Brain dump!

foxmonkeyI've been a major slug about posting the last couple of weeks. Work's been weird, just, those kind of weeks where on Friday all you want to do is pop your brain out and not think. ;-p Aiiiii! I've been cruising my friend's page and making the odd comment here and there, but overall, not so much with the posting.
Hooray! It's actually going to be spring soon! The transition from winter to spring is less graceful than the one from summer to fall to winter... I know why the cats zoom from room to room looking wild-eyed with their tails twitching, 'cause that's the way I feel, in a FAR less energetic way. There's something in the air, you feel it coming, but it still looks all grey and blah outside and icky. Spring! I'm looking forward to the greening of my world, Mother Nature. I trust you'll be getting on that soon, yes? Yes.
Hooray! I love driving the new vehicle without snow or ice on the ground. Being my first SUV-ish type vehicle, I was a little nervous about it. But all the reports I read online are true, it *does* handle like a car. Fabulous! I love it with the fury of a thousand burning suns. If Hubs crashes this one, I'll have to seriously do something painful to his body.
Also! I've lived through ujournal, deadjournal, greatestjournal and...something else (edited to add: insane journal), but I see more and more people from dreamwidth. I am musing about this.
Went out for happy hour with my friends Friday (mistyped at first as "happier hour" HAHAHAHAHA!), and drank a bit too much. A fuzzy Navel (mmmmmmmmmmm), followed by margaritas a-plenty, followed by Cosmos. Luckily, hubsmonkey is a trouper (WHEN HE'S NOT CRASHING MY VEHICLES) and came to pick me up. I thought about jumping online when I got home but I was surprised to see that it was 11:30 p.m. so sensibility won out and I went to bed instead. I was a good girl and had four aspirin with some water before bed, and woke up hangover free the next morning. Hooray! Oooh, I forgot to add wine to the list of beverages above. If anyone should have been a hurting puppy the next day, it was I. But I didn't suffer at all! I drank some ice water while guzzling alcohol too, so that probably helped. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the first of my yearly drinking sprees (edited to add: I usually drink about two times a year). I had fun with my friends. :-)
Nothing else interesting happening. I feel fannish today but I don't know yet what I want to do. Hmmmm.
Also, I hate the time change. ;-p I think I shall swap out Robot Snowman with Flowers for a more seasonal icon. If I have one. ::thinks::

Date: 2010-03-14 05:10 pm (UTC)LOL! That's actually an excellent suggestion. I thought about this the other day. I want to go through my WIPs and see if I have anything that's a few tweaks away from posting...

Honestly, I have no idea why I wasn't a blurry, achy mess yesterday, I really should have been. In the absolute crazy noise of the joint I told the waitress I wanted a peach margarita which she misheard as pitcher of margaritas. I should have known there was a disconnect when she asked how many glasses I wanted. Me, a little befuddled said "One," and she looked impressed and kind of who am I to judge before she walked away. She probably thought I was the most hardcore chick EVAR. So yeah, quite a surprise when she arrived with my drink. HAHAHAHA! A pitcher! So yeah, I drank some of it ::looks shifty:: and topped off the other margarita glasses at my table during the rest of the time we were there.
It was a much happier hour than the usual, and after the pitcher arrived, it became happier still. ;-)

Date: 2010-03-15 12:15 am (UTC)Thanks woman! I'm trying to weigh the necessity of another journal. I know there's going to be a tipping point (possibly in the not too distant future) where it makes sense for me to move, but I don't know if I'm there yet. :-( Is there a big Holmes presence there? Will you maintain both for a while, or are you planning to jump entirely soon?
Also! If I slide something short your way, would you give it a quick eyeball for me? It's a snippet from what was supposed to be a much longer work, and I'm planning to post around March 18th if I get my ass in gear. It doesn't matter that you're not in the fandom, I'd just want you to read for clarity. If you'd rather not, that's cool too! :-)

I'm always happy to look over something for you :)

Date: 2010-03-15 01:16 am (UTC)::squee!:: Thank you! It's even shorter than I thought at first, so it shouldn't take much time at all. I'll try to have it for you by tomorrow evening. :-D
Let me send you the code -- you can set up a free place holder journal.
Thank you! foxmonk @ gmail . com It'll be fun checking out a new place.
