So, nobody reads me except the Wenches, but sure.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me.* In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

Re: previous update out of the blue; I'm single, and certain people are asshats. Moving on.

Oh, and I have mono. So I've been sick for two weeks, instead of just last week, and will continue to feel like shit for at least another week, and can't fence until TMT at the end of May. Yippee-kai-ay.

Actual purpose of posting: I bought flip-flops today. I hate flip-flops. I have always hated flip-flops. But these are cute, and more importantly, show off my toes, which are very entertainingly pink and sparkly and decal-ed. (OMFG, they make what is essentially a whitework brush for nail polish, in pen form IN MULTIPLE COLORS. I'm so fucking illuminating my toenails when I get tired of the pink... /ubernerd.)

And I theoretically needed another pair of shoes, and these only kind of count anyway, right?

So, this will only even kind of make sense to a small handful of people, but I'm less worried about that and more worried about just writing it down. If you're really that freaking curious, ask.

I'm down from a harem of four (or three and a half, depending on how you look at it, in two directions...), to a single relationship, which is still Romeo and Juliet in action, but currently less in the "and then everybody dies" way and more in the middle-school teenagers "oooo, you're shiny" kind of way. I'm pretty happy about this. I'm less happy that other people's sophomoric squabbles and idiocy have entirely too much potential to fling things back toward "and then everybody dies", but there's not a lot I can do about it at the moment except smile, keep my mouth shut, and not get caught leaving certain people's tents on event mornings. (Yeah, it's 95% SCA bullshit, go figure. Where else do I spend my free time?)

On the halfway flip side of this, one of the former harem members is really not getting the message on the 'former' part.... and I'm trying not to be a bitch about it. *sigh*

Outside of any of this, dood, it's my spring break this week, and I've been sick since Saturday. Karma can fucking lick me. I haven't killed anyone, even if they really deserved it. I haven't duct-taped my kids to the wall. I haven't even been mean to April's stupid dog. I'd better get something good out of this. Like a pony. That can teleport.

>.

Um.. so, I <3 my orange kitteh like woah.

(This one:)


She just actually helped me kill a spider THE SIZE OF MY FACE in the dining room.

Srsly, shouldn't all the huge fucking bugs live in Texas, where all the other huge stuff is? Or maybe Australia? A few more wouldn't hurt them, right?

Am totally making April buy cat-Liz some spiffy cat treats for not having to deal with that thing herself when she gets up in 2 1/2 hours.

So, my day actually started at 9PM on Thursday, which is when I got up from my migraine-induced 'nap'. But then I did stuff, and took pictures because I was all proud of my bread. So, um. Oversharing. *nods*

( Pictures!Collapse )

Dear Florida natives, snowbirds, and tourists:

Most of you are at least passingly familiar with Florida in the rainy season. If you are not, you should especially heed the following:

Should you happen to be driving, particularly on the toll roads/interstate, and it begins to rain, as it invariably will;

1) TURN YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS ON.

2) when (not if; unless you are driving a tank, it will) your car starts to hydroplane, please do not slam on your brakes and dive for the nearest ditch/median. For one thing, it causes a chain reaction.

3) the fact that it is raining does not magically change the speed limit. It is not 20, nor is it 95. It is in fact the same damn speed as it was before it started raining.

Love and Kisses,

Manda

So, roomie and I went flea-marketing today, before going and buying MORE food (I really have no idea why we do this... I mean, it gets eaten eventually, but we could seriously feed several small armies for a good while).

Anyhow. I found THE MOST PERFECT piece of art for our dining room. I'll try to get a pic up eventually, but it's this old-looking sign, framed in dark wood, that says:

Rules of the Inn

No Thieves, Fakirs, Rogues, or Tinkers
No Skulking Loafers or Flea-Bitten Tramps

No 'Slap an' Tickle' o' the Wenches
No Banging o' Tankards on the Tables
No Dogs Allowed in the Kitchen
No Cockfighting

Flintlocks, Cudgels, Daggers, and Swords to be handed to the INNKEEPER for safe-keeping.



!!!!

So the new theme for the kitchen/dining room is the Pirate Inn. I giggle every time I see the sign. *wins*

So, that's officially my new favorite-ever phrase. Of... okay, probably the next twenty minutes or so, but what can I say? I love words.

I suppose I could have gone with my original plan, which was something along the lines of 'Holy catatonia, Batman! She's posting!', but eh. Oh, fangirls to the fabulous elle_blessing for my spifftastic new layout, 'cause it's not like I was ever going to change it, and seriously, YAY FOR KITTENS!

Right, so the actual point of this was to pimp the album I downloaded last night, because it makes me giggle inappropriately and dance like an idiot (not in quite the same way that really horrible music like Pussycat Dolls and that Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy song make me dance like an idiot, but that's like, shaking my ass in the kitchen while baking brownies/unloading the dishes and listening to my mp3player ridiculous). [*coff* this update is brought to you courtesy of the word 'overshare'. enjoy the rest of your programming.]

I EXIST! Sure, it's mostly only because jandjsalmon poked me with the Voice Post Meme, which is hella amusing, but still.

So, here goes.

Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post, and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.



1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favourite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.

That was actually pretty fun. May have to do it again sometime. Maybe that'll be how I update LJ.. just call in and babble for five minutes...

I am typing this at the direction of my nannying charge, who thought it was crazy that people wrote in journals and then aired their personal lives to the web.  Ah, if only he knew.  He says hi, by the way.
