That is incredibly freaky. Holy shit.
That is incredibly freaky. Holy shit.
On a completely random note...
Sep. 1st, 2010 12:51 pmI've noticed on Facebook recently that a few of my friends have pictures of their kids as profile pictures. The reason I make any kind of note of this is the fact that more than a few of those kids are babies, and babies - to me - all kind of look alike.
In several different cases, I've been skimming through status updates and mistook one friend for another because they both had baby profile pics. It always causes me to do a double take before I notice the name and go 'oh'.
Not sure why I find this funny... Maybe it's my lack of attention to detail (and I program for a living, imagine that), or maybe it's the sheer number of people I know with offspring. I'm sure it's the same for some people when their friends have the 'wedding photo as profile picture' (this is me, btw) because all they probably see while skimming is a girl in a white dress - and given the number of weddings I heard about this summer, there's gotta be a lot of those on most people's lists.
Or maybe there's just something wrong with me. XD

Our fun stuff!
Jun. 5th, 2010 10:42 amI know we never took pictures of our house ('cause I'm lazy), but Cody did take pictures of our entertainment centre and the "library" - so here they are.
The manga
The anime
The games
The entertainment centre
Awesome, huh?
On an unrelated note, my ATLA artbook came in two days ago! I have gone through it all and it is AWESOME. I recommend all fans pick up a copy, because it was so worth the money and the wait!

1. Comment to this entry saying "ICONS!" and I will pick 6 of your icons.
2. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!
(If you have six icons or less, feel free to pick up the meme and talk about your icons anyway. Heh.)
( The icons lycoris picked for me )

Apr. 6th, 2010 08:08 pmYour result for Awakening the Hero Within: Hero Archetype Test...
You are the Innocent
88% Innocent, 8% Orphan, 67% Warrior, 71% Caregiver, 33% Seeker, 58% Lover, 71% Destroyer, 67% Creator, 52% Magician, 50% Ruler, 58% Sage and 54% Fool!
Goal: remain in safety
Fear: abandonment
Response to Dragon/Problem: Deny or seek rescue
Task: Fidelity, discernment
Gift: Trust, optimism, loyalty
Addictions: Consumerism, sugar, cheerfulness
The Journey of the Innocent, in all its versions, begins in a kind of utopia, a safe, secure, peaceful, loving environment. Suddenly, we are thrown fro m that environment and enter a world where we are judged, where unfair discriminations are made, where conflict and violence are rampant and illusions are shattered.”
The Innocent in each of us, however, knows that if that safe garden is possible anywhere or anytime, even if we personally never remember experiencing it, then it can be recreated sometimes, by someone.
Only at the end of our journey are we Wise Innocents, knowing the whole breadth of life’s experiences, and choosing to create a peaceful, egalitarian world where all creatures can be known, honoured, and empowered.
The Innocent also believes that it is important to stay defined by one’s persona and have no secrets from the world.
Shadow Side:
The Shadow side of the innocent wants to protect the innocent state by refusing the Fall, and can cause us to be in denial about our own actions. When healthy, Innocents transgress, forgive themselves, moderate their behaviour, and move on. Shadow innocents blame themselves if others violate their principles.
How others will see you:
Shadow Orphans will tempt the Innocent to cross the physical and metaphorical street and to flout the rules. The Shadow Warrior will wage war on the Innocent, criticizing unmercifully.
The Shadow Caregiver will demand sacrifice and accuse the Innocent of selfishness if he or she shows the slightest regard for personal wishes or welfare.
You will see others as:
Seekers will be seen as heretics, Destroyers as enemies, Lovers as immoral seducers, and Creators as dangerous sources of hubris.

Birthday No. 1 Song
Feb. 5th, 2010 04:32 pmWhat was the #1 song the day you were born? Google the date and #1 song and then post your #1 song on your LJ - preferably with a Youtube vid if you can find one!
Haha, I guess I could do worse!
Seriously. It could be 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' like Cody's is. Heh.

Aug. 10th, 2009 08:56 amA small lesson in Karma:
The Bad: When Cody and I moved into our new house a little over a week ago, we were a little disappointed by how the old owners had left it for us. The walls hadn't been painted, which we'd been promised, and they were dirty. There were dents and scratches on them which hadn't been there before - signs of carelessness while moving, probably. There was a dirty ashtray on the porch and cigarette butts all up the driveway. The garbage bin was full, and the recylcing bin was wide open and overflowing (it would not even have been picked up in that state - we had to empty half of what they'd crammed into it out to wait for the next week). The compost bin was full, but the grass clearly hadn't been watered or mowed for some time. We were left only a single garage door opener and no keys for the front and side doors (apparently they lost them because they always used the digital locks - it ended up taking a while for the realtor to find them, and we still don't have a key for the door from the garage into the house). The floors hadn't even been swept, and there was leftover food in the deep freeze and freezer.
The Backlash: The realtor later informed us that the old owners of our house had moved into a "fixer-upper" (less money than we'd paid for their place). They had received a $27K discount because there was a bowed wall in the basement. The previous owner of the place accidentally sprayed some water down onto the wall before moving out. Shortly after the move-in, the wall collapsed, and mud and water from the backyard poured into the house. The amount of cleanup was ghastly, and I don't even know the cost of fixing the wall (plus the fact that half the furniture in the rec room down there probably had to be replaced). Because the bowed wall was part of the contract, they won't get a cent from the previous owner to help.
The Lesson Learned: Don't screw people over, unless you like being screwed over yourself.
In other news, I found a dead mouse on our driveway this morning. I suspect the neighbor's cat, but don't really mind. A dead mouse on the driveway is better than a live one in the house. Cody also discovered that Quiz will kill and eat spiders (even big ones). I am very, very happy with my kitty.
Also, birthday yesterday. I'm 27 years old now. Woo.
