It looks like I'm blogging every two days lately^^; Rajrbgowaiioeg fgh hgi. Or, in other words, Kami-kun *finally* has Internet. Ahh~ *melts from joy-overdose*. Now this is what I call perfect. And I have Photoshop~ And PSP7~
Ok, brief social first.
Uwaaaah, pretty ja nai~ ^/////^. Sankyuu^^. Now my ego is so big that it's just flown out of the window^^; And I didn't think You were boring, but just the opposite ^_^. Nice layout, btw, though I don't know that manga^^;
Yay, mid-May! Count me in^^~
Oh btw, have you both heard the rumor about Aicon, the yaoi convention in Warsaw in October? It is supposed to be a sequel of the one I've been on lately. Yay, at last I won't have to pay for trains to get to a con~
Nadia blog is back, yay *waves with both hands* ^__^
Ne, Sanzou-sama, as much as I wuv you, maybe it's time you gave up the layout place for another bishie? You'll be back, I promise.
Eh, I must change the layout because I have *27* new ones just waiting to be html-ized and used XD'
Also, I finished watching my 13 episodes of Getbackers ('tis all I have now *rushes to install Bit Torrent and so on~*). And watched them all over again. And some episodes even three/four times, ahaha. I really, really love Akabane <3 <3 <3. And his voice/the way he speaks. He says the most beautiful 'Ginji-kun's out there *faints*. My new idol *_* (he reminds me of Saitou Hajime a little. Only a little^^)
I couldn't watch eps 6-13 earlier because they needed the codec which I installed on Sunday and after that I was too busy so I finally watched it all on Kami-kun *sigh*. And he doesn't need that codec -_-;
SD Ginji is one of the cutest things I've seen (imo, he looks like a caterpillar). SD Ban-chan is cute too (he looks like a kitty^^). Wai~
I love the way Ginji is scared of Akabane^^. Soso cute.
I don't know, but watching the serie makes me feel so WAFFy. It's all so well animated and I love the chara design. And the coolness <-that goes especially to Ban-chan. I mean, it's like when you look at him and think he's cool, and he suddenly does something which is even more cool. And so on. So after watching it all, I felt @_@ and the only sound I was capable of making, was 'myuuuuu' (<- I do it when I'm on a bishie-overdose). That, plus the squeals I made every time Akabane appeared, drove my family a little crazy, kekeke^^;
Yesterday I attempted to perform a Snake Bite on an empty cola can, by tryng to crush it vertically with one hand. Failed miserably. Managed it with two hands and now my palms hurt a little (<-I often get stupid ideas like that). Eh, yowai onna da T-T
I'm also rewatching Fruits Basket *^^*. I'm on episode 9, which is my favourite, I guess. And all their house-cleaning inspired me to be nice/helpful and I decided to clean the windows (I actually like to do it ^^;). And just when I was in the middle of cleaning, it started to rain T-T; Had to do it all over again as the rain made smudges T-T
You know, now in my dreams there is a motive that repeats itself almost every night (I've never had a thing like that). I dream about finding another feather to use for my quill o_O; Strange. I don't need another as the one I have now is OK. But the new ones are even more perfect. Doesn't matter what the dream is about, finding a feather always is there. Hm hm hm. Strange, I tell you.
Waah, I have so many things to say (actually, I don't, but I feel like writing) but now I'm off to download some brushes for PSP because I don't have any yet @_@.

