    I promised myself one of the first things I’d do after finishing classes was make a big photoset of all the official art that features them with their arms around each other. There’s a lot of it.  I feel good about my life right now.

  8. Ryuk’s original concept art. Takeshi Obata wanted to design Ryuk as an “attractive rock star”, but scrapped the idea at the thought that Ryuk shouldn’t be more attractive than the main character, Light. In How to Read 13,  Obata states that Ryuk’s current grotesque face could be a mask to hide his “real” face, and therefore Ryuk may still technically look like this in canon.

  9. “Being asexual instead of sexual is like being left-handed instead of right-handed. It’s not the way most people are, but it is no better or worse than being anything else. In a classroom with movable one-arm desks, a right-handed person can sit anywhere; a left-handed person can either sit in discomfort at a desk made for the right-handed or locate a left-handed desk and be as comfortable as everyone else. It takes a little more effort for the left-handed person to fit in, but that is because culture is dominated by the right-handed, not because a left-handed person is biologically inferior.”

    I love this quote so much, and I think it’s applicable to much more than just asexuality.

  11. anneirieldevay: hannahshikari: kuroros: milkteaxx: honeybee’s lastest series, schedule to be release in 2013. on psp platform. Identical twins sibling, chitose and chihaya, went back to the rural town that they once lived. They reunited with old friends and be invited to join the club, “Seishun-bu”. You are able to choose chitose (woman) or chihaya (man) as the main character (each have a different ending). This game not only focus on love, but also friendship. So do you choose between otome game and bl game.  From looking at the picture, why does more than half the cast kinda remind me of Starry Sky characters? Some characters are reminding me of Suzuya, Azusa and… Shiki. Shoot me.

  12. Do you Suffer from Imposter Syndrome?

    onlinecounsellingcollege:

    Impostor syndrome is apsychological condition where people are unable to believe in their successes. Thus, despite the evidence that points to the fact that they are skilled, capable and competent they write this off as temporary – or timing and good luck. Thus, they constantly struggle with feeling like a fraud.

    So what are some ways that you can counteract this syndrome?

    1.    Admit this is something that you suffer from. When we know we’re not alone, and our symptoms have a name (because they are part of an identified disorder) it can help disperse the feelings of anxiety and shame.

    2.    Distinguish between facts and feelings. Everyone feels stupid and inept at times. That doesn’t mean we’re stupid. Our feelings aren’t facts. So try to be objective - and seek out the real truth.

    3.    Don’t demand perfection. It is good to set goals and have high standards for yourself. However, it’s unhealthy to obsess over every little thing. You’ll simply waste a lot of time and never feel quite satisfied. And all of us are human and make lots of mistakes.

    4.    Take a look at the rules you have imposed upon yourself.  Are you saying to yourself: “I have to always get it right”;”I should never ask for help”; or “It is bad to make mistakes”? These are misguided rules that undermine your self-esteem. They set you up for failure as they close the door to help.

    5.    Change the tapes in your head. Instead of constantly repeating faulty self-destructive thoughts (such as “Wait till they discover just how useless I am”) replace it with a thought that builds esteem and confidence. (Such as, “I’m better at this now as I know what I am doing … It’s so much easier when you’ve been here for a while.”)

    6.    Don’t look to others to affirm your success. Don’t look to other people to rate and judge your work. Set your own personal goals, and mark your progress and success.

    7.       Fake it till you make it. Almost every individual who succeed in life has a period when they’re acting, as they don’t feel confident. It doesn’t mean that they’re a failure, a fake or a fraud. It means that they’re still learning, and are not afraid to try.

