| foster baby update! |
[May. 11th, 2012|11:40 pm] |
Our foster baby has been living with us for five days, and she's been a handful. A joy, but also... wow. Just. Wow. I have changes a lot of babies, and worked on multiple farms, but the smells I have smelled in the last few days... there is no way a living human (or any other mammal I've ever encountered) could make these odors. Logical conclusion: demon baby.
BUT SERIOUSLY. We're actually doing great, and she's really happy here. It's looking more and more like her mom isn't going to be pulling it together any time soon, but we're all praying for her. She's really not a bad mom, she's just got way too much to deal with. Hopefully she can show good improvement before her thirty day check up, but it looks like my mom and I will almost definitely have her for six months or so. We love having her around, but we're trying really hard to guard our hearts here. Even if bio-mom loses her, there's no way we can keep her forever. My mom is hoping to have grandkids before too terribly long, and (clearly) am not baby-adoption ready. We know we can't keep her for her whole childhood, so we're just trying to help her mom get in compliance with the courts.
Oh, also, we got our official paperwork back today. My mom and I are both listed as "foster-mother." Keep your fingers crossed for breakfast in bed this sunday, now that I'm a mom and all. |

I'm going to learn how to buy a prom dress today! My school does a pink-prom, which is basically normal prom, but gayer.
It's going to be adventure since my size is so weird, but we'll just have to see what we can do. I'm 6'1, a US 14 (which I think is a UK 18), and an FF cup.
Like I said. Adventure. |

I'm a fucking foster parent. What.
Well, I think technically I'm a foster sister (brother? whatever) but my parents and I are going into this with the intent of being three equal responsibility care givers.
Basically, my mom's goddaughter's living situation has been deemed unsafe due to her mother's heart condition and living situation. So, after all the paperwork goes through, we're going to have a four month old, (almost) nine pound baby living with us for anywhere between a month and a year.
Let's go get the shit kicked out of us for love. |

Give me one of your characters and one of my past or present characters. I will go to Texts From Last Night and find a text that my character would have sent yours, or vice versa. |

I just tried to watch The Secret Circle, but I couldn't get into it. Everyone is so angry and intense. Not to mention the Phoebe Tonkin's accent is reeeeally bad. I love her and she's gorgeous, but she's awful at sounding American.
Also, my apps have hit a serious wall. I'm having a really tough time articulating Sean's pre-war history as anything more than "everything was good and normal. lol the end." My histories usually get so intense and convoluted that I really don't know what to do with this idea that he didn't have a crappy childhood. IDK, bros. I'll work more on it tomorrow. |

I just found out about Perks of being a Wallflower.
Do you know who is in it? DO YOU EVEN KNOW? Ezra Miller, Logan Lerman, and Mae Whitman. All of whom I've used as pbs.
I can't even handle this. I'm dying.
EDIT: You guys. Apparently in the book, they kiss. Ezra and Logan are going to get their mack on. I. Am. Dying.
This is what I get for writing two queer characters. Of COURSE there's a universe in which they make out. >_< |

That awkward moment when you realize that you are 'that guy.' I just informed the bassist in my band that I had our songs 'down like your mama last night.' I totally can't tell if he hates me or thinks I'm hilarious.
IN OTHER NEWS, it's meme time. I know I haven't finished Alison's baby prompts yet, but it's been a while since I've seen a veritaserum meme. It goes without saying, Demz and Sean questions would be extra appreciated.
Veritaserumnoun
a powerful truth serum that is most commonly used in interrogation
Usually, this potion is kept carefully out of reach of students, but on this day a few potent drops made it into the pumpkin juice at breakfast. Today, you may ask my characters anything, and expect to hear only the truth.
Go forth, my friends, and interrogate. |

Give me one of my characters and one of yours and I will tell you- no matter how ridiculous the pairing- the following about their first child (if they are canonically a couple with children, I will make up an uncanon child.)
A. Name
B. House (if HP; Zodiac if not)
C. Circumstances of Conception
D. PB
E. Three Random Facts |

