- @jetset_ was really fun! had a good time… best friend @dredgly even won one of the rounds. wooo winning! #
- @jetset_ New Museum today. tomorrow w/ @dredgly, Tuesday w/ Yager, Wednesday don't know but I leave in the afternoon. #
- might go to Union Square today too and pick up a book to read on the train on Tuesday. Don't know. #
- Seriously, though; why is this girl's iPhone passcode '5555'? Worst code ever. #
- Oh, sorry; it's '1155'… you know, because that's so much better. Ugh. #
- Mirror Carrousel at the New Museum http://t.co/2uOEJ9m3 #
- Okay; timing the line for the slide. Got in line at 1:15. #
- You must not use the stairs while wearing Upside-Down Goggles. http://t.co/01j8CkXn #
- Will get on around 2:35. so how long is that? #
- @Zekor obviously. #
- "However, our victory was like a joke that only makes the person who tells it laugh." –Who's Afraid of Representation #
- @Dredgly hug hug hug #
- I think… I'm the most liberal person I know?… is that… right? surely there's SOMEone around here more liberal than I am. #
- @Zekor usually I think socially, but I think I meant generally. #
- @Mousapelli you're watching Sherlock, too? omg, I couldn't breathe watching the last ep. wtf oh my god oh my god. #
- Wouldn't be quite the same, now would it, if I didn't almost miss the train? #
- The lack of fences in Pennsylvania country will probably always freak me out if I haven't gotten used to it by now, won't it? #
- Trains are awesome. #
- okay, shutting down the computer for the trip to JFK. T_T /brb crying #
- don't wanna go. #
- On the AirTrain. New York subways are always an ordeal with luggage. At least here everyone else has luggage, too. #
- At the gate. #
- Sitting in my seat, 19F… the window, of course. #
- Shutting down my phone. See you in LAX. #
- On the ground at LAX. Missing NYC (@dredgly!) already. ;_; #
- @Zekor lol you mean you missed me. #
- At home. Just washed my hair. In my own bed. It's bittersweet. #
- RT @TFLN (314): hey this is Madison. you gave me your number last night and asked me to remind you that you didn't fuck anyone. you okay? #
- @Dredgly yaaaay. #
- back to the grind today. a short shift, though, and in the evening, so I think I can handle it… though it IS a Friday, so… #
- @donnatalarico less than an hour away. I'd love to take you to dinner and/or have you meet my family (my mom cooks awesome food, too)! #
- @donnatalarico or whatever. ^_^ let me know. #
- @Zekor @Dredgly I think she means she doesn't want snow. #
- Skeleton you are my friend, but you are made of bone. And you have got no flesh and blood running through you to help protect the bone. #
- Skeleton, we have been friends for years & you have seen me through some trials & tribulations & some tears, but everybody thinks I'm weird. #
- seriously, though, why is #YouKnowYoureDrunkWhen trending? ugh. uuuuuuuugh. #
- Not going to say falling down the stairs at Ditmars Blvd. last Wednesday was fun or anything, but also not gonna lie: this bruise is awesome #
- @Dredgly haha you didn't notice the limping? lol I was fine, obviously, but damn did it hurt. and like I said, this bruise is pretty sweet. #
- @Dredgly oh no! hope everything turns out okay. I know there was miscommunication (at the very least) at the beginning.
# - @Zekor I wasn't *planning* on performing the experiment at all. I already knew it works just fine. After all, I can't fly. #
- @Zekor unlikely. #

Is it strange
—a short poem for A.Y.
Is it strange that I
miss you more
right after I’ve
seen you
than after the
ache has settled
a little?

Spelling
by V.E. on January 9th, 2012
filed under meta, words, writing, wtf
This morning at 6:21 AM PT, I was left a (spam) comment on my post about Strawberry Eggs by someone calling themselves Samira Stoots (email address Kornfield[at]gmail[dot]com—yes, really). It reads
Certainly I like your web-site, but you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform you. However I will surely come back again!
Um, no; sorry. I’m laughing at you right now. Not to be mean, but… well, yes, actually… I am being mean here: everyone makes mistakes (gasp! even me, heaven forbid!), but I’m not the kind of person who makes spelling mistakes on a regular basis. I’m a writer; I should hope I don’t make a lot of spelling errors, you think?
Anyway, I’m deleting that comment, but I thought I’d share the laughs with you all, too.

- Happy New Year, everyone. May it be more enlightening than the last. #
- is it possible to be addicted to something and not have touched the stuff in years and years? #
- @Dredgly isn't… that kind of depressing, though? I mean, because they'll never be able to shake that label? #
- Tournament of Roses Parade #
- #QuotesOutOfContext "It's because you're a gentleman… except for all the penis stuff." #
- oooooh, pretty. "Year-long exposure of Toronto skyline produces 'dreamy' image" http://t.co/aVINiaan #
- okay, really. no more people. #
- also, someone remind me to get some B12 vitamins when I'm out next time… which will be, like, never, if I can help it. #
- @mandyvandeven wow, that was really good, actually. #
- @pikoeri okay, I laughed. #
- RT @pikoeri (1) Go to Google Maps (2) Click "Get Directions" (3) Click "Walking" (4) Start: "the shire" (5) End: "mordor" (6) Hit button #
- @TalkPolitical $23.03 per hour is a living wage; $5.15 per hour is not. #
- I think I might be alive. #
- @jetset_ I <3 you. #
- @donnatalarico what? really? where are you going? #
- I think if I did nothing else, I could finish The Complete Sherlock Holmes before taking off for NYC in five days… #
- but as it stands, I'll have to settle for finishing "The Sign of Four" and a couple of the short stories. that seems accomplishable… ^_^;; #
- @Zekor are you still up? #
- @Zekor trying to figure out what I'm going to be doing in NYC… and if I can afford it. AIM, please? #
- does anyone else feel like you're rushed all the time? like you're always trying to catch up and/or just barely keep your head above water? #

This entry is part of 12 Moments in Anime 2011.
#02 is finally having found out, after years and years (I’m not kidding), that that one anime “that wasn’t Utena“ was actually Dead Leaves! Thank two excellent Retro and Pandy cosplayers and some random con-goers at Anime Expo who knew the film better than I did. Now, here’s the Japanese trailer. And yes, it’s about as bad as it seems.
