Anyone know when Glee comes back?

I've lost my brother. Not in the sense of being unable to find him, and he's not passed away...he's just kind of gone.

The person inside my brother's body is a stranger to me...to all of us. He has done a 180 personality wise and is addicted to pain killers. When we tried to talk to him about it, he screamed at us and threatened to do physical harm to us...His wife is strung out on them too, and is a real troublemaker. They are both deaf and suddenly, rather than working and living in the hearing world as he was raised to do...they' separated themselves off from family and now neither of them work...they stay high as a kite on pain meds all the time. This person is not my brother.

I want my brother back, but how do you get through to someone who just screams threats and walks away? My heart is completely shattered. My mother can do nothing but cry. She's lost a son as surely as I've lost my brother. I'm completely unsure how to deal with this...His wife won't let us talk to him directly or be around him without her there. They've stolen meds from all of us...won't work...and now they're planning to sell their truck and move to Florida where they will live with friends and off the system. I guess they've not considered that Florida drug-tests before you get benefits there.

Anyway...your prayers and good thoughts are not just welcome, but sought out. The whole situation is just a mess.

Of Hell...Work has become troublesome of late...partly due to my depression and partly due to my boss going off the rails into hatefulville. It could be worse, but I have never dreaded work before and I've been here for 6 years now...I just know tomorrow morning will be a struggle to get up and come in...and I hate that, so much!

Didn't one of you guys do a Tony Stark vid to Billy Joel's Big Shot? If not...why not? ;)

I seem to be missing my faith. I'm not having a crisis of faith, so much as it just seems to be gone. I see all these uplifting, spiritual posts and pics and find myself reacting derisively towards them. When did this happen? Why did it happen? I fight manic depression every day, and for quite a while now it has felt like I'm fighting alone...probably not the reality, but definitely the feeling. It's hard to believe that everything works out for the best in the end, when you don't see any improvement over the course of years. I'm struggling and don't know how to handle this. It just feels empty...like a dried up well, it echoes with emptiness. *I* echo with emptiness.

This is an older version than is currently being used by most companies....BUT, it will give you photoshop and illustrator, and is being offered FREE for both PC and MAC.

Literally sitting here with Christmas cards in front of me...if you want one, sound off! I love getting and sending these every year!!

There have been many heated words said on all sides of this presidential election, and no one side is all right or all wrong. I have been taken aback by the lack of respect shown for the office of the Presidency and frankly a little shocked at who was doing the majority of the mudslinging. It's time to move past all that now. I would not for one second entertain the idea is telling you WHO to vote for...it is not my place to infringe on your right to cast your ballot as your heart guides. All I will ask is that you DO VOTE. I know one little ballot seems so small in the grand scheme of things, but your one small voice could make all the difference. I know it may mean standing in line or being inconvenienced, but we are a country who is allowed to voice our opinion, and that is a right we should take very seriously. So please, I urge you, Vote. Don't care if you're a Republican, Democrat or Liberal, just please stand up and be heard.

Happy Halloween, y'all!! He's a little late making his appearance, but here he is in all his pumpkin-butted glory!!

Oh my god...you guys. I came to the Avengers fandom for Tony/Steve but my god I'm all over the Darcy/Clint stuff...I need more of this fix and I need it now! Hell...I'm all about Darcy/JUSTABOUTANYONE....I just love how snarky she is and that she has CURVES! When the hell did my life become about HET???

Anyway...I'm sitting over her in Avengerland waiting for you guys to rec me some awesome Darcy fic....Please???

Okay my friends,..someone on SV_Inquiry is looking for the following fic:

1. Alien overlord fic where Clark decides that Lex and Chloe are to be his mates/concubines/partners? and he was raised by the Kents.


I've read this. I just can't remember the name, but can remember more details...Lex and Chloe end up married...it takes both Lex and Chloe to work the controls in the fortress that allows Lex to work and Chloe to contact her father. Starts kind of non-con but ends up happy of course...in the fortress there are all kinds of rooms from Krypton, including a zoo. There is a beverage that Chloe ends up loving even more than coffee (I know!!)

So...I'd love to read this again...ringing any bells for you guys??

Okay...I give up. Where are you guys hiding all the good Avengers fic? I want slash...I want HET if you can believe that! I'm in love with this shiny new fandom, so come on...give....where is the good stuff??

Can any of you Sons of Anarchy fans point me to really good Jax/Opie fic? I've found exactly zero, and how anyone can't see the appeal of these two together boggles my mind! So pretty...kind of wish we could see Opie's ass as much as we get to see Jax's though!

Also...I missed last night's episode due to work stuff...so feel FREE to spoil me to your hearts content. I'll watch it tonight but still...WHAT HAPPENED?????

Okay. I give in! Y'all have been telling me for ages that Sons of Anarchy is a fabulous show (eyes titti)...and you were so so right! Jimmy loaned me seasons 1 & 2 and I've been mainlining them like crack for the past two days...This show is awesome. I have never been one to like tattoos on a man...in fact, they usually turn me off conpletely...but Jax? And Opie? They can move in today if they'd like!! For serious...if you haven't seen this show yet, run, don't walk!! Now...where can I find SOA icons???

Tonight I ventured out in public. Alone and yet not. See...part of my job is designing the football programs for several surrounding school systems as well as our own. I've done this for 5 years. This was the first year that someone actually extended an invitation to a game. To more than that, actually. She invited me to tailgating with the Quarterback Club and then to the game. It was...interesting. When she was there it was fun to yell and cheer for her son (who is an awesome player, scored the first touchdown and is a hot little piece of ass I tell you) and laugh and cut up. When she went down to the field, though, I felt alone in a sea of people. I know I'm not the first to experience this sensation, and certainly won't be the last, but it's unsettling. There were others there that I knew...but still I felt alone. I looked at couples my age and older interacting and realized that I don't have the first clue how that kind of relationship even works. My marriage ended early and ugly...as happens when you find out your husband has impregnated the woman you thought was your friend. I've had relationships since then...but none have stuck. I turn 46 Sunday. I truly never imagined living life alone like this, and yet, I can't even fathom how to create that type of intimacy and trust. Perhaps once that is shattered you can't get it back? I honestly don't know. This entire post has no real point, other than that if I don't get this out, I'll implode. In the past 10 years no one single man has even looked at me with any interest. Now that I've lost weight one has...take a wild f'in guess who? Yep. Ex-husband suddenly appears back in the picture...though I honestly don't know what he wants. I don't think HE knows what he wants. I just don't understand how this is my life. Where did I take the wrong fork in the road?
