dream
[info]madresal
I had a very vivid dream this morning.

I had to turn in an assignment for some class. My dad said, no worries, I did the assignment for you. I said you can't turn it in, I have to review it first. He handed me a book full of pictures, beautifully done. I flipped through and found photos that had nothing to do with me. Dad, I can't use these, these aren't even of me. He laughed and said he had just really liked those photos and wanted to include them. I ripped out those pages. I flipped through some more and was overwhelmed that he had put this much work into the book. Many of the photos were related to music.

Next I am in Times Square. It is futuristic Times Square, where three-dimensional advertisements are being broadcast into the air. I am walking my brother Joe across the street. A three dimensional Domino's pizza flashes above us. My brother is leaning against me, getting heavier and heavier. I can't support all this weight. I go back the way I came across the street, taking Joe with me, looking for my dad for help. Joe and I stand near a building, where a row of young police officers stand, casually, smiling and talking to each other.


Edit, took a part out of here since I don't feel like dealing with comments about it.

God damn, confound, blast and fuck my deranged mind, which seems to be currently transfixed by someone it absolutely should not be...

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, [info]renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Went and saw Tim Meadows at iO last night. Dude is hilarious!

Christmas was mellow, weekend was mellow. Didn't really want to be around people at all, was content to watch 50 million hours of TV. Went to the gym a couple of times.

Got an invite for a NYE house party that is only a few blocks from my place. Sweet. I was going to go see one of my teacher's improv shows, but on a cold Chicago December night, Chicago streets full of drunk idiots, I think a radius of 7 blocks from my home will be pretty awesome.

Last night I went out to this "martinis and manicures" event where you get a manicure and all the martinis you can drink in a 2-hour period. Sipping on key lime martinis was a good way to deal with such a stormy nasty night. This one guy had 9 martinis (hello pace yourself) and then insisted he was sober enough to drive home. In the ICE STORM. Who does that? No one is sober after 9 drinks. Also his job: Repo homes. We were giving him a hard time since he said he had to work today--oh great go kick people out of their homes on Christmas Eve, awesome! There may be certain occupations that keep you single, that may be one of them.

Today I am at work, we get out at 1. It is very, very quiet. Hardly anyone is here. I couldn't find my phone this morning. I must have left it at the bar. Gah drunk Beth, why you have to do that? The bar opens at noon today so I'll give them a call. If they don't have it, I'll have to get a new phone.

LiveJournal Major Notes: Get your holiday fix!
[info]theljstaff wrote in [info]news

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

  • If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
  • If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
  • If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
  • If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
  • If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

  • There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
  • Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.

Photos of the week

We're back with more dazzling pictures from around the world. Congrats to [info]marlenemcc, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our fourth photo contest. We hope you'll click over to LJ_Photophile poll and tell us your picks in pics!

For more fantastic user content, we'll meet you under the cut. Read more... )

So it's gotten to where I am forced to watch ads on here before I can read my friends page. I have a free account, that's why. Maybe it's time to abandon my livejournal.

What keeps you here on livejournal? I've been blogging here about 8 years. Crazy!

I've grown pretty attached, especially to the Craig Ferguson fan community. We'll see.

So I decided that today is the day to stop being a weenie and go get my computer checked out after work. I was going to wait until after the 25th to avoid the crowds but I've been a couple weeks now without a computer at home. Instead of reading or something I've been watching a lot of TV, and if I see another diamonds/holiday commercial I'll probably shoot myself. I really like Christmas lights but otherwise this has got to be my least favorite holiday. I had my show Sunday at Second City! I think it went well. Tonight after going to the madness that is downtown Chicago before Xmas I am going to see one of my old teachers perform at iO, then this weekend I am hoping to get tickets to see Tim Meadows at iO. I need an ugly sweater that says God Is Dead on it.
