Hello, world! I live!

This is a stupid reason to post again, but... I came across this little eneagram quiz on magicpotion's journal (hugs ♥) and felt like pasting my own in here. It's actually a quite accurate one for a two-question meme x_X

( Peacemaker~ )

Today I moved to El Pinar, a sort of small wood/beach town about 30 km. from the capital. It's been an old dream of mine, to finally be surrounded by nature in a place like this. My cat, D'Artagnan, is amazingly happy as well XD I wanted to drop some lines over here as reference for the future, because I've definitely reached an important milestone in life. It's the beginning of a new stage, and this one will surely be interesting ^_~

Whoever is able to guess the words of this song, will get a special present from me. And since it's TOUGH, to 'guess the words' is to identify, let's say, half of them XDD Or what half of them could be. I have some theories regarding some parts, but most of the song is, aaaaargh, impossible to understand.



Thanks in advance to all who try!! ♥

( Pecados capitales )

Lo digo sin dar vueltas para la gran marea de hispanoablantes de mi fl... Len y Pau! En los últimos días escribí un fic bl en honor a este manga fantástico, Lost Canvas.

Fandom: Saint Seiya, The Lost Canvas
Pairing: Asmita de Virgo x Manigoldo de Cáncer 8D
Theme: Crack, fluff (más o menos), light lemon y autoengaño mental sobre SPOILER

Este fic tiene muchos spoilers, toneladas, así que abstenerse las que no hayan leído hasta el capítulo 69 de Lost Canvas. La historia está ambientada después de ese capítulo e inmediatamente antes del 70.

Es mi primer intento de fic independiente, así que espero que no resulte un Epic Fail. Escribir un fic es muy distinto de rolear. Dedicado a mi querida amiga Len, mi inspiración XDD Gracias por tu precioso ícono también.

Sin más preámbulos...

Yesterday I couldn't post... does this mean I failed the meme challenge?!! Oh noes. Anyway, I had a good reason for missing yesterday, so today it's a double entry.

The happy meme
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

( Today's meme is NOT worksafe. BL content ahead (that means homo stuff). DON'T click here if you're an innocent passerby. You've been warned. )

3.
I'll be leaving to the East in three hours. Len, Camilo and I are going to spend a couple of days in Valizas, a seaside resort about 300 km. from the capital. It's the first time we travel together, let's see if we can stand each other for so long~~ ♥ That's a happiness moment for tomorrow.

*sends hugs for all the silent readers. I know you're there :P. Can see you with my uke powers*

Have a nice new year's eve, everyone! And tomorrow make plans for the future, the first day of the year is only good for that.

I saw Shiryu sleeping with an eight-year-old in SS. Sleeping and hugging. No wonder the series has been censored so many times in the past. I'd include a huge cap in here, but I'm not home so I can't... It's hard to post so many times on the row, you never know if you'll get home on time to do it D:

The happy meme

3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

1. Shiryu x Kiki
2. ...Here I should say something like "Family Reunion", but I hate these.

Nothing else. Today was grim. I wanted to cast some spell or read the tarot or at least keep on fangirling, but no luck this year. All that's left to try is some meditation and hope for interesting dreams. Hope everyone had a better 31st.

It's hard to think about something interesting to say about today, because it's been quiet. The only thing worth mentioning is the chicken rolls I managed to pull together in the afternoon, which hopefully will be eatable tomorrow XD I have no idea, since it's the first time I try the recipe, and besides there's no way to know until you cut a slice of the rolls, and I'm not doing that until they're completely cold.

( Pic under cut )

About the series I was talking about, 'Saint Seiya - The Lost Canvas', English scanlations can be found HERE. Yesterday I accidentally linked to Spanish scans :P Have fun if you try it!

［僕は　やっぱり　動いている　君が　好きだな。］- "Ah~ cómo me gusta verte tan excitado." That's official.

1. Chicken rolls :D (Tomorrow we'll see if they're another cause of joy, or all the opposite.)
2. chocolate_chip's translation! Thanks~
3. Taking a shower and dressing up in a room lit up by candles (That was the gym. There was a blackout and everyone else left, so all the place was mine XD~)

IMPORTANT EDIT: If anybody actually downloads the manga from the links I posted, will come across the unpleasant surprise of finding the scans in Spanish. I forgot to mention this because I always read manga in English, this was an exception... For some reason, Lost Canvas is scanlated much more quickly in Spanish O_o Rumors of the future ovas also come quickly to the Spanish world. Misteries. But still, you can download and see the pictures! It's easy to know what's going on XD;

This entry was ready yesterday, but since LJ was down, it couldn't be published until now T.T

Today I started watching the old, and I mean the oldest, Saint Seiya anime ever done. 12 episodes in total so far. I know I jumped into the fandom a bit late, but Saint Seiya "Lost Canvas", the new series, is to blame for the unexpected turnaround. In case anyone is looking for a new manga to read, the first volume of the series can be downloaded here (part A) and here (part B). Basically there is BL, massive amounts of the hottest bishies I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot), and a nice storyline. It's amazing in every sense, and I cannot imagine any fangirl not wanting to see those guys interact.

