kyaaaa~ XD ryuuichi is on CRACK XD I love him XD~ I'm totally adding Gravitation to my sasuga order, since they FINALLY got AL5 in XD XD And I need more X, because it's CLAMP crack. I don't /want/ to like it, but some things just can't be helped >.>; Which reminds me, does anyone know what the seiyuu cast for X TV is like? Well, quick entry 'coz it's 4AM and I've got voice tomorrow. ExT fanfic is coming along nicely, I think? I was planning on writing more tonight, but it looks like I'm too tired O_x;; Somehow I manage to waste so much time.. oh fuck. Homework ><; I swear to god I'll finish it tomorrow, even if it kills me. What a time to remember how much stuff I have to finish. Gah. Now I'll never get to sleep >.>

I'm still feeling sick, but lots of anime and manga has made up for it. I watched a lot of Gravitation (by Nikk's request) last night, which is much fun XD Mister K and his random English is great. Finished Tokyo Babylon a few days ago. Sooooo good, better than what I expected, if that's possible. Sadder, too. Sei-chan is damn freaky, but I still like him. Watched a little of CB subbed and dubbed and somehow missed the episodes on Cartoon Network last night. Ficced for about an hour. Umm, I had more to talk about last night, but pitas decided to suck so I've forgotten already, so more later XD;; And if you're still looking for the lyrics, Jae-san, here they are ^^

So yeah, today was okay. I'm CLAMP's bitch, too, by the way. I didn't realize how essentially every thing I bought was CLAMP until I got home >.> I spent less than I thought (around 50 bucks) on manga at kino, rented a few videos at japan video, and ate good food at benihana, so it was a pretty good day. I finally got the last three volumes of Tokyo Babylon, which is very happy indeed XD Oooh XD Alisa's turned Nikk into an Angelic Layer sl0re for me XD Even though she doesn't think TamayoxKotarou is cute, I guess it can't be helped ^^;

nikk: ou-chan!!!

nikk: <3 ou-chan XD

nikk: look what you've fucking done to me :o

nikk: i'm a goddamned anime whore :o i'm almost a CLAMP whore :o as wrong as that sounds :o

nikk: BUT STILL :o

me: ::cackle:: XD

As expected, AL5 wasn't in at Kinokuniya, and I'm very close to searching for spoilers ^^; Anyway, my plans for the night are as follows: finish TB manga, watch TB OAV, watch Cowboy Bebop DVD, watch CCD, watch Gate Keepers 2-4, fix my goddamn 2 key, and fall asleep in a CLAMP induced daze. And maybe fic somewhere in between there. Ah, what an interesting life I live XD;;

Ooh! Before I forget ^^;;;; happy birthday to Onosaka Masaya-sama XD

I can't fall asleep @.@; I feel tons better than I did yesterday, though. When I decided to running was going to make me feel better, someone should have hit me over the head with something hard ><; I ran for eight minutes and felt terrible. Like having to turn off the treadmill and sit down and catch my breath terrible. Then I thought I was okay and ran for another two minutes before deciding that I wasn't fine after all and I had to really sit down. For the rest of the day I felt a little tired, fatigued maybe. But, as it turns out, my sister /is/ going with us today. Figures, I guess. She sulked last time and this is what she gets: another trip to SF, a place she apparently hates. She makes this very clear just about every time it's mentioned. She brought over about three girls yesterday that I went to school with like four years ago, which was really creepy. Amelia told me I wasn't "nice" to the people who recognize me from school, but the truth is, I didn't like anyone at school. I still don't like anyone at the schools around here, which is probably good explanation for my bustlingly social life ^^; Anyway, the girls were annoying as expected and I think the way they flaunted their cellphones was sort of amusing. On a similar note, the way the girls dress around here is sort of... skankish, I've noticed ::g:: Generalizing, I realize, but.. I mean, I don't really care either way 'coz it's not my friends or anything, but it just doesn't look good. Low-rise pants with big chunky sketchers and a tiny tanktop that shows your stomach /and/ your bra-straps? c'mon now. Of course, I've been accused that I "dress-up" and that I own too much black all the time, but I like how I dress. So I guess if they like how they dress, I can't really say anything about it.

So yeah, I'm gonna try and fall asleep again, since reading over this post has suddenly made me very tired. Should I take that as a sign? XD; I also put up all of what I've got of my fic so far, if anyone cares, and actually began ficcing a little more last night. Anyway, much fun today. I'll post when I get back.

Happy Birthday, Vinita-san XD~

I'm not feeling well today. I woke up feeling crappy and it really hasn't lifted. My other shoulder now hurts, too, and I'm not really sure why. I don't know if it's sitting on my bed with the computer and typing, or if it's how I sleep, or what, but it hurts. I'm probably going to take a long run on the treadmill after I'm done with this entry.

