It's Friday!!!!

Today's Mommy's birthday! I forgot to send a card (geez) so I called her this morning. I said "Happy Birthday, Mommy!" and she said "Oh, it is! I hadn't thought about it." So I guess I don't feel to bad about that card thing. We're not a real Birthday Family like [livejournal.com profile] alt_rorschach's.

Speaking of [livejournal.com profile] alt_rorschach, I thought of [livejournal.com profile] alt_rorschach especially when I saw this: The Periodic Table of Cleaning Elements. Well, first I thought "I need to call [livejournal.com profile] 0verdrive's mom to schedule a cleaner to come over." Then I thought of [livejournal.com profile] alt_rorschach.

I made some spiff new icons for myself yesterday (they're the bottom 13 on that page). I'm up to 61 now.

1. If you had all the money in the world and could choose to own anything, what you would get and why? I would choose to own control over what I do with my time and not have to go to a 40-hour-a-week job to pay the bills.
2. If you were to do something that scares you, what would it be? Lots of things scare me and I do them all the time. Like when I went swimming in the Lake of the Ozarks with [livejournal.com profile] 0verdrive even though I am terrified of deep water.
3. What was your first pet? A beagle girl named Bonnie.
4. What's the farthest you've traveled? Italy.
5. If you were a season, which one would you be and why? Summer. Because I love it. I love heat, sunshine, green growing things and long days.
Extra one: If you were a song, which one would you be and why? Hm. No clue. That's too dependent on mood.

1. What's the last item you mailed? Um, my electric bill?
2. Who has made you smile recently? Going out last night and seeing friends at Replay.
3. What's the weather like outside? Cold. Clear.
4. Do you consider youself a good judge of character? I'm hit and miss.
5. What's your favorite photograph? I have so few favorite *anythings*. Why is "what's your favorite" such a popular question? I have a favorite color, but even the tones of that color run a wide range. I don't have a favorite movie, favorite book, favorite outfit, favorite meal, favorite actor, favorite T.V. show, favorite smell, favorite relative, etc. Do most people have favorites of all sorts of things and I'm just abnormal in this regard?


Crap I forgot I put on makeup today and just rubbed my eye...

EDIT: Today's Penny Arcade is really good. Geeks, take heart.

The "comma sutra" = GREAT STUFF. Love it with my whole damn heart.

*happy sigh*

Feel free to yank. I pulled it off someone's post from [livejournal.com profile] userpicks.

Fantastic! Just did - thank you!

No, you are clearly not abnormal in this regard. But today, right now...if you were song...what would you be?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm! Good idea. Ok, with that condition, hm. I'll say today I'm Chiquitita (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abba/2978.html) for a friend of mine who's having a difficult time right now.

LOL, that would be one of two, possibly three, reasons I don't wear makeup very often anymore.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
On the other hand, if I get used to wearing makeup, it will cut *way* down on me touching my face. A good thing during flu season!

I really loved the table of cleaning elements,
thanks for the linky.

Comma Sutra= much love. Totally swiping it.

Azucena nobodice= OMG hott!! I'm just saying!
*wipes drool*

*g*

Thanks. It was a lovely moment. I'm glad someone got a photo of it.

[identity profile] solan-t.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The whole photo is even better.

[identity profile] apocalypticbob.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to see that...

BTW, I'm laughing like an idiot at your Luke/Obi-Wan icon!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] everflame took the photo, but I don't know if she has her photos available to the public or if it's locked to friends only...

[identity profile] apocalypticbob.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
She has about 30 photos available to the public...all beautiful, but unfortunately that one was not amongst them.

Perhaps if I beg, she will post a little linky?

Please????

(Completely unrelated, but my son makes the puss face when he begs for something...sometimes I let him get away with it, sometimes I don't.)

Can't help with the pic, as CR pointed out, but as for the icon, is it not the greatest? Gankable, with credit. (hover the cursor over it for the credit)

SO noted...So swiped!

Genius

Your icon just broke my brain.

There are such delightful things to find on [livejournal.com profile] userpicks, many swipeable.

Cleaning

I so need that!

(Somebody to come and clean my house, not the chart)

Loving the Chart

I don't think they come to San Diego - but hey, maybe they would. It's very nice weather here.

I love charts of all kinds. As someone who plans finances 5 years out in excell and tracks weekly chores in the same manner - the Table is wonderful. I could put it in my calander with reminders for the annual items. Hmmm. Although I think Rorschach will not be so please since he's the other half of our cleaning crew here.
