Are you active on Twitter or Google Reader?
For the past couple months, I have moved a lot of things from this journal onto Google Reader and Twitter. Not necessarily by choice, it just sort of happened. So, this is sort of my open friending post.
Twitter.
Google Reader.
If you are on Twitter already, I highly recommend a few people I've been following lately.
Ana Marie Cox. Reporter for Time and Washington Editor for Radar. She's currently in the McCain campaign press pool. Also often appears on Rachel Maddow's show.
Ari Melber. Reporter for the Washington Independent, who is in Obama's press pool and wrote this awesome article on YesWeCarve.com, a website with Obama stencils for your Halloween pumpkins!
Rachel Sklar. Writer for Huffington Post, who frequently livetwits events and SNL. She covered a great event last week with Colbert and people from The Daily Show.

| The Fringe Pilot |
[11 Oct 2008|10:22pm] |
I have Fringe on in the background on mute. I'm only interested in watching it once Pacey... um Joshua Jackson shows up. Hey, notice, it's another show with a blonde female lead and a dark haired male lead. How dull.
I wasn't overly impressed by the pilot. It was ok. Kinda gross in places. And I liked the interaction between Pacey and his dad. But I wasn't surprise by the twist and on the whole I just thought it was ok. :)

| Strictly Come Dancing- That Woman From Eastenders. |
[11 Oct 2008|06:36pm] |

Sometimes, on this show, I wonder at the song choices. And sometimes I wonder if the chosen songs would have been better if they had been performed differently/well. I wondered both with KatFromEastenders song. (She was called Kat in Eastenders right? All I know is that plotline about her character and the Bionic Woman.)

[11 Oct 2008|07:30am] |
I have a confession to make....
I am totally addicted to the BBC version of Cash in the Attic. I stay up nearly every night until 5AM and to watch it on BBC America.
I just love Alistair and Jonty!! (They are my new OTP!!) LOL!!
I love all the innuendo... well at least it is innuendo to me. And all the knickknack fondling.

I know most of you have heard of the Prop 8 ballot initiative going on in California that would alter the state Constitution to ban gay marriage. I won't preach to the choir, but I will do a little plug.
Brian Devine of Calitics is doing a weekend challenge to support money for No on Prop 8. He is matching all donations up to $1,000. You can donate for the challenge through ActBlue.
Chip in if you can. Prop 8 is being largely funded by out of state donors and the LDS church, and while I remain cautiously optimistic about the defeat, I don't want to take the risk of this horrible proposition passing in my California.

um, i could not let today go by without a little love for the connecticut surpreme court. woooo! i know that it's a long road to real marriage equality but i swear, bit by bit, i know down to my soul, that we're going to get there. we are. it's coming. and i'm sorry, i try and be, at least adult about it, but the bigots can suck it. it's coming, and maybe it's not today, but i sincerely believe my kids will grow up in a world where this isn't an issue anymore, and that's what i'm fighting for.
in other news, i may have mainlined all of s3 supernatural recently. um, i think i'm hooked again. dammit. but, but. BOYS. SHOW. LOVE.
also, i've started watching the wire. um, how did i miss this for like five years?
ps - happy belated birthday ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) outoftime!

I've got deadlines piling up like a train wreck, but I'm finding it difficult to start.
Yesterday I saw this post on LJ Secret which said "I'm so afraid of failure that I will never try". I'm more afraid of dying a failure because I never got over myself and got off my ass to start writing.
Speaking of putting my stuff out there, I'm seriously considering trying out for the DT of Scrapbooking From The Inside Out. A scrapbooking friend, Bjay, is already a part of their DT, and I've always loved her stuff.
I hope I hope I hope... I may not make DT, but at least I can prove it to myself that I'm not so bad at this.

Pii's moved out a week, and I still feel like I'm looking forward to him coming home every night. It gets really lonesome. However, I'm glad he's moving forward, trying new things, and making his mark on the world. Happiness. :)
I haven't cleaned house as much as I would like to have done before Samhain... only three weeks away.
The weather's giving me and Fire asthma, but we hope to adjust in time to go out of town with my family on the first week of November. We both desperately need the break.

