Pseudo-Elf Princess Speaks:
Sunday, December 21, 2003 08:33 p.m.
Just got home from my extended family's Christmas party (my dad's side-- my mom's family other than one of her brothers doesn't do much). It was nice to see everyone, though each year I feel that I know my relatives (and they know me) less and less.
For example, colleges. Since we have three juniors and one senior, college talk was flying. And I have thought a little bit about going to Calvin, so that's what I said when they asked me. And then they asked why. And I said that Calvin was close enough (but not too close), and I had heard that they had a good Japanese program, which I want to learn (so I told them). "Why do you want to learn Japanese? What makes you interested in that culture?" I don't think they meant to sound condescending (particularly since three of my extended family's members are in Japan, visiting my cousin), but what am I supposed to say? "Because I simply adore anime-- that is, Japanese cartoons"? *sighs* I delivered some weak ramble about how my history classes have never got as far east as China, so the culture was always a tantalizing mystery for me (which is very true). But if I had said the cold hard truth, they would have pretended they were fine with it, but their smiles would be pained.
It's not that my relatives don't love me (I love them,too), but I know they're a bit wary about the fact that I'm nearly 17 and have neither a driver's liscense nor a job. Yes, I know I am a slacker. But it's not an abnormal thing at all. It's just that one of my cousins got a job at 14, and all of the other cousins my age have jobs and liscenses. And I don't even drive yet (though I will be soon).
Point being? I wish I could just skip this sort of talk until I do have a job. I'm young. My parents aren't pushing me (too hard). I'll get a job a)when I'm ready b)when I have my liscense c)when I find a job. Simple as that.
But on to better things: My gramma, who is wonderful, gives her grandchildren gift certificates for Christmas. So if my draining of funds for purchases I've already made doesn't leave me dry, I can get something at best buy. Yay for not spending any money when I actually had a job! (as a shopper carrier, years ago-- it builds up, but my supply is about gone). And that's all. *blinks* Oh, yeah, and my dad got a new corvette. "New" is a relative term. It doesn't run. It's a project car for Christmas, to replace the one (his first, his favorite) that burned up last year. Cars to him are like . . . anime is to me. I guess. Always looking for new deals, always buying more. Though his are "investments" and mine are "useless." Well, if I find it worth my time, that's my business ^_~ And as long as they let me buy, I have no complaints. Peace out : P

I saw LotR Return of the King yesterday. It. Was. Amazing. In more ways than one. Simply splendid. Made me feel exuberant.
At the moment, I am on the verge of embarking upon the writing of my Epistle Paper, due tomorrow. No, scratch that-- not the writing yet, the researching. Yes, I am insane. Doing critical assignments the night before they're due gives me such a rush *sarcasm*
To add to the misery, I am currently doubting the stability of my computer. As long as it's okay while I write and print my report . . . Peace out : P
Monday, December 15, 2003 08:37 p.m.
Short break. My head doesn't hurt quite as much as it did a few hours ago -- as long as I don't think about what I still have to do, I'll be all right. For a while I was really starting to think I would stay home tomorrow, but I'll probably end up going anyway. Bah. School owns me. Not really. If it did, I'd be done already . . . Peace out : P
Sunday, December 14, 2003 06:05 p.m.
Four hours, and I haven't even STARTED my English or Epistle papers. x.x I did my pre-calc, and I'm working on finishing my journalism. And that's all. How the frick does it take me over four frigging hours for just that . . . *blinks* I wasn't even procrastinating . . . that much . . . *sighs* back to work . . . and I still need to do other stuff . . . *dies* Here's a quiz I took yesterday.
Hoeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! |

You're a Magical Girl!
|
You're sugar-hyped, caffeine-hyped, and permanently genki-er than a whole busload of Disney characters on crack. You eat too much, you're a total klutz, and somehow this makes you an ideal candidate for saving the world. If you're really unlucky, you get to get naked in an embarrassing transformation sequence in every single episode, with only a few sparkles and pastel blobs to cover your dignity.
Which generic anime character are you?
|
*unblinking* *stares* Yes, it's weird. So sue me. o.o I think I'm going to be cranky for the rest of the week . . . Gomen. Peace out : P
Saturday, December 13, 2003 02:00 p.m.
I should work on my papers now . . .
I've dedicated my entire morning to doing things (looking for avatars, making my own avatars, etc.) to my new LJ site, which you can find here.
Since I wrote in that, I don't feel like writing in this, so you can go read my entry there, if you wish. Also, if you got the Chicago Tribune today, you can check out my letter to the editor. Yay. More about that on LJ. No, LJ won't replace pitas. I'll just switch off. Yes, I have too many webjournals. Deal with it. Urgh. Sorry, I'm being sort of cranky today. I'm trying to figure out reasons for cunctation, but it's not working. I don't wanna do homework on a Saturday!! BAHH!!
. . . o.o Peace out : P

