That was the third one. The first one was: "I was looking for a Sarah, and then I found a Sarah
and heaven knows I'm miserable now." I appreciate the Smiths reference, but that doesn't make me feel very good about myself, stupid song quiz thingy!

| Fics: Entrance Exam, Souvenir, Room Party (all 1/1) |
[14 Dec 2009|10:41pm] |
Right, so! Two weeks ago (argh argh time passing I am a flake argh), for my birthday, I took prompts for Heart-Pounding Excitement at Mononoke Girls' Academy fics. I only got the two, and they were kinda similar, but I ended up getting three ideas, so I can work with that \o/;;;
Anyhow, Lililicious just put up the next chapter (♥!), so I decided it was about time to get off my lazy butt and finish writing ¦3b
Standard disclaimers apply, etc.
For ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mizuno_youko: something about Kiri's backstory, like her first kiss/romance or her first day at the academy
( Entrance Exam )
For ![[personal profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) inarticulate: Kiri (or anyone in the class, really, or combos) before Arare's arrival
( Souvenir )
( Room Party )
Hope you like ^_^

Kitty Cat Dance |
] |
Been hanging out inside since I got back from Portland, due to the frigid temperatures and being flat broke. Portland was amazing!!!!! Living there will be awesome! Right now I just need to survive the winter, which will be made much easier starting in January. Why, you ask? Because I have a nannying job for my big sister Holly's new baby girl Alita! I'll be working every Tuesday and Thursday from about 7AM to 5PM for $60 a day. I'm SOOOOOO happy! The job ends around May or so.
On a side note, I also bathed all of my cats with kitty shampoo, so now they are clean, and fluffy, and disgruntled.

| The continual re-defining of self |

First part of the post is going to get introspective and rambly, so I'm cutting it for those who would rather skip that sort of thing.
It also goes a bit into my bad afternoon, and an aspect of myself I'm finally claiming. If it makes you uncomfortable, I can't say I blame you; it's something I've been working on myself, more fervently so over the past year-and-a-half-ish. If you do decide to read it, I can only hope I come across as positively as I wish to.
( Owning my disability )
I've got other stuff to do in relation to this, including figuring out a good response to "[Try to] stop worrying about it"*, and working out more strategies to deal with it**. But that can wait until tomorrow, at least. Tonight, I can spend the time getting back to healthy***.
* "Tell a fish to stop swimming," maybe? "Would you ask a paraplegic person to walk?" perhaps? Hmm.
** Time to face facts! The anxiety is never going away for good. I can better control it with medication and coping strategies (deep breathing and such), but that "Imagine a day without fear" that my therapist once suggested is an inconvenient fantasy: a nice idea, but trying to get there will likely only circumvent any progress I could make on actually dealing with my anxiety and panic attacks in the first place.
*** Here not meaning magically un-disabled, but getting back to a place where I can actually work with my disability again.

Stuff!
1) Have been watching Supernatural. Am quite enjoying it so far, but Dean's bouts of misogyny bug the shit outta me. I find myself wanting to step through the screen and give him a point-by-point lecture on feminism and not treating women as objects/lesser beings more frequently than I would like =_=a Is this part/most of the reported racism/sexism thing the show has going on that I'm noticing, or is there way more to it?
2) This is an absolutely adorable photo set.
3) Camera users! (I'm looking at you, ytak!) Kodak is made of win and super-awesome. Also, it is -so- beautiful to see the "I'm sorry you're offended" non-apology used in our favor for once, instead of as a way to shut us up. Go read it for that, if nothing else.
That's all for now :3b Mononoke Girls' Academy fics up tomorrow, hopefully.

| Snow |
[08 Dec 2009|06:09pm] |
Here's the snow-related happenings thus far:
School this morning: Neither canceled nor delayed.
Snow: Present and falling. Lets up slightly (at least in my area) basically right after I've dropped the last kid off.
School this afternoon: Out two hours early. Which means I only spent two hours at home between morning and afternoon routes. Yay.
Snow: Started up again pretty much right when I was getting on the road. Changed to stinging bits when I got back to the lot, then back to fluffy.
Apartment driveway: Still steep. Still unplowed/unsanded. Went out and salted some myself yesterday evening and this morning. Had to re-salt this afternoon to make it to the top of the driveway. Had to stop several times and re-try, and had to stop and re-apply accelerator twice on successful try in order to avoid crashing into one of the cars that is parked in the driveway. No collisions.
Now: [City where Socchan lives] has declared a SNOW EMERGENCY, ZOMG! [Schools of aforementioned city] have canceled after-school activities. For today. No word on school tomorrow.
Me: Wait, let me get this straight. We've declared a snow emergency. We closed school early today in order to avoid horrible traffic happenings. Our entire region and our state in particular are making national news because of how much snow we're supposed to get. And you don't want to commit to saying we're canceling school tomorrow just yet?!
SIGH.
If you need me, I believe I will be checking the local news, to see if they have anything to say about school cancellations. Also, why does "canceled" have only one L, but "cancellations" have two? This is not of the sense-making!
