Apocrypha

So here's stuff that I do not need/want since I already own too many of it:

• Perfumes: I have at least five nearly-full bottles. NO PERFUMES
• exception: Eau My by George Takei or Fame by Lady GaGa 
• Blank notebooks: when I started writing creatively, I kept asking for these consistently. Now I have a bunch, so I want some time to fill them out. I'm only adding this to the list half-heartedly, since a blank book (especially bound in leather!) won't be as unwelcome as an agenda since it doesn't have an expiration date on when to use it. Essentially I still love blank books to write in!
• Chocolate: unless it's DARK chocolate WITH CHILI, which I love. It's not that I dislike milk chocolate, but I don't eat it as enthusiastically as dark chocolate. 
• Also assorted chocolate organs are good 
• Chocolate skulls are also good
• No more coin purses. PLEASE D:

And if you're looking at this list for ideas, I wouldn't say no to:

• An ice cream cone
• bubble tea
• sushi
• pho

AM I IN SLYTHERIN OR RAVECLAW THEN???

:(

I AM MOST PRODUCTIVE WHEN DOOM IS IMMINENT

I have to write this down before I forget: winter holidays will be Director Appreciation month.

I will go over the filmography of Ralph Bakshi, Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick, talk about the movies I have seen, the movies I want to see and why they are awesome in their own way.

A break from studying

A rather long break -_-

After watching many Psych experiment videos, I believe I have come across the most wrong argument in the history of wrongness. It's gonna be hard to top this guy!

"I am standing up for my morals. Why do you defend injustice & immorality? When a couple is homosexual, they are denying someone in the world a partner. I am sure that somewhere out there, there is a girl with a crush on some homo guy, & now her dreams are crushed. I can hardly see how you can justify homosexual relationships, when they do not procreate, thus creating a sinkhole is society. The government has less people to tax and & society ages. Look at Europe as an example. Faggot"

I was going to link to the guy's youtube channel, but that would be giving the moron more traffic, so no. I'm beginning to suspect he is a troll, which restores my faith in humanity (sort of). For more restoration watch the video!

Calm your tits

So I've calmed down since I wrote the last post. Put things into perspective. Still sad, but at least not really Bleak City, Depression Town.

Taken a sober outlook on the situation since yesterday. Dancing Jesus helped.

I FAIL AT EVERYTHING FOREVER

So because I am a hopeless waste of space it turns out I have managed to fuck up my life to a level even I thought previously unachievable.
In essence, if I don't start killing myself with work RIGHT NOW, the future looks so bleak suicide starts to sound rather reasonable.

Because I messed up so badly, even if I manage to pull the next few weeks off, the results will not be pretty.

And I don't want sympathy, I deserve verbal abuse.

I brought all of this down on myself even though I knew it was a bad idea from the start. So it's all my fault and the reek of failure will be forever on me and I deserve it.

So I plan to spend the next few weeks on my own Fortress of Solitude, only it won't be made out of ice (hopefully, I hate cold) and it won't be a castle, and Superman won't be there and there won't be any nifty gadgets.

The essential part is that I will be alone, working or yelling at myself for not working and failing everything

TL;DR VERSION:
Eltitere is having a brain spasm right now and would like to swear off the internet for good. Because I have no self-control, I are unlikely NOT stop checking my deviantArt comments because they're the only nice interaction I have with other human beings these days FOREVER ALONE

HOWEVER, If I DO NOT answer your comments, take this as a good sign!! I means I am actually working or dropped dead.

To maximize damage control, I will definitely won't be looking at my deviantWatch

Don't wish me luck, wish me self-control.

 ADDENDUM!!

THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING

THIS WOMAN

http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/strategy/graphic/letter/original

SOMEONE GIVE HER A PRIZE

Oh hai, it's me talking about about abortion again, what a surprise, no?

It's just so nice to find someone on the side of the Pro-Lifers who can honestly say that some of their people on their own group are stupid and insane.
I just wish more people saw it like she does: abortion is not an issue about loose women led astray by the devil in society. It's not something that will be resolved by making it illegal either.
If you have a problem with abortion, then you have to realize where the need for abortion comes from.
If you help prevent unwanted pregnancies, you prevent abortion.
If you block pregnant women and teenagers from entering a clinic, you're an idiot.

In other news, this has been a horrid weekend for me and it's NOT OVER YET.
I honestly feel like shit lately. I need a hug

 Exams are coming and I am NOT PREPARED

And Open Office is butchering all my rtf files.

I feel like I have no right to complain, since I have never been known for being a super-diligent student and people are telling me left and right what a messed-up person I am.

