They think I don't know a butt-load of crap about the Gospels

So I've come to realise that on this journal I don't talk a lot about what I'm very passionate about (aside from slash and Alan Rickman heh). A few things happen to be Animal rights, and I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat caged animal products. Equal rights, equal education rights, and... this big one that I've been campaigning against in RL for a while:

The end of diamond sales. Because all diamonds purchased are blood diamonds. If you go to a diamond park and dig up your own, fine. But if you go into Zales or Fredrick's or Jared, you're buying a blood diamond and supporting the desecration and torture of innocent Africans.

Like the article says, the only way to stop blood diamonds is to stop buying them. Boycott diamonds!

(What is the price for these diamonds)

Besides, Opals are way prettier than diamonds!

Now, if you want to comment to argue against my point, please don't. Whatever your logic on THAT is, it's not going to change my mind. I've been round and round those arguments too many times and at this point I'm just going to ignore it.

But please, look over the articles and see what the diamond industry is doing to these men, women and children. Think about this next time you ask for that tennis bracelet for your next anniversary. Please!

I have fibroid tumours that have to be removed, so because of this I've opted to have my tubes tied because I really don't endevour to have a litter of children. Three is plenty thankyouverymuch.

I was at the doctors for my preop appointment and we were discussing my options. Previously I had thought that ivasive surgery was necessary, two tiny incisions because it's just done with a scope.

However my doctor told me about a new procedure that goes in through the cervix and they insert coils into my fallopian tubes which causes the tubes to scar and close rendering me basically sterile (99.% effective which is the same if they were to cut and tie off the tubes)

I wasn't previously concerned about the incisions as they are very tiny ones and I've had much worse, however I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar procedure and might offer some advice.

Also I've never been put "under" before and I'm utterly and completely TERRIFIED of this. Any advice on that?

Love you all so muchly for any words.

Title: For Which My Soul Did Pine
Pairing: Remus/Severus
Rating: PG13
Summary: Remus Lupin escapes to the Muggle World after the war but cannot escape what he has always longed for.
Warnings: Not really canon compliant with HBP and DH but it doesn't really matter that much. It's just a short ficlet.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own these characters.
A/N: Just a little ficlet I've had swimming round my brain. X-posted.

( For Which My Soul Did Pine )

First, somehow Adia pushed a bunch of buttons on the laptop and now my internet explorer is in really HUGE font and it's quite annoying but as I am an internet!moron I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone help?

Second here are some spring pictures I took of Adia outside today since it was nice, borderline bloody HOT with the sun beating down on us and everything and actually by about 2pm we had to venture back inside. I hate the desert.

Anyhow here you are. ( super image heavy )

:o)

I want some chinese food. /random

so for my writing class I have to take this thingy my prof emailed me (four characters and a basic plot) and create a 300 word document page monster out of it. basically, hey students, write a bloody novel by may. So I asked him if I could post on fictionpress and he said yeah and then he made a class project out of it so now we ALL have to post on fiction press. Heh.

So if you're interested here is mine called O Soul We Must Be Meek and it's got all my typical original fic goodness, slash and stuff. yay. Read if you fancy and leave a review if you do. I never get reviews there.

Pairing: Harry/Draco/Severus
Summary: Harry and Draco live quiet lives. But when will things ever remain that way for those two?
WARNINGS: DH compliant except EWE. Secondly there is a strong warning for an obscene amount of cursing. I, myself, swear like a sailor and I find it slips into my writing.

A/N: Now, this fic was written as per request by pombagira who gave me some life-saving help on one of my hideous assignments. She asked for some Harry/Draco/Male (my choice) pr0n. This MONSTER fic is what came of it. Go figure. X-posted.

My 7 month old is... well... seven months old. Plus I have four final exams tomorrow, this week I had to complete the end of my practicum for my teaching degree AND I had to study US History (blerg) so that's why it took me so long. Fun, right? Anyhow, this is the end, R and R if you will. Oh and be warned, the end has like a whisper of a kind of sort of DH spoiler and apparently there ARE some people out there in this fandom who haven't read it. Oh and x-posted.

Pairing:: Harry/Cedric
Rating:: PG13
Summary:: My take on how Goblet of Fire should have been and ended.
Warning:: Character Death (though not who you might think mwahaha)
Disclaimer:: I don't own anything HP.
A/N:: So this was born of me watching Goblet of Fire like a bajillion times, which is a dangerous thing to do, believe me. It's obviously school-age Harry and Cedric so it's not pr0ny or anything. I'm also not quite sure how well I succeeded at making them sound like teenagers since it's been AGES since I've written a teenage!harry fic. Oh well. :) Enjoy.

( Together or not at all )

Okay well Adia just erased my entire post, which kind of sucks because I hate retyping. I'm cutting in case you don't want to read about RL and this is a major rant dealing with the psychosis of John's Mother.

( BlaBlaBla )

In other random news, (my attempt to lighten the mood after all that) Isabella is going to be five years old in a week and a half! FIVE! I can't even believe it. And Just two weeks after that, Christian will be seven. Two weeks after that is my birthday and oy vey I feel old. LOL.

Thanks for listening, if you did.

When it rains, it pours. I think I've said that before, here or at my LJ... or maybe myspace.

Yesterday Adia and I decided to take a leisurely trip to Phoenix, which is about an hour and a half north of where I live. About forty minutes into the trip, right near a little thing... town or whatever it is, called Toltec, kaboom. Radiator in my car goes boom. Well at this point we're not sure what it really is. It overheated horribly is all I know.

So Adia and I are stuck at the Chevron/McDonalds for an hour and a half while John gets tools and drives to meet us. Needless to say we both fail at making the car go. Lame. And it ruined my happy little mini-holiday. Fucking car.

So on the way back John, who we all know and accept the fact that he's an asshole, starts being a jerk to a cop who was driving behind him. When the cop went to pass him, John sped up so the cop couldn't pass. So what happened? Well if you said "Pulled over" then you guessed right! Luckily, though he IS a jerkoff, the cop let him go with just a warning. It might have to do with the fact that a semi-respecable, if not slightly frazzled woman and her baby were in the car with him and not some drug-dealing punk.

We get to John's mum's house, John buys a new radiator for my car. We eat pizza and then Adia and I go home to wait while John and his butt-fuck-buddy go to try and fix it. They fail. He comes home all angry and yelling at me for taking a trip. He's an asshole.

Then about four am I wake up to severe stomach pains. Then some ickiness ensues. Oh yes, my friends, I have E.Coli. And it sucks my left nut, let me tell you. So now I'm in my house, suffering, the baby is cranky and John is off trying to tow my car back home so they might (or might not) be able to fix it.

Boo.

Me = Fail at Life.

While I enjoy a nice youtube snarry fanvid like any proper fangirl, it really creeps me out when they use footage from any film before GoF. And the worst is when they use PS/SS footage because he was like eight years old or something when he made that. *ew*