Forgetfulness and laziness (respectively) have stopped me from updating the last two days, but now I'm finally here, so you get to hear me ramble. Go you ^^
Tonight my parents and I went to Journey of Joy at Cottage Grove. Journey of Joy basically tells the Christmas story through 8 acted scenes. Groups travel through rooms in the church then end up outside, first with the shepherds and their (real) sheep, then with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus among more (real) animals. My family has gone nearly every year since they began 13 years ago, (and they always use the same scripts and scenes) so it's nothing new. But it's a tradition. And you never know who you might see.
Tonight I saw Mr. B-C, Phil Eizenga, Jon Meter, and Casey Kramer (who no one knows, but is excessively cool). The only one I actually got to talk to was Casey (Mr. B-C was deeply in conversation, I don't even think Phil saw me, and Jon was one of the actors), but that's okay. It was still fun. (Especially since our group had to wait a while at Jon's map description scene, so he and the tour guide were trying to make it not seem like we were waiting, which was quite amusing since we all knew we were waiting.)
Um . . . yes. I have a busy weekend in the way of homework. Yay. Um . . . oh! I read the first chapter of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Blossom Boys). It was good!! Only problem is, every time I try to d/l the second chapter, it won't connect! Gurgh! *kicks computer* *blink blink* *puts on innocent face* o.o Oh, well. I can wait patiently, of course :D
In other news . . . no other news. Um . . . don't blame me if I don't update next week. I will be one busy little bee. . . . busy bee . . . hmm . . . o.o Peace out : P
Tuesday, December 9, 2003 11:15 p.m.
Nakago licked Tamahome. Nakago LICKED Tamahome. Licked. L-I-C-K-E-D. *blinks* *dies*
I'm drained. Monday mornings and long nights of homework. Both put me in that hopeless-I'll-never-get-it-done/I-don't-give-a-rat's-ass-screw-school mood. It didn't used to be this way. Bah. Please ignore my rudeness. I'm going to go punch some pillows with my head now (sleep). Peace out : P
Monday, December 8, 2003 11:09 p.m.
Head hurts homework. Brain can't type. Deadbeat sweet potatoes ran me off the farm. . . . *blink blink* I give up. Eat pie.
Peace out o.o
Sunday, December 7, 2003 08:02 p.m.
I'm a little bit tired at the moment, so I don't think I'll do much of an entry. My head hurts from listening to my brother's seat squeak for the better part of two hours @_@ I swear, I could hear that noise even through my headphones . . .
Enough complaining. Now I need to do the homework which I had . . . never mind. That's still complaining.
Traci: If I can remember to bring them, I will return your Saiyuki cds tomorrow. I haven't finished by a long shot, but I copied what I haven't seen yet onto my compie ^^ Thanks again for letting me use them!!
Um . . . I'd better get to that homework. Junior year will kill me yet . . . Peace out : P