OK. I'm in love. Loooove *shoujo bubbles*~
... With my new computer of course XDDD
Alrighty (computer-centered entry - beware). Shi-a-wa-se! *says it like Tsuzuki* Ah~It's so perfect! Henceforth I will call it 'he' as I named him Kami-sama XD Because:
-When I first saw him, the first words I uttered were '...oh, Kami-sama!' *_*
-From a Saiyuuki point of view the name matches Homura-kun, my cellphone^^
-Hell, 'Kami-sama' is just perfect for him *_*
But I'm not going to call him like that all the time (<-it could spoil his ego), but rather 'Kami-kun' ^_________^
And he's black *_* Well, *cough* only the front is black~ (nonetheless he's pretty^^). He reminds me of Hatsuharu. Hell, if Hatsuharu was a computer he would look like that, I'm sure. I've even started to have doubts about naming him like that, but I decided that I'll give the name 'Hatsuharu' to drive C (<-there's only one drive ;_; I'm used to having three~) And Kami-kun is big! Compared to him, my old Compy-chan definitely deserves the 'chan'. Ah, I'm so happy^^. I won't exaggerate it if I say that I now have exactly 22 times more memory than previously. 22 *dies*. Well, my Compy-chan is very old~ Actually he's something around 7 years old but the pieces (processors etc) inside of him were changed many times. Ah, Compy-chan even remembers the horrors of windows 3.11^^;;
Unfortunately Kami-kun is Internet-less (and I'm blogging from school - eep, I shouldn't, we have classes now @_@~) at the moment because he needs some number/group/technical blahblah to make the connection work. Will get the number today and it will all wooork. Also, there were problems with installing Photoshop so I'll have to wait until I get a new copy of it. And I'm suffering. I'm Photoshop-addicted T-T
But! Kami-kun is said to have a perfect/newest graphic card thingie (something like that) and the anime played on him are just of ideal quality @_@ I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL, I WILL WATCH EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ANIME I HAVE ALL OVER AGAIN, agh~ (joudan, joudan. It would take over a month non-stop to watch it all. Thank God for the Easter brake >D)
And I will have Paint Shop Pro too~ After that (AND buying new speakers) I would say that I honestly don't expect anything more from a PC.
Unfotrunately I can't hug him as much as I'd want to because the thing is very pointy (ow, my ribs x_X)
Ah, the happiness. Will blog more today, AFTER Kami-kun will be connected. Um, *probably* will. Or I'm going to just rot in front of the screen and watch anime XD'

"Don't cry. The world will be over if you cry. Because then I'll know there really is something to cry about."
A lovely quote taken from this lovely fic. I happen to like it very much.
Gee, I never seem to pay attention to quotes and mottos of other people o_O; If I was asked to give some quotes that I like, I doubt I'd come up with any. I like to make them myself~
Saw DNAngel anime (ep2). My first touch with the serie, caused by not having/never reading the manga (and saying 'no' to scanlations><;). What a strong dose of shoujo o_o. So.. very... shoujo... And those Riku/Risa girls looked like Miaka in some closeups (that's scary).
I liked Daaku. Mmm. Voiced by Okiyayu Ryoutarou. Mmmmmmm. Love his voice *_* Love the way he said 'yo!' (actually I love everything he says ^^;)
But, as I said, I've never read the manga so the anime left me very, ah, confused. Maybe later episodes will make it more clear for me^^;
Met Mada today! Yay! And I thought bloggers are in fact some nonexistent entities~ ( I get this 'Matrix/Truman Show'-like feeling sometimes. That the world is not as it seems and it was created only for *my* purpose or that what I call the world includes *only* the things I've seen and places I've been to and what I haven't seen doesn't exist or-- *gets confused* @_@~) OK, so I didn't think it is like that but it was a cool sentence to say ^_^;;
*blasts Illuminati at full volume* Aaah~~

Oh, how nice, I slept till 5pm today~ Had to finally make it up for all the conventions-caused sleep deficiency ^_^;
I had so many dreams! In one I was in Tokyo (yay!) and instead of immediately going on a manga spending spree, I was riding a big rollercoaster. I realised that I *should* go shopping (I had little time?) only when the coaster was riding upside-down and I wanted to free myself from the safety belts holding me @_@~
But I saw Rainbow Bridge *_* And was wondering why it is still in one piece XDD'
And some very nice news for me: I'm getting a new computer on Monday/Tuesday! Yatta! At last a compy which will work fine. With a lot of memory *_* Won't have to burn back-up cds anymore *_*
Kind of ironic as today I've succeded in downloading *and* installing a specific codec needed for watching some avi files. Yes, don't laugh, for me it was a success o_O;
With the new compy I'll have to do it again but that won't be a problem. Yay, I'm so happy!
Thank You muchly for the linkie ^_^ Wai~
On another note - I don't recall ever writing here how much I love reading *Gaiden* fics. All Gaiden fics seem to differ from the Saiyuuki ones in their... seriouness. I don't know, on the average they're just much more intelligent and pleasantly confusing. Many times I have to read such fic twice to understand it better. And they have KenrenxTenpou. And Goujun. Aahh~
After I woke up, I proceeded to write a big email-rant explaining why I like yaoi (I was asked to). I mean, it's obvious for me that I do like it, but writing this made me realise the reasons why. Interesting. Maybe I'll translate and present it here someday^^

Rainy day! I love rainy days! I also love snowy days, windy days, sunny, cloudy and whatever else days! Optimist desu ^_^
But I almost lost the Gackt sticker on my bag as it got all wet (note to self: artificial leather is not the best material to, ah, stick stickers on) ^^;
I wasn't late for today's classes o_O; (and it was a coincidence) It's strange because it's the first time since ohoho and even longer. I guess I just am subconsciously programmed to always be late--; Believe me, no matter how much time I have to the time I should leave the house, I always leave everything on the last moment and then run around in circles panicking because, for example, I can't find an important paper or the thing I wanted to wear-_-. I've even cut down on using the Compy-chan before school (<-that was the main reason of being late, keke^^;) but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes the way my mind works amazes me, really. The 'leaving everything on the last moment' is not only about being late - it applies to most fields of my life (like, ahem, studying).
