Not Subject to Morality

I am all kinds of hopeful

2008-11-05T00:02:52Z

So I've voted and now I am sitting around with my fingers crossed that Obama wins because while I love Canada, I don't want to move there. Yay to everyone who voted and lets hope that this is the first day of a coming change.

*fingers crossed* Let's make some history!

Snagged from cyndrarae

1) Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts...

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all.
Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.
And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our population isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.
American nationals - vote NO on Prop 8.

Roadtrip Help.

2008-10-22T18:52:40Z

So my darling Odile and I recently went on a little roadtrip to College Station, Texas to visit a friend at Texas A&M University and it was fun.. like very freaking fun. So we want to do it again but we can't seem to pick a place.

So I've decided to ask my wise LJ F!List: If you could roadtrip somewhere, where would it be?

(Um, we live in Dallas, and I think my car would become mutinous if I took her to Canada, so any southern locations?)

Thanks for your thoughts, I'll let you know what we pick!

I hate that I miss her

2008-10-19T19:11:14Z

So I used to have this friend and for six years I really thought this girl was my best friend. She is gone now, not in the dead sense but she totally abandoned me in the ways that it counts. This wasn't sudden, we'd been drifting apart for the last six months but today I felt the finality of losing her.

She found this boy, her first boyfriend and there is no way in hell he is good enough for her. For fucks sake he is so fucking close-minded and simple, he is nothing like dream-guys I thought we both wanted. So she got this boy and she left behind fandom, Odile, me and her freaking potential.

I talked to her after my European adventure and when I asked if anything new had happened in fandom, she said something like she didn't need make believe now that she finally had a BF. I had to laugh at her because I use fanfic and the 'power of the fangirl squee' as pure entertainment and a mental playground, I guess she used it as an substitute for the relationships she didn't have. I told my at-that-time-boyfriend and he laughed, he told me he thought that once you had slash-goggles and a fangirl membership card you were in for life, I replied that I had thought so too.

This girl has massive brain power and she could do anything she wanted, she could see the world and probably change it if she wanted. Instead she is choosing to get her degree and go teach in the school we graduated from because it must seem like a safe choice. And this whiskey tango motherfucker of a boyfriend isn't pushing her to fulfill her potential. It's just sad.

She didn't call/text/write to say Happy B-day and that's never happened before and when peeps forget I usually don't care because I forget too. But she was supposed to be my best friend, hell we lived in each others pockets for years and I miss who she used to be.

I can't call her because I can't stand the person she is becoming (or maybe because of the person she isn't becoming) but I can't help missing who she used to be.I know that starting college changes people but I always thought we could survive that.

I guess I was wrong.

Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading

2008-10-19T18:29:34Z

From Judy Blume to V.C. Andrews, there's always a book circulating among teens that their parents don't want them to read. What favorite book did you have to hide from your parents?

View 503 Answers

I never had to hide anything from my parents but there are a few books, namely the Kushiel's Dart Series by Jacqueline Carey, that I didn't advertise. Ofcourse I think my father might have figured out at some point that I wasn't reading Nancy Drew when I would take to carrying The Fountainhead everywhere with me for three months at the age of 13. Not to mention the ways in which Gaiman/Pratchett and Anne Rice warped my brain.

Neither of them know anything about my slash-tastic tendencies although at this point I don't think they would be too surprised.

2008-09-21T09:24:32Z

Maybe I'm slow on the uptake or maybe I just haven't seen this yet... but seriously. There is a buddy tv article that ends with this little summation:

"Some things I learned from my visit to Supernatural:

* All the talk about Jared and Jensen playing pranks is true, but the costume set supervisor, Bren Moore, might be the biggest prankster of them all.

* Jared and Jensen live together and carpool to work every day. They like to rib each other about who is lazier than whom in the morning, and it's very cute.

* The boys each have particular flavors of gum that they like to have readily available on set.
* Jared and Jensen look just as good in person as they do on television."

I think I am going to be happy for like a year now. Thanks. That is all.

Mary Winchester?

2008-09-21T08:46:52Z

So I've gotten my roomie addicted to SPN and she wanted to watch the episodes from the beginning before she started watching season four. Tonight we just watched House of the Holy and I had a sudden 'duh' moment.

Dean is telling Sam that he doesn't believe in what he can't see and Sam answers with a comment about praying everyday. Then Dean says that their mom was the same way and that every night before bed she would say, "Angel's are watching over you..."

