I sit on the side watching a bunch of young boys who are forced into manhood, watching them get drunker to what avail. No women, they secretly dance with each other, in the morning they won’t remember, as I listen to the CH-47 coming in for a landing….

The island just above France is called England. There is a Queen of England. The Prime Minister of England is Tony Blair, or no wait, I think it’s that large grumpy fellow now.
People in England use unusual words like ‘biscuit’ and don’t pronounce R’s. This is called a British accent. “Cheerio” is the usual term of greeting.

Asexuality is diverse and there are many different ways for asexuality to express. If you want to learn more about asexuality and the ace community, the AVEN Wiki is a good place to start.
Asexual people are not ‘broken,’ experiences of sexual assault, rape, abuse, etc. do not ‘turn people…

Interesting stuff. Some themes show up repeatedly. Names are a HUGE theme: people using different names to signal different things, names that only certain people are allowed to use, choosing names. Coming out is another: in the literal sense of characters coming out as LGBT, but also past relationships coming out, and of admitting things about oneself TO oneself. The last one is tension just...

These are the only times I flat-out lie:
1. In a life-or-death type situation (not too many of these have ever happened).
2. When I intend to make what I say true in the near future before the other person finds out it’s not true (e.g. “Is your homework done?” “Yes!”)
Everything else is true, even if only in the grammatical technicalities. For the purpose of this post, lying is defined as saying something...

If you divide the number of books I own by the years I’ve been alive
it comes out to 52 books per year. Or, 1 per week o_o
God that cannot be healthy. (Although thankfully I didn’t actually buy them all. My birthday and Christmas lists consist of basically fifteen books each year. And, uh, I don’t buy clothing?)

Stephen Fry: Can we settle an important question?
JK Rowling: Yes.
Stephen Fry: How do you pronounce your last name?
JK Rowling: It is Row-ling. As in rolling pin.
Stephen Fry: So if any of you hear someone pronounce her name “Rohw-ling”, you have my permission to hit them over the head with — not with Order of the Phoenix, that would be cruel. Something smaller, like a fridge.
