Banning divorce promotes Prop 8

"Since California has decided to protect traditional marriage, I think it would be hypocritical of us not to sacrifice some of our own rights to protect traditional marriage even more," the 38-year-old married father of two said.

I'm still unclear if this guy is serious or not. I think I know and then I keep reading and am not sure so much. I read it three times - maybe I am just missing something. Regardless of his intentions, it makes a brilliant point. More power to him.

Demi Moore has no problem with being the "older woman" in her May-December romance with 31-year-old hubby Ashton Kutcher.

"I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl," she says in the December issue of W. "I don't know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, 'There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?' "

The couple, who wed in 2005, first met six and a half years ago. "The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time you've had to actually be with one another," she shares. "Now we've had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible."

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Are you going to wear coordinating costumes with a friend or partner? Did you buy something pre-fab or make it yourself?

Found this while randomly looking through someones journal on LJ.  I have said this type of thing for a while now, and I wish I had said it this quickly - I tend to be longwinded.

So touching up (read: completely altering) was bad enough, but the explanation and justification was so awful that I decided to discontinue buying the magazine.  I can't possibly trust someone who thinks this way.

NaNoWriMo

  • Oct. 4th, 2009 at 11:38 PM
writing writing is my art

So my manager might kill me for this, but I am gonna do it anyway.  The manuscript for Timeshift is completed.  It is in editing phase now, but until time for the 2nd in the series it is done for now.  Keepers is still very fresh and new and only on chapter.. 4 I think. 

 

But I wanna do this NaNoWriMo very much.  Ever since I learned about it 2 or 3 years ago I have been thinking I would do it – but never have.  Well, it is time.  I am going for it. 

 

For those who don’t know about NaNoWriMo, it is National Novel Writers Month.  In November you are taken to task of writing 50K words on a novel.  A new novel.  Not anything that comes with a started manuscript already.  The goal is not quality, but free abandon.  You should bang away with an open mind that is open to anything.  Some of it will be crap, but some of it won’t.  Regardless of the crap, it is a good idea.  I know from my writing that most of the time you end up with stuff you toss anyhow so what’s the diff?

 

I am hoping to really let my mind flow. 

 

I might run with the Keepers idea but do a different time frame, different characters – something that I am not attached to.  I really wanna dive into the Keepers worlds, so I might just go that route.  Outlines are allowed, even encouraged.. so I don’t think I am breaking any rules at all. 

 

If you wanna learn more, you can go here:  http://www.nanowrimo.org/

 

Wish me luck! Luck on the writing, and luck with my manager! 

Here are the last decades stats, looks like less than 20% usually finish with the 50K.. but I sure wanna try!
 

1999: 21 participants and six finished with 50K or more
2000: 140 participants and 29 finished with 50K or more
2001: 5,000 participants and more than 700 finished with 50K or more
2002: 13,500 participants and around 2,100 finished with 50K or more
2003: 25,500 participants and about 3,500 finished with 50K or more
2004: 42,000 participants and just shy of 6,000 finished with 50K or more
2005: 59,000 participants and 9,769 finished with 50K or more
2006: 79,000 participants and 13,000 finished with 50K or more
2007: 101,510 participants and 15,333 finished with 50K or more
2008: 119,301participants and 21,683 finished with 50K or more
 

Charmed Piper thumbs up
So he is running for Student Council.  We spent all weekend making up posters and working on his speech. 

Last week he started on safety patrol.

He is also in the chorus and the band. 

He still has straight A's.

I told him as long as his grades do not drop between A's and B's then it is fine but the first time I see a C, something has to give. 

I did tell him no on Football.  I hated to but honestly I had to take a stand somewhere.  

I never thought I would be the mom of a kid this together.  It makes me super proud and honored.  

YAY Daxy!

Martian Death Flu

ST Bones I'm a __ (The Movie)
Okay so maybe I don't have it that bad - I have suffered through the Martian Death Flu before, so I know this is only a mild case.  See, I really don't get sick a lot and when I do it puts me on my ass.  I am still standing - this means I either A) have a lesser strain of the MDF or B) I have grown more resistant to its evil. 

So I take daytime meds in the day, and nightime at night.  Not rocket science, right? 

Because of this I have been to bed earlier than normal for like a week or so now.  I hate that.  There is so much I need to catch up on, like the latest Dragon*con posts of my friends, some pics I haven't seen, talking about my sons birthday prty, etc etc etc.

Oh well, I will catch up soon enough. 


I need Bones.  He could heal me.

Me at Dragon*con Yule Ball 09


This week started off with a bang. It was welcome back at my college. We had so many new students (enrollment is up 10%) and so many returning students. It was great. Exhausting, but great.

We set up a tent outside the library and gave candy and soda and maps and calandars and info and stuff like that. I took some pics but they are nothing to write home about.

However, I also took some pics of the Butterfly Garden (now dubbed the Butterfly Forest because it has grown way more than expected). The pic is pretty epic. It was sort of like the butterflies lned up and said "look at us!"


Two butterflies posed for me today.  WOO! on Twitpic 


Also, I got Dissidia the day it came out (Tuesday).  I had it on reserve for months now so I was more than excited to get it.  I have played that day and yesterday - I must say, it is win.  Seriously.  Wow.

How do you react when you get nervous in social situations?


View 550 Answers

I tend to talk too much, or laugh when I shouldn't.  I don't really get nervous often, but when I do - that's how I usually handle it..




P.S. a week til Dragon*con!  OMG!! YAY!

stupid mask do-over..

  • Aug. 16th, 2009 at 10:51 AM
Lost Faraday oh crap!
So after a week of sanding the mask to get it just right for painting - I paint it.  YAY!

I did it on the grass so that I wouldn't smell up the whole house with paint fumes.  It was a beautiful day.  Sun was shining..

I go inside to wait the almost hour I am supposed to wait between coats.

I go back outside... guess what.. it was sprinkling.  Yep.  Just enough to put drops on my mask - drops that stayed!  So now I have a mask that looks like it has rain pimples.  FAIL!


I am in the process of sanding off the paint and rain so I can repaint.  I am so pissed.
