For silly that it seems (and it is), some considerations on the pairings of my newest anime obsession: Gundam 00. Because levyrasputin bravely asked for them.



( Soo... )

Someone called me "cruel" for having paired her favorite character with someone she despised so much in the fandom. Considering that the couple I wrote about was THE canon couple, I found said email quite creepy. Cool, she made me feel like J. K. Rowling who got hate letters for the pair Lupin/Tonks (that I find made of awesome, btw).
I had a good laugh, and suggested the good girl to have a life out of here.

God, to write fanfictions is one of the best hobby ever, but shipping wars are so utterly annoying :-)

I got this by sms. Dress in red and forward!

«In support of our incredibly brave friends in Burma: May all people around the world wear red shirt on Friday 28. Please forward!»

“FEAR”, the lady used to say, “is a habit.” This week, inspired in part by the lady herself, Aung San Suu Kyi, partly by the heroic example set by Buddhist monks, Myanmar's people kicked the addiction.

Defying the corrupt, inept, brutal generals who rule them, they took to the streets in their hundreds of thousands to demand democracy. They knew they were risking a bloody crackdown, like the one that put down a huge popular revolt in 1988, killing 3,000 people or more. In 1988 Burma's people were betrayed not just by the ruthlessness of their rulers, but also by the squabbling and opportunism of the outside world, which failed to produce a co-ordinated response and let the murderous regime get away with it. This time, soldiers are once again shooting and killing unarmed protesters (see article). Can the world avoid making the same mistake twice? (The Economist, Sep 27th 2007)

I'm not used to sign petitions, but today a friend of mine forwarded me an article so disgusting that I dragged my lazy ass to thepetitionsite.com to leave my name.
Go here for more information about dogs used as shark bait and, please, sign here http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/121875631 they need to reach 25,000 signatures.

Don't get swept away by the wind of Satan!

Hilarious video I found while ago on YouTube. This is a gift for my friend lanawnshee
Welcome to LJ Land dear! :-D

Now I'm wondering how many of you, out there, like vampires. ;-)

January was crazy! Work, real life, the preparation for my next two cosplays... and my website! Last week I started to think that I could gather all my fanfics togheter, updating my old website at geocities, and I ended up building a brand new one. Took me the whole weekend to learn how to use a reliable software but finally it's almost done. Well, considering it's my first time I'm quite satisfied.

And for S. Valentine... eheh... I post here for you pleasure (well, perhaps ;-)), a story I've had in mind since I read Hellsing for the first time.
It's nothing serious, just something creepy to spice up your otherwise fluffy S. Valentine day ;-)

After the cut,  Bloody Sleeping Beauty (as usual, all the characters belongs to Hirano Kouta. Betareading by Kevin, because he insisted...)


( Is it enough a kiss, Sir Integra, to wake up a Bloody Sleeping Beauty? )

When my boyfriend showed me this I thought it was a joke. Then I saw it on Amazon O_o
What will be next? The iVibrator? With and iPod dock glued to your favorite toy for musical massages?

iToilet-Roll-Holder

Well, not really a meme (but it could be) but something funny I snagged from a RL friend.

Oh... oh... so many vampires here...

Hello, hello!

My long Christmas vacation is over :-( I had fun, though! Visiting friends, eating and sleeping too much, and being lazy. For 2007 I'll try to read more, finish my Utena fanfiction (shame on me...), be more focused at work, and waste less money. Well, this last one will be difficult :-P

What I bring in this new year is a brand new amv. Black Blood Brothers is the series and Angels by Within Temptation the song.

Angels of Black Blood Brothers
Pairings: CassaxJirou & MimikoxZelman

Making this amv I've realized that Within Temptation is an awesome band (especially their album The Silent Force) and  the couple MimikoxZelman is totally too hot. Probably because she seems so innocent and  the read-head so wicked. I adore their contrasting attitudes. This could possibly lead to an interesting fanfiction... ^_^

I want to wish an happy Christmas to those who celebrate it and a new year of peace to all the rest of the world. :-)

I dedicate my Christmas to Piergiorgio Welby, a good and proud man who died two days ago and who fought for the right to have a merciful death. He suffered for almost 10 years, attached to respiratory machine against his will when, finally, his doctor satisfied his desire to die, and to die painless, unplugging him and giving terminal sedation. Their act of rebellion has been severely punished: the Vatican has refused Piergiorgio the religious funeral (even if his was not exactly a suicide) and his doctor will be charged of homicide. His story is here.
It's long to explain, but here in Italy we don't have the right to refuse life-sustaining treatment and, of course, things as physician-assisted suicide and even terminal sedation are illegal and considered (a view strongly influenced by the Vatican) equal to euthanasia.
I don't want today to discuss here their position or why I strongly oppose their view, I just want to wish Piergiorgio's family a serene Christmas and a buon viaggio to Piergiorgio...

Woohoo! Finally I've found a good series for one of my favorite songs.

AMV: Wish I had an Angel
Song by Nightwish
Series: Black Blood Brothers
Pairings: CassaxJirouxMimikoxZelman (I've still to decide which is the best combination...)

One of the best commercials ever!

Women, for your eyes only

Select a product and see the side effects ^_^

I'm truly at a loss of words to describe what it is happening in these days in Italy.

Last year the Christian lobbies moved against a referendum (supported by 4 millions of voters) that would have modified the aberrant Law 40.

It's all the day long that I try to change the layout of my journal but I can't find one satisfying :-( And I'm too lazy to learn how to design one. 
I think I'll keep this Component-Orange Soda for a while, the combination of orange and brown is a bit weird  but not too unpleasant.
And orange is officially the color of the winter 2006/2007... I'm a hopeless fashion victim :-P

Fantastic test, and quite accurate ;-)

I participated with a story to a fanfiction movie contest, with "The seasons" as main theme.
I had few time to work on it so I wrote down a short story about Star Wars, with Darth Maul (my favorite villain) as main character.
Unfortunately my betareader is currently out of town (really out of continent...), so you'll probably find tons of mistakes. Sob... I'm sorry but grammar classes made me sleep every time ;-)

I took it out of boredom... the result is quite surprising ;-)
