Milk.

I have just seen one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen in my life.

Yeah, I've been talking about watching 'Milk' lately, and so I have. And it was moving. So very, very, moving.

I feel an extremely deep sense of respect for Harvey Milk right now. It's like he envisioned a better place for everyone (and not just gays), and had the guts to do something about it, out of the closet and openly fighting against gay discrimination.

He died a legend and will remain a legend.

So inspiring.

And I think he's right. If every single homosexual person were to step out of the closet, there would have to be someone we know who's gay or lesbian, and that would make us see things differently, that being homosexual isn't a sickness (like many idiots out there still believe), nor that it makes one horribly perverse, but that some "perfectly ordinary" people can be homosexual too.

Equal rights and acceptance, that's what we're striving for.

Oh why is it so hard to accept people for who they are?

Hmm yeah, now that I come to think of it, I find it a bit hard to accept close-minded people who are racist, homophobic or treat others like crap and other unreasonable reasons to hate other people.

Okay, I need sleep now.

Arrivederci.

P.S. First day in two weeks without 'Anna Karenina' and I feel hopelessly lost. Need to get something else to read or I'll probably lose my mind.

"Beautiful, what's your hurry?"

Just finished reading Anna Karenina, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience.

Everything was so well written and delivered, and all the characters thoughts and emotions were spelt out and described, and when (SPOILER ALERT) Anna was losing her mind I thought I was going to go mad along with her.

I loved how everything was so thorough and thought-through, and how opinions were expressed and how each character had a clearly defined personality.

It was like watching a television drama, except you had to like, read the words off the page and there was no unnecessary added sex appeal and/or humour just so a wider range of people would be able to enjoy it.

Awesomeness awesomeness awesomeness.

Daniel Handler did right to talk about it in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. Thanks, man.

Speaking of which, I think I might start re-reading the series. Again.

Watching How I Met Your Mother now, because the happenings in the lives of fictional characters interest me greatly.

Bought 'Milk' the day before after lunch with my dad and brother. I'm kind of annoyed at myself because I felt a bit embarrassed when the guy at the counter tested it out for me. I shouldn't have been, but I was.

I will no longer care about what others think about my opinion on sexuality. I am open and if anybody wants to judge me for it then let it be.

So yeah, hopefully I'll find the time to watch Milk soon.

Going off now. Show's finished loading.

Night.

P.S. "Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach." -Aristotle

Klaine.

Watching Glee right now, but with atrocious home internet it's just really slow so while waiting for it to load I'm here.

This episode is so Christmassy, I feel myself getting all excited about Christmas even though my family doesn't celebrate the holiday.

But, growing up under so much (how do I put this) foreign influence, I totally love the Christmas feel. It's so happy, and money-wasting, what's not to like? Oh so much commercialism.

Bringing the topic back round to Glee, I've just seen Blaine's duet with Kurt and it is so adorable I feel the need to watch it multiple times before I'm satisfied with just how cute they look together. (And for Darren Criss too, of course. So, so charming.)

I'm so glad that a show like Glee is aware of and is raising awareness of homosexuality, and how it's totally okay to be gay or lesbian or bisexual or a tranny. It's okay, because all that matters is who you are on the inside and how you treat other people, and not your sexual orientation.

I'd much rather be friends with a homosexual than with a straight asshole. It's common sense.

And yeah, I think that a lot of people are super ignorant about all this sexuality stuff. People are born with their sexual orientation, and you can't "turn" anybody gay or straight. It's science.

Glee is such a popular television show right now, and it's one of the biggest things to have ever happened to modern television last year, and since it's airing in many parts of the world, having them have such an influence over their viewers is a great thing.

Ah, the power of television.

Okay, I'm off now. Have more of Glee to watch.

Adieu.

P.S. Did you hear they have a petition trying to jail Frank Iero? Turns out it was started by some spoof church website. It's hilarious. Frankie is innocent and we know it.

Cousin points.

Waiting for my brother to fall asleep so I can laugh at YouTubers doing/saying stupid things without my mum telling me off.

This is officially the funniest video I have ever seen. Man, I can't sit through ten seconds without bursting into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

And this is a bloody hard game to play. There has to be some way of playing that gets the poor, seemingly muscle-less guy to the finish line a hundred metres away. I've seen people do it online, but I'm just not bothered to waste any more of my time trying to help the poor thing out.

Anyway, it totally goes to show that it takes a huge lot of effort for us to walk and move about, 'cause there are quite a few muscles that need to be controlled and an awareness of our surroundings to be taken care of.

Man, we're awesome beings. Such complexity.

Went out to Limbang today with an uncle and three cousins. And my mum and brother.

Learnt about "cousin points", this new theory one of my cousins has. According to him, the more you get to know your cousins, the more cousin points you earn, and therefore he'll reward you with some stuffed toy or money or something if you've managed to accumulate a certain number of cousin points.

It's funny. I like that a nine/ten year old sees the value of cousinship (this is a real word, I swear it).

Didn't do much there, ate, walked around, used the bathroom, bought some food, came back.

