Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In September I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last week on a flight to Pakistan, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). In October I helped kelinswriter see the light (8 points). Last Wednesday I turned jetgirl78 in for running naked in the mall (3 points). Last Friday I set lilydales's puppy on fire (-66 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-171 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, QueenMaharet

You're probably all aware that Livejournal now allows you to repost comments to Facebook and Twitter. This is a very unpopular new feature. Firefox has an addon that hides the new Facebook / Twitter repost ticky boxes. But here's a little line of code you can use to make it so that no one, no matter what browser they're using, can repost comments.

.b-repost-item {display:none}

Here's what to do:

1. Go to Custom CSS in Customize Journal Style.

2. Copy and paste .b-repost-item {display:none} into the Custom stylesheet box and save changes.

Voila! As you can see the boxes are hidden on the comm now :)

FYI I did not write this but I was doing the rounds on my f-list and I encourage you to share it.

In other news, I witnessed my best friend get married last weekend in Colorado. And it was spectacular.

( Real life - who knew? )

From the sheer & utter joy and beauty of my best friend's wedding to the endless joy of Bo & Nora's wedding, June has thus far been positively swoon-worthy. Now, I just need someone to hold me forever...

( A few final thoughts... )

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. And impossibly sad. It's over. I'm not ready to go into the light. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. *sniff*

A.  List seven (7) habits/quirks/facts about yourself

1) I'm a trivia nerd. I DVR Jeopardy & Cash Cab. Shut up. I do quite well.
2) I desperately fear old food. Blue Cheese sends me into convulsions. Seriously.
3) I need to separate my food. And that's only the beginning. My food "peccadilloes" could fill this list and beyond.
4) I must put lotion on my hands and lip balm on my lips before I go to bed every night. IT'S NECESSARY.
5) Because I am trained and certified, I cannot stand when a TV show does a "HAZMAT Situation". It's always wrong. Always.
6) I talk back to the television. Specifically, when I watch soaps. I know they can't hear me, but I feel better when I let out my rage. Heh.
7) While my LJ offers no proof, I am deeply disturbed by humanity's non-existent grasp of grammar. Also, the who/whom/their/they're/that/which debate. It confounds me that people can be so flippant with their choice of words and how they present themselves in that respect. Maybe that's why I love Castle so much? Yes, that is why I love Castle so much (that, and my inexplicable crush on Nathan Fillion). Hee.

Wow. That sucked. I hate analyzing myself.

Also? This. Snoop Dogg needs to move next door to Bo & Nora and never leave. He's awesome.



I am a pointless human being. Meh.

I've been hibernating the past couple of days, gearing up for the emotional onslaught that is sure to comprise the next few days. I've also been distracting (read: entertaining) myself the best way I know how: with a twenty year obsession. That's right: Soaps. What else?




I have been following the We Love Soaps 50 Greatest Soap Actresses of All Time religiously, and now that we are quickly approaching the final three, I must admit that I am incredibly disappointed. As someone who has watched at least eight soaps over the last two decades, I feel as though I have a weighted opinion on the matter. I may be exaggerating my level of knowledge here, however I don't think that is likely the case. But I digress... While there are many actresses on this list who are unequivocally deserving, I think that some omissions are not only glaring, but egregious. I also highly disagree with the "placement" of the Top 6.

First of all, with only three slots remaining, the list SHOULD finish out as such:

3. Susan Flannery
2. Kim Zimmer
1. Erika Slezak

Any variation on that and this list is truly a disgrace. That said, in my humble and far-too-informed opinion, the Top 6 SHOULD have been:



Am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong.

( "Honorable Mentions". Or "Grievous Omissions". Take your pick. )

The most amazing thing about this list? It was a piece of cake to compile. Because those actresses are just. that. obvious. I could probably add another fifty actresses without breaking a sweat, but I won't. In part, because this entry would become ungodly long, and in part because I cannot think of anyone else at the moment. Heh. But please, weigh in and offer your opinions.

Which favorite of yours was scandalously omitted?
