"Oi tramp! I think you need to clean your house mate; it looks like some kids have thrown shit at it. Oh my! Sorry! I think they did, Hmm... I wonder who that was!" It was one of Faye's little goons. I couldn't even be bothered to answer her, I just carried on walking. No point in ever listening to the girls at school, I learnt a long time ago that ignoring them is the best way to get through the day.
Now Faye, Faye is one of those girls that everyone seems to be afraid of, although there is really nothing scary about her. If anyone ever says anything bad about Faye, she somehow finds out and makes that person's life hell. I don't really understand her, she is actually really pretty, if she wasn't such a bitch I think she would really shine out. She has long strawberry blond long hair, it's beautiful. Faye says it's her natural hair colour, but who's going to believe that? Not me, that's for sure. Faye has green eyes, nothing like Jakes cute green eyes, her eyes are more dark and scary looking. She always calls me a tramp and all kinds of other horrible names, so it's not surprising it's caught on by her little followers. I'm not actually sure how many followers she has, they all seem to blur into just her to me. None of them are really horrible, well maybe they are, but they only do things because it's what she wants them to do. It's pathetic! I really wish that people would just do what they want, speak their own mind. Then maybe school wouldn't be as bad, or at least I might not get so much trouble from everyone.
Today is a day that I have Games/P.E, the subject I really hate, but I go anyway. I get changed into my jogging bottoms and t-shirt and walked out to the field where everyone else is, including my horrible teacher, Miss Collins. "Kate, you're actually going to join in today? Well that's a first." Miss Collins really doesn't like me, probably because I'm not a natural at sport like Faye. Ugh! It makes me sick how she spends all her time yelling at me for getting things wrong and complimenting Faye on every single thing she does. What a pain in the ass! She probably fancies Faye, everyone bloody does, a lot of the male teacher do, which I think is gross! And as Miss Collins in gay, I'm sure she fancies her too. Anyway, once the lesson got started, it turned out we had to run around the field five bloody times! Now that would probably take me around two days, but luckily Miss made us come back to her while I was still on my second lap, as everyone else had already finished their fifth. It's hard to believe that I run that slow, as I run from bullies most days, but I guess smoking doesn't help. Miss kept me back to put the posts and stuff away as I was the last one to do the laps, or at least that was her excuse, I think it's just because she's a bitch. I couldn't wait to get out of the lesson as it was the last, so she decides to keep me back and waste my time. I think you might have got the message that I really don't like her.
I got back to the changing rooms and picked up my clothes from under the sink where I had left them. Once I put them on I realised.. OH MY GOD!! Someone, IE Faye has cut up my top and trousers! They were still wearable but where in tatters, as if I really was a tramp. I really should of just changed back into my joggers, but obviously I'm just not that smart and just sneaked out of the changing rooms and started to walk home, hoping that no one would actually see me. To late though, I had to walk straight into a crowd of girls, which was actually Faye and her friends. I would of turned around and walked the other way, but they had already seen me so there really wasn't any point. "Wow Kate, you really are a tramp. Can you not afford new clothes?" Faye once more.
"For once will you just get the fuck out of my face!!" I realised just a little too late what I had said and who I had said it too. Faye had me by my hair and threw to me the ground, which didn't actually hurt that much. I hoped that that would be the end of that, but she grabbed me by the shirt and pushed her face right into mine. "Don't you ever speak to me like that against biatch!" Biatch was her funny way of saying bitch, don't ask why because I have no idea, it's just her thing. She punched me in the face, so hard I fell to the ground again. She walked off with her friends giggling, leaving me there to bleed. I WAS BLEEDING! My nose had started to bleed. Great! Now I'd look so much better walking home. But I didn't move, I just lay there wishing I knew how to stop all this. Loads of kids from school walked past me without even a second glance at me. Even some parents with young children just walked past. They probably thought I was in a fight or something, which technically isn't true as I did no fighting.
At some point I managed to get up and go home. I went straight up to my bedroom, hoping that my Dad would not see me, luckily he was in the kitchen, so he just heard me come in but didn't look or say anything. Pretty normal stuff for him really. Once I opened my bedroom door I found Jake sat on my bed. "What in the hell happened to you??" Jake always worries about me.
"My stupid gob, that's what happened to me." My eye had swollen up like a golf ball, so I found it hard to see. God I must of looked attractive!
"What happened to your clothes? Who was it?"
"Who do you think it was?" Anger getting the better of me, "Faye of course! She must of cut up my clothes while I was in games, then on the way home she was proper in my face, and obviously being the stupid get that I am, I told her to get out of it... So she punched me." I looked at myself in the mirror, bloody hell I did look bad. I really shouldn't have bothered replying to her, but I was in such a bad mood anyway because of games, I just couldn't help myself. Life just seems to be a bit of a bitch sometimes. Jake had started to roll up a joint, which was exactly what I needed. He always knew how to make everything better. But I could smell something funny which distracted me; I went over to my window and sat just outside it on the roof was a big lump of dog shit in a bag!! Will this day ever get any better? I grabbed a broom from the corner of my room and knocked the poo off my roof. Just in time for my Dad to step outside the house and have it nearly land on him. He looked at it, and then looked up at me. He obviously was in a good mood because he didn't yell, thank god, I couldn't deal with it today, but he gave me the most horrifying look. "Don't worry Dad; I'll get rid of it." I was kind of scared to speak, and I was trying to hide my ripped uniform from him. I grabbed Jakes hand and pulled him out the door with me, made him pick up the bag, no way was I going to! We walked a little down the road and into a field, where we dumped the bag into a bush. There was no dog bins about, and we couldn't be bothered to try and find one. I told Jake that this had been the shittiest day of my life, which was kind of amusing as he was holding shit. But anyway he suggested that we got drunk as he had brought round booze.
As soon as we got back into my room Jake pulled out a bottle of Apple Sourz, which tastes amazing! We did shots of them, one after another. I lost count of how many we did. We also did shots of vodka, which to us, didn't taste that nice, but we really wanted to get smashed, so we did loads of them as well. It was great! I was really dizzy by the end of it all. We had finished all the drink. I suddenly had a surge of energy and jumped up to turn up the music, but being as clumsy and as drunk as I am, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Jake laughed, not in a mean way, in his nice but drunken way. He asked me if I was Okay, but I couldn't reply as I was laughing so much! I rolled over onto my back, I was looking up at him, and he was standing over me. He looked so sexy, hair hanging down over his face. God he was gorgeous! He tried to pull me up off the floor, but whoops! He fell on top of me instead. I'm not sure if I purposely did this, or if it was just because we were both drunk and couldn't keep balance but either way, he was on top of me and we were giggling away. He didn't even try to move off of me. The warmth of his body against mine made me shiver with want. I wanted him. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything. But he got up off me after a few moments of pure pleasure of being so close to him and layed down on my bed. I realised that I was still wearing my ripped uniform, haha! I had gone out in it earlier and didn't even realise it! I picked up some clothes off the floor ready to go and change in the bathroom when Jake grabbed hold of my hand. He pulled me onto the bed with him, which gave me a shock, but was also what I was hoping for. He looked into my eyes, as if he was looking into my soul. I knew it was time for us to take things further. I wanted it, but I was so scared. Butterflies flapped around in my stomach as I looked deep into his beautiful eyes. I realised he was still holding my hand, which was now covered in sweat as I was sort of panicking. But he came close to me and whispered in my ear.. "I love you." Before I could even think or realise what he had said, he pulled me to him and kissed me, not just a peck, but a full on kiss, one that makes your knee's wobbly, your tummy turn, your heart beat faster and faster. I was going red, I could feel the heat in my face and he kissed me over and over. I love you.. it went round and round in my head. He loved me. My dreams were all coming true at once. Jake, my best friend loves me!
Afterwards while we were laying in my bed, still sweating and breathing heavily, silence had taken us over. After 10 minutes of this silence I decided I should say something, and this is what came out of my mouth, "I think I'm in love with you." Jake looked at me as if I was mad, as if nothing had just happened, he jumped up, quickly put on his clothes and walked out the door. He left me there naked in my bed, without saying a word. Does he love me? Was it a lie? What's happening? I eventually fell to sleep.

