You may be able to guess, but... Quistis Trepe of FF8. She's intelligent, she's similar to myself in that guarded but sensitive way, she has gorgeous hair... And a whip. Hell yeah.
If we do "strong women" art next month she's definately going to get a look in :D
As for ONTD, fuck that!

Writer's Block: Dress up your Pet Day

I'd rather not, being as how that's one of the ways my Aunt's mental problems manifest - treating her cat and small dogs as though they're her children.
With insanity on that scale running on both sides of my family, I try very hard to stay grounded. Costumes for Halloween/Xmas etc are fun if you don't stress the animal out. But dress-up? No ta.
Also, it's kinda hard to dress up a canary, a goldfish and a number of feral cats :)

Complicated question. I personally wouldn't. But I am well aware of the topic of hating something about your body, and if it is that big an issue people may want to get it seen to. That's acceptable, if sad. In this world where media influences everything, its nice when somebody stands up and says they like something about their body which isn't conventially pretty but is natural nonetheless.

Writer's Block: Winter vacation

I'd like to shake off this shitty depression, ta. I might just manage it too, provided the weather doesn't take a sudden crap turn and I don't end up unable to go down to my boy on NYE...
And as far as the title of this WB goes - It's not a vacation. It's 2 extra days off for me. Welcome to the world of people who have to work.

P, and J.
P deals with me whether I'm up or down, and I can't pretend I'm an easy person to deal with. I have trusted this man with my heart for 8 years.
J gives me somebody to talk to when I can't be near P. We grew up together, hes a very good friend as well as a wonderful little brother.
...I wish I could say my father. He has influenced me yes, mostly to be weak because I'm a girl, to bear situations I shouldn't bear because it's my 'place', and to utter confusion when I recall when I was a kid he did give a shit about me, despite his best actions to the contrary.

Imagination.
In there I don't have to worry about the world's ugliness, cruelty, and all the crap that goes on around us. It signifies one of my greatest gifts, and at the same time my greatest curse when mixed with my paranoia.
Lost in there, I don't have to hear the fighting and shooting on the television as I type. I don't have to stare at the 38 degrees petitions and worry that this time next year we won't have an NHS to provide healthcare to the neediest people in the country. I don't have to ponder my own opinions on issues that I do give a damn about but will never figure out, due to my own indecisiveness.
At school it was looked upon as a stupid and distracting thing. By the time I needed to use it, they'd whittled it away. I've spent years building it back up again, going out, seeing the world as it is, and how I wish it was.
I'm never bored when I'm out with music in my ears and my imagination working full pelt.
"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to - do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know, to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free, if you truly wish to be."

Yes I did, and don't be so nosy :p
Nah seriously. I had a friend when I was 17, she was American but lived over here. I think twice she tried to get me to speak to this friend of hers, who was also a big Doctor Who geek.
I was having a discussion with her about the awesomeness which is Paul McGann, when her friend stepped in on the comments and said hello.
I think it took us 3 months to fancy each other, and about 3 more to act on it. We'll be celebrating our 8th anniversary in January. Even if we're still not together.
And my friend? I miss her. I don't know where she's gone or how she is. I just hope she knows I still think a lot of her, and I'm grateful. But no, there will never be a Doctor Who wedding :p

Writer's Block: Remembering Steve Jobs
Oct. 6th, 2011 10:46 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
By producing a string of dickheads who have personality problems and thus think I want to hear about their Macintosh computers, then a stream of idiots wanting to be cool.
RIP man, It's not a nice way to die and I bear no ill will to you, or to the people who use their Macs and iphones and ipods without being rude to others about it. This is all directed at the attitudes of the jumped up tossers who use their products as a means to belittle and exclude others.
Yes, thats the influence Steve Jobs has had on my life. His fanboys are rude, and that makes me angry. Nobody has the right to Belittle or to Exclude - that's Bullying, something LJ is trying to help stamp out this month apparently!
As for wasting my life, I do not intend to argue this topic, and thats why this post ends now. If you've taken offence sorry, but read it again, if you're my friend then you're not one of those bastards (Mostly because I don't put up with that behavior on my FList.)
G'night all.

Writer's Block: Anti-bullying month
Oct. 3rd, 2011 07:17 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
Two people.
Firstly, probably myself. I don't know if it's the influences of those who bullied me as a child, still exerting themselves because I feel I lack the confidence to battle them away, or just the deranged mind of somebody who's never been quite right.
Either way, when I keep trying to fight it and live this awesome life I've been given, I keep failing. Maybe not immediately, but for every positive in my life there's a little voice in my head saying 'you are SO not worth that, fatass, go back to the fridge.'
It dredges up the past and vindicates those who have hurt me. And in turn encourages the sort of self-destructive behavior I've been fighting since I was a kid. These learned behaviors, they're hard to break.
Secondly, the OTHER bully in my life is the goldfish, The mighty Bobness... who gives me the cold shoulder should I do anything out of place to his opinion, who reads what I'm writing over my shoulder, (is doing so now), who harrasses me in the morning, no I may not go and eat my breakfast, its Bob fussing time!... and splashes to make his point known.
A foot long goldfish with a chip on his shoulder is a very manipulative creature.
