Head's up: long-ass entry ahead.
...And I haven't even changed my icons around in the longest time. /sob
( School, Teacher Stuff, POC and related matters. )
Now, before I go on to talk about everything else, I think I owe this much to Corazon Aquino, the woman whom my countrymen just laid to rest the other night.
( Two Cents for Tita Cory. )
Posted this over at my official blog, verbatim.
For the people interested in my Nine Inch Nails faggotry, I'll be posting an entry on that over there too. Link will follow once it's up.
It doesn't feel right posting ANGY! and BITCH! on the same entry as my word on Mrs. Aquino, so go and check the entry that'll come after this one for that.
I DO want the internet to know, though, that I think a case study ought to be done on Twilight and why the hell its fans are batshit insane. Just read the persona account of an RPer buddy of a friend, who was basically forced to vanish from the internet due to a rabid Twitard beating her over the head with a golf club.
No. I'm not kidding. And this probably isn't the first report of Twilight-related violence that has come out. Oddly enough, the cases seem to occur only in America.
It sounds silly, but the scholar in me is honestly pinged. Don't be surprised if I suddenly announce that I'm reading Meyer's work - it only means that I'm out to make a cultural studies analysis on the book in relation to this particular generation of America's youth, and what factors may contribute to the questionable behavior of a good number of these readers.
...Clearly, Pammeth needs to get a life. /cough
