Forgive me LJ, for I have sinned....

[spatz]

It's been 13 days since my last entry. And I missed my own one-year LJ anniversary, which was apparently on the 15th. However, I did start writing a Twelfth Night fanfic, because my school did a performance of it and I was pissed that Shakespeare never told us what happened to Antonio. It's not like you can go ask the guy what he was planning to write, since he's (sadly) several centuries dead.

On the plus side, I'm coping well with sleep deprivation, and I finally have a list of colleges I'm applying to. Homecoming pictures will also be scanned and available to my flist as soon as I get them developed. I had a red vintage dress that was very sassy and fun, and I cut my hair to mid-neck.

I'm not thinking about the election. I'm not worrying and losing sleep. I'm not thinking about the 4 hours of campaign volunteering I still need to do sometime between now and Nov. 2, while writing several papers and going to Houston and RenFest. *smacks self* Most definitely am not worrying about my total lack of life and love interest.

A Conversation Following Yoga, Between Myself and the Evil Twin, While Severely Whacked Out On Endorphins and Blood Oxygen:

Dad: Okay, so we're getting breakfast tacos for dinner. And ya'll can have some fruit, so it's remotely healthy. I think we have some bananas.
Me: Bananas with breakfast tacos? You really have no taste buds, do you?
Lindsey: It's the cigarettes.
Me: Ya know, those grow back in a couple of days, or a week, after you stop smoking. Same thing with the cilia in your lungs.
Lindsey: Ah, but cancer is forever.
Me: *giggles madly* (starts humming the DeBeers diamond song) And then, you can have a silouhette with, like, a lump....
Lindsey: *can't breathe*
Dad: (to Mom) Aren't we so glad they went to yoga tonight?
Me: But I have oxygen in my brain. It's very exciting. Aren't you excited?
Mom: *snarky sideways look, with excellent use of eyebrows*

Ah, dinner discussions. My family takes them to whole new levels of randomness.

Your family sounds about as insane as mine is. And that's frightening. Very frightening. *nods* And your current life sounds even more hectic than mine - for which I am thankful. Between Erica, Anthony, my potential love life, volunteering for the democratic headquarters here, volunteering at the preschool here, and life, I'm walking dead.

And I miss you. *pouts*

Explaination: My MSN messenger message to Sarah about Colin Farrel's Fametracker thread.

My school did 12th Night last year, but it was in an outdoor tent in December (it was actually pretty f'ing awesome) but a huge storm hit right in the middle of the play, and I didnt hear a thing that was said after Act I. But the guy who did the play did his own, sort of modernistic interpretation and it was cool. It was set in the past, but they were doing keg stands. That's college drama programs for you.

[This is Jaci if you didnt get the message about my changing LJ names.]

6. Because of what happened to me, I will now have to make changes to the way I use my LJ. I have always been very open on LiveJournal. I have never locked posts unless they directly dealt with my RL, and I have never deleted comments that others have made in my LJ. However, in order to protect myself (and YOU) legally, I am going to have to start carefully monitoring comments made in my LJ. I do not think the FBI will continue to monitor this journal, but I refuse to take chances with my life. So consider this a word of warning: If you make a comment in my journal that could in any way be misconstrued as a threat against any high-ranking official, I will have to delete it. It's nothing personal. It's just self-protection.

7. In spite of what happened to me, I will not lock any political posts I make, nor will I stop making political posts. This is important. I will not allow any form of government to make me afraid of voicing my own opinion. The way that I voice my opinion will certainly be impacted by what happened, but I will not stop talking altogether. And neither should you. I don't want to discourage my friends from speaking their minds. I simply want to tell y'all that you have to be ridiculously careful about how you do it, because otherwise, you can get into trouble.

I did make a locked and filtered post last night after all this first happened, because, well, I needed to talk about it. And I want to thank everyone who commented in that thread and gave me support and WTF and information, because it was EXTREMELY helpful and comforting in a time of great stress and OMGWTFBBQ THE SEKKRIT SERVICE CAME TO MY HOUSE OMG ;)

Now, at this juncture, I am not planning on making any kind of formal complaint with the A.C.L.U., as some on my friendslist have suggested. I did not feel that my civil rights were violated by the visit, and I did not feel intimidated by the Secret Service agents. I have, however, contacted an attorney simply because I want to ensure that my rights are protected in the future, and because the Secret Service were less than clear about what exactly can be construed as a threat and what would be done with my FBI file and any medical records they requested. I am not making any efforts to contact the media, and I doubt that I will in the future.

HOWEVER.

I want people to be aware that what they say on their LJ can cause problems for them in RL, because I love all of you and I don't wish what happened to me on you. You are more than welcome to discuss this post in your journal, and you are more than welcome to link to it from your journal. If you want to post this in a community, go for it. Hell, if you want to put me on fandom_wank, it's probably not a bad idea. The wankers would have a FIELD DAY with this. I know I would. Please, feel free to make an example out of me. So share this with your friends. Tell them what can happen. It's beneficial to all of us to know that this can happen, and hopefully, it'll prevent something like this from happening again.

