Sleepless in Scotland

Looks like the kerfuffle ought to be winding down soon, hopefully. I know people are still gonna be pissed at LJ/6A for a while at least, but it looks like I won't have to leave LJ to keep up with fandom, which, thank god. I have my entire adult life documented in this journal, folks, not to mention my permanent account, and I dun like changes. I tried leaving LJ for nine months, once, and I'm not doing that again. Although anatsuno brought up a good point about the centralisation, and I'm going to be thinking about decentralising a bit, probably. Whatever that'll mean for me, of course. And that's the most substantial thing I'm going to say about the situation, because other people are better at that sort of thing, and I tend to hide from kerfuffles a lot, especially when stressed. *goes back into cave to go draw cave art pr0n*

In completely unrelated news: food post! And speaking of food, best bento ever, holy crap!

Also, I need some help with Outlook Express. (Don't look at me like that, they make us use it at work, boo.) I have several shared mailboxes I need to keep an eye on. Unfortunately, the automatic send/receive thing keeps hanging on the shared boxes, and then not telling me about it, so I have to keep remembering to go cancel it and check manually, which means I often don't get e-mails to my own inbox until an hour after they were sent. Is there any way to disable automatic send/receive for the shared boxes?

Three days of hiding from the world because of a stomach bug = NOT A FUN WAY TO SPEND A WEEKEND, KTHX! Stupid body. *pouts*

On the upside, I have now seen the OotP trailer, and can I just say: "OMG TWINS TWINS TWINS BWEEEEE EVERYTHING SO SHINY!" :D I'm slightly disappointed that my boy Lee doesn't seem to be cast for the movie, and pouty about him not even getting into the DA scenes, apparently, but I've learned to live with this disappointment. SHINY! TWINS! BWEE!

This is going to be the BEST SUMMER EVER! \o/ I'm seriously considering taking the week post-DH off so I can bask in the inevitable IMPLOSION OF WANK that's going to go down. I'm a sad, pathetic person with no life, I realise this, but I don't care. The fandom is going to SHIT ITSELF and I want to sit and mock and squee about the book and WHEEE!

... Damn, I need a new HP icon! This one is, like, five years old. o_O (And yes, that's a hint. :D )

Also, in addition to the whole "Bah, stomach" thing, I woke up on Saturday morning with a huge bruise on one of the knuckles of my left hand. I really hope that's just from banging into the wall while asleep, because the only other explanation is that I've been sleepwalking and, er, sleepfistfighting? Um.

…

Bitch, are you for real?

That's right, folks, consider this the Official Crystalwank One Year Anniversary Post. Go nuts. Or something.

Escapade Countdown: 13 days

First and foremost: Everybody's Free (To get A LiveJournal). Brilliant stuff.

And on a similar note, I've no idea what the recent popslash kerfuffle is all about, except that it involves the book incident and something about it has now actually reached Belgian news. So let me go on record as saying I'd really rather not know, all right?

And yes, spammers, that goes for you, too. I've no desire to see Janet's boob.

In other news, according to the poll, my Creepy Het OTP gets no love except from sivan (thank you, sweetie!), and Celeborn and Galadriel are just one vote short of a three-way tie with Legolas and Gimli and the Twins.

Since I've the final word in this, the AlphaSmart shall henceforth be known as Gimli. Here's hoping I won't have to wait too long for a new computer to give Gimli his Legolas. although, as I believe ruby_fruit pointed out, this name will probably result in my computer pointing out the obvious a lot. ("It looks like you're trying to write a letter." "No shit, Sherlock?")
