Oh, and happy birthday! *Yuzu, Kusa and Inuki come out wearing party hats and carrying a huge cake* Hope it's a good one ^_____^

Thank you for the X 15 screenshots! *snuggles* Anou... he looks a little scary when he's holding Daisuke, am I the only one who's a bit creeped out by that expression? I'm expecting him to do a Brad Crawford glasses-flash and kill someone. o.O;;;;

Speaking of Weiss Kreuz, yesterday I picked up the first DVD, and last night I watched the outtakes and the first episode. The outtakes are freakin' hilarious, I loved the wedding scene done in Cartman's voice XD and oddly enough I've only seen half of the first episode, so it was interesting to finish it off. I was very disappointed in cute glasses boy. Although I'm not quite sure why he had big pretty bishonen eyes while he was being nice, but the moment he went evil his eyes went squinty and slanty and beady. Impressive lil' trick there, uh huh. --;;;; And then I went off and played some Gran Turismo and lost every race, then had inspiration for the Really Weird Post-Promised-Day Fic, wherein Kamui will be taking advice from Kotori's floating disembodied ghost head. ... I should really not brainstorm for fics at one in the morning. XD

I know, I'm evil. *snicker* Awww, of course he leeervs her, it's meant to be after all. ^_~ I now have even more evidence with which to torture you all, go read this if you want the truth... you want the truth? you can't HANDLE the truth! ... ehehe, anyhow. hehehe

*cracks up* Very amusing. I can relate to the issues with describing body parts-- I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't really like it when people use "cock" and stuff like that in lemons. Makes me feel dirty. XD "The rainbow's getting longer"... oh god *falls over* XD XD XD

Well, last night's chorus trip was actually kind of fun. The rehearsal part wasn't, except for the lady who we were all convinced was smoking something and that she ought to be sharing it with us. XD But the concert was really good. Unfortunately, we were probably the worst performers, not because we didn't sound good (although the guys kinda died on all their solo parts... which may have been preferable actually, because in rehearsal they were wailing on the high notes and sounding like dying cats o.o;;;), but because the pieces we did were so boring compared to the other groups'. Everyone else did really upbeat stuff, while we had two slow boring pieces and "Here Comes the Sun", which would've been good if we had known what we were doing, but we didn't. ><;;; The other groups were great, though, and there were a few really adorable guys whose children I would bear in like half a second. What can I say, I'm a sucker for musicians. ^^;;; The guys' group from Westfield was called the Ape-Men, and they were awesome... they did a song from Newsies, in overalls and sleeveless shirts, and most of them were really hot. So, yeah, the female members of our choir became total fangirls for that ten or fifteen minutes of the show XD In any case, it was fun. But we gotta get better so we don't embarrass ourselves anymore. ><;;;

See which Greek Goddess you are.

Hehe, I'm the patron goddess of prostitutes... Karen's a sort of prostitute... *smirk*

Anne! *glomp* I was just wondering if you were ever coming back. o.o;;; I'm sorry you've had such a busy schedule-- work sucks, and it sounds like you've been doing a lot of it o_o Glad you're back, in any case, and of course I'm not angry. ^____^ Glad you are enjoying the fic. And hey, Subaru's been missing his Seishirou, so if you have time, stop by, ne? ^_~

Are you two ever going to be on in the evening again? o.o;;; I know Harvest Moon is terribly compelling and all that, but I kind of would like to talk to you every now and then. If it wouldn't be too much hassle. (If you're busy for some other reason, all apologies, but honestly, it makes me feel a little pathetic that I'm not as interesting as a video game about farming. heh)

Don't have much time, but I thought I'd do a few of these social replies before they get any older. o_o;;;

Point well taken (although the post has been archived, bleh to me for being so damned busy ~~;;;). You love Subaru, I love A&K, we shall just have to agree to disagree. ^_^ They are dragging out the fight, but that's got more to do with keeping readership active, I think. Stupid CLAMP, they're doing this to keep tension and cliffhanger-ness in the manga without putting any of the fan-favorite characters in danger. Sneaky. ><;;;;

*patpat* Daisuke's death might just affect me this time around (in the manga I was kinda like... "haha... no more head... oooh, A/K sap! *flips pages*" ^^;;;). It sounds pretty sad, especially with the flashback and all. As for Aoki not crying, perhaps it is because Dai told him not to. He seems like the kind of guy who would keep that sort of promise (and the one about Karen, too! weee! ... oh wait that would mean she's dead, no weee :_:). *sniffles* He's so the perfect gentleman... Well, anyway. ^^;;; hehehe

Alright, gotta go to some stupid choir thingy. ><;;; Will reply more later.

