"Don't Divorce Us." (passed on from authoressnebula

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 23:03:29 GMT

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

And then go here to read more about it and sign the petition, please.

I copy-pasted this from 2012ad's journal. Here's the way I see it: All these people will boycott LJ for a day or do something equally pointless; why not take a minute to do something that proves you're a good human being?

Apparently, an "artist" named Guillermo Vargas recently tied a stray dog up as a display in a gallery and starved him to death as a "statement" on the state of the world.

Click here to read the full story.

In this photo, you can see that the dog, named "Natividad," clearly has some sort of dermatological condition, quite possibly mange. Other photos showcase her emaciated body. The gallery, after much scrutinization, reported that the dog got free after only one day in the museum, according to the HSUS website. We may never know what actually happened, but the bottom line is that this artist claims to have starved the dog to death, is PROUD of this fact, and has been invited to participate with an identical display at the Visual Arts Biennial of Central America in 2008.

Artistic license does not extend so far as to allow a person to torture another sentient, living creature, and this sort of "art" should not be accepted or glorified!

Please, please, please sign the following petition and tell others to do the same!

Click here to sign.

Thanks.

Animal cruelty isn't art. :\ I know I have good-hearted people on my list, so I'll repost this link again for the people who aren't inclined to click the cut: Click here to sign the petition and at least build up some karma, damn it.

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 18:18:09 GMT

Dear assorted strangers on various messengers,

1. I'm not going to send you a picture.
2. No, I'm not "looking for a little fun," especially if you think I have a boyfriend. You messaged me, asshole. If I were the one looking for fun, it would have been the other way, no?
3. Everything you could tell me? I don't give a shit. "My girlfriend's a satanist." Don't care. "I have a big dick." Don't care. "I'm looking for a BDSM mistress." Have you tried a special message board? Also, DON'T CARE. "I like to cross dress. Let's talk about makeup! You can ask me anything!" Picture, please. Oh, you don't have one? Don't care, then.
5. You're 36. Why are you sniffing around a 22 year old?

You are STRANGERS. If I knew you for longer than three minutes, I'd be much more likely to give a shit. But, I don't. Learn proper 'netiquette, damn it.

Mary Sue VS Anti-Mary Sue

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 06:34:59 GMT

So, we're all familiar with the Mary Sue trend. That gorgeous, brilliant, multi-talented, universally loved creature whose eyes sparkle like diamonds. But there's a trend that's just as annoying: The Anti-Mary Sue.

The Anti-Mary Sue is a radically different creature. She's universally despised, usually unattractive and has nothing redeemable about herself. At all. She has no friends, she's not really smart, and has no discernible talent.

And she's just as bad as Mary Sue. Congratulations, you've created another type! While you're defending your OC because she sucks as a human being, remember that.

Everyone has one thing they're good at, some form of smarts, and has at least one person they don't offend by existing.

Harry Potter kicked ass and we dressed up. I was Molly Weasley, naturally. It was kind of exciting, how many people knew who I was supposed to be. I was all, wheeeeeeee!

Anyway, I got a new tat. It's the mark of Artemis (and Dark-Hunters in the series I've become obsessed with).

There are variations, and I love the way it turned out. Jess is my favorite tattoo artist ever!

From the Wikipedia article on Ben Lee The Ataris criticize Ben Lee in a song of the same name, citing his music being "pretentious noise" and that he was lucky that he knew the Beastie Boys.

The only reason I know who The Ataris is, is because of the (awful) cover of Don Henley's Boys of Summer.

I haven't had the hate-hate relationship with VM that so many people have had lately, so I'm conflicted.

So, I liked the MOTW. Even though I understood where he was coming from, I would have preferred it if the vandalizing fuck had gone to jail for what he did. A hate crime is a hate crime.

Oh, Sheriff Mars! He reminded me of why I love Keith, again! Bon Jovi and Biggie Smalls. Heh!

Veronica and Dick. Hmm. I was admittedly amused by the need for fortitude and that she wiped the flask off first. See saw him drink first, and unless he has trouble sleeping, I don't think he'd roofie himself. But, I could always be wrong.

The party. Hmm. Logan mumbled so much this episode, but he looked hot, too. Was he really snarky? Because I had some trouble understanding him most of the time. Was there some significance to Parker giving Veronica a piece of cake with Logan's face on it? I thought she'd ask for it, to be honest. But then, I'm a little crazy.

Piz and Veronica. PIZ AND VERONICA!:!?>!?@ That kiss looked...
Awkward and painful. Fuck you, Piz. Maybe Veronica has a masochistic streak, too, if she rushed after him to engage in my AWKWARD AND PAINFUL-LOOKING kissing.

I'm dreadfully confused, though. Everyone's saying the guy who's visa expired was the owner's brother. But...the girl said that her dad wanted her to marry him. I...don't see him getting his daughter to marry his brother, even if it would keep him in the country.

One set of answers:

I took the "The Nine Muses" quiz on gURL.com
		My muse is... Calliope Calliope is the patron goddess of epic poetry. She is often depicted holding a writing tablet and wearing a golden crown, for she is the oldest of the muses and their leader. Her name means "The Fair Voiced," but Calliope inspires eloquence in writing. Read more... Who is your muse?

Other set (I got a bonus question, because the muses for comedy, astonomy, and history were fighting it out. :p):

I took the "The Nine Muses" quiz on gURL.com
		My muse is... Urania Urania is the patron goddess of astronomy. Her name means "Heavenly" because she keeps her sights on the stars. Often depicted with a globe, Urania can elevate her followers to great fame. Read more... Who is your muse?

