People! Friends of mine!

[lirazel]

I am back from vacation, freckled and internet-having! Despite the fact that I managed to get a sunburn rash the likes of which I have never seen (despite wearing SPF 50 at the time. Woe is me and my lily-white skin!) and stung by a jellyfish, I had quite a good time at the beach with my family. The sand was powder-soft, the water was the perfect temperature, and I got to eat lots of fried shrimp! Also, there was reading and sleeping in late and watching of old movies and the writing of a beginning for my novel. And a newfound addiction to the most fun game on the planet, bananagrams (it's like Scrabble, only way faster and more fun! Yay!). I may also have rewatched "The Pandorica Opens" and "The Big Bang" during the eleven-hour ride back home. How will we survive till the Christmas special?

But alas, now I am back to real life, and that's never a good thing. The BFF is back in town, though, and that is good. And now I get to catch up with all of y'all lovely people. It'll take me a few days to catch up on my flist, so if something dreadfully ~important happened while I was out of touch, feel free to link me here. Surprisingly, I didn't really miss the internet while I was gone, though I did miss y'all. So catch me up on your lives!

Yay, Lauren! I've missed you!

No big developments to report, other than my community college decided not to fill the position I interviewed for. It's possible we were all just really disappointing, but otherwise I'm guessing it was a financial decision.

Oh, and I'm about 2/3 through The West Wing S1 and think CJ/Danny is the most adorable thing ever.

Yay! I missed you! I have been busy watching Lost and taking pictures of my kitty (who has been busy spitting medicine at me) and being dissed by Emmie.

*is jealous of your beach-going and fried shrimp-eating* And I hope there was some kind soul willing to pee on you. Because of the jellyfish OMG what kind of perv do you think I am?

Yay! I had a whole long comment but it got eaten by the stoopid interwebz. It was telling you about how I was like Annie and I was assertive and I made eye contact, and I told off Buffyfest for their totally biased interview with Scott Allie about the Riley one-shot (OMG! DID YOU HEAR THE ANGEL COMICS ARE GOING BACK TO DARK HORSE IN 2011? THIS IS MAJOR GOSSIP FODDER IN MY WORLD!!) which was ALL ABOUT BANGEL for all that it was THE FRIGGEN' RILEY ONE-SHOT!.

In other news, I realize I have latent rage issues regarding fictional characters which I will be discussing with the therapist.

In other news, my life has been consumed by work and getting the BFF's wedding settled, which is less than two weeks away. Our last-minute bridal shower/cocktail party is the same day issue #36 comes out, but the other bridesmaids have reassured me that we'll run to a comic book shop to pick up the gorgeuos Jo Chen Spike cover and that I'll have internet connections where we're baking and holding the shower so I can keep up with the wank and the LOLZ. The next day is the rehearsal, the following day is the wedding, and the day after that I drive home from LA, so I won't be up to date on later LOLZ and wank.

Oh, and I finished series five of Doctor Who. AND YOU WEREN'T THERE! I WAS TOTALLY BEREFT! You missed my capslocking about Eleven/Rory/Amy. I CAPSLOCKED AND YOU WEREN'T THERE! THE JOY OF SERIES FIVE WAS ALMOST GONE WITHOUT YOUR MUTUAL SQUEEAGE!!

Yeah. I could very well go into an off-key rendition of "My Life Would Suck Without You," but I like you too much to put you through that.

Oh, and look at the pretty icon Moscow made me!

*eyes speculatively*

You were... in Australia? Or in somewhere suspiciously Australia-like?
