I'm basing this theory on my experience with fathers, and on tales told by others about their own fathers, and said fathers' love for HORRIBLE jokes.
I don't think I know one father who doesn't make horrendous puns and tell bad jokes all the time. I know some people who do who aren't fathers, but I don't know any fathers who don't.
So, even though this theory is probably FALSE, I am going to call it true until I am personally presented with evidence to the contrary.
In other news, it is nine o' clock and I have only been awake for three hours. Sleep schedule: officially fucked up.
Also, I am house-sitting for my former teacher at the moment (and for the next week and a half). I have mostly been playing with her dogs, reading, and sewing. And by sewing, I mean getting very very frustrated at how I have lost my directions for the two main projects I am working on right now.
Man, you wouldn't expect there to be this much alcohol in a teacher's house, but here it is. In the fridge and an entire cupboard. And there are like four toilets in this house! And three showers! Only two people live here! I don't understand!

awake - Music:Dance Ten Looks Three - A Chorus Line
If I am to judge by my own pets, then I have to say yes. I have to say that it's probably a really twisted sense of humor, because some of these cats seem to take an inordinate amount of pleasure in waking me up in the middle of the night. The dog is a little more polite, though.
And man, have you ever seen dolphins? Those things totally have a sense of humor. Sense of revenge, too. You start making fun of a dolphin in front of one, and you are going to get splashed. Seriously.
But yeah, humor is totally not unique to humans.

- 04:48 Ugh headache plus falling asleep with my contacts in is like the most painful ever. #
- 04:52 Guilting me will not actually make me come back to bed. #
- 05:21 Shower really freaking hot. It was kind of nice, but also kind of exhausting. #
- 05:30 Okay, maybe i will eat before i fall back asleep. #
- 16:52 Ugh lost my sunglasses. #
- 16:56 @nehirose i got then back after bowling. I had them on the bed last night! #
- 16:59 @just_mo except i made sure to grab them when i grabbed my phone. Just don't know where i put them down. #
- 18:15 @hazeymarie Uh, no. Should i? #
- 18:18 @hazeymarie i also wandered around the house, taking pills and locking doors. I just checked the bathroom. :( #
- 18:40 Gaeta what are you doing talking to Dualla? Do not be suspicious. #
- 18:53 WOAH WOAH CALLY WHAT THE HELL DON'T SHOOT BOOMER SERIOUSLY #
- 18:55 @just_mo DON'T CARE #
- 21:39 Oh jeez, fresh baked bread. Om nom nom. #
- 23:21 @hazeymarie You scared it away. Because I was not there. #
- 01:13 Oh god, I just got excited about seeing a fictional theatre program in a story. Why did I ever choose a different major? #
- 01:57 ...I'm laughing at fictional drama kids because they are EXACTLY like my friends. I think I'll call Lamar tomorrow or text Jesse. Something. #
- 02:05 Man, but I miss my drama family. :( #
- 02:29 Dear Annie, Please stop dropping crackers down your shirt. Seriously. Love, yourself. #
- 02:42 Hey, guys? I appreciate that you were created. That is all. #
- 03:06 I feel so sorry for my future roommate. I wouldn't want to live with someone who was as spastic as I am. #
- 04:36 Fact: Peter Parker just had some red tights laying around. Or else he went out and bought them. Either way, Pete, what the hell. #
- 16:03 @hazeymarie dammit, vana. #
- 16:10 Ugh, nine hours of sleep but I have no idea when the last time I ate was. #
- 17:14 Dammit, M, stop freezing up. It's just a Pandora radio station. Calm down. #
- 17:27 AGH COMPUTER CUT IT OUT #
- 18:27 @ballerinajay Frequently, in fact. #
- 00:34 Man, I just had this story revelation that was like a physical shock. I can't believe I didn't see this before. #
- 03:59 I was tired three hours ago, and yet I am awake and eating lasagna and shipping characters whose names I don't even know. #
- 20:53 God, my hair is pretty. It is super distracting. #
- 20:54 @Rose_King ...my hair? Lady, are you feeling all right? #
- 20:57 @Rose_King Aww. *hugs* #
- 21:30 @Espaqu Talented observer? Have you met me? I just know that my hair is pretty when I take care of it. Which...I don't always. #
- 22:24 Man, that was one creepy dream I'm glad I was only reading about, but still could have gone my life without any knowledge of happily. #
- 23:51 @BallerinaJay Tch, only losers go to bed at 1 am, xbox or no. #
- 00:18 Fact: I am a humongous dork. If it is possible for anyone to be lamer than me, I have never witnessed it. #
