You Are 68% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

Hmmm, not bad.

Howdy!!

Just want to take a moment and say thanks for the posts, v-gifts (on LJ) and cards. You guys rock!!!!

I got BLING!!!!

( Wanna see? )

90 years ago today...

Okay, she's not that old.

But she'd kill me if I said how old she was. It's one of those "traumatic ages", don'tcha know. Hee!!

Right then.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY, firehead30!!!!!

( Come inside for the gooshy sentimentalities )

ETA: Me and badbadpixie were coming up with preties for Fire, and what ensued was comment porn. Wanna see?

( Comment porn, this way! )

Good evening, fellow QAF-ers!!!


Remember the first time you saw the series? How you couldn't wait to see what happened next? When you got to the end of the series, then bought the dvd's so that you could watch 107 over and over?

Remember how you watched 107 an episode and thought, "Why didn't I noticed that before?" And how that thing made you feel as if you learned something, something special?

We know just how you feel.

Tomorrow, come with us as we go in the Way Back Machine, back to that magical world of faeries and sprites. Pittsburgh, PA home of the Steelers, yeah! Ummm, I mean, home of the Kinneys and Taylors, Novotnys and Bruckners, Honeycutts, Schmidts, Petersons and Marcuses. Come over to bitchesofbritin as we show you Things We Learned About QAF.

Like this:


When all else fails, return to the basics: Stalking.

Don't forget, tomorrow!!!!

I met callie89 almost two years ago. I was responding to a comment that happier_bunny made about her and asked, "Is this someone I need to know?"

The answer was yes.

We started out commenting back and forth in the various QAF comms, and I began to pilfer a great deal of her icons. After awhile, this crazy, wild, wanton bitch named firehead30 showed up, and we were becoming three.

I asked Callie to marry me, and she said, "Only if we can marry Fire, too."

No problem. Thus, The Bitches were born.

And then a funny thing happened. We found out that Callie was cheating on us. Sort of. She had a badbadpixie stashed away in Sweden! Well, considering how devious Fire and I are, we had a clandestine meeting with Teh Pixie, who agreed to be our Dirty Little Secret. Three became four.

Since then, we've all talked pretty much every day, being naughty, ranty, bitchy and needy. There's always someone there to hold us up.

But it all began with a sweet blonde nurse from the Midwest. One who is a great daughter, loving fiancee (to a FINE Irishman!), and best of all, a beloved friend.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, callie89!!!

Here's hoping that you can take the time to have a wonderful day. We miss you, and you and yours are always in our hearts.

First, let me begin by saying that I am pro-choice. I fully support a woman's right to choose. There are friends that don't agree with me, but we can talk about this issue.

I guess my main argument is simply this: You are not me. You don't know why I've made this choice. It's not your body.

Therefore, the idea that someone who doesn't know me, or what my circumstances are deciding what I can and cannot do with my body irritates the fuck out of me.

Which brings me to this.

Oklahoma forwards Anti-Abortion bill to governor for approval

I can't imagine the soul-searching and soul-wrenching decisions that send a woman to end a pregnancy. To guilt her into keeping it by FORCING her to see it is unconscionable.

Please, Gov. Henry, don't do this. Don't sign this.

ETA: The governor did, in fact, veto this. The state legislature overturned the veto. Unbelievable.

ETA 2: Anyone who even thinks about flaming me for my opinion, know that I will come out swinging. Don't do it.

40 years ago today, I was in a lot of pain. Like, serious pain. The kind of pain that no child should ever have to endure.

I had no idea that millions more would be feeling it later that day.

( Thursday morning, April 4th, shots rang out in the Memphis sky )

A friend would like to wish you many happy returns:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, koshweasley!!

Can I play with him when you're done? :D

*hugs you tight*

But because I love her liek Justin loves Brian's....you know the rest, I'll do it.

Plus, this is one of mmy favorite meme's. I'm amazed at how my list changes every time.

TEN FICTIONAL CHARACTERS I'D HAVE SEX WITH

( My meme is better than Fire's cause mine has PICS!! )

Not tagging anyone, but feel free to play along!

PS--I would have added Brian Kinney to the list, but I'd have to get him WAY drunk and/or stoned to convince him I was a guy. :D

ETA: OMG, can't believe I left these two out!!!

( The reason for part of my user name! )

For my crazy, sexy, cool, beautiful flist, here's hoping your day is as wonderful and prettyful as...well, as this guy:

Looky, a Red man for Red!

Okay, for reals, why wasn't THIS guy waiting for me when I woke up? Is it because I didn't have the white satin sheets on? Dammit!!

Thanks for the v-gifts, ecards and wonderful greetings from everyone!!!

Love you!!!!

For our friends across the pond, in Oz and Hobbiton, and points in between, today is a special day for us.

For 22 states, including California, it's Super Tuesday!!!

How that came to coincide with Mardi Gras is anyone's guess. lol

Now, I need you to listen very carefully.

Go. Vote. Now.

Of all of the many things we are asked to do, this is the single most important one. This is how we decide on our future, and, for some of us, the future of our children.

I am an African-American woman, married to a Caucasion man, with two bi-racial daughters, one of whom is a lesbian. How many statistical polls did I just crash?

As such, I want the future to be as bright and accepting of them as I can possibly make it. How do I do that? By following the advice of Nelson Mandela: One man, one vote. Change that to woman, and there you have it. By stating my preference, I have done my service to my country.

I'm not always crazy about the people who run it, but, having been to other countries, I'll take this one. It's my home, where I was born. I want it to be the best that it can be, and I want the eyes of the world to see us for what we really are: people, trying to do the best that we can. They don't see us that way right now. But they will, again.

From the far north, my darling badbadpixie had this to say:

The responsibility part fits for what ever country you live in - but more so for Americans I think since the power your vote has over the rest of the world is very tangible.

I always stress the responsibility of it too. I mean - as long as there are people out there in the world dying to have a chance to vote, how can we in democratic societies throw that away?

To me the act of voting is actually more important than what you vote for. I have thought long and hard about this, and if the choice was for people that didn't have the same values I had was to stay at home come election I wouldn't feel ok with that. I guess it's my innate belief that people for the most part are good, and that the rotten eggs are very few. Too bad that the rotten eggs seems to come out en masse come election... :P

We live in democracies - let's cherish that and step up to the plate when it's asked of us.

The coutry of Sweden has spoken. And I couldn't agree with her more.

So, in honor of today, I have some goodies that callie89 and Pixie gave me. The first is a pic that says it all, from my viewpoint. Pay close attention to the t-shirt.

YOU TELL 'EM, DEB!

And special goodies under the cut!!

( Come see what Pixie made! )

It's gonna be one cool ass party this weekend!!

Yeah, I know it's Thursday, but who cares? Tomorow is Friday, and it's a three-day weekend!!!

I WOULD KILL FOR THIS SHIRT!!!!

I have seen some shit online in my time.

I and others I know have had stories stolen or plagarized in the past.

But when you steal a dead woman's journal and entries, and try to pass it off as your own, you need your ass kicked.

Thamiris' journal plagarized

One of the very first fanfiction stories I was ever rec'd was the beautiful and amazing When A Strawberry Is Pushed Into A Mountain. Thamiris, this is NOT how we wanted to remember you.

Fuck.

I've been meaning to post this for a few days, but shit happens, right?

So much happened this year, good, bad and horrific. I needed a bit to assimilate it all.
