A Safe Space for Moogles

Good thing: there was the most adorable little yellow lab puppy at work yesterday and today. Sweetest and playfullest and lickiest thing on the planet, omg. *schmoops* I got pictures too, 'cause I'd brought my camera in to show off my baby birdies. ^_^ So you'll see her as a bonus on my next Baaaaby Robin Report.

Bad thing: the porn company sent me a polite rejection email. Ah well, at least they didn't leave me to twist in the wind.

( And a meme from deepbluesquee, because we squeep at each other. )

dragovianknight!!!!

I got your package today! Eeee! *is nice and warm and wears all three hats at once*

Thank youuuuu! :DDDD

Taking a break. Doing mockups kicks my ass, but I now have a shiny new package for a bullet vibe! :D Shall post pictures up later maybe, just because I'm giggling at myself for having gotten away with this. And for coming up with the company name 'Moongarden.' ^_^;;; ...one project down, three to go. *thud*

O HAY, while I'm here: it's pimpin' time! :DDDD Today's contestants are 80sficpicalooza and areyougame, challenge comms in the grand tradition of kinkfest but with more narrow focus. They're modded by the indomitable yohjideranged (of ffvii_100 fame). 80sficpicalooza is dedicated to 80s fandoms (moar Transformers fic, plzkthx!) and prompting starts in April; areyougame is for video game fandom and prompting starts June 1.

Jooooiiiin uuuuus. *tempt tempt*

(Speaking of tempting, words cannot express how much I heart these. Of course, I'd have to start wearing skirts if I wanted to wear them...)

In ascending order of "things that actually, y'know, affect other people."

Item 1: My professor pulled me aside today and essentially told me that my projects were crap and I'd have to redo them both. In retrospect, it shouldn't have been as big of a shock as it was. I'm grateful that I even have the chance to redo them, even if it means staying after class. Still, not a happy thing to be told. - She asked me if doing two majors was putting an unfair amount of pressure on me. I told her that it's a lot, that doesn't mean it's unfair. This is what I've decided to do. Even if it kills me.

Item 2: Our new masters, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to do away with the option to create Basic accounts. They call this "streamlining the setup process for new users." LJ users call it bullshit. I call it "really, really glad I followed dragovianknight to IJ, and wanting to tempt all my LJ friends over there with me." IJ does not have near enough Transformers fans, y'all. This needs to be fixed. Also, I should probably look into roleplay communities on IJ. ...Not that I'm giving up on LJ yet. They just own the servers; the real stuff - the content - that's ours.

Item 3: Oklahoma representative Sally Kern goes on an anti-gay tirade of epic proportions. Guys, when you listen to this, keep in mind between projectile-vomiting sessions that this is what they actually believe. And she's not just some crank bitching over the Internet - she's in a leadership position, speaking as a leader.

On the upside, today my new psychiatrist doubled my dosage of happy pills.

Changed both my layouts. LJ folks, that's the wingthing up on the right, the Baltimore skyline behind her, and the lyrics are from "Kite" by U2. IJ folks, the lyrics are from "The Body Electric" by Rush, and if you don't recognize who that character is I'll be very disappointed. ;)

Other than that, not a whole lot to report right now. We're just starting new projects in all my classes, the next big adventure on my agenda is Botcon, and I can't really make any plans for this summer yet. I'm just kind of waiting. It's a relief to have springkink over with, though - I definitely want to focus on my big projects for a while after this.

( Those projects, for my own reference. )

There's an advert for Crisis Core in this month's issue of EGM. I very nearly had an orgasm on the spot, and I don't even have any intention of owning a PSP. It's just. Zack. *paws at page*

It has occurred to me that I am ridiculous.

Speaking of, I really need to tempt some people over to ffvii_100 so that the Turks aren't winning by fifty million points every single damn weekend. I hadn't had any real bunnies spawn on me for this prompt, but it looks like I'm going to have to do one each for Avalanche and Soldier just so they're not shut out. *ties plushies on strings and dangles them* Heeeeere fangirl fangirl fangirl... >)
