Happy birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
light_music! You were one of my first friends on LJ, and that is a bond to be taken seriously! :D Remember that story about the dogs? It was the best story ever. And about your daughter's budding lesbianism? No, that was the best story ever. In any case, I am lucky to know you, and hope you have a super day!

This is old news, but I haven't mentioned it -- Arrested Development got signed on for a third season! Beg, borrow, or steal someone's DVDs of S1 and S2 (when it comes out). You will not regret it.

Hmm, an LJ permanent account. I'm just not sure about it. I mean, $150 isn't bad for a permanent account status, considering it already costs $25/year for a paid account. But that means it would take six years just to get it 'paid off,' and who the hell knows what will be going on in six years? Will we even be using LJ? Won't someone invent something even cooler by then? After all, the move from mailing lists to blogs only took a few years.

I've made a deal with Jade. She got asked by someone in RL about IYOK at dinner last night. And of course, the culprit for the next chapter not being done is not her, but me. So I've said that I will work on IYOK for an hour every day ... but I need an incentive for doing this. Something I can either do for myself, or get myself, or something. You know, something to reward myself with at the end of it all. Jade mumbled something about "not being able to read D/G" until it was done. I was like, no way. I'm out. Finito. But then she was like, "Not D/G! DV!" And that's slightly different. That would be a pretty good incentive, because of course I want to read more DV (assuming there's more to read). But I'm thinking that my 'reward' shouldn't be about depriving myself of something and then getting it again -- not very motivational -- it should be more reward-like. Problem is, I don't really deprive myself of much. So I don't know. Any ideas?

I've named my iPod "Tiffany," since that was one of the names my mom considered for me. I now bestow it upon my MP3 player. Here are some random facts about Tiffany:
1) She really likes "Square Dance" by Eminem. I know this because it inevitably turns up when I'm using her in shuffle mode.
2) The music game is the Best. Thing. EVAR. My best score so far (I always stop myself at 100, because as far as I can tell, it will go on indefinitely if you don't stop it) is 96/100, 44,700 points. Not bad for having nearly 3,000 songs to choose from.
3) It is soooo neat to be able to go from Linkin Park to a suite from "Spirited Away" to something from BtVS: OMWF. It's like the best radio station ever.

I've started a Tauren Druid on Llane named Aeiryss. At least, I think that's how it's spelt ... but I don't mind it being a bit tricky. It just means that someone has to REALLY want to bother me in order to whisper to me about something. (This is why Sarea always got pinged instead of Vatrixsta when we were together. :-l)
She's lvl 8 right now, and I can't wait to level more, because right now this char is driving me nuts. She's got mediocre powers in everything, but isn't really good at any one thing. Her healing, at least at this level, is nowhere near as good as the priest's, so I always end up healing myself too late. And then her attacks take up so much mana, but I can't actually kill an enemy using the whole of her mana pool, like the mage can (in fact, the mage can probably kill two or more with her mana pool)! Which means I'm always out of mana, yet I can't just conjure water like the mage. Then her melee skills aren't such that they're a good substitute for her magic attacks. So yeah, I've found it kind of frustrating so far. But from having seen Jade in action, I know it improves in the higher lvls. I just want to get there already.
