CLAMP male character matchmaker

uh. Yikes. I got Lantis for #1 three times in a row. 0_0; And Fuuma after that... I was honestly hoping for Yuuto (10) or Seishirou (4), but Yuuto's more like an older brother figure... But dang. 0_0

*peers around room*

Uh. Nobody's watching me are they? ;;; This could be bad...

And I'm a Remus Lupin. o_o Okay. Makes sense I guess.

np : DOA2 : Glorious Victory

OMYGYAAAAAD!!! XD XD XD XD XD

Okay okay start from the beginning! Harry Potter movie was released today, and the first thing I said to mommy today as I was screaming down the stairs was "I WANNA GO WATCH HARIPOTAAAAA!!!" So mommy said OKAY! XD Go watch after school/work or whatever. So I sped through my Japanese make up test, Myth test, Government tests, and we booked tickets online for me and Kix. So then before work, we figured out Kix's SAT II scores... which did not make her dad happy... which did not help convince her dad to let her stay out past 12. Because Haripota is a 2.5 hour movie o_o and it started at 9:45. Ends at 12:20. Crap! So eating ramen at Kix's I angsted that my plans had gone to the crap pile and called mommy to comfort. And comfort she did. Said she'd come see it with me if I couldn't find anyone else, but she'd pray I'd be able to go still. ^_^ love you mommy.

So work was a DRAG gah BUT Kino's got my ASUKA 12 in YAY! FINALLY! XD I like Fuuma on the cover. I also happen to like everything else about X. But that is trifle stuffs as compared to what else happened! So, I drove my ass over to Century and parking! was! a B*TCH!!! I was toooo lucky to have found a space- the line for the 9:45 show already wrapped around the building. GROSS. And it was 8:45! GROSSER!!! So we sat around, ate Pocky, read ASUKA, and it was even sooner than expected that we got in. We even got really good seats too- all the way up in back where nobody obscured our view! Really niiice. And although some guys popped in and sat next to us and almost got in a fight with the people on the other side of them because they wouldn't shut up (immature asian punks), the movie went quite nicely.

There isn't actually much to spoil, thankfully for Lisa ^_~ But Lisa, as well as the rest of the world, should know that the Harry Potter movie is not for those who have not read the book. Don't get me wrong - the movie was KICKASS - but had someone who hadn't read the book gone and watched it, it would have been so spontaneous and random they would have just been left in the dust. That only goes to say and mean that Rowling is such a great writer - all that detail was meant to be made into a motion picture - but plotwise, she is a genius, and all of that development would be impossible to fit into even 2.5 hours. I think, that although there were some small factors added that were not in the book, some things changed around, it was all done in good faith; to keep the time limit. That, and undoubtedly, scenes were cut out. That I think made most of the spontaneous. Draco, Goyle, and Crabbe were simply side characters- as were millions of others. Most things were introduced - such as those great scenes in the black forest and GAHD that AWESOME QUIDDITCH MATCH! XD XD XD That! is a PLUS. But the Harry Potter movie is not a substitute for the book. Rather, it's mainly fanservice and eyecandy. And it is VERY. GOOD. FANSERVICE. So go watch the movie- but only if you've read the book.

So I left the theatre in a rather satisfied state of mind, and when I got home, said hi to mommy and walked in my room.

My COPICS have ARRIVED!!! XD XD XD I will probably be fiddling with them for the rest of night, but today, for me, has been mostly a good day.

Oh yah! Oniichan told me last night he got a Xbox. With like 4 other games, including DOA3! Pretty nifty eh? Time to practice and kick Kenji's ass! Hahahahaha! ::cackle::

np : Rikki : Suteki da ne (orch)

I guess I couldn't actually get out of bed today. I barely remember mom telling me she was calling the school, but I woke up and looked at my clock to see it was 3 in the afternoon. Perfect.

And Lisa- that was actually quite a scary rant. I don't know about Harry Potter or how it compares to Fellowship of the Rings or Eva- all I know is that I liked it, it was enjoyable for me, and my main point in the arguement was that people shouldn't judge so readily based solely on the hype of things, without ever actually experiencing something. Some time later I also lightly touched a whole thing about how humans tend to make themselves feel better by seeming to know more than others, but that is what I think some particular people are overdoing- and being a shallow person, I only know what I feel. Closedmindedness just happens to be on the top of my irk list. Lisa's too smart for me. Next time I get in a debate like that, you should be there! Sign on AIM more often! ^_~

I found an online anime store that actually sold things for the actual exchange rate- Cheap as hell, And so many things I wanted. Unfortunately, it was in Japan, and shipping scared the bejesus out of me- $30 for a $60 order? UGH. No thanks. They had so much nice stuff too.

