things this post makes: no sense

[gyzym]

Okay, internet, HI, HELLO, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY ABSENCE TODAY. I have emails I need to answer and comments full of awesome that I haven't replied to and I don't really have any defense for myself except for that I got. Er. I got...idea-fied, this thing, my brain, sometimes I get ideas and I fall in love and they eat me and I'm not talking about it because I'll jinx it but just, with the handwaving and the general insanity and the not having the focus for anything other than, you know. Meandering. Story. Things.

MY POINT BEING: SORRY, I SUCK, ALL OF THE THINGS, TOMORROW, I WILL DO THEM. Probably when I have less of a headache.

If you want assurance of the fact that I was completely out of it today, here are some things that happened, all of which make it clear that it is give-up-on-today time, which I will be doing promptly after I hit post:

1) Weeks ago sorrynotsorry (SUPREMELY AWESOME BEING THAT SHE IS) found and brought to me some hazelnut chocolate spread that didn't have dairy in it, because I am allergic to dairy and have thus missed out on Nutella my whole life, and my bitterness over that fact, it was deep, it was so deep. And I LOST IT, I LOST THE AWESOME PACKETS FULL OF GOODNESS BEFORE I COULD TRY THEM, and then today I found them again and, mid-paroxysms of glee over HOLY FUCK NUTELLA IS DELICIOUS, I tripped over my dog and fell. And landed. On the ground. With my face. In the piece of Nutella toast.

2) I absentmindedly started a tumblr that has no things in it because I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO USE TUMBLR, I don't even know how I ended up on the setup screen, I just kind of clicked some things, it was like highway blindness, and then I blinked and had a tumblr. Here is what I have done with it so far: stared at the "Maybe you should try posting something!" screen. Closed the tab.

3) Had a Danny Williams moment involving rage over the instructions "Tear here" on a tape dispenser to the point that I actually took a photo on my iPhone to post because WHAT IDIOT DOESN'T KNOW TO THAT YOU NEED TO TEAR TAPE, WHAT KIND OF DIRECTION EVEN IS THAT, made angry noises about it to everyone near me, and then realized that it was just the clear tape dispenser sitting on top of something else that said "tear here." Felt like an asshole.

4) SOMEHOW MANAGED TO FLING A BRA OUT OF MY LAUNDRY AND INTO A LARGE STACK OF PLASTIC CUPS, WHICH ARE NOW EVERYWHERE.

5) On finding a mysterious football diorama of unknown origin in the supply closet of the...law firm...where I work (DON'T ASK, IT'S A MYSTERY), and while overcome with various story ideas and too confused by the diorama's existence to actually engage my brain-to-mouth filter:

BossLady: What is that?
Me: I have no idea, what the hell.
BossLady: How did it get in here? Who would leave that here? Why would that be at a law firm?
Me: I think we should put a Post-It on it that says 42.
BossLady: ...why?
Me: Because obviously it's the answer to life, the universe, and everything, what else could it be?
BossLady: Was that supposed to make it clearer for me?
Me: MAYBE IT'S A VERY SMALL PORTAL TO NARNIA

*hugs*

Glad to hear you are not in actuality deceased! Although I am sorry to hear about headaches. Here, have a Danny;



He is concerned for your wellbeing.

[shiroi-ten.livejournal.com]

I have a v.v hard time focusing all the time. *nodnods*

AGH I DROP NOMMYFUL THINGS ALL THE TIME. Once I treated myself to a tiny kit-kat bar and promptly LOST HALF OF IT TO THE GRASS AND BACTERIA AND CLUMSY HANDS. This happens again when I eat...things I don't usually let myself eat.

>.> Don't feel so bad! When in need just make a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference and be glad your world isn't being destroyed! I WILL TRY ALL MY CLOSETS AND HOPEFULLY STUMBLE UPON NARNIA. Or a pretty boy who wants to pose for me. Or Arthur and Eames. Or lj. HAPPY PLACES YES?

42! *giggles like mad*

Enjoy your chocolate spread!

[iseame.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm sorry about your not-so-fantastical day. I feel for you on the headaches. I mean, I don't know if it's my eyes and I need a higher prescription or what...or maybe it's the lack of sleep.

And awesome conversation with your boss. I literally laughed out loud when you mentioned Narnia. XD

Also, I feel like such a slut because when I saw this SORRY, I SUCK, ALL OF THE THINGS, TOMORROW, I WILL DO THEM um. My mind, yes. It went to all the gutters of the entire universe. So sorry.

Well, I wrote this (http://iseame.livejournal.com/1215.html#cutid2) a couple days ago and it's not that long or anything, but fluff usually makes me feel better, so hopefully it can do that same for you? Sorry, bb, I'm afraid that's all I have to offer for now. XP

SORRY, I SUCK, ALL OF THE THINGS, TOMORROW, I WILL DO THEM

*sneeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrkkk* XDDDDDD CANNOT UNSEE!!

