Ganked from someone off friendsfriends:
1. Give me a list of THREE (or more) stories that I would NEVER write.
2. I will pick one of the story suggestions and attempt to write a snippet. (I can't promise anything--depends on the suggestions. But I'm willing to try almost anything, the crackier the better.)
3. Spread the meme on your own LJ if you want.

The good news:
The Avon jacket is not lost in the mail.
The bad news:
It's still in Colorado (hopefully we will figure out why tomorrow) and will not be here in time for ComicCon. I'll wear it to the Star Trek con in Vegas though. Not happy about it, but I am relieved it hasn't been lost or something. Something to look forward to coming home to, I guess. Sigh.
I'm off to dinner now. |

| "Annus Mirabilis" by Philip Larkin |
[Jul. 24th, 2008|08:40 am] |
Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three
(which was rather late for me) -
Between the end of the Chatterley ban
And the Beatles' first LP.
Up to then there'd only been
A sort of bargaining,
A wrangle for the ring,
A shame that started at sixteen
And spread to everything.
Then all at once the quarrel sank:
Everyone felt the same,
And every life became
A brilliant breaking of the bank,
A quite unlosable game.
So life was never better than
In nineteen sixty-three
(Though just too late for me) -
Between the end of the Chatterley ban
And the Beatles' first LP. |

Dear Gods of the United States Postal Service,
Please, please deliver my Avon jacket today. I will sacrifice some old 32 cent stamps in your honor, if you do.
Believing In You For Today,
Van.
In other news, I am going to lunch and then, finally, getting a hair cut. Woo. |

My latest modest offerings:
Stamp sheets!
Click: Marilyn!
Click: Alfred!
As always, I tried to inject a bit of whimsy into my text
(albeit pretty corny).
And, as always, the Flister Special still applies.

Whelp.
Today looks like an all nighter day. Which is kind of good. I need to be on a more normal schedule for ComicCon, anyway. And, you know, my all-nighter days are probably limited, now that I'm fast approaching 30. >_>
Still, it's a good day. I managed to read two not-horrible Avon/Vila fics written by people I don't know! That's practically Christmas, as far as I'm concerned. <3 Plus, I started rewatching Blake's 7 with srichard. ♥ We got through "Time Squad." Oh, I love my crew. I really, really do. I might even love fandom a little right now. Shh.
Off to Dennys, I think. Maybe I'll try to catch Wall-E this morning, to kill some time. |

*PHEW!* ~ Finally figured out WHY I could not get the calculated shipping module to appear on my auctions.
I'm so relieved that it now automatically shows you exactly how much shipping you pay.
Next items?
I have some old commemorative stamp sheets ~ two Alfred Hitchcock, one Marilyn Monroe, and two sealed 1960's "Celebrate The Century" sets. That's the one featuring 15 stamps, including Yellow Submarine, Star Trek, Woodstock and the Peace Sign, among others. I may chicken out and sell only one of those, man! ;D |

In utterly lolleraious news, yesterday my mom opened a cupboard and managed to break a big black coffee mug of mine (that I don't didn't like to use because the coffee would be cold by the time I finished it). And then, today, I broke the mug that she bought me for father's day. *cries*
Wtf. How do you break THREE MUGS in three days? I broke the second one the EXACT SAME WAY I broke the first one. We have a crapload of crap in our house and my mom stacked a crapload more in the hallway. One of the boxes had the little flap hanging out and I was carrying my coffee mug from my room to the kitchen, holding it in my left hand, which is exactly the level of the flap. You don't see the flap, so it catches the mug and knocks it from your hand. And since the hall is marble tiled, it breaks. Sigh.
It's so stupid, too, because as I was carrying it, I was thinking, "Lol I must've been pretty out of it yesterday to run into that box and--fuck." Needless to say, I moved the fucking box. =_= (I didn't throw a tantrum, either, though maybe I felt like it. Especially since I had to clean up mug shards before I had my morning coffee. Sigh.)
I'm pretty pissed about all this. @_@;;;; Ironically, after I told my mom I broke the first one, she told her friend who gave it to her, and said friend gave her another mug just like it. (Well, much uglier and it says MERRY CHRISTMAS on it, but it's the same size, which is what matters. plz don't let me break it!)
Anyway. Maybe I should take this as a sign I should cut back on my coffee intake?
Naahhhhh.
Though perhaps I should stop investing in ceramic mugs. Sigh. |

 Go to this eBay page and see the other enlargeable pics of this li'l guy!
If you're curious about all the weird objets du WTF that I'll be offering in future days, keep checking the eBay shtuffs link in the lefthand column of my LJ recent posts page.
*psstt ~ Beatle items may appear later*
Hopefully I can make a little pocket change to help me out with our dreaded transition.
click for large image
Thanks, guys! :D
I'm gonna try to make future auctions amusing ~ so even if you're not interested in buying my crap, you might get a larf or two for clicking over. With this one, the only thing remotely grinworthy is his enlargeable butt shot. No, the pic is enlargeable, not his butt. Although that would be interesting, n'est ce pas?
~*~ ♥ ~*~
FLISTERS ARE SPECIAL TO ME ~
Anyone on my Friends List who is sweet enough to buy one of my eBay thingies will get something extra ~ we can discuss WHAT ahead of time in emails. I've got sooo much stuff to get rid of!

In response to my post here, "Anonymous" (that omnipresent brave soul who posts scathingly opinionated comments but doesn't reveal his/her identity when doing so ~ as if it made any difference), commented:

I'm not dissing May in my ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) with_thebeatles post ~~ I simply have very little interest in her because she seems so disinterested in Brian.

Tonight I posted [chapter nine] of my Tarrant fic. It has one chapter to go, and then I am finished with it! Which is, strangely, a little sad. I've grown to like this Tarrant I've created. To lay him to rest, so to speak, is a bit sad. I don't want to have to go back to playing with the old Tarrant. I've never returned to the same universe in fics before but this one might bear revisiting. Then again, I always say that and never do. So, we'll see. Anyway, I'm also glad it'll be over. I can start something new, or play with some shorter stuff while I gear up for something longer. We'll see. We'll see.
I think I need to take in a heavy dose of canon again, though. Anyone want to watch some Blake's 7 with me? XD Sigh.
In other news, while I enjoyed "Dr. Horrible" I do not think it's the best thing since sliced bread, alas. Personally, I'm shocked that Joss has gone and made me dislike a Nathan Fillion character. What an utter tool Captain Hammer is. (Ha. Ha.) Oh well.
Also, I guess there was a new Batman movie released or something? Bah. I still haven't seen Hancock or Wall-E and I'm much more interested in those films. >_>
I am out of chapstick. :(
Sims 2 may have taken over my life. I'd post caps but I think it'd make most of you sick with the schmoop. Horribly, it really makes me want fluffy AU Avon/Vila fic, ahahaha. Fortunately, I think playing the Sims is getting it out of my system so I don't have to inflict such a travesty upon my friends. XD
I think I figured out how chapter ten opens, so I'm going to go write a little. |

That is, if I hadn't just "settled for what I could get" and I had had enough self-esteem to eventually end up being married to a Jewish guy of my dreams)
