music: Kagrra - Nageki no Shi

  I thought I was an Internet addict. Apparantly I was wrong. I'm not :3
If I was, I'd visit this cafe more often and crave computers generally. But I don't, yay. At this rate, it may become dangerous for my blog if I don't come back soon T_T;

I miss watching anime though. I have lots of manga to read, but I haven't watched *any* anime for two weeks now *cries*.

I love Yami no Matsuei. As in really, really love it.
Sohryu rules <3 But I don't like Kurikara. And Hisoka is an IDIOT. And now I want vol 12 to come out asap, because I'm dying of curiosity because I don't know what happens next. What about Kojirou, damnit?! And what about Nagare, lol^^; I wan't Riko back T_____T It's not fair. It was such a sad scene I couldn't help but cry. And I was in a park too >_<; SD, or semi-SD Muraki is the cutest thing EVER! The second cutest is the scene when stick-figure Muraki is being kicked by stick-figure Oriya screaming 'Oriya kick!' *dies*
Meh, now I want to rewatch the anime (for the nth time, haha).

I still think this keyboard is evil XP~

I bought Animage 08. For that Ban/Ginji in chains pic solely. That is called being an obsessive GBfan, as I have three versions of that pic scanned (by other people) at home...

Ah. Fortunately it's not that hot today. The heat makes me totally un-genki and full of inertia. I didn't even have the energy to start looking for a job, kekeke. And I've decided I will not be a babysitter. No way. There are other things too, I guess...
I'm almost out of my money now o_O; I've spent it all on cosmetics, manga and other various stuff (SD Sanzou broche/pin-thingy! I wear it with pride XD)

Wow, this was a short entry for me. I'll go prowl around Paris now. Maybe I'll find some new manga shops :3

  Bloggin' from Paris, wahooo! Bloggin' from a little cafe near the Luxembourg Parc, to be exact :3
(They want only 1 euro for an hour! Cheap! That's cheaper than in Warsaw cafes *.*)
Gaaah, but I have a French keyboard here and it's weird o_O; You need to press shift to have the numbers (same goes for the dot. wth?) and there are a lot of misplaced letters (misplaced in my opinion). So typing will take me three times longer and the possibility of typos/mistakes is very high T_T;
Ahh, so many things to write about^^ Let's use the random paragraph method:

Only a few unblogged days and I already feel a bit out of it -_-; So many other blogs to read~

Happy (belated--;) birthday~! And lucky You with that magazine (surprisingly I couldn't find it here. Ha, but I won't give up searching! GB gayness ^^~!)

It's so hot here that I'll probably die soon. 40 degrees C *is dead already* Fortunately I have a life-saver which is a Sai-like white paper fan <3~~

I'm living near the small Chinese district and there are croooowds of Japanese tourists here. So this means a lot of pretty Asian boys for me to drool at, myuhuhuhu :3

Unfortunately as my French is bad, reeeaallly bad (have to rely on my English here. Which is not perfect either, as you can see. Fortunately the people here have their English 30 times worse than me ;P), the only job I'll probably have will be a babysitter -_-;;; Hell, and I have absolutely z-e-r-o experience with that. And what if the child suddenly dies on me because of that, buaaa >_>~~ But I need the money~

Wahaha, Pirates of the Caribbean are premiered on the 13th here ^___^ Can't wait, can't wait~~

Junku. The place I'd never leave if I could. If tourists love to have the photos of them with the Eiffel Tower in the background, I want to have one with Junku behind me XP
It's a Japanese bookshop with its basement completely devoted to manga stuff XDD It's so full of various manga that I go @___@; whenever I'm there. Unfortunately it's an expensive shop too, as it is located near the Louvre and such -_-
Found seveal cheaper manga shops too, but none of them can be compared with the greatness of Junku. When I'm there I feel like a normal fan (at last).

