The only syrup I'm sipping tonight is cough syrup :/

My friending meme, the one I just sort of threw together and launched at you guys, is still going pretty strong! As is this one. GO. FRIEND. BE MERRY.

AND HELLO TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS FROM BOTH OF THOSE MEMES! I promise not to scare you away... right away, anyway. XD

There is this sticky post that may help you get to know me/add me elsewhere and next entry I'll do some sort of "get to know me" meme that'll help, too.


It's New Year's Eve and I had plans for the first time in my life but since everyone in my house is sick with this super-flu thing I figured I'm needed at home. I think I'm finally catching the virus though, because I'm achy and my throat hurts. :/ My sister's working though, so there will be a lot of music happening in here. Just me and the dogs, OH YEAHHHHH.


AH 2010 I'M GOING TO MISS YOU. 2009 was so awesome and I was sad to see it go. But 2010 was the year of screenwriting! playwriting! creative writing! stage managing! DC! drunky times! concerts (outside and in)! Boston (♥)! Gay Bars! Quidditch! television production! charity events! I'm getting a little misty just thinking of it, not even going to lie.

When it came to the media challenge of the year, I failed miserably with the movies and worst with the games (;_;) this year, but reading-wise... is up to your interpretation. I went hardcore on manga and I... read a lot of the NYTimes on my phone? I'M SMART, TRUST ME. Also, I sort of... forgot about the movies after a while. I was so busy I went back and looked through my Miso account for some round-about dates on the last few months. So that may not be as accurate as last year's. Whoops?

I think if I get a Kindle I'd be more enticed to read. I can throw all the stuff I want to read on there and I'll see it as a checklist. I can't buy anything else until I finish alll the stuff on it! The iPad comes with too many games/apps and would be a distraction. For that I could just read stuff on my computer, where the internet is just as much of a distraction.