I still can't believe I got hooked with a 1986 anime all of a sudden XD;;;

Also, I would like to quote Hades on Lost Canvas, and sort of ask those in my fl with Japanese notions how do they think the following could be translated:

［僕は　やっぱり　動いている　君が　好きだな。］

Is it posible that "Ugoku" here is used metaphorically? Because so far, every subber has presented a different translation, and non of them seem quite right. The translations range from "I came because you are my favourite" to "I came because I love you" and "I came because you're moving" (???). I think something like "As I thought, I like to see you so moved" would make sense, but I don't know... ("Moved" like "excited", "passionate", etc.). In the context, Hades says this to Pegasus after beating up some of Pegasus' friends, and yes, Pegasus is screaming a little. He is kind of moved.

So, meme:

The happy meme
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

1. Saint Seiya! The series is not exactly... good, but it's been important for the development of BL, and it was about time for me to culturize myself. And it was great squealing with you, my dear friend ♥
2. Going back to gym after stuffing myself in yesterday party XD I feel so great after doing exercise.
3. Watching "Los Simuladores" (In English, "Pretenders") with my mom on dvd. Today's episode was "El debilitador social" ("The social weakener"... I guess? xD). I once wanted to sub that series into English, because it's so worth it.

It's late, I just arrived from a family reunion and I'm sooo tired, but I promised myself to do this meme to the end, so here we go. Too tired to worry much about proper English grammar, btw.

After this, I would like to do an "angry meme": post about something that pissed you off today even if it's just a small thing XD

i) Ordering Japanese studying material from an online shop.
ii) Those DELICIOUS salmon and caper canapes from my cousin's birthday.
iii) A facebook message from a friend starting with "my love" XDD (I'm easy like that).
iv) Spying on La Llave's web stats and finding out who checked it out >D
v) Hades' minions in their gorgeous armors. And ah~ Pisces.

It's been ages since the last time I wrote anything on LJ. Actually, it's been ages since I've read anything on LJ, so my apologies go to any special friends I have left a little behind. It's not like I'll start writing and reading again all of a sudden, but right now I'd like to make an entry about something interesting starsdust and I have been working on.



Alongside BL, long chats with tasty food and travelling we still need to do more of that, we have another interest in common: the misteries of life XD That's why, after a series of intrincate events, we ended up creating a web radio program on supernatural stuff. However, the program is in Spanish, so I'm afraid most of my fl won't be able to enjoy it much. I'm sorry, but we're still not that good in English as to try and make a whole show with eerie accents XD;;

The progam can be listened to here: La llave de los tiempos. It's scheduled weekly and each installment comprises a main topic, an interview with another friend of ours who reads the tarot and oracles, a true or false section with funny/unbelievable urban legends and several other mini sections which we do not include in every program because it would end up too long.

( Cut for CC )

Then... about my personal life. This year has had its ups and downs, but in general terms I think it's beeen good. A sort of routine passing of the time while I round up academic studies and set the basis for future ideas. Hopefully next year I'll graduate from University, and from there on I'll be able to fly anywhere. Literally. About a month ago I took my first Japanese exam and did great! I can't wait to feel truly free, ready to go anywhere and do anything I want. For me, University is like a great wall I need to climb up before reaching the top and taking a peek at the future... sort of thing. A pride thing too. Blame my family, so full of professionals -.- Really, Universities are a sinister educational system which keeps so many talented people from happiness.

That said, I'm full of hope for next year, even though I know it'll be tough. Probably, another turning point in my life.

Now, to more more lighthearted issues:

The happy meme
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

Since today has been sort of blank - it's only starting -, and also since I haven't posted in a long while, first I'll mention things that made me happy during the previous months, instead of just today.

