Randomness again.

aruruSo I tried that Tropical Sprite Remix stuff.
I think it tastes like carbonated fruit punch, to be honest - it's not bad at all, though I can't chug it down like I would a regular Sprite or a Pepsi. Then again, I wholly admit to having an annoyingly picky palate (Not nearly as bad as my dad's, but still pretty picky.), so your mileage may vary.
The taste also kind of vaguely makes me think of that one time I tried Ramune soda like a year or two back (except it doesn't have that cute bottle shape or the nifty marble-thingie that keeps it sealed), but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.
Hmm... RightStuf still hasn't delivered my Slayers Next DVD set. Odd... perhaps I should email them about that - thankfully, I saved the receipts from the previous deliveries, so the order number should be on them.
And now that I think about it, there's a package from Doki Doki Station that hasn't arrived yet, and I think it's been a month already. Packages from them have recently been arriving later than what they used to take before, but I think it's been like what... a month now since he said he was mailing it out? I think I should dig up the order number on that too, and email Yasushi-san and see if it wasn't returned to him or something (He did once mistakenly send me someone else's package, which has thus far been the only time he's screwed up an order with me. Maybe he did it again, or he wrote the address wrong and got it sent back.).
There just better not be some little punkass bastard at the post office stealing my shit, or there'll be hell to pay. (I really doubt it'd be my personal mailman, though - he's been delivering to this building for years, so we know him, and he's a total sweetheart. If there's actually a case of theft in either of these, the culprit would more likely be one of the people in the middle. Which would be severely "ARGH!"-inducing, because that's probably next to impossible to track down.)
Okay, enough bitching/musing about the worst-case scenario on that. Umm, what else... oh yeah, for those of you who like checking out communities, I saw a new one being advertised on the Mary Sue Report, called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fic_flames. I checked it out last night (it had only been up for 24 hours or so), and it already looks to be a really promising little place. (BTW, CONFIDENTIAL TO ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rikoshi: You might want to forward them that person that was pissed off at your bizarre Slayers parodies and called Gaav "ugly and deformed" [I'm still laughing my ass off at that part, btw! XD]. I'm sure they'll love it. :D)
Oh yeah, and I was just looking at my info page, and it just hit me that there are quite a few new people (as in, folks who've friended me without my having done so first and the like). Actually, there are new people, period - it was only like a month or two ago in which my friends list only consisted of people who've been longtime OL pals of mine. And of course, now my brain's going "Whoa, dude... I like, HAVE A READERSHIP NOW. I don't care how tiny it is, that's just like... WHOA."
Anyway, I do recognize at least three of the names as people who've "followed me home" from Fandom_Wank (and/ormarysues), even those of you who have SUPAA-SEKRIT disguises over there (*adjusts those folks' fake noses and moustaches* :D), and that I've had exchanges with you guys several times over there already. However, to the two or three peeps that are totally unfamiliar to me, could you guys briefly indulge my little Gaav-ish egotistical attention-whore side by answering a simple question: How did you find my journal? I'm kinda curious about that. :D
Oh, and while we're at it - if anyone's wondering about my Friends List policies, I don't really have many - I just eventually drop by a person's journal, and if I see that you often/consistently write about topics I'd be interested in replying to, I add you. It's nothing personal if I don't add you, it's just that as much as I'd like to Friend everyone, I'm trying to keep the list from being too overwhelming for me to keep up with. I wouldn't worry about it, though - I very seldom write private entries, and they're mostly pretty stupid stuff anyway (To date, I think I've only written like 3-5 total, and I've yet to write any that were about anything that was actually way too personal/sensitive a subject to share.).
So yeah, if I haven't added you, it's likely I haven't checked your LJ yet, and even if it's been long enough to assume that I did look and just didn't add it because I didn't think I'd want to keep up with it on a daily basis, there's still no reason to fret - there's nothing meant by it, and you're not missing out on anything special either. :)

I really don't get the whole Friends List Thing that some people have - I friend people that are funny or look interesting or that I felt like I'd want to read for whatever reason that I've probably forgotten by now, and I don't really expect or even care if they friend me back most of the time - so it's nice to see someone be sane about the whole thing and let me lurk in peace. ^_^

Date: 2003-07-08 05:26 am (UTC)And now that I see your "gay midget porn" icon, I DO recognize you as someone who often posts in the MSR. I don't know whether to be amused or scared that I can recognize folks by their icons nowadays. XD
Anyway, sure, lurk away. If by any chance you're wondering, though, I still haven't gone on any happy stranger!LJ-reading sprees yet - I have a pretty spastic attention span for many things, and thus I tend to forget about the existence of that info page other than the ocassional messing around with the interests list (Hell, I think I didn't bother to type up a bio until after like... 3-4 months of having the account? Heh.). So the brain hadn't really registered the growth in the "Friend of" section until today. ^^;
So yeah, I might still drop by your LJ and take a peek at some point. ^_^;

Date: 2003-07-11 10:48 pm (UTC)That's about the only way I recognize people most of the time, since I'm generally horrible with names. ^^;
Don't feel too bad about it, though - I seem to get that reaction a lot with regards to this icon. Apparently the "gay midget porn" thing just seems to stick in people's heads for some reason. I can't for the life of me imagine why. Hmm... XD
