A meme and some happy things...

mandolinFirst off, I have decided that I love, love, LOVE, DVDPlanet.
Pretty much every release regarding the 4th DVD of Fruits Basket has indicated that it comes out May 27th. So, today, I went on DVDPlanet.com just to see if I could pre-order it or something, because that's when I'll be recovering from Memorial Day insanity. I looked up Fruits Basket, scrolled down to Volume 4, and I nearly dropped my wacom tablet in shock.
It was IN STOCK.
A week early.
And only $30 with shipping - that's cheaper than anyplace else I've seen. And standard shipping usually takes about 3 business days after the order confirmation is e-mailed to you.
I am SO happy.
Second off, a meme that I just made up. Use as many friends as you want.
You Know You've Been Reading Your LJ Friends List Too Much When....
...you hear that Spike will somehow be put into the Angel cast and immediately think, "Oh, no, has![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yahtzee63 heard about this yet?"
...at the same time, you think, "Well,turbov21 will be happy."
...a friend of yours is reading the Fake manga, and you think, "Hmm,opposingangels raves about that. Maybe I should check it out."
...you get tailgated by an annoying SUV driver who wants to go 60 in a 35 zone. He finally passes you when the road becomes 2-lane, only to get pulled over by a cop FIFTY FEET LATER. As you drive past, and your friends wave at the jerk, you wishbktheirregular could have seen it. :) What IS it with most SUV drivers out there?
...you re-watch "Phases" simply because a fanfic byjanedavitt made you see certain scenes in a totally different way. (Poor Xander.)
...every time you see pie lately, your train of thought inevitably hits fanfic and fanfic feedback, thanks tomtgat.
...you're digging through your old comic book collection and think, "Man,tinagilman has a much better collection than I did. What was I thinking, reading this crap?"
...you are anxiously waiting forneonhummingbird to return from Ireland so you can pounce on her demanding details.
...thanks tokevenn, you actually find yourself following American Idol. (Okay, I get second-hand info from co-workers mostly, but still.) ;)
...you're out shopping with friends for a graduation gift, and after you run into every single one of the fashions/fads thatsage_theory pointed out the hideousness of in a 35-minute period, you make a note: "Tell Meg to avoid Frederick Towne Mall at ALL COSTS if she's ever in this state."
..even thoughe_tisiphone already explained what it means and it's really not funny, "phlebotomy" has lodged itself in your brain as the latest Silly-to-Say word that people stare at you when you throw it into a conversation because they have no idea what it means.
...for some reason, you have "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" stuck in your head all day and don't realize why until you go back and rereadaltrn8realities's blog.
...you see that Adrien Brody is hosting SNL. Your first thoughts are, "Wow, Tony DOES look like him" and "I'd be shocked ifmao didn't at least tape this."
...covielle has caused half the dialogue from "Labyrinth" to pop into your head when you're bored - all because of one line.
...if you're ever in California, even though you doubt you're going to run intocrzydemona, you plan to keep your eyes peeled for a "GRYFNDR" license plate. Just in case. :)
Oh, and this is TWO DAYS LATE, but: Happy Birthday,kevenn! Hope it was great!

Date: 2003-05-18 05:06 pm (UTC)But the guy was PISSED OFF. Although we saw him later on, and he was doing the speed limit and behaving like a civil human being.
The other stupid SUV I encountered (a jerk who decided he was going to intimidate his way into MY LANE while his was disappearing and only backed off because I leaned on my horn and DID NOT LET HIM try to pull that) didn't get pulled over, but he didn't get anywhere by the time we got to the highway. Hell, if I'd let him go, he would have clipped us; he could not have fit, but he was still trying. So I comforted myself with imagining just what the passengers of my car would do to him if he'd nicked us.
(Let me explain: there was an eight-month-old in the car, in her car seat. ON THAT SIDE. Her mother was sitting next to her car seat. Her mother is a Marine. Had the moron so much as clipped my car, I don't think we'd have been able to restrain the Marine from hurting him if we wanted to. It wouldn't have been pretty.)
