Random Things Of Happy
Mar. 21st, 2006 09:17 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
stoney321- Seeing my bluebonnets pop up out of the ground. And everything else, but *points to self* Texan through and through. The only thing better than bluebonnets are my yellow roses.
- Cool banners for my RPG. Check it out! *loves our Jen Aniston for several reasons, but this one especially today*
- Random, out of the blue phone calls from friends like my Kaka Ako, who I've missed terribly.
- AWESOME MUSIC MAGAZINES in the mail, complete with DVDS and CDS inside (Paste Mag.), a lovely gift from my Kaka Ako, for the record. (Seriously! How cool is that?)
- My younger sister who has been cracking me the hell up, and also keeping me sane.
- SUNSHINE. (*sings: Texas, Our Texas...*)
- My Ru
- Getting a random comment for a fic I wrote over a year ago, with someone desperate for more. (The Ewan/Hayden RPS)
- Getting hardline Joss fans to read outside their comfort zone and trying something else I've written. (For those that have read my stuff outside of Jossverse, thanks. I'm a sucker for feedback, ain't even gonna lie.)
- Tanned feet. (what? I kinda have pretty feet. They're better with a tan. It's a thing.)
- Returning health to my home skillet - also: Sundays. She gets it.
- Teaching myself how to make a torrent. *cough* If anyone needs help finding something, just, you know, ASK. (I'm on the Pirate Bay under my user name here.)
- MILAGRO SILVER. I made an icon! *GIP* Feel free, should you want it. I don't know WHY, since my icon skilz are weak.
I'm sure I'll think of more. TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY! No, really! It is! Well, it will be if you MAKE it one! *sends positive beams to the world*

Date: 2006-03-21 07:43 am (UTC)You know you want my crappy icon. YOU KNOW IT. There should be a cheap flight to Dallas from Anywhere, USA for the sole purpose of having me pick up the traveler, take them to a good Tex-Mex dive, and ply that person with good tequila and quesadillas.
IT IS WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING. Or, you know... a bad day better. Hello, Swm. *beams warmth to you*

Date: 2006-03-21 08:16 am (UTC)Those Texas Bluebonnets, how sweetly they grow
O're all the wide prairies, they're scattered like snow
They make all the meadows as blue as the skies
Reminding me of my darlin' Laura's
bluebrown eyes.Okay. So get colored contacts and it'll work better.
The banner!!! How much do I love that Colin Firth is peeking out from behind JLo's ass? Hahahahaha!
Wait...where was Busey? *goes to look* Okay - he's there. Fab job by Miss Jen.
I will play tonight! Yes! *still laughing at Sundays*
I'm behind, like, a million threads. *is sad*
God. A weight has been lifted, and I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touched the face of God.
Or, in other words: Oooo-Wheee!

Date: 2006-03-21 08:33 am (UTC)Why is the wind kicking up JUST as I'm getting ready to go play outdoors? The world? She is a cruel bitch. I am going to the meat market and gettin' some crawpuppies fer a boil t'nite. Mmmmm, mmmm!
I remember being in school in Utah, finding a creek on a hike that was CRAWLING with crawdads, catching a bucket full and watching everyone run away in horror. THE ONLY GIRLS that would eat them with me (and seriously: SO MANY) were my Japanese and Chinese roommates. THEY UNDERSTOOD GOOD EATING.
This has nothing to do with anything other than YUM FOOD. I need to add that to my list.

Date: 2006-03-21 08:41 am (UTC)You run get some fishin' line or some thread, and I'll get busy a-rollin' up this here bacon. Crawdads! Woo-Whee! *smacks lips*
Lord, gal, that's the best idea you've had in ages!
*drives to Texas* *slides off I-35 and is horribly wounded, due to hands greasy from bacon*

Date: 2006-03-21 08:54 am (UTC)They hell, Sue? Bacon is for EATING. Did you bring the crab boil? New potoatoes? Split cobs?
no subject
Date: 2006-03-21 09:07 am (UTC)Chicken? For crawfish giggin'? What in the cat hair? That's way too expensive, darlin' - you's gonna need that money to build a wig lean-to onto my Hollywood Will's Backyard Home (http://users.livejournal.com/_willferrell/12721.html?thread=559281#t559281).
Now, you pick you up a pound 'o Korn King bacon, and them crawdads will just crawl up yore line.

