*points up* I love that song so much that it makes me faint @_@
The new Apocalyptica album comes out in February. Cantwaitcantwait. Today I downloaded all the songs from it. Gods, I'm such an Apocalyptica fan~~ *worships*
I realised also one thing: I blog too much ._.

Sinch - 433 (hypothetical situation)
Just because I can:
*nosebleeds*
Ahhh~~~ Nothing better to start an entori^^
Something is wrong with me (gee, what a discovery--;). Not that I complain, but it's because I've probably had too many HP fics.
I. Am. Knitting. A. Slytherin. Scarf.
Yes, uhm... I've wanted to make one for quite some time now, but the final thing that made me do it was seeing one girl in my school WEARING A GRYFFINDOR SCARF! Grrr.
Actually, the only people with HP scarves I've seen were the Gryffindor-wearing ones. Damn. And so I've decided. It's also because of the fact that The Robe is a little more difficult to make and I've lost my enthusiasm a little^^;
So yeah, I started knitting. Fun. No, not fun. Makes me feel like a granny --;;. And I must say that my knitting skills match my HTML-without-my-sister's-help ones. Uhm, very haphazard and messy ^^;
And I'm going to wear it! Practically, this would be the only non-black thing on me XDD
I've hurt my hand opening the fridge. It doesn't hurt much but it looks like it's going to look awfully. Bruised or something. Baka me. And I just was in a hurry to get a yogurt after I'd got home ^^;;
Had an exam today. Ewww. Wonder if I pass XD'
I'm on a layout-making spree right now. Already have 4 new @_@. For some strange reason, most of the the pics I want to use are usually of very bad quality, pixelised or sth (is 'pixelised' even a word?) and I have to repair them. Such a mindless job... Actually I happen to like it :D

Sinch - The Arctic Ocean
Eh~ For some unknown to me reason it's a school-free day today. Yay. And so, I decided to spend my lovely morning trying to make some layouts. I have one really great prepared in my mind, but it would require more advanced html (--;;), so instead I concentrated my efforts on making something easy. Ohoho. The new layout is not ready yet, but it has two Minekura bishies and is a little scary XD'
The worst (or not) part for me is to find an image for a layout. That is because I have really *many* Saiyuuki/Minekura-sensei pics ><. About 5000 (I swear). Maybe a 1000 - 2000 of them are manga scans (but not scanlations ><) and screencaps. And the rest *sigh*...
Fortunately I have IrfanView, a fantastic file-browsing program. I don't know how I would manage to check them all without it.
Oh, and on another note I'd like to say that I'm a little angry right now. A little, of course^^;. At myself. It's like this:
I'm just a poor college student with an incredible inability to save money. No matter how hard I try, I always spend it on little, useless things and have big problems with saving money for bigger things. That is why I don't have *any* Saiyuuki merchandise (yet) ;_;. Furthermore, none of the job offers I come across I find interesting. OK, maybe not 'interesting' but at least 'decent'><;;
And in this state of my money situation I promised myself that I won't add anyting to my (very long) manga wishlist. And what? Yesterday I totally fell in love with artworks by Mamiya Oki, and it is obvious for me that I simply MUST have one of her manga! So pretty T-T. Oh, and of course I don't have a clue (yet) what her mangas are about, kekeke ^^; They're look yummy and very yaoish and that I find sufficient enough XDD
Spent a lot of time collecting misc scans and images from the net today. Ah, it's been a long time since I behaved like that (I mean the image-search) ^___^

Dir en Grey - Wake
I need a new layout. Soon. With some *color*. And these scrolling feather-thingies are driving me mad when I want to scroll them >.< I did change the speed but it seems that... well, it seems that it doesn't work_-_
Hmm, I 'm considering also putting comments on my bloggie. The question is, would people comment? It's not a popular blog *sulks*
-edit 08:10-
A very intelligent talk I've just had with my sister.
We're both sitting in a room, reading. Outside some noises like fireworks can be heard.
sis: (after a long moment) What are those?
me: Do you care? Maybe a war or something...
sis: It's a long one.

