Happy birthday to angryvixen!

Hello to new reader hughcasey!

Medical
Exhaustion + eXtreme nausea. Ick. EDIT: Tremors. Not as bad as Saturday's, though; I could hardly hold anything without dropping it all day Saturday...

Cookies
Remember to e-mail me by the end of the week if you want Girl Scout Cookies! Shadesong AT gmail.com, subject line "Girl Scout Cookies". Please to make it easy for me. *laugh*

Shayara Primer
For those who don't read on weekends: I posted the very rough table-of-contents-so-far yesterday. Please let me know what other info you'd like included in this. It's my world, so I know everything - I want to make sure that you get all the information you feel you're missing.

BPAL
I've still never tried them. If anyone has any imps they don't want, my address is linked on the sidebar of my LJ!

KoL
So I beat the Naughty Sorceress (thanks for all the star throwing stars, mrf_arch!). Is there anything else I ought to do before I Ascend?

And, um, that's it for now. :)

Shayara Day Poll - EDITED; please re-answer if you've already answered!

Just gauging interest here.

The Blogathon chapbook will be $10, proceeds donated to RAINN. The primer will probably be about the same - need to see how big it gets and how much it'll cost me. It's definitely going to be larger than the Blogathon one by a long shot; I may even end up doing a very limited run of hardcovers. The T-shirts will be available in sizes babydoll S to normal-person-size XXXL. Not sure about colors yet - wide variety available - but they won't be white.

Note to self:

All of your doctors have told you that you should not be Toughing Things Out.

You get no bonus points for suffering in silence. This is not Survivor - this is not something to be outlasted.

Swallow that instinct, and swallow the damn painkillers.

My Wish

Every day, we make choices that determine who we are.

Should your choices be exposed? Should the person you are be exposed? Oh, and I am not using the collective "you" here. This is a very specific "you".

What would happen if the people you profess to their faces that you care about knew what you say about them behind their backs?

What if they knew the choices you've made these past four weeks? The things that you have done?

It would destroy you and your relationships with everyone you profess to care about.

Your choices. And the person they've made you.

I make choices every day as well. Every day, I decide what sort of person I am.

And your actions have made it very hard to say this these days, very hard to make the choice to say: I am not a gun.

But - I am not a gun.

I will not do this to you.

By your choices, you will do this to yourself.

I say this with intent:

May every person in this situation get exactly what they deserve.

So may it be.
