If someone hurts you, you talk it out, you deal with it, you TELL them. You don't turn around and try to hurt them even worse or avoid them for four or so months.
And if you hurt someone, you face up to it, even if it makes you uncomfortable, you still make an effort to make it right. You don't ignore them, blow them off and pretend it never happened.
That's not how the real world works and that's not how mature adults operate.
As stressed out as I am with the move and everything, I've had some issues with two friends. One of them I've been communicating with and I think (hope) that we'll be able to clear the air. I really hope so, because she means a lot to me. The other one, well...*points up* It's too bad, because I respect her and I trusted her as a friend. Obviously I considered us better friends than she did. I made a mistake, I owned up to my mistake, I apologized for my mistake, and yet I'm still being punished for it. I'm not perfect, and god knows I fucked up. But I deserve better than that.

Rating: NC-17 (sex, language, adult themes) Timeline: Not that important but a lot of the plot shit (JR being trashed by stupid plot twists and the unabortion) just didn't happen - no JR and Babe over and over again, Josh is just a product of stolen eggs... anything along those lines, heh.
Teaser: In the end, it’s no one’s fault but her own...

Hi LJ, Hi! Remember me?
Last week was a crazy super busy week and happy fun computer times were not much in abundance. Went out of town this weekend for a wedding, and have ended up fighting the Killer Cold 4.0. My lungs feel disgusting enough now that they should be featured on an episode of Fringe. Thank Heavens for Mucinex!
Catching up might take me a little while. I shall try! I do have things to say about Supernatural (LOVE!) Smallville (Oy), and Heroes (yay!).
Instead, I shall leave you with this interview with Milo being a Star Wars dork. Peter, I am your brother...

I turned in my first story this afternoon, and I confess to being highly disappointed in myself. As per usual, it got written last minute, and last minute panic didn't set in properly, and the whole thing was just...under par.
I wouldn't mind getting ripped apart in a critique for something that I had a little confidence in, but I know that this could have been so much better, if I'd put the proper amount of time into it, and I'm really just angry with myself for selling the idea short.
The Shakespeare proposal did get done, also badly written. I can't seem to write anything worth reading these days. Bad mality for an english major, methinks. But on the bright side, I get to read "Anatomy of Melancholy" which looks like a promising and interesting read. I'm actually sort of excited about it.
I start work tomorrow. There's a long and drawn out rant in me somewhere about the fact that my boss is scatterbrained, never confirms anything by Email, and wouldn't have contacted me to start if I hadn't popped into her office.
This will be interesting.
Tired now. More on life later.

Hai!
I'm still alive! I'm in Boston and have finally found some wifi that isn't being annoying. I walked all day, took random pictures and now completely and utterly exhausted. Ouch, my knees!
And apparently, I have nothing to say. Watching the presidential debate tonight. Or I just might watch Cloverfield instead. I'm random like that.

I came across a new icon challenge community for Sanctuary. (If you haven’t seen the show, check it out.) I’m really excited but it needs more members before the challenges can begin. If you're interested visit sanctuary_itest

Last Friday I went out with downloadable08 and some of her friends to see her cousin's band. They're called Candy Apple Blonde, and I think they are on MySpace, so check 'em out! :] After that we went with Ryan and his friend to a karaoke bar. Also great fun. I swear one of these days, I will get drunk enough and sing something (thus causing everyone's ears to bleed). XD Saturday, downloadable08 was nice to make John and I breakfast. Muy delicioso. John loves you, BTW. ^_^ He keeps telling me you're kick ass. *tear* He likes you better than me! Anyway, then we re-watched some of our favorite SGA episodes. Sunday I went to my parents' house and finally got my mom caught up on The Office(!) and watched The Princess Bride.
Stolen from bottledglory The Sarah Palin meme. (Or, how cruel can you be to your children?) ( Bad Baby Names ) Speaking of baby names, ozma_katiebell wrote a Remus/gen ficlet called Traveling Light. It's based on the two prompts I gave her, baby names and protection. It's a bit sad, but not necessarily in a depressing way. And as far as I am concerned, it's canon.
I think I am going to bring back TV talk, at least for today. I stopped doing it because I am just watching so many damn shows this season, and watching a lot of them late online, I just can't really keep up with it. And I am going to try something new. I am still placing the discussion under a cut, but I am going to make the text white. That way you can just highlight the text of the show you want to read about, and avoid spoilers for ones you don't. Lemme know what you think. :] ( Mass Squeeage ) Damn that was some good TV last night. I must resist the urge to spoiler-y Heroes icons because season 3 has not aired in other countries yet. SO HARD! I also watched the premier of Santcuary when they re-aired it on SciFi. It's the new show with Amanda Tapping (SG-1 and SGA) as a brunette. It wasn't half bad. I'll give it a few more goes if I am around when it's on.

