So, I finally went ahead and ordered some Lunapads.

Most of the summer, I thought about it, because it made sense; disposable menstrual pads are at best tolerable (though Always' Infinity pads are pretty awesome, but cost $10 a box), and the disposable pads and tampons decompose at about the same rate that fundamentalist Christian republicans approve of their children's marriage to flamboyant trisexual liberal atheists.

After a long talk back in August with leilawinters, who made the decision to go greener earlier this year, and after reading over the Lunapads (and Party In My Pants) site, after putting it off and being sad that I wouldn't get to use my $5 off coupon, I finally bought... well, I only bought one pad, with 4 liners. So, that's one pad and 5 liners total.

So by no means will my next (presumably next? I hope my order comes before my undoubtedly late period does) period be 100% ~green~, but hopefully part of it will be.

See, the problem with my period ( is incredibly TMI )

My dad informed me that he actually saw the end of RPM this morning (at 5am), which surprised me. I thought our shitty affiliate played RPM episodes a week late. I expected the RPM finale to play NEXT week at 5am. But, nope. I was wrong all this time.
So I decided to check my local ABC affiliate to see when they're premiering MMPR, and AH SHIT, look at what they've gone and done:



Great news for my dad, sad news for me. Funny how KSTP takes "12pm EST (check local listings)" to mean "5am CST".

Don't get me wrong... I love MMPR. And I'll try like hell to either still be up at 5am, or get up, to watch the remastered eps and see what's changed, if anything has. But damn.

ONE GOOD THING is that it probably won't get pre-empted too often. Rarely do sporting events take place at five in the morning.

Also:

HAPPY FESTIVE
NON-DENOMINATIONAL
HOLIDAY SEASON!

...XD

Seriously though, I wish you all love and happiness! ♥ I know I wish you guys that all year round, but in honor of the season, I'm sending extra love and good thoughts your way! ♥♥♥

So, I already opened my Xmas presents from Miki. Actually, I already got most of them at the end of November (new purse, new clothes, new shoes, Mir plushie, Pony flashlight). The package she sent contained a gift bag for me with 3 $10 iTunes cards. I've never bought anything from iTunes before... never really needed to. Used to scoff at the absurdity (being a child of the Napster generation :D) of PURCHASING digital music.

So i probably won't purchase music, though I will look around and see if I can find anything rare and awesome. But, maybe I'll get the Watchmen motion comic episodes.

Speaking of FRIGGEN WATCHMEN. That movie (and now the graphic novel) has become my constant companion, either in "OMG IT WAS SO COOL IN WATCHMEN WHEN--" recollections, or just in thought, OR in watching it to de-stress. I'm in the process of watching the Ultimate cut (just the movie) and the graphic novel arrived today.

I hope one day I can write a story that good. Watchmen is hands down the best superhero movie I've ever seen (even Dark Knight isn't quite as good), and it's serving as a lot of spiritual inspiration for my STILL unnamed project.

But anyway, I was going to talk about CHRISTMAS. Which probably is going to be absolutely nothing since I already have all my gifts, and so do my parents. I have one book for my dad that he doesn't know about, and that's it.

One of my mother's presents was a new, fancy ass landline phone. Why Miki sends my MOTHER expensive electronics, I don't know. My dad took one look at it from across the room and went "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?" Well, we're all adults, and I think we can handle a phone that is rapidly becoming industry standard. Well, my dad and I can, anyway.

I'm done writing. How did I used to do this every day? LJ, I'm sorry, but I can't handle long entries as much anymore. If you really care about what I'm doing, look me up on Twitter. This isn't goodbye, this is just me becoming accustomed to thinking in 160 characters or less.

Jen and Adrien got me an epic Christmas present. ( Explaining it doesn't do it justice, so have some photos! (Warning: Photo heavy!) )


Speaking of Star Trek related presents, ( Sakura and I got Becky a Captain Kirk barbie for Christmas. )

I have, like, ten photos from DTAC. I'm going to be honest: I mainly went to see people and run around in a giant purple costume badly wrapped in Christmas lights.



Have I mentioned that the lights played music? And also blinked in time to the music? XD

( DTAC and GENGAR IN LIGHTS photos under the cut! )

The immortal classic:

HAPPY THE BIRTHDAY OF JESUS CHRIST THE GIRL

It's 2:30am. Can you guess what I just finished baking?



( If you guessed 'Gingerbread Redshirts', you guessed correctly! )
