I went to the Home and Garden Fair with my mom today. I don't even like to garden, but we go every year. We drive to the mall and then take the shuttle to the fairground. It's one of our "big" adventures together every year (the other being Vegas. PS: We're going to the ST convention this year. WE'RE DORKS). Last year I coudn't go because of work, and I was upset. About missing a gardening fair. So, as you can see, I'm kind of a big freak. Anyway. It was fun. The shuttle we took was number 815, so I was slightly worried we were going to crash and somehow end up on a magical island full of creepy smoke monsters and hot half-naked guys, but we got there okay. My mom bought this mop she's wanted to get for years. YEARS. Every time we go she freaks out over this mop, but she never buys it, and then whines about it for the rest of the year. So she got it. If she hadn't, I probably would have beaten her with a garden gnome or something.

We talked about my dad, who might be getting a nine to five job. Which is a terrifying thought. For as long as I can remember my dad has worked nights. For the last twelve years he's been the bar manager at a restaurant. And that's required him working at night Tuesday through Saturday. And now he's suddenly thinking about becoming a paper salesman. PAPER SALESMAN! Now, no offense to any paper salespeople on my flist, but that's no where near as cool as being an awesome bartender. And the thought of having my dad home in the evenings is weird. One of the reasons we all get along with him so well is because we don't actually spend that much time with him. He's my dad and I love him, but don't need to spend all that much time hanging out with him.

Then again, if he's a "paper salesman" like Mr. Benent, then I won't complain. That would be pretty awesome.

Was anyone else annoyed by the lack of caps in the questions? I was, but I was also to lazy to change it, so maybe I shouldn't complain.


From this weeks fannish5

What are the five coolest gadgets, in any fandom?

1. Shoe phone (Get smart) - When I was a kid I loved Get Smart. I thought the shoe phone was the coolest thing ever.

2. Sonic Screwdriver (Doctor Who) - "Have you never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?"

3. Magic Wand (Harry Potter) - Few things are cooler than an actual magic wand.

4. Puddlejumper (SGA) - They might be like Winnebagos in space, they might not even actually count as a gadget, but they are pretty damn cool.

5. Holodeck (Star Trek) - Again, I don't know if it counts as a gadget, but the holodeck is one of the coolest things EVER.


PS: Is it just me or does Chris Matthews have the worst laugh ever? It's horrifying
ETA: HEE! Not two seconds after I posted this, Keith did a whole montage of the laugh. We are obviously soulmates.

My mom decided she had to get the roof on the gazebo up now so I missed the last 20 minutes of the debate.

My mom just thought Teri Hatcher was Michael Jackson. Hee

Dear Jon,

You are the most awesome man on the planet. If it weren't for your lovely wife, I would totally be all over you. Keep on rocking hardcore.

Hugs and Kisses,
Me

Things that make me happy:

1. This quote from Justin Long (AKA Mac) in my Jane Magazine: "John Hodgeman [the PC guy] is so charming, I want to cradle him and give him gentle kisses."

2. Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies. The ones that are the rings with the chocolate stripes. Mmm. So good.

3. Playing baseball in my backyard with my little sisters

Things that make me not happy:

1. Cramps

2. No Keith again. Look, I get that Stephen gave you mono or something, but I'm going through withdrawls. I'd like you to be better now. Love, ME

3. Joe Mallozzi is a giant ass.

( Dude, I did that meme AGAIN )

Or something.

ganked from everyone and their Cousin Oliver:

Fandom always amuses me. I get where people are coming from, it can be hard to find any fic for the rarer pairings in any fandom. But fandom is supposed to be a happy shiny place. Stop taking it so seriously. I really feel like multi-shipping is the way to go. That way you're never disappointed.

PS: tx_tart is awesome because I love this icon.

It's that 10 thing happiness meme. If you want a letter, let me know. itsaslashything gave me "G"

1. gabsy, geekgirlofdoom, geekwriter143, goodtoast - They are my radtacular "G" lj friends. ♥
2. Guys - Preferably dorky hot guys with glasses.
3. Grease 2 - I'm not going to apologize for liking this movie. Cool Rider is one of the greatest songs ever.
4. Gummy Bears - Really any gummy candy could go here, but gummy bears are the best. Plus, does anyone remember that Gummy Bears cartoon that used to be on? That was freaking awesome.
5. Gaeta - Poor messed up Gaeta. I want to cuddle him and make him better, but I'm afraid he might try to stab me in the neck.
6. Greg Sanders - GREGGO! I must admit that I miss funny labrat Greg, but Greg of any kind makes me happy.
7. Grapes - YUMMERS. I love grapes. Especially frozen grapes. They are delicious in the summer.
8. Granola - Granola is so good. And good for you!
9. Granny Weatherwax - From Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Granny is pretty much the most rockin' witch ever. She could totally kill you with her mind. She probably wouldn't, but if she wanted to, she could.
10. Geraldo's mustache - Except for his awesome O'Reilly smack down, Geraldo is pretty much a giant douche, but he has a stellar 'stache.


And more answers to the 3 interests/icons things. If you want to do it, let me know!