A few things I've forgotten to mention...

The other day I had what has to be the most surreal conversation in the entire world. We're sitting in the car, on the way to somewhere or another, and somehow I get on the topic of how men suck (it's a fun topic for me, really XD). My dad, being an asshole as usual, makes some reference about how I have to put up with them unless I want to turn gay. And somehow that leads into a lengthy speculative conversation about my sexual orientation. -.- The funny part was, my mom kept insisting that there was no possible way I could ever swing the other way, although she wouldn't be angry or upset or anything if I did, she just thinks it's completely implausible and out of character for me. Which shows how well my parents know me. *snicker* I thought it was interesting that apparently neither of them would disown me or anything if I ever did confess to having such tendencies. 'Cause I thought my dad was a total homophobe. He's just got a thing about gay men though; for some reason he thinks "gay man" and "pedophile" are the same thing *rolls eyes* go figure. In any case, it was seriously weird and freaked me out a lot. o.o;;;

This is fun. I put my blog through it, and within the gobbledygook was this oddly Zen statement:

I could
be very happy, but
I honestly don't know where

.... o_o.

And now for something completely different:

AokisWindMachine: .... fucked in the head, hmm, well I know a few people who are of the opinion that he is repressing some terrible thing that happened to his family in the past and is really making it all up o_o there's actually enough evidence to back it up, it amuses me lol
EcchiCorvette: ....
EcchiCorvette: dude i said that like a billion years ago lmao
AokisWindMachine: well i know you did but you didn't say he was crazy lol
EcchiCorvette: shimako is ...actually his drug dealer!
AokisWindMachine: at least i don't think you did o.o
AokisWindMachine: *snicker* indeed
EcchiCorvette: oh no no, hes a quite normal guy
EcchiCorvette: and uhh.. Yuka is uhh...his....uhh...pimp?
AokisWindMachine: Yuka is his goldfish XD
EcchiCorvette: whatever lol i like the pimp better
AokisWindMachine: he named his kid after his pimp? there's some repressed issues THERE lol
EcchiCorvette: so aoki is like karen's bitch ya know? karen is actually fighting yuka on the side
EcchiCorvette: so she can get total hoe control of Aoki
AokisWindMachine: XD
EcchiCorvette: dude theres no kid lmao
EcchiCorvette: Yuka is his pimp lmao, who treats him bad and doesnt give him enough money for his work
EcchiCorvette: thats why theyre not in the manga
AokisWindMachine: well i know, i meant his imaginary kid :P
EcchiCorvette: cause theyre shady underground people
EcchiCorvette: oh yeah
AokisWindMachine: poor baby XD I bet Karen would be a good pimp lmao
EcchiCorvette: so karen is trying to kick Yuka's ass so she can get exclusive rights to Aoki's ass
EcchiCorvette: yes, she's mahvalous
AokisWindMachine: a noble goal indeed ^___^
EcchiCorvette: she actually runs a nice pimp service at the Flower
EcchiCorvette: that place is filled with hoes with hearts of gold i tell you
EcchiCorvette: Karen only chooses the best, and well, Aoki's the best around lmao
AokisWindMachine: hai hai ^___^ hehehe

Yes, the truth at last. What CLAMP isn't telling us. XDDD

Asuka updates! (Spoilers ahoy.) Well, as you can probably tell by the fact that I'm not screaming and cursing CLAMP, they aren't dead yet. And this month's installment WAS very cute, and I would be absolutely overjoyed if not for being worried about next time. As it is, I'm still pretty happy. Hugging and meaningful looks are good. Running off to a hotel room would be better, but I'll take what I can get.

So, what are my predictions, you ask? Good question. (Yes, of course you want to know. Sit down and shut up. XD) As depressing as this is, I think next issue will be the last time we get to see Karen alive. *sniffle* It's the whole two kekkais thing, combined with the "I'll cry for you" bit... she's doomed. :_: 'Course, it could go the other way, 'cause he seems dead set on protecting her (awww...). Damn CLAMP, they're not even giving me any clues I can work off of. Another month of torture... *sighs dramatically* hehe. Oh, and I think if something bad's gonna happen, it'll happen next month. Because I swear, for the past few years, the crappiest events of the year have occurred in February. Damn that month, it has Valentine's Day and bad weather and no time off school, besides. ><;;;

