Canada pwns Phelps, sex against cancer, collecting cat by car and other links of interst  
Fred Phelps' group of fundie fucknuts were held up at Canadian border and failed to show at the funeral they intended to picket. (The funeral of the victim of the recent gruesome beheading at a public bus.)

Awww. What shame they won't get to spread their hate all this time around. (As they were declaring their intention to do here.) How sad for them, truly. Sad, sad, sad. I could laugh at their sadness all day. Canada 1 Phelps 0. Gooooooooooo Canada!

Also, I so want to see "The Pastor Phelps Project: a fundamentalist cabaret" now - it sounds brilliant.

(Also, WTF PETA?)

Meanwhile, this secret posted to [info]fandomsecrets made me smile and awww. Adama and Roslin for the win.

While on the pair, this sex for the good of you story, wherein NHS direct claims [e]ndorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles made me envision Cottle giving doctor's orders "get laid" to Laura, so her body can better fight the cancer. Further proof that yes, BSG has eaten my brain.

Cute cat story alert: A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place. I love that he's a Norwegian Forest cat as well. Us Norwegians, we're particular, yes.

The irony, it tastes like irony: France's anti-immigrant party, the National Front, is selling its headquarters to a Chinese university.

If you're confused by why Georgia and Russia are having a go at each other, this briefly explains the background. In short: It's a long story that doesn't reflect that good on either Georgia's or Russia's government. Or the response from some countries. Meanwhile, people die.

A book offers a look at Egypt's marriages problems. But you know, this girls are not supposed to be actively seeking something, a girl simply exists for someone to marry or divorce her. To say she wants something is seen as impolite is still something that lingers in our society too, though things have and are changing.

Right. Plan of the day: Work (blah), not drowning (rain blah), feed and pet the cat, write on Bill-and-Laura-in-raptor-crash-on-Earth fic for [info]falena84, make and eat dinner, kill Azgalor like the dead demon he should be (WoW) and sleep. Wow, my life is exciting.

Aww, that secret gave me warm fuzzies. I have fallen so hard for Adama and Roslin.
Camilla Sandman: Having a snuggle[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 11:21 am (UTC)
Aww! I was kinda hoping you would because I'm me like that. And they really are awesome and all the more so for not being the typical people to get a love story.

How far are you into BSG episodes now?
Caroline: bsg starbuck[info]denorios on August 12th, 2008 11:57 am (UTC)
I just watched 'Scar' yesterday, so that...nearing the end of season two? I've not been watching it as often as I'd like - damn real life, work and moving getting in the way, but now that I'm settled I'm sure I'll be watching it more!

I need some Adama/Roslin icons, don't I? Just one of Starbuck is not enough!
Camilla Sandman: Looks[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 12:20 pm (UTC)
Ah yeah, the first of the Lee/Kara hook-ups that weren't. You got so much to go, and some of the best Adama/Roslin bits too. Season two has an... Interesting season finale, yes.

Yes, you do.
The Whore: hugitout[info]babylon_whore on August 12th, 2008 11:34 am (UTC)
That fandomsecret....I just wanna hug whoever posted that so frakking hard for many many reasons
Camilla Sandman: *hugs*[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 11:44 am (UTC)
Yeah. I've been in a few relationships myself, but I am at the end of my 20s and am single, so I relate to a bit of it. But who says you have to find 'true' love before 25? Your life doesn't end just because you get older, unlike what some media portrayal will have you believe.
The Whore[info]babylon_whore on August 12th, 2008 11:47 am (UTC)
Well thank jeebus for that, cos I'm in my late 20's and have had one brief relationship sometime back when I was like 20 and there are days when you can't help but think...dang, maybe I really missed the boat on all this stuff...but frak that. I've still got days left!
Camilla Sandman: Team Awesome[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 11:54 am (UTC)
You got years and years left. And you know what? Better to wait and find something worthwhile and actual love and than to settle just to have something and be miserable for it. (Not that I think you ever find something perfect. We're human and flawed and so will the person we fall in love with be, so you cannot expect it all to magically work without a hitch.) People do marry older and older - last week, a couple in their 80s got married here and it was the first for both.

made me envision Cottle giving doctor's orders "get laid" to Laura, so her body can better fight the cancer.

So? Write it as a fic, woman! Crackfic is fun to write, you know. And I owe you innuendo ideas after you helped me with mine... ;)

I has a new haircut. And I have gone sort of blonde, whee!
Camilla Sandman: Create[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 11:46 am (UTC)
I is busy! Elisa did a whole fic request yesterday and I've been writing on that.

She's not dead, she realises, which shouldn't really be a surprise since she's around to realise it. But Bill, oh Bill, and for a painful half eternity she thinks maybe he is. Then she turns her head slightly and feels his breath against her cheek. He's breathing, and she fumbles for one of his hands to feel the pulse in his wrist too.

