Life Goes On

Anyone have "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" that they wouldn't mind uploading for me? I'm in need of a serious dose of LIFE GOES ON. Thanks! :) Thank you, wanttobeatree!

In other news, I am a lazy, lazy woman who does not want to be at work today. Meh! I keep thinking maybe by this time a couple of years from now, I'll be a teacher starting summer vacation. :D

I got a couple of tags done over the long weekend and tried to work on a few of my in-progress fics, though none of that went very far. Question: is it even worth finishing and posting an Ava POV fic set during AHBL 1 that was subsequently Joss'd, or should I forget that and work on something more currently relevant?

Relatedly, it cracks me up that I'm still getting new comments on the J2 badfic I wrote several weeks ago. I'm considering forgetting about regular writing and just writing badfic all the time. *g*

Yeah, no.

TBTB are more than a little bit deluded if they think I'm gonna pay $22 for a seven-episode "season" of Jericho, particularly since there's no third season forthcoming. That's not a season, people; that's a slightly extended miniseries.

There's water falling from the sky!

Because Alex IS special.

A Florida Kindergarten teacher led her students one by one to tell a 5-year-old boy what they didn't like about him -- and then let them vote on whether he should be allowed to stay in the class. The student, Alex Barton, is in the process of being tested for Asperger's Syndrome and other possible special needs. So far, the school district has only reassigned the teacher while an investigation takes place.

If you're as outraged and disgusted about this as I am, please take a few minutes to contact the St. Lucie County School Board at webmastr@stlucie.k12.fl.us, or call Lucie County Schools Superintendent Michael J. Lannon at (772) 429-3925 (fax #: 772.429.3916, email: lannonm@stlucie.k12.fl.us), or contact the school principal, Marcia Cully at (772) 337-6730 (email: cullym@stlucie.k12.fl.us) and tell them so.

Because Alex has been repeating the phrase "I'm not special" since the incident, there's information here about a card-writing campaign to let Alex know that he IS special.

In far less maddening news, this video neatly encapsulates 90 percent of what I love about Supernatural. Yes, it's a country song (by a band called Rascal Flatts), but they're awesome, so please don't let that put you off watching it.

Bwahaha I love youtube today <3

November, 1987. Somewhere on this football field, part of the band tunnel, wearing a plumed hat that gave her horrible helmet hair and carrying a clarinet with a "BEAT CLEMSON" sticker on it, is a 19-year-old hanncoll. \o/

*dies* And I just remembered that that's the game we snuck my younger sister into; she carried my clarinet and marched in with the band because it was the CLEMSON game and tickets for that one are impossible to get.

Creation says Samantha Ferris is too 'working class' for them

Hrm...looks like Creation screwed up (I know, I'm just as shocked as you are!)

From Samantha Ferris's blog:

I should clarify for you here, Carrie....this is certainly no attack on the volunteers...i know the long hours and hard work you put in and i respect you all greatly put in.....my frustration is with the guys putting it in. I find there antics a bit slimy and not 'above board', I'm afraid. Can't speak for the other guests, but after the convention in Chicago (which we rocked at) i was told that i would not be invited back because they heard me say on stage that i was a bartender in the past and they thought that was a little too 'working class' for a guest on their stage. Then they invited me last minute to LA and renegged for reasons that weren't clear. For the Dallas convention, we had a deal, they promoted my appearance and then backed out on a couple of details. So we had to bail out. So you can understand my frustration, right? LOVE the volunteers at conventions...it would never happen without them and they do it all for no money. My hats off to them all.....but the boys at the top need to check their 'decency meter'.....cause it's a bit low.
Wow. Said it wasn't going to dish...and there i did. kinda felt good...in a mean, slightly bitchy kinda way......but its all true and i stand by every word.

Emphasis mine, and wtf, being a bartender is 'too working class'?

From here.
