茶色の木 秋に紅葉 美しい That probably isn't correct japanese at all but since I'm gonna be living there in 3 weeks time I thought I'd give it a go. Fail.

Je suis un artiste, motherf**ker

Love her or hate her, you can't help but admire her and the other people involved in making this episode of My Life On The D-List as she takes on bigotry and fights for gay marriage: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=B9IxKzHjlOM At first I was shocked when the gay youths didn't really know about Matthew Shepard then I realised they probably had enough to deal with (mormon parents). It was Kathy's mom Maggie (an irish-american catholic) crying during this ep that really got to me. EDIT: Other parts in Drew's post as it ruined my links and made them not work

I think I've rarely taken revenge on someone. If people are in the wrong or have been a **** to someone then rather than screaming at them, getting violent or trashing their stuff, even at times when I've been the most angry, I'll sit down and tell them calmly to their face what a **** they've been and that they need to think about what they did and apologise. It usually gets through to someone much better to see in your eyes that they've hurt you and screaming and yelling solves nothing. It just gets windows broken *rolls eyes at some people I know* As for when someone has done something and it isnt one of those things where you talk to them about it or someone you don't care about, then I tend to do what jamessavik does and bump them up to near the top of karma's list. There's usually nothing spiteful about it, it's just sometimes the best plan of action.

Ones that I saved because they made me do real life LOLs.

Happy Birthday! I had a google session for that story and came up with nothing. Perhaps its been deleted? Sorry that's not a very good present. So I made you a cake instead? But I couldn't send it you on here. Total mess trying to put it in the USB port...

WTF is probably the only thing that somes that up. Horrible story. Horrible woman. I think I'm in shock, I have no idea what to say. :|

Theres a site just for uploading podcasts to called http://www.podomatic.com/ and on it you can get your own page and all that stuff. Of course they try and make you pay more to go pro but my friend used to get thousands of listens a week on his and he never needed to upgrade so I guess that'd be ok. Good luck with whatever this project turns into!

Linda is a right little homewrecker even if she is a widow. Pepper will bounce back.

I always thought gene therapy was one of the most amazing things when I was studying biology. Seeing how it can be used in treating cystic fibrosis as an example was something I really excited about - there's something quite satisfying about the thought of using a strain of a virus to infect people with a cure. Gene therapy is still pretty new but yeah maybe one day something like this could work. *fingers crossed*

When you get time, I think this should be the first episode with the 6 parts down the side. Here! All the other Torchwood: Children of Earth parts are on that guys' channel. Just be prepared to join the devastation festival we have going on here

If that is even slightly hinting at saying the "younger generation" hasn't faced any sort of discrimination, hatred and stereotyping you have then honestly that's being ridiculously self-indulgent. To say that that is the reason why some younger posters are enjoying the film, as though we're oblivious and uneducated on the quite tragic past faced by many and still some today is just dumb. The films childish, immature and full of dick jokes. If anything that is why you may be seeing a pattern. As for the film: It's obviously not oscar material, but i've seen worse attempts at comedy.

Voted. He's in third at the moment.

Sorry at lack of spoiler tags everyone. Everyones had pretty much the same reaction. Most fans aren't happy and are counting down the days to comic con so they can ask RTD what he was thinking. Apparently he's got series 4 layed out, it's just upto the bbc whether to renew it or not (which they most likely will based on the ratings). Wonder what on earth he's got planned, probably a new show with just Gwen (who i quite liked this series but if it's just her it'll be dire). I think it was an incredible piece of television, and obviously he wanted to provoke this reaction (of utter outrage) but I do think the show will have a hard time from now on.

Don't. Spent ages having a genuine imploding session. While it was awesome and one of the best bits of TV I'd watched in ages because of the way it made me react but at the same time I feel cheated by the events and the fact it had only been 3 episodes since the last 2 main characters were killed off. I know it was never a happy show, but still, I think it's managed to alienate its fanbase this way. It's only a show, "get over it", still my reaction to it's relatively tame compared to the backlash I've read. GRRR.