But when I complain, I don't expect people to do anything about it; I just wanted some shared sympathy. I usually sympathize with other when they complain to me...
Maybe I used up all my sympathy credits and everybody's fed up with me for not doing anything to improve my situation.

Argh, writing this is too depressing.
I can honestly say I am very tired, physically, mentally and emotionally right now.

But I don't want to make more excuses for myself to keep acting like a dumbass, so I'll stop writing this blog and get on to doing my homework :(

Manga Sutra/Futari Ecchi

In a rather random but happy find, I bought Manga Sutra in a used books event.

As the title would imply, it's a manga (or rather, a Japanese) version and distillation of the famous sex guide Kama Sutra.
Now most people think the Kama Sutra is porn and/or a guide to sex positions. And don't get me wrong, it is that to an extent.

But both the Manga Sutra and Kama Sutra are a guide to having good sex with your partner. It comes with helpful tips about positions and advice when to stop and how to try different stimulations so both of you can get off. I don't know about you, but despite the massive, massive amount of porn and sex guides available on the internet, very few of them actually focus on making both partners in a relationship happy. And as far as I know, none of them have helpful diagrams like the one below

I mean honestly, try typing "penis guide" on google and not getting millions of fun but completely unhelpful smut sites.

Manga Sutra takes complete advantage of it's visual medium to include diagrams like the one above, as well as types of breasts, erogenous zones, hymen shape, etc.
Unfortunately Japanese censorship does not allow pictures of genitalia (excluding shaded, un-sexy diagrams like the one above); so it's rather lacking on visuals of penes and labia. Kind of sad for a sex guide in my opinion. I have not finished reading all 37 volumes of it, but I'm pretty sure that without being able to depict genitalia, the author would have a hard time explaining how cleaning it is an important part of sexual health, including when and where to clean the male and female organs.

Also, neither the old Indian text or the rather modern Japanese one talk about gay relationships. Quelle surprise.

But this manga/guide does have a lot of good points. They talk about the importance of communicating with your partner and taking care of their needs while making them know you want your needs to be taken care of.
Its modern setting works to its advantage as they can talk about how ridiculous it is in the 20th century (when this was first published) for a man to tell his wife that she's required by law to have sex on request.
Despite the fact that the main couple is a married, monogamous couple; characters with several partners exist and they are not portrayed in a negative light. I find it charming that the first of these polyamorous characters introduced is a woman and she is not portrayed as a slut for having five boyfriends and losing her virginity before marriage. Rather open-minded for Japan!

As I said, I have not read this series to its entirety yet, so I don't know all the subjects it covers and how well it covers them. But I have high expectations.
I assume that they will talk about contraceptives and lubrication more. This was lightly touched on in the first two volumes, but I know for a fact there's a false alarm pregnancy later so they have to bring it up at some point. Otherwise I will be disappoint, especially for a series that focuses on heterosexual sex.
I also think that sex toys will come in at some point as well, since talk about masturbation and partner stimulation has not been lacking so far. Maybe a hint of how to play safe BDSM?

Either way, I'm glad I read this. Not that I will ever use this sort of advice because I'm a Forever Alone Permavirgin, thanks to living a liberal society, I knew a lot of the things the book stipulated; but I imagine this advice will be helpful to some people. Spread the word!
Manga Sutra is not your regular porn.

Final thoughts: so far I think all the sex scenes have been very male-oriented. This may change as the series goes on, but it's been rather flat on how women feel about sex.

Linking to my livejournal

Linking here to my livejournal, where I keep an archive of all my writings except perhaps this blog.

If you came from deviantart to read my smut, you're on the right track! deviantArt apparently has some pretty strict rules about what sort of porn is allowed in there, even though I HAVE read some pretty steamy pieces. Maybe the mods were asleep. I don't know. I'm definitely not going to report anybody, I think that sort of censorship is pretty stupid.

This double-non-direct linking to sexy writing should be enough for deviantart to keep being fooled into thinking I'm an upstanding citizen. I have yet to be reported for doing anything over there, so let's see how long that lasts!

A mature talk about Pornography

Personally I find that there is very little that one could truly label universally "disgusting". Every single person has his/her own different things that turn them on and it's foolish to expect there to be an universal standard.

So when it comes to works of erotica in deviantArt or any other art site, I think the only thing we should demand is for the work to come with a warning label so people who are not into that sort of thing can avoid it. That's I would not object to seeing a woman's vajay-jay (ASIDE: I honestly have a hard time using a word for this. "Pussy" is too informal and "labia" is too medical. I refuse to use the word "vagina" because it does NOT refer to a woman's genitalia, especially not her outer genitalia. Vagina is the birth canal, so you would need a flashlight to see it, it's not something anybody could catch a glimpse of if her panties fall down. While searching for an appropriate replacement, I found this website http://www.ineedanotherwordforvagina.com/words/all/ which somehow helped even less.) dripping wet on the front page. Someone drew it so other people could appreciate it, I don't have a problem with that.

