So it’s been a while.Between work and life I just havent had the urge to do any writing but for some reason today I do so im rereading from the begining.It may be a few days but im hoping to post a new addition to my scripts.Here’s hoping!!
OMFG, THE SHOOTER WASN’T AN IMMIGRANT OR A REFUGEE, HE WAS CALLED ALEX BISSONETTE, HE WAS WHITE, AND A FAR-RIGHT SUPPORTER OF LE PEN, THE PARTI QUEBECOIS, TRUMP, ETC.
White nationalists commit more terror attacks than any other group.
Literally, CSIS (Canada’s spy agency) says white supremacy is a worse threat than ‘radical islam’:
CSIS highlights white supremacist threat ahead of radical Islam
If you guys want to pretend you know everything about someone based on their name alone why didn’t you mention the name of the other shooter? Does it have anything to do with the fact that his name is Mohammad? Don’t pretend you care about what is and isn’t offensive and hurtful if you’re just going to turn around and call everyone a Nazi or a white supremecist. All you’re doing is race baiting further.
In fact he was a witness to the attack and gave first aid to victims of the shooting. The police thought he was a shooter, because he was seen leaving the mosque at the time they arrived.
Alex Bissonette was the only shooter.
Get your islamophobia out of here.
The legal clinic at Yale Law School that is working with the ACLU to fight Trump’s executive order is asking anyone who has experienced any issues with Customs and Border Patrol due to the ban, including anyone getting turned back from boarding flights to the U.S. in other countries, or any other airport intimidation, to PLEASE WRITE TO airportwatch@mailman.yale.edu.
THOSE WHO OPPOSE TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER: PLEASE SHARE THIS AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE. This request is coming directly from the legal team on the case.
I’m sharing this from Nicolas Medina Mora (my former co-worker) who knows one of the attorneys involved.
So forgive this little rant,i’ll post more episodes or whatever when i write them ive just been caught up in my own head here lately.So like i posted i dont know,a few months ago,my best guy friend who is like a brother to me,told the gilr i like…liked…its all very confusing to me right now,but he basically told her how i felt and i completly broke down.Like unable to think,unable to breath,unable to feel,broken.A few weeks later,i found out that with all the flirting we did,she was actually dating a…friend…co-worker…nah i’ll say like a mixture cause im friends with most of my co workers.I had heard the rumor and when i asked her,she said that yeah they were in a realationship but she didnt feel like it was going anywhere.This was before like school started,and my super amazing best friend found out and she decided that she immediatly sisnt like this guy.fast forward a couple months and i start thinking I’m over the crush,but everytime we hang out or when we have stupid little chats,i realize i was just fooling myself so I spent another few months trying my best to avoid her(not the easiest thing when we work together)Around christmas i started to really think about it and I came to the conclusion,im just tired of feeling so helpless,yeah i still like her but no one is worth me being like this.I bought presents and roses from my rose bush(yeah i have a rose bush out front)but,im kind over it.I still have feelings but they are dying down and im starting to feel like my old,self appreciating self,and i dont know if she can tell or not. Again sorry for the rant.I just needed to write this down.If anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate it.adviec on life or how to deal with this whole situation.

Episode 77
Cuddle Time
Interior:Natalie’s place.It’s dark.The only light is coming from the tv which is playing a tv show off of netflix.Dawn is laying up against Natalie.They are under a cover and look very cozy.There is an empty bowl at the other end of the couch.The episode ends and Dawn and Natalie sit up.
Natalie:(picking up the remote)Next episode?
Dawn:(stretching and looking at the empty bowl)It’s my turn to get the snacks.
Dawn stands up and picks up the bowl.She walks to the kitchen and the light turns on.Natalie closes her eyes and slowly opens them to let them adjust.She pauses the tv and starts to read the synopsis.She looks over to the computer.
Natalie:(shouting to the kitchen)I think you kicked your computer on.
Dawn:(shouting from the kitchen)What?
Natalie:(shouting to the kitchen)Your computer’s on.
Dawn:(shouting from the kitchen)Can you check if Carm has messaged me back?
Natalie looks next to the computer and picks up the note the girl from the bar gave her to give Dawn.She considers reading it when Dawn comes in.
Dawn:(standing at the edge of the couch,surprising Natalie)You can read it,if you want.
Natalie:(setting the note down)It was not for me to read.
Dawn sits down next to Natalie and picks up the note.
Dawn:(reading the note)‘Supernaturals night at the bar.No humans.Opens at 11.Bring your witch friend.This saturday.Tell the doorman Maeve sent you.’(folds note and sets it back down)See.No big deal.
