taratemimaEven if I haven't done services, and I am not sure about the fasting thing (I tried and lasted six hours), I do want to do something for the Ten Days of Repentence.
1) This has been on my mind for a long freaking time. For the more clueful, does RPS/F count as lashon hara? Especially with disclaimers? I suspect it treads the thin line, and at the same time, I already started it, I have a bad history of not finishing stories, I think they are good stories, and I want to finish them. I should note that I am only speaking for myself and figuring it out for myself. I have no problems with your reasons for writing RPF/S or not. I also find a lot of dumb arguments on the opposing side.
2) I notice a pattern of focusing on the worst behavior of a group and being ashamed of being part of it, and wondering if I should be part of that group. If it's not fandoms, it's religions, it's sexual orientations, it's activist groups, it's causes, you know how it goes. I do that rather than saying "Hey, we are not all like that and we should not act like that!" I either glower or find ways to be less involved with the group. Some recent posts helped me clarify that.
3) The interactive part. If there is anything which I did over the past year which hurt or upset you, please let me know. If you want to discuss it publicly, please leave a comment below; if you'd like to discuss it privately, email me at [temima at livejournal dot com].
Let's see, I was almost late due to oversleeping, but my mom drove me to the bus station, so I got to work on time. I found that somehow and expense was taken out after I withdrew money for Sallie Mae, so no cash for Mom. Dammit. That nightmare is still bothering me, if only I wasn't sure what exactly was
threatening me. All I know is that it was jet-black, about to bite me, fatal and on my bedroom floor. Or why I had such a hard time getting to sleep.
While I am doing my work, I think of prayers to help with sleep, I think of children raising demons, I think of drinking games during Israel/Palestine debates, I think of trolls,
or at least people who only speak when they lie or proclaim dogma.
I wrote a job description for my resume, to be placed in the employee directory. I am closer to getting back in gear.