Blur - Song2
Dum di dum dum. Guess what I bought yesterday. A book to learn Norwegian. And a cassette, muahaha!
I am really serious about living in Norway. Soon. I'm planning to go there for some kind of vacation in September maybe. There is no turning back, I will honour this country with my presence. They're doomed >:)
Beh, but I know so little about the language yet. Only simple sentences like 'my name is' or 'I speak Norwegian'. I managed to master the pronounciation of 'hva heter du?' (what's your name) very, very good *is proud*. Hey, it was my very first lesson after all =P
Spending even a little time on it every day, I should get better any time soon. Hmm, now a quick preview of my languages:
-English - Well, I have several hours of classes of it every weekday, I read, write and think in English. And I still think that's not enough. How good am I only you, kind readers of my blog can tell^^;
-Russian - OK, I guess. Haven't been studying it at all for 6 months now, unfortunately *laaazy*. Sometimes I do a revision or try to read 'crime and punishment' in original version (I'm on page 50 because it's so boring--;;)
-Japanese - Right now I'm concentrating on learning words, and I'm quite good at it. Hah, but my grammar sucks. Fortunately, I'm a little better than the 'kore wa neko desu' stuff. I'm not even mentioning kanji ><; I need someone to teach me Japanese, but I'll think about it later. Now the only thing I do is translating various lyrics with a dictionary. I really *should* learn more.
-French - Oooh, I should learn more of this one too *nodnod*. Classes once a week. Here the situation is similar with the vocab/gram. I understand spoken or written French good but when it comes to *me* speaking... uh...
-German - Ha, I still haven't had a German lesson in my life^^; That, however, doesn't stop me from talking XDDD. I will start to learn it when I'm 25.
-Norwegian - Just started, whee!
I may also try a little bit of Latin (Latin kicks ass), but maybe when I'm older. And you'll see, I will manage with them all. I have my whole life to do it afer all (Althought I sometimes wish to die being still young, preferably protecting someone with my body. Yes, too much anime^^;)

System of a Down - Toxicity
As a sort of response to this article, I've already mentioned before, I present you all my *cough* precious fanart: Lucius & Snape in nazi uniforms XDD
Actually, I drew them before reading the artice ;P. I just think that all Death Eaters were wearing those. My silly imagination. Anyway, this was supposed to be just a little sketch before drawing them in a 'serious' way. Just geometrical figures at first. But I showed it to my sis, and she couldn't stop laughing and made me finish it.
I said earlier that I can't draw hair good. Well, I'm adding uniforms, boots and chairs to the list now. It's not even in manga style o_O;
The 'serious' version sucked BTW, so I won't show it >:)
Name(s) Meaning(s):
- 'Astarise' itself doesn't have any meaning. I just made it up one day and like it very, very much. Hovewer, after some thinking, I can look at it also as a verb, meaning 'to fill sth with stars' ^_^; BTW, it should be pronounced (as I would write it in katakana): 'asutaraisu', not 'asutarisu' as one of my friends thought...
- 'In Assiah' is simply a cooler way to spell another nickname - Inesaya.

From: Warsaw, Poland (somebody save me><)
Specie: An Astarise. It's a special kind of people, represented by only one, very rare creature (me)
Gender: Female
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Siblings: Imouto-chan
Pets: A guinea pig named Adolf (or Adourufu^^)
Talents: Umm, I've been told that I have a great memory, and a nice voice (for speaking not singing^^;). I'm not quite good at drawing (probably because I don't draw much and don't have practice) but I've been told that it's only *my* opinion. Humpf...
Hobbies: Internet, anime/manga, bishies, drooling, reading fics, sleeping, yaoi, reading dictionaries, learning languages, daydreaming, dreaming, making things on Photoshop.

Songs:
Well, after some thinking, I decided that from my very long list of songs which I like I'll choose only those very special to me. Those which I find above all others I also like very much:

Books: Right now it's Harry Potter *sweatdrops*
Fanfictions: Lodoss' 'Mihatenu Yume' by Firen-sama is my nambaa wan. In the Saiyuuki section there are too many too list ^__^. Almost every 53/35 is my fav. Saiyuuki = great fics (It's a actually section full of contrasts. Either there are fantastic fics or thoroughly bad ones). FY's 'Through the Northland Snows' by Singing Nightingale.

