Stuff, things

Tomorrow is a Family Day. Movies are on the agenda.

P'raps I'll be able to give plasma in addition to the family happiness.

I need to do laundry.

Cleaned out the catbox tonight. That will be a happy little cat-fayoumis.

Got myself some old/new icons. One of them is a classic. The other one is a family classic, but never-before seen here, except by swallowtayle, who was there for the photo shoot (standing by with the water).

I really need to crop/shrink one of the photos of Marah or me with eris_raven and have that; eris_raven also needs some icons of her own.

Feet are still not happy.

Dawn is sick. :(

My headline reader has been banned. I may only load headlines every 30 minutes. In 72 hours, my ban will be lifted. I need not bother contacting them for 72 hours. Thus saith slashdot, and I believe. Our reader is slashdotting them, evidently. How apropos. Or not.

My cat is furry. I am freshly showered and thus slightly damp. My left ankle is t3h hurt. I have either a nasty pimple, a toxic insect bite, or a cat-claw stab on the back of my left shoulder. I'm betting on cat-stab.

Oh, and I woke up this morning after dreaming about scorpions in my bed. Niiiice. I do believe that it was the universe with the poly-camp by the lake that was in the leachfield back home. Camp wasn't there, but same universe. The scorpions in the bed wasn't the point of the dream, it was just the point at which I woke up. I was talking to someone who was either hlynna, Aunt-Fayoumis, Guide Dog Aunt, all of the above at once or some combination, or not.

pyrogenic is the person on LJ I've known second-longest. swallowtayle since 1982, of course, but I've known pyrogenic since 1995, and he was one of the first to read rosalynde/ectogenesis, though it was teenager-writing and under a different title. And then he introduced me to boojum, and around the time I was really starting to get to know her, I got on the List [lmbujold], where I met ataniell93, though she and I did not start out knowing each other particularly well. (Actually, I'm not sure when we first met ... but it was sometime.) And norabombay and sraun and tygerr were there too. iroshi was there, but we didn't get to know each other then. I was shy and didn't really make any friendships, just hung out. I ran into aratina at college in 1998, and more likely than not saw ralmathon in passing in early 1999, though we were strangers to each other until meeting again at phx_devry. And there was always lillkittylost around; I saw a lot of him when hanging with good ol' Fuzzy Modem. Someone on the List gave me a pointer to the Academy. chlaal, drglam, othercat, lasayla, ldymusyc and the gang were all at the Academy, though now we all just hang at the bar for the booze-ups. The Academy gave me moral support while moving to Phoenix. votania I met at phx_devry, and she introduced me to Darkside, who introduced me to a webcomic, where I met godai who brought me to LJ along with Dennis K. And that's how I got on LJ.
