UNDER THLAYLI'S THRALL

SHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEKS WITH DELIGHT!!!

The boss is letting us go home an hour early due to the lack of air-conditioning. For the first time in my life, I love this hot, muggy, sweaty summer weather :D

There are very few people I pass up a date with Monica Reyes for. Very very few. Ammie, of course, is one of them, but after that phonecall last night, I'm like, "Reyes who?" She is so freaking adorable!!!! You have to hear her NZ accent. It just added to her chipmunk sexiness I'm so crazy about. I knew I forgot to tell her someone yesterday! I swear, if I ever do kick Arashi down to New Zealand, Arashi'll forget about Sorata the moment she meets Ammie. Though personally, I rather kick myself down there and start reserving broom closets ^^

Can you EVER do Alan Rickman! I literally went weak at the knees when you said, "Harry Potter" *DROOLS!!!!!* I swear, I was planning on kidnapping you right there ROTFL!!!

Okay, so what did I and Skippy-dono's little Puppy talk abut?
1. Mudwrestling
2. Mudwrestling with bishes and dreamseers
3. Mudwrestling with tentacles and computer cable
4. Mudwrestling with sakura tress and onmyouji
5. Mudwrestling with me and everyone else who wants to marry Ammie (they can try, but you're my padawan!)
6. The total and utter wrongness of Alison's current obsession with Fuuma. Alison, Ammie and I both wanted to marry you! How could you do this to us!?
7. The total and utter wrongness of Ammie's marriage to Hinoto (you SNEAK! ;D)
8. The total and utter wrongness of our Japanese pronounciation. Hey, one of us should phone Alison and ask her how to pronounce the dragon's name, though I love the way you say Arashi and Daisuke, and I'm very partial to Skippy-dono!!!!!
9. The total and utter wrongness of looking at Karen porn on public buses
10. The total and utter rightness of Karen kicking the crap out of Hinoto!!!! *beams*

ROTFL!!!!!! It very much fun, and Ammie is SUCH an adorable giggler! I hope I didn't come off as stand-offish, because I was really loving the conversation. I'm shy and awkward in real life (ask Lany), but I totally LOVED talking to you! Let's do it again, and slip in some hobit yuri next time ^_~

HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL YOUR CANUCKS OUT THERE IN BLOGLAND!!!!

Lika frolicked in the snow at Monday, July 1, 2002, 11:52 a.m.

Underneath ROCKED! That's up there with Scary Monster (the most underrated drippy episode ever). I can't believe they held it back for weeks because they thought the episode sucked. I wished they put that much thoought into Rain King, TGV, and Hungry. But then, they cut out the best scene from the finale. FREAKS!!

Mumsy liked Underneath a lot too. She said Reyes was fearless :D I loved the long black leather coat Reyes was wearing with the high heels. It looked amazing on her, especially the back shot. I can't find a picture of it online, but trust me, that was one cool coat. If I was a foot taller and ten pounds lighter and knew how walk on elevated shoes, I'd spend an unearthly amount of money on both coat and heels. Annabeth Gish is lucky she's 5'9", has an amazing figure, and can walk in high heels (though I have to admit, she looks funny running in them. Gillian Anderson is the only female I've seen who could run in high heels and make it look cool.)

I have much social blogging to do, particularly for Ammie and some raves on wickedly cool new layouts. I'll get to it this long weekend. Here's my list of things to do before Tuesday, with the estimated chance of getting them done:
1. Have Tea with Lanie (97%)
2. Answer ALL 13 emails once and for all (35%)
3. Write and send about three hundred overdue feedback on various fics from various fandons (35%)
4. Serious catch-up on the Sakura Board (50%)
5. Watch Gravitation (Thanks Sats!)
6. Take Mumsy out to Rideau (60%)
7. Clean up my room (10%)
8. Start the Survivor X island game
9. Call Ammie!!!(100%)
10. Hit the gym (0.00000001%)

Quote of the Day: "DUKE, YOU SONOFABITCH! THIS IS A FELONY! I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS! You break my heart." - John Doggett "Underneath"

Lika frolicked in the snow at Saturday, June 29, 2002, 12:00 a.m.

So the G8 Summit is tomorrow and Thursday >_< Getting to work is going to be hell! On the bright side, Asuka issue came in today and Karen Kasumi is without a doubt one of the coolest characters ever created in manga. More gushing found here ;D

Okay, some social blogging! The rest will follow shortly... I swear....

