Friends only

Yes, at long last, this journal has become (mostly) friends only. There are no specific reasons for this -- just a growing sense that I'm too accessable on the web.

If you want to friend me, drop me a line here and let me know who you are. Please don't expect me to automatically friend you back, or keep you on my flist. I can barely keep up with my list as it is, on some days.

There are a few things I look for in my friendslist:

- If I don't know you, chances are I won't friend you back, especially if your journal is mostly memes, or about your life and friends of which I know nothing. It helps to actually talk to me, if you want me to friend you back. (and I still won't friend you, if I don't find your journal very interesting.)

- I'll cut people who I seem to have lost most or all contact with, and whose entries have ceased to make sense to me.

- I'm a big advocate of lj-cutting memes and large pictures. It's just polite, really.

- Keep your drama and/or wank to yourself. I mean it. I'm too lazy to deal with it usually, but my friends are not.

- All icons were, unless otherwise stated, made by me. If you'd like to use any of them, please ask and definitely credit.

Remember this above all things: LJ is not a popularity contest!

TOEFL testing is awesome. Seriously, getting paid 20 bucks an hour to read? Priceless.

Still, I'm feeling very tense and meh-y in a way. I want to have a weekend to myself, where my house is clean and I'm not moving or working going to LA or San Fran or any of that. Bah. (case in point -- I have to work till 2:30 ish today, then swing home for laundry, then drive to LA.)

In more amusing news -- with the move, Kacia brought her kitty, Gonzo. Gonzo is a fat black male cat. I still have Suki, my svelte tense little white male cat. We have nicknamed them basement cat and ceiling cat, of course. Gonzo is totally cool with everyone and everything and has no problems with Suki. Suki, on the other hand, wants Gonzo to go. away.

I had basement kitty sleeping on my pillow and ceiling kitty at my feet last night. It was just a bit epic.

Quick update since I know I haven't updated in a billion years~

On the family front, everything is more or less okay. Mum and Dad have fully moved out of the Redding house. Nana is still hanging in there, crazy as a loon but still kicking.

On the work front: Still working at Miramar and Intrax, trying to save up a bit of money and failing, miserably. At least I love my job!

In other news, I am in the process of moving to a new apartment. We got kicked out because our landlord wants the current place for his sister. So... I'm moving to University Heights, so only a couple of miles away. If any of you are on facebook, you can see pics of the new apartment (without stuff in it, of course) Andy is not coming with me, instead I will have a new roomate -- Kacia!

Suki is now an indoor-only cat as he has stressed me the fuck out lately with two abcesses and a severly cut paw. Little bastard that he is. Thankfully my new roomie has another indoor-only cat, Gonzo. Acclimating them both will be interesting.

I'm pretty sure that's all the news that's fit to print. God I want a week off.