Dewel Jewel - Towa ni Yume o Kasanete
*looks at the previous entry* Right. Now that was interesting ._.;;
I watched HP undubbed version yesterday! Whee! Ok, you all must excuse me now, but I'm beginning to be obsessed with this all. OK, I'm not *beginning*. I already am><. I'm always very enthusiastic when it comes to a new serie that I like. You should see me when I discovered Saiyuuuki... On the second thought, you'd better not, I was very freaky that time^^;;
Anyway this time I behaved in the cinema. I tried, and it appeared that it is possible for me not to voice my 'kyya' s aloud. Lucius!!! Ok, the only thing I can say about his original voice is OISHII ^.^
Saa...
I'm drowning in fanfic heaven currently. After I got my printer fixed I've been printing about 50 pages of fics a day. And those 50 pages were concentrated astarise-style. It means *very* concentrated. You see, my printer requires to be constantly watched while working because it sometimes takes the paper in in the wrong way. And being a very impatient creature that I am, I obviously hate to sit and watch it (takes too much time). So, it does matter to me whether I print my amount of fics on 100 or 50 pages. So I use Word font size 7 or 6 (And I don't squint) and delete all the paragraphs.
So those 50 pages means about a hundred or so.
I LOVE FANFICS!! ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL!!
Joy of the world, they are. Such a perfect completion to the serie I like. I love all the fanfic authors. I love fics *_*
Ehehe~ sorry ^^;
What I mean, is that by liking HP I have gained access to a very vast fanfic fandom. Tonssssss of ficsss. And I'm reading them non-stop. In the bus, at home, even walking down the streets, obviously on the lectures (thought it's very hard for me to supress my laughter when a fic is funny. Meh, I'm used to receive strange looks anyway) with an oblivious look no my face.
Uhm, and most of what I read now is slash. Ok, so maybe no the most but all =P
Snape slash particularly. I don't know, I just like the idea of him being slashed. With Sirius or Remus most preferably. From what I've seen, Lucius is portrayed as a bastard and sadist, so I choose not to read fics with him (it would ruin my mental image). I know, I know, he's *evil* after all. And I like Sirius/Snape because it reminds me of Gojyo/Sanzou. The whole "'I hate you.' 'I hate you too.' *kisu*" thing somehow appeals to me ^^;;;

Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man
Ah~
I was feeling extremely creative yesterday. I needed to make, to create something. So I decided to work on a project that I've had in my mind for a long time. Not a layout, a fic, nor anything connected with computers. You may laugh, but I called it 'The Robe'.
< boring details>
Basically, 'The Robe' is a kind of black tunic with a high collar, and an asymmetric thingie in front (not a good description) that I've been envisioning. I want to wear such thing. And because I'm positive that I won't get it in any shop, I decided to make it myself. Yes, to sew it. I have a sewing machine so I think it'd be easy.
That idea was caused by some of my thoughts that the way I dress is too... average. Too average for me anyway. Because compared to other people, my style is quite original and prominent. I know that fashion & stuff isn't a popular thing to blog about, but it just so happens that I like it.
If there's a thing I hate, it's average. Like an average mentality. It applies to the look too. It doesn't mean that I'm controversive, no no. But I'm not quite happy buying things from shops, knowing that anyone can buy and wear the same thing as I. And I'm absolutely furious when I actually *see* sbd wearing the same thing as I do>_<
But to actually make The Robe, I needed first to do a 'sketch'. I'm going to buy the material tomorrow, but in order not to waste it, my 'sketch' was simply an old sheet. I could cut it anyway I wanted, and then take measures and apply them on the final material. To shape the sheet with pins and stuff, I needed somebody to wear it while I'd be modeling it. I didn't even ask my sister (she's a little thinner and she'd refuse anyway). So what did I do? Laugh again - I made a dummy. I called it 'Sonya2'. I took my own measurements, a t-shirt, tape and some clothes to fill the t-shirt. I shaped it with a tape, and voila, I have now an ideal copy of upper me^^;;;
It's a strange feeling, looking at the dummy after I dressed it in one of my shirts, and it looks just like me ><;. Anyway. With this ready, I spent the evening modeling the material. All I can say is that it's not as easy as I thought. But somehow I managed, it just needs some amends and I can proceed with the final material. It's going to be something like this, but shorter, consisting of three folds of material and with asymmetric, slanting ending.The 'black robes swishing behind'-look is my style and its perfection is what I strive. Go figure - Snape inspires --;
< /boring details>
Oh, and I was on coffee-high all yesterday, that could explain my enthusiasm.
OK, that's one thing. I have other plans on making various objets. It's fun! Really. And it gives satisfaction. Like my Sanzou-gloves XDDD
I want to write with a quill.
I really do. But I have my concept of it. The feather will be ending with a nib. Unfortunately, I have no feathers at home whatsoever. If it was summer, I'd go searching for a feather in some forest outside the city. But it's not ><. Hmm, have to do a research as to where to buy it from. Snape inspires #2.
I'm also planning on doing some Ashram-sama-like ornamants on some of my plain black things. That would be the most easy thing to do, I'd just use a gold ribbon of some sort.
OK, end of that. I'm very happy because yesterday was my phonetics exam and I got a B+ (meaning that I can speak oO;). I also had to give in my 'homework' - 3 cassettes with my voice recorded reading some ridiculous dialogues ("my sixth birthday's on Thursday" etc). 3 cassettes, each lasting 90 minutes @_@. I knew about it a month back, but of course, being me, I left it on the very last moment and spent the weekend lovely, recording. Yuck. I even bought a new, very small cassette-recorder to do it.
First I started to play with it and was recording my family talking, only to pretend I'd blackmail them later ^^;;; I wanted to catch my sister snoring, but she didn't ><
Today's referrers made me really laugh: "be careful of the bee" engrish, nesquick bunny pictures and automatical hair brush. XDD