Welcome to Windbreak House.
Celebrating 20+ Years of Writing Retreats! (founded 1996)
In the center of the nation, deep in the grasslands of western South Dakota, essayist and poet Linda M. Hasselstrom grew up as an only child on a family cattle ranch homesteaded by a Swedish cobbler in 1899.
Today she invites you to benefit from a writing retreat on that same ranch. Come to the house where she discovered the Great Plains outside her windows, where she began to write the poetry and non-fiction books that have established her as one of the strongest voices on behalf of the prairie.
Linda holds a BA in English and Journalism, an MA in American Literature, and has been a teacher of writing for more than 45 years. She has hosted writing retreats at her ranch since 1996.
Not a writer but a reader? Enjoy Linda's vivid descriptions of her life and work on the ranch, as a writer, and as an advocate for the preservation of the prairies and the people and wildlife who inhabit them.

In honor of National Poetry Month, and specifically National Cowboy Poetry Week (April 17th through the 23rd), I recorded some stories and readings as a tribute to Badger Clark, South Dakota's first Poet Laureate. I was inspired by a number of writers and poets during my childhood-- notably Mari Sandoz and Badger Clark, who each wrote about the west that I knew from my life on the ranch.

Last year some of my work appeared in
South Dakota Magazine
In the May/June issue, "Letters to Graduates"
My letter was one of a number chosen for publication. I wrote about my expectations for my life as I was graduating college, how I have accomplished some of my goals, and how I have come to believe that, as my father used to quote, "a man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be."
In the July/August issue, "Saving South Dakota's Birds of Prey: The Black Hills Raptor Center"
One of my favorite local non-profits, the Black Hills Raptor Center is in the process of expanding their mission of education of the public and rehabilitation of raptors and owls by building a new facility. I hope my article will bring them more publicity and donations. Chip in a little to help the birds, if you are so inclined.

