Dear Blizzard…
To Whom It May Concern (though it would appear that would be no one): I am writing in protest of the handling of the BlizzCon sales. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one. Here's my experience: Like most people who were interested in attending, I watched the forums to see what time the tickets … Continue reading Dear Blizzard…
Blizzard, You Bastards!
I have been trying to buy BlizzCon tickets for three hours now. My only consolation is that I'm pretty sure no one else can either. ::sigh::

Today’s the Day
[friends] I'm leaving for camp this afternoon and most of the day will be a flurry of last minute trips to the store, packing the van, finding that #@$! CD and the like. I'll be back on July 4, but start school on the 5th, so I'm not even sure when I'll be able to … Continue reading Today’s the Day

I was wrong. And I don't know how, or … Continue reading And The Van Steenberg Family Resides…
Monday Meme Randomness
From Monday Madness: 1. In your opinion, what is the perfect temperature? For summer, the perfect temp is 83 degrees Fahrenheit. With a nice breeze. Winter, hm, I'd say the perfect temp is 29 degrees, no wind... cold enough for snow to stick, but not so cold that I have to wear a ski mask. … Continue reading Monday Meme Randomness
10:15 Saturday Night
Okay, so yesterday we went to see Harry Potter AND the party was a smashing success, due to the fab-u-lous people hosting it, and I had a great time. Signs of said good time include bruised fingers from banging on drums and smudged mascara that has transferred itself from my top eyelashes to the wrinkly … Continue reading 10:15 Saturday Night
12 Material Things
From Daydreaming on Paper: If you were only allowed to have 12 material possessions, what would they be and why? These are in the order they occurred to me, which is not necessarily the order of importance. 1. My bed -- because I love it and I'm much easier to get along with when I've … Continue reading 12 Material Things
