The Doorway: a panfandom game

Well, if you want to alarm someone then taking them very painfully from their home, pointing guns at them, and rattling off questions will certainly do it. I also should probably apologize to the man I hexed - but you shouldn't threaten to shoot someone just because they asked where their children were.

I'll admit I probably shouldn't have sworn at him, but desperate times and all of that.

They told me I had been here before, at 15 no less. What a bloody nightmare. Sorry about that. But better 15 than 16. Or 17, come to think of it. Those two years were complete rubbish.

Name is Ginny. Anyone mind pointing me to my children or, possibly, my husband? Goes by Harry - Harry Potter.

Rob Portman, similar I thought to the man I knew in my time and place, changed his opinion on gay marriage. That decision came from one of empathy rooted in the desire that his son might be able to marry and raise a family because his son came out to him as gay. His previous vocal advocacy of marriage as between one man and one woman was rooted in his religious beliefs. When those were confronted with a living breathing example, someone he cared about, other values - Christian values - became of more import than the verses which directly speak to it in the Bible.

Whether gay marriage is right or wrong, the morals and basis of beliefs should not be dependent upon the character of one's children. For that to be necessary to understand something means that great injustice must be left untouched in the world, for none of us do know even half the hardships others do face. I cannot imagine my daughter lesbian, and yet, I must try to think of her as all that I do not come into experience with. I must not insulate myself so that I later discover I ignored concerns and wrongs for years.

I was curious for your thoughts on Rob Portman's change of heart on gay marriage, which he said was because of his son.

It's strange here. I don't think it could really be anything but strange when we're all tv and movie and comic book characters living in a comic book world. But even madness has it's method and In any case, there is a small group of us who have been monitoring the arrival/departure notices for several months now. And we've reached a few conclusions, and even statistical significance utilizing a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Statistic to account for uneven weight of arrival date, so I felt it would be of interest to everyone if I shared some of our findings.

I'd really appreciate if there were no death threats this time. Hopefully this study could be helpful in convincing outside industry to take a risk on refugees who have already been here some time :)

I have managed to secure archival work in one library on the proviso that I prove myself fully competent with digital databases -- I am not much afeared on that count -- and a placement in another (the Morgan). I am told this will make me most employable in New York in time, which I presume is what they tell all interns, but whilst there is something intrinsically satisfying in making oneself useful in all honesty I have accepted to spend time with their catalogue and to make eyes at the conservation centre staff until they promise to show me how to preserve a manuscript. Being a relict myself has its own certain draw, in this!

But to real purpose: I intend to take a beginners class at the Dokoudovsky New York Conservatory of Dance this Saturday (basic beginner being quite the safest category when one is already setting out to make a fool of oneself). Do come with me, if you are interested.

The last day of winter has a little less weight to it when we've already had a week of extra sunlight, but I'm still saying good riddance to the season.

Any updates on the possible road-trip you three are going on to get the car?

The apple appears between olive leaves
Splash of red in the green of summer fields
It brings young men to their knees

A thunder clap that moves the trees
Dreams in the distance remain concealed
The apple appears between olive leaves

Smoke swept away by the warm breeze
All spirits broken remain unhealed
It brings young men to their knees

Truths in which they all believe
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield
The apple appears between olive leaves

Hearts adorned on brass buttoned sleeves
Until away they soar in coffins sealed
It brings young men to their knees

A moment of silence but no reprieve
Fallen fruit in a deflowered field.
The apple appears between olive leaves
It brings young men to their knees

So it's not catching muggers on my lunch break or anything, but I did work with four others to stop a bank robbery yesterday. I've never been part of a team before, so there were a few mistakes, but in the end no one was hurt and the police took all of the robbers into custody. A win for the good guys.

I ended up calling it a night after all of the questions and reports (so much paperwork, why?) and I just remembered today that I never even finished what I was in the bank for in the first place. It took a small loan, but you're looking at the proud owner of a '76 Herreshoff Nereia. She's old, but I didn't want some fancy plastic-looking white boat.

I've got a little hibachi grill and the night off if you're bored and want to see what sailing is like.

It's the 20th of March and the decorations are coming down, I think I've showered off all the green and the glitter and the Guinness.

Rabbits do not have holidays so Man-holidays are confusing to me. I know there was just one for someone named Patrick although I am not sure who he is. Now there is one coming up soon called Easter. It appears to have something to do with rabbits.

I like to take walks in the afternoon after my classes are done and I have seen many windows with rabbits in them. They are not like any rabbits I have seen before though. There are pink ones and blue ones, purple ones, even some that are more than one color. They also do not appear to be alive. And eggs. They are always positioned near eggs. Rabbits do not lay eggs.
