when your hand itches, it means you're getting money right?

→ That "post ten celeb crushes" meme is going around again and every time I've ever tried to do it I can't seem to come up with ten people to fill the spaces. I can never commit to anything. I'm so fickle. Fickle's a funny word.

→ I'm still behind on, well everything. Shows and flist and... everything. And I have fic to write which I haven't started on. And there's no way I'm going to make my "make a fanvid by the end of the year" promise/vain hope. But never say never. I do feel a bit bummed about all of that though. Or a lot bummed. Whichever. Oh, and! I still haven't sent my cards out. I've got them all written and everything. I just need to take them to the post office and do the damn thing. Just one more thing! Why am I so damn whiny?

→ Grey's Anatomy casting spoiler here from [livejournal.com profile] slybrunette. I can't really say that I'm that surprised. And I guess if I was more invested in this show I'd be upset about it. If they were writing him off there'd be a sense of injustice, but since he's deciding to leave on his own then there's not even that. I hope he gets a beautiful, heartwrenching send-off though. George deserves it. (Hey if he's going, he's going, might as well go out in blaze.) And the really selfish part of me is a bit happy at this development because I was certain that Mark/Lexie would be but a stepping stone on the way to George/Lexie. But now... ? Who knows. I know. I'm kind of totally evil. Feel free to tell me so in the comments.

→ You know what I don't get? Stress balls. They were giving out relaxation baggies in the hall because it's the week before finals. In them there's this little bear stress "ball" thing. (Except it's totally not a ball, it's a bear.) I don't understand it! That does not relax me. I don't think I've ever been stressed and gone, "gah! I just wanna squeeze something super hard and watch it bounce back to it's regular shape!" I dunno. Maybe that's just me.

→ I can usually get halfway there with no problem but around the 7, 8 mark I start to run out of options. I think I might actually be able to do it now though. I watch enough damn tv shows that there's probably a dude from everyone I could put on my list lol You could always repeat people *cough*callum*cough who are hot enough! ;)

→ I'm sorry you never got around to making your vid. Your noggin is so full of awesome vid ideas! But you're very right, never say never! Maybe you shouldn't set a deadline. I always feel like if I'm doing something for myself it's best if I don't set any kind of deadline. It makes me feel too pressured and then I just give up before I even begin. Could just be me though lol

→ Ohhhh George. I always loved him. I would be sad to see him go but I haven't been invested in the show in a long while either so it doesn't depress me too much. I agree though, he should definitely go out with style. He deserves that much.

→ I get stress balls I think. Sometimes when I get stressed I wanna throw stuff lol so maybe it's just like that only squeezing. Plus it might be fun if it's in the shape of a bear. But then again it could just feel like you're murdering a poor innocent bear and that would not be good.

That's totally cheating. No way, dude. Hehehe.

Yeah see, that's the problem. Way too many ideas and not enough follow through. Some day man, some day!

I'd rather just crumple paper or something. I'm not sure why stress balls don't de-stress me. I would probably ease more stress by bouncing one.

In reference to your title...nah, it just means your hand is dry. lol There's lotion on my desk if you want to use it. And, hey, I heard if your nose itches, that's when you get money.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-12-09 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahha, okay I'll have to go check that out.

And seriously? My nose is itching all the time. (It's the haircut!) I should be getting some money soon then!

I can't seem to come up with ten people to fill the spaces

I'm pretty much exactly the opposite...I have the hardest time narrowing it down to 10. I think the only time I actually did the meme I wound up doing top-10-men and top-10-women and adding in runners-up for both. I think this makes me a crush whore or something.

And there's no way I'm going to make my "make a fanvid by the end of the year" promise/vain hope

Never say never! There's still time! But maybe you shouldn't worry so much about deadlines? It's supposed to be fun. Work on it when you want to and don't worry about it the rest of the time.

Also, I kind of get stress balls? Sometimes when I'm mad or stressed I really just want to hit something, and with a stress ball you can squeeze it hard enough to feel like you're destroying something without...actually destroying it. Maybe that's just me.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-12-09 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
There's two of them going around right now, one for guys and one for girls. Haha so that means I'd have to pick 20! NO way! *hides*

I know you're right. Deadlines are stupid. Ptsch. Deadlines. Who needs 'em!? (See, I am learning.)

But see then I'd be all frustrated that my destroying was so ineffective. Hahaha.

I can never get there xD I don't usually have celeb crushes. Mine are limited to Jared, Jensen, Katie Cassidy, Sophia Bush, and then I run out of options.

Oh George. He used to be my favourite character, and I don't know what the writers did, but he just got less and less interesting and more and more annoying as the show went on. I still adore him, but I'm glad TR's walking off... his character's kind of lost his point.

I don't get stress balls either. The only time I ever use them is when I'm donating blood. I don't see the point in like, concentrating on squeezing this pain in the ass little ball of squidgy stuff.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I guess I'm just picky. What does this list say about me, I wonder. Hehe.

Yeah the writer's have definitely not done him justice. But things can't always stay the same I suppose.

I guess some people get them, and some people don't. Hehehe.

[identity profile] turquoisetumult.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh come on, I mean you can think of 10 celebrities. Just think about your favorite shows, movies, and musical artists.

Yeah, stress balls = total waste! :D

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Noooo. LOL. I can't! I'm defective!

[identity profile] turquoisetumult.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
But you even have TAGS for celebs on the side. LOL. Just think really hard! :D

[identity profile] vuitton.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Aha, I have that same issue. Or I feel bad leaving people out. :'(

LMFAO! Just throw it at someones head or something.

I like your solution to the stress ball situation. I will try that.

[identity profile] ilingeron.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Aaw, George. =/ It sucks what's happened with his character. He should go out in a blaze, triumphant and defiant. Hopefully we'll keep seeing T.R. around.

Ahahahaha, stress balls. They look kind of pointless, but whenever I'm stressed I play with whatever's in my hand at the time until I go too fast and lose it. It's usually pens. Stress balls might be safer. XD

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I would hope so but I'm not too sure about that. But we'll see.

You're totally right about the safety thing. For instance, squeezing a stress bear is probably a lot safer than squeezing an actual bear.