I'm all sore and tired and I have lots of stuff to do. Make up work. Crap. No WAY am I going to start Jrock- busy busy busy. Besides. There's way too much anime out there already as it is. -_-

Utmost in your mind is success. You are constantly seeking stimulation and a life full of experience. You are trying to "grow" and above all you need to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt. You are an enthusiastic individual ... full of life with the desire to live intensely. You like contact with others and are enthusiastic by nature. You are receptive to anything new, modern or intriguing. Your interests are many and you are likely to expand your fields of activities. You are optimistic about the future and you deserve every success because deep down you are a "winner".

Being a somewhat gentle, emotional and sensitive person, you are, at this time experiencing a considerable amount of tension. What you really need is someone who can be close to you and to listen to what you have to say...

There are at times of everyone's life when "compromise" is the name of the game...and this is the time. So you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity.

You are experiencing considerable stress which is essentially the result of on going rejection and hostility. You are in the unpleasant position that offers of trust, affection and understanding are being withheld and you are being treaded with a degrading lack of consideration. You feel that you are being denied the appreciation that you deserve... which is essential to your well-being and self-esteem. But you have to face up to the situation because as matters stand at this time there is little that you can do about it...You feel that you are getting nowhere and the continuous struggle is a lonely one. All difficulties and no encouragement.Whatever you try to say or do is met with continuous hostility and no matter how much you protest ... you are consistently misunderstood.You need to escape from the situation but you are so perplexed that you cannot find the strength of mind to make the necessary decision.

You really would like to be completely uninhibited... to let your hair down.. but you are held back by your sense of logic and rational, since you realise that by simple stupidity you could lose everything... whatever that may be...

... I'm going to go write my college essay now...

Went with Kix, Akuma, Jack, Kenji, and Michelle! Uber fun! Bought my a cross, pretty~ Kix helped me pick it, I love it. XD Jack-kun bought us McDonalds and sent me home! Afterwards I had a pretty bad episode with my mom but it's all okay now :D That and I was a bad girl and didn't finish my ROP project. So RUSH RUSH RUSH! AND THEN! I found out it wasn't due until tomorrow! YAY! But I uselessly caffienated myself up last night and stayed on the phone with Akuma for COM! Pany! Until about 2 in the morrrning. So Tea is good! I mean, it's bad! BAD! But it's still kinda good... ^_^ YUM.

So today yes! Uber sucky, uber boring, Japanese class sucks yadda yadda but I know what I'm going to write for my college essay! XD KICKASS! I'm so good I love my topic and I have my outline done! w00t~! That and after work I came home! Looked on doorstep and found:

np : Kodocha : "Ultra Relax"

WOW. Today was actually pretty cool! :D I woke up at around 3 pm feeling like crap, which was okay, and I wanted to go to SVGL to go drop off the presents I had for Carl and Stephanie~

Until I saw this ugly *FLASH* and long series of *BOOMMGGRRNNGGRR* which scared the living shit out of me and did not bode well. For I hate thunder and lightning. Because I got into an accident on a thunder and lightning day. So I thought to myself: If I can't drive during rainy weather, I'll NEVER be able to drive PERIOD. So I thought, screw this I'm going out. So I go out and drive extra extra slowly and carefully~ and get my ass to SVGL! ALIVE Where I first get to see CARL and STEPH! And YES! Everybody was sho happy XD Su-chan gave me some PPP CD's for me and Kix, so she should be happy. I also got to see DDRMAX there! But there were SOOO many people! X_X They were all running around and dancing and throwing around and eating Chicken, which I thought was awfully random. But they were having fun, which was the whole point. ^_^

So after a bit, I left for Valley Fair, where Matt said I would be able to get a Sony PSone screen. Which I did. And parking was a BITCH as usual but it was even WORSE because it was raining and it was a Saturday so I bit off Jack and I said "FAAAAAHHH~" and went to park in the back. Because I had no idea where EB was, but LUCKY! I parked in the right section of the parking lot! XD SO I picked up the screen, burned $140, and looked around the store- And I have an idea what I'm going to get Kix for Xmas~ XD XD XD XD XD

