Reason #430 for coming to Canada: the excellent healthcare. (It's just a blister that hurts a lot and has some antibiotic stuff taped on it, but empath_eia said it looked like part of my foot got cut off and I taped it back on, so I'm going with "chainsaw accident.")

Was in the supermarket with empath_eia yesterday (yes, we are totally going to be Those People, the annoying types whose journals consist of schmoopy shout-outs to each other) I saw copies of Cassandra Cla[i]re's books. I didn't know whether to squee for her (dammit, I'll like who I wanna like) or be very embarrassed for her now that after all the shitty things the Internet has said, her books...

Well, dealing with some RL stuff that's been very stressful. empath_eia has been a rock, like some kind of diamond that lols at pressure. ♥ I want to say, "It's made it hard to be happy" that I have this thing going on, but it isn't that at all--it's all too easy to be happy, here, and every time I smile or laugh or just plain feel good, I feel guilty, like I shouldn't be distracted when...

I'm having a recurring problem. Watch series. Enjoy thoroughly. Love every character. See amazing fic potential. Go into fandom to see if anyone's written anything awesome for this series. ...and I'm greeted by a wall of negativity. Character hate, writer/creator hate, entire fucking series hate. Dude. People. I am here because I loved this series. You are here...why, again? I'm getting really seriously...

 i've managed to document some of the best fanfiction i've ever read. some of these writers are so amazing, its a travesty not all of them get the recognition they deserve.  i've left ratings on all the fics- ratings are given by their authors, and not my opinion of what the rating should be. some fics are  R/ NC-17 - this means that it has been classified as 'M' under fanfiction, which is the equivalent...

So, been meaning to post for a while, but I think everyone's getting thoroughly bored of my road posts. I haven't been taking pictures, and I guess it's one of those things where you just have to be there? Could be wrong. Things that have been cracking me the fuck up the past few days: 1) Groogery Hoose. I seriously cannot think these two words without starting to laugh at least a little. Say it...

So, I've seen three of the Great Lakes (Ontario, Huron and Superior. LOTS of Superior) and some cool landscapes and Winnipeg sitting amongst the prairies where "you can watch your dog run away for three days." Or Winterpeg, as the locals apparently call it. Went through a blizzard on the road here. Kind of amazing, considering when I left the Hudson Valley, it was 90 degrees and in full blossom, flower...
