Still alive over here

[cleolinda]

Still hanging in there. Actually, I've been quiet because I haven't been able to get to the computer in two days. Yesterday I got my hair did for the first time in something like nine months (!), and... it's shorter than I expected. Really much shorter. So I'm adjusting to that. I mean, I had horrendous split ends, so what're you gonna do? Then today I was out at the mall getting a birthday card for my stepfather and helping my mother pick out something for him--

@cleolinda Being stalked by Edward Cullen in favorite bookstore. Four displays, damn.

@cleolinda Got stalked back on the way out with my buffalo chicken sandwich. Back off, Sparkles, you don't eat people food.

@Eviey @cleolinda All I can picture is a Sparkles display escaping the store to watch you sleep at night.

@cleolinda @Eviey And in the 5 sec before the grim truth hits me, I'm going to wonder why there's a stand of magazines and candy by my bed.

--and ended up getting a sandwich from Charley's that pretty much knocked me out for most of the afternoon. I'm still yawning, honestly. (Have you heard my theory that just READING the word "yawn" makes people yawn? You're welcome.)

Also, broke a nail while gesticulating wildly (my hand hit a nearby cabinet; the nail broke off down to the quick). Only me, people.

Ow. Was it fangirl flailing or something worse?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was just on the phone with someone and waving my free hand around.

Reading the word "yawn" didn't make me yawn but I guess it's because english isn't my mother tongue, though I know what "yawn" mean.

(Have you heard my theory that just READING the word "yawn" makes people yawn? You're welcome.) I was all ready to disprove your theory, and then I yawned. And again, just now. Dammit.

Yawning

I'm fighting it. Its really hard.

[acaciakitty.livejournal.com]

Not only you. I've broken nails and even managed to sprain my thumb doing that. I have a hard time speaking if I can't move my hands around.

[melchar.livejournal.com]

Not just you [too]. ^_^ That's SO me. I have shattered nails [usually by whacking a counter or cupboard door] when my clumsiness power activates.

[piccgirl.livejournal.com]

I've broken a nail playing piano. That wasn't fun.

Edward Cullen is watching you sleeeeeepppppp. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[stormyskies.livejournal.com]

I want make a buzzkill macro with Edward now. "Why are you in a restaurant, Edward? You shouldn't be there. You don't even eat people food."

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

Your comment makes me want ravioli.

Not sure why.

[aestasbeyond.livejournal.com]

There is no synonym for yawn and it freaks me out.

[robinalaska.livejournal.com]

Pandiculate.

You're welcome!

[t4-flirt.livejournal.com]

*yawned*
Gee, thanks.

And the whole Sparkles thing makes me giggle. I giggled when I saw it on your Twitter and I'm giggling again. Hopefully TLE will protect you. ;)

[count-01.livejournal.com]

Not just you: I've busted a nail while talking on the phone, even though no one could possibly see me talking with my hands while on the other end of the phone.

And either I have remarkably tough nails or I am a huge wuss, because that shit hurts.

I just got around to reading your True Blood recaps, because I just got around to watching the show this summer after finishing all the books currently in paperback. The show's amazing; I don't know why I didn't watch it before when everyone was telling me to.

I loved the recaps and I was wondering if you were planning on picking them back up again possibly for the third season?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I have the DVDs and want to finish out the first season at the very least, but I've had so much work and so many health problems that I wasn't able to initially, and I don't know when I'll get back to them.

[shoppinggoddess.livejournal.com]

Reading the word "yawn" didn't make me yawn, but reading your yawning theory did. :D

[rina2o6.livejournal.com]

I fought the yawn but I am now so so sleepy!
I almost think it would be less creepy to have Cutout!Edward lurking in the corners of your room than Real!(Fictional)Edward.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

Ok, it didn't make me yawn until you said that. Wench.

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

*yawns*

Make that only us Sagittariuses. I have done that more times than I have fingers (and nails) to count them on.

*yawns some more*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Make that only us Sagittariuses.

Another Sagittarius, reporting for duty, sigh. I actually currently have a cut on my hand from doing just that, only I wasn't even talking to anyone, I was having a conversation in my own head about something I'm writing. I'm extra-special!

[jettcat.livejournal.com]

I think we may be sekrit internets sisters. I broke a toe yesterday walking into the garage.
Yes, INTO the garage...

[chibimitch.livejournal.com]

dude, where is that icon from? freakin awesome!

[sookehhh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I yawned.
The fact that I'm studying for my Latin midterm probably didn't help.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

I fought it, and lost.

[dylan-weir.livejournal.com]

That theory would be right, according to the National Geographic Magazine for kids I grew up reading (World magazine, for any other readers out there, SHOUT OUT). It said that yawning is a kind of contagious behaviour throughout all different species including humans. And then it had photos of lions, pandas and chimps yawning. So by communicating the yawn in writing it would still work, because the idea passes on.
If this sounds really retarded, keep in mind that this kids magazine is about as far as I took science. I did take chemistry in 7th form but that was just cos I could have good conversations with the teacher about what was on tv, and we had cake days. Mmm cake.

*YAWN*

I'm sorry, were you saying something?

[lisa-zj.livejournal.com]

Only me, people.

No, srsly, I thought it was me. It's me much more often than I care to recount.

The good thing about getting all those split ends cut off (even if it was shorter than you meant it to be) is that now it will grow back quicker.

*unsolicited hair advice*

[aim-of-destiny.livejournal.com]

Well, not actually. But it may seem that way, because the ends won't be breaking off.

For maximum growth/breakoff rates, try to wear your hair up as often as possible. That way, it can't rub on things or get tangles, so there is less damage (from brushing and detangling) and you end up with nice, healthy, fast-growing hair. :D

Apropos of nothing, Balloon Boy slips up on Larry King, admits whole thing was for a TV show. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6UONWCq7A&feature=player_embedded) The father really needs to DIAF.

[silamai.livejournal.com]

I've managed not to yawn, yes!

Also I'm with you on all the Twilight merch. I went to a few stores at two different malls and entire walls were filled with the stuff. :/

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

This may seem odd but.. was that store Borders?

There's a Halloween store right across from my job, and anytime I look out the window, Bella Swan is staring at me from across the street. Honestly, those life-size cut outs were the worst things made next to the books.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Books-a-Million, actually. But my understanding is that Borders is The Official Bookstore of Too Much Damn Twilight. I think they get exclusives and what-all.

[katimus.livejournal.com]

hi, i was just wondering whether my parcel with the cards ever arrived? would suck if they'd lost it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw, they did! Did I not ever get back to you about that? I've had a hard time keeping up with things during the Compocalypse. They were lovely, thank you!

[maliekai.livejournal.com]

I'm still yawning, honestly. (Have you heard my theory that just READING the word "yawn" makes people yawn? You're welcome.)

I yawned. Before I read the parenthetical statement. Thanks.

Also, broke a nail while gesticulating wildly (my hand hit a nearby cabinet; the nail broke off down to the quick). Only me, people.

Not just you... :(
