super sam!

what was supposed to be a quiet 4 hour work day turned into 8 hours haha. I feel the need to purchase a red cape and stamp PTH on the back so I can be "SUPER PTH!", flying from branch to branch in a single bound.

blu_harvest ROXORS! Not only did he ask how I was feeling after reading my blog today, but he picked up a "Who's Your Daddy?" Darth Vader poster for me over the weekend!!! I am so spoiled!



My desk at home is a disaster area. Toys and books and my scanner are all over the floor. I should really take a picture because it is out of control. I need to finish scanning the 'art of star wars' books I checked out so I can send some of the pics to spitefairy so we can use them for sw_challenge (which, btw, you all need to join...if only to vote on icons so you can break the damn 5-way ties that seem to happen each week!).

GoDaddy.com has not let me upload the website yet. Grrrrr. I have great plans for the new webspace that has been set aside for "orangerful.com" but alas I cannot access it!! Not only will I have all my icons, but I think I'm going to catalog my current collectibles so I can show everyone how pretty they are.

jimithingy's birthday is next week. I'm attempting to brainstorm shopping ideas...none of which I'm really satisfied with yet. *sigh* he needs to be scarily obsessed with something like me so I can just buy him stuff like that haha.

Hmmm, I had something else to say but now I've forgotten it...patron asked me a question, can you believe it? Right in the middle of my blogging session! the nerve! haha. Ah well, it will come back to me later, I'll realize it was lame, and then I'll not post it.

EDIT I remembered!!! Harry Potter midnight madness! It looks like Borders and Barnes&Nobles are both doing events for the night of (july 15th). Who wants to come with me?? Please....someone...anyone? B&N starts their party at 8 and Borders starts at 9. I figure I'll call them and see if they reccomend pre-ordering the book there before coming to the party or what. But this sounds like it could be fun!

DUDE!!!!!!!!! You know I want to do the Harry Potter Midnight Madness thing! you have to get me details!!!!!!

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

OK, hun... I'll go join. But I sure as heck won't be posting any of my own because a) I hardly have time to make them, and b) they'll pale in comparison to yours. ;D

[destertale.livejournal.com]

I've got a friend that has webspace up for grabs. I think she'd be willing to hook you up. Let me know. =)

[destertale.livejournal.com]

Also, I might be up for HP Midnight madness. I'm off that day, and have a wedding to go to on the 16th, but it's for my cousin, and he and his wife-to-be are both total geeks too, so I'm thinking HP as a wedding present. (She's already posted a pout in her LJ about not getting the book because of her wedding and how that was probably screwed up priorities. LOL)

I'm so excited about Harry Potter.. my boyfriend pre-ordered the book for me for my birthday! ^_^ My friend jediagent is dressing up for it, too.. ^_^

[blu-harvest.livejournal.com]

I'm totally up for it! AT first I thought I couldn't but my schedule has gotten flipped up and smacked down lately so now I can. Which one is the consensus tilting toward?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

well, I KNEW you wanted to! hahaha. Do you have a preferences over Annapolis or Columbia, or Borders or Barnes&Nobles?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

well, you can always enter just for the fun of it. I won some contests with non-pretty icons just because they were funny (my Luke dangling from the spire on Bespin with the text "I can see my X-Wing from Here!" comes to mind).

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

GoDaddy fixed their issues last night and I got half of my website uploaded. I need to fix it as I had it set up wrong in FrontPage and the links are going to all the wrong places within my site. Oops haha. But that you for the offer! If I somehow manage to fill up my GoDaddy account, I'll let you know hahha.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

do you have a preferences between Columbia or Annapolis OR Borders or Barnes and NObles? (right now it looks like it will be you, me, damian, and mathew.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

i know, i remember reading about it in your LJ and I was so jealous! But part of me wants to do the midnight madness thing. I'm so afraid the midnight parties will become a thing of the past with world of internet making everything available for preorder and same day delivery. Gotta embrace it while you can, ya know?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I'll ask you the same question I asked Damian and Laurel - do you have a preference between Annapolis or Columbia OR Borders or Barnes&Noble?

I might try and spin by the B&N on my way home from babysitting tomorrow to see if I can get the skinny on what they plan to do (especially since they are starting an hour earlier than Borders)

[dstntp1lgr1m.livejournal.com]

You pick.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

well, I'm babysitting in Annapolis tomorrow, so I'll spin by B&N to see what kind of events they are planning. Technically, that's probably the furthest away for everyone, so I'll see if it sounds like it's worth our time to go the literal extra mile. :-)

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. I still have to pick the book up at midnight though. Well, midnight:01 ^_^ I'm really looking forward to the party.. hehe

[dstntp1lgr1m.livejournal.com]

kewl beenz.

[destertale.livejournal.com]

Well, preference would have to be Columbia, since that's WAY closer for me, and I know the area better. As for the store, it doesn't really matter that much.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

ah okay, so it wasn't like an Amazon preorder. Is the place the he ordered it from doing a party?

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Well, clearly, from our other thread, I need some major honing of my lighting techniques. ;D

Heh, I don't think I ever saw that one of yours! But, I'm not funny like you... ;D The funny one I made, hardly anyone noticed. :( *points* I thought it was a heck of a funny idea...

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

yeah, he got it from Davis Kidd, and they're going to have a party.. it's the same place where my friend's dressing up. :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Yay, fun! Is that a local store for you guys? I can't seem to find any small bookstores anymore, it's all Borders and B&N around here.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

you made that one? For some reason I thought it was a Snarkel icon! hahahha. girl, you gotta start posting your icons so I know whos are whos. Maybe as a friends only post :-)

Your lighting technique needs honing when you're doing an entire icon colored PURPLE! something that won't happen...that often...*makes note to have a purple themed challege at sw_challenge*

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

Yup... that be mine. :D I usually just make some for me to use because I'm not confident enough in my abilities for sharing just yet. Maybe one day... :) If you check out my userpics, you can see the ones that I've made for myself. Like, this one *points*, that I'm quite fond of. Heh, and I didn't even know Anakin said those words in RotS when I made it!

Heh... you said it. *laughs*

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

DK isn't really local, but I don't think there are any of them outside of TN. It's big like B&N and Borders, but it was one of the first big bookstores in Nashville for a while I think. At least since I've been alive. There was only one other I can think of, and it used to be a movie theater.. it was awesome. But then B&N bought it out and it went out of business a few months later. :(

[blu-harvest.livejournal.com]

hmmm. Columbia is more familiar to me... but really I'm up for either. Yay! I love midnight stuff.
