Holy crap, it's been a long time since I've updated. I hope my twitter posts are entertaining, at least!

My livejournal turned 7 with no fanfare. The redesign will have to wait... I'm trying to figure out what I want, anyhow.

Katie is letting me borrow her computer for summer-tv-catchup purposes. I didn't realize Swingtown was on, and now SGA has restarted, which means that the rest of the Sci-Fi shows are probably also coming back. I'm not even trying for Doctor Who until I have my own connection.

My birthday is in less than a week. Kelly's gift to me is getting Geek Mike (as opposed to Gay Mike) to take me on a date. THRILLING. No really. xD He seems very my type. I may crash Katie's party, since ours are on the same day. However I am going to keep the drinking to a minimum, because I got embarrassingly plastered and apparently did some stuff I can't remember... So yes, that's on the decline, as are the cigarettes.

Every time I get depressed, I get determined to change my lifestyle to make myself happier and healthier, and then I give up. I can't keep giving up. I was listening to "Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty and I realized that I don't have anything to stand my ground for. I need to figure out what I'm all about and then live like it.

Big words for a girl who hasn't ridden the bike she was given weeks ago. It's really too far to go into town for me, but Scott and Amanda's house is much closer and I'm starting to hang out with them.

The house is becoming increasingly miserable for me. A lot of fighting, a lot of anger and pettiness and boredom, all mixed up into a soupcon of thinly veneered smiles over loathing. Mostly this refers to Tyler from my part, but everyone pretty much is mad at him. I really am looking forward to August 1 and a new apartment.

I've spent the past, uh, hour and a half or more watching Ren and Stimpy. I feel actively stupider but also sort of like the kid on my mom's waterbed who wasn't supposed to be watching it. xD

Mmkay, peace out cub scouts.

has I been a twit today?

• 16:30 The downswing sucks so hard. Especially with my birthday in a week, and all I feel is embarrassing and worthless. Whee. #
• 20:24 Apparently I'm getting hooked up for my birthday? Kelly is matchmaking me. This makes me both pleased and nervous. I know I like him though! #
• 22:39 Finally watched Children of Men. Clive Owen is the man. Hell of a downer movie, but I am more upbeat with good things to think about. #
• 23:30 Ren and Stimpy is slightly more disturbing than I recalled. #
• 00:06 Want a cigarette. Trying to quit. Like quitting pot, it's harder around Kelly. Still, I'd rather have the companionship. #

o hai, dis haz bn LoudTwitter

This is the first new icon I've put up in AGES. Next time I have the chance, I'm getting some for Wanted.

Wow, I am completely not here right now. So far out in the clouds...

The countdown has reached six days. I shouldn't be making such a big deal out of my birthday, 23 isn't old, but I feel so useless for my age.

Anyway, dwelling is lame. This time out I'm not harvesting fic, because I am lazy.

Our friend God drives a taxi, and he just called Lacy to say that he's fishing in Ausable Chasm and it's so deep it's scary. xD I haven't been out to Ausable Chasm in many a year, but I seem to recall good soft serve right near there. Maybe people will want to go day tripping!

Okay. Finishing up because Lacy wants to show me music videos. Sweet.
