Well, there goes my good mood for the day.

NYTimes, the bastion of quality reporting, reported on the gang-rape of an 11 year-old girl in Texas  that's led to charges against 18 high-school boys so far - all well and good so far, right?  Shit like this NEEDS publicity to raise awareness. 

Only problem is, they repeated - without refutation or critical commentary - the claims that the girl brought the rape on herself because of the way she was dressed.

Choice Quotes (No cut b/c everyone needs to see this - DEAL.):

“It’s just destroyed our community,” said Sheila Harrison, 48, a hospital worker who says she knows several of the defendants. “These boys have to live with this the rest of their lives.  As opposed to the victim, who's gonna bounce back lickety-fucking-split, right?

Residents in the neighborhood where the abandoned trailer stands — known as the Quarters — said the victim had been visiting various friends there for months. They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said.  TOTALLY BEGGING FOR IT.

THIS IS RAPE CULTURE, PEOPLE.

Now, what's being said and done in this community is bad enough, but the NY Times should be fucking ashamed of themselves right now.

Here's how to contact NYT: )

Hurrah!

 Bought a new controller for my playstation!  It works well, and actually fits in my hands better than the one that came with the console.  Walmart did have ps2 controllers--thanks for the tip, [livejournal.com profile] laetina !

Too tired to play much of my ps games today, though.

 Just made a musebox for our rp, [livejournal.com profile] laetina !  We'll post there, to keep Fr's journal from getting cluttered.  :3  Just be sure to let me know Mirth's username before joining, so I know to approve you.

It's

 Am feeling somewhat better, but am still finding it hard to do things that require mental energy, like reading.  But I went to McKay's with Mom anyway!  And bought a bunch of books!  Also a FF game, number 12 I believe.  [livejournal.com profile] laetina , is that a good one???

Also I think my BG2 is borked a little.  My mage has no access to her spells, despite having rested numerous times.  But my new, sorcerer, character, has access to his spells after resting once.  I think the mage class is borked, or at least the elementalist mages are.  Stopped playing BG1.  Too hard.  BG2 is a bit easier, especially with a sorcerer.  Magic is awesome.

Anyway, the rp!

Rp stuffs in here... )

 Switched from Kotor to Baldur's Gate.  Kotor was really good for expending nervous energy, and BG is not.  I mean, BG seems to be a good game and all so far, but there's something about it that makes me anxious.  Also it's really difficult to rp in BG.  The support characters I'm attached to emotionally aren't the best team set up, and I might have to switch them out for a better party...  But like I said, I'm emotionally invested in them, even though the necromancer only has four hit points and I've been PKed by four kobolds.  AD&D-style kobolds too, not those scary 4e kobolds.  If the party doesn't get tougher they can't fight what's getting thrown at them, but if they don't fight they won't level up and get tougher...  GAH

Still don't have the energy to rp Fr. Gil.  Maybe I should withdraw him temporarily from the rp or something.  gah

My doctor's putting me on yet another medication, so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.  Still can't do anything.  Everything ether makes me anxious or is boring.  UNHAPPINESS

FUCK

 GAH

I've been playing Kotor, and putting up with vile bugs, but no more!  There's a sudden evil fps minigame that I can't get past.  It's so unlike the rest of the combat!  BAH  I was really enjoying the game, too!  But I suck so hard at fps.  D<

 Had to explain to my ex again why I don't want to date him.  Hopefully second time's the charm.

Am glad he asked again, in one way, because it's been weird getting the sense that he's interested in me without knowing if it's socially appropriate to bring it up.  I mean, he takes me out for dinner, yeah, but he takes his guy friends out too.

I hope it won't affect our games though--he's the GM for the cave-age game, and my ride to both of them.  I don't know if he's actually a nice guy, or a "nice guy", ya know?

Bah.  Fretting until Thursday, I guess.

UGH

For some reason I feel like shit.  Seriously, I can't make myself read, write, draw, or even play games for any length of time.  I mostly just lie there.  Everything I normally like doing holds no interest for me.  I thought I was feeling depressed cause I was having a problem, but the problem got taken care of and I actually feel worse.  I don't understand.  Maybe my meds need readjusting again?  Ugh.

So over this.

This is a beautiful question, and I want to save it for in case I ever have the answer.

In other news, I passed a flock of robin cousins out exploring on my way to church.

I've decided to put Fr. Alp and the Lanternist stories on hold until I can think of more definite plots for them.  The Fr. Alp has a few scenes I know happen, and an idea for an ending, and that's it.  The Lanternist story has a vague plot.  They don't even equal a whole story when put together, lol.

When I was brainstorming for the Lanternist story, though, I had an idea for another story.  OTL  Honestly, I have ADD when it comes to stories.  But this one actually has a definite plot laid out, so I think I'll focus on it for a while.  I even have vague ideas for a sequel, which just...  Brainstorming, I think I'm doing it wrong.

This new story is about a prince who wants the throne.  Original, I know.  This particular prince wants the throne because he was the crown prince, until everyone decided he was a changeling.  He was fairly content not having the actual throne--he was just going to try to manipulate his younger brother--but then the king basically has the scheming prince kidnapped and dragged off to a monastery to get him out of the way, and the prince decides he's going to go for broke and try to become king himself.  I don't want to give the whole plot away, but this meets with some complications.  The idea for the sequel basically picks up where the first book ends, and has some people with magical disguises and whatnot.

Started writing both the Fr. Alp story, and the Lanternist story!  I finally have a plot idea for the lanternist one. :)  Still no real plot for Father, but eh.  I'll write what I got.

Lanternist one will be a little more formal tone than most of my writing.  Am so excite about lanternist story!  *bounces*