The only sort of pornography I think should REALLY be banned from deviantart or anywhere else is anything truly non-consensual. That includes paedophilia and bestiality, since neither children nor animals can consent to sex in any possible scenario.

But even then there are several degrees of gray areas. Do we judge paedophilia based in your country's local laws about age of consent? Personally I don't think a sexual drawing of a 17-year-old is paedophilic in any way, but it is banned by deviantart standards regardless. 
I also don't think a drawing of two 12-year-old girls kissing is automatically wrong, because in context it can be completely innocent.
Even paintings or pictures of naked children don't have to be pornographic
Take a look at these two from the Victorian era and tell me they are "wrong" somehow

http://www.arthistoryarchive.com/arthistory/canadian/images/PaulPeel-After-the-Bath-1890.jpg

When it comes to animals, I'm pretty sure you've heard of "furries". Well, like paedophilia, there are also several degrees to measure it by. Human beings find it sexually arousing when other people are "exotic". This can mean that they are another race, or from another country or simply are different. There are styles of furry art that are simply taking a human being and making it exotic by adding fur or feather and simple animalistic features. However, at the bottom the base is still human, which is why I say the majority of furries are not actually sexually attracted to animals.
For example, take a look at this image
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8i9-nmyHYv4/Tl1wCs2JKZI/AAAAAAAAANc/1BCpinVwg-8/s1600/01.jpg

This creation is more human than rabbit. Every single characteristic designed to make her desirable; her breasts, her hips, her small thong, her basic anatomy; are completely human. None of her animal features are sexualized. 

I developed a level of tolerance for fetishes that don't attract me. If it's scat, waterworks, midget, etc. porn; I'm not interested. But I'm not going to rain on the parade of people that DO like it by complaining and trying to get it banned. As long as it's consensual, I just won't look at it.

NEXT TIME (hopefully): a feminist look at porn. Does it really hurt women? In what context does this happen?

I am Pro-choice

Those who know me well already are aware that I'm a very avid supporter of abortion.

It's a position I'm willing to defend and in more than one occasion I have gotten into some pretty serious arguments about the subject.
That said, my opinion is not set in stone and it has happened that my view on abortion is slightly changed after I debate with someone.

I think it's a really interesting topic to discuss and one worth thinking about, especially if you're at the age when you can vote to make abortion legal or illegal; restricted or not. Even more especially if you're sexually mature and sexually active, because there's a chance you will land yourself in a situation where you have to take a stance on abortion.

In any case, I pride myself in having done my research regarding child development, abortion procedure, abortion alternatives and the psychological impact of abortion (though the latter I'd love to know more about, I want to watch Lindsay Ellis' film!). I think I have a firm ground to stand on when I defend abortion, but I have always been willing to listen to the opinions of those who disagree with me.

That being said, I absolutely cannot stand pig-headed pro-lifers, in particular the religious ones.
See if you're going to defend a position that affects people who are NOT part of your religion; then you have to give me an argument good enough for non-believer. If your argument centers around this, then you're not only not doing a good job of defending your position, but you're giving it a reputation of being supported by stupid people. 

I have found a website that sums up everything I hate about poorly-defended pro-life arguments.
It's called Ten Retarded Reasons Why Abortion Scares Me, or at least it should be.
It has everything. Bullshit statistics about breast cancer? Check. Fear-mongering regarding botched abortions? Check. The use of religion as if a logical fact rather than a belief a limited number of people subscribe to? Check. Blame-pushing towards certified gynaecologists? Obfuscating explanation on why abortion somehow destroys the concept of family? Slut-shaming about sex in general? Triple check!
Added bonus: there's also a bit of homophobia thrown in, because apparently I didn't have enough reasons to think the whole list was naive, nonsensical and moronic.

Another thing that really rubs me the wrong way about pro-lifers is that 98% of them seem to come from USA and apparently think that theirs is the only country in the world with legalised abortion or the only one that matters.
Images like this one don't make me sympathetic to your cause, it just makes me think you have an awfully narrow world view. Also, you don't know anything about abortion, or even biology in general (and judging by the label, not even geography).

Abortion is available on request on at least 54 countries in the world, most of them in Europe. If we're going to discuss scientific facts and morality, then the argument applies to countries that allow abortions all over the globe, not just yours. Abortion is a global issue, just like women's rights.

