First of all, HELLO EVERYOOONE!!!
(Very sorry for the lenghty post that follows, I forgot how to properly use a LJ cut. Would someone out there be willing to tell me how this thing works please?)

Haven't posted something in, like, forever and I feel like an idiot for not doing so. But life is life and what's done's done, so, not much can be made back. Buut, things can be made forward, and I intend to get plenty of that in this baby postishy entry cuz I have two things to ask my ~~(very possibly phantomized and gone forever)~~ LJ friends & tag-alongs:

1. How do you guys like How To Train Your Dragons 2? Yes people, there's an actual sequel running up a bang in the theaters right now and it looks like it's gonna steal the spotlight for the whole summer - every goddamn day of it, and that's just awesome because it's THE big movie of the year (in my humble opinion of course). And you know what's the best news about this? It's nothing like its precedessor (more awesome, more scorching, more badass and more epic, in every sense of the words) and there's a promise for a third movie to get out in 2016! How To Train Your Dragon ain't gonna be a single movie, it's gonna be a fuckin' triology! HELL YEAH!!! I know some HTTYD fans who are gonna make one hell of a buzz over this - and who knows, the HTTYD fandom might produce enough stories to trample Rise of the Guardians. The Competition promises to be fierce in the months to come!

2. - Have you guys heard of the rumors circling the net for the last year or so? It's on the mouth of many fans and making a steady climb on Deviantart and Youtube, not to mention being whispered fervently between friends and close relatives on social networks (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong on that last one). It's being shown up everywhere, pages are being made for them and I even found a petition running up to make it a reality. Guessed yet? No? Then let me throw you one last clue: They're called The Big Four. Four important, well-liked characters the fans all want to throw into one big kick-ass crossover in a movie made by the two biggest bad ass 3D film makers of the century (once again in my own humble opinion): Dreamworks and Disney. You'll know what I'm talking about if you type Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons on the DA search bar - it'll show you pictures of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians, Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon (ain't that familiar?), Merrida from Brave and Rapunzel from Tangled.

Why are they called The Big Four? Well as I said, Hiccup and Toothless gained a world-wide shower of appraise nand appreciation, which Merrida and Rapunzel proudly rode a few years later. Now add Jack Frost to the mix when Christmas rolled around two years ago, and you got over-excited fans who all want to see their favorite characters assembled together in one movie. Many are sending idea letters to both moviemakers, others are making doujins and cartoon stories out of this and one even started a petition to make this fan-made stuff a reality. What they all want? Have Dreamworks and Disney band together to make a movie crossover that'll feature Jack, Hiccup, Merrida and Rapunzel all together against one big villain (or four, why not take out the big guns while we're at it?).

Honestly, I sure damn hope this'll happen because this baby promises to be big. If it doesn't I'll keep pressing on until it comes true. And when it does, it'll make a boom through the theaters so big it'll leave the paparrazi with the severe impression a nuclear bomb had gone off through the web - because everyone will be talking about this. They already do. Do you?

For those of you who'd like to know just how much this movie promises to be something, just check the clip below (and remember to thank the dude who made this awesome piece of work):

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/262/958/161/petition-for-the-big-fourrise-of-the-brave-tangled-dragons/

And for those who want to chat about this juicy piece of gossip, you can comment in my entry as much as you want. Just keep in mind that any dude who disrespects others will be deleted from this entry-made chatroom.

With that, have fun buzzing around girls!!

Three things new about me:

I fell in love with the Eyeshield 21 fandom, hard. Man I love that demonic quarterback, the stoic kicker, that fast running back and that motherly manager <3 Does anyone like that manga?

I fell in love with American Football, thanks to Eyeshield. I only wish I could watch some matches on my TV, but that's impossible due to lack of the the right TV cable.

My search for new music led me to the Backstreet Boys. As a little girl I wasn't much impressed by their music, but 20 years later I now understand why the planet fell for that boysband. They have quite amazing songs, those guys.

My personal favorites are these:

I Want It That Way
Everyone
Masquerade
No One Else Comes Close
I Still...
Everything But Mine
Drowning

I haven't had time to listen to all their songs, but those are the ones which I find myself coming back to, especially Masquerade. That song gave me a new respect for the word 'courtship'...