Let spring's rebirth inspire your writing.
The landscape sprouts and grows, while you cultivate your writing until it flourishes and blooms.
Meadowlarks, killdeer, red-winged blackbirds sing. My father wrote in his journal in April, 1979, "The air is full of bird music."
A bluebird was clinging to the barbed wire fence near the house on a recent morning, looking alertly around. We pointed toward the bluebird nest boxes we've put up near both houses and hope the home-seeker finds them. The grass around the house just ripples with meadowlarks and blackbirds high-stepping as they catch bugs newly-woken by the sun. Beaks full, they leap into the air and zing away; sometimes it seems as if the air is woven with birds flying fast, busy at their work. The meadowlarks are probably crafting their grassy nests already, perhaps laying eggs.
Spring is an inspiring time to work at Windbreak House, as the world awakens after the cold, dark days of winter. The spring weather at Windbreak House offers warm sun, wind, rain, fog, and brief bouts of snow.
The retreat house is comfortable in any weather: it has a sturdy propane furnace, cozy quilts and blankets on each bed, and fuzzy lap robes and throws on the couch and chairs for the cold days. When the sun comes out you can throw open the windows and let the fresh spring air and bird song waft into the house.
If you can't make the drive to my prairie ranch this spring, we can still work on your writing together through a Writing Conversation by eMail.

Bird watching:
a sport that can be done inside or outside.
Bird watching at Windbreak House.
If you're not already a bird watcher, you can sample this sport during your writing breaks, to see if you have a taste for it. The retreat house has a good selection of bird, animal, and plant identification books, as well as binoculars for your use.
Peer out the windows, step outside and sit on one of the comfortable cushioned chairs, stroll around the yard, take a longer walk on the ranch roads, or hike cross country in the grasslands. While bird watching you should use your ears as much as your eyes, so pause and listen every once in a while. Perhaps you'd rather use the binoculars to look for antelope on the far hills. Or maybe you prefer to search close to the ground for wildflowers or unique rocks.
Once you've given your eyes and brain a rest, you'll be able to return to your writing with renewed purpose.
Ask to see the Homestead House binder with hiking trail suggestions. Walking sticks are kept at the kitchen door or in the living room closet.
Let us know if you'd like a hiking partner. Linda's assistant Tam, and her large friendly dog Rue, are usually willing and able to accompany you if you'd prefer not to hike alone.

Katy's tour is coming and she kinda gave away most of the set list! Well, that's because all of her songs are hits! While on Australian TV promoting her tour she said,
"There are going to be a lot of incredible visuals on this tour, and all the songs that you wanna hear. 'Cause I know for me, when I go see a show from, like, a big artist, I wanna sing the #1 hits: all of 'em. So, any song that has...been a #1 or close to it, I'll be singing it."
The tour jumps off on June 22, and fans can already get their hands on exclusive jewelry from Claire's Boutique online now! And just check out one of her Instagram pics where she shares some sketches of the costumes!!

Dear Dara,
My husband of 23 years just threw me out of our home (it is in his family's name). He has taken all the money out of our joint bank account. I have 2 teenage children who he will allow to live with him, but my 17 year old son chooses to live with me. I rented a house for the two of us several months ago, but the business I worked at had cutbacks and I was let go. Now, I work part time at a Florida convenience store, and I can't afford to pay the rent. What can I do to get back on my feet and stop this downward spiral?
Calamity Cathy
Dear Cathy,
Dry your tears and be glad you don't have to spend another minute with a person who has treated the mother of his children so callously! There are several steps you can take to ascend from that spiral:
1. Ask a highly recommended divorce attorney for a free consultation. Find out your rights as far as your home and your bank accounts.
2. I called some charities and churches in your area in Brevard County, Florida. The first charity I called is the North Brevard Sharing Center at 321-269-6555. I was told that you should contact a group called Family Promise of Brevard at 321-209-3391. They sponsor families in need for one week at a time. They also recommended an organization called WIN that helps on a 'rent to income' basis. Their number is 321-639-0166.
Ultimately, you will have to be the one to talk to these organizations because they will ask you to furnish them with some personal information.
3. Of course, Cathy, don't forget to call your personal church if you attend one. That would be a great place to start. Try contacting the Salvation Army at 321-269-3110. Even if you are not Catholic, contact the church at 321-268-3441, or call Catholic Charities at 321-338-2986, because they are known to help with the payments of your utility bills.
4. I called Brevard 211, by dialing 2-1-1. This is a wonderful helpline providing information and assistance to any person in times of emotional, financial and community crisis. Whatever your question or problem, the people who work here will get you going on that upward path!
Finally, remember to contact these wonderful organizations toward the beginning of a calendar month, so that they still have monthly funds to help people in need.
Good luck Cathy…I care about you. Let me know how you are doing in the near future!

Spring Foods to Help You Shed Your Winter Weight (Page 2)
1. Strawberries
Strawberries' fiber content makes them a good choice for weight loss. A two-year study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that people who ate 8 extra grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories per day lost about 4 1/2 pounds. (Women who decreased their fiber intake actually gained weight.) One cup of strawberries has a respectable 3 grams of fiber and more than a full day's recommended dose of vitamin C—an antioxidant that helps keep skin healthy.