hide - Scanner
And now, Astarise presents:
A completely Harry Potter Entry, aka, I can't believe I'm writing this ^_^; (drool warning)
1) the books
I finished reading all 4 a few weeks ago^^. Ah, well, I won't write much about it save for the fact that now I can't wait to read the fifth part. It surprised me that I became intersted in these series. Really. It is a serie for kids after all. The plot is anyway. Naive, cheesy and predictable. But it's not the plot that I like the most. Well, I'm assuming that those who read my blog know about my incurable fondness of drooling at bishies. Not an intelligent thing to be interested in, I know (fun though!). But it was a little obvious (for me) that I'd find a lot of things to drool at there. After all I *did* decide to read HP because of one fantastic Sirius fanart^^;
The reason:
(in the order of liking) Snape, Lucius, Sirius, Remus. Those four just ruuuule. Oh, and let's not forget Voldie (he's got a great Fuuma/Muraki-like villain potential, imho), Draco and Wood. For them it is worth to read everything^^;;;
I liked vol3 so much that I bought it in English (oh, the joy of original, untranslated names ><;). I'm going to complete all the rest with English versions. Yay^_^
A little thing about Sirius. For me he looks like taken out of some Kaori Yuki's manga. You know, he sits on the bed, being a little psycho, a hand nonchalantly placed in his tagled long black hair, laughing through his tears. Something like that. Go my imagination.
Snape just rules. My absolutely favourite character *nodnod*. Lucius/Snape is my fav pairing^^;
Unfortunately, I think the authoress has something against bishies. What's wrong with having them in a book? Snape is cool, very cool but he of course must have greasy hair and it of course must be reminded in ever scene he appears -_-. Sirius was described as a dirty skeleton. Lupin as a too old for his age. And the only true bish (Diggory) is.. well.. .he's dead. But I ingore that things^___^
Oopsie, now it looks like the only thing I care about are the looks which of course isn't true. Anyway.
2)the movie
-The second movie to be exact. When I went to see it with my sister, we both couldn't wait to see Lucius. And Snape. But I was feeling more anxious than her. Became a little OOC and overreacted. What I mean, is that I made a fool out of myself a little. Umm, and when Snape first appeared, I was very excited and I... I started clapping my hands and went 'woo'. Loud. I was so happy to see him^^; I didn't care about the audience because it consisted mainly of little, annoying brats who were talking between themselves all the time during the movie ><;.
-I couldn't also supress my 'kyaa!'s and overdramatic sighs when there was a(ny) scene with Lucius. The guy is great. I lack words to describe how great is he. And he had 4 different hairstyles in the movie (normal hair, tied with a ribbon, a little funny hat during the Quidditch match, and messy hair in the last scene.).
-Eh, I'm such a Lucius fannnn~~
-Eh, I'm such a Snape fannnn~~
-I haven't seen any screencaps of Lucius in a ponytail before the movie, and I was like 'omg, omg, kyaa, kyaa *siiigh*' and so =P
-I did another stupid thing also. Near the end of the movie I shouted out (very)loud 'Dobby, you idiot!' in one particular scene. What?! He is an idiot! To do such a thing! Baaaka! *shakes fist*
-Tom's hair were iiiiiviel >_<;
-Younger Snape definitely must have been a killer-bish.
-Draco has surprised me. He was less uncool than he was in the first part. Love the way he lifts his brows. And his looks full of disdain (aww, just like his daddy^^). The best thing about Lucius, Snape and Draco is their mimic and the way they gesticulate. It rocks.
-The main three weren't annoying. Ah hell, the've never been imho. It's just that there is too much of them. I know, I know, it's the main hero's rule...
-I don't like Hagrid. Never have, never will.
-The duel scene! Snape with his robes swishing!
Oh and the movie was of course dubbed, how nice of them *a very fake smile*. Bastards! Now I have two options. Either to find a cinema where they have the original version (could be even subbed, I don't care), or to try downloading it form somewhere. I guess I'll try both. I neeeed to hear original voices! Mmm, a Japanese dub would be nice... all those seiyuu voicing L/S (who have a tendency to speak very_slowly. That is of course except for when Snape is mad^^;).
3)misc
-Looking for fanarts can be shocking/cruel sometims. Like in this case. Yours truly has somehow forgotten that not all HP fanartists are familiar with manga style. Oh, the horror I've seen o_O
-I'll never understand the phenomenon of the popularity of Snape/Neville fics._.
-Relating to an interesting subject that Doc brought up, bashing those who write such nonsense, lookie what I found! Funny as hell^__^ They even connect HP with Hitler, lol. Poor people with problems. It must be really frustrating seeing satan's creations everywhere. Must they really take everything so seriously? It's not the mater of just taking it seriously. Those people take it waaay to seriously, thus completely misinterpreting things.
OK, that's it for now. Sorry for the mistakes I made here (because I feel that in this entry there are more of them than usually^^;).