- 00:44 READING. Er. Reading. It makes me--it still. I still get more worked up over reading than about anything else. Words. They are affecting. #
- 01:00 Having multiple tabs up in three different programs makes me feel as though I am taking advantage of my computer. It can't do this much! #
- 01:32 AGH READING ABOUT THIS DEMON TALK TO THIS LITTLE GIRL IS FRUSTRATING because I know she later bears his child :/ #
- 01:47 Woah, The Sound of Music, have you always sounded this...cradle-robby? #
- 02:59 Fact: I love dwarves. I love dwarves as they are descirbed in actual lore, I love Tolkienesque dwarves, and I love generic fantasy dwarves. #
- 03:06 GIGGLESNORT WEREBEAR LOL FOREVER #
- 03:09 Stairway!!!! ...so maybe I get excited over trivial things, but at least I am enjoying life, right? #
- 03:12 "I can light myself on fire!" "I can too! ...once." #
- 03:43 Agh, I don't understand how there can be people who dislike Tales of MU. It is such a good story, and so well-written. I can't stop reading. #
- 03:59 And if this is giving up, then I'm giving up. #
- 04:13 "Honey Callaway did not 'kill a dude'." Oh, formal Dee quoting informal Steff. #
- 04:23 I can only imagine this coach by picturing that actress woman who only plays bitchy life coaches. And actual coaches. Jane Lynch, that's her #
- 05:25 I just realized that I have a character who is OLDER THAN AMERICA. It makes me giggle. Especially because someone will point it out to him. #
- 15:25 I have real blinds now! It's awesome! #
- 20:01 Got to see my brother tonight, showed off a bunch of digital art to him and summer. #
- 20:17 @Rose_King Sewing kind of at a standstill. Tis very frustrating. #
- 20:21 @Rose_King It is my first priority after con costumes, I assure you. #
- 20:27 @Rose_King D'awwwww, I love you too. #
- 21:02 The party of the first part, herein referred to as "the party of the first part," shall be... #
- 21:26 Aw, I love teachers. Especially college professors. They get so pissy when administration tries to tell them what to do. It's adorable. #
- 21:50 Oh snap, this girl's great-great grandmother just propositioned her boyfriend. I mean, they're elves, but still. #
- 22:21 Ugh I have nearly twice as much music as my ipod has capacity for. This blows. I need a bigger iPod. #
- 02:09 Okay, have room assignment. Found hall. It's like, right next to the Herberger. I'll point it out to those with me when we see Wicked. #
- 02:09 And ahahahahaa Lamar is DIRECTLY ACROSS the ENTIRE campus from me. Ahahaahaaaa suck. #
- 02:10 I wonder if I could still convince him to switch? #
- 02:40 @LaPlej Normal hours are for suckers. We live in the desert. It only makes sense to be nocturnal! (I say that to make myself feel better). #
- 02:51 Ugh I can't wait for school to start. I miss learning. #
- 02:59 It is really weird to read a story with a character sharing my name. Surreal, even. #
- 15:03 Awake now. Would REALLY LIKE TO DO SOME SEWING @HAZEYMARIE. But feel quite well rested. #
- 15:24 @hazeymarie And you have no time to SWING BY AT ANY TIME OF THE NIGHT to be FITTED FOR YOUR COSTUME HUH #
- 15:59 Wow, I'd forgotten I owned this David Bowie album. What a pleasant surprise! #
- 17:33 Taft Airplane. #coolbandsmadeuncool #
- 17:34 The Vaccine #coolbandsmadeuncool #
- 17:43 OH MY GOD I CAN'T READ THIS THESE PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID. ...fiction gets under my skin, okay? #
- 18:36 Aghghghg can I kill a fictional character for scaring the crap out of me? Didn't anyone ever teach this girl that screaming was for danger? #
- 19:14 @rihk Then don't! Heinlein shouldn't be gotten rid of anyway. #
- 21:04 Yeah, cause naval officers are so totally prepared for a ground assault against trained CYLONS. #
- 21:05 Chieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeef! #
- 21:08 Okay, ellen tigh needs to stop being such a manipulative bitch. #
- 21:46 Finished an episode of BSG, and decided to watch The Joy of Painting instead of another episode. Theory: Bob Ross is secretly God. #
- 22:29 You were my first real friend at Hogwarts--you were my first real friend at all! #
- 23:45 This shirt is the seventh most amazing thing ever: shop.cafepress.com/design/31296052 #
- 23:49 @neilhimself What. What. What. Why would. What. #
- 23:59 I am reading something that is really fucking surreal. Also: my fingers hurt ow I need to stop chewing on them I think #
- 00:23 Fact: if any of my professors in the fall are as awesome as the one I am reading about now, I will be very happy indeed. #
- 01:35 I love that the government's idea of the "basics" of copyright is twelve pages long. #