Life. Life, and she has to kiss it, pressing her lips against the outline of his veins.


See? I've been productive and writing and good. Crackfic will have to wait. I am nice to my friends :P

Blonde again? Can I make jokes?
Sarah: walk together[info]lotus79 on August 12th, 2008 12:03 pm (UTC)
Nice bit of fic. Good you. *offers a malteser*

*sorta* blonde. But you can make jokes if you like. I am sure I will be taking the opportunity to claim the odd "bleach moment" now.
Camilla Sandman: The Brain[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 12:17 pm (UTC)
Why, thank you! But I better save that till after work, oops.

It's always good to have an excuse handy for moments when the brain forgets it's supposed to think. It's quite mean of it how it does that.
Sarah[info]lotus79 on August 12th, 2008 12:57 pm (UTC)
Yes, mushybrain needs an out every now and then.

look at this: "please do all my research for me, because I can't be bothered!"
Camilla Sandman: WTF[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 01:06 pm (UTC)
... Are you kidding me? Just google and find a wiki for Star Wars and BSG, FFS. Information for all your wants on those. Pretty sure it's against the ff.net TOS as well - can't post non-stories, yup.

Note-August 10: The questionnaire I promised is up. It will be added to over the next two or three days. Hopefully, I'll have many responses. Anonymous reviews have been enabled, so everyone can respond. (Hint, hint: This is a good time to review my other stories! ~_-

.... *groan*
Sarah: bitch please[info]lotus79 on August 12th, 2008 01:39 pm (UTC)
Yes indeed. And not to mention it appears he (why am I so sure it's a he?)expects each question to be answered in essay format.

I would like further information on the fleets of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. This includes background, notable commanders, and capital ships.

Um, yeah, I'll get right on that. NOT.
Camilla Sandman[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:49 pm (UTC)
A certain tone to it all, maybe?

Hmm, to write an essay for a lazy, non-researching author or to write porn for a friend... Such a hard choice, that.
Siraj[info]siraj on August 13th, 2008 06:25 am (UTC)
or porn in general?
Sarah[info]lotus79 on August 13th, 2008 08:05 am (UTC)
indeed. He's posted two more pages to his questionnaire, now:

1. Characters you would like to encounter.
2. Things you think would add an interesting twist to the story line.
3. Star Wars universe planets/systems to visit (Background please!)
4. Ideas for ship/squadron/planet names.


Now he wants us to work out the plot for him, too! *is sore from laughing*
Siraj[info]siraj on August 12th, 2008 08:44 pm (UTC)
"Yes indeed. And not to mention it appears he (why am I so sure it's a he?)expects each question to be answered in essay format."

Because we males can be (and are) lazy twats like that.
Sarah: kara[info]lotus79 on August 13th, 2008 08:12 am (UTC)
Well, the one I live with can be. But so can I. ;)

I think it's more the type of fic, since it seems to be all space-battle oriented (which is very "fanboy-ish") as opposed to character/relationship oriented, like us fangirls like to write.
Siraj[info]siraj on August 13th, 2008 04:19 pm (UTC)
I am, and I'll freely admit it too.

That's true. We can also blame society for pre-determined gender roles too.
Elisa: the look of love[info]falena84 on August 12th, 2008 12:48 pm (UTC)
Hee! I like this! I really really like it.

I shouldn't be checking LJ, I'm supposed to work on my thesis like a mad thing, because I just realised August will be over before I know it. Damn!
Camilla Sandman: Love[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 01:00 pm (UTC)
:D I do my best to please and I'm working on the "hell yes" sex bit too, heh.

Only two weeks and a few days now, really. Then you'll be here and it's too late to work. So no LJ, you naughty girl. Wooooooooooork.
dr. drea[info]colorstoobright on August 12th, 2008 11:37 am (UTC)
What the hell, Fred Phelps.

And sometimes I wonder why we Christians get a bad name...
Camilla Sandman: *facepalm*[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 11:47 am (UTC)
Not to worry, Phelps gives humanity a bad name. Christianity is just his excuse.
Bye-Bye, Blackbird[info]doubtful_salmon on August 13th, 2008 01:59 am (UTC)
The fortunate thing for you is that I don't think people ever blame Christianity at large for Fred Phelps. The only people I'd think would be stupid enough to believe that Fred Phelps is a model of any form of positive Christianity are the ones who are following him around and picketing with him. So don't worry...I've never met a non-Christian who would even consider the possibility of thinking of Phelps as a figurehead of Christianity. Maybe a figurehead of douchebags.
longtimegone[info]longtimegone on August 12th, 2008 11:57 am (UTC)
"Canada is Doomed"? "Prepare to Meet Thy God"? Seriously? ahahahahaha
Camilla Sandman: No dissent![info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 12:09 pm (UTC)
From all accounts, they have not a trace of irony in them.

