stuff

[coreopsis]

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.

Like you, lately I'm thinking of using DW more and crossposting. This last event didn't affect me personally but it's foreshadowing none the less.

*sigh*

For me it's a cumulative effect. I think. It's just been one thing after another and Igrick's attitude about the changes and people's objections was just the last straw.

If/when I get a new job, I think I'm going to make this a paid account. I miss my icons. :)

Yay, glad you got it! :D

I always forget to read my DW friendslist, so most likely will comment on LJ when I see a post. It really depends on my mood and where I see a post first. ;)

I actually got it on Christmas Eve. Sorry I didn't get around to letting you know until now. I love the adorable bookmark! (maybe it will encourage me to read actual books more ;)

I've been terrible about keeping up with my DW flist, but I'm going to try to be better.

[bettina]

No worries!

(maybe it will encourage me to read actual books more ;)

Hahaha, know what you mean. I haven't read that many books in the past few years either. I think I've read 8 in 2011. And then I see people on my friendslist who've read almost 100 books. I'm in awe!

This is me, commenting to encourage DWification. *g* (I've actually been considering consolidating my LJ read-filters -- I broke things up a long time ago because it was too much to follow, but now I seem to go days with little or nothing new on those. Not that this is actually relevant to anything you said.) IDK, I like it here. ::wiggles fingers hypnotisingly:: It's shiiiinyyyyyy.

I once flaked out completely on an appointment for.... an EKG I think it was? And I didn't even realise it until months later, since they didn't call me to ask where I was, and plans changed so it was no longer something I needed to get done. I hope they don't charge you for it. I also hope you feel better soon!

I think the main reason I forgot (besides brainfog and sickness) was that usually I get an automated e-mail, text, and phone call reminding me that I have an appointment and I didn't this time. I guess the holidays threw things off or something.

I am trying to embrace the DW. I'm just really resistant to change so it takes some work. :D