- 01:39 I also love that Chrome anticipates what I'm searching for to such a degree of accuracy. It might be coincidence, but it sure is convenient. #
- 02:18 "I've got a notebook full of...Sonnets. Sappy elven poetry." #
- 02:21 I love how @TheRemusLupins music can make me stop being productive for a spastic dance break, complete with pen drumming and singing along. #
- 03:02 Will someone please get this woman out of the mirror? She is in my way, and I can't see my reflection. #
- 03:30 I especially love when my tweets sound insane in hindsight. Thanks, poorly-wording part of brain. #
- 03:43 Fact: I make these chunky librarian glasses look GOOD. Oh yeah. #
- 04:12 I should probably stop chewing on my fingers. #
- 16:29 I'm up, i'm up. I'm also freaking adorable. #
- 16:31 @lizardkitsch :D #
- 18:32 BSG woo #
- 18:49 Tyrol asked cally to watch his rear. Hee. #
- 20:05 Woah, Starbuck paints? wtf seriously. ...and that is some classical-sounding music. WTF. #
- 20:07 @nrrspeakeasy It's pretty badass. #
- 20:11 Oh Callyyyyyyyy! CHIEF DO NOT MESS WITH ME LIKE THIS #
- 20:16 @nrrspeakeasy dude, she sounded RIDICULOUS when she called Chief a motherfrakker. It was horrible. AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH CALLY HMM #
- 20:30 @nrrspeakeasy I am going to assume this aspect of her personality appears later. #
- 20:51 @nrrspeakeasy Uh yes! Hilarious. #
- 21:23 Eating lasagna. I have an ambivalent relationship with this food. On one hand, it is delicious. On the other hand, it looks horrendous. #
- 21:32 Fact: foreigner is the most awesome music there is, and I will not argue this point. Until later, when I change my mind again. #
- 21:47 "Everybody hugs everybody and it is nice and I wish it would happen all the time." Fictional golems: speaking the truth since 2007. #
- 22:09 I always feel kind of guilty for thinking someone is pretentious, since I naturally tend towards pretension myself. #
- 23:16 @lizardkitsch I KNOW RIGHT #
- 23:58 @rihk That is kind of hilarrible. #
- 00:21 It has just occurred to me that copy-editing sounds like a pretty sweet gig. I mean, you get paid to read and correct stuff. That's awesome! #
- 00:27 @lizardkitsch ...dude. #
- 00:32 @lizardkitsch I love Disney's take on Greek mythology, with Hera being anything but a raging bitch to Hercules. #
- 00:34 @lizardkitsch Well, I didn't want to be the one to say it. She had her moments. Mainly by being better at bitchiness than anyone else, but.. #
- 00:42 @lizardkitsch Look, I didn't say they were FREQUENT moments. Like, I think there was one story I heard where I was like, Awesome, Hera! #
- 00:42 @lizardkitsch I think it had something to do with her being a bitch to some adulterous/abusive husband. #
- 00:45 @lizardkitsch Precisely. Also, would mythology be more entertaining without Hera being a bitch? I think not. #
- 00:57 I totally did not just walk into the wall. #
- 01:13 @lizardkitsch If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I think I've already won that. #
- 01:22 @lizardkitsch If you're okay with having a prize for rotten judgment and a denial complex, sure. #
- 01:25 @lizardkitsch And, y'know, selling your soul over some dick who'll abandon you right away ANYWAY. But yeah, totally. #
- 01:29 @lizardkitsch SHE SOLD HER SOUL FOR A DUDE. HOT OR NOT, GIRL IS KINDA DUMB. #
- 01:33 @lizardkitsch SOUL. SOLD. KIND OF ELIMINATES OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. (though I totally dressed as Meg for Halloween once so...) #
- 01:35 @lizardkitsch ...what. #
- 01:39 @lizardkitsch Yeah, okay. She's awesome, but kinda dumb. Is all I'm saying. #
- 01:50 Pro tip: when denying you are in love with someone, do not start by blurting out, "I'm not in love with you." Seriously. #
- 01:52 Thankfully, this pro tip comes to you not via direct experience. I am, at least, not THAT ridiculous. #
- 01:53 @nooneai I am merely reading, but it occurs to me that I have witnessed similar things more than once. Thought the tip might be helpful. #
- 02:06 ...Man, sometimes I come across something on the internet that is sort of like seeing two gods fighting, and my mortal mind is reeling. #
- 02:08 What is especially amazing to me is the fact that both parties were acting like little bitches. Man, I used to esteem these people. Wow. #
- 02:09 I think maybe this fulfills my "retarded b.s." quota for the day, and I must head to bed. #
- 15:44 Waiting to call my dad until after I have showered. One day, I will be able to actually wake up at a reasonable hour. #
- 17:39 Bah at Dad's phone not working. Bah I say! #
- 19:30 No I don't wanna do that. #
- 21:17 Fact: I have spent this entire day reading. There has been exactly zero work done. #
