Portrait of a Serial Winner, a really amazing article about Luis Suárez written just before the World Cup. I saw it on Reddit, and I think this is a good glimpse into the type of person Suárez might be.

Critique My Dick, courtesy of thistle_chaser, NSFW ofc. It's really interesting to see dick pics be critiqued as photographs! Though um seeing all those big penes has only reinforced my disgust at ever actually having sex myself...

Differences between BrEng and AmEng wrt sandwiches & other things on bread. This was interesting, especially since I felt like the BrEng expressions made more sense, despite having lived in the US for longer. (Although I was rather bad at, um, engaging with USAmerican culture.)

Today I discovered the existence of hair ratts...which explains a lot, really. I've been jealous of people with thick hair for a while, as mine is dreadfully thin, which means that I can't do any ~real~ traditional hairstyles. And I know that wigs have been around for forever, but I've always been convinced that a lot of people could do "big" hairstyles with only the hair on their heads, which has always seemed really unfair.

Well...the use of hair ratts makes a ridiculous amount of sense. It's an easy, free way of bulking up hair, so anyone could have done them...and it would still all be one's own hair. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna start collecting all my hair now so I can start making these. Hopefully this works, and I can do a ~real~ traditional hairstyle some day O_O

So the other day I saw this really large dark spot on the floor. Thinking that it was some rubbish, I went closer...and it moved.

I yelped. And then asked my father where the fly swatter was so I could kill the huge cockroach @_@

I totally didn't expect to yelp, though. I mean, I'm not afraid of insects in general, and I don't really fear anything. But I definitely didn't expect for it to be alive, and I guess the surprise got to me.

It reminds me of how my former landlady would try to scare me and make me jump or scream by suddenly getting close to me and making a loud noise....~_~

Brasil vs Chile is in extra time!!! And it's looking like they'll go to penalties....

May I just say how useful and awesome handkerchiefs are. I've made three so far, and today while I was out and about, I ate a peach and then found myself with peach juice on my hands with no running water in sight. Luckily I had a handkerchief on me, so I wiped my hand clean and then went to browse bric-a-brac at a charity shop. :D I need to make more, though, since my nose gets super runny during winter (the main reason I'm making them in the first place, because I don't want to continue to rely on disposable tissues for the rest of my life :P It's a never-ending expense! /miser). Hopefully I can begin on a new one tomorrow night during the Bremen vs Dortmund game XD

Also a bunch of Mesut fans started following me...I hope they read the part of the sidebar that said 'FC Bayern München', or they are going to be pretty disappointed soon, lol. :P And I have nearly 900 pics from the match against Belgium...

Have you guys seen this? XD



A pastiche of K-pop...that fails XD

Oh also while I'm linking stuff, Blackboards in Porn. lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

I don't often talk about my culture on here, but this is the sort of beauty I always envision when I think of it. (No, this is generally not what most people associate with my culture, but then, I've always been different.) This is the beauty I've waited for and wanted my whole life, and I would die to keep this alive.

I have a thread on helpbrazil2011 and am offering postcards, because I am the slowest fic writer ever and I can actually do postcards in a reasonable amount of time. Um. -____________- (Also if I owe you fic from help_pakistan, I am working on it. I am just the slowest writer ever :((((((((()

Same offer at qldfloodauction, though the starting bid is different. I should have upped the starting bid on the other one, um. :|||||||

I wish people who offer are in my (current) fandoms, though. The few who do, they already have super high bids. -_______________- sigh, why do I have to like the RPS fandoms with authors who barely participate in these things? :(
