Wow, so I have been SO GONE lately. It's...a long set of stories, to be honest. To sum up: Ed's family is fucked up. Mentally and physically. Some hospital-visiting and some courtroom-happenings, all in Minnesota.

Lot of court time due to our 'extra' children. We had to become actual foster parents because one of our extras technically lives ( Read more... )

On the reading front!

For your reading pleasure, both shoneenclub and je_fqfest are posting right now! RIGHT THIS SECOND THERE IS FIC. You should go and read it! (Also: ninoexchange and je_otherworlds have posted/revealed! There is some AMAZING FIC offered there.) Take time to tell an author or two that you liked what you read--a line or two or even just 'I liked this!' can mean a lot to ( Read more... )

Today is Erin's Arashi-anniversary! I wrote a short thing to celebrate because this is important. It IS. I think we should celebrate the things that make us happy. I think it's awesome that she remembers it. ♥

Now, before I get to the fanfic, I want to talk about NON fanfic. starsystems mentioned in her journal that we (as in 'we the people') should do ( Read more... )

For the_suit_case. She knows why.

( I swear Kpop fic is a side job. )

For those of you who have listened to me bitch and cry about FQFest, thank you. I made it. I lived through it. If I ever again get the urge to scrap the entire story, stay up for two days straight, and write thirty pages in thirteen hours I hope that you will kill me and save yourselves ( Read more... )

Had some seriously high winds up here on Wednesday, into Thursday. Were without power for a day. Trees down all over. One on car! (Thankfully, it didn't hit Ed's, which was right next to it). The kids took the pictures to school but as their friend Andrew had a tree IN HIS ROOM, they did not win the unofficial 'my damage is cooler than your ( Read more... )

So Ed took the kids to see KungFu Panda 2 yesterday. Today Faith and Allie (nearly 16 and 13) were telling me about it.

Faith: Baby Po was in the raddishes! His mom died!

Allie: And then there was a baby noise and I didn't know what to do so I panicked and then I cried!

Faith: I just cried because it was sad.

My children, everybody.

THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH FANDOM OHMIYA.

The post, the replies. This is part of why I never go to that comm any more.

(The other part is the fic. Oh. My. God.)

I meant to lock comments on the last entry, but thank you, everybody. I just needed to vent about that and it means a lot to me that all of you understand. Today has been a bit of a wringer dealing with Ed's emotional fallout from that ( Read more... )
