the crappy town where I'm a hero

I got cards! Thank you, Bettina and Mal! I ♥ y'all both! (am not coding because I'm crossposting from DW and therefore will fuck it up)

Speaking of fucking up... I had a dentist (well, hygienist) appointment yesterday that I totally flaked out on. I didn't realize it was the 28th already. IDEK, man. The lady I talked to at the office laughed at me but was very understanding. I don't know if they'll charge me for it or not. She didn't mention it and I was so wrapped up in embarrassment that I didn't think to ask. I rescheduled for the 11th when I have to go to the clinic for blood work anyway, so maybe I can remember this time.

This-- Subject: So if food is a fandom-- just might be my favorite thread in the history of ever. I actually giggled at a few of the comments.


Oh and speaking of crossposting, I really do not like the changes in the LJ commenting, so I'm going to start using my DW more and if you wouldn't mind commenting there, it'd be great but I won't remove commenting from the LJ posts because I hate not having a choice so I'm leaving it up to you. If I have you on my LJ flist but not my DW circle, please let me know so I can rectify that. I will not be deleting any duplicate journals from my LJ flist since my LJ is mostly flocked now and I don't want to remove access to older posts and comments. IDK, though, I've tried to use my DW more often before and it never lasts long. But it's not like I even post that much anywhere anyway.

Today might be the day I get caught up on reading both flist and circle. Maybe. Dunno. It depends on whether the (completely illegal*) Vicodin I'm probably going to have to take in a few minutes makes me sleepy or not. (I thought the Loestrin was supposed to make my periods more manageable but after 5 months on it...it's not.)

In more fannish news...I enjoyed the Doctor Who Christmas special quite a bit (as long as I neither think too much about it or read any discussion at all) and am very, very much looking forward to more Sherlock this weekend.

*illegal because my doctor kind of sucks. I told her the pain was so bad that I had to take my late MIL's Vicodin because OTC stuff just didn't do anything and all she said was "yeah, you shouldn't do that" and didn't volunteer to give me a prescription for painkillers of my own.

....so I made my own.


( well, I amuse myself at least )

Kind of Bob/Spencer-ish. For mrsquizzical. ~650 words.

Title: Welcome to Atlantis

Wordcount: ~1100

Note: part of the stars 'verse, based off a prompt from mahoni

( Major Lorne seemed a little too blase about possible world-ending shenanigans for Bob's taste )

Trying to find new users to add to my circle over here by going through interests is very frustrating. Most of the journals I find that I might want to add haven't been updated in months.

Then I see that I haven't updated in 26 weeks. OOPS.

Anyway. Um, are there any active Alkaline Trio or Skiba fans over here? I'll also take PATD and PStump fans. Is there anyone in your circle that you think would be my kind of person? Please, leave me recs.

I know I have said this before and failed to follow up but I really do want to start using this thing. I just need more people to read and a better layout. And I need to set up Semagic or some other client because ugh webposting. I can't remember what tags I've used from one post to the next. heh.

But that's something for later this evening. Right now I'm going to go out and enjoy the sunshine and plant some flowers. I love spring. ♥

FUCK YEAH! 907 words of the fic that dare not speak its name (lest Nemo beat me up). Hey, maybe by posting over here, I can avoid the beat down. LOL

I'm am writing this fucker. That's how I'm celebrating finishing my help_haiti fic (distressingly late).

I need a happier Bob icon over here. hee.

Have changed my journal style again in search to find one as readable as my LJ one. Still not happy. Will try again in about a week or so. Or maybe I will just leave it until some more become available here at DW so it's easier to change.

I just went through and removed a bunch of openids of people who now have journals from my info page. I don't see what the point of having those still out there if they're not in use anymore. It makes the page look neater without them. I wish there was a way to remove a deleted one using the web interface, but if there is, I didn't see it. On LJ, I'd use semagic, but I don't use a client for DW yet. I should probably look into that if I'm going to use it much, because I'm not a fan of posting from the web. I like my keyboard shortcuts too much. :)

Does all the crossposting confuse anyone else? I'm never sure exactly how far back on DW I've already read because I see a lot of the same posts from LJ. So I'm wondering if read it here or I'd just seen it over there.

I just realized that all my posts on DW to date have made me look really simple minded. What a lovely first impression to be giving!
