seperis | my life, is it sunny and filled with snowflakes

I'm having some kind of creepy evening of euphoria right now. No, it is not chemically induced, but it is weird. I keep having vague urges to hug people and tell them they are wonderful. I'm mulling a rant I've wanted to do for a while to vent out some feelings, but for the life of me, I've completely forgotten what it was about. But I'm sure I felt very strongly about it.

Me Me Me

Grades were posted and I got my A in C++. Let me just say this: WHEEEE. I cuddle it and feed it brownies. But I--now that I know this part--really want to know what I got on the last lab and the two tests. I still have no idea what to do when I report to the new job, but I assume that showing up and looking hopeful will do the trick. I'm currently amused by my bosses, who spent quality time going over my MO ("You'll be quiet and stealthy," my boss said, deadpan. "They will think you are nice." "And then one day they'll wake up and realize they've given me awesome cosmic powers to all the programs and can do nothing to stop me," I answered. My boss: "Think they'll give you a committee to run?" Me: "Please don't warn them about that.")

Current Board and Committee Members

OTW Open Chat Information

I'll quote from the entry briefly:

Next week on Thursday, December 27th will be our first OTW Group Chat. We will be using Campfire, which can host up to 25 people in a room. At least one member of the board and one member of ComRel (Community Relations) will be in there to answer questions, talk about what we've done so far, things we're working on, things we need help with, etc.

We'd have more OTW committee/board representation but we don't want to take up the room for everyone else to chat. We'd have it on IRC, but...well, if you've ever been in a room with more than 20 people, you know that things can tend to get pretty crazy and blinding.

For those who attend; we look forward to reports! Yes, I know there will be a transcript available, but anyone non-OTW who feels like doing a read-friendly version, please link me if you do!

I have come to realize that shopping with a boycott of media for the Writer's Guild strike is--really terrifying. DVDs are like, the *staple* of my gift giving here. Do they want a shirt/tie/book/random trinket is solved when you can skip all that and hit the DVD section. I keep staring at it longingly from across the store and feelign a vague urge to write to the producers long, long emails with randomly mislabeled links to wherever goatse currently resides.

I have a dark side, I admit it. It gets darker the longer I am denied Battlestar Galactica season two.

ETA: WHEE GOLD STAR! THANK YOU!

(Yes. I am someone who does the glee laugh when seeing the lj gifts. They are just. So. Cute!)

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

Rule 3. Chemistry is kind of like bondage. Some people like it, some people like reading about or watching other people doing it, and a large number of people's reaction to actually doing the serious stuff is to recoil in horror.

Skin someone alive in fic, blame the AMPTP. You know you want to.

I DO NOT SKIN PEOPLE ALIVE. DESTROY SOULS = YES. SKINNING != YES.

I feel your use of the '!' to signify the negative merely proves that you will. You will.

I'll settle for John and Rodney overthrow Earth. *innocent*

...didn't I do that already?

*thoughtful* I don't think so-- at least-- not the way I'm thinking of.

...I'm sort of in a Tom Clancy place. You know, OMG BOMB! OMG LEADERSHIP DEAD! OMG YOU BE LEADER!

John: OMG NO! I WILL BLOW STUFF UP THAT'S IT!

Rodney: OMG I AM NOT VP! I AM NOT EVEN AMERICAN! ALSO IT'S SUCH A HOLLOW JOB!

Caps make everything sound more reasonable *wide eyes*.

They really do.

*eyes*

*eyes back*

*with raised eyebrow, right*

*eyebrows with waggles*
