10% of Your LJ Experience

LAYERS, children, that's what today is about. So many layers that I'm actually probably going to be uncomfortably warm at work. But I also have:

SMOKE SIGNALS!

That's right, we have snow, people! It's coming down at a good pace and it started about an hour or so ago and it probably won't amount to much in the end but right now S N O W.

It's also swmkit's first snowstorm! Which means he spent the morning sitting at the baywindow, staring out and cocking his head from side to side as he watched the flurries coming down. Awww, kitten.

I'm wearing two pairs of socks, snow boots, cuddleduds (of which I will need to purchase more, I don't have enough), jeans, t-shirt, shirt over that and I have my leather jacket and my winter coat as well. That's right, it gets into single digits and swmbo gets prepared!

And today is THE FIRST DAY OF SWMNESS!!

On the first day of swmness,
My true love gave to me...
A piping hot cup of coffee!

Or, more actually, two cups with one to grow on. Also, this fabulous icon by my bear.

But swmness isn't a holiday about just ME! It's a holiday for EVERYONE! It's a chance for me to give back to my darling flist! Therefore: give me a prompt or word or something and I will share something with you. Maybe a snippet of fic. Or maybe snippet of reality. You won't know until you try!

Luff you guys. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SWMNESS!!

ETA: This is one of the funniest things I have ever read, even as it disturbs me.
Mixing Prayer with Poultry and Meat Sales Tyson Foods - chaplains at work and offering downloadable prayer booklets. With quotes like “There is a broader trend among bigger businesses to be faith-friendly employers, acknowledging that employees don’t want to leave their soul in the parking lot,” said David Miller, director of the Yale Divinity School’s Center for Faith and Culture and a professor of business ethics.

Personally, I like to keep my soul tucked up in the glove compartment, where it's safe and sound. And it's not like I'll keep gloves there, because I can only find one, but that's another story.

The chicken, beef and pork marketer recently began offering free downloadable prayer booklets on its Web site with mealtime words of thanks expressed across a variety of faiths, from Christian to Muslim.

Some one is really, really afraid of the bird flu.

I would like to point out that pretty much so far EVERY SINGLE PROMPT has been food related! EVERY ONE.

At least, if you think of wine when you think of burgundy, which you guys know I do.

So now I'm not writing fic, I'm writing out a menu instead! We shall resume this later.

After a festive celebration that will consist of peanut butter and jelly, candy canes, eggnog and tea.

I feel queasy just thinking about it.

I still love you guys, though, I'm just laughing! I am saving the prompts in a notepad file and I promise I shall do something with them during the course of the next twelve days. In the meantime, I am sharing with you the following meme (also food, known as SPAM), which I gakked (and slightly modified, adding field 3) from _cee

MY LJ:

my eljay is... by swmbo, aged countdown 12 days until 32

1. My username is swmbo because it stands for She Who Must Be Obeyed and I believe in truth in advertising and I think more people should obey my every whim. And it has been a title of mine since college. It's also a reference to Ayesha from H.R. Haggard's SHE. There are random people on the interwebs who use it to refer to their spouse, which makes googling it annoying but they're wrong, because it's mine.

2. My name is supercarbonconcentrate because really, life is carbon and I am LIFE and also a diamond and what is a diamond but concentated CARBON! I'm practicing for my time later as a LifeGem. bear is in charge of that.

3. My lj title is 10% of your LJ experience because a VERY SCIENTIFIC STUDY showed that that's what I am. Ten percent of YOUR LJ experience. You may not have realized that before, but now you know! This scientific study was conducted by Kovsky and analyzed by me. Blame her.

4. My subtitle is I stalk the world. Subtitles are kinda annoying since they don't show up unless you go to userinfo so I am lazy about changing it. But I used to be much, much better at commenting on people's LJ. Stupid WORK!

5. My friends page is called Torn Between Love and Rage which is a fair summary about what I feel as I read through my flist. Or, you know, read Kovksy's entries.

6. My default userpic is EVIL. The evil raccoon. Despite what some people PERSIST in thinking, this is not a reference to my being evil OR an indication that I am a raccoon. Instead it is part of my continuing effort to educate the world that RACCOONS ARE EVIL and are PLOTTING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. I don't see why this is so hard a concept for some people to grasp, but there you have it.

And that is swmbo in a nutshell post.