Hey, that's a little harsh, don't you think? o.o;;; It doesn't make sense to complain about the amount of time being spent on them and then turn around and say they're not well-developed enough for you to be interested in them... maybe this is a chance for them to be more well-developed? *shrug* I for one am glad they're getting some attention. Let me have my fun now, they'll be gone soon enough, to make room for what the public clearly wants-- more repetitive angst from generic pretty boys. (I'm kidding. ... Sort of. *coughs* XD) No offense to anyone, but I've wanted to say the same thing about Subaru occasionally (i.e. "just kill him and get him out of the way" XD). I think he's overrated-- not that he isn't a good character, but I don't know why people love him so much more than all the other characters, to the point that they get irritated when the other characters get any screen time at all. But you know, if I said that, I'd have 18 million fangirls out for my blood. *sighs* (gomen nasai if I sound bitchy or anything. I'm having a horrid long endless week, I'm tired, and I am incredibly protective of those two particular characters. ^^;;;)

OK, sorry about that. I'm just... yeah. In a ranty mood. XD

Yay! Looking forward to seeing the next "H&H" bit, then. ^_~ That medical thing is really, really messed up. *shivers* Makes me glad I'm healthy... o.o;;;

No, Daisuke wasn't beheaded on the TV series. I guess that would've been too gory or controversial or whatever. ^^;;; And I'm gonna update your link as soon as I finish this entry XD

Alison, I hope your kitty is okay. Thanks muchly for the updates, as usual. ^___^

I'm gonna stop now before I go off on another rant. Sheesh, people. A month without Subaru is honestly not the end of the world, really. ^^;;;;

*bounce* The domain will be up soon, yay! I may or may not be moving this blog, since Pitas' servers haven't sucked half as much as usual in the past few days, and Blogger tends to make my brain cry. In the meantime, I have a new e-mail address that amuses me to no end, although thus far it's been a little slow. I don't care, though. It's cute. *snuggles it* XD sooo, yeah, you can still reach me at the old one, but... I like the new one better ^_____^

And this is the part where I all of a sudden remember what day it is, and start screaming. Two more days! WAHHH! In all the plotting for the domain last night, I completely forgot. *clings to plushie* :_:

Hmmm, alternate titles for blog... as you all are aware, I am horrid with titles, and the only reason I came up with this one is because I was listening to DMB waaaaayyy too much. But if I hadn't picked this song to title it, I might've picked "The Dreaming Tree", 'cause it just sounds pretty. XD I'm rather fond of your last option, personally. *snicker* But, um, you just figured out you were a clique/webring whore? *runs* XD

Sorry I'm so late on this, but congratulations Beth, for nabbing the admin spot on CFFML. You'll do a great job. ^____^ Ne, am I just suffering from wishful thinking here, or can I take your recent question on the ML as an indication that A&K will be making an appearance in "Home and Heart"? 'Cause that would make me happy, yes it would. ^___^

Your metaphysical wank sounds intriguing. XD No, I've never seen any sexy Catholic priests, all of the ones I've come in contact with have been rather old and unattractive. And hmm, Subaru/Kamui may be shotacon, depending on your definition of the term. Kamui IS 15. *ponders* hehe

I would like to interrupt this social blogging to give my computer a big, fat, flying fuck you. Because my speaker cable are shot. And because it's trying to tell me our domain isn't online yet when it god damn well is. *throws things*

Teehee, Genki briefs, how cute! As for "peachie" written on Keiichi's unmentionables, I have absolutely no comment. It's too bad you don't have a tracker, 'cause I bet you're gonna get some interesting hits now that you've stated "penis" several times. Hey, look, I said it too. *welcomes the perverts* hehe. I didn't know Gandalf-dude was gay. He's cool. In the battle of "old guys in major epic movie events", he kicks Richard Harris' ass. I couldn't get into RH's performance, maybe because I found out before I saw the movie that he didn't really want to take the role... *shrug*

Hai, I have been working on Broken Wings, but... not part 3. o_o Last night I just got hit with inspiration for a scene that will probably happen at the end of the fic. Yeah, real helpful now. ><;;; It's a decent scene though, and surprisingly polite considering it's written from the POV from my most hated character in the series. (Cookie to anyone who knows who it is. *smirk*)

Legolaaassss *grin* nice nice! And I really, really need to read "Revelation". I hope you'll forgive me for not having read it thus far. I'm a lazy slob, and, well, I'll just come out and say it, fics about the fabulous four usually don't catch my attention because there are just so many of them. ^^;;; But, it sounds really original and different, and I've heard a lot of good stuff about it. So I will get on with the reading and then give you my highly educated and intelligent *coughchoke* opinion. XD

