I was going through some old issues tonight, and had marked a page with a cute Shugogetten ad on it. But on the same page was a small blurb that had announced the Gravi OVAs and had the character designs (and a small picture of OVA Shuuichi and Yuki)!! XD Very very VERY small, but still!! X3 Happy~~~ .....Meimi sparkled @ 08:06 p.m. Saturday, September 29, 2001... *eyes scanner, which has suddenly died a mysterious death* Damnit. I think it really broke. Well, the poor thing has been dying for a while now, but I really don't want to have to buy another one myself (*dies* I could, probably in a month if I didn't eat at all, but what about manga?! ;_;) or ask for another one because it's only...um...actually, I forget if it's two or three years old. Ugh. So, Shiori, I guess no Bound for a while yet. Sorry... At least my tanjoubi and Christmas are coming up, sort of. *mourns* It was really my wish this year to just hand 'Kaasan-tachi the Copic catalogue and tell them I only wanted art supplies though. x_X;;; Waaaaaah. And I had such a clever idea for a layout, too. >_>;;; .....Meimi sparkled @ 05:42 p.m. Saturday, September 29, 2001... *SHRIEK* "Who's the father?!" XD XD XD *SHRIEKS again* Kristin, thanks for the link to this page- that's going to keep me laughing. *_*; On a somewhat related note, My-chan, the Friends premiere was so...frustrating deshou... *_*;; (I HATE how they make the commercials so MISLEADING. XO) Hopefully next week we'll find out~ And yes, isn't Mikage's voice just gorgeous?!! H_H *sparklesparkle* Though as a character he's been pretty corrupted since Scenes From an Elevator... Ali-tachi: *watching Black Rose Saga* At the part in the Shiori episode where Mamiya pricks his finger and they're being really H_H... Meimi: .......*looks at Ali* Ali: .......*looks at me* Both of us, in eeriely perfect unison: "We have SYRUP, Mikage-kun?!" "We have SYRUP, Mamiya-chan!" XD XD XD Leslie: o_________O;;;;;; .....oooookay. .....Meimi sparkled @ 02:39 a.m. Friday, September 28, 2001... np: Glaring Dream - Gravitation I've just been in really weird moods lately. I did flunk my math analysis test, but I'm not really upset over it. You'd think I would be, though. I've just been getting into super-weird moods lately. I'm glad I have play practice all this week; I need...something to concentrate on that I really want to do- I suspect I'm feeling so detatched due to all the junior-year stress and school activities; I'm just starting to feel like I don't want to do anything at all anymore...I think Daisy's story that you can catch senioritis when you take senior classes is true. =_=; It's not exactly that I want out of school already, rather I just don't wanna do anything. n_n; I think I need to go find fanfics. *wanders off* .....Meimi sparkled @ 06:37 p.m. Friday, September 28, 2001... At school, waiting to be picked up blah. And right, about X this month, I was shrieking over Arashi/Sorata in spite of myself. But soon went back to my normal bitter self- I really dislike Arashi. n_n; What was it, FIFTEEN tankoubon to get to this point?! Ugh...anyhow, I really hope X comes to a plot twist sooner or later. The only remotely shocking thing in X (was it even shocking, or just enough to cause fangirls to scream hysterically?) was Sei-chan. *shrugs* Although I did think that Sorata was going to die, it would have been Typical CLAMP either way- at this point I've already put in my predictions for now till the end. I called up Les last night and acted them out for her. n_n; Let's hope something vaguely interesting happens when Subaru comes back, anyway (if things go the way I'm thinking, he'll probably be joyously delusional XD); but it looks pretty obvious to me what's going to end up happening after Kamui runs around in circles for a while longer. ^^; Hopefully they'll suprise me. Janaki-san, I haven't heard that L'Arc song, so I wouldn't know. ^^; I'll download it later and let you know deshou. XD .....Meimi sparkled @ 03:17 p.m. Thursday, September 27, 2001... np: september rain - the brilliant green Tired tired. Shiori, nyo. I'll probably create a subdir in the folder for the purely manga-related stuff and scan it all and upload tomorrow. I didn't work on more pages today (just went over the four I already did), but did lots of side designs. I finally designed the mirror at last, and you said in chapter one that Toshi has a sword when Mamoru thinks of her, so I designed that, too. Is