[Dec. 31st, 2023|12:23 pm] |
As of August 16, 2005, this LJ is Friends Only. I like to keep my friends list small, populated only with people I am close to and care about. That said, I'll friend anyone who asks, at least on a trial basis. |

| The Office Canon Couples Mix |
[Jun. 11th, 2008|04:02 pm] |
So I finally finished my The Office canon couples mix! It only took...what, months? I got stuck on Roy/Pam, Darryl/Kelly, and Andy/Angela for awhile, but...I think I'm proud of the way it turned out. I want to give mega props to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) 823freckles for all the help she offered during the making of this, too. <3
9 tracks | 2 Front Covers & 1 Back Cover | Spoilers for seasons 1-4

P.S. 823freckles made a mix that goes along with this for all the non-canon couples, so check that out. :) |

| Feminism: Why Insane Radicals Shouldn't Be Allowed in the Club |
[Mar. 25th, 2008|10:39 am] |
I haven't posted in a few days, but it wasn't because I was striking (I'm still not even sure what that whole thing is about). I just didn't have much to say. But I do now.
This post was brought to my attention recently, and I'm really having a hard time keeping my mouth shut. For those of you who can't be arsed into reading it, basically this woman, a radical feminist, claims that Firefly is anti-feminist and that Joss Whedon is a rapist.
I'm sure you're expecting me to be up in arms over her insulting Joss or something, but honestly, I couldn't care less about that aspect of it. What I take issue with is her definition of rape:
I believe in the radical feminist definition of rape. That is that men who pressure women into sex are rapists. That women who are pressured are not freely consenting and are therefore being raped. [...] I would argue that most 'sex' between men and women, in the contemporary 'sex-positive', pornographic, male-supremacist culture, is rape.
As someone who was violently raped when she was eight years old, I am offended at her definition of rape. If "Oh, honey, not tonight...well, okay," is considered rape, then we're going to have to invent a whole new word for what happened to me and what happens to millions of other women around the world.
I posted a response to her post, but she has her journal set to screen comments until she chooses to unscreen them, so I am posting my reply here on this journal as well because I am so...unbelievably offended and angry right now that I feel like I have to do something.
( My response. )
I'm not trying to start drama or whatever, but as someone who was a victim of sexual assault, I feel like...like I have to say something to this girl, or no one else will.
And what's more, she's saying that any male/female sex is rape, just by definition. And that it is impossible for a woman to love a man without it being degradation.
Sorry, but that's bullshit.
And don't even get me started on how she claims that no white man can be in a relationship with a black woman without abusing her. Racist, much?
The real gem is when she insists that Joss's wife must only be staying around for the money or "patriarchal concepts of love," but money isn't as important as, "self-integrity, self-esteem, love (sister/lesbian/gynaffectionate love), etc." She's basically saying that the only valid love is between two women, and that male/female love doesn't exist.
It's women like her that give actual feminism--which is about equality, not man-hating--a bad name.
I'm sorry, I realize this post is long and preachy, but as someone who is a victim of rape, I am offended and enraged by her comments, and I couldn't not say something about it.
P.S. I'm making this post public, because I'm not going to be accused of hiding behind a friendslock. If someone wants to argue with me, then bring it.
Edit: Hahaha! Looks like someone isn't above lolcating this cunt.
Edit #2: dancinbutterfly's post about this chick can be found here. She addresses a lot of the things I didn't, and I highly recommend you check it out. |

| Going on Hiatus |

| [ | mood |
| | cheerful | ] |
As far as I know, I'm caught up with my flist, so I'm going on my hiatus now! I will continue to update my LJ (mainly because I want a record of how I was feeling just before omgthelasthpbookever and also I've got a post half-done about all my theories and what I hope will happen and the questions I want answered), but I won't be checking my flist or going to any other website or listening to any podcasts or doing anything at all that could lead to me being spoiled. I absolutely refuse to let it happen this time, so I'm going underground and not emerging until after I've read the book. If it's an absolute emergency, you can e-mail me, but I'm only going to read e-mails from people who I know won't be spoiling me. (I also won't be responding to comments, either...or reading them, for that matter.)
So...there we go! I'll see you guys after Deathly Hallows! |