Shamanic Princess reminded me a lot of Rayearth. But perhaps even better. Either way, I completely and unquestionably adore it, and someday I think I'll sit you guys down and force you to watch all three hours of it (2 hour story, 1 hours prequel after that). I am still unable to give a good summary, because it's simply not summarizable (there I go, inventing words to meet my fancy ^^). A lot of the great things about it are spoilers, and to give the barest introduction to it would be to demean the entire thing. So that's that. . . . the only thing I didn't like is that every single opening and ending has what I call "Kagome nudity." You know, like Kagome in the IY anime, where she's completely naked, but has her arms (or strings or whatever) just covering the inappropriate places. And of course, there was a little bit of total nudity in one of the episodes . . . but it wasn't too noticeable. But like I said, that's all. *starry eyes* I love it!
/end bubbliness. Um . . . I have to get up really early tomorrow, and I'll probably be gone for most of the day, so good night now! Peace out : P
Friday, December 5, 2003 10:41 p.m.
Tonight I watched Matrix: Reloaded. Well, that was a waste of time. When your general feeling toward all of the characters becomes 'If you die, I don't give a rat's behind,' what's the point of even watching? *sighs* The only ones I felt a margin of interest in were the Key Maker (coke bottle glasses!), the Oracle (amusing), and Persephone (manipulative and bitchy as she was). All of the 'good guys' can do cool moves and all, but if they're gone . . . So what? *Yeah, I know, the world goes to hell. But that's not the point o.o*
Um . . . on a less medially (yes, I'm making up words--'media' doesn't seem to work in this sentence) abusive note, I . . . *blinks* feel much happier now. ANIME!! There was another bestbuy discount thing this weekend, and I'm Dutch, so if I can save money on something, you can bet I will. So I got the 5th volume of .hack//sign (only one more to go!) and all of Shamanic Princess.
I haven't watched either yet (due to my time-wasting on the Matrix: Reloaded). I already know what happens in .hack, so no surprises there. But with each DVD I get, I learn something new, and I figure I'll have to watch the series at least a dozen more times before I have nothing left to take for granted and all of my questions are answered. So it's worth it.
As for Shamanic Princess . . . I first saw this on the shelves months to years ago, and became interested in it simply because it had such a cheap price and the animation looked pretty. It's an entire 6-episode OVA/OAV (whichever you prefer), contained on one disc for the lovely price of 14.99 (or, that's what one of the stickers said. And if there are multiple stickers not being covered up, usually you can get them to charge the cheapest). And that's not counting the discount (I got it even cheaper ^^). So I did a bit of research (after I first saw it and before I bought it, mind you), and it sounds interesting enough. . . . I can't give an accurate summary at the moment, but it's fantasy and . . . stuff. Character designs were done by one of the Clamp girls, and it was written by the guy who directed Outlaw Star (great with names today, aren't I?). I think there may be a bit of fanservice for the guys (the girls are a bit scantily clad), but the other stuff sounded good, so, hey, why not? No, it's not a throw-away buy. I just like a little bit of surprise when I buy things . . . yes, I do know I'm an odd species (I'm my own species?! . . . o.o)
As usual, what I planned to get (though both the things I did get have been on my mind for months) wasn't . . . available. Vol. 3 of Twelve Kingdoms flat-out wasn't there. Vol. 2 of Infinite Ryvius costs more than I'm willing to spend on a single DVD. *blinks* *kicks self* Gomenasai. I'm complaining again, aren't I? I need to get a rein on myself . . . But don't let that fool you. You should have seen how hyper I was when I got home. I got things I wanted. I saved money. I saved money getting things I wanted! Isn't that a great concept. Now forget all you have just heard. Ignore me. o.o you are getting sleepy . . . very sleepy . . . Peace out : P

^___^ I'm hyped up on Loki pics and fanfiction. And quizzies!! ^__________^
. . . don't ask me what this means o.o
YAY! This is so true, too . . .

I took this quiz, and this is what I got . . . The only part of Gohou Drug I've ever read is the chocolate scene . . . Mmm . . . Chocolate . . . *drools*
Take this Chrno Crusade quiz @ Chrno-crusade.com
. . . as I post this, I don't even remember what I got. It's probably not especially accurate, but I think the pictures are pretty ^^ (I do like Chrno Crusade though. Gun-toting nuns and Akira Ishida ^^)
Which of the Samurai Deeper Kyo Cast Are You?

YAY! I'm a girl I don't know who has cleavage showing! . . . wait a minute . . . o.o
Lots of quizzies, ne? I don't feel like doing homework tonight . . . LAZY! *kicks self* I wonder why I'm in such an odd mood . . . Too much concentrated exposure of Slayers fandom in the past two days, I would guess . . . Hamlet *guffaws* . . . Tee hee! . . . *blink blink* I am so sincerely sorry . . . o.o Peace out : P
Wednesday, December 3, 2003 10:43 p.m.
Can finally write. Back aches from bending over pre-calc. No whining. Was going to rant about something. I'd get flack for it. Too incoherent anyway. Bah. Peace out : P
Tuesday, December 2, 2003 10:29 p.m.
Um . . . want to sleep. Just watched Fushigi Yugi. The series is almost done on I-C. Suzaku seven is dropping like flies, as are the Seiryuu's. Nakago's still evil. Yui's still clueless. Miaka and Tamahome are still annoyingly obsessed with each other. They "got married." Which had them saying "I love you!" for the billionth time and giving each other cheap rings Miaka bought. That's not marriage. No witnesses even. Bah. Tired. Good night now. Peace out : P
Monday, December 1, 2003 09:38 p.m.
Yaaaaay. New episode of Full Metal Alchemist out today. *blinks* I don't even remember what's happening . . . oh, yes, there was that psycho guy with the meat cleaver who chopped people up and said he did it because it was fun and he liked it and there was no other reason . . . o.o it was scary. I wonder what'll happen this episode . . .
So, um . . . I have homework. I have lots of homework. Tomorrow, no doubt, I'll have new stories to write. Bah. Journalism is evil. As are other things. Like the book I'm reading. Grrr . . .
And that's all. Because I have stuff to do. Like homework. o.o Peace out.