she going to have a sword for a weapon too now, or it in just in that part to look pretty? o_o Just curious. My-chan, it's certainly a decently-sung song; it's just the Engrish is really hard to ignore. ^^; I really like his voice though, and I really don't like Midorikawa voices at all, usually. His only roles that have sent me positively SPARKLING were Schuldich and Mikage. Argh. WK has me in its clutches. And after I've shrieked over its horrible animation, lacking episode plot, and villains that look and act like Scooby-Doo rejects; not to mention shrieked at various fangirls over why they could ever watch such a thing. Sparkles everywhere. And I have no idea why I'm starting to like it, either. *_* Besides the obvious seiyuu factor, but I've always liked the music...actually, technically this is all your fault. Because I found this page on your blog and sent the RK ones to Ali-tachi, which ended up with everyone reading that horrible "Uncle Yohji's Book of Love" series and Ali being convinced We Had To See It. XD Bell-san, thanks muchly for telling about the third Sakura Memorial Video- I downloaded it tonight and nearly died laughing when he popped up in the background of the cheerleading picture. Pretty pretty eyes though. *_* Loved the eyecatch, too- but really, Yamazaki is one boy I've never really considered dressing up in drag. o_o Poor poor Chiharu-chan.. XD Adeline, I like your new layout too. X3 You're right though; manga Touma has been getting younger. ^^; But the anime is pretty bad too- after all, in the Yuki past flashback, there Touma looks...like, eight. And he's supposed to be twenty-something at that point. ^^;;; Not like I mind much; chibi-Touma is so cute!! X3 .....Meimi sparkled @ 11:08 p.m. Wednesday, September 26, 2001... np: Spiritualized - Weiss Kreuz Let's see. What was that conversation we had probably last week or so? Meimi: He can't sing in English, Ali. He can't SING. Ali: *looms over me, in full Midorikawa Fangirl Mode* YES. HE. CAN. AND HIS ENGLISH IS *FINE*. Meimi: *begins doing terrible imitations of Midorikawa Engrish, only to face the Wrath Of the Midorikawa Fangirl* *weeps* "Goodbye, my mars, I shot your pigs. Goodbye, strange fruits..." I haven't heard Engrish this bad in I don't know how long. I think I'll go laugh myself into a coma. (I actually do like Midorikawa's voice in WK a lot. o_o But this song is just...XD XD XD) .....Meimi sparkled @ 09:45 p.m. Wednesday, September 26, 2001... Ohohoho, social blogging~~ Adeline, it's your birthday deshou~? Happy birthday~!!! X3 *pounce* Ooh, and you got The Tale of Murasaki? It's reaaally good- at least, I enjoyed it. *sparkle* The poetry in it is absolutely beautiful~~ You're welcome for the wrong thought. XD (Torpedo Mask?! *dies*) Janaki-san, not that I'm an expert on everything in their kitchen, but I don't believe they have a Kouji. However, they do have Nuriko and Hotohori (the microwave and maybe toaster oven? not sure), Tasuki (the oven), Touya and Yukito (the freezer and fridge, respectively; "Say, Les, why is Touya on top? XD"), and God knows what else although I'm fairly sure they have more FY and X bishounen in there somewhere. They had two plants before that were on the windowsill and they were also named Subaru and Sei-chan, something about the Sei-chan one looking creepy or something- but they ended up growing twisted together. O_o; (This is only the stuff in her kitchen. Besides this, the rest of us also have sick and wrong appliance names, and stuffed animals we've named arranged in scary combinations. And our matching stuffed tigers...) A few weeks ago, at last trip to Mitsuwa: Leslie: *beam*holds out stuffed tiger to Kix* Here! Spank the Yuuto-kitty! XD Kix: *does so*......*pause*...wait, why? Meimi: *going o.O at Les* Plus there's the Lugia (Pokemon) plushie Leslie's mom has, and apparently does Wrong Things to. (Long story I don't feel like telling again. o_o) Yeah, and while I'm thinking up Wrongness, besides that there was that bit that Tin-chama and Sakura-san had in the AIM conversation Tin-chama posted to her blog a while back, about the uke-sack pillow bit, which amused me so much that I told Ali-tachi about it. In the middle of a sleepover. With about twelve pillows in all surrounding us. It was a very bad idea. I feel sorrier for Ali because nobody is ever on her side. Us: *giggle*... Meimi: .... Leslie: .... Ali: ...... O_o;; ??? Meimi/Leslie: *evil, evil fangirlish leer at Ali* Ali: *ohcrap.