Finn and Rey's Cat Cantina and Pizza Parlor (The Fanfic Social Thread)

Was looking at pictures of St. Maartens... it looks like it was hit by a bomb! And two more incoming... yikes! The weather here was GORGEOUS today... sunny, warm but not too warm, not humid, very mild breeze...the kind of weather to totally play hooky from work. I didn't, but I wanted to. We are supposed to get rain this weekend; I think the tail end of Harvey and the first arm of Irma are going to brush us here. Not storm force, just lots and lots and lots of rain.

Glad that your old ladies liked the movie, Chyntuck! I liked it, too. I did think I spotted a few colonial soldiers among the French defenders at the very, very, very beginning of the film, but it was a "blink and you missed it" moment.

I was a little worried coming home from work...six (count 'em, SIX!) power company trucks parked around my apartment complex. Apparently, a transformer blew underground. The only thing that is affected is heat/AC --which we don't need, due to perfect weather-- the power itself is on. Weird. But I'm grateful.

Hope everyone else is safe and happy. Glad you didn't take that job, whiskers! Yeah, you could get through a few months of 7-day/12-hour weeks, but you'd need months to recover. You can find better. (I don't see a "thumbs up" happy face to insert, so consider one inserted!)

 

Yes, I hope everyone who is in the path of Irma (and Jose coming behind her!) stays safe!!

I loved the interaction with Luke and Ben in FOTJ! That was a big reason I kept reading, though I never did finish the series. Their evolving relationship was quite beautiful and I was looking forward to it continuing as Ben grew up.

 

I too loved the father/son stuff in FOTJ (I actually only ended up skimming Apocalypse for the Luke and Ben scenes), but I had so much hope that it would be the focus of the series (like it was in the first book of the series), but it ended up going off in too many 'AHHHHHH THE GALAXY IS ENDING' plots.

All this weather is strange, scary and sad. The south/east of the continent is under water (with more coming), while here in the west, we are still burning.

 

I can see it now:

Ten years from now.

Captain Rakkaus: It is now time again to write about your favourite ships!

Fanficer one: I'm going to write about Kylo/Rey.
Fanficer Two: Great idea. But I'm going to pair Kylo with Janen.
Fanficer one: Huh. Who is Janen?
Fanficcer Two: Janen is female Legend EU character from something called NJO.
Fanficer One: Cool. Good luck.
Three: Uh, Sorry to burst your bubble, but Janen is male.
One and Two: Says who?
Three: I read it somewhere on the wook.
One and Two: Wook can't be trusted. And a Female!Janen is better.
Three: Whatever. Bye.
Mu: Uh guys, Janen is a ship, it's Jacen and Nen Yim.
One, Two: You are trolling. Ignore.

 

I don't know most of these ship names.

The first time I saw one of your (or maybe Darth_Mu's) discussion posts, you asked if anyone were fans of [ship name], and I assumed it was a character I had not encountered yet.

Guys, guys, guys, I am so excited! I got my psychological testing results this morning and I AM NOT BIPOLAR. I spent five months unnecessarily sedated with medicines that could kill an elephant for no good reason, because the doctor got me totally wrong and though I was having a mania. Turns out I am emotionally unstable (and I have no problem confessing that, sensitivity is a good trait, IMHO), but nowhere near a debilitating chemical malfunction.

I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW.

Hope to resume writing and commenting soon. <3 And get out of the financial crap we got in. *bites nails*

 

Fantabulous Ewok Poet So happy to hear that and that you're off those pesky unnecessary meds.

 

I wish I could hit "Like" more than once. This is great news and I am so glad for you; you have been so stressed out about this. Take a deep breath, and you can work towards getting yourself healthy and happy again. (And I am particularly glad that you may start doing some writing again...there are a bunch of Ewoks contemplating a new moon in the sky who need their story continued!!!)

 

That is awesome news. Are they letting you get off the drug cold turkey or are they going to have to wean you off? Either way, I hope it all goes well.

Great to read, Ewok Poet .

 

Great news, Ewok Poet! I'm glad to hear it!

 

*Volunteers as DJ for EP's dance party. Blasts Yub Nub.*

 

How dose it fit with what we see in the Leia comic and does it make any references to it?

 

That's awesome news Ewok Poet! I hope you start feeling more like yourself once you are off the meds.

As for me, I no longer feel like a complete useless bum for not having much to do this month (while everyone I know is either back in school or at work). I got my schedule for my master's program, which starts in October - basically what is due what week and when each module starts/ends. It doesn't look too intense, but we go all year round for the next 2 years. I get 3 week breaks every ~4 months, but no more 5 month long stretches with not much to do, which is nice, because I'm starting to go a little crazy. So I'm going to try to enjoy the rest of this month because I don't get a break till the end off January.

 

I don't know, I haven't read the Leia comics yet (or any New Canon comics for that matter ) That's probably a question for this thread.

 

If you can only read one series of New canon comics, I recommend the Dr. Aphra series.

 

Great news, Ewok Poet!

 

I so happy for you Ewok Poet!! I'm glad you can get off the meds that haven't been helping you and I hope you feel better very quickly!



So every now and then I look at petfinder.com and torture myself with the doggos I can't have right at the moment because I'm glutton for punishment. My favorite breed is the Westie (West Highland White terror Terrier) and my boyfriend's favorite is a dachshund. Well yesterday, I found a West Highland Doxie; he's 4 years old and such a cutie with really unique coloring. That may just be a sign that we need him.

 

I'm just not a dog or cat person....
I have this suspicion that they will bite me as soon as I let my guard down.

 

Plot Twist: the dog/cat has a suspicion you might bite them if they let their guard down as well.

 

Well, I woke up this morning to find that TF.N has awarded me a trophy. I am "account seventeen." I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what that means. At least some of things they give you make sense, but this one? Nope. Has me stumped.

 

Mistress_Renata I'm pretty sure it means you've been registered for *gasp* 17 years. Happy boardversary!

 

How hard will it be having a dog in the city? I assume you are in an apartment, but I could be wrong.

I'm a cat person. I don't dislike dogs or dog people. What I don't like is when a dog person gets offended when I tell them I prefer cats because they don't need as much care as a dog (walking, bathing and such). I had one person say, "If you think dogs are too much work, then you better not have children." What? If a person said, "I'm not a kid person." I wouldn't say, "Well, if you can't handle a child, then you better not own a pet!"

I've only encountered this problem with dog owners. I have told aquarium owners, "I don't have fish because cleaning the tank must be a chore", and they've never told me I shouldn't have kids if I can't handle cleaning a tank.

ACK! My allergies are killing me this week...but I guess having a high pollen count is better than dealing with a hurricane. I hope all of the board members living down south in the path of the hurricane are in a safe place.

Congratulations Mistress_Renata on 17 years of membership.
