Michael Rosenbaum's #1 Fangirl

This is the final.

Sun, 01 Sep 2002 21:16:52 GMT

Okay, it is September 1st, so this LJ is officially closed. You know where to find me.

Blah.

Wed, 28 Aug 2002 22:25:09 GMT

I am back in Chicagoland now - got in late last night. I am using my mom's computer and only have AIM, so if you want to talk to me for the time being, that's where I can be found.

Today was the interview. It was okay I guess. I was one of the first people they're interviewing, so I think the chances I'll get offered the job are slim to none.

I am very unhappy at the moment. A few years ago, I took out my right knee in what has become known as the Great Kareoke Incident. I had to have a brace on it and couldn't walk for a month. Because I didn't have medical insurance, I never had an MRI or anything more serious done than an X-ray. When I did have medical coverage again, I asked my doctor about looking into it further, but he said it wasn't necessary. Fast forward 4 years later to now.

My knee is hurting. A lot. It feels like it doesn't want to hold me when I stand and walk. It has been bothering me on and off for the past couple of days - I don't know if it's because of all the driving I've been doing or what. It feels like it's swollen and stiff. I am incredibly afraid. If it goes out completely...I'm just screwed. I want to cry. I'm that scared. It's bad enough that I can barely walk on a normal day - at least I can still do the majority of the things I need to do. If my knee gives out, I really don't know how I'll be able to do anything.

I don't think I've even come close to accurately explaining how bad I feel right now. I hate feeling like this.

Briefly before collapsing

I want it to be known that the ONLY reason I am awake right now is that I just started a load of laundry. I am SO exhausted and in pain I cannot tell you. But for all that, yesterday was far too much fun. I wish I had time to go into detail, but considering I'm practically asleep, I can only give you a few tidbits at the end, and they will make no sense. Perhaps by the time I get home, either Nancy or Alex will take pity on y'all and explain further. If not, you just get to wait til I get back. The car is almost completely packed - I only have little bits that still need to go in. It IS packed to the brim because my cousin gave me so much clothing.

So thanks again to Alex for driving me there and back and not smacking me for being stupid, to Nancy for letting me share her room only in exchange for cookies and not being annoyed by my drunkeness, and to Atalanta for providing the booze and the doughnuts.

And now, a few quotes:

"And what do you know about the prostate?"

"Here sweetie - go fuck your bear."

"Rockin!"

"*bang bang bang* Bet you can't fucking sleep! We couldn't either!"

and last, but far from least:

"Hashbrowns or gritts?"

See y'all in a few days. Try to play nicely 'til then - please?

Fri, 23 Aug 2002 03:50:33 GMT

First of all, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday or gave me a pressie or is working on one. You are all so wonderful, and a definite part of why this has been the best birthday I've had in a long time. *big group puppypile-type hug*

So, what did I do today? I got my hair done as my present from my aunt and uncle! And now it is back to being the length I want, annnnnnnd...I am a Weasley redhead!!! It's really a bit weird. I pass a mirror and am like, "HUH?! Who was THAT? Oh, it's me..." O_O This will take some getting used to, let me tell you! But I really like it. Hopefully someone will have a camera in Austin and will take pics. Pics were taken tonight, but I don't have access to them yet and am not sure when I will. But yes, you will see. I am very happy, as this was the one thing I really wanted. It only happened because I mentioned I needed to get a haircut because of the interview next week! And then my aunt said, do you want color too? And I was like PLEASE!?! Because the last color I put on was waaaaay too dark and purpley. So now, it is really light and coppery and natural looking and I just need to get used to it. But I am happy. And babbling.

So, my cousin made a nice dinner (black pepper pork chops, broccoli, spagetti squash casserole, yum!) and she made me a red velvet cake, which is one of my absolute favorites, because it's my favorite color, that shade of red. I like eating cool colored stuff, as long as it isn't too outrageous, like that blue margarine they have in the grocery stores now? No thank you!!! But I digress.

So then my mom called, and I was happy she remembered it was my birthday. She professed as to seeing as how she had BEEN there, she of course remembered. Hehe. My gifts from my parents were my Reeboks and sandals that they got me when I was home last, which I definitely am putting to good use.