* ...let's just say...pillow fights haven't been quite the same since...riiight. Shiori, for next time I see you- chapter one is moving rather speedily along. I started it yesterday and have four pages done already. I also started doing room design sketches for the Council room and hallway (everything else in the chapter is outside), and I'm so proud of the Council room. I want their table. I also thought maybe I should redesign Mamoru- the thing is I'm rather poor at guys anyhow, and with the long hair he's just looking too much like a girl. ^_^; (I want him to be pretty but I'm so worried he'll end up girly...^^;;) I'm also worried that in scenes with Toshi, all the long hair might be overwhelming...anyhow, I sketched a lot of things so I'll scan them so you can tell me what you think. ^^;;; Hrm; day wasn't my greatest today though- I flunked the algebra test (blah, honestly I don't care so much; it can be dropped so it's okay), but Ali snapped at me early in the morning, and I got really upset. She apologized but I was just tired of being screamed at, and so I fairly avoided her the rest of the day because I was upset and didn't want to be made more so if she was in a bad mood. >_<;;; I was sad there wasn't play practice today either. Ergh. Anyhow, I think I'll go work on new layout, or maybe finish the Gravi translation I was doing for Les...*wanders off* .....Meimi sparkled @ 06:28 p.m. Tuesday, September 25, 2001... Janaki-san, I think we all wish our moms were that cool. She has almost everything in the kitchen named after pretty boys and they all have their own evil wrong stories about how they got their names. ("Go tell Leslie to turn on the stove." "Okay; Leslie? Go turn on Tasuki! XD" "*THUD*") I'm horribly jealous, though Leslie insists her mom is great to tell stories about, but scary to live with. It's probably true. (But I'm still jealous- damn, if my mom even took the slightest interest in my own interests, I'd love it... o_O) Leslie: *upon hearing about the below, where Ali told her mom about the dishwasher* You told your MOM about THAT?!! Ali: Uh...yeah... ((Ali spent a while just trying to convince her mom to watch the TB DVD. And then because she was paranoid about her mom being mad about her watching yaoi, spent like forever trying to convince her mom that Subaru and Sei-chan were not having significant glances. So... o_O Why she EXPLAINED the whole dishwasher thing...?!! I have no idea.)) Leslie: *horrified* Your MOM?!! Now your mom is going to think that MY mom is a hentai freak!!......well. She IS. But that's beside the point. Meimi: *glomp* Leslie~! We figured out that if all the dishes are Subaru, you eat off Subaru everyday~! XD Leslie: .....I actually hadn't thought that one up...yet... >_>;;; Um......XD .....Meimi sparkled @ 06:51 p.m. Monday, September 24, 2001... np: It's Too Late - Weiss Kruez It's pouring outside; I think the first real rain in ages. We never have thunderstorms around here, either- sometimes there's years between them, really. I don't feel like watching it much, though, so I'm just sitting here listening to the rain pouring down and the thunder rumbling in the distance. I got home from play practice and just collapsed on my bed, and fell asleep for two hours. Staying so late is very exhausting...but it's interesting. I have friends in th cast; it's rather strange to be doing something completely without Ali since we tend to do an awful lot together...but it's also nice for a change. It's probably a good thing to be able to do something that's my own. Sou, and I forgot this other bit when cackling over the bits of amusement from this weekend with Ali-tachi... Thursday night: Leslie: ...did Ali tell you that Mom named another appliance? Meimi: No. TELL. XD Leslie: ...well, I was talking to her and she suddenly went *_* and stared off into the distance. And I went "o_O ???" and she said, "Ooh, I was just looking at Sei-chan." So I went up to see what she was pointing at, and it was...the dishwasher. Meimi: *cackle* The DISHWASHER? Leslie: ...you don't get it...she's being so WRONG with the dishwasher... Wrongness With the Dishwasher: "And it smokes like Sei-chan!!" "...and we can name the dishes in the house 'Subaru'...