They thought they were safe, but most of them died in their homes.
The hundreds of people killed in tornadoes this year and the more than 1,500 killed in Hurricane Katrina in 2005 represent two of the USA's two deadliest years for weather in decades.
These sort of weather tragedies are helping to spur the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – the federal agency that oversees the National Weather Service – into considering new ways of communicating weather risk to citizens beyond the usual hurricane and tornado warnings they issue.
The weather service is now looking for answers beyond its normal sphere of the physical sciences, and into the realm of the social sciences, so that people's behavior and how they respond to authorities can be weighed when warnings are issued.
"By nature, the National Weather Service is a physical science agency but is beginning to incorporate social science into its products and services," says Jennifer Sprague, social science focal point at the weather service.
One example is a recent survey done on survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans conducted by Vankita Brown as a doctorate student at Howard University and who is currently a risk communications specialist at the weather service.
She found that communicating hurricane risk to these residents also requires considering the socio-cultural factors that informs, or sometimes even guides their behavior.
Brown conducted 22 in-depth interviews in 2009 with minority members of the New Orleans community who lived through Hurricane Katrina.
She found that many (but not all) people in these communities relied on friends and family for advice on what to do when a hurricane or storm nears, which they would use to support and confirm the guidance from authorities.
With the heart of hurricane season coming over the next few months – and an above-average season predicted – it's prime time that NOAA consider this.
Education and outreach is so important in getting the message out through as many channels as possible, says Sprague. So as the weather service factors social science into its work, "we continue to build upon strong relationships with the emergency management community, as well with the private and academic sectors."
Among the steps the weather service currently has underway is reviewing its "call to action" statements, which are part of the severe weather alerts issued, to ensure they effectively articulate risk and uncertainty, and provide salient actions for people to follow.
As one of the survivors told Brown, "I was a person who had never left. Had my friends and family and neighbors not been calling me every 30 minutes and saying, 'Come on you gotta leave, everybody else is leaving, why aren't you leaving?' I probably wouldn't have left if they wouldn't have consistently, consistently been calling. I would've stayed right there."
Brown also found that socio-cultural factors that emerged in her research of minorities were people's strong attachment to their homes, past experiences, the importance of social networks, regional cultural temperament and their faith in God. "People believed in the fact that their faith/God had seen them through similar storms and events and therefore they would be OK," said Brown.
"All communities have these (societal and cultural norms) customs," Brown said. "However, the population in my research only included African Americans."
However, "while my research does suggest that there were people who did not take the warnings seriously, I do not believe it was only indicative of minority groups. Roughly 80% of the folks of New Orleans evacuated, which indicates that many people did attend to the warnings."

Road Trip: LA to CO
0 Comments
Here is some random footage from a road trip I went on in early December from LA to Breckenridge, CO. There was no real purpose to the road trip. It was actually rather horrifying, as we ran into this insane blizzard and were creeping along on the highway going 10 miles per hour for about 6 hours at one point. Needless to say the most classic parts of the trip were not caught on tape. Here is the rest though!

I don't believe that as a non FFL holder you can ship USPS.
About your only method is UPS. And even then it is restricted to next day air and Adult Signature delivery required. Although you can use their next day air saver package to do it. Expect to have to declare it, they will likely want to inspect it to verify its not loaded. And it must ship to an FFL if its going to someone other than yourself.
I just shipped one last week and that was the only way I could get it done. It cost me over $50 to ship it. But no one else will take it from a non FFL. Long guns yes... handguns no.

The current federal tax code discourages marriage among people with modest or moderate incomes, said Rep. Tom Petri Tuesday during his keynote speech at an American Enterprise Institute conference on how the tax code affects low-income taxpayers.
"Our stated policy is to encourage marriage, families and moving up the income ladder, but our actually policy is to discourage all that, and unfortunately, our actual policy is proving to be quite successful," he said.
Petri noted that employees who work longer hours or gain seniority on their jobs face a steep loss of federal assistance such as food stamps and tax credits. He said federal lawmakers must change the system to provide incentives for peopel who want to work their way into the middle class. He added that couples often face tax penalties when they decide to get married because of the way the tax code is structured.
"That marriage certificate is expensive," he said.