I'm alive again!
My compy-chan is back! And everything is working fine. I spent a good part of yesterday evening burning tons of cds (ok, maybe not 'tons' but rather '6').

Malice Mizer - Gardenia (in my head._.)
My Compy-chan was taken away. I'm obsessing. I know it was for its own good - it was taken away only for a day or so to be fixed. I was tired of all the malfunctions and want everything to work right. It is probably going to be returned today -_-
I am addicted. It is bad. Right now I'm only capable of writing short and not complicated sentences. I am very addicted -_-;;
One of my new year resolutions should be to control/reduce my addiction. Easy to say--;
I'm in a cafe right now. I couldn't go there earlier because it was new year and all things were closed. I couldn't use any of my friends' computers because they've all been busy having hangovers. Getting _very_ drunk on new year's eve is stupidity imho. Unfortunately here most people think only about alcohol._.;
If I don't get my Compy-chan back today, I'm going to scream >_<
Went to school this morning only to find that today and tomorrow all classes are cancelled. And of course *I* was the only one who didn't know about it (ghaa!). So I went to the cafe. I feel so compyless ;_;
I saw Harry Potter CoS (omg, Lucius, kyaaa!!) yesterday. And it was a premiere. Yes, that's right, a month or so after the world premiere, it is here-_-; . Pathetic. That is one of the reasons why I want to live in Norway. It's a *civilised* country. And right now I'm happy that I'm not a big LotR fan^^; My sister on the other hand is and she is suffering (because she'll have to wait a month to see TTT).
I'm going to write some more about the movie, but not right now.
It's snowing/raining and my hair are all wet. I'm not in my best mood, so I should stop writing -_-

