In which socchan talks entirely too much

Just realized I hadn't made a RL post in a while. So I thought I'd (mostly) do that tonight ^_^

( Cut for Hang-out-with-Pat-and-Chris details )

And that is the story of how I spent entirely too much money on Wednesday ♥ Aren't you glad I told you?

Oh, Pat also said that a week ago was the first time that Iowa City had been hit by a tornado. Which is true for my lifetime at least (though that huge wind from '98 or something was called a sideways tornado and almost counts), though I have no way to check its accuracy. Last Thursday also disproves two tornado myths: that tornados don't strike large cities (we're the sixth largest city in the state) and that tornados don't cross rivers (which this/these one/s did). So! We do get tornados, but it happens very rarely to this city specifically.

Anyway, http://imreallysad.com/ Just check it out, you don't have to be sad. There are some awesome pictures in there :3

And now, the one non-RL thing in this post ^_^ Because I've been seeing it all over and thought it looked cool.

1) Make a list of 15 characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)

2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.

For example:

"4, 6, 12 & 15 are starting a band together, what is their name and what kind of music do they play? Also, who's the lead singer, and what instruments do the others play?"

3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the 15 characters you selected beforehand, and then post them.

Now ask me questions! :D

A quick PSA

Because I forgot to put it in the other post and felt like it was getting long enough already ^^;

Anyway, Dad got back from a union meeting a few hours ago. He says that the MediaCom worker's union might be striking sometime soon, and they might also ask for a boycot of MediaCom services. Since we get both our cable TV and internet through MediaCom, we might not be getting either for a while. So if I end up scarce on the internet, that'll be why. I'll probably take the time to check my mail and LJ at school regularly if this happens, but you probably won't see me on after five at best (except maybe Mondays) and I won't be chatting either. (Not that you see me chatting much anyway... ¬_¬) Still, it should help me be productive if it happens. Either that, or I'll be sitting around re-reading manga and re-watching anime. Whichever.

On a different note, I'm really starting to miss my old laser mouse :/ Why on earth did we get rid of it, anyway? Or is it actually still creeping around our house somewhere?

Oh, and my list of Best Things Ever has been updated slightly. It's now seventeen items long.
