brenna: The face of a mysterious pretty lady, in brass (Default)
The last two posts in a row I was GOING to make would have been semi-epic minicomics so obviously I never finished them because I also couldn't bring myself to do them as text instead.

As to the last one, at least, LOOK EVERYBODY I'M ON THE INTERNETS

LOOK LOOK I'm the one on the right, because I was at this party and it was greeeeeeeat. :D Amazingly, for the first time ever, I MADE FRIENDS AND HAD FUN at an event that was mostly about free drinks and where I knew no one! Gooooooo me

TODAY, I cleaned up the apartment finally, and when I went outside to throw out the trash I found a I had a doormat! It was not there when I went to bed last night. In fact, I have never seen it anywhere before. So I guess someone was getting rid of theirs in a non-wasteful way, or someone sneaky thought I looked like I could use one, or something. I don't know.

Also, today I might get my very first cat! Maybe! I know they're supposed to be independent, but are they "amuse themselves indoors while I work full time" independent? WE SHALL MAY SEE.

I wish I could convince my apartment people to just give me a new door. This morning the locks were so stuck that if I hadn't had a useless mini side-patio to escape through I would honestly have been trapped indoors. Really glad no one saw me hopping my own fence on my way to and from work today.

Lately whenever I feel like I need some cheering up, I watch this video and imagine the lady is talking to me instead. Adorable and unambiguously affirming voice! Just because! It gives me a happiness and emotional safety boost, and I thought I would share.

Does anyone know why, 10 months into The Greate Dreamwidth Projecte,* the tags for major things like cuts and username-links still have "lj" in them? Is that not going away anytime soon? Is there an alternate way I'm supposed to be doing these? Did I miss a memo?

...Oh! I went to Taco Cabana the other day (for the first time!), and as I was sitting there I noticed that on top of the music they had playing, there was a man's voice just... talking (pretty quietly, so it took me a while to notice it). The two didn't seem to go together musically, but I assumed it must be there to add texture or something-- but then it just kept going. In the breaks between songs I could could tell he was speaking English, and at one point I was able to make out an explanation of the principles of Buddhism. I was going to ask the nice chatty register lady about it when I left, but she was gone by then.

* Has it really been almost a year? WAAAGH

Too bad it's not Monday, because this afternoon I totally beat up my insurance company until they gave me money.

Another thing: I came home to find a few ants* in my shower, wandering around since the walls were too slippery to climb, and then I looked closer... and saw a single small, neat pile of little ant wings over on one end. Wikipedia tells me that ants drop their wings after mating, but the collection of them is still weird to me. The spiders I'm allowing to live are falling down on the job around here.

*Okay, when I googled 'winged ants' to make sure that's actually what they were, I ended up on a pest control site and I saw on their sidebar that they had an entry for ladybugs! And I thought that was cool of them to list ladybugs, since they're natural predators of garden-y bugs and harmless to everything else, and not focus exclusively on chemical insecticides.

BUT WHEN I CLICKED ON IT, THERE BEFORE ME WERE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LADYBUG ELIMINATION. WAAH.
