I was having a horrible day before the day even began. Sometime around 8 last night, I remembered that I had a coursework assignment for Chemistry due...for today. I didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. Then, I ended up forgetting a very important part of my biochemistry lab at home and I had to turn back and get it. I can't say I wasn't being given signs. Right as I walk up to my friends at school, they drop the bomb on me.

"Hey Rochlle...I hear that you watch gay porn. Is it true?"

-sigh- For half a second I wanted to jusy say no; I knew exactly what was going to happen if I answered correctly.  But in a way, I consider it my responsibility to be 18x more pro-gay, because I live in Jamaica and am surrounded by virulent homophobes.

"Yeah."

It went down exactly as I igured it would, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. Even among some incredibly infuriating statements, one in particular stood out. I postulated to them if they would rather their son [of course it's a son; lesbians are a git from God dontcha know~ It's different when it's two women~] be a rapist or gay.

"Rapist. I don't even have to think about it."

"Yeah, that can cure. So long as he only rapes women. "

Think about that. Stew on it. They would rather their theoretical son RAPE WOMEN....than have consensual relationships with men. I didn't stay with them for very long after that. It has been eating at me all day, and I don't think I can let it go. I don't know if I'll be able to sit down and chat and laugh with them after hearing that.

One thing that I've picked up is the habit of checking blogs. Reading through the entries and comments make me feel like I'm part of a community, even though I just lurk, and most importantly it helped me find myself. Deep, but reading progressive blogs made me start to let go of the prejudices that I've harboured my whole life, and has helped affirm some of my own beliefs. If the words patriarchy, kyriarchy, misogyny, homophobia, racism, priviledge, ableism, ageism, transphobia and classism don't mean anything to you, then they should. We're swimming in them. Every single person on earth is. Reading these blogs and thinking about these topics have become such a precious thing to me, that I'm going to try and start to do a regular break-down of these isms in popular culture, more specifically in song. I hope I follow through with this, cause I want to do something.

After wasting spending yet another day on tvtropes.org, I nearly pissed myself laughing because of a Stealth Pun that has been in front of me- and most of you- for years, but I never understood it until that moment. The Charmin toilet paper adverts are about bears shitting in the woods.






Yes. XD I am so easily amused. I've started using trope names in conversation; there is no hope for me.


In less happy news, school is about to start, I didn't get into medical science and I failed my drivng test. lesigh. AT first, I was really dow, but after realising that it was due to my own self-imposed scedule of becoming a doctor, it's not bothered me so much. Hopefully some of that notorious university student free time will actually trickle down to me this year, but considering that every single course I do has a lab component....sigh.

Heeey....To anyone still paying attention to me, I know I've been well absent from fandom and msn. I've been feeling listless and gloomy and shit, and will also throw in exam stress as an excuse. Hopefully my rl friends won't forget what I look like since y'all may not be seeing me for a long time. The dark cloud has somewhat lifted from my head and I have had a stark reminder that my life isn't half as bad as it could be. Still, I feel out of it.

Anyway, the concept for this fanvid was on my mind for the longest while and it was nice to finally see it come to life. It turned it really well; I'm quite proud of it. Wanted to make it a bit more fancy, but I only had ever shitty Windows Movie Maker to work with, so...whatevs, it turned out quite fine :]

My first DW fanvid :D I think it came out pretty well. ^^

Youtube description: A Doctor Who fanvid about the Doctor and Martha, all the things they faced, and how it simultaneously brought them closer and tore them apart. Eh, that's the best summary I could come up with. ^^'

Making a fanvid for this drama has been on my mind ever since I started watching it, but I just now got around to it. Made it in record time, Movie Maker was actually functioning properly -shockhorror-! I know I haven't been on lj much these days, university is quite the adjustment from high school and I've had more romance drama than I can handle going on these past weeks. -sigh- But this will make up for it right? RIGHT? ._.

Well I can go to university knowing that I at least completed one of my summer goals. I made a Kanjani8 fanvid. <33 After listening to the song on endless repeat, it hit me that the song totally works with Kasuga's situation and what not. And so after wrestling with Movie Maker, I have a fanvid to present~.

Title: What Lies Beneath
Characters: Tsubaki Jun, Oikawa Sousuke, Aida Michiru
Summary: One's outer appearance can be a veil that conceals a storm below the surface.

Notes: For some reason a plot involving Sousuke just won't leave my mind. Perhaps it's because he was killed off so cheaply. Who knows.  And that scene with Ryo and Ohkura in promotion of Yasuko to Kenji didn't help. Thus Tsubaki Jun is involved.  This drabble is the result of that endless musing.

Well, I have arrived in New Jersey. Even though it's my fifth day or so, I've already got lots of nice clothes for university.  :]  But that's not what I'm writing about today. No. I'm here to rant about the almost unbelieveably bad service of Air Jamaica. Never. Again.


Firstly, before I even booked my ill-fated ticket, they decided to cancel their route from Kingston/Montego Bay to Newark. Why? I have no idea. That route is always full when I travel. But they changed it from Newark to JFK in New York. This is only the beginning. I decided to go with this rathger than spend several hours in Miami on an American Airlines flight. I would later come to question if I had actually chosen the lesser of two evils.

