So I finally get around to copying the tags and user pics to Dreamwidth... And then when I go to the "import" feature in Dreamwidth, I see that this can be done automatically *bangs her head against the keyboard*

And this is why you should read the instructions first...

Weather forecasts were right for once, it's been snowing all evening. First snow of the year. According to the forecasts, it's to continue snowing until Friday morning.

Der Schneidezahn, den ich mir vor ein paar Monaten bei dem innigen Kuß mit der Steintreppe schief geschlagen hatte, war wieder fest angewachsen. Aber ich glaub, jetzt hab ich ihn mir wieder gelockert mit einer harten Brötchenkante *seufz* Wackelt, zwar nur minimal, aber trotzdem. Ich dachte, die Sache wäre erledigt.

*grummel* Wenn er jetzt wegen dem blöden Brötchen doch noch ausfällt, nachdem ich ihn monatelang geschont hatte, werd ich echt sauer sein!

Gah!

I barely ate any chocolate since spring. Then these two weeks, I've been so stressed that my stomach is all queasy and I can't really eat my fill at the proper meals, so I'm always hungry and have started to eat chocolate like crazy again, never mind the Christmas cookie craze before. And that while my schedule has totally ruined what semi-sane eating habits I'd just established. I really don't want to know how much weight I've gained already.

Would you rent or buy the home of your dreams if a brutal murder had occurred there? What if you got to live there for free? Would your decision be swayed if it was rumored to be haunted?


View Answers

Sure! For cheap/free, it doesn't even have to be the house of my dreams. I don't really believe in ghosts, but if there's a nasty ghost, I'd just rent it to haunted house tourists, mwahahahaha!

By the way, when I was a kid, I pretended that my apartment was haunted because I thought ghosts are the coolest room mates ever.

Nachdem ich die ganze Woche zu faul war, hab ich mir gestern noch mal nen Tritt versetzt und für NaNo geschrieben. Nur 1500 Worte, aber immerhin.

1500 words after not writing for a week. Ah well... at least a start, eh? *looks hopeful*

PS: Oh, and giant alien robots ate my brain. Go figure.

If your romantic partner told you that, given the chance, they would sleep with a celebrity/public figure whom they worship from afar, would you be amused, disdainful, hurt, or bewildered? What if the crush were on someone you don't respect? How would they react if the situation were reversed?

First I would be dumbstruck. Then I'd be amused and make fun of my partner.

*sigh* Great, now I have this song stuck in my head when I should be listening to music which might actually inspire me to do some plotting for NaNo. Which is starting in... oh, 6 hours.

Who wants to bet that I'm not going to do NaNo this year? XD

Christmas baking and thoughts on romance heroines

October 31st, 2009 (03:33 pm)
bored

current mood: bored

We officially start the Christmas baking this weekend. It's early, I know, but I have to send goodie packages and I don't feel like baking all day, so it's better to start early.

While I was separating egg white and yolk, not only as interesting as watching grass grow, but also tricky for someone as clumsy as me, my mind wandered.

I never understood the many too-stupid-to-live romance heroines. These novels are aimed at women, often written by women, so they should make some effort, no? But then I wondered if it isn't done on purpose. Like not making male audience feel threatened by showing uh *cough* better-endowed men on screen. So the heroine is beautiful, young, rich (or will marry rich at the end of the book), gets Prince Charming, maybe a warrioress, princess, sorceress, but the reader can still feel smug in the knowledge that she'd be the better match for Prince Charming. HER, the reader, he wouldn't have to save every five minutes, she wouldn't whine and so on, so it's alright that the heroine gets the guy and not the reader because if it's her in the book, he'd obviously chose her over the heroine.

Hm, really need to get the transfer to Dreamwidth done.

And the homepage transfer.

And try my hand at coding a layout myself. I really, really want a Torchwood or Bumbleebee layout.

But really, this entry is just an excuse to show off one of my new icons :P

I got invite codes!

A few days ago, I got some invite codes for Dreamwidth.

So whoever wants one, just tell me :)

If you're going on a long plane or road trip, what sort of reading materials do you bring along? Is it different from what you usually read? Will you watch a trashy movie or read a bad novel or magazines just to pass the time?


View Answers

Books, books, books. I sometimes take two or three different books along. Usually some light reading from the genres I prefer anyway, namely sci-fi and fantasy. I also like to take along sodoku riddle magazines. And yes, I'll read/watch just about anything to fight boredom if I didn't bring along some of my own stuff.

More Firefly

October 5th, 2009 (08:03 pm)
nerdy

current mood: nerdy

I decided that Zoe/Wash is my Firefly ship.

This couple is just made of awesome. I love that they're really comfortable with another. Now my guess might be proven wrong, I've only seen 4-5 episodes yet, but it seems to me like among all these lost, displaced people on the Sereity, they've really found their serenity with another. I love the interaction between them, this balance. Men in real life have such fragile egos, it's really nice to see one on screen at least who doesn't feel threatened by a strong woman ;)

Hopefully, they'll get some episodes focusing on them.

Loved Kaylee's obsession with the "wedding cake dress", though it's an obvious plot device to show that Kaylee is a girly girl despite being tech girl. Kaylee is so cute she can get away with obvious plot devices.

Funny, though, how different my tastes are now from watching Serenity the movie a few years ago. I remember that Mal and Inara were my favourites then, both as characters and pairing. I barely paid attention to my current day fav characters.

Still weirded out that there are so few Chinese characters in such a Chinese-influenced universe.

Been trying to get a rice cooker on Ebay for days and now I finally won an auction!

For once, lag was in my favor! By the time my bid finally went through on second try, only 3 seconds were left.

Fanfic surprise

Tags:

So I was searching my messy hundreds of pages long "random snippet and story beginnings" files for a certain story this weekend.

And what do I discover?

I actually have some unposted short fic fanfic rotting on my hard drive. Well, one is a drabble series which isn't exactly finished, but there are enough drabbles to publish. The other is a one-page fic, but is definitely finished.

So yeah, not a huge discovery, but still...

I love surprising myself!

Killing someone isn't REALLY a crime when it's obviously a mercy killing to save them from their own stupidity, is it?
