liptonrm_backupMy 'Edmund and the White Witch' icon sure is getting a lot of play this winter. That's probably because the weather this winter has been so gorram awful. We're currently freezing our pattoties off out here in the Midwest, it's awesome.
On the plus side my class yesterday was cancelled but on the minus side I didn't find out about the cancellation until I'd already driven downtown and read the note on the classroom door. You win some, you lose some, I suppose.
Another minus side of winter is that I can't seem to stop eating carbs. My loose pants are becoming my tight pants and let's not even talk about what's happening with my tight pants. *grumbles* That's it, no more treat runs to the store for me. I'm shutting the carb train down.
And to continue the downer-ation of this post, I just got back from the rental office where I had to pay nearly $300 dollars in late fees that I never knew about. This is why you get everything in writing, especially the size of re-signing bonuses because I thought it was one amount and the office guy thought it was another amount and then he was replaced last fall and now there's some poor woman who has to try to clean up all of his messes. I would've been a bitch about the whole thing but she wasn't the person at fault and I'm the idiot law student who didn't get it in writing so there you go. bleh.
Now cue me freaking out over money. 2009's already an expensive year, and it's only been in existence for two-and-a-half weeks.
Gah, enough of that, it's all over and done. *waves hand erasing past* Let's do a meme gacked from the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
buffyaddict13 and hiyacynth:
Ask me a question about each of the following:
1. Friends
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Drugs
5. Love

No matter how rude, personal, or confidential.
OMG NEW SHOW TONIGHT!!!!!!! *bounces in joy*

Date: 2009-01-15 07:17 pm (UTC)Sorry about the rent/money woes!
Okay. It's a bit tacky, but I've adapted the group of questions I put together for my first reaction to this meme, and will be using these forehence (totally a word).
1. Friends: Which Friend's eyes do you secretly (or not) want to pluck out and squish beneath your heel?
2. Sex: Sex in the City: How much do you love or hate it? Explain your answer.
3. Music: What's playing in your personal Elevator to Hell?
4. Drugs: For the illegal kind, what or who was the main influence in your choice to either use them or not use them? For the legal kind, how do you feel about taking someone else's prescriptions and/or sharing your own with others?
5. Love: A wise man once said "Love is like a roll of cello tape. It's real good for making two things one. But just like that roll of cello tape, love sometimes breaks off before you're done. Another way that love is similar to cello tape that I've noticed is sometimes it's hard to see the end." Please name a fourth way in which love is like a roll of cello tape (Scotch tape for Americans) and list three ways the cello tape of love has changed your life for better or worse.
6. LiveJournal: How did you discover it, what made you take the step to creating your own, and who was the first person to comment on a post of yours?

Date: 2009-01-16 04:16 am (UTC)1. I've never watched enough Friends to hate any of them really a lot. And none of them make me want to nuke anything, like the people on Gilmore Girls but I've always found Ross really annoying, like irredeemably so. He's supposed to be a "nice guy" but he's the most self-centered guy on the whole damn show. And that finale, when he's not able to get off his ass and fly to Paris, he has to make Rachel choose between him or her dream, that's just tacky. He's a dick.
2. Like Friends, I don't really love or hate Sex in the City. I think those women are tremendously self-absorbed and they're certainly not an example or archetype for the friendships I've ever had with other women but the whole thing is generally inane.
Hey, I could never full on hate a show that made me fall off my couch via Ron Livingston. They kind of get a pass for that.
3. Um, I don't know? Man, this makes it sound like I don't hate anything and you well know that there are many things that I irrationally hate. I, just, don't think a lot about evil music. There was this Swedish group that my old roommate used to listen to all the time, the one that did dance music, or something. They had a song about the sun? Yeah, I got really sick of them. And Celine Dion is really evil, I've never been able to forgive her for that Titanic song and the way it always got stuck in my head. Stupid song.
4. My main influence in my choice to not use illegal drugs is a tie between parents and religion. And that's a whole discussion of its own. And I have very few qualms about either taking someone else's prescriptions or sharing my own with others. My biggest qualm is that I don't want to do either if there isn't a real need. And I won't share antibiotics or take them from someone else because the fewer strains of super-bacteria in the world the better.
5. hmmm ... Love is like a roll of cello tape because if you're not careful you can lose the end and it takes quite a bit of work to find it again.
And I'll have to get back to you on the three ways it's changed my life. I have a feeling that's a loaded subject and my psyche's just not up for it at the moment.
6. I discovered LJ because I was reading one of

3. Ultimately, would you prefer a legendary band in a large stadium and tons of fans, or a really good but unknown performer in a small club with no one particularly listening except you? Is that a leading question?
4. Are you on any medications with particularly tongue-twisting generic or chemical names that you could share? The names, not the drugs.
5. Who would you marry: Dean, Sam, John, or Castiel?
6. Has a fandom ever annoyed you to the breaking point? Tell all!

Date: 2009-01-16 04:36 am (UTC)2. HA! Trust you to remember that promise. ;-) OK, well, I did know an elder who broke his companions back because they were wrestling in their apartment. And there was the companionship who had been together for so long that they could've been considered common law married.
Mostly it was guys doing guy things, you know? Stupid competitions and jumping on each other in 'manly' ways. And elders hug a lot. Like, a lot. It's as if they're compensating for something.
Wow, I haven't thought about those guys in a long time. Huh.
3. That's a tough one. It really depends on how I'm feeling. There's nothing like the energy that comes from a crowd in a huge stadium watching something they love but there's also something to love about a smaller, more select venue and performer. But there are times when I can't deal with big crowds, no matter how much I love the group or team.
So there's a good, namby pamby lawyer answer for you. Yes and no.
4. My medication with the most complex generic name is cyclobenzaprine. It's a muscle relaxant.
5. I would marry Dean. My feelings for Sam are very sisterly, I think John is a son of a bitch, and Castiel is an angel and I have a hard time perving on angels. But I would totally marry Dean.
6. That gets another HA! Wen hasn't fandom annoyed me to the breaking point? I've occasionally had to take breathers when the fur is flying too fast and I can't handle the stress anymore, but I don't think I've ever really come to a breaking point. It helps that I'm not afraid to bitch about things, privately. And when I say bitch, I mean the kind of cattiness that would start wanks all by itself. But I understnad fandom, I know all of the stupid cycles and the way that fans overanalyze and overtalk things to death so I can just ignore a lot of stuff. They can do what they want to do and I'll still be over here playing with my own toys.
It helps that I've never been personally attacked. I've never had some mass of people suddenly descend on me and tell me I'm an awful person. If that ever happened it would definitely qualify as a breaking point.
