Though I lack your power, I will still persist.

It's Three Weeks For Dreamwidth time again! Join in the fun over at three_weeks_for_dw.

My favourite things I've found over there so far:

• The Ten Tasks for Dreamwidth Challenge
• terajk's The People with Disabilities Being Awesome Commentfic Fest
• chromatic_fanfic's Comment Fic Party
• kanata's Transfic Mini Fest

There's also a Dreamwidth Fairy Meme for people who'd like free time but can't afford it.

Also, I'm gonna try to do that 21 Days of Dreamwidth meme I keep seeing everywhere, only I forgot to do it yesterday, so I'll have to do two days worth today.

1. Why did you sign up for Dreamwidth?
It seemed interesting - everyone over at LJ was talking about it and people were frantically trying to get invite codes, and... I dunno, part of me didn't think I could get an invite because you had to know someone who had one to give you, so I kinda gave up on the idea pretty quickly. And then a friend of mine, let's call him A, said he was going to be getting some invite codes for the open beta launch and would anyone like one? I put my name forward, but didn't really hold out much hope.

A didn't give me an invite code. He gave me a year's worth of paid time.

I kind of had to stay after that.

2. Why did you choose your journal name?
I'M A KITTY!

The "angel" bit has been with me for a while - on one of the first websites I was on, one of the guys gave me the nickname "babaloney-w00 angel" and one of the girls called me her "rainsoaked angel". I can't remember which one came first, but I ended up using both as usernames at some point on LJ (side note: I was an icon maker under the name babaloney_w00 until I realised it stopped being fun due to the amount of icons people were expecting me to make - now I only make graphics for myself, or because I want to make a present for someone). The original username for my primary LJ account was "heartfelt_angel", a name I came up with because of the aforementioned nicknames. I never really felt like I lived up to that name, and I think it gave people expectations of me that... Well, let's put it this way: I nearly won Prom Queen at theljprom with that username, because people had the idea that I was nice.

Luckily, when I changed to angelikitten, nobody knew who I was anymore, so I was okay to be a bit more catty once in a while. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


( All the 21 Days of Dreamwidth questions )

Things I learned on my trip to the supermarket today:

1. When boarding a bus, saying "Good morrow to thee, good sir. I wish to purchase a ticket" will not impress the driver.
2. I am easily enticed by rainbow-striped stationary, especially if it is cheap.
3. My version of "Living La Vida Loca" impresses no-one. Neither does my dancing to it.

In other words, I'm much easier to impress/please than other people. Which we all already knew. So, in effect, I have learned a grand total of nothing.

But I do have a new rainbow-striped folder, so it's not like the trip was a complete waste.

Random fact: The only thing I'm allergic to is plastic bags.

And now, a random poll. No, I won't tell you what it's about. Yes, you can pick the same colour twice if you really want to.

[Poll #1489235]

Random fact of the day: I've never had a bad Friday the 13th. Okay, so I've dealt with low points on those days, but they've always started prior to the actual day, and therefore do not count. I have, however, had some horrible Saturday the 14ths, and last Thursday the 12th was a disaster.

I'm thinking about cutting some people from my LJ flist - namely people who update regularly, but I never actually talk to, because we have so little in common. Part of me also wants to subscribe to more people on DW, but I need to get into the habit of commenting on the journals I'm already subscribing to first. I guess I'm just scared of how I'll come across to some people, especially right now.

Talking of Dreamwidth, I want to ask some questions about sex. Okay, bit of a jump there, but let me explain - I feel comfortable enough to ask these questions to a wider audience here, but not at LiveJournal. No, I don't know why.

But where? sex has about 8 members, sextips about 2 or 3, and neither of them have any (public) posts. However, it might get people talking in those communities, which might generate more members.

Well, you know what happens when I don't know what to do...

[NOTE: The poll title was meant to be "Let's talk about sex!", but I totally forgot that apostrophes and standard poll coding do not mix.]