Ang I guess I just can't help it - I'm incorrigible muaha XD
Lublin? I've never even been there XDD The reason I don't have a 'Warsaw' here on the left is simple: the table is too thin and it wouldn't look nice^_^; I've sent You the email, sorry for its lateness *points to the self-rant above as an excuse* ahaha~
I capitalise the 'you' and 'your' deliberately, knowing it's a mistake but I just can't help it^^;; Things I respect I capitalise. And naturally I respect all people I social blog to (or, note the 'Coffee-sama' ._.' Tiaa^^;)
My sister cut her hair. Nothing worth mentioning here if it wasn't for the fact that she now looks like Gackt (the post MM normal Gackt). It's so weird o_O; And she wasn't aware of it until I told her. Then I put some makeup on her (the blue-gray eyeshadw that I've seen Gackt wearing), haha. Funny, I've never makeuped enyone before (so it's a good thing that I didn't poke her eyes out with the mascara XD).

T_T Connection problems occured today. And yesterday (come to think about it, there haven't been any problems with it for a long time, so it's a good thing, in a way...) When my Compy-chan is Netless, I feel like a part of me went away, or is unconscious and I can't do anything about it. It's strange, with this blog and all, I have feel like having another life. And when I don't have access to it, I feel empty.
I other words, I am badly addicted (as I have stated many times, I know) >_<;;
Bought X 17 today! Yay! Now I have the whole serie completed. All 18 volumes of it are miiiine *hugs*. Now wouldn't it be nice if 19 was out too AND it wasn't the last one? I don't want X to end yet ><;
And now, I am officially broke. Fortunately I don't have any debts, but now I have exactly *no* money whatsoever. A strange feeling it is. Must think seriously about getting a job because my pocket money are killing me (And make me feel like such a teenager. Wait, I still am a teenager, yuck. Yuck until December that is, haha~)

No furhter comments are needed, I have been seriously bitten by a GetBackers bug. I'm dead x_X. I mean, dying for more and so on *scratches walls*.
In the mean time, thanks to Sf's link *bows*, I saw the infamous first episode of dubbed Saiyuuki. And right now my fingers are itching me to write several long paragraphs about how I generally don't like dubs, how I had an impression of watching Ranma, how idiotic it is to dub *Hakuryuu*, how evil, imo, they are and what they've done to Sanzou's voice (and I would cry here). I would, but there is too much unintelligent crap on my blog already *coughlastentrycough*. They had a very, ah, creative translation. For exaple I didn't know that Hakkai's 'abunai' actually meant 'holy shit' ^_-. And the name 'Gojyo' was said (by Sanzou) in a very French way. Like 'deja vu'. Ghaha. Ah well. I don't really care about what they do to it because I'm going to stick as far away from it as possible. I love listening to the Japanese language too much (thus I avoid dubs).
^_^ I do want more Yami no Matsuei manga. Believe me, I really, really do. With all my heart, with all my soul, it is the most important thing that I now desire. For I find Yami no Matsuei perfect. It has absolutely all things I expect from a manga to have. And Watari is my idol.
And, after some thinking, I decided that I'd go crazy waiting so long to buy it all in German. I already *am* crazy. As soon as possible (uh, after my financial situation will be decent) I'll do something about it. @_@
Great, not only I want YnM so badly now, I also want GetBackers (Thanks to Your wonderful scans^^) and more Furuba. Aghu *scratches some more walls*
I miss Nadia blog ;_;
Yes, I heard about Ai no Kusabi. In fact, I've been planning to order it, but I forgot about it completely x_X. Thanks for reminding me^^. I will see Eureka too (Uh, someday. The 'over 3 hours' of the film scare me a bit) because I live like 100 meters from the only cinema it is aired in ^_~
I also watched 26th episode of Witch Hunter Robin today. X-X. How could they? How could they end it like that? It had an absolutely nasty ending. And what about my Amon-sama? Where is he?? Ghhh. There's going to be a second season, right? Uh... Please?
