Complete Randomness

[Gravity Defier]

English and I? We're not good friends. I tend to get fixated on the same small set of words for periods of time and it always drives me nuts. The most recent batch of overused words includes: so, just, really, oh, goodness, and holy cow. My most annoying habit of the moment, other than failing at word diversity, is starting off sentences with conjunctions. While I know that's not necessarily/always wrong, I think I take it a bit too far. But you know what they say about habits being hard to break.



Also, Rei, was it you who I've seen mention Howl's Moving Castle being especially moving? I could swear someone said they watched it for the nth time and it made them cry or come close to it.

[Rei]

I can't recall... I know I said that about Cowboy Bebop... and I DO like Howl's Moving Castle, although it has been some time since I have seen it.

I just shared a bed with a dog for the first time. I'm house-sitting, and apparently the dog's a bit scaredy cat and doesn't like sleeping alone. It was great, actually, but I didn't like being woken up at 6:00 for a walk. Even if the walk was fun... and the dog is great... and... and...

I wish I had a puppy. Maybe not a big border collie, maybe a nice little corgi, but a dog.

I just finished reading all the channelAte.com comics.

I didn't know if I should write it in the Triumphs thread or the "Things that I'm ashamed of" thread, so as a compromise I settled on here.

[mr_thebrain]

it is a filthy dirty webcomic and i'm so happy it exists

ok so you tempted me into renting howl's moving castle. i thought it was quite an enjoyable movie. but i wouldn't say it was moving. and i'm not sure why anyone would cry over it. but then i'm not the sort to cry over movies.

Yesterday I got a Mac! So happy!

Can anybody find me the Harry Potter fanfic in which Harry is insane and Draco and Ginny get together? It is hilarious and I desire to read it again. I think Rei found it for me the last time I asked for this, so I'm looking at you, mate.

[Rei]

Gimme a bit, I need to recall where it is. You're talking about "A Lot To Be Upset About" by Cassandra Claire, though, I think.

[Jebus]

Actually, your post reminded me that you'd sent it to me in an email, and using gmail's handy search functions I was able to find it, cheers! Apparently you sent it to me about two years ago nearly to the day.

If anybody wants me to send it to them PM me your email.

[Mich]

The only Harry Potter fanfic I'll ever need is "My Immortal."

[Gravity Defier]

It's finally getting to the temperatures I'm used to; 114F today. I enjoyed it at lunch, since the 76F they keep it at inside is too cold for me.


They made me take a longer lunch. Something about working too much, not taking long enough breaks...


I made a pretty today at work that I get to bring home on Wednesday, after the kids get an idea of what can be made with a little imagination. I have pics, though, to get me through the cold, cold days without it.


I had a story-of-the-day type day if ever I've had one.


I've also had Chinese for dinner, mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmm. Why did I avoid this stuff for so long, again?


My shoulder is officially Not Right or something. It is a stabbing pain that won't go away.


One-inch tall people and tooth fairies!

I want Chinese now, thanks a lot!

Awesome!

Recently I've been pondering about getting something like one of these. Even though I know it's probably not a good idea since I don't even use 'normal' shaving cream, let alone the good stuff, and this would probably fail miserably without it... But every time I shave with a mach3, I keep feeling like I want something heavier, and it's so irritating to try and get hair out of the newfangled multiblade things.

Bah.

[locke]

I have that razor it is better than a mach 3, though a mach 3 can get the job done more quickly. then again I almost never cut myself with the merker, and can easily do so with the mach 3. And I do like the added sense of heft of the merker

[Gravity Defier]

You know you're tired when you call Colt and Tum-Tum from the 3 Ninjas Horseface and Chunky when their actual names escape you...something I should know from having seen that movie way too often growing up.

I suppose the never-ending, random bursts of giggles is also proof of that.

[locke]

I LOVED 3 Ninjas growing up! now I want to see it again. We watched it in bits in high def my senior year of high school it was way worse than I remembered, but delightful because of the badness. Not as terrible as Surf Ninjas but pretty awesomely awful all the same.

[locke]

I am on a Spirited away high cause I just saw it on a perfect print on one of the biggest screens in town. A shame it was the dub, but goddamn the movie is magical (I really hate how Chihiro sounds 4 years younger than she should and Haku sounds 20 years older than he should).

Overall though, damn I LOVE that movie.

omg, I found Surf Ninjas sitting on my friend's couch with a gigantic "99 cents" sticker on it, and I insisted we watch it. I was pretty sure the fact that Rob Schneider is in it would make him want to, but apparently Leslie Nielson as the bad guy sealed the deal.

Kinda would like to have a cool cat around again but my Wieners say no!

... WTF, BioWare?

I love being a magnificent bastard of a Sith Lord in Knights of the Old Republic. I love punching reporters out for not knowing when to shut the hell up in Mass Effect. Then I go and play Jade Empire, and the evil choices are just stupidly evil.

A teenage girl is injured defending her village from bandits and asks you to get medicine for her, even offering to reimburse the cost of it, so you buy a painkiller instead, lie to her to get more than the cost of the painkiller, and then beat her to the point of being crippled, justifying it by saying it was a lesson in solving her own problems, when the whole reason she was injured to begin with was because she was fighting to defend her village?

That's just being a jerk.

Upon being completely upstaged by my friends brand new baby, Ginny said "Oh Yum" while eating watermelon yesterday. It was so distinct and cute.

Does "Yum" count as a first word?

[Mich]

Without a doubt.

Man, what a great first word. Mine was "dada," which we all know is just coincidence.

[VelvetElvis]

I don't know what my first word was. Do parents keep records of that sort of thing?

[Jeesh_girl15]

Haha, mine don't

[starlooker]

My parents told me they had forgotten. This hurt my feelings very badly. Then one night they had a friend over, and they didn't think I was listening (I was in the next room) and I overheard them tell this person my first word was "s***." I was kind of horrified, and at the same time relieved that they remembered.

Apparently they instituted a cuss jar soon after that, as I have no memory of either of them cursing my entire life.

"Yum" is much, much better.

[thoughtreader]

My first word was "Backpack"

[Jayelle]

It's actually harder then you think to put your finger on that first word. She's been saying "Dada" for ages, but it's just barely connected to her dad, she says "Ba" for book and "NaNa" for food.
Paul and I have debated for a long time what qualifies as a first word, since my mom says mine was "Baba" and his mom says his was "squirrel".

[neo-dragon]

You see the craziest ads when you're watching tv at 3:45 am. Did you know that there's actually a number you can call to be set up with women from the Czech Republic?

I didn't think that the whole ordering foreign brides thing really happened, or at least not so openly. It also says something about the what type of people they figure are up watching tv at this hour.

Yes, yes, yes. <3

[starlooker]

I randomly found myself singing the Strong Bad grammar songs while I was hanging up laundry to dry the other night. For no reason at all. I love it when the soundtrack in my mind brings up things I had forgotten.

[Jeesh_girl15]

You know, I feel like the most out of touch person in the world for having no idea this was coming...

So I'm not the only one? I still feel like a little kid who is trying to fit in with the grown ups, and that I don't really belong here...

[Gravity Defier]

My mom thinks my first word was "dada," but she's not certain.

The only thing she is certain of is that I learned to say "Lea boob!" awfully fast/young because I was a chunker who constantly wanted breast-milk. To this day, milk is my favorite drink, though not from any human's breast.

I don't really belong here...

Garbage. I noticed your absence and *gasp* missed you and all your nonsense. If you had some IM way to be reached, I would have harassed you there. Just ask Elf, I harass him each time he disappears without warning. I even got a fantastic Lego story out of it this last time.
