Boom de yada So I don't really watch TV. Ever. So when people started going off about the Discovery Channel ad, I was mystified but I thought all the new lyrics were pretty cute. Then someone on ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) geekmoms went and posted the version her guy wrote for Doctor Who with a link to the thread that had inspired it. So I went and watched the original ad. Then I watched the ad set to Doctor Who clips. Then I sang the Doctor Who version her husband had written. And then I went into XKCD and sang along with that one. Hehe. Yeah. |

So, I've been missing all the crafty things in my life. I'm moving to Houston in just a few weeks, and I won't have space for all of my craft junk, so I decided to just take up embroidering, since the supplies are cheap and doesn't take up too much space. For one of my first projects (after my attempt to do a Vogart kitten crashed and burned) was a Stormtrooper... thing.. for my friend. I'm not exactly sure what to call it. A patch? that will be mounted and framed? Anyway  It's about 4.5" x 5" ish, and I fixed that little patch of white in the orange after I took this picture. I'm going to cut the background back until it's just a half in border, so just imagine it like that :) ( the details and some process pictures ) |

So this is where my head is at .. I've had a great few girly days recently, culminating in one lovely friend saying "You are made of win!" Not only have I had the courage to brave the saturday night train to the Beaumont Cambridge meeting, but I have also met someone new, out of the blue at our games night. With very little prior warning on my part and no prepping on his part, it went off really well I thought. Goodness knows what he thought though. Current Mood: wasted |

Hey, Fayt's back in the Nexus. And he looks pretty serious.
He starts pacing in front of the Sign, rubbing the side of his head in bemused irritation, before finally asking his question.
"...I think I'm in love with my worst enemy. Not only that, my worst enemy is a guy. What am I supposed to do?" |

*sigh*
So Alex just moved in with his girlfriend. They've been going out for 7 or 8 years, it's not really a surprise. But my mother and my oldest sister are clucking nervously at me and saying "Doesn't it make you a little sad?" And I answered both of them, "Well... no. I have trouble feeling any disapproval for it at all. It is very common these days. Victoria and Mike did, and I like Mike a lot. And I really like Margaret. And weddings are big scary things."
I ended up telling Elisabeth that Jeff and I had considered it when Amanda moved away, so I could keep the apartment. I still kind of wish we had, in fact. Living with Papa after living away from home was probably the worst thing that happened to our relationship. I was grumpy and volatile and unhappy and I took it out on Jeff - and he wasn't happy to begin with. He took a bit of it out on me, too. I didn't start to really relax until two months after the breakup when Papa moved to Boston for a year - and my eating improved and I was more patient and though I was unhappy about Jeff I was also calmer.
I can't help thinking that getting away is the best thing Alex could do.

the pathology of hate George Rostov's blog has once again pitched its tent upon Hampsted Heath and is now open for business - at a special discounted rate for octagenarian transexuals.
Consider his blog an experiment....to see how far one man can confront the blackness sheltering in his mind....to watch one fragile, deluded man drive himself to the edge of the abyss...to listen to one drug-addled ex-rentboy scream in anger at everything and everyone....to be disgusted at one cross-dressing alcoholic's self-destructive journey into a twilight world of gay saunas, cruising grounds, toilets, sex cinemas, and an addict's hell of cold turkey.
Consider his blog an aberration....of everything that is decent turning to depravity, of virtue raped and debased, of sanity, love and compassion sacrificed in Rostov's mission to replace God with rage, violence and his own philosophy of murder and vice.

removing fabric paint?
i've got a pair of overalls with fabric paint on that i'd like to take off, but i'm not sure how to go about doing so.
sadly i don't know what the overalls are made of - something synthetic and a little heavy - and i don't know what kind of fabric paint it was, but i do know it's the kind that comes in a little bottle with a teeny nozzle that you use for crafts.
the paint is on pretty thick since it was used for lines and wasn't spread. i'd rather not ruin the colour of the fabric, but i figure i'll probably have to. i'll just paint over the spots if it comes to that, so -- ideas? give me your worst! ;D
thanks! |

I'm going to stop being strictly Constitutional, and starting being more strictly awesome. So, over at Espresso Pundit, we're arguing about "divisiveness", and whether or not denying gays equal rights (in this case, to get married) is "divisive" (hint: it is). "North Valley Republican" makes the usual noise about gays demanding special rights, standing up for Jeebus, and so on, but also tries to convince me he/she's not a homophobe with this bit of hilarity: "The Gay community has consistently separated itself - so, I find it strange that this statement of our beliefs would be considered additional divisiveness."I respond back: "What? How, exactly, has the gay community "consistently separated" itself - as if they haven't constantly been forced underground by the unthinking and bigoted."North Valley Republican: "Separation is not just because others treated gays badly - but, for fear of you calling me bigoted, I will not try to explain all the ways my gay friends separate themselves from me and their other straight friends."To which I'm thinking "So, North Valley Republican's in to full swap, but no bi-action?" Because if so, I REALLY need to change my party registration if the GOP has become some sort of swinger no-holes barred fuck-fest (as long as you're straight - although I imagine some incidental contact is inevitable). Seriously - what other ways do NVR's gay friends seperate themselves from NVR? Are my gay friends separating themselves from me? Is there some sort of magical rainbow wonderland that NVR is not welcome in because NVR's hetero? Incidentally, my ex-wife and her girlfriend are moving to California and getting married. Good for them. In fact, let me say: Mazel Tov! |