On a happier and more insignificant note, I am now eating a yummy caramel pudding, muaha. Envy me, all of you who aren't eating one at the moment, for it is de-li-cioussss! Unfortunately, *looks at it closer* I'm going to finish it soon T_T

*sigh* OK, that's about enough conventing (er, conventioning?) for at least half a year for me XD' It was fun (though the journey was tiring) but I'm terribly dissapointed about the things that were sold there -_-; I was prepared to buybuybuy and even borrowed a lot of money but it seems like it was in vain. Well, not exactly^^;
I bought Angel Sanctuary vol 10 (ooh, Uriel is there *_*. And Kira *_*. And Katou *_*) and Fruits Basket, volumes 6 and 10 (talk about continuity--;).
I love, love, love Furuba *_*!! Shigure! Ayame! Hatsuharu (in sunglasses*.*)! Kyou! Yuki! Hatori! Aaaagh! <3 <3 <3
When one is feeling sad/depressed, one should have a little contact with it and a WAFFy mood is guaranteed ^____^
And from the manga part it would be all *gaah*. So I'm not happy about it ><;;
I also bought a Touya Akira keyholder, waii. And yes, I wanted Sai. I would scream for a Sai one. But noo, there wasn't ;_;
And a very *cough* useful thing - Gackt stickers! Haha, I guess I bought them just because they were there ^_^. I love Gackt for his voice, not for his looks (though no complaints here, nonono). I have 20 of them and don't know where to stick them yet >.<; I got one on my glasses case. Maybe one will go on my bag, hmm (me and my problems).
I was really prepared to buy more things T-T. Stupid convention. Aha, but! But, but, but, butbutbut!!! (drool/immaturity ahead)
Finally saw GetBackers. Oh. OH. I can only say that I now deeply understand everybody who is crazy about it *nods solemnly*. Am immensly happy about watching it @_@. Really. Moo haa!
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaakabane!!!!!!!!! @_________@ I love him! Love, love Akabane *_* The guy is so great *_* So cool and evil *_* And the fanservice!
(Akabane: Oh? My hand is on fire. Taking the coat off and parading around shirtless should do something about it.
Astarise: Gaaah~ *swoons* )
His voice reminded me strongly of Ishida Akira. The sloooowly talking Ishida Akira. Like from one of the Saiyuuki doramas where Hakkai was telling a scary story. Kya~
And Ban-chan *_*. Agh! Ban-chan, Ban-chan, Ban-chan, Ban-chan *chants*. I love his eyes. The look *_* Makes me feel like I'm about to faint @_@~
And it's all so funny! And, in my opinion, is kinda Saiyuuki-ish. The exaggerated coolness of the main heroes, I mean (it's a little cheesy, but I like it). Ah~ . Sorry, I'm not capable of doing a better/decent review now because I'm in my kyaa-mood now^^. 'Fear an Astarise in a kyaa-mood', is a good advice.
Ahem, anyway. I saw only 5 episodes but I have more on a cd :3
I also saw some Wolf's Rain *_* And also have more eps (up to 8) to watch. Liked it very much. It has a very unique climate. I must watch it from the start again though - I couldn't focus my attention on the plot there because I was being perpetually disturbed --;; [because, (it's kind of strange) most guys I meet, think that the way I get mad/frustrated when teased is very cute (me: -_-) and like to tease and annoy me (not in a nasty way though). Ha ha, very funny ._.]. So I'm kind of confused. And being me, I laughed when there (I don't know his name yet) appeared a guy who looked so viskey-ish. Ahaha^^ I mean the mask, the coat, the hair and all, he looked like from Malice Mizer or something like that^^;;
I'm very happy about those two anime as I've planned to watch them for quite some time. Wai^^. And generally that would be all, there wasn't more interesting things there. Well, maybe except Gundam Seed (with Toshihiko-sama, mwaaaha) .I didn't take part in any competitions and panels actively because 1) I'm kind of shy 2) I prefer to stand aside and watch other people^^
Now, I'd like to complain a bit about the 'fans' there. These people simply cannot pronounce titles/names good. When it comes to things like that, I am, in a way, a perfectionist and can't tolerate it when people say things wrong. I mean, I actually chocked on my CherryCoke when I heard them saying the word 'Trigun' (pronunciation in romaji) as 'torigun' instead of 'toraigan' *dies*. And many more things like that. Ow, my ears. Scary. Anyway, nice people but they are very different from me. At least I met a friend thare whom I've been emailing with for a long time and who is one of few people who perceives things similarly to me^^
You know what is the worst part? All those (scarce) things I bought there cost me less than I paid for the train tickets both ways -_-;; Am a little broke now, not so much like I've predicted to be. Oh yay--;
As I mentioned, I went there all by myself. And I've disocovered that I really enjoy the feeling of depending only on myself. I mean like being so far away in a city completely strange for me (uh, for me it was not a 'city' but a 'middle of nowhere' rather. A station and a few shops. Ch'), only with my backpack and some money, thinking about the best way how to change trains properly to get home, then waiting for them in some random bar and watching the people who live there. It is fun for me^^ (*cough* I used to be a girl scout -_-)
Now, translating the kanji from Fruits Basket awaits me. There are available translations for Angel Sanctuary so yay. I only finished translating Loveholic on Friday (Actually it was quite hard to translate. It was far from being a PWP and had complicated dialogues.) and now I have Furuba. I'm not so bad (uh, sure-_-) at reading manga in Japanese and I have a great kanji dictionary. X is very easy to read. There may be all those seemingly sophisticated words, but they are repeated very often. Ahh.
