Well, I guess I have to finally use the Memories feature. And more random stuff.

I've been putting links to some entries in the Links List available for this Style of LJ, but I've reached the maximum number.

My memories are all filled with reference stuff and fics and art that I liked. I'll have to try to come up with new keywords and do an entire listing of entries from my own LJ instead. But it annoys me a little. I like having the links right there on the page, for easy viewing. I think fewer people look at memories than the links on the page. I know I do.

I got a few things accomplished today...pen_and_umbra, I finally have the package ready, will be sending it out on Friday. I also cleaned up a little and did the grocery shopping. There wasn't anything in the fridge. At the check out I had exactly $110 in my pocket and the total came to $109.49. Go me!

The ratio of livejournal entries I've thought of vs. livejournal entires I've actually posted is about 3:1.

I really wish that I could have gone to TWH. If it's on the same weekend next year, then it will be a no again, because I've found a different show that I want to try.

I can't wait to write the next two chapters. I'm nearly done working out the beginning in my head. I just hope I don't miss any details.

I like the new Disturbed CD, though the best two tracks I've already heard on the radio. I like the new Kanye West CD, ditto. I am not getting into the new Coheed & Cambria CD.

Kate Bush's new CD is coming out! GoF is coming out! I really hope to get to a line party this time.

Oh, and another eBay learning experience.

I put up these magazines I bought when I was around 10-13 in lots of three. Guy from Italy sends me a message asking me if I can ship to Italy. Sure, I replied, it's $12. Well, he gets three lots, and I think, hmm, this is going to be more than $12 shipping, but I've already quoted him $12, and he doesn't seem to understand English really well, so I just go ahead and invoice it at $12. It turns out to be $25 shipping.

I should also mention that these mags seem to sell for $5-8 each on eBay, and I did lots of three, and started them at $0.50 each to get the bidding going. So the Italian guy got three lots at $0.50 each, and they cost $0.70 each to list. So you see, I am already out $13 + $0.60 + Paypal fees, etc.

The address seemed a little strange, but it had an apartment number, so I just went ahead and shipped it EXACTLY as it was listed in the Paypal payment notification.

It came back.

I sent an email explaining, and I tried to be very clear. I typed out exactly what was in the invoice. He replied with: "I beleave mail has returned... You did not write my name in the address!! How can it got me?" I replied again with "This is exactly what YOU have listed with Paypal."

I thought about it and thought about it, and finally chalked the whole thing up to a learning experience and shipped it again with the name on the box. Another $25. An expensive learning experience.

Then someone told me, "You should have refunded him his money and not sent it out again." *headdesk* Some days I really am obtuse.