Inside Area 51
If you had asked me yesterday if I'd be lurking inside a secret government facility, I'd have told you that you were crazy. But here I am doing just that… lurking. I'm not exactly supposed to be in this section of the compound. I'm on a catwalk high above the action looking down into different partitioned sections as tiny scientists work on strange technology.
This facility is pretty famous considering it's so secret. They call it Area 51, and I'm its newest resident. They haven't given me a "My Name Is Taffy" badge or catalogued me in the "Weird Dreams" section, but I know something bizarre is coming. I mean, after all, I was the one who was kidnapped by a UFO and brought here.
In all my lurking, I didn't think to watch my back. I'm not exactly stealthy in my covertness. As I leaned over the railing to get a better look, a hand rested on my shoulder nearly causing me to jump out of my skin and off the catwalk. Considering it was so high up, I was lucky I wasn't dead.
I gasped and turned around holding onto the railing with a death grip. I didn't scream but a great whoosh of air came hurtling past my lips. Standing a little too close for comfort was a man wearing a rumpled white lab coat over civilian clothes.
"Don't scare me like that," I said. My heart pounded in my ears making it hard to hear what the man was saying.
"You always stroll around secure facilities like you own the place?" the man asked.
He was holding an Apple tablet in one hand that looked more advanced than the ones I'd seen on the Yahoo Tech page. It was like technology on steroids around here.
"Just curious," I replied. "It's not everyday I get a personal invite to Area 51. I thought it would be silly not to take a look around."
The scientist shook his head. "You know what they say about curiosity? I'd hate to see something happen to you."
"Threats already? I don't think I know you well enough for you to be throwing around idle threats."
"Oh, they're not idle," the man said as he motioned to two security guards hiding in the shadows.
"Now that's not playing fair," I quipped.
"Take her into Section Five. The implantation device is all booted up and ready for her."
"Implantation… What… I never agreed to…." The guards man handled me toward a red double door. I struggled but it was like pushing against iron. "Someone… HELP!"
I screamed but no one heard me.

Ladies! He is taken! Stop drooling.
It's usually Bollywood stars who make headlines for their relationship status. Sridevi's daughter Jhanvi Kapoor is definitely is yet to step into Bollywood but is already grabbing attention for her more than her social media posts. A pic of her romantically kissing her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya is going viral. And let us tell you that Shikhar looks just as good as the gorgeous diva. These pictures of the handsome lad are a proof.
Shikhar hails from Delhi and is grandson of former Union Minster Sushil Kumar Shinde. Now is this information sounding familiar to you? Like you have read this somewhere already? Nope you are not wrong. Well not completely.
Shikhar is Veer Pahariya's brother. Remember Veer? Who is rumoured to be dating Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan. Yep him! Veer has studied in Dubai, is an aspiring singer and is son of a Mumbai-based businessman Sanjay Pahariya. Wow! That is an interesting family background Shikhar has got there. The two brothers are definitely envied by all the young men out there in the country.
Shikhar is basically from Delhi but has done his schooling in Mumbai from Dhirubhai Ambani International School and Bombay Scottish School. For further studies he went abroad to London and has done graduation from Regent's University London. He is currently residing in Mumbai.
Shikhar enjoys horse riding and is quite good at it. And like his grandfather he also has a keen interest in politics. A fan of the TV series Entourage Shikhar plays Polo, and has been a part of Royal Jaipur Polo team and represented Indian in Berkshire Polo Club Lonodn in 2013. Okay! No wonder he caught the eye of the gorgeous Jahnvi. Well we have to say is that the two of them look absolutely adorable together.

text: When I ordered my planning DVD a while back, I entered Feb 2014 dates into the upcoming trip section. We're now leaning much more toward a Nov 2013 trip. Is it possible to still get a PIN code in time for a Nov trip? Or will they be more likely to send me a code with Feb dates? If I did mess up (yikes!), is there any way to fix it?? A PIN code sure would help!!

CMPD: Teen arrested for robberies morning of north Charlotte murder
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said they have charged a 15-year-old in a series of armed robberies that took place on March 30 -- they day officers said Ronald Gullette was shot and killed in his driveway -- but said the juvenile was not involved in the murder.
Police had previously charged four teenagers in connection to a violent crime spree early that Sunday which ended with Gullette dead in his driveway.
Police said Randy Shawn Lloyd, 16, turned himself in at police headquarters more than 24 hours after he jumped and ran from officers who had spotted the stolen car he was driving after Gullette was shot.
Officers said another teen, Bobby Lannell Hargrove, 16, was identified through information and evidence gathered by investigators. Hargrove was charged with accessory after the fact of felony murder.
Police said Lloyd was the oldest of three teenagers -- the other was a 15-year-old boy and his 13-year-old sister -- who met in uptown Charlotte late on the night of March 29 and decided to go out and rob people.
"This was a crime spree. There's no question about it," said Maj. Mike Smathers at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Smathers said the group began by robbing a couple outside a north Charlotte club just after 2 a.m. March 30 and then about 4 a.m., took a man's pickup truck at gunpoint on West Boulevard.
Police said the teens then drove to an apartment complex on Canterwood Drive in north Charlotte where they robbed a jogger at 7 a.m.
At 8:20 a.m., police said they pulled up to a driveway on Pence Pond Road in east Charlotte where they took a man's wallet and car at gunpoint.
On Tuesday, CMPD said they were charging a 15-year-old with two counts of armed robbery in connection to the Canterwood and Pence Pond crimes.
Officers said he confessed to being involved in the two robberies but had nothing to do with the murder of Gullette.
Police are not releasing his name and said they are not looking for any other suspects in Gullette's murder.

