All the strangers look like family/ All the family look so strange/ The only constant I am sure of/ is this exhilarating rate of change...One of these days I need to babble about Peter Gabriel lyrics, but you shall all be spared that tonight. :) But that reminds me to tell you about my radio show, on
Radio Free Mars. It's every Monday night, 5-9 PM PST. The next one will be general random tunage to celebrate birthday number 26, but a week from Monday I'm doing a theme show called "Kickin' It Eighties Style". You're all invited to tune in.
So, the birthday went pretty well. My relatives have all picked up on my lighthouse mania and fed it some more. Coolest was the gift from my aunt and uncle and cousin, which is one of those crystal bricks etched with a picture -- in this case, a lighthouse. How'd you guess? And I'm going to go see Incredibles with my grandma on Wednesday. Yay!
I don't want to get my fellow authors' hopes up, but there's a bit of percolation in my head, and if it decides to stay, there may be es3age by the weekend. (If that last clause made no sense to you, then don't worry, y'weren't meant to get the message -- short of it, I'm *almost* to the point where I feel like writing again.)
Anyway, it's time to sleep, but here's a meme for you, with my special brand of randomness. Enjoy. :)
My journal is called
katster's closet because I've always liked the idea of closets as being places where we store things, and LJ has become the home of my day to day randomness, plus whatever else I feel like writing at the moment. Politics these days usually ends up over at the
Nuke Free Zone, although occasionally I do post some of it here.
My subtitle is
the flotsam and jetsam of a life because, well, it is. It goes along with the closet idea that randomness is here, and that y'all are kinda picking through the wreckage of my life at times, y'know? That and I just like the words 'flotsam' and 'jetsam', they're fun to say
.
My friends page is called
the insane asylum because none of my friends is exactly the sanest. That, and it just seemed appropriate with the random opinions and thoughts on that page. :)
My username is
katster because that's what I've always been online. It was my BBS handle, my email handle at Berkeley, my login on several different unix systems, and my IRC nickname. It's only appropriate that it's my LJ name too. And it's based enough on my real name that places that want your login based on the real name accept it.
My default userpic is
the hand drawn cat because that's simply my logo. I signed high school yearbooks with that sketch, I still sign cards with it, and it's just in general my personal logo. That and because I don't draw all that well, it makes it simple but unique.
