For the STP Secret Santa! My Secret Santa was Cat-s-art.
I'm so SO sorry if this isn't what you wanted, Cat-s-art! When I read your prompts this was the first thing I could think of that was NY and CA related, and it just wouldn't stop bothering me. I really liked writing it, though! OTL

Once again, writing about the states leads me in directions I never knew I would take. Really, I had no intention of putting the Civil War and 9/11 bits in there, I don't know where they came from ._.;; But as I said before-I really like writing for this group. It inspires me a lot

Also, to be clear, this isnt necessarily a romantic relationship. It was written to be brotherly/platonic, but if you want to see it as the beginnings of something more then that's fine too.

As I'm sure you all know, California was hit really hard by the recession and is currently in a huge bedget crisis. Some of the other states that I implied were sick (Florida, New Jersey, Michigan) were also hit hard. New York was also hit hard, but I think Michael himself would have gained some kind of immunity to economic sickness after the depression. He would have easily been much more sick than any state today.

It is an essay I wrote for a Women and Writing class. The class assumes everyone has a gender or identity or gender identity. I often feel like I do not. So this is what I wrote in response to the material we had to read about being female.

The preview image was taken of me by my friend, Lauren DeCicca, for her senior thesis project in photography / "This Changes Everything" exhibit in downtown Ithaca, NY. Check her out: [link]

-----------------------------------------

EDIT:

WOW. Just...wow. I woke up to hundreds of messages in my inbox this morning and thought DA broke! THANK YOU FOR THE DD! I've been part of this community for years and never dreamed I'd ever receive such an honor!

I've been wading through the comments and have two things to generally respond to:

1) I am not trying to argue that obesity is an inherently healthy thing. It may be for some people, perhaps. My goal in writing this was never to advocate obesity, but to advocate for the HUMANITY of obese people. Do not assume everyone has control over their weight. Nevertheless, I feel like comments in opposition of obesity have created interesting dialogue. This is important. People have passion enough to debate the topic--and that is better than remaining silent. For those of you with only hostility for overweight people (rather than genuine concern) I have sincere concern for YOU and hope that you are able to heal whatever inside of you may be broken.

2) I saw a lot of comments left by people who were clearly moved by the subject matter / can truly identify with it. Your words have meant so much to me. Thank you for sharing your own experiences and why this meant something to you. Connecting with others, communicating, exchanging, expression: This is what art is. To have created something that MEANS something to others is the highest accomplishment, and I cannot begin to articulate how honored by that and grateful for that I am. So many beautiful words from so many beautiful people. What a humbling experience...

Much love to you all! Change of any kind must start with love and support. <3 ]]>

The North's objections to slavery were pretty superficial, for all the modern elitism we attach to it. It really wasn't about a moral objection to enslaving people, or an equality thing, as much as it was wanting to look good in the eyes of Europe (that's how the US made a lot of decisions, actually).

The North's objections to slavery were pretty superficial, for all the modern elitism we attach to it. It really wasn't about a moral objection to enslaving people, or an equality thing, as much as it was wanting to look good in the eyes of Europe (that's how the US made a lot of decisions, actually).

With the many anti-Islamic books going around in the market propagating lies and misconceptions, I think it is necessary for me to recommend some good Islamic books for those who seek to check all sources before reaching their conclusions. so today I present this very interesting book by the Scholar Moustafa Zayed. THE LIES ABOUT MUHAMMAD -How you were deceived into Islamophobia.


Description from the publisher:
In the book "The lies about Muhammad", well known American Muslim scholar Moustafa Zayed refutes the historical errors and allegations in the New York Times Bestseller book "The Truth about Muhammad" by Robert Spencer. In refuting Spencer's claims, Zayed brings to life a richness of history, politics, and current events into the spectrum of the hot debate. The book uniquely shows Islam and Islamic history from the rare point of view of a true Muslim scholar without any politically biased alterations of a middle man; more importantly an America Muslim scholar who shares the pulse of our day to day life. The reader will come to know real Islam and Islamic history in regards to plenty of topics like the raging controversies about women, human, and minority's rights in Islam - not just from an Islamic perspective - but also in light of world history, Judaism, and Christianity. Zayed eloquently shows how the misinformation about Islam is woven into the Islamophobia of today. The depth of knowledge and unique perspective of Mr. Zayed enlightens the reader about the overall depth of the meaning of God and religion from an interesting angle that could give birth to a debate unparalleled in today's literature - a debate that matters greatly to millions of readers.


