Ramblings of a total Zack girl

So somebody tagged me in the happiness-a-day meme, and I'm going to give it a go.

Only I'll do it for the day before, it works better.


Yesterday's Thing That Made Me Happy was beading.

I love beading; it's my favorite form of creating. I get to make beautiful things through pattern and repetition (my specialty, you should see the gingerbread houses I create), it's precise by nature, and people can wear the results! I can make beautiful things through careful planning and experimentation, and then the final step is mindless handwork. It says a lot about my mental processes in general, actually. *G* But I'm terrifically pleased with the jewelry I finished!



I watched While You Were Sleeping for the first half of my beading time (oh, this fic is gonna be awesome) and then Eloise at Christmastime for the second half. Shut up, it's cute.

Today I'm going to help a friend unpack from her move; before and after will be writing and then more beading and Christmas movies. I'm making my mother's Christmas present and my big sister's, this year. I'm actually set for presents except for my Gang gift and my dad's. I just love stretching into filling my time with creativity and helping people out and spending time with my family.


VACATION \O/

All right, I admit it, I caved. I just also suck at this game.

The rules:

1. There are 30 questions.
2. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits.
3. Answer each question using only one name each.
4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme.

So keepaofthecheez is running a Testimonial Meme, to help us all while away the long dreary hours of hiatus, and I've always kind of wanted testimonials for my profile, so hey:

Here I Am

If you think they should, go tell people to buy me. *G*

Okay, stolen from cadhla

Make a list of the characters in your icons. Alphabetize it. Make a pairing of 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and so on, and explain how it would go.

( Cut for length. And...bizarrity. )

Going back through old entries, I found a quiz that I've always remembered with fondness. I retook it, and was amused to see how the result had changed.

Go to the Quotations Page and hunt through it until you find five ten quotations that you feel really sum up who you are. (NB. if you register you get the use of your own personal quotes page where you can store quotes you like the look of, and pick some suitable ones off there afterwards). Post them on on your LJ. Watch as other people go "ooh, shiny!" and copy you in wasting the entire afternoon/evening on the site.


( I couldn't resist )

Comment, and I'll do SOME of teh following, because otherwise - Merlin on a cracker!

* I’ll respond with something random I like about you.

* I’ll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.

* I’ll name something we should do together.

* I’ll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).

* I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

* I’ll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.

* I’ll ask you something that I’ve always wondered about you.

* If I do this for you, you must do this for one person on your flist.

Cryptic love?

I can do that.

Some of these are on my flist, some are not. Some are RL, some are not. Some are more than once, and all of them apply to more than one person.

a) There are days I know I could not get through life without you. Not just your advice, your support, your jokes, but your sheer presence, existence in the world.

b) I admire you so much, you know. Not just your creative work, but your life and the way you live it, the energy and enthusiasm and sheer fun that you give the world you inhabit.

c) There are times you make me want to scream, tear my hair out, strangle you with yours. But you add something to my life--a zest, a zing--that I know I would miss.

d) You understand me. You know when to laugh at me, when to scold me, when to listen and when to interrupt. Some days I think we share souls, minds, hearts--and all days I thank all the powerful beings I can imagine for your friendship.

e) I find you sexy as hell.

f) You're new to me, and to my life, but I look forward eagerly to the changes you will make in it. I feel attached to you already, despite our fresh acquaintanceship, and I have a strong feeling that you will become someone on my "will kill for" list.

g) I know I've hurt you in the past, but it has never been my intention--that is, I didn't enjoy doing it. And your forgiveness means a lot to me--more than I can ever tell you.

h) Your calm, steady nature is a balm to my rollercoaster tendencies.

i) You encourage me in all my headlong dives, and the splashing--I thank you for.

j) I miss you. A lot. I miss the times we lived in each other's pockets, and the rock-solid bonds that we renewed everyday. But those bonds are still there, and I promise you if you pull on them, I can hold up. Type to me.

k) I want to get to know you better
