My grandma's been supposed to be having a kidney biopsy done this week, but it keeps getting put off (her blood pressure keeps spiking on them. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be, O, I don't know, nervousness from being stuck in the damned hospital?), so I've been mostly off of the computer the past few days, since there's just the one phone line and it runs the computer internet too. I think they may actually be doing it today, so . . . *Crosses fingers*
Since my mom kept telling me I would like them, I decided to distract myself by starting to read the first one, and just kept going from there. As of right now, I've read the first five Dresden Files books in about two days flat. Heh. I think I may like this boy. Werewolfketeers, unite! *Snerk* What a pity the show they made off of these books evidently didn't last! Ah, well. I'm going to watch what was made anyway. Harry's kind of growing on me.

dammit, I'm feeling crap again...
got another reject job letter...and again, it's "sorry, the post was already taken, although you were perfect for the job and had all the skills"...I'm starting to feel like I'll never manage to get a job that I want, one that I've chosen...and I really don't want to stick being GT4 press officer, because the pay sucks and there is no way I could live off of it, though it would take up all my time...
I'm feeling just like the women in my history articles I've got to read...I need a working husband to support me so that I can work for holidays and little extras...but not really so I can eat or live on my own..dammit...
( sister ranting beneath )
*big sigh* sorry about this...I'm just really feeling meh...
oh I really really really neeeeed to leave next year, go to York, Bristol, Bangor, London, anywhere!!! anywhere that I can get a semblance of control, peace and calm and tidyness in certain areas! (draws, they shut as well as open!!ack!)
I think I might be becoming obsessive compulsive or somet...
oh, and sunday I'm off to Frankfurt for a concert...woo...except I'm really not in the good mood I was when I bought the ticket, so right now, not really a woo moment...
*sigh*

The first 15 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for.
Any fandoms or pairings is fine... but I prefer slash most of the time of course (or anything with Chloe & Effy). Oh and, my english suck so if you don't mind it in french XD (of course I can try with english XD but I can't promise anything!)
:)

I have Twitter now! So you know, add me on that if you have it. :D Anyone else having issues convincing LoudTwitter to post to LJ? Apparently it just took time to propogate and whatever. YAY.
About fifteen hours until I leave the house, a little over 24 until Clex and I land in Baltimore. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Also! My mom watches the Law & Order reruns on TNT during the day, and I counted three Leverage commercials in the last hour. YAY FOR LEVERAGE. \o/

So when I said that I sort of hope Chris is actually dating Mikala Gordan and it's not just an editing contrivance, I never expected it to have any truth!:
I'm still not convinced that they're dating, and I am probably the only one who thinks that they're adorable and just annoying enough in their own rights to be perfect for each other, but still. YAY RUMORS. I like rumors. Ironic, because when I watched her season of Idol with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lecksee and stellaface, we HATED Mikala. And now I kind of love her. I don't know what that says about me. Clearly, my taste has gone downhill.
(Also, the stuff about JC at the bottom of the ONTD post is hilarious. Chasez, even ONTD misses you!!)

The special in the cafeteria today is ... Swedish Meatballs. They look not tasty at all, but I was very tempted to pick up a pair just to take a picture and then describe the taste to my captive audience. I didn't. But I thought about it.
Also, it was hot and muggy and gross when I walked into the cafeteria. I swear the temperature dropped 15 degree AT LEAST by the time I came out. It's been rainy and windy all day. COULD THIS BE AUTUMN? IN TEXAS? OMG I THINK IT MIGHT BE.