About the Author:
Imam Moustafa Zayed has a degree in communication systems engineering, and a member of the scientific board of Quran and Sunnah research of Cairo. He has appeared numerous times on the NY-area television program, "Understanding Religion". He speaks widely in interfaith settings with devotion to bridging peace between the major religions and communities. Zayed is the author of "Muhammad Said" and "Journey of All Times"; he is also a leading teacher in several mosques in New Jersey. Imam Zayed was featured as one of ten North American Islamic scholars on Britain's Channel 4 documentary, "Islam in America."

Why choose the Robert Spencer book "the Truth About Muhammad" to answer and refute its claims and accusations, page by page and paragraph by paragraph?

This is in the same vein as Balloon Juice Co. Design Doc, and not just because I'm building off of someone else's far-better-than-mine work. If there was a world in which our fantasy was commonplace, what would be different? How would inflation fit in? How would art change? Politics? Business? Manufacturing? News? What would a normal life look like in such a world?

This builds off an excellent dialog of HeliumGirl's called The Support Group. The concept of a sexually transmitted disease that could cause inflation and flotation just grabbed my imagination and refused to let go. I just had to write something set in that world. At first, I wanted to create a dialog between two TETHER members trying to plan a chapter retreat around their unique condition, but then I noticed all sorts of interesting things happening in Colorado and Washington state. A brief mention of a drug whose misuse was the source of the narrator's infection soon became the focus of a new story.

Debate continues in the New York Senate, as lawmakers and experts make their case on the merits or dangers of decriminalizing pentahelifil, or blimp gas.

Protesters filled the street outside the capitol building on Monday, chanting and waving signs, as police maintained a barricade in front of the building doors.  Most of the protesters present were in full support of decriminalization, and despite police presence, some of the demonstrators partook in blimp gas in full view of the public.

The idea and the time of this lyric is rather old, but the story only now came to mind.

I think this is a commentary on taking responsibility and being aware of how one affects others. It's also about the escape that dancing and clubbing offers to people.

The 'forty years ago' line is a tiny reference to the Stonewall riots of 1969, which was a raid on Stonewall Inn, a gay club in NY that was raided by police. It was the straw on the camel's back for the Gay Rights movement.

Also, an obvious reference to Ecstacy.

Anyway... I keep wanting to work in something else. Something about discomfort; about me. But I don't see this prose as about me, in a sense. So out it goes.

P.S.: This is probably influenced in part by the Scissor Sisters. I was listening to their first album when this came to mind.

geisha: a japanese entertainer/work of art - NOT to be confused with an prostitute, who was known as an oiran

danna: husband, master, and/or male financial partner of a working geisha

anything else: C: comment if confused and i'll explain ^^

i love them as whiny children XDD - D: and deidara's random questions were fun to write Cx

and the pigeon - that was actually based on something i did myself when i lived in ny XD; there was this brown and white pigeon that lived outside our building, and you could always tell her apart from the other pigeons because of her feathers, and i named her ginger and i used to sneak a cracker to her everyday when i left for the school bus stop ^^ - D: i miss her *hopes a cat didn't eat her or a bus ran over her*

if anyone's watched the movie 'A Little Princess', you know it's about a (was it english or american?

D: this one took a while; it was kinda hard incorporating itachi's story into the whole thing, since it seems to kinda go off track a bit, but trust me, there's a reason for that story C: (no, it's not an obvious reason either; ur gonna have to wait till i get to it XD)

vocab:

geisha: a japanese entertainer/work of art - NOT to be confused with an prostitute, who was known as an oiran

maiko: an geisha apprentice

okiya: a geisha house

danna: husband, master, and/or male financial partner of a working geisha

anything else: C: comment if confused and i'll explain ^^

i love them as whiny children XDD - D: and deidara's random questions were fun to write Cx

and the pigeon - that was actually based on something i did myself when i lived in ny XD; there was this brown and white pigeon that lived outside our building, and you could always tell her apart from the other pigeons because of her feathers, and i named her ginger and i used to sneak a cracker to her everyday when i left for the school bus stop ^^ - D: i miss her *hopes a cat didn't eat her or a bus ran over her*

if anyone's watched the movie 'A Little Princess', you know it's about a (was it english or american?

