I'm writing/drawing a comic about a giant donut for calculus. One day, a giant donut appears in Generic City #1. Why is the donut there? Aliens? Government conspiracy? Mass hallucination due to crack in the pearl milk tea supply? Well, whatever. What really matters is how the hell they're going to get the donut OUT of the city before the seagulls start swarming. (The horror, the horror! Yes, everyone in MV knows how evil seagulls are. Worse than vultures.) All seems lost...until Donut-Man and his sidekick Pastry-Boy arrive on the scene! So how does calculus tie in with this situation? You'll have to read and find out! ^_~
No, I'm not on crack. That I know of. My mom might have slipped something into that strawberry milkshake she gave me, though. Hmmm.
I hate flies. And I have a government AP test tomorrow that I have not studied for. Ever. I'm not even in a government AP class. Doh. So, with that, good night! ^_^ (really will archive next time...promise... -karura didn't study on Tuesday, May 14, 2002, 10:18 p.m.
This is here for the benefit of Kix. However, if I know you IRL, just ask me if you want any of this stuff and I'll burn it for you. :)
Okies, anyways, my digisub list! I think all the licensed ones are off... though I admit I might have missed a few. Bah. Recommendations at the bottom~!

.hack was done by the same people as Noir, so you might like it, Kix. It has kick-@$$ music (though it hasn't been going long enough for me to really decide how much I like the actual show). Lessee, what else is good? Besides .hack, Angelic Layer of course, Argento Soma, Fruits Basket, Gravitation, Hikaru no Go, Noir, Shaman King, and Star Ocean EX. Basically any series I've downloaded into the 'teens. There are a few series that I haven't had a chance to watch at all yet, though, like Scryed and Prince of Tennis and a bunch of others, so just because I don't recommend it doesn't mean it's not good.
Anyways, gotta go start on homework; I'll start burning Shaman King stuff for you, Kix!

Holy #*&$!! Wizzy Wig is preordering Hikago plushies!!!
You realize there's no way I'm not getting those, right? I mean, all of them. That's around $50 for all five, but...they're plushies! PLUSHIES, DAMMIT!! Hikaru no Go plushie cuteness! What is there not to obsess over? Huh? Huh?
I need to archive. -karura didn't study on Saturday, May 11, 2002, 08:38 p.m.
HAL's single for the second Hikago OP, "I'll be the One", is coming out on June 19! See here. Yaayyyy!! ^0^ I like HAL, I like Hikago, it's aaaalllll good. -karura didn't study on Saturday, May 11, 2002, 10:32 a.m.
Just got an email that the Hikaru no Go illustration book is back in stock at jamall. So I reordered it and I am now a very, very happy person. ^0^
And fanart. Here's the Sai colored pencil picture, done. The thumbnail, unfortunately, looks prettier than the big picture. :P

I think I'll color the Angelic Layer picture with Oujiro and Misaki next. It's been moldering in my sketchbook long enough. ...now if only I could find it. -karura didn't study on Thursday, May 9, 2002, 10:43 p.m.

My left thumb is twitching again. Make that half of my left hand. It's disturbing, but not as disturbing as when my eye was twitching a while back. At least it's my left thumb and not my right thumb. How would I write if I couldn't use my right hand? It would be like that time I had two cups of coffee right before taking my literature final and then being all jittery and hyper all through the two in-class essays I had to write. It was bad. It's kinda hard to write when your hand won't stay still.
I think I'll go rewatch more of Fruits Basket now. XD -karura didn't study on Tuesday, May 7, 2002, 09:02 p.m.