- 21:22 ...Okay, I just re-read something I wrote about a month ago, and it was pretty adorable. Writing switch officially flipped. #
- 23:00 Fact: fictional golems are more adorable than anything except for cats and other small, fluffy animals. #
- 14:34 Woo adama! You ASK the president to dance! #
- 14:41 No sharon! #
- 15:50 Oh em gee season one finale of BSG i might die. #
- 16:01 Dear gaeta, i love you. Love, annie. #
- 16:01 WHAT BAD ADAMA DON'T SEND THE CYLON TO THE BASESTAR NOT SMART NOT SMART #
- 16:14 @nooneai Oh yeah, all the suspense with none of the eye candy. #
- 16:17 Ugh this is super hella creepy #
- 16:23 Meanwhile, colonel tigh was a drunk. Also apollo was amazing. #
- 16:34 WHAT THE FRAK WAS THAT BSG WHAT WHAT NO #
- 17:08 ...okay, just now hearing Rufus Wainwright's speaking voice and, uh. Wow. Super gay. #
- 18:59 Now officially need @hazeymarie for another fitting of this cloak. I told you yours would be the trial one. #
- 19:12 THIS REALLY MEANS HEY @HAZEYMARIE COME OVER TO MY HOUSE SO I CAN MAYBE DO SOME SEWING KTHX #
- 19:12 Alternately, someone could magically bring me some extra bobbins for my sewing machine so I can use more than two colors of thread at once. #
- 19:13 Because seriously. Un- and re-winding bobbins all the time GETS PRETTY OLD. ...I am sorry that sewing makes me so angry, you guys. #
- 19:24 It is still amazing to me what wasn't considered racist forty years ago. #
- 20:07 "You had to be there." "I was there. There was here." #
- 21:17 Remember, if you have to be derivative, be derivative of genius! #
- 22:39 Cuddling with this big fat clumsy cat has left my bed covered in black fur. I anticipate sneezing before sleeping tonight. #
- 23:12 It's astounding; time is fleeting. #
- 23:17 I think maybe this would be a terrible movie if the music wasn't so completely fantastic. #
- 23:20 In fact, I think maybe a lot of the media I enjoy is right on the verge of being terrible. :/ #
- 23:25 My deity may not be able to beat up your deity, but I can guarantee she is more hilarious. Also more fun at a party. #
- 23:27 @nooneai Oh man but they are. And the stories later? So entertaining. #
- 23:30 @nooneai I think trying to figure out how these things come about make better stories than the truth would, anyway. #
- 23:32 Tonight on twitter: religion! #
- 12:51 Am very hungry, but not exhausted. #
- 13:35 Heading to @rose_king's house to pick up some fabric. #
- 15:30 Fact: @rose_king's family is awesome. #
- 16:08 @BallerinaJay One does one's best. AND ONE SUCCEEDS. #
- 16:10 @Rose_King Fact: SO? #
- 16:12 @BallerinaJay ...maybe. #
- 16:15 @BallerinaJay I feel like it is a pretty sweet idea and refreshingly simple after so many "LOL LOOK AT THE FANCY PATTERN" things. #
- 16:15 @Rose_King !!!!!! And what is that supposed to mean huh huh what #
- 16:20 @BallerinaJay ...what. what does that even mean, @Rose_King? #
- 16:20 @Rose_King Uh huh right. #
- 16:28 Fact: all of my RL friends are amazing and ridiculous. #
- 16:30 @Ambraj LOL FOREVER. I mean, Real Life, yes. #
- 17:04 Watching BSG. I love adama. It isn't news, but it's true. #
- 17:19 Oh gaeta! You just keep crushing on Baltar. #
- 17:49 Got so caught up in reading that I forgot to get ready for bowling. Agh fail. #
- 17:52 Where are all these animals coming from? I just got the dog off my lap and suddenly a cat is crawling out from under the desk. #
- 17:57 @Rose_King You have no idea. Fact: all the animals in this apartment ARE SHEDDING ALL OVER ME COUGH AGH #
- 18:03 @Rose_King I do not. I have a mutt and a bunch of cats with fur that keeps getting longer. And then falling out. ALL OVER MY SHIRT. #
- 18:10 @Rose_King We have one. It is nearly ineffectual. I've just gotten used to always being covered in fur. #
- 05:34 "Oh hey, this guy is friends with some giraffes." Perhaps we have been awake too long? #
- 05:36 @nooneai ...of course not. That's crazy. (now @hazeymarie is awake and also on a laptop.) #
- 12:29 Don't wanna be awake right now, but if steps aren't taken to even out my sleep schedule, i'll have trouble bowling tomorrow. #
- 14:39 Sometimes having a window that looks out on the pool makes me feel like a perv. #
- 15:36 Phone is not getting twitter updates. Ugh. Also: listening to Foreigner and contemplating doing something productive today, like sewing. #
- 15:37 #inaperfectworld I would actually have time to do all the things I want to do. #
- 15:50 It seems my computer is not able to handle the awesomeness of "Juke Box Hero" without slowing down WAY too much. #
- 16:30 Dear starbuck, you're a badass. Love, annie. #
- 16:56 'Adama's a cylon!' Cuddle cuddle. #
