This is how I feel at the moment. Just felt like sharing.
New posts soon.. Weekend *_*

Callizona and Callica

I didn't talk about this particular topic on my blog until now because I thought nobody would like it but now I've realised nobody reads my blog anyway, so who cares? :)
This post is going to be dedicated to my favorite 'ships' 

As you may or may not know, shipping is taking two characters from various books, tv shows or movies and  imagining them in a romantic or  (rarely) platonic relationship. Usually people write fanfics about them, make videos or draw them perhaps. Most popular way is reading/writing fanfiction.

I'm not going to mention my Harry Potter ships because there are too many of them to fit in this post but I'll be talking about Grey's Anatomy. Glee is another quite large topics so that will also be reserved for a separate topic. Also Downton Abbey, my latest obsession.

My ultimate favorite couple on Grey's Anatomy is Callizona aka Callie/Arizona but also Callica (Callie/Erica)

Callie and Arizona absolutely adorable together. Not to mention hot.. Very, very.. hot. Erm. Right. Getting off topic.. but let's talk about Callica first since I like the chronological way better.

How Callica happened:

Callie (the brunette) was dating only guys for about four seasons until Dr. Hanh came along. Erica Hanh is a cold, professional work-a-holic but somehow over time, Callie and Erica became good friends. Mark (McSteamy - blond guy who had sex with almost every single woman in the hospital) was teasing about a threesome and they were laughing about it and how he couldn't handle them. Right then, Erica leaned in and kissed Callie. Mark watched in awe, Callie was utterly shocked and Erica walked away casually. A few days later, this scene happened. Which I find hilarious every single time I watch it.

And then this adorableness..

Which resulted in this: (I'm still laughing, hilarious scene.)

I'm sorry for all the links but I tried uploading a video so it would be easier but screw it.

Anyway, after time Erica and Callie become a couple, blah blah..

Callie was very shocked by Erica's confession and she avoided her for a while but the writers of the show decided there was no chemistry between them so they wrote Erica out of show. :/
They had the final kiss in the parking lot and then Erica walked away.. because she was transferred to a different hospital.

Long story short, Erica left and Arizona came along.

First kiss^

Callizona blossomed into an adorable, perfect relationship. The two of them are simply amazing but combined together.. I don't have the words to describe.. the amount of perfection and awesomness they are. 

After almost 4 seasons, Callie and Arizona have been through a lot. Arizona left Callie and went to Africa, then she came back and Callie was pregnant with Mark's baby, then Callie asked Arizona to marry her and they crashed with their car and Callie slipped into coma... but they are safe and sound now which is good :) The writers know better than killing off one of them. The Callizona fanbase is quite big.
Enough talking.

Perfection.

Age and it's importance in online chatrooms

I understand I haven't been ranting much recently. Perhaps an occasional LGBTQ post here and there but let's face it.

I've been lazy.

Thank Merlin there's the no-social-life-Friday to take care of the problem. :)

The age rant:

Since I've got my own computer.. (age 9-11?) I peered into almost all corners of internet and searched the shit out of it. Of course, not literally because that would be quite impossible and also disgusting if you look at it that way. I 'discovered' something that.. Okay I can't really say 'discovered', perhaps just came to terms with..? Erm, realised? Became aware? Forget it.

Here's the thing. (Yes, finally..)

I chat a lot with people over the internet. Penpals, strangers, friends.. 

It all started when I found a pretty cool penpals site and simply started meeting people. (About two years ago..) I had a profile on which there was information about me and blah, blah.. People knew my real age.

All was good until I started chatting with strangers on Omegle or other non-brand chatroom..

You see, if I said I was actually 14-15 people would simply disconnect, not bothering to stay to chat.

If I said I was at least 2 years older, there was a completely different situation. Which raises another question, did those people stay because they thought I was mature enough to have a conversation with or did they just want my 'skype', 'cam' or whatever else.. 

As I was saying, I mostly go on Omegle because I want to meet people, learn about different lifestyles and cultures. I know it's quite hard to find another person on e.g. Omegle that wants to have a proper, decent and intelligent conversation about some recent worldwide news or perhaps just is up for a clean chat. 

