Goat Stuffed Animals??

  • Dec. 7th, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Okay this is probably one of the stranger things I've asked on the Internet haha.

My dad loves the little goat in the Telus commercial. Guaranteed to get a chuckle out of him. As such my mom and I constantly make fun of him. We joked that we were going to get him a goat for Christmas and keep it in the backyard.

Obviously not feasible... so I was kind of thinking of getting him a joke present of a big stuffed animal goat haha. Has anyone seen them?!

Sleep-Deprivation Chronicles: Chapter 2

  • Dec. 7th, 2009 at 11:06 AM
I have no idea if this actually counts as "chronicling" my sleep-deprivation or not, but... whatever. I never said I was going to keep up with it that much. Did I? If I did, I was probably delirious at the time, so we'll say that's null & void.

Anyhoo, continuing on now. It's been about 6 days since I've had a decent night's rest. Around Day 4, it was starting to really catch up with me. I was feeling tired, my eyes burned and felt like they were bugging out of their sockets, I had a massive headache from the time I got up until the time I went back to bed. Come to think of it, that really hasn't changed much, except for the fact that my headaches have graduated into migraines and my eyes have pretty much gotten used to feeling like they've dislodged themselves from my skull. Heh.

Uh, okay, moving on. Where was I going with this? I have no idea. Oh! I guess I can update on how I've been feeling otherwise. That helps. Umm... let's see: Tuesday was terrible. After having forced myself out of bed at around noon, pretty much all I did was mope around the house like a zombie and cry periodically throughout the day for no reasons apparent or discernible to me. Wednesday was exactly the opposite. I woke up super early, probably around 7:30, even after having only slept for barely 4 hours. I put on some music, cleaned the house, then went ride around town to look at Christmas lights & decorations with Jayla. All-in-all, Wednesday was an extreme-high day for me. Thursday wasn't so bad. I did a little more tidying up around the house, did laundry, then Jayla came over for a little bit and we had pizza. By the time she left, though, I had a massive headache AND a fever, so for the rest of the day, I just kind of took it easy.

Friday was an off day again. I woke up with a migraine that felt like a 2,000-lb. man was tap-dancing on my brain. No lie. It was bad. I took some meds for that and it lessened; that's to say, the man lost a little weight, maybe went down to 1,000 pounds instead. Heh. I was really trying not to be a stinker though because it was supposed to snow here Friday night and I was really looking forward to that. Well, it did snow and it was pretty great, but I ended up being dragged out of the house into the cold to go to a bonfire at my grandfather's house. I didn't have to go, but my parents were worried about the freezing temperatures and what would happen if the power went out with me home all by my itty-bitty, so... yeah, I was dragged out of my nice, warm, comfy house and subjected to the cold & wind and the screaming of two insubordinate children. The little crumb-snatchers, I swear, the more you ask them to be quiet, the louder they get. Ugh. Needless to say, by the time we made it home that night, my tap-dancing migraine man had gained another 1,500 pounds.

As for the rest of the weekend, it wasn't so bad. The early part of Saturday was spent riding around town with my parents after going for morning drinks (it's a weekend ritual for us to go and have coffee or some other early-morning beverage and then ride around for no reason other than to stave off boredom afterward), while the later part was spend inside watching old crappy movies and cooking. Sunday, however, got off to a rocky start when my dad decided he wanted to be an ass and basically accuse me of spending excessive amounts of money by "going out and partying it up." No kidding. Those were his words. Going out and partying. Like, seriously? Who the hell does he think he's speaking to? Certainly not I, who never goes anywhere or does anything. I most definitely do NOT party. I know what his problem is though. I spend about $100 to go to the Emilie Autumn concert a few weeks ago and it ticked him off because there was something he wanted to do that weekend and he couldn't afford to do it. I also ordered EA's "Asylum" book as a Christmas present to myself because I was told that I wasn't going to be getting anything from my parents for the holidays. That's enough for him to accuse me of "blowing money" and "going out and planning my next big party." So, yeah, that set me off and I had to fight off the urge to cry for a while after that because I was just like, "What have I done so wrong? The only concert I've ever gone to in my life, and now I get this bullshite thrown back in my face?" It kind of devastated me, but my mom came to my rescue by calmly explaining that the money I spent had been saved from college scholarship reimbursements, therefore it was my money, and he had no say in how I spent it. Of course, he had to have the last word: "Well, she needs to save that money to do other things, like get herself to a doctor and get some medicine for whatever the hell's going on with her lately, and then she needs to pay back that loan she let slide by dropping out of school because I can't afford that and it's not my fault either that she decided to let everything go." [sarcasm]Gee, thanks, Dad. Way to make me NOT feel like a failure.[sarcasm/]