I haven't bought many things yet, mainly because I think it's better to buy it all in small portions because it tastes better that way^^

I bought Moi dix Mois's Dialogue Symphonie cd. I had the choice: either to buy their whole album, or this cd [I have all their mp3s anyway (<- not something I should be proud of)] I chose the latter because... it has prettier cover, haha < /idiot>. Unfortunately I couldn't find any MUCC >_> Will have to order it when I'll come back. But I'm glad I'm not a rabid (rabid) Gackt fan as I'd probably go crazy/immediately poor looking at all the stuff sold here. Moonchild photobook, mmmm~

Saiyuuki Reload 1 and 2! With so little furigana in them TT__TT Waah, it's not gaijin-friendly, such scarce use of furigana, it is ._.
And they were so expensive too >_> *kicks the tanks (gently, so as not to damage them :3)* Ahh, but the size, the quality~~
Eh, it's not that I have big problems with reading it, nonono. I don't, because many kind people have been doing Zero Sum summaries *hearts* ^^

Yami no Matsuei!!! *is on a massive YnM kick lately*
Well first I thought I'll start buying from volume 8, because I've heard somewhere that the lovely pic of Tohda in chains (which I'm very fond of =X) is there^^; Bah, I was wrong and it's in vol 10 but anyway^^;;;; 8 was full of Muraki/Oriya instead *____* I also have 9 und 10 which are full of Watari (who is one of my idols). Yay for Watari without glasses! And I love oni-Tatsumi^^. And Tohda is a yummy fanservice even in his clothes on (I keep saying that he'll grow his hair long again. He must). Ahhh. I wasn't wrong saying that YnM is perfect. It is. Big yay. As soon as I'll finish reading what I have, I'm rushing off to buy more. AHAHahaha~ I shall complete all the manga here *sparkly eyes*! At last!

GetBackers!!! Whee, I got vols 10-13 (Mugenjou/Venus)! (spoilers obviously)
The manga is funny:
  Fudou loses his shirt, har har.
  Ban is running completely shirtless in the Mugenjou.
  AKABANE!
  The way Akabane pulls his sword out is a bit more gross than in the anime. Now it resembles Arashi (from X). And it looks like it's metal o-o; He also wields it in his left hand (forgot which one is it in the anime)
  MakubeX, but only when he tries to look evil, looks very cool imo.
  Natsuhiko rules. Am very happy he (and Yukihiko) was chosen from the Miroku 7 by the anime makers. He's just mmmmm~
  I'm in love with the the cover of volume 12 *_* A close-up of yummy Natsuhiko and Akabane below *dies*
  The J on the back of Ban's shirt scene *____*
  I've said I support Akabane/Ban. Their fight in eps 32/33 was much more slashy in the manga:
    Ban was half-shirtless again.
    Akabane got the front of his coat/shirt torn open (by Ban, who added another pretty gash on Akabane's chest).
    They were fighting IN THE RAIN *dies*
  I really need episode 48 now ;_; (hell, I need 39 and 40 first! But luckily, I won't have to install BT here as my sister offered to send me a cd with them :3)
Ahh. Happiness.

I'm a sucker for fanservice, I know --;

GetBackers fandom is evil, btw. Now whenever I see a pic/symbol of a dolphin I think of Emishi -__-;
Come to think about it, I have a theory. Maybe his dolphin fixation is because of his unrequited love for MakubeX (who wears a dolphin pendant)? I love slash^^

I also bought Fruits Basket 1 and some misc Rurouni Kenshin books because they cost only 1 euro^^; So it's buying for the sake of the price but heh^^;

It's a little strange for me that all prices are in euro and when I was here three years ago it was all francs^^;

I'm having a lot of fun here. I'm playing Go with my father and losing remarkably -.-; I just don't have a strqtegic mind or something like that *kicks maths*. Go is entertaining even when I lose^^;

Anyway. Remember when I wrote about people's reactions to me wearing that special black/lace collar I made? It's somewhere in my archives (lazy). Anyway, here it's the same only I don't need to wear any collar -_-; Ok, I know I'm white and tall but really >_<~ I'm not used to people whistling after me on the streets -////-V

And now 2 really droolsome test results (esp. the first one :3)
You are Kuroudo Akabane!

You are Akabane Kuroudo also known as Dr. Jackel!
People do have their obsessions, but yours
tends to be a bit on the wild side. Killing
others gives you near orgasmic pleasure, and
you love taking jobs that can allow you to
delve into your favorite sport. You especially
love those who can challenge you. Sharp objects
hold your fascination. However, because you are
rather mysterious and sexy to boot, your
sadistic nature can attract loud, obnoxious
high school girls.

