I've done this a couple times before, and I don't know what inspired me to do it again - but I know I've been not having the best time lately, and I know a lot of my F-List hasn't been at entirely their best, so it can't hurt.

Rant, vent, whine. Tell me something that's been bothering you, but that you think nobody wants to hear about. Tell me something that you've talked about so many times that your friends are all trying to get you to stfu and get over it.

Tell me the most amazing thing in the world, that you've refrained from talking about because you don't want to brag. Tell me something good that happened, that you try to ignore because you feel bad about being happy.

Tell me a secret, tell me a story. Anonymous or signed - it doesn't matter (I'm opening anon posting for this one).

Get it off your chest - whatever it is. And maybe you'll feel better.

I was looking through all my past public entries for some reason, and I saw this one, and I thought I'd try it again just because ranting/venting is ubercool. Anonny-posting is enabled, this is a public entry, so go ahead and rant, vent, complain, emo your heart out into a comment, anonymously if it makes you feel better. ^_^

Well, you might as well find out now (if you haven't already) that I have no life. As such, a friend and I wrote a Harry Potter Declaration of Independence that more or less follows the set-up of the one for the United States.

Because it pwns so bad, I'm public-posting it. Woot!

[info]slytherin_heart
Alright, so yesterday was a very awesome day. I spent about 5 hours at a bookstore, which rocked hardcore. Whilst at the bookstore, I was attacked by a plot bunny. Well, not so much an actual plot bunny as a... idk. A title bunny, I suppose. So anyway, I put it down in my cell phone under my to-do list, cos I didn't have paper with me for some reason, which made me mad.

And then today I was bored beyond reason, and I started writing it. I'm planning on making it full-length, with a plot and stuff (I know, shocking), and so I thought that maybe you would want to check it out and tell me how much it sucks (or doesn't suck, if you prefer).

Grr... C'mon. Is it really that horrible to have to have a merged thread with another ship which your ship agreed to for 10 little pages? Yes, it can be a bit of a bother - since we merged for this thread, I don't recognize most of who's posting, and the ship's sailing far faster than I'm comfortable with, and I'm not even reading most of the posts - but still. It's a good exercise in inter-ship unity, dammit.

Heaven knows (not to mention the mods at SCUSA) that SCUSA is quickly becoming some sort of a battlefield or something. It seems like since the publication of Half-Blood Prince, everybody's at each other's throats. L&L has put forth an active effort more than once to spread some inter-ship unity, to keep friendly relations with the rest of SCUSA, because it's frankly too tiring to be at war with someone all the time. So we occasionally do inter-ship unity stints, on ships smaller than us, and on ships we're not generally on the best of terms with. And now we take it all a step further, doing an entirely merged thread with GnH. And no, I'm not saying that it was entirely L&L who arranged it. GnH deserves half the credit for this.

However, most if not all of the offensiveness on that thread is coming from GnH, specifically GnH oldbies who are behaving exclusively, stuck-up, and childishly. For the first... what was it, 6 and a half pages... everything was fine. If someone had a problem with Leather and Handcuffs, they either dealt with it or just didn't post there. But now all these people are appearing out of nowhere, dissing our ship and basically destroying the unity behind it.

I think I'm going to have to see if I can get another unity thing together with L&L after this is done with, just to make us feel better about it all, so we don't become SCUSA hermits or something...

So... yes, that one. I feel like updating my LJ, but I don't quite know what to write...

Ooh! I finished chapter one on my (sad attempt at a) novel-length fic! No, I'm sorry, it's not D/Hr, it's TR/HG, but you should all read it anyways! It's right here ). What do you think?

One more thing... someone from L&L needs to post on the CJ! I have 3 cookies to post, but I refuse to post 3x in a row!

The One Month is Over and I'm Not Admitting Anything... Yet
my icon
[info]slytherin_heart
In other news, the one-month waiting period I assigned myself after my last breakup has ended. For that month, I was too busy hurting myself to start liking anyone else. And I desperately hope that the feeling in the pit of my stomach is from some kind of illness, not what I know it really is. Because I’m finally getting to the question at hand, the thing I won’t admit even to myself. I’m going to rationalize myself out of this, though, before it gets out of hand. If all else fails, I’ll just ask for a proper rejection without telling him why.
Before I start rationalizing and denying it, though, I have to admit to the feelings I’ve been trying my very, very hardest to ignore. Because it’s so preposterous, not even I would believe it. I believe that I am, in fact, developing non-platonic feelings for Jacob. The fact that I didn’t want to write that almost proves that it is true. So let me rationalize if I can the reasons why it’s impossible and improbable, along with the reasons I feel this way.
I believe that the reason I’m beginning to develop these feelings is mainly that he understands me, to some degree at least. He’s read my poetry, and no one reads my poetry, no one I know, at least. More than that, he read it, he understood it, and he helped me with my problems. With very few people have I had such a long, in-depth conversation about my issues. And very few such conversations have actually made me feel better. I doubt any have made me feel as good as the one I had with Jacob, because he didn’t judge me, he didn’t lie, he just gave me his honest opinion and advice. He complimented me, but I didn’t take it as one of those “you’re just saying that to make me feel better” things, because he was being honest. He told me that I’m smart enough to not kill myself, basically. And, though I’ve told myself and others that many times, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else say it for me, let alone to me. His honesty is refreshing.
Secondly, he can make me laugh like few other people can. Just opening up the screen of the IM made me laugh hysterically, and he understood that. I told him that, and he changed his screen name to “FEAR THE POTATO!!!” just because it made me laugh. Not to mention the fact that he gave out potatoes as valentines this year. Something I doubt I’ll ever forget…
And he’s not conceited. In fact, he might be seen as having something of an inferiority complex. At least, he knows what other people think of him, and he doesn’t give a damn. Too many people are concerned with what people think, even to the point of trying to make themselves less-liked, just to be less-liked, which is pointless. He realizes that his choices and opinions aren’t popular ones, he knows that people don’t like him all that much, and he admits it. He said, basically, that he was the person you talk to because there’s nobody else around. Not true in my opinion, but he was being honest, if exaggerating.
It wouldn’t work for several reasons. For one, he’s moving to Alaska at the end of the year, so even if we did fall madly in love, I wouldn’t see him after a few months. Also, he said himself that he’s single, and hopes to stay that way until long after he enlists in the Army. He’s not into girls all that much, though I’m almost positive he’s straight.
I feel better now, and the feeling in my stomach has dissipated at least, if it’s not completely gone. I think that if I talk to him online later tonight, I’ll ask him to reassure me that there’s no chance of him suddenly falling madly in love with me, because that tends to be a habit in most of the guys I can talk to easily.
