Today's el Clásico: Barcelona 3-1 Real Madrid
A fairly accurate summary of my feelings: Well. Fuck everything about my life. Barca, despite you being 90% the Spanish NT of my heart, I STILL HATE YOU GDI STOP SCORING.
Here, have a picture of CriKá, because it makes me feel better:
(There are others where they are hugging, or linking arms, or ruffling hair, but I like the aesthetics of this one. :D For your edification, though, you should definitely go look at all the touching.)
In other football news, I am glad Liverpool is doing better this season. (Thought part of my soul cries forever and goes DAMMIT NANDO, WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE STUCK IT OUT, BLUE IS SO BAD FOR YOUR COMPLEXION.) I'm not willing to forgive Luis Suárez totally for his handball during the World Cup, but how well he's doing for Liverpool goes a long way towards making me not hate him. :D Also, Stevie G., does anyone get injured as much as you? Jesus. Stop pulling that groin muscle. OR ELSE STRETCH IT MORE.
Ahem.
I forgot what I wanted to post here as life's been distracting. So here are some assorted updates:
1. Still in love with One Piece. Have rediscovered doujinshi and found some incredible scanlated ones (I will rec if you wish!). There are definite pros to getting into a big fandom and to shipping a mainstream pairing, negl. Am stupidly, happily giddy over it.
2. Been doing crosswords with a vengeance. TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE ENJOYS THEM AS MUCH AS I DO.
3. Externing (i.e., slaving away for free) with the state government for the next few months: it's pretty interesting stuff, but the full time hours can drag and are, on the whole, exhausting. I come home and want to do nothing but gorge on fic/books and sleep.
4. Reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hd_holidays and Agatha Christie (always! still!) and webcomics: I follow Oglaf (dirty magical fantasyland humor), Teahouse (yaoi-tastic brothel with visits from royalty), and just recently, from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naninande's rec, Orange Marmalade, an adorable translated-from-Korean high school het romance featuring vampires that don't sparkle.
5. I challenge all of you to read Fox In Socks out loud. Just because it's a fun way to spend five minutes. (I actually own a hard copy of this book. I take it out occasionally and inflict it upon my friends with glee, asthyme_hawthorne can verify.) Don't get tongue-tied!
6. Writing sucks. Pulling out hair and whining endlessly is part of my writing process, okay?

Like I said before, I adore some of the Barca players, I just kind of... hate Barca on principle. Also, Messi makes me irrationally angry though that might have to do with that way
allmostso many sports commentators rave about him all the time.On a related note, the new Real Madrid away kits are super cute (gold on black! so classy ♥), but they cost ridiculous amounts of money and I can't quite justify getting one :( I still need a Kaká jersey to mach my Cronaldo one! That's reason enough, right?
Re: writing, if you need hand-holding and cheerleading, I am here for you! /smishes ♥♥

I generally approve of RM's colors and kits. ♥ You should definitely get a Kaká jersey at some point! I have my LFC Gerrard and Spain Torres one, even though they are both destroying my heart ugh alskdjfl.
I just want things to write themseeeeeelves. :(

I wanted to thank you for listing the webcomics you read--they look great, and I'd never heard of them before! I'm always on the lookout for, as you say, yaoi-tastic webcomics. Before now the only one I had heard of was Starfighter (http://starfightercomic.com/). So thank you! :)

Oglaf has a lot of slashy (and femslashy and het) stories and elements too, but it's not as full of familiar BL tropes like Teahouse.

I'd love some One Piece doujinshi recs! Especially any recently scanned ones, but I'll take any. It's soon time for a reread anyhow. :D
no subject
Oooh, recs, okay! Here (http://www.arigatomina.com/downloads/djs/onepiece/index.html) are a bunch of scanlated ones, most of which are from this year. My favorites are by Hachi Saruya and Yamato because their art is amazing - so canon like - and they keep in the humor and ridiculous crew antics. All of these are all great quality though!
I also love this one (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G3DBCHMP) for being smutty but not in the stereotypical yaoi way and everyone retains their ICness. Plus! ZORO BOTTOMS. I could go on forever about why I prefer it this way but alskdjfld. :D

Since I didn't see the match I wasn't too depressed, but still. Real Madrid. Why.
...I just read Fox in Socks and now I can't talk or spell correctly. Ow. Also, one of my slipups was totally not child friendly. Note to self: NEVER READ THAT STORY TO CHILDREN.

Also 3.2% (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G3DBCHMP), which I mentioned above.
haha Fox in Socks ♥ I love Dr. Seuss. And Shel Silverstein. And so many nostalgic children's books. T^T

that away kit is very nice, though.