*leer* So Sei-chan can waaash Subaru alllll cleaaan." "Oh, and look at all the settings on the dishwasher. The options. XD We can TIME how long they--" Meimi: .......it worries me that your mom is as bad as we are, if not worse at times. Leslie: And she's---pause* .......NO, MOM. QUIT PETTING THE DISHWASHER!! In the background: *cackle* Meimi: ... XD;;; Leslie: And then we were watching the presidental address, and she suddenly announces out of nowhere, "OH! Sei-chan could clean Subaru so well, you could say the dishes were PENETRATINGLY CLEAN!" Meimi: *shriek* Leslie: Yeah. And Mom, what was the name of that sto-NO!! *QUIT* IT!! And so, Friday night as Ali and I are about to eat... Meimi: *leering at Ali's dishwasher* Ha-haaan. Ali: o_O;; ... Ali's Mom: ...what are you two doing? O_O;;; Ali: *proceeds to explain the entire thing to her mom- I have no idea why she does this... o_o* Ali's Mom: .......... Meimi: .........*triumphantly* ALI! So if all the dishes in Leslie's house are Subaru, that means they eat off Subaru~!! XD Ali: *THUD* Meimi: Wonder if Les is eating at home tonight. Let's call her up, maybe we can catch her before she does. Hahaha....actually, she's probably already thought of it. Ali: Probably. She hadn't, actually. But oh well. XD .....Meimi sparkled @ 08:19 p.m. Sunday, September 23, 2001... Bell-san: You really didn't like the end of Gravi? o_O I thought it was cute, considering its shortness...but I thought it was nice how they pulled together Shuuichi's music and love for Yuki together in the end...the thing I thought it needed was more Yuki's feelings towards Shuuichi, though I was satisfied with the final scene where you know he thinks of Shuuichi as "home". But really, if they'd made the last episode little else but that scene of Ryuuichi scribbling on the floor, chanting, "Pika-pika~! U-ta-u! O-re!" I would have been happy... XD I wish they'd done more with Touma at the end, though- it was sort of sad to just cut him off at the end alone...and I actually think he and Mika are really interesting...she's just so understanding and sensible with him. I liked her conversation with Yuki about Touma in tankoubon eight- it made Touma's character just seem so...clear... I like your new layout by the way; love the picture. X3 I've been wanting to read that manga; I only have the last chapter in the magazine... Oh, and in the Gravi episodes where the random Americans were speaking in Engrish, those seiyuu were seemingly Americans themselves, looking at the credits. ^_^; That's just...sad... I'm really tired...Shiori, I got the Bound script but was just too tired today to start work on it, outside of thinking of layout in my head. And could you send me a REALLY fast description of Yuki? I could swear you gave one to me again, but if you did, as I can't find it it isn't doing much good at all. I think she has long dark hair, but I wanna be sure before I start sketching things out, and since Yuki is in the majority of the first chapter... n_n; Right...so sorry about this, I'm such a scatterbrain. Random notes on anime I've been watching: for the last episode of MTT! TV series, there just BETTER be something DISGUSTINGLY cute to wrap up the Nanaka/Aburatsubo-ness. Because I'll be annoyed if they just...scatter cuteness with no conclusion, but I'm worried since there's only about three minutes left to download. *worries* Nanaka/Aburatsubo isn't a couple I even expect to work out anyhow, but...XO The CUTENESS...Sae and Takeo were adorable, though. .....Meimi sparkled @ 11:40 p.m. Saturday, September 22, 2001... Gyah...long past two daaays... Friday morning: I got all mad because I made Ali a nice platter of cookies while baking, and my family ate them, so I went to school in a super-bad mood. I stormed over to my locker and Steph goes all kirakira, "Hey! Congratulations!" and I went "...?" and she says, "I heard you got a part in the play! Yay!" Mr. Y ne---ver posts the cast list SO early. He just doesn't. It is typical for him to wait until the last possible minute, and have a swarm of girls around the drama board (that also chase after him). Kyaaan. Bad mood vanishes, I FLEE to the drama board where a small crowd is already gathered! NYA! *does happy dance* And so I got the part of Mrs. Grant. (And lots of people I adore got in too, although Ali didn't make it this year) Um. I figured it would be a really small part, after all it's just the main character's mother, although she's..uh, very complex from the descriptions posted. Meimi: *flees to Mr. Y's room* Thank youuu~!!!!!! XD XD XD XD XD XD Mr. Y: Mm-hm. It's a hard part, you know. Meimi: *genki* I