Satsuki-chan: Care to post that picture that turned Alison into a lovesick puppy? And how are the crowds down in Germany? *grin and duck*

Kerianne: It’s a preference thing. I adore Doggett to death, and I think he’s hot and awesome and drool-worthy, but I can’t get a crush on him like I do with that lovely partner of his simply because he’s male. So I can understand why people wouldn’t mind qualities in one gender but not the other. How many girls into yaoi/slash like females the way I do? If Karen and Reyes were male, I’d wouldn’t be going THUD over them, just as if Subaru was female, I don’t expect other girls to go THUD over her.
I’m with you on the “openminded” thing. People who like yaoi are no more openminded than people who prefer het couples because you can’t be openminded for liking something to your preference. Now if you didn’t like Nataku, but you read Nataku fics because you’re tolerant sort of people, you might be called openminded, but that kind of open-mindedness is no big freaking deal. So yeah, all the people who accuse folks who don’t like slash of being narrow-minded, whatever. I don’t expect a gay person to like fics about straight people so don’t expect straight people to like fics about gay couples. Having an open mind is the most overrated so-called virtue in the world.

Jeannie: I saw "Smallville" on Sunday and Wow, was it ever good. Finally, a realistic, believable reason why the guy wouldn't take the chance with the girl. I'd feel like I was taking advantage of the situation if I was Clark too. Poor Whitney. I really love Chloe, and I'm confused about Lex Luther. The other episode I saw him in, I thought he was enemies with the Kents. I can't wait for more! Sorry about the doctor shortage in Quebec, but at least you got the shot. Hope the next one won't be such a hassle.
And yes, I am walking contradiction about pretty much everything… except Scully ;) I never said she sucks and I most certainly never said she rocks. The first rant was about her flaws and why she would never be my role model. She shouldn’t be anyone’s role model. The last post was me showing her good points, or at least, how she’s like when she’s not being a witch. Scully’s a complicated character and to paint her as either a witch or a saint would be unfair to her character. She is not one of the strongest woman on TV, I don’t care what anyone says, she isn’t. But she has some incredible moments where her strength shines and it’ll be unfair of me to ignore them, especially her screaming at Luis Cardinal in “Aprocypha” and Luther Lee Boggs in “Beyond the Sea.” There are times I simply adore her to death. She just happens to have more moments when she drives me nuts because she’s so snarky and cold and petty, and her fans declaring her as the Ultimate Female doesn’t help.

ali keep on smiling about Subaru being back. If I ever said anything that kept you off the Sakura Board, let me know. I miss you there! Finally got around to answring your fanfic question too (Sorry, I missed it with all the latest craziness of life.) I admit, I do get annoyed with certain Divine Quartet lovers, but only the ones who gets mad when other dragons gets the spotlight. Since you're not one of them, do know that none of my comments are directed at you, so keep on the Subaru gushing. He certainly looks good with the sideburns back!

Lanie: Do me a favor and tell the guy off for me. He's taking advantage of you and should learn to do stuff for himself. I wished he failed out of architecture in first year. I'm glad to hear you depressed him though :D Go theatrics! *HUGS* Sorry you're feeling so bad. We'll definitely have to go out for tea before Canada Day or for Canada Day for some real life hugs. And hit the gym sometime so I can buy the clothes I actually want to wear. I know I'm not fat, but all the clothes I want to wear you have to be a size 6 *snort* But yeah, I’m feeling worn out and cranky and tired here. Full time work is not what it's cracked up to be. I need something to rejuvenate me, so tea with my darling would be wonderful.

Alison: ROTFL!!!! Kamui looks like he's in post-coital bliss to me too ;)

Lika frolicked in the snow at Tuesday, June 25, 2002, 11:06 p.m.

SHRIEKAGE! As if flooring me with And the Other wasn’t enough. Karen was the first DRR writer I actually liked and And the Other was the first fic I read from her and it blew me away. Horoscope Mornings is her best though. It’s just so haunting and eerie and sad and beautiful and I'm bawling like a baby. I felt awful for Doggett to have to go through that, and the relief at the end was incredible. It was like watching 4-D again. I'm still in tears when I'm done reading it, and I've read it five times already. I'm printing out this baby to read on my bus with me when traffic goes hellbound during the G8 Summit this Thursday. I just love my darlings! And XFMU has been cranking out dripperfics like crazy lately, all of them excellent. The moment the archive gets updated, I'm making a whole slew of recs.