Life is OK. No whining today.
I spent 7 hours at work yesterday playing with this thing:
and if I could tell you just how it works, I would, but I can't. I can, however, tell you that this magical machine separates via magnetic antibodies (or something) CD4+ CD25+ T-regulatory cells. This damned machine has been eating up space in one of our hoods for the four years I've been working in the lab, and I finally got to use it (and actually see it be used, as opposed to collect dust. apparently we're at a point in our research where its needed, and i'm amazed at the foresight needed to determine "we need a magnetic cell separator that we won't use for 5 years [i came in at year 1.5 of our section of the lab] but will need later!!"). Its my new favorite thing to do. In fact, its the only thing I've done in the past three weeks.
I love working in the hood. Theres a lot of white noise in our hood room, and I'm often alone in there or working quietly next to someone, so its really meditative. The first time I was in the hood was on my first damned day of work - two days after C and I broke up momentarily, four years ago, so I was all mopey and agitated - and someone who had assumed I was a college undergrad intern slapped a huge dish of mouse bones for me to flush marrow from. When I finally got into her head "I know nothing! I'm a senior in high school! This is a Co-Op job! TRAIN ME!", she showed me what to do and how to do it, and it looked so easy.
Ever tried sticking a butterfly needle into a mouse femur and wiggle it up and down while pushing the plunger so that saline can go through the hollow part of the bone so that the marrow flushes out? You haven't? Well. You're missing out. And its harder than it looks.
So, that first day, I sat there crying and trying to figure out the procedure I was doing till I finally figured it out. I'd never been so Zen in all my life, and to this day, I get that Zen feeling when I'm working in the hood (particularly when I'm stuck flushing bone marrow, which is still hard, four years later).
Note to self - yesterday, wildtype mice had very few Treg cells and the CCR2 -/- had lots. Why? Ask on Friday!

Torrents of my own failiure are currently being ignored and I am centring my considerable levels of hate instead upon those who made my mother walk and hour and a half back home in the wet and cold. Fucking anti arms factory people were out demonstrating again...
Forgive my unecessary and not too serious vitriol but they need to fucking die.
I mean as I said before surely they don't think their protest will succeed and as far as it being a statement of feeling this is destroyed by the fact that they all cover their faces. They just want to fucking fight with the police under the guise of a protest. Cos I mean it's fairly fucking irritating (ironic?) to me that these people who supposedly want peace end every fucking demonstration to that end by rioting...
It's as though none of them have a fucking brane and it just makes me so mad at them. I'm so irritated that it's allowed.
God please keep these fucking braneless morons off my streets stopping traffic and inconveniencing every fucking one. I mean I doubt any of the fucking cunts even live anywhere near this arms factory...I just waaaaah and grrrrrr don't get it at all...
Anyway I've ranted about this previously...
I am typing this whilst watching a documentary on the Roman Polanski rape case, like literally, it's brilliant how I don't even need to look at the keyboard at all anymore. I love that doing two things at once lark. Anyway this docu is irritating me, constantly trying to act as though Polanski was persecuted in some way for his fame in the proceeding of the case and it's like oh fuck off! The man took advantage of a teenage girl and admitted as much and so my sympathy evaporates there...totally...
I mean yeah I don't doubt the punishment of him would have (if he hadn't been such a fucking coward and run away from it) been harsher compared to other non famous people who committed similar crimes .....
but ah well anyway any unfairness in his treatment pales by comparison to the unfairness of him a grown man sexually taking advantage of a 13 yr old girl....
That is the end of all things.
NO SYMPATHY
I am infuriated that these people are bringing up the issue that the girl was sexually experienced and that the other men she had been with were not prosecuted. As if the previous ignorance and poor functioning of the law suddenly negates the harm caused by the offence and invalidates the letter of the law.
Another thing is the horrific smell of the patriachy everywhere over it where they get a couple of women no less coming on here asking what the mother was doing letting her daughter to go to his home with his reputation.
As if somehow the mother's guilt is the same or equal to Polanski's. I mean yes she was undoubtedly neglectful but that is irrelevant because Polanski is the person who took advantage of her. Polanski is the one who broke the fucking law and this documentary is about Polanski.
It's as though there needs to be a woman to blame in any circumstance.
I mean that's without the character asassination done on this poor girl...
I mean even if she had sex with 90 other men and apparently wanted to she is 13 and she cannot give her consent and therefore every time she is being abused...
Are people so fucking sick in the head and determined to hate women that they cannot see that she is the victim?
It fucking seems so and
It's vile...
