Firstly, this icon by
cloud_wolf kind of makes my life a little bit. XD I need more icon space. (Yes, more than 35 icons. Why do you ask?) Second, I AM FREE. School is done with, I have summer, and trust me it feels good. Stay up late, sleep in late... and okay I kind of failed at the Chemistry final but my grades are - acceptable D: I need to stop expecting so much of myself, like now. My driving test is tomorrow, wish me luck. Please.
Thirdly, and most importantly, I have not given up on this Stark Trek thing. So I tried to write something today.

If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.

They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.

The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.
Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

My heart goes out to these people. I want to be there. I want to fight for something this right. This, this, this. Is why it pisses me the fuck off when people don't appreciate what we have.
# The most obvious thing to do is stay informed. Keep an eye on reliable sources on Twitter, refresh blogs and news sites that are covering the stories.
# If you are on twitter, retweet information from reliable twitters, but REMOVE THE USERNAME if they are in Iran. People have died because of the lack of responsibility by fellow tweeters and the media in this front. They can be tracked down by the government of Iran.
# Spread the information elsewhere. Repost this article or write your own on Facebook, Myspace, Tumblr, or anywhere else you can think of. If you write your own, make sure you are concise and accurate. Link to your sources for people to learn more.
# Change your location on Twitter to Tehran or Iran, and your time zone to GMT +3:30.
# DO NOT auto-refresh and take down websites, even if you are asked. It slows down the internet for the rest of the people in Iran.
# If you make a proxy DO NOT post it publically, otherwise it is useless. Send it in a direct message to a trusted source.
# DO NOT spam the hash tag #IranElection with useless things to "confuse the government". This does not help at all.

OH MY GOD I HAVE A PROBLEM
I have been reading Harry Potter (read Snape) fanfiction since getting home and oh my goddd this is ridiculous the amount of crying I have been doing and AAAUGH.
Since some people asked for recommendations, here are mine:
Duel and Dumbledore's Men by Jocelyn (probably the single best fics I've ever read, ever)
A Promise Fulfilled by PhantomTF
Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been? by fyre
A Coward's Promise by Aisalynn
I'm less sure about these, but:
Eternity by Onatah1
The Final Year by PhantomTF
Picture Perfect by PhantomTF
And now I need to find something better/more productive to do with my life, OH GOD.
(Also do not want school tomorrow. Why can it not be over already? Dammit.)

2. Shaggydog covered in kittens climbing all over him and looking annoyed/tolerant.
3. Felix in the dark, hair mussed and wild and eyes wide and hand over his mouth, breathing hard.
4. Adolf the tentacle monster on Aziraphale's feet.
...dammit. XD I need to develop my talents, clearly...

Because it's where my head has been - a post, primarily related to A Song of Ice and Fire but with a couple other things thrown in there too. I was thinking in Chemistry today (not about Chemistry, alarmingly enough) and a few things came up in my head.
Firstly is that the great thing about this series (and others, but this one especially) is that GRRM is very good at creating characters we want to see again with very little space. I have a list of characters I barely knew that I want to see again, whether they're actually dead or just unlikely to turn up again. First and foremost and most obviously among these would be Oberyn Martell who was alive for exactly one book and around for probably under 200 pages. And yet the man has his own LJ comm and a legion of still grieving fans (I'd like to think it's not only because of how hot he sounds but also because he's a very interesting and intense character). Then there's Bronn who is pretty much the most secondary character to ever secondary a secondary, but he has his fair share of supporters in fandom. Not to mention Renly who we don't see much of and isn't coming back. And then there are the characters we never see firsthand at all - Lyanna and Rhaegar - who somehow still have a draw and connection to the reader even though they've never even been spotted onscreen. And isn't that interesting?
The second thing was that I cannot stand the pairing Theon/Robb. I suppose I see the attraction and, actually, in normal mode might go for it myself, but I think it's a measure of how much I loathe Theon that I don't. Because I really do hate him. And I don't want him near Robb because the boy deserves better.
So then I was thinking about why I dislike Theon so much...
( and this is where it gets long. )
Finally, rereading Half-Blood Prince, all the 'Snape is ebul!' things are making me sad and all 'STFU HARRY YOU KNOW NOTHING JON SNOW' but those are two separate canons.
I may have an essay in the works on Brotherhood in A Song of Ice and Fire (and possibly sisterhood, but I'd need more sister pairs, ideas :O?) but that shall be later.
I leave you with that, and apologize sincerely for any major incoherency that may have occurred.

