Someone posted a really great article today on Facebook from So You Think You're Smart?, which you can grab here, and it reminded me of an unfinished rant that I'd actually just picked up for finishing the other night. Completed it now, and posting, because that kind of echoing in the cosmos means I need to post this for someone.

( The Rant )

Alright. Today's post was brought to you by TV Tropes (it's dangerous to venture there, particularly as a writer and archetypist) and the Split Personality page. Listed at the bottom of the trope article, it mentions the following: "There are also some individuals who claim to have "healthy," or non-traumatic/trauma-induced, multiplicity, though ( Read more... )

 :D So, despite that my biannual allergy-flu (or whatever the hell it is -- I get one in the spring and one in the fall) has kicked in and I have nearly no voice, my throat hurts, I'm coughing, am congested, and in general feeling miserable (the damn thing will be gone in two weeks -- it pisses me off) I am in a spectacularly good mood.

First off, ( Read more... )

The internet is very empowering, indeed. Today, I looked up a local production of Les Miserables, browsed eBay for Bento boxes, went over my college courses again, contacted a few old friends on Facebook, added a bit to my 'Fantasy' story on kmlsarchives , Bronwyn and I have started a community for our small livejournal RPG (snapesalive_xx , if anyone's interested in ( Read more... )

 So, it's August second, the second day of International Clown Week!

...Yeah, I said Clown Week, what of it?

I swear, the amount of people who don't like clowns is startling. Especially considering how much of a contribution clowns have in our culture. I mean, Bozo? Krusty the Clown? Ronald McDonald? Nightmare Before Christmas? Everyone forgets these ( Read more... )

 So, a few things.

Over the last little week or so since the last time I REALLY posted (not including the last post, which was me being scared shitless and sharing my troubles with you lot) I have finally watched Rent, which I had always heard was really good, and in all honesty, I enjoyed it. When it comes to homosexuality, honestly, it comes right ( Read more... )

 So, I told you lot I had lots of fun things for my costume. I just ordered a patch from Abney Park (and a Tee! w00t!) as well as the red patch from Dr. Steel. I had in mind to make one steampunk jacket or something, but I'm reconsidering this. I have a brown fleece jacket I'm planning to use for AP and in general airship things (I have some neat ( Read more... )

Well, it's Saturday. We've planned to do the Tobias-Severus dinner tonight, and I just know I'm going to have to start it.

-.-; Curse it all.

In other news, I'm working on a JulNoWriMo -- if that sounds familiar, it's bascially the same thing as NaNoWriMo, only the acronym is off. Basically, it's an unofficial copy of the OFFICIAL "NAtional NOvel ( Read more... )

 So, for any of you lot who missed my advise to go check out Sev's Journal as I'm writing his engagement, I'll say it again: OMG. Snape is getting married!

I finally got in touch with Bronwyn last night, and I am very pleased to inform you lot that we are going to bring Tobias in (as I expected, but I wasn't sure yet to what extent) ALONG WITH his ( Read more... )
