A/N: Just a...thing I threw in together in respond to takarai_karin prompt while stressing in the middle of writing my international civil law paper. Obviously I was crazy. Title and few lines stolen from Plushgun's A Crush to Pass the Time, cause it was on loop in my player while writing this.

Humm... I dunno, I guess if I have to pick it on the spot, it would be The Zuton's Valerie? Valerie being 'my life in general' and I'm Dave McCabe here. Cause sometimes I feel like my life is one big improvisation; things thrown at me and I have to react. We're in a love/hate relationship here 'my life' and I XP  I think if someone made a movie of my life, it'd make a great comedy. One that wouldn't sell, being produced in low budget standard, and chock full with obscure references that makes the viewers have the justifiable urge to brain the maker for the lack of funny factor.
...Okay, fine, so it wouldn't be a great comedy. One can only hope.

Anywayy..., here have some lovely tunes with squishable lyrics:

The Zutons - Valerie

Ahahaha... ohhh seriously? No, no, reaaallyyy... Seriously?? *is drunk and therefore incoherent*

Oh, and also? Kelsen please don't be breaking my head, pleasee... Trying to make sense of your book feels like watching one of those magic shows in television, where you know you're just being tricked right under your nose but seriously have no idea how. And, Austin? Shaddap. Okay? You're wrong. No, no, no. You're wrong. Kelsen prove it (even though he ended up getting kind of lost himself). So stop making me chasing around my tail in circle, cause you so don't want to see me break down and cry.

...Okay. You probably want to, cause of what I've said to you. But, really, man you deserve it.

Right. I'll just... uhh go back to my fangirling corner. It's prettier there with all the bishies. *makes grabby hand*

So, after last Saturday finishing the written test, tomorrow will be the interview day for graduate school entrance. Excited? Duh. Nervous? Heh, this is me putting my attitude game face on, buuut... to answer that question, yeah, definitely nervous and as jittery as a severely caffeine addict on a painful withdrawal. (points to self)

On that note, how come nobody ever told me about this ridiculously adorable fact that both Jaejoong and Junsu used to wear girls jeans? XP And, whoa, JJ wore girls jeans size 24? That's... uhm, are you sure you're not actually a girl, boy? I mean, I don't think I know any girl within their age range who actually wears size 24... But hey to each his own. Also, Junsu's comment about how men's pants are a bit too baggy for him seriously cracks me up, considering the fact that he has the exact build as Brendon Urie, right to a certain particular body part. It reminds me of this interview where Brendon used the same reason to defend his wearing girls jeans fact by saying that he likes to wear jeans that fit and only girls jeans that fit him. Oh, fandommm... *g*

Um, this?

This is why you guys are fabulous, YooSu. At times like this I can almost forgive your Konglish-dandyboy-sekuhara persona, Yoochun. Ignore the naysayers, YooSu is REUL, people.

These kind of articles should be circulated more, cause people around the world are smart enough to see that it all boils down to war crime and human rights violation there. But that also shouldn't be used as an excuse to start hating on the Jewish people indiscriminately. The Zionist group in control of Israel does not represent the Jewish people as a whole. It's politics and many Jewish people are against the war as much as the non-Jewish people.

Rather than pointing fingers and speculating on who's to blame, it's better to try to pitch in what little we can give/do to help the Gazans.


International Jewish Groups Protest Gaza Violence

Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua

The real damage in Gaza: Israel believes it has struck a blow against Hamas, but the true casualty of this war is its own moral legitimacy

Juan Cole has asked that we post this article on all the blogs, so I am doing my small part here:


"ISRAEL has sought to justify its military attacks on Gaza by stating that it amounts to an act of "self-defence" as recognised by Article 51, United Nations Charter. We categorically reject this contention.

The rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas deplorable as they are, do not, in terms of scale and effect amount to an armed attack entitling Israel to rely on self-defence. Under international law self-defence is an act of last resort and is subject to the customary rules of proportionality and necessity.

The killing of almost 800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and more than 3,000 injuries, accompanied by the destruction of schools, mosques, houses, UN compounds and government buildings, which Israel has a responsibility to protect under the Fourth Geneva Convention, is not commensurate to the deaths caused by Hamas rocket fire.

For 18 months Israel had imposed an unlawful blockade on the coastal strip that brought Gazan society to the brink of collapse. In the three years after Israel's redeployment from Gaza, 11 Israelis were killed by rocket fire. And yet in 2005-8, according to the UN, the Israeli army killed about 1,250 Palestinians in Gaza, including 222 children. Throughout this time the Gaza Strip remained occupied territory under international law because Israel maintained effective control over it.

Congratulation to Barack Obama and family, all of the Democrats in and outside US, all of Obama's supporters in my flist, and lastly, congratulation  to all the citizens of US for making a history today.

I'm just in awe here (perhaps awe is still too simple of a word to explain what I feel right now, but I'm sure you get what I mean) still trying to get over myself after seeing his first official presidential speech. He's such a great orator and his speech makes it so just to feel patriotic and to believe all over again in the true spirit of democracy, regardless of who you are, where do you belong to, and what's your nationality.

