Updates, memes and vets, ohmy!

tsukinofaeriiBuzzing by with a small (big) meme and a fly-by update, in order to avoid doing things I really should be doing. (Including pimping WinCon, writing, cleaning house again...) Zena had her vet visit. The lump on her haunch seems fine, but they found a stone! Either in her bladder or kidney or possibly rib cage, the doctor wasn't very clear. But regardless of where it is, I get to plop down a not-so-small fortune tomorrow to have it surgically removed. Joy of joys, right? I'm going to have them remove the growth on her butt while they've got her under. Will be reporting tomorrow.
In gaming, I am working on getting Souls of Thamasa in Final Fantasy XII. (shakes a fist) I'm so close to being done, I can taste it, but these Souls are not coming easily.
In writing, I'm (again) done with the rough for my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
au_bigbang. If anyone wants to beta, I will be tail-wagging and happy? Solid knowledge of 1610 would be nice. But the next project up for writes is comicsbigbang. I'm at 7k and... um. I may have lost the plot. Just a lot. (facepalm) It's Norman Osborn's fault, as most things are. We'll work on this.
Reading, I am catching up with comics and reading Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison. So far, so good, but my focus has been scattered. Mainlining is hard when every chapter is read with the nagging sensation that I should be writing instead.
Yesterday, I cleared out my closet and resolutely discarded all of the clothes I've been not wearing. I have space again! And really, I don't need to replace anything, since all the things that are gone technically weren't being used anyway. I also found things that I thought long gone, such as my other Captain America wristband! So that was shiny.
In work, I have none this week. It feels good.
1. What curse word do you use the most?
Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck fucking fuck. You would not know this from how I type. I am skilled at self-censoring.
2. Do you own an iPod?
Nothing with the prefix i- has ever touched my domain. Now, I do have an MP3 Player.
3. What person on your flist do you talk to the most?
IRL,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ds000, because she is family who lives nearby, and is therefore unavoidable. (She is also filtered out like whoa.) Otherwise, it's a tie between shinineko1 and moontear
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
7.30 AM, because I had a vet appointment to make this morning.
5. Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Nope.;;;; Contrary to what some people will no doubt guess, this is not related to the infamous Pudding Incident. I just gave away my first kiss very early, and now am not sure which person came first. Phillip? Timmy? Does the mailman count when you're only 6?
6. Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?
Driving to school with my mom, and then at school all day. Some of it spent yelling at people; I had an uncle who was in New York. (He was okay, no worries.)
7. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Take the picture. I hate how I look in photos.
8. What was the last movie you watched?
Alice In Wonderland, the 2010 version. (GO SEE IT.)
9. Do any of your friends have children?
Hm, nope.
10. Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Yes. :D Because I am.
11. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep?
No, I have a thing against all sorts of medication, and tend to avoid it if I can. (Never mind that I have no health care to speak of, so the necessary steps to get meds are generally impossible for me.)
12. What cd is currently in your cd player?
UM. (runs to dig CD player out of the closet) Credence Clearwater Revival: Chronical (20 Greatest Hits)... Um. Yeah.
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
Regular. (I know, I know. HEATHEN, FIEND, etc.)
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Not this week, because I'm on Spring Break. It's only a matter of time until I'm standing in line somewhere though. Strangers like telling me their secrets. IDEGI.
15. When was the last time you had Starbucks?
Two hours ago lol.
16. Can you whistle?
Yep. Now, can I carry a tune is a different matter.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Chest and shoulders. Yeah, I'm shallow.
18. What are you looking forward to?
Finishing both my bangs so I can move on with my writing.
19. Did you watch cartoons as a child?
Yep yep.
20. Do you own any band t-shirts?
One. An AC/DC shirt, won at the WinCon raffle.
21. What will you be doing in one hour?
Either playing Final Fantasy XII (so close to complete. SO. CLOSE.) or writing my comics big bang (gods, plot, why have you forsaken me?).
22. Is anyone in love with you?
Not that I know of.
23. What was the last song you heard?
Smile by Robert Downey Jr.
24. When was the last time you cried?
While I was writing the Gail/Stevie "hashing it out" scene in my AU Big Bang. Oh gods, it made me choke up so badly. D: Just... gah. Rereading it makes me tear up again.
25. Are you on a desktop computer or a laptop?
Laptop!
26. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
YES. I want another hole in my left ear (soft, squishy part, not the hard cartilege) and I want a tramp stamp with Captain America's wings. There's also plans for a tattoo withclex_monkie89 and jadetate in October. That takes precedence in my limited funds.
27. What’s the weather like?
Overcast, but not gloomy or dark. It's a nice day.
28. Would you ever date a girl/guy covered in tattoos?
Depends on the tattoos. Artistic or meaningful, sure, but I admit I'm a bit of an art snob.
29. What did you do before this?
Took my dog to the vet.
30. When is the last time you slept on the floor?
I... don't remember lol. Christmas before last, maybe?
31. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
4, it seems, but I really should get more to function at full capacity.
32. Do you eat breakfast daily?
Yep. If I don't, I get sick.
33. Are your days fast-paced?
Not so much, no.
34. What did you do last night?
Wrote, cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, etc.
35. Do you use sarcasm?
Constantly. Apparently my sarcasm is good at slipping under people's radar. Whoops.
36. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
27, ohnoes!
37. Are you picky about spelling and grammar?
>.> Just a bit. I understand typos and such, but... I require at least an attempt be made.
38. Have you ever been to six flags?
Never.
39. Do you get along better with the same sex or the opposite sex?
Hmmm. Same sex, lately. I would have said otherwise a few years ago, but lately men have been making me pretty uncomfortable on a personal level and I don't know why. :\
40. Do you like mustard?
Honey mustard only.
41. Do you sleep on your side?
Yes, except when a cat has me pinned.
42. Do you watch the news?
Not really. Only when something big is happening, because I really don't much trust the media. I'd watch The Daily Show and the Colbert Report if the times were more convenient.
43. How did you get one of your scars?
When I was a kid (7 years old, maybe?), a dog I'd known since he was a puppy attacked me. It left punctures on my left arm and my chest. I don't really much remember the attack itself. I just remember the dog's owner's trying to get me to go inside so they could clean the wound, and I insisted that no, I was okay, I just needed to go home now and no, really, it barely hurt at all and I'd be okay. This is while I was bleeding out pretty heavily, couldn't use my arm and had a hole in my t-shirt over my chest. They let me walk three blocks home by myself, and then I got taken to the emergency room.
In retrospect, I have no idea wtf they were thinking.
44. Who was the last person to make you mad?
That's hard. I don't get mad easily. Gotta say it was probably my Aunt. She doesn't take "no" for an answer.
45. Do you like anybody?
Nope, romance free right now, thankfully. I have a bad habit of liking people who are unattainable and/or bad for me.
46. What is the last thing you purchased?
Lunch at Burger King. Before that, $200 in vet bills. (Oooowie. And more tomorrow! D: )
47. What side of the heart do you draw first?
Right.
48. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
YES. :D
49. What colour is your razor?
Light blue, almost teal.
50. What is your blood-type?
I think it's AB, but I'd have to ask my mother.
51. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
clex_monkie89. We practically were back when she shared a high school. It would be nostalgic.
52. What is a rumour someone has spread about you?
I'm... not sure?
53. How do you feel about carrots?
OM NOM NOM.
54. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Six.
55. Which is the best Spice Girl?
Will you hate me if I admit that I don't know my Spices?
56. Do you know what time it is?
No. :P (checks) 3.41 PM.
57. Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?
Yes. ¬¬; What? I was raised in the 90s. Bite me.
58. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?
Look for the camera.
59. What’s your favourite kind of gum?
Anything minty. I like Orbitz, but I'm not picky.
60. T or F: All’s fair in love and war?
F.
61. Do you have a crush on anyone?
OH. OOPS. So the other "like" question wasn't... Well, I guess "like" is now a loaded word.;; Nope, no crushes.
62. Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?
Yes. (facepalm) I don't know how it happens. An instinctive grasp from see it/hearing it, maybe? I also don't know how to pronounce a lot of words in my vocabulary. I still think it's "hyper-bowl" instead of "hyper-bo-lee".
63. Do you like to sleep?
Yes. ;-; I don't get it enough.
64. Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings Time?
Arizona. After that, nope.
65. Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
Yes.;;;
66. Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang?
If it would run better than my dark green '00 Sunfire? Yeah.
67. What’s something you’ve always wanted?
Always, huh? The specifics have changed since I was a kid, but I've always wanted to make a difference in someone's life.
68. Do you have hairy LEGS?
Shaved last night, so very slight stubble.
69. Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
Lake. The waves in the ocean sometimes make me @.@.
70. Do you wear a lot of black?
Oh yeah. Black is my staple around which all other colors orbit.
71. Describe your hair:
Long, starting brownish red at the top, shading to true auburn and then going dark at the ends In need of a trim.
72. Do you have Entomophobia?
Nope.
73. Are you an adult?
Some people would argue, but I am legal to buy alcohol, so yes.
74. Where is/are your best friend(s)?
Scattered. *sigh*
75. Do you have a tan?
Sort of? I have a fading farmer's tan.
76. Are you a television addict?
Nope. I barely watch it.
77. Do you enjoy spending time with your mother?

It's okay, but not a favorite.
80. What sign are you?

ETA: From Amazon:
Unfortunately, due to a pricing error, we sold many more than expected. In fact, we completely sold out — we don't have any in stock right now, and we're not even sure if we'll be able to get more.
As a result, we've had to cancel your order. I realize this is disappointing news, and I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
WOE. I AM SADPANDA.

Date: 2010-03-09 11:39 pm (UTC)I think kids are taught to learn words from context, so while they can use said words in a sentence correctly it's hard to give an exact definition of them unless you actually go look them up in a dictionary.
(This is why for me, 'couple' (numerically) is three or more and 'few' is one or two. Ahahaha oh parsing.)