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not all that bloody innocent. I wrote and read so much  of smut* and PWP** until now. Oh and the roleplaying.. Oh man. I'm pretty sure I have the mind of a typical teenage, hormonal boy. Perverted and Twisted. Fuck yeah! FTW! Well I'm kinda getting off the subject here.. xD

Erm, right. It's just that sometimes I would really love to chat with someone across the world and perhaps share experiences and compare lifestyles but the second I mention I'm a freshman in High School people assume I'm another typical, wasting-his-bloody-life-drinking-and-smoking-failing-in-school-etc teenager. Or perhaps not even a teenager, a child. Well technically I'm a teen but I don't think of myself as an adult or something but that doesn't mean I can't carry a conversation. I might not be all grown up but I'm not stupid  or less worthy than you. I'm just a less experience human. That's how I see it.

A funny thing happened to me recently.. I was chatting with some 16 year old Australian guy through Omegle. I told him honestly, that I was 15 and Croatian. After a few min of talking, he said:
"There is no way you're 15, your English is too good for a person who's first language isn't English."
With that said, he disconnected before I had the chance to reply. I chuckled at that. (I would say that I laughed but I seriously didn't. I just raised an eyebrow and let out an amused chuckle. Yeah. I know. Reality hitting you hard.) Well this anecdote doesn't just compliment my English skills *blushes heavily* but I find it ironic. When I'm completely honest with other people it back fires on me. Does that mean that if I have to chat with people and be honest about my age I hev tu rajt lajk dis? Bcuz dis iz nto hepiining.

Translation: "I have to write like this? Because this is not happening."
Seriously, I worked bloody hard on my spelling and grammar and to throw it all away because someone doesn't believe me that I am telling the truth? Well fuck you then.

Words you probably didn't know the meaning of:
*Smut - Erm, erotic fanfiction

**PWP - Porn without Plot aka Plot? What Plot?

Hey! Don't judge. I can bet my ass that all of the guys reading this watched more porn than I read and wrote.. :P
I don't know for females.. *cough* same *cough* Well roughly at least.
Oh god.. I seriously need to delete this blog when I have kids. Just.. Yeah.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Happy birthday 77th birthday Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews's birthday was 2 days ago (First of October) and I wanted to have a whole post dedicated to my idol. She is a brilliant actress and singer and I can't even put into words how amazing she is.

You probably have seen her in her most famous movies like: Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Victor/Victoria, Thoroughly Modern Millie, My fair lady (on broadway) or even Princess Diaries 1,2 with Anne Hathaway.

13 Facts About Julie Andrews:

2. Julie was born “Julia Elizabeth Wells” and became “Julie Andrews” after her mother married her second husband.

3. Julie Began her first official voice lessons, that is by someone other than her step-father, at the age of nine and a half.

4. At age twelve, Julie was in her first professional show called Starlight Roof. She sang the “Polonaise” from “Mignon” in twelve shows a week for a year.

5. The same year that Julie appeared in Starlight Roof she was also given a screen test. She was not signed by the studio and she was deemed “unfilmable.”

6. In 1954, Ms. Andrews first came to the US to be in a production of “The Boy Friend” on Broadway.

7. Julie and her second husband Blake Edwards have been married since 12 November 1969. They have two adopted children from Vietnam together.

10. Julie played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady on Broadway, but was passed over for the part in the film version. She played Mary Poppins instead and received the Academy Award for Best Actress.

11. In early 1998, Julie lost her singing voice after having surgery to remove a non-cancerous growth on her vocal cords. She had been told that this was a routine surgery and that it would not affect her voice. It kills me every time I remember that.. :'(

12. In 2000, Ms. Andrews was made Dame Commander, Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II. Thanks for all of the hard work, Dame Julie!

13. Julie Andrew's best friend is Carol Burnett (also a very talented and awesome lady).  They often did comedy/musical skits at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln center. If you wand to see a hilarious 'rap' skit about kids these days and their style (parody) made by these two brilliant ladies. Click this.

From the movie Victor/Victoria. Brilliant movie.
Go watch it. No, seriously. Go. :)

Two Vietnamese adopted children :) 

Daughter Emma

Her husband (the brilliant movie producer) Blake
Edwards who died recently. R.I.P.

Thank you Julie, for making my childhood so much better. I grew up (re-)watching The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. I danced around the house singing the songs and to this day I still know all the lyrics by heart. As I grew, I discovered many of your other movies that blew my mind as well. All those skits with Carol Burnett at the Carnegie Hall were hilarious and I can't even describe what joy they brought to me.
Thank you for being who you are. :)

California bans "ex gay therapy" also Mitt Romney is a jackass

Some recent LGBTQ news.. Don't like don't read.

