7.) Favorite Quest

These are my PERSONAL opinions. You can agree or disagree, but...

Thu, 23 May 2013 16:18:31 -0400

Brave- because of all the hardships she had to endure. Facing the forest, huntsman, witch etc. Independent-because she has no one. Yes, she has her animal friends, but they can only help her so much

Adventurous- she spoke to strangers, she went out of her comfort zone. Fighter- she fought for what she wanted out of life.

Strong- she has a strong heart and endured a lot. Standing up to Beast, Gaston etc. Intelligent- she knows what she wants out of life. She wants to marry for love, not because she needs to

Leader- she did as much + more as the other leaders in her movie. She made two worlds come together. Believer- she did what she believed what was right for her and her family. She believed in change

Passionate- she is passionate about her dreams. Tough- Rapunzel is tougher then we give her credit. She left her castle, stood up to mother gothel to name a few instances.

While she was mad at her mum, she truly did care for her mother, father, and family. She cared also about herself, which is not a bad thing.

These are my PERSONAL opinions. You can agree or disagree, but telling me I chose the wrong words is not what I’d like you to do.

(Also sorry that Snow’s word is in all caps. I forgot to change that before I saved it).

Why smart lesbians read (and write) fan fiction | AfterEllen.com

A rather interesting article. If you don’t want to read it, know that there’s a Rizzles e-card as an illustration ^^

I don’t know why I’m so late to realizing Heather Hogan is a generally awesome writer (I mean I knew she was awesome, I guess I need to pay more attention to the bylines on Afterellen articles)

“But fan fiction is more than a safe space where lesbians can understand and embrace their sexuality; it’s also a safe space where lesbians can explore their sexuality. The very best fictional worlds and characters come to life in our imaginations, lingering long after we close a book or turn off a television.”

“We lose ourselves in stories, but we also find ourselves in stories. Fan fiction isn’t just a way for us to gay-up straight characters (or sex-up gay characters); it’s an exercise in molding narratives that resonate with our unique life experiences.”

6.) Your Warden’s Story

Oh, which Warden to talk about, I wonder? Decisions, decisions…

Well, for all intents and purposes, my favorite Warden would probably be my Cousland, Rayna (something which surprises me, actually).

(Just in Case: WARNING! There are spoilers ahead!)

Rayna Cousland, human noble rogue, was always a bit different than other ladies at court, not only because of her love of the sword but also due to her love of ladies themselves. After the death of her family due to the traitorous Rendon Howe, she swore revenge.

Her growing attraction to Leliana drove her to distance herself and, in turn, spend more time with her friend and fellow warden Alistair who, of course, fell for her charms. Upon his confession of love she vowed to pledge him her loyalty, if not her love, and forswore all others.

It’s not until the night Morrigan performs the ritual to save the Gray Wardens that she acts on her feelings for Leliana, though both know it cannot last.

After slaying the archdemon and surviving, Rayna marries Alistair and becomes queen of Ferelden.

(Also, due to a weird glitch, Rayna actually completed both romances, Alistair AND Leliana. It was weird, but awesome.)

“My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn’t understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I’d sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I’m sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe.”

BIkers Against Child Abuse Helps Make Abused Children Feel Safe Again

“A biker’s power and intimidating image can even the playing field for a little kid who has been hurt. If the man who hurt this little girl calls or drives by, or even if she is just scared, another nightmare, the bikers will ride over and stand guard all night.

If she is afraid to go to school, they will take her and watch until she’s safely inside.

And if she has to testify against her abuser in court, they will go, too, walking with her to the witness stand and taking over the first row of seats.”

During one such testimony, a little boy sat on the stand, testifying against his abusive father, who sat less than 10 feet away.

“Why didn’t you say anything before now?” Asked the prosecutor.

“I was scared.” The little boy replied, honestly.

“Why aren’t you scared now, what changed?” The prosecutor watched the little boy closely as he pointed to the front row of seats in the court room.

“Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

This is almost the best thing in the world.

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don’t have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend, the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. The dogs loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog (Calypso) decided the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn’t acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company’s web site,

This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.

Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey’s, and they claim that “It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won’t eat it.”

*Snopes site gives the following information:http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp

.asp>

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman’s Garden Supply and other garden supply stores contains a lethal ingredient called ‘Theobromine’. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.

Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker’s chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

**PLEASE PASS THIS ON**

the Cold War is basically just the United State and the Soviet Union saying how big of a penis they have but when it comes down to it neither of them actually want to flash the other to show for fear the other actually does have a bigger penis

Holy shit, that’s spot on

I don’t post faulty penis analogies so of course it is

what if with our first clot of air when we are born we inhale a soul, and every time we breathe out, we squeeze a tiny part of our souls out. would our final breath actually be the very last soul fragment leaving our bodies?

Woah woah wait

you know those things that say “you become like the 5 people you hang out with the most”

that would explain why, because you would actually be inhaling little parts of them over time

OMG PASCAL! He is the damn cutest chameleon in the world! I loooooved Tangled. And The Princess and the Frog too. My friend and I constantly quote it to each other because it's hilarious. We also sing "Les Poisson" from Little Mermaid to each other too...but we're strange like that. :P

OMG, I randomly burst into verses of “Les Poisson” too! It’s one of my favorite Disney songs to randomly burst into! It’s right up there with “Dig A Little Deeper” from The Princess and the Frog!

But I’ve always loved Disney music; I literally have a whole collection of it on my iPod.

Disneyyyyy!!! Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, and Pocahantas were always favorites! Lilo and Stitch too!! Belle, Ariel, Meeko, Stitch, Kuzco, and lots of others are my favorite characters!! I was Jasmine one year for Halloween too....even though I'm such a white girl. :P

Mon, 20 May 2013 13:06:00 -0400

Oh my! Beauty & the Beast and The Little Mermaid are my two ultimate favs! I also loved Mulan, Brave, and Tangled as well as Bolt (though it took me a LONG time to watch it) and of course Lilo and Stitch!

Character wise I love Belle, Ariel, Stitch, Pascal, Cri-Kee, Yzma, Ursula, and Megara (and dozens of others, lol).

Lol, that sounds adorable! I was Ariel for one Halloween (a distinctly brunette one) but still :D
