I've nothing even remotely original to say. So I'll use the words of a film character. Sadly, when in doubt, I quote.

"Ever wish you could freeze frame a moment in your day, and look at it, and say... 'This is not my life?'"

In case I didn't text you or you don't listen to LJ voice posts -- hey, they're not for everyone -- I did find my cell phone eventually and all is well there. Also, will be switching ISPs next week, so hopefully there will be a lack of the internet issues I've had lately. Fingers crossed on this one.

As has often been the case lately, I have tons I want to update about and I can't seem to gather the words together. Hopefully soon. Will also try and catch up with my f-list and Facebook and maybe even Twitter. With all of the cleaning and organizing to do this weekend -- and with the fact that, though I've had more good days lately, I'm still not feeling great -- these are admirable goals.

I give up. I set the cell phone down somewhere and can't remember where. This time, it's on silent, and could be anywhere in the house. I'm thinking it might be in my tech vest, and I can't remember where I put that and am not about to go searching through the house for the second time in a few days. It will reveal itself when I least expect it. Like last time. On Saturday, the phone was on my pillow. In case you were wondering. You know, I only seem to post anymore to say that I've lost it, so maybe it's some sort of signal from LJ that I should update more. Yeah. Let's pretend it's that.

Found the cell phone again this morning. This happens a lot, I've noticed. At least I've found it every time I've misplaced it.

You Are Basil

You are a mild mannered person. People feel naturally calm around you.
You are warm hearted and loving. You have a close knit circle of friends and family.

You have the courage to be who you are in life, even if others disagree. You're proud of your uniqueness.
You are good at caring for and healing others. You are naturally soothing.

Stephen Fry posted this on his Twitter page -- think he got the link from someone else, but that's neither here nor there, nor is the fact that I rather like Twitter -- and I was suitably amused for about five minutes. So I share!

Get your own valentinr

As in previous years, you don't have to sign up for the website if you don't want to, but leave me messages anyway! Leave more than one, if you so desire! Leave ten! twenty! fifty! Okay, perhaps not that much love. But maybe one?

I wasn't going to do this particular post thing that's been circling for the past week or so. I seem to recollect posting something just like it over a year ago and I had only a couple of takers whom, unless you count a postcard and/or a letter, never got anything made by me. I fear posting this means I will promise but not deliver. However, now that the bandwagon is making the rounds, there's more of you out there to keep me honest on the whole thing and to demand your doodads, thingamabobs, or general widgets.

So. That being said, on with the show:

First seven people to respond to this post with the line "OOH! OOH! PICK ME!!" will get something made by me for their very own.

Conditions?

--I get to choose what I make. You can choose whether or not to be grateful. I vote grateful. But that's only if I follow through and give you the something made by me for your very own. If over six months pass and you've gotten nothing, you may feel free to send angry letters to the management.

--If you expect something in the mail, I suggest you double check with me, via e-mail or something, as to whether I have your address or not.

--I'll ask you some questions as to what you might like only if I can't think of anything on my own. But since what I make is of my choosing, I also reserve the right to not tell you what pretty pretty thing you are getting until you actually get it. In fact, chances are that the gift I make will be a surprise to you. Isn't this fun?

--You could get something very strange. I'm just saying.

--Here's the biggie, and the one you've all been waiting for: The catch is that you have to repost this in your own journal, in your own words or in mine or in someone else's. You post it in your journal and offer to make gifts for other people, just like I'm offering to make gifts for you. If you do not post this in your journal within a day of replying to my entry and I actually notice that you don't post it, I strike you from the list and you don't get a pretty pretty.

So, thems the rules. Here's the summary for anyone who just skimmed it: Respond to this post with the correct line; get stuff. Then make a post like this in your journal; other people get stuff.

You Are a Sugar Cookie

You are an expressive, creative, interesting person.

You are likely very crafty and even a bit artistic.

You're artistic in many ways - be it writing, acting, music, drawing, or painting.

You see yourself as original and unique. And you love showing people how special you are.

What Holiday Cookie Are You?

I like sugar cookies. I make sugar cookies. But, wow, that last line makes me sound pretentious, LOL. Anyhow, posting this because I was amused... and these days, I'll take my fun where I can get it.

Sen. Barack Obama is now the president-elect of the United States of America; Sen. John McCain is a patriot and a gentleman. Joe Biden won a Senate seat that he will no longer need. And I believe Sarah Palin is a pig wearing lipstick. These are the things I believe. If you were an Obama supporter, you may not like that I respect McCain. I don't care. If you were a McCain supporter, you may not like that I find Sarah Palin to be one big joke. Don't care about that, either.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, 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 in your LJ (well, if you want to) and see what your friends come up with.

You know what I find fascinating? When you go back over things you wrote and you find the lost last-minute scribblings and the detrital old documents: the stuff you completely forgot you'd ever written. Maybe even stuff you wish you could re-forget now that you've re-discovered it. Yet in the midst of every cringe-worthy story skeleton and pretentious poetic attempt, you unearth glimpses of yourself. Of course, they tend to be the hazy, crazy furtive glances that cause you to take a double-take and when you look back there's nothing there anymore. It's moved on. You move on. I dunno. I'm just saying. It's fascinating.

What Your Playing Cards Tell About Your Future

Right now you are focusing on friendships, relationships, and interpersonal connections.

Your emotions are currently tied to a close friend or confidant. You have known this person for a long time.

Your closest friend has brought you a lot of happiness and luck. The two of you have many fun memories.

The near future will bring you major disputes and arguments. Things could end in a lawsuit, a separation, or divorce.

Beware of over planning and over working right now. Not much will come of any plans you make.
