When I was in high school, I can remember that it was frowned upon not to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. It wasn't necessarily scolded, but it was questioned why you didn't. If something horrible happened in the nation then we typically had a "moment of silence" that was heavily enforced by the teachers, and most of the students respected that and were quiet. But, you know, I don't remember ever really making it a priority to say the Pledge.

In my high school, it wasn't required. You didn't have to stand (like I said, it was quietly questioned why you chose not to, but no one was going to suspend you or outwardly punish you for it), you didn't have to cover your heart, and you didn't have to say anything. We were asked, if we did stand, to please look towards the flag and for anyone to remove their hoods and/or hats out of respect.

But... not doing those things? That doesn't make you disrespectful. It means you have a purpose for not doing them, or for doing them. The only time I can ever remember actually reciting the Pledge in high school was on Veteran's Day and that was because I helped with the local Veteran's Day breakfast my school did and I felt rude if I stood in the room with all of those veterans and didn't recite it. I never recited it because I felt any other compulsion to do it. My graduation/class day were the only other two times I put my hand over my heart for the Pledge.

If today, in the wake of the decision made about that cop who shot down that poor kid in Ferguson, you decided not to stand for the Pledge, know that you were not being disrespectful to anyone. You had a reason for what you did. Don't let someone take that reason away from you. Don't let someone tell you it "doesn't matter". You aren't a bad person, and you don't deserve any slack for what you chose to do in form of a peaceful protest.

Personal goals if I ever finish writing a novel: Be the type of author who notices fans going outside of canon and goes "Oh? You have a headcanon/pairing outside of what I wrote? Cool! Keep up the good work!"

So I'm on Chatzy with a friend right now and someone called 'Hello' has signed on twice to our chat in the last ten minutes -- which only we know the link to -- and just simply said "Hello." and left.

Neither of us know who the hell this person is or how they got the link.

I mean, it's an open chat to anyone who goes to the link, but... like I said, only we know it.

Um.

Am I the only one who essentially went yawn at the Supernatural season premier? I mean, don't get me wrong, it was by no means awful, but I feel like we weren't told anything at all.

To be fair, maybe I didn't like this opener because I found the finale last season to be predictable. I mean, really -- why was anyone surprised that *SPOILERS* Dean turned into a demon? Crowley literally told Dean he would. Crowley literally said "Cain wasn't always a demon" and it was heavily implied that the blade made him as such, and we already saw what the blade was doing to Dean, so I just put 2 and 2 together and got "Dean's going to be a demon".

So, when this season started, I was kind of hoping for more? I dunno. I wasn't hoping for the boring show we got. We don't know who's the bad guy; the angels are in the same positions they always are; Crowley hasn't apparently learned that A) Don't ever think you own a Winchester or B) All of his pets leave him (Bobby; Cas; Dean); Sam and Dean are doing their adorable little "I'm leaving you" routine that they almost always do; and Castiel's a hypocrite.

Biggest reveal of the opener: Apparently Dean pissed off some other hunter? Who cares. The Winchesters will win. Cole will either die or leave in the end.

Is the guy who played Chuck Shurley the one who's narrating the Supernatural Special on tonight? Because I swear that's Chuck's voice.

Dead Inside: Do Not Enter — Notes from the Zombie Apocalypse

Dead Inside: Do Not Enter by Lost Zombies Chronicle 2011, 160 pages, 8 x 10 x 0.5 inches $15 Buy a copy on Amazon

Some of my favorite things about zombie movies are the details of the changed world. The dead grass, broken windows, toppled telephone poles, abandoned cars with missing wheels and trunks left open, boarded-up buildings, spent ammo shells, and other signs of struggle and desperation serve to create a fascinatingly creepy environment.

And that’s why I like Dead Inside: Do Not Enter so much. The book consists entirely of letters, hand-written warnings, and pages torn from journal entries that were written during the zombie pandemic. The notes are on matchbooks, napkins, photographs, advertisements, shopping lists, road maps, scraps of cardboard, and gum wrappers. Some of the notes are written with pen and pencil, others are written with lipstick, burnt wood, crayons, and blood.

The messages of the notes themselves tell the tale of the rise of the zombie pandemic, from tentative, joking questions about a “really bad flu,” escalating to confused panic, and later to grim acceptance of the new reality that the survivors now must live in.

In the introduction to Dead Inside, we learn that these notes had been found in a Dora the Explorer backpack. The first note presented in the book was written by the man who killed the owner of the backpack, a girl who was about 10 years old and had been bitten by a zombie (but had not yet turned into one). The man wrote “I opened her backpack and found all these notes and letters. This stuff is poisonous. No one in their right mind should read it. Reading this is like looking into the sun.” – Mark Frauenfelder September 16, 2014

I want to make a video for all of the Youtubers who are having a rough time, but I don’t want to do it alone. It doesn’t even have to be familiar ones, either. I mean, I’m just thinking of at least two who I know are having/have been having/have recently had a rough time — and sometimes I think...

I should have said "send me an ask" if you're interested. I forgot because I was also writing this up to post on my DA account and see if anyone there was interested. So send me an ask if you're interested (or message me on DA at ladykamerackharmony)!

I want to make a video for all of the Youtubers who are having a rough time, but I don't want to do it alone. It doesn't even have to be familiar ones, either. I mean, I'm just thinking of at least two who I know are having/have been having/have recently had a rough time -- and sometimes I think it's good to remember that there are people who give a damn. That there are people that these people have affected positively, and who are eager to see them happy.

I was listening to the song "King" by Lauren Aquilina (I think that's how you spell that) and I think the lyrics would be perfect for kind of a tribute/reminder of "hey, we love/like you!"

You've got it all

You've lost your mind in the sound

There's so much more

You can reclaim your crown

You're in control

Rid of the monsters inside your head

Put all your faults to bed

You can be king again

Anyone else interested? Because I'd totally be up for a map or mep or something. I've really wanted to do this for a while (particularly because one of my favorite Youtubers has taken a really long hiatus and his subs are kind of starting to freak out).

Message me if you're interested, I guess?

Dear anons:

You have officially turned my persona character into a evil creature. Congratulations. Now I can’t make happy-go-lucky videos with my persona as a character in them because the video turns into something practically based on the mastermind from Dangan Ronpa.

Also, I’ve found that I...

I am so tired. I really don't want to write this damn paper, and Mom just keeps humming and it's literally driving me up the wall and I just want to scream because for fuck's sake, Mom, STOP HUMMING DAMMIT.
