...WTF.

Well, there goes my good mood for the day.

NYTimes, the bastion of quality reporting, reported on the gang-rape of an 11 year-old girl in Texas that's led to charges against 18 high-school boys so far - all well and good so far, right? Shit like this NEEDS publicity to raise awareness.

Only problem is, they repeated - without refutation or critical commentary - the claims that the girl brought the rape on herself because of the way she was dressed.

Choice Quotes (No cut b/c everyone needs to see this - DEAL.):

“It’s just destroyed our community,” said Sheila Harrison, 48, a hospital worker who says she knows several of the defendants. “These boys have to live with this the rest of their lives.” As opposed to the victim, who's gonna bounce back lickety-fucking-split, right?

Residents in the neighborhood where the abandoned trailer stands — known as the Quarters — said the victim had been visiting various friends there for months. They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said. TOTALLY BEGGING FOR IT.

THIS IS RAPE CULTURE, PEOPLE.

Now, what's being said and done in this community is bad enough, but the NY Times should be fucking ashamed of themselves right now.

( Here's how to contact NYT: )

... Yeah. I'm just going to sit here and try not to bash my head through the wall...

The Keyblade Order

Okay, so some of you may know and some of you might not, but I'm starting an AU Kingdom Hearts Pan Fandom RP.

And well... there's enough work done on it to start letting people know and start spamming the heck out of places to advertising it. So spamming location number 2, confirmed:

And Here's the tentative ad for RP!S and app_this_plz.

Chrome

Google Chrome is officially the awesomest browser this side of awesome since it has LJ Juggler.

Other wise known as LJ Login for Chrome.

And it loads so fast compared to firefox it's like... Sonic running through something wide and long or something. I feel like I did when I first got broadband.

Back from Portland.

Miss girlfriend.

Heads up

Guys, if I'm sounding kinda down in chat for the next couple of days it's because I just lost my job, after having hours cut this past week and a half.

So, yeah, might not be in the best of moods today, although I should be better than when this happened with Wal-mart over a year ago.

*I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

*I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

*I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

*I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

*We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

*I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

*I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

*I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

*I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

*We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

*I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

*I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

*I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

*I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

*I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

*I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

*I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

*I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

*I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

*I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia/transphobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.

Bought my plane tickets for the trip to Oregon later this month today!

Pingbacks

Jumping on the "No crossposting comments on this journal to Facebook/Twitter" bandwagon. Especially if it can stupidly be done on flocked posts.

Personally, I think I may be deciding to start making a personal journal for Dreamwidth and just crosspost everything to there.

Random Stuff

I have come under the realization that I need more icons to fit with this icon space I have. Probably should take some more from fandoms I'm in now. ~~Evangelion and Kamen Rider W~~.

Also, finally started seriously planning that Kamen Rider/Evangelion fusion fic... and it's going to be 52 'episodes'. And two 'movies'.

Damn it brain, why do you do this to me. We haven't even finished Broken Dreams yet. And I still have that third draft of the novel to do ~~along with giving it a title besides 'the novel'~~.

Oh yeah, I also have a ton of books that I need to read too.

Your result for Roleplayer Test!...

The Soap Opera Star

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Sexual

You're the Soap Opera Star, the center of a massive web of characters -- and more importantly, character relationships. You roleplay mainly for character dynamics, and romantic character dynamics at that: if you didn't start playing with a ship in mind, you're definitely shipping now that you're playing. But it's not random relationships that appeal to you. You like your plots! It's just that most or all of them are personal in nature and revolve around either getting characters together or developing relationships once they've formed. But if given a plot like that, you're a determined, reliable RP partner. However, of all roleplayers, you're likely to be the ones most emotionally attached to your character and to fall in RP-love with the players of your ships.

Really now? Really? Well, okay, there was Takeru/Chika in Dive.

And I guess Yuka/Ash in Dive.

And Hitomi/Sasami in Dive...

Will/Matt, but that was canon...

And Relena/Asuna.

Peter/Arika.

And Lillian/Chris.

... Okay, okay, I get it.

My book's rough draft is now officially finished, just shy of 80,000 words.

I feel ridiculously acomplished and proud.

Also, I'm scared, since the impossible has happened and I have actually FINISHED a long term writing project.

Of course, stupid stupid brain...

Dear Brain,

Stop trying to think up ideas for making an RPG game in RPG Maker VX. First off, I'd have to learn RUBY to be able to do much more than the basic functions and use the scripting system to make it unique.

In case you forgot, this is what killed the drive to do that the last two times.

Besides, we have a novel we're supposed to be finishing. I know you remember it, we just wrote ten pages while waiting for the ride home after work today.

I just downloaded the Amazon Kindle app for the PC.

I already have 5 book samples and 10 public domain books downloaded.

I think my book isn't going to be finished anytime soon.

Final Fantasy XIII GET!

Copy of Final Fantasy XIII was delivered like, five seconds ago! I'm giddy as all heck.

Still struggling with trying to decide if I should buy the Heavy Rain, Infamous, and both Mass Effect Soundtracks, but hey. Also not sure if I'm going to be playing FF13 near constantly tonight or if I'll try to get more of my second playthrough of Heavy Rain done.

Oh yeah, if any of you who read this and haven't heard it yet, Heavy Rain for the PS3 is awesome. Anyone with a PS3 should go buy it.

Lying quiz lies. It must. XD

New Year

Yay for 2009 going the hell away. This year sucked. Completely. Except for some of the games that got released. And even then, they don't exactly made the year good.

So anyway, New Year's resolutions:

1. Finish that book of mine. (50,000 words or so into it, so yay!)

2. Finish Broken Dreams.

3. Try that fiction posting/game reviews/gaming thoughts blog idea, and attempt to make some money with my massive amounts of free time. Maybe post my book on there since I think the auidence is probably limited. Would depend on if I could get Google Ads on it and promote the heck out of it or not.

So yeah, here's hoping 2010 is better than 09.
