Greetings Programs!

Hello Internets! Did you miss me? I missed you! ::grins::
I ended up spending most of the weekend with a friend. He’s a fun guy and we tend to do a weird variety of things. No, not *that*. You perverts. q: He’s an attached personage, for one. For two – eh. I’ve known him ten years. Just – never thought of him like that. (;

This weekend, we played video games and went shopping and hung out with other friends at a bar and played trivia. Oh, and had Dim Sum. Ha. God, that was amazing! Have you heard of this? You go in and sit down. They give you a card and then they bring around carts and ask you want you want. When you choose, they mark off on the card how much it is. And the food! Yummy! It’s seductive, I tell you. Would you like this? Yes, please. What about this? Yes, please. This? No, thank you. My god, by the time you realize what you’ve done, there’s enough food on the table to feed eight people. Well, maybe just four. But still! It really was good. Steamed pork buns. OH! And the pineapple buns. Though, I’m not sure it was really pineapple. Whatever it was, it was utterly scrumptious, and oddly familiar. I still cannot place that!

Do you have a friend like that, internets? One with whom you can do everything and nothing – and still have a great time? I swear, we do the strangest things sometimes. We hung a light in his kitchen once. We go shopping for furniture. We did that this weekend. Went looking at futons. Ha. Have cake and ice cream for lunch – because there was cake like whoa in his house. (He’d just made a cake for his mom’s 50th birthday party. It was an AWESOME cake. It was a lighthouse! Dude.)

So, that’s what I did most of the weekend. (; It was a blast and I just wish, between the two of us, we could work schedules better so we could do it more often. It’s a ton of fun for all concerned.

Anyway. Happy Monday, Internets! It is my Monday of no work this summer. I go back to work next Monday, the 20th. I am totally ready for it. I am going nuts, completely out of my mind – with utter boredom. There is only so much “weekend” time a girl can take! Well, at least *this* girl, at any rate. I’m not a “Type A” personality, not really, but I am enough of one to need deadlines and things which must be done or I just don’t get a damn thing done at all!

Oh my! This is the longest entry in a long time! HEE! Okay. (;

So – did you? Did you miss me Internets?

Not Pisces?

I’m totally amused. I was born at the end of February, making me a Pisces for a Zodiac sign. (;

I took a quiz and – didn’t get that.

Which Zodiac Sign are you most like?


You’re most like the sign Scorpio!
You’re passionate, mysterious, intelligent, and very determined towards your goals.
You tend to get angered easily.
Symbol: The Scorpion.
Keyword: SEX.
Soulmates: Cancer, Pisces.

Take this quiz!

I am amused, however! I am mysterious, intelligent, and very determined. I get angered easily, but rarely show it.
Here’s what they say about Pisces:

You’re most like the sign Pisces! You have a huge imagination, you love nature, and you are very romantic. Symbol: The Fish. Keyword: SUBCONSCIOUS. Soulmates: Cancer, Scorpio.

All of that is ALSO true. Now, how can I be both? Scorpio is – like – November, people. XD

Thursday Thirteen – Part IV

Week #4 for Moi.  Consecutive weeks?  No, but that’s okay.  We’ll get there.  (;
And this week, because of the previous entry, we have Emo week!  Yay!  Hrmmm.  Perhaps I should lurk in the shadows and talk about how life is pain….
(and for those of you who have no idea what Emo is – Wikipedia is your friend.  Look below the TT for an excerpt.)

Thirteen Emo Things about Poe

  1. I brood.
  2. My MSN nick is generally pretty indicative of my mood.
  3. I have come up with too many ‘witty’ emo sayings.
  4. There are days I feel like the Queen of Angst.
  5. I also feel like the only nearly-thirty person who angst this much.
  6. I have no reason to be this angst-y.
  7. Maybe I just like angsting in the dark.  (Sorcery 101 is love.)
  8. Did I mention I brood?
  9. My cat has learned the signs of angst.
  10. My past has entirely too much to do with current moods.
  11. I hold way too much emotion inside.
  12. I have entirely too many online aliases to indicate angst and emo-ness.  __ is my favorite.
  13. I feel less emo now that I’ve finished this list.  How odd.  (;

An Excerpt from Wikipedia on Emo.  (;

When referring to a person’s personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an emo person is emotionally candid, sensitive, shy, introverted, glum, and quiet. Depressed and broken-hearted are sometimes used to describe the emo personality. Emo music and poetry contain multiple references to unrequited love, emotional and relationship problems. Being melodramatic or attention seeking is also often associated with being emo.

Dear X #1

Dear X was something I ran across many years ago. In the intervening years, it has since disappeared from the net. I found another version of it, but it wasn’t quite the same. The original idea was to get all your feelings out on your own blog, not send them to a communal blog. But, for those of you to whom that appeals, cool. Me, I miss the old version of it. You wrote everything you felt and needed to say out to someone, but left off the names, leaving only – X.

I’m putting it after the bump for a couple of reasons.

  1. It’s long.
  2. Maybe you just don’t give a fuck – which is fine. It’s deeply personal and emotional. I know some people just don’t care to read that stuff.
  3. It oddly reminds me of the stuff I used to write in college. It’s nearly in verse. Oy.
