UPDATE: I'm not going to be posting here much anymore because, frankly, not many people like this ID who haven't already friended the other ID I've become. And, since I post my fic and icons elsewhere (see below)--well, there's really no point in posting to this journal anymore. This may change; I don't know. Only time will tell. I'm just adding this to the profile because people are still friending this journal and I really have no clue as to why, though I am grateful for the interest.

Big thanks to blondebitz for the custom icon!

Thanks for your interest in my work!

I am a single white straight female Christian Liberal Republican who believes in gay rights and gay marriage, and that people should be allowed to do what makes them happy, as long as it is not hurting another living being emotionally or physically.

AND I VOTE.

This journal is going to be only for fan-related info and responses to memes my fan friends post to their journals...and the occasional personal shit if it's bad enough, especially if it's fan related.

Basically, I just try to be a good person, try to treat others as I would like to be treated, and hope to receive the same in return. Unfortunately, I have Asperger syndrome (translation: if I make a social error, please take me aside privately and inform me politely rather than humiliating me in public because I am most likely unaware I have done anything wrong) complicated by severe depression, so neither of those things happens 100% of the time. I am not only incredibly gullible and therefore easily fooled by people pretending to be my friends while manipulating me into an elaborate scheme to make an ass of me, but I am also extra sensitive and prone to misinterpret people's intentions...and because I *have* been taken advantage of so many times...I am extra paranoid...particularly after the most recent incident in February 2007.

But, if you'll give me the chance and approach me gently and quietly and allow me to respond in kind, I think you will find me to be one of the most honest (sometimes awkwardly so), loyal, devoted people you could ever hope to know....

Unless you can speak of nothing else but how much you hate George W. Bush or how much you hate Christians or how it is an ungodly sin to put a dog on a chain in suburbia for him to do his business or how all hunters must die a horrible death at the hands of armed deer....

Then, we might have a problem. *deceptively sweet smile*

FUR IS WARM AND MEAT IS YUMMY! *clears throat* sorry. just hadta.

TWO CHOICES:
The deer die a quick, humane death from the accurate shot of a hunter, OR
they die a long, suffering death of starvation from overpopulation.
Hmmmm. That's a toughie.
Hunters are animal lovers, too.
In fact, when there aren't any deer around them, they pass the time enjoying the other wildlife. Some even fall asleep because it's so peaceful and relaxing for them.

PLEASE DO NOT FRIEND ME IF:
1. You are going to post about my journal posts in your journal, claiming that no one will know about whom you're talking when people are already commenting on your post that they know about whom you're talking, and start a big to-do throughout the journal community against me as a troublemaker when all I did was post in my own journal.

2. You consider depressives to be "whiners."

3. You are going to respond to a positive post in my journal with something negative.

4. You are anti-USA especially if you are anti-US or British Troops (and therefore against my cousin and his comrades), DON'T YOU DARE FRIEND ME. (I am fine with people who are anti-war, as long as you do not comment in my journal with put downs of Bush or the US/British troops.)

Thank you for respecting my wishes.

IS THIS YOU?
(If you and I are conflicting somewhere in LiveJournal and you intend to use the following against me because you feel I am sustaining the argument too long, do please grow up [and read the upper half of my profile again]. The following are regarding people who exhibit most or all of these behaviors on a regular basis, such as my father and a few other choice people I've had the displeasure of knowing in my lifetime. In other words, quitcher wankin'.)

Ways People Abuse:
Tell lies and half-truths to avoid having to justify actions or ideas
Accuse and blame to divert attention away from themselves
Refuse to take another's point of view and irrationally defend their point of view
Withhold whatever they can to prove how "powerful" they are and to punish or control: money, food, repairs, shelter, etc...or even just information so the abused will look bad later on ("you should have known that.")
Not sharing information someone is entitled to
Not acknowledging another's needs or feelings
Slighting or getting in digs in a non-aggressive or joking manner. Allows the abuser to say he was just kidding while still being abusive.
Changing the subject to divert attention either to or from themselves, depending on what suits their needs.
Making someone feel worthless in an attempt to lower their self-esteem and bring them down to the level of the abuser.
Threatening or hinting of physical, mental, or sexual abuse.
Controlling others to domineer and limit the freedom or expression.
Denying success by placing unreasonable demands.
Unjustly singling out or constantly placing someone in the category of a loser.
Taking advantage of one's weakness or using shame, guilt or fear against another.
Manipulating another person against their will.
Cutting some one off so they are not allowed to speak.
Eliminating the abused's ability to choose.
Inappropriate questions/comments to evoke emotional response
Humiliating someone in front of others or inappropriately pushing their buttons
Pretending to understand your concerns, and then disregarding them
Slandering someone's name, reputation, associations or activities

If that's you, you are NOT my (or anyone else's, for that matter) friend. GO AWAY.
