Hot?
February 22 - February 28 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
Anorexia has always been my poison of choice, and after many many MANY years in therapy, a few hospital stays, over a year of my life in total spent in psichiatric institutions [before I was even 18, by the way], I know what I am talking about.
The girl in the picture is not me [I took that picture from google because to this day I still don't think I ever got that skinny, even though I did, and I have a million health issues because of it], but it's reality for thousands of people around the world.
...but I'm now popping up to say: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone whose birthday I missed. I really do love you all.
Everything is going fabulous, I am almost a pro at Italian now (which I had never ever had to be fluent at before, but having a husband and 5 daughters who took to it like fish to water, I kinda had to become a pro), and I finally have all my babies inrolled in school and other activities.
The move itself was HELL, and I was so busy I forgot to eat a lot of the time and then I landed myself in the hospital, but I am okay now and not overexhausting myself at all. Mr. Faith has been great about everything and he's doing awesome at work. We are thinking about buying the house we live innow, because it fits us so well and it even has space for that last baby we're been talking about. (After next baby though, we are DONE).
I haven't been able to keep up with fandoms or the FList or anything like it but whenever something interesting happens, my girl
bowlerhat_girl tells me about it and we have some squee-age. I miss her like hell. I miss nana too but that's it. I am actually glad I moved. It's as if like I left my baggage physically behind.
I will try and pop up again sometimes soon, but do not expect fic or anything of the sort from me because I am convinced my writingdays are over and behind me.
Love you ALL,
FAITH :D

I'm moving to Rome after Christmas. *gasp*
Mr. Faith got a VERY IMPORTANT JOB, and it's a great opportunity for us as a family, especially for my girls, to get in touch with their roots. I want them all to always feel like they beling, because I never did, and I really think that this is the right thing to do for us.
I am nervous as fuck though, wouldn't you be? FOR REAL? (Much hand-holding by my girl JJ was had, but now I have stopped hyperventilating and I am very okay with out decision.)
Of course this means that our baby plans will have to be postponed for a year or two, but that's fine because with Miranda (aka Baby #5) we have our hands full right now, it wouldn't have worked anyway.
Wish me luck? I might be even more scarce than I have been till now for a while,but remember that I love you all and that I miss you fiercely!!!
HUGGLES!!!

From my darling friend
bowlerhat_girl, who gives me fic whenever I want, I bring you this. Yes, she is giving away fic and she is a wicked good writer so you should ALL go and leave her some prompts, because you will definitely be happy with the results.
Fic-Or-Treat 2008

Want some candy y'all?
So my mother never took me trick-or-treating, so I have issues. And thus, I love this holiday something fierce, so here you have it. Plus,
slybrunette made me do it. She has ways.
Instructions for FoT:
1) Leave your prompts in this format: character or pairing/prompt word or song lyric or situation/any special notes or preferences
2) Fandoms: Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Dirty Sexy Money and ONE TREE HILL. I can also write House up to S3, and RPF, depending on who does the asking.
3) There is no maximum, you can ask for one fic or you can ask for twenty, but I'll probably just write you one.
4) Characters/pairings not eligible for request: none of the Lost tailies, no Micheal [Lost] and no Hahn [Grey's Anatomy]. Everything else is fair game.
5) I'll really try to give everyone somecandy fic..
6) If you ask for either Karen or Izzie centric fics, you're likely to get it. Just sayin'. Also, Brooke Davis is love, I just thought you should know.
7) May or may not be Halloween related. Your choice.
I'll be accepting prompts from October 31, 2008 at 9:00 PM local time till November 3, 2008 at 9:00 PM local. I'll let you know in a comment when I have your words all ready to go.
Everyone who wants fic can ask for it because I need to start writing again and prompts are a really good way to get inspired.
Happy Halloween and happy prompting!!!

Yesterday passed and I still feel the same. That can't be good.
But.
It's like when you're drowning and once you hit the bottom you know you can at least attempt to swim up. I think. I'm not good with putting feelings into words lately.
Thanks to all of you guys, who make things a little bit better just by being there and especially to
bowlerhat_girl who let's me get all over the place with my emotional tirades. Really.

I am catching up with months and months of fic, starting with the always awesome
Stars Falling on our Heads is a freaking fantastic Harry/Hermione fic. I am more of a Harry/Ginny girl myself but this one was about the coolest angsty future fic I've read in a while.
Butterflies like chains is heart-breaking, in a good way, in a way that makes you ache for this character who really didn't ask - or want - to be Aaron's mother. It's Kate-fic of the best kind, JJ gets inside her head in a really scary way.
Or go check out her Kate/Sayid fic, the Night Belongs to You, that makes terrifying amounts of sense. Or my personal favourites, already gone away [Kate/Sam and the daddy issues of awesome] and all because of you [Kate/Tom that grabs you from the first line with its foretold tragedy].
Really, in the end, anything by

I wrote this forever ago and I haven’t posted because I’ve never felt like reading through it again but I’ve promised this fic to at least three people and I thought I should deliver. It deals, somewhat tangentially, with the subject of abortion, and it’s, according to me, in character for someone like Temperance Brennan to do this so bare with me.
I would really appreciate it if someone gave me a title for this, please? Pretty please? With a cherry on top?
Untitled.
Author: Faith
Summary: She climbs off and vomits, supporting herself with one hand firmly planted on the hood of your car. You wonder then if you know before she does.
AN: No specific spoilers, this could be anywhere from S1 to S3. This is my take on Brennan getting pregnant and beware, there are no happily ever afters to be had here. If you’re not Pro-Choice, I strongly recommend against reading this.
( It’s a simple explanation for a very complicated matter. )

tidbit2008, who wanted something little that asks too many questions and this is where my mind goes when I think of that. It's Izzie with a child and coda to It's the Mommy Thing. ( Yes, I know, but why? )

I sat down meaning to write down my new Kate fic and my first Juliet's
psych_30 fic because I am all about Lost these days and those two are highly ficcable. Instead my brain wandered and I got this, which is all over the place. But I have a thing for Five Things fics, even if this wasn't thought through.

I'm gonna go watch some Lost now. That show is like crack. *shakes head at self* I'm gonna watch What Kate Did, and the title tells me I'll probably enjoy the hell out of it.
And I still need to look for a Kate icon, dammit.
Anybody want to pimp this? I'm gonna go, Lost DVDs await me.