Natalie is shocked that Dawn reads the note so casually.
Natalie:No big deal?(turns and faces Dawn)Dawn,she’s pretty much asking you to a bar.
Dawn:She probably didn’t realize we’re together.(there’s a beep from the kitchen)That’s the popcorn.
Dawn stands up and walks to the kitchen.
Natalie:(following Dawn)I don’t think you get why I’m freaking.
The conversation fades off into the kitchen.A chat window pops up.
Carmilla:OMG!!!
Carmilla:I CAUGHT THE THEIF AND YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHO IT IS!!!
Carmilla:CALL ME ASAP!!!
Carmilla:WAIT!
Carmilla:Come home!I want to see your face when you find out!
Carmilla:Dawn…
Carmilla:You there?
Carmilla:Vampire Girl?
Carmilla:Where are you!!!!!
Dawn and Natalie walk into the living room still arguing.
Dawn:(sitting down with the bowl of popcorn and a drink)I just don’t see what the big deal is.
Natalie:(still standing)She sent you a drink,with blood in it.She basically gave you an advert for a Supernaturals only night at a bar.
Dawn:(shrugging it off)Maybe it’s a fandom night.Like Supernatural the tv show.
Natalie:(quoting the note)'Bring your witch friend.’
Dawn:(looks at Natalie)I don’t know,maybe she was just joking.
Natalie sits down in a huff and glares at Dawn.
Dawn:I mean it’s not like we’re going.
Natalie:Oh no.We’re going.(Dawn glares at Natalie)Yeah.Saturday.Date night.We’re going and we’re finding out why this Supernatural night is humans only and how she knew what we are.
Dawn:There’s no guarentee she’ll even be there.
Natalie:We won’t leave until we find out.
Dawn opens her arms in defeat and Natalie gladly lays back on Dawn’s chest and covers them both up in the blanket.Natalie reaches for the remote.
Dawn:(looking down at Natalie)Lights?
Natalie stands up and turns off the lights.Before she sits down she remembers the computer and shuts the screen.

Episode 76
Promises,Promises
Interior:Natalie’s place.Dawn is sitting on the couch filming on her laptop.It’s late outside.Dawn is still in her uniform.She’s fiddling with the slip of paper the girl from the bar wanted her to have.
Dawn:(waves to the camera)Generic welcome,everyone.(stops fiddling with the paper)So,now for the actual update based on the intruder my camera caught sneaking into my room.(beat)Who ever it was,is a real creep with a capital C.They stole one of my bra’s.The weird thing is,they left a hundred bucks on my desk,as if they were paying me for my bra.(shudders and looks disgusted)I really don’t think I want that one back.(beat)But Carm is bound and determined to catch them so I’m staying at Nat’s until I get the okay to go home because apparently my room is now just one big booby trap.
There’s a little chuckle from the bathroom.
Dawn:(looking to the bathroom)And Krystle is still here.So it’s not like this is some lovers suite.
Krystle:(from the bathroom,offscreen)Doesn’t stop you two making googly eyes and the like at eachother.
Dawn:(shouting to the bathroom)Get a boyfriend and you can have your own squishy feelings here.
Krystle comes into the living room and is in veiw of the camera,she’s wearing pj bottoms and a baggy shirt and has a toothbrush in her hands.
Krystle:I have a boyfriend,but you don’t see me parading around here,hooking up with him on very surface imaginable.
Dawn:(looking back at Krystle)We don’t ‘hook up’ on every surface.And besides,who is this boyfriend of yours?
Krystle:(sticking the toothbrush in her mouth)None of your buisness.
Dawn:(looking back at Krystle)Well do I know him?Is he one of your regulars at the cafe?
Krystle:(with the toothbrush in her mouth)Um,one,none of your buisness.And two,ew.All my regulars are like twice your age.
Dawn:(facing Krystle)They’re not all-okay most of them are,but if it isn’t any of them who else have you been arou-
Something suddenly occurs to Dawn.The only other person Krystle has been around that is about her age was J.D. Dawn gets a devilish smile on her face as Krystle knows what Dawn is thinking and pretty much comfirms Dawn’s suspicions by quickly retreating to her room,toothbrush and all,slamming the door.Dawn jumps up over the couch and follows her.
Dawn:(offscreen)J.D.?You’re dating J.D.?
Krystle:(offscreen and through a door)I said nothing.
Dawn:(offscreen)No but running into your room has pretty much said it all.