And yet, I don't think all pro-lifers are stupid. People like this lady actually bring forth powerful arguments for their cause that make one think, even if you don't agree with them fully.

I honestly wish most pro-lifers would take a step back and think of how they portray themselves. I honestly think they have a moral point of view that is worth exploring, but most of the time you don't want to because of the way they express themselves.

I leave you with this ethics dilemma I found; to give something more to think about.
Rank the following examples on a scale of 1-10 as less or more morally justified (0 being clearly unethical, 10 being clearly ethical). Or, if you think abortion can’t be justified under any circumstance, rank the cases on the scale of 1-10 as more or less morally repugnant (0 being incredibly abhorrent, 10 being wrong, but not as wrong, relative to the other examples).

1) A pregnant woman will die if she doesn’t abort her 10-week-old fetus. The child suffers from some terrible condition, and will very likely die a painful death soon after birth, if he or she survives delivery.

2) A pregnant woman is considering aborting her 4-month-old fetus because she’s afraid that her abusive husband will leave her if she doesn’t. “You’re getting too fat,” he tells her. “Get rid of that thing or I’m leaving you.”

3) A pregnant woman thought she wanted a baby, but now that she’s 8 and 1/2 months pregnant, isn’t so sure. She’s questioning motherhood because she just won a Caribbean cruise on The Price is Right, and the boat leaves next week. “This baby’s awful inconvenient,” she thinks. “I can just abort this one, go on the cruise, and then get pregnant again when I get back.”

khk

UPDATE

Found two blogs with interesting views:

This one is my someone pro-choice

These two are by someone pro-life

I really had a lost of respect for the second one until the ending, where she says this

"If personhood depends on mental capacity, then I should have more rights than you."

So ALL pro-lifers are automatically more intelligent than pro-choicers by default? Nice job alienating your audience, lady :/

WHAT

So last night I had the weirdest dream I can remember. I don't know if it was because it was beer-induced or because I didn't sleep all week, or my brain is just fucking with me.

The annoying part about dreams is that you have to write about them as soon as you get up, otherwise you'll forget. So right now I will type what I do remember.

I was sitting with my friend Eli and arguing with him for the longest part of the dream. I don't know if were in the pub or the university or the table, but eventually I left with some friends and when I got outside it was a steep and heavily-vegetated field, probably where I took most of my ecology labs (which reminds me...I have a midterm for that soon, shit). As we were going down this hill I was having a lot of trouble getting my footing, so I looked down and saw a giant Pikachu.

I turned to point this out to my friend Jen, who loves Pikachu a lot; but when I looked again it turned out to be a person in a Pikachu costume and this person was taking it off.

And underneath this costume was the most hideous person I had ever seen. If you have ever seen Excalibur from Soul Eater, picture that, except it being a real person; it even had a top hat (underneath the Pikachu costume??).
I honestly don't know how to describe this person (not even the gender!); it's skin was grayish green, it had a unnatural long mouth with tiny teeth like an alligator, but it was oddly lumpy and fleshy. I don't even remember it if had eyes, but it was horrible.

When this creature turned I screamed involuntarily. Then I felt really bad because I thought for some reason this was a human being with feelings and I had just been really insensitive. I woke up at this point but fell asleep almost immediately and when I was dreaming again this creature was bearing down on my and I was doing my best to run scared shitless up the hill while trying not to be insensitive to other people's deformities. 

I think I screamed more than once before I woke up for good.

WTF IS GOING ON IN MY BRAIN
I'll be the last to know, probably.

I think the oddest part of this dream was how much I was screaming, because I'm not a screamer in real life (I yell a lot, but that different).

Quote

To quote the writer Anne Lamott: “It is a moral necessity that we not be forced to bring children into the world for whom we cannot be responsible and adoring and present. We must not inflict life on children who will be resented; we must not inflict unwanted children on society.”
Having sex is not an automatic consent or choice to become pregnant or become a parent.

Women should not have to be nuns in order to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
Having sex is not a contract to become a parent. If it were, it would always result in pregnancy and women would always choose to carry to term. Plenty of people have sex every day without wanting or hoping to conceive. This is about women’s bodily autonomy. As long as the fetus is a dependent part of the woman’s body, it is HER CHOICE what medical and life decisions she makes regarding her own body.
There are also plenty of women who have had kids that are terrible parents and their children suffer for it. But this society has a paternalistic fixation that a zygote supersedes an already born, adult woman. Unless you want to outlaw sex outside of marriage (and let’s not get into how wrongheaded it is to have a child in order to save a relationship), women will conceive without wanting to, or wanting to continue the pregnancy.