So, in light of the big reveal that angels do exist maybe she was being literal. In the big sense, I really don't know what that would mean but it isn't something I've seen discussed online.

Comments? Ideas?

I'm BACK!

2008-09-20T19:04:34Z

Hello m'darlings!

So you know when you haven't posted for a while and you feel the need to recap what's been going on but that seems like one of those promising tl;dr posts. Well that is what has kept me away in the time I've been back in the US of A. So no recapping of the last few months except to say: College life is amazing and I love my new apartment... and Euro-trip was perfect in all regards!

Anyways, Lazarus Rising!
I liked it a lot but I really want to send the boys the following letter:
Dear Winchester Brothers,
On behalf of the fangirl population I would like to ask you to stop being little secretive bitches and please talk to each other. At this rate you are going to be on opposing sides within the next month or so and I really don't envision mortal adversaries engaging in hugging or snarky side-by-side impala riding. So, for the sake of all that is fandom, please talk to each other and behave!
All righty??
Thanks and Love,
-Smirk

Also, Castiel is a hottie from heaven. I admit that I am a rabid wincestous fiend but when hot!angel pulled out his wings I couldn't help wanting Dean to jump his bones in a moment of frustrated confusion because his brother is shacking up with some random chick and not being broody enough! Seriously, I cant wait for Castiel/Dean slash and Jealous!Sam.

I missed you guys and I promise to stalk less and post more.

I know I've been a bad little lurky fangirl but life has been so hectic that I don't know what to write about first.

Well I am off to Europe (Uk, France, Germany, Denmark, Holland and Belgium) for the next two months. I will miss you all so much and I don't know how I'm gonna survive without the boys and the impala.

Much love and I promise to write more when I can,

As dear runedgirl put earlier this evening, that, "Could have been a plot right out of fanfic". A very nice and slashy fanfic. Because seriously, I could have retired my tinfoil hat and still felt the slash of that episode.

Tonight was great fun, Odile and I watched some Simon/Ryan interaction, created beautiful plot bunnies, ate some Panda express (I like to think it was a salute to Jensen and his Youtube Panda), and then Odile proceeded to wow my socks off with some Broadway classics. The girl needs to audition for American Idol... for serious.

Em and Twin B (her now boyfriend) came over to watch SPN. And good god I think we scarred the boy. But seriously, MONTHS without the boys validated all the squees that came forth from the couch. And then the piercing gay love, and Dean yelling 'Sam... Sammy..' in his sexy hunter worried voice. Odile and I decided that no one boys on the first time through, because we want to be lewd and scream, "Dean, just fuck you brother in the back of the impala already," and we don't want to censor ourselves, so there.

In Em's defense she totally asked if this was a girls night and I said something like, 'no whatever... am eating pandas *crunchy eggroll* see you at 7:30' but after all the weird looks I think it might have been a girls night after all.

Also, I want to find out whose going to the Dallas Con, because I live in Dallas and I want to meet all the amazing people that are just as weird as I am and then take them out for the best tex-mex in the world while discussing Jensen and his pants... and maybe Jared and his abnormally large hands. Yay.

Good Night and Good Slashing,
-Smirk

PS. Kripke, Happy Birthday you dirty dirty man. I would send you a cake but I think the postal service would frown upon that. I love you. No, really, I love you like I love Joss and thats saying something because I used to worship the man. You rock!

PPS. Kripke, if you read this please make Sam and Dean switch bodies for an episode because people would write lots of good porn and I would be happy.

Rymon... Kiss... Quoi?!

2008-04-24T02:33:16Z

I think I found a new fandom in which to squee. I think I might have to write some fic. I think that was pretty darn cute.

My current bunny is Simon/Ryan/DavidCook. yay. I think I will totally be writing highly inappropriate things in Economics tomorrow morning. And this is all Em's fault because she was the one that wrote that fic about Simon as a demon hunter in showbiz. Meh.

I am usually a very expressive person and I can figure out what it bothering me and deal with it. I just can't be subjective in this. I am mad and hurt and so frustrated that I don't know what to say.

I mean I know the gist of what is getting to me but she is only person I can't seem to talk to about this. J and the others get it... but they are more removed from this than I am.

So there was like this metaphorical iceberg and the college thing just tipped it over and the titanic might be sinking.

