( “8 )

I was standing in the kitchen making myself a cheese sandwich for lunch earlier, and I opened the kitchen door to let some breeze in. My kitchen door opens onto a fire escape, because my building is Old, but I stood there eating my sandwich and staring out the door and I thought...you know, I never really had a solid idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew what I wanted to have -- a cool flat in a nice place to live, with all its little quirks and weirdnesses, and to be able to do essentially whatever I wanted.

Which...this isn't precisely what I had in mind, but it's pretty damn close. I love the sound of the train going past my windows and I love that I get to ride a train to work every morning. I love that my street has lots of trees on it! The evening of the 4th I stepped out onto my fire escape and could see three different fireworks displays: Uptown, Buena Park, and Wrigleyville. (And then a canister from a Buena Park firework landed on my fire escape, so I went back inside, but still.) I can see the lights at Wrigley Stadium and the Sears Tower from my front window, and I can smell the lake on breezy days. It took me a long time to love Chicago -- not like Boston, instant and instinctive -- but I do.

There are things I'd change -- a different job, a nicer kitchen, some plumbing that isn't cranky -- but on the whole I didn't want much and I've pretty much got it. I like this life. :)

Though I am having indecisive angst about what to cook or possibly purchase for dinner. :P

Proper picture of my new hair and jacket! I had lost my camera battery charger for a few weeks but finally found it again.

Also, my roots aren't that bad, my hair is just kind of dirty and the lighting is bad!

I have now adjusted Facebook/LiveJournal/Google to display in French as my default language.

Words cannot describe the deep, abiding, absurd glee I feel every time I boot up the Internet en Français.

Young woman to friend: And I was getting so fucking mad at my boss, so I reached into my bag and pulled out the emergency extra strength maxi-pad I always carry, and walked into his office and threw it at his face. And he looks at me calmly, picks it up, opens it up and sticks it to his desk, and then takes his bottle of water and starts pouring it onto the pad. So I scream, "what the fuck are you doing?" and he looks at me and says, "I want to see if the commercials are true."

Helloo!  This is my first post here... I always get a bit nervous posting to a new community, haha.  Now I'm not great at discussions or posting anything more than "omg that's awesome!" to an awesome post BUT I do have some arts that I can show! :D

( Let me show you some! )

Yeah!  Those are just some of my favourites that I've done.  If you guys want to see sketches or whatever, I have many. x)  I also have a deviantART and I'm going to update my website soon with some more Discworld sketches.

EDIT: OH WOW YOU GUYS, I am overwhelmed by how nice this community is!  Thank you for all your comments! ♥

Some nice news, the Red Nose Day drive that we did has raised £77 for Comic Relief, which is about $125. This is enough to enable a family in Africa to start a small business and become self-sufficient. Or, as I observed, dude, we're givin' people giant gourds!

Anya also wrote us the epic, fabulous poem of Askworld, The Lovesong of A. ROFLd Truesock. I nominate it for best use of "incipit" in a rhymed couplet.

It's been a quiet weekend for the most part but I got a lot done; this afternoon I'm going to do some fanfic work, and settling to mess around with the Lucky Book some more.

BUT FIRST. CARAMELS.

Between those and the pitas yesterday, my flat smells like a bakery exploded in a sweetshop.

It's too soon to tell if they'll set up properly, but the slightly runny caramel goop that I poured into the buttered parchment looks promising. I've always been a bit afraid of candy-making, mainly because WTF "soft ball" and "hard ball", that's the kind of shit you learn after doing this for thirty years. But I have a candy thermometer now, so everything juuuuust got easier.

I love salted caramels. I might even roll them in chocolate if I'm feeling especially ambitious.

Don't worry if you haven't seen some of your picks in battle as of yet. We are still working our way through Round 1. Since our August deadline is looming, we've decided to run both rounds concurrently until we whittle our 'ships down for the eventual Final Battle. (Round 1 will continue as soon as I can get the next post up)

Please feel free to skip over any pairings you're not familiar with or have little interest in.

Round 1 w/ tourney brackets for these 'ships can be found here.

I bring fanart. This one's a commission requested by Tarma Hartley in Y!Gal. !^__^

I'm not good at drawing kisses so this took me a lot of time. And yes, they're wearing tailcoats, she wanted them to look a bit victorian.

Slightly belated happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans, and slightly more belated happy Canada Day to the Canadians out there. ♥

It has been an exciting week! wonderseal has now moved in! And today we will be receiving a shit-ton of IKEA furniture and will be making a Target run, and the apartment well have a couch again! :D Be still my beating heart!

Job hunt is... progressing, though no results yet. Still, gotta keep on keeping on.

Went to see the Gas Works fireworks with wonderseal, nekokoban and faolimatani last night; the first time I've actually gone to see them up close, instead of from several miles away, and they were every bit as spectacular as I could have hoped for. Traffic was a pain afterwards, so thank you, England, for driving us home. ♥

sob I promise to be more interesting in the future .__.

Feel Good Meme! Cos everyone deserves to be loved.

Girl #2: Bitch, will you shut up about my damn pussy. Everybody gotta hear about my pussy? Shit, now we got half the damn city hearing about my pussy!
Girl #1: They probably smell it too.
