Ha! I've escaped them! *shifty looks around to make sure they aren't coming for her again*

*coughs*

Anyway, right. Vacation.

So far so good. I haven't killed any of my relatives yet, which is always a good thing. Although my dad's ultra-conservatism and my bible-thumping aunt's xenphobic slurs are starting to REALLY grate on my nerves.

But in seriousness, I've gotten some much needed sleep. I got some cool stuff for holiday gifts, the highlight going to the collectible HP watch- there are only 2500 of them. I got #199, in case anyone cares. ^_~ I can now wear Dan on my wrist 24/7! *.* (Maybe they weren't aware how dangerous this gift truly is.) But it came in the most awesome box- it was designed to look like a wand case!

I also got an electric back massager, which rocks, and gift certificates to Lane Bryant. Yay, clothes!

I got some DVDs and stuff too. All in all, not a bad holiday.

Which reminds me, I REALLY hope you all recieved the stuff I sent you! I know my friends in TN got it, b/c they've all posted in our Yahoo club. I'm just paranoid that no one got them in time!

Anyway, have a smashing rest of the holiday! I don't know when my next chance to post will be, but I'll try not to be too long.

*hugs* Love you all, and happy holidays!

Dear sirs and mesdames:

We regret to inform you that we have had to take Ms. Jen into custody, after having recieved an anonymous call that she was foaming at the mouth and muttering incoherently about young British boys and historical analysis. It's a good thing that we came when we did, as she was beginning to pose a serious threat to herself, and it was truly an act of kindness on our part to put her into a straightjacket.

Visiting will be limited today, for it is Yule, which means we lock on the loonies into their cells to take the day off and party.

However, if you wish to come see her, please let us know, and we will try to make sure she properly takes her tranquilizers. We've been having difficulty with this, as she thinks they are pretty and likes to hang them up in her barred window with stray threads from her nightdress.

And if any of you can tell us what 'Wjcs dkljh wer*& deI +_d9 ewqor-38 nsp oj fls;akf hjdfkj s?Qwskjdhfas idufs iuficw48r7c9jfcj %&*)A#*&RDKdls!' means, we will be most grateful to you, as we feel its meaning may hold the key to unlocking this mysterious psychosis and putting her on the first steps toward healing.

We're not sure how long we'll have to detain her. Her unique disorder is quite an enigma to our doctors, and while we don't wish to alarm you, we fear she may be incurable.

Have a happy holiday! :-)

Yours sincerely,

The cheerful staff of Saint Mungo's Center for the Incurably Insane.

it's a good thing i don't believe in hell... wednesday. december 18, 2002. 10:34am

Because I would be there right now. You know that little Dan problem I have? It's worse. Because he freaking had to go to Tokyo and speak Japanese. It was pretty damned good too, a little broken. But it was the fucking cutest thing I've ever seen. I would say it was the sexiest too, but that was him speaking Parseltongue. *DIES*

So, my life as I know it is over. I'm going to go turn myself in to the cops now. I'll be put in prison the rest of my life where I'm safe. Or rather, where the teen-aged boys will be safe.

Nice knowing you all.

Did I mention I have the hangover from hell and an exam today?

*runs around spastically, shrieking incoherently, beating head on things, and pulling hair out*


Which Personality Disorder Do You Have?

bombshell
Which female sex symbol are you?

brought to you by Quizilla

You're a BOMBSHELL. You're kitten-like and sexy. You don't need expensive rocks, you're so classy you overpower your gems. You tend to put glamour before comfort, but it doesn't take much for you to look glamourous anyhow. Men beg for a chance with you, and you can take your pick because, frankly, you're too good for almost all of them.

Uh, right. I wish.


is it friday yet?... tuesday. december 17, 2002. 12:19pm

I mailed out everyone's cards and gifts today! Hopefully they're all going to the right addresses, and hopefully they'll get there by the end of the this week. It's not much, everyone- just little things to show I'm thinking about you! *hugs*

And it was so sweet! My bosses at work collectively gave me holiday present today! It's that grogeous blue velvety HP CoS planner with all the pretty movie pics in it (like the one you have, Sans!). *.* And Doris (my actual boss) gave me an oceany candle w/ a holder, and Sharon gave me an encyclopedia of mythology! They love me! They really love me! ^_^

S, I may not have agreed with your death penalty post, but I do agree with you on the idea of castration for rapists... and birth control in the water supply. And for what it's worth, I think the idea of banning Santa Clause is stupid too. Btw, it was so great to talk to you last night! As soon as I get my bloody mobile working again, I'll send you the number.

