I got home late from work because the last kid in my Mad Science class was picked up over a half hour late. Obnoxious parents. Made me too late to make it to the caucus. Fucking Kansas with its fucking caucus. Seriously, a caucus is the DUMBEST thing in the history of modern politics. Maybe it was a good idea back in the old days... the VERY old days... but not now. Anyone who is working during the exact time of the caucus can't go. I want to be able to go to the polls before work if I'm working late, or after work if I'm working early, cast my damn ballot, and then leave. But no... I've got to be in line by a certain time in the evening, and if I'm late, I can't get in. And then, I'd have to stay for however long it takes to argue and pester and badger people with opinions to sway them to my side. That's STUPID. I've already made up my mind, and if a person hasn't made up his or her mind by the time they arrive, then why the hell are they voting? *sigh* Whatever.
The way I figure it, I've talked to tons of people before today, swayed some people, discussed issues, and made my impact that way. You better believe that I'll be voting in November when we're allowed to have real ballots. But this caucus thing... fuck. I've got a horrible headache, and even if I'd gotten out of work on time, I don't know if I could handle the caucus process right now when I want to get the hell away from most forms of noise and human life. Why can't I just get a piece of paper, write down my choice, and leave? That's what normal people in normal places do, right??? Oh, Kansas... I smite thee.
So, I'm sick. My mother was a teacher for twenty years, and she told me that the first year she taught, her students gave her every flu, cold, and other minor illness going around. I'm teaching with Mad Science, and so I'm essentially a petri dish for every virus and bacteria that those little walking incubators called children are carrying. I feel like crap. Head hurts. Tummy ache. Sinuses. Nose. Sneezing all afternoon. I need love. I keep seeing this

Date: 2008-02-08 04:58 am (UTC)I registered at fictionalley but I havent been on it in a long time and thus forgot my username. However I just read the last chapter to your Harry Potter fanfic Eclipse. It was wonderfully written and I want to thank you for hours of entertainment.
I was wondering - have you written the sequel yet, or are you still planning to? Thanks =D

But I'm glad you enjoyed Eclipse! It's a constant amazement to me that people I've never met have read it, and that I'll meet people at random places who have read it. It's... really cool. :)
Are you active in fandom? Conventions?

Date: 2008-02-08 06:09 am (UTC)Do you imagine you will finish it anytime soon? or..er..update? O.O Im afraid I dont find many well written, multi chaptered Harry/Draco fics. Have you read Irresistable [sp] Poison? Wonderful!
Well Im active in a few fandoms. Harry Potter is probably the biggest but I have yet to go to any conventions. =3

There are a lot of other really good, chaptered H/D fics. I can find some quality recs lists for you... but not right now. Bed time. Exhausted. Talk to you tomorrow, perhaps? Yahoo messenger? :)

Date: 2008-02-08 06:20 am (UTC)I've read a bit of the SS XD interesting stuff. Its just hard for me to find good long HP H/D fanfics. Ive found a few but theyre hard to find, burried among badly written fics. I would love a rec list! =D Sadly I don't have yahoo, I do have MSN tho XD or you can simply e-mail me forpadfoot@hotmail.com
