About the Chronicle
This is the personal chronicle of Christopher the Inventor, depicting scenes from His life as well as fictional stories (most certainly Harry Potter fan fiction), links to and musings of a few interesting websites out there, and occasionally spastic, uncalled-for explosions when He just can't control Himself.

I am not happy with today. I sort of wish I could return it, or something. [i]Dear God: this product called "life" is defective, and more so, it is crappy to begin with. You should design something better. Sincerely yours, Adam's descendant.[/i]

Surely everyone feels like that sometimes, though. Even if it is triggered by something utterly useless, a bad mood is universal. Everyone gets bad moods. So what if mine started by a stroke of bad luck when I couldn't twist my film onto the reel in pitch darkness. Everyone has problems doing that. It's difficult! It's easy to get frustrated. Of course, it's taken forever to get out of it. From problems in the dark to problems with the rest of the bloody developing process, to some really horrible people in the art studio, to having to research Gustave Dore, dumbest engraver/painter ever, for an art history class I didn't even sign up for. Jesus.

And THEN I had a bottle of root beer, and got drunk from it. Honestly, root beer isn't even alcoholic in the slightest. But now I feel like I have a hangover, and goddamnit, I just want to DIE.

I'm so emo I can't even use my Star Trek "emo kid" icon because it's too funny for this occasion.

I pierced my ear again. And the question of the day is: why is it that whenever you can't have something anymore, you suddenly crave it more? I can't sleep on my right side, and I don't even [i]like[/i] sleeping on my right side, but I really really really want to. And my ear hurts like a fucker, and I got it done with a gun because I was being a genius, and people are betting on whether I'm gonna get a lump or not.

Why am I so tired??

A bit in a strange mood but I'm okay! I'm dithering over my sign-up for hp_summersmut over at LJ (traitor! I know, but I'm bisexual to a fault, I always have to have both of everything) and it's taking forever. More time than I have tonight.

Just got back from that which they call "grad auction", which involves many kids strutting up and down a cardboard (or close to it) stage, most of them pretending to be jailbait or beach babes/boys/lifeguards or cavemen wearing stretchy leopard print spandex.

I never knew all those jerks were hiding those muscles underneath their clothes!

Heh... fancy that. Pity they are straight? And, yeah--forgot. Jerks.

Whereas I am the epitemy of nerdy excellence, from anime and manga to unhealthy pr0n addictions to learn-Hindi obsessions (and German, and Japanese, and Italian, and Gaelic...) to everything obvious, like me sitting here with TWO computers open, a laptop for Internet and a desktop for Photoshop. I am so cool.

I am totally Captain Wood and Neo and Q and Commander Riker all in one.  So, uh, very, very cool.

I am actually in shock over the icons. They are so pretty! All these FFVII ones... and of course everything else.

I should really make my own. Except, I don't have Photoshop. Or anything, really, more sophisticated than Paint. Can't do much in paint.

It's nearly midnight and I'm getting so BATTY.

I think I'm going to write my James Bond/Harry Potter crossover fic for a LJ fest tomorrow. IF I wake up before noon. I'm on my spring holidays, and I've become as lazy as a cat, drowsy all day and annoyingly awake at night. Could be all those brownies I ate. And the cookie dough.

Isn't there some disease one can catch by eating raw cookie dough?

I really like Chakotay. He is one of my favourite characters... in retrospect, anyway. When I'm actually watching the series, I of course lean towards Seven of Nine. Because she... is very pretty and smart and snarky. Sort of like Snape, of course, except he is only pretty if you are Harry Potter and extraordinarily drunk. And maybe if it's dark, too.

I know a boy who looks like he could grow up to look like Chakotay. Every time I'm in class, I always find myself staring at him (trying to be subtle), mentally drawing that tattoo on his forehead. I think he may have First Nations blood in him, but I'm not on speaking terms with him, so I can't ask him. Don't think Chakotay is 100% native, anyway, now that we come down to it. Or at least, the actor.

Or maybe he would look more in place if he had long braids and didn't wear a shiny red Starfleet uniform all the time.

What is more irritating that getting seventy (yes, seventy) episodes into a great long TV series, online, no less, only to suddenly and irreversibly find your one source for the episodes BANNED from Veoh, with no hope of getting them back, and no hope of finding any other person updating all the episodes so faithfully and simply... And go ahead, search "Bleach 71" on Veoh, and guess what comes up? An astounding number of episodes all with SPANISH subtitles, maybe a few in Italian too, and not a single goddamn in English. Or German, I could totally take German.

But no. I am on 71/161, and it was right in the middle of some suspenseful plot about vampires, and I was waiting and waiting for Ichigo's inner evil to show itself again, and--now it's all gone from the horizon. Because copycatuk92 had to get themselves DELETED.

And I was so, so excited about trying some Bleach/Harry Potter crossovers. I was thinking, you know, Ichigo/Snape or something absolutely RIDICULOUS. Inoue/Ron. Chad/Draco.

DIE, you stupid, stupid bugger.

