    <content type="html">Things What I Learned today when I Used Google, Mighty Boosh version. (With a minor cameo from Patrick Stump).&lt;br /&gt;by stungunbilly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Noel Fielding is a kaleidoscopic human goth &lt;a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/Noel%20Fielding/clairerhiannon/NoelFielding.jpg"&gt;doll.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nothing says &amp;quot;I really do love you, Howard&amp;quot; like the purchase of a bouncy castle for someone's special birthday.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydr8a3UHUy4"&gt;Mermen&lt;/a&gt; with tutus can be strangely alluring, in a terrifying way. Especially when they sing duets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Polar bears need love too.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Julian&lt;a href="http://www.chortle.co.uk/images/photos/small/jbarrett.jpg"&gt; Barratt &lt;/a&gt;is incredibly attractive for a geography teacher.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Noel and Julian are both pretty willing to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiO2jbwL98E"&gt;cross boundaries&lt;/a&gt; for a laugh. Which I, for one, deeply appreciate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;British comedians make crossovers very easy for us. See:&amp;nbsp;The IT&amp;nbsp;Crowd, Nathan Barley, The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Patrick Stump has officially broken up with &lt;strike&gt;Fallout Boy&lt;/strike&gt; Pete Wentz. But will his new album be a success? Google will tell us, of that we may rest assured. Now I feel like writing more Patrick/Frank enemy!sex.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I am so happy to have a new fandom. Especially since my old ones seem to be getting a little... troubled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also:&amp;nbsp;I missed you, you crazy beautiful fandom. You are still my bff/soulmate/egg in my quiche. Even when that quiche is a quiche of pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=stungunbilly&amp;ditemid=133288" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">I love manga unashamedly, for many, many reasons. Then again, so much manga hits my MAJOR&amp;nbsp;SQUICK&amp;nbsp;RUN&amp;nbsp;buttons that I go through periods of adoring it and running far, far away. Currently, I am in a flood season of manga once again. All sorts, but today is a yaoi kind of day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things I Learned in Yaoi Manga This Week, &lt;br /&gt;a short list but full of wonders&lt;br /&gt;by stungunbilly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cuteness in a man is a strong indication of gayness! If you're in a yaoi manga, that is Too bad there are no such clear markers in the real world!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For a number of mangaka, the distinction between &amp;quot;adorable like an infant bunny&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;hot as burning&amp;quot; seems not to exist. This... freaks me out traumatically. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yakuza are dangerous, but not as much as they are sexy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;High Schools are chock full of empty rooms that can be locked for assignations (at least in Japan).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Japanese school system only hires good-looking men under the age of 25.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Aliens always come to Earth looking for sex&lt;/strike&gt;. Yeah, I already knew that.*g*&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;No&amp;quot; may mean &amp;quot;no&amp;quot;, but &amp;quot;ie&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;doesn't mean that at all...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Regardless of how they treat women, handsome men are always surrounded by hordes of fanatical women dying to sacrifice themselves.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;...But don't worry, they are almost certainly gay and in love with some big-eyed uke who is completely oblivious. Women saved!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are a huge number of princes roaming around, destined to inherit the thrones of extremely obscure kingdoms. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pirates are secretly very caring, hard-working individuals.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transfiguration into an animal will leave you with cat ears nine times out of ten.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Glasses are not merely symbols of studious intelligence; they are also a good way to recognize a man who likes to wield the whip.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fine, so he likes to make you cry. Don't judge! He probably only messes with you out of &lt;strike&gt;lust&lt;/strike&gt; love! All is forgiven with orgasms, right?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Almost every well-mocked cliche of hurt/comfort slash is one of the mainstays of yaoi manga. Cultures vary, but people are people. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;And finally:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;All that stuff about how women don't like visual porn is totally ludicrous as a generalization.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=stungunbilly&amp;ditemid=132998" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Hello! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm stungunbilly, here as on livejournal, as on insanejournal. I've seemingly imported the lion's share of my entries, though unfortunately not the memories which I use to organize the bits and bobs of writing I do. Hopefully that will change soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My current primary fandom is Merlin, and my subfandom is the absorption of massive quantities of what yaoi manga I can find that is 1)completely translated 2)starring adults and 3)entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also waiting v.v. impatiently for the discs of the second half of season two of Torchwood. Jack! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's me; tell me what you're into. Pimp, if you wish; I love when folks get excited and also? I'm kind of easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love new things, shiny things, and fandom. This whole dw thing makes me really happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=stungunbilly&amp;ditemid=132496" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
