wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

Muku is bidding on this for someone: 5000+ yen for this.
After fees, it'd be like $80. X_X

Chubster could give Hazuki some competition if he got skinny.
He looks so cute here. Poor guy keeps getting called Metabolic.



Sorry for not responding to comments recently. I'll take the time to do so when I have some actual veg time in front of the comp. :)

Because I forgot to research Bioshock 2 ages ago.

"The player takes the role of "Subject Delta", the first Big Daddy and prototype for the Big Daddies seen in the original game. The character possesses superior speed and intelligence to other Big Daddies, as well as free will. As such, the player uses the Big Daddy's drill and rivet gun as weapons as well as some other weapons found across Rapture, though the drill does run out of fuel."

UM. OK, THIS HAS MADE ME SO FUCKING HAPPY IT IS RIDICULOUS.

Today we were supposed to help Monya and Terry pack up the house in Amarillo or some shit, but at the last minute they finally remembered we have to pack our own shit to FINALLY FUCKING LEAVE TOMORROW. When we came down we had a van packed with our shit that Terry insisted on bringing even though I bitched and moaned about it. And you know what? I feel like my bitching and moaning was totally justified since I knew we wouldn't have a van to go back home in. I'm glad I at least had the foresight to bring home one of the giant tubs we brought with us when we went back to get our Xboxes.

There's not really much to pack up, and I pretty much know what I want to take with me. Right now it's a matter of getting all the laundry done and tracking down all of our stuff to make sure they don't keep our towels like they did with our socks. :|

I mean, seriously, I came down here with 12 pairs of socks and I only have two now. Bullshit.

Played an epically hilarious game with Duckie, nekocrouton and some other person last night. Duckie decided to try out Advanced on Left 4 Dead 2. We managed to make it to the fourth stage but kept dying in pretty failtastic ways. XD We got Special-raped a lot and there was a time when I thought I would get some street cred by bounding to the fucking safe room door to get us out of that fucking Dark Carnival loop, but no. Got incapped halfway inside the fucking safe room by a Spitter and some friends. orz Son, I am disappoint. Soooooo not ready for anything beyond Normal in Left 4 Dead 2. Advanced on that game makes Expert on the first look like a trip through Candyland. Despite all the fail, it was still pretty fun. There were a few awesome Nick/Ellis gay jokes and the fail was lulzy itself. X;D Anyway, we gave up on Advanced and changed the difficulty to Normal right before nekocrouton left and got through it smoothly after. Coach got incapped in the safe room by a fucking Charger but we made it! Duckie got dick-moved by a Tank when the helicopter made it to the finale just as Coach and I cleared the asshole horde off of her. :( Coach and I were the only ones that made it out. It was sad. :(

Another carbon monoxide warning went off today 8D I really hate this fucking house and am so glad that pretty soon everyone will be out of it for good.

I feel sick to my stomach :( I don't really want to do anything today lol.


/edit/ Because I'm not going to be around at all tomorrow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, milkshake!!!

I haven't slept all night. Like, seriously. I putzed around the internets until 5 or 6 am - and played Left 4 Dead 2 with Duckie and a few random players. 6 am public games are not good. At all. We kept getting dudes with no mics that kept running ahead of everyone and setting everyone on fire for no reason or we got people with no mics that were trying to get achievements (which I totally would've helped with, because everyone needs achievements)so they lagged behind without saying anything and held up the game. I'm totally easy-going about gameplay, because I'm not a fucking epic superstar videogame snob - but some communication is necessary.

There were some pretty hilarious deaths and Special Infected rape going on, though. So even though we had some shitty players, there was plenty of lulz. And I like lulz.

Anyway, we were forced to go into town to get supplies from the grocery store since it was snowing like a motherfucker this morning. Duckie and I are exhausted as fuck, but go, because like we were already dressed, we were promised breakfast and whatever, it's getting us out of the house a little bit. Somehow the trip into town turned into us getting lunch instead, a movie - Sherlock Holmes aka the gayest fucking movie ever omg, like wow. Seriously. We were actually surprised that Watson and Holmes didn't make out. It was a lot of fun, too. I HAVE NO FUCKING COMPLAINTS. - waiting in a cold and cramped car in numerous parking lots and a douchebaggy half-assed snowball fight.

Then, on the way home, the engine died or some shit. So there was more waiting in a cold and cramped car on the side of the road, only this time I had wet socks. My toes are still cold.

Fuck you, 2009. I will not miss you at all, you fucking bitch.

Happy New Year, ladies.

Taking a break from the Death Toll finale on expert because the AI is causing serious rage AND I almost made it to the very end and failed. The fucking boat came and then a Smoker got me. I could've killed the fucking jerkoff but I was out of ammo. KSJDKSJDKJSDKJDS THE MOTHERFUCKING BOAT WAS THERE y'all. Also, I feel like getting this far by myself makes me some kind of Left 4 Dead badass.