There's a cat in my garden...

pywen — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:20:29 GMT

It's a young male with a collar that's missing its medal, no older than a year and a half. He's caramel orange with white stripes and has captivating golden eyes and a meowing voice that's got such a pleading tone it's impossible for me to leave it at the mercy of the elements... and my heartless neighbors. He's been operated on the front paws and seems also castrated, though I'm not sure for the last part.

He looks and behaves like a lost kitten, seeking protection and shelter by meowing at my doorstep and pawing at the door as if asking to be let in so he can take a breather from the wild and sleep in a safe place. It's obvious he's domesticated, for he does not shy from human contact - he actually tries to get some from us all, with mixed results ranging from a rare petting of the back to a cold dousing from the hose, courtesy of the owner of the apartment.

It's the second cat in less than a week that has pawed at my doorstep, looking for shelter. Although I wouldn't mind at all to let him in and take care of him until I find his rightful owner, circumstances at home leave me unable to provide him the shelter he seeks so desperately. Thus the poor kit ended up sleeping outside, with little to protect him from the storms that are currently hitting my country. Seeing him search for a dry place broke my heart, because we're in the middle of a city and there are no openings in the walls for him for him to shift into a potential hideout. The only thing I can give him is food and water so he can toughen out the heat of the summer. I tried building him a makeshift little shed, but gave up that action when the owner glared daggers at me.

I can only think that his owner either lost him, or abandoned him. If it's the former, the only thing I can do is knock from door to door on my street and ask the same question: "Does this cat belong to you?". I don't have high hopes it will work, though I can still try. Posting an ad on Internet as well as in the neighborhood on paper would be great, if only my camera wasn't broken.

If it's the latter case, I don't know what to do. I don't have the money to get the kit into an adoption center. Leaving him to fend for himself would be cruel since he lacks the knowledge of how to survive in the wilds, and adopting him myself is an impossibility at the moment. No one I know is interested in taking care of a cat, since they either already have one or don't want any. Time is ticking by, because the neighbors are getting tired of hearing him meow for shelter. I fear they will chase him out of the cemented garden or worse, kill him. The apartment's owner is getting restless, for his daughter is asthmatic and the kit is proving a danger to her health.

In a situation like this, what should I do?

Question for friends

pywen — Sat, 25 May 2013 16:24:32 GMT

Because I'm really curious about the answers:

Has anyone in my f-list watched Yu-Gi-Oh! when they were kids? If so, what's their favourite character and favourite monster card?

Mine are Yami Yugi and Celtic Guardian. I like the former because he shows a surprising amount of maturity for someone of his age, which is a rarity among young men. And I love the second one because I've always liked elves, and he's the reason why I got attracted to Yu-Gi-Oh! when I saw him battle another monster on TV while switching channels out of boredom. For all of the warrior vibes he emits, I also find him irresistibly cute, and can't help but want to hug him all day.

What about you guys? :)

Killer whales trapped in ice: please help them get free before they die!

pywen — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:05:50 GMT

There is a pod of 12 killer whales stuck in Canadian sea ice, in Inukjack. They can't move to open sea without drowning on the way due to frozen ice covering all the water, and the small hole they're desperately fighting to breath through is closing in on them by the hour!

Please help put pressure on the government so his ice-breaker gets the green light to crack a water path from the orca's hole to the open sea!

Sports

pywen — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:16:02 GMT

After reading Eyeshield 21, I couldn't deny my attraction to American Football. The Devilish Quarterback made sure to have each match leave me hanging at the edge of my seat with breathless anticipation, and I feel as if I were sitting at a stadium and roaring with the crowd when the final touchdown was scored in the most inimaginable way possible (that's saying alot since I only read the manga). Hiruma Yoichi literally turned my world upside-down with his masterful trick plays that spiced up each of his games.

And after watching this video, I know I definitely got hooked to the most violent yet thrilling sport to ever grace the earth. Hiruma lit the flame of passion inside my sleeping self, and the american football games I ended up catching on tv only fanned the fire.

God bless my soul, I fell in love with American Football.

