Super Paranoid, like a sixth sense

[apple_pathways]

Holy shit, I totally thought I was hearing voices until I realized that, though I'd reached the end of one album and hadn't yet started another, I had a window open on my browser with an ad that was playing and...yeah, I was hearing voices. But EXTERNAL voices, so...yeah, good to know! :P

You know what I love? CLEARANCE SALES!♥ I picked up a whole pile of crap at Borders for about six bucks, and it was awesome! Nothing like paying a dollar for a "Cats in Hats" calendar to make you feel like a million bucks! (Could've done without the alternately chipper/snotty attitude of the cashier, though. Don't look at me like I'm scum because I don't want to buy your crappy coffee so you can donate approximately 1% of the money to soldiers overseas, and I'm sorry, but the pointed way you thanked everyone before me "for their business" and then announced my total came to "just" $5.87 and you got all pissy about giving me a bag...*deep breath* Yeah, that shit's not getting your ass out of Chapter 11.)

(Sorry. Apparently I am In A Mood. Perhaps it's time for a drink. Hey, it's Friday somewhere...TGIF!)

(Also: I need to get shit done. Why can't I write lately, why???)

LOL! That happened to me the other day. I'd left my ipod playing on the coffee table with the ear phones in. It took me ages to pinpoint exactly where the sound was coming from!

GET SHIT DONE! <3

SO EERIE! Man, I have a tenuous enough grip on sanity as it is...

I WILL TRY! I had some peanut butter Girl Scout cookies, and now I feel better.

How is your Epic Fic of Fantastic going?

[planejane.livejournal.com]

If you're talking about the KMM fill - FANTASTIC. I like how this one's going. \o/ Thanks, BB.

Uh, that's such a great place to be in: where you like what you're writing and are excited to get to it! Link me when it's done so I can read!

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

Someone's been to Borders! :D

I have done this! LOL! Hearing voices is sort of a theme in my life.

Get online tonight! I have to write too! I am going to try to finish either my third Christmas fic or 3500 word Mince Spies entry. YES?! We can keep each other company.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

YES! Let's do this!

I only have, I dunno...about 2,900 words to go on my Mince Spies?? So yeah...

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

I have no words for my Mince Spies but I have ideas... :P That I hope will work. Are you available in an hour... 10:33 pm your time? I will read yours if you will read mine. And if we get stuck we can send each other pick-me-up and get shit done now ass-kicking IMs.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

*takes deep breath*

Yes, I can do this. I have an almost-idea for my story: which is to say, I have characters and a vague inkling of a few things they might do.

Can we make it 10:34? :P

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

LOL! Sure... and hey writing brain twin... that sounds as thought out as my idea. :D

I do that more than is fully reasonable, so… well, I'd say you're in good company, but I'd misplace my personality if it wasn't so obnoxiously persistent. XD

CLEARANCE SALES~ Although I'm kind of sad about Borders going away, primarily because they're the only bookstore I can actually walk to. And because they were a really nice place to bum around between meals downtown…

As a cashier at a bookstore, I could say a lot of things in that individual's defense, but I'm not going to, because that kind of passive-aggressiveness is not justified unless the customer personally treated you like shit first. :|

MORE DRINKING PLEASE.

I love Borders SO much! I have fond memories of them, too: I used to walk up to our Borders when I was a kid, and as a teenager my friends and I would hang out there on Saturday nights. (It's just as fun as partying and making out with boys, right?!)

However, I don't think I'm the kind of customer that will keep them in business, since I only occasionally stop by to pick through the bargain books!

[creativeaminot.livejournal.com]

Rofl, I've totally done that. I hate those advertisements.

I have been tempted to check out the Borders closing by me, but I fear the ticked off cashiers and workers. You are very brave.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

The volume was so low on the add, it was just this faint whispering I could hear in the background that was hardly louder than static...

This isn't one of the Borders that is closing, which I'm thankful for. (I love this store!) I just realized that I sound like a vulture swooping in to pick over the gutted remains of the establishment, but I swear to you, this was just the regular seasonal clearance I was talking about! (Though I have thought about making a trip to one of the stores that is closing. Only: I don't need to buy more books/spend more money!)

[ladylovelace.livejournal.com]

Advertisements like that get me all the time. It doesn't help that I have two browsers and two dozen tabs each open, either.

ALSO ::waves 'go get shit done' pompoms::

It doesn't help that I have two browsers and two dozen tabs each open, either.

That's exactly what my screen looks like--it took me a moment to even locate the tab that had the advertisement in it!

I did get shit done! Thanks to sabriel75 and her genius idea for a "Word Battle" write-in last night.

Really? I was at a Boarders Sunday and they practically rolled out the red carpet and offered to take my bags to the car. But it's a store that's not closing so they might be trying to do anything it takes to prove that to customers.

Have you finished thegameison_sh reading? I can't concentrate on it this round. Ran through them last month but this month I keep finding other things to do.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

This wasn't one of the Borders that is closing, either. The lady started off all, "HI NEW BEST FRIEND HOW ARE YOU!" and then pissy when I was only buying a few dollars worth of stuff.

I finished reading and voted last night, which is rare for me! It usually takes me the weekend to finish.
