[001] Her self-titled debut album
Bleep-bloop, yo! It's Christmas!
I've changed the opening to this entry somewhat, because I didn't really want the first thing said in my shiny new Dreamwidth pad to be "I think my Christmas dinner made me sick." Not... not a great start to things, that. I like this way much better.
There are quite a few unrelated things that I'd like to cover in this post, so I'm going to number that shit to ease the transitions. (Segues? Where we're going, we don't need segues.)
1. So hey! Christmas! That's cool. Once again I wasn't fully prepared until about an hour and a half before we actually sat down to open presents, but I got my shit together regardless. Being gainfully employed once more means I got to buy good gifts for everyone, and everyone else came through pretty solidly, as well. The whole suddenly being sick thing isn't so hot, but I've been feeling under the weather for a few days now, so the timing really might just be a horrible coincidence, supper was great.
1a. Presents! I finally have an external hard drive, stars in my eeeeeeeyes. No more rationing out my last few gigabytes like a lunatic like I've been doing for months! And new winter boots,* hot damn! From ALDO, as in an actual place that sells footwear and not Wal-Mart like the pair I've been working for two years now hails from. And a calendar and giant book of weird facts that's been my grandmother's ritual for me for over a decade now, love it. And Mario Party 8, mostly so that me and my brother have a game that we can play together, which is cool. ONE DAY I WILL HAVE A REAL CURRENT-GEN CONSOLE, YOU GUYS. And a tiny egg whisk in my stocking, which of all the great, thoughtful presents, was the one to get me a little emotional. I actually teared up later on when I was alone, like what even.**
2. My shiny new Dreamwidth pad! Still not sure how I feel about the big LJ migration, it doesn't quite seem real. Like a vacation? It doesn't feel like home yet, I think is what it is, but I really am in total love with the site and it's really likely just a matter of time. So many features that I'm completely in love with (I'd mention them all, but I'm sure you all know them all already (ALTHOUGH I am still discovering new ones, just look at that little Update Date button at the bottom down there! How neat!)), just a great attitude, and I do like the idea of a clean break, a fresh start. I was stagnating on LJ, and maybe this won't change all that much, maybe I'll be just as much of a non-presence here after this one rambling entry, but who knows? The future is wide open or some other shit.
Even if it makes me feel like a total hipster.
Hmm. I'm sure there was more than that. I numbered things and everything, but now I'm drawing a blank.
A. I can has blog! Get used to shit like this. This sort of thing is probably new to most of you, coming from me. This is how I used to use LJ, basically, with a lot of rambling and boring shit. It's nice to know my writing habits haven't changed at all since high sch-OH NO WAIT THAT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE, NEVER MIND.***
3. Tabula Rasa! Since all my circle consists of, now and (let's face it) probably for the foreseeable future, is TR people, I guess this can be a number of its own. Debuting a new character tomorrow, Tracy di Vicenzo a.k.a. JAMES BOND'S WIFE, decided to say fuck it and make it public despite the lousy timing with the move and all, and since I know I'm not the only one, please tag her? She leaves canon on Christmas Day, I can't miss that opportunity. I... really need to slap together some icons for her, stat. As well as for everyone else, since all but Felix are still playing the default icon polka on Dreamwidth.****
Sean EP has been pushed back to the first week in January. Legit just remembered right this second that I was meaning to tag posts in the main comm. This day really kicked my ass, but I'll try to get that done before I crash.
*I don't know if this is something I've ever shared in my online persona, but I am a total whore for boots. Hiking boots, heeled boots, shitkicker work boots, hooker boots, I live for boots. There was a reason nix was so weirded out seeing me in runners all the time in California last summer, guys. New boots = yes.
**OKAY, EXPLANATION: We have this egg timer in the kitchen shaped like a little egg with eyes and a beak, it is adorable. And when we went to Safeway a couple of months ago, I discovered that he's part of a whole set of egg-related kitchen items all shaped like this little guy that I think is just the cutest stupid thing ever. And I bugged my mom like a little kid to buy them but we would never use any of them ever and we knew it so no dice, whatever. And then I got the little egg whisk guy in my stocking and it's such a stupid little thing to remember and just ugh. When the fuck am I ever going to use an egg whisk? I love my mom.
***The footnotes are new. I'm going to blame you people for this one.
****Apparently I move online homes much like I do real life ones. The boxes stay laying around unpacked for-fucking-ever.
4. Your Friendly Neighbourhood Whatever! I need some sort of ridiculous sign-off to replace my old one. I will be accepting written submissions only, print neatly.
5. Tags! Also going to need to figure those out. I never really bothered when LJ implemented them a billion years ago, and I'm horribly inconsistent with them on Tumblr, but I don't know, I want to do this RIGHT. That little empty box is mocking me.
