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 currently have two different fics of yours on my ipod, just because i know that they will make any train ride/bus ride/car trip/boring class/waiting of any sort three thousand times better, and they never, ever fail. (i have get some (the gk high school au) and son is on a midnight run like deniro, in case you were wondering.) everything you write is imbued with this sense of reality, which is amazing, because it stays there through ari and transformers aus and anything else you could possibly write. the words you choose say so much in so little, and it's amazing how you make what the characters don't say just as essential and interesting as what they do say.

i haven't friended you (for unknown reasons -- i think you are just too cool), but i check your lj and get very excited whenever there is anything new. so, thank you!

(also, the fic where nate and brad break up? it breaks me. every. single. time. in the best way possible, but still. breaking.)
