Title: Trodden
Prompt: "memory"
Memories make the person.
Every event that's ever happened molds you into who you are.
Moments of happiness and joy.
Or moments of pain, grief, and anger.
Reliving your memories shows you were you've been and how far you've come.
You're what your memories make you.
My memories have made me into... something.
Each of the "damned distasteful things" I've done have darkened my soul.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives have lost someone because of me.
O'Neill the Killer.
Regret, over so many things, hangs on my consciousness.
Yet these people, my team, make me into something else -- bringing me what I never thought was possible... Salvation.
Author's Note: Did you happen to notice anything about the first letter of each of the first six lines, as well as the last six lines?

Now I wanna see new pictures.
I was planning on posting new pics after I finish my AD poster... so I can have me standing next to it to show its actual size. Dang, I didn't know it's be THAT big! I have no idea where I can going to put it. :( But once I do, I'll post pics...
...IF I ever get the thing finished. My printer screwed up on the last half's worth of pages, so I have to reprint. But my printer is being evil! It doesn't like page 13 and won't let me print past 12. >:( I'll try some things. If they don't work, I don't know what the heck I'm going to do!
Anyway.... One of my LJ friends made this ICON, and I thought you might like it to go along with your "insanity is fun" Wes icon. :D (If you use it, please credit to

Date: May 29th, 2004 09:06 pm (UTC)So Dylan is going to "start over" in another alternate universe? No? Is he going to come back and save Harper and the gang or does he just go on another "route" and try again?
no subject
Date: May 29th, 2004 09:44 pm (UTC)I just watch all of Harper's part and try not to strain my brain with the rest.
Tehe!!! I do that, too! Ah, Harper. Just love him.
So Dylan is going to "start over" in another alternate universe?
I don't know, but I'm not going to be too happy if that's what happens. Yeah, maybe everyone is still alive in this universe, but HIS people are all dead. Our Harper is dead!! Even in "new" Harper is alive, well, and exactly like our Harper, he's not our Harper. I'm just going to have a time dealing with it all if that's what happens. But I'm hoping he'll somehow jump back in time (not too far I hope, 'cause I won't know what to think either) and be able to stop what happened.
Heck, I don't know what the writers have up their sleeves, but I hope they have Harper very much alive!!
I read your Profile... Andromeda, Stargate SG-1, Angel, Smallville, LotR, Harry Potter, and Ewan McGregor? Oh, my!! You better watch it, or I'll be stalking your LJ! Just kidding, but I love all those. :D

Hope you'll find a place to put him.
And I love the icon, took it, credited properly and will now even head over to her place to let her know that I like it and will use it. At least for the next two days, till my extra icon space expires. And it is my fivetith icon. So now I can say I had all 50 and didn't waste any of that space I was given by
no subject
Date: May 30th, 2004 06:53 pm (UTC)Yeah, I know. But I've had a not so good day, so I'm not going to bother with it for a while.
And apparently you don't have a walk in closet to put Alexis into.
Nope. I barely have a walk-in room! And, of course, I've already taken up almost all of my wall space with other posters and such. I may, however, have to give up my Harry Potter beach towel for AD...
And I love the icon
Yeay! Maybe we should work on an Insanity Icon Series for all our favorite guys. :D
At least for the next two days, till my extra icon space expires.
I'm trying not to think about that. I don't know what I'll do if I have to go back to only 3 icons. So I'm lovin' it what I can!

Date: May 30th, 2004 07:06 pm (UTC)I'm sorry to hear that. If you wanna chat, I'm still awake and am online. *huggles*

Me neither. The room is just a tiny bit bigger than the closet. And poor Harry Potter towel. But hey, it's AD.

Well, J.D. is always imagining things. Just like me. And there was this one episode of 'Joan of Arcadia', where Luke drinks like a gallon of coffee, so that his brain is more capable of saving information for this mathathon. Or whatever that was. He was a bit insane in that ep too.
I don't know what I'll do if I have to go back to only 3 icons. So I'm lovin' it what I can!
You won't. See, only 20 more hours and you'll get 6 more month of icony goodness (though there is a holiday in Germany tomorrow, maybe I already do have my money for this month). ;)

Date: May 30th, 2004 07:57 pm (UTC)Thanks for the huggles. :) I just had a bad episode a few hours ago. Sometimes, I have a problem talking to people in person or over the phone. Well, I was all alone yesterday and have been alone most of today. So, when someone came knocking on the front door, I couldn't answer it and went to get my dad. Then a few minutes later, my mom wanted me to call a restaurant to place an order for dinner, and I just couldn't make myself do it. My mom was annoyed, and I got mad at myself. I hate when this happens, but I just can't get over it. I cried for like an hour straight while trying to understand why this happens, and I started thinking about all sorts of other things, and it just made me completely emotionally frazzled. Had I not been alone for the weekend, I would have been fine. I'm better now but still upset with myself. ANYWAY, I'll quit talking now...
And poor Harry Potter towel. But hey, it's AD.
Yes, it's AD. :) And I'll just move the towel to another well.
You won't. See, only 20 more hours and you'll get 6 more month of icony goodness