Dream Theater - Glass Prison
Mnnnn~ =_=....
I stayed up till 3am discussing yaoi things with my sister.
It was very fruitful.
-We thoroughly analysed the *coughCOUGHcough* 'friendship' *coughhhh* between Lucius and Snape and all its possibilities. Very interesting.
-Then we created many theories about the relationship of two seme [a looong rant would be needed to explain this but I'm too lazy so I'll just say that in such relationship there is no 'uke'. I mean, technically there is but it's not the normal uke. Ummm, there is a more-seme and less-seme ^_^. I don't have anything against seme-seme because I always like the seme more. Uke are usually annoying (*cough* and less droolsome^^).]
-And resulting from that, we developed a theory about the changeablity of the roles in a relationship. Well, we think that there is a point (usually somewhere around when one is starting to be grown-up) when it could be changed. It all depends on wheather a discussed object will or won't change his being seme or uke.
Whatever. It doesn't make much sense here, but I'm able to write tons of rants about that, defending our not-making-sense-much theories ^_^
Oh, and while I'm around that topic, I totally agree with Your Saiyuuki pairing exasperation. It is annoying to read a fic where Sanzou says 'I love you' -_-;; Well, aside from the fact that it is *Sanzou*, a fic ending with 'I love you too' is making me sick anyway.
I'll never be a Hakkai/Sanzou (or, oh-the-wrongness, a Sanzou/Hakkai) fan. I don't know, I just don't like that. I don't have a problem with tha pairing and I can totally accept it though. It doesn't make me sick (ghh, like Hakkai/Goku does). And I'm not even mentioning Sanzou/OC -_-
That's why I, when it comes to Saiyuuki slash, am a Gojyo/Sanzou fan! Muahaha~ Well, leaving out the obvious Gojyo/Hakkai and Kenren/Tenpou (my other two favourite pairings), 53 for me seems to be the most reasonable. If not reasonable than at least it's fun. At least that pairing won't have romance in it *shrugs*, and I can sleep peacefully not worrying about the 'I love you' parts-_-. And, all the 53 (or 35 which OOC as it may be, *is* fun too) fics that I've read are actually very, *very* good. Unfortunately, now with all this new flood of slashfics, a good old Gojyo/Sanzou seemes to be forgotten ;_; *waves an 'I support 53' flag*
Ohoho, a slashy entori ^^;
I watched X the movie on German tv on Saturday. It was my, what?, 5th time I watched it I think. Ahh, the joy of killing 16 people (plus innocent bystanders) in 90 minutes ^_^;; I love that movie^___^
But what made me mad. It. Was. Duuuubbed >:F
I hate dubbing, any kind of it. And especially hate when my Toshihiko-sama is dubbed T-T. Well, in X there is not only Toshihiko-sama that I love. Inoue Kazuhiko. Nakata Jouji. Furusawa Tohru! All were dubbed *cries*.
Ah well, at least the quality was great ^_^
And a little thing. I also watched (wow, I watched tv o_O;) a short program where was Matrix Reload mentioned. Uhh, okay aside from the Reload part (grr), there was something interesting. A short scene with a guy in a trench-coat that cast a spell of some kind and then black crows were flying from him. Hmmm, now isn't that familiar? Especially right after I watched X. And so, I found the black trench/white trench (as my sis calls this scene) part only to find *exactly* the same Seishirou shot. Hahaha, you western copy-cats *is not a Matrix fan*!

Dragon Ash - Face to face
A thought that haunts me this week:
Norway is so cool. I want to live there. No, seriously, I really do. Fantastic country...
*goes off to learn Norsk*
Did you know that 'uke' means 'week'? Now isn't that nice ^__^
My printer will be fixed today! Oh, the joy of those *tons* of fics that await me!
What annoys me in RL now, is that I haven't a faintest idea as to what my bloodgroup is. And it's such an important thing to Japanese >_<; Well,one could advise me to go to the doctor to have my blood taken to check that. Haha. But what one does not know is that I'm scared ><;. I had my blood taken only once, when I was 8. Ghhh, the very thought makes me sick. So I guess it's going to stay that way. Eh, my problems ^_^;
One more thing. Things like this should be forbidden. They won't stop me anyway XD