Okay okay okay I swear I'm done after this. XD I swear. Really.
There was some Real Life drama, but I'm far more interested in the campy music, personally. So here we go!
Starting off the FINALS with Lithuania, who still has a nice jawline and still has a rocking fedora and sets his hand on fire. I like the back piano; otherwise am fairly unimpressed here. Next is Israel, who...has a city in her hair? And is much more interesting live. But still not good enough to keep my interest, and whoa, off-key is painful.
And okay, the cities in the hair is apparently normal, France has it too.
( YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS )
In short? I am in love. With the sparkles, and the dancing, and ALEXANDER RYBAK OMG, and eeeeeeeee. :D :D :D :D

I finished Corambis today, and you know what that means. You're in for a book review! :D You lucky people.
But I'm doing this one a little differently, or trying to. I'm going to look back at the series largely as a whole and try to be as little spoilery as possible. So - here goes.
I picked up Melusine because it was one of those many books that I went to the bookstore, picked up, looked at, and put back. Several times. Eventually, I said 'fuck it' and went to the library to check it out. I started the book one night and stayed up until 3 am finishing it. Before I was very far in, I knew that this series was a keeper. And went through the next two just as quickly. The end of The Mirador left me curious and wondering where things were going to go, as well as a little depressed. Several weeks ago Corambis arrived, but I was in the middle of a book and felt bad starting another, so it sat on my windowseat staring at me in reproach until I finally surrendered and started reading.
At about 5 o' clock yesterday.
( Length cut, only slight spoilers )
More favorite moments in this book than I can count. I'll have to go back and read it again. And soon. But I swear I'll finish my other material first, really! XD
Lise is pleased. The board rests.
(additionally, we have been watching Harry Potter the First in Spanish and it reminds me of 1) how omg little they were and omg adorable little Hermione is in her bitchy know-it-allness, and 2) how much I friggin love Snape. o__o I need to go back and reread. Think I'll go hunt down bits now.
Of course the fact that he has Alan Rickman's sexy sexy voice might have a little to do with remembering this. omgAlan. Talk to me in that voice all night long. Mmm.)
...it doesn't even matter that I can't hear his voice in the movie itself. I hear it in my mind.
Began brainstorming for possible new story. Commitment, I fail at it. XD Also, things I Need to Do: a. Write Corambis based fic. Jot notes. b. catch tags properly c. finish "At the Mountains of Madness" d. sleep moar. e. crush the Egyptian empire. f. Make musical FST for Felix/Malkar (!) e. talk self out of anything stupid

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character (from one of my usual fandoms). Original fic is also allowed--you can toss names, photos, descriptions of personalities at me--with the provision that none of the characters be from any works in progress. In return, those ten peoplehave to post this in their journals, regardless of their ability level just post if you want to. Could be fun.

Okay, computer still fucked up. Yahoo loads weirdly when it loads at all, pages load slowly, toolbars don't close out the way they should (i.e. volume, virus database, etc.). Scanning again, and backed up my files to the external but am scared that might have transferred the whatever it is....SO QUESTION, FLIST, AND I'M GETTING A LITTLE DESPERATE HERE AND SERIOUSLY FREAKING OUT, SO PLEASE. HELP.
1. SPYWARE SWEEP. HOW DO I DO IT?
2. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF A 'SYSTEM RESTORE?'
3. HOW IN HELL CAN I FIX THIS????
I would go to the computer guy, but my parents as good as told me that I'd have to pay for it. And I have. No. Money.
AAAAAAAAAGH *spazflail* MY GOD THIS WEEK HAS SUCKED. THINGS HAD BETTER START LOOKING UP SOON OR I WILL STOP GETTING OUT OF BED, LOCK MYSELF IN MY ROOM, AND SCREAM.
...anyone know how much punching bags cost? I really think I need one. Pillows just don't do it. Not enough resistance. Or pain.
ETA: Internet still stupid as hell, me still pissed off as hell, going to go try sleep before I give myself ulcers. And try this 'System Restore' thing, see how it works. *sigh* Aaaaaaargh. This week needs to be over. Now.

Beauty and the Beast - Nightwish [intro]
Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my uglyness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a scent of beauty left behind
And then her prince was there...
( forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you )
The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails (outro)
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
"Is that what he told you?" Clegane laughed again. "Your father lied. Killing is the sweete\s thing there is." He drew his longsword. "Here's your truth."

The second from that meme a few posts back!
shorelle challenged me to write Jaime/Cersei. So I did.
Title: Hello Beautiful
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire
Warnings: Sexual things. But it's not too overt.
Two down, three to go. Some of those only get snippets, though, rather than actual...writing. Though Chtulhu/Morgoth didn't get that much. XD (will be crossposting to
ficviendha, sorry about that.) ...also started listening through my Nine Inch Nails today and - mm. Aside from the fact that their lead singer is mighty fine I'm actually liking more than I expected.
