Evening everyone! I'm writing this on my way to Tokyo--and is the shinkansen ever crowded tonight! Here's a summary of what's been going on at the Nook this week: 1. Backorders: I'm slowly making headway on this issue, and a couple more people are about to hear from me shortly--we got replacement books and a stunning little motorcycle manga set this week. 2. The Weekly Update: I'd had one planned...

This has certainly been a year of firsts. My first wedding anniversary. The first time I volunteered for a political candidate. The first time I went to a political rally. The first time I voted for a President who WON. The first time I went to a protest. My first calendar year I've lived away from Florida since I was an infant. The first time I made real friends in fandom and elsewhere on LJ...

Thanks to jakobmorningstr and a_tergo_lupi and melime (who is also the only IRL friend from FL that I ever hear from on LJ) and raineblack007 and whiterabbit1613 and thecuriomuseum , who also made a happy-birthday post on her LJ with a very yummy-looking cupcake on it! Thanks everyone! Edit, 7:12 p.m.: Also thanks to luchalibrarian who...

For the last few weeks, I haven't had any internet service on my computer because GCI is the suck. I did as much of my internet stuff as I could on my Sidekick, including chatting with friends dbzmerciter2005 , pen_of_jen , and my actual-friend-from-real-life Amanda ( melime ). It was during a chat with Amanda that I learned that she too knows of Keith Olbermann, and had even...

1. First Name: Heather. 2. Age: I'll be 25 on the 25th--of November. 3. Location: Fort Wainwright, Alaska. But I'm from Titusville and Sarasota, Florida. Yes, I'm from both places. 4. Occupation: I was a cashier, but now a "homemaker," which is a euphemism for housewife. Chris and I only have one car so I won't be able to go back to work until he deploys. I was bored as hell the first...

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Tuesday I gave char101_1001 a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points) . Last Sunday I bought porn for _cometogether_ (10 points) . In June I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points) . In July I caught a purse-snatcher who stole 711icons 's purse (30...

Holy crap I'm 25 today. That means I can rent a vehicle without the added monetary penalty. Whoo. I think this is the last year milestone that doesn't suck, ya know? My sister came over for the weekend, but of course, I get sick so all our plans were toasted. But we can go out another time. It was a really nice birthday, considering I have this nasty cough/cold in full effect now. Mainly, I got a...

So ever since melime got me into Guild Wars, I've been slightly addicted!! It's good 'cause now I'll have something to trade with the Sims and Guitar Hero when I go on hiatus from them. They are like the high triumvirate of games for me