[iseame.livejournal.com]

You love it ;D

[fic-kitty.livejournal.com]

WHY DO YOU PUT THE SEX WORMS IN MY BRAAAIN

I used to be a good girl, I SWEAR ok that's a total lie.

But I used to be better at pretending :P

[iseame.livejournal.com]

I HEARD THAT IT'S A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. WHO AM I TO DENY YOU?

Yes, well. Fandom, bb. It has a way of getting the better of you. It can see through your pretending like Danny can see through Steve's Navy SEAL exterior to the fluffy teddy octopus that he is. XD

and then I blinked and had a tumblr.

IKR?! The same thing happened to me and then I was like ugh, this looks complicated, I'll bother with it later. Haven't been on tumblr since. Which is probably a good thing, as livejournal already eats hours of my days. I think tublr would be even worse, I'm pretty sure you can get LOST there.

I love your brian-to-mouth filter :D :D :D

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

*laughs at you... feels bad... laughs anyway* I wish you luck in being more of a successful human being tomorrow.

Regarding that 42 thing... god, don't you hate being surrounded by people that aren't nerds? Isn't it so distressing being unable to make references and actually be understood? I never know what to do with myself around normal people! D:

that! exactly. it's good to know i'm not the only one feeling this way. :D

[i-m-pk.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way. Whenever people say "hey, quick question" I used to answer "42" and then no one laughed and it made me sad :(

[atira7.livejournal.com]

I giggled so hard upon reading this post. Especially about 42 :)

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

i so ♥ your posts. my cat doesn't because i always laugh so loudly she gets alarmed and has to escape off the back of the couch. truefax

NUTELLA IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

The easiest way to start using a tumblr is to follow some friends and reblog the things they post that you like. It can be daunting with the tab across the top ("photo, quote, audio, video, etc."), but it's not too bad. Navigating can be a bitch at first. I can talk you through it sometime, if you like. It's easy enough once you get the hang of it. (My tumblr)

LOL @ tape dispenser

LOLOL! 42 for the win! xDD

[iam-space.livejournal.com]

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT TUMBLR (I FIRST TYPED RUMBLR... SPOOFY SPIN-OFF? RUMBLR IN MY TUMBLR? MAYBE TUMBLR NEEDS A NUDGE BUTTON AND IT COULD BE CALLED RUMBLR? IDEK.) IS A PORTAL TO HAPPY-MAKING HELL. I have thus far resisted its call.

Except for the endless TUMBLR-based Google searches. iCheatz.

Sorry you had kind of a crappy day. But, I mean, at least it was interesting enough to post about. ;)

[seeingrightly.livejournal.com]

I think I must be alone in the world in my disgust for nutella... -kanyeshrug-

I made a tumblr back in like August and literally all I did was sign up and go I DON'T GET IT and then I never touched it again. And then a combination of lj and rl friends who've been poking at me for months finally got me to make one a week or so ago and I actually use it a lot now that I (mostly) understand it (ish). It's good for procrastination! And pictures of hot people?

Laskdjaskldjasd I had a Danny moment while talking about how my public school system doesn't teach geography at all. I was ranting about how my friend thinks Boston and Canada are states and that Canada is located to the right of the US despite the fact that we (insert indignant bang of the palm on the floor) LIVE ON THE EAST MOTHERFUCKING COAST.

I hate when people don't get 42 jokes! It makes me sad.

[katkaminion.livejournal.com]

Oh funny, the same thing happened to me with Tumblr. I have tons of things posted, by now. The secret is, I think, don't think about it and just keep clicking things. Something is bound to happen. Good things, bad things, I have no idea. But they happen. I think this'll be how the world ends, someone finds Tumblr's "RESET WORLD" button accidentally and then everything goes D: and Tumblr blows the universe up and everything starts again.

DANNY RANTS FEEL GOOD. THEY ARE AWESOME. I DO THEM ALL THE TIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE WHY I LIKE DANNY SO MUCH. ICON MAY BE RELATED. MY TIE-KINK MAY BE SHOWING.

ALSO. 42. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. XD

[photoclerk.livejournal.com]

jizzy, I can't stop laughing! I had to go tell my friend at work about the football thing! I'm already running around quoting Eddie Izzard and Doctor Who today. Now I'm going to explain things as being 42 and a very small portal to narnia. I love you.

[sorrynotsorry.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA BUT I GOT YOU TWO PACKETS (I think)!!

HOW WAS IT?

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

!!! Please tell me what brand this non-dairy hazelnut chocolate spread is! I used to be able to eat it and now I can't, which is very SAD making.

[queenklu.livejournal.com]

MAYBE IT'S A VERY SMALL PORTAL TO NARNIA

MAYBE IT'S POSESSED

MAYBE IT'S A PORTKEY

MAYBE IT FELL THOUGH A RIFT IN SPACE/TIME

[sour-idealist.livejournal.com]

I am sorry you've had such an awful day! And, er, would hints on the Tumblr basics help?

[nigita.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!

Your Bosslady makes a great straight man.

*friends you*
