If you want to add me, please drop me a comment. ♥ Unless I already know you from somewhere anyway, of course.

I'm not very active anymore, but I do check LJ sometimes and, every so often, I even update! Feel free to nudge me here - or anywhere else; links are at the side.

SCREW concert! I only have merch photos, since I didn't want to have to use a locker if they checked my bag and saw a camera. But, as I said before: they didn't check. XD

( Puri, police and SCREW!Collapse )

I'm so sorry for the length! It was just so good and I couldn't shut up about it. :P I really hope to see them again, be it in Japan or in Europe or both. Preferably both. Yes. Now to become a Siesta member! And a big thanks to the German girls who so kindly helped us out. :)

Next update: the indie concert of the next day and perhaps the day after too. I'll see how long the first part is. :P

This is a play about the trial concerning Prop 8 in 2010. It's actually very interesting and I like the cast. ♥



EDIT: Now that I've finished it, I have to say I love it. It's both serious and funny, but also very touching, and the cast as well as the content are really good. And possibly very necessary.

People in London and Birmingham all over the freaking UK (just heard there are riots in Liverpool too): please be safe!

These riots are disgusting and if I hadn't seen photos of the situation, I'd find it hard to believe this is really going on - and even more that it's this bad. I hope the situation will be under control soon and that the rioters will be punished properly. And that it won't spread any further. D:

For those who don't know what's going on: what I understood from Tumblr, Facebook and some quick BBC scanning is that police accidentally shot a man to death they thought was armed. This happened three nights ago. There was a peaceful protest and then suddenly... this happened. Apparently it started off as people being pissed off because of lack of information and then others decided to join in for looting purposes. It's horrible and sickening. To give you an idea of what's going on:



There were shops downstairs and homes upstairs. :/

( Some more under the cutCollapse )

I've heard stories about a children's hospital and a theatre with a full house being targeted as well, but in Birmingham. I haven't seen any confirmation on news websites, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. :/

I understand that the police might have not acted correctly in the shooting. But there is no reason for this. I love London so much and I hate to see how it has changed since last time I was there. I honestly didn't expect this to happen there.

As I said: stay safe, people. ♥

One disaster is over and the next one rears its ugly head. This time it was Japan.

Twitter, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters, NHK and Kyodo News are currently keeping me updated. It's horrible and sad and, quite honestly, fucking terrifying. The images make me cry, but they also give me goosebumps. The fact that this earthquake led to tsunamis, and that even the US is affected by this (and who knows where else it will go) shows how huge this is. I don't pray because I don't believe in God, but I've started to think prayer is not solely Christian anyway. I believe in something, that should be good enough. And I'm definitely keeping Japan and any other country or area that is affected by this in my mind and in my heart.

I hope everyone I know and love is safe, and that everyone you know and care for is too. The same goes for everyone I don't know. Anyone out there who is not safe, who is scared or hurt, or who lost someone: I know you'll never read this, but you're not alone, and you're strong enough to get through this. The worst is hopefully over now - fingers crossed - but I'm going to continue following the news to see what will happen.

Scarily enough, last time I made a similar post (about Australia) I mentioned Belinda (bubbalooee9), who lives in Australia. She's going to Japan in less than two weeks, so I'm incredibly thankful she's not there yet, but stop scaring me, woman! ♥ When you're over there, you better send me a message or text or whatever every day, several times a day, because I'm worried enough as it is.

Japan, Hawaii, the US West Coast, any other place that is currently in danger: we love you, and please stay safe. ♥

What you can't see in this picture: my socks are also purple, and I'm wearing one purple bracelet and another one with a purple charm. ♥

Not as bad as my Poupee, though, who's wearing all the purple I could find. XD

(Other than that I'm still working on my dissertation! And I have the first part of my root canal treatment tomorrow; so excited.)

Quite bad that it's even needed, actually. XD To those who don't know: I'm bi. And have a girlfriend. Not that it matters, but it'd be useless to make this post without coming out myself. XD I usually don't officially do it, because no-one will go: "Hi, I'm *name* and I'm straight!" So why should people of other sexualities have to? (Worst thing about "coming out"? It never ends.)

Hopefully one day days like this aren't needed anymore, and things like gay pride will be a thing of the past. I still believe that in the future everyone will simply accept it. They did it in ancient times, so I don't see why we can't do it again.

And to anyone (apparently including many of my relatives; lovely to know) who thinks it's a bad thing:

I can't wait for these guys to be back. ♥ (Gif not mine; found it randomly, but let me know if you know who made it.)

Also: hello, Kelsey! ^^

Stole this from ai4jui.

Tell me your secret, or just your fear. Or perhaps who it is you have a crush on. Tell me anything about yourself no one else knows. I will not judge, nor will I tell. Your secret will be mine to hold. And I will not speak a word.
