urbandruidI have caught Mom's cold, alas. It's terrible. Very very sore throat, throbbing sinuses... Mom's is trying to go into bronchitis, but mine will try to go into a sinus infection.
Damnit. Didn't we just leave this party?
I still have my take-home essay question to answer for Soc, and the reading that goes with it. And some Algebra, which I'm probably going to put off till tomorrow, when I'll have tons of time, because we only have to do the multiple-choice part of the Soc test in class. Yes.
I hope like hell I feel better tomorrow, because I have to go to class anyway, and it'd be cool if I could pay attention and, like, learn stuff.
Played the Lottory last night. Alas, did not win. Woe! They say money can't buy happiness, and they're right. But it would buy my mother and I out of this apartment, a house of our own in a good area, or at least not a really bad one. It would also buy us a new car so that we could stop worrying about when ours is going to die. 'Cause it's gonna. And it would mean we would never again have to worry about being as poor as we were when I was in junior high and the first part of high school.
It's not the money; it's the security.
In a way paganism gives me a perspective on this. For whatever reason, it isn't time for us to leave the apartment yet, it isn't time for the house and the car and the cat and all the stuff we want. Maybe, I tell myself, the house that's perfect for us isn't out there yet for us to have. Maybe it's just not meant to be yet.
I tell myself these things, but then I get pissed off because people who don't deserve wealth and security always seem to get it without effort, and good people like me, like my mother, like my friends, have to struggle and struggle to get where they deserve to be.
Yeah. Life isn't fair. It sucks.
I'm going to keep playing the Lotto, though. Someday that ticket might have the winning numbers, you know?
Okay, enough of that. In unrelated news, I retired![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaina_muse from t_m; she and I just weren't speaking. pellaeon may be on his way out, too, but right now I'm just sort of ignoring him.
In Jaina's place I adoptedstarlight_mage; Galen. *hugs Galen and dances around the room with him* I love Galen. I'm having more fun already.
Also, Star was cool enough to give me joint control ofapocalypsebox, which is still cracking me up. Her, too, I think.
irina_derevko wants to run with the Nazgul (well, being Irina, she wants to lead the Nazgul), shadow_anna wants to adopt Draco Malfoy, and, oh yes, starlight_mage is this close to having words with Londo about Anna.
I need this kind of insanity. I need it a lot. And writing Galen instead of Jaina feels like I was meant to do it all along. I decided to go for it after chatting with Star a bit, and after I realized how totally pissed I would be if someone else snatched him up before I could. I'm surprised no one had, but then I've been surprised by a lot of characters that have gone unwritten.
Life is good, even when it's bad.

Date: 2004-03-28 03:47 pm (UTC)I know what you mean. If I had more time, I'd really love to do either Max Eilerson or Neroon or Harriman Gray, but I just don't have time. And then I think what if someone else grabs one of them up and writes them so far off what I wanted to do that I'm annoyed by it... Argh. *g*
Of course, Max is hard to write, and would constantly be snitting at Galen, and I didn't like the way Neroon got SO xenophobic after first season, and would have to figure out what Harriman's been doing with himself in the meantime...
Yikes -- I do not have time for a third or fourth pup~!

Date: 2004-03-28 04:13 pm (UTC)I love Max, but I'm no good at writing him. Ditto for Neroon, but I'd love to see someone pick them up at some point....even if it isn't by one of us.
The t_m thing is so addicting!

Date: 2004-03-29 02:31 am (UTC)I don't like xenophobic 2nd/3rd season Neroon... I don't like to see him fall back into what he was BEFORE he came to that understanding with Sinclair...
Although I love having him snit at Sheridan. :D

Anyway, so what about 4th season Neroon? *grin*

Date: 2004-03-29 09:38 am (UTC)*sigh* 4th season Neroon... Yeah, he redeemed himself in fine fashion. Damn it. I wanted that old cuss to live. I'm in denial.
oh!

I, otoh, am a European with an inbred fondness for tragedy. My favourite character is Londo (duh), whom I desperately wanted to be happy, but does that mean I'd want the horrible tragedy changed? Nah. Bring on the pain.
While we're story pimping, here's my own take on the Divided Loyalties aftermath. (http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1716391)
Re: oh!
Date: 2004-03-29 12:36 pm (UTC)An -- thanks for that link. Nicely done!
Re: oh!
Date: 2004-03-29 05:12 pm (UTC)Yeah, that's a good point, too. I mean, I like Londo, I'd like for him to be happy, but happy just doesn't work for some characters. And his storyline is so good as it is... I like a good tragedy now and then... But while I think it's necessary for Londo, I don't know that it was for Neroon.
He could have stayed alive, kicked more ass, and still probably been alright.

Date: 2004-03-29 05:09 pm (UTC)Yeah, I hear ya. He had just gotten really cool, and then... he died.
Oops...

He wouldn't -- what a horrible, awful, mean man! *g*
BTW, they want me to point out that they always play nice.

Oh, I'm sure that they do play nice... on their terms. But they named their ship Bob, so... ;)