I feel like such a rotten daughter right now. I go to work, I get home around 5, I help my brother with dinner and dishes, and then play on the internet without helping my mom. I should spend less time on the internet, but I always feel like I'm behind in emailing (which I am, sorry!), MB and X-Files egroups postings, fic reading and giving feedback. Especially the last one. I owe about two hundred feedback for some really amazing fics (and Kerianne, I owe you a couple too) >_< Augh! But I should take tomorrow off the computer and help out my mom. I'm just tired of each day passing by and so little getting gone, online, offline, with both houses, and I've got a bunch of stuff I need to airmail. Why it sucks to work full-time during summer.

ROTFL!. Having an affair with a subordinate, Ammie, that is so wrong of me *lol* The situation is getting more illicit as we go along. I know, I have trouble being discreet too, but I'll get you a belly ring that no one can see under your top. It'll be our little secret ;) And what broom closets and restrooms for, darling? Oh man, I so have to phone you now! Sweetie, did you really go three months with TV? O.o!!!! Let me know when you see the Buffy musical and what you think of Reyes when she finally arrives to New Zealand. We so have to garb! Oh, and expect some extremely belated Xcds soon *beams*

Alison, you must have magic fingers. My wrists are feeling much better now. Thank sweetie! I'm sorry that France and Japan lost. I was rooting for France, but there's always the next World Cup. Hopefully we'll be watching the games from Japan together then.

Jeannie, at least it's just the beginning of CTS. Stupid family doctor of yours that moved to the US. There's none in Quebec? Yeah, I had some pain in my shoulder at work this week. I don't know how far CTS spreads, so I hope the pain between your wrist and elbow is just a strain and nothing serious. And yes, yellow. You looked amazing as the Senator ;D

Lanie (when did you go "ie" on me!?), that Monkey Quiz is scaringly accurate. Mine says I'm a hedonist with great imagination and love for life who is in danger of blinding myself or avoiding the unpleasant-but-necessary things of life. Which is very true. I do indulge in pleasure far too much for my own good, but it's so much fun! I swear, one of these days, I'll get serious and clean up my room. If I start now, I might finish by Christmas.

As for my cousin, I know you didn't mean she was bimbo. I was afraid that I wrote her as a bimbo, and I didn't want her to come off that way, because she was a great kid. I'm just a leetle disturbed about spending an evening with a bunch of underdressed 9-10 years old imitating Britney Spears as they listen to her on my cousin's CD player at her party. It's not the behavior I object to, but the age. 9-11 just strikes me as far too young to wear shirts that says, "Porn Star." You're right about the older men, too. If a 9=year-old is going to be wearing make-up and a "Porn Star" shirt and dancing provocatively, it doesn't absolve the pedophile from his crimes, but come on, parents, think about it. On a lighter note: These are beautiful sites! Such lovely pictures of pretty boys. I especially love the Atti/Orli one with the city and the wings and the cowboy hat *drools* Food for thought indeed. Served warm with whipped cream ;)

And yes, Minnie is probably who you think she is. Six letter name starting and ending with the same letter. She said I could call her anything except "Cookie" and I asked, "Even Minnie?" and she said yes, so I took her word for it *grin*

Lika frolicked in the snow at Saturday, June 22, 2002, 04:02 p.m.

You know that "I want to Believe" poster? I've got dibs on that one too.

SHRIIIIIIIIEKS!!!! I LOVE YOU ROBERT PATRICK!!!! I'm watching his interview right and he is so HOT! What a smile! What a voice! That gorgeous, masculine, raspy voice of his that makes your heart pounds when he yells and even more so when he whispers *melts* And he seems like a nice, friendly, humble guy, and really funny. I laughed when he said the X-Files gave him a chance to be a leading man and a hero, something he hardly get a chance at, and when he said he's keeping his FBI badge, and his summary of the finale had me rolling on the floor. That was hilarious.

