*HUGS* FOR MY WHOLE FLIST FAMILY!

They Shot Me In The Ass!
Hello flist,

It's been a while since I've posted *cough* months *cough* and I wanted to check in and say hi to everyone!

*waves*

Those are real coughs by the way. Cause I'm fighting a real bout of pneumonia. They really did give me a shot in the you-know-where. And I'm on nebulizer treatments and broad-spectrum antibiotics and so many other things I feel like a patient in House. No sexy looking doctors unfortunately.

So send me good energy everyone! I could use it!

Retreat!
No, really, don't run away (hardy har har), I'm actually on a retreat. Which is going wonderfully! I love it out here in beautiful Unity Village...

But anyways, just wanted to log on and let everyone know that if you don't hear from me (or see me on AIM) for the next couple of days, that's where I am.

Relaxing, getting messages, and to top it all off it's a gay retreat! Yay for gayness!

Alright, enough, time to get back to... doing absolutely nothing.

Never Felt This Fucking Let Down Before
Okay yes, I'm happy Obama won. Estatic even.

But my GOD! Prop 8 passing just sucked all hope I had for humanity dry....

That's all I have to say because I'm too busy crying my eyes out and I need a tissue.

Current Mood: and sad and tired

I did it too!
Just logging in to say I did my civic duty! Got the sticker and the cookie and everything... well, not everything. I'll feel like I've got everything if Prop 8 does NOT pass! People remember Prop 8 in your prayers!

I'm leaving for Missouri tomorrow, Misery. First place, I won't know what Props have passed or not, but I do have a laptop and internet access at the airport (hopefully) before and after my flight! So let me KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ehem. I'm not going to sleep this night am I?

aaaaaaaaaarrrrgggg! Voting time!
As voting time draws near, I realize just how much of a bad American I really am. Seriously.

I got all the important stuff out of the way. Voted for Obama. Voted yes on Prop 2 in Cali, voted no on Props 4 & 8 also in Cali.

Now my thing is.... now what? I've got all these strange people and strange names and yes they are STRANGERS cause I don't know them or their cause or their beliefs. Shit. And the rest of the Props, what am I supposed to do with those?!!

*pokes ballot with ten foot poll*

If you guys have any other passions about what's on the ballot this year, now's the time to try to persuade me. I'm not saying tell me who to vote for, I'm just asking your thoughts on the other.... people and things.

Please?

I'm a miserable fuck--never thought I'd say that!
So I just caved in and joined

wrisomifu, cause there was no way I am going to do Nano.

Maybe next year, when I have a good-sized plot bunny.

But I'm already half way to a (nearly) 50,000 page novel going and I think that would be cheating. Plus I got Bigbang going and let's face it, I doubt it's going to be 50,000 words. (OMG, yeah right! Famous last words on my part!)

And I do have another bunny biting (it hurts!) that's going to be long and... I just can't write fast enough.

Plus I'm lazy and procrastinating on all of the above.

Take, for instance, the fact that I can't write big bang without watching "Victoria's Secret" and "Call of the Wild". I must watch, I NEED TO WATCH!!! But I don't because I don't want to be disappointed or disillusioned or maybe because they both sound too depressing...

The good ~~bad, very bad~~ part of this is I have wonderful betas who I love and they encourage me and support me and hold me responsible and......

*drops head* I feel like a miserable fuck for having to put them through all this angst for so long! Sorry guys, I love you!!!!!!!

So yeah, miserable fuck it is.

Quick Question
Okay, how does one "cross-post"?

What is it?

How does it work?

How do I do it?

Anyone who answers these questions before I become buried in LJ Q&A wins gold stars!

Pimping: Great Story!

rare_fandom just wrote an awesome Young Wizards story called "On Life's Terms."

You, yes you, people go read it! It's Tom/Carl slash.

But here's the best part, it's written before any of the books so you don't have to read the books to understand (mostly) the story.

Just give it a shot, flist, I implore you.

And the fact that I'm proud for beta-reading this sucker has absolutely nothing to do with this...

Current Mood: giddy

Here's the Lastest News from the Equal Rights Campaign
Marriage equality in California is now losing by 5 points, according to the latest poll numbers.

Until that poll, we were leading in California. What happened? Anti-LGBT groups are winning the fundraising battle by more than $10 million – and their vicious, untrue ads are everywhere.

Our lead has slipped, but victory is still within reach. We need to get on the air quickly to counter their lies and we need your help to do it.

Generous donors Tom Bombardier and John Fowler, along with the Human Rights Campaign, will double every online contribution TODAY, up to $120,000.

Donate now to the HRC California Marriage PAC – No on Proposition 8 and your gift for marriage equality will be DOUBLED.

Can you imagine a loving, committed, married couple watching their marriage rights evaporate against their will? I don't think there's any precedent for that in modern civilization.

Well, that's what could happen across California if Proposition 8 passes and the decision of the state Supreme Court is reversed.