Apparently my friend's boyfriend thinks I'm one of the sweetest, nicest people he knows. o_O At least that's what my friend said. And apparently I'm even more special because all of the usual unquestionably nice and sweet people are so quiet and self-effacing and silent, while I will seriously talk your ear off if you give me the chance. In~nteresting. I also hear that he likes the movie room in my house; he wants one when he grows up, big-screen, movie projector, multiple gaming systems, sound system et al. Why are all guys obsessed with that sort of thing? That's what every guy that comes to my house gravitates toward; girls gravitate toward the kitchen and my room. :P My daddy isn't any better! In fact, he's the worst out of all of them. Every night, he shuts himself up in that room and plays Gran Turismo 3 or something for hours, because he just has to get first in that 100 lap race or something. >_> Of course, my dad was the one spitting ice into bushes at Six Flags, along with the rest of the (teenage) guys we were with... So maybe it's a maturity issue instead of a testosterone issue. XD
So, anyway, after being enlightened as to what random people think of me, I saw a picture taken of me last Halloween and my first thought was, Holy CRAP! Since when did I have cleavage? O_O I mean, seriously, I've never been that big. Ever. It must be some weird trick of the light, or something; I dunno. And I will admit, I'm totally flat. Like, really. And I refuse to wear underwires or pads or anything like that, so flat I will stay. So it really surprised me, seeing that picture. (I was tanned then, too!) I'm really proud of it. I'll have to keep that picture. X3 (Ignore the fact that I'm dressed like a freak; I have pink plaid socks on and a flower growing out of my shoe. No, you don't want to know what I'm dressed up as. But really, that doesn't matter! For once in my life, I look like I have cleavage! Woohoo!!
I am so pathetic.
Anyways, today was the calc test. It was seriously not bad at all, except I ran out of time on the first section of the free response. o_O I seriously thought I would have enough time on that one, but I didn't. I hear similar sentiments from others, though, so I don't feel all that bad. Seriously, I can only lose like three points at the most; I set up the entire problem, I just couldn't calculate it because I wasn't allowed to use a calculator during the second half. And the actual answer is only worth like a point, and I had everything else correct in free response (i think) so I doubt I have anything to worry about. So it's dooonnnnee!! No more Calc AP test to worry about! Score~~e!! So anyways, after the calc test, went to go have lunch at Q-Cup with Saara and Christi and Amanda. (yes I ditched seventh period. :P the world will now end...) Then I went to YMCA with Saara and Amanda to exercise, (I died; I'm so out of shape...) and then I came home and watched Fruits Basket 22. I've found that I actually like Motoko. o_O Not with Yuki (yes, I adore Yuki, though many people seem to not like him...) but I like her more now. She doesn't seem quite as blindly obsessive anymore. Which brings me to now. I think I'll go finish my Sai picture. It's looking really good! I'm coloring it (with colored pencils; I've decided that I'm never using paints again :P) and have everything done but about half of the background, so maybe I can post it soon. That'll be cool! The first good piece of artwork I've done this year. >_> Also the first colored pencil piece I've done this year. Notice a correlation? -karura didn't study on Tuesday, May 7, 2002, 05:32 p.m.
XD I found it!!!! wheeee~eeee!!!!
Stop staring at me like that. I found it! I'm so happyy~yyy... Found what, you ask? Why, glad you asked. I found THIS fic again, Ground Level. It's an excellently written alternate universe sci-fi-ish daiken taito Digimon fic that I read sometime last year and then lost the bookmark for. Lately my Daiken ardor has been renewed (I've been developing this urge to rewatch all of Digimon02, too...). I remembered the fic, and starting searching for it again; the only problem was that I didn't remember the title or the hames of the authors, and I was having trouble getting the search engine at FF.net to spit out the right results. BUT. I finally found it today, and not only that, I discovered that the authors had finished it, so not only do I get to read the fic, I get to go into it knowing it's concluded, too, and that I won't be left hanging!! X3 So I'm going to save it for after my first round of AP tests (yes, I do possess self-restraint, surprisingly enough). Makes me energized enough to go back to studying calculus! ...or maybe not. Damn that AP test. -karura didn't study on Sunday, May 5, 2002, 08:10 p.m.
Oops! Forgot to take the Utena test! Surprise surprise, I got...

