J.R.R. TOLKIEN
BECAUSE HE WAS A MAGNIFICENT MAN

Hm, not sure if I would exchan...WAIT WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING HELL YES I WOULD
as long as I could still write some of my silly angst!fluff from time to time...

Seriously, if I were another Tolkien, I would write my novels like THAT. And while I'd write Seren and Giovanni every now and then for fun, I wouldn't have to do it to get better like I do now.
PFFFT, This question makes me want to work on my novel... dammit. Well, that's it, I'm going to have to post some of my crap writing. -_-

Tolkien actually is my all-time favorite author. The tales that man could weave... he actually inspired my love of coming up with history for places and stuff.
And he made me love fantasy even more.
Too bad he died like 17 years before I was born :/ *sob*


Anyway, I swear I'm going to kill this bastard that comes to our synagogue one day. He's one of those 30somethings that hits on younger women (like teenage ones), stalks women he gets close to (OH LORD IN HEAVEN THE STORIES I CAN TELL), and is genuinely messed up. I caught the baka yarou telling one of Trish's kids (the kids we took care of for awhile) that he'd get her some nice shoes, but one: He's not even supposed to be talking to the kids because he's already tried to turn them against their mom and said he wanted to adopt them and a bunch of other stuff. Two: He and the girl were actually conspiring to lie to her mom and say that their "Mimi" (a family friend who takes care of the kids while Trish is at school) has been saving up for these expensive shoes for her birthday.
At first, I wasn't sure whether to say anything to Mom or not, but then I realized Wait, he's actively trying to get them to lie to their mom, causing trouble again, and he's not even supposed to be talking to the kids. Hell no I'm not letting this slip. So I tell Mom, who gets me to tell Dad, who has me be there when he tells Trish. Who is obviously not pleased.

I think the only reason my father has not recommended she gets a TPO on him is I think he hopes he'll stop after he lamblasts him again. But what if he emotionally attaches to another woman after her? And its WORSE?
I'm starting to think he's one of those guys that needs major help, like from a professional psych in a mental hospital.
*shiver* I knew that that first impression he gave me when he first came was spot on.
Hmph. Personally, I think the only way its going to get better is a TPO...

But Purim was fun! ^_^
I'll see about posting the audio at some point. It's a rowdy good time!

Off to play Ace Investigations: Miles Edgeworth! Night!

So my grandmother's dog we're keeping is going to have to go to the pound or something because she's gotten completely out of hand. She actually bit my dad today (again), completely unprovoked. And it isn't a play bite, either... I think each of us has gotten bitten at least once -_-

Now, before anyone cries foul, let me explain<strike>no, 'splaining will take too long, let me sum up</strike>: She (I will not name the beast) started getting pretty bad when my Grandmother started going down hill, even started biting her too, if she got too close to her food. When Grandma was put in a facility up in Tuscaloosa, we got the dog... and that dog has been turning into a living hell ever since. She snarls at you if you get near her food (now it's just period), she's bitten several of us, she keeps running outside and we're scared she'll bite the neighbors (which means we would get sued...)...
In the end, it's better if she goes.

I'm both relieved and unhappy about this. I'm relieved that our family won't be in constant danger from the bitch *pun intended*, but I'm a bit unhappy that she turned out this way. Why did she end up so bad? Heaven only knows. Maybe she'll find a new home, but I doubt it, since she'll probably be listed as a threat to humans and be put under.

I actually feel a bit bad about being so hard about this, even telling my brother, who started feeling bad, that we knew this was coming, we knew she was dangerous, and to not worry about it.

Maybe I'm being a bit callous, but after awhile I knew that the dog was going to have to go. She is just too dangerous to keep.

Maybe someone will see this and think, "Geez, Cassandra, cold much?"
But I'll do just about anything to protect my family.
And I just want my family and my neighbors to be safe.
Is it too much to ask for that?

Going to try to eat something light, my body still prefers them as it heals up from Saturday/Sunday.

Later,
