2009-02-13T19:37:00.000-05:00

I think I will end up moving to LJ now. XD Because I kinda want to. D: (Wow, what an awful reason, yes?) As well, somebody now has my blogspot address so I am going to just not use it (and also remove all links to my LJ from this blog so that unsavoury people may not find my LJ~.)

So please, people who read my blog (if there are any), direct your attention over to LJ to see further entries?~

(rage-chan, don't look xD)
Quoted word for word from MSNBC:

"According to Stephen [King], “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

Even though I don't particularly enjoy Stephen King's novels, this made me grin like crazy~.

Find out what your blogging style is like!

So it seems that I am overly verbose. XD (And possibly egocentric, from how much I talk about myself =P)

I'm going to try snowboarding hopefully next next week! Or rather, not hopefully. XD But my brother is heavily suggesting that I should since he tried and everyone else in my group of family friends is trying too, so now I feel like, might as well, right? The best time to learn to do something new is when other people are there with you anyway XD

school

2009-02-03T18:29:00.006-05:00

Hm, I don't have much to say about school, actually, but I'm not good with titling things properly. XD But anyway, my anthropology went up! But it's still a measly awful mark - I'm just hoping that my Create-a-Culture project will bring it up next time. The teach said she liked it, but then she also literally failed more than seventy-five percent of the class the last project we did with a poster board (I got a seventy percent on that, oh Hermes) so I really don't know what she means by 'like'.

That said, I've been feeling very paranoid lately.

(cut because awin sounds like a whiny little brat)I keep on thinking that I'm going to do something wrong; that people are constantly judging me. It's not people that I don't know, but rather close friends - I keep on thinking that they're thinking bad thoughts about me, wondering why they even put up with me. It's 'cause recently everyone's been doing these memes on facebook about friends and such and people are all like saying that they think I'm cute or weird in a good way and such, but I always get paranoid when people compliment me - I always think they're trying to say I'm some awful person deep down inside and saying it in a way that I won't understand but everyone else will and then everyone else will be thinking, 'Oh this girl is such a freak, poor these people for being friends with her.' XD I do this a lot.

And my ex-best friend's birthday is coming up too and I'm still friends with her, so I'm getting her a present but I'm worried that I'll just seem too obsessed with the past and that she doesn't actually want to be friends with me, and only got me that present and wrote me that wonderful card last year for my birthday because she felt obligated and I don't want to make her feel obligated to give me another present this year for my birthday. D: I've known her for more than ten years yet I've still all this paranoia about it, which makes me feel awful because I'm doubting her friendship with me and thus doubting her and thinking that she's some two-faced person when I know she isn't. Hermes, what's wrong with me?

I wish I had more self-confidence. XD I just can't deal with school friends, really, since I haven't known them as long as my other friends, but I still really value their companionship. It's just that those ties don't seem as tight as those with people that I know from before school, so I always think that our friendships are less solid, more easily broken, and possibly even fake. I feel like some horrid person (but I suppose I am XD) for even thinking such about my friends (who are better than I deserve anyway, really n_n") but I can't help it. And since the schism with my old friends (not the family friends) in grade seven, I've realised that even those ties can be broken so I'm desperately trying to keep what school friends I have and my family friends as well because I couldn't bear to lose them like I did my other friends.

I really am rather pathetic, aren't I? XD

I have to write a three paragraph personal response about my family life with an extended metaphor of some kind. XD I haven't yet started, but it's due tomorrow so I'm trying to think of something to write - I was going to do a theme park but then BW said that she was doing that, so I was all like, 'Darn,' and can't do it now. XD I might just go and write about my grandparents' house being my castle though, with the rest of Tai Po as my kingdom - I think that'd be fun. XD

I've been drawing a lot lately, and inking too, now that I have nice Staedtler pens. xD It's a bit too fun, really, but now I have people all over my notes. XD I've gotten better at inking now though - a few days back, it was completely awful (I missed an eye by like, two milimetres, it was hilarious), but now the lines are cleaner. I'm hoping that it gets better with practice. XD

woot

2009-02-01T12:38:00.003-05:00

Chocolate has been gained after a gruelling quest, with horrendously horrifying perils and the like. Ferrero Rocher, the dark, milk, and white ambrosia and nectar of lowly mortals, has returned to my household and joined my collection of Lindor~.

But of course this relationship is only fleeting. I expect the box to be finished by tomorrow XD

amicable

2009-02-01T00:34:00.005-05:00

I've been feeling very cheery as of late, and haven't been as scathing to some people either - I think I've fallen into a very cool sort of mellow XD Things just don't bug me as much, at least, I convince myself that they shouldn't. Father is thirty minutes late for picking me up? Not a problem. A group member did no work whatsoever on the project? That's okay too. It's not that I'm apathetic - it's just that I don't think it's a big deal anymore n__n" Probably because I have other things that are more worrisome so I've finally decided to just live and let live.

I'm not sure I like my blasé outlook though XD I guess I'll just have to see what happens.

(awin had friends over again)There were the family friends over again, for both Lunar New Year celebrations and my mother's surprise birthday party. Sadly 'nough, KC (not KC from school friends nor KC the brother of this KC XD) couldn't come, but we had a fine enough time without her anyway - I hope she'll be at our ski trip next next week when we're all going to try snowboarding for the first time with the exception of my brother, who's snowboarded before XD

They came over when I was still at Japanese class, which was, as usual, a complete and utter waste of time, almost - it would have been if not for the highly entertaining planning of the cafe cast XD CL and I (and the rest of the Geek Con, but mainly us two) have been planning it for a while - the character designs were from a while back, with VC, BW, CL, and myself creating characters for it - JT made one rather recently though it was more CL and myself making a character for her XD We haven't done much with it except plan out the basic basic plot, the characters, and the first chapter and possible future chapters. The plot isn't even complete yet, but I do hope we start - I'm going to be doing typesetting and scripting if we ever do start, and I think that'd be fun. (We're of course pushing the panelling and the backgrounds on JT, because, well, that's plain boring XD And BW is hopefully hopefully going to help with line-art, though somehow I don't think she would.) The cast is such fun - it's so easy to imagine scenarios with them. But we just chatted about it lots, with CL doing the sketches 'cause she's artistic like that and me adding random comments and doodles and suggestions~. It makes Japanese class bearable.

But when I got back, all the family friends were already there (sans KC the elder). It's always such fun when they come over, because lately, we haven't been splitting up into our two factions - before, CW (my sister, not me XD) would go off and game by herself, JS (the younger brother), LS, and KC the younger would run off, and me, CW (the elder, my older brother - all our names start with C), KC, and JS the elder would just talk 'mongst ourselves and watch films and such. But as of late, we've all been together and just generally talking, 'cause JS, LS, and KC aren't as young as they had been and sometimes we can even entice CW away from the game console she's using.

Today we just played a few video games, and gave running commentary about my younger sis's gaming skills (which are a bit under par XD). Then we had a very lovely chat about my 2D boyfriend (long story xD) and then started talking about the spawn of people from different dimensions and such. Apparently, I have super powers too XD And then we had a very epic ninja fight, we being me, JS (brother), LS, and KC xD KC rather failed in his attempt, but it was a very good one, even though he couldn't catch anything with his chopsticks.

I realise now that this blather is really a bit pointless and not very fun for you people to read XD I'm sorry. I just like to waffle on about such because I really think that these people are friends that I, well, that I know well - we don't talk much, but meeting up is never awkward and is just very nice, I think.

I sound like such a useless sap XD

I've been working on Shishido's bit again for the boyband AU, because Atobe refuses still to work with me. I've written Atobe's section once, but then it ended in Solitaire, so I just redid it. And then it ended up as Solitaire again. The first time, Atobe completely freaked and Niou and Shishido ditched the band, making their own duo. But then the second time, Atobe was all sad but accepting of Niou and Shishido's relationship and gave up on both of them, though Yagyuu was far less relenting.

But both times, it was still Solitaire. This NiouAtoShishi is totally not working.

awin's day thus far...

2009-01-30T15:42:00.003-05:00

...has been extremely lovely and will only get better, she thinks XD (It's unusual for me to be in such an optimistic mood about my life, I think, but I will take it as it comes.) I went out with friends for lunch which was very fun - went out with some people I haven't talked to in a while, well, at least two XD

(oh look click me to see more?)I went to Market Village for lunch, eating in the food court. I only ate 雞蛋子 (I think that's the right spelling D: - my Chinese is awful) and some green apple bubble tea, then I went to One's and got myself my first caterpillar plushie! It was on sale so it was only ten dollars 8D And my friend bought a relax-kuma also for ten dollars - she was like, 'I'll buy it if you buy it,' so I bought my caterpillar and she bought her bear XD Then I got to eat a bit of everyone else's lunches, because that's what I do - there was curry beef, curry potatoes, and curry onions from WC (I'll stick to initials just in case XD - also, WC just makes me laugh xD), spicy broccoli from FC, and nothing from KC or VC because well, I didn't want part of a sandwich or noodles. ...Funny enough, the only people that bought meals all had surnames that ended with C. >_> But anyway. XD

Then we walked over to PMall and KC and VC bought their JE junk - VC getting some Arashi single and KC buying KAT-TUN Queen of Pirates or something like that XD And we just walked 'round - I looked at some anime soundtracks but decided against buying the Ghibli Howl or Mononoke and contemplated buying the Fate soundtrack for my brother, but decided against it. XD (I'm a little miser, short and stout~.) And we walked around some more, pointing out all the gay scarves that we wanted to buy for FC - the pointing out was done mostly by myself, BW and CL, but FC was rather adamant in ignoring us when we did such. And then he threatened to kick us. XD But he didn't, 'cause he's totally nice like that.

Most of the stores were closed though, since it's an Asian mall and we were there before twelve. XDDD There were a few - mostly the clothes ones - but the gacha machine stores were closed, as were the photo sticker ones, which was a bit sad~. Nevertheless, we finished our trekking 'cross PMall and then headed to Curry's! My favourite favourite art supply store.

Curry's has everything imaginable that I would want (except, apparently, for 0.03 Copic outlining pens because those are always out of stock when I want them or not on sale and only in sale in packs that are missing them) like lovely pen, markers, craft knives, brushes, drafting tables, metal rulers, and et cetera. There are of course the Staedtler - Lumocolor and such - so I bought myself a Staedtler kneadable eraser and a set of four Staedtler outlining pens, since my Lumocolor black pen, which I usually use for outlining, is almost out of ink and the black by itself was out of stock, as always XDD FC bought the cutest lime green ruler for a dollar - it was flexible with a really nice backing - as well as a healing cutting board since he didn't have one before. CL was contemplating a board as well, but she decided not to splurge too much money and just got a craft knife and a kneadable eraser. XDD WC ended up buying the coolest eraser blocker (I forget what they're called XD) for like, a dollar too - it was so lovely~. BW, VC, and KC were rather bored, of course, not as driven by art supplies as the rest of us, but then WC, KC, and VC had to leave. XD So we bought our junk, waved goodbye, and headed back for Market Village where we sat 'til our parents picked us up. XD (And we played Ghost whilst waiting! And CL lost. All the time. XD)

So BW and CL left together, leaving me with FC and him adamantly refusing to accept either a bracelet that said 'guy magnet' on it or a scarf for his birthday, though he said he'd prefer a scarf. (I'm going to hold him to that when I buy him a scarf in September.) And then we found out that the public phones there had text messaging capabilities which I thought was so amazingly cool XD I really wanted to try but then there wasn't any point. XD And then he left and my dad was like, forty-five minutes late, but that's okay, because he offered to pay for my art supplies if I didn't complain to my mother XD So I'm pretty pretty cheery right now - waiting forty-five minutes is nothing if I don't have to pay for my fifteen dollars worth of pens and eraser. Especially when there are only four pens - but really, that's to be expected. At least I didn't buy those Copic pens (though I would have if the 0.03 wasn't missing) for like, thirty dollars XDD.

And when I got back, my dad made me 鐵觀音, which is my favourite type of 烏龍茶 so I'm pretty pretty happy - 鐵觀音 always tastes better when we make it at home 'cause at 茶樓 (darn it there's so much Chinese in this paragraph but I don't know how else to put it XD) it's always watered-down and not nearly as yummy - I just love the smell and the taste and the everything about 鐵觀音 XD

So that was my day =D And it can only get better because my brother is coming back this weekend again! XD I always look forward to him coming back even though I would be damned before I would tell him this myself.

more meme

2009-01-28T16:17:00.005-05:00

I got some more memes from Angieko. Again. XD Facebook is proving to be good for something after all.

(fanfiction meme)Do you read or write fanfiction?

Yes, but I am not as prolific writing-wise as I used to be XD But I still read lots.

When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?

Um, I forget. I think it was fall 2006 though.

What was your first fandom?

The first one I wrote for was Ouran, but the first one I read (and the one I still adore most fandom-wise) is HP XD

First ship?

KyouHaru, definitely~. Just love. XD

What website do you use most?

...Google? Wikipedia? XD What do you mean? I have taken to frequenting blogspot recently though.

What do you think of Fanfiction.net?

Trying way too hard to make itself better with very few jewels amongst the piles of garbage~.

What fandoms have you written in?

...Quite a few. XD

Pairings?

See answer above - I'm not going to list them all. XD

Any fandoms you would like to write in?

I want to try writing a chapter fic for HP. XD I've always wanted to.

Do reviews affect how you write in any way?

Definitely - if somebody tells me that the chapter was lacklustre, then I think it over, revise, and repost. xD

Do you use a beta?

Definitely - who else would catch all my horrendous errors? (Love to Rain-chan here~)

What ratings do you read/write?

All ratings, though I never post up stuff that is M on FFnet.

What warnings have you used on your fiction/read?

Um, I really can't recall. XD

Do you have any squicks?

Squicks? Well, I really don't like to read things with horrendous OoC-ness. XD Nor can I write things where people undergo TREMENDOUS TRANSFORMATIONS. I really hate that.

Do you Role-play online? If so, what?

I think I might be. Not sure any more because the RP is not doing much, but I'm Nekozawa Umehito on SHINE.

Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?

No XD I'd feel rather awful if somebody did that to me, so I give others the same courtesy.

Favorite fandom to write/read?

Writing-wise, tenipuri, because I don't care too much if I ruin it. XD But reading-wise, it has to be HP with its countless amount of well-written novel-length fics that are ready for perusal~.

Favorite writer/writers?

Hm. I'd have to say... No, I really don't know. I like empathic siren's style - there's one. But I can't list them all out XD

How long should a chapter be?

Relative.

Do you write/read drabbles?

I write drabbles (the hundred-words-per-drabble ones) and read the ones that are 'drabbles' but over a thousand words long. XD Drabbles that are one hundred words long have to be above par for me to like them.

Any fandoms you avoid?

Fandoms I don't like? XD

Pairings you avoid?

None, really.~

Warnings you avoid?

Warnings that speak of things like spanking. Because that is just ick for me XD

Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?

Of course not. XD I mean, for an example - guess how many Twilight reviews there are on ... well, everywhere.

What do you think of Mary Sues?

Definitely not my thing~.

Have you ever flamed someone?

Yes. xD But I've been leaning more towards harsh harsh concrit now.

Have you ever been flamed?

Yup XD Once for a KyouHaru fic. And I messaged the person nicely and asked why they didn't like it because I had thought my portrayal of the characters had been fine, and then they replied equally as civilly and gave me concrit and said that they were being too harsh XD

failure...

2009-01-26T19:26:00.008-05:00

...in very very many things today - though really, many many things just adds up to one thing. Which is a bit sad. Definitely not a good way to be starting my lunar new year, nope XD Just don't click the link below if you don't want to hear my griping~.

(...in school)

My English exam mark was eighty-two percent - I completely over-analysed the poem when the teacher was not looking for that (darn you responses which I can't do properly) and did the other half of the exam perfect (Othello, thank Hermes for Shakespeare) but the poetry was bad enough that I completely flunked. So my English mark is astronomically low and I don't know if I'll be able to pull it back up.

Then I go into Graphic Design after English, which isn't awful. I get my summative back, and it's better than I thought it'd be - ninety-two, when I'd been expecting something in the seventies - but still not as good as it could be. The final was completely rushed and you can still see the pencil on it, but I suppose it could have been worse - at least I finished the inking. But really. D: I was so disappointed in myself when that mark dropped too.

And then there was Media Studies, which was ... rather aggravating. The exam had had all these true or false (or as the exam said, true and false) questions that were opinionated. Like, 'celebrity endorsements help get people to go to events', which can be replied to with either. And the teacher acknowledged this. And then he was like, but 'true' is my opinion so you know what, 'true' is the answer. And then he's all like 'I'm the teacher'. Honestly. He hates our class. >_> But that exam, I did okay on. Not awful. I'm really just complaining XD

But then there was French, which was completely pathetic I lost seven marks because I wrote something in the wrong tense. So I got three out of ten on one section. And the sad thing is, I got it right for the first three questions, so it's not that I don't know how to do it, but changed it halfway through because at that point, the teacher had come in and said 'Make sure your long response is at least half a page long, okay?' and my long response was what, exactly half a page? So I freaked out completely - you should never do just the minimum on anything, so I whizzed through the rest of the short questions (and lost seven marks as a result) and went back to the long response, painstakingly stretching out my response so it filled three quarters of the page.