I should be working on Art History... instead I am trying to figure out how I could die of an infected toenail due to Gluttony. Did I eat said toenail? Did it get infected because I ate a lot and didn't exercise my toenail? Can one truly exercise their toenail? Was I crazed with Gluttony because it came back from Hell and possessed me? Did Bobby save me? Better, did Dean save me? After saving me, could I get Dean to kiss me? Could I get Dean to kiss Sam?

God, so many questions....

Also, how does Darth know me and why doesn't anyone else miss me?

I just took the best nap of my life. It was like 4 hours. wow.

In other news the 10th day party seems to be full steam ahead with an extra serving of awkward on the side. So far the guest list includes: Em, Odile, Me, J, Twin A, Twin B, Ash, and Ni. It should be fun.. I think. Although I am missing the time when life wasn't complicated and there was no drama. I think if I ignore it, then it will go away.

I've been wanting to write and when I woke up I started to think about what was stopping me if I really wanted to write... I think I just need to start and see where it takes me.

I think odetteisodile, burningamaranth and I need to get together in a coffee shop setting and just talk because we seem to be having issues. I think a lot of it is crossed wires as Odile said, but I think a lot of it is that there are things brewing between us. There are reasons why they aren't happy with me, reasons they aren't happy with each other and reasons I am not happy with them. Girls, my darling friends, we need to talk.

So true

2008-04-15T19:53:22Z

I think that I like Dean so much because I relate to him and the way he reacts to life in general. My life hasn't been anywhere near as crappy as his, but I never had the apple pie childhood. I think I like it that way, being different has grown on me and I love it.

I am seriously screwed... a lot. So, I have led a super comfortable life so far because I haven't had to worry about money. I am starting to worry. My dad is being a little bitch because I am never around anymore and he is no longer paying for my gas, as of ten minutes ago. My bank account is at: $0.76 and I have $4.00 in cash in my wallet.

I think I need to find a job asap. I just have no clue how I am going to get there tomorrow on no gas... much less how I am going to get to school... or how I am going to afford to pay for graduation invites or taking my car to get serviced.

shit, I have to grow up and suck it up and get a damn job. RL is a pain in the ass but I will beat that bitch.

I think boys might be really stupid. Do they think that girls don't have each others backs... I mean srsly? Idiot boy!

Ehm. IN other news, Odile and I are writing a fic. Ok, we are trying to write a fic. And it will be beautiful and slashy if it ever comes out of the planning stage. I planned on writing tonight but there is drama unfolding so I am just trying to keep up with how much damage control I will have to face in the morning. I mean I might be over reacting to some stupid texts but I am usually right about stuff like stupid dipshit idiotic boys... so right, damage control.

UIL was bright and fucking early on Saturday morning. Odile and I had been out and about all evening doing frowned upon things, so I ended up with 4.5 hours of sleep. Oh joy. So we get to the school and there is NO ONE. Not a soul in sight. We shouted at each other, worried, woke up Twin A by accidently calling him at 5:45 in morning, and then said 'fuck it' and reclined our seats to nap until someone showed up or we recieved instruction of some kind. Finally this bitch showed up and she just pissed me off. It wasn't enough that it was oh-dark-o-clock but this woman had the nerve to be a bitch to Odile and me. Urgh. Ha, and then I wrote an amazing essay for ready writing and forgot a title, landing in 4th place in my region.

It got better though, because in the bus on the ride home I couldn't help it and started slashing... I think I might have broken Odile's brain with the pairing because it was highly twisted.

odetteisodile you owe me some comment-fic. Write. Now.

Behold: Senior Prom Weekend, and I am not going within twenty miles of the lame ass festivities.

I was afraid I might regret not going but the way this weekend is shaping up, I am totally pleased that I decided not to do Prom. Instead? Russian party for the ages. Seriously, last night was fucking crazy.

It started off with an idea to go to a local hooka bar and catch up with an ex-AcDecer who graduated last year. But as soon as I started asking around to see if anyone wanted to join, it all turned into a loopy adventure.

10 hours later I am still a little confused as to how perfect last night was. Ok so, my definition of perfect is a bit fucked to hell, but it was fun.

We fit three HUGE guys into my backseat, and poor Odile had to sprawl on them due to lack of big car and only one designated driver (me). I found out some scandalous things about one of said huge guys and I will never look at him the same way again.

Once my driving duty was over, we made friends with jim, jack, jose, and absolut.

Morale of the story: Party ... a lot.