know! Mr. Y: XD You DO realize how many lines you have, right? Meimi: No. Don't scare me. ^_^ Mr. Y: XD Over a hundred. XD Meimi: *for some reason, still genki* ^_^ Mr. Y: But you can do it, right. It's no problem for you. Meimi: I can do it, yeah~! XD Mr. Y: It's a very hard part. But I got the best person for it. So I went off all GENKI!! Except Ali got to class late and didn't get to check the board, and she didn't want to hear if she was in or not. (I don't blame her, I was sad this year since half the fun is running up to the board...) Eh...sooo Mr. Y told me that my part being what it was, he wanted me to have the script and read it over the weekend (nobody else got scripts). o_o So I snagged it at break and read it under my folders in my classes till the end of the day. IYAAAAAAAAAN. I was SO FREAKED OUT. Not the first time I read it, I was just going, "Kya. This play is SO GOOD. I haven't read something this lovely in a LONG TIME." But then I started highlighting my lines and I went, "Oh, what the HELL?! I'm going to have to PLAY this woman?! It's going to be HARD!! I don't know how to do it!!" ;_; Because I've never read a character this hard to play- I'm SO envious of the girl who got the main character!! I think she got less lines than I did, and it's not even HARD!! >_<;; Basically, for my character, her lover left her years ago, dumping her without a word and leaving her with their little girl. Since then, she has refused to face reality- she only has "nice things" in her world, and she manages to shut out everyone and everything that's "not nice" (to the point that she closes the curtains when it rains, to pretend the sun is shining). The script writes that she should not be performed as insane, or even 'touched'- which is very irritating, because...there's...not much other way to describe her. Around the fourth time I read the script through I decided that I'd start out playing her as a young child, like a five-year-old, because she's much more the child than her daughter is. Kyaaa, scary. Once I set the tone, though, she's going to be really fun to play- but starting out will be difficult. ;_; Soo we had bake sale and we made like $40 so that was good, and then went to Ali's house! Nyooo...and I was really tired since I hadn't gotten much sleep or food lately, and so I started wandering around her house holding a CD case above my eyes, cackling over how I could see everything upside-down. Meimi: *hysterical giggles* Ali: Dear... Meimi: *giggle* What?!! Ali: ....the eggrolls at lunch were laced with crack. Meimi: *indignantly* Of course they weren't!...*giggle* Ali: It's either that, or you're drunk. It has to be one of the two. Meimi: *giggle* I'm not drunk. I'm just confused. (Later, in a similar conversation, "I'm not retarded, I'm just...eccentric! XD") We demonstrated my behavior to Les later and she agreed with Ali that I was acting like a moron. Thinking back...they were right. Any~how, Ali started playing the piano and then decided she wanted to try to learn how to play the 'Gravitation' piano piece, and I tried to help by telling her if she sounded off or not. Then Les showed up (finally, way late) and we watched anime I'd burned onto CD- Utena Black Rose saga (Shiori's duel, Mikage's duel, and the "Nanami-sama Himitsu Nikki" episode XD)...we drooled appropriately over the Mikage episode (or Ali and I did, Les had never seen Black Rose saga so she was really...confused). Nyo. Akio: *picks up phone* Ooh, Nemuro-kuun, I was expecting your call...*etc, rest of conversation* Ali/Meimi: *in perfect unison, a steady stream of muffled cursing* Leslie: I'm STILL *really* confused. O_o; The Shiori one was mostly, "Noo, poor Juri-sama~!!" and then the Tsuwabuki diary episode. Kyaa, it's just so DAMN *CUTE*!! XD Leslie: Does anybody have Tsuwabuki?! Because otherwise he's MINE! Meimi: Hah! No, he's MINE! Leslie: No faiiir~! Meimi: Yes faaair~!! I had him before EITHER of you did! Leslie: ...but...but...