OMG GETTING A DOG GETTING A DOG OMG OMG.
That is pretty much my thought process right now, alternating with OMG GOTTA CLEAN THE APARTMENT.
We are going to go pick up MacGuffin this weekend. Tonight we went to PetSmart with Scott to get a crate and toys and stuff for him. The cashier asked us if we were getting a new puppy and it turned into a whole conversation with the other people in line and because I am a huge nerd I ended up explaining to everyone what "MacGuffin" is a reference to and it was pretty exciting. OMG. DOG.
I feel like there might be something else to say, but PUPPY!
oh yeah. I wore the dress to the wedding and it was fine. Thanks for the advice! |

| May 18th -- FOC_U day of posting support |

FOC United banner created by lj user benaaronovitch.
So. I'm posting in support of Fen Of Color United today, in the role of a white fan who seriously wants to see more respect for people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds in the geeky and genre media that I know and, mostly, love. It's not about political correctness and silencing free speech, it's about welcoming more voices and listening to more points of view. That's not stifling, it's, I don't know, blossoming.
I wanted to keep this short in the service of it Not Being About Me. But if anybody wants to see me ranting and raving about this sort of thing, check out the massive flamewar I started on RPGnet! I swear I was not trolling on purpose, I was just kind of "wtf!" and wanted to share. |

We are running out of time and still need a lot of help moving furniture out of our apartment. If anyone can come over in the next two hours to help, we will pay you and give you hugs and be grateful pretty much forever. We're in Silver Spring, MD, and you can call and get the address and directions.
Thank you so much! |

In the middle of a recurring dream, exclaiming "I can't believe it, this is exactly what I've always had those recurring dreams about."
Stupid, stupid subconscious. |

OH HAI.
I am not so great at making banners, but since I recently mentioned the existence of this journal on other parts of the Interbahn, I notice that people are adding me and I'm not totally sure who they are. So, um, just imagine that there's a banner. It would probably have Michael C. Hall on it. And it would say
This journal is friends-only!
Please comment if you want to be added and give me some idea of how I know you. If you are from any of the forums or blogs I post on, I will probably not need a huge amount of memory-jogging, but I just want to be sure. If you want to be in filter groups (for discussion of personal and possibly TMI stuff) that is also negotiable. Most of my posts are filtered to one degree or another.
I'm looking forward to being lj friends with you! |

Holy Shit.
I just found out that someone I knew in college died this week.
His name was Phil. He was a really nice guy and one of the most devoted Christians I've ever met. He lived across the hall from me freshman year, and even though we didn't have a lot in common he was friendly to me every time I saw him, right up to graduation.
I remember that he always wore the fedora that his mom gave to him as a high school graduation present, that he loved listening to movie soundtracks, and that the weekend his girlfriend broke up with him he wouldn't talk to anybody. He clearly felt a lot of love. He had friends of all different social, ethnic, and cultural groups, and every time I saw him he was with a friend, talking and smiling together, clearly listening intently to what they had to say.
He is also the second person I knew to die in a motorcycle accident (the first was someone from online). I guess that's just a random morbid fact, plus a hobby that I'm increasingly unlikely to ever take up.
Rest in peace, Phil. I can only imagine how many people are praying for you and your family. You always left me feeling more hope than I had before, and I hope that I will always remember that gift, as fleeting as it turned out to be. |

Woohoo, my performance last night actually went well for a change!
I danced to "Frosti" by Bjork, "Mon Amie La Rose" by Natacha Atlas, and "The Lovecats" by the Cure, which was a cane dance. For the last one I decided to come down off the stage and flirt with the audience, by which I mostly mean trying to hook Scott from Midnight with my cane. Afterwards a guy I used to know in college, who was impressively drunk, told me "aw, you're getting married? That's too bad." :D
Apparently while I was getting ready, Daniel and Lishan went upstairs to the more-populated part of the club and told everyone "hey, there's a bellydancer coming on downstairs!", which resulted in me getting much more of a crowd than the bands that had performed before me. |
