Nicholas Sparks stated that he has no contemporaries. No one else does what he does. He writes unpredictable love stories, not trashy run-of-the-mill romance novels like Shakespeare.

The huge image at the top of the article pretty much sums up everything. Yeah, the link has "SPOILERS" but if you like Nicholas Sparks books/movies, you shouldn't be clicking on that link anyway.

I remember activating ninja mode whenever people started talkingraving about The Notebook when it first came out. I'm so meh about it.

Someone posted this image on the recent ontd_startrek Party Post:

Of course someone asks for more info about it because they don't entirely get it, but apparently, I don't entirely get it as well. I know the words are from "Always" by Erasure, but Robot Unicorn Attack? Really?

I'm going to go back into my cave with all the other old people, and listen to Always until the rage fades.

Srsly? An argyle tattoo?

The Photoshopped mockup is bad enough. It's so... so very...

[23:55] TakahashiBrat: toma uses cute words a lot ;_;
[23:56] HyprKourin: you're just a sucker for him :p
[23:56] TakahashiBrat: like "chii" names and "daccha" and adds hearts to things a lot.
[23:56] TakahashiBrat: well who does that?? honestly.
[23:56] HyprKourin: he could approach you in a dark alley and say "y halo thar, buttsex?" and you'd be like "SURE! ****_***"
[23:56] TakahashiBrat: no one else adds hearts :P
[23:56] TakahashiBrat: HAHA well maybe TRUE but still.
[23:56] HyprKourin: hohoho
[23:57] TakahashiBrat: he'd be like "y halo thar, buttsex? ....ne~~?? :DDD *^_^*!!"
[23:57] HyprKourin: ah i stand corrected :p
[23:57] TakahashiBrat: and i'd be like "omg cuuute~" coz i'm STUPID.
[23:57] TakahashiBrat: *cries*
[23:59] HyprKourin: and then you'd let him buttsex you up, with sparkles and hearts :p
[00:01] TakahashiBrat: yep
[00:01] TakahashiBrat: and i just would um, conveniently not tell my boyfriend.
[00:02] TakahashiBrat: i'm a wonderful person~~ :D
[00:02] HyprKourin: it's Toma
[00:02] HyprKourin: of course you're excused!!! :D
[00:03] HyprKourin: of course i'd want to hear the dirty details since i'm a fangirl but i don't even know your boyfriend so i can't even tell him :D
[00:05] TakahashiBrat: how perfectly convenient!
[00:05] HyprKourin: everyone gets something out of it :D
[00:05] TakahashiBrat: well, it's settled then, clearly i will have to make arrangements to run into Toma in a dark alley.
[00:06] TakahashiBrat: and clearly he will be lewd and take advantage of me.
[00:06] HyprKourin: XD
[00:06] HyprKourin: while being cute
[00:06] TakahashiBrat: yes. lewd and cute. coz that's ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.

The "toma" in question is Ikuta Toma.