*sniffles* Lika-chan, what is it with you and having Karen and Yuuto get married? XD But I can deal with flamey-angry-beautiful Karen, indeed, I can. ^___^ *huggles* Be strong, be strong! We'll get through Thursday. Sucky part is, I have to go to work as soon as I get home from school on Thursday, so I'll either be depressed because I already know what happened, or twitchy and nervous because I don't know yet. Either way, it won't be fun. (There is a slim chance I could be very happy, but I don't think CLAMP will be that nice.) But when I get home, I plan to throw myself a little pity party. And whine to anyone who will listen, but that went without saying. hehe

Guess who doesn't want to go to work today? I think it's me...

OK, well, the post I'm replying to has since been archived, but wahhhh! Your husband can be a fanfiction elitist all he likes, but dangit, you just don't stand in the way of A/K smut. You just don't. XD I have faith that you can make it in character, and even if it isn't I'll still love it to death because perfectly IC Aoki (or taking him at face value rather than looking for other motivations, to put it differently) tends to make me puke. Family family blah blah blah. *whaps him upside the head and throws him at Karen* GET A CLUE! ... umm, I'm okay. ^___^

I am rather fond of whiny angsty alternative music, but I'm rather whiny and angsty myself, so that would explain it. *snicker* And I liked your explanation of the S/K scene, especially the first one. "Subby-Puppy Goes to the Vet" ... oh god. XD XD

*HUGGLES* You knock that off right now or I'm gonna fly down (up, over, whatever) there and smack you, and then hug you. Um... tough love, yeah. ^^ In any case, you have every right to be stressed out right now, but don't start thinking you have no friends or any of that. If your friends at school are not being supportive, fuck them. You have us, I know it would be better to have people actually there at times, but... it's something, at least. *gives much love and glomps* Rant to me if you need to, I'll be home at 4.

Alright, really gotta run. ^^;;;;;

Field trip day! *bounces* Well, we just went to the local college library, but it was fun, because we didn't really have all that much to do... everyone else had to do research for their senior essays, but I've already written mine, so all I had to do was find one poem that I could compare to one of William Blake's. So I basically spent the whole time wandering around and making fun of my friend Rhonda for being a shotakon. *snicker* Then we went to Ponderosa, where I quickly lost my appetite because of the reference to Drew's used condom. Never a dull moment. XD

Lika-chan! *huggles* Thanks so much for the book! I almost bought it the other day... it's a good thing I didn't XD I'm looking forward to reading it! And the card was very sweet, too. ^____^ I'm starting the Karen fic tonight, will hopefully have something to post by the end of the weekend.

*patpat* You can complain about CLAMP's ignoring of Keiichi all you like, 'cause it sucks. But hey, don't lose hope yet! He might still get a tarot card. ^^ I'm not altogether sure I like the direction the TV show is taking either, seeing as it's highly likely that A&K's friendship was not considered important enough to the plot to say much about. *sigh* I'm hoping that at least the battle with Nataku and Yuuto will be left intact (except, um, they can leave out the Yuuto/Karen bantering and I won't be too heartbroken ^^;;;). They will not cut the fruit knife bit, or I will physically harm somebody. *growl* And Subaru not losing his eye stinks too. Blar to you, TV series.
You're right about the friend thing, I'm just paranoid. I have a tendency to assume that people are only friends with me because something better hasn't come along yet, and that it eventually will, and I'll get screwed over. Maybe 'cause it's happened so many times before. ~~;;;

*gives your emotional fangirl within a cookie* Seishirou's not dead, he's frolicking in the land of sunshine and ponies! (Or something like that. I haven't read HPT in ages. XD) And oooh, molestation. *beam* lol

*twitchtwitch*

I can't exactly decide what kind of mood I am right now. Five minutes ago I was sad because the fic on FF.net that I recommended a few days ago pulled a really evil twist and had really unpleasant things happen. :_:

Then I saw this. The pummelling will now commence. MARIA! *shriek* You... the lemon... AHHH! ^________^ ... ahem. So, what's this idea that we will kill you for? Is it the bad kind of killing or the good kind? (OK, that doesn't make sense, but um, you know what I mean. I hope. XD) AGH! Too much anticipation!