It took a while for me to get over that, but I did eventually. It still pisses me off that that's what he thinks of me. I've never partied in my life, not ever. Not even once. I don't go out and go to bars or hang out in clubs and spend money on drinks and drugs or whatever. Every now and then, when I have money, yes, I'm guilty of impulse-buying a new movie or video game or book. For the first time in my life just a few weeks ago, yeah, I also splurged on EA concert tickets and went with a friend to New Orleans to see the show where I ended up having the best night I've had in a long time. And, sure, I ordered myself a Christmas gift because no one else is going to get me anything and I think that's pretty shitty, so why not treat myself? I think I more than deserve it for busting my ass for so many years, not only at school, but at home too. My dad just doesn't seem to know or understand me anymore, and that hurts me because right now, more than anything, I need him to understand me and be supportive instead of bitchy and bitter and cynical.

Speaking of cynical, he doesn't even believe that I'm fighting depression. My mom told him what I've been going through the other night and I overheard them talking about it afterward and all he kept saying was, "I think it's a stunt because she doesn't want to go back to school and she wants me off her case. She's always had these little bouts, just like everyone else who gets down in the dumps. She just doesn't want to come out of this one. It's probably not even real depression." Once again, thanks, Dad, for showing just how much of a pompous ass you can be. And once again, my mom stood up for me. She's been through the same thing, fighting her own mental illness (bi-polar disorder and manic depression), and he didn't believe her for the longest time either. Still doesn't, I think. He just thinks it's a stunt for attention, which is bullshite. So she understands where I'm coming from and she kept trying to tell him that this isn't just some little bout of sadness where I can just plaster on a fake smile and force myself to get over it and be happy again. I've been feeling like this for months now and I'm beginning to realize that there is no way for me to pull myself out of it anymore. I just can't do it. Every time I think I've accomplished going back to "normal", I just end up getting sucked right back down. I need actual help and support and understanding and he just thinks taking a stern tone with me and bullying me with questions on top of questions on top of questions is going to fix me. Well, newsflash! It's not helping, Dad! You're only making it worse!

I just don't think he sees how much his attitude toward me lately actually hurts me--physically, mentally, and emotionally. Either that, or he just doesn't care. His own 'fuck everything' attitude is just clouding his mind and his judgment. It makes me kind of glad I have a doctor's appointment today, that way I can say, "Look, Dad, this is what the doctor said. This is REAL. This is what I'm going through. Do you see now? I'm not faking it. I'm not lying. This isn't a cry for attention. This is for real and I need help." Whether or not he believes me after that, well, that's his decision and I will respect it, but I certainly don't have to put up with his shite.

And unholy god, LONG RANT IS LONG. Sorry, F-List. Didn't mean to get all rant-y on ya. And LJ cut still isn't working for me, so... my apologies again. I'll stop typing now. I have to go get ready for my appointment anyway...

Writer's Block: Top ten playlist

  • Dec. 7th, 2009 at 10:10 AM

What is your top-ten song list? What was it when you were a kid? Is there any overlap?


