Thanks guys! Rocket, that sounds daaaaangerous... and awesome.

D'awwwww!

Happy Birthday! Today is a great day to have a birthday.

Thanks everybody! Today I have received many lovely birthday messages, crafted some stuff, drunk some wine, eaten some steak, eaten some chocolate cake, watched some House of Cards, and many other lovely things. I must remember to turn 28 within the next 2 and 1/2 hours, and then the day will be ent...

Just nobody tell my mom.

SO awesome.

This thread makes me so very happy. http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss308/_Tal_/happy-smug-sloth_zpse114ffac.jpg http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss308/_Tal_/happy-elephant_zpsa34ad88c.jpg http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss308/_Tal_/happy-smiling-puffer-fish_zps2222dd47.jpg

Puns! Wheee!

I totally took a picture for this and forgot to post it! May I post it now? May I?

Going to anyway.

I'm willing to try to help with this.

I'm not sure who this is by (I found it here: http://tallulahlucy.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/the-greatest-gift/ ), but I find it utterly adorable and awesome. It's titled "The reason to sleep with a teddy bear." http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss308/_Tal_/the-reason-to-sleep-with-a-teddy-...

I asked Sean about one-arm because so many people complained about it, he told me that it's all canon, just not from the Hobbit but from other stories. True, with one adjustment. Azog (his actual name) does exist in the original world of The Hobbit, and he did what your spoiler tagged sentences sai...

Let me just say that if this is what's been holding up me getting my Desert Bus stuff, then it's worth it. :D (Kidding. I know it's not. :D) LOL. It's totally not, but it's way more cool and interesting than the real reasons. Let's just pretend, shall we? ;D Does anyone else wonder if they all talk...

Thanks everyone! I have been quite endlessly amused and delighted by so many of us getting engaged practically at once. I feel like I'm part of an episode of Friends - who knew that ever happened in real life? :D Outside of Vegas, I mean. From what I know, all three couples have been discussing thin...

Information that hopefully will be helpful: We had nearly 30% more stuff this year than last year, and we had a LOT of stuff last year. Because of the way we structured some things this year, it also took longer for our shippers to get the information they needed to get many of the items sent. Which...

While we all obviously love it, Desert Bus is certainly not for everyone, and that's ok. We've found ourselves that it's hard to explain to people. A lot of times it seems to be one of those things people just need to see/experience for themselves, and then they'll decide whether or not it's somethi...

Now now y'all, it's not a contest. :) And not only are people's paycheques different, so are their living expenses and budgets. You are all fantastic and it absolutely blows us away how generous you and all the viewers are with the various amounts of disposable income you may or may not have, with y...

I'll spoiler tag some of my post just in case, even though I'm not going to say anything really specific. I'm learning that people's opinions on what constitutes spoilers for this movie vary widely. I'm considering writing a blog post about my thoughts on this. I was, overall, not impressed with wha...

I read this as "I need to do some t-shirt modding!"

Awwwwwwwwwww!!!!

No word of a lie, she gave me a print out list of "Things Mimm should/could do while in Canada". Saint. Today I explored the local area (read: got lost), tried out the bus system (read: got lost again) and had a wander round Uvic and downtown. Downtown I got some frickin immense spicy noo...

And by "I'll investigate" I meant "Fugi will arrive to answer questions and explain work arounds for mysterious internet problems I cannot fathom." Thanks Fugi! Kyrie, glad you got the banner one way or another.

Tally, what happened to the other shaped banners (e.g., vertical, square)? I was planning on putting one of the square banners on my blog, because the horizontal ribbon ones won't fit as well. They were on the page earlier, but now they've disappeared. I can see them there, at the bottom of the &qu...

I actually have a degree in creative writing. On the one hand, I'd say don't get such a thing, as it's useless for getting work. On the other hand, the specifics of one's BA matter very little, as most BAs won't help you get anything more than entry-level work, so it's not until going back for furth...