.... you know, it's times like this when I really wonder if I'm not a little too obsessed. *snerk*

Aaaaanyway. If all that means what I hope it means, I will be forever indebted to you, and you can, like, have my firstborn child or something. I hope you finish it soon. Hey, at least I'll have something to look forward to after next Thursday... >< Oh, and about Wings of Desire... I wouldn't worry too much about continuity. If you wanna write WAFF, go for it. ^__^

I changed the background color, so hopefully you can see the text without highlighting now. *swears at Virtue.nu* Thanks for the happy birthday wish... and hey, happy birthday yourself! *throws confetti* ^___^

Poor Keiichi! *pouts* Can't believe the poor kid's getting the shaft, along with the CCD guys, apparently. Wonder if there was copyright conflict with CCD? I don't see any reason why they couldn't have used Nokoru instead of that random guy... ah well. Who knows what goes on in the minds of CLAMP and the animators... hehe

Thanks! ^___^ Hmm, I didn't know you couldn't put a slash at the end of Pitas URLs... I guess I never really noticed... the server's being worked on, so maybe that's just a side effect. ><

Ooh, you know I am terribly fond of your original fics, so... yeah... write more! But first write that other fic. Yeah. *cough* I wish I had your writing stamina, I really do. Most of the time when you sit down and say you're gonna write, you actually end up writing. Most of the time when I sit down and say I'm gonna write, I stare at the screen, type a few words, delete them, stare at the screen some more, then give up and run off to look at blogs or check MBs or something of the sort. ^^;;;

Blaaaarrr. CLAMP's gonna pay for my therapy, I tell you. XD

Just got back from an NHS ceremony. It was okay, not as long and boring as I expected it to be, and it was fun seeing all my friends and being dorks (as we always do when we're together ^^;;;). However, certain parts sucked, which actually leads nicely into my first bit of social bloggage. (My apologies if the links don't work; Pitas is still being weird, is anyone else noticing it or is it just my comp? o_o)

I was all set to agree with you on your whole "happy and single" thing, 'cause that's pretty much how I was feeling up until tonight. Unfortunately, being around sappy PDA-ful couples tends to sap all the emotional strength and contentedness with being single right out of me. One of my good friends and her boyfriend spent the entire time tonight flirting, cuddling and doing all that sort of thing. Then another of my friends started talking about how lonely she was without a boyfriend and how badly she wanted a relationship. Greaaaat. *sigh* So, that put me in a lovely mood. Point being, Ammie, I quite admire you for being able to hold that point of view. And that thing you said about your best friend switching her attentions from you to her husband is actually my greatest fear... I don't know how important I am to my friends, but they are important to me, and selfishly I don't want them to go off and concentrate all their time and attention on a significant other. I'm a self-centered bitch, I know. ^^;;;; As for the whole "why not a woman" thing... ah, screw socially acceptable XD I say love whoever you happen to love, gender doesn't matter. (That's one thing anime has done for me. I'm far more open-minded than I used to be. ^^)

Can't believe I forgot to comment on the story! It moved me to tears and changed my life. *sniffles* XD I hope Aoki is being nicer to you now. And... screw legal! *molest molest molest* LOL

Thanks. ^^ I certainly hope CLAMP is merciful. 8 days to go... I haven't bit my nails in four years, but I might just start. *nervous twitch* :/

Thank you as well ^___^ And *squeal* an A/K supporter, besides! I'm obsessed, as you can most likely tell quite easily from my blog. XD

Hai, Seiichirou fans are few and far between. But those I have come across have been quite cool (with excellent taste ^_~). Always nice to meet another one; at least I know there's one more person who will remember him after CLAMP brutally murders him. :_: Umm... I mean... I still have hope! Really! I do! *cries*

Yes, yesterday went without any other injuries, but this morning I slipped on some ice and fell on my ass on the sidewalk in front of my house... does that count? ^^;;; I'm such a klutz. XD *clings* You and I are gonna have to form a support group if our respective loves are killed off next week. Warning to the rest of you, you may have a very unbalanced, whiny, ranty, highly unhappy Keri on your hands after January 24th (which, ironically, is the day before my little brother's birthday... all the bad stuff happens then, I guess :P). Prepare yourselves now. You'll probably hear me screaming all the way from Indiana or Delaware or Canada or wherever you happen to live. XD

I have a binder named after me? *feels all special* XD I don't name my school supplies, but if I did, I'd name... hmm... well, not my notebook, 'cause it has Erin's cooties on it... not my planner 'cause those things are evil... not my calculator 'cause I'm always forgetting/losing/dropping it... anou, looks like school supply naming wouldn't be such a good idea for poor disorganized me. XD Wow, we finally have the same day off? I'm shocked. Now just watch, they'll make me work all day. :P

"Bonding over Shimako's death"-- you make me sound so shameless! *snicker* But then again, I am, so no problem XD I'm glad you liked the Subaru bit. I honestly don't know where the whole Seishirou in his head thing came from. *whaps Subby* Stop giving me weird ideas, pretty boy.