- 16:58 Adama/roslin otp! #
- 17:01 Dualla/billy otp, rather. Oh, i don't know. I love this show. #
- 17:06 Baltar! I think starbuck noticed that you were not actually doing exercises. #
- 17:20 Meanwhile, colonel tigh was a drunk. #
- 17:31 Roslin/adama otp! Shipping runs rampant. #
- 18:07 At the pool with falyne. She says the water is cold. I'm just here writing and watching her, so i don't know. #
- 18:07 The six year old swims better than i do. :( #
- 18:11 And then instead of writing, i sit here thinking about the physics of swimming. Oh dear. #
- 18:17 Whenever someone asks me to watch a child, i live in fear of failing a spot or listen check. Even when i was a kid, this was true. #
- 18:31 Oh god. I'm am adult figure here. I am the party responsible for falyne in this pool. No one has accused me of being am impostor! What! #
- 18:39 I have no idea what language these other kids are speaking. Best guess? Eastern european, middle eastern of some sort. Dunno beyond that. #
- 18:56 I'm looking at the cutest shirt, on like a 13 yr old romanian girl or something. She seems to be related to the kids falyne is playing with. #
- 19:20 Okay, falyne just started a game of marco polo and it's adorable. #
- 21:40 @lizardkitsch Don't worry; we have a plan. We are like cylons. Only I'm pretty sure my spine has never glowed. #
- 21:43 @lizardkitsch & just think how close you are now to our meeting spot! Why, you're more prepared for a zombie apocalypes now than ever! #
- 21:50 @lizardkitsch Oh, you finally started heading back east again? I didn't know. WELL THEN I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO DEPEND ON LUCK. #
- 22:30 "Two, what would you do if you were me?" "Cry all the time." #
- 01:27 Oh my god just found the best website ever it has nothing to do with fashion I promise because really haha haha ha. /nervous laughter #
- 01:52 Wow and I thought finding the correct era of WOMEN'S fashion was hard--it's like men walked around naked in colonial America or something. #
- 01:52 ...sorry, I just envisioned the Revolutionary War as fought by naked soldiers and I started giggling. #
- 01:54 The internet doesn't want me to know what was in fashion when one of my characters was still, you know, alive. #
- 01:56 And lo, complaining leads directly to me finding exactly what I need. Thank you internet! #
- 01:58 Maybe it shouldn't amuse me that one of my most laid-back characters was alive during the Revolutionary War, but it does. #
- 01:59 I mean, it's not like he would have fought. Except he probably did, because all his friends were and he is easily swayed. #
- 02:18 I remember, 4 years ago, thinking that the guy who made his own Jedi robes (canon-compliant) was cool, but strange. Funny how things change. #
- 02:19 I have been looking up costume references for the last hour and a half and making some is starting to sound perfectly reasonable. #
- 03:03 I would just like to remind you all (@hazeymarie especially) that Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day is December 12th. Mark your calendars. #
- 03:14 (I figure if I remind people far enough in advance, I can drag people into pretending with me.) #
- 16:25 Boy, i should not have gone back to sleep. Really freaky dream. #
- 19:46 #helpiranelection - show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - helpiranelection.com/ #
- 21:10 Hanging at @hazeymarie's house with @just_mo. And @espaqu too, I guess. Really we are all just on our separate computers. #
- 22:05 I originally came here to fit @hazeymarie's cloak. I have now been here several hours and helped (in a small way) to prepare dinner. #
- 22:43 Now it's been another half hour and I have eaten dinner, but remained otherwise unproductive. #
- 02:25 You are my sweetest downfall. I loved you first. #
- 02:34 Oh internet, I missed you so very, very much. How (and WHY) did people exist before you? #
- 02:54 It amuses me how Pandora always says BNL is similar to various novelty artists, as though they have never made a serious song at all. #
- 03:29 Dammit art reference sites, if I wanted to know how to draw a female I would look in the mirror. #
- 03:37 So if I now have a camera, why am I still searching online for hand references? I have a camera and hands, don't I? That's what I thought. #
- 03:48 Really enjoying the fantasy stories at the moment. Just drew two dwarf/elf/human comics, then a vampire comic (these stories so need titles) #
- 03:49 ...And no, I do not mean dwarf/elf/human as in a pairing. The story just doesn't have a title, and they are the main characters. #
- 03:50 Although, the elf kind of does have a crush on the dwarf. I am playing this both for laughs and for drama. Because I can. #
