26 Oct 2003 10:04 ami didn't sleep particularly well and now it's just chilly enough for me to wish for pajama pants, which are probably in the car, only it's too cold to go out to get them without pants and i don't want to wear jeans. mmf.
i'll probably have to put jeans on soon anyway. bugger.
i don't like the rolling stones.

26 Oct 2003 10:08 amwe have these cds of old 78s--my uncle joe, a music guru, collects them and is a connoisseur of pops and crackles, and daddy and mommy bought him a big box of them at a garage sale or something and in gratitude he used his super-neato recording and mixing equipment to burn several cds of them for us.
we've got one in the cd changer, along with the stones, a live mott (not 'the hoople' because two members leff) and oakenfold and bob marley.
it reminds me of [the one ep of] carnivale [that i've seen].

mom: where's the poppyseed dressing? i could swear i put it away but it's not where i--oh. it's already out. somebody got it out.
dad: i think that somebody was you.
mom: no, it wasn't.
me: it's hard to imagine lillian getting it out.
mom: i think cim got it out.
me: you're crazy.
mom: why? oh, because you don't get things out for other people? okay.
me: i might have, had they asked me to. which no one did.
mom: (sarcastically) it's called the 'Helper Syndrome.'
me: OR it's that i didn't get it out today. and since i have a memory i know that i did not.
mom: that was a low blow.
now she's fighting with dad's attendant publically. dad's not saying a word. and he's saying nothing to support her. the attendant thinks she shouldn't have to unload the dishwasher, because she's supposed to do for him and the dishes belong to the whole family. and mom is so confrontational and snippy and--how do you expect, i mean, it's like a TEACHER being rude, because the student, the employee, is in a position where they're not ALLOWED to be rude. it's like she's consitutionally incapable of just saying what she means, saying what she really wants.

it's an interesting thought. hey, um, it's a meme!
possible pseudonym (source)
+ jago (hunting wabbits icon--cj cherryh's foreigner series)
+ the grand sophy (georgette heyer)
+ persephone (greek myth)
+ morgaine le fey (king arthur legend) (morgan? morgana? la fey? eh)
i identify with uhura (original star trek) too, but the name's just too awkward. i'd never have used it for a pseudonym.
and actually, before i was cim i wrote bad magnetic poetry as 'music,' of all things. i can't remember for certain--i think i picked the word out of a bag of actual word-magnets. or possibly it was the first noun to come to mind.

26 Oct 2003 04:40 pm+there is an 80% probability that a story using the concept of a 'soul bond' other than in jest will be bad, and a 100% chance that said story will be overly sentimental.

26 Oct 2003 09:55 pmthe more i read in this fandom, the more i know what i'd like to read and the more i realize a very unhappy fact--no one has written it.
and what not to read? songs with titles taken from cheesy pop rock like five for fighting (for heaven's sake, people. 'even jedi have the right to bleed'?)

ahahah. she dismisses* 'there is no anger' in one monologue from obi-wan.
well, it's good to know THAT's out of the way.
whew.
*Qui-Gon sighed and lowered himself to the ground, stretching his long legs out in front of him. "No." A short pause, then, "I heard about your battle with the Sith after your master was killed. There is concern that you let anger control you."
Now Obi-Wan's eyes snapped to look at him, a flash in those changing eyes. "Anger? It was not anger. I was upset. I had just watched the creature cut down my master of eleven plus years while I was unable to get to him. It upset me. And don't give me the ‘there is no emotion' crap. I felt the wave of emotions, including anger, coming from you when I told you how I knew about Xanatos. We are beings with feelings and good days and bad days just like everyone else. Yes, as a Jedi, we're taught to meditate and release those emotions, but we still have them. I am not going to feel guilty for being upset over my master's death."

26 Oct 2003 10:20 pmnow it reads like, say, mercedes lackey in her formative years. or the babysitter's club. or, hm, the powerpuff girls. check this dialogue.
"A bond? A bond?! How? They have to be agreed upon by both parties and I don't remember agreeing to this. Do you? We can't stand each other. Not to mention that a mind healer is supposed to oversee the formation to make sure it's done correctly. Nor was this a case of one of us using our life-force to save the other!"

26 Oct 2003 11:05 pmHe opened his eyes to look up at his bondmate. "Um, Qui-Gon? You're glowing."
Qui-Gon smiled, about to answer with a wisecracking innuendo when he cracked his eyes and saw what Obi-Wan was referring to. There was a faint golden glow around both of them. "So are you."
"Does this mean--"
Qui-Gon nodded. "It must be a soul-bond instead of a life-bond. The glow will fade in a bit."
but unfortunately you have to read near to the end before you get to that.
AHAHAH YOU HAVE TO READ IT FOR THE EPILOGUE. YOU HAVE TO. !!!! hahahahahhahahaha.