Now watching the Mitch Pileggi interview. He's so cute! Watch him trying to say "George Bush". And he gave the credit of the show to the crew. That is so sweet of him! Between him, Robert Patrick, and Nicolas Lea, a X-Files fangirl has much to squeal over. There's just so many terrific actors there who are fantastic people in RL as well. And I heard Dean Hughland was the nicest one of them all, and knowing what a sweetie Nicolas Lea was, he has to be adorable.

Oh, must go download the Nicolas Lea's interview! *lol* You know Nicholas Lea was the only actor I ever wrote a fanletter to. He hasn't answered yet, but I heard from someone that he was very appreciative (It was sent it in a bulk with 120 other Ratnicks' letters trying to get him on Harsh Realms.)

OH MY GOODNESS!!! KRISTEN DAVIS' FAVORITE EPISODE WAS PAPERCLIP!!!!!! I am so telling my sister. We're both big Kristen Davis fans. She's adorable as Charlotte on Sex and the City, and she mentioned Paperclip and I just about died. You all know how I feel about Paperclip. That was just brilliant, brilliant, five years later and it still staggers me at how absolutely perfect it is. TV seriously isn't going to come up with a better episode than Paperclip, that's impossible.

Okay, I'm calm. Just checking out stuff in the X-Files Official Site because they take it down *sniff* Annabeth Gish is still my favorite actor on the show and Monica Reyes is still my favorite character but I love all the other characters too. Yes, even Diana Fowley. Oh, I joined a egroup with Fowley lovers! It's a riot!!! *lol*

And regarding my Scully rant below, I do love Scully. I adore Scully, it's just her fans drive me up the wall. Scully should NEVER be held up as a role model, not unless you want a mess of misogynistic views running rampant in the world. Scully is an extremely flawed, wonderfully grey character is not as strong as people make her out to be. She is definitely not one of the strongest females on the TV. She is, however, one of the most fascinating females characters I've seen on TV, and I find her flaws and her crankiness and her weaknesses interesting to watch. Besides, when she does have many great moments of tremendous strength: Apocrypha, Beyond the Sea, CBFR, Humbug<--big one, Pusher, Ice (one of the few episodes where Scully got along with a female), Anasazi (that shot was *brilliant*), Paperclip (mind you, Paperclip is my favorite episode of all time and every single person was brilliant in it), and Colony/End Game had my very favorite Scully ever. Her trying to save Mulder's life, sitting by his bed afterwards, and giving the loveliest smile I ever seen her give when he woke up was amazing :D:D:D:D:D

Seriously, I do love Scully. I don't like her, but I do love her. And on that pro-Scully note, I present you in my Quote of the Day, the greatest Scully moment ever ;)

Quote of the Day: "You set us up. You're in on this with Lucas Henry. This was a trap for Mulder because he helped put you away. Well, I came here to tell you that if he dies because of what you've done, four days from now, no one will be able to stop me from BEING THE ONE THAT WILL THROW THE SWITCH AND GAS YOU OUT OF THIS LIFE FOR GOOD YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!" - Dana Scully, "Beyond the Sea"

The doctor told me I have CTS, but a mild form, so it's not seriously, but I still have to watch the amount of time I spend typing. Minnie, if you're reading this, I know you're smirking. And the doctor gave me some medication for the inflammation and told me to check out some wrist guards. I'll see what I can do.

My Heartfelt Congratulations to Metamia and Anna on the Korean's victory over Italy. Girls, be proud of your country. I can't believe France, Portugal, Argentina, AND Italy are out of the World Cup.

Think Scott's jealous? ;) JEANNIE! You're back! And I love you for your reasons of rockage in number 1 and 2 and 5 (and you look gorgeous in yellow too ^_~)

Lany, I rather throw myself off Dunton Tower than embrace the Mary Kate/Ashely lifestyle, though my cousin is smart (A student) and cool (she's on the All Star Girl Soccer team) and no bimbo. Kerianne explains how I feel perfectly: old, the kind of old I associate with adults who look at their kids and say, "do you really do that kind of stuff?" *lol* If a 9-year-old wants to wear halter tops and jeans ripped at the butt and dance provocatively with her ten-year-old boyfriend, I'm a live-and-let-live kind of person. But it still icks me.

And go Kerianne! 95 and "This paper was a pleasure to read" and you're graduating before you're eighteen, you infant ;) I hope your graduation goes well. Mine would have been good had my mother not ruined it for me by asking why I didn't win more awards. I got so mad I couldn't eat any of the food and that's the only reason why I went. Good free food like that comes on very rare occasion. I stalked out and wouldn't talk to my mom on the way home. We were both so mad at each other. It's been three years and I still haven't forgiven her.