Author's note: Hi everyone. :) So I've come out with another story- this time not Harry Potter. It is a Wicked and RENT crossover; incidentally my first Wicked story, my first RENT story and my first crossover as well. I am really really proud of this one because I'd been working on it for a long, long time already, and it actually has a written (typed) plot-line and it actually makes sense. Something I'm actually quite proud of. :)
I've tried really hard on this one, and I've tried to make it as long as I could (2200 words, you think that's okay for a first chapter?) because I'd recently re-discovered my annoyance with extremely short chapters with too much update time in between. I'm sorry if it might not make sense at all, or for any grammatical/spelling errors I may have made (this wasn't fully beta'd). I've never really attempted to do (as Leanne says it) 'philosophical-thinking' kind of writing before, much less actually posted it where people could read it. Please review and tell me what you think? Reviews make me happy and happy me makes faster chapters...
Okay, I'll stop being a review whore and get on with the chapters. I really hope you'll enjoy it. ~Lyra
Since from a very young age, Elphaba Thropp had what you would call: 'imaginary friends.' They were her best friends when she had none, and they were her comfort when the going got tough. As she grew, they grew, and they followed her through her life. The one remarkable thing about these 'imaginary friends' Elphaba had was that their personalities were much more elaborate than that of any ordinary child's imaginary friend. But then, Elphaba Thropp wasn't you ordinary child. It might not seem like much, but the personalities invented were remarkably intricate and true-too-life for only a six-year-old's imagination.
Most young children have 'imaginary friends' at some point or another during their lives. They serve as a comfort to them during early childhood hardships that he or she may or may not have faced. Usually, these imaginary friends will stick around with the child for a few weeks -usually three or so- before being left and forgotten at the back of the child's mind when it has found something more worthy to think about. Sometimes a new toy, or a pet, or an actual real-life friend to spend time with them in the place of the imaginary one.
Obviously, said imaginary friends do not really appreciate being tossed to one side and forgotten, but for the love of their child, the will suck it up and wish them only the best in the remainder of their lives. Then they will hide away to wither and slowly die.
This story is –mainly- the sad tale of what usually happens to imaginary friends.
But this story is not the tale of what usually happens; this story is about something entirely different: what doesn't usually happen. This is the tale of a green skinned girl and her own imaginary friends, and what happens when reality and fantasy mix where they never should ever meet.
What doesn't usually happen is for a child to not forget their imaginary friends, and still think about them sometimes, here and there. But even rarer, that child would never actually stop talking to their imaginary friend; they would keep their friendship, even well into adulthood.
The large majority of children who still speak to their imaginary friends in adulthood (which isn't actually a lot of children) have the tendency to never actually 'grow up'. They continue to keep the mentality of their childish selves, their personalities, and their interests. But I'm not saying this is bad- some children with this 'special' frame-of-mind still grow to be very successful. There was this one boy who never actually grew out of his love for Astro-Boy, but he is now a well-established cartoon artist for the show. He passed Art College with flying colors, and he is perfectly healthy and sane, with a wife and two daughters. Eventually, though, he began to let the obsession go, and he is better than ever- apart from the small nagging feeling in the back of his mind that there is something -always something- that he is missing in his already luxurious and brilliant lifestyle.
But some with this 'special' mind aren't so fortunate. They cannot seem to grow up- and it is especially bad in the most cases where the child cannot let go. It usually happens to children who develop their imaginary friends young, and their belief never really fades without leaving deep scars. Those innocent souls never get to experience the ups and downs of adulthood, even though their bodies are right for it, their minds are not. They will always think like the toddler inside them, forever trapped to play with their imaginary friends in their heads forever more. The only way out of this nightmare is to 'let go', and it has in the history of imaginary friends never actually happened. Letting go is hard, in particular for these children.
Few 'specially lucky and fortunate' children even can still let go. Many people will tell them "Let go; they don't exist; forget about them" through the course of their adult lives. They don't see that this won't help; it will destroy them, eating from inside out until they are only a shell of what they used to be. Their minds will break, and there is really no cure for madness, after all.
Elphaba Thropp was one of those 'special exception' children. She spoke regularly with her imaginary friends, and still –however contrary to popular belief- was perfectly sane. Well- as sane as one can be with the entire constant gawking and staring and pointing that one can endure having green skin.
In her younger years, she would often be seen stalking alone along the sides of the playground, muttering to herself and running her lean, green finger tips against the red-brick walls while her munchkin schoolmates played in the middle of the playground. Elphaba was viewed as an embarrassment, and a thing not to be proud of. Her father, Frexspar Thropp, was the governor of Munchkinland, and as you can imagine, felt Elphaba a curse on his name and family. Nessarose, Elphaba's youngest sister, regarded Elphaba as nothing other than a helper- or even as a Nanny, which Elphaba had no other choice than to accept. For a healthy and normal older-younger sister relationship, Elphaba and Nessa's were slightly strained; Frex seeing Elphaba as nothing other than a servant ordered her to 'take care of her sister', translating into: 'do whatever Nessa says, no matter what it is'. And Nessa really was quite demanding, having her disability and curious almost-obsession-like fondness for religion. Yet at the rare times that Nessarose showed Elphaba a bit of compassion, she became a bit more of a sister- a bit more of a friend.
Still, there were still gaps and much room for improvement in Elphaba's childhood. She had very few real friends -obviously because of her skin color; some people just couldn't accept it for what it was- Elphaba remained loyal to her imaginary friends through the entirety of her childhood, whether it be new school -primary and secondary were particularly harsh on her- or it was just normal day-to-day endeavors. In short- Elphaba Thropp never had that proper childhood that she desperately wanted- and needed.
