I've got my first bid on the house... and if it's the only one by this Thursday, I'm taking it. =) And now, a quick look at why my cat and I are in the business of irritating each other. And before you get too judgemental, just remember, she started it. EDIT: looks like YouTube is taking a while to process it, but it should be up in a while. G |

| Jul. 8th, 2008 @ 09:31 pm INFP-INFP relationships | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| There have been a number of posts about INFP relationships with specific other types, but what about relatonships with other INFPs? Just wondering what other peoples' experiences are. Do you find yourself particularly drawn to other INFPs? What are some of the positive and negative aspects of INFP-INFP relationships? Do you find that a person of your same type doesn't provide enough contrast as the other types, or that you relate to other INFPs a lot better than other types? I guess this is a general question about all kinds of relationships, but I'm especially interested in the romantic kind. I'm currently in a (romantic) relationship with an INFP and it's going rather well. ^_^ We don't argue much, I love how he has like a million different interests, and also that he's very caring and appreciates my sensitivity. |

| More gaming goodness! ( The Fiona Affair ) ( Riddles in the Woods ) ( Amber/Harry Potter crossover ) ( Quotes! ) All-in-all, a great con. Next year I plan to make up for what an enormous slacker I was this year by running at least one game, possibly two (the next chapter of "Nine Rednecks", plus a tween-to-teen-friendly game if it looks like we'll have interested players). ETA: Also, new icon! *Felice rolls her eyes* |

| Jul. 8th, 2008 @ 07:56 pm Random fandom comments: Wiki Wednesday, Twitter, Fan History, Wikia, Quizilla | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| If you're a fandom person who does wikis and lives in the Chicago area, tomorrow, July 9, is Wiki Wednesday, Chicago. It is a little social gathering over coffee that any one interested in wikis can attend. :) I'd love to see some fandom folks there. And if you know anyone who might be interested in attending, please let them know. Has fandom begun to have components move to Twitter? There seem to be more people fandom on my FList on using it every day. I'd generally class them as professionals or quasi professionals in the entertainment business, anime folks, music fandom folks and people who don't define their fannish experience through LiveJournal. I'm on it and it is already changing how I view fandom. If anyone has time and interest, there are a few articles on Fan History that I'd really love help with fixing for a variety of reasons: FanFiction.Net because it is biased and badly skewed and hugely dated, Pseudonym names in fandom because it possibly presents a very limited perspective, Money in fandom because it is dated and biased and slanted to a single perspective, Media fandom because it just feels to brief. Has there been any real response in regards to the Wikia's new style situation? I remember a number of people talking about moving but nothing seems to have come of that. Anyone watching the Quizilla policy change and look change fall out? Looks like they took a traffic hit but recovered. I've seen some movement on a small scale of users towards LiveJournal, FanLib, FanFiction.Net, MySpace and another site I can't recall. Are they actually impacting any of those communities in terms of the culture they bring with them? |

