Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons...

☁ Hikago peeps- don't forget about blind_go  sign ups! They end TODAY, so if you were planning on signing up and haven't yet, go ahead and do it! Also remember the support thread too, even if you're not writing this time around. Readers are totally awesome too. :D

☁ LJ: FAIL. I know it's not their fault, really, but that doesn't make the recent issues any less ANNOYING AS HELL. I guess it really makes you realize how much time you spend on a site when it's down, though. I've been kind of left going, "Er, now what?" a lot of the time since this whole thing started. XD Oh, and is it just me that's still having problems? LJ still won't load half the time. :/

☁ Totally getting sick, I can feel it in the back of my nose and throat. I know I'm due for it, but. DO NOT WANT!

☁ I got my replacement mastercard in the mail today. Yaaaay. Though I still have yet to get a bill from March. I don't know whether that's something I should be worrying about yet. <_<

☁ My workplace has decided to change weekly paychecks into biweekly paychecks over the summer. Which, quite honestly, BLOWS. They're giving us all this bullshit about how it doesn't affect how much money we get... yeah, actually, it does. Bigger paychecks mean that more money gets taken out in taxes. So effectively, it affects us like a paycut. This in addition to the fact that insurance is going up again this year. Thanks, guys. Really. Not to mention that the first week without a paycheck is going to hit hard financially- especially since the way they have it planned, we'll only get paid for a partial week. Do they not realize that when they pay their employees like shit, said employees can't afford to last two weeks on half a week's pay? Apparently not. Bastards.

☁ Because EVERYONE IRL seems to be doing this to me lately: Why is it that people don't get that if I have headphones on, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN CONVERSATION? Seriously, how hard is that to figure out? I am clearly listening to music/ watching something/ avoiding talking to you. Unless there's some kind of emergency, go away. Jeez.

☁ Apparently brand for Greek yogurt matters? I didn't know that until I ended up trying a new one when the store didn't have what I usually get. Oh. My. Freaking. GOD. Apparently, Stonyfield > Yoplait > Chobani, at least to me. I don't know if it's the organic thing or what, but that shit is AWESOME. Especially since Yoplait recently changed theirs, so it's not as good as it was. Biggest problem is that it's also expensive- $2 for a small container. Ugh. Figures.

Also food related- note to self, the cheese pizza lean pockets aren't bad. Hmm.

☁ It occurred to me today that I didn't have a playlist for smutting- just something generic to help with the writing process. Huh. Lish wanted me to post it (and there's a few suggestions from her on here too), so here you go. Just remember that some of these are random. And actually, there's a couple I don't even like but acquired somehow. XD Also, I haven't used this yet. So. I make no claims as to how well this helps. If anybody happens to have any other suggestions, let me know. :D

( This is totally longer than I thought it would be. XD )

1. My body hates me. I had half of a Smirnoff Ice last night- actually, not even half- and I woke up feeling hung over. Fantastic. This is why I don't usually drink. It doesn't matter how much I have, even if I don't get so much as a buzz, I feel like shit the next day. Gah.

2. This? Looks really good. I WANTS. *sigh* Computer first. On the upside, by the time I get the new computer (and back up hard drive, because yeah, that's VERY important to me), hopefully the price will have gone down a little?

3. fifthmus count: 948. And I have to go to work soon, and the thing is due TONIGHT. *headdesk* I. Am. Screwed. And let's not even talk about the subrosa_tennis fic I don't even have an idea for yet, much less words written. *more headdesking*

4. I cleaned out one of the plastic drawers near my desk that didn't have much of anything in it anyway, so I now have a place for my doujin. Woot! It's kind of weird thinking that I have a special drawer for that, though. And hopefully no one decides to go through it, because... yeah. Most of it's porn. And trying to explain that? Not fun.

I should try to add a couple of more words to this before I get in the shower. That's probably about how much it'll amount to, too. XD Later!

**EDIT**  YESSSSSS. It's over the minimum, FINALLY. Okay, barely, but still. Eight words over is eight words over. Now I get to print this out and try to do some self beta at work, if I have time.