Well, I have to write now, or somebody is going to beat me up. Either that or not write me more fic, which would be worse, actually. ^^;;;

New layout! Wai! *beams* This was a birthday present from the ever wonderful and talented Codi. Much love, much love. *huggles* I think it's gorgeous, personally, and not just because of who it is. I love the colors. Thank youuuu *glomps and huggles some more*

Ooh, and I did indeed recieve all the presents I predicted I would, plus some pajama pants, a big CD holder (ulterior motive on that one, since my mom always whines about me leaving my CDs around ~~;;;;), and an HP poster and book. I've played a bit of FFX already. Kireiiiii... *_* It really is just like a movie. The way the camera changes as your character moves is really cool. It's been easy so far, the battles and such, but I'm sure when they get harder I'll get stuck or die, because I am about the worst gamer ever. ~~;;;;

Well, Virtue's finally letting me upload stuff, so I figured I'd share this little fanart I did the other day. It's based on the cover of Entertainment Magazine. The pose made me think mushy fanart. Someone smack me. *snicker*

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and/or did nice stuff for me. *glompsnugglesmooch* ^___^

Happy birthday to meeeee.... *grins* I haven't opened any presents yet, but I know for sure I am getting FFX, some bath stuff, and a Media Play gift certificate. Not sure what else. I also get cake. Wheee, cake. XD

What the fuck is wrong with Pitas now? It appears that it's not processing links within the entries correctly, 'cause all the blogs I've looked at this afternoon have had messed-up links. *swears*

Aaaaanyway. Today has been quite interesting. School was funny as hell. During first period, my friend misheard something I said as we were leaving the room, and somehow came to the conclusion that I was commenting on her ass. I set her straight (heh, no pun intended XD), but I know I will never hear the end of that one. XD I also recieved the lovely birthday present of an accidental volleyball to the face during gym, by the same friend. She will die. *snerk* To look on the bright side, I have now been hit in the face with a football, a basketball, a ping-pong ball, and a volleyball. All I need is a softball or baseball and I'll have all the main sports covered. LOL

Oooh, and I finished Haunted Junction last night. Wahhh Haruto-kun! I wanted to huggle him. The last couple eps were more serious than the rest of the show, but I liked them. I wish there was more than 12 eps. *pout*

Hehe. Very cute. *huggles* HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm sorry I didn't get the Karen fic done in time, but I will try to get it done as soon as I can. Sounds like you got some good birthday presents! ^___^

Hai, as long as the newlyweds don't forget that poor Kamui-chan has needs too. XD Sad thing is, I'd probably pay large amounts of money to see that wedding ceremony, though. ^^;;;

*pets* I hope things improve for you. *flicks off Mr. Buerger and Escalix* ... anou, that kind of sounds like the name of a video game... XD

So what did you think of "BW"? ^^;;; Feel better soon. Cramps suck. And awww, I hope you decide to RP more soon, 'cause this is dead without you. The rest of you, go post! *picks up large blunt object* XD

*does the snow dance forMaria* Most of the snow here has melted, to the point that it stops looking fluffy and wintery and starts looking like gross dirty piles of stuff that used to be white. >< Thanks for commenting on the fic. I wasn't sure if much of anyone was even reading anymore. ^^;;;

Gomen nasai, Kira, I know virtue.nu is not particularly reliable about loading images. But it's the only free host that allows direct linking and that I can tolerate (Homestead makes me cry). Hopefully in a week or two I'll have some webspace of my own on which to put pics, though. ^___^ Oh, forgot to comment, but I liked the drinking game. *snicker*

And now, to follow her lead, things I want to see in X...

-Sakurazukamori!Subaru.
-Sei-chan's ghost. 'Cause it would amuse me, and the Sei fangirls would probably hyperventilate.
-BEAST doing something cool.
-Keiichi as the new DoH ^___^
-Someone besides god damned Sorata and Arashi getting some. (I don't care who. They're beginning to make me sick, though. *runs away from the S/A people*)
-Aoki's family. .... Tied up and being jabbed with hot pokers. (OK, not the kid, I'm not that mean. ^^;;;)
-Hotel room. That's all I really need to say. ^_^

and don't want to see...

