Okay. As ridiculous as the ending to the Glee finale was...

...Lea Michele is a stunning, fabulous actress and I was tearing up at her reaction even while thinking that the whole scene was stupid.

So... There is going to be a box set of the first seven seasons of Power Rangers.

My wallet is going to be fucked if they release a box set of the other seasons.

Just thought I'd share this because it's only the most amazing Harry Potter fan video I've ever seen.

So... can I just say that I've been working on my Power Rangers fanfic for, like, five years now and I've finally gotten to Day of the Dumpster and I'm having ALL THE FUN writing about the day from a non-Ranger perspective?

Yeah. That's all. XD

Just some rl rambling )

Anyway, Christmas Eve/Christmas was quite good! My grandma came up and we basically just hung around the house. On Christmas, we made like the Jews and watched The Help (great performances from all of the actors involved!) and went out for Chinese food. I got a really nice Vera Bradley tote, the Fast Five extended edition (!!), and a couple of books/CDs.

I think I started this entry wanting to talk about something else, but I can't remember what it was. =(

Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media.

Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and fetuses personhood status.

Putting aside the contentious issue of abortion, this would effectively outlaw birth control and criminalize women who have miscarriages. This is not a good thing.

Jackson Women's Health Organization is the only place women can get abortions in the entire state, and they are trying to launch a grassroots movement against this amendment. This doesn't just apply to Mississippi, though, as Personhood USA, the group that introduced this amendment, is trying to introduce identical amendments in all 50 states.

What's more, in Mississippi, this amendment is expected to pass. It even has Mississippi Democrats, including the Attorney General, Jim Hood, backing it.

The reason I'm posting this here is because I made a meager donation to the Jackson Women's Health Organization this morning, and I received a personal email back hours later - on a Sunday - thanking me and noting that I'm one of the first "outside" people to contribute.

So if you sometimes pass on political action because you figure that enough other people will do something to make a difference, make an exception on this one. My RSS reader is near silent on this amendment. I only found out about it through a feminist blog. The mainstream media is not reporting on it.

If there is ever a time to donate or send a letter in protest, this would be it.

What to do?

- Read up on it. Wake Up, Mississippi is the home of the grassroots effort to fight this amendment. Daily Kos also has a thorough story on it.

- If you can afford it, you can donate at the site's link.

- You can contact the Democratic National Committee to see why more of our representatives aren't speaking out against this.

- Like this Facebook page to help spread awareness.

To the Flashpoint fans on my flist, I've started posting the fic I've been working on at FanFiction.Net!

Breathe @ FanFiction.Net
Summary: When Keira Ford left her home at 18, she never looked back. Now a rookie at the SRU, she's done everything she can to bury her past. But when Team One gets a new recruit, she's forced to confront the reasons why she left... and the one she had to stay.

Is it a Mary Sue? Possibly. Do I care? Nope. =D
So, I like rearranging my room. A lot. I also like redecorating. XD I've changed things up since the last time I posted, so I thought I'd share again!

Um... and apparently I like taking pictures of my room, too, cause there are a lot. Sorry, dial-up users. =/

01

Warning: very image heavy! )

And that's it! XD

This has nothing to do with the actual content of the episode, but I loved Glee's version of "Run, Joey, Run."

...You have some really, really awesome people who've agreed to let you email/PM them to brainstorm story ideas, cause you have no idea how a human would go about asking Rita Repulsa to hire them...

...So you're writing, like, literally a single-spaced page of "Short story long, I’m writing a fic that spans from MMPR to Space. It features an OC Ranger and, consider yourself warned, it’s probably Sue-ish" and way too much background info...

...And finally you get around to the actual issue you're trying to figure out, so you're all like, "Except, unless you’re Divatox, you can’t really call Rita Repulsa on the telephone, so there’s still the problem of how Idelia would contact her in the first place"...

...And then, somewhere at the beginning of Page 2, you answer your own question.

Major thanks to [livejournal.com profile] psyco_chick32, [livejournal.com profile] second_batgirl, and [livejournal.com profile] pockythoughts for having volunteered their brainstorming services! Be glad that you were spared my probably incoherent ramblings. XD
...Would anyone be willing to help me brainstorm on some ideas for an epic PR fanfic I'm working on? I'm still trying to flesh out some of the back story details, and I'm struggling a bit. =(

Aah, new season of Flashpoint!!!

Cut for spoilers )

I didn't really understand what was going on in the preview for next week's episode... Did anyone catch it?
I was telling a friend about how I became a Tolkien geek, and I thought it might amuse some of you. =P

Me: So, back in 2002, when I was a wee middle schooler, a friend of mine was obsessed with Lord of the Rings and kept going on and on about how hot this guy Legolas was.
Me: Now, being very offended that anyone could like The Lord of the Rings over Harry Potter, I rolled my eyes and scoffed at her.
Me: In response, she whipped out a bookmark with this picture on it: http://www.posters.ws/images/357847/lord_of_rings_two_towers_legolas.jpg
Me: And my wee middle schooler self was like, "I NOW SEE THE ERROR OF MY WAYS."
Me: Except, that didn't necessarily translate into wanting to watch LOTR, because, well, Harry Potter was still totally cooler and those Orc things were so ugly, you know?
Me: But as fate would have it, I slept over a friend's house later that week on the same night her brother and father happened to be watching The Fellowship of the Ring.
Me: And we were trying to go to sleep, but shit was going down in Moria and all we could hear were swords clashing, people yelling, random creatures screeching, and whatnot.
Me: So, we decided to go downstairs and see what they were watching. And when we found out, I said to her, "Hey, that's the movie with that really hot Elf [our friend] showed us! Let's watch it!"
Me: And... that's how it all started.
Me: Also, I totally couldn't tell Aragorn and Boromir apart the first time I watched FOTR.
Him: Facepalm.

Anyway.

MAJOR FUCKING HOBBIT CASTING NEWS, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT INVOLVE SOMEONE FROM LOST )

Also, the first pictures from The Hobbit have been released, so squee to your heart's content!!!

So depressed right now. I just found out that the gymnastics place I've been going to since second grade is closing. I don't know what I'm going to do anymore.
To everyone on my flist: if you leave a comment in a community or a journal that logs IP addresses, your country/city will now be displayed alongside the IP address.

This fuckery is from [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases, which just casually mentioned it at the end of their most recent post:

Users who have enabled Comment IP logging will now also see the Country and City information of the commenter. This information is only visible to the journal owner, community owner/maintainers, or author of the entry if it is posted to a community with this feature enabled (only those who can currently see IP information). This feature is providing the publicly available geo-location associated with the IP address in the same way the "location" feature on our Update page currently functions.

Now, granted, anyone can take your IP address and use any one of the various programs out there to find your country/city, but this is basically handing that information to them on a silver platter. It's really fucking creepy.

Based on some of the comments over at the post, it sounds like the country/city information is applied retroactively to all comments - and, moreover, when community owners opt-out of the IP logging, the changes only apply to new comments; i.e. old comments still have the location listed.

If this bothers you, please go to [livejournal.com profile] lj_releases and leave them a comment. I don't know if the staff reads the responses, but I don't think they're going to change this unless users protest.
