I'm a terrible person, but the recent fedcon wank and mediacon prices make me want to go in ALL CAPS MEET A JAPANESE SEIYUU - HIDENOBU KIUCHI FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS AT THE DOOR. Saturday August 2nd, 2008 Roundhouse@UNSW, instructions on how to get there.

;>.> Ten if you pre-reg.

/pimp.

( thoughts on Narnia, thoughts on faith *oogie boogie type gesturing*, ack my childhood with horse and his boy )

My sister tried to suffocate me in my sleep because i chew in my sleep.


This happened at Christmas.


I only found out today. o.o;

So thanks to the doll wank I finally got around to reading "looking for a group" which I'd been meaning to do for a while.

I knew Draffyn (my younger sibling) favourite character, was Richard. I knew that Richard was an evil monomaniacal type character who had something to do with singing.

So no surprises there.

It was surprising how slashy I found the relationship between Richard and Cale, though. I mean I don't ship it ... exactly ... I just find it impossible to believe that there isn't something on Richards end, in a warped and corrupting the innocent manner. O.o; like in the first chapter the thought he's trying to get into your pants and introduce you (Cale) to a life of debauchery cropped up, and... never went away.... at all while reading.


Draffyn says that I'm not in her good books anymore. T.T

My first thoughts after reading this article this article were "it's a trap!" with how the dark matter criss crosses across.

I have the urge to create a quiz on quizilla! This hasn't happened in like three years.

Are you an evil angle?

As in, triangle.


It includes such beauties as this:

Your friends are dating. How much do you know.
(a) Acutely aware of all of the juicy goss.
(b) Actually your kind of obtuse to this sort of thing.
*c) Yup, yup all seems pretty straightforward, best of luck to them and you don't really need to know much more than that.
(d) Just the right amount of knowledge - you know what your friends tell you, and don't need to know any more than that.
(e) Nobody tells you anything! If it wasn't for your quick reflexes you could of seriously screwed up.

halp halp. I think the sleep deprivation is catchign up. D:

Truthfully it irritates me when I keep seeing people go on about how ugly InsaneJournal is, and I kinda wanta go /but you can fix it!/ except I strongly suspect IJ is going to end up being fairly wanky already without me making it even worse.

But new site schemes:
Worksafe: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v18/Qemedmm/comp/worksafe.jpg
Dramatic sidebar: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v18/Qemedmm/comp/dramaticsidebard.jpg
Dramatic dropdown: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v18/Qemedmm/comp/dramaticdropdown.jpg

And the new layouts should be even more css friendly if you wanted to modify them.... if you use epiphany, firefox or Opera you can follow this tutorial here: http://snakeling.insanejournal.com/63503.html

And aha, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but blocking images you don't like isn't exactly the hardest thing to do in the world...

This fills me with unholy glee.

( cut not deleted because oneday I will learn not to post when tired but today wasn't that day. )

There is not nearly as much crossover with table top rp and anime as people would think and at the moment it's really irritating when people - even from within - keep grouping us together, because... we're not the same, we have different humour, different wants... Different outlooks.

And we were both pretty broad groups to begin with.

It's nice to have a little crossover but when it comes down to it, our own little corners are cosy enough, and we shouldn't try to be "adding on" others - it comes off as superficial in the end.

Also! It's fascinating the lack of women in the western media choices (read, rp people) and the abundance of women in the eastern media choices (read anime).

No seriously, I might of been watching for it, and I had say in what the anime choices where (not nearly as much as some people might think though), and very little in the Western, but what the hell.

Admittedly some (but only some!) of that abundance is fanservice, but if when it comes down to not existing or physic defying boobies, I'll pick the boobies. EVERY TIME.

Both are slightly more likely to know what your talking about with the other, but that doesn't mean that their all that interested.

So I was looking through the old wank - like two years ago, and thought I spotted someone I know in rl who only just turned 18 ( so certainly wouldn't of been then.)

Fortunately both variations of the username given aren't the same or how this person chooses to call themselves which is a variation on their username... though I'd certainly feel more comfortable if their journal didn't exist at the time - which is not the case sadly... D: So I don't need to bring in the internal/external debate of, well do we delete it now?

But I'm still left with vague feelings of unclean.

Mostly because it reminded me of why I used to like them and uh, I kind of find them v. annoying now.

Racism wank is not funny.
Youtube wank is not funny.

But eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, is that kid cute there and had me giggling and clapping my hands. Family in the background look so fake/stiff/postured though. D:

Bah.

Was reading over the Hair incident, and one thing that strikes me as being just plain odd with the conversations involved, is... His hair (the one everyone obsesses about!) doesn't strike me as the wash and wear kind.