- 03:58 @nooneai eh, the elf isn't much taller. #
- 15:32 Dear Twitter, Can I maybe get ANY updates on my phone? #
- 16:02 I think mom had a girlcrush on the chick guitarist from heart. #
- 16:09 Tyrol and Boomer are breaking my heart. Boomer is breaking my heart. #
- 16:51 Boomer boomer boomer boomer! #
- 17:10 Baltar! Baltar! I love you! #
- 17:17 Uh, Baltar. What. What are you doing. Why are you talking to gaeta in the bathroom. What. What! This episode! #
- 17:18 ew, gaeta. Wash your hands. #
- 17:20 No more mr nice gaius! #
- 17:37 Oh, watching someone else's religious epiphanies. Awkward. #
- 17:38 I'm totally shipping Baltar/gaeta right now. Is that wrong? #
- 17:40 @nrrspeakeasy i ship Baltar/everyone, i think. But man. Gaeta totally has a crush on him, it's totally obvious. #
- 17:46 @nrrspeakeasy He is pretty amazing. #
- 18:05 Finished watching some BSG, got the sudden urge to listen to @TheRemusLupin's Bezour Pills. Inking a comic about a vampire. #
- 18:22 Think I'm gonna have to officially retire my 05 pen. Maybe the 03 as well. Good thing my 02 loves me. #
- 18:26 Dumbledore, you taught us what magic was for. #
- 19:20 Man, but these shoes stink. Where is the baking soda? #
- 19:23 Maybe now that my room doesn't stink I will be able to finish this drawing. #
- 19:26 Gonna ink this picture with my brush pen. Wish me luck. #
- 19:57 Bah chainmail is hard to draw. Maybe this is why I don't draw fantasy stuff very often. Except--well, there's a sword. It makes me happy. #
- 20:39 Sudden craving for chocolate. Thank god for fudgsicles.! #
- 22:28 This game was amazing: bit.ly/iJQIe #
- 23:23 Watching Oliver! with mom. It really makes me wish life was a musical. Or that i could convince people to burst into song with me. Always. #
- 23:26 So london really is like one big family like go this musical number, right? Right? #
- 23:29 Shut up and drink your gin! #
- 23:35 Good boy! What a crook! #
- 23:57 Urge to read wicked again...but i think i lent my copy to jazlyn. #
- 23:58 Of course i do, i live with you, don't i? #
- 23:59 I'm a regular gent, i am. #
- 00:00 What, fisticuffs?! #
- 00:36 I forgot how hot my lap would get when I would just sit around on the internet for hours on end. HMM. #
- 00:38 @just_mo You wouldn't think that, but when all I can do is write or draw with the computer, I usually use a desk. Go figure. #
- 00:50 But Golda, do you love me? #
- 01:26 @hazeymarie Ohhh, it's too bad about your sound system then. That's a really great movie. #
- 01:29 @hazeymarie Oh no. No nononononono. Don't do it. DON'T DO IT. #
- 01:57 I think someone broke into the ymca. Am alarm with a flashing light is going off. #
- 02:00 @just_mo i don't hear it from here. It's not a terribly loud alarm. #
- 02:59 @hazeymarie maybe it comes from only having had a backwards copy to listen to, but teenage werewolf just isn't my favorite. #
- 03:17 What I love about the story I'm working on now is that, while it does have a romantic subplot, it totally ends without a real resolution. #
- 03:29 I also love that it is a fantasy quest story with an unhappy ending. Sort of. OH NO SPOILERS #
- 03:31 @just_mo oh come on, by the time i finish it, you will have forgotten all about the spoilers. #
- 03:31 Or maybe i will have. Maybe the whole story will change. WHO KNOWS. #
- 03:32 @nooneai Dude, i am just now writing down the notes i've had bouncing around in my head. #
- 03:35 @hazeymarie i think maybe you will grow to hate me as a writer, then. Realism means never having to resolve all the plot threads! #
- 03:35 @nooneai Ahaha surely you haven't already worked your way through the links i handed out the other day. #
- 03:36 @hazeymarie Besides, it's only the romantic subplot that goes mostly unresolved. Everything else is resolved! Though mostly not very well. #
- 03:37 Have I ever mentioned that I love screwing with readers' expectations? For Want of A Physicist was basically the most conventional bit ever. #
- 03:38 This should maybe tell you something about me as a writer. (Namely, that I am a jerk. And by jerk, I mean ARTISTE!!!11!!!1!!!111) #
- 03:38 ...I think I need to go to bed soon. #
- 03:40 @just_mo What's that supposed to mean, little miss insomniac? #
- 03:41 @just_mo Torturing? Who's torturing? I'm working. #
- 03:46 @just_mo Hey, it's not like it's totally unresolved. It is. Just not in a big, spectacular way. It's kind of just...solved. #
- 03:56 @nooneai How solved is that? #
- 03:59 @nooneai Not very solved, then. Irritating. Endings are hard, but I like to hope I am better than that. #
