My firefox add-ons

FoxClock - because sometimes you really have to know what time it is half across the world.

Target Alert - shows with a little icon what a hyperlink leads to (html, pdf, etc)

Download statusbar - pops up at the bottom of the firefox window.

Colorful tabs - what it says.

Google Preview - shows a preview image of sites when you search on google.

View my currency - automatically converts dollars/pund/etc to your currency of choice.

FoxyTunes - I use it mostly to hit pause, stop and start and shuffle to be honest, but it's handy for when I don't want to pull up iTunes just to do those things.

Adblock

Greasemonkey

LJ login - because I'm still playing in the RPG of love. Easy shifting between multiple LJ logins. This is also IJ login but I haven't tried that yet.

You have any favorites?

Boo Sunday

Woke up with a horrible migraine of the "move head and want to throw up" variety. Took a few pills and crashed and it faded to just a bad headache. Thank god as today was last day of Cheer camp at FH!

*falls down* I think it's been fun, but my timing was perhaps not of the awesome for me personally, as cheer camp and my uni lectures both started on Thursday.

Though I blame the migraine on the fact that every damn time the bus arrived last night, people coming home from parties woke up. And the rain, of course. Stupid, stupid rain.

Brain now Swiss cheese liek woah. Have hoisted slumber party posting onto someone else. Must post OMG YOU ALL ROCK post tomorrow, 'cause my cheerleaders really do.

Am amazed still coherent...ish.

Mom and auntie coming by tomorrow 'cause auntie is going to specialist doctor. Must wake up in time to vacuum 'cause told mom I had. Plus have to clean floors as should've done so today but bad headache.

Might take another trip to IKEA, but currently broke. Gets money on Wednesday, which will be used for bus pass. Bus pass v. needed. Then books, then must send form to NAV so's get money back.

*curls up* Sleeeepytime.

Tuesday

Am crashing early today.

Got my pills, the only Ult. FF trade I was missing and a day-to-day journal for uni while I was down town earlier. Am buying a busspass next week. Got Maelie's b-day prezzie today! Yays!

Am pondering writing challenges. Though am not good with them. Only one I've finished be Yuletide. Hmm, hmm.

*coughs* *looks sheepish*

So I'm really very patient... Or not. So I spent today setting up two asylums: [info]girltalk and [info]text_to_audio. I'm not doing the caffeine one though. At least not yet. If no one makes one I suppose I will eventually.

Am going home to the flat tomorrow! Joys! No more randomly disappearing internets! Woohoo!

I realized a couple of days ago that my cheer plot for FH starts the same day my lectures start up. I find this very amusing. I'm kind of sad about not doing the Buffy plot I had in mind, but with randomly disappearing nets and having to hit refresh 362 times to get a page to show, it would just have frustrated me a lot. I'll see if I can mash something together over the weekend though.

I'm really looking forwards to coming back to the flat and the city.

I'm very lazy and 'oh, must I?' right now, but I always get like that when I stay at the parents for too long. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but I can only spend so much time with them in a row before I want to hide under the bed just to get some alone time.

I need my alone time.

I'm gonna miss Tiffi-the-dog though.

Girly girl and asylums and otps

Girlygirl, asylums and me
I don't think of myself as much of a girly girl, but I kinda want a girly girl asylum anyway. One for things that are cute and girly (pink laptop! hello kitty mobile phone!) or just girly by definition (chicklit, chickflicks) or related to girlyness (shopping, make-up, clothing...).

Or at least a website. I know there has to be a perfect one out there somewhere but as of yet I have not found it.

When amazon.com really comes closest it's sad. Very, very sad.

Other asylums I'd like:
Audiobooks - trading and reviewing and requesting. Both for 'real' books and fanfiction and podcasts.
Caffeine - because caffeine addiction of any kinds should be shared.

and then I babble about otps )

My OTP test basically goes: Can I see character A with someone other than character B? If no, it's an OTP.

Yay!

IJ has an [info]aurgasm feed set up! There is joy in the land of me. I'm so not a music geek, but I like aurgasm. It's just quirky and lovable like that. I've almost never heard of the music that gets mentioned, but that's the fun bit!

I am currently lying in bed, listening to 'Soul Music', eating original Tim Tams and contemplating making a list of syndicated feeds like the one I have of asylums. I'm blaming this obsessive list making on the fact that uni starts up again next week. Pre-uni jitters. Yes.

Well, that, and hitting refresh on asylum promo 326 times to make the page load is less frustrating than doing it in order to post a comment.

But Friday I will be back in the flat of no crappy internets!

(If the uni net chooses that time to break down, I'll cry, I swear.)

It's nearly 3 at night. Sleep is probably good too...

Meh

My head is tired, but I don't wanna put down AlbustheiBook even though I'm not really doing anything. Siiiigh.

Got an email from comicbook place - my comics have arriiiived! Which is yay, but at least five days until I can get them. That's not fun.

Have finished my chewy caramel tim tams. This is very sad.

I think I'm going to stare at food in mom's collection of cookbooks, and wish for a better couch for my flat now.

Maybe I'll read some Poirot after.

Here is a list I like to call Wow, I'm OCD

This is a categorized list of asylums. My source has mainly been [info]asylum_promo. I made it for my own use, but I thought some of you might find it handy as well.

Listings of asylums on ij with comments. Will add as find more interesting places. By 'recently started', I mean recent on ij.

ETA: Have added asylums from the comments to the post. Will continue to update it as long as new asylums are added to the comments.

ETA2: The first Community Directory!
