Blurb

I'm just following the Irish tradition of songwriting, the Irish way of life, the human way of life. Cram as much pleasure into life, and rail against the pain you have to suffer as a result. Or scream and rant with the pain, and wait for it to be taken away with beautiful pleasure.

Shane MacGowan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our lives are important - at least to us - and as we see, so we learn... Our destiny is in the stars, so let's go and search for it.

Doctor Who

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still, the need to know overwhelms the human instinct for self-preservation.

Sliders

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Humans are an odd species. They will proclaim a particular ethical and moral stance one day. And the next, they will proclaim an opposite stance with equal passion. When pressed, they explain such behavior as caused by "different circumstances." Also, depending on "the situation."

Animorphs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not old enough to love as yet,
But old enough to die, indeed.
The death-fear bites my throat and heart,
Fanged cousin to the Pale One's breed.
But past my fear lies life for all-
Perhaps for me: and, past my dread,
Past loss of Mastery and life,
The Sea shall yet give up Her dead!

Young Wizards

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sorry for whatever happened that made you stop believing, but it's all real.

Lost

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time after time, history demonstrates that when people don't want to believe something, they have enormous skills of ignoring it altogether.

Dresden Files

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When your parents combined their DNA, the odds that they would create a person
with your precise genetic pattern were on the order of ten million to one. Factor in the chance of your parents growing to adulthood, meeting, and actually bothering to
procreate, and your very existence has all the likelihood of drawing three straight Imperial Courts in an honest game of Vedran Whist. You've already overcome those
odds once. Who's to say you can't do it again?

Andromeda

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a leaf on the wind...watch how I soar.

Firefly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's like a curse, something the gods send to drive someone mad. I had hope. I'd see something, some little random act of kindness, and it made me think we were safe, there was some essential good in us. But there isn't.

Torchwood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Hamlet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wouldn't want to disappoint you by not disappointing you.

The X-Files

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Irish have always been victims of negative stereotypes. I mean, people think we're all drunks and brawlers, and sometimes it makes you so mad all you wanna do is get drunk and punch somebody!

The Black Donnellys

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes.

The Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where does it come from, this quest? This need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here.

Heroes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's a lot of people out there, and they ain't just gonna go away. They got voices now and they're goin' to be listened to. Putting them in jail is not going to stop them. That's the power of the press, Joe. So thanks for teaching me about it.

Newsies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the stupidest children who are the most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are the most grown-up.

Narnia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right.

Into the Woods

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A tiger in his cage can never see the sun. This diva needs her stage--baby, let's have fun!

Rent

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm never doing anything blindly with you again. I learned that at the Mexican border. Twice.

Psych

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm happy to grow up. But I won't pretend fun things aren't still fun out of fear of looking silly.

XKCD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't explain it. It's one of those things that makes sense when you're in it, and seems stupid when you're out of it.

The Chronicle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's how it goes, you think you're on top of the world, and suddenly they spring Armageddon on you. The Great War, the Last Battle. Heaven versus Hell, three rounds, one Fall, no submission. And that'd be that. No more world. That's what the end of the world meant. No more world. Just endless Heaven or, depending who won, endless Hell.

Good Omens

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't care if you're a champion -- no one messes with me. I am ruthless in upholding what I know is right, black or white -- as you'll see. I'm on the case, can't be fooled. Any objection is overruled.

Also, because I forgot to mention it in my last post and I want EVERYONE TO KNOW:

I,

fakebody,

super_kc,

trascendenza, and 200 other Hos are having our services auctioned off for charity. If you've ever wanted a vid/fic/layout/icons/jewelry/T-shirt/random baked good custom-made to your tastes and to help out a good cause at the same time, now's your chance--bring your cute little bum over and BID!

Personally, as mentioned before, I'm offering one vid each to the two highest bidders, tailored to your interests and desires, for any of the fandoms that I have access to. Any music, any characters, any pairings, any themes.

(P.S.: If you are on my flist and auctioning yourself off for Sweet Charity and I didn't mention you, let me know; I only did a very cursory sweep of the Ho's names for ones that I recognized. :) I love ya!)

ETA: Updated financial info and GIP! :D
