Subject:Obligatory Summer Hiatus Post
Time:06:46 pm
It's that time of the year, and I'll be away for the next two months.

This means if I do comment, I'll be doing it ninja-style: swift and out of nowhere =P
I highly doubt I'll have time to be on MSN, so contacting me via comments are the best way to go.

Feel free to spam this post with links! And see you all in August! *hugs*



P.S. Silly poll: "In the absence of Moaning Myrtle in the 6th movie, Draco should..."

P.P.S. Wizarding swimwear. Scroll down for dork!Draco in green speedo and waterwings X-D

Circe_Tigana's reasons why you must abandon this ridiculous notion that the idiot potter is the heir of slytherin
(slytherin ensemble, PG-13)
Draco is tied spread-eagle to Salazar Slytherin's nose, and while he's intrigued by the She-Weasel's proficiency with knots and crampons, he's more intrigued by his Dark Lord's cheekbones. Now this is the kind of leader he could get behind.

[info]megyal's Say Anything [1][2]
(H/D, Not DH-compliant)
Draco has a crush on Harry and tells him in French.

[info]gatewaygirl's Girl Stuff and the Boys (Post-OotP, NC-17)
Characters: Ron, boy!Hermione, Harry, and Draco
Perposterice "Summeries"-based crack ficfest, Prompt 116: Hermione and Draco become head boy and girl stuff happens!
I'm fairly certain this was missing a semicolon between "girl" and "stuff," but it's more fun with a comma before the "and!"

[info]lilithilien's A Vengeance So Sweet; or When Harry Met Draco and Ended Their War Games
Summary: Cast your mind back to 1997 and to a little film called Addicted To Love, in which Meg Ryan was no perky girl-next-door but a kohl-eyed hellion bent on revenge, with Matthew Broderick as her mostly willing accomplice. The situation was just begging to be rewritten with Harry and Draco in mind.
Rating/warnings: NC-17. Warnings for ridiculously naïve!Harry (is that canon?), drag!Draco, musical!Krum, and disloyal!Ginny.

[info]megyal's The Naked Truth (H/D, 2120 words, PG)
slightly NWS images from an article in Cosmo, Naked Chefs



In other news, I'm constantly tired lately. *types one-handed* =_=

Subject:On Real ID, Batman & Superman
Time:04:23 pm
I'm surprised that this is the first time I've heard of Real ID. Either it wasn't a big deal in my state, or the cave I've been in is more removed from civilization than I thought.

Supposedly Real ID will reduce identity theft. But considering that I lose my ID cards, insurance cards and library cards all the time I think Real ID is not better for me. Heh.

Section 202(b) of the Act directs that REAL ID-compliant licenses
and identification cards must include the following information: pretty standard stuff )

I haven't bothered getting a state ID ever since I lost mine a few years back. Should get a driver's license too *is lazy*. After I become a citizen and change my name.



Anyway, I found out about Real ID via links from Batman, son of Superman Batman bin Suparman.
That's a real name. Suparman is a common name in Java, Indonesia. The similarity to a certain outside-underwear-red-boots-wearing alien is purely coincidental.

Too funny to not copy and paste here )

My friend in junior high was named Yasser Arafat, I kid you not.
So in retrospect naming your son after an American angsty anti-hero superhero makes more sense than naming your son after two Middle Eastern dictators leaders someones. At least it's not "Dick Grayson, twelve years old."

Subject:On the Attraction of Boys' Love and Androgyny
Time:11:19 pm
Disclaimer: This is my own observations on androgyny and the Japanese genre of Boys' Love.
I'm a Japanophile and have a few Japanese friends in rl, but I'm not Japanese. Just to let you know.
Wanky comments will be deleted =P

Plug at will. Am curious about what other people think.



This post originated as two comments in response to flyingskull’s comment on the Boys' Love genre.

On Boy's Love )

On Androgyny )



Comments? Theories? =)

Subject:Attachment Therapy: a search for survivors
Time:08:18 pm
(Text copied partly from [info]sams_cafe's post here)

Don't click on the link until you read the rest of the post.

ATTACHMENT THERAPY: A SEARCH FOR SURVIVORS.

This blog is for survivors of Attachment Therapy, also referred to as Holding Therapy or Rage Reduction. This is a brutal and sometimes fatal form of abuse masquerading as psychiatric treatment.

Attachment therapy promises quick fixes and firm results and creates lasting scars instead.

If you'd like more details about what Attachment Therapy involves (some of these are graphic), you can visit the blog.

Please post the link and title on your journal.

Some parent's going to be told they should send their child to Attachment Therapy and they're going to get on Google and try to research it. Some survivor is going to start struggling with their experiences and look for help, and they'll get on Google too. The above-linked blog should be the first link anyone sees when they search for Attachment Therapy.

Subject:Ten "H" Things I Love
Time:03:59 pm
(And by "H" I don't mean "ecchi" =P)
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterwards, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

[info]titti gave me the letter "H"

1. Harry/Draco. The fans, the fanfics, the fanarts <333
Since January 2005 ;-)

2. Half-blood Prince. The book that proves H/D is canon *g*

3. House, M.D. I love Hugh Laurie in any shape and form. House/Wilson, House/Chase, Foreman/Chase, Chase/Cameron...

4. Hatsuharu Souma from Furuba (Fruits Basket). *squees* I love how Haru went "Yuki is my first love." <333
And Black Haru is so awesome in his flirtatious lewdness X-D

5. Howl from Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle. I love him even before we know his real personality <3 The hair episode is just. so. much. love.

6. "House of Angels."* Am I allowed to love my own original fic this much? Dub-con teenage prostitution threesome. With a dash of het twincest and implied drug abuse. AHahahahahahhaa...

7. Haircut. Depending on who you ask, my new haircut makes me look like:
a. A Hongkong pop star
b. A Korean pretty boy
c. A well-known Chinese singer

8. Honey walnut prawn. It's not an authentic Chinese dish. You can only find it in this city. But it was love at first bite for me X-D

9. Ho Soon Yi. Cheapest great Korean restaurant around here. Plus there's Bubble tea and a Korean gift store right next door ;-)

10. Hung bao (New Year's money). More when getting and less when giving =P
Gave out 18 this year (lots of cousins GAH). I put $5 on top of two chocolate coins in golden wrappers & six assorted Japanese gummy fruit candies. Instant sugar rush and crash lol. Every single one of them gobbled everything at one sitting. From the 7-y.o.s to the 19-y.o.s. Heh.
Next year will give them 4 instead of 6 gummy candies each ^^;;

* That was also my first time ever scoring #1 @ [info]writing_game. Is it a sign? lolol
I'm currently writing 20 Things about Su Li over at [info]writing_game's fantabulous Valentine board ;-)