And then she comes back in and tells the class that she meant half a page double spaced. And I just freaked.

And then I got perfect on the exam except for those seven marks. So I am rather angry at myself. I think I couldn't be more stupid XD

The only thing that cheers me up is that I know my courses tomorrow had good exams - my Latin mark is good because the teacher told us (Geek Con) the marks when we asked him at lunch 'cause he's cool like that, and I was confident on my Comp Sci, Math, and Anthropology exam because Math and Comp Sci are simple and Anthro was just plain stupid.

I feel like some wind-up doll, going on and on about my studies and junk. I'm sorry I'm such a bore XD

And now that I'm done with my griping... I really should start on finishing up that boyband AU. I've been completely stuck with Atobe, really, and I don't want to post it up unless I have all three oneshots finished n____n" So I'm totally sorry if I don't have that done by your birthday, Rain-chan, but I'll totally try to finish something, really, or I'll feel awful.

(but here is a cheerful meme!)How about a brief introduction for yourself?

Brief, huh? D: Well my name is awin and I suck? XD

Fabulous! And what got you into fanfiction to begin with?

Um, I totally forget. XD Wow, this is kinda pathetic.

I see, so what kind of fanfiction do you like to write?

Oneshots. And I think I've been leaning towards drama recently. xD Because it's such fun.

Do you find writing easy? Hard? What are the most difficult aspects of writing you struggle with?

I think the most difficult bit is trying to write and not being able to. XD Like when I want to write something out but the words refuse to budge~. But generally, when I can write, writing seems easy. (It's the revision that's drab~. XD)

Write a few sentences or so of your favorite pairing or character.

Shishido let out a low moan, the pain getting to him, just a bit. It wasn't that he couldn't stand it (god Niou would think he was such a girl if he told him it hurt, really, and then he'd have no pride left) but it was just - it was -

- yeah, it hurt. But Shishido sure as hell wasn't getting to let Niou know that.

'Hmmm?' A low, tantalising voice whispered into his ear, soft and teasing and everything that Shishido hated and loved all at once. 'Too much for you, is it?'

'Shut the fuck up,' Shishido replied through gritted teeth. 'Just get on with it.'

'I'm sorry,' said another voice, disapproving yet professional, 'but I can't "get on with it", as you say - let me administer this shot in peace, would you?'

Niou let out a chuckle as Shishido opened his mouth to retort but shut it again, when his skin turned pale.

Dammit. Shishido would totally find out what Niou was afraid of and then he wouldn't be so fucking amused when Shishido winced at the sight of a needle.

(I'm sorry. Really. XD)

Are there any fanfiction clichés or trends you’re sick of or just can’t stand?

Ones where the main character is abused. I've gotten really bored. I've read so much Harry Potter and his Abusive Childhood and Pretty Bishounen and his being Sexually Assaulted that it's really getting boring. Seriously. Think of a better plot, could you?

Are you guilty of any fanfiction clichés you hate? Or any other ones?

Bad writing? XD Definitely a stereotype that I fall underneath.

What was the first fandom you wrote for, and do you still like/participate in it?

Ouran. XD And still love it, still participate, though not as often.

Name your OTPs or most frequently written pairings/characters and explain what it is about them that you love to write.

It's got to be one of my crossover pairings, AtoRyo, or Solitaire. XD And it's 'cause there is snark in most of them, and snark is the best.

What would you call your writing “style”?
Lacklustre.

Do you read other people’s fanfic? If so, what do you find yourself reading the most?

Yes, yes I do. And I find myself reading epically long ficcies most~ XD Usually all at one go. XD

Name one thing you’d LOVE to write, but have been too afraid or shy to do.

A novel with the characters I've developed. But I can never bring myself to massacre them which I would indeed do if I ever attempted to do the butchering that is my writing. XD

Do you have trouble taking criticism? Or worse yet, do you have the dreaded bloated ego?

No. XD I know I have faults so I love it when people point this out to me and show me where I can do better.

When you write, is there anything that helps? Music? Quiet room?

...Being by myself. XD Letting my mind wander.

What inspires you?

My thoughts. XD They connect the weirdest things - perhaps my agenda to writing about the loss of time in a relationship, or an elastic band to an amusing situation at an editor's office. These thoughts give me the fuel with which I write.

Lastly, how would you sum up your fanfiction experiences and yourself as a writer?

Fun. I've laughed, I've cried, I've smiled, and I've lived through my writing so I'm glad that I've had the chance. XD

I'm going to go drink a bottle of sparkling peach juice. Maybe that'll bring up my spirits. XD

new year?

2009-01-25T21:38:00.004-05:00

It's another year - or it will be soon where I live and already is elsewhere, so happy new year and such! I'm too lazy to retype my Chinese phrases of goodwill because really, it's a big pain to try nor do I want to look them up online.

(some rambling about that)

I had my festivities twelve hours early, because my brother won't be home for new year's so we as a family just decided to go by HK time and have an early new year XD There was the usual food on Saturday, our 'new year's eve', with a big dinner with eight dishes, since seven's unlucky and all. And we had lots left over, in accordance with that Chinese saying that I'm too lazy to type out, and had all the traditionally lucky foods. And today we had vegetarian meals, 'cause it's only fair that after a year of slaughtering animals for meat that we give them this day (technically should be longer, but we don't adhere to traditions that strictly xD) where we let them be. And I got money from red pockets, which is good, and I called all the relatives to greet them happy new year and such - convenient that all my relatives live in Hong Kong or it'd be weird telling them such a day in advance.

I'm going to have more new year's celebrations tomorrow and over the weekend, when I'll visit the family friends and get more money. And getting money obviously isn't the point of new year. I know. >___> Money is just a nice bonus~. XD

I didn't go to the new year countdown at the mall this year, because well, there are always too many people and it's a pain. XD And staying at home with family is nice enough anyway.

I have school tomorrow, but I really don't want to go. XD Since now I have to go leave to visit other friends - new year's eve partying and such - and I know I'll probably have a huge headache tomorrow morning from a) not sleeping, b) being around loud people for too long, c) drinking which is totally legal, yups, or d) all of the above. xD

School always ruins my plans.

for ezyl?

2009-01-24T01:49:00.003-05:00

(because I was very bored)
I wasn't sure what you wanted so just took the first picture of Ueda I found and made him look weird =D I'm sorry. Please give me something to make an avatar out of so I don't do weird things like this in ten minutes at two in the morning XD. I just remember Rain-chan's talking 'bout how Ueda sees fairies and such and then this happened XD

thank hermes...

2009-01-23T16:58:00.000-05:00

... that all my exams are over. Freedom is mine!

For at least, you know, an hour after the exam. Then I had to go do a project at somebody else's house then came home to work on another project.

Why does education mock me so?

hm?

2009-01-21T09:45:00.004-05:00

Math exam in three hours~. I'm rather dreading it because I always make stupid mistakes on math evaluations. But then I'm not really worried, because math is the only class where I can pay no attention whatsoever and do no homework and generally slack off and still get above ninety-five. XD I like math class.

But then after math exam there is lots of homework. Because teachers at my school actually give projects for people to do over exam week. Yeah, let's make a culture for anthro and do some stupid ad project for media and have them both due right after exams, yeah, that's great. Really.

(On a happier note, I got rage-chan's letter today!)I just got back from the exam (and am editing this post so that I don't spam on my own blog *dies*) and found the letter in my mailbox. Unfortunately, it was bent, despite the letter's envelope stating that it was not to be bent, but luckily enough, the letter was not damaged =D It's very very cute - I would post pictures 'cept I'm not sure where the camera is. XD

I'll write back soon, and will post the letter (along with the one from last year spring and the one for New Year's) with Vio-chan's letter as soon as possible. I want to get some new stationary~.

Would anybody want me to make (badly-done) icons for them? D: *wants to distract self from school further*

I seem to be lacking coherency, and since I'm hiding in my friend's closet with his laptop and probably won't be out of the closet for a while, I figured I might as well blog because I am so bored and also not very amused by my situation.

I hate people who make bets for me.

But here is an anime meme, because, well, why not? It'll take time and I have a lot of that at the moment.

(memememememe)
Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!

An Editor's Note: not all the titles listed here are great, and some are even steaming piles of crap. Titles on the list are here because they are either 1) genuinely good, 2) insanely popular, 3) good examples of the genre, or 4) just plain notorious. Good anime obsessives should be able to watch series with any of those qualities.

(And YES, even if you accidentially/forced to watch it, it counts...)

1 confession:

Sometimes I think that it would have been better if I had never been born, so I wouldn't have to live in fear of dying, but then I realise I'm not making much out of what I've been given - I mean, I live in a relatively well-off neighbourhood and have a nice family and have caring friends and I'm still moping? So usually right after I think this, I cheer myself up because if I don't act cheerful then I wouldn't be making the most out of my life, I think. n_n

icons?

2009-01-20T14:13:00.004-05:00

Dudly totally got me making icons again since she mentioned she was making her lovely Angel (I forget the acronym - AtS? AtV? I don't even know the show's name xD) icons with Cordy and Doyle, the what's-his-face. But now I can't stop and Photoshop is just making my computer act like it just got off a drug high and then was dumped into the ocean with weights attached to it, though the weights are actually heavy computer-eating piranhas.

Stupid laptop.

But now I've made myself an assortment of gyakusai icons! And now I am impossibly amused. I even made one that seems vaguely Klavier/Ema, even though I really really don't like that pairing.

Had my computer science exam today too. Breezy fun~.

maku puppet

2009-01-19T17:07:00.002-05:00

So I made myself one, one being the title up there, see? Click 'da capo' off to the side to look at it? I think that is what my muse looks like, at least in my mind XD Only more eccentric and not faceless - I couldn't find a face I liked so I just didn't use one. I'm going to download the makupuppet components after this for flash to mess about XD I think I'd like to make myself a puppet army.

Wouldn't it be fun if we had a forumer puppet army? XD

linky

2009-01-17T23:03:00.003-05:00

(only for the purpose of linking to eros!sanada)Sanada really wanted to be at home where it was calm and peaceful and quiet, instead of at loud and boisterous and disorganised Seigaku. He really did. He also wished that he wasn't wearing a white toga with fluffy feathered wings attached to it, with his bare feet bracing the torridity of the pavement. He hated having to hold a bow and five arrows with sharp pink hearts instead of arrowheads on them.

But when Yukimura requested something, it was best not to argue. At all. For fear of horrible consequences.

Clutching the arrows that Yukimura had bestowed upon him tightly, he sighed, readying himself for mortal (or rather, if he were to really get into his role, immortal) embarrassment. He looked around for a victim of sorts. All Yukimura had asked was for him to shoot five arrows at five people. That was it. It wasn't a hard task, really. The only problem was being seen in such an outfit, even if it was given Yukimura's blessing.

He spotted a girl in a Seigaku uniform standing next to the school, and decided that she would be as good a target as any. Eros!Sanada took his arrow and bow, aimed, and fired. And missed, hitting the wall directly beside the girl, who then stared straight at Sanada. Who promptly ran away in a very cowardly fashion (that was definitely unfit for anybody from Rikkai; Sanada would never mention this lily-livered act to anyone), hoping he hadn't been seen.

Time to look for another person. Sanada heard some rustling in the bushes behind him. Rustling. That was never good. Having been around Niou too often ensured that Sanada was paranoid to an extent not heard of by most, and he immediately turned around, slinging three shots into the dratted bush. The rustling stopped, and Sanada was glad to know that he had hit something. Until a chubby cat crawled out of the bush, looking quite irritated. Sanada fled yet again.

Sanada then spied the tennis courts, and felt inwardly glad. Tennis always induced a happy, carefree feeling in him. Sanada only had one arrow left, and if he just shot one of the people on the courts, he could run back to Yukimura and profess that he had done his job exceptionally.

Eros!Sanada prepared himself for the strange looks he would get, and strode with sweeping steps into the Seigaku tennis courts in his usual imposing manner. Of course, it was less impressive since he was wearing fluffy wings on his back. All the tennis players stopped what they were doing to stare with round, slightly frightened eyes at the toga-wearing spectacle.

Before anybody could question his presence, Sanada locked his eyes on a target - an egg-headed young man. He put up his bare arms, and aimed straight and true, determined to at least hit one person for Yukimura. He couldn't very well go back without doing so; the punishment would be worse than the embarrassment he was feeling. He let the arrow fly, and watched intently as the arrow hit Oishi Shuichirou straight on.

However, the effects were not ones that Sanada had expected.

-

Oishi blinked. He had felt a rather acute pain in his right shoulder just a moment ago, but suddenly, he wasn't in pain any more. It was rather strange; he was feeling rather light and dizzy, as if he had hit his head too hard on something.

'Oishi, you okay?' somebody immediately asked, running over. Oishi couldn't make out whose voice it was; the voice was kind of distorted and fuzzy and made Oishi wonder what the heck was wrong with him, since he couldn't hear things properly and perhaps he should go see the nurse, since he was feeling a bit loopy now and that couldn't be good.

'What's that on the ground?' another person asked. Oishi shook his head, trying to clear his mind, and realised that the person speaking was Fuji. The short brunet bent over, picking up an arrow that had a rather strange arrowhead.

'Hmm,' Fuji chuckled, twirling the arrow between his fingers as if it were a baton, 'seems like Oishi's been struck by Cupid.'

'What are you talking about, Fuji?' Oishi said, tilting his head to the left side and then the right, seeing if things would be clearer if he looked at them with a different perspective.

Things weren't any clearer.

Oishi glanced at his right shoulder, and saw a rather large pink mark on it, as if he had been hit by something. It certainly hadn't been there before. 'What's this?' he thought.

'I think that's where the arrow struck you,' Fuji informed Oishi. Oishi hadn't been aware that he had just thought aloud; he really was a bit loopy.

'You okay though, Oishi?' the first person - Oishi recognised him as Eiji this time - asked worriedly.

Oishi nodded to his doubles partner. 'I'm just feeling a bit out of sorts, Eiji,' Oishi replied, smiling. 'I'm feeling better already. I'll drop by the nurse's office just in...'

The third year's voice trailed off as he caught site of the most beautiful person he had ever seen standing right in the middle of the tennis courts. He had raven-black hair that shimmered in the afternoon sun, and seemed like an angel, dressed in the purest white with actual wings.

This, Oishi decided immediately, feeling dizzy all over again, had to be love at first sight.

He knew the boy, Oishi realised, after a longer inspection. He was Sanada Genichirou, from Rikkai. Oishi didn't think to wonder about why this stunning specimen of a tennis player was standing on Seigaku courts, and instead made his way slowly to his fellow vice-captain.

Sanada looked a bit surprised. Oishi decided that it was probably because he wasn't used to being approached by people as normal as Oishi was; this Sanada, godlike in his magnificence, probably dined with Greek gods, drinking ambrosia and nectar as he laughed with them about the mundane happenings in the lives of mortals.

'Oishi-san, was it?' Sanada asked in a deep, sultry voice. Oishi felt faint. He knew his name.

'I apologise about the arrow,' Sanada continued, his back as straight as it could be and his head tilted down just slightly.

'I think I love you' was the only thing Oishi was able to say before he slumped to the floor, unconscious.

-

Sanada looked in horror at the crumpled body in front of him, not sure what he was supposed to do in such a situation.

He couldn't very well just run away - the people here knew who he was, and he'd never be able to show his face again in the tennis circles, which, really, were the only circles that mattered.

'Sanada-san?'

Sanada almost jumped when a petite hand was placed on his shoulder.

The boy chuckled - it was Fuji Syusuke. 'No need to be so startled.'

Sanada frowned at this smiling boy who seemed far too amused by Sanada's predicament.

On the contrary, one redhead was not smiling. He was tending more towards to an 'Omigod Oishi just confessed to this guy cosplaying as an angel!' sort of mood. 'Fujiko! Who's this?' he demanded, pointing an accusing finger at Sanada, who desperately wished that he were back at Rikkai where all was safe and insanity such as this would have been dismissed as 'normal' - there was too much Kirihara and Niou and Marui at Rikkai for the students to be shocked by anything any more, really.

However, Sanada was not at Rikkai and it seemed that at Seigaku, strange costumes and bizarre events were not usually on the agenda.

'He's Sanada-san,' the short brunet informed the other one, 'from Rikkai. Don't you remember him, Eiji?'