Would blog more but now I'm off to watch more GetBackers. Kyaa!!!

Saa. After one lecture today I decided that my presence there is expendable as the rest of the classes are not really important ones (I skipped them in other words). Besides, the weather that is now makes me kind of sleepy. It looks like it's gonna rain but it doesn't (a shame as I love rain).
*waves to Mada* Waii, You're a vegetarian like me! *links* ^_^
I'm not particularly fond of MangaMix (an euphemism) but Paradise Kiss was great. Actually it was the only thing there that I liked (picky me^^;) and I have all volumes of MM. Everytime I bought it, it left me very distasted (come on, love hina? vg ai? I hate things like that--; Ecchi for 11yr old boys--;;;), but it's only my own personal impression~
The con I was at was called Yukicon, btw^^
Hmm, there was something I wanted to write about that was the main point of this entry... Anou... Oh, I got it! I was about to write about Harry Potter!
Haha, it's been a long time since I wrote anything about it. And that's probably because my obsession has faded, yay! I was actually a little ashamed that I've been so crazy about it^^;; I don't read any fics now o.o; And I used to read 50 pages of them daily~ HP fics are good. Most of them, that is. OK, let's make it most of the ones I've read were good, lala^^;;
I feel that my interest in HP will come back and very seriously, when I buy the fifth part. Ooo, kowai. And then it will return after I watch the third movie (Sirius! Snape! Remus! *dies*). And it will be in winter so I could wear my Slytherin scarf again, yay. Uhm, but the thruth is that it were only the fanfics that kept me interested in HP, AND I guess I've explored all decent fanfic archives and there's not much left for me. Except ff.net, of course, but I doubt whether I'll do something about it. Too much marysueism *shrugs*

Can someone help me? There is a video (I saw it on the con) from LotR (firts part) to You Wanted More by A-ha. I searched and searched but I just couldn't find it. It's about Aragorn and Boromir. And it rules. The one who created it is a genius. It consists basically of the shots of them and it's mixed in a way that you get the impression of a great slash. The looks they are sending each other there!
I can't really describe it (I lack words for such a great video *_*), but I recommend it to everybody. Now where I could get my copy from, hmm. I don't have WinMX because my Compy-chan refuses to install it *big sweatdrop*, and I couldn't find it on Google. Hmm hm hm. I really need to have it^^;

Anyway -.-
"Astarise-chan"? OMG, that's so sweet , thank You ^__^ Nobody's ever called me like that, wai~ I love Your layout too. That picture of the Sanzou-ikkou smoking was always one of my favourites. Especially Hakkai. Smoking Hakkai *_*
And thank You too^^.
No, I won't be on Yuricon unfortunately (Xtv... I wouldn't mind seeing it for the what? third time maybe. Suwabe Junichi *_* And Subaru's seiyuu too (forgot his name), mmm. Me? Seiyuu obsessed? Of course not ^_~) because... I will be on another convention this weekend -.- Makon in Opole. Yes, two weekends in a row I'll spend on conventions, haha. But I really want to go there *_* It's going to be big (my mind: big = lotsa people = lotsa things to buy = very good) and the best part (for me) is that I'm meeting a friend there! One of few peple who I really like so yayayayayay!