1.
(In no particular order)
i) Len coming back from that far away place she went to XD Sorry, Len, it made me happy.
ii) Taking the JPLT 4 and feeling good after exiting the classroom!
iii) The candles we lit at the Christmas' table on the 25th.
iv) My spiritual horizon, expanded (I hope).
v) Dr. Who, Los Simuladores and Sherlock, once again ♥
vi) My new freaky acquaintances.
vii) Gym ^^;
viii) Sharing, once more, a BL passion with my best friend and having lots of material to feast on. Alone~~

2. That's gonna be hard, but I'll try.

3. Has anybody not taken this meme already? Then, you're tagged.

Until tomorrow, I guess? 8D

Yes, I am insane and I don't care. All under cut.

This entry came to life a bit late, but hopefully the ~*~ friends! º\^O^/º ~*~ magic is still sparkling XD

Last tuesday starsdust and I went back to highschool spirit, making a great McDonalds + Zac Efron + Ice Cream + Matching Agendas ~*~ friends! º\^O^/º ~*~ COMBO ♥

My agenda...



...is probably too cute for me, but who cares. Every page features chibi girls saying things like "Oh, I need to get my hair done~" and "So embarrasing!" XD;; In this country there is a seriously lack of (among other things) different kinds of agendas. You can either have a 13 year-old agenda (like mine! º\^O^/º) or a 60 year-old black and blue one. Where are those beautifully illustrated agendas of my dreams, with scary sceneries, darkness and castles? What I'm trying to say is, where are the agendas for the scarred 13 year olds?

It was a really sweet day *hugs* Hope the cute agendas become good luck tokens for the year to come! We laughed a little at life's seriousness, so let's hope she laughs with us as well and doesn't kick us in the face instead XD~

On a side note, I got an orgasmic 19" Widescreen LSD Flat Monitor to replace the old one, which D'Artagnan broke about 3 months ago... in a way that nobody really wants to hear. It was sad to see the old one go because it was the very last remaining component of the computer which my father and I bought toghether back in 1998, and it was still working really well. But the new screen has my love too. In the meantime, after the accident and before the arrival of the new LSD Monitor I had been using another monitor someone lent me, and which is the one to blame for my pumpkin icon being pink >.<

Great Pumpkin Icon Meme of 2007

1. Take your default icon and doodle a pumpkin on it.
2. Copy and Paste this description in your livejournal so others can do it
3. Wait in your pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin on Oct 31. :D

It certainly would be interesting to receive a unique and slightly disturbing Halloween present by the Pumpking King. I shall be waiting.

(Little pigs having coins inserted into their rears... what lovely imagery to spread throughout your flist! XD)

I must be the first proud winner of the make-a-chocolate-thingy-so-absolutely-rock-bottom-quality-that-Len-will-actually-reject competition. The recipe to win the trophy has been named Arenat for reasons kept undisclosed. This legendary creation will continue living forever in the hearts of those present the moment it came out of the oven amidst shreds of dark smoke. Arenat, welcome to virtual inmortality.

I had been having this feeling for a while now but had dismissed it as just being part of a huge series of coincidences. However, as I kept watching House it became evident that this was not just me seing things. There IS a huge paralelism between House's character and Sherlock Holme's. Actually if you type "Sherlock Holmes" and "cane" in Google, the 10th result is... a House link. Now I know why I like him.

Apparently a lot of people have been talking about it too, and even magazine articles discuss the topic.

( My (ongoing) list of House features which link him to Holmes )

Because it has to be mentioned somewhere on my journal, there's good and bad news. The good news is


...with fantasy, demons who are absolutely gorgeous and other lovely creatures of the night. A best-seller, so it's going to sell by definition.



The bad news is that it's filled with Sue!het romantic contents and there's fluffy roses all over. It's fangirl karma. And deadline is freaking July 15! DD:

Still, I cannot believe my luck on this. A Spanish editorial actually hired me for working on a novel that's never been worked on before. A novel. Me. T_T

Also I've been watching Lost's third season. OMG THAT ENDING. Why did people say the third season wasn't good enough? I loved it from beginning to end; only one or two episodes turned out boring for me, which is a record of sorts. I'm not even annoyed at any character and actually cried during SPOILERSPOILER near the end. Awesome season!!!!!!!! But what now???

So much violence in the world, all at once. Yesterday I was witness to a robbery, with gunfight included x.x Quite a spectacular one as well: there were two accomplices; one stole a suitcase from someone and the other waited for him on a motorbike with no registration number. However, policemen ran after both and the one with a suitcase couldn't jump on the bike on time. Both were wearing helmets.

The guy on foot ran so much (passed in front of me, even) but there were just too many policemen, so I doubt he could make it far. My first impulse was to catch him, haha. It's the effect of so much CSI. The sight of a real gun on his hand had a greater effect though <.< .
