Thank You
I am both awed and humbled by those who nominated me for the . It was certainly unexpected to say the least. Well so much for my hopes of being able to skip out of the awards unnoticed. It appears I won’t be able to do that now!
Being nominated as best parent, Hottest Historical / Female, Best original muse / female is indeed an honour. I am not altogether sure how my name came up as an honourable mention for “best feet”, I haven’t got too many strappy sandals where I have been showing off my toes off.
I would especially like to thank grissom_tm for being an absolutely wonderful person to write and roleplay with. You are always a gentleman and very courteous, in spite of all of your protestations at being socially inept. That we were nominated together for Favourite Non-Canon Couple and Couple So Hot, They Melt Your Monitor was a surprise. Neither of us tends to be very public about such things.
At any rate, I know I am up against some very talented and wonderful competition. I wish each and every one of you well in your categories and can say that many of you have filled me with awe many times over during the year. It’s been a pleasure to both read what you have to say and interact with those of you that I know on an individual basis. So, rather than pimp myself here, what I am going to do is gratefully and quietly say ‘thank you’.
(And to civ_barbarian; Hsu Darling, you and your mun deserve absolutely every nomination that you have gotten even the ones which you’d rather not have been nominated for in the first place. At any rate, no need to tell you my sentiments on this. You already know . *wry grin*)
OOC: Both mun and muse are very surprised. I know that Fanny was being very quiet about the Tammy’s this year, especially since the mun has had alot of things going on. Thank you very much on behalf of both fannyfae and myself.

Prompt: Do Over?
I’ve already answered this question or one like it, – repeatedly. Is there some perverse need to be redundant, or after this, might we at some time, move on?
Instead of spending time looking at the past to regret what was left done or undone, I find it is far more powerful a thing to look at those ‘mistakes’ and move on. What good does it do to regret or wish to do things over again? The purpose of looking back at all is a matter of educating oneself from personal experience, and there is no better teacher than that. Once learned, it becomes a given that you will be far less likely to fall into the same pitfall once again.
Everything I have ever done served a greater purpose in the end, whether or not I ‘failed’ miserably or not. Without the experience, no doubt I would be entirely unable to manoeuvre around similar obstacles today. Life is like a game of chess. You gain skill at the game only by playing it. Regretting a loss is not useful. You merely learn from it and become a better player next time. Would I change anything differently the second time around?
Most probably not.

TM Prompt #179 Empire
“What most people don’t seem to realize is that there is just as much money to be made out of the wreckage of a civilization as from the upbuilding of one… There’s good money in empire building. But, there’s more in empire wrecking.” – Rhett Butler, ‘Gone With The Wind’ (Margaret Mitchell).
It is clear that Mr. Rhett Butler obviously understands the Laws of Power. Empires rise and Empires fall. People tend to be most generally complacent and stupid. They hate change. They resist it; never realizing that the very fabric of Life itself is always about change. Without it, like it or not, things stagnate, whither and die. But most do not pay attention to the cycles of change and even from this can be found profit and a way to not only survive, but to thrive. My own life has been long, I have seen and assisted in any number of literal empires in their rise and fall. And I have, from the inevitable rising and falling, profited from it.
Much has been written about how to wage war, how to build an empire or to preserve it or to strike one down. I have done both. Those who would build empires or tear them down forget one thing. They forget the rules of engagement with the opposition. Dreams of glory through full frontal assault make ordinary men (or women) into pocket potentates. And yet, not every war has been won with such blatant assault.
In this game that is Life, we all mean to win. None of us enter it setting out or even expecting to lose. But in order to win, you must realize that for most, the intellect loses to emotion. Groups think emotionally. The members of any given group will only change their course if something directly affecting them and their lifestyle is at stake. If they have something to lose, or if rather greed sets in because of a fear of lack. If you manipulate a situation just so, they will behave in a manner that cuts along the lines of instinct and therefore they will do as you wish them to. And they will do so simply because they cannot help themselves. And if you are the calm in the storm, more often times than not they will do whatever you ask. Thus, the tides of Power shift and you can be there to reap the rewards.