But I did make up for the food by going to my sister's graduation and pigging out on the food there. Only Glebe's food SUCKS. Glebe as a school is inferior to Woodroffe, my alma mater, I don't get why it has the better reputation. Its library has the worse layout I've seen in a library (the layout of Woodroffe is superb), the auditorium is a dingy, gymlike cage, whereas Woodroffe's auditorium was actually an auditorium with excellent acoustics and tech room, the teachers at Woodroffe could teach (most of them anyhow) and according to my sister, the teachers at Glebe couldn't tell their ass from their hands. The prom for Woodroffe cost $35 and was the best night of my life, great food and awesome dancing. The prom for Glebe cost about %50, there was only dancing and no food and my sister hated it. Our graduation ceremony had caps and gowns, hers didn't. People went barefoot and in shorts for hers. Didn't feel like a graduation at all. My sister only stayed in that school because all her friends were there. The student body was great and she fit in, but school-wise, she admitted Woodroffe was better She went to Woody for two year before switching to the "Elite" high school *snort*. Woodroffe was TOTALLY the better school. I loved my high school years. Beside excellent school facilities, I met Lany and Minnie there and I can't imagine my life without them.

Now university, on the hand...

Quote of the day: "Life is like a box of chocolates... Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in awhile there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless, brown paper wrappers" -- CSM "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man

My cousin's birthday is coming soon. She's nine, has her own CD player, listens to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and other currently-in songs, wears make-up and halter tops and mini-skirts and jewelry that I never even looked at in my teens year, she hangs with boys, and she goes out to eat ice cream and dances with her friends. She does more teenage stuff than I have ever done in my life and she's not even a decade old yet. I don't know if I feel inexperience&missed-out or old&washed-out around her.

As I feel pain in various body parts lately, I guess it's the latter. But my wrists have calmed down a bit so I can write something before the pain returns. Lany, I'm so glad you finally got your blog working! And the rave sounded like so much fun *sniff* I'm going to live vacariously through you. Go to concerts and raves and parties for me, all right?

Why it sucks to be me:
1. Can't go to raves and concerts. I can't take flashy lights or loud music at the same time. My brain does weird stuff.
2. I have ulcers. It makes me sound so old >_<
3. I still live at home.
4. I suffer from really bad vertigo. I can't go rock-climbing because of it. One meter up and the world spins. And going down long flights of stairs is insane O.o
5. My stupid bangs never behave the way I want them to!

Why it rocks to be me:
1. I'm Single :D
2. I have an awesome job
3. I have extremely cool friends!
4. For some unknown reason, I'm liked in my online communities. It kicks.
5. I'm one of those annoying people who can study and write an essay the night before and pull a I-so-did-not-deserve-that-high-a-score grade ^_^ Almost makes up for the ulcer!

My wrists are going to kill me for this, but this is important stuff.

LANY HAS GOTTEN A BLOG.

*Happy Dance* Lany's one of my dearest and loveliest RL friend. Some of you know her in person, others through me talking about her. Now you can all read her thoughts, which will be great fun because she's one of the most intelligent, opinionated, and articulate people I've met. Well, we will once she gets her layout going. If anyone wants to help her out with the pitas layout, email me and I'll refer her to you. I'll thank you forever if you do!

Or if you can't help her out that way, send her money! I'm trying to get her to move out with me to Montreal for our Masters and all funds will go to paying for the china-set and the 3000 piece CD collection ;)

An old form of torture back in England was to clasps shackles around the wrists of the victim and suspend them from the room that way, stretching their wrists painfully. A man who this happened to had extremely sore and painful wrists for months. I think I know how he feels for my own wrists are horrifically sore. They're not bad now, so I can type this out, but this morning they were aching something awful, and the fact that I was moving heavy books and heavy boxes of books from one shelve to another didn't help. So if I don't answer your email, chances are my wrists just aren't letting me.

Speaking of email, I check my inbox and I have 13 emails. WTF!? Last year around this time I had 4 max. That's what I get for joining two fandom >_< But I do like the dripper list I'm on, shipperish-psycho!fangirls aside (the sane ones are cool), and I wrote a fic that got approval from someone's who opinion I highly value :D Yes, she's one of the sane ones that write IC, nonschmoopy, X-Filish fics. I'll put up some links to them later when my wrists aren't hurting.