So afterwards, I visited Matt, Kix, and Mirae at work, bought some amaguri, looked around Kino's, and promptly went home because I didn't have cell phone on me and knew mom was going to be all worried about me and everything- which she was. But when I got home, mom just got home~ so alll good. I showed her my new PSone LCD screen treasure, and we watched some good TV! TV! TV! I even got to talk to Daddy in Hong Kong, and he was having breakfast at a restaurant that I remembered to be very nasty. But it's all good now, because Daddy can get Japanese Club an all-region DVD player for $250 =D So I shall tell Sachiko about the news on Tuesday. I also got mom to talk to daddy about the whole "lending-phi-$1000-to-buy-copics-in-spring-and-she-can-pay-back-later" plan. Basically...

dad: how much are they?
phi: $1000...
dad: .....

So initial reaction equals was not happy. But daddy is daddy, and he said "If mom says yes." Which she did. So about 10 minutes ago, I just burned another $1140 online for Copic sets A,B,C, and D. SALE! Early X-mas present! Well, since I'm the one paying for it, not really a present... but STILL. It's good that now I won't need to lug it back from Japan. ^_~

Phi's happy. it's phi's turn to get ahold of some crack, baby~!

Jack was happy today. Heheheh. ^_^ Jack was happy! WAI! Because Kix gave him a hug, and he was happy~! Ureshii yo, boku wa. It was sooo coool. I went to work with Kix, and we were ALMOST late but was all good! And Matt showed me the PSone screen! And I'm going to go do some research on that thing, because I don't know if the US one hooks up to my JP one. I also wanna check if Sony made any other models =( I really like the model they showed when they were advertising the PSone last year, but the real one looks different. But STILL! Was very crisp view, can play RPG's with that thing ^_^ Phi still wants one, $140.

So after work, we all hung around but Mirae was stuck in her PMS bubble and didn't wanna do anything- and sent like 6 people home because nobody was sure what to do -_- so I went to the nickel city place and played some DDR! First time in a long time! And I haven't improved ^o^ But Heidi and Mirae and I wanted to get outta there fast, because 2 busloads of brats came in and started... just... started. Yeah. =_=

Afterwards we went to Starbucks which was closed! And we just had fun listening to me reenact Jack's "I threw away my FAAAAHHHHH Mp3 player" speech ^_^ I think I did a good job. But that cheered Mirae up some. And so I came home, made curry, am having some tea, and being quite laid back at the moment.

I don't want to ruin this moment. ^_^

Take a good fun look at this, Kix. ^_^;

Sadly enough, Kix is probably going to make me go buy it, and then have me make Harry go and do fun things with Draco. But only if I have enough money. The Sony PSone screen is out today! Matt got it, is bringing it to work tomorrow to show me, and I'm going to go get it! That, and tousan will also be coming back from Japan with some CLAMP goods, so phi is out of money until the end of the month ^_^;

Well, the ROP project continues to go smoothly, no problems, yet. I spent the entire day at Mirae's yesterday working on it, and I'm guessing I'm about 25% done o_o So I must work more. Mirae however is taking the cheapy way out and CGing it. Makes us wonder if she actually wants to get into an art school? Well, that's her own thing. I also got to meet the Ryo and Aki that Mirae and Heidi are always squealing about. Yes, Aki is cute... but man. I dunno. Going for younger guys? I guess that's ALSO their thing. ::shrug::

We were all discussing college apps and junk today, again. And college seems to be coming too soon for most of us. I'm not sure a private art college is good for me anymore, and I'm considering UC Irvine now. That, or UCLA... and maybe a private art college. At least here in the state. But all we really want to do is stay back a year or a semester, and travel. Get away. Refuse those job offers right outta college... can't pass up a chance like that can we? Because after college, there won't be any time. For anything.

oush! x_x I got back from the dentist! And I had no idea I had an appointment until I pulled into my driveway! Mommy opened up my window and yelled at me:

"Honey! I'm so glad you're home!"
o_O;
"You have to go to the dentist now. ^_^ "
O_o;

So I'm back! With... unnaturally smooth teeth. No cavitites :D So that was good. I went to lunch with Mirae and Kevin, and I am uber tired -_- I wanna sleep but see, I have this nasty government test tomorrow that I haven't even studied for. So I shall try to get that done in 2 hours...

