Week 8 - Yes, and - A dangerous journal
http://elledanger.livejournal.com/3408.html
Week 8 - Yes, and. With the publicity that the Winter Olympics generated, and the international response to Russia’s policies, it is rather hard to not know about the persecution and discrimination currently happening to people whose human rights are being abused in Russia. Yes, this is awful, and yes we need to be aware it, and do you know what else we need to be aware of? To quote Amnesty International: “ LGBTI individuals deemed to be ‘serial offenders’ (ie; frequently convicted of h...Not only does t...

Week 14 - Confession from the Chair - A dangerous journal
http://elledanger.livejournal.com/4142.html
Week 14 - Confession from the Chair. Finding something to write with wasn’t the hard part. I thought about fingers and then I remembered the bones of the chair, the connective tissues, the nails, the screws. Short scratching things meant to impale. Tell the truth, I was a little concerned something that sharp might damage the paper, but I’d sucked them dry weeks ago and sometimes you’ve got to take risks. How would I know if I’d presented the right thing? Just so long as you take this yes. Posted on Jul&...

Week 13 - Open Topic (Unlucky for some) - A dangerous journal
http://elledanger.livejournal.com/3890.html
Week 13 - Open Topic (Unlucky for some). In its most dangerous form superstition took the shape of lies I would convince myself were real. A world where I mattered, and a life where I had control. That if it were not for me the artifice in which I lived would crumble and be revealed to be nothing; meaningless. I’d conjured a world where my every step kept reality in its place. I grew out of this eventually; after I’d tempted fate enough times and realised that the world wasn’t going to end I ...But as an...

[LJI 9-7: No True Scotsman] My Inner Scotsman - Stupid doesn't live here
http://dizzydog.livejournal.com/176847.html
Stupid doesnt live here. He just visits a lot. LJI 9-7: No True Scotsman] My Inner Scotsman. April 28th, 2014. I've always dealt poorly with criticism. A little bit of pushback and I have a tendency to crumple like a paper cup. I think most of that is because, deep inside, my inner critic is already hard at work setting up the arguments so when I hear them I already know. They're right. It doesn't matter what I come up with to try to fight it, the little bastard always has a response. So no degree.".

[LJI 9-4: NCRYBiYBNB] No More Rides - Stupid doesn't live here
http://dizzydog.livejournal.com/175886.html
Stupid doesnt live here. He just visits a lot. LJI 9-4: NCRYBiYBNB] No More Rides. April 7th, 2014. Buttercup trotted in place as his tail twitched back and forth in irritation. I’m telling you all, I’ve had it! No more birthday parties, no more snotty kids covered in cake. I’m done! Why should we put up with this, this demeaning servitude? Coco snuffed and looked up from his snack, and with a slow turn faced Buttercup. Well I’m not any more! Princess perked up and looked over at them with a little prance.

Stupid doesnt live here. He just visits a lot. LJI 9-6: Step On A Crack] Did You Know? April 21st, 2014. Was a quite common motivator to excel. Lucky for the stressed out competitors, the invention of chalky antacids also arose from this city. In the times before modern manufacturing capabilities, things were much larger and cruder than they are today. Drinking straws were originally carved from granite and could weigh over 800 pounds! Another local idiom you may have heard is In the land of the blind, t...

lj idol 27 - the chef & the rainbow warrior - Life is a movie
http://az-starshine.livejournal.com/1034113.html
Life is a movie. Write your own ending! Lj idol 27 - the chef and the rainbow warrior. Nov 3rd, 2014 at 5:52 PM. During my nearly four years at the Big Blue Call Center, I talked to all different kinds of people. Some were happy when they finished talking to me, some were irate, some were apathetic, and some were downright cruel. But this time, as I expected a reaming, I got a warm Southern accent and a drawn-out saga about a shed. After I did my best to assure him that I'd do everything within my power ...

Idol 9.17 "Scare Quotes" - Deidre Williams
http://deidrewilliams.livejournal.com/3622.html
Picking up the shattered pieces. Idol 9.17 "Scare Quotes". Aug 9th, 2014 at 9:37 AM. You talk about "him" in an effort to appear "normal." Straight. But secretly you mean her. You change the pronouns because she doesn't want people to know she's a lesbian. But you want people to know you have someone important in your life, so you talk about her, just refer to her as "him.". It's great, we went camping together last week. I'm such a homebody though, I didn't know what to do, but he. Is she abusing me?

Idol 9.18 Disinformation - Deidre Williams
http://deidrewilliams.livejournal.com/4090.html
Picking up the shattered pieces. Idol 9.18 Disinformation. Aug 17th, 2014 at 3:29 PM. Robin Williams died last week. He killed himself. There has been an outpouring of reactions, but for me, it hit too close to home. The voice of depression lives inside of me. "How can you go on surviving? You push away everyone you love, after they tell you they want to help you not kill yourself.". They don't care about you any more.". Other people might, but their wishes don't matter. Only the person I pushed away.

http://baxaphobia.livejournal.com/351258.html
Season 9 Week 4: "Nobody can ride your back if your back's not bent". When I was twelve I met the strongest woman I know. I didn’t know it then and wouldn’t discover it for over 40 years. I don’t know what specific incident caused us to cast aside our differences. There must have been a positive force in the universe that brought us together. Over the decades we have forged an enduring and loyal friendship despite distance, time and just the everyday things that life throws at all of us. When Ann called ...
