Because either something's wrong with my internet browser (unlikely), or there has not been a single post there in the three-plus hours since I closed this topic. This is most unusual in my experience.
My day (day being defined as a 24-hour period extending from 12:00 ante-meridian to 11:59 post-meridian GMT -08:00 (PST)) so far:
I finished reading a book by Stephenie Meyer that was not a complete affront to God and Man. There were still some unsavory bits (because, you know, lying about your age is totally okay when you're in lurrrve!), but it was better than Twilight (as advertised), raised some interesting points to think about, and helped influence the really long and complicated (read:
As is usual, I was invited to and attended the annual birthday party for a young lady of our acquaintance.
As is usual, I danced with a lot of girls and now have very sore legs and feet as a result.
As is usual, I had an excellent time with my friends especially and other people in general.
As is unusual, but very happiful, I danced rather a lot with a certain lovely lady and also talked with a British accent most of the night for some reason. Indeed, I am happiful. Yay!

Totally needs to be made if it hasn't been already. Maybe I'll do that. Yeah.
In other news, I would totally change my name to Miaulements if I could.
Then I would totally stop overusing the word 'totally.'
Today I was a perfect consumerist heathen and bought most of the sets I want to get from the first 2010 wave: Tahu, Gresh, and Skrall Stars, Chromastone, Smash'n'Grab (yay Squidtron), and Wreck Raider. I look forward to using the new and funky pieces in the first four particularly. I bought Construct-a-Buzz, Guardian of the Deep, and Fire Blaster, which is oddly named because it blasts water, earlier, so I just want to get Woody and Buzz to the Rescue and my acquisitions shall be complete until
To go with me for Halloween this year. Since I'll be at least halfway across the country, I will need to make some new ones, but the basic principle remains: Our Halloween costumes will be these:
Oh yeah. B)
So. 2010. Nice man. Good with kids.
Thinking back, it's amazing and a bit frightening to contemplate how much I've changed over the past year, as well as how many changes still await me. This year I'll be flying on airplanes by myself, going to college, and generally becoming more independent than I have been so far. Even moreso than usual, I'm feeling particularly cautiously optimistic and happy about everything, which is all jolly good. So here I sit, listening to Boston's Peace of Mind and
Which is sad, because I finally made an Astral Bunny Orb for him:
...And then put it on a body for my own intents and purposes. >:3
Please excuse the subpar photography; I was a bit rushed with all this. This right here isn't even all of it.

Come aboard, if you think you're hard enough. Alliance members and bounty hunters need not apply, on account of Vera being liable not to take a liking to you.
Add merriment to taste.
I just got home from Mass by way of a 2.5-hour detour at some friends' house and I am going to be sooo out of it tomorrow, haha. But it was very fun anyway so yay! My Christmas is off to a good start.
Let the Airing of Grievances begin! I have collected twenty-three of them, since Festivus is the 23rd.
It grieves me that:
1. It will be a very long time, if ever, until I shall again be able to see the nice pretty girl who worked with me at the pool last night and with whom I hit it off rather well.
2. There is a complete lack of snow here such as to cause one to shake his fist at the world, roll over, and go back to sleep, as I did this morning.
3. People take unserious things seriously
Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind...yeah!
Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't ya see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a d
Possibly setting the record for the longest one of my creations has gone between being finished and being posted...
In other news, Dr. Horrible songs have been gently wafting through my head for the last three days.
Did you know that a series of short plays can be written, produced, and performed within one week? Neither did I, until last week. Three of the students in a recent college production were invited to this scholarship competition (or something) in Reno next February, which of course costs money, so somebody got the idea to do a fundraiser for them and I got sucked in by virtue of my association with the theater crowd there.
It wasn't the greatest assemblage, but someone's dad had a great monol