The boy called Eiji shook his head, still frowning, though it really was more of a pout. Such pouts wouldn't work on Sanada though - he was around Kirihara far too much for that to happen.

'How do you know Oishi?' Eiji demanded immediately, glaring at Sanada with very fierce eyes, though he didn't look very intimidating.

'...I don't,' Sanada replied calmly, even though he wanted to fly away with his feathery wings.

Eiji then asked, finger still pointing at Sanada, though his arm was shaking, 'Then why did he say he loved you?'

'I don't know.' This was getting rather tiresome. Sanada had shot somebody, hurrah, so couldn't he just go back to Rikkai now?

'Why did you shoot him?!'

'Because I was ordered to.'

'Who told you to?' The redhead was now shouting, and all attention was on him and Sanada. Sanada wanted to die, but it probably wasn't possible to die from embarrassment. 'Who told you to shoot Oishi?!'

'There is a ninety-seven percent chance that his captain, Yukimura, was the one to order him to come to Seigaku,' said somebody from right behind Sanada, making Sanada almost jump up. But just almost.

Sanada turned around to see a bespectacled young man with spiky black hair - Renji's friend, Inui. Before Sanada could confirm Inui's statement, Inui continued, 'There is an eighty percent chance that Yukimura had sent Sanada here to scout out the competition.'

Inui couldn't have been more wrong - Yukimura just liked seeing Sanada suffer. Actually, Yukimura just liked seeing everybody suffer, really. Sanada tried to smile (though it was more of a grimace; his smile muscles were dreadfully out of shape) and replied stiffly, 'That is correct.' He tugged on his toga a bit; the sun was shining down and though the cloth was white, it was quite heavy and was making him sweat.

'Inuiiii,' Eiji whined, clinging onto the data player's side, 'fix Oishi!'

But before Inui could reply, Oishi woke up.

-

It was very bright.

Oishi was flat on his back, looking up at a too blue sky with no clouds to block his view. How had he gotten here? What had happened? He blinked and let out a quiet groan - there was a strange ache in his shoulder.

'Are you okay?' The voice was low, a deep velvety timbre that would have made Oishi swoon if he weren't already lying down on pavement. He felt faint just from hearing it, though that might have been the fact that he had just woken up.

Oishi then caught sight of the owner of the voice, and decided that he must have died, because the angel in front of him couldn't exist on a mortal plane.

He then decided to voice his thoughts out loud.

'How did I die?' he asked simply, sitting up and rubbing his shoulder. It still kinda hurt, but now it was a lesser pain. The angel looked at him with alarmed eyes, and spoke. Oishi didn't even hear what he said, too busy staring.

And the angel was staring right back at him, his dark eyes boring straight into Oishi's soul, making the less energetic half of the Golden Pair feel as if he were being X-rayed.

Oishi still had to stare back though; he had no choice in the matter. The angel's face was so grave, yet so beautiful, as if it had been carved out of stone by a divine creator. Oishi wondered what the angel would look like if he smiled. His lips were pressed together tightly in a small frown, and Oishi couldn't help but speculate about what it would feel like to kiss such lips.

Oishi stood up hesitantly, sure that his legs would give way if he got up too fast, and looked the angel in the eye.

-

And I'm not posting up the rest 'cause I don't like it. XD

big flabby post

2009-01-16T14:41:00.012-05:00

Now for the random ficlet attempts.

First, for ezyl - something angsty including Horio, related to sex - because you didn't mention the first one. xDDD

(want to read? =D)
Sometimes, Horio wishes that he could hate Echizen Ryoma. At first, this happens very rarely - once a month, maybe. Then every week. Then every other day. Then every single moment that he is in the short boy's presence.

It is more like 'always' than 'sometimes'.

Who wouldn't be a little bit spiteful towards Echizen Ryoma? He's respected by everyone, even the senpai and the teachers, even if some of them don't like him because he is too snarky. Horio likes that too - the fact that Ryoma doesn't care at all what other people thought of him. Horio wishes that he could be like that, so indifferent and cool and liked by most everyone.

People just think Horio's annoying.

Echizen is good at everything too - everything that matters, anyway. He's good at tennis - amazing, really, a prodigy with all his crazy moves - and at English - everyone thinks he's oh-so-cool whenever he answers perfectly - and when he doesn't do well at something people just think that it doesn't matter at all - really, who cares about marks when you're so good at tennis anyway? Not that Echizen doesn't get amazing marks anyway.

And all the girls like him too. He's got his own fanbase which is kinda ridiculous - even when Horio tells people that he has two years of tennis experience, they won't even spare a second glance at him when they see Echizen. Horio isn't bad at tennis. He's just not amazing. And 'not bad' just isn't good enough in comparison.

Horio sometimes wonders what he's even living for when there are people like Echizen Ryoma living better than him. Horio thinks he should be angry at the boy because he's better at everything, should be jealous, should be furious -

- but he isn't. He can't be. He's just like everyone else, enraptured by this boy wonder who makes people's hearts aflutter with the slightest smirk and 'Horio, mada mada da ne' and 'Hey, better luck next time, right?'

Sometimes - always - Horio likes Echizen Ryoma.

And he hates him for it.

-

Oh Hermes what the heck was that? There's not really angst or sex and just this really creepy pairing. D: I think I should shoot myself, this is what happens when I attempt to write Horio Hades argh what the heck. D<

But anyway, here is rage-chan's prompt, with the gundams and mecha challenge, because, well, femme Ouran would be too Lobelia-ish and I cannot write lemons to save my life XD

-

'Golden Pair to Thrill Pair, are you in position?'

'...'

'Thrill Pair? Fujiko, ochibi?'

'Who gave us that stupid name? And can't you see us? We're right in front of you!'

'Oh, Fujiko did! And yeah, we can see you, oops, Oishi was just being overly worried. Isn't the name cute? And me and Oishi are the Golden Pair! Don't we sound super cool?'

'What the fuck, Fuji?'

'Echizen-kun, don't swear! That's very inappropriate. Oh, shoot that Hyoutei robot down, could you?'

'On it, Oishi! Oh, look at that acrobat's mecha go dooooooown!'

'...Yeah, yeah. Fuji, what the heck is Thrill Pair?'

'Eyes on the battlefield, Ryoma-kun, now. Wouldn't want us to get hit with one of those missiles, right?'

'Oi, what the hell - '

'Echizen-kun, Fuji! Are you okay? You didn't get hit, right? Why did you stop talking? Why are you swerving? Thrill Pair, answer me please!'

'Why the hell did you just take the controls?'

'Oh, but I always like being in control, Ryoma-kun. Though if you asked -'

'Shut up.'

'Fuji, Echizen-kun is only sixteen! You shouldn't-'

'Oishi-mama, shouldn't you pay attention to your own mecha? Eijiko, distract him.'

'Roger!'

'Ah! Eiji, what are you mmph -'

'...'

'...Fuji, what was that?'

'No idea. Want to try?'

'The Golden Mecha is moving off the field.'

'Indeed it is, Ryoma-kun.'

'Hey, look, let's shoot down that one.'

'Oh, no, we have to get that one first - the one that's flamboyantly purple.'

'St Rudolph? What do you have against them?'

'...Nothing, Ryoma-chan, nothing at all. See? I'm even going to shoot something special into that mecha.'

'What was in that missile?! The mecha blew up!'

'That had nothing to do with the missile. The mecha was just so ugly that it couldn't exist.'

'...Fuji-'

'Why don't we try what Oishi and Eijiko are doing then? The battlefield's clear.'

'What, already? And no way.'

'But-'

'No. Get your hands off my joystick.'

-

Because I didn't want to actually use any description, I left it as only dialogue, I'm sorry DX But I wrote it as Thrill and Golden, even though I hate both of those pairings, so please forgive me, rage-chan?

And now for the grand finale, for Rain-chan.

I feel myself dying a little bit already.

-

'Oh no,' the regulars said all in unison (a/n; and when i say in unison i mean lyk that they all said it together, okay?), 'you are so cool! How can we all be like you?'

'Its impossible!' the glasses-wearing guy said = Inui Sadharu - staring at the cute tennis player in front of him. 'Your just too good! It's just! noooooooooo!!!!!!11' he screamed as he fell to the ground, irregardless of the fact that it did't really make sense for him to fall just cuz the tennis prodigy was oh so cool.

But to make more sense of it, it's cuz this tennis prodigy was also totally totally HAWT, and I mean hot! With two t's! Like, HOTt. Yeah. (a/n just bear with this authoress, okay? she totally thinks that this character rox so you should too!) All the regulars were staring cuz well, yeah. Super hottie, right?

'I love you!' Tezuka shouted, with big big shoujo eyes with sparkles in them. 'You arent the love of my life per say, but the sock for my HUUUUUUUUUUUGE foot, the super actress to my fangirlyness and etc! I totally less than three u!' xoxoxoxo

'No!' Fuji screamed loudly, his bright brown hair flying around him in beautiful patterns! 'That's not fair! I love you more' he shouted to the beautiful beautiful beautiful beatufil beautyful (a/n and on and on and on and on, mkayz?)

'You're perfect!' Kaidoh said in a voice that shook the heavens because of it's prettyness! and it's so pretty because the power of TRU LOVE CHANGED IT, okay! (a/n I don't care if you think that's stupid cuz well, y'know what, ur stupider!) 'What is your name o beautiful beautiful beautiful - '

And the mysterious tennis player smiled so beautifully that the sun had to look away because of the beautiness.

'My name is Echizen Ryoma. Mada mada da ne.'

All the regulars faintd because of the loveliness of his voice, and when they woke up, Echizen Ryoma had already disappeared.

And they all cried in morning.

-

Somebody, please shoot me. So there is your Mary Sue (or Gary Stu, really XD) snippet with horrendous grammar and words like (dare I say them?) irregardless and per say. I will never do it again. Agh.

...which is slightly pathetic, if I may say so myself n_n"

But anyway.

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Because well, I think it's fun =D So won't you comment? =D (I have comments again, yay! I rather like comments because they can be longer and I tend to be overly and overtly loquacious XD

So please comment? n_n

stress?

2009-01-14T16:08:00.002-05:00

Let there be stress!

And awin deemed that it would be so.

Exams are driving me a little bit loopy, as is the lack of sleep this past week, with my not being able to garner more than five hours of sleep a day being the problem. I've been sleeping on and off for this week - that is, I fall asleep at twelve, perhaps, wake up at one, and don't fall asleep 'til three and then wake up at five. I managed five hours of sleep on the weekend, from one to six. But then I woke up. The worst was yesterday when I could only get one hour of sleep. I've this little headache just rubbing itself in my face and I get rather dizzy. I think I'm just going to skip tomorrow so that I can avoid a fainting spell during my exams on Friday XD

Tomorrow is just a ten-period day, meaning that it's a debriefing from all subjects on exams or summatives and such, so I won't be missing much.

Now to play piano. Piano is good for destressing. And to drink some warm milk with honey~.

new blog name!

2009-01-13T21:24:00.001-05:00

Because, well, why not? XD So now this blog is all like, solaverba and such. n_n

facts

2009-01-13T17:02:00.004-05:00

The divorce rate for mail-by-order brides and men in America is lower than that of normal marriages - that is, marriages done on the basis of love and such. Eight out of ten mail-by-order marriages survive happily.

The town I live in has the largest Chinese shopping complex in North America.

No, they don't have any relevance, but I just thought I'd mention it. I think it's the tea - it's getting to my brain~. It's lovely lovely blackcurrant tea and smells delicious, but tastes divine~. It's not too strong - rather picture-perfect in its elegance, I think.

But before I laud this tea too much, I'll get to my point.

I'm completely stressing out because there's a Latin sight-translation competition tomorrow that my Latin teacher is having everyone partake in, and I can't do it. I'm so bad at sight-translation, especially since I don't really know my noun chart XD Like, if you asked me what the genitive plural of the third declension was, I would tell you that I have absolutely no idea - for sight translation, I usually just translate by context, and that's gotten me by fine - the worst I've gotten on an in-class sight translation is 14/15.

But this competition is completely ruthless in that it's very very very hard. I know it's supposed to be, since it's national and such, but I'd like to do well and I really don't think I can. I've been translating and translating practice passages non-stop, but the sight-translation passages from previous years have completely duped me - there are so many mistakes in my English. DX And the vocabulary is impossible - they give out a vocab list, but it has words that I learnt in level one Latin but leaves out words that, when I see them, I go 'what?' It's because it's national-level, I know - they want to make it so that the vocab is far for everybody, et cetera, et cetera, but still. DX

Argh. Time to go translate some more.

letter!

2009-01-12T16:10:00.002-05:00

I got the first letter from rage-chan today, and it was absolutely adorable XD I also really like her writing; it's so pretty!

But would you like me to send the letter I had written from waaaaay back when? XD (Last year, March? Or so?) I bet it has a whole lot of grammar mistakes in the Japanese section though. XD

As well, should I wait 'til the next letter comes to reply?

Letter writing is such fun. n___n I want to do more. I have so much weird stationary to use up.

Though I really shouldn't be thinking 'bout that since I have EXAMS coming up. And I shouldn't even be blogging 'cause I should be studying but I'm not.

Hermes, I'm so slack~. =D

new tea!

2009-01-11T09:19:00.002-05:00

I've been drinking tea near constantly now; I think I'm addicted to it, which is bad, considering it makes it harder for me to sleep after I drink the tea, and I sleep little enough as it is. But my mother keeps on buying new teas so I cannot help myself~. There are the six Twinings teas, which I haven't finished yet - I do not want to because I really like Twinings - but then also rose chamomile lavender tea (just typing it chamomile because it's that way on the packaging) and a very interesting camomile tea wherein the teabag is not really a teabag but a bag of loose tea leaves with wings on the side to attach to your cup - so you have loose tea flavour but a convenient way to brew it. I love camomile tea, so I think this is rather brilliant. XD

The kitchen cupboard is a veritable smorgasbord of tea now. n_____n And at least all-nighters shall be aided by the company of a nice cup of tea~.

Tea is good for you. I use that as my excuse for drinking so much of it. XD

spam

2009-01-10T18:08:00.002-05:00

Saying SPAM just makes me think of Monty Python now.

But anyway.

xD

I kind of want to set up a separate site so I could put fanfiction there, because well, I don't really like fanfiction.net and that way, I could have my own formatting. Of course, when I say I'd like to set up a site it means that I never actually will, because I'm incorrigibly lazy and always think up things that I'd like to do but never will.

But it would be nice. n____n" Nobody would read it any more though, since it's inconvenient and well, my fanfiction isn't good enough that people would inconvenience themselves.

I just wanted to have a site with a banner. XD Because I've been in the mood for making banners lately; it's so much fun. And I also wanted to test out Dreamweaver by making an actual site since I got it, though I really don't like it much~.

I have exams next week and the week after that. Oh, the horror cannot be expressed through normal words~. xD

I think I must be insane - surely a sane person would not have a crush, no matter how slight, on somebody she had imagined up in a dream?

(because awin's rambling is weird)

But it had been such a vivid dream too - I'm not sure if it had been in colour or black and white - these things don't stay with me - but it had been the funnest dream I've had in a while. Lately, my dreams have been leaning more towards nightmares, so this happy dream was something quite wonderful.

I had been at school and then some really nice hockey player had come along. I was with my group of friends, who, in this dream, happened to be my friend's little brother, one of my underclassmen, and two other guys that I don't recognise, though one of them might have been the actor for Sheldon in Big Bang Theory. So the Sheldon-actor really liked the hockey player, and we had devised a plan to sneak into the ice stadium (which is for some reason huge and has many hallways and atria and such) and we did. And we got to meet the hockey player and he was so nice to me. XD Sort of like kind nice - not condescending or 'aww, look at how cute this little girl is' nice, but just plain kind to me which is something that is very unusual.

So I ended up talking to him and we were walking through the stadium - I, for some reason, was giving him a tour. And then suddenly there was some sort of commotion and then we started running through the stadium and then we flew. I'm really not sure about that part, but we flew XDDD And we ended up in the cafetorium and I sat with my friends on the floor, but not before he told me to apologise to Sheldon-actor for running off - he had to go to his game.

But then he ended up coming back while we sat on the floor and then one of my friends asked him his name and then he stared at him and laughed and then said 'jackshit'.

...No, I don't get this dream either - it makes less sense than my usual ones, but I hope I can have it again - it was so lovely. XD

And yes, I might be a liiiittle bit crazy.

impossibly cheery

2009-01-07T16:23:00.002-05:00

I got a letter from Vio and it's so cute! =D I absolutely adore it; it has a window on it that opens and it's so pretty and it came with nice-smelling things and Vio's writing is so pretty that I'm jealous - and because I come with a plethora of random knowledge, her writing means that she has good concentration, self-sufficient, attentive to detail, reserved, reliable but sometimes unpredictable. XD (I had a speech on this in grade eight. XD)

It's so pretty and uniform. XD

And the envelope was a bit soaked 'cause snow had filled up my mailbox, but it is relatively fine and the letter was unscathed!