A little bit longer than the previous two to three ones, but funny one. I would like some comments on this one...it would be good.

It's a Duncan and Courtney episode...and I guess the title tells you everything.

Next episode I'll try to make Geoff and Bridgette episode. Maybe if I get encouraged or get a good idea...a Cody Gwen episode. Maybe.

The title comes from the Marcy Playground song "Sex And Candy". ]]> There they sat. There they were. The entire gang sitting down in the school cafeteria, together as friends and couples once again for the first time since the whole Joanie affair was done and summer ended.
“Well...I’m glad we’re all friends again.” Gwen said. “But I can’t help being pissed that the summer’s over.”
“Yeah...but at least everything is settled with our world.” Said Bridgette, putting her arm around Geoff’s shoulder. “No problems with us at all.” ]]>

I know this was a very rough read, to say the least, because it was sure difficult to write. The next two parts, though, are not as, uh, graphic and depressing. (This is part 1 of 3, by the way).

-The meeting takes place in Atlanta, GA.
-I know a few New Jersians, and it's not their accent I find funny, but the fact that they say "Can I have a water?" rather than "a bottle of water" or "a cup of water".
-It's part of my headcannon that America actually gave birth to all of his states, hence the family-like terms and allusions.
-The 2000 presidential elections in America were a mess because votes from some states had to be recounted several times. Even today the results are still contested by some.
-The first plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 AM. The words in italics are a quote from flight attendant Amy Sweeney. She called the American Airlines flight operations center minutes before the crash and was on the phone with them until the plane hit the tower. Basically, those were her last words.
-Its part of my headcannon that the nations/states can, on occasion, see through their citizen's eyes, so to speak. That's why NY could hear the flight attendants words(she was a New Yorker) and why, later in the fic, he starts screaming at the people in the towers.
-If you search YouTube, you can find the exact live footage of CNN and ABC from that morning.
-People trapped in the upper floors of the North tower began jumping before the South tower was even hit. This continued, out of both towers, for over an hour and a half.
-The Pentagon, of course, was one of the buildings hit in the attack. Technically, the Pentagon is in Virginia, but that land used to be part of DC, so I feel like he felt it, too.
-On the Doctor thing-Its part of my headcannon that each state, along with America, has several doctors that know who the states are and are always ready to care for them in a time of crisis. Since everyone was in Georgia, George's doctor was the easiest to access. Also, Piedmont Hospital is a large hospital in Atlanta.
-The gashes on NYs arms are actually part of his cannon set up by his creator. The head injury thing was more my idea, but I wanted to include both.
-That last quote was said by the CNN anchor as the North tower collapsed. I've just always liked it, for some reason.

A basic timeline of the attacks (all in EST)-
8:46-Plane hits the North WTC tower
9:03-Plane hits the South WTC tower
9:37-Plane hits the Pentagon
9:59-South WTC tower collapses
10:03-Plane goes down in a field in Pennsylvania
10:28-North WTC tower collapses

I was rather unhappy with the old definitions and so I put a great deal of thought into the new text and now I am far happier. Some things remained the same, but much was changed or explained far more detailed. The text will probably become even more detailed over the time, but that's ok. ^^

I like it..it's just Chapter 1 though..more soon. Please tell me if there are any typos. ]]> Sarah woke up, and felt too heavy to even try to get out of bed, but her younger sister by 2 years pulled her out and brought her to the window, accidentally slamming her forehead into the glass. "God put a tree in the middle of the street last night! it even broke the road!!". Almost immediately, Sarah truly woke up and stared wide eyed at the twisted formation of wood and green that had decided to grow in the middle of the four way intersection that had kept Sarah up practically all night.