So I woke up at 4am one Friday morning, bags packed, ready to take the first straight flight Air Jamaica has ever provided and go see my relatives and get clothes. I was confident about having a good flight, it was a straight trip and I had checked in online the night before, surely saving me a long wait in a long line. I was half right. It saved me a long line. But with only about 20 people to attend to, the lady at the counter took no less than 90 minutes for me to get to her and check in. Seriously. And apparently, there were people who had to come back that morning after they got bumped from a flight to New York the night before. That was the second warning sign. As a side note, not only were they bumped, but they were simply told to go to one of the desks and it would be sorted out. Right....So I got there at 5:30 to get my boarding pass for a 7:30 flight, and I only got to make my way to the departure lounge at 7, when they immediately had a boarding call. I didn't get to eat anything. I don't even know why they made a boarding call, about half of the people on the flight were waiting to be checked in. But I went, hungry, and got on the plane.


I was really sleepy, so I had on and off naps while I waited for the plane to take off. Around 9 or so they had finally got everyone on the plane. Still, they were sort of on-time, and I leaned back and waited for takeoff. I would wait in my seat for another 5 hours before we even got to leave and have something to eat. Yes. 5 hours. The plane had some engine trouble, and after several tries to make it leave the gate, they couldn't have the sense to know that it was dead, and they should find another plane to put us on, or at the VERY FUCKING LEAST!!!!! .....feed us. They kept trying to make it work, and I just kept thinking is it worth it to come crashing back to earth a few seconds later. So they kept us there, hungry and uninformed, while they tried to 'work on the problem'. The other passengers had to make noise and get angry and complain before they even offered us ovaltine biscuits and a beverage.


Around 2pm, about two hours after we should have landed in JFK, they finally let us off the plane, and we were able to get something to eat. Then we had to wait for a plane coming in from Gatwick,London to take us to JFK. The wait for that plane was about another hour or so, but we sat in the plane for another hour, who knows what went wrong then, for another hour before we finally took off at 5pm.

The going was relatively smooth after that, but I just can't believe how long they kept us in the plane for ENGINE FAILURE. I just.....honestly can't imagine what they were thinking. And I honestly believe that they have meetings where they plan how they can piss off their passengers more and more, because the service gets worse everytime I fly with them. And it's only because not many airlines come to this small island why I still use them now. Last Christmas was a fiasco where I had to wait 5 hours in Montego Bay because I had been put on an earlier flight to Kingston, but they didn't bother to tell me until AFTER THE FUCKING PLANE TOOK OFF!!!!! And I had gone to the information desk to ask to be put on the flight I was actually supposed to be on. And it wasn't just me. It was at least 10 of us. I was speechless. Absolutely flabbergasted.


I would friend-lock something like this, but I want everyone to know to NEVER TRAVEL WITH AIR JAMAICA UNLESS YOUR VERY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

I'm travelling tomorrow [Friday], in the middle of packing my bags now. I just want to say this so that people know I'm not dead. Where I'm going has Internet access, but I don't know how active I'll be using it. And to my MSN-tachi, you might not see me online either. I'll be back in the country in August. Later~.

Is it just me or has MediaFire been acting up lately? I've tried to download various things from various persons, and it just fails. Like it will download the file, but not in it's correct .avi form and so it doesn't join or play at all. It's really frustrating!! >(  It isn't even consistent. I tired to download Gokusen episodes, and that worked, but then I tried something else right after.......nothing. >.<   I've alread worked my way around MegaUpload, but I'm not a premium member and so there's restrictions. Plus it's not always feasible, like for smaller files. ::frustrated sigh::  I know MF has its times where it's being pissy, but really. What. The. Hell.

Title: Stockings and Heels or Tacchon, You Pervert! [1 of 2]
Pairing: Shoko/Ohkura. Shoko being Yasu's okan alter-ego.
Rating: PG-13 [smut in part 2]
Summary: Tacchon discovers that Yasu visits his alter-ego in his spare time. Smut ensues. 8D

Notes: While making rounds on the Je Smut/Kink meme, I came across a wonderful Tadako/Yasu fic by the wonderful [info]uchikins. :) It left me longing for Shoko/Ohkura. I asked her to write it sometime, but it seems I'm too.....wound up to wait. I decided to write it myself. XD  Yasu just looks too adorable in a dress. I'm sure Tacchon would agree with me. ;)

Ah Tacchon. The sexy pig of silence. XD It's no secret that you do eat quite a lot for any one person. And it's also no secret that you can ooze sexiness when you give it a go. Like when you go all out on your drum set. -*.*-  ::nosebleed:: And you are by far the most quiet member of Kanajni8, which I suppose isn't all that difficult considering the competition ^^'. But when you do speak up and participate you're funny in your own way. I don't think it gets said enough: You have an awesome voice! It's so deep and sensual, smooth. I just love it. ::flails::

So, I hope that you get lots of wonderful food on your special day or a chocolate covered Yasu. And  it would be lovely if you stopped wearing those ugly hats on Janiben. T.T And now another mini-pic spam to celebrate 23 years of Tatsuyoshi. :D

Manchester United pipped rivals Chelsea to clinch their 17th title triumph with victory at Wigan.  :D What a lovely beginning to an article. <333  And substitute Ryan Giggs clinched United's Premier League triumph - his 10th - with a cool finish from Rooney's pass 10 minutes from time.  That made it even sweeter. <3 Gigsy!! :D  My only lament is that I have no ManU icon to properly celebrate this. >.>  I must go find one!


BBC Sport Player Rater Man of the match: Manchester United's Ryan Giggs 8.13 (on 90 minutes). <3333  ::happy dance::
