Let's not go to Camelot... 'Tis a silly place.

Today my older brother walked into my room wearing an apron and said." I don't know why these went out of style in the female community, they are very sliming." And then went to admire himself in the bathroom mirror. MLIA

It's a snow day... Guess Kadwell (who was 100% certain that we would not have a snow day this week) was wrong! Can't wait to see his reaction when we go back to school. :DD

My mother peeked into my room really early this morning and told me we didn't have school. After I got up to turn off my alarm, I couldn't fall back asleep! My mind was occupied with Ouran and what I would do with this vacation. (I think I'm gonna bake!!!)
Omg, Looney Toons on Cartoon Network! :DD ("Yes, I'm really the last of the Dodos!")


Here's the snowman I just made:

As you can see, the eyes are lemons. And...
It's a nekomimi snowman! XD
...Come on, you had to have expected that from me!

'Tis the Season

This is now my official "Christmas layout."
I used it last year, and dangnabit, I am using it again!

I finally started on my Christmas list (my mum has been bugging me about it). Pretty much, it has accessories for the Holga camera I'm buying (colour filters), and a looot of anime stuff. :D
I think my chances of getting manga or anime on DVD are greater if it is almost the only thing I put on the list. XP

I hope Angel can come over this weekend~.
I have been spending a lot of time with her recently! :O With BPA and her being my only friend in my lunch ('Cept Plushie! But he wasn't at lunch today!), aaaand the amazing Skillet concert, I've been seeing her more than ever!

Well, I'm really getting into an anime mood, so I'm going to go watch Loveless. ^___^

Dearheart

Next week we're going to have to write short autobiographies in Creative Writing. :/ I was a bit worried, with no idea what I would write about, then Nellie asked me to explain to her why I hate the post office so much. XD She said my autobiography would be more interesting than hers, but I disagree! I think she's much more creative than I am... *cough* Nellie comes up with all these interesting names for people whose real names she doesn't know (I forgot examples, though). Me? I can't tell you how many people I have dubbed "Blondie." Seriously. Then there's "Girl who dyed her hair red," "Person-who-I-think-name-is-Katie-but-I'm-not-sure," and "Guy-whose-bangs-completely-cover-his-eyes." XDD (He did cut his bangs, though. Maybe Angel's mum passed by him on the street and snipped 'em off for him. I could totally see that. XD)

We (Nellie and I... You're mentioned in this post so much!) did a p-chat last night, and it's so much fun! I've only done it one other time, with someone I'm somewhat friends with on deviantART. I wish more of my friends had tablets. v.v

I'm getting into Ouran High School Host Club for the millionth time. You see, I read or watch it for awhile, then my interests steer away. Inevitably, though, I will go back to it, re-read the three manga volumes I have, watch a few episodes of the anime online... If you listen closely, you may be able to hear a faint "SQUEE!" coming from the computer room during a few shounen-ai moments.

I wanted to put AFI's Love Like Winter video on this post, but embedding is disabled. :( You can click here to see it, though. It's beautiful!

PS. OMG. XDD I completely forgot about this video!!!

Wer bin ich?

Yesterday a speaker came to our school to preach 'abstinence' to us.
I roll my eyes and wish I was somewhere else 'cuz I've heard this speech many, many times:
1) My mother
2) Summer camp
3) Silver Ring Thing (*cough* My hands get dry in the winter.)
4) SWARM (youth group)
5) Yesterday

Afterwards Plushie gave me a random high-five. XD

Then when I got home, Fetus IMed me, calling me 'PUNK.' (I guess he was mad that I didn't give him any sea-salt ice cream, like I did Plushie. XD)


I want a Holga camera... I mean, look at this art!

That's all for now, folks!

Censorship, and Why I Hate It.

Our school library removed all of the Stephen King books.
All of them.
They're censoring our library.

Apparently some parents complained of these books. I don't know a whole lot, just what my English teacher told us, but I'm glad that she did tell us.

I was really mad when I heard about this. We deserve to choose the books we read! If somebody's parents (or somebody) finds any book inappropriate, then they don't have to read them. But don't make everyone else suffer! Don't tell us what we can and can't read!

I told a friend about this censorship going on, and her response was, "I'm not surprised." Then changed the subject.
What?
Am I the only one who's infuriated by this? How can anybody be okay with this? When I told my father about what my English teacher told us, and he couldn't believe it. "But it's Stephen King... It's not like it's even Anne Rice or anything!" And every few minutes of silence (we were in the car) he would express his disbelief again...
I suppose that I could see their reasons if they removed Anne Rice's books, but I would NOT be okay with it.

It makes me think of an episode of Kino no Tabi-- my favourite, in fact. In short, Kino (the main character, a traveler) visited a country of books. She was told that she could trade in a book at their huge library for any book she wished! How wonderful! Yet, when she arrived there, the library was full of resource books: encyclopaedias, medical books, textbooks... When she asked the librarian where all the storybooks were, she was told that all books have to go through the "critics." Any book that they disapproved of never reached the public.

The censorship at my school is not nearly this bad-- but it has the same effects. We are not "allowed" certain books, because a group of people believe we should not read them.

And it pisses. Me. Off.

I feel like I should do something about this-- but what? I'm not really a take-charge person. A follower, not a leader, right? Writing this post has let out a little steam, but I'm not nearly satisfied. I don't want to be all talk, but I honestly have no idea what I should do. Maybe if I can get more people on my side, we can do something about this. Or not... Honestly, I have no idea. At all.

All I know is this: censorship is wrong.