But I am happy because tomorrow I'm going to Japantown with tousan and kaasan.. and maybe my uncle and his boyfriend will eat lunch with us (benihana ::drools::), I don't know. All I know for sure is Meagan isn't going, which means she can't sour the trip like she did on my birthday. I didn't make a big deal about it, but it really was annoying.. Oh, my nails match my handbag. How's that for creative? Not very, I imagine, but I think they look cute ^^ Speaking of not creative, I put up about 25K of my ExT fic. It's not ExT-ish yet and I've got some major issues with it still.. not to mention the fact I also get really nervous letting other people read what I write, so umm XD;; Just throwing myself off the cliff, here. Errm. Nikk, Rick doesn't believe me that Nikk & Rick sounds weird because it rhymes.

Rick: you make no sense :
Erin: i always make sense, you just don't see it >.>
Rick: why cause nikk sounds like a guy?
Erin: no, because it RHYMES :o
Erin: that's the only problem I have with it :o
Rick: whats wrong with it RHYMING :o
Erin: EVERYTHING :o

I still say it sounds funny.

Umm. XD IcchanxOgata, anyone? Anyone at all? XD;; I mean, if I can't have Icchan for myself and I don't like Misaki's mom, it's sort of cute. A little..? While I wait patiently to get AL5, I've come up with all kinds of ships, but TamayoxKotarou and OujirouxKotarou are still the best, either way.

W. is making a speech tonight, I heard. Can I just say right now how much I hate his "evil doers" stuff? Like what, W. is in some bizarre comic strip that only he knows about? Evil doers, for god's sake. W, you're no superhero. Don't act like one. Anyway, looks like Friends etc. will be preempted for those on the east coast. Oops But otherwise I don't really have much to say about the news, besides I'm rather scared and I'm really not sure that what we're doing is right. But anyway... I want that ExS doujinshi, damnit ><; Ricky, onegaiiiii~

Yeah, so I just finished watching the Oz episode where Shirley is executed and Ryan and Gloria have more Stupid Drama. And a lot of other stuff. I'd just like to mention again how hot Dean Winters is and how much I dislike Gloria. Even more so after seeing this episode again, 'coz she tells Ryan that she hates him and that whole song and dance. Umm, hi. Gloria? I seem to remember an incident about five episodes later where you told Sister Pete that you loved Ryan (don't we all). So yeah. Suck on that (not /that/, ecchi XD), whore XD Shirley's execution was sort of... I don't know. Disturbing seems to be the word that comes to mind, but I'm not sure if it's.. oh, damn. Disturbing it is.

Otherwise my day was fairly boring, as usual. I went to my grammas house and ate dinner with the family. Meagan asked me what was wrong about five times, because I have a tendency of not talking to her (for good reason) whenever we're in the car together. She suggested that perhaps going out with her on Saturday would cheer me up (I was fine, in any case) and proceeded to tell me her plans ¬.¬ "Sounds stupid," I replied, which I guess pretty much sums it up. Sort of unrelated to today, but she claims I'm "cold" to her. Yeah, well. It's hard to be "warm" when all you do is act stupid >.> I don't mean to really rant, but sometimes she just grines on my nerves. And then I realize she's seventeen and I fall over, anime style, because it's completely baffling. She drives scary, too. I guess Amelia drives pretty scary too, but Meagan drives scary while on the phone and trying to race some pickup truck with a bunch of hicks from San Marin in it. Not to bash SM, or anything. Even though it's tempting.... SM SUCKS XD kiss my ass, mustangs XD

On that note, I think I'll go fic a little and fix my ass something to eat. Which will probably be popcorn or Goldfish crackers, 'cause healthy foods seem to slip through my grasp. And since I'm in such an anti-Meagan mood, I'd just like to mention that she stole my last chocolate Balance bar. I was Not Pleased >.> But anyway, itadakimasu.

I took off my keyboard pad and it uh.. won't go back in. So it's just sort of laying on where it's supposed to be, but I'll fix it later. It's my dad's fault, anyway, for telling me how to take it off <g> Anyway, I just finished watching the first episode of Strange Dawn and I want to see moreee. It's cute ^^ Speaking of cute (har har har), Oz reruns tonight, which means Dean Winters and Gratuitous Naked Men Shots. Perhaps both at once XD HBO is great XD

nyoro nyoro. I completely forgot the point of this entry (as if they ever have a point) ^^; Don't you just hate that? Fiona, I promise I'll put up a little bit of what I've got so far sometime soon, but first I have to get around to fixing all those nagging little problems. ^^ And yeah, my sister bought the sweatshirt for me when she started at NYU and my mom refuses to turn up the heat in this house, so it gets a lot of use ^^; AND SUCESS! I finally got the damn keyboard pad thing in. So now I'm gonna get going and take a shower or bath or something because my shoulder is killing me. itaaa

