As we move closer to a House vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination, we need to burn up the phone lines to Congress, and let them know that ENDA is next, ENDA is NOW! We must let Congress know how important ENDA is to LGBT people and all those who care about equality. With your help we can end job discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Tomorrow is the National Call-In Day for Equality. It’s the day when we flood Congress with our calls demanding equality in the workplace. Tomorrow, talk to Congress. Call them at (202) 224-3121. Give your zip code and ask to be connected to your Senators, and then your Representative. If you haven’t contacted your elected officials, NOW IS THE TIME. Let them know that you support ENDA and you want them to support it, too. If you already have, please do it again.

Prefer to email your representative and senators? Click here and urge them to pass ENDA.

Talk to your friends, family and neighbors and let them know. Start with the simple opening: "Did you know that Congress is considering workplace legislation? Did you know that only 40% of the country is covered are clear laws protecting LGBT people from discrimination?" Ask the people in your life how they feel about that. Then tell them they can help protect people from discrimination based on who they are--ask them to take action.

Share this event with your friends and family and ask them to join this event and pledge an email or phone call to Congress.

It just takes a minute to do your part to end discrimination in the work place.

So I play Vampire Wars over on Facebook, and there's five special limited edition abilities available for Halloween, and all are based on Horror classics. There's Blood-Soaked Vengeance (Carrie), Hierophant Transformation (Pinhead), Bile Spew (The Exorcist), Hyde's Rage (Jeckyll and Hyde), and Clown Frenzy (IT)

In order:


yuuo and I together recognized all of these off the bat except for Bile Spew, so I went googling. Since I knew all the others were based on horror movies or novels-turned-movie, it was likely that this was a horror movie reference. I had nothing else to start with but that and the name of the ability.

So I googled.

The first result made me blink, stare, then begin laughing hysterically.

What if one day, you wake up in a world too perfect to be real, with no memory of who you had been or how you got there, and there seems to be no one else but you. Little by little, you begin to remember your life, but what if it turns out your life never existed, and neither did you, because nature put some of man's interference to right, and you died, long ago?

This is the world in which [MAIN CHARACTER] now lives. It seems that the only future for her is one of empty nothingness, ceasing to be at all, because how can there be a future without a past? But as she starts to remember the life she had once lived, she begins to seek a way out, and uncovers a surprising truth.

Now... I just need to figure out names.

Over on blue_dragon, I posted a new story idea that I'm going to be doing for this NaNo. (the urban fantasy is going to be done next year -- I need more than just October to worldbuild this, I realized.)

I have an idea for a title, and while knowing the plot outline wouldn't hurt, it's not necessary for this poll. I'm looking for what sounds the best to people, what might be more likely to catch their eye on the shelf.

I was originally thinking "Chronicles of an Imaginary Mind", but I'm not sure if that's the word I want.

The title now is thus:

________________ Of An Imaginary Mind.

EDIT: As of now, it's looking very likely that the title is now "Requiem For An Imaginary Mind". If you like the sound of this one too, vote for 'other' and put in Requiem.


Poll #4514

What sounds best/catchier in the blank slot to you?

It's friends-only.

The current definitions of paranormal and supernatural are things that cannot be explained by science and it's questionable if they exist.

For the purpose of this poll, pretend the ability to do magic, people who can transform between animals and human, people who have mutant-like abilities, etc., have suddenly begun coming into existence. This is now proven in the scientific and medical communities. You work for the government, and you have been given the job to come up with classifications for the following groups. What would you classify as what? If you have other suggestions, I'm all ears.


Poll #4478
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Someone who has inborn special abilities such as telepathy, shapeshifting, extreme strength or speed, etc.

Someone who has studied and mastered magic, but has no inborn abilities like above

Someone who is not human and does not modify appearance into human, such as a Faerie or Elf

Someone who is not human but can take on a human form at will, and has a second form of an animal; i.e., wolf, tiger, dragon, eagle, water buffalo

I didn't forget

Dear Main Bad Character,

I am so glad you're finally deciding to give me information, like, oh, I don't know, your NAME, which has been a big mystery and pretty important because I can't keep calling you Main Bad Guy in my story even if it would help pad my word count.

But you did not just in all seriousness tell me that your ultimate goal in what you are doing is to go after the President and other members of the cabinet.

...you did.

WHY? Oh, I know why, but... WHY ME? I WANT A SIMPLE MYSTERY NOT SOMETHING CONVOLUTED AND INSANE.

And I know why you're doing what you're doing in order to get access something to pull off your real goal.

YOU ARE A HEADACHE AND I WILL KILL YOU. I SWEAR.

No love,
The Author

<ZChaos> that was a disturbing commecial
<ZChaos> a man on a busy downtown public street was arguing with his reflection in the glass about talking to his doctor about erectile dysfunction before going into a clinic
<ZChaos> and the reflection's all "WE CAN DO THIS! :D :D :Db"
<UOChaos> ............................................
<UOChaos> I think the man needs to talk to his doctor about schizophrenia before he worries about his dick.

It's been TWO YEARS since I last wrote a fic, not counting the Nightcrawler x Gambit I wrote in exchange for a Waja. The last one I wrote and posted was October 29th of 2007.

This isn't inspired by anything recent. In all honesty, it's inspired by two things: Jacob's Ladder and an Emily Dickinson poem.

It's short, and not my best work, BUT BY FUCKING GOD I WROTE AND FINISHED SOMETHING.

A friend over on Facebook linked to this video, and man. On a purely visual level, the video made me think of Silent Hill 2 in some regards. The song itself, I looked up the lyrics and immediately recognized the case that inspired it (mentioned in the second footnote).

lilin, this might be up your alley.