Then I opened my presents. I got $20 from my other cousin (he said he hoped it fit, hahaha, he's such a comedian!), and then....a zillion Harry Potter things! Dennis (friend of the family who built my computer) gave me a Gringotts goblin figure. Then my cousin had been collecting stuff for months, apparently...I'll try to list it all:

Harry Potter pillow, his hair flips up to reveal his scar
Hagrid figure
Hagrid and Harry in Gringotts cart sculpted box
Harry catching the snitch sculpted box
HP pencils
HP pens
HP gluesticks
HP pads of paper
HP picture frame
HP magnetic mirror
HP chocolate lollipop making kit
HP candy kit
HP spinning sucker

There may be more, but I can't remember it. I had more things to open than I knew what to do with! But it was very cool.

My brother apparently forgot. Oh well. My sister gave me my gift - pink grapefruit tea bags - when she visited at the end of July.

Also, my problem with not being able to see animated things has been fixed!!!!! It was a stupid spyware problem. Damn things, I hate them so. But it has been fixed and so cannot ruin my birthday!!!!

And thus ends my extremely rambling incoherent birthday post. I luuurve you all. :D

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 21 Aug 2002 20:47:13 GMT

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! I HAVE AN INTERVIEW!

*bounces around like a tigger on speed*

Okay, I think I'm calm now. Wait, nope!

*bounces more*

Okay, I think that's it. :D :D :D

It's for a company in Chicago, and it's next Wednesday. Which means I'm leaving a few days earlier than I'd planned, but only a couple. I need to leave Monday morning, and will get back Tuesday. So I can now go to Austin this weekend and REALLY celebrate, not just being with cool people and my birthday, but also that I will hopefully HAVE A JOB very SOON!!!

Okay, time to go bounce some more. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh look - a moderately interesting entry

Wed, 21 Aug 2002 00:47:21 GMT

I ran around doing errands today. Went to the bank with my latest unemployment check (hooboy, I'm rich now! *snort*), FINALLY got the mess with the free insulin straightened out and picked that up, went to the bookstore and found the book I'd needed so I could read the books in order, went to the sex shop (and no, I'm not telling what I got), went to the post office, and then picked up milk.

In other exciting news, I am planning to go to the mini-HP meet in Austin this weekend. I will drive there and back with kissaki, who will hopefully get some sleep before then and not torture me with strange music the whole trip, and then share a room with the incredibly generous nmalfoy, who wants only cookies in return. So I am making her chocolate chip/peanut butter chip cookies on Friday to bring with me. If you are going to be there and you want cookies, you will have to ask her nicely. :) I am bringing HP Trivia and we will have to do other silly HP things. Just don't make me walk anywhere. *bounces*

Just for the heck of it, I decided to check my reviews on FFnet. I rarely do this because I don't get many, which, considering the number of hits on my website, is rather surprising. I think I'm going to code my fics and put them up on my site soon. But now, it's time for Reviews I Either Liked or Found Amusing!

First, for Visibility, Guntar said:
Dumbledore’s parting comments to them, however, were more than Harry really wanted to know about his headmaster’s private life. “Of course,” and Harry thought he saw a look of wistful longing in older man’s eyes, “I can’t see the bother of all this when there are nice, warm socks.”

That is the funniest thing I have ever read. It alone made the story awesome.

Why, thank you. I love that myself. For some reason, I seem to be the only one who thinks that Dumbledore/Socks is a legitimate pairing. ;) However, I do not intend to write it!!

For My Favorite Mistake, Autumn Eve said:
You have one hell of a talent.

That's one of the best compliments I've ever gotten, even if I'm not sure I believe it. Thank you.

For Necrocommunion, Anakah said:
Interesting. I've never seen this done and I must say... It's not bad. In a twisted way I understood. Good story.

and Kronic said of the same:
Very well written, but freaky.

I have to admit, it still floors me that a) in terms of reviews, this is apparently one of my most-read stories, and b) most people are complimentary. When Libertine first approached me to write this, we both expected to get a lot of flames over it, and yes, we got a few. But the majority of reviews ARE positive. Go fig.

