| 3:17 pm | Submit To Them Or Die Well... That's an interesting insight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6d5YLGg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7q3-tqx Let's go through this 'advice', shall we? (A) BE A MAN! Edward is "deep and not shallow". He allegedly falls in love with "the quiet girl" who's ultra-empathic for others' feelings. he can look beyond her physical appearance and- Load of old bollocks! Bella's not only practically become a template of a Mary Sue character, but was deliberately written as beautiful and strangely popular, the instant people meet her! Like fuck he's interested in the quietest, mousiest thing out there! He's after the prettiest and apparently most popular! It's amazing, in fact, how much of this advice actually hinges on someone already finding out a disturbing amount of details on a girl's personality and character before even properly getting into a relationship with them... (B) SHOW HER HOW YOU FEEL! BUT DON'T GUILT HER! Which is, y'know, common sense enough advice, except... This is justified with quotes from when Spike was stalking Buffy. The rest of it is basically about how a guy needs to be emotional and... It's just uncomforetable, because the narrator is confusing being in touch with your feelings, with projecting them onto someone and getting fixated on them. (C) PROTECT HER! WITHOUT MERCY! I love this one... The narrator says you don't have to impress girls by showing off. But that they'll be more impressed by knowing that even though you can, you hold back from doing so. WTF? Because unless she's telepathic, she won't have awareness of you doing this! (D) TAKE CHARGE! I don't even know where to start with the way this is described... The narrator says a guy should take charge "of every aspect" of a romantic relationship. In other words, control her into utter submission... D: (E) RESPECT HER! Which kind of contradicts (D). Also, scarily, this one is about making a woman your partner. I'm not quite sure what that means, but... It's ominous. (F) WOMEN WANT THIS! The narrator here reinforces that all the above is the sum total of what every single woman truly wants in a partner. AND THAT IT MUST BE CONSTANT AT ALL TIMES. Oy... (G) MAKE IT MUTUAL! Guys... Know what's best for her. 0_0 Also, apparently you need to know when it's time to let go, which is just amusing, considering how Edward apparently beats the living shit out of Bella for disagreeing with him. So, there y'go... (A) Find the most superficially beautiful and popular girl you can. Justify this by claiming that she's not and that nobody 'understands' her like you do. (B) Stalk your victim. Stalk them like nobody's been stalked before. (C) Somehow look like you're the kind of guy who's permanently on the brink of doing something a little bit crazy, but repress the urge to actually go through with it. The psychopathic look in your eyes, coupled with brooding in the corner and constantly staring at her, will do magic. Bonus: If you're a serial killer, this works for social interaction, too. (D) Once she starts letting you go on dates, make sure that you take charge of every possible aspect of the relationship. (E) Respect her (but obviously not so much that you relinquish that ever-important control). (F) Remember, no matter what, she really wants this. And you've got too much invested in this shit to let the bitch fuck it up now, right? (G) You know what's good for her. If she disagrees, just beat her until she sees sense. The scary world of dating, according to massed 'Twilight' fans: It now makes worrying sense how common abusive relationships are. Current Mood:  contemplative |

| 5:15 am | Crazy Geraldo's Descent To Madness You know, for all the talk in recent weeks about Fox News, it's their most Left-wing presenter who's the most judgementally sensationalist. I swear, Geraldo could introduce a segment about going to pick up some milk and it would be all, "Join us, as we join a mission to retrieve would could be the most climactic ingredient in this cereal bowl of disaster... We talk to the shop-keeper who dares to declare purchasing war on competitors! Our special reporting team, led by my brother, delves into this world of groceries and grocers, shooting exclusive footage of the man known only as 'the butcher'. The same diabolical fiend, perhaps, whose visit past these very shelves foreshadowed a horrific spilling of noxious chemicals of death upon the floor! Chemicals which low-paid workers - some of whom may be Hispanic - are enforced by tyranical rules to clean up, with only a minimum of safety equipment!" It's just... You can catch him at virtually any time and he's still fixated in speaking like tabeloid newspaper headlines! It's amazing! Current Mood:  amused |

| 3:35 pm | Beauty And The... Just seen the 'Beauty And The Beast' cartoon, for the first time. It's essentially just a great big story about Stockholm Syndrome, isn't it, really? :) Current Mood: amused |
| 9:17 am | Doctor Who's That? 'Doctor Who' special... ( Some details - nothing revealing story: ) Current Mood: contemplative |

| 11:53 am | Political Craziness In The World Would've thought their diplomatic team had sorted this out, after the previous incident... http://hotair.com/archives/2009/11/15/j That's what I don't get about this. It's so soon after he made precisely the same kind of mistake with the Saudi guy, that for it to now reach the stage where newspaper's won't run it, out of cultural cringing? Oy...! Definitely needs more briefing. Although, I found more worrying news on the same site: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/11/16/n I think that Israel is going to be forced to act in less than a year from now. It's been left too long for any meaningful sanctions to be put in place (mainly the fault of the Europeans dragging their feet for a number of years, as is their lack to properly contribute to Afghanistan security) and they're experts at playing for time. You don't need a missile to deliver these things. All it takes is putting one in a vehicle. Israel's so small, all you'd need to do would be to park it on the border and catastrophic damage would then be done. Once they're able to make the things explode, then time is up.

