Went out for breakfast--Chappy's--and had a waffle. Mmmmwaffles. Also some sausage; I don't trust restaurant bacon, because it's never as crispy as I want it. And then I came home and went back to bed; and then I got up and worked; and then I had a headache and said, "I will write a journal entry now."


Random thoughts:

Do you ever reread something you wrote and find a really bizarre typo?

Walt sees Locke and Boone hiking back to camp and ducks away, yelling that he's gonna go get some whater.

I wonder if they keep that next to the haterade.


Whee! My Kate + Charlie 4Ever button (as seen in a slightly different format on E!, no less) arrived! Thank you, kira002!


MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON DAY! (Huh? Also, the short[er] version.)

Another great example of fandom crazy.

Help restriction out with her Fandom Cliché Poll.

Help jedilora out with her poll on media and celebrity.


Some of y'all asked me to post things and I have completely flaked and lost those links. If posting it would still do any good, let me know in the comments here, and I'll try to make up for that. (It seems that Veronica Mars got safely renewed and doesn't need our help or anything, for example.)

In that vein, if you ever ask me to do something, and I say I'll do it, and then I don't, please come back and remind me ("Hey, how's that thing coming?"), because... well, I don't want to make it sound like I'm a complete space cadet, but I have a lot on my mind. Let's put it that way. And this is not something that's going to change--it's not necessarily a stress thing; it's just how I am. I've usually got current schoolwork, future evil term paper and/or exam, current writing project, five other projects that want to be worked on, various personal relationship issues, something I've inevitably forgotten to do and am now in trouble for, and one or more Stupid Crack Songs roaring through my head at any given time. I'm not saying the rest of y'all don't have the same stuff going on, but... I don't think I compartmentalize well. It's all going on, simultaneously, all the time. You know how you're turning the dial on the radio and you sort of get two stations playing over each other at once? And then someone next to you in the car is talking, and there's another conversation going on in the back seat as well? That's kind of what my head is like. I just need y'all's patience and a little help sometimes, is all I'm saying.

Heh. Yeah, VM is safe. FOR NOW. So a link to Mars Investigations (http://www.marsinvestigations.net), our site aimed at getting new viewers caught up so they can become addicted and boost the ratings for next season so we don't have to go through this shit next year, would still be much appreciated. Plus, we have all these cool interviews with various cast members. Including Teddy Dunn.

Thanks! (And oh, did you hear the Lost finale is going to be THREE HOURS LONG OMG? Have fun with that. At least it's over two weeks.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Okay, I had heard that, but until you put it that way, just now... it had never occurred to me that I would be recapping all of it. Oh God.

*weeps*

[vkitty.livejournal.com]

Aww... poor Cleolinda has to recap three hours of Lost. Here, have an imaginary cookie. They're full of the invisible vitamins that boost typing strength.

On second thought, here, have twenty of those imaginary cookies. They're flavorfully ambiguous (did that make sense?).

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

*blink* Whoaaaa I just (read: a couple hours ago 2 minutes before I left the house, but I just got back so CLEARLY no internet has passed cuz Y'ALL DON'T EXIST WHEN I'M NOT AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cough cough ahem*) made a post declaring today to be "My Hed Iz Pastede On Dey".

Glad it was a good idea and not a stupid one. :-P

Oh, and...

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Heyyyy remember that time you promised to send me 50 kajilloin dollars? How's that coming along?

:-P

/end brat

[futureperfect.livejournal.com]

thansk for the link, sweets. <3

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, I meant to post it a lot sooner. : )

[pistolharris.livejournal.com]

On a completely random note, who is that in your icon, Cleo? Because I think I recognise it and it's driving me crazy.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." : )

[pesky-pesky.livejournal.com]

Oh, I had completely forgotten that you also did the metaquotes for crystalwank. Wow. You should get some sort of honorary degree for that.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm saying, man. Honorary doctor of wank, or something.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Where's Chappy's?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Mountain Brook. Fairly decent, really nice people.

[arayuldaiel.livejournal.com]

one or more Stupid Crack Songs sroaring through my head

Bizarre type indeed ;D

[arayuldaiel.livejournal.com]

Um. That was supposed to be bizzare typo. Typos, you suck.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly for the linkage!

And "whater" is, of course, a designer drink for wankers. It's to refresh the throat after we sit around going "What? WHAT?" at some of the crazy out there on the interwebs.

[thespianlizling.livejournal.com]

I was under the impression that whater was a drink for haters, created to restore those vital levels of snark after you've been out hating all day.

[iremos.livejournal.com]

Hey dawg, here's a good misspelling:

He then beat and rapped her to death.

[kira002.livejournal.com]

Whee! My Kate + Charlie 4Ever button (as seen in a slightly different format on E!, no less) arrived! Thank you!

