Seeing the "Recent Entry 47 weeks ago" post has gotten old.
I never say anything.. just lurking for lurkdoms sake....
If Lurking was actually a kingdom I'd probably be a fief possibly a duke.
The duke of lurk?!?
Or would that be duchess?
Hmmm I should never attempt to write lj entries while suffering from sleep deprivation.... Ever.

School has been out for a week and I can finally get back to live journal. Although I never say anything on here but random comments I think its still kind of weird to drop off the face of the site for 5 months. Oh well.... This is the first entry in how many months??? It's a terrible shame really.

Today... no. tomorrow...No soon... yeah soon!

2007-01-10T17:46:07Z

As soon as I stop being lazy I 'm going to get around to actually fixing this livejournal up. I haven't in the erm 6 or so months I've been here, but I will..... Eventually... most likely... Er..

Ask my boss for a sexymermaid.
Be nicer to nwhepcat.
Backup my lit_gal regularly.
Eat more ladycat777s.

Hmmmm.... no comment

Long time gone...

Ack its been forever sense I've been on livejournal. Not that I actually right "entries" but I'm generally lurking about obsessively hitting refresh and popping up with the odd comments here and there. But my stupid computer has been going back and forth to Compaq for almost a month so I'm waaaayyyy out of the loop. But at least I have loads of backed up stories to read. That is a perk....

Strides and such

2006-06-19T22:12:17Z

Yay I completed my first story rec. I did it for jans_intentions's Spawn story Forbidden at the Rerun Awards.

It has me wanting to kick Xander's ass and thats a new experiance for me. I never want to kick Xander' ass. More like rub....or manybe even spank....but kicking?? NEVER!

Oh and I've come to the conclusion that reading BTVS slash has finally warped my mind. The reason I now realize this is because yesterday when I was watching Buffy (on FX of course) and Dracula made Xander one of his minions I went off on these weird snicker like tantrums every time the he would say "Master" *shakes head ashamedly*. The shame.... ehh I've been cutting dowen on the BDSM stuff anyway so my sanity may still be intact...maybe. But my foray into Buffy slash has now officially gone up there with my obsession with Harry Potter and Boyband Slash. Thank GOD Smallville never managed to get that far, I'd never be able to watch Sorority Boys again.

Ohhhh did you notice my little LJ cuts? I'm learning...its not hard... I'm just too lazy to take the effort.

ehem

Yeah I have no idea how to work livejournal. I'm starting to feel my around but as of right now the only real features I know how to work are the friends page thing. And I'm probably doing that wrong too.Sad I know. But hey I have 2 other perfectly respectable blogs that took forever to learn how to decipher, but I did and now I'm a myspacing xanga having queen *smiles brightly* so I'll get around to taming this beastie too. Seeing as how I never write squat, of the fiction variety I mean, I'll prolly turn this into a rec page. Where I can find all the stories of everybody who actually posts. Would save me loads of scanning and back tracking and what have you Ahh summertime goals.... Now the hard part is figuring out how to do that. ehhh welll....

Hiya......

2006-05-24T03:44:44Z

Wow hmmm so now I have 3 blogs. There probably should be a limit for these things but eh *waves madly*. Kay more later.
