Rain, rain, go away....

It's been raining for three days. There is now a pond in my yard. Complete with ducks. It's not really that bad, though. It puts me in the mood to listen to rainy songs. *g*

puterpatty loves me!! I usually associate her with the words fantabulous and wonderific, but that doesn't even come close to describing how I feel about her! She is so amazing; I can ask for something & I swear it's like she can see into my mind and produce exactly what I was envisioning! See my new icon? All thanks to her! *snuggles puterpatty*

I have apparently become one of the guys at work. :P Jeff (not my stepdad Jeff, the Jeff that works in my department) and I talked about sex all afternoon (and the fact that he's in a relationship but had some strange lined up for tonight after work; he claims that it's not out of the bounds of his relationship b/c his girl never said she wanted to be monogamous, but that if he doesn't show up to work tomorrow it's b/c she found out & he skipped town so she won't kill him -- and why it would be okay for me to go out and get some random piece b/c I'm not in a relationship). It was rather amusing actually. Even if I was standing there working while we were talking & his slacker ass was stapling my papers together.

OWL AWARDS!! I'll make a better post later this week about it, but you can go see everything that was nominated and vote Here. Voting is open until Jan 31st, so you have time to read & decide -- links to each of the nominations are provided. What I was nominated for:

Garden of Sun and Tears was nominated in Common Room and for Best Drama.
My untitled McGonagall piece was nominated in Hogwarts: A History.
24 Hours was nominated as Best Challenge and Best Death Scene.
Chocolate Confessions (written by me and anael) was also nominated in the Best Challenge category.
Picking up the Pieces was nominated in Romance (which totally blows my mind, just to be placed in the same category as snarkyroxy and keladry_lupin) and for best original character (*snuggles Karissa*).
Believe was nominated in the snapshot category.

I am so honored to be nominated, especially so much (you have no idea how happy & excited it makes me!), but I honestly wouldn't vote for myself in most, if not all, of these categories. *g* If you go to the Awards page to see who was nominated, I'm sure you'll see some familiar names b/c a lot of the stories and/or authors I've recced. All of the stories that were nominated are fantastic though -- check them out if you haven't done so yet!

puterpatty and macberly both tagged me to do this meme... and I guess using puterpatty's method of figuring, that means I get to do nine?