Do you ever look back at old friendships and think, "Damn, I miss that."? You spend time thinking about the good times and that awesome first stage of friendship, and think that maybe you should call or email that old friend. Then you realize that the final stages of the friendship sucked, and that a reunion wouldn't work. You know yourself too well this time around.

Brandie's sincere letter to Taco Bell

[Brandie's] sincere letter to Taco Bell

Taco Bell is awesome. No, seriously. Why, you ask? Well, picture this: A small group of young adults driving in a red ford focus cruising down one of the busiest street cities, during rush hour. Now, turning into the opposite side of the road to our nearest taco bell is QUITE the accomplishment. However, due to traffic..we were sitting. (and sitting..and sitting..hunger compounding all this while..) The craving for taco bell took over, and our dear friend risked his life and rushed out the car into the oncoming traffic to stop the vehicles heading in our way of delicious nacho grandes. (and grill stuffed burritos).

He then, after stopping traffic, directed us in. (Much like a airport associate) He then, in turn, gave the thumbs up to several cars waiting, bewildered by his actions.

May I just say, that it was the best taco bell meal I've ever had.

Thank you Taco Bell,

For making it all possible.

Much Love and Adoration,

4 Hungry Twenty-somethings.

Brandie is the awesome. :|

If you have to bash characters to make a pairing work, you probably should just give up.
Turning Xander into an OOC asshole/rapist/moron isn't going to make your Buffy/Spike or Buffy/Angel fic work. I'm sorry to have to break that news to you.

Xander is not a major obstacle. On the show, when did he ever go out of his way to make her not date someone? He may not have *liked* it, but he didn't try to make her choose between him and Angel/Spike. So yeah, stop it. Stop it right now.

Xander thanks you for your time. He also says you kind of suck if your pairing is CANON and you have to resort to name-calling and dragging his reputation through the mud.

Anyway, I have been sick for over a week now, but I'm starting to feel better. Which is good.

But I hurt myself at work yesterday, which is bad.

I was watching self-check when a woman came over and asked if I had scissors (which I did) and if I could cut the security tag off of a pair of sunglasses she bought. So, being helpful, I did. Somehow, my sleep-deprived and cold-fogged mind managed to not notice that the scissors met my left hand, and I cut a 'V' into my middle finger at the same time the tag snipped off. The woman did apologize when she realized what happened, but I told her it wasn't her fault, and it probably would've happened anyway, as clumsy as I am. Even though it was kind of deep and bleeding, the pain didn't beat the shock down until I told a CSM that I'd cut myself and asked if she could pull someone to watch S-C and repeated it a second time. The second time was when the pain kicked in and I started crying.

The water burned, and I realized I'd definitely need something more to clean it. After grabbing some clean paper towels, I made my way to the service desk and first aid kit. To make a long story shorter, I ended up in the bathroom with two associates who are also EMTs, a cashier (the one who gives me knowing looks when I talk to Sean) with medical training, another cashier holding my hand, and various others coming to check on me during the 30 minute time frame when they cleaned the wound for me and joked to make me laugh and stop crying. Like how it'd be a good time for me to be on express. "The sign says 'Ten items or less' *Holds up hand, thus subtly flipping them off with the bandaged finger*"

Aside from wanting to share the fact that I ended up injured, I also wanted to say that this is a big part of why I like working there. Even if the managers are stupid sometimes, and policies are stupider, and there are negative opinions in articles and books, the people I work with do care. Several woman came through and asked what happened (another surprising case of customer concern), and at one point, the knowing-look-cashier made the comment "This is how we take care of our own." With at least four people at any given time offering comfort and cleaning wounds.

All Hail The Heartbreaker by The Spill Canvas

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And overanalyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your undecisive mind shows me that
You are "just another [boy]"
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
Maybe then you'd know how I feel

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And overanalyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

I will sleep another day
I don't really need to anyway
What's the point when my dreams are infected
With words you used to say
I will breathe in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about this constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
I guess that's how this one's gonna go I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim
All hail the heartbreaker

The best part of Veronica Mars had to be Little Girl God from Joan of Arcadia basically babysitting Logan! I loved her on that show, and it took me a couple of minutes to recognize her without the huge glasses and crazy headgear.

That makes me happy.
It's not a character problem that bothered or even really a script problem, but the fact that her sister was such a bitch about them being gone and keeping her waiting for twenty minutes when she LEFT TOWN WITHOUT A WORD! For two days! And didn't even think about her sister until she was on her way back and it didn't matter if the girl took her Prozac or not. Sadly, it was a little too realistic of people I've encountered.

Logan was pathetic.
Nick Lachey was a typical choice for an eleven-year-old, which was funny, yes, but...I doubt Veronica really thought Logan would pick that song. I think they both have better taste in that.
I think I watch too many crime shows, because my first thought during the elevator scene was, "Well...that looks awkward and incrimidating."
I miss Dean O'Dell.
And I hate Mason. I don't know or care if he's lying, it's just I remember the actor from some sucky show on Snick and have hated him since then.

Ahem. So, authoressnebula seems to have a space fascination as well, and I came across these pretty, pretty pictures.

The caption: This image resembling Vincent van Gogh's painting, "Starry Night," is Hubble's latest view of an expanding halo of light around a distant star, named V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon).

These make me wish I could live out there. I hope you enjoy. :D