For now, I'm going recommand Scifinerdgrl's stuff. An Office Romance is amazing and answers the question that all S9ers been asking: What on earth did Monica Reyes see in that slimy bastard Brad Follmer? And has me rooting for Follmer/Reyes. That is so wrong! But it is one the best fics I've read in years, very Homicide:Life on the Streetish, big city, casefile, investigation, dumpsters *grin* And she remembered Reyes' gift from S8, bless her. She has another fic, Those Imperious Instincts, which scores point for being the most disturbing fic I ever read. I've read tons of fics that people claim are disturbing and they don't disturb me (which is sad because I'm easily disturbed and freaked out), but this fic made me feel like I was in some strange, surreal landscape where I didn't recognize anything anymore because my reaction to the events in the fics were so wrong. I thought it was beautiful >_< On the upside, it's a dripperfic, so I don't feel about recommanding it. I'm just queasy about my reaction to it.

Ammie, you freak, you've got me wanting to argue for the dark forces! Hey, Papatin's Hinoto may have convinced the Anikan in your to join the dark force, but you won't be able to convince me to join you. If Padme stood strong, so can I, though I'll always love her in my heart *sobs* Hey, forget Hinoto and Daisuke, I think we're the greatest love story of the century! :D

Except that you're cheating on MY Alison (hands off her! She's M-I-N-E!! We're working out China patterns!) and I think we're both having an affair with Satsuki-chan. Dark room are fun places ;)

Maria, I hope the sewing goes well. The outfit looks cool and yeah, that was one HUGE cow! O.o Show me pics when you're done! I feel like everyone owes me pics ;)

Alison, the jailbunny needed a break but she is with us in spirit. Look, her eyes are still here :D I figured I needed a layout change, and I think the colors here work really nice. It's simple and elegent and soothing.
Fine, I had to get rid of Meta's layout to get the stupid pitas to archive, but it ended up looking better than I thought. I like it. I'm going to keep it for a couple of months, and see if I can figure out a new layout.

As for Ammie making passes at you, she can try, but I know in the end, you'll come back to me. You better!!! *looks jealous*

Wow, my head is spinning. It took me all day to fix the links and the font size, and write that killer essay on Scully. And I've got more: Why Mulder was cool until Season 5, why shippers are wrong, and why D/R work so much better. btw, I'm a list of slobbering drippers. Kind of disillusioned. Many of them are shippers who drip because it keeps Doggett from getting with Scully, and it means they have the obnoxious shipper tendencies to look only at the cute-kissy-schmoopy parts and ignore the rest of the show. Add on they they hate anything that threatens the relationship or adds tension, meaning girls who show interest in Doggett are bitches and they freak out when Follmer looks at Reyes. Luckily, I've met some great, sane, intelligent drippers who likes the show for more than UST (and I've met the shippers of the same variety), but right now, my noromo side is screaming from being surrounded by sighing, cutesy, one-minded sap-loving fangirls >_<

Quote for the post: "Now, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! This man's name is Albert Hosteen. You should remember that.

Why Scully is not my Role Model

1. Hostile towards other women: Look at the following episodes: Conduit (Ruby/Darlene Morris), Fire (Pheobe Green), Sygyzy (Angela White), WotC (Bambi Barenbaum), Alpha (Karen Barquist), Oubliette (Lucy House), Kill Switch (Invisigoth) Mind Eye (Marty Somebody) True, Scully has gotten along with some women. There was “Ice” and “The Jersey Devil”, where Scully was friendly with women, so she can’t hate them all, and of course, Reyes, and Penny Northern, though PN was dying of cancer.

2. Whines Incessively: She blames Mulder and the X-Files for her lack of life. Check out Scully in “Never Again” and “all things", where she feels “unappreciated”, and complains that she doesn’t have the life she wants. And how many times have I heard, “Mulder, what are we doing here?” and “Mulder, that’s not an X-Files” and “Mulder, why don’t I have a desk?” (Note to Scully, and to all women: Men cannot read your minds. If you want a desk, TELL HIM. Don’t sit there and bitch and whine about it.)

