Found this on someone else's blog: what priviledges did you have?


( Social class )

The odd thing, though, is that I have more of the actual knowledge part from the "lower class" section in the social class heirarchies that are part of the references. I don't know or care where a fish fork goes, or what what the names of golf tournaments are-- but I certainly know how to wash my whites, and I know more about powertools than handbags. But maybe that's just my personality.

A lot of people are apparently upset to read this sort of list, or embarrassed at having so many check marks, or angry at it for saying they had it better than a lot of people. I don't really see why. I mean, I think it's great that my parents were able to provide the life for me that they did. What I had was awesome. I got to be in Guides, I got to be in violin and piano and singing, I had parents who'd both been teachers. I was able to grow up in a way that makes me confident that I can do whatever I want to do. What kind of brat would be ungrateful about it, especially when it was brought to their attention that others didn't have the advantages they had? My biggest gripe is that all children should have access to these experiences (as many as possible, anyways).

Silly people.

Thanks, mom and dad, for giving me a great start in life! Well, and nona, and grandpa, and everyone else. I am extremely lucky. I know it. And I'm certainly not ashamed of it. Sheesh.

Get Stuffed, Snape!

So the starting orders for the first JGP are up and there will be at least lots of men's footage, IceNetwork has confirmed they're streaming everything NBC isn't bothering with (my kingdom for some bandwidth!), and it looks like the new season is officially beginning. A few random wishes:

Tanith and Ben win the World title. Or at least perform that Falling Slowly number somewhere where we can get a decent clip of it.

Johnny and Yu-Na also win. Or least perform together again at some exhibition or other(Grand Prix Finale! You know the audience will scream for them.)

Chris Mabee makes Worlds. Or at least Four Continents.(I like him. I can't help it).

Melissa and Denis show up at some point. Or at least debut that sexy new threesome number with Johnny they've apparently been working on at some point or other.

NBC gets a clue. Or at least doesn't erase the existence of pairs entirely.

Rating: PG
Warning: None
Summary: Remus never minded reporting on the werewolves when it was Severus waiting for him at Headquarters. And then, one night, as they mapped the growing pack territory, it finally happened...
Prompt: 30 -- Tea and fireplaces and cardigans, S and R comfortable together. Planning stragegies during the war, maybe, or lesson plans during the school year. Tenderness, hands touching, first kiss.
Notes: I tried to get as many of the pieces into the prompt as possible. I think I managed everything but the cardigan, which refused to cooperate and insisted on making Remus look like he has breasts! LOL

There's a very good, long NY Times article about a science teacher in Florida here, following his struggle to improve standards and teach his students evolution. Since the NYT is screwy, I'll cut and paste below if you're interested, but it's worth going to the site to see the pictures. ( Read more... )

Oh look, there's hope!

Unlike this Giants game, I think. Still, we just won 4 in a row, which has totally got to be our season best.

The only other thing I have to say is... LULZ FALL OUT BOY <33333333333

I've completed all the matching, and I've entered all the assignments into my spreadsheet, and so now... assignments are about to be emailed!

Please keep an eye on your in-box over the next few hours, and once you receive your assignment, please don't forget to reply to let the mods know you got it.

I anticipate the process will take about 4-5 hours, and I'll update this post once I've finished sending out all the assignments. If you haven't received your assignment by tomorrow morning, please email snupin_santa @ yahoo.com to let us know ASAP.

ETA: Done! All assignments have been mailed, so if you haven't received yours and don't receive it within a few hours, please let us know at the above email ASAP.

So the Olympics are over, and all of the suddenly the first JGP's about the start, and French TV is showing it, and possible even streaming it online! But today I had another fannish obligation to discharge, and I made my way through to the Hoffman to see Clone Wars. Thankfully missed the pre-show, sat through the previews(including Harry Potter!), the title moniker appeared-and then the fire alarm went off and the movie stopped.
Turned out they were testing the alarm system. Why they needed to do that in the middle of the afternoon I prefer not to know. Then we had to wait a few minutes for the movie to resume. ( By then my expectations were so low... )

I've just posted some new icons on my journal. Some Snupin, some solo, a couple of other pairings too. Like this:

I posted this on Saturday at LJ... Sorry to all those who have already seen it and thank you for the wonderful comments!!

Title: Morning After the Full Moon
Artist: Xterm
Rating: PG
Pairing(s)/character(s): Snape/Lupin
Challenge: Fantasy Fest: 43. -- S & L entwined intimately with the branches of the Whomping Willow. No mustache or facial scars. Like long hair.
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me, wish they did... but all the wishing in the world will not make it true
Warnings: Nope, I'm one of the queens of PG slash LOL
Notes: I realise the desire was to have them intertwined but I rationalized in my brain that Snape would be there helping Remus back from his transformation, so it is intimate but not sexual. Also, no, I did not actually take this and get assigned but I did clear this activity through _lore.

I loved the arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner I've been hearing this past two weeks. I was expecting to get sick of watching random podium ceremonies, but I couldn't when hearing that. Much more beautiful and stirring than the version I've been hearing watching footage of figure skating podiums. But to hear a composer was plagiarized for it....well, I suppose that's all you can expect given the people who have actually been running these pretty games. And as for the claim that it's not macho enough, well, I hope the organizers in Vancouver ignore that nonsense and borrow it for their own games(with proper credit given, of course). I want to hear it with Johnny on top of the podium at least once and you know the USFSA ain't going to be submitting it to anyone for use.(And wouldn't that be if a laugh if Evan won and then had to deal with it!)
