A random page I found when searching around Steampunk stuff today. Thought Joy and others would be interested. This guy is taking seeds from 2nd and 3rd gen Hibaku trees and giving them to people who are interested in growing the trees. Hibaku trees are trees that lived and survived the a-bomb in Hiroshima.

If you are reading this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

So instead of everything I wanted to do, I've accomplished very little. Which has been the norm for me lately.
To do:
Take out the trash (cause I have like 3 bags of it >.<)
Deposit my birthday check
Go grocery shopping so I stop eating out because I have no food
Things I've accomplished:
Talked to V
Replied to/made/edited some LJ posts
Read 2 and sent 2 replies to Antilles
As we see, my lists are not really panning out too well to accomplish anything of actual substance.

Instead of just taking kota's idea and going out of touch for the weekend, I accidentally expanded it to a week. XD Playing catchup today.
So since Destrie and I can't make it to the rescheduled invasion of Crying Heavens next week, we visited Ft. Myers yesterday, had a good time, remembered sunscreen, talked, watched fighting, etc. etc. ( Good news/not so bad bad newsCollapse )
Got back late, had to stop for coffee along the way, gps is a sob that led us to 2 starbucks about 7 miles off the interestate that were inside a mall (which were obviously closed at 8pm) in Port Charlotte. We ended up stopping in Venice. Barrista there gave us a taste of Salted Carmel (or the only way to make it now), which is the chocolate espresso truffle with toffee nut in it. Pretty awesome, I might go see if they have it, along with the new size, vento or some shit. Apparently Tampa is the test city for the size.
Found a new foodblog (cause I need more to read? Ahh well, I save them up and read many entries at once) Edible Joy.
I sometimes forget how expensive it is to move, let alone move cross country. >_< Part of this morning/afternoon was emailing my financial aid officer to see wtf was going on (hadn't heard anything since I gave her my FAFSA a month ago), and looking to see the prices on cars/SUVs to rent for a trip. *sigh* Round about a grand at least. Not counting gas, food, sleeping. And if I go alone/quasi-alone my mom said it might be nice to stop in Montana to visit my aunt. Meh... we'll see.

My enthusiams is nil. I dunno, maybe I'm just tired from the sunburn and hospital, dunno. just a bad case of the blahs I guess. Haven't felt like doing much, haven't been playing my video game lately unless someone needs something. Did do some A&S work, we'll see how it all turns out, I'll post pixs after I charge up my new batteries
Ft Myers was fun, good chance Todd will come visit next week if finances will work out, and if Eddie gets the contract to me, hopefully by the time Crying Heavens wants to have it's war (March 7) they'll be a part of the Kingdom, maybe even give CH their upgraded chapter status.
Sunburn sucks, face, hands and better part of the neck. >.< ahh well
Talked to Noc and V, they're doing good, 2 days without internet, V wanted to talk just to have human contact outside of Tom and the twins. XD They should be back up and with the land of the electronic tomorrow.
via the chat last night, Damien (kestrel keep's Damien) and I may be moving together (not moving in, just moving) to save monies, since he wants to head back to Seattle for school at UW. Bonus on top of that is that he said he can pick me up for Amtgard so I don't have to find some crazy way there. yays! Now I'll know 2 people in Seattle.
Tomorrow morning is mom's 2nd PD's surgery to find out why it's not working. >.< She's so nervous because if they can't get it working, she's going to be on hemodialysis which means she's pretty well stuck at home or on very short vacation trips for the rest of her life/till transplant.
And I got a PM on esam asking for my mailing address for a present to the monarchs and their people from Roisin of Salt Wars. Hmm taking a page from Joy's idea book are we?

He did the other grey paintings I think we liked, and he does paper copies of that one moonscape Joy, woooo
I'm all over the place right now. Finishing my taxes, thinking of Althing proposals and finishing a email to Bunch, need to call Destrie back, got a instance run at 7pm, and just got my call from AiS to let me know the committee officially accepted me (take that bitches, at least someone accepts me for who I am! *sobs*) so I'm a little crazy right now. weeeeeeeee