*looking heartbroken* Meimi: ....I'll share with you. Leslie: YAY! XD I only want him so I can dress him up in cute clothes!! Meimi: I want to dress him up TOO~!! XD XD XD Ali: .... =_=;;; So then we watched...um, episode eleven of KareKano, and then episode six of Mahou Tsukai Tai! OVA. And then we ran off to work on our huge fic project, which is going to be truly one of the most evil, fangirlish things we've ever thought of. Will hopefully have another sleepover in the next two weeks where we'll write the first part of it- this time was our first organized brainstorming session. Ehe. But Les had to leave at one AM, so we sadly let her go, buuut she left us the last tape of Weiss Kruez. (Long story- most people know that I think WK is one of the most awful shows I've ever seen- hell, there's NO plot, and the whole show is based around pretty seiyuu, yummy eye candy, and fangirl fodder. I could probably handle watching it happily like other things (cough, X, cough) if said eye candy was actually decently animated, but no...) But I found some truly awful fanfics that made Ali convinced she NEEDED to see the show, and even I was able to sit through it quietly without screaming at the TV very much. Keeping in mind this was the last tape (Les claimed she brought it because it had so many yaoi moments) and we'd seen, uh, the first episode and the ending half of the one where Omi dressed up as the airline stewardess, though I'd picked up a little more information along the way. Either way...we watched the last tape and after all the unexplained tidbits, the disgustingly cliche conclusions, and all the rest had passed...(spoilers or whatever following, not like it wasn't disgustingly predictable anyhow) *at the part where everybody sinks into the ocean or what the hell* Meimi: *muffled* Oh, Lord, she's going to wake up now, isn't she? Aya: *eyelids flutter* Ali: You know it. =_=; *credits or whatever showing the girls* Meimi: *confused* They all died? No way. Ali: I doubt. I think they escaped miraculously and moved on to a different city. Meimi: *considers*....what about the Schwartz guys? ;_; Did THEY die? Ali: ....if the Weiss guys made it, I think so... And then after the ending scene (where obviously yeah, the Weiss guys are still hunting darkness =_=)... Meimi: *stares at the screen announcing the end* Ali: ......... Meimi: ........THAT was IT?!!! Ali: .....I guess. Meimi: ....well. THAT was a..really...stupid...ending. Well, at least there was one highlight... Meimi;Ali: *spot Nagi for the first time*in unison* Oooooooooooooooh. Meimi: *automatically* He's-pretty-he's-mine. Ali: DAMMIT! Meimi: Ha-haan. Then we were checking other seiyuu for the two or three characters we didn't know, and we went, "OH. MY. GOD. XD ISSEI! is TREIZE! is K! is YUU! is BRAD~!!! XD XD XD" Riiight...anyway, I could probably sit through the rest of WK now without throwing a hysterical screaming fit anymore, and maybe the ending was somewhat better if you'd seen more of the series previous. I don't know, though it seemed pretty typical to me. n_n; Anyway, the Midorikawa-ness and Koyasu-ness of the evening was pretty fun for everyone... So...right, 'Kaasan came to pick me up early the next morning so I could go shopping for clothes to the wedding we were going to. I'm actually really tired right now, but it was a lovely ceremony and the bride's dress was one of the prettiest I've ever seen. Nyaaa. Anyhow, bed. .....Meimi sparkled @ 09:28 p.m. Wednesday, September 19, 2001... np: Yuzurenai Negai [accoustic] - Magic Knight Rayearth Is this the same Meimi that always got snapped at for not being more 'active in her high school community'? (Which means running for student council. I have no desire to run the school n_n;) Current/upcoming projects being, so I don't forget stuff: president of anime club (bake sale on Friday, must rush home tomorrow and make more cookies =_=), historian of drama club (don't need to worry for a little bit about that), CSF (must turn in form TOMORROW!), fall play since my chances of making it in are pretty good (how the hell did Staci get me to agree to audition today...? >_>;; she did that WAY too well; mou, I was flattered one time too many or something =_=), choral class stuff (must breeze by their bake sale since I can't help while I'm running my own...). Right. And I want to help with homecoming gym decoration competition, which will require after-school and weekend meetings. (That one I'll probably give up before I collapse. =_=) We have ring ceremony freaking October 25th. And this year I thought I'd have time to make a Halloween costume, too. .......did I mention I'm endlessly behind after missing three days of school last week, and am now definitely having my math grades drop like a rock? Meimi: Leslie, if we don't get together and wreak havoc this weekend I'm going to snap mentally. Leslie: Good, that makes two of us. Meimi: Ali and I were