In no particular order (narrowing it down to 11 was hard enough, if I had to sort these ones into most day-making order my head would probably explode) eleven people on LJ who make my day:
clovermews

remuslives23
roterhimmel

Alright, I cheated, the last one is a comm. It is a FANTASTIC comm where the two main expressions of my geekery are united forever in one big geeky mess.
Today's writers block question is about words to live by or something. I find that 'Fuck, fuck, exclamation mark, me' from Roddy Doyle's The Commitments pretty much covers all bases.
eta: whatthehell. I'm superbored so here is a survey meme thing.
1. Where is your cell phone? Umm. Pass. I think it may be in my room.
2. Your significant other? My SO = my phd. NO IT IS NOT LAME
3. Your hair? Just got it cut on Friday so fairly okayish. For, you know. A frizzy ball of death.
4. Your mother? Brilliant. We don't have much in common but she is ace.
5. Your father? WHO KNOWS. He hasn't spoken to me for like two weeks. I have no idea why. He does these things, he's a bit of a tosser (we have lots in common, alas).
6. Your favorite thing? books?
7. Your dream last night? don't remember one.
8. Your favorite drink? hot chocolate
9. Your dream/goal? to be a lecturer/researcher type person.
10. What room you are in? the spare one?
11. Your hobby? writing
12. Your fear? spiders. sorry to be such a girly cliche but egads they are VILE.
13. Where do you want to be in 6 years? qualified and employed and all that good stuff
14. Where were you last night? sacked out in front of the telly feeling sad until I saw that How High was on.
16. Muffins? blueberry.
17. Wish list item? seeing as I am bingeing on the man right now, Tom Waits tickets.
18. Where you grew up? Kent
19. Last thing you did? other than fairly passive things like watching telly and surfing the net, i guess making dinner? home made raita, btw. I win!
20. What are you wearing? jeans and a grey sweatshirt. I am a queen of glam.
21. Your TV? fairly small and really annoyingly slow to react the the remote control.
22. Your pet? my cat.
23. Friends? ace.
24. Your life? so much better than i thought it would be
25. Your mood? alright
26. Missing some one? YES my friend with her dumb international-travel job. bah.
27. Car? don't drive.
28. Something you're not wearing? my ring. ahh shit where is it :(
29. Your favorite store? I hate shopping. No that's a lie, I love it, I'm just too fucking poor to do any interesting shopping. I can't actually remember the last time I purchased something that was not completely functional.
30. Your favorite color? Purple
33. When is the last time you laughed? tonight, watching this superbly dumb show presented by Richard Hammond (who, incidentally, I would quite like to hug to death).
34. Last time you cried? yesterday
35. Who will resend this? whut?
36. One place that I go to over and over? the library
37. One person who emails me regularly? err...my supervisor?
38. My favorite place to eat? wagamama. i would kill or die for a slice of their white choc and ginger cheesecake right now.
39. Why you participated in this survey? because i am INSANELY BORED.
40. What are you doing tonight? trying to write, probably.
STILL BORED. Amuse me?
eta2: Actually, instead of amusing me, you could help me out with this. I need some vaguely cliched story opening lines for a fic. So, stuff like 'it was a dark and stormy night', or 'long ago in a galaxy far away'. My brain does not have its cliche head on tonight and I am totally stumped.