So yes. I'm happy.

And I won't be blogging next week at all because there are EXAMS.

Singapore has pretty stamps. D:

picture?

2009-01-06T20:23:00.011-05:00

So here's a picture of what I spent my maths class doing! Don't I look productive? It was just stuff about trigonometry so I was like, Hermes, he can't seriously expect me to pay attention. So I didn't. And instead I did this!

My friend's English class had this assignment at the beginning of the year - write six letters to your friends, three positive, three negative. So I thought that'd be fun and I did it too - I made the negative ones for all my real-life school friends because it's easy to be very negative towards them, and positive ones for three of the forumers, in this case Dudly, Rain, and rage~.

And then I added some random forumer names because I like messing with writing names - I do it all the time especially with pretty names - and did a little handwriting meme to the side.

i am...

2009-01-05T21:56:00.007-05:00

...returning to my post-a-day regime, as well as partaking in my awful habit of starting a sentence in my title and continuing it in my post - I'm so unimaginative, doing the same thing so often, but I suppose it can't be helped.

Anyway, now on to other things.

(blogging and things of like?)

I went to school with nothing. That is, nothing right. My school is non-semestered and we have a 'days' system - that is, we have a day one and a day two, each with different subjects. Today was a day two, and I had shown up with all my day one stuff, which was, well, unpleasant since I had stuff due. My teachers were luckily all very forgiving, though a bit too amused at my predicament, as were most of my friends (jerks, all of them >_>) but I'm going to hand in all my stuff tomorrow.

That just shows how much of an idiot I am though, I suppose xD

I was surprised to be so comforted by the familiar school setting though - I normally despise it, see, or at least regard it with disdain, but clearly, the holidays and the turbulence and rather unhappy incidents have been getting to me so the familiarity of a schedule was something that I welcomed. Hades, I feel like some regular student now - at least, a regular nerdy student who likes school.

I hate feeling normal. XD Makes me think that I'm nobody special - I know that I'm not, but I like to delude myself into thinking that I'm not just another person in the large scheme of things.

No wonder pride is the worst of all sins.

As well, I keep on hearing weird things. Wind and creaks when they shouldn't be there. Sounds that are normal sounds but don't sound right, or normal sounds that aren't sounds I should be hearing at the time. Like my keyboard - it doesn't sound like my keyboard. I'm sure this sounds crazy but it's driving me insane.

I think I'm just a little bit too paranoid and crazy without my sleep, so I will promptly do so, after I drink a cup of camomile tea.

2009-01-04T16:25:00.002-05:00

I am thinking again about writing fiction - that is, original fiction. I don't really have a plot in mind - just a vague semblance of various events that don't link together - but I have characters that I like and I want to know what happens to them, so I think I might actually.

If only I could figure out how to start. I try to plan out the story in my head, but the words never connect. I know what I would like to happen, but it doesn't come out properly.

I have to try harder, I suppose - but I will persevere~. I've set up a site with the details so that I have an online copy of it - in case I lose the character sketches that I've written out twice~. I will be very careful because I really want this to work.

That said, I really don't think it will XD

On a happier note (but only slightly happier - on a scale of one to ten, the lack of faith I have in myself rates about two and this news rates about three), school is starting tomorrow! I have done absolutely nothing school-related this break and will start everything approximately never. XD I'm so hardworking; it surprises me too.

But I really don't want to go to school. I'm not ready to deal with the halls. D: So nasty and full of people that I don't like. XD Argh.

once more

2009-01-03T19:52:00.005-05:00

Well, I did this meme once before, with tenipuri characters only, and I feel like doing it again, so here it is with characters from many many fandoms - that is, three fandoms that are often crossed over. No, I don't care that it recommends that they all be in the same fandom, I ship crossover pairings anyway~.

(meme?)

First, write down the names of 12 characters (it's best when they're all from the same fandom). Then read and answer the questions.You can't look at the questions until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.

1. Souga Kazukiyo
2. Niou Masaharu
3. Remus Lupin
4. Fujioka Haruhi
5. Akutagawa Jirou
6. Andromeda Black
7. Nekozawa Umehito
8. Shishido Ryou
9. Lily Potter (junior)
10. Hoshakuji Renge
11. Sengoku Kiyosumi
12. Harry Potter (might as well. XD)

Have you read a 6/11 fic? (Sengoku Kiyosumi/Andromeda Black) Do you want to?
No, but I would love to - I can totally see it working since Sengoku is all happy-go-lucky and would bear with Andromeda's 'I can't be with you because I am a pureblood and you'll get murdered' moods. XD

Do you think 4 (Fujioka Haruhi) is hot? How hot?
Oh, of course. He is the epitome of masculine hotness.

What would happen if 12 (Harry Potter) got 8 (Shishido Ryou) pregnant?
Overwhelming hilarity. Definitely. Since it's possible, what with the wonders of magic. XD As well, both of them are very socially awkward - I'd feel bad for their kid. XD

Can you rec any fic(s) about 9? (Lily Potter)
Something by opalish? Because I love her Lily. She's a breath of fresh air (that consequently spews out slang at an alarming rate XD).

Would 2 and 6 make a good couple (Niou Masaharu and Andromeda Black)?
I think so - they've both got the tongue and Niou would be able to keep up with Andromeda - they're cunning. Niou would have been a Slytherin if he had gone to Hogwarts.

5/9 or 5/10? Why? (Akutagawa Jirou/Lily Potter OR Akutagawa Jirou/Hoshakuji Renge)
Oh, Jirou and Renge, definitely. They could fan girl/boy over people together - their bonding time, y'know~.

What would happen if 7 (Nekozawa Umehito) walked in 12(Harry Potter) and 2 (Niou Masaharu) having sex?
He would subsequently interrupt - 'I apologise, but are you Harry Potter, of wizarding fame?' XD And Harry would be like 'Damn, even in Muggle Japan I can't go around unnoticed!'

Make up a summary for a 3/10 fic. (Remus Lupin/Hoshakuji Renge)
Hoshakuji Renge was nothing if not stubborn, and she would persist until she revealed all of the new World History teacher's secrets. (Of course, it helped that he was cute - Renge's fangirl tendencies stopped for nothing, not even age gaps.)

Is there any such thing as 1/8 fluff? (Souga Kazukiyo/Shishido Ryou)
Oh, of course - they would be so cute together! Souga with his fear of, well, most everything scary, and shishido being socially awkward. XD Shishido could be all like 'Well, I'm kinda scared of this film too...' in his sheepish way and the two would end up watching a chick flick together instead of the manly horror film they had planned on XD

Suggest a title for a 7/12 hurt/comfort fic. (Nekozawa Umehito/Harry Potter)
The Darker Side of Sorcery

What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Fujioka Haruhi) to deflower 1 (Souga Kazukiyo)?
I'd just let Haruhi be Haruhi - oblivious and cute and making everyone fall in love with her, and then have some girl come along like Mei and tell her she liked Souga. And Haruhi would be all like 'Oh, I do' and be all to the point and tell Souga this too. And I suppose deflowering could be the result XD

Does anyone on your list read 7 (Nekozawa Umehito) slash?
I have no idea, since it doesn't seem that many people here read Ouran. I know I do!

Does anyone on your list read 3 (Remus Lupin) het?
Same answer as above, except with Harry Potter, and well, I read this too XD

Does anyone on your list write or draw 11 (Sengoku Kiyosumi)?
Yes! XD Chocolate Confection~.

Would anyone on your list write 2/4/5? ( Niou Masaharu/Fujioka Haruhi/Akutagawa Jirou)
...Nobody seems to write crossover pairings, really D: But I would if I found a plot cat for it xD

What might 10 (Hoshakuji Renge ) scream out at a moment of great passion?
MOEEEEEEE! (What? It didn't say what type of passion xD)

If you were to write a songfic for 8 (Shishido Ryou), which song would you use?
Hm. A song for Shishido. ...Oh my Hermes, totally Bad Boy by Cascada. XD Because it would be hilarious (and I'm envisioning Solitaire~).

If you were to write a 1/6/12 fic, what would the warnings be? (Souga Kazukiyo/Andromeda Black/Harry Potter)
Warning: crossovers ensue, as do pairings that make no sense. xD

What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Niou Masaharu) to use on 10 (Hoshakuji Renge)?
'Why fuss over those fangirly fantasies when I can help you actually fulfil one?' (Oh Hades make me stop >_>)

*dies*

"1 (Souga Kazukiyo) and 9 (Lily Potter) are in a happy relationship until 9 suddenly runs off with 4 (Fujioka Haruhi). 1 (Souga), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with 11 (Sengoku Kiyosumi) and a brief, unhappy affair with 12 (Harry Potter), then follows the wise advice of 5 (Akutagawa Jirou) and finds true love with 3 (Remus Lupin)." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it."

I'd call it 'convoluted', because that is what it is. xD And three people - no, I can't think of any, nor can I think of any who should write it XD

When was the last time you read a fic about 5 (Akutagawa Jirou)?
A very very very long time ago, I think xD

What is 6's (Andromeda Black) super-secret kink?
She has this thing for guys of lower class than she is XD

Would 11 (Sengoku Kiyosumi) shag 9 (Lily Potter)? Drunk or sober?
Drunk or sober. XD Lily Potter is a girl and that's good for Sengoku - his type is all the girls in the world, and Lily does fall under that category, s'long as she doesn't play around a bit too much with magic XD

If 3 (Remus Lupin) and 7 (Nekozawa Umehito) get together, who tops?
...Oh, this is hard. D: Hm. I think it'd be Nekozawa, if I disregard the age gap XD

How would you feel if 7/8 was canon? (Remus Lupin/Shishido Ryou)
Extremely bemused, considering the two aren't even in the same canon to begin with XD

Who would make a better college professor: 6 (Andromeda Black), or 11 (Sengoku Kiyosumi)?
Well, Andromeda would make the better professor - she'd know her stuff - but Sengoku woudl be the one that everybody liked and got yelled at by the too-serious professors XD

Do you think 2 (Niou Masaharu) is hot? How hot?
He's a bit too 2D for my liking, but otherwise, definitely XD

12 (Harry Potter) sends 8 (Shishido Ryou) on a mission. What is it? Does it succeed?
mission: pretend to be Harry Potter so that Harry can go sightseeing in Japan without getting ambushed

And utter failure. Because Harry's spell on Shishido to make him speak English fluently wears off a bit too quickly XD

What would 5 (Akutagawa Jirou) most likely be arrested for?
Public indecency. XD Probably was a bit too friendly with somebody XD

If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Remus Lupin) or 8 (Shishido Ryou)?
Remus, of course - Shishido's got nothing on him. First of all, Remus is a wizard and was the DADA professor. Second of all, Remus is far more awesome anyway~. XD

taggy?

2008-12-31T10:21:00.003-05:00

Seems I was tagged on facebook. And I don't like facebook, so I'm not doing it there.

The Rules of the Game are simple:
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
At the end, choose 16 RANDOM or not so random people you know and want to know better to be tagged.
You have to tag the person who tagged you. But that person doesn't have to do the note again. You should -- it's a great time waster.

And I'm not tagging anybody 'cause it's a waste of time~. XD (Or perhaps I'm just egocentric and don't care about you. XD)

and thus. it begins! ---~~~

1) I am very glad that 2008 is almost at an end, because the year 2008 has not been kind to me - it doesn't beat out 2004 yet though, for which I'm very glad. 2004 shall stay my benchmark year.

2) I am extremely possessive and prone to jealousy. About most everything. XD I'm pretty sad that way.

3) Sometimes I wonder if it would be so bad not to get a post-secondary education.

4) I have very high expectations of myself that I never fail to never reach.

5) I often wonder what happens after I die, but then I realise it's pointless and I'm wasting time in which I should be figuring out what to do as I live XD

6) At some times, I really like people because they're great and nice and fun, but then at others I hate them because of that too.

7) I sometimes wish I were a generally normal person, but then I think that normalcy isn't all it's cut out to be anyway - if I were normal, I'd probably want to be abnormal, and such xD

8) If there was one thing I could change about myself, it would be my lifespan. Right now, I kind of want to live forever - I want to see how this world ends. And then I change my mind and think that I'd like to die right now because I don't want to see the world trying to avoid the inevitable. XD I'm feeling a bit morbid; is it showing?

9) I wish I were more artistic. But then I wish I were less artistic. I wish I were less indecisive.

10) I never want to be too good at anything so I never let it show - I always play myself down - 'No, I can't play badminton', and I even miss a few birdies to show this. I don't like showing people I don't know sides of myself that I don't trust, and I don't trust any side of me that is particularly skilled at anything xD

11) I can count the days I can remember that I have gone without wondering about oblivion and such on one hand. All of these days happened before I was in high school.

12) When people try to wake me up, I pretend I'm sleeping anyway because usually, in the morning, I'm not ready to deal with anybody except myself XD

13) I am terrified of the bathroom on the ground floor of my house - I can't enter it without turning on the lights and closing the door firmly and locking the door and then looking around to make sure nothing is there - it has an eerie way of closing the door itself when it thinks I'm not looking. >_>

14) I don't like to be complimented - I always think there's some sympathy or pity or underlying message in compliments that I'm just not getting xD

15) I am paranoid.

16) I wish I could fly.

2008-12-31T09:50:00.003-05:00

A lone girl sits at her keyboard, wondering. There are so many things she'd like to say, so many memories she'd like to share, so many words that want to flow out through her fingers. But there isn't time. There isn't enough time left for anyone.

She sits.

She pauses.

She types.

'Happy New Year!'

That should be enough.

- from one Canadian who is too lazy to type up a proper post about how the year was great and such.

sanity, we have a problem.

2008-12-30T11:57:00.003-05:00

You can skip over the entirety of the next section. It's just there for me to put it down somewhere. I can't write it down on paper - there is more of a freedom to typing it out, I think - nor do I want to save it onto my computer,

=======

I can't write. I'm not sure why it took me this long to realise it, but my writing is deteriorating - that is, I like much of my writing before more than my writing now. At least for fanfiction. I can't seem to write it any more D: When I try to continue things I write previously, it seems so different and weird that I jut hate it. The only thing I'm not having too much trouble with is AUs and such, not including previously started AUs, probably because I'm not even really writing fanfiction what with twisting around the characters to my whim. D: I think there is just this big gap that I leapt over during my writing and now I can't build a bridge to bring my writing with me - I seem to have left it all on the other side, and I don't want to find new writing.

Hades, I'm so depressing. D: What's wrong with me?

(Rhetorical question: I know what's wrong with me. There are many things wrong, and writing is only one of them.)

I wish I hadn't baked that cake. I'm sorry for ranting. I think it's weird when I rant at people because I always think that I'm just being a bore; who cares what I have to think, really? I'm just going to scare people off and then people will hate me XD And people think I'm confident and arrogant. Hermes, what a laugh XD

If I don't cheer up by tomorrow, I will go and play badminton properly for once. That is my threat to myself to make myself less of a whiny brat. XD

=======

And that was my line! From here on in, there shall only be lightheartedness and insanity and all other things awin xD

Tomorrow, I'll be going to another family-friend party - I had one just last week for Christmas, but the parents do like to get together and have their little mahjong gigs XD It's for New Year's, of course, and it'll be fun~. I only hope that this time around there will also be chocolate, because there was Lindor last year. XD I do have Ferrero Rocher and Lindor at home, myself (three boxes of the first, seven of the second with three of them being DARK CHOCOLATE LINDOR) but there is a different feeling to chocolate that you share with good friends, I think XD. (Oh Hermes, I sound like such a hopeless romantic, please shoot me.)

The Roomba my dad got is very awesome though. It's so cute - like a little animal of some sort bustling about~. It's so adorable when it runs into walls - it's like watching a baby fall over XD My dad's brought it to almost every room already~. Only problem is, it doesn't do corners too well, but it's lovely anyway, and it's so cute so it makes up for it. XD

I've completely redesigned the main love interest in my novel~. =D Because I figured he was too boring being all immaculate and such, so I will make him more relatable~. XD I actually really like the characters that I have so far, so I think it'll be fun to write (if I ever start).

And that I never will~.

stolen from kyo-pin

2008-12-28T13:03:00.001-05:00

First of all, I'm back from my trip~. If I remember to, I might post up pictures - the falls were very misty, to the point that from the hotel I could barely see them. There were fireworks and a very cool magic show (with tigers and a lion cub!) and it was fun.

As well, my mom gave my dad a Roomba for Christmas and it's so cool~. It's bustling around in the basement right now and it's so cute!