My once-formerly brown eyes were puppy-dog brown because they were the exact same color as our black lab/mix dog.
Now they are green.
See?
I'm actually going to have to change my eye color on my DL next time I renew. They let you do that, right?

Date: 2006-03-21 04:21 pm (UTC)I had crawfish for the very first time a couple weeks ago when my friend's boyfriend who was originally from New Orleans had his annual Mardi Gras Crawfish feed. I wasn't sure at first about eating something that looked like an alien, but they were yummy!

Date: 2006-03-21 08:55 am (UTC)Them bluebonnets sound very nice. You do know I'm not gonna get flowers for like, another month, right? I miss early springs.

*flashes icon*
Date: 2006-03-21 09:35 am (UTC)So funneh. 'specially when they yell, all serious and stuff.
I remember this one: this guy was yelling (something, think it was "Kill!") and the subtitles showed "KWAAAAAAN!!!"
hee.

Date: 2006-03-21 09:37 am (UTC)Another good one: "I am scare to be alone. I scare you will not returned."
(Although it was cool that I could listen in Traditional, Mandarin, or Cantonese as well as Japanese. This did not affect the subtitles.)

Ask Evan if he wants to learn about Vermiculture. Aunt Laura wants another

Date: 2006-03-21 10:13 am (UTC)Getting hardline Joss fans to read outside their comfort zone and trying something else I've written.
I'm not a hardline Joss fan... It's just my first love. I never ever ever ever read fan fic or pr0n online before my little Spike addiction. So reading other stuff is like the first time you kiss a different boy, or the first time you give someone a blow job, or the first time you're in an threesome... You know, different and scary, but you might like it! :)

Date: 2006-03-21 04:30 pm (UTC)My roomate is insisting that those plants are daffodils even though I've never had a daffodil pop up its little head. I have tulips! And irises! (irisii?) and then at the end of the summer I have surprise lilies. If they are daffodils they have never ever bloomed since we moved in 6 years ago.
cough, and um...
Did I succeed in making Stoney go WTF? hee hee. I've actually only done two of those three things. I'll let you decide which two you think it is.
that was for about four of you. :D
You're just corrupting your whole friends list, aren't you? Do you watch the show House? Because I could probably also force myself to read House/Wilson fic...
And thanks again! You're welcome! I wouldn't read it if it was crap!

Date: 2006-03-22 12:11 pm (UTC)where would I have gone to set my lj to block other pics? all my ljs seem to be defaulted to not let me see certain pictures and i don't see where it would allow me to change whatever setting it is that's stopping me.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-22 12:44 pm (UTC)then scroll towards the bottom where it gives you the option of checking a box so you can "use placeholders for images" in posts. If this isn't checked, then I have no idea what's going on with the pic blockage...

Date: 2006-03-21 02:26 pm (UTC)(Fish is cool? I have too many veggie friends! I can't remember who eats what!)
no subject
Date: 2006-03-21 02:30 pm (UTC)I eat fish, yes. And dairy. It's hard for me to imagine giving up fish, because we ate that more than regular meat growing up, and it's such a staple of the Greek side of the family and then the New England locale where I was raised. And somehow it seems to me better to eat harvested fish instead of animals that are bred on farms and in pens and...yes.
But who knows, maybe one day I will stop eating it. Some types of seafood I've never liked (clams/oysters, yuck), and other types I can eat on occasion but not often (lobster/crabs/shrimp -- they look too animal-like to me, and sometimes taste too meaty). But most other fish I eat happily and...yes, that is the long answer. :D
