Does anybody happen to know why Zoulless went through and deleted all their stuff?

I don't know how much more of this I can take and I wish I had some conclusion now.

There are a number of us here who at one time or another have felt suicidal, and several of us who are survivors of one or more actual attempts.

But let me state the obvious.

Nonsensical laws concerning the age of consent.

Bear with me, if you will, for this may turn into a rant or not... it remains to be seen.

Today is the big 70 for me, and all things considered, it beats the heck out of the alternative. Those who knew me as a teen looked at me, shook their heads and said, "That crazy SOB will never see 30". Well to all of them: Raspberries!

I'm still around and going strong, and whats more I've had fun every day of my life. Though I gripe and bluster a bit on occasion, What's the point of being 70 if you can't be a little curmudgeonly once and a while? But I want you all to know that I love and respect everyone here and that you are all my adopted family.

Has anyone heard or seen anything of my compatriots, Alys and Ceri?

Julina's next word sketch will be delayed.
Unlike what appears to be my second childhood.
Seems to be starting early.

The doctor just diagnosed me with Scarlet Fever!!!!

This is just great. Not only am I fighting a bloody cold that wont go away, now I'm fighting PTSD flashbacks as well .....

Bradley Manning, the soldier who released classified documents to Wikileaks' trial is now in the sentencing phase. Apparently, he is using as part of his justification for acting as he did that he is transgender. The stories I've read on different sites and heard on the news seem to conflict in what he is asking for or saying. But basically, as I understand it, he is using his claim to be transgender to indicate some level of incapcity which should have a bearing on his sentence. (I am using he and not another pronoun since his claim is confusing).

The Getty Museum has begun scanning and placing their collection of artwork that is Public Domain online. That means there are a lot of neat pieces of art that may be used free without seeking permission from them to use it. They ask that you credit them for scanning it in your notes. I know a lot of individuals look for artwork for their stories here, so I thought I would share. You would definitely need to resize the images from their current size to use though (easy with Gimp or Photoshop). Anyway, here's the link to their press release, and a link to the gallery!

I just had a shocking conversation with my mom. I was on the phone with Jaci, and apparently my mom remembers me coming home from school in a dress at age 13 and doing a little twirl for her. For some reason, this is making me tear up ...

was reading an interesting story here, and one of the issues the main character went through was struggling with bathrooms - they looked female, but identified male, and didnt feel comfortable using the girl's facilities, especially for gym class.

I seems like everyday is normal until your birthday comes along, and everyone gets excited about it. People celebrate it with you, your family especially. Right?

Today is our own Maggie Finson's Birthday! Happy B-Day Maggie and may all of your Birthday wishes come true!

And cake! Don't forget the cake! LOL

Labyrinth had its moments, but for me nothing can beat the 'waltzing dress' scene from Ridley Scott's Legend.

It is sheer cinematic perfection.