I hope I got NJ's characterization right. He's an interesting, but complicated character ><

-I'm trying not to portray NY and NJ as too close. I know, as far as brothers go, they aren't super attached or anything, but I think here NJ is just scared and feeling over protective of NY. They won't be like this for the rest of the story, though.
-As I said last part, US airspace was closed until Sept 15th or 16th, so it was difficult for Guam to get a plane to America, much less all the way to Atlanta.
-Originally, it was thought that 5000-6000 people were lost in the attacks. The number has since settled around 3000, but over 6000 were injured.
-The first major sports event in NYC after 9/11 was indeed the Atlanta Braves vs New York Mets, and the Mets won. New Yorkers flipped out.
"hallo, mijn zoon." is roughly Dutch for "Hello, my son." I used google translator, but its a pretty simple phrase, so that's probably pretty accurate.
-Just for clarity, NYs glasses didn't break because of the attacks. They really did fall off and get stepped on. This will mean more later.

The next day everyone was overjoyed to see America awake and alert. Canada had decided, after seeing his brother's sensitivity to light and sound, that the easily excitable states should be brought only in small groups to his room, so everyone took turns. Virginia, Maryland, and DC talked to him first, then hugs and kisses were exchanged and Virginia left to seek out another small group to allow into the room. The process continued quietly and calmly for most of the day, until 5 PM.

2) its something ive never written before

3) its about Spotted Hyenas <333333333 and i love them<3333 and if you have any questions about them let me know, but for background info here's a little of it
i) spotted hyena cubs begin fighting within minutes of birth for dominance; only carnivore born with eyes open, full locomotor skills, teeth erupted, and commit siblicide (not always, sometimes siblings do bond together instead)
ii) females are more aggressive and dominant
iii) lions scavenge from hyenas all the time and will kill them if they can separate them. hyenas hunt 95% of the time, are successful on their hunts 80% of the time. lions are only successful 30% of the time
iv) they have pyramid molars to crush bones; they can digest everything except hooves and horns
v) they howl to the earth instead of up to the moon
vi) i watched a documentary where a lion killed the matriarch hyena for no reason by breaking her back, but she was so defiant. she rolled her way over to her cub and then died with her cub by her side.

if you have any more questions, let me know

oh, Crocuta live in Africa. i live in NY. how this monologue poem relates to me:
i watched my dad die.
after this tragedy, my brother and i bonded instantly. we stopped our fighting and leaned on each other, grew with each other, and now he is one of the most important people in my life, and i love him.
i am misunderstood.
i am always breaking. but my god, im tough for all my fragility. i somehow manage to get my fight back and take everything on.
i kill mice at my job to feed to other animals, but i always say a little apology/eulogy for them.

, le bien nommé



Règles : Choisir l'un de ses poèmes favoris et tenter d'imiter son style. Faire son propre poème, mais refléter l'original dans le style et l'humeur. Les critères de jugement sont :

1. Similitude de style (ponctuation, structure des phrases, «le ressenti").
2. Originalité (la façon dont le sujet est représenté.)
3. L'impact global.

J'ai donc choisi une pièce courte mais intense, fort connue, de Baudelaire. J'adorais ce poème, plus jeune. J'ai tenté ce que j'ai pu pour essayer d'imiter notre dépressif national, à vous de dire si j'ai réussi ! Ponctuation, structures des phrases, sujet, ordres des rimes : tout est respecté. Je me suis parfois écarté de la versification originale (la métrique pure), comme au second hémistiche du premier vers (celui de Baudelaire est un exemple de virtuosité, inimitable.) J'adore cette idée, c'est génial ! Donnez-moi votre avis !

Pour cause de traduction, je pense, quasiment impossible, je vais concourir pour la beauté du sport. En effet, le concours est en langue anglaise. l'idée est à retenir : si on a quelques volontaires, on pourrait tenter la même, non ?

Here the rules : [link]

I post it for the sport - I'm not able to translate my piece for the judges (you'll find Baudelaire's translation below). I try to respect all the rules, in french, with this powerful masterpiece of our national depressive in chief. I think it's not so bad!


Here's an english translation about Baudelaire's piece :


De Profundis Clamavi

I do implore thy pity, Thou whom alone I love, 

Deep in this mournful vale wherein my heart is fallen. 

