two hearts beating as one

Sorry — this post is extremely rant-y and personal. 

Anyone who's ever talked to me knows that my mother and I don't exactly get along. She doesn't really take into account my feelings, and usually it's not that bad, but.

I have something that is similar to this. It's a bit broader and a lot more extreme. I've been working really hard to get better and not be so on edge about it all the time — I spent so much time worrying about these things that I could have that I was making myself sick.

Now, my mother is fully aware of this and was in the room when the doctor was discussing it with me. She usually laughs about it or accuses me of making it up for attention.

Today, I got into the car after school. The first thing she said to me was, "So, I did some research today."

I responded with 'okay'. I didn't ask what she'd researched. She told me anyway.

She proceeded to tell me a number of different illnesses/diseases/medical problems (cancer, diabetes, et cetera) and said she'd cross-checked our family history and proceeded to tell me my chances of getting them.

It didn't take me long for me to start freaking out. Before we got home, I was crying, had my hands covering my ears, and I was begging her to stop. Her response was to speak louder.

Last week, I started a calendar, counting down how many days until I turn eighteen. There are too many.

Telling you that doesn't serve much purpose, but it does explain why I'm still shaking, almost six hours later. ;_;

— 

Other than that, my life is still sucky. I have about twenty things due, due dates falling between tomorrow and Sunday.

But guess what? I can't get my goddammned ass off Tumblr and all I want to do is write Jem!fic. ;_;

And I need to get a title for Jem!fic.

— 
Sorry about this. :3.

I said I was going to do this every day.

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I am so bad at committing to things. . .

In my defense, just tomorrow, I have due: a four page paper on SOPA/PIPA, a discussion board and questions on a creepyass Faulkner story, a debate about culture and life, and LLKGSDJGLKDSJGLKSDG SOMEONE SAVE ME.

All I want to do is finish watching Friends With Benefits and work on Jem!fic, but Jem!fic is on a different computer. ;~;

WHY DO I SUCK SO MUCH. D:

So, I heard this song called 'Forever Yours' by Alex Day. You've probably heard of it; apparently I'm late to the party. D:

I'm trying to figure out why I like this song so much-- it's literally been playing in my head all day

It's a weak start; his voice annoys me and the beat isn't the best, not to mention the lyrics in the first verse, etc.

. . . and then it hits the chorus, and wow, I'm in love.

The chorus is absolute love. And then it starts to better, and then I'm just like, "SO ALEX CAN I MARRY YOU?"

But no, because he's British and too cool for me. D:

But just. . . go listen to it (again).

So. . . mandatory post? 

I'm watching John Green break up with this girlfriend (kind of).

Because watching year-old videos of YouTube is a hobby of mine. X3

*dances*

And John Green is teaching me how to go to college, now.

Originally posted by [info]dynamicsymmetry at Congress wants to take away your internet.
Folks, I know you're tired of me yelling at you, but you should be aware that there's a hearing this morning being held by the US House Judiciary Committee on a "copyright" bill that will essentially break the entire internet.

You like the internet, right? I mean, you're here.

From the link above:

As drafted, the legislation would grant the government and private parties unprecedented power to interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS). The government would be able to force ISPs and search engines to redirect or dump users' attempts to reach certain websites' URLs. In response, third parties will woo average users to alternative servers that offer access to the entire Internet (not just the newly censored U.S. version), which will create new computer security vulnerabilities as the reliability and universality of the DNS evaporates.

It gets worse: Under SOPA's provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users’ activities. While PROTECT-IP targeted sites “dedicated to infringing activities,” SOPA targets websites that simply don’t do enough to track and police infringement (and it is not at all clear what would be enough). And it creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just the “U.S. authorized version”).


This is being framed as an attempt to fight hackers and pirates. Don't buy it. And don't think for a minute that it's going to stop there. This is bad. And at the hearing today, only one opponent of the bill is being allowed to testify.

Please do whatever you can to fight this. Email congresspeople. Sign petitions. Yell about it in every venue you can.

And/or

It's weird, writing this when I know that no one is going to read it. XD

I've told myself that I'm going to post at least once every day. I sincerely doubt that that's going to happen, but I might as well try. :D

Most post subjects will be song titles, and I love you if you know them.

So, yeah, I'm here for fic.

It's also 3:40 am, so I'm a bit out of it. ;_;