Yayness! Glad to hear it arrived at last. :)



If you're still taking requests for posting things, would you give a mention to the Crusade for Charity (http://www.sidcity.net)? We're running a raffle with some pretty great prizes (signed KOH poster; two of the bags that FOX gave out at the junket, and lots more); proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders, earmarked for their relief efforts in the Sudan.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks again--I wanted to thank you by name, but I couldn't remember your precise username ("It was Kira! Kira something! Oh crap").

Doctors Without Borders is awesome (see link on sidebar. Heh). Of course, I still can't believe they told people to stop sending them money during the tsunami efforts. When's the last time you ever heard a charity say, "We've got enough, thanks"?

[takekammuri.livejournal.com]

In that vein, if you ever ask me to do something, and I say I'll do it, and then I don't, please come back and remind me ("Hey, how's that thing coming?")

OMGBLACKRIBBONGIMME!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee. My big plan for the summer is to finish Black Ribbon in between 15M editing duties. Well, Black Ribbon 1, anyway--four "volumes" are planned. : )

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

Hey...believe me, we understand. Paying gig's gotta come first. School stuff is also pretty damn important. Your faithful minions have kind of an unspoken understanding, I think. "We want book. Teh Cleo, she make book. PLIS TO BE NOT DISTURBING TEH CLEO."

It's very nice of you to ask to be reminded, though. If I had that much going on, I'd very likely have to get rid of my modem entirely, just to FORCE myself to work.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

"We want book. Teh Cleo, she make book. PLIS TO BE NOT DISTURBING TEH CLEO."

Awww! You guys are so sweet. ; )

I'd very likely have to get rid of my modem entirely, just to FORCE myself to work.

Yeah, but then there's the whole problem with needing the internet to research or fact-check something.

Request for Pimpage

[slacker1985.livejournal.com]

Hey, Cleo!

I hadn't asked before, but could you please pimp this entry for me? http://www.livejournal.com/users/slacker1985/103420.html
Trying to come up with character names for a book I'm writing.

Thanks!! :-)

Re: Request for Pimpage

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I will, but you might also want to try behindthename.com. I was over there earlier, and they have names listed by nationality and theme ("fiery"; "jewels or precious metals"; "mythological figures"). It's pretty awesome.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

i got to page twelve of the Crystalwank...actually it was page eleven...when my right click stopped working...i fried my computer...i feel sort of bad...my poor already dying computer is in need of rest...so of course i continued on to page 12...after page twelve i moved forward a day and my lord...MORE PAGES...so i kept venturing forwards til i got to the thirties...i am unable to read anymore...the funny hurts now...and i am exhausted...i know that wank got up to the 100 some pages, right? my god...i dont know how you recapped all of that without dying...

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, there were some 13,000+ comments on Crystalwank. If you can read one comment every 30 seconds, it would take you four and a half days to finish the thread (reading non-stop, day and night, no food/bathroom breaks).

[megmatthews20.livejournal.com]

Minor misspelling in my icon, but I made it about a week ago, which is funny, now posting it the day after the anniversary and all...

cheers

[megmatthews20.livejournal.com]

make that like...3 minor mispellings, unfortunately my GIF program has self-destructed, so it is unfixable...meh

cheers

...The Valley of the Wind :-)

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

Lately, you've had many an icon flying straight out of the interest side of my brain...on a handglider with a fox-squirrel hanging on to my shoulder. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cleojones/96149.html)

[fluffykitten345.livejournal.com]

Been buzzing around your uniformly funny LJ and m15m for a while, but had to come out into the open to say *yay* for the Franz Ferdinand mention.
I'm actually from Edinburgh, so we like our Franz over here. I'm sure you've got the album, but if you're interested in a few free demos/videos/rarities etc I'd try www.franzferdinand.org
Bye!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aww, cool. Actually, "Take Me Out" is the only song I've heard.

[pjrampolla.livejournal.com]

This is not a big deal or anything, but do you remember talking to me about writergirls?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah--I had two mild complaints, and I'm not sure which one was which, but yeah.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

HEE! I just spent way too long on the Hed is Pastede On Yay! wank when I should have been working!

How do you get one of those journalfen codes? I feel bad posting as Anon.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I answered you over there--I don't think account creation is on at the moment. When it comes back on, I'll let you know.

[crypticidentity.livejournal.com]

OmG, Cleo--I just read the fourteen pages of wank you have up there. I tried posting a comment there, but stupid parental controls barred me from it... To sum up: you deserve a medal or something, or a personal title like "Chronicler of the Wank." That was just HILARIOUS.

PIMP ME!!! *dances... erotically to get your attention*

[freethegayboys.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you're still taking PIMP requests, but this one (For me) is kind of important... I'm planning to write an essay on the nature of fandom, and I want as many different sides of fandom, and all types of fandom-people to respond. I really do need a HELL of a lot of information for it to work.

http://www.livejournal.com/~freethegayboys/70266.html

If people want to comment there... I'd really appreciate it... a lot. *grin*
