The Negotiation Limerick File

There's a friendzy going on over at solteronita's place, check it out if you're looking for more LJ buddies.

No sooner did I express joy over the lack of heat, then a heat wave showed up and parked its sweaty ass on top of my state. Boo.

I just "accidentally" bought this corset! It was on sale for $47 and I thought, I don't really need it - then I found a $10 off coupon code (mustoff10 if you're curious) so with shipping it was $45. I have a couple of their corsets and they are pretty darn good. And yay for the length (I have a longer torso).

Turns out I've had this Livejournal for ten years this month. Wow.

ZOMG! You guys, I made Quote of the Week over at The Comics Curmudgeon!

Hamlet as played out on Facebook.

Fake AP Stylebook (Twitter feed). Recent gems - "The passive voice should be avoided by you." "Alcatraz Prison should never be referred to by the colloquial name 'the Rock.' Instead, refer to it by the more formal "Dwayne Johnson."

I'm writing my PostModern paper about LiveJournal. Therefore it is ok that I keep checking my Friends list as now that qualifies as research.

I did a "find random LJ users" search and the first journal it pulled up belonged to someone who was into Journey - Steve Perry slash. Again, I'm not one to judge, but - hasn't that ship sailed years ago? Are they even still alive? (I Googled it - yes, at least Perry is still kicking around.) At least if she were into Loverboy she could devote paragraphs to describing their tight leather pants. I remember seeing Loverboy videos and noticing that it seemed like the band only owned one pair of leather pants in each color. One video the guy with the curly hair was wearing the red pants and the lead singer had on the black ones...then in another video they seemed to have swapped pants. And, no, I don't want to think about the leather-pants-swapping escapades of Loverboy, thankyouverymuch.

I also remember watching Journey videos and wondering why Steve Perry never seemed to wash his hair. I mainly wanted to see a Duran Duran video, so when I watched MTV I had to spend the time criticizing the other bands.

I was starting to feel sorry for myself 'cause no-one was commenting on my entries - and then shipbrook said that my posts weren't showing up on his Friends list. ??? I think it has something to do with my recent "Friends Only" banner and having to backdate entries. If anyone has any experience with that sort of thing, let me know if there's something crucial I'm missing. Oh, and if you're really into my end of semester paper-writing whining, check out my journal.

Meanwhile...

I made this joke after we saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night, shipbrook made the comic. We make a good team.

Why did my LJ layout and color change?

I've updated my Live Journal icons page. Everything from Stargate SG1 to the classic movie Sixteen Candles to Colonel Klink. Here's a small sample -