3. She’s ungrateful: the famous Scully scenario: Her at a funeral or a deathbed, saying to a loved one that passed away, “I never let them know how much they meant to me.” (Paperclip, Max, Jump the Shark). You’d think she learns, but no, in the series finale, after she leaves Doggett, Reyes, Skinner and Kersh, all who busted their asses to save her and that snugglebunny of hers, does she even thank them or give them a parting glance? Hey, Doggett saved her life over and over again, didn’t he? Reyes delivered that brat of yours and was the person who woke up Kersh into saving Mulder. And Skinner!!!!!… if Scully owes something anything it’s Skinner. He REALLY put his neck out for her (Redux and Zero Sum are the nicest things that ever happened to Scully and she will never know.)

4. Homewrecker: Let’s see… there was “all things” where her affair with her professor destroyed his family, there’s “Conduit” where a family was already suffering enough and Scully took an extra step and told the authorities so they destroyed their house, and there’s her own family (ReduxII, A Christmas Carol)

5.Narcissistic: all things all things all thing all things (all things was my least favorite episode of all time). Add in “Milagro”, “Revelations”, “The Beginning”, “Oubliette”. So positive she’s that hot that she sprouts ridiculous theories when the truth is in her face, and can’t get over herself to admit she seen a spaceship when it’s glaring at her in the face. Her bullheadedness nearly cost a life of a young girl (Oubliette), and her need for the world to revolve around her demands is childish (Never Again, all things, A Christmas Carol, P/P) But the biggest rub of all is that when crazy stuff happens to other people, she dismisses them as lunatics, but when they happen to her, “God is talking to her” (Revelations, All Souls, all things).

6. Cold: OUBLIETTE!!!! It’s been six years and I still haven’t forgave her for that episode. If there was an episode where Scully needed to be kicked down and shoved into a box full of nails, that was it. It wasn’t a one-case scenario either. I present you: Mind Eye, Biogenesis, First Person Shooters, and Alpha, where she totally out-of-line with a depressed, ill woman who didn't deserve her pettiness. Let me also add that after destroying said people, Lucy House in Oubliette and Karen Barquist in Alpha, she shows no remorse or apologizes for how heartless she is. It’s, “Mulder, you had a connection with her. Isn’t that comforting at least?” AAAAAAUUUGGHHH!!!!

7. No better than Fowley: People hate Fowley, saying that she worked with Spender and with CSM and lied and cheated to Mulder. How's that difference from Scully? She worked with Spender (Triangle) and CSM (En Ami) and lied and cheated on Mulder (En Ami).

8. Psychotic: One word: “Orison”. Okay, so Pfaster was going to kill her, she had a horrifying past experience with him, he had her tied up and was running the bath water. I can’t say I blame her for shooting him when Mulder had him in custody, but she certainly lost her credibility as an sane, capable agent there, and not someone I would hold up as a role model to my nieces.

9. Lousy Mother: Why do people think she deserve a child? Watch “A Christmas Carol” and listen to the line, “I never knew how much I wanted children until I couldn’t have them” carefully. Really carefully. Wanting something after knowing you can’t have does not mean you want it because you want to love it. She wants a child to appease her biological clock. When she gets him, she abondons him with the wrong people and then goes psycho when they take him.

10. Won’t let men have fun: So I established that Scully dislikes most women, especially if Mulder shows an interest in them. I know a bunch of females who are equally psychotic to Scully respect and support her for that, since, you know, Mulder is her man and all *snort* No, he wasn’t. If Mulder wants to shag Pheobe, Bambi, Kristen, Angela, Diana, Marita, and whoever, he’s welcome to it, and I will fully support said females if they smack Scully upside the head when she pulled her territorial ice-cold bitchiness with them. She was not going out with Mulder and further more, she slaps back any attempt of emotions from Mulder (Triangle) or doesn’t go further with them (Pusher, Paper Hearts, Detour). If you’re going to frown on your partner showing interest in other women, at least allow him to have sex with you.

Hey, Reyes is not bitchy with Scully even though Doggett was in love with her (Scully) and lets Doggett knows that if he ever wants to bang her (Reyes), he knows where her apartment is. If only he were so inclined Grrrrr.. Take a hint, John.