| Jul. 8th, 2008 @ 07:43 pm it turns out that i get to go to comic-con after all | |||
|---|---|---|---|
I've been going crazy the last month or so, trying to figure out a way to go to Comic-Con. It was about as easy as getting the Babel Fish, but I refused to give up, and earlier today, I finally put the junk mail on top of the satchel. I am actually going to Comic-Con this year! I'll be there from Thursday, July 24 until Saturday, July 26. I'm on a publishing panel with Pocketbooks on Thursday called "Star Trek without a blueprint." I'll be there representing volume three of the Star Trek manga, which I think comes out next week. This is an exciting time for Star Trek, filled with uncertainty and opportunity. I think it's safe to say that there's a lot riding on the new movie, and how it fares will likely affect all of the ancillary Star Trek markets, like conventions, novels, comics, manga, etc.* I don't know if that's what "without a blueprint" means, but if it does, it'll be an interesting conversation. (Of course, it could also mean that CBS is giving much more freedom to people who want to create within the Star Trek universe, rather than forcing them to adhere to a pretty narrow blueprint. That will also be an interesting conversation. My point is that it's going to be interesting, and certainly worth the price of hotel, airline travel, and all the other expenses associated with coming to the show just to watch a one hour panel before you turn around and go right back home.**) The rest of the show, I'll be set up with my friend Rich and his partners in crime***, who are letting me crash their booth. We haven't finalized my signing schedule, but once we do (and I know the name and number of their booth) I'll update this post. This will be the only convention I'm attending this summer other than PAX, so I'm really, really excited and grateful that Marco from TokyoPop, and Rich and his partners from awesomeland were able to help me thwart the cleaning robots. * I remember hearing, during a negotiation for a convention some years ago, that Enterprise was doing so poorly with the fans that it had really hurt convention turnout. I don't know if that's true or not, but I heard it so many times from so many different people, it was either a well-worn talking point or legit. If the new movie doesn't do as well as everyone hopes, we could be hearing about the death of Star Trek again, though I've come to believe that Star Trek is a mighty zombie in science fiction that simply can't be killed. There's a good reason it's still relevant and inspiring to legions of fans forty years after it debuted, you know. ** This statement is completely false. Except for the interesting part. It's absolutely going to be interesting. Also, "interesting." ***I'm not sure if Rich has minions, but if he does, I'm sure that they will be there, too. Hey, maybe I'll fill out a minion application! |

| Jul. 8th, 2008 @ 05:14 pm TBR Report, Part 1 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Apparently the universe owed me a favor: I came home from work early (i.e. right at 5 pm) to mow, because I'd been out of town all weekend, and when upon getting home yesterday evening I peeked into the backyard to see how bad it was I discovered that the neighbors had left a car parked on their half of the yard. That seemed like a good enough reason to procrastinate mowing, but the lawn was tall enough that I really HAD to do it today. And there are thunderstorms forecast to start kind of any minute now, so... here I am. Except... it's already mowed. Neighbor apparently decided to do it this afternoon. And now I have an unexpectedly free evening, wheee! That means it's time for... ...THE TBR REPORT. ( Slot 1: The exciting conclusion of the Swan series ) ( Swan quotes! ) ( Slot 2: Night in the Lonesome October ) ...and now I need food. Report continues a bit later.... |

Current Location: Home
Current Mood:  about to sign off due to stormCurrent Music: Moulin Rouge! Soundtrack "El Tango De Roxanne" Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test... Outcast Genius
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius. Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject). Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius. Congratulations! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Professional Wrestling Love & Sexuality America/Politics Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST Take The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test at HelloQuizzy PS - I also appear to be: Dawn Summers 55% amorality, 64% passion, 82% spirituality, 64% selflessness Dawn is a person driven by her love for her friends and her desire to make a difference. Perhaps you are, too. You're willing to do whatever is necessary to do what is right for those you care about, and sometimes this can get you in a little bit of trouble. Most of all, however, you have a heart of gold. Congratulations! I'm still trying to figure out whether that's a good thing, a bad thing, or a hilariously apt thing, seeing as how she's the person on the show who isn't exactly entirely real . . . |

| Jul. 8th, 2008 @ 02:09 pm Series 4 Plushies | |||
|---|---|---|---|

Just found a web page that said that Neo Pet Plushies will now be carried at Toys R Us, KB Toys, and WalMart as well as Target. They also said that Series 3 will officially be released July 10th, and Series 4 is anticipated for a September release date. Series 4 may include: Electric Gelert Halloween Acara Halloween Jubjub Halloween Kacheek Pink Korbat Purple Kau Rainbow Blumaroo Rainbow Chomby Rainbow Woky Red Ixi Split Grundo Spotted Mynci Striped Usul Yellow Flotsam This site includes pictures and what the possible virtual items are... Strange how Neopets hasn't updated their catalog page yet to show pictures, nor have they made a big announcement about the new Plushies. |
