It's so weird, I never noticed it before, but did you know that on TUBI there's exactly 18 minutes between commercials? And then you get 2 commercials? Except when it's 13 minutes of program to three commercials. I never pay attention to this sort of thing normally, but now I can't help counting things.
Signs of life
Jan. 9th, 2024 02:27 pmA little bit of self-indulgent whining first. Being stabbed sucks enough, but now I'm stuck in solid form until things heal up, otherwise I need to get MORE stitches and the first batch were bad enough. Wah.
But now the main point of posting... I've caught up on the news and some of the reports and things and holy crap you guys in New York were AWESOME. Like, yeah, there's a lot of property damage (what the hell happened to Tomkins Square Park? It looks like someone dropped a nuke on it!), but all the commentary is about how there's so fewer casualties and injured than you'd expect from the mess. So you all should be so proud of yourselves for making that happen.
And of course the Friends of Humanity leadership are disavowing themselves from the whole thing. "Rogue element, fringe minority, nothing to do with us, blah, blah." It's probably a good thing I can't use my powers for now or I'd have fried the TV by now.
I'm still kind of at the hobbling around stage, so I don't think there's much I can do to help right now, but if there's anyone wants company and warm bright light, come join me in the sunroom. The sunlamp and I would welcome it. :)

Which are you?
Jul. 28th, 2023 07:26 pmSo I found this compilation video someone made of the cinnamon bun meme:

Here's your options. Name yourself or others, whatever works.
1) are you a cinnamon roll who looks it,
2) a person who looks like they could kill you and will,
3) someone who looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you, or
4) a wee bb cinnamon roll who would never hurt you but looks like they'd kill you in seconds?

Something isn't right here...
Mar. 21st, 2023 06:53 amSo I did my usual thing of going out through my window (since I've been asked not to ghost through the walls so much so I don't mess with the power), except it didn't work the usual way.
I mean, I couldn't ghost at all, couldn't fly and instead went straight through the window and hit the ground two floors down. Without a scratch. I mean, the window's shattered and some of the frame is busted too, and there's a cartoony me-shaped divot in the lawn, but I'm FINE. Weirdly solid and I can't pick up EM fields at all, but fine.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Team bonding time!
Dec. 17th, 2022 06:39 pmDon't forget, X-Men people, that tonight is our holiday celebration (which holiday? ANY holiday!) at Harry's. Bring a mystery gift and your toughest tastebuds for all the hot wings!
Happy Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2022 04:15 pmClasses are done for the day and I'm about to get into costume for tonight's party. I don't expect anyone to know who I'm dressed as, but Stagecoach Mary was totally badass.
Who else is doing Halloween and who's dressing up?

Arthur announced the District X Halloween event at the community center before the mission on Saturday. I just wanted to make sure people saw it, since it's important and there are more ways to help than being an X-Man. So if you're wondering what to do for the day, come to DX and help out.
Hey, Alison!
Oct. 20th, 2022 08:02 pmI found your YouTube channel! The one where you do all those old covers? It's amazing!
I think my favorite so far is the cover of "I'm Coming Out".
People should check it out. :)

The End is Nigh
Aug. 20th, 2022 06:19 pmOnly two more Saturdays and then it's back to school. I mean, yeah, I finished my bachelor degree last year, but I've signed on for another couple of years to get my graduate degree and then I'll figure out if I want to go on and do my masters, or actually go out into the world. I talked to Dad about it when I went and saw him during the summer vacay and he suggested if I'm not sure to stay in college a bit longer and think about it.
It's weird. When I started at college I thought I'd be more than ready to dive into things once I was done my bachelor's, but now? I really don't know. Everything I used to be so sure about has changed and all I know is that I don't know anything for sure any more. Is it like that for everyone?

Greetings from Louisana!
Jul. 14th, 2022 12:12 pmI'm here with my dad's folks (and my Dad! He got leave!) enjoying the muggy soup called summer here. Of course, with my powers I don't actually feel the weather any more, but I have to remember to complain about it for the folks not in on the whole being a mutant thing. Maybe I should get a spritzer to fake being sweaty? ;)
There's a thought for the day - what do you have to do, if anything, to fake being non-powered? Mine's faking reactions to temperature and remembering to be solid in crowds, in case someone bumps into me and goes straight through...

So much snow
Jan. 29th, 2022 06:42 pmOof, if it wasn't for my powers, today would have been exhausting. Thanks, Angelo, for helping me with the deliveries today. And since Mrs. Silverman had a cat and a parrot, we both win.
Okay, so...
Nov. 19th, 2021 12:55 pmArthur explained the whole "everything is open" thing, which is good because all the drawers in my room were open this morning and I thought I was going crazy.
But can anyone explain WTF is happening with all of the audio/visual stuff? What is a Mojoverse? Whatever it is, it's got some weird taste in programming. I swear I saw some kind of cooking show with a purple alien with multiple arms who kept saying "Bam!" a lot.

A little help?
Oct. 16th, 2021 06:25 pmUh, this is sort of embarrassing, but I'm having trouble recharging my powers after the mission and I kind of can't get solid again. Is there someone who could give me a boost, EM-wise? I don't want to be a hassle, especially with so many in the medlab, but I can't fix this myself. :(
It's Coming Out Day
Oct. 11th, 2021 06:30 pmI've had to think about this a lot, but this is probably the best time for this sort of post.
I'm asexual.
At first I thought I was just too busy and too ambitious to let things like sex and dating get in the way. But over the last few years, I've realised it's more than that. Things may change - sexuality is a spectrum after all and I'm only 21 - but there's something right in being able to recognise there's an actual name for how I think and feel. Beyond the usual abuse, any way, about being frigid and the rest.
No need to respond. I just thought it was time I put it into words, and to the people who, for the most part, I trust as much as my family.
(Dad was... confused, but supportive. I think he was still thinking of me as a little girl and the whole idea of sex and sexuality caught him by surprise)

Well, that was fun.
Mar. 10th, 2021 08:36 pmNothing like ducking out of afternoon classes to go help rescue Captain FREAKING America. And fight a giant head.
I love being an X-Man.

Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2020 06:46 pmWell, I'm all set. Harriet Tubman, Demon Slayer is on deck and ready for college party time!
