I like to read this site, Astrology Zone, and Susan Miller (the writer) has pretty good horoscopes written up for free. And July’s horoscope is up already!

Your office life will be the topic of the full moon, July 25, for it looks like you will be wrapping up an important assignment. This full moon just brims with good energy. Jupiter will reach out to that moon, and on the next day, July 26, to the Sun, indicating you will impress the powers at the very top. Saturn will be supportive, as will Uranus and Mars – now that’s a LOT of planetary support!

Here’s how to use this new moon. If you like, you can pitch new business if you are self-employed or make a major presentation. If you hand in a finished project within five days of this date, you will be very proud of what you did.

That’s one of the main points for my horoscope this month… All I can think of is like, “Haaaayyyyy isn’t that like the end of HYPE and npTribune?!” LOL. I dunno. I sure as hell hope I will be very proud of HYPE and npTribune at the end of it all!

Guh. Just 4 more days till colourproofing. D:

I want to scratch my eyes out.

So, anyway. Just to torture you too, here’s the video “Safe Sex with Ris Low”. The one I suffered. And the one you shall suffer too because it’s like a trainwreck. /O\ Horrible, but you can’t help watching it. So there you go. Scratch your eyes out too. Suuuuuuuffer, bitches. Muahahahahahahaha.

PS: WTF she talked about warm jelly. WTFWTFWTF.
PPSS: The condom flew off and she went, “Oops!” -.-
PPPSSS: *goes back to banging her head on the desk*

Sometimes.

You know, when you occasionally get funny comments on your statuses (while your ego goes: OMG OMG people are reading my statuses! So… so… *hyperventilates* that must mean that I am popular!)

I have to say, from what I’ve read so far, the idea doesn’t seem so far-fetched when you look at it with as an expert on the subject. If something comes up and matches something you know about, I guess you’d link the ideas together. Well, what scant knowledge I have about the subject did seem to fit what the author had been writing about.

It does boggle the mind, though, and it really makes you wonder if ideas like mind-controlled slaves and governments being controlled by a group is that far-fetched and impossible.

And then my mind started wandering off into worlds of its own about conspiracy plots and the fight to control human beings and turn them into robots and ideas about being inserted with electronic chips that can track us down and contains our entire history and… well, etc.

The urge to write and create a world of heroes and heroines fighting to save the human race from a board of evil, megalomaniac dictators. I can see the plot going like this:

Heroine is living life peacefully when an unknown stranger (Hero) bursts into her life through some sort of event. Maybe she’s an innocent bystander who is nearly caught in the crossfire between the Hero and the Evil Minions. Insert various plot elements, but they trust each other at the end, and the Heroine is enlightened about the evil doings of the Evil Dictators and how widespread the brainwashing is. Heroine learns there is a Rebel Force fighting the ED and after a battle, decides that doing her part to save the human race is what she wants to do.  Part 1 ends with hope about overthrowing dictatorship.

Part 2 has Hero and Heroine developing a deeper relationship, but neither wanting to do anything about it. Throw in a sub-character Female Hanger-on who is attracted to Hero, and the Rebel Committee Board who plan recons and stuff. I don’t know how to continue from here on, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out if I decide to write a story like this.

Should be fun. I mean, it seems pretty action packed and wars are fun to read about. Sort of. Like, medieval wars in fantasy lands kinda. I’m totally not into modern warfare. They make me cry, though, sometimes.

I’m currently quite addicted to another of TH’s song called “Attention”. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I suppose this song is literally about the attention that Tokio Hotel gets as a famous, successful band. I feel it reinforces my theory especially with the line, “I choose to be lonely than live without your attention” – meaning that they’d rather choose to be lonely (remember World Behind My Wall?) with the attention, rather than be not lonely but without the fame and attention.

I remember what Bill’s said before in an interview; that they’re addicted to the success and the fame and that it drives them on to be more famous, to be more successful. I distinctly remember this phrase, “It’s like a drug.” Sounds pretty ominous to me, and I’m quite sure I’ll freak out if I see Bill start doing A-OK hand signs or photoshoots that cover his left eye. -.-

I love the beginning of the song, though! It’s really addictive. I like the bass, and the guitar, and how the drums come into playing in the song. It’s definitely different from their Humanoid songs, and has more of a mixture of a Schrei/Zimmer 483 sound that’s matured. Add on the fact that you have a rather deep voiced Bill at some parts of the song…. and you get a melted puddle of rainin9. Heh.

It’s not what you said
It’s the way you say it
It’s not what you did
It’s the way you do it
Sick and tired of needing your attention
I chose to be lonely than live without your
Attention

Your Personality Style Preview:
An extremely outgoing and social person, Gerry tends to make friends easily and likes to have fun with others. She wants to make commitments even if she may be unable to keep them; but that is because of her desire to please, not because of any intent to deceive. Gerry tends to be very spontaneous, easily becoming bored with routine tasks.

