I figured I ought to share this. Odd found it, Aelita liked the soundtrack, and I... well, it's practically ancient science fiction. How could I not save it here?

I've gained an ally in Karen, hopefully. I'm glad she didn't call me crazy... it's odd. She reminds me of Sissi, only not bent on making life impossible for everyone.

Thinking back, I can't help but wonder if maybe we should've brought her in after that first night... she wasn't completely useless. Just mostly. (And Odd said she helped him out ( Read more... )

Going back to the church I didn't believe in for most of my life, and then...

...but what else can you do? Prayer seems the only resort, in this situation.

I blame Jordan and Orlando. XD

Jeremie: Desra, a tiger. (Modest, solitary, assertive, flexible, and responsible. I'm not seeing how "flexible" fits him, but....)

Sam: Thalius, a honeybee. (Sociable, competitive, responsible, shy, and humble. Erm. Yes, yes, yes, no, and no.)

Okay. On Eva's, I gave mostly flippant little answers to the question "What don't they know about her?" simply because I'm embarrassed at how much thought I've put into her. I would have done the same for Jeremie, but unfortunately it's proved nigh-impossible for me to be flippant where Hacker Shota's concerned. Due to the lack of backstory given ( Read more... )

She prays. Even after everything, even with what we face on an almost daily basis, she prays.

I'm wrong to think it's - no, I can't even type that out. What if I'm the one who's wrong?

I never thought I'd say this about an earache-causing bacterium, but... look how cute it is!

And they have the flu, too!

And so many others!

A high, cathedralesque ceiling vaults above; the metal beams holding this place together and up all show signs of wear and rust. If you look up and around, you should be able to see a broken-off staircase dangling down from a clerestory level to thin air, some small ( Read more... )

Does anyone know how to deal with migraines? I know looking at a glowing screen isn't helping any, but... ugh. My head hurts to the point where I'm nauseous, this is keeping me from throwing up.

Help. Please. For the love of all that's just.

Damn it. DAMN IT. I just... god damn it, I can't take it anymore!

I'm sorry, David. I can't stand by anymore.
