To the biggest thorn in my side  

Just for posterity:

Dear You,

                I wonder if you remember all of those times when you said that we were best friends and that you would always be there for me. I wonder if you remember saying that—and meaning it. I used to think that you had meant it, but now I know that it was a misguided lie. It really does sound like something you would do, you know, like telling somebody that you loved them, and then turning it all around one day with no explanation and destroying everything good you had with that person. Severing all ties with them or throwing them away like they were a piece of garbage.

                Six years of my life were wasted on you. Years that I used to look back on and smile about, days that I remembered with laughter. You destroyed that, and for no reason that I can think of. You’ve done it again, so congratulations on screwing up, again.  You’re so stupid for thinking that you can do this over and over and not mess up again! You just destroy everything, don’t you? Well good luck with that then, ending up alone and lonely and sad and telling yourself that it was the other persons’ fault, and not realizing that it was your own.

                You’ve pushed me off of the edge, you brainless conniving bitch. I hope you know how much grief you’ve given everyone in your life.  You’re spoiled rotten to the core, and the sad thing is that you’re actually proud of it. You whine until you get your way, and you drain people of all energy, and in that way, you’re uncaring and rude. There are so many other ways that you are uncaring and rude, but by being a spoiled brat, you’ve achieved a higher level of uncaring rudeness.

                There are some comments that you have said that I can’t remember ever getting anything good out of. In fact, the more I realize how much shit you’ve told me, the more I realize you were trying to stroke your own ego, which is already disgustingly big-headed. You would put me down, compliments were a rare and sometimes two-faced thing to come from you. I always assumed you wanted to mold me into a better person, but apparently you just wanted to feel better for yourself.

                Remember when we were both so “insecure”? Well, you still are that insecure. You lied to yourself, and by doing that, you lied to me. You’re probably the most insecure person I’ve ever met. Everyone can see this. You call yourself so brave and strong, when really you’re a big liar. I should never have believed anything you’d ever said. So many lies you’ve uttered that I believed, that my subconscious had told me were lies. I guess I should have listened to myself those times. The time that your brother’s friends half-raped you (what in the hell is half-raping anyway?), when that kid Josh or whatever choked you with that pink leather chain on your bedframe that you didn’t even want hanging up in your room (and yet there it was four years later, still hanging there!) and that I later saw you playing with lovingly, when your dad crawled into bed with you and attempted to touch you, you yelling at your dad. Yeah right. You wouldn’t even have the balls to do that type of shit.

                By the way—just because you started wearing or saying or becoming (another lie, you’re not bisexual, you fucking liar) something, and you’d never before noticed other people wearing or saying or becoming or doing the same thing, does not mean that they were following you!! And don’t act like you’re easily over things—such as Presley—you were never into punk before that. You started calling her a poseur and then all of a sudden you’re a Clash and Misfits and Casualties fan. Now who’s the poseur? Let me give you a hint—you are.

                The less I see you, the better I feel. The days that you were not even a thought, were some of the best days. The ones where I was happy and felt good about myself, because, let’s be honest, all you did to me was make me feel bad about myself when I know for certain—that I will always be a better person than you.

                So, you’ve called me selfish. HA! HAHAHAHA! HYPOCRITE! I hate hypocrites. You’re a hypocrite, therefore I hate you. I can’t believe someone as selfish as you can call me selfish. You’re really, seriously that stupid? You’re ten thousand times more self-centered than me! All you can talk about is yourself; I could barely get a word in when I was talking with you. I was talking to a brick wall! That’s about the quality of a conversation with you (which is really not even a conversation), is a brick wall.

                Hacking into my MySpace and changing things is the best you can obviously do. That just proves your petty, immature self. Guess what, idiot? I can type too. In fact, I can take everything that you’ve changed and get it back to what it was originally. What a shock! Deleting things that you like as well? That… is… so… PATHETIC! What are you, a ten year old girl?! You can’t stand to see me like things that have molded my personality. You can’t stand to see me liking things that you yourself like! That’s fucking ridiculous. I don’t care who introduced me to what- I still will like what I fucking like, you immature, petty, idiotic, stupid, juvenile, unintelligent, self-absorbed, egotistical halfwit! You can’t change me, and you never will! I AM WHO I AM, AND I CAN BE PROUD OF IT, UNLIKE YOU!

                So I’m done with you. Done with your bullshit and your lying and your deceitfulness and your cold, empty heart and soul. I hope you get a strong fucking kick in the ass from Karma herself. Special fucking delivery, you petty, immature, stupid ,conniving, evil, lying, condescending, unappreciative, hypocritical, biased, rude, uncaring, spoiled, whining, droning,  annoying, poseur bitch.

 

 

Forever your ex-friend (who regrets every moment she spent with you),

Me.

Alive and Award Joy  

I‘M ALIIIIVE!

