sundries, Christmas edition

[rm]

Right now the weather says the severe weather won't start until about 3pm here. If things aren't too backed up in the morning, I have hope I will get out and get to Patty.

Holiday gifts included Final Draft, marzipan, and some cool clothes.

The Tron kinkmeme is hilarious. It's more prompts and people agreeing with prompts than stories right now, but what people want seems to fall into a few categories:

- all non-con all the time (see: Clu/Tron)
- Alan has guilt (about whichever character they have him sleeping with this time)
- Daddy issues (it's not just the incest requests; it's also in a lot of the Alan requests, and in the Quorra/Flynn requests)
- Crack (largely involving the MP3s (played by Daft Punk)).

Weird, weird shit. V. funny, if you're kinda strange like me.

Here is another excellent example of the world I grew up in/around and perhaps I should just point to it forever more when people say "why do you feel inadequate?" People like that were normal. If you weren't them, if was your fault. I'm getting better, but it's still hard work.

Okay, time to sleep. I have to get up early and hope the weather cooperates.

But she needs something really tragic in her backstory. Something involving Orcs or DeathEaters.

Still, she has done something with her life, even if it was just following the script laid out for her.

Yeah, but who thinks this might lead to her having a rebellious period when she's forty? Like, she has the required lifestyle, amount of kids, and husband-and like suddenly she goes on drinking binges and has affairs with the help. Crazy rich lady syndrome.

Or instead, she'll just disappear into a shell of prescription painkillers and vauge physical ailments, like Southern upper class women tend to do. It's a traditional cover for years of smothered feelings and disappointment. Either of these seems likely.

Don't forget some sort of severe reaction when Hubby is partially responsible for whatever economic collapse happens 40 years from now. Not towards possibly having to live on less, but having a mental BSOD at the realization that doing every "right" didn't protect her from the random tragedy that can hit anyone and everyone.

Totally hear you on the feeling "inadequate" front, rm. Folks tell me I'm smart, but I never took calculus, haven't been playing the cello since I could sit up, didn't get into a magnet school that nearly everyone I knew got into, and had a mild nervous breakdown/case of mono from hell that led me to drop out of a major that was herd to get into. I quit, which one isn't "supposed" to do, but I am happy in a career I love, which isn't "supposed" happen to quitters.

Needless to say, if I was bullshat on those two things, what other things have I been mislead about in my life?
