9 years ago today I said goodbye to my best friend forever. I still haven't been able to part with her dog beds. Rest in Peace, my beautiful lovely, frantic fox dog. I'll see you again one day.

Ugh. It's awful to generalize, but everything I've seen of the hardcore US Gymnastics fandom is really awful. Most of the sites I've come across are just brimming with pressed, bitter, xenophobic and racist jackasses..I'm probably gonna risk my first warning/banning in years by responding to the morons in the TWOP Gymnastics thread but I don't even ( Read more... )

I've got like 3 cover letters to write, but instead I'm too busy following The Vampire Diaries fandom meltdown re: Julie Plec, Matt Davis (who can now kindly GTFO) and the fans w/ common sense vs. the blindly loyal stans. Oh, TVD.

Reading all the reactions to last night's limp, no-sense episode, I doubt the writers will ever improve anything, sadly. "Oh, just turn your brain off!"

The Walking Dead  hasn't really lived up it its hype, and the love triangle is awful, but it's my first foray into ( Read more... )

So I think I might just have talked my way into an internship. A paying one, at that.

Huh.

LOL.  A while back I stumbled across a story that had obviously been plagiarized from a fanfic written years before from another fandom. Like, she just grabbed passages and chapter titles verbatim, only changing the names of characters. I left her a message essentially saying "This story is plagiarized, shame on you."

Flash forward. So apparently ( Read more... )

Was just walking up the driveway and came across two squirrels fighting viciously. One fell down and didn't get up. He let out some pitiful squeaks, but fell silent when I approached. I thought his legs were broken so I ran inside to call Animal Control. Every Emergency Animal/Wildlife control service went to effing voicemail, and the Humane ( Read more... )

Austin is wearing the requsite non-ranger white, even behind the scenes. :) And years later he still shouts "Tyrannosaurus!" the same as he did in MMPR.