Now, with all that said, I really, REALLY need some goddamn porn today. GAAAAAH.

Hee. Insanity is fun. *hugs whacky family*

*squeaks* What happened with Erica? I was left in suspense! Email me, because you probably don't want to discuss here, but I needs to know, sweetie! And fill me in on this other stuff, too. I miss being silly with you. Life's all blahblah essay blahblah exam blahblah COLLEGE STRESS and so forth right now.

Hey, I read that! I dunno, I appreciated her warning and her willingness to share, but so many people are flipping out about it being Orwellian and Eeeevillll. It's getting on my nerves, because there are limits on freedom of speech, based on forum and content (only stuff that incites or promotes violence [my government teacher dubbed them "fighting words"]). Annie made an honest mistake, some jerk reported her, and we all learned a valuable lesson in restricting our hyperbole usage. Bleh.

What think you? (fear my brain-fried grammarness)

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Jaci! No, I didn't know about you changing. *adds new SN*

Our Twelfth Night was so much fun, because they set it around WWII (I think; there was supposed to be a PT boat involved in the shipwreck, but us tech people didn't finish painting it in time *shameface*), and Viola (Mary! I love her so!) and Sebastian were the children of an oil tycoon and had heavy Texas accents. Which was funny because we ARE Texans and none of us have accents, so they faked it (and very well, of course). Sir Anthony entered to the theme of "I'm Too Sexy," and had a hysterical silver-blonde wig that looked like a pom-pom. Almost everyone was great (Malvolio and Sir Toby was especially fabulous). Plus, they added "Rory the Juggler" who had no lines, but played around with Feste the clown during scene changes to keep us amused. I especially enjoyed their juggling-ball fight.

Wacky families are brilliant.

Speaking of emaling, could you email me your address sometime within the next month or so? I have a holiday card for yuo and a present, but, alas, I somehow lost your addy. My bad.

Ehh! *sighs* Erica - chaos. It's all pure chaos. Her sister wants custody of her, and there's this big fuss, and next week it will all be decided. And have I mentioned her dad to you? Because he's acting up.

Other stuff can all be filled in here. Becausa I'm lazy.

Anthony - dating Caitlin, flirting with me. Lisa swears he has a crush on me. I say, "Really?" And he let me read his poetry and I went all gah. *giggles* In a good way.

Potential Love Life - he's named Jacob. He's cute. Also, Anthony. I want Anthony. Jacob wants me. And then the guy Lisa likes, who also swears I'm eevvvillll because I carry around stones, evidently also might have a crush on me. Alas, nobody will let me use my eeevvvilll stones on him or that problem will be fixed.

Friends - big non-fight with Lisa. We're all weird. And I think she has a crush on my little brother, and I know he has a crush on her, and I will be oh-so traumatized if it's all true.

Hair - reddish purple! *grins* And okay, probably non-important, but I just did it like an hour ago and am in awe of it. Yay awe.

Poor Katie. Lot's of college stress. And I still think you should visit Oberlin - did it make the list or not? - just to visit me.

[thespatz.livejournal.com]

Address emailed!

*crosses fingers* I hope things come out for the best for her.

*sighs happily, props chin on hand* Honey, you have a soap opera going on up there! Love triangles, best friend and sibling hookups, abrupt hairstyle changes.... And here I thought Ohio was boring. *g*

Question: why are you evil for carrying stones? What kind of stones qualifies as "evil"?

Sorry, dear, Oberlin didn't make the list. It did make my best friend's list, though, as did Kenyon (which she is totally only applying to because the boy in the picture was cute. Long, weird story.)

Now let's see if it were recieved. Did I ever mention my main email address has changed to littlemissdrama@gmail.com now?

So do I. Yesterday we had an interview with a court interviewer, and he asked a lot of questions - and it was sorta hell, because I told him things he needed to know - but it felt like I was betraying her somehow.

Hmph. Love triangles - I can deal with. Sibling and best friend hookups - they try it, I'm not talking to either of them. *smiles* Alas, even with this all - Ohio is still boring. Go figure, right?

Hmm. All my stones are "evil" - and, I'm not sure. He says he can tell when people are evil and when things are evil, and my stones are very "evil". I say it's because he's a conservative Christian and he knows I used to be involved with Wicca, so everything I touch must be evil. And he wants my house to be demolished by a wrecking ball. Yet - and I hate this - he has a crush on me and I know it. *sighs*

*g* I bought this set of evil gorillas for fifty cents at a yard sale. They're small and ugly and it's like their eyes follow you. I'm thinking of sending Jed one with an "evil" stone and maybe one of my demolished barbies. Would that be mean?

Alas. Sigh. *giggles* But Rice is one mine, so maybe sooner or later I will see you!
