Letting you know I'm alive

coffeesnob318Well, I am. This week has been (and continues to be) crazy. Last weekend was fun, though. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravenluvslex came to visit, Adrin moved in, and merriment abounded. More on that later, perhaps.
The other reason I haven't been posting is because I lead a boring life. The most exciting thing that's happened to me in the last few days is TV.
Luke and Lorelei dating is not as weird to me as I thought it would be. Very few shows pull off the introduction of a relationship that everyone wanted without it being "eh." I lost interest in Frasier when Niles and Daphne started dating. I'm losing interest in Everwood now that Amy and Ephram are dating (I forgot to tape it this week...didn't even occur to me that I'd missed it until yesterday). But the Gilmore Girls still have my love, despite my skepticism. I love that there was a town meeting to discuss whether they should be allowed to date. Hee hee.
I have a newfound delight in Luke-isms. I've decided to collect them. My favorite three from last night were:
1. Tonight, I will give you my extremely positive views on other aspects of your being.
2. I've filled my whacking quota for the week.
3. I draw the line at pirates.
What can I say? I'm easily amused.
The acting on One Tree Hill seemed forced and rushed last night. Maybe it was just because I'm feeling forced and rushed and I was projecting, but that was my impression. I wasn't impressed with that episode. And touchy feely Dan creeps me out big time. I never would have imagined that I would prefer the asshat, but I do.
And, finally, 1. What facial feature do you find the most attractive on others?
Nice lips
2. Would you vote for a woman candidate for president?
Definitely, if she believed in things I believe in. (yes, what g said)
3. Would you marry for money?
Not if I didn't love him.
4. Have you had braces?
No.
5. Do you pluck your eyebrows?
Not since I was 12, and even then under extreme duress.
6. Do you ever cut or hurt yourself?
On purpose? No. But it's inevitable, really. I'm fairly clumsy.
7. When was the last time you had a hickey?
Probably six years ago
9. Do you use ICQ, AOL Buddy list etc..?

15. Do you eat wheat bread or white?

16. What is your favorite place to visit?

As long as I'm actually living, yes. I don't want to be just sitting around, sick, waiting to die.

Expected by others? No. Unless they're intimate with her, why do they care? But I prefer to be clean shaven myself.

Messy. When it's clean, though, it's actually quite nice. The head of my bed (watch out - poet at work) is under a large window, so the view outside is my headboard. I think that's my favorite thing about it. The color scheme is going to be light blue and chocolate brown, but it's still in the planning phase until there's extra funding.