Not like missing a computer for several weeks nearly killed me or anything. -cough-

But I’m back! And while I was gone I landed an award for my 'A Simple Choice' fic at round five of the Serenity on the Hellmouth Awards.
  

 
Shiny! :D
 
And awesomely enough that same fic was also nominated at the Indigo Crypt Awards and the Rogue Poet Awards, and though it didn’t win at those two I was happy to be among such fantastic authors. Congrats to the winners at all three sites, especially [info]snowpuppies (who won several awards from all over the place - well deserved, luv. -smooch-) and [info]deird1 (who took two awards for two very funny, very well written pieces. -squish hug-).
 
And of course, thank you a big heaping bunch to the nommers! Mentally, I send you hugs, cookies and little fluffy puppies. You’re awesome.

A request? + Thoughts on Heroes season 3  
Icon makers on my flist!

Can you guys do me a huuuge favor? go through this folder, pick out some good quality pictures (some of them were taken with our cell phone, so they're...pretty shitty) and make me some good icons? I don't want anything fancy, really, just maybe something with some sweet text and her birthdate on them (9-28-08, fyi). I'd do it myself, but I don't have Photoshop and frankly, I'm shit with graphics.

And if you're not an icon maker, go over there if you like and just look at the sweet pictures. She is so precious. Even when she's screaming her lungs out(and oh my lord can she scream) she's so sweet. She's such an easy baby, too. I mean, she's only two weeks old (today!), but she rarely gets fussy unless she's trying to communicate a need or some discomfort to us. Tonight she was fussy for a long while, but we gave her a bath and she passed right out. We are so lucky.

There was something else I was going to talk about...oh. right. Longer thoughts on Heroes. I'm all scatterbrained at the moment because of the medications I'm taking for the pain, for all the good that they do. But anyway. Yeah. Heroes. Ugh.

Spoilers under the cut for the first 4 episodes of Heroes )

Once again, if you got through all of that, those that clicked beyond the cut... and even if you didn't, just in general...

The Economist on the 2008 Presidential Election.  
Economist's Bias: Sort of libertarian - pro-free markets (where Republicans are typically) and not really interested in the 'culture wars' (so likely to side with Dems on social issues).

Here's its coverage of the candidates on the economy, regulation, health care, foreign policy, etc...: http://media.economist.com/media/pdf/us_election_2008.pdf

And, as a side bar, they sent out a survey to economists and asked their own thoughts on the two candidates' economic plans: http://www.economist.com/world/unitedstates/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12342127

Obama vs. McCain: health plans  
If you're young and healthy, McCain would be your man. However, as you age and become less healthy, you might wish you'd gone with Obama. Why?

The McCain health plan - and don't believe what Obama says about the cost, since the 5K tax credit would more than cover the rise in taxes from losing the employer payment of taxes - would allow people to shop around, and would probably incentivize the youngest and healthiest to get the most bare bones coverage. However, this would upend the way the health care system works now, which is to share the risk among the sick and the healthy. Thus, the healthy would pay far less and the sick would see premiums rise like mad. What's more, due to McCain's plan to allow people to shop around to any health care in the country, it'd likely lead health care providers to move to states with the least protections and laws on health care providers.

FactCheck: Obama and Ayers, and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge  
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/he_lied_about_bill_ayers.html

Facts even I was unaware of:

Ayers turned himself in in the early 1980s. Ayers was not involved in Obama becoming chairman of the CAC board and wasn't even a part of the same "arm" of the group as Obama - he couldn't be, due to the fact that the group financed some of his reform efforts.

EDIT: And the targets of the bombings were warned beforehand so the buildings could be evacuated, thus avoiding any loss of life.

Two who crossed their respective aisles, and why they did so.  
One, Sen. Lieberman. (I realize this is over a month old, but I was trying to think of a significant endorsement of McCain from the left side of the aisle and this was the best I could come up with.) His speech to the GOP convention:

"...I’m here to support John McCain because country matters more than party.

I'm here tonight because John McCain is the best choice to bring our country together and lead our country forward.

I’m here because John McCain’s whole life testifies to a great truth: being a Democrat or a Republican is important.

But it is not more important than being an American.

Both presidential candidates this year talk about changing the culture of Washington, about breaking through the partisan gridlock and special interests that are poisoning our politics.

But only one of them has actually done it.

Only one leader has shown the courage and the capability to rise above the smallness of our politics to get big things done for our country and our people.

And that leader is John McCain!...

Read more... )
You may be thinking of voting for John McCain but you’re not sure. Some of you have never voted for a Republican before and in an ordinary election, you probably wouldn’t.

But this is no ordinary election, because these are not ordinary times, and John McCain is no ordinary candidate. You may not agree with John McCain on every issue.

But you can always count on him to be straight with you about where he stands, and to stand for what he thinks is right regardless of politics.

As President, you can count on John McCain to be a restless reformer, who will clean up Washington and get our government working again for you!