NEW Problem! Daddy is going to Japan tomorrow. AGAIN. And I have to punch out a shopping list tonight! I need the Sony PSone LCD screen, X17, X singles, Angelic Layer soundtracks, and more! Even though I have almost NO MONEY! (it's okay, paychecks this wednesday... breathe in breathe out.) That, and he's taking the laptop with him! NOW how am I going to show stuff during Anime Club tomorrow?! ::sigh:: Watashi wa ima komarimasuuu.

SATII's today. Japanese was very easy... Math and Writing not so great, but it was okay. Afterwards I just came home, then went out with Jack and Kix again, literally going everywhere, buying junkfood, etc. We went to the homecoming game- we think we won. But we met up with Jen and Patrick, went to Top Cafe, had some late night dinner, saw the internet cafe, and left.

I'm going to spill some very unorganized thoughts. It was all very nice, today. Being with friends and all. Jack took me to see the night-time scenery on top of the mountain. Was very pretty. I saw Orion again- made me think of "watashi dake no hito". Everyone wants to be loved. But maybe need of love isn't what we really need. Is it for me? Lots of people don't know what they really want, need. I don't know what I really want... but right now, I just focus on myself. Even though I get lonely sometimes. It's enough for me. I just know that in the end, everything will be alright. Sounds so cliche doesn't it? But it's true. Follow your heart, and everything will be alright in the end. Because it's my life, I make decisions for myself, share my life with who I want, and nothing else matters.

And it always will be okay. Kitto daijoubu dayo.

So for the ROP project, we're supposed to be illustrating a passage from any book. So I was sitting in the middle of church and I thought: Armageddon. End of the world. Book of Revelations! 9 headed monster or something like that! What a cool scene to draw! So I go home, flip open the Bible, and start reading up from the beginning of Revelation. So today I go to school and show Lisa the passage I'm going to do. It's this:

“And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth… Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world-he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him” (Revelation 12:3-9).

So it goes that I like wings. And I like to draw wings, be them devil wings or angel wings. But this is going to be one dark picture full of ethereal and evil bishies. And an impossible 7 headed dragon. I'm still wondering how a dragon can have 7 heads but 10 horns... x_X Huff. So this also bring up how everyone tends to try to keep a neutral stand when dealing with religion, which is a good thing. But I can notice in just about everyone I talk to that nobody wants to touch the subject. All so edgy. I mean hey, it's Christianity. Not a new thing. Not like I'm going to bite your head off if you don't share my religion. Chill out people. Open mindedness is a good thing. But anyway. Lisa started asking me, "So what is Revelations about?"

"Well, from what I read last night, it's basically junk about the end of the world and how God sends several nasty disasters upon the earth, where a third of the earth is destroyed, a third of man is killed, a third of the ocean is turned to blood, all the result of the collapse of each of the seven seals..."

*kix stares at phi*

::blink blink::

Seven seals. o_o

MY that sounds familiar! I did NOT make that connection to X until today! I feel so pathetic, I didn't even CATCH that while I was reading Revelations! This is HORRIBLE! Phi didn't make the connection quickly enough! AUGH! I feel like SUCH a BAD CLAMP FAN! But I guess in a sense it's okay... otherwise I'd have to read up on the entire Rig Veda. And I DON'T want to do that! But despite that, I'm going to READ Revelations, and study it like a bitch, and from there I shall do the ridiculous task of identifying every slightly metaphorically relevant idea that has been incorporated into X and from there, try to predict how X will end. But CLAMP is twisted. And I will probably be disgustingly mislead as usual.

And fail miserably. But do I look like I give a damn? ^_^

Yeah, work sucked, but it was only good because I bought November Newtype with exclusive CLAMP X cover. ::wipes drool:: XD I should probably get ready for SATII's tomorrow huh...

.... NAAAHHH! *picks up X* ^_~

HAPPY November everyone! It's that time of season~ Turkey, feathers, food, cold, projects, SAT's, and COLLEGE APS! Yes, we're screwed over for the month even though we've got sites to vamp and costumes to make, drawings to finish and weight to lose~ because November just started today. And it'll be okay. For a month at least. But good think phi already has some of her college essay planned out. She just has to work her ass off on some portfolio pieces. Why is she talking in third person anyway?

