My cup runneth over

[uberreiniger]

First of all, I am totally all YaY! *cums* over the fact that I now have not 60! Not 70! Not 80! not 90! But ONE HUNDRED icon slots to use! I found out at 10:50 tonight right before I had to come to work so I didn't get a chance to upload new icons, but when I get home... oooohhh baby! This icon whore is going to be ridden hard and put away wet!

Speaking of wetness, I took Mel on her first outing to the plaza and showed her all the beautiful fountains for which Kansas City is known. The weather was perfect and it was just the quintesential day for enjoying the plaza in all its Seville-inspired beauty. I think it's the first time I've ever been on the Plaza and received no snooty stares from uppity rich people... and this was even after daring to park my Corolla in between a Beemer and a Mercedes-Benz! Anyway, most of our Plaza time was spent in the Barnes & Noble, which was nice because I haven't gotten to go in that B&N very often and it was very fun, even if Mel was ready to publicly disown me for repeatedly doing the Happy Banana dance in the elevator.

While we were there I picked up an amazing little book called What God Has Joined Together: A Christian Case for Gay Marriage. I haven't been able to put it down since I got it. Now whenever I go to argue my case that God *doesn't* dislike gay people any more than any other people, I will have a very well-researched scholastic reference to back it up. It essentially says what I've been saying for years, how the supposedly anti-gay passages in the Bible refer to specific types of sexual brutallity and not to homosexuality as an orientation, and how some of the words that have been translated to such things as "homosexual", "sodomite", or "male porstitute," etc, were only translated as such because the Greek word they were translating had no equivalent in modern usage or because its' meaning has been completely lost to time, but seems based on its components like it might have something to do with male sexuallity. Anyway, it's a brisk, informative read and I would urge anyone with an interest in the issue to read it.

I need to say thanks to a lot of people. HUGE thanks to zombiecowboy and Lesley for going to a lot of trouble to host a wonderful birthday party/Mel's welcoming party Sunday night. I got not one, but TWO cakes - gourmet ones at that with fancy-schmancy fondent frosting - and we are still revelling in their buttery sweetness. Thanks to megiloth, and yaqui for being kind enough to take a break from trolling cartoon communities and keeping the city's power running respectively to attend said party, and thanks to thanis_bloodsto for not falling off the Earth for a month this time! Thanks to cygny for the sweet, wonderful card that arrived in the mail today, and thanks to elvinborn for going out of her way to tell me how hot she thinks certain men's biceps are what happened on SciFriday this past weekend. I would also like to take a moment to give a happy birthday shout out to renfestlady whose special day was yesterday. Sorry I didn't know about it or I would have shouted it out sooner!

Oh God, this only proves in what direction my mind wanders when reading your posts, but I actually read "ONE HUNDRED icon sluts to use" ^^;;; Hehe! Glad you and Mel-chan are having such a good time and that everyone showed Mel a warm welcome although I hadn't expected anything else from your friends ^_^

As for the card, you're very welcome :)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's going to take me hours after I get home to fill all these sluts! There are so many I don't know where to begin! And I still need to spend time with Mel this morning too! :D *whew!*

We've been having a wonderful, magical time so far. I keep looking over my shoulder, waiting for real life to set in at any moment.

Me? Trolling politicartoons? Nooooo...

Happy 30th, bro!!

Ssshh! I'm only 29. I've got one more year before I'll start needing regular prostate exams!

[donkeyjon.livejournal.com]

The regular prostate exams are what keeps me getting out of bed in the morning. I try to get one a week, just to be sure.

[megiloth.livejournal.com]

Never can be too safe I suppose.

[megiloth.livejournal.com]

I thought it was 80??? Looks like I better be stocking up on the Astroglide. Can I borrow some of yours?

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

*iz totally proud of the drooling included in SciFiFriday recaps* O:-D
I'll try to get BSG done tonight. last week's is just gone. I callously overwrote the file when I started this week's collection. *facepalm* THere is usually less of the arm porn in BSG, so you'll be much safer ;P

but first, I must at least start on the filling of the shiny new icon spaces!!! i'm such an icon whore that i think there were tears in my eyes when i discovered that I got them for free. just a couple. I didn't weep or anything.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

I was hoping you'd use the Eowyn/Dancing Banana icon if you commented since we were talking about you when I started doing the banana dance in the elevator :p I actually thought the arm luving was fun. I tease because I luv, after all.

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

alas, he has not yet been reuploaded in celebration of the more icons. I've spent HOURS slogging through the skip=220 of my flist instead of playing with the icons. and instead of recapping BSG :(

that is of the good. I figure you must not be too freaked by it because you continue to read my commentary, which almost always include such fangirlish idiocy. :D

until the banana is reinstated, the Doctor would like to dance for you

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

that is of the good. I figure you must not be too freaked by it because you continue to read my commentary, which almost always include such fangirlish idiocy. :D

Just so long as you allow me the right to ooh and aah over the many fine females of Sci Friday as well :)

And thanks Doctor. You are on top of the game as usual.

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

I am a firm believer in equal opportunity squee. and there are some gorgeous women on SciFiFridays.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

And that icon is so gorgeous I may just have to steal it!

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

Our Lizzeh is brutal with those flirty looks and catty grins. Shep is puddy in her hands
my icons are pretty much steal at will, just make you sure you credit. (unless they are made by me that is, in which case they are probably not so stealable) /ramble

We all know that 100 spaces looks really shiny, but it won't take us long to realize that we really need 150 to make things right. but it makes it so hard to pick an icon every time you post! *loves*

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

found him!!

the bliss that I just found uploading all those icons is absurd. and *gasp* I have spaces left over!!!!!!

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

I know! Isn't this great?

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

I am filled with uncontrollable glee. or would be if i wasn't so very sleepy. I get to go on an icon hunt this week!! and actulaly upload newbies imediately!! without any of the others being sacrificed!!!

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

I fear I am already in trouble as I have had so many old favorites I just haven't had room for, plus so many icons that have been waiting in the qeue for their bite at the apple for months now that I may not even have room for new icons I hunt down! Oh well, I knew this was going to happen.

[mellifera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We need to get together soon. We missed you on Sunday.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

We definately all need to hang soon. It must happen, and pronto. I still need to show Mel the Independence Barnes & Noble. Maybe you could meet us out there sometime?
