"I braved a hundred storms to leave you"

lishesquexSo I sent off three of my poems to banQuetpress for their 2012 anthology. I'm not sure if they'll consider my submissions because they seem to be focusing on erotica in 2012 and my poems tend to be about love and rainbows and ~*~feelings~*~. Worth a shot though.
Had to write an author biography, which I find ridiculously hard because I neither consider myself an author nor important enough to rate a biography. But here was Ingrid's answer to my dilemma:
Lilian is a teacher by day, dominatrix by night. She enjoys selling both her body and her crotchless granny panties on the Internet. When she's not teaching English, or hosting Paint & Pain Panty Parties, she enjoys writing poetry about unrequited love. She lives in Melbourne with her parents, who still yell at her to keep both her music and her moaning down.
This is what I actually wrote:
Lilian was born in China but grew up in Melbourne. She is an English and History teacher by day and a reclusive blogger/gamer/crazy cat lady by night. She likes reading fan fiction, talking about Vikings, and writing about unrequited Sapphic love. Often, she dreams of doing bigger things, such as moving to Norway to write poetry by the fjords.
In other news, I watched Thor today and loved it.
I expected it to be awful but it blew my expectations away and then whacked me in the face with the hammer of awesome. Natalie Portman played the part of a sweet, smart, determined astrophysist. I wanted to kiss her throughout most of the movie. Thor was annoying at first but the character development was such that you ended up rooting for him by the end.
The Norse mythology was accurate as far as I know. I never read the comic so I don't know if it was faithful to that. There was a random Xena reference, which made me happy inside.
There were just the right amount of unexpetedly lulzy moments that made audience laugh out loud. When Thor gets banished to earth, it really is like what happens when a Viking from the tenth century suddenly appears in modern society - the results are hilarious. The ending of the film was equal parts epic and bittersweet. I loved it.
Highly recommended to all. Just don't watch it in 3D - it's not worth the extra dollars as the effects are minimal, and I think it would look better without them.

lysachan. I really enjoyed it, even though it was pretty corny. I thought it was a really sweet movie. It helped that A.J. Cook was adorable.
