piecesof_reesesOH MAN, it's been ages since I've posted. Stuff's been happening. Life's been kicking my ass. My online presence overall, not just in el-jay, has pretty much plummeted. Ask ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaoticallyclev.
I also haven't really posted because I've been kind of mad a lot. At...everything. First it's like, SCHOOL, YOU'RE FIRED. Also, el-jay, YOU'RE FIRED. And then it's, Certain People in Fandom, FIRED. And France, FIRED. Arizona, FIRED.
I need to say that a few more times. Fired. FIRED. So, so fired. (huh, that doesn't even look like a word anymore.)
I just--I literally do not understand what is going through the minds of the Arizona government. Something along the lines of caveman grunting? "My stuff, my money, my land. No can has." (Apparently my cavemen also moonlight as lolcats in their spare time. /o\) Honestly? I'm not even going to comment on the immigration law because there are people out there much more eloquent than I am already speaking about the situation. But--banning ethnic studies classes?
Wow. I just--wow. Straight from the governor's mouth, she's worried about these classes fostering "white resentment." Let's say that again. White. Resentment. Because clearly, white resentment isn't caused by entitled assholes. Clearly it isn't caused by that immigration law she just signed. No, of course not. It's ethnic studies classes that are really pushing all those violent minorities over the edge. Well, shit. If only we had known before those goddamn ethnic studies classes were so awful. Bad for your digestion, too.
Who cares about actually teaching people about their heritage? They're in America, now, aren't they? Doesn't that mean they're supposed to conform to all our standards? That they're supposed to single-mindedly adopt our culture? And if they don't, doesn't that just mean they're ungrateful?
Oh, wait, what's that you're saying? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over all the ethnocentrism clogging my ears. Try again in a few moments.
I don't know why it's so hard for me to believe that this kind of bullshit is still happening. I just--aren't people supposed to learn from their mistakes? Aren't we, I don't know, the most adaptable species on the planet? Except for how we still can't tell our heads from our assholes in issues that have been around for centuries. What's even the point of me shouting uselessly into the ether? I'm just preaching to the fucking choir.
Ugh. This was supposed to be cathartic, and I think I've only succeeded in making myself feel worse. :\
OH MY GOD, just have a rec. I really enjoyed this fic! It's Merlin/Arthur, modern AU and h/c. Hopefully it will make you feel better if you just read through my entire incoherent rant.
This is very long. Flist, my apologies.

(lol, i'm so going to be a traitor next year. beaver believer, my ass. not that I've ever cared about school spirit.)
YOUR NEW LAYOUT IS VERY BRIGHT.
I had a flash of brilliance today where I remembered that i never like people's singles, pretty much always (with the exeptions of 9 in the afternoon and Change, and others, but mainlt those), and that even though Lady Gaga doesn't bother me any more and I can almost sing some of the songs for fun, I only know her singles. So I looked some up and I really like Speechless. :D?
MY TUMMY HURTS IN AN ACHEY/HUNGRY WAY, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE, BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T BE HUNGRY. IT'S STUPID. CAN WE FIRE MY STOMACH, TOO?

Date: 2010-05-13 11:48 pm (UTC)Is it too bright?? I was kind of worried about that. Do you think I should change it?
Hm, I haven't heard that song. I will go listen to it now!
We can absolutely fire your stomach. Just make sure you rehire it before dinner. That could get messy.