Myuu <3. OK, I think I'll finish it here. I need to buy myself something to drink^^. Damn this keyboard, really. What sane person would replace 'q' and 'a' keys? It confuses me greatly. Thanks to this heat, I probably forgot 32542465 things I wanted to write about ;_;~

  Yay for me, I got a perm yesterday. The one I did half a year ago has managed to completely wear off by now. Um, and I guess I'm in the minooority of girls who do *not* enjoy going to hair saloons. Bah, I hate that even >_> All the hairdressers were looking at me like I was some kind of a weirdo:
They: Oooh, you've got natural long hair! Let's cut it! Short >D! Oh please, let us cut it *maniacal laugh* >D~
Me: No way.
They: Oooh, you don't *gasp* dye your hair! Let's dye it! Oh please, let us dye it! Blonde! Or copper! Or some highlights at least *maniacal laugh* >D~
Me: Uh, no way.

So anyway, there is a complete chaos in my room now, things are scattered all over the place and every five minutes I'll go running around in circles panicking as I can't find something. Yup yup, Astarise is packing -_- I guess I'll stay up till morning with it all. I forgot to do some laundry too and had to use this super fast (irony -_-) method of drying the clothes with a hairdryer. So logically, I shouldn't be blogging at a time like this^^;

Hm, I'm thinking if I'm doing the right thing - going to Paris in August while it's known everywhere that half of the shops is closed then because people are on vacation^^;;;

Also, one thing: I've read somewhere that one feels best/is the most happy when one lives near the place one was born. I guess this would explain my eagerness to go there^^. And my antipatriotism^^;;;;;~
So a ':P' for you, poland - you suck so bad >D
OK, I'm out of here (but I'll come back eventually -_-). Ah, but don't worry - I shall blog as often as I'll be able. One searches for internet cafes when one is as addicted as I am XD'
Ja bai bai minna~

  Sanzou-sama! Yay, he's back as my layout boi again^^ Ah, but Akabane-sama will return soon, that I can promise :3

Saa. My sister returned, big yay, and that means a lot of new manga stuff ^_______^

Happiness ^_^

First of all, I got Saiyuuki 8 and 9 (8 is even the new Zero Sum edition with pretty green Hakkai cover^^)! Yes yes, pathetic, I call myself a fan and I didn't even have those volumes -_-
I've seen a lot of scans (not scanlations - just scans) from them and I'd basically known what was going on there before I got those two so there are no plot surprises for me. Wai~ Sanzou *_* And that breath-taking artwork <3
Oooh, but I got Bus Gamer too *_____* Cool, very cool. I didn't have enough time to actually read it yet, but I will soon, mmm.
GetBackers volume... 1 >_>.. sucks muchly, blah.
And... that dog *dies* I will say no more of it x.x;
If it were me who had the choice what to buy, I'd start from volume 11. Ah well. I will buy it anyway. Soon >:3
I also got lots of Kaori Yuki stuff (Angel Sanctuary 18: Katou T_T Lucifer *_*~, some Boys Next Door and God Child which I haven't read yet too ._.') and Kaine! Yayness, I love Kaine. I'm saying that because I read its scanlations a year ago (back then I wasn't so against them like I am now). See, people? That's the way it should be. Even though I've read the scanlations I buy the manga. I will buy *all* the manga I've ever read scanlated someday (fortunately it's not much). Death to scanlations!
Fruits Basket 11 and 12 (ooh, 12 came out in June, at last I'm not so behind with something >_>). And some other manga too, I can't recall them right now XD'

Also, a wonderful thing (XD'), a Saiyuuki doujinshi called Renai Jigai (Truth of Falsehood), which is basically Gojyo/Sanzou (yeah!), Hakkai/Sanzou and Hakkai/Goku (no~!). Bah, but half of it is a fanfic which I do not even try to read (no furigana T_T). Wai~!

And: a very cute Gackt (wearing a dark green suit and looking very elegant :3) poster (it's from the 2002 Official Calendar), a Sanzou-ikkou poster, a very cool GetBackers poster with Ban and Ginji manga style (it's a very nice/aesthetic pic and I haven't seen it before, so yay!) and a PoT's Seigaku team poster XD', and tons of misc magazines.