It is a world completely sad, where the low sullen 

Skies seem about to rain pure horror from above.

A fireless sun swims over six months of every year; 

Six months of every year the earth is lost in shadow. 

It is a bleaker land than any Arctic meadow: 

Nor streams, nor flowers, nor fruits, nor birds, nor forests here!

Surely there is no evil imaginable to compare 

With the cruelty of that cold sun in the cold air 

And that enormous night, like the first chaos of things;

I envy the very animals, to whom slumber brings 

Over and over the gift of being thoughtless and blind, 

So slowly does the thread of these dark years unwind.

— Baudelaire by George Dillon, Flowers of Evil (NY: Harper and Brothers, 1936) ]]>
J'invoque ton amour, Toi, la seule qui chante,
Blotti dans cet abysse où mon âme se meurt.
C'est une prison froide aux murailles sans cœur,
Où rôde dans le noir la mort à l'ample mante ;

Des astres de gel bleu irradient le chemin,
Et si l'on s'en écarte alors l'ombre nous couvre ;
Le néant privé d'air devant nos larmes s'ouvre ;
- Sans âme, sans chaleur, sans repos, sans ta main !

Rien dans notre univers n'est plus glaçant que cette
Solitude étoilée au givre noir qui jette
Les amants dévorés par le vide odieux ;

J'eusse tant aim ]]> Au départ, un prompt pour le groupe de mademoiselle

, le bien nommé



Règles : Choisir l'un de ses poèmes favoris et tenter d'imiter son style. Faire son propre poème, mais refléter l'original dans le style et l'humeur. Les critères de jugement sont :

1. Similitude de style (ponctuation, structure des phrases, «le ressenti").
2. Originalité (la façon dont le sujet est représenté.)
3. L'impact global.

J'ai donc choisi une pièce courte mais intense, fort connue, de Baudelaire. J'adorais ce poème, plus jeune. J'ai tenté ce que j'ai pu pour essayer d'imiter notre dépressif national, à vous de dire si j'ai réussi ! Ponctuation, structures des phrases, sujet, ordres des rimes : tout est respecté. Je me suis parfois écarté de la versification originale (la métrique pure), comme au second hémistiche du premier vers (celui de Baudelaire est un exemple de virtuosité, inimitable.) J'adore cette idée, c'est génial ! Donnez-moi votre avis !

Many of you are thinking "I understand why Cody is on Gwen's team, but why Tyler?" I figured since Gwen isn't 'E-Scope-y' enough to be the team's 'E-Scope', Tyler would fill the position much better. Plus you know the guy needs more luv. Hell, even Zeke has more fans, and Home-schooled had less screen time. I can totally see Tyler shaking his ass for the ladies.

MaleStripper!Tyler FTW~

"I think I gained weight." He looks outside the door at Noah, who's at his computer typing. "Did I gain weight? I think I did."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Noah stops typing and rolls his eyes.

"You're a fat BASTARD! Who cares?" He looks back at his computer screen. "I'm having this issue with the E-Scope cult. We've almost conquered America. But it's a bit more difficult to reach overseas with all the-"

"Really? You think I gained weight?" Tyler interrups, pointing at himself.

With a thunk, the suitcase was placed on the floor. Kakashi, who set the suitcase down, proceeded into the room. He took a seat on the edge of the bed, and looked around a moment.
"I'll need to buy a bigger bed, to fit the both of us ... so for now, I'll sleep on the couch, and you can sleep in here ..."
"You really don't have to do that for me, Kakashi ..." Obito murmured. "I'll rent a place on my own, and-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Kakashi's hand came up to cover his mouth, effectively silencing the young, pregnant Uchiha boy. ]]> [link]

on a chilly october morning
and never returned.

he had lived a good life
full of love and happiness,
which was brutally cut short that day
by an inexplicable act of God.

so when the bridge crumbled beneath him
and he fell to the unfeeling ground,
he was cradled by the world’s lament
at this bitter injustice.

he left behind his soulmate
and three children:
the blossoms
of his love’s cultivation.

i left behind my regrets