YAY! New House tonight! I am totally in love with the PI. So adorable. I need an icon of him! And I need to find a good Kutner one as well, have grown in love with him too. As much as I loved Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay, I like to pretend it never happened (at least when watching House), and that Kumar just changed his name and this is him after med school. Thank fandomsecrets for that one. XD

I know that audio drama isn't for many of you. I'm hoping you'll take 35 mintues, and listen to mine. And it's premireing on Sonic Society! Tomorrow, it'll be on Imagination Lane!
Written, Directed and post-produced by ... Me. I've had the character in my head for 15 years or so. I'm new to mixing, and it's is a pilot, but I believe it's got some entertainment value :)
(here's the link to the RSS feed for Sonic Society: http://sonic.rnn.beta.libsynpro.com/rss)

The next episode will go up the first week of November on Imagination Lane: TamLynn PI.
Thank you for your support guys, it means a lot!

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say hi, and let you all know I'm still alive down in Ol' Virginia (although I've had the song "The Lees of Old Virginia" from 1776 in my head for a good week now). Haven't been killed by rednecks or the Klan. People here are friendly -- it seems small-town midwest and small-town south have a lot more in common than you'd expect.
I'm in the lovely cuidad of Bedford, Virginia. I'm responsible for Bedford and Campbell counties. It's a big job.
I love this job. It's insane, and the hours are prohibiitively demanding on anyone who isn't completely without significant personal relationships (i.e. everyone on the campaign except the field director is single, and that's only because he had a wife and kids beforehand). But the positive upshot of it is that I get to help get an AMAZING man elected to Congress. Where he'll work to do the kind of positive changes in government that will create positive changes in all our lives... the kind of changes that we need. Call it cliche. I don't care. It's true.
I've been called a "Kool-Aid drinker" recently by a friend that I've made here. It's strange to think that six weeks ago, I had barely heard of our candidate, and now I'm making plans to go in to the non-profit sector if this whole Congressional thing doesn't work out. It's crazy.
Good times. Leave comments, tell me how you all are. I miss you all. :-)
Love, Katie

I finally finished the story for fiction that is due tomorrow. The one that demanded the total rewrite the freaking night before it was due.
I may have just spawned terrible drivel, but at the moment, I don't give a damn. If it's coherent, and if people don't visibly flinch upon reading, then I'll be content. I wash my hands of the whole affair. Besides, I have a proposal for Shakespeare that I have to write tomorrow morning. One crisis at a time, please.
But for now I say, to hell with the lot of it. I'm going to bed.

