ozmissageSo I kind of abandoned Facebook a month or so ago for the sake of my mental health. I was never crazy about the concept in the first place, so I figured I would leave it sooner or later anyway. Today I get an email from Facebook scolding me for not logging on recently. Seriously, it was like you have a message and one of your friends took the which my little pony are you quiz, you are missing things. How dare you not update your status in a month?
Um, excuse me Facebook, but I was under the impression that I could you know do what I want. I’m considering deleting my page entirely, but I feel that would annoy some people so I guess I’ll just have to deal with Facebook interrogating me about my whereabouts every few weeks. Social networking sites are so clingy.
In other news, I’m supposed to be working on fic, but I couldn’t resist the lure of the WIP meme. I had forgotten I started a few of these.
The WIP meme: post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.
1. It was a nice story, one he now realized must have been modified at least a little seeing how he had never heard the part about how he was born on a magical time-travelling island.
2. She had kept Sawyer steady when he threatened to crack, she had cared for Charlotte when her mind turned against her, and she had guided Daniel when he seemed to forget how to walk, but most importantly every time he looked to his side she was there.
3. Desmond Hume woke up in 2004 curled against a cold rock, his hand clutching sand.
4. It was all horribly domestic and strange for an ex-junkie and a former fugitive who had only sort of been friends when they were stuck on a not-so-deserted island.
5. He understands when he touches his stomach where his own blood had been just moments before; he understands that even though he can’t see it, the blood (so much blood) is still on his hands.
6. The alternative was sleeping with Ben and she had had quite enough of sleeping with a man she hated for one lifetime.
7. Charlotte had little patience for most of it, even then she believed there was far too much magic in the real world to waste time on make believe.
8. She reaches down, her own fingers tracing the angry, puckered scar of a bullet wound on his thigh and says, “It’s alright, that was another life.”
9. She sees everything at once; in a moment of clarity her entire life opens to her like a book.
10. “You show me a con man that can’t dance and I’ll show you a man that best be looking for a new line of work.”
11. Oh God, she thinks, I’ve killed them all.
12. “I ain’t got time for games, Red; if I’m not dead I got somewhere else to be.”
New Being Human tonight!!! Can you tell I'm a little excited?

And did you hear that Pandora now wants to charge you for music when you listen to it for more than 40 hours in a month? Have they not heard of free radio?

Pandora fails. If I want to pay for music, I will buy it off itunes thank you very much. The internet is getting too big for its britches I think.
