This Is Where The World Drops Off

A WTF!??! and an Are You Serious???

2009-11-05T21:05:17Z

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.

OMG, this is SO me!!!

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.

What Treat Should You Give Out For Halloween?

Blogthings: Quizzes and Tests and Memes, Oh My!

The third part...ME. Ask anyone.

OMG, DON'T EAT THAT!!!!!

2009-10-31T00:59:46Z

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*

I'm...verklempt

2009-10-26T04:47:14Z

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!!!

I forgot to repost this!

Fundee posted mpreg and broked my brain

2009-10-23T04:16:00Z

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.

O, Hai!!!

2009-10-20T03:57:38Z

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??

Is this for real!??!?

2009-10-18T02:03:51Z

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*

Major race fail in Louisiana

2009-10-16T17:21:27Z

Interracial couple denied marriage certificate in La

Oh, it gets better.

I gotta pull out my favorite parts of this argument. Original in bold.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

Judge Barwell, meet Mr & Mrs Red. Married since 1986.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

I don't have piles of black friends, does that make me somewhat less than you? And OMG, you let them use the Whites Only Potty??? How fucking progressive are you, then!!!

Seriosly, I can't BELIEVE he said that about the bathroom. Hope some guy forgot to lift the seat.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

Again, Judge Bardwell, meet Child 1 and Child 2. Biracial, relatively well-adjusted. Their problems don't stem from being biracial, they stem form peer pressure, in one case homophobia at times...uh oh...I have a gay child. O NOES!!! Interracial couples make gay babies!!! *flails* Oh, take away my marriage certificate, NOW!!! I'm not worthy!!!

Here's the (un)happy couple:

Beth Humphrey, 30, and 32-year-old Terence McKay, both of Hammond, say they will consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint.

Humphrey, an account manager for a marketing firm, said she and McKay, a welder, just returned to Louisiana. She is white and he is black. She plans to enroll in the University of New Orleans to pursue a masters degree in minority politics.

Hope you sue his ass.

This is the same reason that denying gay couples the right to marry is wrong. You, John Q Public, don't get to decide whether or not any couple has the right to marry, unless it's a case of being underage or mentally incapacitated and unable to voice their consent.

And you, Judge Bardwell, should be disbarred. ASAP.

Oh, the things I could say!!!

OMFG!!! Well, THAT wasn't such a good idea!! UPDATE

2009-10-15T19:31:44Z

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.

So, wanna see what my day was like??

2009-10-14T04:39:49Z

This is one of 6!

Rain, wind, trees falling, power out, cable out all evening (that means NO INTERNET!!!)...it just came back on.

If I didn't know where I was, I'd have thought I'd woken up back on the Oregon coast!

Here, have another!

This is why I love Michael Moore

2009-10-09T19:38:36Z

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?

Do not deny me!!!!

2009-10-07T03:17:00Z

I need this icon.

I do not know how to make animated icons, so I need somebody smarter than me to do this.

This icon that I need must say:

"Voldemort was right.

Muggles really are too stupid to live."

Of course, my darling Lucius already knew this. *nods*

So, ummm....thanks, k?

ETA: Thank you, pfodge!!!! Lookit my new icon!!!!

Hey, Cel, this has GOT to be a sign of the Apocalypse!!!

2009-10-06T19:54:21Z

So...*tries not to laugh*

The conservative wing of our country has a new project.

*tries VERY hard not to laugh*

They want to make the Bible more conservative.

Yeah.

They want to take "the more liberal" passages out of the Bible.

*begins to snicker*

Like, what, exactly? I'm curious. Like the part about "Love thy neighbor as thyself"? Or..."Blessed are the poor"? Oh...hey, I know!!!

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

See, below that, in teeny tiny script it says, "Cept for you screaming pinko Commie liberal bastards."

*loses it, dies laughing*

Oh, humans, you do amuse me so.

Let me leave you with my favorite part:

Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

Sounds even better when...well, here. If we're all going to hell, let us have good music.

Icon Meme!!!

2009-10-02T04:06:23Z

Bunny was bored, so not_yet_defined came up with this icon game!

Here's the rules, as stolen from jule1122:

All you need to do is post 10 of your favorite shareable icons. If everyone does this we can all find new icons to love, new icon makers to stalk, and lots of fabulous tiny pictures to squee over. This is super easy. Everyone has at least 10 icons they love!

The only rule is every iconmaker must be credited!

Post your choices in your journal!

ETA: Ny says that this was Jule's great idea, so kudos to Jule!!!!