| Dante's Cove Vid |
[Jan. 22nd, 2007|12:43 am] |
| [ | Tags | | | fanvids | ] |
| [ | mood |
| | accomplished | ] |
Title: "Welcome to Dante's Cove"
Fandom: Dante's Cove
Pairing: Toby/Kevin, Ambrosius/Kevin, Episodic of the pilot episode.
Song Used: "Dying to be With You" by Eric Allaman, Adam Iscove, and David Iscove
Details: .mp4 format, plays in QuickTime, iTunes, video iPods, and VLC Player.
Warnings: NWS images, male on male sex (roughly equivalent to what you've seen on, say, Queer as Folk), some male nudity (again, nothing you haven't seen on QaF).
Summary: Welcome to Dante's Cove. The year is 1840. Grace, a Tresum witch, is set to marry Ambrosius Vallin. Just one problem. When Ambrosius promises Grace that he could never love another woman, he means it. Why? Because Ambrosius is gay. When Grace catches Ambrosius and his houseboy having sex, she kills the houseboy and chains Ambrosius up in the basement of her home, cursing him with old age until a young man kisses him, thus restoring him to his former self. Flash forward almost 200 years. Toby and Kevin are two of the gay residents of the Hotel Dante, Grace's former home, and they're in love. But when Kevin hears Ambrosius's call and tries to rescue him, Ambrosius gets his freeing kiss, and power over Kevin. What's more, Ambrosius put his two hundred years of imprisonment to good use. He spent the time learning Grace's craft, and is now skilled in the art of Tresum, too. What will happen now that Ambrosius is free and has Kevin under his spell? Here's hoping this video will make you want to watch the rest of the series to find out. (Note: This show is the first gay horror show and airs on the here! network. It is often equated with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Queer as Folk," though in my opinion, I would add "...meets Dawson's Creek" into that.)

| Happy Birthday, Mom! |
[Jul. 23rd, 2006|05:19 pm] |
For those not in the know, today is the 40th birthday of my mom. Barbie, Barbara, Babar, Barbo, whatever you want to call her, she's still one thing. The best mom in the world.
She's my biggest idol. I hope that one day I can be as strong and as independent and as amazing as she is.
She is the bravest person I know, simultaneously my greatest supporter and my source of inspiration. She makes me want to be a better person.
Even more than that, she's not just my mom. She's my best friend.
I love you more than you'll ever know, mom, and I just wanted to let you know that on your special day, since I won't be there to relentlessly tease you about the big four-oh tell you this in person.
I hope you like your gift (though I already know you do...sorry, couldn't wait!) and that you have a wonderful day with Johnny & the girls, and that your birthday rocks.
I'll be back to see you on Sunday, mom.
♥
Kaci.
(P.S. I asked the people on my friends list to comment and tell you happy birthday as a sort-of surprise. Hope you got a laugh out of it. :-D ) |

| wtf...GRIND FIC? |
[May. 3rd, 2006|01:35 am] |
So um...yeah. I should not be allowed to watch Grind. Nay, Adam Brody shouldn't be allowed to act in it. Why? BECAUSE EVERY ROLE THAT BOY TAKES ON ENDS UP BEING THE GAYEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Yeah. Also, I mean, come on, he's rolling around on a bed with Matt and Matt grabs his ass and he grabs Matt's manboobs and MY GOD GAY.
Why am I ranting about this?
Because I just wrote 310 words of GRIND fic. Yeah. Shoot me now. I'm not putting it in my ficjournal, I don't think, cuz um...yeah. Besides, it's just a drabble, but I'm putting it here. Enjoy, or don't. Crappy fic from a crappy movie, methinks.
Title: What
Pairing(s): Dustin/Matt, Eric/Jamie, implied Eric/Dustin
Rating: I'd say PG-13
Warnings: Written in 2nd person.
Disclaimer: Warner Brothers owns them, not I.
( You tell yourself that it’s because it’s Matt and Matt’s a royal fuck up, that he’s only going to break Dustin’s heart, that you’re just being a good friend, being protective of him, but deep down, you know it’s something else. )
Let's hope I've gotten that out of my system, yeah?
So...I'm driving the bus to hell. Who's with me? :-D |