-Any of the Dragons of Heaven dying.
-The Dragons of Earth winning. (Hai, I am mad biased. :P)
-Anyone getting killed off so that Kamui will have more room to angst all over the page.
-Subaru coming to a sappy redemption. (Gomen ne, gomen ne! ^^;;;)
-Most likely, this month's Asuka installment, wahhhh! *hides eyes*

Well, I'm back from the doctor's. I got done what needed to be done, I was just about to open the door to leave when I hear "Keeeeeriiii..." "yes...?" "What's this about you only having one of your hepatitis shots?"

*groan* So of course I was promptly dragged back in and poked. I haaaate needles. What a lovely early birthday present. *swears*

Oh well. I have linked a couple of new blogs, here and here, the first because she linked to me and is a fellow X fan, and the second because she seems quite cool and because I happened upon a post in her archives that said a certain editor who will go unnamed was cute. What can I say-- it's not difficult to win me over. XD And for the record, I love English because I love to write, but I honestly can't stand the lit-interpretation aspect of it. I'm not a big fan of the "classics". And "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" broke my brain. Good luck on that essay. ^^

(edited 'cause I forgot something) Anou... o.O Not sure why you think I'm the greatest, but thanks! ^___^ You are pretty kick ass too. Can't wait for more "CLAMP Campus X". *bounces* so kawaii!

I am also trying to adopt some of Cori's HJ sprites, but Virtue is being a nasty whore. What's up with all the servers sucking ass lately? There's never been a better time to buy your own webspace, it appears. January 18thhhh.... *dances* XD

*squeak* Well, last night I was put in a rather fantastic mood by the discovery of something lovely on FF.net. Yes, you read that right. This fic right here comes from the same inspiration as my "Broken Wings" does-- to continue the Asuka plotline. And... well, just read chapter two of the fic, you'll realize what I'm squealing over. Finally, someone who I haven't tortured in advance is writing A/K! Now I just have to find a way to convince the author to not kill them. *starts writing e-mails* XD

In other news, I have to go to the doctor in about twenty minutes. Blar.

Your blog and archives are loading just fine for me-- perhaps you caught it during the upgrade? Supposedly the servers have been improved. I'll believe it when I see it. Anyway *huggles* what's this about all the layouts being gone?? That sucks ass! *shoots Escalix*

You sure are developing a harem over that Kei pic, hehe. Don't forget the little people. *sniffle* lol
And, Dai-kun, honey, if you stand around with your mouth open all the time, someone is going to stick their tongue down your throat, mark my words.
XDDDD! *falls over*
I think you're getting my Aoki dreams, dammit. I don't get anywhere near enough. And I guess Kim's getting your Daisuke dreams... the question is, who's getting Kim's S/S dreams? *blink blink* It unfortunately isn't me, as I haven't had a dream I could remember in months. And the fic she showed you had better be the one I've already seen, or I'll cry. XD And she's come up with something worse than both Kusa/Kamui and Yuzu/Arashi. Nataku/Aoki. *TWITCH* (And for some reason it's always in that order, even though that is NOT PHYSIOLOGICALLY POSSIBLE! XD)

If Aoki ever looked THAT genki, I would slap him. *snicker* So Fuuma and Subaru are married, ne? Wonder what the honeymoon was like, wink wink nudge nudge. Kamui must be bawling his lil' purple eyes out. Poor kid. *shoves him at Keiichi* ^___^ TV Funhouse was good on SNL last week, especially since I haven't seen the Ambiguously Gay Duo in ages, they never seem to be on when I'm watching. It's just amusing to hear my mom going "dear god this is sick!" and me responding quite genkily "Of course it is!" and continuing to watch. ^____^

Well, piss. I have to go. *swears* Let's hope this doesn't suck too much. Ja!

Well, it looks as if my head's in another one of it's "I'm going to hurt for three months straight and there's nothing you can do about it, ha ha!" moods. *sighs* Gotta love tension headaches. I wonder how long I can live off Advil before my liver dissolves?

Hey, three days until my birthday, though. Apparently all my presents were purchased today while I was at work. Wheeee. ^___^ And I have tomorrow off. *bounces*

Wow. You have had an interesting life, and you are an even more wonderful person because you got through all that. ^^ *huggles* I hope everything turns out all right for the baby. "Feed My Frankenstein" is a scary, disturbing song. ... just right for Fuuma. XD Funny you should mention an actual S/S vs. S/K fangirl war, because I nearly wrote a very smartass and self-referential fic about that very idea. *snicker* I might write it some day, the idea still amuses me. Shakira is cool, but the line in her song about not confusing her boobs with mountains always makes me laugh. Hey, feel better soon, too *glomps*

Sure, people like Yuuto. He's gorgeous, he's mysterious, and he's a total flirt-- what's not to like? ^_^ And hey, I'm all about weird characterizations. Looking forward to reading the fic.