So tonight, I ask you whether you are an Independent, a Reagan Democrat or a Clinton Democrat, or just a Democrat: This year, when you vote for President, vote for the person you believe is best for the country, not for the party you happen to belong to.

Vote for the leader who, since the age of 17, when he raised his hand and took an oath to defend and protect our Constitution, has always put our country first.

So, let's come together to make a great American patriot our next great President!"


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


William F. Buckley, Jr's son, Christopher Buckley on why he, a self-described libertarian, supports Obama and is so disappointed in the McCain of this campaign:

"...McCain rose to power on his personality and biography. He was authentic. He spoke truth to power. He told the media they were “jerks” (a sure sign of authenticity, to say nothing of good taste; we are jerks). He was real. He was unconventional. He embraced former anti-war leaders. He brought resolution to the awful missing-POW business. He brought about normalization with Vietnam—his former torturers! Yes, he erred in accepting plane rides and vacations from Charles Keating, but then, having been cleared on technicalities, groveled in apology before the nation. He told me across a lunch table, “The Keating business was much worse than my five and a half years in Hanoi, because I at least walked away from that with my honor.” Your heart went out to the guy. I thought at the time, God, this guy should be president someday.

A year ago, when everyone, including the man I’m about to endorse, was caterwauling to get out of Iraq on the next available flight, John McCain, practically alone, said no, no—bad move. Surge. It seemed a suicidal position to take, an act of political bravery of the kind you don’t see a whole lot of anymore.

But that was—sigh—then. John McCain has changed. He said, famously, apropos the Republican debacle post-1994, “We came to Washington to change it, and Washington changed us.” This campaign has changed John McCain. It has made him inauthentic. A once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget “by the end of my first term.” Who, really, believes that? Then there was the self-dramatizing and feckless suspension of his campaign over the financial crisis. His ninth-inning attack ads are mean-spirited and pointless. And finally, not to belabor it, there was the Palin nomination. What on earth can he have been thinking?...
Read more... )

Obama has in him—I think, despite his sometimes airy-fairy “We are the people we have been waiting for” silly rhetoric—the potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader. He is, it seems clear enough, what the historical moment seems to be calling for.

So, I wish him all the best. We are all in this together. Necessity is the mother of bipartisanship. And so, for the first time in my life, I’ll be pulling the Democratic lever in November. As the saying goes, God save the United States of America."

From The New York Times' token conservative: GOP's anti-intellectualism  
"...In 1976, in a close election, Gerald Ford won the entire West Coast along with northeastern states like New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont and Maine. In 1984, Reagan won every state but Minnesota.

But over the past few decades, the Republican Party has driven away people who live in cities, in highly educated regions and on the coasts. This expulsion has had many causes. But the big one is this: Republican political tacticians decided to mobilize their coalition with a form of social class warfare. Democrats kept nominating coastal pointy-heads like Michael Dukakis so Republicans attacked coastal pointy-heads.

Over the past 15 years, the same argument has been heard from a thousand politicians and a hundred television and talk-radio jocks. The nation is divided between the wholesome Joe Sixpacks in the heartland and the oversophisticated, overeducated, oversecularized denizens of the coasts.

What had been a disdain for liberal intellectuals slipped into a disdain for the educated class as a whole...."
(link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/opinion/10brooks.html?_r=1&oref=slogin )

More than a lot of its particular policies, this is what bugs me about Republicans, though then again, they're just playing to Southern and Middle America's anti-intellectualism, so maybe it's the citizens who are to blame. Why don't people want a president who's brilliant? Why should drink-a-beer-with-ability be an important characteristic for choosing the Leader of the Free World? If we want an "man of the people" or an "average Joe" in the White House, what's the point of the campaign? Why shouldn't we just let the first one to the gate run it? I think the reason Bill Clinton was as popular a president as he was was because he got the best of both worlds - a "Bubba" who was a Rhodes Scholar. But it's the Rhodes Scholar in him that made him deliberative (at least when it came to policy - not when it came to his personal life) and a policy wonk. Anyway.

EDIT: Because when people accuse Obama of being elitist, they don't really mean in the traditional sense - what they mean is that he's highly educated and erudite, and I think that threatens some people.

Hi LJ.

I am sitting up in my big girl chair again.

about 6 hours until I need to leave for karate.

I may feel well enough to observe by then (I have to take Joey anyway) but probably not participate.

I am still hoping I feel well enough for karaoke. But even if I do my throat may be too shot to sing. Or cheer for my singing friends :-(

Work Financial Fun  
Today is the worst in terms of people calling that we've had since last March when things tumbled down.

While I understand it, I really am getting annoyed by all the clients who call and ask "So how are things going for you?" in a faux concerned half hoping and half terrified you'll tell them the truth.

Really, we both know you're just calling to cause more trouble, make more work for us and be annoying. Skip the patronizing chit-chat.
