Outpost of the World

[popo_licious]

Outpost of the World. Sounds like it should be a book or something! XD Anyways, hello from Maine! I'm enjoying my-- get ready --summer house near the sea, soaking up the clouds and humidity and old-people smell and all of Maine's other charming amenities.

Hah, okay... It's not that bad. We've spent the last week renovating my nana's house, which we bought a few months ago when her landlord mentioned that the lot was going up for sale and that she'd have to leave. The transformation is going swimmingly so far-- we've completely turned around two bedrooms, moved in about 1/3 of the furniture we'd been keeping at the other house, and are planning to more or less make the place livable again. I'm excited-- Lori, you are SOOO coming up with me next Summer. XD 



Aside from painting, making runs to the town dump, pulling up carpet, laying wood, and eating blueberries responsibly, I've been lurking around dA and working on some school assignments. I just love my AP Government work-- the opening instruction is something along the lines of "read the whole dang Constitution, bitch!" How wonderful! Here's a hot tip for you English folks-- you can find the text for No Exit online instead of paying $11.99 for the script-and-some-others at Boarders. Yes, I'm a very begrudging student, aren't I? XD



As for other interesting tid-bits, my work at FESS is driving me up the wall at the moment. XD There's this kid there who thinks he's some brilliant artist when he honest to goodness cannot even draw a stick figure properly. I'm not even joking-- it's sad and I actually want to cry every time he posts ((which is quite often)) because with each new topic he makes, a volley of well justified, un-deleteable flames appear, telling him to take a hint and get some help. Ugh. And what's more, I was in the process of making a resource thread when someone else went and approached me about making one himself. I said, "Hey! Let's team up and make one together!" and he replied with "lol oK." So what does he do? He makes the thread, makes it ugly, makes a really half-assed post with zero resources and walks away like it's okay.

IT'S NOT OKAY. DX

So-- now I have to find a way to gently tell him that his thread makes my eyes bleed and that I'll take care of the tricky stuff and he can feed me links. Yay.



That's enough ranting for now-- I think I'm sort of grumpy as I write this because I'm having massive Roger-withdrawal at the moment. XD And please... If you're reading this, for the love of all things holy, leave me a comment! I feel like I'm isolated! XD I miss my LJ buddies and I miss a certian community! I love you! Love me back! XD

Wub,

Popo

PS: Who's that strange man in my mood icon? He seems familiar but... o___o;

Well then! Your sister & cousin can go straight to Blueberry Overload without passing Go and without collecting two hundred dollars. XD

Hang in there, sweetie! ♥ We miss you lots around that certain community, too! You haven't missed much action, though, It's been pretty quiet lately, I guess 'cause everyone's busy doing summertime stuff. I'm sure it'll all get back to normal in fall - that's what usually happens! :)

O____O Mind reader! Or something... XD Monopoly is the binding agent between the 3 of us-- we play it every day... much to my displeasure. XD Wow.

I'm sort of sad Q/ has been so slow! I was all excited when school let out because I figured it'd be the Summer of Slash but then everything sort of... dried up. XD I've got a few things in the works but they won't be ready any time soon. What happened to the Lilyverse piece you were telling me about a while back? Did I miss it? I think I might have. XD
