Untold Stories are Dangerous Ones

Whaaaaaat?

2009-07-01T06:21:27Z

Oh, my God.

I am about as confused as a fat kid presented with vegetables.

I've got approximately no idea what the fuck's going on over at MNFF, but I'm concerned. I know that isn't the trendy reaction - I ought to be saying things like, "...but all I know is, it makes me glad I left." It doesn't. I'm not. Truthfully, it kills me. I'm tired of trying to be the person who can walk away from things, free and happy. It might be the healthy thing to do, but it's not me. I can't do that. Not with MNFF, not with anything. I don't detach that easily. For better or worse, I'm still invested. This vague nether-drama has made me realize that. /self-purported rant

I'm declining to comment on any of the particulars until someone gives me the low-down.

But I'll say just this much, because it appears as though this specific incident has sparked a site-wide dialogue on the current state of MNFF as a whole.

The site needs to return to its roots. Screw the bells and whistles. Forget the challenges, the contests, the House points, the 84573475978 guilds and clubs and cliques. Forget it all. When shit's this bad, shit's got to return to its origins. And the origins of MNFF were, plain and simple, quality stories modded in a timely manner by quality mods. That's it. When MNFF opened, there wasn't even the Help section, let alone classes and clubs and pranks. DON'T get me wrong - those things are badass, and I love(d) them. But only when the foundation upon which they are based is in working order. Prioritize.

I really don't know if I'm in any position to even offer advice given the abrupt and shitty way in which I left. Hopefully that mistake doesn't invalidate the rest of my time there.

I never thought I'd use this tag again.

Stunned.

I... am beside myself. This is just incredible. Incredible.

I've cried more times tonight than I care to count. This is epic. This is history in the making. This is... a rare moment of absolute, unhindered pride in my country.

Yes we can.

But better yet, yes we did.

People are fucking stupid.

This has always been my motto. I try and think of less petulant ways to phrase it, but then that would be doing said people too much justice. There is no better word, anyway. People.are.stupid.

And by "people," I am being intentionally general. 90% of all people, everywhere, regardless of country, religion, morals-- are fucking idiots. And nothing has ever proven me more right than recent events. The average person is illogical, unthinking, selfish, narrow-minded, and utterly lacking in perspective.

Ordinarily this knowledge amuses me, much in the way adults smile patrionizingly at children when they throw hissy fits over lost toys, but for the first time in several months, my composure cracked-- just a little-- under the weight of just how stupid bitches are.

But then, I'm sure once I've remembered that I've known this all along, I'll fall asleep tonight with another small smile of pity on my face.

You are late-sleepy relaxation, the half-awake moment when you realize it's morning, but you don't have to get up, because there's no place you have to be. You are that cozy spot under the covers where everything feels temporarily perfect, even if you know you'll eventually have to wiggle out and start the day. Maybe you're the artistic type, who doesn't function well on a normal schedule. Sleep's important to you, and you like the freedom of sleeping as late as you want (especially since that is closely related to the freedom to stay up as late as you want). You like to roll out of bed, put on some comfy clothes, and get a laid back start to the day. If not everything on your list gets accomplished, no worries. Your only priority is having no priorities – you just want to take things at a slow, mellow pace.

Well. I'm not sure I'm what anyone would call "cozy" but that's pretty good. Especially about the part with "the freedom to stay up as late as you want." Hells to the yeah.

OMG YES!

Speak Up

2008-01-25T02:09:46Z

In Germany, they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me-- and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Whoo, I finally finished my very first Sirius/Remus story (here)! And actually, come to think of it, only my second story involving the Marauders at all. Writing them is a bit more difficult than I'd thought, but mostly only because I refuse to turn them into characatures. A lot of authors only give them two dimensions, as if being a funny prankster is all there is to Sirius and James and being the "good boy" of the group was all there is to Remus. And I've read so many of those, it's hard not to do that myself.

Anyway, it's proving to be a really boring Friday. I slept most of the day, and now there's nothing to do. Except-- SHIT! I just realized I'm missing a Gary Oldman movie I haven't seen yet, that's playing on HBO tonight! More like right fucking now! Fucking McFuck Nuggets!

*Scurries away*

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T06:19:16Z

If I absolutely had to choose, I'd say the one thing I love most about my family is that when I ask them to put on some Christmas music while we wrap presents, they put on Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath.

And if I had to choose one thing I love most about my dad in particular, it would be that he questions why my mom didn't choose Led Zeppelin in a very hurt, almost devastated voice.

At any rate, I'd like to wish my entire Flist a very warm MERRY CHRISTMAS!

*Hugs* for you all, and extra special *HUGS* for Lei, Jess, Suya, Roxy, Lex, and all the modlies and badgers. =)

Well...

Lebanon is falling apart at the seams today. Joyous. Air strikes have started again in Darfur... we'll be lucky if the casualties stay in the hundreds. 800 million people will go to sleep tonight not having eaten in 4+ days. The average estimated income per capita for the 2007 fiscal year will be $4,300. Meaning the average person in the world is living off of roughly $13 a day. And all the while, CNN is reporting on the dangers of hand sanitizer.

Some days I truly hope the Mayans turn out right about 2012.

In the meantime, at least Obama's tied with Clinton in the New Hampshire polls. This has been the only ray of light in my ~~day~~ week.

Most of the time, my only wish is that someone could feel the sense of obligation on my shoulders.

i. Have any of you heard of something called "Upshot"? It's a really tiny energy drink that you chug all in one gulp. It's the smallest fucking bottle I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah, well. I'd stocked up on Rockstar, but also decided to try that Upshot deal. I was studying hard for my Law final last night, and felt myself about to pass out at the table. So around 2 a.m. I drank it. It was horrid. Tasted faintly of what I imagine stewed shit would taste like. But my God, did it work. And it wasn't like coffee. It doesn't make you jittery and wired out. I felt like I'd just woken from an incredibly recooperative sleep. I stayed up all night. I haven't slept in about 31 hours. *Hugs Upshot*

Though I am unbelievably tired right now, though, so I'm actually on my way out to go buy some more. After tonight I'll have been up for two whole days straight! -__-

ii. Also-- this band Paramore is fucking AWESOME. I heard them on TV a few weeks ago. Crushcrushcrush. Download it. I usually hate bands with girls as the lead singer, but this is a rare exception. \m/

Your Score: Alfred Hitchcock

Your film will be 45% romantic, 41% comedy, 54% complex plot, and a $ 40 million budget.

One of the best film directors EVER to exist. Your life must be something special if we're going to dig up Hitch to direct the film version. His films are studies of masterful technique and visual storytelling. He also has six distinct signatures he puts in each of his films, one of them being his fleeting cameo walk-by appearance. I think another one is that the leading man is always wrongly persecuted for something he didn't do, and the leading lady is usually a blonde. He made many more films than just The Birds and Psycho. PLEASE go rent, buy, or view North By Northwest or Vertigo!

Well that's special. But I'm not blonde.
