HEY ALL KINGDOM HEARTS FANS ON MY F-LIST: My RL-friend Brian is running a KH character battle contest in December, but right now he needs character suggestions to fill out the brackets. Go make some!

Second here is a meme swiped from Bella and SSK that I predict will spread pretty quickly.

Give me a pairing and I will write a love note from one to another. The pairing can be my character and yours, mine and someone else's, or anything that strikes your fancy as long as I know who they are.

Will attempt to do tags and stuff today. In between cleaning my room and the bathroom. @_@a

I'm writing this now so I don't forget, cause there's only three weeks till Bill's party and Talia costume is not nearly done.

Things to do:
- Rework watch necklace
- Sew new buttons on jacket
- Get jacket and shirt drycleaned
- Make chaps
- Obtain boots
- Obtain more jewelry
- Obtain hat

"Congrats on the role of a lifetime, Gabourey Sidibe [star of upcoming Precious]. Self-esteem is a beautiful thing. But we should celebrate your performance, not your size. Obesity is a national epidemic."

You should feel proud, Gabourey Sidibe, but not too proud, because you're FAT. Remember being FAT? Being FAT is TERRIBLE and it should MAKE YOU FEEL TERRIBLE. And we all know FAT PEOPLE hate their FAT BODIES. Don't want to set a bad example for other FAT PEOPLE by being comfortable with your body image, do we? Then they might not think that LOSING WEIGHT is the BEST THING THEY COULD EVER DO!

Even worse than out and out fat-haters, I can't stand concern trolls.

Ganked from ormery and other folks.

- Take four (more later maybe) books off your bookshelf.
- Write the first sentence
- Write the last sentence on page fifty
- Write the second sentence on page one hundred
- Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
- Write the final sentence of the book
- Let your friends guess what book it is.

( Two of these are INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS and two are somewhat more obscure. )

Yesterday some spyware or malware or whatthefuckever (hopefully not a virus DX) got onto Lilith (my computer) and started incessantly opening Internet Explorer windows with some weird little picture saying something like "hey big boy" or I don't even know what. The page said it was redirected from AIM, so I unplugged my ethernet cable, restarted my computer, then uninstalled AIM and plugged it back in again. Luckily the pages didn't start appearing again. ::knocks on wood:: But I'm afraid to reinstall AIM.

Firstly, does anyone have any advice about what I should do to see if this thing is still in Lilith? I might as well confess now, my antivirus software is out of date (cause I can't afford buying it every few months) and I have no spyware or malware software (mostly because I have no idea what's good and won't harm my computer. I never had luck with programs like Spybot on my old computer, which I think hurt it more than it helped).

Secondly, does anyone have any recommendations for good messaging programs? I'm kind of paranoid about installing AIM on my computer again, though right now I'm using AIM express. I've tried Trillian in the past and couldn't figure it out.

I might use this opportunity to create a new screenname, perhaps to go along with my lovely new otter theme.

ETA: Damn, Edensphere has a lot of reserves. I see two Naruto characters as well, and I'm crossing my fingers that no one reserves/apps Naruto himself, because I still want him next round. I was going to app him this round, but then the Sebastian apper appeared and I COULD NOT RESIST.

Yesterday was one of those days where everything went wrong. Today has been better, mainly because MY MOM IS HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL \o/ I'm really glad about that. I saw her Saturday and Sunday at the hospital but that's not the same as having her home.

So I've belatedly decided to join the Nano race. \o\ /o/ I'm bored to tears all day at work anyway so I figure I might as well spend it writing. Of course this means that I have to write my novel in a notebook, and therefore won't get the credit and the winner's banner and etc if I do finish, unless I manage to type it all up before the end of November, which I never will. BUT WHATEVER. It also means that my word count will never be exact. I've figured 2000 words to be about 5 notebook pages, so that's what I'm going to aim for daily.

My novel is a fantasy western, in which the Pony Express is secretly a federal organization of young riders with horse magic. Yes.

...I feel like this story is a little too ambitious for me, BUT WHATEVER. Wish me luck, plox.

Roleplay Love Meme

Well it's been ages since I've participated in one of these. >->;

I think today took more of an emotional toll than I realized because right now I am missing my mom SO much and feeling like breaking down into tears. I feel so fucking lonely right now it is not even funny. .__.

Just got back from the hospital. Mom's surgery is done and went well, thank goodness. I saw her twice before leaving, once in the recovery room and then again in her hospital room. She's woozy but her pain is being managed. Thanks for your well-wishes.

I'm home alone tonight cause my stepdad is staying overnight at the hospital. I feel lonely. :(

I spelled it all out and everything, that's how serious it is. My mom's having (fairly major) surgery tomorrow. It's pretty much the tip of the iceberg, so...whatever prayers, good thoughts, healing energy etc you have to spare for her would be much appreciated.

My cat just threw up everywhere. Everywheeeere. On the stairs, in my room, and there was a HUGE puddle of it in the bathroom (that I wiped up with paper towels). The smell was so disgusting, I feel like I'm going to throw up myself. There go my plans to eat mac and cheese for dinner. 8|

Tags are sort of on their way to getting done. Now, however, I am taking a break to head over to the mall to have a burrito, look at down comforters because it is so motherfucking cold in my room all the time, and possibly see Where The Wild Things Are. If I still owe you a tag, feel free to poke me about it here so I don't forget later.

Lady on TV says soda is one of the worst foods you can eat with 17 teaspoons of sugar in every 20 oz bottle. The only soda I drink is Coke and I hate diet sodas...methinks I could stand to cut it out of my diet entirely. Work has free tea!

I'm gonna make THESE THINGS! \o/



And I know exactly how I'm gonna do it too. :DDD

::sob:: Why is the internet so booooooring I've had nothing to do all weekend. It's been one of those awful lethargic weekends. The tags I have I am totally unmotivated to do and the thread I do want to work on hasn't been tagged since Friday. I'd play Sims 2 but that's boring me as well.

::weeps for her endless hardships::

Give attention to meeeeeee~

the I AM meme

Following up on the last feminist article I posted, I think Rape Culture 101 over at Shakesville is a nice tie-in.

"Rape culture is 1 in 6 women being sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. Rape culture is not even talking about the reality that many women are sexually assaulted multiple times in their lives. Rape culture is the way in which the constant threat of sexual assault affects women's daily movements. Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you're alone, if you're with a stranger, if you're in a group, if you're in a group of strangers, if it's dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you're carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you're wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who's around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who's at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn't follow all the rules it's your fault."

We've all been given advice like this. We've all heard the insinuation underneath it that if we get raped or sexually assaulted, it's our fault. It doesn't mean that we follow this advice to the letter because if we don't we could get raped; we know that we can be raped anywhere, and under any circumstances. It's not paranoia to believe that. And it doesn't mean that we lock ourselves in our rooms and become recluses for the rest of our lives. I did not stop living after I was assaulted, though I haven't had sex since. And I don't deserve to be told that it was my fault for putting myself in the situation where I was assaulted, or somehow failing to make it clear enough that I did not want to do what that man tried to force on me. Nor do I deserve to be told to suck it up and get over it, or to be told that I have to take responsibility for where I go and what I do. What I deserve is to live in a world where the threat of being raped or assaulted is not something I have to deal with every day.