Ever feel like like everything you write is total crap? Of course you do. Because I'm feeling like that right now, looking over at my fic thus far, and it's not the first time >.> I don't know what I should do. I'm about 65K into this monster (named so by Eriol, who's not pleased with me right now) and I have a sort of vague idea where it's going, but it's the details that I need to get worked out. So maybe I should plot a little bit before going back to it. I don't think it's as bad as I think it is.. Nikk doesn't seem to think so..? (unless she's lying to me, the whore XD) Anyway, I think I'll read some fanfiction to inspire me. There was this good JamesxTracey fic I haven't finished reading yet. I'm not much of a fan of Tracey, his only redeemable quality the fact that Seki Tomokazu-san was Kenji's seiyuu, but the story's good enough that I'm able to look past that XD

Oh, and I thoroughly confused my sister, who watched Sakura, Yukito and the Disappearing Power with me tonight. She thought Eriol was Yukito and that Tomoyo's name was Touya. o_O; She did remember that the Float card existed, though, and thought EriolxTomoyo was very cute. And TouyaxYukito, but how can you not think that TxY is hot after seeing that episode? Her attitude toward anime/manga remains very flippant, either way. And it's Sakura's Most Beloved Person where Eriol wears that hot outfit again. Yeah. Damn hot. No, I'm not trying to get back on Eriol's good side. I think if I get that doujinshi, he'll be plenty happy ^^ Syao-chan, on the other hand...

Voice lessons were... I don't know. We spent the bulk of my lesson doing warm ups because I need to "open up." I don't really mind particularly, but sometimes it's just frustrating. And I have to volunteer this week, I guess. I don't know when I can do it, but chances are my volunteering partner (...) is gonna call me on Thursday or Friday asking me to do volunteer with her. We're not very good volunteers ^^;;; We spend the bulk of our time in cafeteria or restocking the kitchens. I think we need more training ><;

Besides voice lessons, today has been very boring and I still haven't slept enough. But I have to do math right now before I start procrastinating. And think of what to give my mom for her birthday tomorrow ^^;

::yawn:: I don't get enough sleep, I think. Went to bed around 7AM-ish? last night and woke up at 3PM today feeling disgusting. I could have slept more, but.. Now I'm just sitting here in my big NYU sweatshirt with a cup of throat coat tea and my blanket wrapped around me ^^ I'm thoroughly convinced I'm going to be getting sick very, very soon. Speaking of NYU (...), my sister called today and decided to tell me all about how she was totally going to buy me an anime DVD when she was in New Jersey, but since I didn't answer the phone >.> Very depressing, indeed. She pronounced Sakura wrong, too, but I suppose it's pretty interesting that she even recognized it in the first place, so I can't hold it against her.

I've been ficcing a lot this week ^^; Blame it on a rabid ExT bunny that appeared after watching so many hours of CCS last week... even though the fic is based on the manga plot ^^ Otherwise, where the hell does Eriol stay when he goes to Tomoeda? His damn house was replaced with an /amusement park./ (Where'd Eriol-tachi stay when they came to visit in the second movie omake? Does anyone care except me?) Not that that's really the only reason I chose to base it on the manga ...  I just hope I actually finish a long fic for once <g> And CCS is much more fun to fic than Pocket Monsters (viva shigeru/kasumi~) ^^ Which just reminds me of the neglected PM fics that I should probably work on tooo~

I've got voice lessons tomorrow, which is always interesting. Maybe I'll get to the bookstore again, since it's so close and all, not that I really need to since I'm going to Japantown on Saturday (looks like Meimi's going to SF this weekend too? hehe) and I plan on spending Lots of Money. And while on the subject of money, my dad inadvertedly made me feel really bad about how I did when I was working with Christine >< I feel bad even though I know I shouldn't, but I guess you can't help how you feel. I'm too emotional for my own good, and tonight, for some reason or another was tough. Just one of those days, maybe? But Christine still wants me to work despite aforementioned issues, which should probably make me feel better but doesn't. I guess I should be happy that my problems aren't really serious and amount to very little, but in my head, I blow things up.

