One of the things I like so very much about fangirl wanks is the unexpected delight of voyeurism. It's like a free window into the things that other people like. I don't quite know why I think this is so much fun, but I do. For example, take a look at this list of the sorts of things that part of HP fandom would like to read. It's delightful. It's practically porn-on-tap, but the sheer variety of requests... the mind boggles.

And, well, the brief flashes of psyche that we get to see when people provide the writing prompts -- they're all sparkley. That's the best part, I think.

I got the chest of drawers that was left in heroin-dealing tenant's apartment. It's in my house now and I've given it a good once-over to be bloody sure it's a project within the realm of the feasible and worthwhile.

( Sometimes I talk about stuff besides porn. )

I also counted out my change jar (actually a large ceramic flower pot) this evening. I do round dollar amounts for each coin set (the odd bits get thrown back in the jar to breed more money) and I came up with $81.00 in the change jar -- it had been high-graded for quarters a number of times because I don't carry much cash, don't have an ATM card, and frequently root through the change jar for walking-around money. Of that, seven dollars was in pennies. Tomorrow, I'll take it in to the bank where they will run it through their machine and count it for me. As far as I know, this is a free service of my bank -- they didn't charge me the last time I took change in to be counted. The reason I count it first is so that I will know if I'm being cheated. :)

What happens to pocket change at your house? Do you have a change jar? Do you carefully organize your life so that there is no NEED for a change jar? Do you fish the change out of the washer and immediately run off to spend it? What's the deal? Tell me!
