So Much Going On!
What a kerfuffle with the journals being suspended and the mad panics about interests and locking down journals.
I get it, I'm royally pissed about it, too. But I didn't feel the need to rush off and change anything because I have pretty vanilla tastes in the grand scheme of things. Plus I haven't gotten around to listing all of my interests. For once, it's maybe a good thing that I procrastinate. Although I doubt I'd have any red flag type words in there anyway.
Also? If they were going to boot me off, I don't want to be here. Sounds childish, I know, but that's the way I am. If I've done no wrong and still get treated as if I have, then that's not a place I want to be.
Does that mean I don't want to be here because they did it to others? No. They fucked up. We all fuck up sometimes, it's a human thing and the issues involved make people more reactive. If it were to happen again, I'd seriously consider it.
I may check out a couple of other places as well, especially if my favourite writers go away.
My only question on the whole sorry affair is this. Do they really expect the people who do these things to make it obvious? The whole concept is extremely squicky to me and I don't want to dwell on it, but seriously? Do those sort of people get out and proudly tell the whole world what they do?
Unless you're going to read each and every journal thoroughly, you can't go about suspending them willy nilly on the suspicion. Innocent until proven guilty. I hear that's supposed to mean something...
It seems I must make an apology of my own. I read this about why Chelly didn't shake hands.
I can see how that would happen. So, yeah. Sorry Chelly. I'm still sad about it, but I don't hate you. You can go back on my jersey list, even. Only you have to start back at the bottom, just in case you break my heart again. Forgiveness is a slow process for me, even when I'm wrong.
The Ducks are making me happy. Like happy happy! \O/ That kind of happy. I hope it lasts.
I actually got to watch the second game LIVE! Like while it was happening. I was really happy to tape it and watch it when I got home from work, but then there was the small issue of waking up unable to bear weight on my left leg. (That's what I get for pulling trees out of the ground without stretching and warming up apparently. My chiropractor did rescue me and he gave me a whole sheet of stretches I must do every day now. I will be bendy woman in no time.)
So. I was home in pain when it came on and I watched it. Lots more ads, but I kept going "Wow! They're actually doing this right now!" It gave me a warm fuzzy to think that I for once I wasn't cheering and shouting about something that happened hours or even days ago.
But by far the best bit? Even better than the intermission interviews I never get to see? I didn't have to worry about spoilers.
The game itself was pretty damn fine. Even though there was no score till late in the third period, I wasn't worried. The Ducks were all over the Senators in exactly the way that made me love them to start with. None of that stupid penalty stuff I was getting insanely annoyed about. Just good, solid, fast hockey.
I have an intense dislike for Ray Emery, but he played a brilliant game. If not for him, it would have been 7-0 instead of 1-0. And the Senators are going to try harder to lure the Ducks into the penalty box next time, for sure. They banged Corey Perry up pretty bad and draped themselves all over Teemu Selanne like a bad toga. Since that didn't do any good, I think they'll get chippier and try to get more power plays next game. Their special teams are going to be their saving grace in this series. They have no hope with the 5 on 5.
5 More sleeps until I see my Frog again!!! It would be 6, only the last night I'll be on a plane and therefore definitely not sleeping.
ETA: I've been looking around and I've gone and gotten a GreatestJournal and an InsaneJournal just because I don't want to miss out on having my own name if I need to follow the good fic around. Also, like the Chelly thing, I'm slow to forgive. It's a wait and see.
