Happy Valentine's Day!!! :)
Feb. 14th, 2019 11:23 amHi, luvs!
Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate! :)
I know people complain that this is a manufactured holiday to benefit corporations, but what holiday isn't a benefit to Big Business these days? I laugh when the Christian fundies wail that they'll be banning Christmas someday. Are you kidding? Business, big and small, would never allow it! That's when most of businesses make their profits for the year. So, no, just chill.
Modern capitalism means corporations get to fill their pockets. I refuse to let the joy of holidays go by because every holiday is consumerist. I celebrate the holidays like this one and take joy out of it.
Besides, it's good to have a day when we're reminded to say, "I love you." With busy modern life, we often forget. Sometimes it's nice just to say it or show it in a special way.
Enjoy your day, my friends! :)

Dreamwidth Premium Paid Account Expiring
Jan. 10th, 2018 06:34 pmHi, luvs!
My Premium Paid Account is expiring in 10 days. If anyone can help me out, I'd sure appreciate it. Just got some icons back and now I'll be losing them again!
If anyone does help out, thanks will be slightly delayed. Surgery tomorrow! See ya on the other side! :)
Love you all!

Oct. 6th, 2017 10:33 amWow! I wake up this morning and an anonymous gifter has provided me with a paid account for a year on LJ! *squees*
That allows me 82 out of my 285 icons, too. Much better than 15! Though if anyone would like to help out with extra userpic packages, I have the space now ;)
But a HUGE THANK YOU to my anonymous gifter! I now have a few Halloween icons again! And can choose any layout I want. *hurries off to play*
You have made my day! :)
*BIG HUGS*

starsandseaArgh! I'm reduced to only 15 icons on LJ now because I'm not a paid account. Been a long time since THAT was the case. So don't expect appropriate icons over there anymore. :(
Thanks to everyone who sent me gifts and greetings for my birthday! I'll post a more detailed list this weekend. :)

Sep. 25th, 2016 07:07 pmMy sister BunnyGirl won't be in town for my birthday this Tuesday, so she treated me early to my present. Besides, this wasn't a thing meant to be stuffed in after work.

Mar. 21st, 2016 10:05 amTHANK YOU to the anonymous donor who gifted me with all my extra userpics!!! *dances*
Thanks to all of you who listened to my moping and moaning about losing them. I know it's a small thing, and some might think it's stoopid, but we all have our quirks and this is one of mine. *hugs icons tight* I was pretty bummed with the loss of so many icons, particularly a bunch of Steve/Diana and Bruce/Dick lovelies, but so many more!
I TOTALLY appreciate this! What a great thing to cheer up a bleh Monday, though I admit a snowstorm the day after the first day of spring is pretty funny and very typical of New England! :)
I might even be inspired to do a little more fanficcing! :)
My f-list is THE BEST!!!

I found a notification in my inbox this morning that the wonderfulcrooked_halo has extended my extra userpic packages in addition to generous Anon! *dances* Wow, what a great thing to wake up to this morning! THANK YOU, m'dear! MUCH appreciated! :)
Still stressed this week but I hope that a major worry gets resolved in my favor. *hope, hope, hope* Maybe my creative juices will start to flow again once some stress is gone.
I am working on a long WIP at the moment, and still no idea about any Big Bangs this year. I'm hoping that Avengers 2: The Age Of Ultron helps inspire me in a few months. I'm not sure if the Superman vs. Batman movie will do the same, but that might be next year, anyway? Whatever the case, I think Marvel has the better chance of jump-starting my creative battery cables. ;)
I did have another WIP that was going along pretty well until it fell by the wayside. Hopefully I can pick that up in 2015. We shall see.
Again, BIG THANKS!!! I have the best f-list in the world! :)

Mar. 12th, 2015 06:20 pmTHANK YOU to the wonderful Anon who paid for my extra userpics! *happy dance* :) It was a great thing to see in my inbox this morning.
Thank you to both Anons (or the same one?) for extending my LJ paid account and these userpics. Your kindness and generosity is VERY much appreciated. :)
I have been under TREMENDOUS STRESS the past few weeks and these acts of kindness help me a lot. A lot of people have left LJ, but it appears my f-list is still golden. :)

Mar. 11th, 2015 11:20 amTHANK YOU to my anonymous donor who extended my LJ paid account. That was really fantastic of you, Anon! *dances* This will help if someone picks up my extra userpics extension, because a paid account can handle the extra icons (the icon on this post will be one of the disappearing set, poor birdie). We shall see what the Ides of March (15th) brings! :)
Real life still sucks but here is my happy place, made happier today by a generous soul. :)

RIP, Mr. Nimoy
Feb. 27th, 2015 06:15 pmVery sad news today. On the cusp of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, we lost Leonard Nimoy. :(
He had a full, rich life. Born in Boston's West End to Ukrainian Jewish parents, he was raised in a tenement and roamed the streets of Boylston and the Fens, selling newspapers as a boy. He saw the Red Sox play at Fenway Park and learned to row on the Charles River. He was a man of whom nothing negative was said of his character, and William Shatner called him the brother he never had.
I fell in love with Star Trek as a child and my love for the show has been with me all my life. It fueled dreams in me, and it brought me to modern fandom. My first slash love was Kirk/Spock, easy because of the depth of warmth and affection between the characters that we saw on a weekly basis. It was my 'gateway' fandom, as it was for so many. Through fandom I found my true outlet for creativity and made so many friends! I have been very happy in fandom all these years.
Star Trek and Mr. Spock is part of the cultural language and an actor could do a lot worse than be known for a character with such impact on so many people's lives. When you inspire people to become scientists and astronauts, you're doing pretty well. I can see The Big Bang Theory, which he guest-starred on, to come up something soon. :)
Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy. You lived long and prospered.

Happy Valentine's Day!!! :)
Feb. 14th, 2015 09:46 amHi, luvs! Happy Valentine's Day! Love you all! :)
Today, of course you should send love to the people you care about, but give yourself a little love, too. We all are too hard on ourselves sometimes. Take a look at a story you wrote and say to yourself, "You know, that isn't half-bad." Same for art or anything else creative that you do.
I'm giving myself the gift of luxury of time today. No chores, just fun. I plan on attending a little Valentine get-together later and tomorrow is when I change decorations for St. Patrick's Day and spring. Decorations as in decorative figurines, stuff to hang on the walls, etc.
My mother was big on holidays and we always celebrated each one. She did extra for Halloween and Christmas (and even had a couple of ceramic turkeys for Thanksgiving!) but even smaller holidays like Valentine's Day saw ceramic angels with hand-painted hearts on their clothes and pretty stuff like a heart-shaped music box get center stage.
My dad was a smart man. He was always prepared every Valentine's Day with a big box of chocolates, red roses, and a nice card. He got little boxes of chocolates for my sister and me, too. :)
So have a great day! We are preparing for another blizzard here starting tonight. Situation normal. ;)

Merry Yule!!!
Dec. 21st, 2014 08:59 amA Merry Yule to all! :)
The Winter Solstice is upon us! When I woke up around 7:15 this morning, it looked like the middle of the night! ;) Cloudy and a bit rainy here, and snow showers predicted for later.
We won't be having a white Christmas this year. :( It'll be heavy rains and winds on Christmas Eve, clearing by morning. The only good thing about no snow is less worry about clearing it and driving, but the weather may still affect people's plans.
As for today, perfect day for getting all snug under my quilt and having hot pizza! :) Last weekend my sister and her husband came over to watch the game, but I'm going solo today while I watch Tom and the boys compete against the Jets.
Enjoy your day, my friends! :)
