<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>School is kicking my butt, but that seems to be the norm these days. I'm not sure what I was smoking/drinking when I thought that two Saturday classes would be a good idea, but I'm entering into a 12 step program for those of us that make such stupid decisions. At any rate there's nothing that I can do about it except make the best of it. I'm just hoping that my GPA will be a 4.0 for this quarter. I'm having some serious issues with one of my classes and I think it's time to approach this professor and let them know that I don't have time to play and BS around when it comes to my grades. I've done quality work and was getting really good grades until.. I'm not getting into it I just get pissed off dredging up the memories.</p>
<p>Well, we moving into our new home on the 1st of this month. Some unexpected expenses caused my funds to dwindle faster than I anticipated, but I'm still remaining optimistic and focused on this debt thing. I've finally come to a conclusion about my student loans. This fall will be the last time that I request them from now until Grad School I will be using my grants to fund my education. During this time I'll be making payments of 100-200 a month to reduce it a bit and I intend on paying on the interest during income tax season... since the road to hell is paved with good intenions I'm not holding my breath on this one.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"><strong>The following are three wonderful book recommendations from doing homework:</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"><em>Trusting God</em> – I had read before. Now I’m doing the companion study guide. If you are like me and are not satisfied with all the candidates in this presidential election, it is a very timely. Ultimately, it is timely for any person in any situation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"><em>Grasping God’s Word </em>by Duvall and Hays - This is a clear textbook which teaches how to study your Bible in a practical manner. They interact with the reader and give the reader many opportunities to practice what she is learning. This hands-on-method makes me wish that I could take a class with these two professors/ authors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"><em>Psychobabble </em>by Richard Ganz - Written by a Jewish Psychologist turned Christian, biblical counselor, this book exposes the insufficiencies of psychology and the superiority of God's Word for changing lives. He succeeds at writing a useful book that is also an enjoyable read.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Also good is <em>Idols of the Heart</em> by Elise Fitzpatrick.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been 10 years since I played my last cricket match. Yes it was 1997 I played my last cricket match with my school and neighborhood friends. Those are the time we play football (small ball) in the afternoon lunch hour , hand tennis during the morning and afternoon tea breaks ,cricket in all the games period and holidays and weekends.</p>
<p>I was not a very good cricketer and in the same time I was not a very bad cricketer. I play a moderate game and a all rounder. I am a medium fast bowler and a right hand middle order batsman.  Regarding batting I am not a hitter. We played lots of cricket during the school days. We never considered the hot sun , we play for hours n hours. Those were all bet matches, and the betting amount will be 5 rs and a ball or 50 rs maximum. 50 rs was a very big money at that time. Sometimes we go for tournaments and get damaged with the big and best teams. But after my school days I was put into diploma and there we don't had a option of playing. While doing my engineering I got chances to play , but at that time I was not interested (frankly speaking I am afraid of playing with some good cricketers ).</p>
<p>But now I have started playing cricket with my colleagues. We started playing in the saturday mornings. We have played four matches starting from last two months (May 08). But now its really fun to paly it , I lost the touch and I am afraid of balls sometimes. In the first match I delivered around 13 balls per over, but made little improvement after that. Anyway its good to play.</p>
<p>Hope to continue this and wish most of the saturday morning should be started with a cricket match. Wish to see the alrounder back in form :). Playing is a kind of enjoyment where I forget everything except the game. I Love playing and wish to continue...! :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I never do well at these things because (a) writing on command for contests really freezes me up and (b) I just don't think I get the right vibe on the humor around this ol' Vermont College.</p>
<p>The deal is, with every graduating class comes a party, and with each party a writing contest.  Last year... I forgot what it was.  I entered and lost.  Whatever.  This time around I thought I might have a chance: a good news/bad news film treatment contest.  The good news is that a famous/classic children's book has been chosen to be turned into a big Hollywood film.  The bad news is, well, it's being made into a <em>crappy</em> big Hollywood film.  100 to 200 words.</p>
