Return Of The l33

[xifeng]

So I'm back now. Actually, I was back yesterday when AT&T came out to fix the Internets while I was at work, but didn't feel like LJing then due to the throes of irrational paranoia et al and would likely have bitten someone's head off. (Irrational paranoia isn't ended, but has been greatly reduced; I am unlikely to bite anyone's head off unless they piss me off. Then all bets are off.)

Things that have happened (exciting and not):
+ I am attempting to fix my life. Again.
+ At some point between the last time I weighed myself (sometime in the spring) and last Sunday, I apparently dropped ten pounds. Experts speculate that I may have done nothing whatsoever to deserve this, but hey, I'm not complaining.
+ I have started to clean my room on the grounds that since I'm likely stuck in this shitpit for a while, my room might as well look like someplace where a teenaged girl with ADHD a grown-ass woman lives. I haven't been at it very long but it is already a vast improvement.
+ In the process thereof, I found that Callice apparently let herself into my bedroom on a regular basis and peed on a huge amount of things. I knew that she occasionally got in there, and that because I often didn't know she was there, I occasionally shut her in there and she occasionally peed on things as a result. Apparently, she was in there and peeing on things a lot more often than I thought. I now have huge piles of laundry that may or may not be completely ruined. My cat keeps on giving. (On the off chance you're just tuning in to the long-running, if not terribly popular, Wang Xi-feng Show, as I know a couple of you are: Callice was my last cat. She died in September.)
+ I found my Russian dictionary (the good one, not the Langenshit one) and was pleased, as I had been wondering what the Russian word for "seahorse" was. It's morskoi konyok, which unfortunately does not lend itself well to adorable nicknames for the adorable duokinneas, who will have to remain a plain old regular Angloglot seahorse.
+ I failed to find my elementary Russian textbooks, which I assume are somewhere in the bowels of my room. I know I did not sell them, because foreign language books are unsaleable at IU. AWESOME JOB l33.
+ Our tomatoes are turning red and yellow. (Yeah, we grow yellow tomatoes.)
+ I fucked up my federal income taxes, apparently. I received a refund check last week, and (true to form) a couple of days later a letter followed which informed me that I was too entitled to a refund because I miscalculated my tax burden. No complaints.
+ forgottensanity! I received your package the day before yesterday! You will be pleased to know that I have not yet opened the present. (O HAI WUT IZ TIHS THING CALLD RESTRAINT.)
+ On the off chance you wanted to talk to me on AIM, which means this next is mostly for galhea, work schedules and pavement-pounding unfortunately mean I am not going to be on too often in the next few days. I'll try but no promises, k?
+ So glad to be back.

I don't understand this concept of ~life~.

Yellow tomatoes are not weird.

Any LJ V-gifts?

HAVE SOME ZHUGE LIANG COUNTING PI!! :D

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I think it's one of those things where you either get it or you don't. Sort of like the allure of the Twilight series. Except with less sparklepires.

No, they're not! They're DELICIOUS!

I did notice a new one. Thank you :D

BUT IS HE COUNTING PIE OR PI???

[samanosukesgirl.livejournal.com]

Can I buy life?

Red, green, yellow. HAVE THEM ALL HERE.

Who said it was from me?? D:!!

PI, as in the 3.14 number. I calls my icon of him that. :B

Also:

I've never seen it in stores, but maybe Amazon has it. Amazon has EVERYTHING! And now I really wish I hadn't wasted the past half-hour on Amazon looking at books about Tokugawa Japan, because omg WANTWANTWANT. D:

Stoplight tomatoes ftw!

Well, I kinda guessed since you whoever it was referenced Monkey.

In Indiana, our state legislature (backintheday) declared the value of pi to be 4, which makes no sense since it is obviously 3.14 not 3.5. W/e Indiana state legislature, I AM DISAPPOINTED IN ALL OF YOU.

Takeshi! Get up here so we can get this party started!

Search my boyfriend there. THEY HAVE DON'T GIVE A DAMN!! D:!! They BETTER have it on their Canadian site. I'll have to BEG an American friend to buy it for me if they don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DON'T!! huuuuuuuu huuuuuuuuuuu ;_; I FUCKING NEED IT.

Could have been Tokugawa, you know. :o

He's handcuffed to my bed.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

WOW THAT IS A LOT OF EXCLAMATION POINTS. @_@

Ieyasu always forgets. Always.

SO IN A SENSE TAKESHI IS GETTING THAT PARTY STARTED. XD

[samanosukesgirl.livejournal.com]

HK Flix is still trying to find it for me. My b-day is shortly. I must beg an American friend to buy it for me off of Amazon.com

Hideyoshi is Monkey, what's Tokugawa?

He's waiting. And has been for a minute or two (make that a few hours). BDSM A GO GO WITH HE AND I!!

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

We'll see. I don't know what the ol' finances are going to look like around early August. I do have a car loan I'm paying on and a credit card debt I'm trying to eliminate, you know.

I don't know! I never gave it much thought, and I'm not sure if anybody ever gave him a goofy nickname when he was alive. (They were probably much too afraid.)

OMG YOU CAN'T KEEP HIM WAITING! x)

[samanosukesgirl.livejournal.com]

It's not expensive and shipping from you guys to here isn't expensive, either. :o I WANT IT SO BAD!! huuuuuuu huuuuuuuu!! I'll give you bananas in exchange!!

Lemur. There.

It's the dawn of a new day. He's still BDSM'd.

Awesome stuff with the weight loss. Ten pounds is a lot. You must be doing something right, so continue with that. :-)

What is the Russian word for "Cat"? So that I may introduce myself correctly when arriving in Saint Petersburg.

Also awesome that the package arrived. I am actually surprised as I didn't get around to posting it until Monday, so it got there pretty quickly.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

If I had any idea what it was, I would. XD I'll see where I am at the end of July, maybe.

Since you are a female Cat, it is koshka. The Moar You Know (tm). Also, I am v. jealous of your forthcoming sojourn in Russia! Take lots of pictures and tell me about it ^_^

Every once in a while, the postal service gets something right. Bob and Sven must be on vacation.

Happy Birthday!

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dethorats]

Happy belated b-day first of all! XD you've beaten me to the punch for a few months but I shall be joining you shortly.

And congratulations on the weight loss! That's always a nice thing to see, as are refund checks!

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I just turned 25 and intend to redo my twenties until I get them right XD

Thanks! I am trying to see if I can lose a little more weight (and, for that matter, make a little more money XD). Also, you'll get a kick out of this: I ordered another volume of Samurai Deeper Kyo as a happy-bday-to-me sort of thing. It's largely the sort of thing that Amazon doesn't carry anymore so you have to go through the merchants, and I ordered my volume from...

...wait for it...



Strange how things come about.
