The wonderfully creepy photography by Joshua Hoffine: website / blog

Damn. I think I'm in love.

My bb Stephen King in a new interview with USAWeekend:

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. ... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."

...and to make it even better, someone in the comments is suggesting that...that...that uncle Stephen is...ahahahaha...omg...is jealous of Smeyer's success. Stephen Fucking King. Jealous. Of Smeyer's success.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha omg brb dying.



I love you Stephen. I love you.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You know, maybe the passing of Proposition 8 is a good thing. Maybe people were just too complacent before. Maybe this is just a really fucking good wake up call.

( From Saturday, November 15th 2008 - say NO to H8 )

Also, the subject of my last entry got me all melancholy, so I went fishing for my favorite old boyband songs/videos on youtube...and now present you with THE BOYBAND LOVE POST OF DOOM. Come on, you know you want to. ( Embrace the cheese! )

Anyway, the Best Ever Boyband Video Award goes to *drumroll*...if this one isn't totally obvious then paint my ass green and call me Dr Avocado & Mr Lime.

And the Best Ever Boyband Song? This one wins, because it's just a great song, period. I suspect that's got something to do with the fact that as boyband members go, Tony Mortimer actually possessed some real song writing talent.
Do you remember the time when you were mine
Brighten up my day like a star would shine
We had no money, honey, but we didn't care
We had something special
Like no other lover could compare
We had dreams and desires, aspirations entire
When we made love you'd hear the angels in choir
Was a love of lifetime precious like a goldmine
But you had to go - where, I don't know
And now I spend my night time sleeping alone
In bed by the phone
So why don't you call me
So why don't you call me
Tell me...
The music plus his voice, the way he sings/raps it...somehow, the lyrics lose the cheesiness and actually become quite charming. He makes it work. Even today, I still adore this song. Not for the "ahh, good ol' times" factor, but for the song itself.

Mmmmm *sniffs* Bought the American Cream conditioner at Lush yesterday, and my hair still smells all nice and sweet although I washed it last night. Wonderful (they called me Wonderful, so I said "wonderful" if you insist!) *runs away singing*

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier



...two of their guys had a stall at the Fall Out Boy gig at Wembley on wednesday. They let us watch the video on their iPod, and we ended up buying a DVD, I kind of geeked out a bit (if you can call it that) and told them about Ishmael Beah's book, and...yeah. I like being reminded that all my favorite bands are the good guys who give a shit about something else than themselves.

Somehow, even after a bath, I still have a tiny reminder of the lyrics Ellie wrote on my arm (hey! I'm not gonna be sentimental, because I'll see you soon...♥). And I didn't even realize how much I needed the dancing / moshing / singing&screaming your lungs&heart&voice out until it was actually happening.

And I'm still kind of shocked that the nine of us managed to stay together throughout the madness and no one lost anyone. That is some achievement right there.

Rant 1: So. A person who's been on my flist for...more than three years suddenly de-friends me, with no explanation whatsoever, and when I ask what happened, I'm being ignored. Wow. It's called "manners" or "basic human decency". Learn some.

Rant 2: Yesterday at the VMA's (HOW HOT WAS BRIT BRIT? SERIOUSLY.), Russell Brand made a joke about promise rings, and Miss Jordin Holier-than-thou Sparks didn't like it. Direct quote: "I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut."
...
O RLY???
So you're either an innocent, pure virgin saving herself for marriage, or you're a slut. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Jordin.
Cunt.
And seriously, what the fuck is it with this trend lately? Everywhere I look there's some stupid little Disney or Whatever star yapping about purity rings and saving themselves and it's the right thing to do and I'm a good role model and I'm pure and innocent and blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.
You know, for someone who hasn't actually got a sex life, you do go on about it a whole fucking lot.

Rant 3: This one's not mine, but is one of the most awesome and spot on things I've ever heard anyone say on the subject - rape.
IT'S NOT "FEMINISM" IT'S COMMON FUCKING SENSE.
This. This and the "dessert analogy" is something that every single human (especially the male half of the population) on this planet should read.

America (and World), there's always hope.
Especially if Jon Stewart's around.

Everytime one of those pops up I lose a testicle.

This man. Owns my soul.

HILARIOUS QUOTE OF THE...WELL, EVER.

George W Bush on the Russia-Georgia conflict:
"Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st Century"

HA
HAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You go, Bushy. You tell them. You tell them how to do it the right way.

Oh God. Maybe one day, this cunt will be hanged just like Saddam was. Well, probably not, but you know. A girl can dream.

Well did you hear, there's a natural order?
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say...shit floats

If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words:

Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas.
That's the word, don't you know?
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls:

Oh, cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Ah, yeah!

Oh, feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory, I respect your right to exist
I will kill you if you move in next to me
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third,

Oh, so cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

The free market is perfectly natural
Or do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
Fuck the morals - does it make any money?
And if you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street
Yeah, use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard

No, not whilst cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world...

(Jarvis Cocker - Cunts Are Still Running The World)
Indeed.

Well...believe the hype.

Holy fucking shit.

What a way to go.

Oh, how I love this picture. Absolutely fucking adore it.

In other news, Vogue Paris gives PETA the finger.
Wow.
I mean...wow. I've seen some seriously stupid shit in my life, but this must definitely be one of the highlights. Even as an animal rights supporter I don't like PETA, but what the flying fuck does that have to do with anything? All the people in the ONTD post going "I hate PETA so yay for this, lol"...as someone asked, seriously, are you braindead?
Yeah, that photoshoot is so ~fierce~ and ~controversial~, and, you know, ~cool~.
Hey, Vogue (and all of you fur lovers), why don't you have a look at this? Why don't you make a photoshoot out of that? Why don't you take fashionable photos of your models standing next to that bloody pulp that was a scared animal few minutes ago? You know, that bloody thing lying there without its skin, still breathing? As in, still alive? Cos THAT would be controversial. That would be really fucking fierce. So why don't you do that?

This is one of the things that make me hate humans.

Yaaaaay, look at us right here on top of the food chain!
Look at us killing and causing unbearable pain in the name of vanity!
Look at us NOT GIVING A SHIT!
Go us!

No words in the universe can describe how fucking sick you make me. I hope someone comes and skins all of you selfish fucks alive.

So.
Things happened. Or just one thing. The kind of bad thing that I can get through and I think I can already see this really good thing coming out of it. But anyway. I realized a few things, one of which being that LJ has been annoying me for quite some time now, and I've been posting just to...post something, and just...ugh. This is a good moment to...start again. Or some crap like that. But anyway, I cut a few people (even some new ones, and I'm sorry), and only left those who've been with me for a long time, who I still talk to often, and the people who mean a lot to me, be it on LJ or in real life. This is gonna be a mostly Friends Only thing from now on. A place to help me stay in touch with the few people I don't want to lose contact with.

That is all. I hope you're having a nice day, and sorry if I offended anyone.
