Part of me doesn't want tonight to end.

I'm hoping Obama wins, of course, but...it's been so disappointing the last two elections. At least tonight, there's still the hope that he'll win, you know? And with it the hope for a better tomorrow that might come. Tonight the world is still full of possibility, without the harsh reality of a loss - or, ( Read more... )

So! *rubs hands* Have recovered from Pride and a lovely houseguest this week, trinity1986 (she of the Great Pride Parade Shoe Disaster), and so am finally updating. First up, the promised intro post for new folk, then out for a few hours :D, then coming back to catch up with all of YOU, and then a treehouse-and-transformer post. Then sleeeep. \o ( Read more... )

I spent a lovely New Year's Eve at Mr. ( Read more... )

I've had a scene running through my head from Fullmetal Alchemist, an anime television show currently running on YTV. It's very good, but rather dark in parts and this particular scene is no exception.

The scene is a flashback to an uprising that took place some 15 years before the "present ( Read more... )

Most of the time I am very happy being single: I have a job I enjoy, a home and a cat that I love, and I'm surrounded by wonderful friends and family. What more could a girl ask for?

But there are definitely times - not many, but they do exist - when I go from feeling "solitude" to "loneliness."

Some people worry about the indignity of dying alone, ( Read more... )

So. Last Friday night I got to meet twistedhip's newborn baby girl. He's right - she is the softest thing I have ever felt. It's like the skin on her shoulders isn't even there, it's so soft. I've been trying to think of a good nickname for her in my blog, and came up with "Val" for "Valvoline", since I was thinking if there were just some way to ( Read more... )
