A bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils.

The sky is slowly starting to turn that deep autumn blue that's so pretty. Stephanie Peterson (remember her, fiara?) used to call it "Colorado blue" when we were in elementary and middle school. Another one of the many reasons fall is my favorite season. Hmmm, now that I just finished winterizing my LJ, I kind of feel the desire to autumnize it. Pretty reds and yellows...

Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev are "taking a break from competitive skating." Waaah! Who am I going to drool over at US nationals this year?? *pout* Granted, with the blond hair dye, Peter dropped way down on the porn list last season, but his hair was still long and he was still hot! I guess I can still drool over Matt Savoie and Johnny Weir, even if their hair isn't as long, but it won't be the same, 'cause the singles skaters just don't have the same porn sensability that the ice dancers do. And there's still the international events all the rest of the season, with pretty French and Russian and German skaters. Hey, maybe we'll see Pechalat & Bourzat (the Anissina/Peizerat clones) this year! *writes letters to ABC* *wonders if Gambier's cable service is close enough to the Canadian border to get Canadian channels*

Ahem. And now, in case you were wondering, you know why my username is "icepixie." Yep. This is what made me lose my anti-hormone title.

Spent the afternoon at K-Mart today. The good thing about sophomore year at college is that I bought or inherited a lot of the reusable stuff I need (towels, fridge, microwave, shower shoes, desk lamps, etc. etc.) last year, but they haven't broken or worn out yet, so this year all I had to get was laundry soap and notebooks and stuff like that that needs to be replaced. (KMart has one-subject notebooks for 13 cents and binders for a buck now, BTW, if anyone's in the market for those kinds of things. Yay back to school sales which come even earlier in Nashville 'cause the K-12 students go back Monday! God, I hated that when I was still a part of this school system. Although we usually got out before Memorial Day, so that was good, too...) I also got some pretty tank tops and various underwear-type things. I really, really like this greenish tank top that has gold jewels on it and a faded old-time circus theme goin' on. It says "Acrobat At Heart"--which I am most certainly not, but it's pretty anyway--on the front, with a little poem about being an acrobat underneath.

I can't believe I have exactly three weeks until classes start at Kenyon. There's something wrong with that.

You don't know me, but Shaye suggested a look at your icons for Bujold fans (which I definitely am) and I just had to give major kudos! I _love_ your icon! So funny! So perfect!