I myself got many monokuro boo things, glovelets, a Build-an-Airplane-a-Day calendar, and lots of candy, so I'm going to be on cloud nine until the end of the year, at least. Yes, I am that fickle XD

Now onto the meme.

indisposition-pertaining benefits

2008-12-26T13:14:00.003-05:00

I know being sick is a bad thing, as is feeling faint, but I somehow rather like the feeling of being woozy. Right now, I feel as if I weigh half that which I do, because I'm ill and feeling very light~. Whenever I walk, it's like I'm floating~.

And for a little dose of Pascal:

while (awin <> healthy) do
begin
faint := general health / 100;
if illness := true then
faint := faint + illness.level / 100
else
faint := faint - sanity / 100;
if (awin.faint >= 1) then
awin.faint
else
faint: := faint + 0.1;
end;

XD Being ill makes me more easily amused.

But that wasn't actually the purpose of my post: I just wanted to say that I'll be in Niagara Falls (again) for vacation for two days! Yippee~. It's not that Niagara Falls isn't beautiful and such; it's just that the novelty wears off after the nth time you've been there~. But it'll be fun anyway; it's a family trip, so whatever XD

So TTFN?

teas

2008-12-22T12:09:00.003-05:00

So. More about the box of tea.

The last flavour was English Breakfast Tea - I haven't tried it yet. The box is also more than two years old it seems, but really, tea leaves won't go wrong, right? Either way, the teas I've tried taste delicious - and the teas I've tried are Twinings Camomile, Earl Grey, and Blackcurrant. My favourite is definitely Earl Grey - it has a distinct smell and is rich in flavour, whereas Camomile and Blackcurrant smell far better than they taste - the taste is more mild, and I'm more of a fan of stronger teas.

It's a very pretty wooden box though - it's polished nicely and has a clasp, and the varnish gives a very nice colour~. It even feels smooth - it must have been sanded nicely, and the only thing that would make it better is if my dad's company name isn't stuck on - it sort of ruins the atmosphere the box has. But oh well. It has lovely tea, and that's really all that matters.

I'm going to be buying presents today for my family - I've already gotten my mother a coffee maker, and I have to decide what to get my father and sister. For my brother I bought a book titled 'Stuff White People Like', because I think it is hilarious and he has a similar sense of humour~.

And I have to buy Sculpey eraser clay, to make presents for my school friends n___n Lots of stuff to be doing today~.

tea: sips of blackcurrant tea in between pieces of peach watering kissmint gum

second post!

2008-12-21T18:20:00.003-05:00

So I don't forget~. My dad got a fifty-dollar box of Twinings Tea - Earl Grey, Orange Pekoe, Darjeeling, Green, Blackcurrant, and one more that I'm temporarily forgetting - and it's delicious~. I'm drinking Earl Grey right now with lemon. I think I will now be adding a tea of the day section (tea being not just tea but more like afternoon tea) to my blogging, because the tea is just yum~.

So.

For the record, the tea that I was drinking when I posted up the post before this was Camomile Herbal Tea~. n____n I have a very wide selection of teas and pocky flavours, which I believe are a lovely combination.

Also, I think I'm going to completely redesign the main love interest in my story idea because, well, I think he's coming off as so weird he's cliche. So I'm going to make him more relatable - less like the guys I know, that is, and more like the hoi polloi. Let's see if I succeed.

tea: earl grey with lemon slice and original pocky

cheers

2008-12-21T13:37:00.002-05:00

It's finally winter, my favourite season! (Though I consider winter beginning after the first snow fall, which means that my winter started, what, early October? But anyway.)

For people in the northern hemisphere, today is the winter solstice - the shortest day and longest night of the year~. Anybody have any plans?

I know I have my Chinese winter festival, and will be eating 湯圓 (I'm really not sure how I would translate that - soup round really doesn't make any sense in English, now does it?) and then going out with friends - what better way to spend the longest night of the year than taking it all in without sleep? XD I don't plan on sleeping - it'll be fun to be going 'round with friends. First on the list will be present giving, since well, we all have messed-up schedules and thus can't see each other actually on Christmas Day, and then will be karaoke, because I live in Asiantown and karaoke is what, at every Chinese mall here~. We have two rooms booked for three hours, so that'll be from ten to one, and then after that we'll just head to my friend's house to watch classic Christmas films, those being the animated Grinch film (Hades, not the live-action; that's just creepy) and A Charlie Brown Christmas, also animated~.

And then there will be much gaming. Because there is always much gaming. And my friend promised to finally teach me chess, which is why I'm bringing my special chessboard, which has shotglasses for pieces 8D

I like my fruity alcohol, yes I do~. =D Never mind that I'm underage~.

But yes. There is my winter solstice - anybody else have any fun activities planned? I think the winter solstice falls on one of my favourite days of the year~.

friendly reminder

2008-12-19T23:42:00.002-05:00

My own little to-do list for the holidays, and holidays only - I'll be keeping out all the other junk I have to do after holidays end separate, or I'll be too focussed on that and never finish what I have to~. I need a post here to remind me of what I have to do, or I'll forget about it XD

saturnalia

2008-12-18T21:20:00.004-05:00

Today was Saturnalia, at least at my school, since we don't really follow the fixed date. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about - I'm presuming that's all xD - Saturnalia is basically a Roman Christmas holiday - I'm not going to go into the details, but it does have a wiki page - but what doesn't? XD But for us it's just like, an end-of-the-year holiday/potluck/alumni-return Classics party, and I got to see a lot of people who had already graduated, which was cool.

There was lots of food. I myself brought sandwiches, but there were pies and lasagnas and the yummiest meatballs by our (our being me and two other people XD) collective hero, whose name I shall not mention since I can't actually spell it, nor do I really know the guy and nice rice and chips and SMARTFOOD POPCORN (which is by far superior popcorn to every other brand) from the best person alive (for today) and et cetera~. So the food was good.

We had our annual Christmas skit, which is pretty much just Helen and Menelaus and the starting of Christmas (completely mythologically-inaccurate, but it's just for fun, so don't give - I mean, we have Theseus quoting a play written more than a thousand years after he finished his quest, okay? XD) and then we had our usual initiation of the juniors (which is not like hazing - it's all in good fun) and then we sang LATIN CHRISTMAS CAROLS, which is the highlight of every Saturnalia, in my opinion~. However, that was not good for my voice, since I'm sick and coughing, but it was such fun, especially when we sang songs that nobody really knew the tune to except our very own barbershop quartet (all alumni and all awesome~).

So all in all, a lovely evening, which is also the reason why I didn't post sono-pyon's pictures up on the weebly 'til now, for which I am very sorry. XD

And I believe this is my last day of school for the year, since I will be skipping school tomorrow - I already told my teachers, and they were all A-OKAY with it, since of course I am the model student and missing the last day of school (National Skip Day n___n) won't do me any harm, they think (but little do they know).

I think my 2008 is having a lovely beginning to the end. n____n

Now I will be playing World of Goo, which my friend gave to me 8D I can't wait. 8DDD

nightmare part 2

2008-12-16T16:34:00.003-05:00

Part 2 of my nightmare occurred last night, and this time, I couldn't wake up, rather than waking up early~. It was just as pretty as before, but creepier and with a larger cast.

So after my bus ride (in my previous dream), I arrived at school and everything was normal, as it was already eight in the morning - thus there was more colour and such and the world was lovely, outside of the slush and global warming and no world peace and such, but really, you can't ask for too much, right? So I go inside the school, and I see one of my friends(liyenthel on FFnet, in case any of you were wondering) and then suddenly she bursts. Like the animals from my previous dream, there was much blood and out came this weird shadowy monster with red eyes and I was all like 'What the heck?!' And I blink. And the monster is gone, as is the blood and gore and my friend. So I continue on my way, and then I see another friend(JUSTHGG) and same thing happens. This happens through out the whole school - everyone I see turns into one of those creepy monsters and then disappears.

But then I see somebody else - an old acquaintance I haven't really talked to since grade seven, since well, we had a little argument and things turned out that way. So I see him. He doesn't explode into guts and gore and such, so I run over, thinking to ask him what was happening.

He turns to face me and he has his usual smile - a little half-smile - and he says, 'I missed you sideways, Casie,' like Pelly from The Blue Girl, and then I die.

Just like that.

And I see my body crumple to the floor, and I'm watching me die and it's the weirdest thing, and then credits come down my dream. I can't read any of them, but there were credits.

And all throughout the nightmare, in the top left corner there was this song: The Highway to Hell by AC/DC. I looked it up; seems it's a real song though I've never heard it in my life.

It was so weird.

And to explain my previous 'on a lighter note' (which really is a lighter note, I think, rage-chan - it makes me laugh though I'm sure the little boys wouldn't), a british study reports that (and I quote) 'falling toilet seats are injuring an alarming number of recently potty-trained toddlers. The medical term for the damage - penis crush.' 8D

Tell me that doesn't make you giggle. I dare you.

nightmare

2008-12-15T19:13:00.002-05:00

I had an awful nightmare today, but it was one of my best dreams - like, it was a very horrific nightmare, but dream-wise, it ranked pretty high because it was memorable and interesting. XD Good dreams are nice and all, but usually don't make as much sense.

So in my nightmare, I'm moving myself from afar - like, I see my profile but am still moving me, sort of like a video game. And the style was like that of a video game too - that is, in the top left corner of my dream, there was a small bar that showed the song playing, even though I couldn't hear it, since my dreams are all soundless. And the dream was Human Sacrifice Alice, which is a very pretty song but a little on the creepy side.

So I am walking to my bus stop in the dream, which I do pretty much every morning. But behind me, when I'm not looking, all these weird things sprout up - like, out of squirrels burst (with much blood) these weird black-winged creatures that have glowing red eyes and such, and all the trees wilt and the grass turns grey. Everything behind me is in monochrome, whereas where I'm walking there's still a touch of colour, but not much - it is only seven in the morning, as it is usually when I walk to school, and since it's winter the sun doesn't really come up 'til what, seven thirty? But every time I turn back, everything disappears - at least, all the monsters and the glowing red eyes - the dead plants stay. And everytime I turn back, the monsters get a little bit closer and when they finally reach me, I wake up.

It was the scariest nightmare I've had in a while, and when I woke up this morning, I was really terrified and couldn't get out of bed 'til six thirty. XD And when I got out of bed, the whole house was silent and dark, like in the beginning of my dream when I just leave my house, and even the cockatiel (from my mother's friend because he's going on vacation; we're taking care of the bird for two weeks) is quiet (in real life) though it never shuts up at any other time. And there wasn't even noise from outside - it was just quiet. I thought I was going insane and started singing but then

I started singing Human Sacrifice Alice, and that wasn't really what I wanted to sing - but then I couldn't get anything else in my head so I just shut up and there was complete silence as I walked to my busstop - no car sounds, no rustling except for my footsteps, no other people - nothing.

I was so glad to see people at the busstop - I had never been so happy to board public transportation before either. xD Really, I was scared for nothing, but it was a very awful nightmare.

But I can't help but hope for another nightmare just like it tonight - they're so vivid and real that it's like living out a dream world - sort of like wonderland, if I'm going with the Alice route.~

On a lighter note, it seems that small boys are at risk of having their penises crushed by toilet seats.

2008/12/10, from start to finish

Comforting emotionally-distraught friend - seven hours
Getting ready for school - thirty minutes
Going to school - thirty minutes
School - seven hours
Bus/walk time - one hour
Waffle-making - one hour
Filming French project - three hours
Making the video camera work - one hour
Eating dinner - one hour

And that brings me up to speed - it's ten o' clock now.

It's nice how I haven't been able to sleep yet today. Really.

Nor will I be able to sleep for a few hours because of more school-related things. Great~.

And I haven't even found time to play piano yet today.

And people wonder why today's youth are always so grumpy. XD

oh my hermes

Speedtest

I've gotten faster than before XD

piano

2008-12-05T21:15:00.005-05:00

I had a rather long piano spout today - I'm not sure how long, but I started right when I got back, stopped a bit for a break on the computer, and then got right back on until now - I even skipped dinner because I forgot to go out with my friends. (Needless to say, they are not too happy with me - they couldn't get in contact with me since I don't answer the phone when I'm playing the piano. I don't do anything except play and listen~). I was just playing out technique over and over, scales and formula patterns and dominant sevenths and et cetera and now it is actually very tiring to type, and my typing speed has slowed - probably around a 95 words per minute~. But I feel very content. It's very calming just to play piano with eyes closed, just listening to the music and trying to hear if all my notes are together - and they started off together, my scales, but got progressively worse throughout the practice. Probably because my hands are dead-tired now~. Very warm too~.

I think I will go sleep now, even though it's only nine. I think I've had enough of today - my day at the moment is rather perfect (writing at school, piano at home) and ending it at this time seems rather fitting - after playing piano, a nice long sleep - I know it won't be fitful either, as it sometimes is with me - I don't often wake up in the middle of the night, but sometimes I am not able to sleep until three in the morning and end up waking up at four anyway because of some nightmare~.

But I'm sure I will have a nice sleep. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Good Day Recipe

Ingredients
over one hour of piano playing
over two thousand words
at least six hours of sleep

Please put the ingredients together in any other. The sleep cannot be split into parts that are less than three hours each. However, the writing can be split in any way. The piano playing must come in spouts of at least thirty minutes each.

Good night~.

Christmas

2008-12-04T16:29:00.003-05:00

I plan on making truffles for school friends this year instead of specifically buying stuff - I think it will be all the more appreciated if I bake them something without it being awful XDD

As well, I finally sent rage-chan a letter! n___n It did take a while, really, and I will be rather sad if it doesn't get to her before Christmas - Canada Post did say that it would, but somehow, I don't really trust it. XD

I think I will have a very nice Christmas this year n____n Just a feeling. I always have weird feelings about things - like, how one day is going to be great and another isn't. It's like how I've decided that my Tuesdays are either amazing or drop-dead awful, my Wednesdays are dispassionate, my Mondays are bland, and my Thursdays and Fridays are exciting. I'm a bit weird like that. Of course, weekends don't get labelled because they're always too different.

...I think this post was supposed to be about Christmas, but once again, I've digressed. My short attention span doesn't let me type about something for too long without changing the topic, I suppose~. Can't be helped.

I want to write more letters now~.

friendship?

2008-12-02T15:51:00.003-05:00

I had a rather nice day yesterday, when my old friend gave me a birthday present on the bus. We've gotten less close over the years, but we've been friends for ten years and best friends for most of them, up until 'round two years ago. She gave me a photo frame with a picture of us from... grade 1, grade 2? Somewhere around there, but it just made me realise what great friends I really have~.

(Of course, I had to ruin the wonderfully cheesy moment by telling her that no, it wasn't my birthday, because it was November 31st and then she looked at me like I was crazy. XD)

Then on Facebook all these random people I haven't talked to in forever posted on my wall to say the same, and I was so surprised - I had even forgotten who some of them were (I tend to erase people from my memory at a whim) and I had met them in real life too, so I felt rather ...content? Not the word I'm looking for, but still.

And on the forum too - I thank everybody who's said Happy Birthday to me or written me something~.

It's nice to feel loved, but somehow, I feel like this is all a façade - I'm just waiting for the punchline. XD

This is what I get for being too analytical. n__n"

blog button?

2008-12-01T18:49:00.002-05:00

This is for the POT site, and just testing to see if it works. I wanted it to look like those RSS feed buttons~.

chapters

2008-11-28T14:11:00.003-05:00

I spent 58 dollars on books today, and didn't have to pay a cent because of my gift cards n___n I am at the moment impossibly cheerful.

First of all, I got Tactics 7. Tactics seems to be spewing out volumes at an impossible rate - volume 8 comes out in January and 7 just came out. As well, 6 just came out at the end of August. I love Tactics; the art for it is beautifully, as is the storyline, and I can't wait for 8 because it had such an awful cliffhanger (awful as in heartrending, not bad~).

As well, I bought Millennium Snow, which I had been planning to buy for a while. It's too impossibly (everything today seems to be impossible) cute not to buy, really, even if it seems to be on permanent hiatus.

I also got myself some more Terry Pratchett (as if I needed more on my shelf, really) because Terry Pratchett's novels are simply wonderful. I just love Discworld so~.

Then, I ordered volumes 1 and 2 (I already have 3~) of Junjou Romantica. =D Which is, of course, great because when added to my total, I could use my 5 DOLLARS OFF coupon which resulted in my 58 dollars which is an amazingly wonderful price for five books that I absolutely adore.

I have very many adverbs in this, but all the adverbs in the world could not express my elation at the moment.

Yum.

Even the looming homework that I've not done yet doesn't bring me down! It'll take until Monday for it to sink in~. For now, I'll simply bask in the glory of literature.

a post a day

2008-11-26T17:09:00.003-05:00

I'm going to try and go for a post a day, because, well, posting helps me recall what I have to do homework-wise, because I go through my day mentally and then remember things like 'Hades, I haven't done that project that's due tomorrow!' and such~.

