An Unshaven Collection of Bad Habits Marinated in Alcohol

Today I turned 21! I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and they said their birthday specials were either a free sopapilla or a shot of tequila. Since I was there with my grandma I got the sopapilla and it was A++++ delicious. :D Sometime later this week when people aren't working/busy I'm going to make all my friends get drunk and watch "Spock's Brain" with me because I still haven't seen it yet and since it's my birthday I figure they will have to do what I say.

But otherwise it was a nice day, even though the drunken Trek-viewing didn't pan out. My parents gave me a nice 4 GB mp3 player and also, more importantly, gloss posted an amazing Shirley/Britta fic that you must read right now because I love it. :D

Also, unrelated to anything, I can't stop watching this:

It's even better than that "Kirk is a Womanizer" vid I couldn't stop watching a few months ago. *_*

Few Community things!

- agiantcookie is a new Troy/Abed comm on LJ! Nothing's really posted there yet so PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE TO CHANGE THAT. :D?
- community_tv is having a Shirley Fanworks Meme which is an idea so awesome that I may have just died and gone to heaven.

Yesterday night/this morning I went to a party/wake for my friend's Shih Tzu, Andy, AKA the Pirate Pooch. They called him that because he was so old towards the end there that he had only one eye, two snaggly-teeth, and he walked in a way that I can't really describe but that made me think that he should have been carrying a blunderbuss, if that makes any sense at all. At any rate, up until the end he wasn't in pain and was a really sweet, good-natured little guy, so hopefully somewhere he is happy, Pirate Pooch-ing it up like there's no tomorrow. ♥

(Unfortunately, this has made think about how my own dog is only a year younger than Andy was. Thankfully, I think Lily has made some sort of pact with Satan and is going to live for a long time, just to spite all her enemies. ♥Lily♥)

Yesterday I forgot what time my shift at Target was supposed to end, so I ended up staying 15 minutes later than I was supposed too. 15 MINUTES TOO LONG, amirite, but otoh a lolzy guy who was buying Star Trek on DVD came through my line and we bonded over our mutual fannishness of Karl Urban while I bagged his groceries. Dude's a big fan of Eomer, so that was all right. :D

(Also a big fan of Chronicles of Riddick, which is perhaps less okay but to each his own!)

This morning it was raining very hard, so I brought a towel along with me when I biked to the bus station because I had this elaborate plan set up to ensure that my pants didn't get wet, which ended up not working at all because it was too damn cold to roll up my pant cuffs but it wasn't raining that hard at the time anyway, but

ANYWAY my point in that boring little digression was that I had this towel with me! And I learned that not only can you wrap a towel around your head to save yourself from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, you apparently can also use it to wipe off your face when you start crying on the bus over the fact that you lost your wallet and are stranded at the Mall of America.

D:

So yeah, kind of a rough day but some things were less than shitty, at least. For instance, my inability to keep from crying in public while talking with my mom over the phone led to a guy giving me $10 for the bus. Lol pathetic, I know, but I don't care because guess who had enough money left over to buy lunch? \o/ Filling out this meme also seriously cheered me up. And I am assuming by "pairings," they actually meant "threesomes or foursomes or whatever."

( TOS: all pairings are OTP, but some are more OTP than others. )

( MST3K: surprisingly, the hardest one to choose from )

( Psych, or the only one I actually have a true OTP for )

That's it!

Have I been on a soul kick lately? Well, I've been listening to basically nothing but Sam Cooke during my convalescence. (I twisted my ankle while on a mission to buy tomatoes. Some of us suffer for our farm fresh produce let me tell you internet.) I'll even listen to him sing "This Little Light of Mine," which is a song I have long loathed because of how I associate it with being forced to go to church, wear uncomfortable shoes as a child, and act as Herod in the Nativity play.



(Oh hey, Bob! When you sing like that I cannot imagine why anyone would arrest you because they think you're a crazy hobo.)

Do I totally ship Sam Cooke/Bob Dylan? Uh, check out the video. They basically were in love with each other...MUSICALLY. >:D