Talking today and we decided that there should be, in addition to Michael-puppy, Ken-puppy. (WK, not Digi) Leslie: Ken-puppy~!! XD ...but that's too obvious. Someone must have come up with that already. Meimi: Really...? Leslie: Probably. Meimi: Oh. ....Michael puppyyyy.. Leslie: Michael-puppy~!! XD So while talking to her cheered me up immensely (I was sulking all afternoon =_=) I must go study for my math quiz I'm going to fail tomorrow. It can match the makeup test I failed today. But I can only drop one, so I'm totally screwed. O_<;;; I was absent for the first lecture, and my brain was fried for the second since I was really still sick despite being in school, I've been too busy trying to do the current work to go BACK (it makes sense since the book is too confusing anyway), and it's on the first four sections. I'm so dead. The truth is that I really do make things harder for myself on purpose a lot- I work well under pressure, so what tends to happen is I'll be lazy, do badly, and work like a maniac for the rest of the term. But I'm feeling so hysterical because...I was only gone for three days... ;__; And I wasn't being LAZY, I was SICK...I'm too stressed and busy, and I'm getting depressed. It's too much. ;_; And if I get in fall play (which I'm fairly counting on; it's not being stuck-up, it's the fact that Mr. Y has been chasing after me. A lot. And sparkling that the musical was canceled since "we couldn't do it without you, seeee~!!! ^__^" so...yeah, if I'm not in it I'd be more suprised than not, though it doesn't matter either way since if not I'll be house manager or something.) Shiori, that's great~! <3 I hope we talk soon; I think it's been weeks... ;_; I have an idea about Aiko I want to tell you about (I might sketch it out when I have a moment to breathe, the scene pretty much drew itself in my mind more than anything else), but I haven't seen you in so long... ;_; I want to hear about MW too! And...I can't remember the last time you called me Meimi-san; are you mad at me or something...? *worried* *flees to go cram some more and sob over the life of a junior year student* .....Meimi sparkled @ 11:18 p.m. Tuesday, September 18, 2001... ....but giggling fangirlishly with Les, and leering over evil yaoi-ness, and cackling madly is MUCH better than passing a major test, right? RIGHT?!! Meimi: Ohohohohohoooo-ooooh crap. Leslie: o_O Meimi: *curses* TEST. BIIIIG math test. The one I delayed a day already. The one making my life hell? The one I was GOING to flunk with a full night of studying? Leslie: ......BAD you. Meimi: BAD me. Oh, CRAP, it's LATE. O_O ...and as I stayed up later on last night studying too, I'm already ready to topple into bed. Nrgh. So I'll study during my free tomorrow. (Since my free is with Ali, and Ali + Me ALWAYS equals "no work done whatsoever"... O_<;) Right. But I had fun. And I'm still giggling. .....Meimi sparkled @ 10:32 p.m. Tuesday, September 18, 2001... np: the main theme from "Phanthom of the Opera" on loop in my brain >_>; (I hate choral class. It's not good to have songs stuck on loop in my head all day long. Even if it's a nice one. "He's theeeeeere~! The PHAN-thom of the OP'RAAA~!!" =_=;;) Right. So tonight I was supposed to collapse from studying overload. Instead I went over to Ali's, and we both opted to skip work in favor of making two loaves of strawberry bread and playing with Van-Van and Meruru. And then 'Kaasan didn't pick me up til LATE so we went out to eat, and then to get blank CDs, and now it's too late for me to want to study. ;_; No. Too. Busy. I suggested to Leslie that we run away to a distant island and begin a fangirl colony. We shall leave with the basic necessities; being manga, anime, and comp so we can have fanfic access. And live there forever in fangirl bliss. Meimi: XD XD XD I wuuuv Soujirou. Leslie: I do toooo. XD XD XD Meimi: I'm so haaaappy Sojirou didn't diiiie. XD Leslie: Me tooo. That would have been BAD. Meimi: Yes. He was, I think, the most Sparkly guy in Kenshin. Leslie: I don't know. Aoshi was pretty Sparkly...XD Meimi: ....but I can't take him seriously anymore. At all. It's been one parody yaoi fanfic too many. *_* Leslie: ...this is true... XD Meimi: I don't think, "Ooh. Aoshi. Sparklies." anymore. Now I think...well... Leslie: ..."Aoshi Love Hut"... XD Meimi: Deshou. XD .....Meimi sparkled @ 08:25 p.m. Tuesday, September 18, 2001... Sou? Trading for what? XD Shiori...Bound script? Please? =_=; I