Thanks to the law in California that requires only a 50% majority to CHANGE THE STATE CONSTITUTION, there is a very real chance Proposition 8 could pass.
This measure amends the California Constitution to specify that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. as a result, notwithstanding the California Supreme Court ruling of May 2008, marriage would be limited to individuals of the opposite sex, and individuals of the same sex would not have the right to marry in California.
I cannot stress enough how much this would set back the gay and civil rights movements. The conservative right has plans in place to come back to California if they win here and work to get anti-hate crime and anti-bullying/safe-schools statutes removed next. They have deep coffers and no issue with using lies and fear tactics to get their way and to codify hatred.
Even if marriage isn't for you, and this isn't the fight you think we should be fighting, I am still asking you to help. Because this is the fight they've presented us with. And losing means losing a hell of a lot more than a couple of gold bands and the right to say "I do". |

funny.
despite problems of our own on each side, having to deal with and work with all of them, small to large, why is it that we're still so happy together after this many months? how come it only keeps getting better?
oh yeah. i forgot. it helps when the other person isn't a self-centred git of a lying, hypocritical imbecile with the emotional capacity of a teaspoon. (apologies to Hermione for totally nicking that last bit) like so many of my past have been. (like so many, too, have not)
i should be sleeping now, but i'm not. i can't (even though i tried). last night kicked my ass pretty bad. but hey. i'm still here. as fucked up as things are, i think about this time last year, the year before, and the year before, and i am blown away by how much better it all is. even when it's hell.
so, thank you A., for being there, even when i won't let you be, or don't know how to let you be. can't wait to see you in November (will be the best one yet, no?)

I'm sorry this isn't the fic that I was promising earlier to a_phoenixdragon. I'm still working on it, Mandy! Sam is just easier for me to write. ;) This is dedicated to maichan808 for the lovely fanvid present she made me a couple of weeks ago.
Spoilers: I'm not sure if I should warn for spoilers or not. So, just to be safe, this is speculation inspired by 4.04. MY GOD WHAT AN EPISODE TONIGHT. I have a review, probably a full-on picspammy version, but first THIS. The title is both true and a play on words. You'll see what I mean.

Timeline: Coda to No Rest for the Wicked (3.16).

soooo. apparently i sort of tripped over a rock and fell and slammed my face into the Dean/Castiel bandwagon, which is kind of freaking me out.
*eyedart*
the sane part of my brainmeats went 'wtf, a) he's an angel, and b) he's kind of possessing someone atm so, uhh. what?' and then it worked around that. really cleverly. it kind of scares me.
when it comes to a) i dug around deep into the recesses of the meatiness and remembered the Grigori. the group of angels that got it on with mortals and ended up creating the nephilim (which was, y'know, a Bad Thing, but still). after they fell, a few of them became corrupted (ie: Azazel!) and are sort of responsible for teaching humankind secret things like how to make weapons to kill each other with.
when it comes to b) my brain was far more clever. but i'm saving that for fic.
which brings me to the beta bit. raise your hand if your willing. >>
it's not terribly long, and it should be ready sometime tomorrow/friday at the latest, so i can hit my drabbles over the weekend. |

Karlton: Well, I do have to point out that it wouldn't be the first time that a man's walked by me and been unable to control himself.
Me: ...Can I get an example or two here?
Karlton: Charlemagne.
Me: OH RIGHT, I forgot about that. Also, ALEXANDER.
Karlton: Check!
Me: the Great. Alexander the Great. That part's important.
Karlton: Oh, no. To me, he'll always be Alexander the Fabulous.
There was really no context to this, other than that some guy checked Karlton out after creative writing. We do not have an inside joke about Charlemagne or Alexander. I do not understand how his brain works. I do not understand his dead-panning abilities. This was twenty minutes ago and my ribs still hurt from laughing so hard. |

I can think of no better way to present this information than a timeline.
( i did not realize how long this beast was )
Wednesday, October 8: Today. Today is the day that I regain control over my life. Today is the day that I stop answering the phone when Max calls. Today is the day that he becomes intimately acquainted with my voicemail, if he bothers to call at all anymore. Today is the day that I do not make the effort to smile at Julie when she passes because she is fucking everywhere. Today is the day that I stop living on Ensure shakes and start eating real food. Today is the day that I open myself up to loving new things and new people, and today is the day that I realize that a past love does not obligate you to a present hurt. Today is the day that I realize that Max is doing this because he is hurting, because he does not know how to live without me, but this does NOT obligate me to help or forgive; today is the day that I realize that although someday we will be friends, we will probably never be best friends, because best friends don't treat each other this way. Today is the day that I forgive him and today is the day that forgiveness is not a promise and it is not an implication of a new life together. Today is the beginning of a new life by myself. I am excited. |