| 555 Episodes |
[10 Oct 2008|02:59am] |
There's a community called ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) 555episodes where the challenge is to watch 555 episodes of tv in a year. Which makes me wonder whether I could do it. But then, thinking about it, that's, what, 10 and a bit episodes a week? I think I so could do it, if you consider that, off the top of my head, I've watched 3 seasons (and 7 eps of season 4) of B5, all of Sunset Strip, 8 episodes of Moonlight, 11 episodes of Blood Ties, a season of Chuck, a season and a half of Stargate, half a season of The West Wing, at least 10 epsodes of BSG, however much Doctor Who I've seen this year, endless repeats of Star Trek (various shows), every episode of The Big Bang Theory so far, um.... at least a season of House, Supernatural, and... oh I'm just going to list shows now Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Merlin, Bonekickers, Silent Witness, Jane Austen adaptations (various), Lost in Austen, um... basically... the point is... I may watch too much TV. :S
Lol.

| Bilan de mi-session = Pitoyable.. surtout de ma part |
[08 Oct 2008|08:22pm] |
Sérieusement, mon déménagement a très mal tombé ou j'ai mis trop de temps sur un projet (car j'avais de la difficulté dans Flash) alors j'ai mis moins de temps sur ce que j'aurais du faire. En faite, il y a tout plein de raisons. Comme le shooting avec Patrice Landreville. Ouin avoir su j'aurais pas du accepter même si j'ai adoré le faire, sauf qu'à la fin de la journée j'avais pu d'énergie pour quoi que ce soit. Ma prof me laisse une autre chance.. mais c'est à prévoir que j'aurais pas une note extraordinaire. C'est tout à fait comprenable! Disons que j'étais gênée à la remise, mais bon.
Je vais me reprendre le prochain coup. Croyez moi sur parole! Plus de shootings, j'ai pu vraiment le temps. Peut-être à la fin de la session.... J'ai voulu en refaire car on me parle tellement de mon shooting avec Art Irritant. On me trouve belle et confiante. C'est ce que je pense aussi. Je suis belle là dessus mais ça m'empêche pas d'envier certaines de mes collègues AI. N'ayez crainte les filles ! JE me trouve belle comme je suis comme je vous trouve belle également.
IL y a plusieurs travaux qui s'en viennent dont plusieurs très intéressants. Celui du clip vidéo est très intéressant. En premier nous étions supposés de prendre la chanson reprise de Marilyn Manson "This is Halloween". Mon professeur avait trop peur qu'on tombe dans le cliché. Nous étions revenu vers lui justement avant qu'il nous revienne sur le sujet. Un de mes amis était pas très content. On a évalué quand même les possibilités. Mais ma chanson proposé était plus meilleur pour un concept. J'ai proposé Just like you de 3 days grace. L'idée a plu a tout le monde. Mais pas le concept. On l'a retravaillé et on a ensuite sorti quelque chose de plus crédible.
Mon déménagement cette fois. Je me suis procuré un nouveau lit et une nouvelle chaise pour mon bureau. Enfin un nouveau lit! Ça faisait comme 2 semaines que je dormais sur un matelas gonflable! OH joie! Mais la je dois réemménager ma chambre car je n'ai presque plus d'espace. Hé oui.
Nous avons fêté notre arrivée dans cet appartement samedi dernier. Ça avait bien commencé. J'ai eu une très belle surprise. Je ne m'attendais plus du tout que David vienne faire un tour. Disons que j'avais faite mon deuil de ne pas le voir a mon party. Geneviève est venu faire son tour... elle est venu me rejoindre au concorde et ensuite nous avons parcouru le chemin du retour ensemble. Ma belle audrey = ma audrey au carré! est également venu. Je te remercie tout plein puce. T'as su me remonter le moral après le party. Hé oui vous devinez sans doute que ça dérapé. Pourtant tout allait bien. mais il fallait qu'il y a une personne qui ne sache pas boire du tout. Et cette personne. C'est Marc. C'est celui pour qui j'ai eu un faible en début de session mais il m'avait repoussé. On est resté amis. Alors c'était pour cette raison que je l'avais invité à mon party. Je croyais être guéri de lui mais en constatant ma tristesse à la fin de la soirée.. j'ai du remarqué que non. Mais aussi j'avais comme une impression de déja vu. Dominic... Fred... ils ne savent pas boire ou ils virent du tout au tout avec de l'alcool. My god. Non NON! Ça va pas recommencer! Une chance qu'il ma repoussé.
En faite, je commençais a le trouver bizarre au courant de la soirée. Il a commencé à insulter mon amie Cath et aussi un peu Audrey. Il a pris sa guitare et son manteau et il est parti sans prévenir personne. Je l'ai suivi car je l'ai vu faire... Je l'ai arrêté pour ne pas qu'il prenne son char. Mais il a agi bizz avec moi comme si sa blonde n'était pas dans le portrait. Il me tenais par la taille et me regardait d'une façon très douce. J'ai essayé de le convaincre de ne pas prendre son auto car cela causerait beaucoup de peine. à qui? Ben à stef, à moi pis aussi à ta blonde. Il a rien dit il a même pas approuvé à propos d'elle. Hé ben.... Est-ce qu'il était saoul ou ben elle ne représente pas grand chose... :S Tant qu'à ça. Je n'aimerais pas trop être à la place de sa blonde. Sa coloc l'a vu et elle aussi à son tour a voulu l'en empêcher de partir. Il y a eu tout plein de péripéties que je n'ai pas vu car j'étais sur le coup de l'émotion. J'ai su que stef s'est fait rentré dans le mur par Marc car il était devenu agressif. OUf.... :S . Après cette soirée, sa décision était prise, stef devait déménager. L'amitié entre elle et lui était quasiment tuée. J'en ai pleuré, car je la trouvais belle cette amitié mais je comprenais ce qui se passait. Maintenant ce que j'aimerais ce qu'il nous fasse des excuses à moi et ma Memi. On était très gênées. On a eu une plainte à cause de lui mais bon. En tk je chercherais pas cette excuse. Quoique son amitié me manque beaucoup. Mais je dois me résoudre à me guérir. J'avais beaucoup d'affection pour lui, car c'est un amour à jeun. Mais je n'aime pas ce côté que j'ai vu samedi dernier. Trop de mauvais souvenirs me reviennent en tête...
Je dois tourner cette page et me concentrer sur ce qui est plus important. J'ai comme trop tendance à délaisser plusieurs affaires lorsque je suis attaché à quelqu'un. En tk.