| 5:37 am | Sparkling! This deserves to be read... http://community.livejournal.com/dear_m This whole specific part of it, especially: http://community.livejournal.com/dear_m And then this! http://community.livejournal.com/dear_m XD Current Mood: amused |

| 7:51 am | I See A Pattern Emerging! Why is it that even the merchandise to do with a certain series involving sparkling vampires, always seems so stalker-related? http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/WhatsN More to the point, who will both buy this and wear it? Current Mood:  confused |

| 3:51 am | The Reason Why I Try And Wait For Details So, just seen a new Carrie Prejean interview, where she discusses the alleged 'sex tape'. Turns out... (1) She was a teenager when she did it. Well before her career had properly taken off. (2) It was done for a boyfriend who she was in love with, at the time. He was the only source for it, although he denies being so, which means he's disturbing enough to have kept it for all these years (and is selling it for no other reason than to make a few dollars off of her fame). (3) She finds it rather cringe-worthy for this to have become public, but admits that, now she's older and far more worldly wise, it was a stupid thing to have done. She also accepts "total responsibility" for it and is fully expecting, eventually, for someone to release it into the public domain. (4) It was something she did in the privacy of her own bedroom and nobody was with her. So, basically, she was young and stupid, did something which a disappointingly high proportion of teenage girls do and, now that she's old enough to know better, accepts it was foolish. The legal aspect of this is different to what it might have been, had the footage been taken by someone else (it was sent confidentially, but I don't know if E-mail counted as public domain, at the time), but the guy's still a total dicktard for trying to sell it. Technically, depending on her age at the time and State laws, he could even be done for possession of child pornography, which might be a reason for why he's denying it. Current Mood: curious |

| 7:35 am | Inspiration With Writing Well, seems like Katherine's in the mood to be written, again, if the mental picture in my mind is anything to go by... Whether or not that'll be her actual introductory scene, I don't know. Depends on if I can remember it. Kate, we need to find out if that place has some sort of industrial area and, if so, where it is. Am also seemingly coming out of my illness phase, which is a relieving thing. Current Mood: curious |

| 3:53 pm | Last night's rehearsal... Someone forgot to make sure an important prop was on the stage for my character's main scene. One other person stumbled over a line and made that caused me to forget my own and require a prompt. The same happened in another, but I was able to cover that. Hoping tonight's performance is a much greater improvement! Current Mood: hopeful |

| 9:31 am | In The Underworld I've been starting to write Selene-centric stuff, again. Perhaps enough to continue with that 'Underworld' prequel story. Current Mood: contemplative |
| 3:15 am | Media Stuff I've been increasingly troubled by the present administration in America, but their recent fixation on spending so much time to actively attack Fox News, when they should be engaging with its audience (which, considering they've got the largest, is a fairly strange move), is particularly worrying. Go to 1:45 into this report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-8rfE08 Well done, Tapper. It's nice to see a few journalists finally waking up to realise how they could be next. Something else, sad to say, which the present US government is repeating from the UK's 'New Labour' victory in 1997... It's weird to see just how much they have in common. Current Mood: curious |

| 5:35 pm | Getting All Comical And Stuff It cost some money, but this was precisely what I've been looking for. http://comiclife.com If only it let me specify the angle of rotation on frames or align them in certain ways I'd like to - but it's great! Current Mood:  creative |

| 5:31 pm | Thanking Great Dentists Had my first ever dentist thing taken care of, today. It was "the beginnings" of a cavity, which meant a "small filling". I don't eat confectionary (aside from a rare piece of chocolate, every now and then, but I mostly avoid even that, these days), because, even as a child, I never really liked the taste of most of it. With that said, I'm sure that some of what I've drunk, over the years (like soft drinks), have been acidic and stuff. That tends to mean that my teeth have survived in relatively good shape, so far. So! I did have to have an injection, but hardly even felt it, at all, much less experienced it going through flesh. I made sure they tested twice, just in case and, yeah, literally didn't feel anything during the actual work, which I'm highly thankful for - but literal numbness didn't set in until going out. :) Weird thing: Didn't expect that part of the mouth to also feel strangely cold. Anyway, am hoping that it all goes well and that the stuff they put in there doesn't come out or something. Going to eat very carefully, right into tomorrow, just in case. Thank you, spirit guides and whoever else assisted! Nice to not have pain. Also, we have booked a vacation to Orlando, Florida, next year. Two weeks. Having to investigate it.

| 1:35 am | Been speaking with a very trusted male friend of mine. About lady-type subjects. We're both fairly knowledgeable, but, for obvious reasons, he's got a lot more experience than my absolute zero. I seem to oddly be encountering one of those moments where all my closest friends are either securely in a relationship or have recently found someone. At 31, I genuinely sort of believe my own potential window of opportunity's now sadly over and done with (because, if you can't read the body language signals for flirtation from afar, by now - or just plain haven't knowingly encountered any - then, as a guy, your prospects are pretty much done with) and this has got the uncomfortable feel of reinforcing that, but the conversation was useful, regardless. You know... Theoretical knowledge and all that? Can always apply it when writing fictional stuff, if nothing else. Current Mood: contemplative |
