Icon Post (and update on tagging)

First off, in the corner, we have Tom and Peter from The Talented Mr. Ripley. Because they're pretty.

I also uploaded two new Star Wars icons that I will use when appropriate.

( halfway through 2003... )

And I went and updated my user info bio, as the bullet points were boring me.

Oh, and I've been reading some of my posts on Connor (AtS) and, OMG! Anakin is Connor!

There are two kinds of tragedies. There's the kind where it's all inevitable and it's tragic because no one had a chance or a choice. Then there's the kind where there were a million different possibilities that could have stopped all the pain and death, and it's tragic because you see each of those happier possibilities get closed off one at a time.

Like Connor, Anakin lived the second kind of tragedy (and, like Connor, in death he found new life).

Note: An example of the first kind of tragedy would be Moulin Rouge -- Satine was dying before Christian ever met her.

On the subject of fear...

( Finished tagging 2003... hello, depression. Wow. )

2004 has a better ending than 2003. Happier. That'll be more fun to go through and tag. The beginnings of my love for Stargate. The joy of VividCon. Lots of good things happened in 2004. Which was good, because I really needed it. But I was still limping, a lot of 2004, doing my best to smile through the pain. This doesn't mean that there weren't times when I was happy, but I never felt as though I deserved it. But I am starting to believe that I deserve to be happy.

Got through the bad times, managed to reconnect with some of what I'd managed to lose during the worst. I did better this time than the first. That's a good thing.

Went to see my dad today, because I was working father's day.

We watched the Peacekeeper Wars. He got drunk and fell asleep on the couch.

Yeah, John, tell me again about how it all begins with family.