California has become the first state in the nation to ban therapy that tries to turn gay teens straight.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed Senate Bill 1172, which prohibits children under age 18 from undergoing “sexual orientation change efforts.” The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, prohibits state-licensed therapists from engaging in these practices with minors. 

"Governor Brown today reaffirmed what medical and mental health organizations have made clear: Efforts to change minors' sexual orientation are not therapy, they are the relics of prejudice and abuse that have inflicted untold harm on young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Californians," Clarissa Filgioun, board president of Equality California, said in a press release.

Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, added: “Governor Brown has sent a powerful message of affirmation and support to LGBT youth and their families. This law will ensure that state-licensed therapists can no longer abuse their power to harm LGBT youth and propagate the dangerous and deadly lie that sexual orientation is an illness or disorder that can be ‘cured.’”

In other news..

In 2004, then-Masachusetts Governor Mitt Romneysuccumbed to meet with a group of gay and lesbian parents who were trying to get him to follow that state’s supreme court ruling to enable same-sex couples to marry. Romney reportedly was unmoved after hearing their stories and why they needed the law to allow them to marry — to protect their families.

“I didn’t know you had families,” Romney told the LGBT parents in the group, standing in his office, according to an extensive article in Boston Spirit, a blog hosted by the Boston Globe’s website:

“It was like talking to a robot. No expression, no feeling,” recalls David Wilson, one of the plaintiffs in the case who met with Romney that day. “People were sharing touching stories, stories where you’d expect recognition in the other person’s face that they at least hear what you’re saying — that there’s empathy. He didn’t even shake his head. He was completely blank.”

Occasionally Romney would say something.

“I didn’t know you had families,” remarked Romney to the group, according to Wilson.
The offhanded remark underscored that Romney, the governor of the first state prepared to grant same-sex marriage, hadn’t taken the time to look at what the landmark case was really about. By this point the plaintiff’s stories had been widely covered by national media — in particular, Julie Goodridge’s heartrending tale of how her then-partner, Hillary, was denied hospital visitation following the precarious birth of daughter Annie. It was the ignorance of these facts — and Romney’s inaccurate, insensitive answer to her parting question, that pushed Julie Goodridge to her breaking point.

“I looked him in the eye as we were leaving,” recalls Goodridge. “And I said, ‘Governor Romney, tell me — what would you suggest I say to my 8 year-old daughter about why her mommy and her ma can’t get married because you, the governor of her state, are going to block our marriage?’”

His response, according to Goodridge: “I don’t really care what you tell your adopted daughter. Why don’t you just tell her the same thing you’ve been telling her the last eight years.”

Romney’s retort enraged a speechless Goodridge; he didn’t care, and by referring to her biological daughter as “adopted,” it was clear he hadn’t even been listening. By the time she was back in the hallway, she was reduced to tears.

“I really kind of lost it,” says Goodridge. “I’ve never stood before someone who had no capacity for empathy. It went behind flat affect. It was a complete lack of ability or motivation to understand other people.”

The extensive article, written by Scott Kearnan, notes too Romney’s decision to dismantle the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, created to “to specifically address youth-related issues like anti-gay harassment and teen suicide,” Kearnan writes:

At first Romney seemed as though he’d be an ally to the Commission, says Kathleen Henry, who chaired the Commission during Romney’s administration. Romney released official proclamations recognizing Youth Pride, and in his inauguration expressed the importance of defending civil rights regardless of, among other things, sexual orientation.
“I opened almost every meeting reading that [passage from Romney’s inauguration], like it was a prayer,” recalls Henry. “I’d say, ‘This is what our governor believes.’”

Then in May 2006, Henry got a phone call from Romney’s chief of staff. A Commission press release touting the Youth Pride parade had been sent out on stationery that included the governor’s name in its sidebar. This placed Romney’s name on the same page as the word “transgender.” He was not happy. He was going to shut down the Commission. Just like that. The end.

Henry’s heart sank. Suicide prevention programs, support for Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA), training administrators to establish “safe school” practices for gay youth — all of that was “flashing before my eyes,” says Henry, who was only hours away from a Commission fundraiser at the Omni Parker House when she received the call. Luckily, political allies leapt to the Commission’s defense, and within hours Romney reversed his order to dismantle the group. In response, Henry worked with the Massachusetts Legislature to hurriedly create the Massachusetts Commission on GLBT Youth, which would exist independent of the governor’s office.

Once that was established, Romney dismantled the original Commission as a redundancy. Then something strange happened. Henry’s phone rang again, it was Romney himself calling, and the tone was very different.