YES! Going to Japan, and I'm going to be mailing the deposit in tomorrow. Good good~ I also talked with my mom today who was SO nice today, about getting COPICS while in Japan. Since it's cheaper to get it there rather than here... so what they planned to do, was lend me $1000 for the entire set of Copics, and I'd pay them back whenever I wanted. Sounds good to me. ^_^ Time to save up money for CD's and AX. nod nod.

Wooow~ It's a blue moon tonight. And to heighten the mood, I'm listening to Escaflowne's "Hitomi Theme" because it's just really really nice... I feel so at peace now. So many things to say, so little I post now. But I'll make this one a really long entry.

So many things have happened in the last week. Last Saturday, we went with the cosplayers from ARC to go iceskating! And I think Anime Club on Tuesday went really well too. We watched the music videos "Right Now" and "Odorikuru" I think, and episode 1 of Inu Yasha. The laptop was actually cooperating with the TV this time around. The problem last week was that I hadn't hooked up the TV to the laptop prior to turning on the laptop, so no alternate monitor was detected. But all is well, and we'll have our first raffle of the semester in a few weeks.

I won't delve into what happened yesterday that made me cry... about the whole AX and Fanime thing. But that should be resolved in a little bit. I hope everyone involved will be able to cooperate together. But I've gotten a whole bunch of new mp3's from Lisa! THANK YOU LISA-CHAN! ::hug:: I like 99% of the songs on there, fron Angelic Layer, Shaman King, Gravitation, Xenogears, Inu Yasha, and those FF8 orchestrated pieces that I've been wanting to hear for almost a year now. ^_^ I haven't listened to them all yet, but I will soon enough! With all these new mp3's, I hope to get a mp3 player for Xmas, or my birthday.

Speaking of presents, BIG NEWS! I'm SOOO HAPPY! My dad and mom have decided to let me go to Japan! YAY!!! w00t~!!! It's the Japan trip in spring, going with other members of our High School Japanese class. It's for 11 days, and we'll be visiting Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. We'll have SO much free time, this time I'll actually get a chance to look at my surroundings. It's supposed to be my High School Graduation trip, since it's so expensive. The price SHOULD go down if more people sign up, so hopefully that will happen- with senior priority of course. ^_~ I'll hafto save up every penny I get for paychecks now, so by April I'll have enough money for spending! KAIMONO! ONSEN! SAKURA! KAIMONO KAIMONO!! $1000 will be enough, I HOPE. I also wish for graduation present, parents will give me money to buy the entire Copic set over there... most likely not, but I can always hope. It'll be sooo fun!!! This time, Kix, Kenji, Pekkle, and sooo many other people are going, it'll be sooo much fun! Going on a trip to Japan with my friends~ sooo coool ^_^ We plan to take super imposed pictures of Ueno Kouen (pray Sakura blooms that week pray pray pray) And CG and picture of Sei-chan in there- and Tokyo Tower pictures! And I wanna go to the zoo! ;D I can't wait...

The week right after is Fanime, so we'll hafto get our costumes done 2 weeks before we leave. Taihen Taihennn. But when AX comes around, we'll have all our shopping done in Japan a month beforehand already, so not a lot of spending money needs to be brought to AX. Cosplay people!

^_~ Also, today was Halloween party at my house. It was really cool~ we finished our ROP projects early, and went to get the ice skating photos and Jamba juice. Then one by one, everyone came over, and it was really fun except for that one thing that got out of hand~ but in the end it was all okay. Kevin came, Kenji, Pekkle, Chris, Kix, Mirae, Heidi, and even Lisa came! I think Jack might have actually been happy too. We got to play DDR, PPP, TOP, Devil May Cry and Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill 2 I didn't like =( But I liked DMC =) interesting story line. Stories involving heaven and hell seem to attract my attention. Mirae can probably tell. ^_~ Must get working on our manga deshou. Most of our stuff will take place Thanksgiving break and Xmas break, despite Kix and Kenji going to LA during Turkey day. etc. But Projects to take care of during that time are Cosplay! Portfolio! Our MANGA!

I have SAT II's this Saturday. Oooh I'm in sooo much trouble. ^_^;

Sou da. Happy Halloween, minna. Turkey day ga mou sugu kuru kara, minna wa daigaku no koto wo ganbareee!