Our tale begins on a rainy day on a rickety carriage heading through the Emerald City, making it's way to Shiz University, in the northern parts of the city. Inside, there were two girls, one sitting in a wheelchair and reading a book of Holy Scriptures, and the other with shocking green skin staring absently out of the dirty window.
"It's a new school. A fresh start, Fabala. How do you plan on 'making good' this time?"
"This is not the time for half-wit insults and teasing, Joanne! Spare me that skeptical tone. I've always tried my best to…. 'Make good.' I've told you once and I'll tell it a hundred times from now: I'm only here to look after Nessa, and Father will surely kill me should I not do it properly! And happily, too. I should be thankful for even this chance. At least I'm allowed to take the classes as well! It could have been otherwise. He could even have left me back on Colwen Grounds, for Oz's sake. I'm lucky to even be on the carriage right now!"
"Elphie, you need to get a grip. He can't treat you like this anymore. He should never have started it in the first place."
"God damn it, it's not right to treat your own flesh-and-blood daughter like this! Green skin be damned."
"Maureen, I know what you're thinking-"
"No you don't know what I think! Forgive me for caring about you, but you have to snap out of it! When will you realize that you are an actual person, not a slave?"
I know I'm not a-"
"Fabala, are you talking to yourself again?" Nessarose said, looking sharply at her elder sister. "You know how Father disapproves."
"Yes, Nessa," Elphaba sighed.
"Well, good. You know how Father says that it might be the devil trying to take a hold of your soul. Your green-as-a-sin skin is already an open doorway for the devil, and you're already beginning to speak to him! Fabala, I don't think you know the consequences or you'd be more- Elphaba, look at me!"
"What?" Elphaba's head jerked back to look Nessarose squarely in the face. Nessarose rolled her eyes and peered at Elphaba in a pitying way. She knew that Elphaba had her pride, and hated being pitied, in any way. Sure enough the green girl squirmed uncomfortably under her gaze, and Nessarose allowed herself that small scrap of satisfaction.
"Elphaba, you must know the consequences. Your soul is-"
"My soul is not a stake, Nessie, for I do not have one. How can one with such a…. verdigris have such a… a pure thing?" Elphaba raised her arms up and gestured to her skin. "Green as a sin."
"Fabala, everyone has a soul- oh, spare me that face. You know you have one, however you try and deny it." Nessa placed both her palms together, fingers pointed heavenwards. She looked like a unionist saint in prayer. "The Unnamed God is generous and loving, and he loves everyone," She looked sideways at Elphaba. "Everyone. Including you, Fabala."
"Well, yes. Be that as it may, I still am skeptical if I have a soul or not. He might love," Elphaba spat the word out, as if it tasted foul on her tongue, "me, but I do not care for such trivialities."
"Oh, Elphaba…" said Nessarose, softening for a moment. Her face dropped the stern look and was replaced with a look of sympathy and –Elphaba saw and was depressed utterly by it- pity. She looked away from Nessarose and back to the window where the rain was pounding so hard as if intent to shatter the glass into a million shards.
"We're nearly there, Elphaba," Elphaba was glad to hear the pity gone from Nessa's voice and the strict mask appear once again. "Just…" Hesitation? Since when did the perfect and holier- than-thou Nessarose hesitate? It was either she said it or she didn't, and Nessarose Thropp never hesitated to speak her mind.
One of the few qualities she and Elphaba shared in common.
"Just…. Try not to embarrass Father and me this time, Elphaba. Promise me that this time will be different. Oh please, Elphaba. Try to keep yourself under control this time…"
Oh, damn that tone. Nessa knew it nearly always melted Elphaba's heart, no matter how cruel the young Thropp was to her sister.
"I'll try."
They rode the rest of the journey to Shiz in silence. Nessarose became absorbed in her book of holy texts and didn't speak to Elphaba, and Elphaba on her part tried to speak once again to Joanne and Maureen, despite Nessarose's futile but genuine pleads for her to stop. It didn't matter anyway, because Joanne and Maureen's voices did not appear in her head like before.
When the had reached Shiz, it had stopped raining. Elphaba got out of the carriage first, and pulled out the ramp for Nessa's wheelchair to roll down and out. She kicked the locks securely in place, and clambered back up to roll Nessarose down.
"Careful, Nessa. It's still slippery." It was a family obligation to treat Nessa like she could walk and mention as little as possible of her disability. Frex had decreed it, and what Frex had decreed in his household, Elphaba treated like law.
The square in which they had stopped was noisy and frustratingly crowded. Elphaba pushed Nessa to the sides of the, what Elphaba presumed to be, the courtyard. She had to lean down close to Nessa's ear before she could be heard over the loud hustle and bustle of the Shizian crowd. "I'm going to get out bags. Stay here." Nessarose nodded noiselessly without looking up from her leather-bound, gold inscribed bible.
Elphaba straightened up, slowly before walking off though the crowd. With her verdigris that was quite apparent from even the other side of the already vast courtyard, she saw no need to elbow anyone away (as she had done before, and was more than willing to do it again) because the students of Shiz jumped and scattered away from her like she carried the plague.
Well, Elphaba thought wryly later on when she reflected on that afternoon, to them it must look like I carry the plague.
Reaching the carriage was easy work and removing the luggage was even easier; Elphaba was used to carrying large and heavy things for her Father and Nessarose; the luggage now was light compared to the luggage when Nessa and Frex visited the Quadlings last summer. Elphaba had to make several trips back and forth between the carriage and Nessa because of all the trunks, but in only three trips, she managed everything, which Elphaba considered quite an achievement, not only on her part.
She stacked the trunks up next to Nessa and nodded to the driver; the butler, Faarao, from Colwen Grounds; one of the only house-staff that was at least decent to her. Faarao had been serving the Thropps since he had began to walk and talk, and his father before him, and his grandfather before his father. It had been a silent agreement between them (Faarao and Elphaba) that she would get the luggage, and Faarao would bring them in with Nessarose.
Nodding her thanks to Faarao, she picked up her own luggage (a single, dull-leather suitcase) and hurried into the entrance hall.