- 04:01 I am actually having trouble with this beginning. Possibly I will start in the middle or the end, which I never do. #
- 04:27 Gah can't start writing without names. Fine, I guess I'm going to bed. Stupid brain, giving me plot and scenes but not names. Bah humbug. #
- 04:28 Ugh told mom i'd be up at like eleven. Bad idea, when inspiration strikes. #
- 13:14 I love how, no matter when i intend to wake up, my body always goes, Come on, ten more minutes won't hurt. Sigh. #
- 13:26 @nrrspeakeasy butbut there are gay people! And things they don't understand in it! #
- 15:19 I think @ballerinajay might be uhura. #
- 19:04 Seriously, Pandora? Two Phantom of the Opera songs in a row? What do you think this is? 'Lovely instrumentals w/high-pitched vocals' night? #
- 21:34 Maybe instead of watching @alyankovic's music videos I should get some work done. Or, I could keep watching. Decisions, decisions. #
- 21:37 @nooneai Not usually. I can't really write to rap or stuff that might get played on the Dr. Demento show. I could draw, of course... #
- 21:41 ...Man, the video for "Like A Surgeon" is really disturbing. I'm so glad I wasn't alive when this was getting played all the time. #
- 21:47 @nooneai Working at a desk with a dumb little placard. #
- 21:51 @lizardkitsch Truly, you are a diabolical genius. #
- 21:59 Dear self, try not to drool on your drawings. Seriously. #
- 22:13 I think maybe parents have more potential to ruin lives than anyone else. Ex: burying people upright, mispronouncing words, religion, etc. #
- 22:14 @nooneai A fairy? The drooling was just because I was holding my eraser with my mouth. ...on second thought, I mean to say porn. #
- 22:30 I just understood a pun in Japanese. Maybe I should stop reading manga and get out of the house once in a while. To somewhere not bowling. #
- 22:39 My hair is so pretty it is distracting. Why would I ever A: consider cutting it all off or B: not wash it for like five days? (Done both.) #
- 22:46 This cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ should not be so addictive and hilarious. THERE NOW I'VE RUINED YOUR NIGHT TOO #
- 22:51 @nooneai I'M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW I CAN'T BREATHE #
- 22:56 @nooneai Oh god. Now I'm just in pain. #
- 23:28 @BallerinaJay This is the second little prince quote i have read today and now i really wish i had a copy. #
- 01:20 Will anyone be mad at me for shipping adama/roslin? Because i really am going to. A lot. #
- 03:00 Sewing is hard fucking work. I forgot that. Like, it maybe would be easier if i had a huge table and a really nice rotary cutter, but still. #
- 03:01 I'm only still cutting fabric and pinning stuff, and i am sweating like i'm playing soccer at noon. #
- 04:05 I love callie. I do! I don't care if i have only seen her in like two scenes so far. I love her. #
- 04:27 Man, i manage to cram a lot of crap into a small amount of space. #
- 04:29 I quite like the new @theRemusLupins cd, but i must say, i still love Nevermind the Furthermore the most. #
- 04:31 Oh, but how i love Fortune's Fool. See, this stuff is why i always identified with Remus the most. Also i just want to give him a hug. #
- 04:57 @just_mo Well how am i to know? I just work here. #
- 13:59 Awake now! Nine hours of sleep makes me feel good. Breakfast, then i'm going to see about talking mom into some BSG. #
- 15:10 Baltar!!!! #
- 16:25 We have internet again! I have the best mom ever! #
- 17:10 I love how @yourmamaknows and I were watching BSG, but then we got internet and both have been on the computer since. #
- 17:10 ...and I don't know where my phone is. Huh. #
- 18:15 I told mom i was hungry, so she suggested we watch another episode of BSG. Uh, i'm not going to complain, but hunger. #
- 19:25 Okay, why didn't I have @AmbraJ on device updates? Weird. #
- 21:07 Oh, adama. If there is ever a time when BSG isn't awesome, i don't want to know when it is. #
- 21:08 Also, i have the best friends ever. <3 lamar. #
- 21:09 He actually called me to let me know i was right, even though he knew i would laugh and say i told you so. If that ain't love. #
- 21:35 Safety tip number one: don't touch that. #
- 21:36 @nrrspeakeasy What! #
- 23:47 Bah computer why won't you let me upload these pictures? #
- 23:54 Dear Leonard Cohen: the part of the internet I missed the most was my pandora radio station playing your voice. Seriously. I'm not joking. #
- 23:57 Bob Dylan was an attractive young man. I am somewhat surprised. But then, if McCain could be an attractive young man, anyone could. #
( Picspam under the cut! )
...I may have forgotten to say that I got a really nice camera for graduation.