| Birth Control Woes |
[09 Oct 2008|03:51pm] |
Calling anyone on my flist who is on birth control or has been on birth control. I need your help and your wisdom.
Have any of you ever experienced a lack of sex drive or a diminished sex drive as a result of the pill, regardless of which pills you've taken?
I have a feeling that the pill I'm on currently is having this affect on me and I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. It's not really listed as a common side effect on any of the birth control pills I've been on, but I would guess that that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
( And a little back story . . . I promise, nothing too TMI )
You don't need to read the whole back story, but if you could take a minute to at least answer the question I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

| The Blowhard keeps on trucking and Lyssa is turning into a popsicle |
[08 Oct 2008|12:04pm] |
Remember the Psychology Blowhard?
He continues to engage in conversation with me before class starts (WHY GODS WHY?).
Yesterday, he informed me that he has, and I quote, "an ego the size of the solar system." While I agree completely with this statement, what the hell is a person supposed to say in reply to that? "Why yes, you do, I've noticed it every. single. time. you open your mouth."
Then he also informed me that he grew up in Russia (when it was still the Soviet Union . . . he's probably about 40) and was a part of some sort of Communist Youth Group . . . for some reason I feel like this explains so much.
--------
On a completely unrelated note - I'm COLD!
An inventory of what I am wearing as a type this:
- a pair of anklet socks
- a pair of fleece socks on top of anklet socks
- a pair of sponge-bob pyjama pants
- a pair of bright red fleece pants on top of my pyjama pants (referred to by the boy as my 'santa pants')
- a sweatshirt
- a hoodie over top the sweatshirt.
And did I mention that I also have a space heater going?
My basement suite is freaking freezing and it isn't even winter yet. I live in fear of sub-zero temperatures!
Well, to be fair, it doesn't help that the furnace isn't going yet. It's still warm enough outside that it's not cold upstairs yet, so the people living upstairs have no reason to turn on the furnace. I figure, in the interests of saving on the heating bill, I will not ask them to turn on the furnace until we start hitting those sub-zero temperatures. Until then I'll continue to wear an obscene amount of clothing and stick it out.

I HAVE MY PERIIOD IOASDFJASDFKLFDJMOIIFSDA89ED9938938!!!!!111111!!!
I have never been this ANGRY when i had my period before. I don't know what is going on, but i feel horrible for my co-workers. I feel like shit but my focus is if anyone says anything i might disagree with, i want to SCREAM my fucking ass off.
In other news in relation to this.
One of Alex's friends commmented on Jessis facebook page, stating something like this. "Your buddy Alex likes McCain which means she indirectly hates gays."
I can't even begin to pick that apart and over analyize that. I need to go to work, but I think i might while i'm there.
fucking alex.
*snarls* stuipid evil bitch.