Actually, thinking realistically, I shouldn't be so happy because I'm totally broke after the last con^^;;; I'll have to borrow money (kind of sad--;;)
Naah, money is a little detail that I won't worry about (<- It should be like that)
That song *points up* is extremely OOC for me but I really like it. So optimistic^^;;
Zutto zutto... *dances away*

Nya, just a short thing about Yami no Matsuei and why I've added it to my favourites here on the left.
Well, I said that I won't add it until i collect all the manga. Because the anime, perfect as it is, is too short and the characters are definitely more developed in the manga. So I thought that not knowing the manga much (2 vols) my knowledge about it is too vague (since I REFUSE to read scanlations. A rant about why I don't like scanlations will be soon). But! I've seen the anime three times and some episodes even more, so I'm adding it here as *anime*. I've decided about the way in which I will complete the manga. German versions! I can buy new volumes whenever they release them (every two months, now they're on vol2). That method is, imo, better because if I bought all available volumes of the manga at once, it would spoil the fun a little. It's better to buy them... gradually^^
That would be all, thank you^_^;

A few things that happened last week (actually it was a busy week but I forgot most of the rant/things I wanted to write here^^;):
My grandmother gave me a bracelet that looks like it's 200 years old (and it's quite new in fact). It's so elaborate and cool, wai~
I read two chapters of Yazawa Ai's Paradise Kiss and liked them very much. Want more.
Gaah! Treize died in yesterday's episode of GW! *is sad* No more Okiyayu-sama's voice ;_;
And a short update on my philosophy classes front (I write about philosophy and not the other subjects because I simply hate being tought a subject so useless on philology studies as philosophy is --;). I noticed that the guy (teacher) keeps picking on me in a strange sort of way. I do everything not to be noticed during the classes (haha, because I'm rarely prepared and have homework :P) because I don't really like to participate in discussions and generaly talk in (any sort of) classes. I just sit there and wait until they end. I see no point in expressing my opinions, especially philosophical and sharing them with the rest of the class. So.
But, nooo, of course it has to be miss M. to summarize the text we are reading. It has to be miss M. who will prepare extra homework for the next lesson. It has to be miss M. to tell us what she thinks about a given theory. *shrugs*
And I don't realy get it. It's not like he hates me. On a few papers he actually helped me by saying that what I wrote there was wrong (usually on my philosophy papers 99% things are wrong^^;) and gave me a few explicit hints as to what the correct answer should be. It wouldn't bother me normally, but it does because he never helped anyone of the group other than me o_o'
And he looks like a fish >_<;
A few referrers now for a good ending of this entry ^_^:
-Laruku and Sadak0 (pictures) (what the..? It's disturbing..)
-"tons of fanfics OR fiction OR fics OR fanfiction ""dir en grey"
-+shougo +x +hate (Nonono, I adore Shougo! He rules!)
-gohatto i dont understand the plot (That's too bad for you XD)
-Apocalyptica yaoi slash (... That even makes sense o_O; Naah, I'm against real people slash, except Jrockers that is XD)

Oh, yay. I'm back (And I'm very brain-washed in a yaoi sort of way. I mean it.). I survived a week without blogging. That means I'm strong.
...
I am also an idiot. Because, I admit, that was one of the most stupid ideas I've had -_-; So pointless. And the best part is, that normally, when I blog my life isn't especially interesting and I sometimes don't know what to write. But take a week off and there are 92825987 things that happen and that I want to write about, including a convention--;
So this entry is going to be long >:D
Firstly, as you can see, a new layout.
Kyaa, Sanzou-sama prevails once again. This time in all his gun-pointing glory. Eh, I wuv him^^. It's still not the revolutionary layout I'm planning to use. And I like the shade of blue here. It's strange because I usually don't like blue much (I hate navy-blue><;)
What? You ask what happened to Goku that was on this picture? What Goku? There was Goku on it? *laughs nervously* Tiaaa.
The convention I was on this weekend
Because I was. I completely forgot about it. It was supposed to start on Saturday and I realised that only on Thursday evening (it's a good thing that I did anyway). That was very in character for me^^;
Buuut! It wasn't a normal convention, it was a yaoi one! And that was why I wanted to go. I have no intention to associate with this fandom (and to be honest, I did not) and went there *only* to buy some things and watch anime. And I did, yay!
The thing was in a city far away from here (and if it wasn't enough, it was in a part very far away from the center of that city--;;; I had to literally wander through the meadows and some fields to get there. And I didn't get lost! That's great, considering I'm like Hatsuharu it this ^_^') When I got there (by train), there was a big 'WELCOME TO HELL' written by somebody on one of the station's walls. Naisu --;;.
