OMG. If this is what being a lawyer is like no wonder so many of them are booze hounds. I would never, ever stop drinking. Damn me and my teetotaling ways anyway.

If I haven't made it abundantly clear in the past I hate legal writing and want it to die. And I'm doing fairly well in the class. If I continue doing as well as I've been doing I'll be on my way to an invitation to working on the law review and that's a Big Deal, especially where my resume is concerned. And yet I still want it to die.

This seems like an apropos time to formally let people know what this lj, blog, what have you is for. This is my escape from my real life. I will occasionally bitch and moan about RL things (for example: see above) but generally I'm going to talk about not real things that make me happy. This does not mean that I live in a fantasy world, it means that I use this format as recreation and talking about law school or other concerns is not recreation, in my humble opinion. Anyone who thinks that all of my thought and focus goes into fannish activities has another thing coming.

Sorry about that. Had an experience this week that convinced me it would be prudent to include that disclaimer in my next post. Different people use blogs for different reasons and I don't want there to be any confusion on what this is for. I personally find my real life to be excessively boring and frustrating and would much rather talk about things that make me happy on creative and intellectual levels. I find fandom to be an extremely effective coping mechanism. Perhaps one day I'll have the chance to tell Kripke that I never would've made it through law school if not for his show. We've all gotta find our own ways to make it through the day. ;-)

Speaking of Supernatural, wasn't this week's episode awesome? dotfic's icon really does say it best, "Sera Gamble + Kim Manners = Opening Credits OTP." What I want to know is ( possible spoilers )

See? Just typing up this post has made me feel a billionty times better. I've caught a second wind and can dive back into the depths and depravities of contract law once more. \o/

Saturdays truly are for spamming.

As most of you probably know by now, I support the WGA members and their strike 110%. I also want as swift and amenable end to the strike as possible. In the past week or so I've been trying to find a way to do anything to help the writers out and today one method literally fell into my metaphorical lap.

Thanks to tightropegirl and her latest post on the strike I found a way to put my money where my mouth is. It's a campaign, much like the effective fan campaigns of old, to send boxes of pencils to the media comglomerates.

I would certainly suggest reading tightropegirl's post but if you want to skip straight to the action you can go here: http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2007/11/pencils2mediamoguls.html and show your support.
