Because just look at the frigging movie and tell me it wasn't tailor-made for this challenge. And because I want to try my hands on new caps, goddamit.

I'm sure most of my flist do not wish to have their posts/comments crossposted to Facebook and/or Twitter, no? So.


This was originally posted by the wonderful emiliglia. So I'm spreading the love!




As many of you are probably aware, LJ released the option to link your posts/comments to Facebook and/or Twitter, which was probably one of the dumbest things they've ever done since anyone with Twitter seems to already have their LJ friends on it, and then Facebook and LJ are the lines that never, ever cross. Because I, for one, don't need my cousin's 12 year olds to find the mansex I write.

The following line of code, though, doesn't just hide the repost boxes to you like the Greasemonkey code for Firefox going around does. It completely removes the option for everyone viewing your journal or community. I've done it for this comm as well as my personal journal.

1. Go to Journal > Journal Style

2. Go to Customize your theme

3. Go to Custom CSS

4. Copy and paste .b-repost-item {display:none} (make sure you're just getting the bolded text) into the Custom stylesheet

5. Save changes

Now not only can you not crosspost comments, but anyone viewing your account can't either. This doesn't get rid of the reposting option when you're making a new entry, but at least that one's easy to avoid.

And I'm back. For good, hopefully. Waking up at 3AM in the morning and going to bed at 1AM with only two hours of sleep in between is not a good routine when your college is located very, very far away from your house and you're not allowed to drive. Oh, and there's the mountainload of assignments. And seniors yelling at you IN YOUR FACE if you fail/don't perform to their satisfaction.

(if life is a movie, there would be flashbacks. Unpleasant flashbacks.)

In short, I hate College Orientation.

On the brightside, I learned how to sing Gaudeamus Igitur, which is, even under the circumtances, a beautiful song, and it somewhat motivates me to learn latin. Seriously. So, in order to celebrate the end of the period I will never refer fondly to, I decided to splurge on books.

And I read The Hunger Games.



Okay, that book deserves another post. I mean, OHMYGOD, KATNISS. /flails



And, even though I'm like, eleven days late;


Also, here's wishful thinking that the whole 'Building a Mosque around the 9-11 Ground Zero Area' debacle will end in a way that encourages religion tolerance, not islamxenophobia and fearmongering. I'm allowed to be hopeful once in a while, am I not?

College Orientation is hell.

I will probably be missing from your flist until the end of August (except for community stuff, I guess). Feel free to cut me if you're doing a cut.

Avatar fandom, you're probably the only fandom who can create ship!wank out of your butt when your beloved series got another season.

Still reeling from Inception.

Watch it. It's pretty and difficult and probably not for everyone's taste, but seriously, watch it. I'm still contemplating my feelings about this movie but it is, practically, the highlight of my current summer movies; tied with Toy Story 3 but you know comparing them would be wrong on so many levels.

• SPAIN- As much as I love Netherlands :(
• WINNING BY A 80+-minute-something GOAL. (Why, Spain? For MAXIMUM HEARTBREAK? It's a success, by the way)
• Top scorer's not going to be Villa/Sneijder
• 1-0 scorecard; I don't know whether to love or hate Spain for this

Anyway, thanks for the great time, World Cup. You've been my boyfriend since 2002, and even with dissapointments, I still love you.

NEXT: BRAZIL 2014; PREDICTION FOR CHAMPIONS: I think Germany's due, aren't they?

PS: Spain, don't follow the steps of France and Italy and Greece (if you watch Euro), okay? Just don't.

SPAAAIN :D

And PAUL THE OCTOPUS the 1-0 killer strikes again! Hey, on the 73rd minute is an improvement :) And well, Puyol. I had bet Villa, but yeah. SO CONGRATULATIONS MY GOOD-LOOKING SPANISH MEN~ Hee, I watched the match with the commentary in spanish- "DAHVEED VHEEYLLA! DAHVEED VHEEYLA!!" LOL forever. Ah, accents. Gotta love them.




Oh, Germany.

I'm.. sad. (Happy and sad at the same time? Let's go with it) I still love you, Mannschaft. You have entertained me more than any other team in this world cup by thrashing both England and Argentina with lovely, lovely eight friggin' goals. I love your post-group stage games so much. Just. Aww. Hey! At least you're still one of the most consistent teams ever in the past three (including this year's) World Cup! Finalist, Semifinalist, and Semifinalist AGAIN isn't bad. Take your Third Place now, kay?

Sorry Uruguay, still angry about Ghana.


SOOO, NETHERLANDS VS. SPAIN. HEE. BOTH HAVE NEVER WIN THE WORLD CUP. I AM CONFLICTED. (Also, haha. Remember Spanish Netherlands? History.) AND GERMANY, YOU BETTER WIN THIRD PLACE BECAUSE YOU DESERVED IT MORE THAN URUGUAY.

WOOO NETHERLANDS WOOO!! And that was an exciting game! Haha.

Okay, Europe. I take everything back. Clearly when I thought your football teams suck I did not take into account that 3 out of 4 semifinalists will be from your continent. And with the final being All-European match. Hee.

Uruguay, sorry. I still hate you after Ghana.

TONIGHT: GERMANY/SPAIN. WHO WILL YOU ROOT FOR? (Good God, tumblr is exploding due to many conflicted feelings) Match of The Year, Y/Y? I LOVE THEM BOTH I CAN'T CHOOSE ;_;

(then again, Germany has been bulldozing everything in sight. But Spain is pesky in their way of doing last-minute-winning goals. Paul The Octopus picked Spain. But Mick Jagger is rumored to support Spain, and we all know how Mick Jagger-supported teams ended up. See: Brazil, Argentina, England.)
