Strikethrough 2007

So, for those of you over here and not in LJland, I shall briefly explain the current explosion.

Apparently an online site called Warriors of Innocence has turned their anti-child porn eyes over to LJ. LJ listened to their pleas and has been going after sexual predators. Unfortunately, their search has turned into a witch hunt. Not only have fandom communities and journals with the interests: rape, pedophilia, incest, shota, etc. been deleted, they've even suspended support groups and literary discussion boards. (Boards for discussion of works like Lolita? GONE!) This is so big, that fandom and I mean ALL of fandom has rallied together against LJ Abuse and has demanded not only an explanation but for them to repair the damage. Thus far we have had no response from LJ and WoI have feigned innocence and told a fandom representative that they never reported any fandom LJs or the like. We have not yet confirmed whether this is true or not. At any rate, as soon as I get home, I'm backing up my LJ. If things are not resolved at least in the next 24 hours, I plan on moving everything over to Journalfen. This is beyond ridiculous and there are no words for the rage I feel right now.

I...WHAT

Anaheim, California (May 25, 2007) - As announced on the stage of J-ROCK REVOLUTION:

SKIN is Yoshiki, Gackt, Sugizo and Miyavi!

Stay tuned for more info.



*explodes* WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?!

Soon, very soon.

So I haven't gone to see the headmaster yet, but I'm not holding out much hope that they're going to offer me a contract for next year. Upon reflection, I can't say I'm disappointed. I mean, okay. A job? Yeah, gets me money. Teaching experience? Also good. But seriously, these kids are beginning (okay, that's a lie. They have been for quite a while) to grate on my nerves.
"Why is this computer, like, not working?"
Me: ...because God hates you.
"What do you mean we have work to do?"
Me: Shocking, I know. What with the fact that you're in school and all.
*insert inane brain cell killing chatter here*
Me: *gnaws teeth and refrains from killing something*
"Can I use a computer?"
Me: Seeing as you don't even know how to plug in a damn mouse? I'd say no.

Yeah, I'm weeping at the thought of leaving this place. Weeping tears of pure joy. That said, there's apparently a position for a Human Resources secretary with one of the nearby school systems.

Pros: No more dealing with children (YES YES OH FUCK YES), much better pay, closer to home
Cons: Still have to deal with people, probably longer hours, it's 12 months as opposed to 9 with the summer off.

Truly, the pros outweigh the cons in this. Oh god, I want this job. I want it so hard. In the meantime, T-minus 2 more days of dealing with mind killing teenagers.

ETA: Just talked to him. They "can't make the math work". Aka, they're going to save money by having a teacher without students teach computers next year. Meh, their loss. As for me? I suddenly have this feeling of pure joy.

PSA!

Okay people. My birthday is a month away, thus I figured I'd make a post about this so you can start taking off work, etc now. Though my birthday is on July 1st, I have made Party Day June 30th, as it's a Saturday. (Since everything and their mother is closed on Sundays).
Ninja - The kids are invited too as game night wouldn't be the same without them.
Bob - Sven and Shannon are invited.
Yaoi Boy - Bring yourself. Seriously dude, we miss you. *sad face*

That is all.

Huzzah, another round of Fannish5

Today's fannish 5: Name five qualities you always find attractive in fictional characters.

1. Intelligence - Give me a character who can quote Shakespeare at me, and I'm theirs. Examples: Nearly every character I like in fandom.

2. Snark/Wit - I love a snarky guy, even if he is a little bitter. Examples: House, Bernard Black

3. Geekiness/Awkward shyness - Aww, I love my shy geeky guys. They're so cute! Examples: Daniel Jackson

4. Boy Scout Charm - You know the ones, the guys who refuse to leave anyone behind. Sometimes even the villains! I less than three my boy scouts. Examples: Duncan McLeod, the Doctor, Vash

5. Major skills - I'm talking about those guys who can take a pencil and kill 10 men without breaking a sweat. Or can escape a trap by climbing down a 30 story building. I mean seriously, that is hot. Examples: Jack Bauer, Jim Ellison

They.... what? WHAT?!

How British Library allowed 300-year-old diary to be ruined. 300...year old....diary. How do you accidentally cut off a cover?!

Brain Goes Boom!

Dude. DUDE. I just found out via my LJ flist that William Russell aka Ian Chesterton's son is Alfred Enoch aka Dean Thomas on Harry Potter AND Harry Melling aka Dudley Dursley is Patrick Troughton's grandson. ....all that added to the fact that David Tennant was in HP and ZOMG BRAIN EXPLODE.

Another fandom, what?

So... Hot Fuzz. Yeah. Go see it. Simon Pegg is a genius and I love him and he and Nick Frost are totally gay for each other. Especially in this movie. <3 That is all.

HOLY CRAP!

OMG Michael Shanks is on 24! *explodes*
