My favorite comment thread this week. Let’s all give a hand for being a good sport!

I bought a new purse last night after work, and a new wallet. Both are very small– I might be able to fit a NaNoWriMo small notebook in the purse somewhere, but not the big journally book I’ve been using for my notes. They’re also very cute– I like them!

This weekend’s plan/schedule:

Today/Tonight:
Call in cat prescription.
Call gamers re: food tomorrow night.
Make appt. at Honda for finishing the car work, and to “discuss” the 60 miles driven last time.

Bring guitar home.
Declutter the piano.

Oh, my, that’s a long list!

Here’s my super-secret method for preventing identity theft online.

Most people trying to steal my identity will end up at my LiveJournal, which they will mine for information.

My “plan” (and it seems to be working) is to fill my journal with so much fluff, that potential identity thieves will be bored to death in reading it. This will result in one fewer identity theif in the world, and I will be safe.

Quizilla, Friday Fives, and every lame meme that makes the rounds must go into my journal, posted immediately. I must post every 2 hours, plus after meals, to keep the posting rates high, high, high!

Only then will we all be safe!

Disclaimer: This process does not actually work. Author makes no claims of being able to prevent identity theft at all.
