Six Month Hiatus and September 11

Okay, before I start my tirade about the six month mid-season hiatus, I must say this: I had not realized that I had missed September 11 or I would have said something. It is a tragic day that we remember and though we must always remember the innocents who died unknowingly and the men and women who bravely fought to save them, we must also be able to move on from here. Whether or not "America is safer" doesn't really matter. It's whether or not we can live our lives freely and confidently that matters. So that is just what I suggest we do: live on with those we lost always in our hearts, if not in our thoughts.

Peace be to those who lived but who have lost.


Now, about this six month hiatus. I had heard, but refused to believe, that this was even possible. But I just learned about it today and all I can say is--I AM GOING TO GO FRAKKING NUTS! No Atlantis or SG-1 for SIX MONTHS??? Okay--no NEW episodes for six months. Still--in the middle of dramatic cliff hangers? I am going to go crazy. Atlantis better come out on DVD damn quick....

Okay, peace be to thee and all that jazz.

Fan Fiction

I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with this blog because, unlike David Hewlett, people will not be flocking here to read what I have to say. So while I'm trying to figure it out, I'll use this as a blatant attempt to advertise my fan fiction. :D It's available at McWeir, FanFiction.net and WraithBait. Check out the links on the side and peek at Captain Peregrine. When you're done reading that, check out all the other great fiction. There are some awesome authors and some wonderful stories--actually, quite a few. So head over there and take a peek. It'll at least give you something to read during math class.

Autumn

Yep, it's Minnesota and it's fall--well, almost. Technically we haven't got there yet, but it's cold and windy and wet so... yeah, it's pretty much fall. Which means the germs are FLYING! My sister's already got a cold--dragging her around the windy Ren. Fest for ten hours probably didn't help, but she had fun. In any case, this means I'll probably be the next one to come down with it, and with work and school that is really going to suck. Yeah, sister's got the same problem, but let's face it--college and high school are two different things. Though it's not like I've been doing any homework, really. I've been in school for about... two, two and a half weeks and so far I've only done English homework. Oh, well. I'm bored, it's cold... there's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Okay, guess that's all for now. Stay happy, stay warm--or cool, depending on where you are--and stay safe.

Starting Fresh

Okay, this is my second attempt at a blog. My first blog was a forced attempt for English class--yeah, I never understood it, either...--and I never really enjoyed it. But now I've abandoned the prototype (I should never have kids) and now hope to have a blog that I actually visit on a more-than-once-every-six-months basis. Hopefully. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I'm not just filling up space. And who knows--maybe I'll even have useful stuff to... no, that's really stretching it. Anyway, if you've happened to stumble upon this... well, sorry. Escape while you still can.