<p>This should so totally be mine.  I know films, I know classic kid's books, I even know how to write a freakin' treatment.  But humor is the name of the game and maybe I'm not as funny as I think I am when under the gun.</p>
<p>There were co-winners, a treatment for Kathi Appelt's <em>The Underneath</em> pitched as as musical -- "It's <em>Cape Fear</em> meets <em>Oklahoma!</em>"  The other winner was <em>Anne of Green Gables</em> starring Li'l Kim.  Me?  I went with <em>It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World</em> crossed with <em>Pulp Fiction</em> for a retelling of the P.D. Eastman classic <em>Go, Dog, Go!</em> It goes a little something like this...</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Yo, Dawg, Go!</strong></p>
<p>An Old Dog careens off the highway and with his dying breath reveals to a group of strangers of a secret stash hidden in a suitcase in a coastal California city.  Among the strangers are Big Dawg and Little Dawg, a pair of hitmen who have been assigned to retrieve the suitcase for their boss, Top Dawg.  They immediately wipe out the other witnesses to the accident and head off to claim the loot themselves.</p>
<p>Along the way Little Dawg is asked by Top Dawg to look after his wife who insists on a series of exchanges over whether or not they like each other's hats.</p>
<p>Eventually Big Dawg and Little Dawg continue their drive across country and discover the suitcase with the loot on top of a large tree full of other Dawgs.  While Little Dawg sends the tree full of Dawgs to bed for the Big Sleep, Big Dawg foams at the snout barking biblical verse from Ezekiel before returning the suitcase to Top Dawg.</p>
<p>Driving away, Big Dawg and Little Dawg discuss the misuse of the article “der” in the name of the fast food chain Der Wienerschnitzel.</p>
<p>Quentin Tarantino directs.</p></blockquote>
<p>Eh, I at least gave it a shot.  Maybe I was too esoteric in my references.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">As of two weeks ago I am officially not a teacher. I still have to create makeup work and a list of dos and don’ts for the next Jr. High teacher. I finished teaching a month of summer school and have now become a student. I am neck deep in homework  and thought for my masters program which started last Monday. We had lots of homework due before classes. I think I have read at least 3,000 pages and written at least 110 pages. The long assignments are still to come. I’m excited though. I love what I am learning. It is stretching me, especially since there is a higher expectation for masters work and because my incredible proofreader (Thanks Mom!) has been out of town. Well as I said, I have transitioned from teacher mode to the role of a student, but I still plan on keeping this blog. I know that wherever I am and whatever job I have next year I will still be learning and teaching. More of the first than the second I am sure. I know that I post rather infrequently, and I’m not going to promise anything different, especially since I always think that in the next segment of life there is going to be an abundance of free time to do such things. There never is, but I hope that you, my one reader, will stay tuned. Maybe I’ll even let a few other people know about my blog. Now there’s an idea </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;"><span>J</span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talvez seja implícito que eu fui um moleque muito do cuzão. Nunca fui de brigar e, apesar de aprontar uma aqui e outra acolá, normalmente fugia das brigas na praça - religiosamente realizadas depois da escola. Porque eu era meio bobo (meio?) e só não me tomavam a lancheira pois eu não a tinha. Assim como não me tomavam o dinheiro do lanche porque eu não tinha dinheiro do lanche. Menos ainda me tomavam a merenda da escola pois eu era um dos poucos que tinha coragem de mandar para o estômago o rango do Estado.</p>
<p>Um aparte: se servissem a merenda da minha escola em Auschwitz, o mundo tomaria uma atitude contra o Holocausto. Incluindo aí nesse "mundo" a Alemanha.</p>
<p>Pois bem, haviam duas coisas na escola que me faziam tremer mais do que os notórios valentões que batem nos moleques mais nerds: o dentista e a Loira do Banheiro. O dentista, todos conhecem, é o profissional filho de uma puta que ganha uma grana violenta para te fazer passar por sessões que transformam as torturas no DOI-Codi em um passeio pelo vale encantado.</p>
<p>Já a Loira do Banheiro é um mito que muda de escola para escola. Na minha, por exemplo, tratava-se de uma professora muito da burra, porém déspota. Certo dia essa professora humilhou uma de suas alunas e foi ao banheiro (!?). Ao chegar no recinto, sentindo-se pesarosa pelo ocorrido, foi encostar a cabeça na parede, aquela clássica cena de filme brega. Só que o vergalhão que estava bem onde a mestra encostou a cabeça fazia figuração para o Hellraiser. Voilá, a mulher morreu e, puta da vida com os pupilos, resolveu que ia atanazar a vida de qualquer estudante no banheiro.</p>
<p>Certa vez, ciente de que o dentista ia para a classe "aplicar o fluor"*, disse para a professora que ia ao banheiro <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">fumar um cigarro e pichar a parede para depois ser repreendido pelo Sidney Poitier</span>. A mestra acreditou e lá fui eu comemorar a minha alforria. Só que, mal cheguei no páteo, o torturador descia com as pobres vítimas da "aplicação do fluor". Única solução encontrada por esta besta: se esconder no banheiro.</p>