Yay! Radnet is finally back up. I was starting to go through Dan-withdrawal. This is getting serious. I think I have a psychosis and need to seek therapy. The convo would probably go something like this:

therapist: So, what seems to be the problem?

me: Good question. Well, see I happen to be lusting after a 13 year old. Who happens to be famous. Oh and he's British. Maybe you've heard of him.

therapist: ........

me: *babble babble babble*

therapist: *nods, as if caring, while discreetly dialing the nutfarm on his phone*

me: *more babble babble babble*

therapist: *nods more, to keep up apparences, while checking watch to see how long it will take the guys with straight-jackets to come*

Yep, I'll be joining Ken Branaugh soon.

So, does anyone know any good shrinks?

*beats head in Dobby-like fashion against the wall*

I am one sick, sick bitch.


Which guy are you destined to have sex with?

2 down... monday. december 16, 2002. 10:30pm

S mentioned something about archiving in her blog today, so I thought I'd follow suit. I needed it!

Speaking of S, we had a lovely phone convo. *hugs* I was so glad to talk to you, even if it was for only a short while. I miss you!

Today was the first day of finals week. Well, I threw together a 7 page piece of bullshit outline (seriously, I bullshitted the whole thing) for my appointment with my thesis advisor. Apparently the gods are taking pity on me, because she said she was impressed with my progress, and that she "normally has to stand over her students and hound them to get work done," but that I'm (apparently) very self- motivated. *snorts* If only she knew the truth...

Then I got my anth essay done in a record time and turned it in relatively early. So 2 down, 3 to go.

Then I went and spent more money holiday shopping. Good grief, I am so broke. However, I am hoping to mail packages out tomorrow, luvs.

However, I bought my sister this book called Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. It is hilarious. Pick it up sometime, even if you just read it in the book store and don't buy it. It's like Bridget Jones for 16 year olds.

This is a completely random side note, but I feel like ranting about spam. Spam is truly wretched- especially when I get like 30 e-mails from some chick named Barbarella Bootie Jo or something, about her dripping hole. Or how about "Size DOES matter." The doesn't even touch the ones like "cum joyn mee n mai grlz for sum hot axion NOW!!1!." I DON'T CARE! LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE ASSHOLES!

Sorry about that. It just pisses me off. You can only take so much of that bullshit in your inbox everyday, you know?! *growls*

But on to better, more cheerful things...

Which Dysfunctional Care Bear Are You?

The only reason I can see having gotten this was that chose Nietzche on the reading material question. I am generally very passionate about my causes, not apathetic. *shrug*

And completely against my will, I decided to take this quiz for shits and giggles.


What's your Harry Potter slash pairing?
.
By the superbly cool mortari of Serpensortia

Ok, better than Harry/ ANYONE. *shudders* And since Ron/Draco wasn't an option, damn it, I suppose this was the next best thing. Especially after viewing the list of choices. *blanches*

And while I'm on the subject of HP slash, here's another one.

[draco + ron]

*satisfied smirk* Ha, I knew it. But all of you slashers, just remember this is only b/c you can't get H/H on a slash quiz. *thppppppt* :-P

POE
Haunted

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...

Come here
Pretty please
Can you tell me where I am?
You won't you say something
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...

Don't cry,
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Hallways... always

I'll always want you
I'll always need you
I'll always love you

And I will always miss you...

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...

Come here
No I won't say please
One more look at the ghost
Before I'm gonna make it leave
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my tears

I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echos there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...

Father :
What is it Annie?

Daughter :
You think I'll cry? I won't cry!
My heart will break before I cry!
I will go mad.

Wand : willow, contains single hair from the tail of a unicorn; gentle and whispy; perfect for performing enchantments

Pet : snowy owl; gift from a secret admirer at Hogwarts; she is affectionate and reliable, but has a bad habit of eating the snacks my mother sends me in the post. I decided to name her Blodeuwedd, after the Welsh Celtic goddess of flowers, lunar mysteries, and wisdom; her symbols are the owl and the moon.
