TTS: 131. TEN things about your past.
Oct. 30th, 2008 12:51 pm* The facts are subject to open record; the substance is not an open book.
* My father was a cop. It's why I became one too.
* Two marriages and two divorces? Don't stand too well with big Irish Catholic family. Especially my mother.
* Marrying at seventeen turned out to be a bad idea.
* Marrying a, so to speak, colleague turned out to be a bad idea. That may have been because he's a total ass, though. I wish my baby sister could have learned from my experience...
* I've been practicing Aikido since I was eleven. Good thing too.
* I was dumped into SI, what amounts to being the 'leper colony' of CPD. Well, not into, on top of it. Getting down from there was my own doing. With a little unexpected and unasked-for help.
* That 'wizard' guy from the yellow pages? Yeah, I work with him. Yeah, he's the real deal.
* Silver items with sentimental family value have way more than sentimental family value.
* The term 'psychic violation' is not something made up. Nor something fun. At all.

- Ice Cream (if Thomas hasn't eaten it)
- Pancakes (Yes. Dresden knows me too well. Not even I can turn them down. Dammit)
- Cheerios. Ummmmm. The kind that Harry tends to have.
- Coffee.
- My mother's cooking.
- Strawberries. But only when they're actually in season and... sun-kissed.
- Hamburgers, home-made
- Cuban style tamales
- Baby carrots.

* Tackling bullies works one way or another, regardless of their age and size (or mine). My lunch box is mine. Period. (My brother's homework is his, too.)
* The above doesn't mean I can't get hurt in the process. But that result's worth it.
* There are very good reasons for all the instructors' warning us not to use Aikido except for actual self defense.
* It's awesome to have my brothers (they may be younger but it didn't take them long to outgrow me, in size) as backup.
* They aren't always near, though.
* Cheating will help you get a good grade. Is the good grade my goal for being in school - or doing whatever else I do?
* People who treat me like a cute little girl get on my nerves in other ways too. No exceptions. It's a clear signal and I don't need to be nice.
* For that matter, being nice overall doesn't seem to be working out well for me anyway. Some people are even all right with that.
* I don't tend to be much of a favorite with teachers and other superiors. Great.
* The thingsmy father taught me that I believe are important and true? They still are, no matter who says otherwise.

- Lisa!I should have never let her even know the above son of a bitch.
- Mom.I can't just talk to her.
- Dad.Whatever it was, the trail was too cold by the time I could get to it...
- Kravos.Maybe if I'd thought to tell Dresden about it sooner...
- All the times more lives were lost than could have been if I'd managed to persuade superiors that real danger was afoot. So that they could evacuate buildings, and so forth.
- Carmichael.Those silver bullets weren't big enough.

Never in my life did I think I'd live to see somebody this stupid actually wearing a police badge. Oh right, there are some very stupid people, but - this just goes over the top. LOOK at her! How can you actually have coffee AND food while being cuffed to anyone? She's gotten into trouble? Well she asked for it. Loud and clear. Gun-waving ain't gonna help that. No, really it won't.
Yeah, I get it may be a picture with somebody dressed up, with toy badge and cuffs - most likely is. But just the thought...
She might be still a trainee, of course. God above, I hope this is merely a speculation. Whoever would let somebody that ... intellectually impaired into training? But if their own capacity wasn't much bigger, it's just possible. And, assuming she did graduate and was assigned to actual work. How long would it take till she ended in Special Investigations?
Not long. No, really. If she made it through training, with that lack of brains? She's got somebody lobbying for her being a police... person, on the inside. High on the inside. And since she obviously can't do anything sensible, she's gonna end up here, in the Lepers colony.
And that means she's going to end up working with me.
I really hope it's only a dress-up show for the picture. Or she's going to be in for a worse time than in any of her - probably limited - nightmares.
Yes, guys, you can bet on how long it will take me to straighten her out.

TTS 94. TEN vices you have.
Apr. 12th, 2008 05:48 pmForgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
I have had impure thoughts about men.
And I have committed adultery.
I have felt wrath, and have given myself to it.
I have turned to medications and alcohol to console grief that hurt me too badly.
I have sought to extract vengeance upon those who have brought harm to their neighbors. Some of them I have brought to justice; other times, I have taken the punishment into my own hands.Well sometimes it was also a case of self-preservation, but that doesn't change the facts.
I have associated with witches and wizards and others who do not heed Your word.
I have spoken harshly of, and to, my mother.
I have taken pride in what I do and who I am.
I have lied, spoken half-truths, and bluffed to reach my goals.
I have seemed to leave those I'm sworn to protect, in order to fight other battles.It was a case of dealing with the problem more thoroughly, but again, that doesn't change the facts.
And I do not foresee stopping to do any of the above.

- Sit back and let those things going 'bump' in the night rampage free and unchecked.
- Let Dresden - or anyone else - try to protect us all without backup.
- Refuse to use a resource I have available to do my job. Yes, that means reading Dresden's reports too, even when they're hard to believe. Yes, that also means using Dresden as a backup.
- Regret doing what needed to be done.
- Regret making the personal-life choices that I have.
- Stop caring about my family. And what my family ... thinks. I know it would be easier if I did, I just can't. That doesn't mean I'll change to suit them.
- Do, consciously, harm to somebody I an certain is innocent.
- Stopcaring about poking fun of Dresden.
- Walk away, uncaring, when someone is in need of help and I know and can do something - anything - about it.
- Forget the way Raith almost broke me and damned if I don't try to do SOMETHING about it! Making the same mistake twice? Not if I can help it.