Now I just need to run around and pine after my shining thing... wait, does he do that in the movie? GARH, I don't know, I haven't watched it yet! And I'm not a genius; if I was, would I be losing every game of go I play with my beginning level computer program? >_> Well, the good news is I learn with every game I lose. The bad news is that I seem to forget to apply what I learn. So grrr. I need to play with a real person who can explain to my what I should do instead of the crappy move I did make. Grrr.
Oh! I decided to take my Lit AP test after all. ^^;; Yes, indecisive. But I read over my AP credit list for Duke and realized that I had misinterpreted it; I do get credit. Except I don't get to skip to a higher level class. But I get credit! Credit is good. So that means I have yet another test to be prepared for. I'm probably not going to bother studying for it; what can you possibly study? You could read over a few novels for the open answer question, I suppose, but screw that! Too much time for the benefit it gives. And I think I'll do fine on the test anyways; I always do well on AP passage m/c's, and essays should be fine as long as I interpret the poetry correctly, and the poems on the AP test usually seem to be pretty easy. So I guess as I long as I don't spazz or something, I should do fine even if I don't do any preparation. Except it's a three-hour test...GRRR!! >_<
Um, lessee; lots to do tomorrow. Physics lab (no, didn't finish it yet), math m/c (2 of them), free responses (2 of them), government project, studying for biology test. And mucho studying for the calculus AP exam. I still can't do series or population problems. It's pathetic. ;_; So I better sleep. One and a half more weeks of being a nerd and I'll be freee~eee!!! ;_; I need a hug. -karura didn't study on Saturday, May 4, 2002, 10:34 p.m.
np: Haruka naru takami he from the Hikago OST
Someone made the Hikago OST available to me. I am happy. *_* As well as several remixes of various OP's and ED's for Hikago (love the extended dance mix of Dream's Get Over X3) as well as ED3 of Hikago, Dream's Sincerely. Further happy!! I'll upload the mp3 sometime soon, because I'm guessing some of you might want it (and maybe its very interesting remix, too. ^^;) I also found out what the title for HAL's Hikago song is! "I'll be the one"; as I thought the single (shouldn't) be out yet, but at least I know the title to watch for now!
Oh, and this evening made me very happy! It was my Grandma's 88th birthday, and though I won't get into the happy details, three significant things happened to me: (a) I received a total of $268 in red envelope money congratulating me for going to Duke and now possess two $100 bills (b) I was asked to be a speaker at my cousin's wedding this October XD and (c) I fell fast asleep on my uncle's couch. ^^;; Okay, so the last one wasn't signficant, but it was the culmination of a week of hard work. So I'm feeling honored, productive, and richer than I was before. ^0^ All good feelings...
As for Great America today... It was hella fun! Went with Parinda, Amanda, Elaine, and Saara, and for a little while Rachel went around with us. I've decided that I adore their new ride Delirium and would've just stayed on it if I could have. (for some reason the ride made me want to write a HikaAki fic...do not ask after my reasons, because I seriously don't know. Note the name of the ride.) And I've been enlightened today, as to the connations of the innocuous question, "Ice or no ice?" >_< I was rather traumatized when it was explained to me. Be glad if you don't know what it refers to. Let's just saw it refers to...to.....garhh, i can't even WRITE it... Bad things. Things my brain refuses to touch. I read the fluffy fics dammit! Stop! NO MORE!! ARGHHH!!!!! (dies) -karura didn't study on Saturday, May 4, 2002, 12:09 a.m.
Heehee, saw new tests, had to do them!
Which Fruits Basket Character are you?
I am? Hmm... Well, considering how often I get the White Mages in the FF tests, and how Tohru is kinda like them, I guess it works... Besides, I like Tohru! XD She really is a sweetheart!

Find your emotion! [?]
I'm not a spazz? Hmm, this test might have a few tiny kinks to work out... Not a spazz. Ha! (but the rest fits pretty well. I always thought I'm a bit too happy most of the time, compared to everyone else. ^^;)
And, finally...

Which movie heroine are you?