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Shutting from the sky
I watched Gundam Endless Waltz on tv yesterday. It's interesting how I can never follow the plot. I never know who is fighting who ^^;
There was no Treize >_<. Ah well, at least there was Zechs. I think that I'd really like Gundam if the main pilots were 10 years older...
I wasn't especially concentrating on the events there because I found one pile of old (1 year old) fics and decided to look through them and get rid of at least a half. Ah, what crap there was. Mostly Kenshin and Fushigi Yuugi ones. A lot of cheesy het romances *sweatdrops*. Fortunately I've never liked MSs, even when I didn't know what that name means. Anyway, I happily threw out about 80% of them. I have a lot more papers to check, but fortunately for my laziness, they're scattered all over my room and it would be difficult to group them.
And it made me think how much my memory is full of trash... When I find one page of some fic, I immediately know what it is about. Not that I pay them much attention. It's just that I involuntarily remember a lot of useless things. And unfortunately in this case I have a great memory and remember them all. I can even tell what I've been doing around the time I read one fic. Or even what music I liked then. Even when they're a year old >_<;
But I found some fics (mostly the early-Saiyuuki ones) that I'm going to read once more ^0^. How different were the Saiyuuki fics a year (or even half a year) ago. One thing to say - they were just a lot *better*. Ah, the times...
I also watched 5 episodes of Kaikan Phrase today. The plot is cheesy and *boring*, so is the music, but Astarise has just discovered the wonderfulness of Miki Shinichirou's voice as Yuki ^_____^
I mean, of course I heard him before, but every seiyuu has several versions of his voice. And the Yuki-version is just dreamy ^______^ (just like Katan's)
How nice -_-
Actually, that quiz made me think a little about myself. And finally I understand the way I act. It's very simple. My personality consists of 3 layers (uhh, that reminds me of Shrek --;)
-The third layer includes real emotions, even the negative ones such as angst or anger. Maybe stress too, that I don't know yet..
-The second layer, the cold indifference and composure, I acquiered 2,5 year ago after watching Lodoss (well, actually not 'Lodoss' but Ashram-sama ^^). Don't laugh, I realised that just now... That layer blocks all my negative emotions and keeps me happy. Makes me angst and stress-free on the surface.
-The first layer covers the second one with almost permanent genkiness, cheerfulness and being light-hearted. It's the RL-me and the blog-me.
And the best part is that I'm quite content with this all ^o^
Eh, on another note, Christams school-break is one of the best things man has ever invented. I can do absolutely nothing/sleep all day. Or do pleasant things such as reading/drawing^^
The bad thing is that here all shops are closed today and will be tomorrow -_-;

Plastic Tree - Monophobia (which is very Tool-ish, ne?)
Well of course I still love WHR (after only 13 episodes *cries*), but I forgot to mention that I hate Touko. For obvious reasons >:F
Though I haven't read any spoilers yet (well ok, but only for ep 14 ^.~) I have a feeling that she'll die soon. I know, Robin will kill her! Yeah, go Robin!!! Kill that bitch and take her place! Muahahaha~
-gotcarriedawaysorry-
Sankyuu everybody for the nice layout comments ^_^
I really should angst about my printer (but I'm brave and I don't... yet><). It appeares that it has some severe problems and some spare parts are needed o_O;. Maybe they'll fix it before new year... I really need my printer!!! I have so many fics to read! And I still refuse to read them from the screen. It's so uneconomical (<-I don't think a word like that exists, hoho)
If I don't get the printer back this year I'll start to angst ><

Duel Jewel - Etsu
Oh yeah, because I isn't really a popular serie (YET!!!), and it's hard to find a decent gallery, I decided to post some screencaps I made. Of course they're all of Amon (Look how fantastic he is! Worship him XD):
I might make more of them because I certainly want to watch WHR again *nod*. Isn't Amon just sweet *sparkly eyes*? Oh yes, yes, he is :3

Tool - Parabol/Parabola
Hoho, I've been neglecting my little bloggie lately, that I have^^;;;
It's not my fault! Ghaaa! It's all because I've been spending all my free time watching Witch Hunter Robin XDD *jumps up and down*. I also had to study for the Friday's logics test, which fortunately was cancelled. That's a very good thing, because I didn't study much - I was busy watching ;P
And of course I became obsessed with it :3
How could I not be? For one thing I watched it firstly because of Amon (kyaa *.*). And I wasn't dissapointed. I wuv Amon <3<3<3. He's so very cool. I can't help it - I love those cold, introverted bishies so much^_^. Every time he appeared I was squealing. I daresay that he resembles a modern world version of Ashram-sama (only a bit weaker). And his black hair and clothes, mmmmm~. I'm also in love with his car, the wonderful BAK-540. I don't know what model or kind of car is it though... I want one for myself ^o^
OK, Amon is one thing, but what surprised me was Robin. Strange, really strange but... I liked her. And me liking a female character is very odd/rare. Robin rules! I want to dress like her XDD! Lalala, she's my role-model :3 She's like me in so many ways. And she wears black!! (well most of people there do, and that makes me love the series even more)
And the worst is yet to be told...
Well, I watched five episodes yesterday and um.. was very influenced (and freaky) the whole day, so... I did a little cosplay ^^;;;; It wasn't hard to cosplay Robin. Well, maybe the hairstyle was. I only lacked the vest/apron thingie she wears. And my mom took some photos of me^^;; Maybe I'll post them someday... It was fun ^____^
And the bad thing for me is that I only have 13 episodes (out of 26) >_<. And the 13th of course must end with an iiiviel cliffhanger *sob*. I'll get more soon maybe... There wasn't even an Amon story-time ><; And I just know he has a good one. He angsts so sweetly.
I finished watching today and there an emptyness in my heart. I want moooorreee! It's so addicting! Amon!
Well, I have to catch up on reading some blogs now, because I practically haven't been online for some time --;