View 239 Answers



Current top-ten (not really in any order):
1. 4 O'Clock (Emilie Autumn)
2. Astral Romance (Nightwish)
3. Again (Flyleaf)
4. Swallow (Emilie Autumn)
5. The Poet & the Pendulum (Nightwish)
6. Innocence (Halestorm)
7. Sancta Terra (Epica)
8. Face the Wall (Emilie Autumn)
9. The Art of Suicide (Emilie Autumn)
10. When You Hurt Me the Most (Stream of Passion)

And my top-ten when I was younger basically consisted of nothing but Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, N'Sync, and the Backstreet Boys, so... yeah... definitely no overlap there. lol! I've expanded my musical tastes significantly and for the better, if I must say so myself. I mean, going from nothing but pop & hip-hop to industrial, classical, jazz, rock, and symphonic metal? Yeah, that's an upgrade in my opinion. For serious. =)

Who is your best friend and why she or he is so important to you?

Submitted By [info]twitterquotes

I've had many close friends over the years. I'd say both my sisters are really close to me or even my good friend from highschool, but they don't really know me. For me, I'd have to say my best friend is my partner of 15 years. She knows me inside and out, through good times and bad. She has seen me at my best, and at my worst, and still is standing at my side. She calls me on my shit and forces me think about things and can always make me laugh. And at the end of the day I can trust her to tell me the truth, whether I want to hear it or not. Isn't that what friendship is all about?

"I like the red ones best..."

  • Dec. 6th, 2009 at 11:36 PM
So, I finally have the first of the three poll illustrations that I promised you all way back when finished. I love weekends for getting caught up.

This one (as I'm sure any Sarah/Cameron fan knows) is from [info]inspectorboxer 's "More than a Mission."

I had a lot of scenes in mind for this fic even before it won the poll, but I couldn't resist Cameron's original introduction to sprinkles. I picked it both for the scene's inherent humor, and the way the fan's have really embraced this addition to Cameron's character. In John's words; "Cameron is a sprinkles kind of girl."

Sins of the Child, Chapter Eight

  • Dec. 6th, 2009 at 6:41 PM

Sins of the Child
Fewthistle
Olivia/Natalia
Guiding Light
Multi-Chapter, On-Going Story
Rating: Eventually R at least
Chapters 8: 4,167 words

Author’s Note: Given that TPTB did indeed manage to take an amazing storyline that they labored over with love and devotion for the past eighteen months and royally screw it up, I decided to write my own version of what I, and some good friends, felt would be a logical storyline in keeping with the overall arc of this relationship, in order to explain Natalia’s month long absence.

It also embraces the over-riding theme of family and motherhood without resorting to the trite and clichéd, hack-writer scenario of making Natalia pregnant, much less having her leave Olivia without a word or note, a plot that beggars the imagination. This is a story that does deal with the past, with the struggle on the part of both these women to somehow be better parents than their own mothers were. And of how all of us, eventually, have to come to terms with our own pasts.

This is set post June 22, but does not include the events of the week of June 29, 2009. This timeline and story veer off forever from this point.

A/N: Thanks to darandkerry for the support, encouragement and friendship, as well for being a dedicated beta! Love ya, Tex-Ass! Thanks as well to Kelinswriter, who has offered advice and suggestions, and who lets her Liv come out and play with my Bossy one. Cheers!!

And a new addition to the Few’s Betas team, Senpai20, who has generously offered her extensive knowledge of Chicago to one whose entire store of information about the Windy City comes from sitting in the terminal at O’Hare. Thanks, dear!!

A/N 2: Warning: Chapter 2 does make a reference to Olivia’s past and in particular to an act of violence in her past. I did want to make certain that I made the reader aware of this discussion, due to its sensitive nature.

A/N 3: Well, since we know little to nothing about Natalia’s family and her past, I have taken some liberties. I know there is no reference to her having siblings, but my own personal experience with many Puerto Rican friends leads me to surmise that she probably does. Given the proscriptions of the church and societal expectations, it is rare to find Puerto Rican families with only one child. And, to me at least, there is a symmetry in Natalia having two older brothers, making her not only the youngest, but the only girl, a factor that would no doubt play a large part in the reaction of her parents to her unexpected pregnancy at 16. I have tried not to stray too far down the path of stereotypes in terms of sibling relationships, but clichés are clichés for a reason: they hold elemental truths. Thus, Natalia’s brothers. Chalk it all up to poetic license, if you will.