I'm one of those people who couldn't participate actively and be a direct part of something as big as this, because of the fact that I'm not a US citizen, but I'm still overwhelmed, following closely, and be constantly moved by all the energy accumulated in my flist, the media, and those radiated by the people in my RL surrounding this long journey of an election and Obama's road to presidential chair. It is such a big history.

So, if I may, let me be a little of an egotist here and borrow a little of that sense of pride and overjoyed happiness belong to you all, American people, from your big victory on this day and celebrate along with all the rest of you :)

Once again, congrats to you all and congrats for the success, Mr. President Barack Obama.

I'm just de-lurking quickly to pimp out this fabulous fic written by takarai_karin  as a birthday gift for me. It's a Pikame fic from JE fandom and it's such a pretty pretty little thing in a glittery dress that packed a mean left hook, I promise you. Even if you're not familiar  enough with the pairing or the fandom, I think you could still enjoy the fic cause it's written so well. She has such way with words and ideas that would make you adore the  characters if not the story itself in its entirety by the time you reach the ending.  Now stop reading my pointless babbling and please go read her fic, then leave her an awesome reply cause she deserves it for writing such gorgeous piece. =)

I got tagged by takarai_karin , so here we go,

[These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn’t finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.]

I was cleaning up my harddisk last night and I found this file from my -by now- RIP blog. Read it and it was still able to make me smile. So, I decided to post it here. Ahh... well. *shrugs*

( There was just something that felt good about pushing your over-exerted muscles to their limits )

The wonderful-ness that is The Net. I kneel down before ye and offer ye my soul.

I'm in a brain-breakage mode for the last two/three days from all the wonderful download stuffs I came across lately. Which sort of presented me with double edges problem, you see. On one hand, I'm all blissful over the new squee-ing materials. On the other hand, well... I find myself landed with more rare OTPs than I could ever hope for. Dammit why do I have such strong fixation on rare pairings?? It doesn't do well for my sanity, I tell ya. I go crazy and all pulling my hair out when I couldn't feed these muses of mine. Sigh.

On another note, Fuji is ebiiil. So so. On a serious clash between Fuji and Mizuki I don't think I really want to know who's going to come out as the winner of that bloody car-crash confrontation. Admittedly, Fuji is stronger both in physical and slyness aspects, but I have a morbidly fascinating fondness for Mizuki I find myself always cheering him on. (it's the misunderstood alienated aura around him, I tell you. I seem to always pick my fave character in the most strangest way. Gah) Besides his 'nfufu'-ing is freakin' hillarious I can't help but flail myself all over him and his blinding purple sweater. :D Okay, I lied, I sort of betting my money on Fuji, cause I can't picture Mizuki topping him or anyone :P

Note to self: Need to find meself some more Yuumi. The bunny bites me again today.

Still in shock/grief/whatever over the World Cup's final result. ( Gosh, Zidane... -is speechless here- )

Now, something to lighten up the gloomy mood, shall we? Music Rec, yes oh yes, all capitalized it if you must. Here's a few songs by Orange Pekoe. They're this duo jazz band from Japan. And their music is beautiful and addicting. But of course, I'm a bit bias, so I'll just let you guys decide for yourself. I hope you could check it out if you got some free time on your hand. For me, my personal fave are 'Beautiful Thing' and 'Metro'. Oh, and kitsune_tsuki, I dunno if you would enjoy it as much as you do Stephanie Schneiderman's, but I hope it could still entertain you. ^^

Happy LJ anniversary to takarai_karin !!! ♥♥♥

Here's a lil ( something )

It's probably still too early on your world part, but it already is in here, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY kitsune_tsuki!!!

May you have a wonderful day and life, and blessed with joy and love from all the people around you who cares deeply for you.

Title: Unraveled

Rating: PG-13 for swearing words
Pairing: JxInoran (Luna Sea)
Disclaimer: Seriously not mine.
Summary: J is his usual reckless self. Inoran is being entirely too friendly with his self-repressed side.
A/N: Few days ago I remembered about this particular gig of J after he went solo (he wore a red shirt in it, if I'm not mistaken), when he climbed atop a gigantic speaker tower, in the middle of the concert. I didn't remember seeing him fallen down though. I just randomly thought I heard it somewhere that he did fell on another concert. Thus this fic.


Well then, enjoy ^^

I'm on a phase. Weird yaoi-writing phase. For some reason I don't know everytime I sit down and starting to type a fanfic in the end I always found out I couldn't really have the motivation to bring my characters to act and end up in a romantic light. The most I could do is making them appear all best friends like. That's just... weird of me. Cause I still read lots of yaoi fics and loving it. But, when it comes to the characters I write about...? Well... there's always this hesitancy to make them act (and thought) more than friends. Damn. Where the hell does my yaoi muse ran off to now?