Aaah. *I* will definitely buy more >:3 Right now I'm torn between wanting to read the manga and doing preparations for my journey (agh! Only 2 days left x_X)

You're Freyr, a god with a brilliant mind, although you occasionally waste your time on useless things. You're willing to achieve your goal by your best, and you don't give up easily. Use your skills efficiently!

Which Matantei Loki character are you most alike?


Frey XDDD! Oh, and Loki 15 was *angsty*. 2 thoughts:
- Freya and those Norn sisters should die >:F
- I want a Fenrir plushieee~~! XD'

OK, I had this strange dream: you know there are people who do other people's makeup, I don't know what's that job called so I'll call it a makeupper (-_-;;;). And in this dream I was a demakeupper, meaning my job was to take off people's makeup >_> Heh, but it wasn't bad, as the person I was demakeupping was a Jrocker! XD Juka, the very very very good looking vocalist of Moi dix Mois, to be exact. Myuuu, but he was so nice ^_^ We talked a bit while I was demakeupping him and he was all smiling and such ^___^ Kyaa~ But unfortunately it was interrupted by an attack of spiders (Nooo! Buaa, I hate spiders x-x) which didn't even get close to me as they were immediately attacked by a swarm of crows. Nyaha, hello the scene from GetBackers 38. And because of that all, I lost Juka-san somewhere T_T And he had only one eye demakeupped, poor thing.

Eh, so that didn't make much sense XD' *hugs her manga anyway*

  (Because my life's become somewhat boring lately)
A swallow flew through the open window into my room today o_O It was a very fortunate swallow too, because instead of hitting the window glass on its way back, after a few circles in the air (and me fruitlessly jumping up trying to catch it before it hits the glass/wall) it landed on the floor very confused. So I took it in my hands and let it out suppressing the urge to cry 'Fly! Fly and be FREE!' or some other clichéd thing like that^^;
Mwaah, but it was such a cute swallow-chan~ ^_^ It was smaller than my palm, all black and with very sharp claws (which miraculously did not cut my skin).

It's because there are swallow nests just above my windows and tons of them fly outside everyday, squealing a very un-annoying happy squeals^^ The joys of living on a 16th floor.

I was so worried about it killing itself on the wall though. It's because I watch Utena lately (and there was a scene like that ;_;). Heh, and I watched the Akio/Touga/Saionji in the car episode XDDDD Yay for fanservice!

Aside from that, my tickets are already bought - I'm leaving next Thursday. So now I'm doing misc preparations and buy lots of things. I bought a new umbrella and I have a tedious task ahead of me - detaching the lace from my old one and sewing it back onto the new one. Tedious, yes, but the extreme coolness of an umbrella trimmed with lace is worth it, imo^^

  I should create a saying 'time flies remarkably fast when one keeps a blog...'. Becaaause~ my bloggie is having its first anniversary today *opens an imaginary champagne*! XDD
It still feels kind of strange for me. I'm almost convinced it was only a month ago I started it all, but in reality POOF! and one year of my life has just been written down day by day (more or less regularly XP).

I can surely say I love my blog. Even if it may not seem to be a very popular one (as I myself am not very sociable ._.). I love it because it's become sort of my hobby. Besides, I've gained a few things during that year thanks to it: improved my English a bit (it was horrible at the beginning >_>), met two wonderful people from blogland^^, the happiness of being able to vent my fangirl feelings somewhere, discovered the passion of layout-making XD, LEARNED how to code a proper simple html layout, made the world dance with joy (>D') by posting real pictures of me (heh, with a fake beard and an eyepatch but whatever =X), and that pleasant feeling of being content after posting an entry (<-that does not apply to my last week's ones ~_~).
Anyway, a big YAY to end the subject.

MUCC! *waves a flag* Rabu! <3
< /pure randomness>

My sister comes back (only) on Sunday. I can't wait~ Well, yeah, it's also because I miss her terribly, but she's got the manga/stuff she bought for me and I WANT them now T___T~

Loki 15, oh Loki 15, what is it with you? Why are you being so nasty in a 1 kB/s way to me >.< ? Buaa.
