Here, have a boring "stuff that I did today" entry:

☆ Went and mailed the package to the person who won my book draw, hooray! Now it's up to the mercy of the postal services. But I paid for tracking and insurance, so it should be... fine... I think. Thank gods I had the foresight to save some of my Christmas money, because that was expensive. And I feel kind of oddly guilty about spending it on something like this, but I think that's because family always gets on my case when they find out I've spend my 'present money' on boring practical things. But like, what would I have spent it on otherwise? Candy, books, music, cologne. Y'know. Stuff I don't need. This, well. It's important and I reallly didn't want to cheap out on postage. Here's hoping it won't take a month to get to its destination... [/crosses fingers]

☆ IT WAS WARM TODAY. IT WAS -12C. I was so happy. Hella' snowy, though. I made the mistake of wearing sneakers instead of snowboots, and the walk to the post office is 40 minutes, and... let's just say I regret everything. 8') But dealing with snowy wet jeans was totally worth it. PLUS!! I SAW A FOX! It was hanging out by the recycle bins, playing in the snow. I tried to get a photo, but I'm not used to using the camera on my mp3 player, so it turned out a little bit... um... well... See for yourself:



BEHOLD THE MAJESTIC FOXIPEDE. Always make sure you have the panorama setting turned off before attempting wildlife photos. ;p

☆ I wrote today! A lot! Well, not as much as some days, but it was a lot. I've smashed through my wordcount goal for the month; it's kind of crazy. Anyway, it was a pornfic that I'm allllmost finished wording on, so it's great that I managed to be able to go to the cafe today. ...It's kind of funny, I keep hearing people say that they're embarrassed to write that kind of thing in public, because of a feeling that somebody might see it. But like. If somebody is close enough to read my scribbly handwriting, then we have way bigger problems than the fact that I'm writing that kind of thing in public. And ditto for laptop/tablet screens: those screens aren't that big! Unless you're writing in like, 16 pt font, nobody's going to be able to see that unless they're getting way more close and snoopy than they should. ...And that's my feeling on that.

Oh wow, that picture! Now I kind of want to play with the panorama setting just to see what else it can make.

EHOLD THE MAJESTIC FOXIPEDE

Omg, that's certainly something! Wow!

[still_intrepid]

That picture is AMAZING and beautiful.

Hooray for writing! Yes that's true, if people are getting a really detailed read of what you're writing that's more their problem really..... I think I'd still worry with a laptop screen facing out maybe tho heh. (I seem to remember changing the font colour to very light grey on school computers etc, which I'm sure didn't look suspicious AT ALL.)

[raskolnikov]

holy crap changing the font color is a great idea and i am adopting this.

FOXIPEDE OMG THAT'S AMAZING

[hokuton_punch]

FOXIPEDE IS BEAUTIFUL. Also I am just jealous you saw a fox, I never see them. D:

Also yay for writing! I - wish I could say the same...

[solovei]

THE FOXIPEDE HAS COME FOR OUR SOULS

RUN

*ahem*
I've definitely had moments of thinking "omg -12 that's SO WARM! I can even maybe TAKE OFF MY HAT". *hi-five for prairie winters*

I don't know why but I definitely get more done in coffeeshops and such than I do at home. Something about "you came here to work, so WORK", I guess. Sadly I don't have the money to hang out in those all the time :(

[yuuago]

YESSSS oh man, what will be even better when it gets closer to 0... getting to go around in a jacket instead of this heavy down-filled parka. Bliss.

Re: cafes, YES. Or libraries. I think it's just - at home, there are too many distractions. And people trying to talk to me. Bleh.

[solovei]

Yeah, absolutely that about distractions. I'm kind of lucky in that I do end up being alone a lot during the day, but there's still the constant opportunity to get a snack or check facebook or whatever.

[raskolnikov]

It's above freezing here, today D:

foxipede aside, AHH so jealous!! Foxes are the cutiest! That picture is terrifying, though.


I wonder, if someone did actually see you were writing porn, would they just wanna read more? ;D

[yuuago]

They are adorable. I usually don't get to see them up close like that!

NGL, my porn is so awesome that if someone did chance to see it, they would keep reading. No doubt. [/winkwonk] (KIDDING) (...mostly.)

[raskolnikov]

what was the topic of this one?

[yuuago]

ALAS it's for an exchange, so I can't give deets. But it will all become clear in a couple of weeks.
