What you carry is no curse, but a gift. Like any gift, it can be used for good or evil. If you use it wisely and kindly, it will bring only joy, and never sorrow. Trust your heart to guide you. Take your shame and offer it to God. Let him burn it away until only what is pure remains.

Technically this should say “ghosts” not ghost… but anyway another favorite quote! :D

ARG stuff

for the people following at home we usually update over here for the most part. BUT, if you want to see some IC-ish entries and silly things for
PanemOctober for which we’re a citizen of District 11 and TheCapitol.PN for which we’re a citizen of District 3, you should follow our network-ish account on dreamwriter-emmy. We will TRY to reblog our posts over here too. :)

Hoping to hell we don’t get disappointed

Hoping we get a phone call tomorrow from that program. :/

we have our hopes really high-set on it. Not sure what we’ll do if we don’t get in for the fall trimester.

It sounded like we might get in when we talked to the coordinator. Probably call on Wednesday if we don’t hear anything by Tuesday.

Tomorrow is neaten up LJ/DW and maybe meet the post count for MA so we aren’t eternally locked out of posting our own introduction. (the one downfall of being eternally a forum-lurker—we are terrible at forum ettiquette for some reason so we usually AREN’T very active on forums).

LOL. The harder aspect is figuring out who wants to be on the forums. Some people aren’t really interested, just like some folks aren’t interested in Tumblr or Twitter.

He is anywhere I am. He is inside me, and my brain closes around him like hands around a warm drink. In fact he’s more a part of me than my own limbs, because even though Amundsen’s dog ghosts sink their teeth into my cut thigh, they can’t reach deep enough to rip out Titus. And oh, I am so glad of him.
Even though no one else in the world can find me now, he is never out of reach. Even though Time is a one-way street and it’s not taking me anywhere I want to go, with Titus I can travel to and fro through Time….

“The White Darkness” by Geraldine McCaughrean


This is that YA book we always rec if people want a good description of plurality in the soulbonding department.

so excited!

OK, so it’s only saturday, but whatever. On Tuesday we go home and set up our netbook to be a desktop. :)

The only downfall of this is that we won’t be able to be up till ridiculous o’clock talking with people on IM since the computer will be in a public access area.

Our christmas list planning now involves a cheap webcam though.

Trying to convince Anshin to play Portal and Portal 2.

Because apparently Caroline/GLaDOS is now a headmate. HOW she hasn’t met/been murdered by Chell yes is A MYSTERY.

Anyway Ansh doesn’t want to play Portal because he knows that Cave will move in. I want this to happen.

I DON’T >:\

-Ansh

BUT THE HILARITY. THINK OF IT.

Also no one here is talking to Caroline. 
—PM

That’s amusing… »; We have a Caroline/GLaDOS over here too….. She talks string theory and quantum mechanics with 3 wizard cats (guess the fandom, though I bet I’m the only one in the plural community who reads this damned book series), a plant-man (guess the fandom!), and a fallen angel as part of our on-call system-management team (basically internal tech support… And we have no idea in hell where she’s from canon-wise if she’s canon at all, but at least she’s proving more helpful than harmful. )

weird question to the multiverse

Has anyone been in a psychiatric rehabilitation/recovery education program/wellness and recovery adult education program? Working on applying for one at one of the local universities, but really nervous about it because the program website doesn’t say much about what this kind of program is like beyond very broad topic categories of classes.

And my ask box is open if anyone prefers replying privately.

This might get posted in the asks of a couple of the support network blogs if I can work up the courage to send it in… :/