It was a very small con, about 100-150 people. And not much to buy, but compared to the first one I was at, it was heaven--;;
I bought an extremely useless (though cool) thing: a set of Saiyuuki playing cards! Haha *hugs them*!! Unfortunately on most of them the pictures are from the anime (design), and to be honest, I don't really like them. Anime design just cannot be compared with the beauty of Minekura-sensei's original artworks ^.^
What else... I also bought many various postards, volume 2 of Yami no Matsuei (German version, boo), and a thing that exists on my manga wishlist as 'random yaoi', which in this case was Loveholic, a sweet one-shot story by Touko Kawai. I never heard of it before but it has a pretty artwork so I bought ityay^^
Oh, I also got X vol.18 Japanese!! Yaaay! Now I need only vol 17 (which I will buy next week muaha) to have the whole serie compleeeted!!
And that would be all *big sweatdrop*.
Anyway, I spent the whole time in a cinema room watching anime (They had very comfy seats there. Of course after sitting there for over 20 hours, no seat is comfy. Let's add a few hours of sitting in trains to that, and I'm sure that my butt is flat like a desk now --;;;;).
Nothing special there too. I watched almost all YnM episodes (which in my case would be the third time I watched the whole serie. The anime is so perfect (and the seiyuu *dies*) that I think that there's never too much of it ^_^), Wiess Kreuz OAVs (seen them already) and later episodes of Gluhen (have I mentioned that I really like the 'Fujimiya-sensei'-look on Aya? He's cool like that.), Fake (I didn't especially want to watch it because, as a rule, I detest things with detectives/police in them. But I was surprised because I liked Fake. Apart from the stupid and cliched plot, it was entertaining and *very* funny. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes in some moments XDD And the Ryo guy... He's so like Remus Lupin! (the one that is in my imagination after seeing beautiful fanarts like that, that or that one. Ne?)), first episodes of Xtv (which I've seen like 4 times already--;;) and a bunch of yaoi (aired all night so I didn't get any sleep =_=) that most of them I've already seen too. But I saw Boku no Sexual Harrasement in Spanish dub XDDD!! Oh God, it was so funny! And the dubbed part was only the one with the infamous corn. Actually I think the dub was better than the original. It's simple - the main uke's (I somehow always forget his name ._.) seiyuu was... he had such a high voice it was very disturbing. And when he was moaning I was ROTFL. I know very few words in Spanish so it was even more funny (because the uke was like 'por favor' XDD').
What else, hmm. I saw also some live action yaoi performed by the few guys that were there, and that would be it. It wasn't an extremely interesting convention, but it made me very happy.
Such amount of yaoi served non-stop for over a day was something. I see it everywhere now *_*;;
And I was busy most of the Sunday so didn't get much sleep then, and I slept all Monday.
And now a long survey I have seen on many blogs :D
1. Look in your closet, What is the predominant colour of your clothing?
Fufufu, let's see. Which is the most beautiful of all colors? Black, black and don't forget black. Ah, actually it was a rhetorical question in my case XD'
2. What would you say is your most unique or unusual possession.
I don't know... I have many strange things... The most unique would be my body because it's miiiiine~ (at least I think so o.O)
3. What is the oldest thing in your possession?
Photos of me when I was only a few days old.
4. How much time do you spend in the average day Grooming yourself?(shower, hairbrushing, makeup, dressing, peering in mirror to check appearance, etc)
Uaah, waaaay too much time =X
5. Have you ever had a song that reminded you of or you otherwise associated with a particular person? (love song, breakup song, best friend song, etc)
Ususally songs remind me of some *periods* of my life, not people. In that case, there are too many to list here^^;
6. Do you have any identifying marks or objects on your backpack, purse, wallet, car, (or whatever your primary travelling stuff holder is)..? If so, what are they and do they have any sentimental meaning to you?
No, I guess I don't need those. I do however have a Saiyuuki keychain with my bag I carry round every day^^
7. Are you wearing any jewelry right now? If so, What?
None because I'm at home. For some strange reason I feel odd wearing jewelry at home o_O;
8. Describe your bed and bedding ( ex: pillows, blankets, the teddy bear you've had since you were 3)
Nothing fancy here, just white with some patterns. My bed is situated under the wall and it's somehow strangely constructed that no matter how close to the wall I push it, there always is a kind of crevice. And everything I had on my bed (books and so) used to fall there--;; So a few years ago, I fixed that by buying a... life size snake plushie. It fits there perfectly. Ahaha, but it was funny when I was going home with that snake around my neck like a scarf after I bought it^^;;
9. Have you ever kept a Book-type diary/journal( in otherwords, not online and not read by anyone other than yourself to your knowledge) which you wrote in at least once a fortnight for a consecutive period of no less than 6 months?