Thanksgiving break is probably the most deceptive holiday there is. You think you will have time for finishing all those major projects. Your teachers make you think you will have time by setting the Tuesday back as a designated project due/test date. You don't have time. Bah.
But hey, school brings friends, and December brings Christmas break, and though the road there is long and fraught with tests and compositions and papers, we'll make it somehow, ne?
Speaking of friends . . . Traci-san, I don't know what's happening right now, but just know that we all love you very much and are there to support you. DAISUKI!! (Also, your tagboard has rejected me, though it seems to work otherwise . . .)
That's all I have to say right now. Back to English. I love you all. Peace out : P
Saturday, November 29, 2003 09:18 p.m.
So I finally got a chance to watch some more Saiyuki. YAY! I'm up to ep. 24 right now. It's good, but . . . weird. *blinks* No more than usual, though. But sometimes the fansubbers' grammar gets on my nerves. *shrugs* Well, as long as English isn't their first language, it's okay. But if it is *raises eyebrows* . . . somebody's gotta take some more English classes. But I have no need to complain; I have my fansubs (thanks Megan-san and Traci, no da!) and I can understand what's going on, sooooooo!
I also watched episode 8 of Shingetsutan Tsukihime. . . . It was great, except for . . . except for . . . *screams* WHY?! *sighs* I thought vampires sucked blood from the neck, not . . . other places *blink blink* But . . . the rest of the episode was really good. One thing I love about Tsukihime is the pacing. It's slow but deliberate, and if they can fix things up nice by the end, it will have been a great success. Each episode adds a bit more . . . a boy who can see lines of life or death, a girl who is a high-ranking vampire (but not the way we think of it), a classmate who has inserted herself into her friends' lives and is really so much more than she seems, a sister who isn't quite human, twin maids, and a household with many secrets . . . it's unpredictable, and I've never really seen anything like it. Yes, overused phrasing, but, for example, none of the characters fit to stereotypes, and the plot is hardly conventional. I mean, the series starts with a seemingly ordinary high school boy chopping up some random girl on the street for apparently no reason. When's the last time that's come up in a plot? I mean, without the boy being a deranged maniac who goes on to be the villain of the series. No, this is our protagonist. *blinks* I keep rattling on about series no one else has seen, don't I? It would be all right if I was planning on showing it to you . . . maybe I'll buy it if it ever comes out in the states. But what happened this episode . . . I need to see what's ahead before I decide to spend money on it. So far it's been substantial and gorgeous, but . . . there's still the whole "based on an H-game" deal. Which keeps me on my toes. But I'll shut up now.
What else? I saw a teaser for Howl's Moving Castle. The teaser was 21 seconds long, yet the only thing from the movie that you see are a sketch of the castle and about 6 seconds of it "walking." There was a bit of writing, but it was, of course, in Japanese (most of it was Kanji, by the looks). *sighs* I suppose it's just as well that I must wait. Though, I swear, as soon as somebody fansubs it . . .
Hmm . . . it seems so long since I was in school last, but I've gotten so little done that I wanted to do that it's disgusting. *sighs* Baka homework. Baka "socializing." (yes, Mother, going to your friends' house and getting a headache from listening to a jr. high girl is really "socializing." Right.) Yare, yare. I'm complaining again. Gomenasai. Must stop now. Perhaps I can squeeze a few more episodes of Saiyuki in tonight . . . Peace out : P

