Possum tails.

I realised I've been a tad neglectful of my LJ lately in te face of shiny RP distraction, but the RP has dropped off today as well as the work, so I have the time and the urge to let you folks know what's been happening in my oh-so-mundane life.

Most of you know I moved house last weekend. If you don't, shame on you for missing that very important post. *grins* Any way, the last few days have been an ongoing catalogue of the pros and cons of my new abode, as you do. There's some stuff that just doesn't show up until you've slept and tried to cook in a place, y'know?

Any way, the pros list is still vastly outweighing the cons. About the only thing I can find wrong is the traffic noise, and I'm getting used to that. Added to the pros list (on top of balcony for the growing of herbs, sun porch for the lounging of friends in summer, huge rooms and gas heater in the lounge room) were the following:

* the ride into work is 2km longer but takes only an extra 5 minutes - it's a nice, clear run with far fewer traffic lights and I can get some serious pace going. It's wonderful being able to go full throttle again.

* there is storage space for my boxes, meaning I don't have to toss them out and scrounge more for the next time I move house.

* the beach is only ten minutes' walk away, a fact I shall be taking advantage sometime soon. Possibly tonight after dropping the condition report off at the estate agents; it's going to be a hot and sticky ride back today. :P

* there are two baby ringtail possums living in the space above the back balcony where the back door is. I met them last night, looking for the fuse box so I could turn my power on, and they're the most adorable things. Not like those ugly American possums at all. It's funny, I was saying at Healesville Sanctuary that if I could have a pet possum I wouldn't want a cat, and now I have two practically on my doorstep. The best part is they aren't actually in my ceiling, since then they would be annoying rather than cute.

* there's more than enough space to host gatherings of various people. Which means a less-wiggy Rossi next GASP since I won't have that whole claustrophobic thing going on.

It has been decided

It has been decided I need some new icons. And furthermore, it has been decided that one of those icons should be a Firefly one with the words, "Take me, Captain, take me hard" on it somewhere, and the other one shall be from the movie version of He Died With A Falafel In His Hand. Possibly something with the quote: "You desire what you hate, and you hate what you desire," and maybe even the pic of Danny standing in the rain with the rose, although [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] may protest about that seeing how that's her favourite scene. But hey, since she won't get a real boyfriend for me to steal, I'll have to settle for the imaginary ones.

Finally it has been decided that someone else is going to have to be an absolute angel and achieve this for me since I have no mad icon skillz whatsoever.

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] also needs one more icon, but I have yet to find a suitable topic for that one. Although [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] was lovely and put some words on one of the pics for me. :)

*looks hopeful* Anyone want to help with my decision-making process?
