Title: Oneechan no otanjyoubi no kaddo: Sister's birthday card..

Well, since my sister always sends cards home, and well, I actually rarely send any myself haha.. being lazy or whatever, but I think I sent one last year?... but anyway.. this year, I decided to make one.

Earlier, my brother had sort of made me a card for my birthday and so did Ccy, so I thought that I would try my hand at making a card. I think we used to do it when we were kids.. but, well that was aeons ago... Unlike my cheater of a brother who relied on items from craft shops.. mine is truly 100% hand made from scratch.. muahaha well not counting the envelope.. I couldn't be bothered to make one, when we have it available...

Anyway, on the 2nd of August 2008, I think I sat down and started on the card, and the results are below..

It was my first time making a proper card... but oh well.. It's the thought that counts, and it's really cute to me anyway :p I even wanted to keep it for myself haha..



And when you flip it open..



And that's all for this post.. I'm proud of the card I made haha

On another note, I had complained since it was summer, my livejournal inbox is getting spammed by multiple notices for yaoi/shounen ai / gay manga downloads, and I had expressed a slight concern over that... being a selective moderate feminist haha...

Well it was more of a curiosity, so I said that I would try some lesbian manga/comics... to see what's the hype with gay comics that lesbians are sidelined..

Actually over the years I hadn't really watched nor read anything regarding homosexuality.. [I mean there were the "accidents" where people didn't label the anime/manga as homosexual/porno, & I downloaded it, only to discover it after opening the file.. I mean.. heck label your things properly.. What if I happened to be under 18??!! o_O'... but still, I just read it anyway haha since I've already opened it.. haha.. I think I might have accidentally downloaded porn manga for all I know haha.. so people that borrow my animes/manga, be careful, because sometimes I don't even know what is in there haha, I just keep downloading and burning, to make more space to download more haha.. but anyway...] I guess, no matter how open I try to be, I'm still conservative.. but I do try to accept as many things as possible in this world, and judge it on my own, whether it's good or bad...

I mean if two people love each other, what's to get in their way? it's only society.. that's why we get tragic love stories like Romeo and Juliet.. But, I digress..

Anyway, back to the topic, as stated before... I finally got down to downloading a few Yuri/lesbo manga, just to see how it is.. I've accidentally watched two, I think yuuri animes before.. And it's nothing much to me...I've watched.... hmmmm.. I few yaoi animes? Those were not totally by accident though haha.. I still remember the gay anime we bought for gene :p it was a cute anime... again I digress..

So my comments, and the satisfying of my curiosity of why there is more Yaoi than Yuuri out there.. My Hypothesis...

Basically, I would say that Gay stories are more interesting? Like Loveless and Rin..and gay couples look more sexy/cute together in the mangas... Maybe it's because I've read more Yaoi/shounen ai than Yuuri/shoujo ai... and well they are bishounens/ good looking guys. And me being a girl, would of course be more attracted to their looks rather than pretty girls in lesbo... heck even in straight mangas/animes.. so that would explain why so many girls are crazy over Yaoi...

But the few things that I've seen... maybe because I'm heterosexual and a girl.. so I didn't find it all that interesting... though.. yaoi is more interesting than Yuuri, but I still prefer my straight stories.. Sorry for being so conservative.. but I'm not all closed as I did take the trouble to enter the world of homosexuality through manga and anime no matter how briefly.. It's ok, I don't mind them.. but I still prefer straight stories... =.=' by the way, anyone has broke back mountain? I wanna watch... haha..

One thing, I still don't get is the fan-girling squeals girls do over boy love/shounen ai/yaoi... even more clueless for girl love, if there is any such squealing.... Then again, by so called normal societal standards I'm not very normal... Hence, I don't really conform to society's norm.. I only go so far as is enough for me to live a peaceful life... but that's about it?
