Venting

A former co-worker called me last week. We were...work friends. We never socialized outside of work.
She left the company before I did and moved to Ohio; she'd call me occasionally to talk.

She's one of those people who 1) thinks she's knows everything and 2) makes everything about her. The last time she called before this most recent one was probably 18 months ago. She asked so I was trying to tell her about everything I was going through with my father. Her response was to tell me not to trust doctors and do some woo-woo shit. Then going on about how terrible her life is. Then she started in on how she wanted to move back up here and she needed people to help her.

This time I told her dad had passed. She started with how she knows how hard that is. Her mother died (so did mine). Her brother died (so did mine). Then she started with how the landlord and other tenants were harassing her. Playing loud music ALL THE TIME (except for when she was on he phone with me.) And somehow causing electro-magnetic interference that destroyed her phone and that she could feel and measure. Again she told me how she wanted to move back and needed help. I basically just hmm'd in response to everything she said.

She's called twice more. First early Monday morning (I didn't answer) asking me to call someone in government to help her. How I, in MA, was going to do that, I don't know, considering I only know she lives in Ohio somewhere. And again a half hour ago (didn't answer) telling me she was being evicted. The other tenants were sending electrical shocks through the floor. She needed help to move. She has two kids in their early to mid twenties. Her oldest got married and moved to Finland. The other one lives with her.

I think she thinks I'll say "Hey, no problem. I'll help you move and you can stay with me." Nope. Ain't gonna happen. I can't block her because the phone number she has for me is a landline. Honestly it sounds likes she's in the middle of a mental health crisis. But there's really not much I can do about that.

Some new communities...

Ok so I wake up this morning with like an inbox of 18 posts for dreamwidth, and I'm astonished. I haven't had that experience in a long time. So I posted about

uc_xmen 's prompts request at

fandom_on_dw and

fandomcalendar and it seemed to have worked! Yay! Now hopefully more people will join in once the prompting is over as well. So if you have any X-Men unconventional pairings you've wanted to see for awhile, add prompts!

In other news, I joined

seasons_of_fandom under the Winter Court because why not? I used to love the land communities at LJ so I figured I'd try it. Plus if it gets me active again with fandom, maybe it'll distract from RL shit? Plus I miss it.

Also I'm signing up for

100ships (table) and

100fandoms (table) - because again, why not? Also I need something to inspire me to write again. I miss writing. It might take me 100 years, but I figured I could combine them with claims that I've had for awhile. I do still need to move my fanfiction to my community though from LJ, plus add stuff that's been on AO3 only.

Created

tvfanfiction again here since there was only a

bookfanfiction and

moviefanfiction. I'm going to probably go through my other communities at LJ and add them here as well. Also imported posts from tv_fanfiction and

alicehatter from LJ. So I think I officially know how to do that which is good.

OOh and I created

darcyland !! (Not a land community) - just darcylewis was being used and I completely forgot that I used chloe_otp as the formula for all the ships, but technically the Darcy Lewis fandom is called Darcyland.

Anyway I'm sure there are more to come!

[livre] Poisson fesse

Titre : Poisson fesse
Auteures : Pauline Pinson, Magali Le Huche
Langue : français
Type : album jeunesse
Genre : euh?

1ère parution :
Édition : Les fourmis rouges
Format :

(croisé à la librairie ; j'ai failli le prendre pour mon petit neveu mais quelque chose m'a fait hésiter
j'ai bien fait de demander à ma belle-soeur : ouep, mon autre frère l'avait déjà trouvé et offert, preuve qu'on se comprend dans cette famille ;
profité de mon passage suivant pour le lire moi-même avant d'acheter autre chose)

Un poisson en forme de fesses met les rieurs de son côté mais aimerait qu'on ne rie pas du tout de lui
même avec lui ; jusqu'à ce qu'il rencontre... le poisson tomme de Savoie et qu'ils deviennent meilleurs amis !!

C'est absurde mais tellement rigolo ?

Stolen from Sara

1. A character you absolutely worship
2. A character you like
3. A character you could give or take
4. A character you don't really care for
5. A character you'd like to spork

1: Name a pairing that you absolutely would die for
2: The pairing that you like
3: You would give this pairing, or keep it
4: The pairing that you wouldn't really care about but still support it
5: You really hate this pairing to hell, and you wish it was never alive.

If asking about Deltarune, I've played and beaten the latest chapters so you'll be seeing new characters and ships. :D

Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 19: the infamous due South troll

If you are in due South fandom you know about the "infamous due South troll," she of many names and one obsession: for decades she has been seeking out due South fic and vids that don't jibe with her personal opinion about which ships and which storylines are "true or not". She was flaming me even before I posted my first fic...back in 2011 she flamed my comment that I made on YouTube about a due South vid that I liked, telling me what was "wrong" with the perspective of the vid and how I was "wrong" for liking it. She actively seeks out for reading and for watching stuff that she knows she won't like and then she reads it or watches it and then she spews out her hatred. The last most recent time that she flamed me -- before TODAY -- was in 2023 when she pounced on a fic that I had written eleven years earlier and said hateful things about it -- I did not respond to her hate and TODAY she returned to that same fic and in even greater detail than previously FLAMED THE SAME FIC A SECOND TIME. Hells, that is some tenacity -- REREADING a fic to which she had already "objected" (she told me that she "disagreed" with my fic) and then commenting further in the face of my previous non-response. /o\