Anyway, I'm not really up to self-analysis right now (God knows I do it enough off my blog). And since New Age really is a good damn song, I think I'll talk about that. I didn't like it the first.. oh, fifteen times I heard it, but it's sort of cool. And any song that ends with "All you little sick little fucks, yes, it's the beginning of the new age," is pretty damn cool in my book. So right now the list of songs I listen to on Strange Little Girls is up to about five. New Age, Strange Little Girl, Rattlesnakes (favorite! XD) Time and Real Men. All the others are sort of blah ^^; Then again, usually the songs I don't like at first end up being favorites later and the songs I always liked get so played out (purely my fault, of course) that I don't like them anymore. But I don't think I'll be listening to Heart of Gold on repeat anytime soon.

And Meagan officially scares me. I can tolerate her fine sometimes (tolerate being the key word here) but she's really a freak. Funny thing is, when she picked up my Viz translation of X, she flipped through it back to front like a Japanese manga. On a related note, she's also looking forward to Kodocha manga being released, but claims that it being unflipped is "confusing," or something. I don't know. Nikk and I adapted our pet name for Kaho (Mizucracki, if anyone cares XD Yeah, we're damn cool/fucked up and we know it XD) for my sister after she tried to steal Ou-chan. Yeah, she's evil. Both of them, though not so much Kaho, but I still don't like the woman. Which, for some reason, reminded me that my Nakuru is really scary, too ^^ But this entry is too damn long! I didn't realize I had so much to babble about. So I'm going to poke around the web a little more, fic a little if Tomoyo's up for it, and then go to BED.

Pictures aren't working ><; But I think I'll move them later, 'cause I'm such a problem solver, I know. And a big hug for Rick 'cause he's just so nice to me ::nikoniko:: Otherwise just a quick entry before I go watch TV and find some new anime to download, 'cause I recently realized that I really don't watch enough obscure series ^^; Speaking of which, I watched Cowboy Bebop like.. minutes ago. The dub is good; I didn't have any terrible urge to go find the subtitle version, which can be a problem for me when watched dubbed anime. The voice acting is good, but.. then again, I haven't seen it subbed so I can't really compare. Admittedly, I don't really watch shounen, though, so I guess that's not too big of a surprise. Buuu~t I'm gonna maybe rent some CB or OLS (for Nikk, of course) when I get to Japan Town this weekend. I have lots of plans for this weekend, mainly a date with Subaru-kun and Sei-chan ^^

Now I'm off to watch Tex Avery cartoons, which reminds me of when I went to England last April. Well, besides the fact I was the sickest I've been in recent memory during the whole trip, not to mention jetlagged and on a terribly cramped flight back behind three of the most obnoxious travelers /ever/, it was a fun trip. I watched lots of rugby and tried to figure out what exactly the hell the rules of cricket were with my dad and stayed up until seven in the morning eating Kettle Chips and Dr. Pepper (which isn't terribly different than what I do now). Anyway, we had gone there because my dad was doing a presentation of Pixar's short films (this is the part of the entry where I ask all of you nicely to go see Monsters Inc when it comes out ^^) at this animation festival and at one point Terry Gilliam was doing a showing of his favourite animated shorts/films whatever. He had a lot of interesting things to say about animation in general and his appreciation of Tex Avery's style. [He also had some interesting words concerning how he thought the Harry Potter movie was going to turn out, which was funny indeed] I have to say that I don't watch many cartoons anymore, more because a lack of good ones out there (although Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Laboratory are classic) than anything else. But now that I have Cartoon Network again, it really is fun to watch all these old Acme cartoons and all that sort of stuff. Anyway, I need to make some tea and get under my covers 'cause it's been damn cold in Novato lately. Blah. And people say California doesn't have seasons. Sure it does. Warm and not-so-warm.

Ended up putting the new layout up, anyway. I still need to fix somethings (colors, I think) but I like it XD Still need to convince otousan that going to JapanTown tomorrow would be a Good Thing, but it looks doubtful ¬.¬ (edit: Yatta! Looks like we're going next week) I'll add to this entry a little later, 'cause right now I'm drawing a blank as to what I was going to blog about (other than my new layout ^^;;) and I don't feel like rambling. Besides, it's time for dinner XD XD .. why do I feel like I'm always blogging when I'm hungry?

Done eating, done fixing what I'm gonna fix. I feel really mean, 'cause I promised Nikk anime tapes a long time ago and haven't gotten around to doing all of them yet ><; gomen nasai, tsuin-chan :o On completely unrelated news, I feel increasingly lazy as each day passes by and I realize that I don't /do/ anything. I suppose finishing my story map would make me feel more productive, but one annoying thing about homeschooling is that when they don't give you examples, you have to figure it out on your own >.> I remember vaguely doing story maps in bitchwhore's class, but.. I also remember really hating her class when I was in it, but it's sort of reassuring that I don't -really- remember feeling that way. I just tried to explain it, but it ended up sounding really bad and, not surprisingly, didn't really reflect how I feel. Oh well. Time to stop procrastinating.
