(no subject)

I think it's probably not the best sign ever if the first three days of second term have been a comedy of errors -- we're talking being told no caffeine ever for a year (at first, I thought it wouldn't be too bad as I don't drink pop or coffee or each chocolate, but then I realized that I really like a chai latte or a cup of green tea every so often), randomly rescheduled appointments, car getting stuck (really stuck) twice, and a variety of other issues, the most humorous and least actually serious of which involved spilling 200 thumbtacks all over your carpet and almost getting hit by a car. Not at the same time, of course, because I would have bigger problems if there were cars driving through my apartment.

I am just that cool.

In other news: You know what I find to be annoying? When a group of people stands around (and across) the hallway at school, all done up in their Sunday suits, blocking traffic and shoving copies of the New Testament into the hands of every. single. person. who walks by, and making everyone late for class.

Do I go into their place of learning and throw photocopied pamphlets about my religious and spiritual beliefs at them? No. You know why? Because that would be rude.



But this all sounds fairly negative, and my LJ is going to be a non-whining place this year. I can't promise more frequent updates because, for starters, they would likely be along the lines of: "Today I got up and I ate a piece of toast." Also, it most probably would not happen.

I am also going to try to be a bit more fannishly proactive -- sending feedback that I've been meaning to send but held off on because I am not very good at feedback. This suddenly struck me as silly, because I'd always prefer some form of feedback to not getting feedback.

I will also maybe occasionally add people to my flist. Here's the thing (and I know it sounds insane): I don't like adding people to my flist if they haven't added me first. I tend to feel as if I'm presuming upon them, because honestly? I am aware that I am often just not that interesting. It's the same reason I usually refrain from randomly IM'ing people.*



* Or maybe I am actually a sock puppet for tellitslant or sprat. I am just the longest-running and least-useful sock ever, because even if I was, say, being co-socked by the pair, I don't think that it would make FW, because I haven't done anything controversial** interesting enough. Is being a sock enough these days?
