stoney321#1. I'm re-reading a bunch of fairy tales (Grimm's of course) for a writing project I'm working on, and came across the following passage: "Little worm," cried [the Giant], "why are you playing with my balls? Who gave you strength to do it?" The king's son looked up...
Ahahahaha! I'm a perv. I can't help it.
#2. Dear people who dl torrents, hit 100%, and then LOG OFF: the fourteen of us hanging at 84.5% since Saturday are not amused. SEED, people. It's not hard.
#3. I just found the most PERFECT gift for Em's upcoming birthday, and I'm so excited for her upcoming fifth b-day, yay! (Snowglobe, with Belle from Beauty and the Beast, two of her favorite things.)
#4. It's not special when ALL OF Y'ALL are getting triple digits. Now we Texans have to have quadruple digits or something for "we can take the heat" bragging rights. Heh. Bless y'all's little burnin' up hearts.
#5. Those of you needing hugs and good wishes today, my brain and heart parts are filled with them for you.

I know. *grins* I'm like smug because I keep seeing posts about the awful humidity. *pets them* Must be bad when you ain't used to it.

Date: 2006-08-01 05:13 pm (UTC)46F?!??? My brain can't caluclate that low in AUGUST. Good lord, there should be a BIT MORE moderation up there, Julia!
no subject
Date: 2006-08-01 05:24 pm (UTC)Not to mention how hard it is to get the household awake and working.
Julia, except for me, as there's a neighbor who puts their dog out at 7:30 and lets it bark until the threatening calls start coming in, or something.

Date: 2006-08-02 01:21 am (UTC)I miss the Pacific Northwest...
But, if I wait for a month & a half, I too will have 46F mornings. New mantra: seasons are good, seasons are good, just think how much you'll appreciate fall when it arrives, seasons are good...

Date: 2006-08-01 05:09 pm (UTC)My personal fave is "The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf of Bread" by Hans Christian Anderson. When I was a kid we owned an edition that had an illustration of that story as the frontspiece complete with worms coming out of her eyes.

Date: 2006-08-01 05:22 pm (UTC)...no, that is just GREAT. Also I like Belle a lot because she likes books. Yes.
Oh, this is hilarious: That hugeass fic I wrote? NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT. I want to shout and shout and SHOUT at HP fen for being here for the free porn oneshots and the fandom_wank. I am going to go write me some damn Sparrington UST, is what I am going to do.
Yesterday I had to drive around in my unairconditioned car. I'm making up for it today by not MOVING from the futon underneath the A/C.
Now, whenever I see a reference to the Grimm fairy tales, I automatically think "MATT DAMON." Because...movie.
SO HOW'RE YOU?
no subject
Date: 2006-08-01 05:25 pm (UTC)Oooh, if you will link up the chapters at the end of each section, I will pimp the HELL Out of your fic, yes ma'am! (I have picky folks on my flist - plus, it makes it easier for folks to follow along.)
I fully support your resting today. To the point of writing you a note, should you require one. I got sad today missing our old Ben Affleck and our comm. Are we just done there? Or waiting for summer to be over? Hmmm.
I am GOOD! Off to sign up Em for kindgergarten and meet her teacher in an hour, OMG. (Are you coming to see me in Sept? Because that would be friggin' AWESOME.)
no subject
Date: 2006-08-01 05:40 pm (UTC)Ooh, will do. Have to wait til they post the fic masterlist, since it's ostensibly Top Secret til then. Except for how they left my username on my fic for a good 20 minutes last night when they posted it. >_O
Hee, notes. Haven't had to forge one of those in ages! I'unno, man. Like I can do all right with Johnny posting his little guerrilla comments on people's real LJs for laughs, but when it comes to me trying to write an Actual Post for him? I'm all ...derp. (I think I got that word from you; did I get that word from you?) I don't want to be done :(
YAY kindergarten! Yay TEACHER! I hope is a good teacher. (And YES omg I need to respond to a couple of emails, things are settled now, PRAISE JAYSUS, and we will swarm your house like locusts. Well, a pair of locusts. ...so, not much of a swarm.)
no subject
Date: 2006-08-01 05:53 pm (UTC)I don't want to be done, either. I need to arrange a time when we can all meet up in the tree fort and brainstorm. Also, Beth (sis) had a great idea for a NEW comm, should we all want to stretch our wings. But yeah, I wanna play again.
(Hee! Derp - that is a routine word in my vernacular, so maybe?) I hope she gets a good teacher, TOO, and I'm all for a swarm of two! I will feed and entertain you (and even give you free time alone, which I know you'll want!)

Date: 2006-08-01 06:07 pm (UTC)& as someone who giggles at the Cotton BALLS package, I can relate.
Why do they make the BALLS part so much bigger than the Cotton part? This cannot be a coincidence.

What a great present for Emily!

And we're hitting the pool today. Best way to cool off...
