[ハッピメッリクリスマス！！] [ Dec. 25, 2009 ~ 12:02am ] carola_chan [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | 届カナイ愛ト知ッテイタノニ抑エキレズニ愛シ続ケタ… - GACKT ] Presents~ ^w^ Guuh. Christmas is lovely. My infection even behaved so I didn't have to writhe in pain all day ^^ Honeycakes spent the days with us, which was supercosy~ We sat around in the couch from seven thirty (the first hour spent at my place, then at my parents' house) until four, just sitting around in our jammies, eating yummies and watching the traditional shows. Guh. Cinderella and Disney~ Dad didn't work for once, but it was still stressy, because he had to go to City Syd for a last minute gift-purchase for sis (from 'santa'). While the rest of us just lazed around. At four we went down to my house to change into a suit and new Punk Yukata respectively, and then went up to have dinner. As usual, it's a quick event: When dad leaves the table (usually within ten-fifteen minutes of having sat down), the rest of us are free to go whenever we want, which makes it less formal and strained. I like it~ For once we didn't have to wait AAAGES for Gran and Grandpa to come in and join us for dessert and present-opening, just around 45 minutes, and then the fun was on. We spent approx 2,5 hours, almost three. Which includes TONS of money for Honeycakes, as well as useful gifts, tons of DVDs for me and a visit from 'Santa' (aka sis) that killed us all and had us doubled over laughing. With the exception of a pack of nailpolish, and a webcam that I don't really need since I have one, my family did really well again this year. Though, I wished REALLY HARD for books, amongst them the new releases of Renberg and Ragde, and none seemed to have perceived that x'3 However, I got TWO copies of Totoro and Sex Pistols: Never mind the bollocks. So I was happy XD Though I knew what I was getting from mom and dad, getting the Aoi/Shiroi Yoru DVDs in my hands was PRICELESS. And sjghfdkgjhfgjhfhk Anna Tsuchiya - Blood of Roses from Honeycakes. *ded* I iz THRILLED. Also, my grandparents are awesome for getting me Snow White, and "Folk og Røvere i Kardemomme by" which was one of my fave books when I was little, and which I NEVER got, because it was always sold out. *joy* Now, we shall return to the GACKT Diabolos Final as a way to end this epic day of love~ Good night~ blossoms blowing in the breeze // +cherished moments // try again to catch one

Calling All Akatsuki! [ Dec. 24, 2009 ~ 11:07am ] akatsuki_club [triad_mods] This RP is set in a world much life the one you live in, with one difference--it has ninja. Yes, honest-to-goodness, chakra-using, shadow of the shadows, killing ninja. They function as blades for hire, killing, stealing, and basically anything else that provides a good money--as long as it doesn't compromise their two main rules. These ninja live in the shadows, the best-kept deadly secret, and stick to their traditional killing ways. Unfortunately, someone has to know they exist for them to get work, and there are information leaks. Not everyone likes the idea of ninja. In fact, there's an entire organization dedicated to eradicating the ninja. These Ninja Hunters get paid by the heads they bring in, and no ninja's too small or cute to be taken out. There are also the black sheep of the ninja family--those who don't like sitting in the shadows or following the rule go rogue. These Renegade Ninja scrounge a living in the underworld, trying to keep their heads safe from the Ninja Hunters and their rule-following brothers. Within this rabble there's a group called the Akastuki that thinks the ninja should step out of the shadows and use their abilities to get their rightful recognition and power in the world. Needless to say, the more traditional ninja object to this idea most strongly. These three differing groups collide in one city. This city is filled with business of every kind, and very few people know about the deadly war being fought in it. The tension has been mounting for years, and something's about to give. Traditional, Renegade, or Hunter--choose your side and get ready to fight for your life and preserving your way of life.

Little Gaku! :D It's technically Christmas Eve now, since it's past midnight, so photo hosting I've been really productive today: I HUNG A LAMP. That's right, Grandpa came down to install the new lamp for the bedroom, and I helped. Lots. I fastened it in the ceiling even! But I stayed away from the wires. <.< The highlight of the installation was when my Grandpa went "Du e flink te å skru!" which in English translates into "You're good at screwing." XD ...that sounds wrong now, but the point was, I nearly died laughing. Then, I wrote a fic, with my beloved SNOW chars, Maaya and Atsushi~ We went shopping adn delivered a Christmas card. While Honeycakes went to Melhus, I went in to decorate tree with the family, and dad made me the man of the house by giving up on the lights and allowing me to take control of them for once XD He practically threw them at me: "YOU do it!" and "TAKE THESE. And I never want to see them again!" XD We put presents under the tree. I dyed my hair, and while the dye was in, I put up our tree, vaccuumed, cleaned, changed/made the bed and did the dishes. I feel so accomplished. All that's left now, is to go to bed and wait for tomorrow~ Mom says I get worse every year and that I'm outdoing my own impatience this year. She also told me to stay away from the dark dog and stick to Christmas Soda tomorrow XD Lawl. Maa. As promised, Death Note Christmas-thingy.

