October, Memes, Shopping, & More

/ life, meme, shopping

Happy October!! It’s adamselzer‘s favorite month, so YAY for him!!!

As for me, this means that Halloween (free candy) is that much closer, autumn peak is about two weeks away (can’t wait to take pictures of the trees at Dawes!!!), and that the crisp air will remind me of the upcoming holidays, like Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and my and Aidan’s birthdays! 🙂

It also means that November 18th is that much closer, when I go to Philly and see Bob Dylan!! He’d better play stuff off of Modern Times, or I will be very sad. No I won’t. I’ll be happy no matter what he plays. But I REALLY hope he plays at least one or five Modern Times songs. Especially Working Man’s Blues #2. Especially that one. Yes.

Anyway, a meme from Rosa (meimeigui):

List five truths. Five things that are on your mind. Good, bad, it matters not. Lift some weight off. Then pick five people to do the same.

Okay, before I do this, are they MY truths, or truth-truths, or what?? Oh heck, here goes (with my truths):

1. Creditors will still call and be annoying regardless of debt management programs being put into place.
2. Capital One is a bitch.
3. Everyone’s spiritual journey is their own, so butt the f*** out if your advice/preaching/words are not wanted.
4. Aidan is the cutest little boy in the world.
5. I love Chicago.

Five people to do this:

magecky413
verytruly
shadowfreder
starrlyte

Have fun, folks! 😀

Did a little bit of shopping today. Got myself three sweaters and some shirts to wear under the sweaters, and loads of stuff to clean the aquarium with. I also got two little shirts for Aidan. Everything was decently priced–I don’t think I paid full price for any of the clothing I bought today, YAY. The aquarium stuff was a lot more than I’d wanted to spend, but it’ll be worth it to keep a healthy tank.

No more spending for me for a long while, though. I’m done. 🙂

I have lots of emails to pay attention to, a website to set up, and poop. The weekend is always almost over. 🙁
Sundays go so quickly. 🙁 The weekends go by too quickly. Then it’s another LONG LONG work week.

Nine million people are IMing me now, so I’m going to go and pay attention to them. ‘Til next time!

Wednesday night:

Rob came over, and I made him spaghetti. The only sauce I had was onion, garlic and something or other else. I didn’t think I’d like it, but after avoiding the onions, it turned out to be VERY tasty. Rob liked it too. I made “garlic bread” out of wheat hamburger buns with butter and Taylor Street cheese sprinkle on top. Oh YUMMMM. We also had a good conversation outside by his car.

Rob is always enjoyable company. 🙂

Uploaded pix to Deviant Art site. I might be addicted to photo posting sites–but nothing will compare to my Flickr. 🙂

What I did last night:

Finally fixed the time settings on my camera, so it wouldn’t say AM when it should say PM.

Decided I needed to figure out how to use the fully manual functions on my camera.

Went down to The Basement (inside Fat Eddie’s) to see Tony Lucca (of former MMC fame) open for Marty Casey (?) and the Love Hammers. Tony was amazing, but he wasn’t really meeting with any fans after the show, which sucked. I wanted a picture with him, so I could compare it to when I met him in 1993.

Was told by the guys that I wasn’t allowed to take pictures with my nice camera at the request of the band. AFTER I’d taken several of Tony already (not knowing this request). They’re afraid I’ll sell them.

I laughed at that. Seriously, who’d want to buy these?

Nerd? Geek? Dork?

/ meme


Modern, Cool Nerd
73 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn’t used to be cool, but in the ’90s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” The Modern, Cool Nerd” is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Take the test here!
