Snow D:

I have to go to three places, with two more semi-optional, and I was going to carry a box to JCEO but screw that, I'm going to get out earlier and maybe I can get things done before I have to be there. If I start at the bank, go to DSS, go to JCEO, go to see Jen, get a milkshake, go back to JCEO xD and then check out the co-op on my way home. Okay. I have a plan. I feel like Little Billy from Family Circus, I'm going to leave a dotted line behind me in the snow.

KoLwise: I realized that there's no reason to rush through the Frat/Hippy war, because there are awesome kickbacks you can only get for the duration of the quest. Like special beer. xD So now that I've done all the side quests, I'm going to take it easy on the main part and eventually I will get the Order of the Silver Wossname medal. :D

Downloaded Juno last night, but it wouldn't switch to iPod format. Sad again. I'm going to try it again while I'm gone and keep my fingers crossed.

I'm slightly afraid that the cats will eat the house while I'm out. They're being more insane than usual. Minerva's getting fixed on Thursday, so it'll be Butcher's turn to freak out from loneliness, which... oh my god HA, he just ripped across the room, jumped off the couch and went headfirst into the front door and THUMPed, ahahahaha!

Okay, yeah, going to get ready. With my plan in place. :D

So I decided not to get a milkshake after all, based on the fact that I have like eleven dollars to my name right now. x.x And I skipped the co-op because... shit, like I need to volunteer anywhere else, and if I'd gone in I would have blown all my money on hippie food.

Aside from that, I done good today. I was mostly left to my own devices at JCEO but I was very productive anyhow. Jen said that I was the only person she'd ever seen with the notation "very pleasant" on their home visit report. xD I'm kind of awesome?

So now I have to call someone at DSS so I can get my crazy pills refilled, hurrah, and then I am pretty much done with today and I will lay around and read So You Want to Be a Wizard all day. ♥ If I felt like walking to Goldie's, I'd get butter and make cherry squares, but... I don't. xD

I should also finish writing this Doug story (second-person POV is stupid, I should stop doing it) and this Warren story. Later.

...truthfully, I'm probably going to take a nap.

I am 22 years old and I still cry every time I read the end of the first Young Wizards book.

I wish Timeheart were real.

Links and music, yaaaaay!

Running the Numbers: An American Self Portrait. This artist uses statistics to make his art, representing consumption and issues with related objects to make awesome art. My favorites are the nine million wooden ABC blocks, equal to the number of American children with no health insurance coverage in 2007, and the one with 213,000 Vicodin pills, equal to the number of emergency room visits yearly in the US related to misuse or abuse of prescription pain killers. (note: if I had 213,000 Vicodin pills, I would abuse them too.)

A brothel in Prague lets you have free sex with their ladies... and the only price is being filmed for Internet broadcast. Who's up for a trip to Prague? (besides you, it_grrl. lol)

Sargent 1st Class Boe wants to lick your face. Therapy dogs being used on active duty personnel in Iraq. I think this is a wonderful idea, and the article says as much. There's nothing like a good puppy cuddle to get your spirits up sometimes...

A sociologist studies gangs by getting deep inside one. Dude, if I was good enough friends with a gang leader to take over a gang for a day... I don't even know what I would do. This is crazy, and I will be looking for this book because, holy crap, that's awesome.

People believe weird things about money. For example, a person would rather make less money overall, but make more money than the average person, than make more money overall, but less than the average. This is interesting, and weird. People are stupid!

Now for the music:
I uploaded these for a community, but I will share them with you, too.

This one, though, is just for you!

we're gonna be healing for a long time, but we won't be sleepless and we'll get better each night. 'cause we're not afraid of dying. we're afraid of one day never to die. you set your heart out in the graveyard. go get your heart back from the great beyond.