I got myself a nice cutting board, finally, in preparation for my winter holidays - I plan on making much papercraft. =D I'll have my lovely Howl's Moving Castle, then the bulldozer, and lastly, if I have time (which I probably won't) the ultra realistic motorcycle that takes a whole lot of paper to print out~.

I even bought card paper (18 dollars for 250 sheets!) for the occasion~. I have my sister's lovely photo printer that will hopefully not run out of ink as I'm going through, because well, half a Howl's Moving Castle just doesn't have the same appeal as a whole one, and same for a bulldozer with the shovel. It's just not cool, see~.

But I have all this homework to be doing anyway, so I shouldn't be thinking about that. XD

Focussing on

boyband AU, pink SHINE challenge, The Game of Life SHINE challenge, tenipuri winter holiday oneshot series.

To-do list

Graphic Design logo project, preparation for the trial of Nero, Othello essay, Media Studies PSA, Japanese script and cards.

I'll be using this blog as my agenda now, because I don't want to download rainlendar and my actual agenda from school is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.

lanameme

2008-11-25T16:49:00.002-05:00

Because the meme part (x) titles were getting boring~.

1. Same as all the other number 1s. xD
2. ...Please don't be offended, but High School Musical XD
3. You have changed your penname far more times than I have~.
4. 'Oh my, more people on the forum that are younger than I am!'
5. ...A chubby guinea pig, that's still very energetic~.
6. Why purple? 0_o

meme part 4

2008-11-24T21:08:00.004-05:00

My titles are so imaginative, aren't they?

And I'll be taking your comment in the shoutbox as a comment for the meme, ezyl-tan, and if it wasn't, you can just put this post in a sealed box with a flask containing a poison. (Please tell me that somebody understands what the heck I'm talking about. XD)

1. Because you were there.
2. For some reason, Mean Girls. XD
3. You like your penname to not be capitalised.
4. 'ezyl? What the heck is that supposed to mean?'
5. A very excitable hamster.
6. What is ezyl supposed to mean? XD

meme part 3!

2008-11-23T10:23:00.002-05:00

For Vio! =D

1. 'Cause you were on the forum, and you weren't boring. XD My reasons are usually the same.
2. Strangely enough, I think of a cross between Marisa Stole The Precious Thing and O-Parts. XD
3. You have pretty pennames~.
4. I thought 'Violet? A nice colour.' I judge people by pennames a lot~. =D
5. Hm. I think... an Abyssinian - cat, not horse.
6. What is your time zone? *dies* I've never quite grasped the time zone concept, and when you're on you're always like 'Morning' when I'm 'Evening!', and I've never quite figured out our time difference XD

meme part 2 and more

2008-11-22T10:46:00.004-05:00

In reply to Rage-chan~.

1. Well, frankly, because you were there (on the forum) and you weren't boring. XD
2. Little Red Riding Hood isn't a film, nor is it a song, but I think of it when I think of you~. XD
3. You're currently obsessed with something that I don't see the point of, but it's rather cute~.
4. I saw your penname and thought 'Reckless rage? That's not very sensible.' But then you turned out not to be as violent as your penname suggested, and that was pleasant XD
5. A young puppy. A mutt though XD
6. A question? Hm. I don' t know. How many hours a day do you sleep? 0_o I've had the impression that you sleep a lot for the longest time. Sort of like a napping cat? XD

Now for the 'and more'.

I'm going to watch Bolt tomorrow, and this is rather exciting for me. XD I'm going out with Geek Con, as usual, and it's a mass birthday party for myself and two other people, one of whose birthdays is November 20, and the other's December 10. Mine's in the middle, being December 1, so we're having... one birthday party to span over twenty days. It's a bit extreme, but we don't want three separate outings XDDD Outings cost money, of which many of us have not much. XD

And my friend's going to buy me an ice cream crepe! *cheers* There's this neat little shop in the food court that sells crepes, both of the dessert and meal variety, and it sells okay bubble tea as well, but the crepes are simply delectable. I can't wait~.

We're getting December 10 girl LittleBigPlanet and Crisis Core, and you can't believe how jealous I am. xDD I'd love to have LittleBigPlanet; it's the greatest thing but I don't have a PS3, because I think it sucks, but I'd buy it if I had money because all these great games are on it. XD But then I'd have to get a 360 as well, what with VESPERIA BEING ON IT. DX Argh.

And I bought November 20 girl a volume of manga and some weird plush pink thing, but I have yet to wrap them since I can't figure out how~.

Either way, I'm going to have a fun Sunday. If only Monday didn't come right after it~.

I've been in the mood for writing lately, and I've been writing a lot, but now, I think I am going to restart NaNo with a completely different idea. I might be a bit late, but might as well try, I suppose~.

I'm also in the mood for writing LiGHTLeSS, which is weird. But NaNo writing comes first~.

2008-11-10T21:54:00.003-05:00

I've been wondering who actually reads this blog, so if you do, please drop a post in the tagboard over the side~.

Because I want to know what I can say and what I can't, even though I know I'll be saying both anyway.

My xDs and =Ds have been dying out recently, which is a damper on my mood, even though it already has dampers on it. Also, I've found myself more loquacious than usual in real life, and I'm not sure if that is a good thing. It's not that I say more things of relevance; it's that I have more filler in between more words. Like I say more nothing now than I said before~.

=D

...No, it just feels weird to have smileys. The tildes have taken over, pretending to be full stops. Oh, it's the end of a sentence - must add a tilde! Oh, a question? Let's add a tilde to the end of that!~ ... And I just did it there too. I must stop.~

...Agh.

No, I'm not sure how I got on this topic either~.

new and reformed

I had been planning on abandoning this blog, in fact, because I didn't think there was much of a reason to update in the first place, since the cbox's pop-ups were annoying me to no end.

But then I found this nifty new chat box that doesn't have the same visual appeal as the cbox but comes sans pop-ups, so here I am again.

I'm not sure that I'll be updating frequently - I probably won't, but I'll see what I can about that.

I haven't kept up with blog reading since I lost all my bookmarks in the Great Laptop Format, and have not had the heart to get them all back. So do forgive me for not showing up very often in comments and cboxes and such.

I think I may be ending my participation in NaNo, because I am more in the mood of fanfiction - Ouran fanfiction, that is. As well, I don't want to force the storyline that I have for my latest noveling attempt; I actually rather like it and don't wish to have it rushed into a makeshift hapless novella that I will forget the moment I finish it, like I had with my NaNo novel last year.

What is there to say? I got second in Fall Certamen, only to be expected since I always get shafted to the secondary team, I got married to three people (oh Canada, polygamy is well and alive!), two of whom I had been married to before and one of whom I had been having an affair with, even though I had been a friend with benefits to that boy's wife at the same time, and I don't want to buy my Japanese textbook which is fifty dollars Canadian.

None of this is very interesting - I'm not sure why people read blog posts, really; how are the lives of people interesting to others when they don't even pertain to them? It's sort of like reading gossip about celebrities who live far far away and have secret sex lives that we are not privy to except blog posts aren't even usually by celebrities. (I myself don't approve of tabloids or celebrity gossip - I don't care about the affairs of people close to me a lot of the time, so why would I care about people who I don't even know?)

I've recently joined an Ouran forum - the explanation for my Ouran craze - and it is such a fun forum. Since nobody ever seems to be on at our forum whenever I go on, I have been popping by the Ouran forum more and more. Part of the reason for this is because the Ouran forum is more aesthetically pleasing. FFnet's bland blue and white is a very nice colour scheme but just does not have the same appeal as pretty banners with pretty boys.

This post is getting longer and longer yet I don't seem to have a point just yet. So wait.

Hm.

Well.

I just lost the game.

THREE NAMES YOU GO BY:

1) Casie - my English name. xD I like it, but people tend to pronounce it wrongly or spell it wrongly. Which makes me sad.
2) My Chinese name that looks awful in English letters: tsz wing. I mean, how the heck do you pronounce 'tsz'?!
3) nothrills - the result of an awful, awful conversation in which many people got nicknames that are equally as awful as this one.

3) Long white socks n_n

THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS

1) Moonlight Sonata, because it was featured in Detective Conan XD My first exposure (at a very young age) to classical music, which I adore! (Though not Bach. I'd say that Bach could go die if he weren't already dead.)

online otome games?

2008-10-04T10:52:00.006-04:00

I was searching around through Japanese sites yesterday, when I found two otome games XD One is by D3 (which I adore because they made the crazily scrumptious Hoshizora no Comic Garden and more) and one is edit: some sort of mix between a dating sim and facebook XD Both of them have blog button things that I might put on if I can a) find a prettier one for the D3 one, which is simply a button and doesn't show the pretty boys, or b) get enough hearts for one of the boys from web kare XDDD

But now I'm playing and it's quite fun~. The D3 Idol art is quite quite pretty.

See, Japanese 2D pretty boys are to blame for me not doing my schoolwork XD

edit: Boo, the D3 one is just a teaser for the full PC game DDX And the boys are pretty and the art's nice toooo. DDX I think it's for PC, at least. My Japanese sucks XD I also can't find the release date anywhere >_<

cbox

2008-10-03T19:24:00.003-04:00

I found out the cause of my pop-ups: the cbox. XD I'm now searching for a similar tagboard to replace it~.

edit: Have searched, but have found none with the speed and customisation of cbox, so shall stick with it. Please bear with the awful pop-ups XDD

spoiled?

2008-10-01T19:47:00.004-04:00

awin's possessions:

1. a laptop that is at least five years old (says my dad who got it from his company since they got new laptops)

2. a broken MP3 player which my dad tried to fix and ultimately ruined.

3. no tablet whatsoever, though she desperately desires one because it'd make graphic design so much easier.

dearest sister's possessions:

1. a new computer since she broke her last one - a brand spanking new computer~.

2. a two-gig MP3 player since she insisted she needed a voice recording device for her Mandarin class.

3. a Wacom tablet. Because she wanted one. And my parents got it for her.

Why can't I be spoiled and break my stuff/act whiny so I can get new things? I wish I were more of a brat - life would be more tangibly pleasurable.

On a brighter note, Junior Trivia Tournament is starting this Friday! I get to help out n____n I can't wait to pick out the smart people for the junior Certamen teeeams~. XDDD

And tomorrow is the Discus Ultimus tournament at my school, which I happily will not be attending - though I do imagine that I will be sad if I miss any homo homo fantasy action from my favourite CGBs, who will both be at the tournament (for at least a brief amount of time).

I've just been bemoaning my lack of an MP3 player recently (and my sister's acquiring of one) because I kinda need a music player for graphic design, 'cause I need to listen to my song whilst I draw out the lyrics.

But then I don't want to ask my parents since they've already wasted so much money on my sister - and it is a waste. She doesn't have 512 mb of music to listen to, let alone two gigabytes, and she doesn't use her tablet at all even though it was crazy expensive.

Hermes.

Her computer doesn't like to restart every other hour. .____. At least my laptop has personality, I s'pose. As does every technological thing I own~.

To personality!

bus-ish worries

2008-09-30T19:35:00.002-04:00

I've been on public transit for a while, for transport to and from school. Nothing happens usually, except for my bus driver being extremely annoying by a) speeding on the 'traffic-calmed' roads, which makes the bus teeter back and forth - and it really doesn't need much to be toppled, I think, what with the bus being the most Hades-awful bus on the road since it's only ferrying students and thus it can be leaky and have broken bells - but anyway - and b) taking restroom breaks at the gallery every single day.

Sadly enough, it doesn't matter if we complain, as we are students and have no other form of possible transportation, and not taking public transit would cause our skipping school, which is, I'm afraid, rather uncool.

But today was just awful.

Just yesterday, on the bus ride home, he kicked this guy off the bus for swearing at him - and though I admit, swearing is disrespectful, the guy that got kicked off was only telling him to turn the bell on the bus on so the bus driver would know when people wanted to get off the bus - and the bus driver refused, which instigated the swearing.

But today, the same guy (who, apparently, needs some anger management, really) shoved this guy who had been taking up three seats, and then, the bus driver goes and calls the police. Even after the guy who got shoved tried to explain the situation to him. And the guy who got shoved was all apologetic, saying 'sir, please' and all that junk - 'cause he was on probation, and having to meet with police would probably cause his being thrown into jail - and he really hadn't done anything wrong except for take up three seats, and he had been getting up to let the other guy sit down anyway.

But then the bus driver called the police anyway, causing an unnecessary delay in everybody's schedule, and the two people in the minor disturbance were taken off the bus and put into police custody.

So now I am rather unamused. I'm so glad that the person driving in the afternoon isn't the same as the one in the morning, because I'm not sure I could put up with such garbage when I'm not even entirely awake.

new template

2008-09-28T22:02:00.002-04:00

I'm still messing around with this one, so bear with the font that is a bit hard to read for now, please? XD

I need to find another background first~.

Piano Music

2008-09-28T15:51:00.006-04:00

And here is random piano~. Because I finally got 'round to playing DUES.

Woot.

Goodies Galore

2008-09-25T21:47:00.002-04:00

I'll be heading for the University Fair tomorrow, and am quite looking forward to it~. There's always a bunch of free stuff to get, be they t-shirts or pens or tote bags, and I can't wait to get my hands on them~. They're always so cool.

...But of course I'm going for information about university too XD That's a given.

Really, it is.

I've started playing a new otome game (again) - Hoshizora no Comic Garden, and it's quite fun. You're an aspiring mangaka, and you go through cute minigames to garner love interest XD And it's partly voiced by very awesome seiyuus, such as Miyano Mamoru (Suou Tamaki, anyone? :3) and Midorikawa Hikaru (well, to be PoT-ish, Akutsu Jin, but also, MARTH of Super Smash fame and Leon from Destiny).

It is rather addictive, though very text-heavy and with limited save points, which really isn't my thing XD I like to save before like, every single possible decision point.

But anyway. I hope that some sort of epiphany shall happen to me when I am at Uni Fair which will tell me what university I want to apply to and for what because right now, I've absolutely no idea.

(In the forest, a mockingbird cries, 'No future, no future!')

Pop-ups?

2008-09-18T17:17:00.001-04:00

When I went to look at my blog, a pop-up showed up, and perplexed, I refreshed, only to have the same thing happen again.

Do tell, does this always happen on my blog? 0_o And how am I supposed to make this not happen? 0_o

Webclap

2008-09-16T20:11:00.003-04:00

I've re-added a link to webclap in my sidebar, right underneath razzle.dazzle n____n Actual images will be up shortly, I hope, because I plan from here on in to be using this blog for posting up random attempts at pictures as well, since I've drawn so much later what with nothing to do during classes. XD

I have another Latin vocab bingo thing tomorrow! I hope I win another cookie - they're the nice-ish cookies with strawberry filling n____n

I also now really want to play Team Fortress 2, simply because the videos for it are oh-so-awesome. I'll see if I can steal it off my brother XDDDDD

My blogposts are never coherent, are they.

character meme

2008-09-10T22:00:00.002-04:00

Characters Chosen: [Ouran/PoT]

1. Nekozawa Umehito
2. Atobe Keigo
3. Ohtori Kyouya
4. Fujioka Haruhi
5. Oshitari Yuushi
6. Hitachiin Hikaru
7. Hitachiin Kaoru
8. Niou Masaharu
9. Marui Bunta
10. Sengoku Kiyosumi

1. If 10 [Sengoku Kiyosumi] was of the opposite gender, who from the list would he or she date?

Sengoku? I'm not sure who he'd date - probably Marui Bunta XD, but I'd -like- to pair him up with Nekozawa, maybe. Seems like fun 8D

2. If 7 [Hitachiin Kaoru] and 3 [Ohtori Kyouya] went to see a film together who would pay, and what snacks would each want?

Well, this is just lovely, 'cause I happen to love this pairing so very much XD They would see a) something deep and mind bending and thought invoking or b) something stupid that Tamaki picked out because he wanted the Host Club to go out and -bond-, or something like that. XD And Kaoru would just get whatever Hikaru wanted, but would afterwards, take much of the proffered snack that Kyouya bought, which would be an aloe drink, because both Kyouya and Kaoru, I think, wouldn't be the type of people to buy food to eat whilst watching a film. And it'd be aloe because Kyouya knew Kaoru liked it n___n (At least, my Kaoru likes it XD)

3. If 8 [Niou Masaharu] was your parent what would he/she leave you as a family heirloom?

Niou, my parent? Wait - Niou, a parent of anybody? A terrifying idea. But he'd probably leave something completely freaky. Like a gun. XD It'd be his way of keeping his kids in line, I'm sure. XD

4. Describe a pair of socks 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] wears on a regular basis.

Black socks. To match his black everything else. But if he were to be going on a date (perhaps with Haruhi or Kaoru or Renge), however, and was dressed in formal attire, the socks would be a very very clean white.

