Kate fic: Fatal Dilemma by Ceindreadth

HAPPY BIRTHDAY schnuffichen!!!!!! I hope you're allright and that you'll have a fantastic Batty one. :)

Happy belated one to you, joaniedearest. Couldn't find a Mark Harmon shaped cake but... you get the idea. ;)

Now you can all make wishes and blow the candles!

Not only homophobia but hate in all forms, and labelling of people that marks their exclusion as groups or individuals. I think hating takes much less understanding and humanity than loving. To me, hate is felt by narrow-minded people who should first give a try at loving and accepting themselves.

- I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
- I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
- We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
- I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
- I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
- I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
- I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
- We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
- I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
- I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
- I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
- I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because - I am male.
- I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
- I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
- I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
- I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
- I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

OK, can anyone enlighten me. I'm sure there's a rational explanation. Other than time travel, or writers got flimsy with timelines that is... wait! They did it again?!

Jimmy Napolitano: I'll kill your brothers, your uncles, your father, and then after their funerals I'll kill you.
Gibbs: No brothers. No uncles. My father passed away 16 years ago. But I do have 3 ex-wives whose names and addresses I will gladly fax on to you. [we hear the sound of Jimmy hanging up] Huh! He hung up!
-- The boneyard [2.05]

Ziva & McGee: Gibbs has a father!!!
Tony & Abby: Tell me everything!!!
-- Heartland [6.04]

Guess who's gonna see Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band on july 16th? *re-bounces & hopes for streets of Philadelphia*

Stolen from annabtg, who gave me "C": ( C riously! )

Rules: Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal.

OT: Watched Yes man online and thought I was hallucinating. Spotted at least 5 current & former NCIS castees.

Also OT, bitching & wondering ahead: ( Jen be zen. Tu n'en seras que Mayer. )

... to all the one celebrating in the US or worldwide. Have a fabulous one!

Your Fireworks Say You're Impassioned

You are deeply passionate about a few things in your life. Everything else, you couldn't care less about. Your passions tend to hold steady over time. If anything, they intensify. Once you hold on to something (or someone), you don't let go!

Seems it's become a tradition for me on every july 4th, I'm gonna Gospel tonight!

It all started with a quest for graphics-worth quotes from the Fifth Element. Just had to share the icon fabulousness, courtesy of and directly from themadlurker. Feel free to snatch-credit-use and spread the fan "fifth element".

Yeah. Kinda played with the gadget a bit and... er... one word: colourful. What do you think?

Extra luck for those who manage to feed the goldy first. And... if you wonder about the black one: well, it's my Abby genes. *g*

EDITED: okay, okay. I promised I wouldn't but, black triggered a crazy urge to name each one after NCIS characters:

Black = Abby --> It's a goth thing.
Green = Ducky --> set of greens. Very original. I know.
Yellow = Gibbs --> I don't know why but mellow yellow pops to mind. Which is silly since it's more a David Mc Callum thing. Hum... OK.
Navy blue = Mc Gee --> 'cause he's called "le bleu" aka "the blue one" in french.
Orange = Jenny --> it's a redhead thing.
Red = Tony --> it's a Magnum thing.
Rose pink = Kate --> it's a codename thing.
Turquoise blue = Ziva --> it's a headband thing.
Fuchsia pink = Palmer --> 'cause he's got an edge.

My story with Queen's song started on my first Medieval festival organisation. It was our lunch song. Then, of course, Evian's ads came along featuring it. Used to sing along playing girl in purple near the copier. Now I wonder if this was premonitory... ;p

Found it too cute and, it's summer aka ocean time, after all. :)

You know those coincidences. When reality meets fiction? The ones that make you go: "no way?!" or "you gotta be kidding!". Well... was searching facebook for ( my name's meaning ) and one of my FB friends is nicknamed Sasha. Here's what she got: ( NCIS moment )

... Just want to apologize for vanishing from the surface of online, thus being way behind commenting, flisting and mainly catching up & updating. Won't be online this WE but... for those who wonder: concert -you know, the city's mythic arena, 500 audience to the min?- went super great!

It's very addictive this feeling, interacting with the audience and feeling the response. WOW!

Also, now everybody on the artists side remembers me for Cocaine (and Streets of Philadelphia & Hollywood). But Cocaine... well, went kinda wild, I mean, it's THE song for that, right? And musicians backed it all up. So, I've been told result was brilliant. Everyone coming to congratulate just went taking the pose I had on stage and mimicking me before telling me "that was just stunning!"

And to think I overstressed and didn't want to sing in the first place giving how rehearsals went but, in the end, we just rocked! :p

Dreaming's good but, living it is sooo much better!

...Sometimes, I swear NCIS Fanvidders read my mind. Only, with rehearsals it's more 1500 to 2400 but whatever. French music day soon. To all of you who sometimes want to... er... throw darts at their boss.

Remember that Yann-Arthus Bertrand & Luc Besson movie, Home, you can all watch free online today? Well, it's here, live (en français)!

EDITED --> Don't want it in french? Choose your link: Home in english, im Deutsch, en espanol.
All watchable on youtube up 'til june 14th.

PS: Just thought I'd keep it earth blue with a turquoise icon. All rights reserved on the pic though. No stealing please.

You Are Imaginative

You are a creative, innovative person. You're not afraid of great risks. Right now, you are seeking peace and tranquility in your life. You are drawn to people who are innocent and pure of heart. You feel like there is one major thing in your life that needs to be changed. You are quick to react. You are courageous and bold.

EDITED: OT but, since I'm on a Marc Coh roll, "True companion" would make an awesome LC vid.

Now scientifically proven: ( Daydreaming is good for you. )

Also wanted to wish nakeisha the most fabulous birthday ever. **hugs & good vibes**

You Feel Like Spring

You have reached a point in your life where new opportunities are coming your way. The future is exciting and bright. You are excited to start making plans. It's likely that you have been stuck in bit of a rut, but that's all about to change. You're ready to explore, learn, challenge yourself, and grow. All of a sudden, the world is much more colorful.

Speaking of seasons, this artist also did Summertime cover:

current music clip with John Malkovitch *thx joaniedearest* and Hugh Laurie... among others. But frankly? I prefer this vid better. :)

Amazing WE, first ocean flipper swim, back to lauching parties with peninsua's neighbours. Cool @ nice. Gauguin's exhibition: much too small. But sunny 21°C weather = awesome to tour the countryside. :)

Week's gonna be overbooked. Picking up pace.
