it's like the eye of a duck

I coulda been a fuller. From firenzekat and others:

( my medieval job )

Sitting here sewing, footwork-ing (that's not really sitting, is it?), looking up old techno on YouTube and repeatedly refreshing the OPM site to see if they've made a decision about whether I'm working tomorrow. If it's as icy tomorrow as it is now (every time I've opened the front door this evening I can hear the rattling of sleet/freezing rain hitting the front stoop), I rather hope so.

If nothing else, I'll be able to sew a bit if I can avoid the tv/internet. Kisia appropriated the banyan for her own purposes this evening (Sitting Place) and I was loath to move her because.. well, she was awfully cute, and clearly comfortable.

Eeek, an internet quiz! But this one was actually kind of interesting (gacked from wcg):



Your Aspie score: 108 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 89 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Take the quiz yerself.

Off to fence now...

Gacked from ragdoll:

( LeStrange wants me dead, Malfoy just wants me )

Via misia: A Mormon missionary beefcake calendar (link ok for work). I can't tell whether it's serious or not, but I think I read some gay erotica on a similar theme once....

Brain sprain: I dreamed last night that I was a Bryan Ferry impersonator, only to be shamed off the stage by the real thing during my screechy rendition of "More Than This" because his suit was (of course!) better than mine.

Whatever I ate before bed last night, I shouldn't 'a...

From dustdaughter, so funny I had to share:

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Yea, verily: Who is that, rampaging amidst the candy store! It is Anotheranon, hands clutching a thorned whip! And with a spectacular roar, her voice cometh: "I'm going to clobber you until Western Civilization implodes!!"

Find out! Enter username: Are you a girl, or a guy ?

I got 9/10 for the cryptozoology quiz; 8/10 for bigfoot.

Clearly I'm losing weird cred :P

Found at Cryptomundo.com, online clearing house for hidden/mythical(?) animal news.

At last, someone (seamstrix) provides something useful:

( Shaun of the/Evil Dead, anyone? )

They didn't offer my favorite option - bludgeon them to death with a pool cue to the tune of an old Queen track...

Icon speaks of my overall mood - out of sorts but not quite into the "grumpy" box, then reading my LJ I realized: that's right, it IS the shortest day of the year! Which is good, because it means they can start getting longer from here on out!

Fencing: went painfully slowly last night, due to technical difficulties (bad wiring = scoring buzzer going off when it shouldn't). Very annoying and too much standing around (and too few people! I mean, IMHO fencing = holiday, why did everyone stay home? </vent>) :P Given that my Usual Club is closed the week between Xmas and New Year's, I'm checking the schedules of all the Other Local Clubs because can't...go..a week... WITHOUT!

tinynibbles has her own top year's 10 sexiest geeks (love the "GILF" abbreviation!), most of which I've not heard of, but many of whom seem geeky enough for me to rethink my lack of attention :P As for her curiosities about the Ninja's sex life, perhaps she should just ask - after all, that's what he's there for.

And via vree, my very English-sounding Peculiar Aristoractic title, though I'd prefer "Queen of All Londinum With Shiny Hat":
( quizziness here )

I've not been keeping up with LJ or email as well as I could - if there's something important I've missed, point me at it.

I am tired and disoriented and sore (lifted weights tonight), going to do a bit of sewing and watch "The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes" (and if Holmes and Watson aren't more than "hetero life partners", I'll eat my shiny hat)...

From tommdroid, seamstrix, and others:

( I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Atlantans don't sound like Scarlett )

From tommx and others:

( I paid enough attention to know that  )

Seemingly very long day with multiple "things" going on - very hungry with a feeble "running on empty" feeling most of the day.

Weekend plans are coming together nicely [crosses fingers that they stay on track!]

Fencing club was unbearably hot (timed furnace?) so came home after class for a nice chat with D. about life, the universe, and everything.