For Sex in the Village, Phorc said:
This is nearly the funniest thing I've ever read. (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy still number one, sorry...) I was crying after I found out Harry was gay. Laughing/crying, that is. In any case, keep writing, I'm curious to see how it all will turn out. And if you don't mind, can we get Cho in here somewhere...?

Being second to Hitchhiker's Guide is probably a LOT more than I deserve. I am humbled.

Also for SitV, Autumn Eve (from above) reviews again:
Aside from your writing, which I will comment on later, I just want you to know, it's "sex AND the city" not "sex IN the city," lol I watch it religiously.

Well, yes. I know that. I watch it too, otherwise, I don't think I could write this story. It's Sex IN the Village on purpose. Really it is. But, thanks? O_o

I think that's enough for now. See what happens when I don't check reviews for months? There actually ARE some!

The second book written and the third chronologically, you're the story of a Narnia hundreds of years after the last visit, populated by mythological creatures struggling to overthrow a king determined to wipe them out. Susan's Horn brings help when it's most needed ...

I have now been claimed. *luffs her triplet*

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 18:14:19 GMT

People are claiming each other left and right.

I'll be over here in the corner by myself.

Singing to the tune in my head...I hate people, I hate people...

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 04:29:58 GMT

Everything is pissing me off lately.

The pharmacy is giving me crap about giving me my free insulin. The clerk was downright rude when I went in to ask about it, and refused to call the company, saying I had to call. Well, I did, but no, THEY have to call. So I called the pharmacy and spoke to someone else, who I am hoping actually did call. This shouldn't be so damned hard.

Talked to my mom today and my brother is still planning to move home at basically the same time I am. He still has a job, but he was bitching about ME coming back home, taking the room he wanted, and having to put up with me. Now, my parents do not really want him to move back. I do not understand why he is moving back if he still has a job. I wouldn't have left having my own place if I'd had any other choice. My brother is a spoiled little brat who always left the house a huge mess and never cleaned up after himself. My parents are laying down all sorts of rules for him if he is coming back. So far, there are no rules for me. I imagine there will be some (mostly to do with me not staying out til all hours and coming home and waking them up), but they know that I will help cook and clean and generally be responsible.

I am generally annoyed with several people. You most likely know who you are.

All I really want for my birthday is to be able to get my hair professionally cut and colored, but I don't think that's going to happen. And my bangs are so long I can't see.

The next day, or, I'm still annoyed

Sun, 18 Aug 2002 05:45:33 GMT

I am still annoyed by the same things as yesterday.

In addition, apparently some sort of Big Thing went down when I wasn't around and a lot of people got hurt and upset and holy cripes, can't we all just get along?

Also, there is going to be a mini HP-con in Austin next weekend, and I am attempting to figure out if I can manage to go. Damn unemployment. Damn money. kissaki says I could share a car ride and room with her, so I'm trying to see if that's workable, even tho she had to point out that she has no designs on my body. *psigh* I am so disappointed. I thought everyone wanted my body. *snickers*

I was almost industrious today. I did all my laundry, I made an angel food cake, I whipped cream from scratch (which means literally whipping it, not in an aerosol can, haha, FROM SCRATCH, like I milked the cow!!), and I did 2 loads of dishes.

Sooner or later, I imagine I will need to pack, as I'm supposed to go back to Chicago in about a week and a half. Packing might be a good thing.

I am so bloody annoyed

Sat, 17 Aug 2002 05:18:28 GMT

I am annoyed. Frustrated. Generally put-out. Why, you ask?

You may wish you hadn't.

Mostly today was good, to a point. I didn't have to go anywhere today. My back is so much better (FINALLY!!) that I only have to see the chiropractor twice a week. I am really feeling better with the sinus infection today for the first time as well. So, these are the good things.

