prison for jerks

from Overheard in NYC:

Disgruntled woman: You know, you could take someone's eye out if you're not careful with that umbrella.
Umbrella-wielding man, cheerily: That is perfectly okay!


...lol.

I have work in a couple of hours! Dum de dum. Who wants to talk about HIMYM? The last episode made me flail all over the place and say "MY SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW" a whole lot. And like objectively I'm not even sure it was a good episode, but it doesn't matter! ( spoilers )

PS I finally watched the youtube clip of Ryan and Brendon doing their mtv playlist and jesus christ. RYAN ROSS HOW ARE YOU SUCH A FREAK? AND WHY IS IT ENDEARING?

HIMYM IS MY FAVORITE FAVORITE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVORITE OMG.

SLAPSGIVING: TRULY THE GREATEST OF ALL POSSIBLE HOLIDAYS.

I just changed my profile for the first time in a long while. I have interests now and everything, you guys!

Sadly, all of the following ones are ( unshared )

( Some other interest statistics! )

Anyway, that just entertained me for a good amount of time, but ... man, have you all started your weekends early or something? Why so boring? I just ... shouldn't somebody be talking about dirty porn/stupid little faces/something else to amuse me? I don't get it.

I haven't been really posting at all this week, I realize, but it's not because I'm off having horrible things happening to me and making people worry. I've been home since Sunday, and I think I was totally right about getting out of Eugene being the best thing I could do at this point.

I'm being weirdly not very fannish at the moment, though I don't know why. The most obvious evidence of this is that when the "tell me what you want me to write!" meme was going around, I didn't comment to ANYBODY's. You guys, usually I spend half my day telling people what to write for me, you know?

I'm doing a lot of reading, which is awesome. BOOKS! LIBRARY! YAY! Lots of YA fantasy for me.

Question: if a girl wanted to do research on werewolves, potentially for writing later on, what sources do you find useful?

Monday night TV is amazingly awesome. Heroes! How I Met Your Mother! Both of them equal as much love and devotion as you can imagine from me. Tomorrow: GREY'S OMG. TV, you are great sometimes.

YOU GUYS I AM AT CHEZ RENARD! (translation: I am at Fox's apartment yaaaaaays!)

Fox picked me up at the airport an hour and a half ago or so and we are sitting at her apartment watching HIMYM dvd commentaries, which are hilarious. Soon we will go to sleep! And then we will wake up early and trek off to Muskrat Jamboree! And it will be hours and hours of awesome!

I feel as if the awesomeness has not fully soaked in yet. Maybe it won't until I leave on Monday!

Here is a poll on How I Met Your Mother, because I have a THEORY.

[Poll #956815]

Since Friday afternoon, I have consumed the first 20 episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Result: I'm sort of love it, you guys. This is the first show I have ever seen where the characters make just as liberal a use of the word AWESOME as me and the people I know! That alone is worth many many many points. Plus, Willow and Nick Andopolis (aka that redheaded girl and the tall guy) keep making out adorably.

Notable guest stars so far include Neil and Bill from F+G (Freaks and Geek mafia, woo!), Mr. Aly Hannigan (Alexis Denisof), and the chick who played Charlie on Ugly Betty and Heroes, who looked really cute.

speshope drove me around Springfield and Eugene today so I could pick up my sociolinguistics final and some juice with insane amounts of vitamin C. Spes is awesome. And then we went to her house and watched a movie while I poked at her cat.

Next up in my exciting day: 45 minutes of YARDWORK with MY ROOMMATES! You guys, it was like a party. A really dirty party held outdoors that required a great deal of weeding and dirt and sweat and squatting.

Studying for my 8 am Monday phonetics exam! Possibly watching more of How I Met Your Mother. And ... maybe another shower, because see above re: sweat and dirt.

I got this new icon from poisoninjest. Cadbury Creme Eggs are my favorite seasonal treat! And as I commented to her, I think this icon has serious layers -- one tiny little square of candy and it somehow manages to be delicious, a little disgusting, and vaguely unsettling! Hard-working, man.