Let's start with a static version of my beloved default!

made by paddies I adore Snoopy!Justin. It's one of my favorite scenes from the show. He's just bouncing around, happy as a lark, and he looks so goofy at the same time.

made by paddies This was one of the first icons I ever uploaded. For those of you who've known me since 2006, you know it's also the one that got me suspended from LJ. lol Oh, those were the days! Why do I love it? There's thrusting, moaning, groaning, and a shiny nipple ring! Duh! Plus...it's fucking hot.

made by paddies Emmett's Punjab Scarf Dance of Liberation. Nuff said.

made by paddies I think I asked Gio to make this one. I know I asked for my default. This is one of my favorite Justin scenes. Printing out the acceptance letter to Dartmouth, looking at the bedroom door, where his denim jacket hung. He stares, then turns the paper to its blank side. Then...the essence of Justin is revealed, pencil stroke by pencil stroke. As he gets into the groove, a smile appears. THIS is Justin Taylor, now and forever. Respect, bitches!

made by brianslave68 This scene breaks my heart. Justin looks so lost here. This is what disillusion looks like. What life bitchslapping you looks like.

made by zaipixie My darling Pixie made this. I fell in love with it, because I have this insane love of desaturation, evidenced by how many times I've watched 300 (a visual orgasm of a movie!) Of course I made her teach me how to do this.

made by not_yet_defined I can't remember what we were talking about, but some time back, I said something about "wonderful wtf-ery". Ny thought it was good enough to iconize. It pretty much sums up what I think about...most things. lol

Which leads me to this one: made by nerilka24 During a marathon of 314, I called this scene "the orgasmic re-saturation of color". Nerilka was working on gif icons, and I think this was one of her first. It's like waking up and watching the world come into focus.

made by fun_demented This was the result of me ranting about something, and begging someone to make me a "Hell To The No!" icon. Fundee made me this. Yo, it's Madea, you can't lose with that!

made by zaipixie Pixie made me this, after much begging. I love, love, LOVE that damned crooked incisor of Brian's. It makes him...pretty. Especially when he smiles like that. Om nom nom!!

There are others, some that I use more, but these are the ones that leapt out at me.

Okay, this took...forever. lol Your turn!!!

Pimping!!!

2009-09-27T23:32:23Z

This past week was absolutely crazy.

As you guys know (and I've whined constantly about), I had an inspection last week that took almost two months to prepare for. It was insane and stressful, and some days I just wanted to crawl under the covers and never come out.

But then, I came across this...fic.

It could be considered crack...okay, fine, it's crack like I've never seen.

And it had me laughing hysterically this week, a much needed diversion.

Please, PLEASE go read the incredibly funny, so full of teh love Twinky And The Tramp by the wildly imaginative and talented dottie_jane.

This just makes me fall in love all over again.

Along those lines, we've got ourselves a brand new writer in our fandom. My darling the_minx_17 fell to the power that is QAF and inhaled it, much like the rest of us did. And since she's written for several other fandoms already, what was one more?

She is currently posting a WIP called Impasto. This is for part one, and part two was just posted today! Right here! Go and give her some love!

Shoutouts!!!

2009-09-27T21:00:02Z

First off, let's hear it for the birthday girls!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, qafmaniac & kari77!!!

Two lovely and talented women, who make our fandom prettier with layouts, tinypics, vids, and their willingness to help anyone who asks. Hope your days are especially special!

Then, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, wolfiekins & koshweasley!!

12 years and counting!!! All my love and best to you both!!

Oh, and Koshie...how are the Browns looking this year? *g*

If you love Brian And Justin...

2009-09-27T01:40:04Z

Ummm...DUH.

There are days when I really don't like being a girl

2009-09-25T18:26:06Z

Cramps suck.

They suck even more when you have to work.

Especially when you left your ibuprofen at home.

*writhes in agony*

Descent into Lame-itude

2009-09-25T03:35:29Z

Will someone tell me WHY I'm watching Vampire Diaries??

Seriously, why???

Oh...I know.

Cause they don't sparkle in the daylight.

And while it is totally lame, one of the girls is a direct descendent of "The Salem Witches"...radical...

...and Ian Sommerhalder is so. fucking. hot.

Not so much the other brother. The nice one.

I don't like nice boys.

*goes back to show*

Ummm...anyone got an icon of Damon Salvatore? *hides*

Missing fangirls

2009-09-24T15:06:29Z

Ummm...anybody seen fun_demented?

And testdog65?

It's over

2009-09-24T01:02:10Z

Well...

The main inspector had a limp barely there handshake, was rather "snotty" according to my Zen boss, and maybe said 4 words beyond introducing herself.

Her assistant was very pleasant, on the other hand. He was the lucky one that got to do unit inspections with us.

At 3pm.

In the damn-near-100 degree heat. Needless to say, those went fast.

And he didn't pick any of the bad ones!!!!

They did, however, pick one of the files that I didn't want them to...that we finished up this morning. BUT, as far as we know, that's not the one they picked apart.

So much for trying to out-guess the inspector. It is their job to find something, you see.

I won't know for about 3 weeks what the findings were, but hey, I did my best. The boss was happy. She and I and our compliance person spent the afternoon hanging out in my office dissing the inspector. lol

Thanks to everyone who held my hand and kept me sane the last two months. I couldn't have done it without you!!!

And yes, the Grand Cosmo bottle is in the freezer, chillin'!

It's that day!!!

2009-09-23T15:04:56Z

1:00 this afternoon.

Wish me luck!!!

ION...what the fuck rock did Moammar Khadaffy crawl out from under, and WHY is he on my tv?

Ans is it just me, or does he look like Carlos Santana dressed like a pimp?

*dies laughing*

I need more coffee.

ETA: Srsly, WTF is Khadaffy TALKING ABOUT!?!?! I'm so confused!!!! rotfl