- Location:my room
- Music:Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
- 02:30 Am now signed up for arts college housing. I think. Woo! #
- 04:52 I think watching movies with my mom has ruined me for most entertainment. #
- 15:47 Ugh just now awake. dammit, @hazeymarie! #
- 15:52 Seriously why am i just now awake? Do not want. However, do want MY WHOLE MORNING BACK. #
- 15:56 ...i just realized my sunglasses are not here. ...i think i left them at the bowling alley. TWENTY HOURS AGO. #
- 17:51 The hat's sacred, okay? #
- 18:00 Dear kowalski, you are very attractive and i love you. Also: that's all, actually. #
- 18:05 I love mort. #
- 18:39 Watching the battlestar miniseries with @yourmamaknows. #
- 20:42 Hi callum kieth rennie. I notice you're crazy. #
- 20:47 I also see you're a scumbag. #
- 22:16 Wait, callum kieth rennie is a cylon model? YES. #
- 22:29 Is it weird that i wonder what my dog is thinking about? She spends most of the day just lying around, staring into space. What's she doing? #
- 22:34 Watching battlestar makes me want to write fic. Lots and lots of fic. #
- 23:57 So in the commentary they compare the cylons to al-quaeda, which is odd because i have always thought of it more as a cold war allegory. #
- 23:57 Cylons are totally communists. I mean, they say something about accusing neighbors of being cylons! That's total red scare stuff! #
- 23:59 Then again, i think everything's about the cold war, generally, so...yeah. #
- 02:21 Okay, one pair of pants' panels added, one pair of pants patched once more for good measure (and because they developed another hole today.) #
- 02:25 @hazeymarie all you have to do is bring them over one day. I will fix one, then you will change into it and i will fix another, and so on. #
- 13:50 Dear kowalski, your many issues with everything from closets to computers--and of course relationships--are ridiculous and adorable. #
- 13:53 I think doc got to me. I'm reading way too much into this episode of Due South. #
- 13:57 But seriously, it's like they wanted to slather on as much subtext as possible. #
- 13:59 Fact: kowalski's stalking of his ex makes this my favorite episode of due south. One of my favorites. #
- 14:00 No, you're the smart one, i'm just pretty. #
- 14:23 Fact: kowalski makes me cry. #
- 14:25 Ray's hair is up, that's true. #
- 15:31 I think fraser is so good w/kids because he basically is one. Think about it! He always puts things in his mouth, he misunderstands stuff... #
- 15:31 Also it is adorable and amazing. #
- 15:33 I ship fraser/this bounty hunter so hard. #
- 16:42 Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so? #
- 17:25 Dear inspector thatcher, stop being such a woman. I love you, but stop. Seriously. #
- 17:29 Thatcher's issues with fraser are hilarious. And painful. BECAUSE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. #
- 17:33 YOU GUYS. Do you have to gay it up to much? Seriously. #
- 21:52 At @laurajoymusic's show with @hazeymarie, @nehirose and @just_mo. #
- 22:19 Man, people make funny faces when they sing. No offense, @laurajoymusic. I do it too. @hazeymarie provided me with photographic proof. #
- 22:58 Fact: i'm a jerk. #
- 12:57 I really do not like how much i like sleep. I mean, it's fine while i'm sleeping, but then i wake up and realize i slept through all the ... #
- 13:00 The point is, i'm up now and i feel sort of horrible. #
- 13:53 This fabric is really freaking slippery. Where are my pins? #
- 13:59 I seem to have lost approximately 150 pins. I still have about 100 but i'm not sure that will be enough. #
- 14:02 Remainder of sewing stuff located and moved into my room to be near the sewing machine. Reunited and it feels so good! #
- 14:08 The best thing about this fabric is how it doesn't wrinkle easily. Because i really hate ironing. #
- 14:57 Okay, done pinning the absurdly long piece of fabric. Now to actually measure things. Whimper #
- 15:00 ...agh pinned it the wrong way. I'm going to go watch am episode of Due South and fume. #
- 15:23 Wrist pincushion resized. Episode of Due South halfway over. Going to eat some cereal. #
- 15:25 Ray's dorky nineties glasses make me really happy. #
- 15:39 Fact: this orange is the most delicious thing ever. #
- 15:46 Uh...kick him in the head? #
- 15:48 'love you like a brother, fraser.' NO ONE BELEIVES YOU, RAY. #
- 16:06 Plus side of having the fabric folded this way: it is now half as long. Minus side: i have to pin two edges. #
- 16:11 I am laying on eleven yards of future cloak. S. My back is killing me. #
- 16:20 FABRIC OFFICIALLY PINNED. I'll teach it to mess with me, i will. Where's my chalk? #
- 16:28 When i say chalk, i really mean white charcoal pencil, because i have more of that lying around. #
- 18:26 Making macaroni and cheese. #
- 18:48 @batworm187 I am, in fact, using the instructions on the box. #
- 18:49 I feel so fifties. In between cooking, i keep running back to sew. #
- 22:18 Fact: kids love me. Corralary: i love kids. Addendum: that does not look like how one spells corralary. #
- 23:29 This neck hole may be way too freaking big. Seriously. Huge. #
- 23:31 Suddenly i am very glad i am doing this very early. I'm going to have @hazeymarie try this on tomorrow, then try to think of solutions. #
- 23:32 @just_mo eh, we'll have a big collar or something. #
- 23:49 Okay, i just pulled out a skirt i laid out the pattern for, and i have no idea what the hell i was doing. #
- 23:49 The instructions and what i did match up only occasionally. #
