They want the hand of Omega!

So at noon today I was startled by Mom banging on the door. She had apparently e-mailed me twice saying she was coming to pick me up (which I didn't get), and had been calling up with no reply for twenty minutes. So I am now under orders to get my phone working soonest. bleargh.

On the other hand, once I got home I was delivered with my first disgustingly large scholarship check. And two framed HP:SS movie preview posters which they'd bought that morning on the cheap. And I hauled back to school a bunch more reading material and some homemade cookies. The entire living room was full of old records that Mary-from-quilting had given Mom to give to my uncle who collects them, so I spent an hour looking through them. The most interesting ones were the set of "Music to Strip By" lps. Yeah, I can see Mary doing that. :) Also, I promised Mom I'd go to church tomorrow and see what it's like. So that was fun.

I am now going to have to a) deposit 900 dollars in my checking account, and b) set up an amazon.com account so I can buy my beekeeping text. I fear that once the amazon account is up, the 900 dollars will disappear quickly. Now for a test of my willpower . . .

Have added bunches of people to my flist. *hands out complimentary strawberry malteds to [livejournal.com profile] acadine, [livejournal.com profile] amanuensis1, [livejournal.com profile] anna_maria, [livejournal.com profile] eilanhp, [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo, [livejournal.com profile] loupnoir, [livejournal.com profile] persephone_kore, [livejournal.com profile] thistle_chaser, [livejournal.com profile] webbapettigrew and [livejournal.com profile] witegots* If any of you drop by and want to know why or be taken off, comment and I will obey. It probably means I've seen you around and like reading what you write. Or that I just wanted to round out an even 10. ( ;

Howdy!

*eyes userinfo* You go to College Park, too? w00t!

(Well, technically, I'm taking the semester off because I finally have a job again, but.)

You live on campus?

Yep. I live in the Writers' House, actually-- Dorchester Hall.

Yay College Park!

Oh, nifty. ;) I live off-campus, in a condo near University and Georgia, basically. So, I'm about five minutes away when University is being at all reasonable.

(Which it never is, but hey.)

[livejournal.com profile] diamond_dust06 goes to CP, too. Small fandom.

Yes, I had noticed! It gives me warm, squidlysquishy feelings.

I haven't been writing them much lately, because the challenges have been too vague to inspire me greatly, and the sheer numbers are intimidating.

Plus, I scared myself when I compiled them all for my website and realized I'd somehow written more than forty. XP