I dont think Scully sucks, I just think she makes a LOUSY role model. Minnie never saw the big deal about her character since "Conduit". Minnie was the rightest :)

I have an extremely well-paying job for my age. I easily make twice as much as the average university student and since I work full-time during the summer I acculumate enough funds to keep me out of student loan debts and can save up a little for when I finally move out and live on my own in Montreal (one more year, one more year...) Apparently this ticks off my younger sisters, who has two crappy jobs that pays squat with ridiculous hours. She thinks she deserves my job because I'm "cheap" and "stingy" and she has an "lifestyle" that she needs money to keep up. Since I don't go out to movies and clubs and rockclimbing sessions, take guitar lessons or play in the Ottawa league of Ultimate and have no plans of paying $700 for a year of kung-fu, I don't deserve such a good job.

Screw her!! I've paid every single penny for my education and I give $400 a month to my brothers and my parents to help them out financially. And it's over $500 if you factor in that I give my sister money and do buy food and shampoo and medicine for *both* households. I may be stingy when it comes to my life style, but I am not stingy when it comes out to helping other. Good grief, I gave the whining sister $80! Gave, not lend, gave. After tuition is paid off and money is given to my family, I don't much left over for myself. So screw her. She takes money from the family. My parents gives her about $75 dollars a month, I give her money, and so does my brother. And my dad washes dishes for a Chinese restaurant, my mom cleans the church, and my brother is unemployed. I think it's totally selfish that my sister takes their money to pay for her lessons and movies and rockclimbing, then insinuates that I don't deserve such a great job and she does because she has such a lifestyle to support.

Not to mention she hardly helps out in the house. My mom does her laundry for her. I do my chores at my brother's house, then run to my mother's to help her with my nieces. If my sister is so inclined to take money from the family, she should at least help out with the dishes and the kids. I know for a fact that if she had my job, she wouldn't give a single penny to my family, no matter how bad our finances are (and it's pretty bad right now.) All of it would go to her "lifestyle". She probably wouldn't even think of paying off tuition *roll eyes* So as far as I'm concerned, it was much right that I got the higher-paying job :D

Hey, Kerianne, congrats on giving the two weeks notice. I know you didn't like the job, so it's good to see you don't have to put up with it anymore. As for the boss thing, it's only one time and you'll never have to talk to him/her again. And you must send me some of those fics you were talking about. I'll read the one you wrote later this weekend.

Further proof that Alison is cool :) And Ammie too! Since you were willing to argue from that side, I'm going to argue your anti-Gimpy post *lol* And it's wonderful to have Sats back. That blade is COOL! You better give me pictures of the finished results.

I've been working full time all summer and when I'm not working, I'm bouncing between houses cleaning and babysitting. Geh. Stupid sister who like NEVER does chores or helps out. I totally don't have a summer this year. On the bright side my job is wonderful. It's Public Servant week and they've been feeding me :) Nothing makes me happier than free food.

I am thinking of either taking Krav Maga or Yoga. Need to exercise more. Seeing Agent Reyes' athletic body onscreen every week makes me feel sluggish and flubby. Lany or Young Mikey Boy, one of you two want to go to the gym this weekend? Aaaaaahhhh >_< I can't believe I'm willing to put myself through that kind of torture.

Speaking of Reyes, Fox is re-running 4-D tomorrow :D:D:D It's the only Reyes centric episode, but it's a fairly good one. I love the D/R interaction and Scully was great. It also had a cool killer who likes cutting out women's tongues ^^ Yes, I am still in my X-Files kick. Sorry about that. I was expecting it to simmer down after the series finale, but it's only gotten worse. Nostalgia, I guess. The show was brilliant, wonderfully complex and shocking in some episodes, profound and moving in others, tense and entertaining for most of them. Sure, you had your clunkers *coughtallthingscough*, but for the most part, it was the most thought-provoking, absorbing, intelligent, emotional rollercoaster ride TV ever came up with. It's going to be months before I get out of my system, especially since Fox is re-running S9 episodes that I missed and a friend from France might be sending me the S8 ones I didn't see.

Boy, if I were to make a website, I'd call it "Fickle Hysteria", hysteria because I go hysterical over my obsessions to the point of unprettiness,and fickle because the focus of my obsessions change with a drop of a pin. I like to think of it as me being eclectic ^^

Oh, Jenni, I know this is way belated, but I *LOVE* that pic you drew of Firath. Very pretty indeed.