Racebending.com and Paramount [ Dec. 22, 2009 ~ 4:05pm ] avatar_fans [dkwrkm] Re-posted from racebending : APA Meeting with Paramount In response to the protest over the portrayal of Asian Americans and the race jokes in The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Asian American community leaders were invited to meet with high level Paramount executives in November. At the meeting, the Media Action Network for Asian Americans brought up the casting controversy over The Last Airbender. You can visit Racebending.com to read the full report. Suffice to say, now Paramount can't pretend they aren't aware of the problems people have with the casting. The President of Paramount Pictures told MANAA that in all his years in the business, he has never seen such outcry over the casting of a character, and that "diversity is paramount to Paramount." "Diversity is Paramount to Paramount"? Racebending.com decided to investigate that claim, so if you haven't seen it yet, also take a look at the research we did on the history of Asian American actors and Paramount Pictures. We learned that years ago, Paramount offered Asian American actors opportunities they no longer offer today. Over fifty years ago, Paramount was more progressive in hiring Asian actors than any other studio, launching the careers of some of the biggest Asian American stars of all time--including Sessue Hayakawa, Anna Mae Wong, Nancy Kwan, and George Takei. The modern day Paramount won't even cast Asian American actors, going so far as to casting white actors to play characters of color. Today their most famous Asian "star" is Po the Kung Fu Panda. ****NOTE**** In light of the comments made in my last racebending-related post to this comm, I wanted to clarify a few things, namely 1) That racebending.com is a part of the Avatar fan community, and that it is my belief that racebending-related posts can therefore co-exist in this comm along side more general movie posts, in the same way that Kataang-related posts and Zutara-related posts have a place here. and 2) That my purpose in re-posting racebending.com updates to avatar_fans is to make sure that all Avatar fans have access to as much information as possible to make the best decision for themselves in regards to whether they support this film and to what degree. There persist a number of misconceptions about what this movement is and what it stands for: my hope is that these posts work towards dispelling those. Do feel free to ask me any questions (such as whether racebending.com is racist against whites/blacks/Jewish people... the short answer being NO) about the movement, and as you doubtlessly know, you can always visit us at racebending.com. :) Thank you.

[2 days to gooo] [ Dec. 22, 2009 ~ 11:50pm ] carola_chan [ mood | tired ] [ music | Nintendo BGM ] I has made Tree-ornaments! :D Little GACKTs, hide, Yoshiki, Naruto, KH and Geass characters. And a little Grell and Link x3 Phew. Today has been tiring to say the least. I didn't get much sleep, like I said, and then after their shopping, Honeycakes with mother returned to my place, where we sat around talking, watching Miyavi and wrappign presents for a few hours. Afterwards we went shopping (I feel so sorry for making you go out again dear >.<). And when we returned we bleached my aftergrowth, before Honeycakes had to go to Orkanger to deliver presents, while I was set on getting some relaxation. Instead, Nyanko-chan asked if he could come over, just as Mirielle called me up and asked if she could head over and deliver dark dog. So, I said yes to both of them. Mirielle and I sat around talking about girlstuff lol, old times and work until Nyanko-chan came. She left shortly after, and the two of us just sat around lulzing and talking. Honeycakes came home and the brief hour Adrian was to stay turned into a couple more as there was wii programming to be had. I'm supertired, but I can't sleep until I have had my water. And I should've eaten something today >_< Gah. Now I'll feel like crap again tomorrow >_< Muh. I should get to it then ._.

Tyzula: Animated kiss [ Dec. 21, 2009 ~ 10:38pm ] avatar_fans [yamiloo] [ mood | aggravated ] Tyzula Animated Kiss by ~Yamino on deviantART   I made this as a submission to Ty-Zula, the new DA club for my Avatar OTP. They're having an icon/banner contest, so of course I had to submit something. The mod mentioned she wanted it "animated," but I'm not sure this was exactly what she had in mind. XD Estimated time taken: a million years. Every time I try to animate something, I'm painfully reminded of why I DIDN'T do animation as my major. I'd rather become famous through comics, and then direct/storyboard animations. Those drones can do all this dirty work!