Anti-LGBT forces are organizing and mobilizing furiously, raising money hand over fist, ginning up fear and resentment. Groups like Focus on the Family, members of the Mormon Church, and even the national Knights of Columbus have provided significant funding. And it appears their tactics are working – the recent polls show that California voters now favor the Amendment to ban marriage equality, 47 to 42 percent.

It's up to us to make sure the truth gets out, but we can only do that if we raise more money. Right now, their war chest is $10 million deeper than ours – and that gap is growing.

The Human Rights Campaign has been on the ground in California from the beginning of this fight, contributing time and resources, and we're not ready to give up now. In fact, we have already contributed more than $2 million to this fight. I'm guessing you aren't ready to give up either.

For those of us deeply committed to equality and dignity for LGBT Americans, the time is now – especially now that generous donors Tom Bombardier and John Fowler and HRC will double your gift and make it go twice as far.

Will you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us today? Every dollar you give right now will be DOUBLED and sent straight to California.

Wake up on November 5th knowing you did everything you could. We have equality, basic human decency and the truth on our side. Now we need you.

Warmly,

Joe Solmonese

President

Hear ye, hear ye... all Californians (and others) attention!!!
Okay so here's the word:

NO! NO ON PROP 8! NO ON PROP 4!

Election day is coming up and your vote matters!!!

Prop 8 would take away the right for gay marriage... and I'd really like to marry in this state.

Prop 4 would require 48 hours of parental notice before an abortion... really, really bad idea!

So, say it again, sing it with me this time:

NO! NO ON PROP 8! NO ON PROP 4!

People who can't vote can always donate... try http://noonprop8.com/ to see what else you can do to help!

*has ballot* *filling in NO with darkest pen I can find*

What have I done? Good Jesus, what have I done?
So... I signed up for a Due South Big Bang.

Ehem.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Okay, I'm fine. Really, I'm fine.

I'm fine!

Just... can my wonderful flist be there to cheer me on through the next 8 months? Pwetty please?

Beta Anyone?
Okay, so I have this wonderful story underway for the "Young Wizards" genre but I can NOT seem to get any further without asking for a beta's help.

I need another perspective. I need a little boost.

I need someone to read this over, it doesn't matter if you've ever read Diane Duane books before.

So, anyone on my flist willing to give it a go? Or know any good betas who might help? Or know how to find a good beta?

Pretty please with a cherry on top!

Testing, Testing, Is This Thing On?
Okay, so I haven't posted here since...

*checks*

My birthday in April. But I just figured out this entirely new and true fact, that I'm sure several people already know, but I'll tell it anyways.

David Shore, Creator (and writer) of House, once was the Story Editor (and writer) of Due South.

So it's no wonder both are so wonderfully slashy!

I'm not sure if this is just coincidence but just in case...

*bows to David Shore*

MY BIRTHDAY! YAY!
So my dad took me to this restaurant, Jake's, which is on the beach. And we had so much fun! Rosie (my service dog) wanted to chase gulls and those little sand piper birdies. We ended up walking for a good mile until we came back for dinner. What did I have...?

LOBSTER! LOBSTER! LOBSTER!

Ehem.

Anyways, today on my actual birthday (the 5th not the 4th) we went and got a yamaha keyboard because I'm learning to play piano and everything. I can't wait to...

...go read the damn instructional manual. God I hate those!

On a side note, and here cue the violin, practically nobody remembered it was my birthday. Family did, my best friend did, but not you guys or anyone else (minus one) at college.

I always wish you happy birthday, don't I? *tear*

Drag Night Second-Chance 80's Prom
So, it's that time of year again. The night where the whole school switches sexes.

You lot do that too, right?

It's a college tradition. Which can sometimes be taken waaaaaaay too seriously. The guys (men) in particular go all out. All I've been hearing is dress and high heel and make up talk from them all week.

And don't even get me started on the ladies.

I'm not so extravagant personally. I've got my pin-stripped pants and jacket, all I need are trouser clippings and a bowler hat and I'd have it made. But I'll just pull back my hair and go with what I've got. Maybe draw on a mustache, not sure.

This is gonna be so much fun, I'm really hyped! Problem is, as you can probably figure out, who is straight and who is gay is gonna be 100% impossible to tell. Which is the whole point really. That's why it's held by the PRIDE club.

Still, last prom I went to was 100% gay. I'm gonna end up doing something embarrassing tonight, I just know it. Oh hell, there's this girl I like who is a lesbian and I've been making a downright fool of myself all week in front of her. But there's always room for more.

But that's not the point. Finally, for once, I don't have to be the one in high heels, make up, and a dress! Yay!

(Now if only I had a proper icon for this...)

Current Mood: bouncy

I miss you all!
I know it's been a long time since I've said anything here. But I really miss my friends! It's my fault for not staying in touch, I know, but if you could all respond with a little something that would make my day.

I love you all!

I'm COMING OUT!

So... came out to the last people on the list. My dad and my step-mom.

And the reaction was...

...can I get back to you on that?

*anxious but relieved*
