anyone doing nanowrimo this year? i'm feeling pretty confident this time around -- even have a vague idea of a story in my head! i'm counting that as a victory already.

those of you also joining in: have you thought of anything/everything yet? plots? cool characters? scenes that have absolutely no meaning in a story but sound pretty awesome in your mind?

oh and if you'd like to be nanobuddies :3 my username on the website is lori4277.

FEELING BORED? HAVE AN EXTRA TWELVE SECONDS TO SPARE? VOTE GRYFFINDOR. THANKS. :D

Why have these gone out of style?? I think they're just as hilarious as cat macros, if not more in some cases. Ah, Boromir. You have brought me such joy in life.





Also, my brother's coming down today and staying until Sunday. After that my stepsister and her two kids will be here, and shortly after that my best friend is flying down from Boston. And then (?!) the boyfriend's foster-brother is deploying to Iraq from Ft. Bragg, so we'll be heading down there. Wtf?? All of a sudden, I have plans. For a month. Not really sure what to do with myself, here.

P.S. If anyone is curious as to living proof how fast time flies, I've got some new photos of Riley here. Feels like just yesterday I was posting the ultrasound pic! :3

mark wahlberg got married. all my hopes and dreams of shoveling his mother's driveway to get in with the family are now dashed. oh, cruel world. :(

this was basically my night last night:

synchrofreak (10:13:24 PM): LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ficlette (10:14:14 PM): LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL IM DYING
ficlette (10:14:15 PM): DYING
synchrofreak (10:14:17 PM): ME TOO
synchrofreak (10:14:18 PM): ME TOO
synchrofreak (10:14:19 PM): FLAMSDOIFJASDFADIOSFJASDFIO

hahahahahahahaha PURE RON/LAV LOVE THERE.



also, just wondering -- is there some sort of lj comm/website/whatever that does a book swap across states?? i still don't know anyone here in this god forsaken state and i need some serious book reccage, preferably with the book to back it because i'm low on funds. does anyone know of something along those lines??

one more thing -- has anyone ever seen the show lazytown on noggin?? i keep noggin on because riley laughs when they sing songs, but man. this show is the creepiest thing i've ever seen.

i'm actually going to get to go to the midnight show tonight, thanks to my guy agreeing to pull an all-nighter (he works at 5 AM) and my disregard for things like "sleep" and "very early mornings". it's gonna be great. :D

also, many of the flist is headed off to azkatraz, and i wish you all a FANTASTIC time!! it makes me a little sad i won't be making it this year :( like i was telling irrevokable earlier, i'm finally:

A.) legal in the united states and
B.) not pregnant

and yet i'm not headed for a weekend of drunken debauchery with all my favorite HP nerds?! terrible. so terrible.

anyways, see everyone for the post-movie madness that is lj arouuuund 2:34 AM. well, i won't see you then. i'll be sleeping. but i'll check it in the morning!! 8D

p.s. i did end up joining a new game, since sami asked oh-so-nicely via facebook. i'll be playing over at kerbobbled; i'll give you three guesses as to which character i'll be taking over. except the first two guesses don't count.

ron's birthday is right around the corner. it makes me weep for the lost lives of rons_on_fire, comeoncannons, firecrotchhh, keeper_king, and the rest.

man, you think i would have branched out a bit there. 8D

i hope everyone who celebrated the holiday yesterday had a very enjoyable day! i know i'm not big on updating here, but after having a woefully short conversation with irrevokable yesterday it occurred to me that i never let anyone know what became of my big news. so, without further ado, ( the arrival! )
