Hello Kitty wine, making me wish I actually drank wine.

In dww_styles, foxfirefey sums up the recently-added styles and themes.

yvi and commenters are pondering ways for users to support Dreamwidth financially and encourage developers to work on specific bugs, at the same time.

I saw Dr. Feelgood last night, and it was awesome. Boston-area people should come! $15, Cambridge YMCA in Central Square. Doors at 7:30 and show at 8:00.

My fridge broke. Not cool.

Puns aside, I have set myself up in the front room with the door open, to await my landlady. (She is a therapist and sees patients in an office in the building; all signs point to that being what she is doing right now.)

Fuck being a grown-up, y'all. Fuck it in the ear.

napowrimo/National Poetry Writing Month is April.

Dreamwidth has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code!!!

petra: Only one word for yes (White Collar, awesome smut written for kink_bingo, OT3)

Meme from marina: Ask me a question about one of my icons. I'll answer, either directly or with a drabble. (Probably not a drabble, as I don't have many fannish icons and don't really write fic, either.)

xkcd takes on "Porn For Women."

lauredhel brings us a television program about accessibility inventions.

helens78 has noticed that Dreamwidth allows you to link to an AO3 profile by entering <user name="username" site="archiveofourown.org">. sofiaviolet, for example, although I don't have any fic to my name.

liv is hosting a non-fandom Dreamwidth friending meme. (Fans are not excluded from participating, but the focus is on people who are not fannish and/or who want to connect with other non-fannish Dreamwidth users. I'm going to throw my hat into the ring because, although I am in fandom, I don't actually post about it much; my fannish participation is mainly passive and tends to be in other people's journals.)

Follow Friday:
crock_o_dial for sharing slow-cooker recipes
create_my_comm for when you want a community to exist on Dreamwidth but aren't up to maintaining it yourself. Folks are currently looking for a community sort of like little_details, but which also allows posts looking for fact-checkers, research aides, and fail-spotters.
azurelunatic is good people.
rydra_wong always has links to useful, good, thought-provoking posts.
thingswithwings is a kink_bingo mod and plenty interesting in her own right.

erda is running a Dreamwidth Anniversary Fest timed to coincide with the one-year anniversary of open beta.

And I am exhausted, so I'm going to sleep now.

ETA: katieastrophe is running an anniversary meetup in London. (If you can't make that, try dw_meetups to arrange something in your area.)

Ow fuck shit my toe ow ow owwww!

I walked into a stack of books this morning as I was getting out of bed, and then I walked into a broom handle lying on the kitchen floor while I was putting away dishes. The second trauma damaged the toenail on my right fourth toe, and I bled kind of a lot. It is now very awkwardly bandaged, and I am not looking forward to class on Monday or grocery shopping on Tuesday, or any sort of room-cleaning.

Probably everyone reading this who cares already knows, but. Bob is no longer a member of My Chemical Romance. ;_; My mother cried when I told her, you guys, because she is One Of Us without the fanfic. This shit is not okay.

Arma Angelus - The Grave End of the Shovel, in case anyone wants it.

Poetry rec: odditycollector's the value of daughters

You're on my Friends List. I want to know 35 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other (or think we do). Short answers or long, whatever you want to say (or not) is cool. Copy from here and then repost in a comment. Then repost the empty questions on your journal. You know. If you want to.

I have stopped braining myself on the ceiling!! New problem: bed is too far from alarm clock. Suspect it is time for fun with extension cords.

Room fix-ups continue. I have made a nice detailed to-do list, and I'm going to try and knock a sub-item or two out before dinner.