Date: May 30th, 2004 08:24 pm (UTC)I only have the J.D. pictures. Or some of them. I need to find a good site for 'Joan of Arcadia'. I hope I'll get done with the picture search next weekend. Maybe I'll just have to use your muffins. ;)

Date: May 30th, 2004 08:44 pm (UTC)I'm really beginning to wonder if I should. :( I can make myself do things, but it takes me hours sometimes to get my mind used to the idea. ::sigh:: I'll keep an eye on myself to see if it gets really bad.
there was this boy in my group, who's mom couldn't get herself to get out of the house most of the time.
Poor thing. She is/was likely an agoraphobic. I definitely don't have that. It's just being around people I don't know throws me off sometimes.
Hope it cheered you a bit up.
Of course it did! Now I can work on my Muffin Mood Theme and have time to enjoy it.
Awwwwwwwwwwwe. My mom was leaving for work a few minutes ago and found something on the windshield of my car: a card with a red rose. The card is thanking me for being a "very special person" and that I'm loved. How great is that timing??!?! It says it's from a Secret Admirer, but the handwriting looks oddly similar to that of my best friend Katie's. *g* ::meep:: Where are my tissues? I'm going to cry again! But happy crying this time...

She is/was likely an agoraphobic
Maybe. I forgot what it was called. It is almost 8 to 10 years ago and we only talked once about his mom in group therapy. So I can't remember the name.
It's just being around people I don't know throws me off sometimes.
I hope you'll find a way to deal with this.
And your friend sounds adorable. That's so sweet of her.

Date: May 30th, 2004 09:05 pm (UTC)I like the grey of the text boxes, so I would like to leave them grey. But I want a different background image. And like always, I don't really have an idea what it should be other than that it should look good with the grey text boxes. You can do landscapes, or just something abstract or something from the shows I watch or anything that has to do something with my interests.
But you don't have to do it, just because I gave you that paid account. That was for the mood theme. And some day I will have those pics and you will have to make it for me. ;)

Date: May 30th, 2004 10:20 pm (UTC)I know, it's just that I like dealing with things myself. But I'm going to my medical doctor later this week, so I'll see if she has anything to say about it. Couldn't hurt to ask, at least. :)
And your friend sounds adorable. That's so sweet of her.
Since college started, we haven't seen much of each other. She's had a rough year, so I've never missed a chance to let her know I'm here for her. And hehe, I got her addicted to Wesley and AD. But I love her enough to share. :D
no subject
Date: May 30th, 2004 10:26 pm (UTC)Well, I was bored. *g* Try THIS on for size. I was just playing around, so if you want something done differently, text added, or even something completely different altogether, just let me know. :)
I sized it to your existing background, so you shouldn't have to change any settings, just change the pic.

That random useless site was rather amusing, although got fright of life when computer randomly started talking to me in strange voice (forgot had clicked on link).
including a very alive Harper!!
WHAT?! Harper's dead?! Huh?! ...okay, should explian that I have seen only season one plus the episode with James Marsters, and that's about it!

Date: May 31st, 2004 10:08 pm (UTC)Well, how sweet of her. I hope I meet those expectations. :D

Thank you. I have lots more that I've written... if you ever get board. ;)
WHAT?! Harper's dead?! Huh?!
Calm down!! The fact is, we don't know. It was a cliffhanger episode. Everyone was not having a good day at all, so who knows how it will end up. But I was just stressing that I hope Harper lives through it all.
...okay, should explian that I have seen only season one plus the episode with James Marsters, and that's about it!
Well, I haven't really paid attention to this season ::ashamed:: until I found Harper fic and am now a recovering Harper addict!! :) I'm catching up with reruns, but I SO have to re-watch all the seasons so I can catch up on all the great Harper I've missed. *g*

I am a fanfic slut, point me in the right direction! ;)
The fact is, we don't know. It was a cliffhanger episode.
Ugh, hate those! Esp when they decide afterwards to cancel the show...sucks! I like Harper, hope he's okay. Have to admit that Tir was my fave though, and I heard he left :(

Ugh, hate those! Esp when they decide afterwards to cancel the show...sucks!
I hate them, too. >:( There has been word, though, that there will be another season, so I hope everything will be okay!
I like Harper, hope he's okay.
Me, too!!! ::crosses fingers::
Have to admit that Tir was my fave though, and I heard he left
He's okay. I like him and Harper together. They're too funny. Yes, Tyr left, but I don't know why. (I need to catch up!) I know the actor left because he was on another show, or something like that, but I don't know what Tyr's story is.

Date: June 2nd, 2004 10:26 am (UTC)THe droolworthy actor (who's name excapes me atm) was getting pissed off that there was no character development and no plot and that the writers were doing nothing about it so he left...I also hear that after he did, they did as he had suggested, got a decent plot and started developing the characters! Much as with Michael Shanks, then.