<p>Daí que eu fiquei na porta. Por um lado, me cagava de medo da sessão Josef Menguele. Do outro, me borrava com o caso do poltergeist que assombrava as escolas aqui e alhures. Encurralado e sem encontrar solução para o problema, não pensei duas vezes.</p>
<p>Mijei na porta do banheiro da escola. Nem para a Loira, nem para o dentista.</p>
<p>* Aplicar o fluor: técnica hitlerista usada pelo dentista (reparem, rima com nazista) da escola, que seguia os preceitos das chuveiradas de Ravensbrück. Eu acredito piamente que os alunos "expulsos" da minha escola foram aniquilados sumariamente por conta de sua insurreição contra o Sistema opressor que não deixava os caras mais velhos fumarem unzinho em paz no banheiro da escola. Mas não, a Loira do Banheiro não é uma invenção do Sistema. Eu mesmo a vi e deixarei este trecho para um outro dia.</p>

<title><![CDATA[A Psychological Theory: Jealousy in Yaoi Fangirls]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yaoi as a whole has always... uh, confused me. I sort of understand the appeal in it (like boys tend to say, "Two hotties are better than one!") but why the heck do the fricking insane fangirls start squealing over Naruto and Sasuke cosplayers making out? It's not REALLY Naruto and Sasuke; it's just a mental substitute of sorts.</p>
<p>But cosplay rant aside, the same sort of fandomosity goes for yuri (as stated above) though the fandom is not quite as vocal. After pondering the motives of these fans, I've realized the reason for yaoi/yuri fandoms' existences might be simple: jealousy.</p>
<p>(Mildly 14+-rated post within, and if any mention of yaoi or yuri offends you, best not to keep reading.)</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>So say you have a hot (or cute, sexy or mysterious) guy in a non-yaoi manga or anime. Say, in this case, the people who end up watching the show are horny loser fangirls, and they're mainly interested in the hot guy, and they fantasize about him night and day, etc etc.</p>
<p>But then there's the other characters in the show - say, in this case, another hot guy, two flaky pretty girls, and a genetic experiment chick. (Name the anime and you get coookies.) The fangirls start drooling over the other hot guy. However, they know they'll never have either hot guy, since they are fictional characters and obviously do not really exist. In some cases, they may subconsciously realize that even if said hot character DID exist, they'd never be good enough for him.</p>
<p>So in the series itself, there's almost always a possibility that a romantic twist will occur and a spark may ignite between a hot guy and one of the girls, right? But in this case, the fangirls don't want that.</p>
<p>Why? Because they don't want to see any other girl making out with, snuggling with (etc, etc) the hot guy they like, period. <em>Jealousy</em>.</p>
<p>Of course, the jealousy of the female characters might not be as strong, and therefore the yaoi support not as <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ridiculous</span> strong, if one of the series' canon females a.) can be related to by a fan (same age, appearance or personality, etc) or b.) is just very likable or admirable (Rukia in <em>Bleach</em>, for example) by more mature fans. Or a fan might invent an original character for use in fanfiction if they're grossed out by guy-on-guy or they like making Mary-Sues.</p>
<p>So why support yaoi instead of just not supporting any hetero OTPs? Simple: horny guys are (for some people) easy/fun to look at. ^_^; Of course, you also have the more mature fans who support yaoi for what it really is (gay relationships) instead of smutty crap.</p>
<p>So what about canon yaoi instead of just fanfiction fantasies? Yaoi series are, essentially, porn for girls who don't want to see a guy doing R-rated things with another (often more attractive) girls. Occasionally you get series that break the standard uke-seme smut plot and go for something more realistic and serious.</p>
<p>I'd almost dare to say that it's the same sort of psychology in yuri fanboys. But I think the catty rivalry trend in girls (especially teenage/young adult girls) makes jealousy as a whole even more intense. Boys see porn as, well, porn. (I shouldn't have to go into detail; besides, I'm trying to keep this post appropriate T_T; ) Girls can either try to relate themselves to the girl in porn, or if the porn star's hotter than they'll ever be, they'll just go 'Uh, whores suck; I'd rather watch two horny guys.'</p>
<p>Of course, maybe I have this somewhat wrong. I'm not exactly a psych major, after all; I'm in high school ^_^; Maybe the yaoi fangirl trend is just due to the oversexualization of attractive males in society, and it's not really due to a girl's inner insecurities. But I'm sure that jealousy is at least a small part of the subconcious machinations of a yaoi fan. (Or maybe someone already came up with this theory already and I just missed it ^___^;;; )</p>
<p>tl;dr : In addition to the whole 'Two hot horny guys are better than one' thing, fangirls like yaoi because they don't want to see their favorite guy snogging a girl they don't like or can't relate to.</p>
