The new Sonata album looks AMAZING! I'm just dying to hear the songs.
*minor brain asplosion due to awesomeness*

A friend of mine posted this article by Mark Morford just recently, and I thought a few of you on my list might find it interesting as well. So here you go. Yes, it's opinionated. So am I. I think I would get along quite well with this man. 

( To the article )


(I had a lesbian guinea pig for YEARS. We were so sure she was a boy, considering the way she went after our other, definitely female, guinea pig... until she got sick and was taken to the vet, and the vet gave us that little surprise.)

In about 7 hours, I get to have my wisdom teeth dug out of my jawbone. Yay.

I'm scared as fuck.

I've never had surgery of any sort before, and never taken any painkiller stronger than the over-the-counter stuff. Aleve makes me high. Tylenol makes me stoned. Excedrin and Ibuprofen don't cause me problems, as long as I only take one pill. Two of either and I start getting loopy.
When I broke my arm at 4 years old, I got kiddie Tylenol. When I ran headfirst into a brick wall a year or two later (true story...) and had to get stitches, I had a concussion and was in shock and couldn't feel a thing anyway. When I recovered enough to be coherent and started hurting, my parents gave me kiddie Tylenol again.
And now, I shall be on narcotics of some sort.
Yay drugs.
Everyone might want to avoid me for a few days, I have no idea how this shit's gonna affect me.

 Finally got myself a computer and got it running. So I has internets again! 
Anything anyone is wanting me to know, they should leave a comment and tell me. Because there's no way in hell I'm gonna be able to read god knows how many pages of updates from all of you. I'll try to catch up a bit, but I make no guarantees. So don't feel ignored if I don't comment on something. 

In other news, I am now a HARDCORE bike commuter. LOL. 9 miles each way, uphill both ways (or halfway uphill each way anyway). But so worth it to be out of mom's house. She was driving me absolutely insane. And I'm now looking for jobs closer to me, not gonna quit the job I've got til I have something lined up though. Oh, and there's a bus I can take to work most days. It just doesn't run late enough to get me back home, and doesn't run at all on sundays. 

Still living in a bit of an unpacking mess, but it's getting better. One of these days I will have no mess, and that will be WEIRD. I've never been all that tidy, but my bedroom is now too small to let it get cluttery. My furniture barely all fits, let alone the kind of mess I used to have. So I'm gonna have to learn to be a lot more organized. *sigh*

Now I've gotta get typing... I have half a novel in a notebook that has to get on the computer, preferably by the end of the month so I can finish writing it for JulNoWriMo (yes, I'm insane). I'll have plenty of time for that after Friday at least, getting my wisdom teeth out and I've got a week off work to recover. All four of them, all impacted. The good news is they're knocking me out all the way. Local anesthetic like most people get for wisdom teeth just wouldn't cut it, it's not just a matter of yanking them out. They actually have to operate and dig them out of my jawbone. FUN. 

Three, so far. Only one that I remember (family moved twice before I was two, and we've been in the same house since).

Moving out in the next few weeks though. Yes, I'm scared. First move in 18 years, aside from switching bedrooms. Don't think that really counts. And first time on my own.

More than I can count. I have what my friend calls an audiographic memory (like photographic but for sound instead of sight), so I can't really help memorizing songs. Works for quoting movies as well. Unfortunately, this does not protect me from mishearings.

Out of respect for friends who are unable to go to the show they were planning on due to illness, my concert report will be indefinitely delayed. That is all. :(

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."

Go for it, peeps.

Yes, that concert report is being procrastinated. But I needs me some sleep.

Can't remember which of my wonderful new friends I stole this from anymore. Just read through three pages of recent posts. This is what happens when I'm away for a few days.

Nightwish was AMAZING though. I'll give a full report when I have more time. For now, I'll just say:
JOHN TWO-HAWKS. SIGNED MY CD.
And the bass tech is pretty, and has gravity-defying pants.
And I was mistaken for Ewo's girlfriend. LOL.

In other news, my brain is currently dead, due to a domino-effect. Yay.
