Ok so first of all don't worry too much about that last post. I was a bit stressed towards the end of last week and it carried through a little  through the weekend. I am however feeling a lot better today and have started to calm down.

I'm also going to steal the meme "Lucky Kaa"  was tagged with and post one good thing about each day to help put me back in my usual positive frame of mind

Todays entry:
Work gave me an ipod nano for christmas!
There is also a Christmas Party tonight with lots of food and I get to look purrrty. :)
 

1) List 5 celebrities you find sexy as hell. (There's no one I'd  sleep with without some  dates and a few questions, but these guys would probably not need to many of either to get me into bed with them. There's far too many celebrities I find "appealing" to go to just five, those would be the honourable mentions and then some...I think I may still be coming across as dirtier thanshewhohashope and ariskari here, but oh well.)
2) Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them [5 - 1, 1 is the hottest].- Difficult, Difficult
3) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
4) Supply photos for said people.

5) Tag five people:  I don't do tagging, but please join in the fun!

( Bring on the hotties! )

can't wait for campaign on sunday!

Right. To those of you who don't NORMALLY read this blog, here's  a little context.  I'm a fiction writer, and I have an original series  in the works. The main characters are A 30 year old chinese/british female,  a black male, a white female and a white undead male.

The main romance is between the half chinese vampire hunter and the black cop. To be honnest when writing them I tend not to think too much about their race.  Although I realise now that  Jessica, despite starting out as an effort to write  a chinese character not using martial arts, has ironically ended up in a position where their the most likely form of combat for her to know.  Oh well,  that's the way the story ended up, and  Jess is  too much her own person in my head to really conform to any single  stereotype.  Juma too, is entirely his own person.

At any rate, I'll probably  do more on writing  those two characters, and people of races other than mine,  later.  Right now I've got a little ranting to do.

I've been trying to play around with  windows movie maker and put together fake "trailers" of my stories.   This means I've been going lookign for  videos to  use  on you tube, and amongst other searches, I looked for  something to use for the standard "main couple kiss under pressure" sequence.

It  was  way harder than I anticipated.  

Why is that?  You ask.    Ahh well you see this is because,  THERE ONLY SEEM TO BE ABOUT  TWO  BLACK/Oriental couples COUPLES IN THERE ENTIRITY OF FICTION!

At least that I've read.

 Wesley Snipes, and   Marie Matiko, play a chinese translator and an african american blackops guy   in a thriller called "The art of war". It was a wonderful film, for which i dearly loved mr snipes. That is till he made himself look a bit of an idiot  by  commiting tax fraud and then going on the run. *Shakes head*. Now is neither the time or the place to criticise mr snipes however. 

The OTHER  pairing,  is  on  "Grey's Anatomy". Dr Yang and Dr Burke ended up providing most of the "couple" material for said trailers.    However  Dr Yang is actually Korean, as she states during the series, so i feel a little bit guilty using her as a stand in for my half -chinese character.

However, when these are the only two couples I seem able to find on you tube that fit this  pairing,  I think i'm going to have to settle  till I find somethin better.

Now I'm aware that even in real life this isn't the most common  relationship dynamic, and it doesn't seem to be  because of  overt racism, though it might be  partly due to sublter discrimination or cultural pressure to marry into your own group.  However, surely it warrants somewhat  more  representation in the media than this?

It just seems odd and somewhat wrong to me,  because if I was looking for african woman kissing white  men, I wouldn't have this problem  at all.  White women kissing black men...a little harder but still not exactly difficult. So why is it minorities if their not paired with their own race, have to be paired with the majority whites. Why can't  different  "Minority" races  be seen together in the movies.  Is it because movie makers think we'll get bored if there isn't at least one white person scoring a snog?

Well Ayaarn was promoting this and I figured I'd do my part.

f you would like to participate, here's what to do:

1. Announce the week in your blog.

2. Switch your default icon to either an official IBAR week icon, or one which you feel is appropriate. To get an official IBAR week icon, you may modify one of yours yourself or ask someone to do so. Here's a round up of IBARW icons.

3. Post about race and/or racism: in media, in life, in the news, personal experiences, writing characters of a race that isn't yours, portrayals of race in fiction, review a book on the subject, etc.

ibarw is the official LJ site for this event, go there for more info!
 
Being a white  female of  middle class background I don't exactly  experience racism often, but I'd like to think I don't inflict it on others.  This does mean however that I'll probably  be blogging about writing characters of races other than my own, since this is one of the issues I feel I might be able to contribute to quite well.

Right, so it's coming up on the end of the week and we've moved everything down to Brighton that's going there, including stuff that's eventualy going on to my university room. This has involved considerable work and I am pooped. In the end help from fellow swarmites was not needed, though thanks to those who offered.

I'm gonna pretty much unavoidably be living in boxes til I can move the rest out to uni, but my oom is quite pretty. The net isn't set up, (i'm using pete's computer) which presents it's usual hasles but i'lll try and keep people in the loop.

Still a few things that need doing, but I'll list those in a to do list or something. The great part? Next week I've got to back to london and help mum pack all the stff going back to switzerland

Apparently I've changed somewhat, at uni, who'd have guessed?

Basically I took this test before, and got the same result as Mags has up in an earlier journal entry. Out of vague interest I took it again, and got this, which I do feel is in some ways more accurate, especially in that the kind of person it recommends dating does not seem as likely to drive me insane as the type previously recommended.

The Window Shopper Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD) Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on an romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper. You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life. You're a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it's likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones. You've had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there'll be much more to come. Your exact female opposite: The Stiletto Deliberate Brutal Sex Master Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you're especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns. Your ideal match is someone who'll love you back with equal fire, and someone you've grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad.
