I'm over people expecting to be treated one way, and not treating others the same way.

She doesn't like fanfic. Truly, the fanfic isn't the issue here. What is an issue here is her attitude toward people. She judges people left and right, yet refuses to listen when anyone wants to talk about the issues in HER life. It just reeks of double standards and desperation.

I don't write about sex. It's just not my thing. I enjoy reading about it, but I think I'd have a panic attack if I wrote anything smutty. So when I find out that my so-called friend, who hasn't even read my shit, tells people it's all nasty and has a threesome, blah blah? That pisses me off. Not because she doesn't like it, but because once again she's talking about shit she knows nothing about.

Oh, and True Blood is not Twilight set in the south. Another example of her idiocy.

DONE. Fin. I officially question every word of support she's given me in the past 18 months.

I lost almost all my numbers when I got my iPhone today (yes, I know, it's about time, right?) Please text, comment or e-mail me your numbers - comments are screened!

I would like to note that the people who are telling me not to get too excited about Joe are doing so out of CONCERN and not BITCHERY.

And I know that. And I do appreciate it. But I'm still excited about Joe. Just saying.

Apparently I am too enthusiastic about Joe for some people's tastes. I understand the worry, but everyone that knows me knows I am actually more like to OVER analyze it, and be hesitant, than to throw myself into it without thinking.

I've used the word potential a lot with him, because it's there, and because potential is NOT something I see very often with men here in DC. It's been over a year since I had someone I even CONSIDERED dating. So I will just say that I'm sick of people telling me I'm being stupid. I am not in love with the guy - I'm simply spending time with a smart, funny, cute person that I enjoy spending time with. What is the fucking problem with that? What is wrong about me being EXCITED for that?

I'm done with that.

And for a few days, I'm done with LJ on any personal matters. I just need a break. And to appease everyone, I just won't talk about boys any more.

So here's the deal. I like Twilight. It's my journal. You don't like it, GTFO. That said, I will tag shit so you can easily skip it if you want.




Chapter 1

Summary: When Bella and Edward befriend new girl Bree, they're faced with an
important question - Can Forks handle the trouble new girl Bree stirs up at
Forks High? Rape, sexual assault, explicit violence. AU, Canon couples, vamps.

So, sometimes I wonder how I made it 28 years. I made brownies on Sunday. Forgot about them. Just cleaned them up, no big deal, except they were so rock hard I couldn't pry them out of the pan. The knife just kept BENDING. So I had to put them in the sink and run water over them to soften them, then dump the whole gloopy mess in the trash. The dumpster has a delicious chocolate mess to eat tonight for his dumpster desert. *shrug*

And tomorrow, the real birthday, starts at 4:30 AM. Ugh. That said,

HERE'S YOUR CALL FOR DRABBLES!

Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes over the last few days. When you eat your turkey tomorrow, gobble once on my birthday behalf. Love you all!

goddessrockgeek rocks!






And from you writers, I requested drabbles, or longer if you feel like it!!

<3

I want you all to know I am making a real effort to stay caught up on friend entries. So, stay with me - I love you all, I swear!

Now, this meme I find interesting.

1. My username is ______ because ______.
[info]izzzyy for no apparent reason. No, really. It started because I had a WoW character named Izzyy, but that was taken. So I just added another z. And it's stuck. People say it's "cute" and therefore suits me.

2. My name is _____ because ______.
Dixie, because my great-aunt was named Dixie. I never met her, but by all accounts she was an amazingly strong woman. My middle name is Lee because it's Scottish and my older sister really liked it.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
Izzzyy, because I like to keep things simple. Or maybe I'm just lame and not at all creative.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
Friends because I couldn't be fucked to change it.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
Sprinkle lips, because it's become my thing. Every post I make in fic coms has a sprinkle picture as a sort of visual signature. It started as a joke, but I've kept it going.

