Interesting Link

http://www.adequacy.org/ seems to have interesting commentaries on everything under the sun from people who probably bitterly hate the people at the Onion because they're so much alike.

Shiny happy birthday

I turn 22 in a few weeks. I have survived so far. Yay me!

I should probably say something deeply insightful at this point. Older, wiser, and x amount weirder. That's me. I hope Darkside remembers to at least bonk me a happy birthday this year. He spaced it utterly last year, maybe because I didn't tell him until the day afterward.

soulmates

Votania says that you can have more than one. Knew that much already myself. It's when you meet, you've already known each other. When you reach out to each other and combine powers, it merges into one... that's what I've felt. That's what I've been feeling.

There's no need for a lifebond to be exclusive.

Right now I just want to be near, to grow strong in the presence of someone who doesn't mind my strength, is willing to allow me to be myself, who takes offense if I hurt myself, whether it be in the name of good or evil.

I will settle, romantically, for no less than a soulmate.

Or two. Or three. Or perhaps none at all, with just a succession of lovers who are good close friends, leaving my soulmates always at a distance from my bed. Workable, that. Heart-tearing agony to not touch, sometimes, but if touch is permissible, then I may seek sexual satisfaction elsewhere with clear heart.

Most of all?

communication. with the soulmate who has wrapped his hands around mine, we have communicated.

even that shyest part of me will open to him.

he's done the bravest things before by himself. now, to have his aid? beyond beautiful. the tears caused by the knowledge that even had i been there at the right place, right time, i still might not have been the right person to offer a healing hand.

only thing to do? pass it on, later, to someone as fragile and fucked-up as you yourself once must have been.

Fairly clean way to spew soda on screen.

Yum.

Helped with dinner, or at least will be. Or something. Started off the morning right. Hee. When Votania came home with dinner, I had to clear out the freezer, so I selected a bag of random potato bits and prepared that. Yum.

Books

Finished: Brightly Burning, Mercedes Lackey. Take one Gift for fire. Add some trauma. Shake, garnish with a small war. Instant tragedy. Whewh, a relief from some of the happy endings. Hopeful ending, though. Nice.

The Super Hugos. Lots of nice short stories. Finally read Ellison's "I have no mouth and I must scream"; that was also delightful.

Yep, Malkavians are fucking insane

Dinner? Yummy. Too bad I was so full from the potato thingies I pulled out of the freezer to make room for the frozen veggies that brought the steaks home safely (no car plus Arizona summer...) to properly appreciate it.

Helped Votania debug a bit of Excel spreadsheeting. We were both stumped until I realized that the offending value was coming from $B$7 rather than $B$22 like it was supposed to be.

Now, helping my friend Sparklebutt come up with reasons why the Navy doesn't want her.

many forms of love...

Chatted for half an hour, mostly about Star Wars, a bit about http://fogclub.keenspace.com, some about Skippy.

Bad puns are universal.

Would that there were an easier way to speak heart to heart than a breakdown. In person is best.
