Hah, nothing I try to do ever works... No, wait, that's not right. It's just that I never do what I actually intend to do. Do you know what I mean? For example today I intended to finish the last chapter of my Wolf's Rain fanfic, but then friends of my ma came and wanted me to play "Doppelkopf" with them, and then, well, I did. [I had to learn the rules and everthing, but at the end I was third (out of five). :) Yay!]

Anyway, you could think when they went home I got around to do it, but somehow I just didn't. o.O Instead I first drew some fanart and then coloured old outlines which I had hanging around on my computer. o.O
My subconscience must really hate this fic...

At least I got around to draw/paint again... *sighs*

If you know who this is supposed to be, I'll give you an imaginary cookie! XD

And, [livejournal.com profile] isegrim_chan, I am kinda working on this gift fic thingy... o.O Just be patient, it could take months with my tempo...

Hmm, yeah four is pretty much. :) But I'm quite content with the one I have! XD I think actually talking about slash is way funnier than just chatting about it in forums and such. ^^ You get funny stares! XD
And now that I think about it, I guess most of my friends know that I like yaoi, they just don't know I like slash. Which is kinda funny. My friends all like shonen-ai/yaoi themselves (they introduced me to it! They were all drooling over X cause it was so gay), but somehow they hate it when "those fangirls" slash characters of who they swear they're not gay! Uhm, yeah... o.O? I guess they've changed somehow...
I'm not afraid of something like that either, I just don't bother to tell them. ^^ And I don't think that everyone know everything about me, so I guess it's okay! XD
(I have to admit it, I don't like Spongebob! XD I mean, I don't hate it either, it's just that well... I watch it when I'm bored or something but I still don't like it. XD Even after it was "OMG KULT!!" ain't I a non-comformst? ;) (The socks thing actually is pretty cool! XD)

Oh, believe me, I'd be perfectly happy without any of my RL friends knowing, I don't mind them being aware of it (anymore, since the only person I ever really worried about finding out was sis who turns out to be one of those fangirls herself - and a much more ferocious one at that, I might add XD - was the first to ever approach me about it... and that turned out pretty well, I'd say :), it's just that I don't really get anything from their being an 'insider' on my 'secret'... 'cause 'cept for sis and first her, now mutual friend of the both of us, none of my confidantes is into slash/yaoi. Sis and friend are just a tad bit too 'forceful' in their adoration of it, so usually I try to keep away from them if they are in one of their yaoi induced seizures o.O; Thus, I'm still stuck with forums... -_- Not that I'm complaining, I'm really grateful for them, especially since you get to know lots of great people (like you for instance :D)... however, I think it'd be so cool sometimes, having at least ONE RL bud who likes yaoi, too, it's just like you said: We do it all for the funny stares! ;)

Hope you don't mind me being so blunt about it, but what the hell's wrong with those friends of yours? I mean, they definitely point liking yaoi and X (it's simply X-cellent (... um. Yeah, sorry 'bout that... -_-;) ^^, I'm not much of a Clamp fan, but that series and Tokyo Babylon of course... *le sigh*), but how about some (artistic) freedom of thought and imagination? Moreover, it's not only slash/yaoi fans who break free from canon, there's gotta be tons of het pairings that are not even remotely hinted at in the series out there as well, and I don't see how portraying certain characters as gay is any different than making them hetero. After all, who gets to have the last word in in the matter? If it's just not their cup of tea, that's perfectly alright, nobody forces them to, but that's no reason for being that anal about other's uptakes on the subject and not being able to tolerate their respective opinion. I dunno, it just doesn't make ANY sense to me... ?-?
(YAY, another member to join our humble club of Spongebob-defiance!! :D Me, I wouldn't go as far as to actually call it hate, I watched a couple episodes after returning from the "Studienfahrt" last fall so as to be able to make myself a picture of it and surprising as it sounds, it wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated, but still... I just don't like it and I think that all this hype is way over the top! That's what annoys me the most, all those mindless morons lost in worship of a sponge of all things... sounds almost funny like this, though... XD)

Hmm, yeah, true. I guess it doesn't really matter if your friends know or not, if you don't want to or can talk about it with them.
Uhm, and what's this "forceful" supposed to mean? o.o;
Yeah, forums are cool. :) And it's a fantastic place to get to know nice people! XDD (I just have to steal your statement: Like you! :D)

Uhm, no, I don't mind you being so "blunt" about it, cause it's exactly what I think. It's just... I really don't get it. But I wonder about it often and I have two main theories (actually I've more, but I'm too lazy to type them down... ^^;) and they're both are absolutely childish.

First: They liked all this yaoi stuff when they were younger. I mean we all started reading manga when we were about... 12? And that was when they just thought yaoi was "cool" cause it was new and something they didn't know until then, and of course it shocked people, that was quite funny too. (I guess that's why I started liking it as well, or at least something simliar to that, I can't really remember. Or maybe I just loved how sad it was, I'm all for tragedies.) But then they "grew up" and... then I don't really know? Changed their minds? I don't know... Uhm, we could now assume that they know think that all that "slash/yaoi" stuff is childish cause they liked it when they were younger. (Yes, I know I'm not making much sense here...)

Second: This has to be the stupidest and at the same time the most likely theory. Well, where to start? Not long ago they were friends with a girl who absolutely loathed yaoi/slash and told everyone how disgusting she thought it was. Then they had a stupid argument with her (about something really, really stupid, I can't even remember) and started hating her. Then this ex-friend started LOVING yaoi and I guess then they just started hating it along with her. Uhm... did you understand that? I don't know if I explained it well enough...

Talk about childish? It's not making ANY sense to me either, really. @_@

(YEAH! That makes two of us! XD One should tell them that they worship a sponge, maybe they'd understand how funny they act! XD I mean, I don't care who watches Spongebob, it just seems strange to me...)

And please ignore if my English is off today. School's making me stupid...

Oh, and that I don't forget it, Tokyo Babylon has to be one of the most tragic manga in existence.

I meant, they just tend to kinda get carried away with their fangirly-ness... I know there's a LOT of (fangirl) people who are like that, and that's okay, I actually rather like myself a bit of that kind of behavior when conversing with people via the net and so on (if it isn't overdone, that is, think along the lines of "OMG XXX I LUV XXX isnt he amzin he s amazin ishe not?he's mine an i gonna mary him on day blah blah blah..." X( which is just plain annoying and perfectly disgusting!)... however, I don't need to actually EXPERIENCE it first hand, getting jostled and jolted around in a fit of pure, unadulterated and uninhibited fangirl-squeafest o.O;;; Believe me, it's gets reeeally frightening and pretty scary sometimes...
Yay for forums :D (... at least they safe- kind of lol)

Well, whatever the reasons and whether they're childish or not, the being fine with yaoi yet loathing slash thing still stays pretty much a mystery to me... though if it really IS your second guess and they now hate yaoi as well, it might at least explain that much, though it's rather stupid and very silly regardless :(

(tried that once, didn't work... ah well, if it makes them happy *shrugs* I don't care XD)

Hey, you read the stuff I wrote last, er, night? ;) ... enough said...

Oh yeah, that it is, and the continuation in X makes it all the more tragic...

That kind of fangirly-ness is just annoying. :( I try to avoid it whenever I can.

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever understand it.

What stuff? @_@

*sighs* Yeah, the drama... ;__;

You can say THAT again! Honestly though, the two of them aren't THAT bad... most of the time... but still... *cough*theyscaremesometimes*cough*

Me neither.

Er, for instance, all those comments and of course my entry on that night ^^;