No^^; I tried many times but I'm just too hell-ishly unsystematic and it never works. It surprises me that I somehow manage to run this blog =P
10. What fictional world would you most like to live in, and/Or what fictional character's life would you like your life to mirror?
Some Bishful world of course. Well, it would be great to be like Pirotess and die in Ashram-sama's arms (though I'd actually prefer to *live* in his arms :3). Or I could live in a world full of magic, superpowers, angels, demons, another dimentions and so~
11. Do you know which side of the looking glass you're on?
Gulp. Hope it's the right one XD'. But then again, how can I know which is the right one? *nods thoughtfuly*
12. Do you have long fingernails? Are they real? Are they all about the same length? are they painted? Do you use a nail file with any frequency? tell me all about it.
ALWAYS real. Artificial nails are just gross XP. And they're always the same lenght (otherwise it's just not aesthetic). Not very long, 1 to 2 mm usually. On weekdays I use a light pearly-beige nail polish but when I go out, I like to use a deep, dark dark red (kurenai XD) one.
13. Do you prefer to live in a urban or rural area?
Urban! No other way for me >P
14. What song are you listening to right now? If you aren't listening to something now, what's the last song you remember hearing?
Taproot - Poem. It's a really nasty song, don't listen to it! If you do, it will stick to your head for a week or more ~_~ So catchy (Not that I don't like it, though. It's great)
15. Mew? Meow, Murr. Meeeeeooww?!
Aww, a kitty! *catches it~* I'm gonna pet you and hold you and never ever let you go >:3
16. Think of a close friend. If They were able to go on their dream trip, where would they go?
Tokyo! (and take me along~)
17. 42?
My shoe size. Don't ask--;
18. 69?
Apart from the obvious, it also reminds me of The 69 Eyes and Tetsu 69 ^_^'
19. 3.14?
Pi. (Ohoho, and it reminds me what a happy Astarise I am, not being forced to learn maths~ Envy me! ^_-).
I saw The Dandy Warhols' new video! Yay! They're fantastic^_^ It probably means a new cd soon so even bigger yay from me. But I'll surely have to wait a long time for it (considering that I'm still fruitlessly haunting the music stores in search of Apocalyptica's new cd--;;)
Oh, yeah, it's April fool's day (or whatever it's called) today! I love it >:D This year my main trick is going to be very childish (and nasty). I'm going to switch salt with sugar (There are two similar jars for them in our kitchen. On one it says 'salt' and on the other 'sugar', and they just beg to be switched^^;), nyahaha. That is especially planned for my sister because she... adds sugar to her green tea!! Yuck! I am able to understand it when people do it to the normal tea (but, imo, it's still yucky), but green?! Aah, the salt should teach her a leson >=D

Last night I had a dream about 'Laruku brand' chocolates o_O; which was weird albeit very pleasant. I remember being given a plate full of various chocolates but the Laruku ones were the best. Mmm XD
Hey, no wonder they tasted so good if they have probably been blessed by haido X3333
OK, now reality.
Thank Youuuuuu~~ so much for the info *beams* ^___^ *jumps up and down*
Now I have a sound-remixing program! Er, thought I didn't have enough time to actually use it this weekend (I had to do some major house-cleaning because we have a new wall now (instead of the doorframe) and it's covered with freash paint and it SMELLS ><. OK, end of digression)
My layout looks *awful* on the 1024xsomething resolution >_> Not that it has some serious html mistakes (ha! it doesn't have any and it means I'm a genious XD') but I generally don't like the way it looks here >.>. A voice inside of my head is nagging me persistently to change it already ~_~;
And here comes the crucial part of this post.
I've wondered If I am able to live a week without blogging. *poses overdramatically* I want to know how it feels like. I've totally forgotten the time before I had a blog. *end drama*
So now, I officially announce a week-long hiatus. Haha! ^^;; I'm really curious if I can make it (It's also for the sake of some decency because knowing myself, I would change the layout soon and it wouldn't be fair for Gojyo-san to last only a week^^;)
Ja bai bai~ then *sniff (Noo! Must be strong! Must train your weak will! ><;)*
