awesome political humor. i love that they can make fun of everybody, without any political bias.
★ i've realized that the reason i prefer online communication (like comments, messages, etc.) to phone conversations and even IMs... i don't like bothering anyone. with comments and e-mails and whatnot, people can respond in their own time and i don't have to feel like i'm being annoying.
★ i need to watch another long-neglected disney movie today. either sleeping beauty or snow white. i need to learn to appreciate those princesses more, because as it stands, i think they're both kinda' lame.
★ i had something else i wanted to update about, but i have no clue what it was. i've been forgetting it for the past like three posts or something. dammittt.
★ i have a feeling that today is going to be a very online-y day.

Your result for The Subway Etiquette Test... Nice Out-of-towner94% Considerateness and 31% Touristyness! Hey! You scored 94% Considerateness and 31% Touristyness! Brilliant! You're obviously a really nice person and enjoy making life more pleasant for those around you. You're suspiciously nice though...you're so nice that I'm not convinced you're a real New Yorker. Hrm. But you're still probably a joy to be around, and I probably wouldn't mind commuting with you. So come pay us a visit sometime! You obviously have enough common sense to somewhat blend in and not piss everyone off, which is something you can definitely take pride in. (And if you really are a native New Yorker, sorry! But you're probably used to the "are you REALLY from here?" comments by now because you are uncommonly sweet). In any case, consider this a good result! You do NYC subways better than a LOT of NYers out there. Take The Subway Etiquette Test at HelloQuizzy
I am too native, I just know how to act. XD;;
Cold seems to be breaking up, which is good. Still having a bit of a post-nasal drip issue and need to be around tissues at all times, but I haven't had any pressure issues for a couple days. Yay antibiotics. I only worked one day this week, so I'm going to be better about not taking days off. I'll try to work every day until vacation.
Speaking of, Beth, are you still planning on coming down?
Spent yesterday in the house with Craig and Matt while the parents went to Middletown. We made the mistake of eating spaghetti at around 11pm, and ended up staying awake for hours afterward. I actually caught Craig coming into the room at around 4am to get the 360 because they were still awake. I talked him out of it. It didn't take much. ^^; Remind me never to eat pasta so late again. I know about the energy boost it gives you, and I didn't think about it at all.
Mom and Dad are cooking a ham out on the deck, I think in the turkey fryer. If you go into the kitchen, there's a strong smell of bacon. XD

I got up at like 10:30 this morning. Yay for getting to sleep in. (The first time I woke up this morning was like 6:50, which kind of impressed me.)
( My day was really not that interesting. )
Sidebar: ASP is running an outdoor encore of its Love's Labour's Lost the weekend I'm going to the Cape with CAUMC folk [Aug. 1-3]. Sigh. (I actually found out about this 'cause I happened to go to the website for something. Which is odd, because usually I get a million emails from them.)
MY PARENTS FINALLY DID/UPDATED THEIR IMPORTANT LEGAL PAPERWORK! (durable power of attorney, Massachusetts healthy care proxy, living will) Their old documentation was from when my brother and I were both well under 18 and my mom's best friend lived in the same town as all of us. Said bff moved all the way across the country four? more? years ago and my younger brother turns 21 in under a month. There's been moderately serious talk about getting that all updated/squared away oh, since my maternal grandmother fell six years ago.
***
Last Sunday (June 29) I posted a list of "other stuff that is currently contributing to my stress (possibly an incomplete list)." I'm feeling less overwhelmed in recent days and started updating the list with the ways in which stressors got resolved. ( And so obviously I'm posting it. )

I would like Ari to return to the Internet. (Yes, I know she'll be back in a few days.) I am also looking forward to Cat being within potential cuddle distance.

So this past week has been interesting.
Danny "Officially" proposed today. :)
We are still planning on doing our handfasting on the cruise. that is when we are switching our Claddagh rings to our other hands, so I don't feel real engaged yet. This was mostly so I can start the ball rolling on the wedding...
Geez. Wedding. Me. *blink blink.*
Never thought it would really happen I guess....
*sigh*
It makes me nervous and excited all at once.
More later. :)

Going over to Steph's last night was freaking awesome. Had spiffy tipsy love island time with Dennis & Steph, because Luke went home and couldn't join in the fun because of that. Also started watching Hedwig & the Angry Inch, and I really really really want to finish it now. Sparklers rule, too, dude!
Wanting to party tonight at some point, but nothing seems to be going on, sooo I'm just lounging around in my penguin jammies. Just got done watching The Jungle Book. Um. Played with the cat a lot today. Life's really kinda' sleepy right now.
So. Yeah.

So, since I spend so much time here bitching, how about I talk about something I actually enjoyed!
( The Mist spoilers )
Now I'm going to re-read The Mist novella because I haven't read it in forever. :D I'm currently reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is quite interesting and lovely but also sort of dry, maybe because of the translation? I mean, a lot of people die and have horrible things happen to them, but it's not particularly affecting in any way other than being sort of tonally wearing, I guess? It creates a feeling of inevitability and resignation, which I think is what he's going for, but again, it's always kind of hard to tell with translations, and unfortunately I am mostly mono-lingual (I can read a tiny bit of French--the four or so years that I spent on that language were utterly lost on me). Anyway, it'll be nice to take a break from that (and from all the Batman porn I've been reading--I rediscovered thete1 so I've been re-reading, oh, everything she wrote as well as all the stuff I hadn't read of hers) to read some Stephen King.
