This journal is mostly dead. Everything is locked except for fic. If I missed a story, let me know and I will unlock it.
If you are looking for any of my fic you will find them here.
To victory, it feels unfamiliar but it tastes like chicken. |

Dear Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
I hate you. A lot.
No love,
Me
Okay, my weekend so far:
Friday night, I fell asleep at around 8 and then slept until 11 on Saturday. And then was up for about two hours, and then slept for 6 more hours. And then was up for another 2 hours, and then slept until this morning. I could sleep all day today, but I have about 12 hours of work to do, so that is not happening :(
This sucks. And this is generally how my weekends are. And what is getting scary is that the medicine I take to stay away during the week doesn't seem to be working as well anymore.
I did start watching Avatar: The Last Airbender in the few hours I was awake yesterday and it is pretty adorable. |

Two things:
1. While watching last night's episode of Community I seriously thought: "Hey! this is just like that episode of Red Dwarf!" That is not something I ever thought I would think while watching a sit-com on NBC. Also, the scene in the mental hospital was amazing. I think I actually liked this fake clip show better than last year's.
And Community was renewed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! Only for 13 episodes, but I have a feeling it will end up getting a full season though I am very curious to see if Chevy Chase comes back next year.
2. I HAVE AN AVENGERS PROBLEM! Seriously. I really so ship everyone/everyone else. And I love Tony/Bruce, but I also love Tony/Steve, and Tony/Pepper is fun too, and it's not just Tony I pair with everyone because I feel like Clint goes well with everyone too, and Steve clearly needs lots of sex from the entire team, and yeah. And though I bounce around fandoms, usually I pretty OTP about a pairing in that fandom, but not this time. Everyone needs to be dating everyone else and being adorable with each other and having lots of sex and blowing shit up together and bonding. THIS IS ALL VERY CONFUSING TO ME! |

I've been meaning to post this for a while:
I know that people are always looking for good charities to donate to and I wanted to mention this.
As a lot of you know, I work as a social worker/student services manager at a non-profit that provides job training and GEDs for low income, at risk youth. One of my jobs is to help them obtain emergency financial assistance when needed. These sorts of emergencies are usually things like being endanger of becoming homeless, power being shut off, medical related emergencies etc.
There are very, very few places in which it is possible to secure funds quickly. I am very fortunate that my organization has a really good relationship with a church that has funds specifically set aside for us for these sorts of cases. This makes my job a little easier and makes a huge, immediate different in people's lives.
Anyway, a lot of communities have organizations like this for providing emergency funds. I would urge anyone with money to donate to try to find one in your community. I will help you find one in your community if you are interested.
I can't stress enough how much of a difference having access to emergency funds makes in my student's lives.
The other huge problem is securing money to pay for abortions. A lot of the organizations that give money are religiously based, so won't give any assistance. And other organizations are scared of providing funding for abortions because they are concerned about turning away donors.
Local groups will get together to provide financial assistance to women in need of abortions. You can find a local one (U.S. only) here: http://fundabortionnow.org/get-help. All of these groups are massively underfunded and understaffed and would be a great place to donate money or volunteer.
And seriously, if you need help finding a local emergency fund to donate to, I will help you! These organizations are amazing and need support. |

| While I am feeling chatty... |
[May. 8th, 2012|07:51 am] |
Since I am feeling so chatty due to Avengers and hockey and other ridiculous, yet awesome fandom things, I feel like giving a life update while I'm at it.
1. Fatigue is sucking and the medicine is starting to help less and less.
2. Back still hurts, but is getting better, I think.
3. Job is insane, but I do still mostly love it. I definitely have a bit of compassion fatigue, but my compassion fatigue doesn't get directed at people I work with, it gets directed at people in my life. So I'm still able to do my job, I just become kind of bitchy in my personal life.
4. I am gradually accepting the fact that if I want to stay at this job, I might have to move from the city into the suburbs. This makes me sad, but I can't keep doing this commute.
5. One thing that I already believed, but I find myself believing more and more is that we need to get rid of quantitative measure of intelligence because they are bullshit. Pretty much all of the students in my program score in the low average to borderline measures of intelligence on standard scales and so many of them have internalized the idea that they are stupid. And it's just not true and makes me angry. Qualitative measures of intelligence can be helpful because they show ways in which people learn best, but the number values are meaningless. |

| Avengers crack |
[May. 7th, 2012|11:58 pm] |
Okay, here is where my brain has ended up in terms of Avengers fic ideas.
I want an Avengers/The Unusuals crossover where the 2nd precinct gets assigned to deal with all superhero related shit in NYC and everyone thinks there are some deep dark secret reasons why Clint and Jason look exactly like, but really it's just a random coincidence and the two of them like pinky swear to never tell and have lots of fun fucking with everyone about it. Also, Loki adopts the 2nd precinct because clearly they are his people ("I would throw an old lady off a roof for you" remains one of my favorite declarations of love ever). |

In mind blowing avengers news of this second, Jeremy Renner was Penn in that one episode on the 1st season of Angel. I'm not sure why I find that fact so hilarious, but I do. Like Angel's embarrassing child that he didn't want anyone to know about was fucking Jeremy Renner. God, you suck, Angel.
Also, I can't stop watching Avengers cast interviews. I think I have problem.
( OH MY GOD, wee baby Jeremy as a ridiculous vampire: ) |

Oh. My. God.
It was apparently Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, and Benedict Cumberbatch in a fucking Hooters with some of the stunt guys from Star Trek.
God damn it, Star Trek RPS. Don't be greedy. You are supposed to be for next year. It is Avengers time now. |
