USS SAMUEL GOMPERS, AD-37

The Sammy G, we called her.

Here, I grew up. I learned to weld (not very well), work on typewriters (omg, remember the Selectric!?!), perform Damage Control maintenance (a deck drain will gross you out, trust me!), fire a weapon (accurately) and stand watch.

On this floating bucket of bolts, I visited exotic places:

ETA: I got this from michira_70, and IJ timed out on me, so it didn't post what I wrote, it cut it off halfway. So thanks, Michi!!!

First, the WTF:

One shooter in custody, two at large in Ft Hood shootings

This is breaking right now. The schools in the area are on lockdown and the post is, as well. Stay safe, flisters in the area!



And while I was at HuffPo following up on the first story, I saw this: Parents want threesome episode blocked from CW

Okay, so Gossip Girl, which I don't watch, has an episode coming up where three of the characters engage in a menage a troi. A parents group, Parents Television Council, is asking for the episode to be pre-empted or pulled, cause Susie and Jimmy's eyes might fall out.

Note to Stoopid Parents: The BEST way to ensure that your kids will do something that you don't want them to do is to POINT IT OUT IN A LOUD AND PUBLIC MANNER. Jesus, the ratings for that episode are gonna be off the hook!!!

And your fear that Susie and Jimmy might wanna have group sex? They probably already are. *shrugs* I'm just saying.

You Should Give Out M&Ms

You are a colorful, fun loving person who has a bit of an addictive personality. Once you've found something you love, it's hard for you to give it up... no matter how bad it is for you. You are both easily amused and easily bored. You need a lot of pretty shiny things to keep you occupied. You are friendly and love to share. Of all the types, you're the most likely to keep a candy bowl out.

The third part...ME. Ask anyone.

Pat Robertson says that witches have prayed over the world's Halloween Candy.

Teh candy is EEEEVIL.

Don't eat it, or you're going to Hell.

*eyes candybowl*

Nom nom nom.

Anybody wanna sit near me?

My god, teh wingnuts crack me up.

I have 2500+ words written for Bunny's challenge.

I'm not done yet.

Minxie's been giving me oxygen for the last two days.

My head hurts.

And I'm hungry.

Must. Finish. Fic!!!


ION, a meme, I haz it!!!

Gakked from snapesgirl_62

Leave a ONE WORD comment that you think describes me. It can only be one word. No more. Then copy & paste this as to your journal so that I may leave a word about you.


ETA: I think I'm done!!! Word count: 3927. *faints*

So, I was working on my Fall Challenge fic when screaming and cursing wafted up the stairs.

It was the husband, yelling at the tv. He does that.

He was accusing the umpires of being blind when it came to calling balls and strikes.

You see, the Yankees were playing.

So, I changed the channel. That was a mistake. I got to witness the Angels get their asses handed to them by the damned Yankees, resulting in the Yankees winning the pennant and going to the World Series.

GO, PHILLIES!!!!

Yes, I do hate the Yankees, why do you ask?

So, following that, I start flipping channels, just killing time before Brothers & Sisters comes on. What do I find?

The Matrix Reloaded.

Yes, I've seen this 5000 times, including once in the theatre. But there's a reason for that. Two reasons, actually.

One is the Zion scene, when the dancing starts. I love that scene, and the song (by Fluke). The tribal drums, the sexual energy of it. I just wish they'd quit cutting away to Neo and Trinity, who were boring.

The other is why I'm posting this.

Monica Bellucci. *flails*

Y'all, I'd give that woman ALL my money. She is the sexiest woman on Earth. Srsly.

So, umm...anyone got an icon of her? Or do I have to go make one myself?


ETA: Well, I did make a couple, but kari77 made some beautiful ones!! Check out the comments, and thanks, love!!!

This was done for the Clusterfuck Challenge back in July at qaf_challenges.

This was a joint entry done by bitchesofbritin: me, zaipixie and firehead30.

( ”Strange )

I need somebody to make a text icon for me...cause I suck at it.

Something to take my mind off the awful mpreg that fun_demented inflicted on me.