Z and I are splitting up. You have no idea how relieved I am. She (and my favourite teacher... damn) think I am a coward because of it, though. That I am "running away" from a problem. Well, whatever. I had SO much fun this morning methodically taking down every single photo, quote, postcard, poster, and flag I had blue-tacked up on the walls. I also cleaned out that elusive, darkened area beneath my bed, where CDs, books, garbage, and really dusty socks had crouched angry for the majority of this year.

I am in business. There is no way now I'm going to be content to stay in this room. Even though I have the fridge, the turntable with super-speakers, and the biggest trunk out there, I'm moving out, not her. If I stayed here, I would constantly forget myself and fear that Z is going to walk in through the door and snark at me.

Hahaha. I feel so HAPPY.

I am nearly done with my first Lav/Angelina fic, ever. Well, it's my first femslash too, but it doesn't feel like that. Unfortunately, I am s-t-u-c-k, which is so annoying. It's the same with my transgendered Luna fic. :D There's something fundamentally wrong with my transitions in these things: it's like, I've finished the first chapter of each, and now I need to figure out how to successfully time-travel into the next half. Except, of course, they are both oneshots. I can't do chaptered fics because I get so bored after time.

Oh! Good new music: Dido. Actually, I've had Dido for as long as I can remember, but I never ever listened to a track beside "Thankyou". It's like James Blunt; I only listened to one track, which wasn't even the best, only the most well-known, and then I finally listened to the rest of the album and realized how much I was missing. Yes. So now I want to bravely try a chaptered Lavender/Angelina fic entitled "Dido", even though it has nothing to do with the story of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and more to do with Snow White, in which Lav is Snow White, Trelawney is the evil stepmother, and Fred Weasley is the seven dwarfs, and Angelina is the prince. :D It will be perfect.

Which is, a band.

Which is, an expression to mean "after forever, I am happy."

Wednesday was forever. Forever not coming back, but in forever I'll be in that situation again.

I am out. I am happy. It is so much better on the soul to be gay and to be out than to be gay and in fear... I feel now that i don't have to hide or avoid talking to my friends about such a big part of my life. And it's still awkward, a little, to bring it up, but I'm going to do it and do it until everyone in the whole world is comfortable. They should be.

Damn. When did I become an activist??

Feb. 6th, 2008 @ 08:48 am Am I an idiot? Amirite?
Current Mood: scared

In school there is a speech contest. The topic was "What I Believe". So I asked myself, what do I believe in?

Gay rights, of course. Gay awareness, gay sex, gay fan fiction, gay, gay, gay...

I have SUCH a one-track mind!

So I wrote it on "gay rights" but it really wasn't about that at all. More like how it's okay to be gay. And I completely outed myself in the speech. And here I was, thinking I'm such a Slytherin, all about how I'd save myself before saving others, stealing, lying, cheating, whatever. I'm a sneaky Slytherin bastard, I thought.

Would a Slytherin do something so FOOLISH and stupid? I came out to a freaky conservative school where it's really, really bad to be different. Like, we had one black guy. For a year. And he got expelled for drug dealing.

But I had to come out. I don't like lying about my true personality, and me being gay is such a huge part of my life that it felt so wrong to have it all hidden up. And I felt like I wasn't strong or brave, that I was weak because I couldn't tell people. And I didn't want to tell one person who'd tell another who'd tell another, and get it all out through gossip and rumors. That's almost tainting.

So no. I thought, best case scenario, I could tell everyone at once! Then it wouldn't be a secret at all.

Of course, now that I have to tell my entire grade now (yesterday I told about fifteen people in my English class) I am feeling sick to my stomach and really nervous. But I'm going to go through with it, even if I'm sweating and shaking and afraid. Face your fears, right?

Right. Not such a Slytherin at all. More like a damn foolish Gryffindor. Ah!

Z is driving me up the wall. Insane. She's gone all day and when she comes back, our first interaction since she woke me up at 5am to leave seems to be:

Z: HI, ROOMIE.
Me: Hello.
Z: HAD AN EXCITING DAY?
Me: Yes, it was very calm.
Z: -scorning snort-
Me: Hi, Lucy! Aw, cutie puppy... [Our houseparent's dog Lucy was curled up, sweet as can be, on my bed, and, for the record, had been for the last half hour]
Z: I don't see why you have that thing on your bed. It's dirty.
Me: Lucy isn't an it, she's a she...
[Lucy jumps off bed and starts stiffing around the room: NORMAL DOG BEHAVIOR]
Z: Get away, dog!
Me: All dogs do that. It's normal.
Z: It can't be healthy for it. I mean, it's eating dirt on the floor.
Me: [teasingly] Well, maybe you didn't vacuum very well on Saturday!
Z: OMG, don't be rude to me!
Me: What? I was joking!
Z: I can't tell if it's a joke. It's really rude, it sounded room, yadda yadda yadda.
Me: Well, I was SMILING to show you I didn't mean it, and body language, and tone, yadda yadda yadda, should have tipped you off.

Okay. Z just evicted Lucy. When I tried to turn it in my favor by saying, calmly, "alright, I'll take her away, but can you maybe do something for me? You always leave the light on the closet on, and it's really not a big deal but it irks me a lot so if you could do that that'd be great and we could all learn to work together". And she snarks at me some more.

Girls like Z REALLY PISS ME OFF.

I'm getting a single room next year.