And the only thing I can say to that is thank you, Hiruma.

How shipping can cause headaches by the dozen

pywen — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:14:56 GMT

Boy, do I sometimes regret being the only one in the entire family to know how to speak english.

Seriously, I never thought my mom would one day require my services to place orders for shipment in the United States. From Quebec.

Making international calls has never been my forte. Making international calls in English while I'm used only to French makes it even harder. Especially when the girl at the other end of the line does not understand what I'm saying and is asking me to repeat. Goddamned accents.

At least I dropped German and Spanish. That keeps mom from making orders overseas in Germany and down south in Mexico. The last thing I want to happen to me is to stumble on a bored receptionist who'll flirt with me over the phone just to listen to my voice. And Japanese... Gosh, I don't even wanna think about how much that would be embarrassing.

Okay, time's up for the U.S. girl who asked me to wait 10 mins. I've got only 45 mins left, mom is pestering me over this and I'm frigging hungry, so stalling or no stalling imma gonna get that shipment up and ready to go and get this over with.

***edit***

*is banging her head against the keyboard* freaking goddammit!

I just spent half an hour over the phone with the same girl, giving her the list of our products and telling her our adress, state, country, zip code and etc, only to find out the VISA number is deactivated once the call is up.

What the fuck gramps, are you with or against us? We need all the help we can get and your card sure isn't helping right now. I earned mom a friggin' huge bill with this problem!

(given that he's old, I won't be too mad at him for such a mistake since he's prone to have frequent memory blanks, but still, could I have known that before making that call?!)

At least I get to eat.... though I still have that order to make.... *sigh*

this is gonna be a long night...

When life turns upside-down...

pywen — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:58:16 GMT

I totally did not expect this. Ever. It didn't even cross my mind for a single second that I would go through this, such improbable I thought it was. My gramps wasn't expecting it; my mom wasn't expecting it; my dad wasn't expecting it; heck, even my friggin' cats weren't expecting it.

What the hell should I do, I who knows almost nothing of the system and has barely entered into society, when a letter from the Supreme Court told me that I was summoned as a jury candidate for a criminal process I don't even know of??? I'm only 20 and already the system of Justice is knocking at my door! @x@

Archive of Our Own (Ao3)

pywen — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:07:25 GMT

Remember the massive fanfiction deletition that everyone talked about a few months back, guys? I was one of the last few who managed to escape into Ao3 and create an account there before the site froze, overloaded by thousands of scared writers all trying to save their fanfics from death at the same time.

When I got there, I wrote to Ao3 for invitations to give to allow more people to come and make an account there to save their fics and post in a more peaceful place. I have 7 of them right now, some of which I can give you guys.

First come first serve, so whoever is interested in getting an account please send me a Pm with their e-mails! Good luck!

Of all the things that made my day a living hell, my Curriculum Vitae (otherwise known as CV) tops it.

Who knew it'd be an easy pair of hands to update the damn thing when it's struck on lonely lecture mode? It absoluetely refuses to be modified, be it in Microsoft Words, Internet, Google, Power Point, Paint and whatever else I know that could help me get this shit up and rolling for my job. Seriously, is this a prank or something? *glares at unafraid papersheets*

And Hiruma's cursing is rubbing off on me. yaay.

Help Save the Antarctic Ocean

pywen — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 21:07:19 GMT

My mom mailed me a about a petition going on around the net asking for help concerning the antarctic ocean. Long story short, the environment over there can be shifted into one behemoth marina park, saving thousands of species from extinction. But there are some states that plan on putting a stop to this, so Leonardo DiCaprio of all people has stepped in and sent out a worldwide call for help to us citizens. I voted because I really love whales and the species I cherish the most are living around that big block of ice, but my vote isn't enough to make things work so anyone who'd like to help get the marina park opened and save quite a few thousands of species from dying, please don't hesitate to vote!

The Quebecan Spring (still in progress)

pywen — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 00:22:09 GMT

I saw a video on the internet which covers our rallies against Jean Charest and the raise of student fees/Law 78. For those who have yet to know the details, let's just say that the bastard provoked the student populace and kept enraging it until we broke into an almost civil war against the police force and government. The fight started on February 22, 2012 and is still in progress even now, 6 months later. It grew from the students and people with various jobs, ethics, age and goals joined in, until the whole world turned around to look at Quebec.

