I'm sorry to have to do this but I am moving to Friends Only due to the recent changes implemented by LJ involving Facebook and Twitter. I will certainly never repost any of your comments to these insipid social media sites and I hope you will also respect my wishes and not repost any of my entries or posts anywhere else.

Also, I have not been into the Orlando fandom for several years so don't expect anything in this journal about him. It's not that I dislike him, I wish him well. But I'm just not into him anymore although I will always remain a fan of JRR Tolkien's work and Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy.

Anyway, I'm all about manga and anime now (and of course yaoi!). ^_^ If you still want to friend me (although I'm not sure you'll find me at all interesting!), comment. If we have similar interests, your journal isn't relatively new with no entries and you support equality, I'll most likely friend you back. :)

Thanks.

ETA: if you're already on my flist, don't worry, I'm not removing anyone!

Originally posted by darkspirited1 at SIGNAL BOOST: SAY YES TO GAY YA
This comes from an article by rachelmanija entitled, Say Yes to Gay YA.
(click the link for the full article)


Our novel Stranger has five viewpoint characters; one, Yuki Nakamura, is
gay and has a boyfriend. Yuki's romance, like the heterosexual ones in
the novel, involves nothing more explicit than kissing.

An agent from a major agency, one which represents a bestselling YA novel in the same genre as ours, called us.

The agent offered to sign us on the condition that we make the gay
character straight, or else remove his viewpoint and all references to
his sexual orientation.


This isn't about that specific agent; we'd gotten other rewrite requests before this one. Previous agents had also offered to take a second look if we did rewrites… including cutting the viewpoint of Yuki, the gay character.


It's time to stand up and demand change. Spread the word everywhere if you are just as angry and outraged by this.

OMFG! This is so funny. I loved "Fight Club" and I LOVE Jane Austen.

Do you ever have those days where you just don't feel like doing ANYTHING? I look at my kitchen and UGH! Then there are all those piles of unopened junk mail. Not to mention bills that I have to shred (I pay everything online). And the recycling! It needs to go out. Compost too! It's like I'm being buried by the minutiae of life.

On the bright side, I got a shiny new iPhone4 last week and I'm finally hooking up with serein_03 for dinner tonight!

My daughter showed me this video. The artist that made it, Pogo, wrote "Video for my track 'Upular', composed using chords, bass notes and vocal samples from the Disney Pixar film 'Up'." Pixar even put it up on their youtube page. This is just amazing.

The first time I saw this commercial for Old Spice on TV I couldn't stop laughing.

My old desktop which I built myself over 4 years ago wouldn't connect to the internet on Thursday. At first I thought it was the router, so I just connected directly with the modem...nothing. Then I tried it with my laptop and it worked. Hmmm. It was like my desktop wouldn't let the modem acquire an IP address no matter what I tried.

So naturally I ran out and bought another desktop. :P Got it on sale and bundled with a huge 23" wide screen monitor. I'm not used to such a large screen and such a quiet desktop but I can deal (what a chore!) ;). My old machine sounded like a jet engine taking off.

Now I've got to install all my software and move my files and stuff. Amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 4 years. o_O