But then, argh. kissaki called my cellphone but I was in another room and didn't hear it. I went back there and saw it blinking about 15 minutes later, to discover she was inviting me to see a movie with her. I called back, but she didn't answer, so I left a msg on her VM. I then took my phone with me, as we were about to have dinner. It never rang. I wasn't annoyed at kissaki - I just figured the plans must've changed. So I finally go back to my room at a little after 10 pm and the phone begins to beep at me. I have a message. A message that is TWO HOURS OLD. Of course, it is kissaki, and I can hardly call her now because she is in the movie. Stupid cell phone!!!!!

I am also annoyed that I STILL cannot see animated icons. So I downloaded Netscape, even tho I don't like it, figuring that it must be something with IE. Nope. After wasting a bunch of time, it has to be SOMETHING with my computer, but what, I haven't a clue.

I am annoyed and somewhat worried that I have *counts* 5 more diabetes pills and *counts again* 3 more anti-depressants til I run out. You have NO idea how much these medicines cost. I can't afford it. So, will my blood sugars run ridiculously high before I am too depressed to care? Death and depression, what lovely things I have to look forward to! Gotta love healthcare in this country. So glad no one gives a fuck whether or not I die. No one who can do anything about it, anyway.

On top of it all, I'm ridiculously bored. I just want to scream. >.

Sniffles to you

Thu, 15 Aug 2002 04:09:09 GMT

Can anyone tell me why the hell my TEETH hurt when I'm sick? Is it some sort of cosmic joke or something? I'm just lying there in the bed thinking, well isn't this too wonderful. It's not as if my head doesn't feel so stuffed it's practically exploding, or I keep needing to sneeze but I can't and then my eyes tear up, or that I've been blowing my nose so often that it's sore. Now my TEETH hurt too! Gaaah.

In other news, Tuna Helper is disgusting. Hamburger Helper is good. So is Chicken Helper. But Tuna Helper should be banned from all store shelves and storeclerks who sell it should be made to wear pink tutus in public to teach them the errors of their ways. We won't get into the punishment for people who actually LIKE it. Oh, it's really horrid. Don't ever eat it.

I slept til nearly 3 pm today, and yet I am tired. I do not know how much longer I will last. Perhaps I will go to see if my jello has set. I really think that the only things you should have to eat when you're sick are jello and soup - hot and sour soup from a decent Chinese restaurant if you can manage it. It's not as if you can taste much of anything when you're all stopped up, anyway. Unless it's Tuna Helper, apparently. *shudders*

Urgh

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 20:45:34 GMT

So I have a sinus infection. Yay me. Also, he poked and cut a bit on the toe, but doesn't think it's really infected. I knew it wasn't bad, I just wasn't going to let it get very bad before doing something about it.

Which Literary Heroine Are You?
What? You don't think Harry Potter does it all on his own, do you? You're just like Harry's smart, bossy friend Hermione. She's rarely seen without her nose in a book, she's determined to stick to the rules, but even she knows that sometimes rules are made to be broken. She may seem like a bookworm with a big mouth, but she's also vital to have at hand when you're saving the world from 'you know who'! So embrace the bossyboots inside you, keep reading, keep being eager to learn - it'll come in handy some day, mark my words!

In other news, I'm ill. I've been coughing up a lung all afternoon. It's funny how quickly you can go from being fine to being sick. So I think I'm going to go curl up on the couch with my book and attempt not to die.

I'm Penny, which ambiguous dyke are you? Quiz by Turi.

This is frighteningly true. I even want to get a job doing tech management, simply because I can talk to geeks AND normal people. Go fig. Of course, maybe I just like it because it says I go both ways. *sniggers*

You are 50% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Who's a proud auntie? I'm a proud auntie!
As if I have anything to do with how well she turns out. *snicker*
Of course, I do plan to corrupt her completely as she gets older. MUHAHAHAHA. Little does she know that she'll have no choice but to like Harry Potter. Of course, she can't talk yet, so that'll have to wait. Well, she is talking her own language, just not English. It was rather fascinating to watch - you could totally tell she makes sense to herself, and it's the rest of us who don't get her. So yeah - now that she can walk, I'm just waiting for her to start speaking English.