Recognizing the value of a good relationship, Gerry is very patient and caring when relating to others. She is even-paced; and Gerry usually remains calm and relaxed, even in situations that may ruffle some others. She likes the role of a peacemaker, when working through problems, Gerry tries to rely on successful strategies that have proven results.

Gerry will usually test ideas against proven standards in an effort to be inventive; and can be very creative as she identifies new solutions to problems. She is an original and creative thinker, but acts in a rational way to make sure desired results are achieved in an orderly manner; although she is not afraid to “break the mold” if that appears to be the key to a solution.

Gerry would prefer things stay the same, rather than to risk a new venture (unless it is proven and true). She is typically peaceful and low key, and is usually seen by those around her as a good friend and listener. She tends to adopt a “wait and see” attitude about things, rather than taking charge of a situation, usually preferring to let others take the lead.

Heh. Doesn’t it just look like a monster of some sort? Just too many teeth or something?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but where is the bird’s nest? Where is that horribly shaggy mane of hair that has purportedly never seen a comb in its entire life on my our beloved Harry’s head? (And our dear Harry really really needs to get a fashion sense! Though, it’s understandable why his clothes look kinda dodgy – he doesn’t yet have Draco to do his shopping for him.) Just-shagged hair aside, the poster gives me a feel of ‘trying a little too hard’. I’d watch it, since I’m already a hardcore HP fan, but the selling of the movie is too ‘in your face’ kinda. What’s the point of the slanted credits? It just looks odd. Sort of like it’s trying to make sure it’s so visually attractive you can’t miss it. That’s just me, though.

And finally, my devious sneaky cunning under-handed evil plotting favourite Slytherin: Draco Malfoy!

I love the hair style they’ve given him. *gushes* Tom Felton looks great in this so-Draco’s-style of clothes. Oh, and did I mention that I really really want to see the part where he’s crying in the bathroom? And the fight that happens afterwards? It’s so full of UST! (>U<)

Okay. I’d better stop here before I start rambling about my HD love. Ciao!

RT @levarburton Congrats to my friends Gerard and Lindsey who are first time parents as of 2:57pm PST. Welcome Bandit Lee Way…! You are such a Blessing!!

BUT! In any case, welcome Bandit Lee Way!

BTW, it’s a girl, apparently. Couldn’t tell from the name.

There was a time about 2 months ago or so when I was interviewed on the streets about PDA (and which I thought they were referring to Personal Digital Assistant but really they meant Public Displays of Affection)… and I sort of found the site where the vodcast was uploaded.

Due to some sort of masochistic streak I have in me that delights (extremely) in embarrassing myself, here is the >>link<< to the video. (click on the camera icon) Please do click on it so that I can blush and then whine about how perfectly idiotic I seemed in the video with an earphone hanging out of one ear while speaking half-English and half-Chinese. In fact, you can even laugh at me!

Or not. Just kidding. At some point my masochism stopped, only to be replaced by a perfectly sarcastic attitude.

Okay. Moving on to the next topic, I have undertaken the task of cataloguing the entire folder of bookmarks of stories that I like very much. It’s going to be an insane task, but I get a perverse satisfaction from putting myself through ‘hard work’ and nitpicking at the list and pages until they look absolutely delectable. I love lists. It’s a new delight in my daily diet of ‘let’s do something incredibly tough just for the heck of it’. Oh, and you can check it out >>here<<. It’s my old blog and pretty bare at moment ’cause I deleted all of the old posts. Did I mention that I love Bulk Delete?

And the way I’m talking, I sound like I’m addicted to adverbs. If I curse there’ll happen to be words like bloody and freaking peppering the sentences; if I’m waxing lyrical like I am now I’ll go something like:

intones in dry, sarcastic tone of Snape

“You are an incredibly stupid imbecile. I simply cannot fanthom how impossibly small your brain must be for you to make such a monumental mistake out of a perfectly simple task. You must have been excessively malnutritioned for your hand-eye coordination to be this bad… Blah blah blah insult parentage brains relatives choices blah blah blah.”

In fact, there’s even a >>Severitus!fanart<< where Snape spouts out a whole chunk of insult like a never-ending fountain. It was pretty hilarious, since in the end he was insulting himself and didn’t realise it. I find it incredibly funny when people don’t get that they’re being mocked or insulted at. It’s insanely perverse, yes. (Severitus = Snape’s Harry’s dad. It’s an alternate universe people like to live in sometimes.)

And speaking of fanart, here is another you simply must read. It’s tha best. (click on the image to go to the link)