Now, we have a video which gives a summary of what's going on in my country, what we're fighting for and are trying to save, and what Jean Charest is keeping us from with his police puppets and dogs with arrogant disdain clear on his face.

http://www.quebecprotest.com/post/29108348588/the-quebec-spring-when-the-people-awaken-mario-jean

Please click the link to watch the video. Everyone must know what's going on, no matter where they are living in the world. Alone we can't do anything, but together everything is possible.

The elections for a new leader Quebec are gonna happen this September 4, 2012. I'm gonna go vote.

Whatever happens, Charest is going down.

One strange thing?

pywen — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:47:10 GMT

I noticed something odd while following MangaHelpers for the much awaited release of DGM chapter 215... And thus call out to my F-list to help me get the hang of this puzzle.

Tyki Mikk, the Noah of Pleasure, has the power to pass through things by either accepting or rejecting them. Therefore he can phase through his clothes, walk through walls and even gut a man without leaving external traces.

Sheryl Camelot, the Noah of Desire, can manipulate things to his liking with his strings. Therefore he is a pampered prince that's addicted to control and hates being contradicted (as far as I'm aware of).

But as I look at this page, I see that Sheryl can pass through walls. I know the Earl's Ark is not in cause of this since I would see a gate and it isn't the case for the Noah, so how can he do that if does not possess the same power as Tyki? Did I miss something, or did he somehow inherit his blood brother's phasing powers?

I can't believe I haven't seen this before XD

Fuck.

pywen — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 01:40:32 GMT

I've got a bad feeling about DGM... July first already passed by and no spoilers came out for the newest chapter. Shit, I hope I'm guessing wrong when I feel that there won't be an update this month.

This is serious.

pywen — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 04:27:38 GMT

Critics United have made a mass list of what stories must be deleted on ffnt. Although most of the stories are repeatedly listed, I find this to be quite alarming for the concerned authors and fans.

http://www.fanfiction.net/topic/78623/31298368/1/

From what I gathered, the Justin Bieber, Pokemon and Naruto fandoms are being browsed through for a weekly clean-up duty that happens every Monday. They're losing more and more stories each week.

Are there any other fandoms that are losing fics at a fast rate apart those I mentioned? Something needs to be done and fast, otherwise ffnt will be empty in a few months, a few years at the most.

News Report of Quebec, part deux

pywen — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:35:29 GMT

It's still the same thing. Charest keeps enraging the student populace. The elections have started and the FECQ's president, Leo Bureau-Blouin (the most docile of the three heads) left his place to another student, a girl whose name I don't remember yet.

Mediation has been demanded, but the government still hasn't given its decision over it. The rallies keep happening, and the police force is getting more and more brutal.

A new law was passed yesterday, and it had 150 or so students screaming bloody murder and yelling slogans all over the mayor's hotel, in which a fight erupted between said mayor and a protestant.

June 22 is coming around, and the whole world's eyes are turned upon that date because it will celebrate 4 months of protestation in a row. The rallies started on February 22, and each month a gigantic manifestation assembling every student in the conflict takes place (200,000 people in March, 300,000 in April & an estimated 400,000 in May). The first three months were done only in Montreal, but this month it will also be done in Quebec city - two behemoth rallies on the same day. The one in Quebec has already 6,000 people signed in, last I heard. I'll be sure to partake in the one happening in Quebec. Hopefully this month's assembly will knock some sense into Charest and get him back on the right track... though I honestly doubt that he will redeem himself.

Goddammit

Be it Youtube, MySpace, Veoh, Dailymotion, Gogoanime or any other video site I`m aware of, I am unable to find the episodes of the BBC Sherock Holmes series. *pulls hair in frustration*

Is there anyone out there who has any idea where and how to get access to the episodes, free of fees and membership? I'm at a lost where to search for these jewels... Thanks!