Notice of Intent to Vacate This LiveJournal

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 00:27:17 GMT

My paid status on this LJ will be up at the beginning of September. Once it is, I am moving to another LJ. Some of you already know of this, and know why, but in a nutshell: I've been less than thrilled with my LJ name for some time now, so now that my payment period is up, I will be found elsewhere. Specifically, I will be found at hermorrine. I will be adding all of my current friends to that one, and you can add the new name whenever you wish - as I said, I won't really be using it for a bit longer.

Also, if you're feeling like getting me a birthday pressie, paying for new said LJ or making me a layout for said LJ would be exceedingly appreciated. I know I shouldn't be asking for gifts. I'm such a stinker.

In which Morri muses

Fri, 09 Aug 2002 21:11:01 GMT

I was thinking about something. *scowls* Don't laugh. What is the deal with using the word "fat" as a positive? I know that most likely it is meant as "phat," but I heard it on the radio, so who knows.

I have always found the etymology of words fascinating - why do we say one thing, or use that phrase? But I really find using fat as positive as odd. It isn't because I think of the word fat as a negative, I don't, not anymore. I actually think of it as rather neutral, along the lines as tall, short, blond, brunette, etc. It's just a descriptor. But I know that most of the world doesn't see it that way. Generally, a person is called fat when someone is trying to be hurtful. So how did this positive use come out of a negatively charged word?

I really don't have any answers to this. It just occurred to me as I was driving around trying to find the British import shop (I needed crumpets. Really) and the guy on the radio said that the giveaway was "so fat." Am I weird that I think about things like this?

You've got it all: power, money, wealth, and kryptonite enhanced intelligent and pysiology (even if it came at the cost of being called "Mr. Clean" by every monied snot-nosed punk from Anderson Academy to Eton). Your father is a magnificent bastard who withholds praise in order to make you "stronger," so you try to be hard and cold and a chip off the old block in the hopes that you can at least earn his respect if not his love. But you'll show him...

Help Needed!

Thu, 08 Aug 2002 22:40:09 GMT

I honestly don't know why this is, or how to fix it, but it's bugging me.

I can't see animated LJ icons. I know there's something wrong with my computer, most likely in the settings for Internet Explorer (I have Version 6.0.26). I've already checked and I have "play animation in web pages" checked, which seems the most obvious thing.

This is exceedingly frustrating, especially since I'm supposed to know tech stuff. But I'm really clueless here. Help! Please!

And another thing - why does LJ keep posting the time as two hours earlier than it is? My computer clock is correct and so is my location in my information for LJ. It's making me crazy!!

I am so much cooler than you

Why is that, you ask? Because I now have a Bertie Botts' pillow just like altricial's. We are like twins! And it is just cool besides that.

So there.

I really might go to bed early. Really.

I so frickin' tired. I went to the chiro, went to the grocery store, had a fun phone convo, cooked dinner, watched a Smallville rerun (had to explain to everyone else what the show was about), and have now been staring at Word for about an hour, attempting to write. It's not working. I think it's about time to pack it in for the night.

One interesting thing is that my uncle wants me to try and list some old vinyl records from WWII that were my grandmother's on eBay. I haven't got the foggiest idea if they'll sell at all, but we figure we'll give it a try and see what happens. So I will prolly be working on that for a couple of days this week. I don't mind doing the computer part of it, but I am not looking forward to packing the suckers up and shipping them if anyone actually wants them. Well, if they pay enough, I suppose I might get more motivated. Eh.

And on 3 hours of sleep...

I couldn't sleep last night. This was most likely because I had to get up at 8:30 am. Isn't that how it works? Gah. So I got up and went to the chiropractor - definitely better yesterday and today. I am hopeful. I may actually survive this.

I am awfully bored already. I might actually write some today. I've actually got a rough outline for the rest of the chapter. I know this astounds you.

And, because there hasn't been enough of him on my LJ recently, I post this quiz result for you:

Don't ask me where the quiz is - I've forgotten. I had to post the pic to my own server (which is hell because I have to upload the pic and then enter the unix command to allow it to be accessed...argh), but I just had to because he looks TOO hot in his hockey jersey. Oh baby. *drools*

What Kind of Relationship is Right For You?

Pretty much, yeah.