5. If 2 [Atobe Keigo] and 4 [Fujioka Haruhi] got into an argument what would it be about? How would they settle it?

I have a feeling that it'd be over poetry. Perhaps over Milton XDD And they'd settle it by debating this at length - perhaps for hours, irritating the heck out of the twins and Oshitari - and finally come to the conclusion that both were right. XD

6. If you could change any one thing about 6 [Hitachiin Hikaru], what would it be?

I wouldn't change him at all. XD If I changed him even a bit, I'm sure that the angstiness between him and Kaoru wouldn't be the same. XD And his denseness is just good for potential HikaHaru, y'know? XD

7. If 5 [Oshitari Yuushi] and 9 [Marui Bunta] got stuck in an elevator together with nothing but a deck of cards, bag of pretzels, and sandwich for 2+ hours, how would they pass the time, which one of them brought each item on the elevator, and what would 10 [Sengoku Kiyosumi] say/think while watching the surveillance video?

Oshitari would have brought the deck of cards, definitely. Seems like him to just whip out a deck of cards and do some magic tricks, 'cause he thinks he's cool like that. XD Marui would have brought both the pretzels and the sandwich, because he is a big round ball. xD They'd pass the time by first conversing about their situation, Oshitari dryly amused and Marui just very irritated, and then they might play some cards because Oshitari would have mentioned that they were using up air by talking so much, and thus they would play cards to keep themselves occupied instead.

And Sengoku would just be laughing his head off at Marui. Because that is what he does, and he lives to irk Marui. XD Because Sengoku obviously is the better detective. XD (And the detective AU strikes again!)

8. Would 7 [Hitachiin Kaoru] risk his/her life for 4 [Fujioka Haruhi]?

Definitely.

9. How would 6 [Hitachiin Hikaru] act when drunk, what's their drink of choice, and would 10 [Sengoku Kiyosumi] make sure nothing happens to the intoxicated 6 [Hitachiin Hikaru]?

Hikaru would act like, well, very blunt and more childish than he is now. XD He'd probably be very prissy if he went to a bar, and only ask for like, the amazingly expensive stuff. XP Sengoku would probably only intervene if Hikaru was about to like, jump off a cliff. Though probably not before laughing his head off about it. XD

10. If you dropped by 3's [Ohtori Kyouya] home unexpectedly what would it look like?

Just absolutely huge. XD With, of course, the weird souvenirs from Tamaki XD

11. What will 2 [Atobe Keigo] do after their goals are accomplished?

Court Ryoma? 8D

12. 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] loses their memory (how did it happen?), and 8 [Niou Masaharu] has to take care of him/her. 8 [Niou Masaharu] has always had a crush on 1 [Nekozawa Umehito], and 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] ends up falling for 8 while being cared for. 8 [Niou Masaharu] knows 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] is engaged to 5 [Oshitari Yuushi], and that the two are engaged to be married when 5 [Oshitari Yuushi] returns to the country. What happens when 5 [Oshitari Yuushi] returns?

Well, Nekozawa would have had some sort of traumatic experience - perhaps, too much sunlight had done in his memory 8D And after Oshitari returns, Nekozawa's memory will return completely and he will realise that he loves Haruhi and Oshitari and Niou will live happily ever after, as will Nekozawa and Haruhi once he's figured out how to make the Host Club like him. XD

13. 7 [Hitachiin Kaoru] sees a stranger getting mugged, does he/she continue walking or help in some way?

He'd definitely help out. Kaoru is just nice like that.

14. 6 [Hitachiin Hikaru] and 4 [Fujioka Haruhi] sing a duet, which song do they perform?

It doesn't matter what song they pick, because once Haruhi starts singing, Hikaru stops her. XD

15. If 9 [Marui Bunta] were an animal what would he/she be?

...Hm. Something fat. XD And pudgy. A panda? XD

16. 3 [Ohtori Kyouya] knows 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] and 9 [Marui Bunta] like each other, even if they won't admit it. 3 [Ohtori Kyouya] enlists the help of 8 [Niou Masaharu] to set them up. What are their plans, and do 1 [Nekozawa Umehito] and 9 [Marui Bunta] fall for it? Are the plans successful in getting the two to realize their feeling?

Niou and Kyouya are quite the dastardly duo, I'd say. XD And Nekozawa and Marui won't know what hit them. XD They probably have some very scary plan of like, influencing Nekozawa and Marui to meet up 'accidentally' on the streets and then love would bloom. XDD

17 . 2 [Atobe Keigo], in a rush to start his/her first day of work, accidentally spills their coffee on 5 [Oshitari Yuushi] while leaving the crowded shop. 2 [Atobe Keigo] quickly apologizes, offers to pay the dry cleaning bill, and leaves. 5 [Oshitari Yuushi] turns out to be 2's [Atobe Keigo] new boss. What is their first conversation in the office?

This is totally totally backwards. Oshitari being Atobe's boss makes no sense at all. XD But the first conversation would be like, a battle of the two drawling, I bet. \

My brother, talking aimlessly to himself. Though I suppose he might be talking to me XD

To the mundane.

I really don't know. XD

43. Rolling Stones or Beatles?
I don't listen to the songs of either XD

New Template

2008-08-30T22:14:00.001-04:00

Because I decided that a change was in order, here is a change. XD New template. Isn't it nice?

I hate Paint. Paint hates me. The feeling is thus mutual, but we are both reliant on each other. Without Paint, I have no arty program. Without me, Paint has no user.

Oh, what a twisted, twisted relationship.

But yes. Back on topic. New template would have been prettier, me thinks, without my messing around with it.

Wanted: For Stealing Memes

2008-08-28T11:34:00.002-04:00

Taken from Rage-chaaaan.

1. Spell your name backwards.
niwa XD

2. Pretend you've had 15 beers. Describe what you would be doing right now?
Playing chess. The only time I'd drink beer is if I was at my friend's house with his shotglass chess set. And I would lose, because I've never been taught to play chess.

3. Where are you right now?
Physically, I'm home, but mentally, at Chapters, where I have yet to renew my irewards card to get more coupons.

4. What is the closest object to you?
Very big pliers. That or my bucket of used batteries.

5. Do you talk to yourself?
Only mentally. I try to avoid talking aloud to myself when possible, because I don't want to increase the time I have to answer stupid questions from stupid people.

6. Do you drink milk straight from the carton?
Only when it's at least a quarter done XD And only if I have chocolate syrup. Because I don't like carton milk or like, those bags of milk. I only like the fresh milk in Hong Kong that's in bottles that are taken away for recycling daily. XD

7. Who knows a secret about you?
Very very few. And the secrets that I tell people really aren't secrets at all, but carefully veiled normal statements about myself to make people think they know me XD

8. How long is your hair?
Eh, a third done my back? I really can't tell XD

9. How much money do you have in your wallet now?
I have a plastic 10 dollar bill from HK (and it's so pretty and part of it's see-through and it's actual currency!), and 5.25 in Canadian, 5 from the five-dollar bill, and .25 from my special breast cancer quarter xD

10. Describe what you're wearing?
My nightgown. It has Sylvester and Tweety on it in Santa outfit and wrapping paper respectively.

11. Do you like anyone now?
I'm not exactly sure XD But yesterday, I was told by my brother (and then reassured by good friends, all laughing) that I do have a boyfriend, and he is 2D. (And we shall have two-and-a-half dimensional children, or rather, you know, pseudo-diagonal 3D.)

12. Name things in your wallet.
In my wallet? The money I mentioned above, aluminium tape that a schoolmate engraved very prettily (like medieval-ish?) with my initials, a laminated card with purikura of my two friends (who are going to uni this year DX) and me on it, my student ID card from last year and this year (I just got it yesterday! It's ugly.), my not-yet-renewed irewards card, my library card (which is so beat up since I got it when I was five), my EB games card XDD, a red pocket for good luck, a silver ribbon which I unwrapped from a very pretty present, and... I don't recall any more. My wallet is down two flights of stairs and thus too much of a hassle to get XD

13. When was the worst date ever?
I think the dates I've had are all on the same level. There's no one that is worse than all the rest XD That is not to say that any were good xDDD

14. Is your birthday on a holiday?
Well, there's a PA day before it, and it's on World Aids Day, so...xDDD

15. What do you spend most of your money on?
Books. If the choices were between eating a meal and buying a book, I would buy the book. xD But I do like to eat too.

16. Last thing you cooked today?
Well, very very early today (at like, two a.m.), I cooked instant noodles xD

17. Is there something you're angry about?
Today? No.

18. Do you hate someone right now?
Not any more~.

19. Do you think love conquers all?
No. That's stupid XD

20. Why is the sky blue?
...Am I actually supposed to explain? XD Too much work~.

21. What do you do when you wake up?
Either take a shower or eat. xD

22. Who do you hang out with often?
The Geek Con and my other family friends, whom I might not be hanging out with often any more since TWO OF THEM ARE RUNNING OFF TO UNI DX

23. Do you have any regrets?
Who doesn't?

24. Do you use an alarm clock?
Yes, but I always wake up thirty minutes before it rings XD

25. What is your cellphone network?
Rogers. It sucks.

26. Single?
Almost XD If I had my way, I would be XD

27. When was the last time someone told you that you were cute?
Yesterday, when I was talking to a friend in my car. Does it count if she's insane? XD

28. What do you feel when someone asked you your number?
Nothing. XD It's just a way of contacting me (though it doesn't usually work, what with my phone hating me XD)

29. Have you tried asking someone their number?
Yes. It was very sad because the reason I was unsuccessful was because the person I asked didn't know his number. And the only time I tried that was when I was five. XD

30. Do you have bitterness in your heart?
Actually, I don't think so. xD

Weird Cousin Behaviour

2008-08-21T00:07:00.003-04:00

1. Whenever he sees any reflective surface, he has to primp.

2. The reason he did not go play in the bubbles today was not because he thought it was childish, but because he didn't want his forty-dollar Tommy Hilfiger shirt to get dirty.

3. He won't stop playing mahjong, and thus making me play mahjong with him.

4. He takes longer in the restroom than all the girls. Sometimes combined.

5. Every time we have to go outside, he runs upstairs to take a shower. And he always, always washes his hair.

6. He is very wimpy and wouldn't go on the teacup ride until we begged and pleaded with him.

7. He is the only person to have won any prizes today at the Ex. Which is really unfair because some of the games were luck and not skill.

8. He had only learnt to play mahjong two weeks ago and now all he does is ask if we want to play mahjong.

9. And he keeps winning.

First Forum Dream

2008-08-18T17:41:00.003-04:00

Yesterday (or rather, early this morning) I had my first dream with a forumer in it! XD (At least, the first dream I remember. I don't always remember my dreams.)

And the lucky forumer was Rage-chan, who happened to be, if I remember correctly (the details are already fuzzy), the damsel in distress. XD Also, Cherry, my real-life friend was there.

So. Me and Cherry were like, vampires (and not the Meyer kind, thank Zeus), and we were saving Rage-chan from Stephen Hawking, whom I've yet to actually figure out. Like, I don't know who he is XD

But it was very like an action film. With guns and things and explosions.

I don't know. I didn't actually see Rage-chan's face, but I just knew it was Rage-chan.

But I'm not sure how it ended. I just remember somebody dying.

And now to read Stephen Hawking's wiki article.

Meme get!

2008-08-14T00:10:00.002-04:00

Pick an object on the table right now, and say how it is similar to you.

Bag

My bag is similar to me because it can eat more than it looks like it can, and is flat. Also, it has long appendages. It has what can be called 'four eyes' as do I, though I have 'four eyes' as in a pair of eyes with glasses, unlike my bag that actually has four eyes.

Most of all, my bag is weird.

Italics or Bold?

Italics. Bold things are ugly.

Ice-skating or Roller Blading?

I prefer ice skating. Roller blading is bad for my health. I can't go roller-blading on anything except for an exceptionally flat surface, and even then I fall a lot. Contrarily, I can ice skate even if the protector thing is still on the skate's blade on the right foot, though then I skate in circles.

Baking or Cooking?

Baking. The results are more interesting, at least with me.

Writing or Drawing?

Writing, I think. XD

Who did you grab this from?

Vio-chan~.

What's your favourite candy?

You can't ask me to -choose-.

Think carefully : How many of your friends do you consider weird?

Nobody's normal, really. Who defines normal?

What's your job ambition?

Something in which I can be paid for being myself XD

Are you rich?

I'm rich in ... friendship? DX ... Yeah, as if. I'm as rich as the spider crawling on the ice pack in front of me XD

If you could ask anyone two questions, and they had to answer truthfully, what would you ask, and who would it be?

I'd ask like, anybody who knew the answer if heaven actually exists. Because I debate this with myself all the time and I just don't -know-.

Second question to anybody who would say yes and actually fulfil his or her answer: Would you please give me a billion dollars? n_n

What’s your favourite band or CD of all time?

Hm. At the moment, probably IOSYS.

If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?

Japan. So I could get everything shipped that I can't get shipped otherwise because some things only ship in country. And also so I could kidnap pretty boys.

Complete the statement “I recommend…” (it can be a show, movie, book, restaurant, website, activity, etc.):

...not starting memes when it's late at night because then you tend to ramble about rather nonsensical things.

If you knew could you try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what dream would you attempt?

Try to write a best-seller that I actually would like.

What super-power would you most like to have, and why?\

To read minds. No. To fly. To read minds? Boo, can't choose.

“2 Truths And a Lie” – Share 3 unique things about yourself and your life, 2 of them true, 1 false, and let your friends guess which one isn’t true.

1. I have an inexorable need to fiddle in any form with my fingers.

2. I can't get to sleep without reading some sort of material.

3. If I see something peeling, be it paint or skin, I have to peel it.

What is the meal and dessert you would choose as your very last?

Oh, I don't think it's the food that matters, but the people I'd eat it with. XD I'd like to have something that I could gorge on though.

Awin Unit

2008-08-13T10:37:00.002-04:00

This is the Awin unit, a prototype for its kind. It is currently not for sale, but once non-malfunctioning normal-class units are created the Awin unit (Normal Class) will be available for purchase at local fangirl retail stores near you.

Once you have an Awin in your possession, there are three very simple steps you must take.

1. Charge your Awin unit for the first time by leaving her near a laptop or personal computer with internet access.

2. Feed your Awin unit foods such as 'Pocky' or other forms of 'chocolate' so that she recognises you as somebody not harmful to her.

3. Give your Awin currency in an amount that she can use to buy a) food, b) fangirl material, and c) miscellaneous items.

Please do all three steps daily, though the second step can be left out if enough currency is given to the Awin unit.

To pre-order an Awin unit, please go to the homepage and request one. The official release date for Awin unit (Normal Class) has not been decided upon, for there are far more complications with the prototype than expected.

Thank you for reading this instruction manual. For more information on the Awin unit, please contact the company.

Hyotei 100 questions

01- Atobe- "Aa~n? Say your name before me, at least."
Isn't it always more polite to introduce yourself before asking for somebody else's name? But for the record, it's Awin. XD

02- Oshitari- "Oh~ That's your name? Nice meeting you."
Nice meeting you too, I suppose. >_>

03- Akutagawa-"Oshi~ you look really perverted. You should be careful of him!"
Oh, but his looking perverted isn't as bad as my being perverted XD

04- Mukahi- "100 questions seems tough for you..."
Yes, yes. If only I had a brain as great as yours~.

05- Ootori- "We are happy to meet you. It may seem strange, but good luck."
Though you are happy to meet me, I am hardly happy to meet you DX (Choutarou hate level up~!)

06- Kabaji- "Usu."
I don't speak Atobe-servant.

07- Hiyoshi- "...well, let us start the questions. Are you ready?"
No, no, of course I'm not. I'm just taking this survey for kicks, y'know?

08- Shishido- "Ready or not, we'll just start."
Lovely.

09- Atobe- "Geez. And, say what your birthday is. I can think of a present for you maybe."
December 1st. 8D I'd prefer you buying me a present over you thinking of a present for me~.

10- Ootori- "Then do you know my birthday?"
Who cares? (Well, I, for one, don't, at least XD)

11- Shishido- "Then what is your zodiac symbol? Oh, it's not like I have any interest or anything, ok?!"
Monkey~.

12- Oshitari- "Hey, how old are you going to be? If you don't want to say it out loud, you can tell me privately."
Not as old as most of the general cast of PoT characters look, excluding the desu boy and brat extraordinaire.

13- Hiyoshi- "What's your blood type?"
I ... actually don't know XD

14- Atobe- "There are some people out there who says my perfect hair style was ripped off Kikumaru but, you don't think so, right?"
Well, you all have the same hairstylist XD

15- Kabaji- "Do you like tall people?"
I don't like people taller than me unless I think they have a good enough reason to be. (Thus, my sister should have her legs chopped off at the knee.)