I'm having this problem right now where I just want more characters. A lot more characters. And I want there to be more gay kids in the game. Not that Q would ever be brave enough to make a move on any of them, but not knowing any gay people really has him down.
So. Character ideas.
Girl. Possibly Demelza Robins. Perpetually grumpy, but also a total badass. Plays Quidditch like nobody's business. Frankly, a little bit dim. EITHER super sexually ambiguous (is she gay? I think she's gay... no... well... maybe...) OR very girly, but fashion-challenged in a way that could incite some general mockery.
Boy. Either Sean Ackerly (Alison, thoughts?) or William Pucey, depending on how important it is the he's definitely Will. He would be Lucy's ex, and a lot of his personality depends on what exactly Alison wants out of him. I'm thinking that he either needs to be jealous as all get out of Lucy's new beau, or he has to be INFURIATINGLY indifferent. He'll definitely be pretty bigoted, despite being a half-blood, so he won't like Jamie all.
So... that's what I'm thinking right now. I have an insanely busy weekend ahead of me, though, so I probably won't really get going on apps for a little while.
Also, in spite of everything going on with my mom's god daughter, I feel really pretty today. I'm going to make a point of being out in the sunshine today, and maybe take pictures. I might post pictures later if I take anything nice. We'll see. |

My mom's goddaughter is in NICU with pneumonia, and they're not sure how long she has. I'm not really dealing that well with this information, TBH.
She had two heart attacks today, and they can't keep her oxygen levels over eighty percent. They've started talking about emergency baptism, which is no small thing at my mom's church. Her mom is part of a battered women's program at my mom's church, and she's given everything she has to this baby.
This is just such bullshit. She's SO little.
I guess that's all I have to say right now. If anything changes, I'll probably throw a post up. Right now I guess I'm just going to get some rest. :\ |

| I dumped my boyfriend. Alternate title: this bitch is a liberated woman. |
[Mar. 28th, 2012|03:38 am] |
So, I'm finding myself suddenly single, and strangely I'm totally okay with it. I was with the same boy for a year and a half, but he became really manipulative in the last six months or so. He was really good at making me out to be way more sick than I actually am, and convincing me that I need him to get by. He really had me convinced that he was a saint for sticking around and putting up with all my crap.
But then on our vacation, I had an epiphany. Somewhere between him telling me that I was too wimpy to help move the cabin furniture and him refusing to let me row the boat because I was "too weak" and we "wouldn't get anywhere" I realized that I probably needed to be with someone who didn't try to be my hero all the time.
And for the record, I kicked his ass at rowing that damn boat.
So I ditched an emotionally abusive boyfriend this week. It was a hell of a way to spend spring break, but it was worth it. Way worth it. |

Hey bros and lady bros, starting tomorrow I'm going to be on vacation at the beach for five days (less boozerrific than it sounds) and IDK what my internet situation will be. What I DO know is that at least two of the five people I'm staying with actually live on Washington State time, so my online time probably won't sync up with the ~absolutionrpg people as well as we're used to. Hopefully I won't fall completely off the grid, but we'll just have to see.
In the meantime, I'm going to Hunger Games tonight at midnight, so my commenting may be slow to non existent tonight as well. Hopefully I can still get some playing done while Quentin is still fresh and new, though.
Best!

In four hours, my two week holiday will start. This means I will have as much time as I want to sleep and make-out with my boyfriend (who I have not seen in five. whole. days.) and have jam sessions with my music bros and app a bajillion more shiny characters.
I'm so shocked by this sudden realization that I can't even tell if I'm happy or not, but I suspect that I am. Secretly. Somewhere under all the pre-test jitters. |

My therapist just sent me an assignment to make something called a "surrender box," which you fill with ideas your head is too full to look at with the idea of reviewing them later.
So... she just asked me to make a pensieve. Cool.
Oh, also. This is completely unrelated, but this is my blog. It's probably not terribly interesting to those not living in the PNW, though. |

[Mar. 18th, 2012|07:57 am] |
I suck at apping actual bad guys. I usually play really good kids who just happen to kind of be assholes. But now I'm trying to app a member of the Inquisitorial Squad and it is SO DIFFICULT. I'm thinking about playing him kind of like I used to play Scorpius, but with a little less of the the tortured soul thing going on.
So here are some things I know about him.