I figured out how to share the paper I wrote.... I think... I know some of the transitions are really rough, but I think it works overall... I'll warn those who choose to read that there are some very adult concepts, and a lot of triggers... It should be readable here: http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?u=671926 Current Mood:  shy, cautious, nervous... sick |

How To Tell My Mom I was diagnosed with Asperger's this past March after waiting a year to be seen at my university. I never told my family about my plans and I haven't told them since I got the diagnosis. I never gave telling my family much thought until I came home for the summer. As I learn more about myself and how Asperger's has effected it, the more I've begun to feel isolated. I'm really close with my mom and lately I've been thinking about telling her. I don't like feeling like I have this huge secret I'm hiding. I'm not ashamed of who I am but every time I think about telling her I get really sick to my stomach. I just don't know how to deal with her reaction. She knows I have problems with anxiety and that I take medication for it. Whenever I mention it though she always tells me that I should just go out and exercise more so I work off all my anxious feelings. I don't think she understands how involuntary the anxiety reaction is. I want to tell her but I'm not sure how I'd approach it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Tuesday 4 July 1665 http://www.pepysdiary.com/archive/1665/07/04/ Up, and sat at the office all the morning. At noon to the 'Change and thence to the Dolphin, where a good dinner at the cost of one Mr. Osbaston, who lost a wager to Sir W. Batten, Sir W. Rider, and Sir R. Ford, a good while since and now it is spent. The wager was that ten of our ships should not have a fight with ten of the enemy's before Michaelmas. Here was other very good company, and merry, and at last in come Mr. Buckeworth, a very fine gentleman, and proves to be a Huntingdonshire man. Thence to my office and there all the afternoon till night, and so home to settle some accounts of Tangier and other papers. I hear this day the Duke and Prince Rupert are both come back from sea, and neither of them go back again. The latter I much wonder at, but it seems the towne reports so, and I am very glad of it. This morning I did a good piece of work with Sir W. Warren, ending the business of the lotterys, wherein honestly I think I shall get above 100l.. Bankert, it seems, is come home with the little fleete he hath been abroad with, without doing any thing, so that there is nobody of an enemy at sea. We are in great hopes of meeting with the Dutch East India fleete, which is mighty rich, or with De Ruyter, who is so also. Sir Richard Ford told me this day, at table, a fine account, how the Dutch were like to have been mastered by the present Prince of Orange1 his father to be besieged in Amsterdam, having drawn an army of foot into the towne, and horse near to the towne by night, within three miles of the towne, and they never knew of it; but by chance the Hamburgh post in the night fell among the horse, and heard their design, and knowing the way, it being very dark and rainy, better than they, went from them, and did give notice to the towne before the others could reach the towne, and so were saved. It seems this De Witt and another family, the Beckarts, were among the chief of the familys that were enemys to the Prince, and were afterwards suppressed by the Prince, and continued so till he was, as they say, poysoned; and then they turned all again, as it was, against the young Prince, and have so carried it to this day, it being about 12 and 14 years, and De Witt in the head of them.
- The period alluded to is 1650, when the States-General disbanded part of the forces which the Prince of Orange (William) wished to retain. The prince attempted, but unsuccessfully, to possess himself of Amsterdam. In the same year he died, at the early age of twenty-four; some say of the small-pox; others, with Sir Richard Ford, say of poison. -- B. ↩

Yo, Seattlites! From ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cmpriestStudents in the Clarion West writers’ workshop are not having a particularly joyful Independence Day, I fear. Someone broke into the house where they’re staying (a sorority house in the U-district, I believe) and stole four laptops, some clothes, and possibly some other items; the damage is still being tallied.
Everyone is okay and the house has been secured, but as you might imagine this is a serious blow to participants in the industry’s premiere speculative fiction writing workshop. The students who lost these laptops cannot afford to replace them immediately, but they can’t really continue their workshop experience without them; and if you’re familiar with Clarion, then you know exactly how tough it is to land a spot — and how demanding, intensive, and rewarding it can be.
Therefore, if anyone in the greater Seattle area would be willing to donate a spare laptop to the Clarion folks, then now’s the time to speak up. I believe that monetary donations are also being accepted, but I’m not sure exactly what the plan is on that front. This only happened a few hours ago, and administrators are still scrambling to sort out the details.
If there’s anything you can do to help, please contact:

*silent scream of rage* I'm not even going to try saying 'whhhy?!' because it'll just make me angsty. This is what happened. My mom's birthday is the 4th of July. We had planned to go to my dad's company party for her birthday, since she really likes fireworks. I had said I would go, too. I've been having a hard time in the last week or so, but I never said I did not want to go. When I got up today, I showered, got dressed in patriotic colors, and have been sitting around the house with my shoes on waiting for us to leave to drive to the city. When I commented to my mum that I was surprised she hadn't said anything about my clothes, it came around to her saying "Oh, you still want to go?" Seeing as I had said nothing about not going... I was like, "Yes?", and she went "Well we thought you didn't want to go so me and dad decided to stay home." They had said NOTHING ABOUT THIS TO ME. Ahh! Current Mood:  annoyed |