16- Mukahi- "So, is your name real? If it has any meaning behind it, can you tell me?"
Of course my name is real. I also own a fire-breathing pony. And yes, yes, it has meaning. XD But why would I tell you?

17- Akutagawa- "Oh~ Well, real name or fake name it doesn't change who you are~"
A rose by any other name. XD

18- Atobe- "Of course, I highly doubt you won't choose anyone besides me for this response, but who do you like in Hyotei?"
All except the person who asks the next question. Of course, I don't hate or like Hiyoshi, really, because I can never remember him~.

19- Ootori- "Do you have a website?"
No. Of course not.

20- Shishido- "Then, if it won't be a bother, will you put our questions on your site? Then you know...we seem more loved..." :blush :
See question 19.

21- Oshitari-"What's wrong, Shishido? You're blushing. By the way, do you have costumes you would like for us to wear?"
I need Jirou in English schoolboy. But that's really all that matters. The rest of you can be gaggling passers-by because you have no major part in my unwritten universe XD

22- Oshitari- "I see, I see. : looking satisfied : I personally would like to wear a doctor's coat. And you can be my patient. I'll do your personal checkup."
I am afraid of doctors. And needles. And don't like medicine. Doctor's coats disturb me, as do lab coats. Thus, I think I'll refuse that personal check-up you've suggested.

23- Hiyoshi- "Oshitari-senpai, I'll seriously punch you...Hey, do you have anything you like to eat?"
Good food. I'm such a pig XD

24- Hiyoshi- "Then would you like to drop by after this? I know a good restaurant."
If I don't have to pay >_>

25- Akutagawa- "Woah~...we can't keep Waka on the side...Then, next time I'll nap with you! Can I?"
I don't nap. xD Not ever.

26- Kabaji- "Usu!" ( translation- Probably a "no" )
What?

27- Atobe- "What? You understand Kabaji-language too? That's pretty good. Why don't you become Hyotei's manager? I'll welcome you here."
Who said I understood? DX And I don't want to go to Hyoutei XDDD Because a) it's full of rich pricks, b) Ohtori's here, and c) I don't speak fluent Japanese. XD (But b) is really the main reason. *nods*)

28- Atobe- "It's decided now. There're a lot of jobs, you know?" : grin :
I thought I refused >_> Ah, free will is nothing in the face of a rich diva.

29- Mukahi- "So, yea. Do you like other schools or something too?"
Yea is pronounced 'yay'. >_> Like, 'yea' or 'nay'. And Rikkai is way better than you 8D

30- Mukahi- "...no! If you mingle with them, I don't know what will happen to you...Don't go anywhere, ok?"
I'll probably end up too plebeian for your tastes, I'm sure~.

31- Ootori- "By the way, what kind of clothes do you usually wear? For instance, at home?"
What a perverted question. Not cool, off-white boy.

32- Ootori- "Hyotei's school uniform is nice, but I like women who wear simple stuff. Next time, may I visit your house?"
Why should I care what type of women you like? And you know, that's just a bit superficial~. No, you may not visit my house.

33- Kabaji- "Usu..."
Once again, don't understand Atobe-bot speak~.

34- Shishido- "So, how did you find out about Tenipuri? Can you tell me?"
...I forget. My memory is corrupted?

35- Oshitari- "Most people say that their first impression of us was pretty bad, but what did you think?"
...I don't remember when you first showed up. XD

36- Mukahi- "Don't tell me you cheered for other schools besides Hyotei at that time?"
Who cheers?

37- Hiyoshi- "Gekokujou (Supplanting one's superior). Shall we try that some time?"
Overthrowing? Or having a lame catchphrase? 'Cause those are two completely different things~.

38- Atobe- "You, what kind of flower do you like?"
Pretty, poisonous ones~.

39- Akutagawa- "You seem to ask similar questions, Atobe. During your birthday, she's (you're) going to spend time with me~"
Sure, I'd love to. Just get me a plane ticket to Japan and then a pill or two that will make you people seem 3D, and I'll be right there.

40- Akutagawa- "Oh! What do you think we will become in the future? Personally, I want to be your husband."
No. You're going to be married to Marui. >_>

41- Oshitari- "What are you saying, Jiro? My future will be her (your) personal doctor!"
Um, once again, doctors are so not cool.

42- Shishido- "Are you guys having fun saying stuff like that...Anyway, going back to what I was saying, what do you do on your website anyway?"
I answer surveys that are fake conversations with 2D characters XP

43- Hiyoshi- "Seems like there are stuff like Seme, Uke, and dream novels out there."
Indeed there are. Isn't that fantastic? (Though I really don't think seme and uke stuffs are that far off from where you are~.)

44- Hiyoshi- "I don't have anything against it, but if you like it I don't mind."
So what?

45- Ootori- "Are you getting a bit tired? I'm sorry. We're kind of excited having you join us."
Are you now. I can't say the same for me in relation to some of you n_n

46- Atobe- "Let's take a break. If you're tired, you should say so. Kabaji, bring tea."
Yes, yes, Atobe-bot, go!

47- Kabaji- "Usu."
Yay~.

48- Shishido- "Don't you think Atobe is really nice for some odd reason? It's so strange, it gives me the creeps..."
Yeah. Atobe is probably just on a high from having seen his boyfriend (who must be Echizen Ryoma).

49- Mukahi- "Here's a question! Right in front of you is English Tea, Green Tea, and juice."
And where is the question? Though I would choose green tea.

50- Akutagawa- "Ah! Gakkun, that's not fair! Me too!"
...Do you think I'm sharing? DX

51- Oshitari- "Hey, you guys are the most drunk right now...don't you think so?"
Drunk on tea - oh my Hermes what did you put into it?!

52- Atobe- "Besides, the only one who can say "drunk" in a sentence is me. Hey, get drunk at my beautiful skills."
...Wow, that's so wonderfully coherent >_>

53- Hiyoshi- "Weren't we supposed to let her (you) take a break? Sorry, but feel free to relax."
...Thank you?

54- All- "Phew"
Does that 'all' include me? 0_o

55- Ootori- "Well, did you relax? Can we continue with the questions?"
No, of course you can't.

56- Shishido- "Ok. Well, let's start. Do you have any favourite subjects in school?"
(I just said of course you can't-) English. XD

57- Atobe- "I'm good at English, German, French, and almost anything. Want me to whisper something by your ear?"
...Why? What a non sequitur >_>

58- Akutagawa- "Do you cook? I would be happy trying something you make~ Can you make me something next time?"
...Instant noodles sound good? XD

59- Hiyoshi- "What are your hobbies?"
Answering 100 question surveys in my spare time n_n

60- Shishido- "Then, do you have any special talents? Like Choutarou's scud serve, which is pretty good."
... Talents? DX

61- Mukahi- "What about something you just hate? I am rather weak on stuff that's bad for your heart."
Does this include people? Because you said 'something'.

62- Kabaji- "Is there a reason why you like Hyotei?"

Same as 59~.

All seasons but spring.

Yes.

66- Akutagawa- "Ohh~ Well, I cut a lot...I'm at the roof of the school usually so come over sometime!"
...I try not to make a habit of it.

67- Atobe- "Do you have any pets?"
Fish. A whole lot of fish.

68- Atobe- "I can make you my pet. There's no reason for you to reject."
Um, no.

69- Ootori- "Then which do you like better, dogs or cats? I'm usually treated like a dog so it's kind of tough."
Cats. I suppose that makes you a dog then?

70- Shishido- "Kind of hard to ask but, I'll ask. When was your first love?"
When I went outside to play on playgrounds. (And that was a lonnnnnng time ago XD)

71- Kabaji- "Then...you've dated before?"
Yes.

72- Hiyoshi- "From now on, please don't look at any males besides me?"
...I don't even know you DX

73- Mukahi- "Ah. I don't like girls who wear a lot of make up. You're fine like this so don't do anything, ok?!"
I don't wear make-up.

74- Oshitari- "Yeah yeah...You know, I wanted to ask this question the most~"
(And now I'm worried.)

75- Oshitari- "Here we go. Tell me your height, weight and 3 sizes~"
...I actually don't know XDDD

76- Mukahi- "Yuushi, you have an eyes of a pervert..."
...And the mind of one XD

77- Atobe- "You shouldn't tell your 3 sizes to that idiot. The beast will end up returning to the his true form."
True form? (Is it old man?)

78- Kabaji- "Usu."
Eh?

79- Ootori- "Let's leave these people aside, and let's have fun here." : smile :

I like him more than all of you. XD

I feel like my answers are not being heard DX

85- Hiyoshi- "Do you think there are other sports besides Tennis that might suit us?"

87- Mukahi- "What do you think Jiro dreams of when he's sleeping?"
Marui~.

88- Shishido- "Oh, I nearly forgot...it's almost time."
Oh no XD

89- Ootori- "...It's a pity but, we had a lot of fun."
Yes, yes, indeed.

90- Akutagawa- "It's a promise, we're going to nap together!"
...Didn't I say I don't nap? DX

91- Oshitari- "If you don't want to be my patient, I can have you in a nurse's outfit."
Do I have no choice?

92- Hiyoshi- "I would be happy if we can speak one to one some time. I would like to know about you more."
Not likewise~ n_n

93- Mukahi- "You know...Um, never mind. Come again anytime."
Mmm.

94- Kabaji- "Usu."
Pardon?

95- Atobe- "Aa~n? What do you want from me?"
Money.

96- Atobe- "...Sorry for making you stick around with us all the way here. Go home and sleep. Or you can't sleep alone?" : grin :
No, no I can't. I sleep better if I have money in the vicinity. The more money, the better~.

97- Atobe- "Uh huh, yeah yeah. Well, I'll see you...Ah? You're already the manager here."
Once again, nobody's listening to me!

98- Atobe- "I won't let you complain, got it?"
Nobody's listening!

I really have to get to sleep. XD

Vacation

2008-08-09T18:22:00.002-04:00

Yesterday (and up 'til three in the morning today XD) I had the friends over, and realised that I am very out of touch with the young folks. XD I was completely and utterly knowledge-lacking in the newer skipping rhymes department xDD I also skipped rope for the first time in years and ended up failing because I kept on hitting the ceiling with the skipping rope. DX

We sang karaoke and it was horrible because I ended up with the background/male/harmony parts and I couldn't find the notes XDDD But it was such fun. Me and my brother sung a duet! XD (And did relatively well, really. XD We got a standing ovation.) But now my voice is sore from half screaming too long XD

I'm running off on a trip tomorrow (and returning the day following) to Niagara~.

I always wonder why my thoughts are so disjointed, but I suppose that is just an idiosyncrasy.

I now have a video of me and my friend doing ninja rolls; he did one first (properly) and then I failed at ninja rolling and looked like a fool. Of course, there was much applause at my humiliation, what with my friends being friends of me and thus easily amused at such things. xD

And I bought House of the Scorpion today, one of my long-time favourite books~. It's such a wonderful story, really, and I want to get Bel Canto now because I saw it at Chapters (and I saw Lovely Bones as well, which I like a lot) but I didn't get Bel Canto because my mum was there and my mum is not totally supportive of my book-buying need.

But I do now have a five dollars off coupon (if I buy something over thirty-five dollars) at Chapters! So I'll have to go back later anyway~.

But the book I really want as of now, If on a winter's night a traveler, (and the title has single-l traveler and strange capitalisation because that is how it is) isn't even available for order DDDX At least, not in paperback. DX And hardcover is expensive. I'm deciding if I want to get it or not now (and I probably will when I rack up more money XD).

And now to dish-washing. DX

real snail mail

2008-08-06T12:15:00.001-04:00

Returned

2008-08-02T00:22:00.004-04:00

And here I am, back from the cottage. XD I posted up all my pictures on Photobucket, so you can go look at those if you want. XD (I am, of course, too lazy to link to all of them xD Because there are over 200.)

But yes, I am back. XD There are a few pictures of me scattered around on Photobucket, but not too many 'cause I prefer to be the person taking pictures. XD

The cottage was very very fun though. (And rather rather huger than I expected.) I was a bit disgusted at first by it, what with all the dead flies on the floor ('cause the flies were very dumb and kept on flying near the floor) but then my dad caught all the flying flies so it was better. XD

I went go-karting and like, scenic-cave hiking. xD And other things that I'm too lazy to type out. xD

But I figured I might as well post about it. (Boo, I blog too much now.)

My two cousins have better English now though, from being around us English speaking people. XD

The main reason I put up all my photos on Photobucket, however, is to send them to my brother and then laugh 'cause he couldn't go ('cause he had work). What a wonderful sister am I.

But yeah, there is my post. xD

A Going-Away Post

2008-07-28T12:50:00.003-04:00

I'm going to be gone Monday to Friday on a trip to a cottage (in the middle of nowhere XD) and thus shall not be posting *nods*. And I figured I might as well post something 'cause like, yeah. (And as per usual, I am wonderfully coherent.)

I'm going to have so much writing to catch up on when my cousins go back to HK *dies*

The cottage has seven rooms though, and it's very big and very awesome. We'll be going with two other families and there will be horseback riding and a beach! (I link those two with an 'and' because they totally relate.)

I don't know how people type all those amazingly long posts because I always end up off-topic and talking about weird things and only reach like, a quarter of the length xDD

I will be taking lots of pictures (and shall maybe post some up) 'cause my brother can't go 'cause he has to go to work. (And of course, I have to show off pictures to him and say things like 'Look, we had so much fun without you!' Because we are good siblings.)

I think that my relationship with my brother is very strange XD I mean, I see like, for example, the brother and younger sister of Family A that we are going with tomorrow, and they argue and they make up. Family A has brother and older sister as well, and they get along wonderfully. Family B, however, have a sparring pair of older sister and younger brother.

However, I have a brother who goes around saying things like 'Call me onii-sama' and 'Aren't you glad you can serve me?' and 'Writing Colin x Harry again?' and 'Haha, I can play this 18-A game and you can't.' (And then he does something that irritates the heck out of me and acts like he's Bill Gates reincarnated, though Bill Gates is not dead yet [right?])

And the list can continue, except I'm wondering how this relates at all to my title of 'a going-away post'. I can't help but digress all the time, it seems.

I fell off my bed twice today, and I have no idea how. I also then walked into the kitchen counter, which makes it now...the third day in a row. I seem to be on a roll. My cousin says it's 'cause I have a very floaty way of moving around. (Of course, she says this in Chinese because her English sucks.)

Now, to be abrupt,

Post end!

This makes me want to cry

2008-07-24T16:35:00.003-04:00

Your Hidden Talent

Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people.

You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together.

Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.

People crave your praise and complements.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

"People crave your praise and complements"?!! Don't people proofread their blogthings?!

This shall be bugging me for the rest of today. Complements, my foot. Who shall I go complement now? DX

What, are red and green complimentary colours now?

Hmph.

Step

2008-07-23T14:56:00.004-04:00

I love Kitou in Step (the otome game that I'm currently obsessed with because I couldn't download Butlers which had no seeds) because he's absolutely absolutely adorable. (For the record, Kitou is the guy my brother said looked cool XDDD)

So, so, after school in Step, he goes and just says 'Shiraishi(<
So then Mizuho replies, 'Eh...yes.'

And then he's like, 'Okay, bye, hurry up and go!'

And she's just like, 'What?' XD

And he just tells her to go away again until she actually does. And then he asks you out on a date XD

He's so awesomely socially inept, I love him XD

edit: And then he got out-confessed by some kids in the park XDDD

And with a slight digression (though not really slight), I had to go swimsuit shopping today. It sucked. I never want to do it again.

Miscellaneous

2008-07-22T23:19:00.002-04:00

Would any of you normally read the second part of a twoshot first? Or the spin-offs of something before reading the ficcy that the spin-offs are spin-offs of?

That said, I got to play with Bingo, the most wonderful golden retriever ever today. Then, I won at Mario Party 7 twice. I also got to eat French toast and one nugget which I stole off Cherry's brother Matthew.

Life is good.

With all the bad luck I've had recently, I'm hoping the good luck is only starting to tip the scales.

Why my brother is brilliant

2008-07-21T22:44:00.005-04:00

So, I was playing Step (my otome game), and then my brother strolled in. He looked at my screen, and the first thing he says is 'That guy's kind of cool'.

And the guy that's 'kind of cool' is the guy whose name is a pun for 'big dick' in Japanese. XDDD

My brother also fanboys over Lelouch.

He also asked me to give him names of some good otome games so he could play them to ameliorate his Japanese.

I swear, my brother rocks. XD

New Template

2008-07-20T20:45:00.004-04:00

I have a new template, because I was feeling quite like I was stuck in shades of gay. 8D (Which, of course, means shades of grey. Typos make for fun conversations.)

But anyway, yay, new template~!

I've been playing far too many otome games lately, but they're addictive and I can't stop. xD (Who to choose next? Guy whose name is a pun on big dick or childhood friend who tries to rape you? Oh, the choices, the choices!)
