Well, it's time. I haven't been active in fandom for a long time, and I rarely even read anything now. I know a lot of you were here for fandom purposes, and I've fallen out of touch with a bunch of you. I'm going to endeavor to use this journal more often, but first I had to sort of clean up a bit... so I did a huuuuge friends cut. Nothing personal against anyone; I only cut people that I was pretty sure that I've either fallen hopelessly out of touch with or people that I think were only here for fandom.

If I defriended you and you're surprised or hurt, I'm sorry! Leave me a comment and I'll fix it! It was a huge cut and some people may have even been cut by accident. If you still want to read my journal or stay in touch or whatever, please leave me a comment or email me. Anyway. I have a new FO banner, too, courtesy of featherduster. I'm looking forward to being a better LJ friend in the future to all those whom I kept and anyone else who wants to stay, too.

Annie hasn't been around lately because...

I have a vague notion it has been someone's birthday. Sarah? Or something. Happy Birthday to whomever it was, and Happy unBirthday to everyone else.

I'm heading over to register at NaNoWriMo.org. I wonder what the shirts will look like this year.

Um, guys, I know you're probably seeing it everywhere, but pleeaaaassse? -puppy eyes-

Go here and do the little sign-up thing so I can have a free iPod? I want one sooooo badly--my CD player just broke and and and please?

Edit: Four more people? selene_rain is my hero.

He shook my hand. John Kerry shook my hand.

Welcoming new friends, especially dafreshone (DOUG!) and limira_frerhawk (ANGE!). Friend them at will. A big hello to everyone else, too, even though I don't know you as well... and Gode nott, ifihadameadow! Yay for icelandic.

AND! LotR just won Golden Globes for Soundtrack, Song, and Director! YAY!

Someone spammed the last one, and it was easier to delete the whole thing than the hundreds of comments.

In any case, this journal is friends-locked. Leave a message, or just friend me, and I'll friend you.

If I were to ask the school librarian to order Discworld books, are there any in particular that are better? Do they have to be read in order?

Maya is so funny.

Sheesh, I'm really spamming my lj today, but...

Seems as though featherduster is spreading rumors about me. No matter what she might say, this is most definitely not me. Nope.
Or, it's not the best picture of me. You pick.

YWAM manga update! It is however, SUCH a cliffhanger... You won't even believe it, Kat.

Now that I downloaded the .ogg thinger, I can't find anyone (besides ladyjaida, that is) that posts by phone.
Lovely.
*dangles phone in front of paid users* You know you want to.

My life is meaningless compared to DV.

The stupidest thing I have said/done in a while:
As you may have realized by now, I am in love with the Cho fic "6 Ways of Unpinning a Butterfly". After making that haiku site, I noticed that Cho means butterfly - told this to Kat today. (featherduster)
Now, the connection seems obvious to you.
It seemed obvious to Kat.
I am a doofus.

(P.S. Will soon be spamming this journal with pictures from drama. Be afraid warned.)

Yummy. Along with all the other pictures on that site. (LOTR actor pics & interviews)

If you have given up on Tamora Pierce because of those Circle quartets, think again. Trickster's Choice is wonderful. Not only does it make me heart beat faster with all of the cool references to George and Alanna and Daine, it also has a wonderful new set of characters, something I always thought was a bit lacking in the Keladry ones. Aly, Dove, Sarai, and Nawat are so rocksy (did I spell it right, Merry?) that I'm still thinking about them hours later, as opposed to those circle people, who were very much formula characters (I thought - don't kill me!). Except for the teachers. I always liked the teachers in those books more than the students.
So, yes. Thank you, sophina, for giving it to me. :D

EDIT: HAHAHAH! What Unitarian means.

Saturday night or afternoon? Should we order ahead (eventually)?

I feel better now... made a nice haiku site for computer class. Look at it and tell me if I have stuff wrong, before I turn it in. :D Oui?

YAY! Elena got a livejournal. She is: sequined_blue.

You've bid your wife and seven grimy children adieu, and look to your king for comfort, asking what the morrow might bring, and wait for that breath of gentle hope amidst all the darkness. He answers you: "You gonna die, f00'. Represent."
HAHAHA.
here. Spoilers for The Movie.

STUPID THINGS I DID TODAY:
1. Went to Mrs. Lewis's (my chorus teacher's) house, even though District practice is on MONDAY.
2. Left my purse at the 6:01 showing of RotK. Got it back, luckily.

3 is the charm, no? Shit.

EDIT: AHAHAAA. (spoilers for LOTR)