I don't know why I waste my breath yelling at the bots, though. Bitches can't hear me and even if they could, I doubt they'd respond kindly to "MOVE, DUMBSHIT" or "Fuck your mother, cuntface." I think if Nick were a real life person, we would be BFF.

As you may have notice, the community pretty much came to a stop about two years ago. A lot of us have been busy with other things and just didn't have the time to romanize.

For the past year I've been contemplating reviving this community, but decided on something a bit better.

I have been (slowly) moving all of the content here as well as posting up new content on the "new" romaji site, called warehouse. This site will not only hold lyrics, but it will hold translations as well, and lyrics are not limited to visual kei (or even Japanese music--Chinese and Korean is welcome, too).

Most of the site is non-functional at the moment while we code up the pages, but you can expect to see nearly everything from here as well as things that we have been working on but haven't posted here.

The address is http://symphonia.premier-amour.net/warehouse/ for the time being.

Requests are open again and will function the same way they did before. Contributions are also welcome. If you run an Asian music-themed site and would like it added to the directory, feel free to email it to us.

So I've been trying to get those fucking beat a campaign on expert achievements for Left 4 Dead for two weeks now. The only thing is I'm trying to do this shit by myself and the bots since I don't want to inflict friendly fire on human team mates - I mean, I already apologize to the fucking bots and they're bots. OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS ACHIEVEMENT YET BECAUSE THE BOTS ARE FUCKING RETARDED (because really, if I'm bleeding out the most and closest to you, you fucking bot, WHY WOULD YOU RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER FUCKING SIDE TO HELP LOUIS? AND THEY ARE ALWAYS WASTING PEELS AND HEALTH KITS[not that this is NEW or anything]) .... despite all the fail and ragequitting that's gone on, I managed to make it to the third stage of No Mercy on expert. So fucking close, but there is only so many times I can take being raped by a motherfucking Tank while my bot team decides to fiddle around playing with their asses.

I'm not a serious business gamer (I like fucking around and shooting shit for the sake of shooting shit) and so I probably have no business even playing expert due to that reason alone, BUT I WANT MY FUCKING ACHIEVEMENTS.

I tried L4D2 on expert because I thought it might be easier with melee weapons LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I WAS FUCKING STUPID, didn't even make it to the first safe room.

Also, we got Duckie's Guardin' Gnome achievement the other night. She randomly decided to play as Nick and WATCHING NICK BASH ZOMBIE SKULLS IN IS THE MOST HILARIOUS FUCKING SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN. Seriously. I was laughing my ass off so hard, I forgot to shoot shit.

I don't know how many of you l4d-ers troll/lurk tf2chan, BUT SRSLY THE MOST AMAZING THING HAS BEEN POSTED:

Because I have nothing to do when school is on break, I spent a ridiculous amount of time fucking around with someone else's layout code and making a new header for my journal since my borrowed Christmas layout no longer applies. kuragecircus - in case anyone's interested. JFC. I made one for Duckie, too - which took even longer - which she says she's gonna use when she gets a paid account. (lies lol) I also made a new profile layout. So much excitement omg!!

In other news - WHAT THE HELL, FANDOM? Why did no one kindly direct my ass to a screenshot of Nick and Ellis fighting zombies near the tunnel of love?!



FUCKING BEST DATE EVER, Y/Y?!

I'm tired and bored since there's really nothing I can bitch about for fun. Time to kill some zombies or play Half-Life 2, ragequit Portal or try to reach level 100 on Bubble Bobble all by my lonesome. idefk, so many options, so little time.

I'll probably dick out and watch Roseanne reruns.

I wasn't going to bother writing up about my Christmas until tomorrow - or, well, later today actually - because I have cramps, feel ridiculously nauseous and just really don't have the fucking energy for how completely lame and boring this Christmas was. I blame this on being stuck in Amarillo with no end in sight for this hellish fucking visit, but whatever.

Bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, bitch, moan, etc.

My favorite present hands down this year was Duckie's Nick/Ellis - general Left 4 Dead 2 novella and let me tell you, bitches, it was SO FUCKING AWESOME THAT

IF THE LAWS OF NATURE ALLOWED IT, I WOULD BEAR HER CHILDREN

Or I would let someone else do it, because children are annoying little bastards, but still. You know what I mean. It is the best fucking Left 4 Dead fanfic ever written and so the fact that it's a Christmas present just for me is fucking amazing. I seriously felt like I won the lottery or got a box full of cake and money - it was that fucking epic. I seriously don't have any way to express the words/emotions/internet-flailing/e-hearts that I feel for this present. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I am just seriously happy that I have the best bff ever.


My gift (Left 4 Dead 1&2 comics) was so fucking lame, but a lot of work went into it (which is sad if you could see the pictures rofl) and I thought it was, like, 3-AM-jfc-I'm-so-tired-everything-is-hilarious-funny so X;D The important thing is I tried and she either really likes it or is just humoring me. Either way ♥