Pendulum ♦ Another Planet |
] |
in the state of sunday.♥
I hope I didn't worry anyone with my tiny bit of radio silence for a turn. I have been here, I just haven't been commenting or posting or signing into MSN or AIM or sending any e-mails. I just wanted to step back from everything & just observe, like I do in everyday life.
So I did.
& I observed the fact that I continue to ♥ all of you & how all of you are truly wonderful, amazing, little living, breathing, neverending snowflakes.
(I really don't deserve you bunnies most of the time, I really, really don't. But I love you all anyway!)
I didn't do much of anything in the time I was gone, save for . . .
( Neil Gaiman! )
( the Sea Devils! )
Also while I was gone, I acquired a new profile, new userpics, new layout (& friends-only banner) & a new moodtheme. When I am a bit unwell, I get very erratic & decide everything must change, even when I like it. Hence the new things.
I do love my new icons though. Lots of Three & Four pretty! & I stopped being lazy & organised all of them so I don't have to dig about for a particular icon.
& whilst going through my collected Doctor Who icons (about a thousand & thirty something, I think), I realised that I have icons from all eras - even the ones I haven't seen yet! I have a bunch of Two icons, a few Two/Jamie icons (WTF I HAVEN'T EVEN MET JAMIE YET), some Ace icons (she looked so pretty in them! I couldn't resist!), some Four/Ainley!Master ones (I might watch Keeper of Traken, but I'm NOT watching Logopolis. Ever.), about three or four of Five (WTF I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LIKE FIVE, WHY DO I HAVE ICONS OF HIM?!), one of Four with Tegan & Nyssa (neither of whom interest me, but it was FOUR!), a fair amount of One (who is awesome in the bitchiest way possible!) & about four of Susan (I love Susan already & I haven't even met her, even though I am DYING to see An Unearthly Child!), a few icons of Liz Shaw, plus a metric ton of Eight icons. (my excuse? Paul McGann is PRETTY. & Eight, as I said, makes me think of a young Three & of Oscar Wilde. So of COURSE I'm ganking icons of such lovely!)
But oddly enough, I have very few icons from series four. (I'm waiting to see it before I grab the pixel pretty!)
(& um, I will hopefully get back to all the spammy goodness I think I still have lined up. Eventually. Still taking it a bit easy, I think.)
& MEMES! O, please, o please, will you play with me?
Gacked from both backinblackk & soundthedrums (ILU both you know!):
Companion Me!
Which companion (or Doctor Who character that might not be a proper companion) do I remind you of? Why?
OTP Me!
Ship me with someone - any fandom at all. Explanations as to why would be highly appreciated.

| Call me a pessimist but... |
[06 Oct 2008|10:30pm] |
I'm not wild about tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing. Every time I see an article or anything about how Obama's poll numbers are on the rise and how his chances are looking better, i feel the urge to tell that person to go outside, turn around three times and spit (and curse) so as not to jinx it. Seriously. I don't want to set myself up for heartbreak-- and I really think I'll cry if he- God forbid- loses.
And while I'm on the subject of politics, my feelings for Sarah Palin have gone from disdain to downright hatred now. Stupidity is offensive but I'll forgive it to an extent 'cause God knows she can't help being an idiot. But now, she's gone beyond the pale. Obama's 'palling with terrorists' and doesn't 'see the America' that she and her husband see (her husband was a member of a party that advocates the secession of Alaska-- looking at the Palins, I'm about ready to join that party!) I don't know about you but I think branding Obama as having a different world view the way she's doing smacks of insidious (and not so subtle) racism of the most disgusting kind. I do believe she's just crossed the line from offensive to unforgivable, especially when it comes to a political candidate for national office. Yes, America is racist- unbelievably, terribly so- in this day and age-- but the absolute last thing we need is a national candidate who is subtly and not so subtly drawing out that latent racism, even encouraging it. Call me an idealist but I think our leaders should be people who bring out the best in us, who appeal to the better angels of our nature-- instead of appealing, instead, to the lowest common denominator of our nature. Because our lowest common denominator is very, very low indeed. I don't know if Obama is necessarily that leader-- I don't believe he is Jed Bartlet-- but I will commend him for the campaign he's run and the way he's tried to keep this race clean. And if he doesn't win, it will be a downright tragic loss for this country, policies aside, because of what it will mean about the lingering racism in this country. When studies are showing that Obama's poll numbers would likely be as much as 6 points higher if he were white, that's a lot and is large enough to be the difference-- and it's disgusting. Ok, I'm done now.
Because I was reminded of this wonderful line, I'm posting it because it's a timely reminder, I think. America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've got to want it bad, because it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the 'land of the free'? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms.
Then you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.' -President Andrew Shepherd, 'The American President', by the brilliant Aaron Sorkin (who else?)

It occurs to me that I never posted the pictures of my little apartment, so here they are- my little corner of the world here in Ithaca and where I seem to spend all my time when I'm not in the law school library.
( Step into my parlor, said the spider to the fly... )
Dear Senator McCain- angry old man is not an appealing role. Shut up and kindly stop stooping to the level of the RNC at its worst. I've already lost all respect for you; must you make me hate you too?
One more week and then it's fall break! (Thank God...)
