My application on Hogwarts_Elite got squibbed. I know it's not really important, but for some reason I feel really sad about it anyway. It's sort of like the clubs that kids would form in elementary school. You know the fate of the world does not rest on your being in the club, but you really want to be in it anyway.

Batman Beyond fanfic. This one was easy to start, but hard to finish.
Title: Awkward Conversations
Characters/Pairings: Terry McGinnis, Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne. Past Bruce/Dick.
Rating: PG-13 for language.
Summary: Terry goes to visit the last member of Bruce's family that he hasn't met... and learns a bit more than he ever wanted to know.
( Another black-haired, blue-eyed boy. Bruce has a type, doesn’t he? )
Now, the story originally ended there, but it niggled at me because well, I like happy endings. So here's the extended ending, not exactly happy, but a little happier than before:

It doesn't matter how bad the movie is. It can be the worst movie in the world, but if you narrate it to yourself as though a very excited nine-year-old is telling you this really cool story they just made up, the movie becomes not only watchable, but it's suddenly downright enjoyable.
You want proof? Batman and Robin. "And then Batman goes after Mr. Freeze but Mr. Freeze took off in a rocketship so Batman grabbed onto the side with these magnets and then Robin..."
It works. |

So today, I went up to Frostburg again for the scholarship thing. It was fun, and very productive, I got a lot of questions answered.
Anyways, because the weather is getting warmer, I suggesting we stop at the Hagerstown outlet mall and get me some new sandals, because my old ones are *dead*.
Is it so much to ask for women's sandals that are both pretty and functional? I'm not looking for dress shoes, I just want a pair of decent-looking sandals that I can walk in! After half an hour, I gave up and bought a pair of sandals from the men's section.
Women's sandals are not allowed to be functional. Women's sandals have to be pretty. If women want functional sandals, they have to buy men's sandals.
Girls aren't allowed to be both pretty and functional! If a girl wants to be functional, she has to be a boy!
I know it's a small thing, but it pisses me off. I mean, I already have to buy boys' jeans to get pants that come all the way up to my waist. It's all these subtle things that give the overall message: Girls have to be attractive. They can't just be practical. If a girl wants to be practical, obviously she has to be a boy.
Fuck that. Can't I be practical and girly? |

Today has been an up and down kind of day. It started down, went further down, and then gave me two ups in the home stretch.
I'm recovering from Katsucon, so I had a hard time waking up. Boo. I'd forgottn today was the early day, so I'd set my alarm for the wrong time. Despite this, I was only fifteen minutes late to work. Yay!
After lunch, my boss comes to talk to me. The long and short of it is: I'm not being fired. Yet. He said that he can see that I'm trying, but I'm just not as good a worker as the others and from an economic standpoint, it's stupid for him to keep me. Basically, he's warning me to give me time to find a different job and leave before he has to fire me. Which is fair, but still... Yeah, it sucks.
Anyway, I explain this to mom on the way home, and we swing by JoAnn fabrics because she needed to get some fleeces. We asked the woman at the cutting table if they had applications and she said that they didn't. Wah.
BUT... At the checkout counter, mom says "It's too bad that you guys don't have applications" and walks away. the woman looks at me and I clarify, "My job is going away." No need to elaborate, right? She asked where I worked, and I told her.
In a very hush-hush voice, she says, "come back next week." Please note, this woman is a manager. *huge sigh of relief goes here*
So, other good thing. When I got home, I had a package from Iowa State University. I've been accepted. I have until May 1st to reply, so I'm holding off for a bit. I want a response from Frostburg before I decide.
Anyways, even despite the job thing, my day is looking up a bit. |

*gasp* It's been forever since I posted anything, fic or not.
Title: Mistakes (1/?)
Fandom: Teen Titans cartoon
Rating: PG-13.
Warnings: hurt/comfort, gay pairings, straight pairings, multiple pairings for one character, implied rape, and Slade being the evil bastard we all know he is.
Summary: Sometimes you make such a terrible mistake, all you can do is go back to the beginning and try again. And sometimes not even that will help. Robin is in Gotham, the Titans are without a leader, and everything is falling apart. AU from Apprentice, Part 2.
( It’s a long way from Jump City to Gotham, but Robin makes the trip in record time. ) |

So I finally had the dream I've been needing to have.
I dreamt about Paddy last night. We were at Pennsic together and during the dream, I remembered that she was dead. I've had a few dreams where she was around and I remembered that she was dead before, but this time I was actually able to ask her about it.
She said that yes, she was dead and this was just a dream. I asked if that meant she wasn't going to be in my dreams anymore, because I really liked seeing her and I missed her a lot. She said that maybe when I'd had a really bad day sometime, she could make a Pennsic dream that we could share together.
And I woke up not sure whether to be smiling or crying. That was what I needed, I guess, for my subconscious mind to finally give up and let me believe she's really dead, but it's so final and I miss her.
Still not sure whether to cry or not.
I'd forgotten how much one of those dreams can hurt. |

I've got my period. I'm suffering from insomnia. Par for the course.
I have to be at work in six hours and I cannot. Fucking. Sleep.
I hate being an adult. |

I am officially growing up. I now have my first real job. It's only part time, and I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. From 6:00 to 4:30. In a warehouse, standing all day and packing boxes.
But it pays $9 an hour, which is great for manual labour.
...
I don't wanna be a grownup yet!

| On the Power of Positive Thinking |
[May. 5th, 2008|05:34 pm] |
So, I've been feeling great lately. Why?
No, it's not because I've lost fifteen pounds (although that's fantastic).
It's not because I've gotten good grades on my work (again, although it's great).
It's definitely not because I have a boyfriend (because I don't).
It's because I've made a conscious effort to feel good.
Instead of worrying about my flaws, I've spent the last month focusing on all of the things that make me wonderful. And it's worked. I feel good about myself, my life, and the whole damn world.
I think everybody should do this. It's not denying that you have any flaws (lord knows I have a LOT), but it's deciding to not define yourself by them. If you ask most people to describe themselves, rarely do you get a list of mostly good qualities. Instead, you get the list of bad qualities because people hold themselves up to impossible standards.
We all believe that we're supposed to be perfect, and since perfect is slightly different for everyone, nobody can ever be perfect. We spend all our time obsessing over making ourselves perfect, and so we spend all that time focusing on the ways we aren't perfect.
They aren't flaws, they're features.
But isn't deciding that your flaws aren't important egotistical?
No. It's being confident.
Confidence is a belief in your ability to meet your limits and exceed them. Egotism is a belief that you have limits, but that your limits are so much higher than anyone else's.
People, as a whole, love people who are confident. Confident people shine with an inner vibrancy and enthusiasm that nobody can help but to be drawn to. Confident people build the people around them up. Egotistical people bring those around them down to make themselves look taller.
Confident people know they have flaws, but they believe that their flaws aren't as important as their good points.
I think people should spend more time defining themselves by their strengths, not their weaknesses. I have a lot of flaws, and I used to define myself by them. I'm lazy, I'm a procrastinator, I have too much of a tendency to be dishonest. I never spent enough time thinking about the good things I have going for me. I'm fun, I'm friendly, I'm creative, I'm attractive.
Or beliefs do shape the world around us. If we believe we're bad people, or even not good enough, and we hate ourselves, we'll start to become bad people.
But, if you believe you're wonderful, then you make yourself wonderful with the force of that belief.
So, I feel great lately. Even better, I feel wonderful.
So I am wonderful
Because I believe I am. |
