...[livejournal.com profile] lierdumoa is gonna LAUGH SO HARD.

'cause like, see, here's the thing: [livejournal.com profile] fashes's family has kinda sorta a freakishly accident prone, hospital-filled life.

She has also, like, adopted me into her family...upon learning this [livejournal.com profile] lierdumoa made a "GURK, OMG NEVAR DO THAT TO ME"-type statement.

Because, see, they were having this conversation last month about my sudden trip to the ER over a burst ovarian cyst...and [livejournal.com profile] lierdumoa don't want none of that karma. (The ride on the ambulance was really cool tho, despite the fact of it being rather mortifying that my first week of class back at my school involved me being rushed out on a gurney ON THE LAST DAY BEFORE FINISHING ::stamps foot::)

...sooooo, I just came back from another trip to the ER. ::wryyyyy::

I'm fine tho! It's just, [livejournal.com profile] fashes yelled at me to call my insurance hotline when I'd had a headache and ringing in the ears for three days and then the hotline nurse practitioner yelled at me to go to the ER upon learning that I'd had dizzyness for the same amount of time.

=P

So um...the verdict from the ER doctor is that I have...er, I don't remember the proper medical term, but it basically amounts to "unexplainable dizzyness". It's sorta one of those smallish things that the doctors still can't make heads or tails of, because it has to do with a viral infection in the ear canals that help control balance and is probably causing the headaches too.

She gave me a scopalamine patch to control the dizzyness and basically banned me from driving or drinking for the next three days.

Downside: not celebrating New Years with alcohol

Upside: not celebrating New Years with my mother

heh.

Incidentally I'd figured out during therapy that a large part of the reason why I hated going to the doctor's/dentist/optometrist was because it was always My Fault; that I shouldn't read so much or that I should have dressed warmer or whatever. Which means that I've developed high endurance levels for discomfort ranging anywhere from colds to headaches to ear infections to crippling amounts of menstral cramps (that could've easily been solved by midol and a heating pad), and up to and including bearing through ovarian cysts bursting on me (and causing minor blackouts) for *years*.

::sigh:: Fuck you very much mom. Fuck you very much.


In happier news, princess tutu fic wip is proceeding apace and I have several princess tutu vid ideas that are EATING MY BRAIN. ^___^V

...and...

...

Like, really, I shouldn't contemplate a Princess Tutu crossover/fusion with Firefly. THERE LIES BADFIC, ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER, and so on and so forth.

...

::CLUTCHES BRAIN:: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? T_____T

Fic contains SPOILERS for the movie.

AU, Firefly/Serenity / The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey

::points at the fandoms::

It has Wash as a modified Firefly.

Let me repeat myself: Wash as a ship.

Not only does this series do wonderful and interesting things with format (the telling of stories, the immediacy of friends telling each other and us stories, script-format that oddly *works* for me), but it brings me to a happy place with Firefly fandom love, with odd "found" families, with the Zoe/Wash.

Ohhh the Zoe/Wash, and I admit it it does things with fannish hot-buttons I've carried over from PotC and Jack Sparrow/Black Pearl, but in new ways and ways uniquely Firefly. AND IT MADE ME CRY. And fanfic NEVER makes me cry...

Go see!

If only to read the prologue and have lasergirl69 and hannahrorlove sing you a story...

::grins:: can you say rival!slash??

First Person Demonstrative

I'd rather
heave half a brick than say
I love you, though I do
I'd rather
crawl in a hole than call you
darling, though you are
I'd rather
wrench off an arm than hug you though
it's what I long to do
I'd rather
gather a posy of poison ivy than
ask if you love me

so if my
hair doesn't stand on end it's because
I never tease it
and if my
heart isn't in my mouth it's because
it knows its place
and if I
don't take a bite of your ear it's because
gristle gripes my guts
and if you
miss the message better get new
glasses and read it twice

- PHYLLIS GOTLIEB (via here)


also, this is the only way you'd see me reading Mal/Simon:
Mal and Simon had just fallen apart, sweaty and sated, on Simon's bed (since the beds in the passenger dorms were more spacious and comfortable than the bunks in crew quarters) when River bounded in. "Can I play?" she asked.

Mal cursed in Chinese and tried to cover himself with the sheet. It was too tightly tucked for him to pull it over himself, so he settled for using a pillow. "We're not playing, little girl," he growled.

"Yes, you are," River said, settling between them, on her back, leaning on her elbows. "You're playing at being broken, and Simon's playing at fixing you, when you know you're not really broken, and you," she looked at her brother, "know that sexual therapy is a medically approved treatment for depression only when administered by a licensed Companion." She switched gears again, smiling broadly. "I know," she said. "I'll be the crazy sister."

Before either Mal or Simon could comment on that, she had knelt up and was wriggling out of her dress.

Also! She wrote Roy/The Hughes (ie. Gracia/Roy/Hughes)! ::bliss::

My roommate and I were chatting about Serenity and she brought up the rage that people in the fan forums she found (non-LJ) were feeling over the treatment of *SPOILER* in the latter half of the movie. )

Jayne Woke Up FAIRY by [livejournal.com profile] maryavatar

Thought Provoking
One more response to the Robin Hobb debate by [livejournal.com profile] crumblingwalls; from the pro-writer's negative response to fanfiction

metaphors for writing, again by [livejournal.com profile] truepenny; to which I extrapolate, vidding = blind-folded run-away-train-ride.

What makes Harry Potter the Perfect Storm of Fandom? by [livejournal.com profile] fabularasa; neat thoughts with reference to bards and storytelling.

Of 9/11 imagery and other such users of tragedy in art by [livejournal.com profile] cofax7; when does human devastation become pornographic?


Note Worthy
Face Analyzer - SO FREAKING COOL. It basically tagged mine and my roommates' racial profiles and pretty darn near the personality profiles too; it's interesting to notice that all the stars and most celebrities have very, very 'average' faces. Which makes a sort of sense, come to think of it. [edit] BEFORE YOU USE, you should notice this excerpt from their TOS, which mentions providing the information they might gather to 'third-parties'.

Fleshlight. o.0 huh, interesting adult toy. (NOT WORKSAFE.) (::blinks:: also, 'Mr. Limpy'? o.0;;; oh my flist...)
