(no subject)

Bleah. I took the day off from work to sulk, and I am SO not motivated. For anything. Good thing I'm GM'ing Sunday instead of tomorrow. Also good that I have the next few games sketched out already.

But right now? Hermithermithermit. Figure out which classes I can take as a non-matriculating student (ick. paperwork.) to up my GPA, plan for the GRE, and consider asking my boss for a current recommendation. Play some computer games and read fanfic. Eat comfort food. Glare Colorado-wards and make my parents call me back.

Cool links for the day I spent entirely non-productively:

Wil Wheaton mentioned a cool program called Books for Soldiers. While I hold the opinion that Bush's IQ is probably the same as his shoe size and this war is quite simply the worst thing he could do to better the situation in Iraq (and for that matter, the public opinion the world holds for us,) the lesson we learned from the Vietnam War should not be lost: our soldiers are not responsible for war. That Idiot Bush is. Anyway, this sounds like something right up my alley - sending books overseas to hopelessly bored Americans.

Lori started a story-finding list for Harry Potter fiction. And when I remember to, I'll write up something for the lists I'm actually on.

AJ Hall has written the penultimate Draco/Neville story, and I finally found her top-level homepage (and will, of course, be bookmarking it post-haste).

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?

My great-granddaughter.

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?

The past? And give up toilet paper and tampons? You're shitting me.
Well, let's kick it entirely forward: the second century of the reign of Leto II. Just for kicks, you understand.

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?

I'd flip a coin between San Diego and Ireland.

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?

Been pondering the Dune characters lately, but given a wider range, I'll skip them. I think the majority of fictional characters I'd pass on, keeping in mind the curse: 'May you live in Interesting Times.' Nope, likely I'd go for either Nanny Ogg or the Librarian.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?

Face only? Hee - I'm gonna cheat: Mom's. We're almost exactly alike, save for the age difference.

LJ meme

Person that introduced you to LJ?

devon, I think. silenceleigh introduced me to online journalling, but I got on LJ the month after Connections, so I'm pretty sure it was devon who got me on LJ.

Still friends with this person?

Still friendly mutual acquaintances who occasionally share hotel rooms.

Who have you introduced to Live Journal?

You know, I'm not really sure. The entirety of Rhi's list, I think,

Anyone on LJ you can't stand?

Oh, probably, but I haven't run across them yet.

Name one person on your friends list you would most like to meet:

viggorlijah. She's cool. Plus, I'd probably get a visit to Singapore out of it.

Last person you added?

*blink* *peers at widget list* You know, I haven't the faintest.

Ever banned someone from commenting in your journal?

Nope.

Biggest pet peeve about LJ?

Um. Pathetically minor, but friends-lists are such a misnomer. I wish I could rename mine to widgets.
