I love House. Don't get me wrong. But it kind of pisses me off how he makes such a big deal out of his leg. Or maybe how the writers make such a big deal about his leg ( Read more... )

XDDDD You shouldn't slash your kids. =p That's hilarious, though. And I kind of want to see that movie you referenced.

That's so funny about the Herbal Essence. XDDDD

I want to be in Japan on JET. T___T *Sneaks over*

I know I shouldn't! ::hides head::

And the little I've watched of the film to check its completeness looked really good.

OMG you didn't apply for JET? Fulbright or nothing, huh.

I'd probably do the same... How old are your kids? Is this middle school age?

If the film is good, I expect you to hook me up!

No, I didn't. I actually would really like to work for my dad next year if JET doesn't work out. I'll be in Japan a few times, even if I dont' get Fulbright--I'm going for two weeks in August with my parents, but then I fully intend to go around Christmas or some random time in the Spring (2007, not 2006, must graduate first) when the rates on flying randomly drop. One of my friends did that, she went around Thanksgiving for a cheap price and stayed a week. I fully intend to take advantage of my freedom from school (work, I'll have to work around) so skip off a few times and see a concert or three. =p

Also, if I do work for my father's company, we'll be looking into getting some business in Japan, so... I'll be in Japan eventually. ^_^ I may apply for JET next year, who knows.

Yup, middle school.

Haha, okay. Threesomes for everyone!

Sounds like you'll get to Japan anyway, Fulbright or not. But I hope you do get paid to come here so you can see many JRock concerts. The squee will be strong with you, my friend.

You should come see me in Nara when you come to Japan...even though I'm totally unexciting and don't like to travel really. But yes.

Do I even want to know what "towel bondage" is?

Hey, don't bash on the subtitles. "Asoko" could... perhaps... have just as many subtexts and "yes" does in English. For instance:
there!
there it is, the goal of my searching!
there it is, an end to this nightmare...
there it is! a portkey to Cho's heart!
etc.

I do find the doctor paraphenalia a bit on the dodgy side. However, I would also have wondered about seeing you type the word "nipples", Doctor class or not. I mean, what, are you going to have the kids check little dolls for mono by having them feel the dolls up or something? That's just wrong, dude. That's just wrong.

There are...many types of towel bondage, grasshopper. Are you truly ready to know the way?

No really, you know how everyone in Japan carries a handtowel/dishtowel/handkerchief thing around with them everywhere? There are *so many things* you can do with those towels - your towel is one of the few personal accessories you're allowed to play with at school. Tying people up, blinding them, dragging them around, lassooing them, I've seen things man.... Kinky, kinky things. And the teachers just smile and nod and walk on past. Apparently this is normal preteen behavior. It's been so long, John! Is it true?

there it is! a portkey to Cho's heart!
OMG LOL.

However, I would also have wondered about seeing you type the word "nipples", Doctor class or not.
The whole point is that they wouldn't *understand* the word "nipples."

having them feel the dolls up or something?
Yes John. We practice with dolls. Just like the lap pillow. Soon they will be robot dolls.

What? You mean you've never tried to drag someone home with you with your handkerchief? What is WRONG with you?

Wow, you MUST bring one of these lap pillow things home with you. Or the strong shoulder pillow thing. I mean, can you imagine using one of those in public? Think about it. In fact, send me one! I'd break it out on the trains here and then "fall asleep" on it. The conductor would probably be too embarrassed to wake me up and ask for a ticket! Embarrassed and afraid... but we all know a little fear is a good thing.

And omg DODGY! ::points:: Britishism!!!

Stay strong in the ways of American grammar and spelling! Don't use which as a relative pronoun in a restrictive clause!

Hello, wandered in here off of jekesta's Friends list, and I wanted to mention something about your House comments. One thing that has been mentioned, and brought up even more often recently, is that House is in constant physical pain. Hence the frequent Vicodin popping, and yes, I do believe the writers to an extent use it as a tool to show his emotionally fucked up issues.

I do also agree that time might be a factor. When I was first thinking about the differences between Joe and House I was thinking about the difference between getting used to a normal existence of either a wheelchair or prosthetic limbs and dragging an injured leg after you all the time. But then I remembered Kerry on ER, and no, they don't make that much of an issue at all, but she's also mentioned not long ago that she's been dealing with that since childhood.

And more importantly than anything else: House is a prick! Of course he's whiny!

OMG your icon is fabulous.

Oh, I didn't even think of Kerry! So hmm. Maybe a combination of recentness, pain, House being House, and the writers being metaphor-happy.

Yes, such a prick, but a loveable one. ^_^ I wonder what *House* would do if some demon offered him two healthy legs.

Hmm, I wonder if House could out-bastard John Constantine.

Oh dear, I feel an ithurtsmybrain type fic coming on.

I <3 that icon as well. I don't have nearly enough amusing fandom-related icons.

Hah, he'd probably just assume the demon was lying.
