Here is a hodgepodge entry.

[schmerica]

+ tom kha gai, the food of the gods
+ Ray Kowalski
+ only two months left until graduation!
+ my comfy comfy bed
+ the story etben and I started plotting out on Friday
+ visiting roz_mcclure next week
+ the cuteness of David Tennant as the Doctor. (With his little glasses, and his sneakers, and awwww.)
+ fox1013 and hobbledehoy. Just in general.

I had more things I meant to put in that list, but I've forgotten what they were.

I find myself in one of those moods where I want to change everything and trim and clean and neaten it. Last night I got the urge to get rid of all my icons. I figure this is one of the things that is probably a passing urge I should not submit to, but if I keep feeling this way long enough, I might give in and see if I can trim down to just 20 or so that I really want to keep to express myself.

If I still feel edgy like this after that, maybe I'll erase all my lj interests and start from scratch.

I have noticed an annoying trend to my dreams lately. They seem to be all set-up, and never get to the good part! I have dreams about finally getting to a break, and having lots of vacation of excitements, except I only get the planning and annoying details and awful travel soul-killing bits, and wake up before the fun part. Or I dream about all the awkward stupid bits of dating and association with boys, without ever getting to the smooching. Not on, dreamscape. Not on at all.

I keep listening to the same eight Mountain Goats songs on repeat over and over and over and over. I need mooooooooooore. Help me, people! Help!

Elizabeth Taylor is bored of your shenanigans.

I like you too! and also our story. and also also emo boys, whether they are kissing or cuddling or just being ridiculously cute together.

Things I do not like: the rest of the universe, my brain.

*curls up in a little ball in your comfy comfy bed*

DAVID TENNANT. *anxiously awaits my latest download*

also: we talked about how cute you were this weekend. and how much nancy and I appreciate your bitchiness. ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

HEART.

*beams at you* I have watched a lot of doctor who since I got home from Boston, tracey! I am almost done with 2x8 right now. It's all mayatawi's fault.

I kind of really want an icon of this:



But I am not clever enough to figure out the right caption to make it awesome.

TRACEY I MISS YOU *AND* NANCY. THIS IS MY SAD FACE.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, Erica, that is totally the most awesome picture ever. We will have to convene and discuss how you are finding the second season.

[holyschist.livejournal.com]

tom kha gai, the food of the gods

Mmmmm, seriously! I should make some soon.

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

heeeeeeeeeeee. omg. You NEED a clever person to make that an icon for you. *nods firmly* I love how EASY you are, pearl. YAYS for Doctor Who!

and we miss you TOO, pearl! SO MUCH.

(omg, I JUST NOW realized that your subject line is not, in fact, "Here is a hedgehog entry." I was confused, b/c a) I was WONDERING where the hedgehogs were, and b) curious as to how you had overcome your hedgehog fear!)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Look, it's not FEAR exactly! It's just ... worried discomfort. I save my FEAR for the real enemies.

(Which is to say: squirrels. Oh, god, Tracey, promise me you'll never have a Squirrel Jamboree? A Beaver Jamboree would be okay, I guess, except our heads would explode from too many dirty jokes at once. Nutria Jamboree?)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I have not tried making it at home yet! I am not sure whether to be more worried that I will be unable to reproduce the taste or that if I do, I will never want to cook anything else.

[holyschist.livejournal.com]

Hee! Can't help with the second, but I think it's one of the easier Thai dishes to get "right" (by which I mean "tasting like your favorite restaurant makes it").

Plus I have yet to find a truly good Thai restaurant within 50 miles or so since Little Bangkok closed (and their tom kha gai wasn't that great). I have been forced to learn to cook things! And I still despair because even when they taste right, the texture is less-than-ideal. ONE DAY I WILL HAVE A RESTAURANT KITCHEN IN MY HOUSE, DAMN THE UTILITIES BILL!

/crazed

Um...yay, Thai food!

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

you want not-totally-risen cake? i can give you not-totally-risen cake!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You are so generous!

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

OMG, you too? I read it the same way! I was all, HEDGEHOGS! Where are they!?!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

This is a hedgehog free zone!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

HEE! OK, I will know next time!

*cries for the hedgehogs*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aww, I am sure the hedgehogs will be much happier away from me, anyway! They are very safe and happy over at Tracey's place.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Also, I was just looking up hedgehogs because I wasn't sure whether or not they were rodents? (Answer: they're not, but porcupines are.) And the first sentence my eyes landed on was this:

They give off a distinctive musky odor, produced by anal glands.

thanks...now you got me wanting to go change all my icons...*goes to change them*

Which Mountain Goats songs?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Mountain Goats songs in my iTunes:

"This Year"
"Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise"
"Love Love Love"
"Woke Up New"
"Going to Scotland"
"Dilaudid"
"Whole Wide World"
and, uh, the live cover of Ace of Base "The Sign"

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think your priorities are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
