Cool blogs and other sites!

So, I've had a ton of people ask me where I find all of my cool/cute/scary things around the interwebs.


Usually, I first send them to my Delicious bookmarks account: http://www.delicious.com/YokaiAkito
Delicious is a pretty awesome account that allows me to bookmark any cool sites I find in Firefox (using the down-loadable add-on), and simultaneously upload them to my public account! I can also add a description for the site, and tag each site to make it easier to search for!

I also recommend just going through the 'links' section of any of the blogs you follow to find ones of similar tastes. Here's a few I like! XD

- My number one cute stuff blog! Features videos, tutorials, artwork, fashion tips, and lots of other cool stuff! XD

- Another cute stuff blog! I really like this one as well because it has lots of stuff about female issues as well as cute things!

 - http://www.madatoms.com/ - Mad Atoms is frikkin hilarious! It has lots of snarky charts about current politics and pop-culture as well as actual articles.

- Cracked is filled with so much awesome. I have literally spent several hours being lots in the amazing-ness of their "Recommended for Your Pleasure' link system.

 - http://www.marcandangel.com/ - This is a blog mainly dedicated to getting you to think deeply about different things. They also have helpful tips and tricks about life in general! (as well as a few about more specific things like the internets!)

 - http://www.lacarmina.com/ - La Carmina is so AWESOME! XD Her blog contains so much information about alternative Japanese and American culture that it's a bit overwhelming! She has also written three books and regularly is a writer for CNNgo's website! So, make sure to check her out!

 - http://www.the-clitoris.com/ - This might seem like a bit much for a blog about awesome stuff, but oh well! XD I personally think this website is one of the best female sexuality resources out there. It has seriously helped me out waaaaaaay more than my Freshaman year Personal Health class did... -_-;;;  Not only does it provide lots of info about vaginas and sex in general, it also provides many links to websites about birth control, breast health, puberty, and organizations that for women's health!




Well, these are just some general websites that I love a lot! I hope they help you guys out~! XD

Genderbend-ed and male version songs

I recently noticed a trend in the videos I keep adding to my fav list on Youtube. I have quite a few 'genderbend-ed' songs (IE: Where people have modified the original song itself using a program like Audacity) and male versions of songs (IE: Where a male singer covers a song originally done by a female.).

So, here's a few of my favs! XD

Don't say lazy - K-On! Ending:

My favorite K-On! edit of them all! This song sounds SO AWESOME! XD

Sakura Rock - Hitman Reborn Ending:

I really like this one because it sounds authentic! This could totally could have been sang by an Oshare-kei band! XD

I Kissed a Boy - Cobra Starship:

The lead singer changed up most of the lyrics to this song, but I still like it. Though, now it sounds really mean and aggressive ....


You Outta Know - The Killing Moon:

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MALE COVER EVER!!!! XD XD XD
Not a single lyric to this song was changed, and it sounds like the lead boy's boyfriend left him for another woman. Which is like a double kick to the crotch! XP

 Hope you guys enjoyed those songs~! XD

Prepping for NANOWRIMO~!

Okay, so truthfully, I am not actually participating in NANOWRIMO this year...or probably any year for that matter. While I do enjoy reading, my talents are more used to fan-fiction, really angsty poetry, and short stories that would be right at home in a Japanese Light-novel.

....but for all of you awesome people that are going to participate in it (or just enjoy writing), here are some cool links to help you out~! XD

http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/
The Young Writer's Program part of NANOWRIMO. I really like the "Dare Machine" it has on the front page.

http://creativewritingprompts.com/
Very cool website that has over 500 prompts! It also has lots of links to other writing websites.

http://writesparks.com/
Nifty writing program that has several generators and prompts already installed on it. You can download the 'lite' version for free, and it never expires! XD

http://languageisavirus.com/
I really LOVE this website! It has lots of articles on how to get through writer's block and get your stuff published, prompts, generators, word-based games, a forum, and even cool links to help distract you for a bit!

http://www.seventhsanctum.com/
BEST WEBSITE EVER! No joke, kids. Trust me on this one. XP Website completely dedicated to generators; from normal ones such as names and quick story ideas to Sentai team names and a 'Bishotron!' XD

Hope this helps you guys out a bit! And good luck writing~! ^_^// \\^_^

Fairy-kei Time~! X3

I am totally in LOVE with Fairy-kei! X3

It's kind of like Decora, but favors lighter, pastel colors than neons. There is also more of a retro feel with Fairy-kei with lots of inspiration taken from 80s cartoons and dolls.
