"Smash Into You" - Beyonce

The testimony the girl gave (and by pleading guilty Roman admitted to) indicated that she said "no" often which makes the whole "well, you know, maybe he didn't know her age" "maybe 13 was the age of consent!" (which it wasn't; I think it was 16 at the time) so stupid. Rape is rape.
I am sooooooooooo disappointed that Whoopi Goldberg is one of the rape defenders.

Moiraine spoke. "Clearly, this was a case of a well-intentioned, conscientious Warder making a split-second decision based on what, at the time, appeared to him be the facts. I see no evidence of 'Warder brutality' or any other wrongdoing. A civilian board of inquiry would only interfere with the ability of the Warders to do their job and protect the public."
Later, after planting a sword on the dead body and intimidating several witnesses, the company skipped town and checked into a cheap motel down the road in Shadar Logoth.
Aaah, so Randland has their own LAPD to worry about. XD

Unlike Evil Betrayer of Hope Jan, I am far too lazy to make a blog post. So I rant on MW instead (although now that I think on it, is it really different than loading wordpress? No, but whatever!)
Here is a nice little article.
Basically, if you haven't heard, there are all these actors and directors who all have their little panties in a twist because OH MY GOD! The fugitive Roman Polanski got arrested for raping a child and fleeing justice.
He pleaded guilty to this charge so how in the world anyone can try and excuse raping a child is beyond me. Saying he has had a hard life because he couldn't accept his Oscar in person or cast movies in California is so...ugh. I wish my life was as hard with all those European mansions! Mon Dieu!

Oh? Is that so? Do you claim there was something cut that would prevent me from doing harm to a certain author?
-
I. Waited. Years. For. This. Book.
How could you, Jan!!! How could you??!!
They will not marry and have babies now! I, I, I, I hate you!
This is the price you pay for being an author!
:hand:

I have made an executive decision! Any MW meetup should happen in London.
No, I was not bribed by Laura. Maybe.
-
The way she did Meidani's voice was so odd.
My only thing about Elaida not noticing is that even after she turned back around, they were still down there whispering. Is Elaida now blind too? Or maybe I just except Elaida to be paranoid and accuse them of conspiring even if they weren't, because that's how Elaida rolls.

AshSnow has kidnapped her. California seems to be a dangerous place to send the Flaties.
-
I'm wondering if after all these years if I should try my hand again at Moiraine/Siuan fic. I think excitement from book 12 is causing these thoughts.
-
Oh my god, that whole passage where they are whispering I was like "can't Elaida hear them? Or at least see them as she is walking back?!" I mean come on! Especially considering how long of a conversation it really was. Elaida really would be off her rocker to not notice that.
I say Aiel correctly nowadays, although I used to say it differently. The names have much better...flow when said correctly when compared to my attempts at imagining how they should sound. The exception being Egwene. But I don't think that name could sound anything less than awkward no matter how you say it.
Now that you mention it, yes, I don't like how it seems to be drilled consistently throughout the series and now this chapter how Aes Sedai would be better Aes Sedai if they had Aiel training.
I hope Egwene is told/figures out right quick about the ferrets being bounded by the Oath Rod to the BA Hunters. I don't really want that plotline being dragged out at this point in the series a-la Morgase in hiding storyline.
-
My word...so if you are registered on Tor.com you can access the audio for chapter two.
I have been saying Egwene wrong. And a couple others. :V
Like the prolouge it seemed to flow much better that the first chapter. I'm hoping chapter one was a fluke, but I guess we'll see.
I do like crazy-ass Elaida.

My mouth is still numb!

My mouth is numb from the dentist.

I have finished book ten. I have to say, it was kind of exciting.
Especially towards the end there. I haven't even cracked open KoD but I'm already excited and pumped for TGS. -
It's party time!

I wonder if RJ thinks it is simply easier for women to practice sexual abstinence. I just can't get over the Kin doing such a practice, when you consider how many of them there are and how long they live. I somehow doubt menopause gives them any leeway in that regard.
-
-
I'm not sure. It is hard to tell sometimes if RJ means actual sex buddies or just close friends. Truth be told the idea of damane having sex with each other disturbs me. I think it is the leashes.
I think for me it is the sheer number of female virgins in the story. The only shining light I can see is horny ass Galina, and Tarna breaking the Red stereotype and sexing some men up on occasion.
-
Oh but some men do take damane to their beds, as Tuon said to Mat (see! reread time for you! ) But those men are seen as perverts.
But if it happens then surely other damane would know about it. Especially a four hundred year old one!
-
Yes and what about Thom! Compared to him Moiraine might as well be a thirteen year old on her first date.
And then there is Siuan running away from Bryne like an idiot school girl with a crush. Until Bryne come into the picture Siuan seemed like the type to take a lover and move on when he bored her, but it seems when women fall in love in WoT they become born again virgins.
I can understand Nynaeve being a virgin, probably hard for a Wisdom to get laid, but Min? Seriously? No wonder the channeler population is lower than it was in the Age of Legends: women aren't breeding!
