![]() Author has written 4 stories for Naruto, Mercy Thompson series, and Hobbit. Where Ice-Eagle came from: I have absolutely no idea. It was partly me thinking of Mercedes Lackey and her books (which rock to the X-treme with a Capital X) and partly 'cuz I thought it sounded good. Anyway, to people who don't know me, my name is Ice-Eagle Y'siri. Call me Ice or whatever you want as long as it doesn't screw around too much with my name. I'm a girl. Hooray. At the moment, I'm just working on This Just Isn't My Day and Unexpected Arrivals--I've found out that I can really only work on one or two fandoms at a time; I am otherwise completely scatterbrained. OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it. What else... The updating of my story (soon to be stories) will be slightly sporadic b/c I have a lot of other things besides FanFiction, and as you can see I haven't updated for a few weeks already. I'll be extremely busy soon, so please be patient with me. Z'hai'hallav'a, (Wind to thy wings), |
