new things

[deird_lj]

It really is fun going shopping for stuff you want, and knowing that it's okay to spend money on it, because it's stuff you need so you're not just being indulgent...

(In other news, I now have new jeans, sneakers, and a 1 terrabyte external hard drive.)



(In other other news, I managed to write, edit, and post a story - and only noticed a day later that I'd switched from present tense to past tense mid-paragraph. *facepalm*)

Oooh, definitely agree with the first bit! Nice feeling.

(And what do you need an external hard drive for, out of curiosity?)

Well, there's this thing where you get bits of music, and lots of different clips from TV shows, and then you put them together and go "Ooh! Pretty!" and show them to people on the internet...
...and apparently it takes up a lot of space.

Ahhh, yes.

Are you doing that now? Like, I mean, I know you are, but have you finished one yet? That I can see and squee over? *bats eyes*



Also, I wish I would stop hearing this one Taylor Swift song, because whenever I do I think about how it would make a perfect unrequited Willow/Xander, where Willow's mad at Buffy for being liked by Xander...hmmph. I totally have like an outline of scenes in my head for the chorus and everything.

Ooh. Which song?


And no, I haven't finished any yet. (Believe me, you'll know when I do!) I'm currently ripping episodes and getting all the scenes I want. It's taking forever.

Er...You Belong With Me. Had to look that up, cause I've only heard it in other places - swearz I don't normally like teh Taylor. Well, kinda - but very guilty pleasure-ish, cause seeing as I grew up with country-listenin' parents I make a habit of despising all country with the Dixie Chicks being the one exception.

But...but the lyrics! "She's cheer captain" - Buffy in cheering outfit, probably from The Witch being all spazzy happy. "I'm in the bleachers" - Willow sitting in the bleachers, probably in Reptile Boy watching Xander at the pool. "She wears high heels" - Buffy in a sluttynice outfit. "I wear sneakers" - Willow in a aww-crappy S1 outfit.

It totally works, but I don't vid! *huffs*

And, erm, this TOTALLY ISN'T a sad, sad bid to make you do it. Nope!


So like good luck with that! I can imagine it's hard work. *nods*


GAH CUTE NEPHEW ICON ZOMG. *eats it*

[deird1]

*totally doesn't have that song right here on my iPod*

*gets out iPod and plays COMPLETELY DIFFERENT song that just happens to sound exactly the same even though it's definitely NOT by Taylor Swift*

*listens attentively*

Oooh! You are so right! That really works!


And, erm, this TOTALLY ISN'T a sad, sad bid to make you do it. Nope!

*totally isn't a sad crazy person who'd do it anyway*

*is open to bribery*

...it's sad, but I have to admit: I kind of really do like her songs. They're...they're catchy! I'm still too wigged over liking them to get them or anything, but that day may come.


Doesn't it? I was like WHOA when it happened.

And then if you didn't want to do the same thing over again, you could do another chorus as Dawn being jealous over RJ liking Buffy! AND THAT WORKS TOO!!! *marvels at own genius*

*is open to bribery*

Oooh! I could do a fic! Multiple fics! F'real! Anything!!

Or I could send you cookies! :P
