ABOUT ME: June. Deeply caustic entity in her MID 20s, part writer and part professional lunatic.

ABOUT THIS JOURNAL: This journal is what insanity looks like, dissected lengthwise and spread out on a mounting board. Dig deep enough into its archives and you will observe fossilized strata of fandoms past.

Expect lame art. Posts about my pathetic life. Implied (and sometimes blatantly explicit) homoeroticism. Run-on sentences. Also: murder, mayhem, and all else we hold near and dear. SEMI FRIENDS-ONLY.

So I know I haven't updated in yoinks. Quite a bit has happened-- freelanced for a bit, had a bunch of money nightmares here and there, and finally landed a job as a writer (surprise surprise) in a local games development company. (Don't get so excited, the life of a games writer not really as glamorous as it sounds.)

As apparent from my New Years' greeting image, I've also gotten addicted to Angry Birds (&^!%&!%#$!^%!!! #angrybirdsisthedevil) and BBC's Merlin series. OMG, how cute is Colin Morgan, I ask you? Cuter than both my dogs put in a blender together with a litter of month-old kittens, I'll tell you that.

You might have noticed, however, that my LJ has now gone friends-only-- all my posts are now f-locked, something I used to reject in the past because I am a terrible vainpot and love getting the Google hits.

But there is a reason for this!

Over the past couple of months, I've decided to move the bulk of my serious-serious blogging to Wordpress, where I've started up a couple of blogs. Said blogs are where I'll focus the bulk of my online writing, geekery and insanity. Here:


The Magical Harkow.
My main blog, and a chronicle of the local geek life. I post art, reviews, con reports, articles about my life & my ukelele-playing... bascially everything I used to post to this LJ, except with a less fannish angle and a more an RL-ish, Singaporean, This Is The Life Of Geek! take on things. In recent entries, for example, I have posted a review of Tron: Legacy, photos of my cosplaying exploits at the local comics convention (I went as Quorra), videos from my ukelele open-mic night (we rickrolled the audience), and a report of a party I went to... for an Internet cat celebrity. All the weird and wacky stuff. (Don't ask about the blog title. I'm not even sure I can explain it myself. It's magical dim sum!)

Mischief. Misrule. Miss Hallelujah.
This is my FICTION blog. I post (mostly) short bits of web fiction I want to share with the world. One of my resolutions for 2011 is to write and post more fiction, so hopefully this blog will be seeing a lot of regular action.


I haven't been pushing these blog as much as I'd like to, so they haven't been getting the pageviews. If you liked what I used to post here on this LJ--the madness, or the writing, or simply the general sense of WTF, June??-- I'd recommend subscribing/adding either blog to your RSS feed, as that's where I'll be chucking the good stuff. (Really! I promise!)

What happens to this LJ, you ask? Well, it's not going anywhere, that's for certain. The reason I friends-locked it was so that I can post the more personal stuff that I don't want floating freehold around them world-wide-webs when I am eighty and wise and likely to be embarrassed by this sort of thing. So expect a lot of intense self-indulgent navel-gazing here. Or random bouts of squee that are embarrassing and/or bordering-on-the-mildly-creepy. Actually, knowing me, it'll probably end up being all random bouts of squee that are embarrassing and/or bordering-on-the-mildly-creepy.


So. How were your Christmases and New Years, my lovelies?


P.S.If it isn't already clear, I still can't watercolor paint to save my life. Have absolutely no idea why I thought it would be a good idea in the first place.

Now, I'm not saying that Lady GaGa IS a Cylon. But don't you think it's strange how she's in the news all the time, yet nobody has ever found evidence that she isn't one? Her name is GaGa for goodness' sakes! Does that sound remotely like a human name to you? I DON'T THINK SO! I know, I know, my f-list is all "June, you sound like a crazy person", but I'm just trying to see a bigger pattern here. I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS!

Also, I searched YouTube for Six/Baltar videos set to Bad Romance and there was nothing. Nothing! INTERNET, I AM DISAPPOINT.


Yeah, I'm planning to pick up BSG where I left off in Season 1 this weekend. You could tell?


ETA!! Whoa whoa, hold the presses. Now, since the beginning of 2009 I have been keeping a diary of thoughts, scribbles and short fiction on my Moleskine Color-A-Month little daily planners.

I flipped back to the 2nd January entry. It reads:

Lady GaGa is a killer robot from the future. I don't know how I know this, but it's true. It's not about the way she dresses or the fake wigs or the manufactured pop persona. It's they eyes that do it for me. Something about the way the light reflects that says, "I was not created by the same forces that went into making you."

The rumors say every fifteenth person has the gene that makes them able to tell killer robots from the future from normal humans. Guess you're looking at one of them.

COINCIDENCE? OR PART OF SOMETHING... BIGGER?