This sounds like the additional mastery damage is internally different spell and therefore doesn't get merged as merging will only merge identical spells. There seem to be more cases of this popping up in general.
Unfortunately, there isn't a programmatic way to tell if one spell (the mastery damage) is actually the result of another and therefore should be merged with it. One possible fix might involve manually maintaining a customizable spell equivalency table that will allow users to treat one spell as if it were actually another, but the issue is that some of the mastery damage might have come from VT, another part might have come from SW:P, and yet more might have come from DP.

Islanders 4, Flyers 3, SO
Associated Press | Last updated March 28, 2013
Colin McDonald scored two goals, Josh Bailey tallied the clinching score in the shootout and the New York Islanders won again on the road, coming up with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. John Tavares also scored for New York, which won its fourth straight on the road while improving to 10-4-1 away from home this season to pull into a tie with the Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Scott Hartnell scored twice and Mike Knuble also tallied for the Flyers, who blew a two-goal lead while falling further out of the playoff picture. Philadelphia last missed the playoffs in 2007. The Isles, who last made the playoffs in 2007, dominated the final two periods of regulation after falling behind 2-0 in the first period. McDonald tied the game at 2 with 9:56 left in the final period when his one-timer from close range after Keith Aucoin's pass from behind the net beat Ilya Bryzgalov on the stick side. McDonald scored again from the point 5 1/2 minutes later when his slap shot deflected off the skates of Flyers defenseman Bruno Gervais and past Bryzgalov to put New York ahead 3-2. But the Flyers tied it with 29.8 seconds left in regulation when Hartnell tallied on the power play with Bryzgalov pulled. New York goalie Evgeni Nabokov appeared to have the puck frozen, but it was knocked loose and to Hartnell in front of the left post. Hartnell corralled the puck with his skates and then knocked it past a sprawled Nabokov. After a scoreless overtime period, the teams each scored once in the regulation period of the shootout. After Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds missed his attempt in the fourth round, Bailey wristed a shot past Bryzgalov on the stick side to give New York two points. The Flyers took a 2-0 lead after the first period on goals from Hartnell and Knuble. Hartnell opened the scoring by one-timing a pass from Giroux from the slot low and to Nabokov's glove side. Hartnell fanned a bit on the shot, shaking his head in mock disgust before smiling after the power-play tally. Knuble, who was a healthy scratch in eight straight games and 10 of the last 11, put Philadelphia ahead two goals when he finished a 2-on-1 break by deking past Nabokov with a slick backhanded shot into a wide-open goal. The Islanders nearly pulled within a goal when Andrew MacDonald's slap shot beat Bryzgalov, but the puck entered the net after the first-period buzzer had sounded to nullify the goal. The Islanders scored their first goal with one minute left in the second period when Tavares netted his 21st goal of the season. Tavares, who began the day second in the league in goals scored, passed the puck toward the net and it caromed off the foot of Flyers defenseman Erik Gustafsson and past Bryzgalov. Notes: Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn left the game in the second period after suffering an upper-body injury and didn't return. ... Philadelphia entered having won 29 of the last 33 meetings with the Islanders. ... Giroux has tallied 23 points in his last 16 games against the Islanders.

Lulu Organics®'s organic hair powder is the hip younger sister of mainstream dry shampoos: she's eco-conscious, health-savvy, and has vague plans of packing her bags and moving to Portland. Analogies aside, this winning natural formula revives second day locks by absorbing volume-zapping oil. It has a lovely lavender scent laced with the faintest trace of herbal clary sage. And since it leaves no chalky white residue behind, even dark-haired girls can use it.
I am not the biggest fan of dry shampoo's. I have thicker hair and my hair tends to gain volume with dry shampoo but at sometime gravity takes over and it falls. I liked the natural ingredients of this products and I was impressed with the texture. I would recommend it to a friend. If you have dark hair make sure you brush or shake it through, dont want to look like you have grey hair!1
