Been a while since there was out and out JOY going on in my life but this day has rocked like a rocking thing, so here's the why for posterity (also, because I am one the geeks that periodically reads her past LJ entries in order to wince, sigh, and laugh):
- Sold some more stuff; got some more cash; paid some more bills. Here's the happy part: Still in possession of all my Buffy, Angel, and QAF DVD's. I so rule at this poverty thing.
- Aside from covering the essentials (electricity, cable/internet, phone, smokes) I had some bucks left over for the world's cheapest and most evil malt liquor. All hail the glory of Steel Reserve! 40 ounces of ghetto-goodness for under two bucks. *g*
- That manga thing I've been doing recently? It's having a great day. About 200 pages of new stuff to d/l, share, and "ooh!" and "aah!" over. Very much enjoying my new hobby.
- People are going off to CFTC. I'm not going. That's all good because, in spite of the occasional in-fighting, popslash is one of the best fandoms I've ever been a part of. There are so many wonderful people who share all they can just so we can keep up with the boys. I have missed a ton of stuff (coming in, as I did, so late in the game) but I've never gone for more than a day without finding some generous soul that was willing to hook me up with whatever appearance or performance or picture or description from the back row *g*, I was jonesing for. Just in case I haven't mentioned it yet, allow me to say that I'm so happy that I put aside all those goth brownie points in my teens so I could join in the crazy sparkly love. (Said brownie points were earned by contracting scarlet fever, btw, which I and my doctors still have no idea how I managed.)
So there it is, four excellent reasons why today is a good day. I'm going to go read some yaoi now, just to keep the ball rolling.
