One of my guildies shared this one on our guild board. If you have a cat (or probably any kind of pet for that matter) you know this one FAR too well. XD

I’ve been spending a lot of time trolling LiveJournals icon and graphics journals and I’ve come up with a new pet peeve: People keep posting icons to a public journal, but making the actual post friends-only.

My response? …eh, why? You gotta have some really good icons for me to waste my time friending a journal I might not come back to.

It’s not like it actually stops anyone from stealing the icons. I frequently steal icons from other people’s profiles, especially if they have credit to the original artist up. (That’s where and how I got the Hello Kitty icon on the LiveJournal version of this post.)

I know Jass has said that before, but I guess I’m saying it again.

Ah, whatever.

Anyway, got my profile looking spiffy, now I get to read through a bunch of resource journals to figure out how to make my layout a reality.

Ook tagged me for this one. ^^; “Rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs.”

1. Getting a postcard from Ookami. (Squee! I luff postcards!)
2. Coming up with a layout for my LJ and having it work for once.
3. Finding Pocky at the local supermarket! (Squee²!!)
4. Finding my favorite Jpop artists on (USA) iTunes.
5. Finally becoming eligible for health insurance.
6. Receiving a phonecall regarding my portfolio.
7. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata finally showing up in Naruto Shippuden anime/manga.
8. Sai and Yamato making their appearances in Naruto Shippuden.
9. Talking about current video games with Jorge at work.
10. Finding a few fun, quirky gifts for Christmas.

I have no idea who to tag for this one, since I have most of the same friends as ook. ^^;

Oh yes, I am interrupting my vanishing act to announce I burnt a portion of my paycheck on iTunes. After all this time, they finally have Gackt on iTunes. *grooves*

Too bad I want to order some more… necessary… things before I go to work tonight, like clothes. ^^;;

I bought Lust for Blood, Mizerable, Redemption, Longing, Returner, and Vanilla. I made myself stop there, since I already bought a bunch a ton of other songs Friday.

Someday, I shall have to work a weekend so my coworkers can find out just how eclectic my playlist really is. Muahaha! XD

Hey, guys? Remember this? Muahaha!

Wow, its’ been a while since I last blogged. I’m/we’re doing fine. Not sure if I’m ever going to get used to working nights, though. But having extra money is very nice. I’ve bought more clothes in the past few months than I have in years.

The car decided to start having troubles last week, so that ate an amount of our savings.

Anyway, I have housework I need to get on and then I need to sleep so I can work tonight.

Much love. ♥

Holy crap — it’s been warm here in Michigan. I’ve been wearing shorts for the past few days. Right now it’s 70° F / 21° C outside and even warmer inside.

Normally, we don’t get this weather until maybe May or June, so this has been nice. It’s been a couple days since the furnace has run and we’ve been able to get some Spring Cleaning done. (You have no idea how badly the house stinks until you get some fresh air in!)

I’m trying to get back in the habit of blogging. I may not able able to get on IM very often anymore, but at least I can blog.

Back when the domain was down, I joined the Official Naruto Thread on Gaia Online. Now I’m officially addicted. Not the best situation when you have finals due and are known for procrastination. Now I really don’t want to get back to work.
