lost in the mix

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

It's been way too long since Fandom's had some therapy and after some of the goings on, I think we fucking need it. So, Fandom denizens far and wide, what the fuck is going on? How the fuck are you? What the fuck is keeping you busy? How the fucking are you feeling?

Catch up with each other, talk it out, wonder what the fuck you got yourself into (oh new students, you'll get used to shit, we promise) and look ahead to the future! It's therapy. Sit down on the couch and let it all out, Fandom.

I have been doing well and even went out on a date for the first time! But I have just received troublesome news about my father, and now I am worried.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Well, the date's good, at least, right? I mean, every single fucking person on this island probably has a story of parental woe so I'm sure someone better than me can advise you on that.

Second dates happening?

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

I'm doing okay. Not zapping anyone, anyway, and I can block out everyone's thoughts pretty good. And I'm getting better about ignoring all the ugly language people love using here!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

That actually sounds pretty goddamn boring. Come on, nothing juicier than that?

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

I have not been naked NEARLY enough.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Whose fault is that?

[likes_scoundrels]

I've been here for just two weeks and I've discovered I have a daughter in the future, a twin brother I never knew about whose son from the future is also here, and that my birth father isn't dead and is instead a very much alive famous Jedi knight.

I don't think anything can surprise me now.

At least this place is a lot more interesting than the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies. Plus? Boys.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Ah, the fucking family tree of insanity. There's a few of those here. At least your head hasn't exploded? And I've heard boys are a nice distraction. Sampled a good mix of them?

[intraspective]

I can do magic! Well. One kind! It's super exciting and awesome!

Zack is awesome!

Centurion is sometimes, too, but I'm still kinda annoyed at the whole class thing. And Tyler-sensei is, well, back to Tyler-sensei but he'll be the last to know 'cause uh, yeah, hello. That'd be losin' lettin him know that.

Or something!

Zack and I burned things in my trash can and avoided setting the dorms on fire? Does that count as exciting and new? It was nice!

I have a new sib and she's cute, cute, cuuute and people have said they're going to visit and so I? I am pretty excellent.

And awesome. But I am always awesome, uh huh.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You mentioned Zack a few times there. I feel you should elaborate on that. Well, that and the fucking magic. What kind of magic?

[glacial_queen]

Let's see. There's a boy I like who I think might like me back. I have a new rival and we spent a few hours during the blizzard trading polite threats which was a lot more fun than I expected. I got into a major fight with someone a friend because he refused to look past his own prejudices and I accidentally said something I should have. I also have to talk to my roommate so we can get past the totally hot making out that we did when we were both under a love potion that I was responsible for. That same love potion that made me break my ex-girlfriend's heart because I said I loved her when I really didn't.

Uhh...so a lot of ups and downs, I guess.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You're right, that's a lot of fucking ups and downs. You've got the boy, the enemy, the friend that might not be a friend anymore and and exes. You're the complete fucking package.

He might like you back? Haven't asked for sure?

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

I still don't know half of what's going on here but I think I cuddled with a girl the other day. Well, she sat on my lap and kissed my nose and I didn't get freaked out and she didn't get freaked out and we stayed like that so. Maybe?

I'm also fairly certain the classes I'm taking this semester might exhaust me mentally and physically. It's almost nice to know that.

[wwiii]

I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that about half the population of the island seems to already know me, either because they knew some other me, or because there was a course here once that had a lecture about me.

... Seriously.

Actually, I'm kind of flattered.

I'm still more or less covering my wings with my coat, but I'm not really freaking out about hiding them, either. I just feel kind of silly, having a set of wings and then having to explain to people that I've been in the air with them maybe three times in my entire life.

And there are a lot of pretty girls around here. I can forgive the inclement weather because of this fact.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think you got the short end of the wing stick. You can't even tell I've got a fucking pair. Pretty goddamn handy, if I don't say so. They know you because of the wings or because you're famous?

Wings gotta be an attractive thing to girls, right? At least get their attention.

[puppy_fair]

Jen and I had what has got to be the weirdest breakup ever.

Oh! Oh! But Mat says he's going to teach me how to behave around ladies!

... I am not sure why my mun is laughing.

Oh yeah, and Ino and I have been hanging out a lot! ... Her dad kinda threatened me, I think, but I'm not planning on hurting her or anything. She's one of my best friends. I think she's enjoying the armor and materia I set her up with! So I'm going to totally have to keep my eyes open next time I'm in Midgar, in case there's something better that she can use.

... No word from Angeal, yet. I miss him.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Does Mat himself know how to act around the ladies? Let's hope it's not the blind leading the fucking blind. And are there ladies you're aiming to impress?

Besides Ino. Oh wait. JUST FRIENDS even if her dad's giving you that kind of talk.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Graduation is way too freaking close. I don't want to leave. I don't want to think about how other stuff that's far more important is going to shake out.