TRINITYY!!! X3 I always thought I'd make a good hacker chick. And I look good in black, if I might say so myself. (recalls adventures in gothdom at the mall. fun stuff.) Dunno about the leather thing, but I'm sure I could work it out...
Okay, I'm going to go watch Hikaru no Go now. ^_^
-karura didn't study on Thursday, May 2, 2002, 09:14 p.m.
X3 Today has been amusing.
Okay, besides the (3) tests I took (only two of which I knew about), which were pretty okay anyway, it's mostly just been little things. Like, at lunch, me and Melissa and Sarah were talking about the Cancun trip and how Amanda's mom was getting all pissy about it because she heard about all the...uh...things that happened there. And how Amanda told her mom, Look at who's going on the trip! Lisa and Sarah! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. And Sarah got all pissy (like really pissy) because she got put in the same category as me; yep, Lisa's a real raver/party animal! Put her in a bar and wow! Look out, there's no legal drinking age in Mexico! (can you recognize sarcasm when you see it?) So anyways, Sarah got all pissy because she was being compared to me (no offense to me of course. I know I'm boring. :P). It was very funny. And then we all hid Parinda-darling in the booth because...yes. Issues. Poor Parinda-darling. >_< And what else? Ah! I really wanna see Fanime Masquerade tapes! Kix and Philana made me all hyped up about it. WAHHH!! I loves the whole moogle thing. Moogle: "blahblahblah-kupo!" Others: "? Kupo?" Moogle: "...what? What do you expect me to say, -mooglemoogle? I'm not a frickin' Pokemon!" X3 And the Angelic Layer skit! Wizard! Hikaru! The Sexy Beam!! Whheeeeeee!!! Yes, if anyone has a tape of those skits, I'd absolutely love to see them. ;_; (Was there Oujiro and Misaki material in there too? You all know I loves Oujiro and Misaki.)
Err, what else? Oh, Calculus BC AP practice test #3! I got a 5 on it, people! By a good margin! So that makes me very condident that I'll do well on the AP test next Tuesday (eek! coming up so soon!) and that makes me very happy. Free Response ownz. (In Free Response, I get twice the amount of points I get in MultiChoice on a normal day. Which is kinda sad, if I think about it.) And I've also decided to ditch the English Literature AP exam next Monday. Egad! you gasp. Lisa ditching a test? How? Why? Is the world coming to an end? Well, I don't know about the end of the world part. But I'm ditching the test because Duke doesn't count it for AP credit and I don't really want to take a 3 hour test (2 hours of essay writing) if I don't have to; maybe last year, but definitely not this year. So I'm saving up my energy (and neurons) for the Calculus test instead. :) The only reason I feel guilty about ditching it is because we paid $70 for it already; but oh well. It wouldn't do me any good if I took it anyway. Except bragging rights, and I don't really care about those that much. Umm, what else? Oh, I'm also ditching the MacroEconomics and Comparitive Government tests! That still leaves me with 4 AP tests to take, but oh well. Ith okay. The only one I really care about is the Calc one...maybe the Bio one. But I'll probably take Bio over again in college anyway, because it'll probably required for my major (probably biomedical engineering, at this point, unless I decide to switch out of the engineering school and major in humanities; either way, I'll have to make sure I have the prerequisites for med school covered just in case I decide to apply). So, yes. My next two weeks = AP tests. Fun. But after that... There is nothing to bar me from being a second semester senior!! (Except making sure I don't get any C's. But seriously, that shouldn't be much of a problem.) Besides that, tomorrow I go to Great America for Physics Day! Probably won't get to really go on any rides, though, because I have to do a lab while we're there in which we're given a graph of a ride's altitude and acceleration (or lateral and longitudinal acceleration) against time, and we have to figure out which roller coaster it is. And prove why it's that roller coaster. o_O Eewww. But it does mean I get to sleep in a little later than usual. :) Now if you'll excuse me, I have DaiKen fanfics to read. X3 -karura didn't study on Thursday, May 2, 2002, 05:08 p.m.
