Three birds, one stone.

I know a lot of people are suffering to no end because of the inclement weather and for that I am sorry. I know people are probably stranded with cabin fever, maybe even without power (in which case, um, damn, son). But as bad as that is the people of Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation have been without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks. No, that's no typo.

I know people have been emptying their pockets for help_haiti, which just goes to show the power of fandom, but if anybody's got a few dollars left that that they might want to throw this way for Emergency Assistance (or here via Piryx) to help these people or could even just pass the message on to people that might be able to help that would just be amazing.

It will never cease to baffle me as to why people feel the need to read and comment on stories they clearly don't like. Is your 'back' button broken? Do you really think your rudeness is so invaluable? Why would you say 'I didn't really like this story, I don't think you're a really good writer, but whatever, I read it.' Or better yet, "Everybody said this was good, but I just don't agree." I just... what?

Can someone tell me where manners went to die, becuse I'd like to put flowers on their grave?

In less irritating news, since I missed this when it was going on, I'm doing it today:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

Oh, and since this is my all-inclusive post, anybody have the new Sade, Corrine Bailey Rae or Massive Attack albums to share? SCORE! Thanks sugargroupie and jcase!

I think I've had you on my f-list since you were writing O.C. fic. I'm not sure how I found your journal, or why, but you are the reason I shipped Seth/Ryan like I did. I watched the first season of Southland because of your rec.

People are rude, and I'll include myself in that, because I never really take the time to say that I love your fic, through many, many, many fandoms now. <3

South! Land! South! Land! *runs around waving her Southland flag* Excited what? And you know, I don't mind people not commenting on my fic, but I do take exception to people being deliberately rude, that's just not on in my book.

I've totally missed it since the move though! And I didn't even get to watch the last episode that NBC aired. DVR fail is the worst of all fails.

There's no call for people to say at least half of the things they do in general. I'm the type of person who keeps quiet on the off-chance of offending someone, because I always think it's better to not.
