Does anyone know what has happened with shiwiprincess's tumblr? Whenever I try to go there I get an error message.
Can anyone help me out here? She was a really lovely blogger and it would be good to know what's going on.

I'm in the middle of writing about a crush so this made me smile :) I hope it works out!
I'll be okay if remains unrequited. Just having a crush is fun right now. I don't get many opportunities to meet new people. Therefore, coming across a new guy that I find attractive is exciting by itself and it means my mind drifts less often to people who should remain in my past. Good luck with your crush ;)
What is stand your ground? :)
Stand Your Ground is a self-defense law in several US states. At base, Stand Your Ground means that if someone is threatening or attacking you, then you have the right to fight back. Under some self-defense laws, you are considered to be responsible for escalating a confrontation if you had the opportunity to escape but chose to fight back instead. Stand Your Ground says that you are under no obligation to try to escape or retreat, that you are entitled to meet force with force and whatever happens is exclusively the attacker's fault. It's like "But he started it!" as a murder defense.
Many states have some form of Stand Your Ground ideas in their self-defense laws, but some states take it farther than others. In some states your actions will be judged in light of your attackers' actions, and your response must be proportional. If somebody punches you and you respond by shooting them in the head, you will still be held liable because you went way too far in "defending" yourself. Other states explicitly protect these types of unbalanced responses - if you felt threatened then whatever you do in response, up to and including killing your attacker, is A-OK. Even if later investigation reveals that you were never really under any threat at all, according to this flavor of Stand Your Ground law if you believed that you were being threatened then you had the right to kill the person you believed to be threatening you. It's these latter types of laws that are what most people are criticizing when they say that Stand Your Ground is practically a license to murder.
US racism is also a big part of this. Part of what motivates the mostly white state legislators to pass laws like this is racist fear of young POC "thugs," and the more extreme and headline-grabbing cases of people making Stand Your Ground defenses are when mostly white juries acquit mostly white defendants who killed mostly POC victims.
shiwiprincess replied to your post:Has anyone investigated which is the best version...
No its not :( I’m getting the Blu Ray Combo Pack…
Yeah, thats the version I have on pre-order from Amazon. I don't have a blu-ray player, but it says DVD too. And 130 minutes of bonus features.
As for releasing a DVD on Saint Patricks Day? I'm irish. Don't they realise we have other things to do on that day? ;)
thanks!

Oh gosh that's hard as I have such a mixed taste in Music!! My CD collection used to be laughed at :)
I won't laugh at it!
shiwiprincess replied to your post “Wait wait wait”
In the UK we have 6 weeks off from end of July to beginning of Sept, 2 weeks for Easter and Xmas and 2 half term weeks. :)
That makes sense to me. We have 8 weeks off for summer, 2 at Christmas, and one in the spring. But we go from the beginning of September-the end of June. And there's never any allowance made for weather.
I just don't get it.
@Shiwiprincess asked me 27 and 72 but I accidentally answered the wrong one and deleted it and therefore her original ask. So here I go again. 27. I'm actually fine with my skin tone. However, I'm pretty fair and don't tan easily so I wish that I did. However, it's caused me to be vigilant about sunblock and I joke that's why people constantly think I am much younger than I am. 72. I have 4 pillows on my bed, 2 for each side. However, I have a weird habit of pushing the pillows to the top of the mattress while I slide down it. Therefore I end up resting my head on my arms or on the mattress.