*blushes* Thanks. Seriously though, I'm only allowed to use the happy yellow mug because I will blatently break the china. I'd probably just breathe on it and it'd disintegrate Then again more tea fits in my mug than in the china cup. So I suppose I win.

Ok what flash/internet games do you like? *Shameless advertising* Here's one i made earlier... I-Puzzle

Yes! The sequel gains bonus points for me for having the line "GAME OVER MAN! IT'S GAME OVER!" when they get stranded. That creeped me out so bad. Didn't help that later that week my TV turned on by itself in the middle of the night and I hid under the covers for 10 minutes till I was sure there was no creepy girl in my room.

Maybe it's the use of the term "acting" as though they're putting on an act? I guess by just looking at the 2 words together it would involved someone not being themself. I understand why you could maybe be rubbed the wrong way by it but I think it's just the way language has evolved and it has come to be the common term to describe a gay guy who has all the stereotypical interests and mannerisms of a straight male. I personally don't take offense to the term as all my interests are deemed by society as "straight" and not gay. I'm "straight-acting" and those who would say otherwise is because I ocassionally "act gay" when I'm in certain moods/around certain people (meh I'm their only non-hetero friend so I'm very tongue in cheek about it). Straight acting as a term could be construed to be some effeminate gay guy butching up and pretending hes a mans man who drinks beer instead of cosmos, but really it's just a time saver for us modern day lazy folk who find writing "I personally find most attractive, a homosexual male who has the mannerisms and interests of what society perceives as those most commonly found in heterosexual men". Straight-acting isn't an offensive term, just a compact one that maybe gets lost in translation.

Everyone's pretty much said everything that's useful. So i'll just have to go and throw WII FIT out there. When real sports are too much effort, you can just stand in your room leaning from side to side and findng out that it's actually somehow beneficial. Plus it weighs you and does your BMI (which is hilairious to sneak on and change your friend's heights to like 3ft giving them a BMI of 82).

TUNE! However at the moment the best song and video on youtube is probably: This Epic Win!

Lol i love eurovision. So much comedy every year. How did that song win?! It hurts my ears. I think our entry, Jade has a good voice, I just HATE the song they gave her. Andrew Lloyd Webber needs to realise eurovision isn't a musical and she shouldn't sing about 'MY TIME'. It was just cringe. We were kinda hoping we'd get Nil Points again just so that they'd realise how bad the song he wrote for her was. Moldova is comedy gold. Loved it. Sweden was scary. It seems that so many countries go for the vocalist in white and the backup dancers in black. But her singing either WAY too high or WAY low was just scary. Greece was pretty hilairious. Apparently if you jump lots and slide on conveyer belts then you can be really successful. Personally I think the song that summed up eurovision with the right amount of hilarity, cheese, and tune-that-won't-get-out-of-your-head was Finland's entry But for some strange reason it came last?!

We have a friend doing something similar. We'll call the friend H. And the guy can be...D (D for ...a word beginning with d that you can probably guess ) He was with D for a year so obviously they were really close. However D always gave us (H's friends) a very bad impressions, he'd stare at you angrily, come over and cut between you when talking to H (because apparently the whole world was trying to take him) and other pretty manipulative things. Then one day D writes H a letter saying "sorry we can't be together anymore because our views on...vegetarianism and prostitution are just too different". WHAT?! H is devastated. The next day D rings "I love you". A few days later D rings "Happy one year anniversary. its a shame its like this" :| WHAT?! As much as we helped H through it and concvinced him he was better off without him, in the long run you can't do anything about it. At this point we all hate D but then recently H has started going out with D again saying "i know i'm being an idiot, and i know i'm going to get hurt, but i want to do this" and unfortunately we have to respect that. D decided to "be there" for H after our friend died and would often take H away in private and not let us speak to him . He's a jerk but we've all made it clear about that and H knows that too. But it's still his decision and so as a friend, you kinda just have to grin and bear it, and then pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong. *sigh...*

I think after reading all these analogies...I've gone vegetarian.