Did you think she meant "Keiichi and Daisuke" when she said "KD never tasted so good"? ^_~ Alright, I'm done being a hentai XD Hai, Clearance Sale is the closest to Karen/Arashi I've ever seen, and I still want someone to slash them, wahhh! PRETTY! ... yeah. *coughs* lol. Keiichi as matchmaker would be cute. Ewan McGregor is highly overrated. He's funny-looking. Then again, I have a tendency to be about as attracted to your everyday so called "heartthrob" as I am to a rock. I like the quirky ones. ... And the animated ones, but we won't get into that. *snerk* And dammit, "Fire and Hemlock" isn't even out in the US yet. *pout* I wanna reaaaad! hehe

Hehe, your mom is funny. Mine is just weird, and it is her fault that I have various strange physical problems, an incredibly slow metabolism, and a tendency toward very excessive worrying. However, she also gave me my intelligence, musical skills, writing skills and ability to argue, all of which I'm rather attached to. ^___^ I also suspect that I got the obsessive side of my personality from her, considering she's about as bad about Ricky Martin as I am about certain anime characters. XD

I had every intention of coming home and attempting to verbally rip a few people a new one over this, but much has already been said. I still feel the need to address a few points, though. Bear with me, I've been twitchy-pissed-off for three days now for no apparent reason, and hopefully I can get it out of my system by ranting a little.

1. In an attempt to "go to war with ideas, not people", I will not say that the author of this rant is a vulgar, self-centered, pretentious elitist bitch. I will, however, say that the rant itself is vulgar, self-centered, pretentious, elitist, and bitchy, and that anyone who would consider having opinions such as those expressed in the rant itself obviously must be all of those qualities. Is there really a difference? I didn't think so.

2. Is anyone really fooled by this "I'm telling you you're a talentless, brainless hack because I want to help you improve" bullshit? It has nothing to do with wanting to help anyone. These people have obviously divided everyone in the world into two categories. Either a person is a Serious Writer, or a member of the unwashed masses who are polluting the world with their filth. If they're in the latter category, they're already a lost cause. Why not just come out and say it-- you get off on telling other people their work sucks because it's an ego stroke for you? It'd be nice if people would be honest every now and then.

3. "You know, this fic sucks" is not constructive criticism, and it's not going to help anyone improve their writing. No one said you had to send positive feedback to a writer whose work you dislike. No one said you had to send any feedback at all. If it offends you so badly that the only thing you can think of to say about it is that it sucks, why not just close the window or delete the e-mail and put it out of your mind? Why go through the hassle of criticizing something you don't consider worthy of your time in the first place? See above point. That's why.

END RANT

That's right, you can all start reading again now. *g*

*twitch* This, I am ashamed to say, made me scream like a little girl. I thought I had missed the point at first, and was trying to find out if I was supposed to be seeing any corpses or blood or anything. -.-;;;

Yes, the pic coloring is great. I can't CG to save my life-- shadows boggle my mind. o.o;;; And hey, Megan, Yuuto fic? I'm curious. Tisn't much good Yuuto fic out there. (At least, not much good Yuuto fic that doesn't involve a certain pairing that makes me cry. ^^;;;)

Mouu, you got maple candy? *is jealous* XD That stuff is heavenly, but I haven't had it in the longest time. Hey, thanks for voting for me! I'm holding down third place by one vote right now. 14 votes, how cool. ^__^ I did vote for Clearance Sale. Many of the other nominees, including "Earthquakes", were very well written, but I simply enjoyed "CS" most, and isn't that really what it's all about? ^^

I already told you, but the pic is wonderful. Trying to decide if I'd get asked too terribly many questions if I printed it out and stuck it on my wall. "Yeah, Mom, that's just a drawing my friend did based on some porn." ~~;;; hehe. Speaking of porn, am I the only one who's noticed that you never really see normal porn advertised? It's all highly specific and mostly kinky. Sheesh. *not that she's ever gone looking for porn* XD

I got your mood icons to load for the first time the other day (my comp is awfully touchy when it comes to loading images ~~;;;). KAWAIII! ^____^

I took that MASH test during school today, so I don't have the funky graphic thingy, but I ended up getting Ewan McGregor. -.- Ahhh irony. I have to be the only female on the planet who doesn't find the man remotely attractive. (Not remotely Remus-like either. *poutscreamthrowthings*)