And I still have to dance in spandex.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Eventually, sweetie, we are going to have to talk about all that, not just keep avoiding.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Things have been sucking, but I'm doing okay. They're getting better.

My head's fine, my side's healing up. Still have to talk to Azula though.

Jak at least talks to me without yelling? 18 days since the break-up.

And I have all this other stuff that's hard to cope with about the break-up and Jak getting hurt and Roy knowing another me and graduation being too close, but I have a great plan for dealing, which is fighting bad guys in Baltimore. See, it's public service, and I feel saner and happier afterward! Plan!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You're not having a good time of it at all, are you? Injured and with an ex. It's good those two aren't related but still not fucking good. Anything good happening besides the crimefighting?

[likethegun]

I'm all over the place, really. Some days, all I want to do is lie in bed and mope. Some days I make myself so busy that I can't even think. Some days I do stupid crap like let Chuck Bass get me high so I forget to be miserable for a bit. And then I start all over again.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You don't sound like you're coping well at all. The smoking, I can get behind that but are you even trying to get over shit or just sort of drifting?

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

I just got dumped for being pushy and, you know, caring. *grumble grumble grouse something in an obscure dialect of latin*

Otherwise, my mother has signed a death warrant for my brother and I and I'm tired of playing games and being vague about things so I'm just fricking telling people when they ask me about the weird stuff.

But I'm alive. That's better than it could be.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You got dumped, have a death warrant out on you but you're alive? You gonna be able to solve any of those?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

All is well.

Which means that any minute now, something terrible is likely to happen OR I'll manage to fuck it up royally. You know, how I do.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Kind of a pessimist, aren't you?

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

I'm working on casting because the woman upstairs *glares at mun* had to be TRAVELING today.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound so hard. Stop complaining!

[nodaintyflower.livejournal.com]

I am settling in okay. I have a new job and I can be more myself here, but technology is confusing!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Technology is always going to be confusing but it's pretty goddamn helpful. Just wait till you discover shit like video game consoles and smoothie makers.

[bitten_notshy]

I lost the benefits on one of my friends with benefits. If I'm honest, I know I'm mostly upset because I thought our arrangement would last at least to the end of the school year, and it didn't, and maybe I should have tried harder to keep him.

I'm trying hard not to fall for someone else.

I got into a fight with a good friend, and I don't think we'll ever be able to talk it out even if we make a sort of peace.

But classes are amazing this term, and I'm waiting on a part in the play. That's all good, right?

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

What's stopping you from the feelings crap? They're not so bad, I've found out. They can actually be pretty fucking nice.

And it sounds like a lot of people here can agree to disagree but that grudge is always going to be there. Sort of.

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

This place is weird. What's even weirder is that I'm sort of settling in and occasionally being social. I'm not used to that and I'm definitely not used to what feels like most of the people in any given room giving off vibes that mean they're something more then human or that they've got a touch of the Real World on them.

Let me say it again, this place is weird.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

This place is really fucking weird but that's what gives it its charm. Is the Real World bad shit or something?

[life_inshadow]

MY GIRLFRIEND ISN'T A HEDGEHOG ANYMORE.

I am *awesome.*

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

You made her a non hedgehog? Congrats!

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

I never thought I would end up in a place where my time travel was mundane.

I miss my wife. I miss our kid. I miss Chicago. But I'm making friends, and the library is amazing.

So ... better than could be expected, to sum up.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Can they not visit? The wife and kid?

[gunandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Not much has been happening to me but I hate the fucking cold.

[therewaslife]

I'm finding this school a lot easier to adjust and participate in than my last one. Most people are slightly surprised when I tell them where I'm from but they accept it easily. I can make due with the questions they ask.

I miss Silas. I miss Miss Lupescu and my parents. I don't know if I'll ever see them again so that's never going to be a happy spot for me. I'll just continue on and hope I do them proud.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I think I was better off in Thailand.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

And why's that?

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

I'm great! Nobody hates me here!

Well, nobody hates me here that didn't already hate me before when I was back in New York.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Are you used to people hating you?

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Well. Let's see: I'm sure you've heard of that incident with Dinah. A terrible miscalculation and misjudgment on my part. I'm annoyed at myself for losing control and it seems my investment is going down the drain, now I'm being hounded by one of Dinah's friends, which is both amusing and annoying. Met another new person with an ability that could be all manners of useful.

I've also faced some truths: Despite my best attempts to ignore them, my issues aren't going to go away.

Oh, did I mention my imaginary mother is nagging away in my head? And I feel like if I lose anymore control I might end up losing my mind again?

Other than that I'm entirely fine.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard of the incident with Dinah, no. I don't tend to pay that much fucking attention to you wee little students but it sounds like a barrel of laughs. Might wanna talk to someone about all these control issues.