Fanime today! I didn't find Hikaru no Go stuff. ;_; Note to self: when at AX, make beeline for Dealer Room and clean out the (scarce) Hikaru no Go stuff before another fan does. It sounds mean. It sounds cut-throat. That's because it is. I'm desperate, people! REAALLY desperate! And Kenji didn't find his moogle doll either because other fans cleared them out the day before, and that was sad! So Kenji can come with me to crash the Dealer Room at AX as soon as it opens. HA! But I did buy stuff. Mostly from the YaoiCon/Aestheticism booth. :P No, I didn't buy the 'special' doujinshi. (though I AM legal to. I just couldn't find anything I wanted. :PThere, spoiled the innocence image for you enough?) What I did buy was a fluffy Harry Potter doujinshi for my sister. It's KYUTE!! Also a Digimon02 shounen-ai book that's...ummm...... o_O Yeah, that's about all I'll say. That, and it needs more Ken in it. Nevertheless, the art's pretty nice, for a clearly gag comic. Unfortunately, thanks to my first dj-buying spree, now I'm eyeing the Hikago doujinshi at Bookmart. Must...resist.... Besides that, I also bought a nice new Deleter pen (0.2! my Sakura micron ran out) and a prettypretty bookmark buy one Stephanie Lau who does the prettiest watercolor pictures I've ever seen. I don't know if I should be inspired or jealous. It's really a mixture of both. The only other thing I really did at Fanime was sit with Jen at her table in Artist's Alley (her Lulu pic was sooo pretty! go visit her site if you haven't! Jen is 1337. X3) and while I was sitting there, I drew a picture of Sai, from Hikaru no Go. I like it. I'll scan it sometime. Maybe I'll do prints or something. It probably won't really sell like the prints for popular series, but it's really just for self-gratification anyway. SAAIII!!! XD And I found Phi and Kix, lost them, found Kenji, lost him, found Phi, lost her, Kix found me, I lost her, and I found and lost and found Kenji again, all in the Dealer's Room. Next time I'm bringing my cell phone.
And I saw a Hikaru cosplayer. As in Hikaru no Go. WAI!!! Seeing her made me decide that I WILL do Sai for AX after all. Yaayyy!! A Sai with glasses, though. Oh well. With the hat and the sleeves and all that, I'll be a pretty unmistakeable walking Hikaru no Go advertisement anyway. If I can manage to make the costume before AX. Well, after AP tests, maybe...
This entry's been pretty uninteresting. I'm getting boring with old age. ;_; Must go do homework now. Physics lab to do. Oh, and the new incentive for me to study: I've decided that after the calculus AP test next Tuesday, I'm going to drive over to Kunokuniya and pick up the Hikaru no Go "Go"rgeous Character Book. Woohoo~ooo!!! (I've heard there's a picture of an older Akira in it, with longer hair. X3 I. Want.) Kuno's should have it in stock, right? I mean, this IS Kunokuniya... But even if they don't, I can just pick up volume 16 or something. Or I'll drive over to Totoro Comics and see if the chinese v.16 has come out yet. And if it hasn't, I'll just buy myself some pearl milk tea to calm myself. See, I have it all planned out!! Now I have to think up an incentive for finishing the bio AP test the Tuesday after the calculus AP test... Hmm... Well, I'm sure I'll think of something! Anyways, homework. You know, this pitas layout is not working out for me very well. I should have saved it for after AP tests. -karura didn't study on Saturday, April 27, 2002, 08:10 p.m.
Hey, Kenji! Still wanna drive to Fanime together? I just realized that I have to drive on 237 to get to the Westin, and I am deathly afraid of 237. >_< I got very lost on 237 once. And I don't know HOW I'd get back home... So, yes. Would you like to drive me, Kenji? Pleease? I guess, call me at 1:00PM tomorrow, I should be home by then from the calculus practice test; I'll e-mail you my phone number. Either that or blog back. Actually, I was considering not going to Fanime because I'm so deathly afraid of getting lost going either to or from the Westin. Yes, I'm a wuss. A CAREFUL wuss. So there. :P Thank you sooo much Kenji! ^0^ -karura didn't study on Friday, April 26, 2002, 11:58 p.m.
