that's poetic...that's pathetic

So, I went down to the cafe to get dinner because I really don't feel like sitting in the dining hall eating barely-recognizable whatever. And while there I got into a conversation with the guy making my food about, among other things, the straight-edge movement.

I realize this doesn't sound like a big deal. But, um. This is not something I do. I do not have in-depth conversations with people I don't know. I only rarely have in-depth conversations with people I do know. The fact that I don't really know a lot of people who would be interested in talking about the straight-edge movement is irrelevant, because the subject could have been anything that required actual interaction and discussion and I don't do that with people I don't know. I get nervous and nod and smile a lot and mentally plot my escape, because I'm shy and socially awkward.

So, um, I'm not sure whether you should be congratulating me or wondering who possessed me for the duration of this conversation, but there it is, I am still trying to figure out how that happened.


In other news, Dirty Sexy Money may be a new addition to my list of OMGFANDOMS. I think I have to see a few more episodes to decide whether I'm addicted or not. And who my favorite characters will be, although Jeremy has pulled to an early lead. And, well, I'm digging on Juliet more than a bit, too. Are people making icons or writing fic yet? That may help me decide. In any case. Definitely sticking around for a while longer.

The Sweet Charity auction is officially over for this round. I won a fic ho and a jewelry ho and have just remembered that I have to go e-mail them. Oops. Also, our very own trascendenza won my vidding services. :D :D :D Yay! I promise to do my very best to make you an utterly brilliant vid and have fun doing it.

The xkcd meetup made the news. Twice.


And in other, other news: I MISS MY NIKI and she needs to come to Massachusetts RIGHT NOW, plzkthnx. :( She can even bring The Boy if she must. I just neeeeeeeeeed to see her.


ETA: Also, OMG musical theatre fandom wank! *flail*