FUCK YES

pywen — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 03:42:51 GMT

To all the people on my f-list,

I just found a diamond amongst the DGM fanfics. Literally, a shining diamond which has been published very recently, and should be read by every fangirl and fanboy that loves D.Gray-Man.... and Sherlock Holmes Doyle/ BBC.

Yes, this story is a crossover, but it was done by a pure genius. Featuring Lavi as Sherlock, Kanda as Watson, Bookman as the landlord, Komui as Lestrade and Lenalee as Molly, this awesome two-shots has blown the ceilings of imagination to the point where the reviewers are left speechless and awed beyond words. It's a crazy mix of personalities, mystery, wits and crime. This is pure gold, and gods everyone should read this and ask questions later.

Click right here and let your mind be blown by the awesomeness of this unique masterpiece!

*jumping around like crazy*

Question

pywen — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:55:02 GMT

Does anyone in my f-list have an account on Archives of Our Own (Ao3)? I've been searching for familiar names and have seen no one there yet, though I may have missed some people. Have any of you guys gotten an account there?

Important call to everyone on my f-list

There is a petition going around the web to stop the destruction of fanfiction.net following the mass-deletition of MA stories and account linked with them.

pywen — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:43:52 GMT

Am I the only one who's been hearing that fanfiction.net has been deleting MA fanfics en-mass lately? It seems the people I've been talking to have moved to Archives of Our Own or DeviantArt to post their works. Just what is going on here?

I love my country so much right now.

pywen — Wed, 23 May 2012 02:52:24 GMT

Today has been marked as the 100th day of protest by students who are against the increase of school fees, and they celebrated it by doing a gigantic rally that gathered more than 250,000 people in Montreal.

They also protested against Prime Minister Jean Charest's new special law, Law 78, which pretty much restrains freedom of expression in Quebec.

Here are the people who I know got involved in this rally:

The CLASSE (~100,000 students - numbers increasing each day)
The FECQ (-/+ 50,000 students - numbers increasing each day)
The FEUQ (-/+ 50,000 students - numbers increasing each day)
The Black Block (~200 people)
The Rabbit Crew
Anonymous (numbers unknown)
The Social Alliance (which contains pretty much all the teachers, families (from babies to grannies), citizens, sympathizers, tourists and other non-student organizations that are also against law 78 and the increase of school fees).

Some images of the rally: http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/infos/regional/montreal/archives/2012/05/20120522-135936.html

The CLASSE took the lead of the rally and formed a Red Square in the center of Montreal without obeying to Law 78, which orders to give an itinerary to the police force at least 8 hours before the event takes place. The Black Block followed its footsteps, soon joined by the FEUQ, the FECQ and the rest of the protestants. The city's streets became blocked to the fullest and car circulation was literally paralyzed for over an hour, inside as much as outside The Red Square (symbol of the student protestants for those who don't know). After that, it was back to the starting point and the rally pretty much followed its itinerary. I heard that there were three rallies in total, all done at the same time and close to each other. Due to the sheer number of manifesting people, the police force could not interfere or arrest them all and had to stay glued to the sidelines lest they get swept along for the ride. They did interfere on the smaller rallies though, but I don't know the details of those ones so I can't say anything about them.

I heard on the news that Paris and New York also made rallies of their own to support Quebec in its battle for gratuity and freedom of speech.

Seriously, I love my country so much right now. We may be lazy asses 99% of the time when compared to the rest of the world, but the 1% we aren't, we get friggin' dangerous. Things get insane, crazy, uncontrollable and everything is shaken to its core until the object of our fury is either destroyed, brought down or concedes defeat. You don't mess with us without being bitten back man.

LONG LIVE THE STUDENT REBELLION! *cheers all night long*

To all Lucky shippers as well as DGM people still out there

pywen — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:57:31 GMT

Thanks to a friend of mine on ffnt, I was directed to the very interesting fanfic Interview with the Noah by Beautymoon. I strongly suggest you guys read it and follow it - first to fill up your cravings about seeing some serious Lavi action, second because it explores the possible events that are happening in the Noah household with the Bookmen prisoners while Hoshino is showing us the 14th mayhem in her manga.

I haven't come across a fic this good in a year. It's worth a read-through. *goes back to read it*