I just aced my calculus flashcard test. X3
No, really! I did! I knew every one of the questions COLD. Well...except for the fundamental theorem with a function as a limit of integration one; it was an application question, and I had never actually APPLIED that theorem before. >_< So I knew the form of the answer [f(g(x))g'(x)! Ha!] but was confused because I didn't know where the other limit of integration went. It just disappeared. O_o But besides that point of confusion, I ACED that test. X3 Good thing too, because I've been studying for it all week. Hauling around 80 flashcards of the mathematical persuasion everywhere you go (though not actually studying them most of the time ^^;) does NOT contribute to the image I wish to cultivate this year of a ditz who is inflicted with heavy senioritis. It just does NOT work. People tend to give me Looks. (Phi. Kenji. You WOUND me.) But I am DONE with those blasted flashcards for GOOD!! ...now I just have to worry about the Calc AP Test. Which is in...about 10 days. Damn.
And I now have Sai and Hikaru on my keychain. X3 I LOVE YOU, PHILAANNAAAA!!! If you ever need ANYTHING, just come to me. (well, it would be better if it didn't involve me being athletic, but I guess I can live with it) *does the hikago keychain dance, which is remarkably similar to the hikago is downloading dance*
Somebody smack me, because I want to get a subscription to Weekly Shounen Jump and (a) I don't have $200+ to burn (b) I can't read Japanese (c) I really only want to read Hikaru no go, even though Naruto and Shaman King sound nice too and (d) I can't read Japanese. If you're my friend, please stop me. NOW. It's kinda like the strait-jacket thing. You know what I'm talking about. X3
Fanime tomorrow. I'll only get to go there a few hours, but it's only my first anime convention EVER, so maybe it would be better if my first experience isn't too overwhelming, otherwise it might scare me away. Besides, my main motivation for going is to buy a whole bunch of Hikaru no Go merchandise. X3 Woohooo!! Maybe they'll have the chinese manga volume 16 there! Or not. I'll settle for the new Character Book in Japanese. Or even volume 16 in Japanese. I'm this desperate. >_< Aanyways... Going to do some homework b/f Fanime tomorrow. EGAD! you gasp. Homework? Friday night? Ne~erd.
And I really have nothing I can say in response to that. Oh well. Later, people!

Dude. Count on the first fanfiction I've EVER finished writing to be a Hikago fanfic. >_< (yes, the forewarned fic has arrived. Be afraid. Started it and finished it today. Six f***ing pages of the must boring shit I've ever read. If you actually want to read it, I'm typing it up. Maybe I'll hide it on my website somewhere.)
And Hikaru no go ep 24 just finished downloading off IRC. And ep 23 just started downloading. (laugh not at my non-chronological ways!) Ahh, Hikagoo!! (writhes in Hikaru no go-induced ecstasy) Now I all need is a new Toriyama World chapter, maybe volume 16 in Chinese, and I would be the most happy f***ing person in the world. *_* (I don't know where all the swearing is coming from.

One thing you do NOT want to hear yourself saying is "Woohoo! I'm urinating normally again!" O_o <--- is what you're thinking, right? Well, I've got a perfectly reasonable, relatively ungross explanation for it: over break I managed to consume some bad meat and have been suffering the effects of food poisoning ever since. The "ewws" are now appropriate. Because it was very "ew." I was vomiting up BILE, people. BILE. The bitter yellow stuff that comes from your f***ing LIVER. And blood, for a little while. Major eww. The rest of the time I was throwing up water, because that was all I could get down. >_< And I did a lot of that; vomiting water, I mean. At first, I threw up every ten minutes or so, or any time I walked more than five feet. Thankfully, I'm pretty much better now, except that I can't eat anything with more substance than chicken noodle soup and toast, and am considering becoming a vegetarian. I NEVER want to go through with this ever again. As for the urinating part... You can't very well urinate if you vomit up everything you eat, can you? So if I'm urinating, I'm digesting again! Nutrients are getting into my system! That is a GOOD thing. However, thanks to this whole food-poisoning thing, I can't go to Florida next week for the Robotics Competition. Meep. >_< My parents say I'm too weak to handle the trip over there, AND keep up with my schoolwork, AND not manage to get myself deathly ill just in time for the AP tests. And I have to admit that they're right. I barely have the energy to type right now, let alone run around Epcot Center and run and scream and cheer and eat unhealthy foods and bake outside and freeze inside and handle jetlag and redeye flights..... >_< Yeah, my parents are right. There's no way I can make the Florida trip in the state I'm in. Oh well. Guess I'll study for the AP tests instead. Joy.