She's EVIL!!!!

Oh, and SPN is a repeat. I iz sad.

So...

Remember that inspection that took me two months to get ready for?

We got our write-up for it Friday.

Unit inspections: 1 finding, small hole in the wall. Other than that, units passed.

File review: THIS IS YOUR ASS, SCREWED TO THE WALL.

Have a nice day!

Not one, NOT ONE, did that bitch not find something that she didn't like.

Example:

Unit blah blah blah-"Credit report shows student loans. Is resident a student?"

Bitch, the fucking PRESIDENT just finished paying off his student loans three years ago!!! Was he a student!?!??

Jesus!!!

Unit so and so-"Resident signed this form...not OUR NEW AND IMPROVED FORM."

*headdesk*

Okay, seriously, those are little things, but still, this is now nit-picky that bitch is. There was only one file that she ripped to shreds, and we knew she would. Ain't my fault, I wasn't there for the initial move in. But I gotta fix it, and everything else, by next month.

Woo Hoo.

Oh...did I mention that I have TWO FUCKING INSPECTIONS TOMORROW??????

I'm...I'm gonna go watch the Nazgul fuck up the Gondorians. On repeat. Then I'm gonna watch 300. Then I'm...going to bed.

And...the cardinal is visiting.

I'm thisclose to a homicidal rage. Someone needs to...I don't know, write porn or...something.

Where's that fell beast icon I used to have??

I was gonna lock this on my rant filter, but...fuck that.


PLEASE, GOD, TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE!!!!

Yes, the capslock is there for a reason.

*wanders off muttering*

ETA: That whateverthefuck deleted both of my comments, and a really well thought out concrit, too! Fuck that. I PM'd bloodyrose and asked her to go police that entry, take it down or post about posting policy. It's not under a cut, it's atrocious, and seriously...WTF???

ETA 2: PM'd the mod, the eyesore is NO MORE!!!!

I should have screengrabbed it. Did anyone do that?

ETA 3: OMG!!!! My darling sidhe saved teh BADFIC!!! I haz it!!!! *does the Justin Snoopy Dance*

Interracial couple denied marriage certificate in La

Oh, it gets better.

( Who asked for your opinion?!? )

I am NOT making this shit up.

There's a 6 year old kid in Colorado trapped in a helium balloon, haul-assing through the skies RIGHT NOW.

Here's a link to the live video:

6 yr old Falcon Heene trapped in helium balloon.

God, I hope they get him down safe. The National Guard has sent a helicopter after the balloon.

ETA:

Somebody is gonna be in DEEP SHIT!!!! They got the balloon down, and THERE'S NO KID IN IT!!!!

So, my question is...WHERE IS THE KID!?!?! More later as scene develops.

ETA2: Kid was found, hiding in the attic and crying. But safe.

This is one of 6!

( Welcome to Davis, CA! )

So, I spent the morning flipping through the blogosphere, watching people's heads asplode, or reading back-handed congratualtions to President Obama for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

A prize, I might add, that he certainly didn't lobby for, and, judging by his reaction, had no idea was going to be awarded to him.

Want a well thought out reason why he was awarded this?

Then check out this diary by Michael Moore

Does he deserve this? Quite frankly, I'm not on the consideration committee, so I can't anwser that. I don't know what the specific criteria is for deciding, nor do I know who the other contenders were. So I'll leave that to others more learned than me.

And, even though he was speaking about health care reform, this comment by Rep Alan Grayson pretty much sums up my thoughts about the things I've read today.

Regarding the American people, Rep Grayson said this:

"They understand that if Barack Obama were somehow able to cure hunger in the world the Republicans would blame him for overpopulation"

"They understand that if Barack Obama could somehow bring about world peace they would blame him for destroying the defense industry."

"In fact, they understand that if Barack Obama has a BLT sandwhich tommorrow for lunch, they will try to ban bacon."

Yep. And there are a few Democrats that fall into this category, as well.

Oh, btw, some asshole over on Redstate.com says that this is an affirmative action move. Now, ain't that classy?