feel badly bugging you about it, but if you're really not going to finish it anytime in the near future then would you consider sending me what you have so far? Then I can at least get the layout down for some pages... And I'm still downloading more Black Rose saga, and I love how every episode makes me say, "No! THAT was like, the best episode of Utena I'ev ever seen~!" Last night I got ep24...Mikage... ;_; I liked the end of it, though, when it was Anshii in Akio's arms instead. Nrgh. Must flee; late. .....Meimi sparkled @ 07:32 a.m. Monday, September 17, 2001... >_>; I swear I took such great pains to make absolutely certain that my junior year would be easy as hell. So why must my teachers work against me...?! They changed the fall musical back to its usual place as a fall play, and I really want to be in it but really doubt I have time? o_O; Right. And I have a ridiculously huge history test tomorrow so I shouldn't even be on since I have like ten pages of worksheets to scribble out. >_>; At least I started downloading GALS! episodes again today, starting with most recent (ep25), and it was a Miyu episode. I'm glad; she and Mamirin are my favorites (but apparently they ruined Mamirin in the anime...? =_=; Haven't seen yet), the first half was great, though. Miyu's just way too cute. And you have the X OVA already?!! O_O Jeal...ous....must keep looking... .....Meimi sparkled @ 07:47 p.m. Monday, September 17, 2001... np: Lively Motion - Hayashibara Megumi Nyoo...Pixie Bell-san, I know you asked a while ago (by now you might have found it ^_^;) but I downloaded Strength at this blog; if you scroll down you should find the link in the September 10th entries. And you got Gravi 10 and 11?! ;_; I'm SO jealous~!! Our Kino's never has the later tankoubon if they have it at all. *mourns* I'm going to have to give in and order online somewhere, I guess. My Touma fangirlism knows no limits. My resolve to have a lovely day was CRUSHED, crushed I tell you, in second block. We were having a test on the Scarlet Letter which the teacher assured us would be simple. ...in the first chapter, we were supposed to remember from all the women debating over Hester's proper punishment, which woman was the YOUNGEST and what HER opinion was?! Like...hell...the whole test was made of pointless questions like that, when we're almost through the entire book already. At least anime club went well and I've now become a worship figure for Katie-chan. Meimi: *sternly* Yes. I brought the tape. Katie-chan: *__* Meimi: The first fifteen episodes of Escaflowne. Katie: *looking as though she's going to burst into tears from joy* Meimi: BUT. You must still come to club meetings when we watch it. Katie-chan: *hughughug* I love you. Meimi: ......you can worship me now. XD And at least Bible class is going nicely. Ali and Tara and I finally got to be in the same class together this year (religion class being the one where you can chat together the most ^^;) and we're having fun, yes. Our group has too much fun giving nicknames. Meimi: *trills* Why, Tarrrraa~! Are you having trouble comprehending this section since you're the Devil? Anyone listening: O_O (Tara being incredibly cute and sweet, and well-known for being so. XD) Ali: You shouldn't talk, Cute Source of All Evil. Meimi: At least I'm cute. .....Meimi sparkled @ 03:50 p.m. Sunday, September 16, 2001... np: Itsuka Dokoka de - Houshin Engi I'm not sick anymore, exactly. Just in the recovery period that's keeping me tired enough to stop me from doing any tasks that aren't mind-numbing (thus the new layout; it's from Gravi eight showing the Touma/Yuki/Shuuichi love triangle in jealous action, for anyone who cares). I'm just tired, ready to go to bed, and have a good day tomorrow. I have things to do, schoolwork to catch up on, a club to be president of...and I want to be just as ready for it as I can be. I don't have much to say beyond that. I don't want to sit around sulking anymore- I've spent a pretty much the whole week alone in the house being sad, and I can't do it anymore. Tin-chama, the bit with the guys reading Turn was too funny- I haven't laughed that hard in ages. Though, the idea that you could now have everyone from chibified cleaver-wielding TxE fangirls, to bonnet-wearing, pierced...Yue x Tomoyo...fanboys...after you to finish it... ^^; .....Meimi sparkled @ 09:08 p.m. pitas.com: providing more sparkly material for touma fangirls everywhere