Oh, and I don't know when Phi and Kix are coming back from the Japan trip, but welcome back anyways! ^0^ Hope you had tons of fun, lotsa luck shopping, and nice homestay families! Nice homestay families make the trip even happier. Like when I went to Ireland and I was on the rag, the homestay mother was doing just that; mothering me. Sooo nice! X3 Err, besides that, see yous tomorrow! I think.
And it's decided; I'm going to Duke after all. Why, you might ask? Why North Carolina? Why BASKETBALL? You hate jocks, Lisa! Well... It might actually be good for me, being among so many sporty type people; it might inspire me to exercise! Egad! Besides, the Duke reception I went to (thankfully BEFORE the food-poisoing incident) was very impressive. The people were incredibly nice and very informative, and besides, the campus is beautiful (it has "Arthurian forests", as one book put it; it has a f***ing FOREST, people!) and the negatives me and my parents thought we'd found concering Duke aren't as big as we thought. So, Duke! Wow. O_O College. Wow.
On a final note, my obsession with Hikaru no Go has been renewed. Again. (This happens every time I watch a new episode or pick up my manga volumes for a quick flipthrough.) THERE'S NOOO HIKAGO fanfiction out there! It makes me sad. It almost makes me want to write something myself. *shudders* Oh, no. Wouldn't want to inflict that on anyone. Still! Want Hikago fanfics! WAHHHH!!! The Hikago doujinshi sector seems to thrive, though; dammit, I can't afford to start collecting doujinshi too! (not that I'd know where to start looking, actually...) Oh well... Must take mind of Hikago. Must study for AP tests. Yuck. AP tests... Dammit, Duke doesn't count the English AP tests anyway! Why do I even bother...? Well, there's still Bio, and Calculus BC, and Government, and Macro and Micro Econ to study for... Lots to do, lots to do... -karura didn't study on Sunday, April 21, 2002, 01:30 p.m.

Lookey!! I finally made a new layout!! ^0^ Aren't you proud of me? Took me forever to get around to doing this... The sad thing was how little time it took me to code this layout once I got around to it. Humph. As for the layout itself... Oujiro!! Except I like the anime Oujiro better than the manga Oujiro, because the whole panties thing in the manga weirded me out. O_o Still, Oujiro is cool, and I like him with Misaki. X3 Now if only I could be so decisive about who I like with Tohru in Fruits Basket... Oh, and Phi, Kix, have tons of fun in Japan! (a little late, but whatever...) And I still haven't figured out what the free kleenex thing is about. Yes, I'm really this dense. Pity me. (really, what IS it about? Just tell me!! Pleeasssee?)
And the one minute update on Lisa's life: it turns out I AM going to senior prom....with a date. I have no clue how it happened. I think I was set up.
As for colleges, right now it looks like I'm going to Cornell! I had a rant prepared on the whole decision process, but I don't feel like posting it anymore, so it looks like Cornell, unless I go to Duke. And I don't like basketball THAT much... Now if you'll excuse me, I have the last volume of Escaflowne to watch. (yes, it's taken me this long.) I sooo don't want to study for my AP tests... (thus, the layout. ^_~) -karura didn't study on Saturday, April 13, 2002, 02:10 p.m.
