Well, Jasmine's long gone by now. I wonder if she's back in Virginia yet? I have no idea how long the flight is supposd to be.
I should stop listening to depressing music.
I had a strange, strange FFX/Naruto dream last night. I'm not even sure what it was about. There were ninjas, of course, and the team captains picked their own three-man team. And then the narrator of my dream--it was probably Kakashi or Iruka-sensei--was evaluating each captain's choice, and he praised the captain who chose Tidus (?!) because he's impetuous, and thus hard to predict. Mentally; he didn't actually say any of this out loud. Then the teachers or whoever rearranged the teams the way they would have picked them. Only one team remained intact. I remember Naruto and Tidus ended up on the same team.
Then at some point I was running up a path with a bunch of other people (Tidus and Wakka?) collecting red and green spheres in some kind of competition. Er.

My mouse died today. Well, yesterday, technically.
She was lying in her food bowl when I went out to feed her this morning. I knew she hadn't been dead long, because she wasn't stiff yet. I buried her in the backyard in a shallow trench and covered it with a ceramic planter. I should feel worse than I do, but quite honestly, I was never that close to my mouse. I never even gave her a real name. I guess that happens when you don't have a pet that lives in your house; Dad made me keep her outside, behind the garage, where it was cold and the roof leaked. >_< But I do feel pretty shitty, because I feel like I killed her out of neglect. >_< I know she was getting on in years (I got her two years ago, around this time of year, along with a bunch of other mice for a science project), though. . . it was probably for the best. My dad hated paying for her upkeep (he hates pets), and if she'd continued to live on into summer, I don't know what I would have done with her.
But I still feel shitty.
. . . in other, less depressing news, Siean is now playing Devil May Cry. I pressed him into renting it (the other choice was Onimusha 2), and he's quite enjoying himself, even though it literally took him around ten tries to kill the lava spider/scorpion thing. Dante is such an airhead. I like him.
That's about it, really.

I finally gave in and started reading Angel Sanctuary scanlations. Damn, but I feel like an ass. I know I should be buying the manga, but. . . but. . . **sob** I will! I promise I will! I'll atone for my sins! Even if I buy just one book--
Ahem.
I'm making my way through volume three right now. Wow, a lot sure happens. So far, my favorite characters are Kira (BADASS), Katan (ANGSTRIDDEN), and Zaphkiel (DOOOOOORK!).
I'm going to run out of scanlations soon, and then this is gonna get ugly.

I have an idea for an Evangelion wallpaper, but I'm having trouble finding images. Namely, uh, images of Shinji strangling Asuka, from both scenes. If anyone has any (preferably large, around 800x600 pixels), could you please let me know?
And now, I have a startling fact to announce to the world: I do not like Kaworu/Shinji.
Those of you who know me should be gasping in shock and horror or something. ^^;; And you know, I used to like Kaworu/Shinji, back in eighth grade or something when I first watched Evangelion. But now that I'm older and have finally watched End of Eva, I can honestly say that I think people who're all about the "oooo, they're so cute together!" and "Kaworu is so kawaii!" are really missing the point. It's not that I don't think Shinji and Kaworu should be "together"--though that's besides the point, really, since it's obviously not going to happen. It's more that even though it's practically canon, their relationship isn't something to fawn and coo over. That's not the point. It has more to do with what Kaworu represents to Shinji and what Shinji means to Kaworu. If you don't see that, you've probably missed the point of the entire series.
That's all I'm going to say, partly because I don't want to spoil anything for people who've yet to watch Eva and also because really, I have no idea what I'm talking about. ^^;;
By the way, I've been accepted to North Michigan University. I guess that means I won't be going to PCC.

I just had an eight-hour anime marathon, which finished with watching The End of Evangelion. MY BRAAAAIIIINN.
I would give a review, but there's really nothing to say. The first forty minutes or so of the movie are fairly straightforward, and then it all goes to hell. Literally! Or was that heaven? Blarg. Anyway. Yes. At that point I happily gave up trying to understand it, because as I'm still struggling to comprehend one point, the movie throws THREE MORE at me, and then I'm overwhelmed and begin to stop functioning. The movie did not have nearly enough Kaworu. I love Kaworu. Almost as much as Shinji loves Kaworu. Heh heh. Heh. Mwah.
I think classical music is going to scare me for the rest of my life.