Nothing eventful really happened, except at some point my brother started singing the theme song to 'Angelina Ballerina' really loudly in the car and then we all tried to annoy him by singing a rousing rendition of the theme to 'Little Einsteins'.

In conclusion, I think kids nowadays watch too much television.

Okay, I'mma go off now, 'cause I've got an episode of 'How I Met Your Mother' and the latest Shaytards vlog to watch.

Adieu.

P.S. Yeahp, still reading Anna Karenina. Savouring every little bit with Levin and Oblonsky in it. Levin is a great guy and Oblonsky's such a dear.

Wedding cake.

I think I must've seen this video at least thirty times over. It's funny, and it's catchy.

I have to say Chester See has an amazing voice.

Speaking of YouTube, Kurt Schneider and Sam Tsui were on Ellen the other day, which is so cool.

I remember when people were watching their early videos going "these guys are good, they should be more famous than they are now" and now it's really happening.

So, so cool.

I have officially sunk into the horrible pit of holiday idleness and I need to get out.

Need to start waking up earlier, and accomplishing things apart from eating, hanging around the house and going back to sleep again.

It's like I'm wasting my life away being all relaxed. Is it wrong to become agitated from being relaxed for too long? Or does that mean I never actually settled into "relaxing" properly? I'm unsure.

Planning to try out some video and editing stuff tomorrow. I mean, since I have Final Cut Pro 7 I might as well play around with it to bide my time.

Oh, and I've just seen this video, which is of Alex Day (aka nerimon) in New York to watch the American Idiot musical, and it totally reminded me of me being in Tokyo and alone and intimidated by the locals.

And the fun part is him talking about how it's strange being on top of the Empire State Building and not having anyone to share the view with, which was exactly what I felt like when I was in the Tokyo Tower. It feels so good to know that someone else understands what it's like. Especially when that someone else is a well-known British YouTuber.

Oh so many links this post.

All right, better be off now. Only read a few pages of Anna Karenina today and I need more.

Adieu.

P.S. Sometimes I'm thankful for our relatively monotonous weather, but sometimes I kind of do wish we lived in a more temperate region. But yeah we get loads of rain here so it's fine. I like rain.

Went out to watch this French film earlier on this evening.

It was called 'Mia et le Migou' and it was strange.

Oh yeah it was. It had a rather direct message about conserving the environment in a strange 'Avatar-like' way and it was strange. Oh so strange.

So there's a girl, who's dad went off to work for the construction of the big bad thing that's going to damage the "Eywa" of the world of the "Migou" (who're supposed to protect the tree), and then suddenly one day she decides to go off on a trek across Mexico (or something) to go look for him. Alone.

So the girl who lives alone (although it's hinted that she's placed under the care of three old women of whom we have no idea of their origins and of their relations to her) and has no money at all goes off to look for her papa.

And there's this other kid whose dad is kinda like an asshole and is the mastermind behind the construction of the big bad thing that'll damage the environment and blah blah blah they rescue the planet because the Migou manage to replant the tree.

It's just so strange and questionable. But yeah, its picture had a great play of light.

There's this thing going on Facebook right now about changing your display picture to a picture of a cartoon from your childhood to show your support against child violence.

I don't see how it can help other than raise awareness, but it's fun to join in.

And seeing all those cartoon characters again kinda makes me miss my childhood. You know, the days of watching Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and laughing and loving those cartoons.

Ah, those were the days.

Poor kids nowadays don't know what they're missing. I say we should bring back old cartoons, so us teenagers and little kids can watch cartoons together and have a great time. Great cartoons shouldn't die out. They should stay to entertain little children for generations to come.

All right, going off now.

Getting distracted by YouTube. Oh so much talent out there.

Night.

P.S. Decided "Benzyl" is a way cooler name than "Benzaldehyde". My future kid is going to hate me.

Jack Skellington.

Man, it's December already, which means that Christmas is near, and tonnes of people are going to get married.

I don't know why, but it's always like a lot of people get married in December.

Anyway, spent the last few days playing The Sims 3 (finally reinstated my account on thesims3.ea.com so now I can continue not downloading anything and thanking the internet for free custom content websites), getting re-acquainted with my electric and amplifier and sweet solos I can't pull off, and reading 'Anna Karenina' (oh so brilliant).

Had dinner at an uncle's house yesterday. Cousin has this awesome anti-Bieber t-shirt.

Yeah, I've seen the latest episode of Glee. Well, I don't really know what to say. It's like they totally rushed into sectionals. But I think I like Darren Criss increasingly each episode. If he doesn't end up as Kurt's boyfriend I think I might stop watching Glee altogether (I kid). There's just something about gay men.

Anyway, I think that's probably the only episode of Glee ever where there wasn't any Sue Sylvester. Like, how weird is that? Didn't her hatred of the Glee club kind of like, form the backbone of Glee season 1? And now it's all like, this person is hooking up with that person and this person is breaking up with that person, and like, he's gay. Also, Will Schuester needs to pull himself together.

Better stop myself before I spoil anything for anyone.

All right, I'mma go off now.

Adieu.

P.S. Is it weird that I feel like getting myself a tattoo of Jack Skellington when I'm older? Maybe it's just a phase that will pass.