I had a pretty bad nightmare last night, and then the storm woke me up. Apparently that means my brain doesn't work, because I totally just embarrassed myself and sent farranger a text instead of Devil Rob. Now I feel like an idiot, but I can't stop laughing. Oh very dear.

I included some from both sides of the aisle to provide perspective, but I'm livid.

And, a bonus on abortion:

Catholic Charities Threatens DC Over Abortion


Hi, this is why I'm no longer a practicing Catholic. I'm so sure this is what Jesus wants - for us to judge people and then threaten to leave the city high and dry if we don't get our way.

"I had a dream and you were in it" does NOT equal "I had a dream about you." It's almost cute that you think I spend all my time thinking about you, though.

*hums "You're so Vain"*

She asked a question in her entry. I answered it, and left the com. She yells at me and I can't respond because that's how they roll. Apparently I'm expecting people to "white knight" me because I mentioned that there's a mob mentality in the group. Yes, there are cliques. But not all cliques want to stab people with pitchforks just because you disagree.

Most of the people I liked from there are already on my friends list, or in other coms, so no harm, no real foul. I find it amusing as hell that one teeny tiny comment invoked FOUR POSTS about the drama (and no, I didn't do it this time, I just backed the girl up). It's totes okay to joke about people in the comm dying because "that's funny." It's not okay to say someone may be too old to have babies, though. That's not funny because people deal with it and it's REAL! She didn't joke about aborting anything, or miscarriages being LOLtastic. She simply said that sometimes biology is on your side. I agree - ask Julie, my son's adoptive mom. Biology isn't on her side, either, and it sucks. But she's got Bella and Patrick, so it's okay.

I love a good debate, or discussion. I love discussing things with people who disagree with me. I just don't like the "LOL well I'm a bitch GTFO if you don't like it, because I can't actually form an intelligent argument or try to see a different viewpoint!"

Flames are funny, except I know they won't say it here because they know I'll laugh - they'll do it in private. Eh well. Doing things civilly is not how things go, there. Still, it's not my style to make shit like this friends only.

Comment here.

Post is screened. You won't get one if you don't leave your address. Don't assume I have it.

I'm looking at you, goddessrockgeek, but I know you're busy and have *gasp* a life.

Anyone willing to make me a banner to go with my story? I need zombie banner love!

Please? I will...pay you? Or love you extra hard? Either/or, whatever you choose.

It was a hard choice, but leaving WBT feels like the right choice. And I keep telling myself that any real friends I made through there will know how to find me, and that the place is better off. It still sucks, though. Trying to NOT compulsively check every day. Throwing self into writing, betaing, and the_gaz instead.

Twilight (and, ugh, WWE) fans should see goddessrockgeek 's latest post for icon love. She's got a ton of great stuff up there, all kinds of cast members.

Back hurts. Will go whine to self now, bai!

I went to bed at 8:30 last night 'cause I couldn't deal with the pain. Another fucking holiday wasted because of some random health issue. This shit is getting old, fast.

Seems slightly better this morning. And I so forgot to set my clock back, so it's even earlier than I thought. Fuck.

Puffy paint crisis averted - it went on pink, dried a red-ish color. Costume saved!

Tired. Bad dreams.

Apparently full sentences are too much work.

Please to be telling me about how PRETTY the babies I make are.






thelastaurora couldn't believe how big he is - almost six! Christ, I'm getting old.

I promise I'll write about "dixie's Big Top Haunted Adventure" soon, rest assured I was not TOO devious.

But what I wanted to say is that I adore my mother. I am so blessed in the family department. Just talking to them brings such a smile to my face - and I love that my friends who have met my family agree. I know I've got issues but I am so lucky to have family and friends that truly love me.

I just found out Múm will be at the fucking Black Cat tonight, and of course I not only have plans, but three other people depending on me for a ride.


GAHHHHHH I HATE YOU, LIFE! *shakes fists* Oh man, I so hope they come back, I'd love to see those Scandinavian fuckers.