Duel Jewel - Eien ni yume o kasanete
Is being fangirlish wrong? Well, I ask myself that question because I'm feeling like that waaay to often. And you know what? I think it's not wrong.
According to one of my brilliant life-philosophies, the way to be truly happy is to find as many little things that make me happy as possible. Things I like. When I'm surrounded by them (not only meterialistic things) I feel happy. When there are a lot of things that I don't like I'm not. So, I think it's best to reduce the number of things-I-don't-like (uh, easy to say).
Anyway, I like to feel fangirlish. Ende. It's nice to drool. It's nice to find objects to drool at. One little Muraki video and I have fangirl power for the rest of the day ^__^
What I really mean, is that I've just received a package containing a_lot of cds with anime! Because I have too little discspace I can't download anime (pathetic, I know). I probably won't blog for a while because there really is a_lot of anime. 5 and 6 episode of Honoo no Mirage! Kyaa! And what irony - Kotarou appears in ep 7 *cries*. And I have Gohatto! Okita screencaps! Okita wallpapers made from those screencaps! And maybe a layout *.*. Witch hunter Robin :3 And more!
*drowns in anime heaven*
-edit-
I've just found out that my sister somehow changed my blog into hers (she has a pita too. I probably just didn't log out) It's all fixed now, sorry if anyone saw the wrong version.
*mutters and goes off to kill her sister*

Duel Jewel - Kizuna ~pray to gray~
Lookie! I finally made a chibi-evergreen-haido adoptee! Eeee, he's so cute *^_^*
I already have two adoptees made by me, maybe I should start a special site for them *yeahright*.
I had a school-free day today. I woke up thinking "hmm, it's still early, if I get up now, I'd make it for the evil philosophy lecture...
...right...
*If* I get up"
And so I went back to sleep, haha >:P
Unfortunately I had many things to do and didn't sleep long. Eh, life..

Duel Jewel - Red beast o korose
Ghh~ I'm feeling fangirlish. Again. I feel fangirlish too often. It's bad for my blog. Right now I'd like to say nothing else but 'kyaa' which is a very intelligent statement --;
It's all because I watched a fantastic Muraki video. Honestly it was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Murakii~~
I decided to watch YnM anime again ^_________^
I will add Yami to my fav manga/anime (und bishies) only after I complete all the manga, which I think will be soon (but in reality it will be next year). GYYAAAH, I WANT THE MANGA SO BADLY!
Duel Jewel rules!
Uh, and I don't know if anyone noticed (yet) but I'm trying to cut down on emoticons. On my former blog versions I've been decidedly overusing them thus sounding even more childish than I really am. It's hard ><;

Malice Mizer - Baroque (my sweet corpse... ^^;)
A short note: The fact that I used a Konzen and Goku pic here does not mean I support that pairing. Because IMHO there is *no* such pairing. They're just cute. I still can't understand how people can write KonzenxGoku slash. Gaiden Goku is... I don't know, 4? 5? Something like that. So pairing them together would be just beyond shota ><;
OK, so I'm not a yaoi *fangirl* and have problems with some pairings. Bear with me =P

Vast - Pretty when you cry
Yay, another layout of doom! Uh, and as usual with a cheesy name ^^;
This one is something new though. Those feathers on the top and bottom of the layout are for... well, they're for scrolling. I'm not sure if this will be better than another scrollbar so I may change it...
And again the coding is by my sis, but this time I remembered it all and I think I'll be able to do another layout by myself^^;;;;;. I have pop-ups! Sorry if the 'about me' is too long - I had fun writing it. BTW, the font I used for them I used only because of the name. How could somebody as Ashram-sama obsessed as me not use a font named 'Black Knight' ^_^
I had the layout ready on Friday and was going to change it yesterday but I was disconnected T-T half of the day. And when it was ok, I had to go out. Grrr.
I wasn't blogging for a few days because... well I was reading Harry Potter^^; And finished today at 4am. I'm going to write a HP-centric entry tomorrow because I'm very =_= now...
Lucius & Snape in nazi uniforms XDD