  13. How To Make Your Love Last

    sobrangselosa:

    By Marie Calica for Yahoo! Southeast Asia

    Take them for who they are—warts and all. ”To make one’s love last is, from the onset, to accept the other person is a gift from God together with that person’s strengths and frailties, seeing that these are complimentary to one’s own strengths and frailties. Then, from day to day, consciously make the effort to affirm each other in that love. As the old adage goes: ‘take me for better or for worst, but don’t take me for granted.’”—John and Peggy, married 44 years

    Know your partner’s language of love. “We all love the idea of a fairy tale ending, but life’s not like that—at least not all the time. When we put our partner in a box and expect them to do things because you do them that way or your best friend’s husband or wife does it that way, we’ll be disappointed when they don’t live up to it. Understand how your partner expresses their love, and appreciate that.”—Deena and David, married 21 years

    Don’t sweep issues under the rug. ”There are times when we forgo confrontation to keep the peace. That’s good sometimes, but if either of you suddenly becomes irritable, then it’s time to talk.”—Suzi and Paolo, married 11 years

    Go long distance. “Being apart has its benefits. The distance is a good thing in a way because you don’t ever get ‘tired’ of the relationship. It also helps ensure that we have a life outside the relationship, which is a healthy thing, long distance or not. It’s easier these days of course. When he took his masters some years back, we connected via fax, ICQ, and email only (those were the days when the tech world was transitioning from Wordstar to Word, from DOS to Windows).”—Rowena and Jonathan, together 16 years

    Take chances. “Be excited to live life every day and experience new things. This type of attitude will definitely show in your actions and show your partner that there is always something great for you two to experience together or even apart. Who wants to be with a boring person? Even if you don’t expect your partner to do a new activity with you, just having him (or her) see and feel your zest for life will show him (or her) that being with you is fun and exciting.”—Lauren and Ian, married 12 years

  14. 8 Positive Benefits of Smiling

    onlinecounsellingcollege:

    1.    It makes us seem trustworthy: We generally interpret a genuine smile to mean that this is someone who is honest and trustworthy. Those who smile are rated higher in generosity, in extraversion and in friendliness

    2.    If you smile when you get caught you’re more likely to get off: Somehow we think that those who smile are really nicer people so we tend to be willing to treat them leniently.

    3.    It eases embarrassment: If you do something stupid like slip on a banana, or trip and fall in the middle of a mall, people laugh with (not at) you if you laugh or smile. That is, it changes their reaction so they’re less likely to mock. 

    4.    If you smile with others when they share good news, you’re less likely to feel jealous or annoyed at them: Interestingly, even if we smile politely but we feel slightly annoyed, our emotion quickly changes and we feel happy ourselves. Somehow we feel much better for having chosen to be “nice”.

    5.    It can ease any feelings of distress or pain: Smiling stops us spiralling into negativity and eases our feelings of shock and distress - if we force ourselves to smile when something bad happens to us.

    6.    It can help with problem-solving: When we’re stressed or nervous our focus seems to narrow and it makes it harder to find answers or solutions. But when we smile, the tension eases and we think of more ideas.

    7.    It can increase your ability to make money: Those who smile at their colleagues and their customers are usually more successful and are frequently promoted.

    8.    Smile and the world smiles with you: If you smile at other people, they will often smile at you, and they’ll tend to see you in a positive way!

  15. Synchronized Brains: Feeling Strong Emotions Makes People’s Brains ‘Tick Together’

    ScienceDaily (May 24, 2012) — Experiencing strong emotions synchronizes brain activity across individuals, a research team at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre in Finland has revealed.

    Human emotions are highly contagious. Seeing others’ emotional expressions such as smiles triggers often the corresponding emotional response in the observer. Such synchronization of emotional states across individuals may support social interaction: When all group members share a common emotional state, their brains and bodies process the environment in a similar fashion.

    Researchers at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre have now found that feeling strong emotions makes different individuals’ brain activity literally synchronous.

    The results revealed that especially feeling strong unpleasant emotions synchronized brain’s emotion processing networks in the frontal and midline regions. On the contrary, experiencing highly arousing events synchronized activity in the networks supporting vision, attention and sense of touch.

    “Sharing others’ emotional states provides the observers a somatosensory and neural framework that facilitates understanding others’ intentions and actions and allows to ‘tune in’ or ‘sync’ with them. Such automatic tuning facilitates social interaction and group processes,” says Adjunct Professor Lauri Nummenmaa from the Aalto University, Finland.

    “The results have major implications for current neural models of human emotions and group behavior. It also deepens our understanding of mental disorders involving abnormal socioemotional processing,” Nummenmaa says.

    Participants’ brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging while they were viewing short pleasant, neutral and unpleasant movies.