The door opens.
Krystle:(offscreen)Let’s say,hypothetically you were right.Don’t make a big deal of it.
Dawn:(offscreen,teasingly)No promises.
Krystle:(offscreen,whinning)Well atleast don’t tell Nat.We’ve only been on a few dates and I don’t need my big sister thinking I need a chaperon.
Dawn:(offscreen)Wait.Am I the first to know?
Silence.
Dawn:(offscreen)Your secret is safe with me.I promise.(beat.very serious)I promise.
The front door opens and Natalie enters.
Natalie:(offscreen)I’m back with pizza!
Dawn enters the living room and gets cozy on the couch as Natalie passes her,giving her a peck on the cheek and moves to the kitchen.
Dawn:(looking to the kitchen)Any news on when I can go back home?
Natalie:(offscreen)Nope.Carm is still waiting on the trap to be sprung.(enters carrying two plates of pizza and sits down next to Dawn)How did she know how to set up that many things in that much space?
Dawn:(taking her plate)She watches to much crime dramas.(takes a bite of pizza)I stick with medical dramas.That way if I do go crazy and start eatting people,I can make their death look like an accident.
Dawn looks up at Natalie and tries to look menacing with pizza sauce at the corner of her nouth like blood.She does a little his and srunches her face,trying to look vicious.Natalie smiles and picks up a napkin and wipes the pizza sauce off of Dawns face.
Natalie:(chuckling)My vicious killer.(looks at Dawn)So dangerous and so cute.
Dawn:(getting closer to Natalie)How do you think I evade the po po’s?I look so cute,they can’t suspect me.
Dawn and Natalie are close enough to kiss before Krystle enters.
Krystle:(walking to the kitchen)Hey,smooshy faces,what’s for dinner?
Dawn and Natalie move apart.
Krystle:(in the kitchen)Don’t stop on my account.God forbid,I keep you two from swapping spit infront of Dawn’s veiwers once again.(enters the frame carrying a plate of pizza)Not like you two haven’t already done that in enough places,why not the internet?
Krystle exits back to her room.Dawn and Natalie kind of stare at eachother for a second before Dawn looks to her computer and gives it a small wave before closing the screen.

this is why the electoral college fucking sucks.
Without the electoral college, the determining factor of the elections would be California, Chicago and New York just because they have more people concentrated in one area. Our system is the best of the best and the people spoke. I’m hurt as well as most of America but the best thing we can do is keep an open mind, accept, and move on.
So what? Why does it matter if the majority of votes come from one area? If most of the people in the country want one person to be president, then that person should be president. Why should it matter where they’re from?
And that’s not even the reason the college was made in the first place. It was made for 2 reasons.
1. The founding fathers didn’t trust the citizens. They thought the citizens were too uneducated to make a good choice.
And 2. It’s easier to count the votes of a small group of people all in one place rather than millions across the country when there’s no cars or internet.
In today’s age, neither of those reasons are valid anymore. There is no good reason for the electoral college to exist. If the majority of people want someone as president, that person should be president.
Here is why the electoral college sucks:
Without the electoral college, every single vote would count exactly the same. No vote anywhere in the country would be worth more than any other vote. Now you may ask, but Raymond, isn’t it like this already?
NO. IT FUCKING IS NOT.
Take Wyoming for example. Wyoming has a population of 584,000 people. They also have 3 electoral college votes. This means that each 194,667 votes is worth one electoral college vote in Wyoming. Now let’s look at California. California has a population of 38.8 million people and 55 electoral college votes. This means that it takes 705,455 votes for each electoral college vote.
A VOTE IN WYOMING IS WORTH 3.5X MORE THAN A VOTE IN CALIFORNIA.
It literally takes 3.5 times more votes to get 1 electoral vote in California than it does in Wyoming. How tf is that fair?
Don’t come in here and tell me how it’s the best system and without it the only determining factor would be certain cities. How does that even make sense? Without it, a vote in New York City is worth the exact same amount as a vote in any other city, or town, regardless of population. I personally would like my vote to count for exactly the same as anyone else. My vote shouldn’t count as less because I live in a more densely populated city.
What a good explanation! ^
Fun fact: the [outdated and deeply flawed] electoral college system is also the reason George Bush became president.
Happy Coming Out Day!
Happy Coming Out Day!Although I haven’t come out to my family,I was suprised to learn this year that I didn’t actually need to come out to a small group of my very close friends and now they make fun of me because to them it was very obvious.I love them like my family(maybe slightly more)and I don’t know what I would do without them.