They proclaimed Sweden was doomed and facing the wrath of God a few years back and I'm still waiting on that.
Anna[info]hellga on August 12th, 2008 01:08 pm (UTC)
The BBC summary is missing some crucial pieces. Such as, Ossetia was never a part of Georgia historically. South Ossetia was given to them by the Soviet government in 1921, with the condition that if it ever wants independence, it should be given to them, and Georgia signed the document. Apparently, a document almost a hundred years old doesn't count anymore. *eyeroll*
Camilla Sandman[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:47 pm (UTC)
Hmm. Yeah, I figured there's a lot more backstory to it all. Always seems to be with territorial disputes of various character.

The Georgian government didn't exactly endear itself to me from the start with attacking a few hours after a ceasefire. They were the aggressor - not that I agree with the Russian response, but the Georgian government seemed to pretend they were just suddenly attacked unprovoked, to which I say the hell?
Püppi[info]tinwetari on August 12th, 2008 02:18 pm (UTC)
"'Sexercise' yourself into shape" What kind of headline is that? LOL
Camilla Sandman: Cylon[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:44 pm (UTC)
One designed to make people click it. And it work. Third most read on the BBC site when I saw.
e.k.: misc - canada woot[info]ashiya on August 12th, 2008 02:57 pm (UTC)
I love my country. XD ♥ Stay the hell out of my country, Fred Phelps!

Although your post title made me wonder if you were talking about Michael Phelps, who's pwning every other swimmer over in Beijing and I got confused. :P
Camilla Sandman: *facepalm*[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:44 pm (UTC)
Poor swimmer Phelps to be ever confused with fucknut Phelps. That would be sad.
Julie[info]un_sedentary on August 12th, 2008 04:54 pm (UTC)
Haha, man, you have no idea how amused I was when I'd read about the WBC's plans and about Canada's response scaring them into possible backing-off. And I'm so happy it worked.

I mean really, it's one thing to hear about the shit they stir up down south and to shake our heads at it, but crossing the border to do it to us? Gone too far.
Camilla Sandman: Catharsis[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:43 pm (UTC)
They were threatening to come to Sweden once too. Never happened. What a shame, truly.
Nikki: #3[info]princess_spygal on August 12th, 2008 05:40 pm (UTC)
Aww, that secret is just lovely. I love the nice secrets you get on fandomsecrets.

Now, is it just me or is there a Doctor Who Secrets comm, because I swear I stumbled upon a fairly recently created one last week, it had about 5 secret posts and now I cannot find it for the life of me! I figured if anyone would know about it, you probably would!
Camilla Sandman: The TARDIS[info]misscam on August 12th, 2008 05:42 pm (UTC)
[info]who_secrets, I think.
Nikki: #5[info]princess_spygal on August 12th, 2008 06:53 pm (UTC)
Yeah that's it. I knew you'd know! Thanks =)
Tuesday[info]everysecondtues on August 12th, 2008 07:27 pm (UTC)
I remember that cat story. It's still really cute. As always, thank you for all the interesting links!
Bex[info]bex245 on August 13th, 2008 02:08 pm (UTC)
OMG new header. Pretty. :)
(Okay, you probably changed it ages ago, but I've been away, okay?! :P)

I totally thought you meant the swimmer Phelps in the title. lolz. Am I a bad person for not having heard of the other Phelps guy?? =/

That fandom secret actually makes me warm and fuzzy inside. I wanna give that person a really big hug!! XD

made me envision Cottle giving doctor's orders "get laid" to Laura, so her body can better fight the cancer.

*dies* Write it!! Please!!! XD
Camilla Sandman: Catharsis[info]misscam on August 13th, 2008 04:13 pm (UTC)
Got it two weeks ago, actually ;)<

You're a lucky person. Other Phelps is a total fuckwit and I got introduced to him back when he proclaimed the tsunami that hit Thailand, Sri Lanka and countries around there so hard was really God's punishment of Sweden. And they proclaimed they were glad for a particular young Swedish boy who drowned because he was better dead than growing up there.

They've only gottten worse since.

Yeah, me too.

:P I got other projects on first, so that particular one will have to wait. So little time, so many potential fics...

And how was your holiday?
Bex: [BSG] Mary (fangirls)[info]bex245 on August 13th, 2008 11:43 pm (UTC)
See, I've been away too long!!

WTF?! What has he got against Sweden?! Fucktard.

Haha, okay, cool.... :P

Awesome thanks! :D

*icon love* XD
