Happy Fourth of July, all! Just finished watching the last of the fireworks shows on TV, and am now enjoying a nice lightning show. Also stepped out on the back porch for a bit earlier and watched the fireworks that my neighbors were shooting off. But when I came back inside, I wasn't so pleased to find out that I had seven new bug bites on me.

Including one on the BOTTOM of my FOOT.

How does that even happen?

Completely random, but I just have to say that this is beyond awesome.

That is all.

Oh, Nocturnal Secrets. Why do I keep forgetting about your birthday? Every year. Every single year I forget.

UGH.

Yeah, so as of June 15th Nocturnal Secrets is five years old. And I once again fail at remembering birthdays.

Wow, two posts today.

I got this quiz from alloveryou and thought I'd give it a go, since I love cats. ( Quiz Results. )

( More Random Quiz Results. )

Then I saw this one on the site and thought what the hell. ( Maybe Should've Avoided It. )

Eh, I'm really gonna have to disagree with the last two points of that last quiz there. I have horrible social skills, and because of this I'm pretty sure people are uncomfortable around me. I'm afraid I come off as being cold and unfriendly, but I'm really just shy and it annoys me that people might assume that I'm cold and don't want to talk. I do want to talk, but if I don't really know the person then they'll need to start the conversation and... well, they rarely do. So I just kinda end up standing/sitting there like a complete idiot with no one to talk to.

It's not like I haven't tried to start conversations, but whenever I do they fall flat and it becomes awkward and then the person leaves. God, I'm so sick of being socially awkward and introverted... It's really had a negative effect on my life and it's made me miserable, especially in the last few years.

Really shouldn't have thought so much about a quiz result, but sorry, it's just been one of those days.

This is so completely and utterly hilarious.

ETA: I've just finished sorting through and saving the bonus material screenshots of Goblet of Fire for Nocturnal Secrets and the total number of screenshots comes to 1790. Just need to upload the rest now.

I really shouldn't have watched the uncensored video of Neda.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Short picture post today. Yesterday was Smokey's first birthday, so I took some pictures of him. ( He Enjoys Attention. )

There's also a stray dog and two puppies that like to hang out around the house. I managed to get a picture of them sleeping underneath the porch of the guest cabin (which is still under construction). ( The Shade Feels Nice When It's Hot Out. )

Ok, time to install The Sims 3.

New layout! <3 refutare Took me all night, but I finally found one I liked.

Now I'm off to bed.

At nearly eight in the morning. Yeah.

... What? It's summer.

Next on my list: some new icons.