I mean it's obviously a lot easier than straightening it... And is maximising his natural style.

But I don't get how people can say that it is messy... I just don't.

It's just to me it looks like it has been really obviously styled and although yes... it's called t.v - he strikes me as quite presentable.

I wouldn't find it unusual if a kid/teen/early twenties had hair like that on the streets and would take the assumption that they spend much more time on hair matters than me and are stylish sort of people. which is not hard, as the only hair matters I worry about are great big clumping knots, tying it back into a bun/ponytail, and cleanliness. D:

( more thoughts on hair )

I'll file this as one of those situations in which. People Are Weird.

Also *after clicking more links* douchebags.

But I'll save my thoughts on yaoi for another day. ;>.>

Vaguish idea for a challenge prompt for myself, would be happy if it spread.

For me: Pick ten female characters I like and write drabbles on them by a deadline.

For you: Pick a character from the list, name your prompt, and I will write you a drabble. Can be pairing, colour, detailed whatever.

Biske-chan (hxh)
Renge (Ouran)
Momo (Oofuri)
Luna (hp)
Nase (hikago)*Manga only
Yuki (whistle!!)* (vol... 13 I think + random in store browsing of 15 I think?. All of anime.)
Kagura (IY)* /after ze chapter/
Mamori (es21)*current with manga, ep 40 with anime
Selphie (ffviii)
Cherie (KKM) *all of anime.



Vague public code for the next list
FTNL, EBC, YKK, QFF8, FHO, HGHP, Yffx, pffx2,

Don't need to know me to make a claim, I'll strike out once it's completed and bold when it's claimed.

Aim to finish... Dec 31st.

My thoughts on the recent wankity-wank.

I find it somewhat ironic that everyone is going on about readability when.

Uh.

Fact:
Lowercase is easier to read than uppercase.

MY OPINION:
I'd personally rather people paragraph than use mixed case. There are people I seriously want to go and stabbity in there and the OP isn't one of them.

DISCLAIMER:
Mixed case is nice too, though.

Fact:
Ow. Ow. Ow. My eyes, my eyes.

Viva la boredom. o.o;

That being said, I agree that making an effort to make your posts readable goes a long way in keeping people amicable. + It is polite because it makes things a lot easier for people and more likely to pay attention to the meaning than focusing on the semantics.

+ What's so hard about adjusting your writing style for the group your writing to. It's not like that's completely different from what you do in meatspace anyway...

Article

Signs Qem needs more sleep:

... After reading that article Qem's thought process was something like:

First thought:
"so it's like kinky BSDM."
Second thought:
"Wait. What?"
Third thought:
"How does that even make sense?
Forth thought:
"... Why would you even? WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM."
Fifth thought:
D:

Have some links to my little pony fusion/xover artwork and fic!


My little pony meets Dr House
My little pony meets FF7
My little pony meets Harry Potter and the marauders.


And as for fic? Do you know Good Omens? Crossover at 12 o'clock

Hope you have a great day. :)

If blocking images actually makes a difference with bandwidth?

I think they still get pinged but don't get fully loaded...


;.; I miss icons but I'll miss JF more so... Just trying to figure out ways to reduce bandwidth for now.

ETA: Disable thread unfolder for JF as well.

Hmm. I might not enable that one back here however much I love it.

I ♥ alt tags. ;.;

Conspiracy theory 101
Ms Scribe was hired by 6 apart as part of a LOOK A DISTRACTION Campaign.

//end tired random thought.

THE RULES:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Or your favorite breed of tropical fish/kind of bug/breed of dog. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions

( Questions from Snacky and Rottenfish )

-"any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
-"If technology is distinguishable from magic, it is insufficiently advanced."
-"any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology."

This was my hobby at one point, like many other things I do, to annoy someone. Writing down as much as I can, while sleep deprived to redo this.

Er the overall point was that concepts are backuped by language, and just because the approach is different doesn't make the concept any less or more, only differently shaped. Or soemthing.

Basically pointing out similarities between fantasy and scifi.

Astronomy is from Astrology, Chemistry is from Alchemy, Science Fiction is from Fantasy and ultimately the difference lies in motivation/explanation.

In other words Qem likes reading trashy novels.

( blah )

Er this list was probably largely influenced by or influenced the SpaceFaring Unicorns that were highly placed in an organisation that effectively created an intergalactic economic and technological stranglehold.

At this point I'm not sure which came first - the unicorns had spaceships about a decade before the list, but the unicorns were considerably refined after the list. But both the list and the unicorns can be summed by... "I fail to see a difference." and "Whee this is cool!"

This is what happens when you read your fathers books before your tall enough to get them of the shelf without a chair.
