Snow Days and Jack

3 Comments

I wonder if it’s only in West Virginia that “jack” is used as an adjective, as in “I didn’t work today because it was a snow day. I still didn’t get jack done.” I know what it’s short for, but I still wonder if it’s an Appalachian thing or not.

Anyway, I guess I did get a couple of things accomplished. I’ve now burned the first three seasons and the fifth season of SG-1 and have the rest dl’ing. I can’t believe I just watched this show for the first time last summer. Oh well, at least I was able to create a new obsession with it. I read where tonight’s LOST is the Hurley ep. Gawd, I hope they don’t mess this up.

Hobbit’s feeling better today and wants me to thank you guys for wishing her good thoughts. She will NOT, however, share her catnip. :evileye:

“E” that’s an “E”

I’m off to beg the state of WV to issue me a driver’s license since my Florida license expires Thursday. Yes, I know I haven’t lived in Florida for *counts fingers* 6 years, but damn, I wanted to get my money’s worth out of that one. If all goes well, I’ll have to take only the vision test, which I should be able to pass now that eye seems to be healed. I also have to get the oil changed in Anduril, but they said I could come in at any time.

Am I wrong?

I know it’s the spirit of giving and expecting nothing in return that makes the season. Now that that is out of the way, I have a question with a little background info. There is someone I know only online. I’ve never talked to this person via messenger or email or anything. The person is always referring to their family’s poverty. I feel for the person, because well, I see a lot of that here in WV. Anyway, the person has a lot of talent in graphics, web design, etc. So I upgraded the person’s LJ account as a gift unbeknownst to anyone.

Here’s the part that has me wondering: the response I got was “thanks.” I guess I was hoping for something that sounded a little more heartfelt, perhaps? I don’t know. I do know that I won’t do anything so rash and foolish in the name of goodwill again.

Side note: I miss Alex a whole bunch. Everytime I hear “Holland” I think of him. He was one of my first BtVS friends, and his visit here was just TOO short. Since he never posts on the C&S anymore, I have to try to track him down on messenger. So if you see this, Alex, *smooch* and give one to Ro, too!!
