procrastination, thy name is Lincoln.
Jan. 7th, 2005 08:25 pmNo seriously.
So. I have been AWOL for a while now. The brand new lovely FAST computer I bought just over a week ago? Has a bad hard drive. Gateway is being qonderful and sending me a new one in exchange. Whish me luck in swapping them out.
In the meantime, just as I knew would happen, I got sucked into City of Heroes. Josh, you soooo need to get your computer able to play this. It is too fun. Sims 2 is being figured out and I am lookign forward to the new expansion (Sims 2: University - or something like that) with great glee.
I have also read my first Harry/Snape story. I am shocked. This pairing actually squicks me something fierce but I found the story quite believable. That helps. AND I have been spending time loading music onto my brand spanking new 40bg iPod. Gotta love new toys. ANDAND I discovered a couple of epic Spike/Xander stories that I am working my way through: Repossession and the Stranger Than series. Lovely, angsty, humorous, and hot. Even the stuff I normally don't like (ie: blood play, fisting, and BDSM are truly hot).
I have to thank people for Christmas cards:
sirkate,
jaciesplace,
adelate,
kinkykittens (thank you for the magnet!),
alittleblue (lordy! the boxers and cds are fantastic!),
giddyupnow (oh. my. god. How did you know I have aad love on for Disney techno mixes???? Thank you!),
stormwynd (that card made me snort soda),
otherdeb,
canadiankracka (Chicagooooo!),
escapist_xbq (eeeee. the cds! the snippet! madlovealloveryou!),
ninjetti75,
seiyaharris (that card you made!),
canalbaby (the trading cards! and Disney! I miss Disney.),
tallories (thanks you forthe CD mix!),
msktrnanny (you think I would have been ready for it, what with everyone's reactions to your surprises in the cards. I wasn't. The hallway has little snowflakes still),
crownzeal (the boxers so soft, the card so yum),
_karebear (an NSYNC card! With a Kenny label on it. Yummeh!),
nothinggold,
chootoy (the calendar. THE CALENDAR!), and
jcsillusion. If Iforgot youm I'm sorry, I think I misplaced a couple of cards.
THANK YOU ALL!!! This holiday season was a fun one!
And to those I owe wishlist items to...I haven't forgotten. They are all sitting on the table ready to go. I just have to get the load of them down to the post office. In the snow. On foot. Yeah, sorry. I have arranged to get a ride down there Tuesday. Don't feel too bad, my parents still have their box sitting in the living room as well.
I need to upload icons again. Get more involved in LJ this year, and get my damn eyes fixed. They are doing something rather strange now. I don't have any depth perception but I swear, now my vision is like those 3-d books you had as a kid, where everything was on it's own plane. It's beginning to freak me out. It's almost exactly liek nightmares I used to have as a kid. Only while awake.
I may have also gone on an Amazon shopping spree. Don Callender's 'Mancer series, the Elfquest prose story collections, Ranma 1/2 seasons 1 to 3. CDs from people I can't get at work Susan Egan, Megan McDonough, Anthony Rapp and R&P.
If I'm going to dothe whole music sharing thing like I want I need ot get a website to share files on. I dislike yousendit. But I have finally learned how to save a file that won't actually download for me. So I guess Hasweb here I come.
I must shower and shave. Wil be cutting my hair into aa style I want to see if it works. If it does I shall have it for Challenge. Now must decide on a color. A permanent type dye, not that stuff that washes out when it gets wet and stains. Hmmmm.
I think it's time to cycle my default icon. I've had this one for two years now. I can't remember who gave it to me.
maybe I'll do the slash meme of doom.

Date: 2005-01-09 02:43 am (UTC)I've played CoH a little bit on my bro's laptop.
What server do you play on, under what name(s)?
no subject
Date: 2005-01-12 02:11 am (UTC)sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, procrastination=me.
So. Protector server with 2 characters I am using to test the waters. Blood Shimmer (tanker) and Golden Boi (blaster). I couldn't resist the name of the last one. Stolen directly from a popslash AU fic, I must admit.

Date: 2005-01-12 02:36 am (UTC)HeheheheeSnickerGiggle!!
Dude, I remember that story, from last year's SeSa, that thing was AWESOME.
Heh.
I may have to make a Bluebird JC-esque character to match that. Which is hysterical, since he won't be able to fly until level 10 or something either, hee.
Too bad, I don't think you can give a CoH character wings, can you?
Ah well, fun to daydream and snicker over.
does Golden Boi have a perfect 'fro?

Date: 2005-01-12 02:49 am (UTC)I am so tempted to make an EnviroMan just because.
Where and what do you play, if I might ask??
no subject
Date: 2005-01-12 03:16 am (UTC)I can make a BlueJay (or whatever mutation on the codename it requires to let through, lol) on Protector no problem.
I currently play (on those rare blue moon occasions that I =DO= play) on the Champion server, as either Zynthos or Ninjetti (Magic Scrappers) or occasionally Magmarr (Mutant Tanker).
And Duuuuuuuude, Enviroman, hah.
I knew there was somebody else cool in that thing, heh. Not that Chris & Joey & Lance weren't cool... ..but don't quite lend themselves to CoH, do they?
