Awhabawho?
Good morning everyone. I'm following Jimis suggestion that we're not all here and taking time to work on fic.
I know, time better spent. Especially at work. But I ain't getting a lunch (Just like yesterday) and don't take my alotted smoke breaks since I quit SO BACK OFF!!!
Sorry. Been watching alot of James Cagney and Adam Sandler lately.

Really. Hmph.
I am looking into revoking your fangrrrl status.
Roslin started out just fine. Admirable, even. I liked her.
But the last part of season 2 and the entirety of season 3, she has become more and more arrogant, dictatorial, scheming, dishonest, and absolutely believes in her own delusions of gradeur. As if her opinions and beliefs are the only right ones, so Her Will must be done. She's slowly taking away the rights and freedoms of all the people in the fleet because of her own arrogance, suggesting that the people don't know what's best for them. So, take away their freedoms, and have them live safely as slaves rather than die free? Maybe I'm too independent - heh, as my boss told me in my performance review *snikker* - but I just don't like where she's headed.
No matter what you do, nothing will ever revoke my fangrrl status; it's been too well documented for too many years. ^^

Still much reading to catch up on but how many days later is it and I still laughing about "not a clown car"....Well done, m'boy, well done.

And it's not just the Verse', either. I'm feeling disturbingly numb to... everything. I don't know what's wrong with me, but it's beginning to make me feel really nervous. Like on the verge of crying and not knowing why, but not being able to, like a fg female... n' shit...I've actually tried to force tears in conditions like this before, but it's just not coming.
Just two things to say about that. Crying for "no reason" is how I finally got wise to my on case of depression. I didn't see a shrink (Any shrinks in the audience? Sorry...), I just went to a regular doc and my symptoms were pretty well defined so's I got me my meds. (Many of you will be happy to hear I'm back in therapy now, although your reasons for joy may vary. kiss: and
)Don't force tears. If they're supposed to fall, they will. The real trick is not to hold them back. (Apologies to everyone if this has been gone over before.) When they want to come out don't stop them; among their other uses, they are a stress releaver, and sometimes that's all we need.

That makes me sad to know somehow.

It sounds to me more like hidden agenda propaganda to lull us into the belief that Bush is really doing right by us. Or am I reading a parallel there that doesn't exist...?

You think you can coo at me and everything's hunky-dory? Well missy you got another thing coming.
*turns to herself and says*
No sh*t, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Of course that's where she's headed. How can she not? She's kidnapped, lied, and air-locked half of her detractors.
(Interesting side note, my friends over at serenitymovie.org have just decided I need to write a filthy fanfic starring Laura Roslin and Starbuck's ex husband, Anders. http://www.serenitymovie.org/browncoats/forums/index.php?showtopic=156

Which leads me to believe she will die horribly and leave the military in charge. I've not seen season three but it seems that from the end of two (or 2.5, whatever) the poliltics leaned toward a leader taking away fredoms and a possible leader who would take away life on a whim. I say they shoulda just loaded everyone evenly on the two Battlestars and played a mad game of chicken. The first one to bitch out gets to stay and play tea party with the Cylons. The others get to move on and party like it's 1999.
Or is that too much like the current status the world is in.
Sorry folks. Just frustrated with politics and people who can't get along well enough to just leave each other alone. Is it any wonder there ain't peace in the middle east.
HMMM?

Naw dude. I haven't been watching crap, and I even registered to vote. Just get to hating politicians who aren't out front, won't be out front, and won't send their own families in harms way.
"Don't ask someone to do something unless you are first willing to do it yourself."
Can't remember where I heard it, but ask any NCO (Or at least any good NCO) and they probably won't tell you that. They'll show you that. I don't see the working man making decisions, just people with money and power. Why did I register to vote? Because regardless of how futile I get to thinkin' it is, I still have faith that true democracy will overcome all the bullshit posturing America has endured for so many years.
Just sucks that we are always forced to decide between a shit sandwich and a giant douche.

It's called being a straight man. But touche. I thought the chimp as me was good, but tying it to my recent hairloss does make it 17% better.

My attendance has been quite sporadic of late and it seems the thread itself goes quiet for half a day at a time and then explodes, instead of the gentle waxing and waning (expect for hot topics) that we were accustomed to.
In my absence the natives have returned to their pagan ways and abandoned all sense of order. At least Nico tries his level best to enforce the mandate but you know, he's from Oz.
I was going to start one earlier but had no songs running through my head to inspire a new thread name. Alas.

Evanescent is "fleeting" like your posts and light as opposed to the dark in this title. So it is the Yang to the current Yin. Or vice versa.

Chris. As far as the females go, myself I've always been envious that theyre more 'in touch' then we are with emotions.
I got pointed to your comment by a friend and hesitate to say anything since I dont know your particular experiences. But if you wanna chat just give a shout.
Myself. I know when I got back and had a proper meal again it almost made me cry it tasted so good. And CLEAN SHEETS! Man....how could I feel empty. And shopping in a grocery store I couldnt get enough of!
I was in New Mexico near Taos last February and went up into the moutains and couldnt believe it didnt smell like burnt rubber or look like dirty ash. And afterward I got to sit with friends and have a proper beer! And next to a warm fire! Man it was like heaven!
So everytime I feel tempted to get depressed or feel empty I just remember the day to day then and the day to day now. Go out with a friend. Have a beer. Eat some good food and f**king smile at how amazing everything is here.
Just my 2 cents. But give a shout if you want to get back. :)