And now for something unrelated to Christmas: Naruto.
Is there something between Haku and Zabuza that I should know about? I mean, on the one hand, it might be hero worship; Zabuza took Haku off the streets and made him a kickass ninja and all. Then again, Haku refers to Zabuza as something "precious" to him. Well, not directly, but he's talking to Naruto about becoming strong ("if you have something precious to you to protect, you will become strong") and thinking about his past and how he met Zabuza. So! We can infer that Zabuza is that "something precious." Er. Maybe if I knew more Japanese this wouldn't seem. . . so. . . yeah. And Haku also thinks that Zabuza has a beautiful body, which makes me go "er." Maybe he was being sarcastic? But he flips out when Gatoh goes to taunt Zabuza! Yet, afterwards, he says it's because they still need Gatoh alive. Maybe he didn't want Zabuza to kill Gatoh?
Above all, this is a shounen series. Shounen series do not have gay. Well, canon gay. Plenty of shounen series have gay-that-fangirls-put-there. But not really-farkin'-obvious gay like Haku/Zabuza appears to be. Maybe it's just me.
I'm so confused.
And now, the obligatory "what I got for Christmas" blah. I got Hari Pota, the second volume of Hellsing, a photo album, and. . . that's pretty much it, actually. Siean's here right now; he was going to try and get me a memory card. Sweet of him, except that, uh, I don't have a PS2 to use the memory card on. He was unable to get my memory card, unfortunately, since it's Christmas and none of the stores are open, so he's just going to rent me bunch of videos at Orbit. Yay! I like that better than a memory card.
What did I get other people for Christmas? I'm a selfish, poor bitch who's terrible at Christmas shopping, so, uh, nothing, really. I never know what to buy, honestly. My dad's not into material things (seriously; that's what he said), my relatives and I don't interact much, so I never know what they want, and. . . and, yeah. I burned all the episodes of Naruto I have onto CD for Rachel; that's her present. I got [BEEEEEEEEP] for Gen. I. . . uh. . . burned lots of anime for Jasmine. Does that count?
. . . yeah, I'm a selfish, cheap bitch. Merry Christmas. ^^;;

Everyone should play Taasen. Go ahead. You know you want to. Click on the link. Here, I'll provide it again. Read the rules. They're pretty straightforward. And when you get to the bottom, there's a download. Download it, unzip it, and play your heart out. This is one of the best games in the world, and I don't even know how to play chess.

Jasmine was over this weekend! That's why I didn't blog. ^^;; She left today, but she might be back Thursday. Yay yay yay! Rachel wasn't able to be over as much as she should have been because her mom was being an ass and "punishing" Rachel for her bad grades by NOT LETTING HER SEE A FRIEND SHE MAY NOT SEE FOR YEARS. Grrrrrr.
I have Hari Pota. Yes, Hari Pota. That's Harry Potter. In Japanese. YEE. And I have the second Hellsing DVD! Now, if only I can find the first one. **sweatdrop** I took it to Seattle and. . . I haven't seen it since, really. Glarg. I don't think I left it there. . .
And now, I would like to talk about some comics I've been reading.
Sexy Losers is a very, very, incredibly wrong comic. It's perverted. It has graphic depictions of people having sex. It has suicide, masturbation, and necrophilia. It also makes me laugh my ass off, but I'm just sick like that.
Dooti and Evel makes no sense whatsoever. It's got glaring continuation errors and the conversations often seem like random dialogue than, you know, a conversation. And yet, I read all thirty-four pages and I still want more. I don't know what it is. It has pretty art, too!
I haven't talked about Saturnalia yet, but believe me, it's not because I don't like it. It has great art, great story, and great characters. In fact, the only complaint I have is that the artist/author doesn't update enough. Heh heh.
Unicorn Jelly has already been mentioned, and I would like to mention it again. The best way to describe it is probably "Tolkien sci-fi." It's, um, really damn good. Trust me. It starts out a little incredulous, but once you get to Chou and the Impalers, you can't stop reading.
And that's all I'm going to talk about today. I'm off to read more Sexy Losers!

Saw The Two Towers today. There will now be squealing. And many, many spoilers.
Well, I knew Gandalf wasn't really dead. In cinema, if you don't see a body, they aren't really dead, you know. ^_~ That was how I knew Merry and Pippin weren't dead, either.
Eeeellllllvvvveeees. Elves. Elves. Everywhere. Dah.
That movie makes it far, far too easy for slash fans. It's so easy it's wrong. Tolkien slash in itself is wrong. But the movie makes it so easy. I'm predicting a bumper crop of Aragorn/Legolas fic.
The ent war. Fantastic. I was laughing at Sarumon the whole time. "HAH! LOSER!"
And Gollum/Smeagol! Fantastic! I loved how he moved, how he talked, how he looked. It was perfect, through and through.
These people sure glow a lot. It was painful.
Two words: "You're late."
It's a short review. Blah. Well. The movie did give me a sudden urge to write about elves. I don't know why. I've never felt a need to write about elves before. It's very strange.
But before that, a wallpaper! It's pretty. At least, I think it's pretty. Many, many thanks to Walker, who remembered what I didn't and flooded my inbox with pictures of stained glass windows. ^_^ If it weren't for her, this wallpaper wouldn't have been made.
Series: Trigun
Character(s): Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Song/Title: Amazing Grace
Comments: This wallpaper was actually very easy to make, the problem was finding an appropriate song. It took maybe fifteen minutes of consulting Winamp and consulting my friends to finally come up with something. Adding the text, for some reason, was also a pain. I had to adjust the text a gabillion times. But still, I'm pleased with the results. Even though in the end, the text is pretty much illegible.