It snowed today. I've been up since 5 A.M. Free stuff. Shopping. Yay. Saw Jon Meter at BestBuy. Saw anime at BestBuy. Lines were too long, prices weren't changed. I'm still vaguely wired on caffeine. Can't type. Got dragged to my parents' friends. Thanks. Had to deal with hyper girl Kristin. We played video games. She got hyper and annoying. I told her to shut up. I told her I hate hyper people (when they're like that). It felt good. She completely ignored my comments. With adults, we played cards, talked about Illiana and church situations. Lots about conservative and traditional and unchanging churches like Calvary (my church) that are dying or dead (my church). And places like Faith that are overflowing, and how many some people at churches like Calvary are narrow-minded and won't change and end up killing a church. Hate kills. Some people at Illiana think Faith is nothing but a carnival. I disagree. I can actually pay attention to their sermons. I can understand and learn and get something out of it, not just sit helplessly, trying to keep my mind from wandering off like it always does at Calvary. And there are many people who have been greatly changed. Theology is rock solid, perhaps better than what I was getting from my old church. Maybe not everyone will look and listen and see and hear what I do. Maybe they won't get past the sometimes monotonous praise songs to the message. I don't know. I know wherever I go now doesn't matter much. There's nothing for me either way, but I can listen more easily at Faith. Calvary's elders are visiting on Sunday. Talk about our absence from church. I'll probably be doing homework. If they ask about youth group, I haven't gone in a year and a half, at either church. At least. No time or no desire. Sleepy. Much to do, so short is my "vacation." Ha. Don't pity me. My own fault, all. Please ignore this entry. I need to go saturate myself with some more "Bleach." Good night.

Thanksgiving was a little bit disappointing this year. My gramma's visiting my aunt in Colorado, so we didn't have the big family get together that we usually do. I didn't think I liked it that much, but compared this Thanksgiving . . . I kind of miss it. But, hey, I got food and got to see my granpa, so I was happy ^^
The rest of the day I spent watching "The Bourne Identity" and "The Time Machine." "Bourne" was pretty good-- the plot was a trifle weak, but it was an interesting premise, and the weaknesses only allowed for some cool action scenes. "Time Machine" on the other hand . . . it sucked. I knew it would, but my mom got it from the library and Will suggested we watch it, so we did. The plot was muddled and filled with holes (yeah, right, they still know our language 800,000 years in the future. Bah.), the actors were blah, and the special effects were crap. Also, there was no tension at all. If all of the characters had died, I wouldn't have really cared. I spent most of the movie making fun of it (at first, I just hoped it would get better . . .) Not even worth that, though. Then again, it was nice to hang out with my brother, even if we were basically ignoring each other. After all, Thanksgiving is a good time for seeing your family.
Um . . . I guess I'll go do something else now, so I can get up early. I think I'm going shopping tomorrow morning with my mom and brother. There's not much of interest to me in the papers, but at least I'll have the opportunity to scope out anime (and perhaps even buy something . . .) Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! Peace out : P
Wednesday, November 26, 2003 10:37 p.m.
I had fun hanging out with Megan, Traci, and Jen this afternoon ^^ *sighs* but it seems like every time we all get together, everything is rushed and we don't get nearly as much done as we'd like. But I'm just thankful to see you guys ^__^ Daisuki, minna-san! Sorry I'm so selfish and complain all of the time . . . next time I do that, tell me to stop. Seriously. I annoy myself even *blinks*
Tonight I watched the movie Gladiator. It was . . . a mix of things I liked and didn't like. The acting was quite good, especially on the parts of the emperor and his sister, and the story was interesting, but Maximus [the main character]. . . okay, Russell Crow did a fine job. Maximus is loyal and freedom-loving and children-loving and wife-loving and dedicated and strong and well-liked and a good general and . . . in the end, all he was is a "good guy." Motivations? Um . . . he's a good guy?? This kind of character seems popular in movies appealing to guys. He looks good on the surface, but does anyone know what's underneath? What he's thinking? I suppose internal dialogue must not be a 'manly' thing. Maybe I just wish it was there because I'm a girl and "I like to talk about feelings." But, in my oh-so-humble opinion, Maximus himself is slightly bland. But that's okay, because the other characters have plenty of personality and motivation (Joaquin Phoenix as the emperor had my skin crawling with his disturbing behavior). And the story is well-thought out, the end fit with plot developments up to that point, the settings and costumes were lovely, and the CG wasn't too in your face (though, if you're like me--or pickier--it wasn't hard to spot in places). So it was worth a few hours for a diversion and I would probably recommend it even--provided you don't mind a bit--er, more than a bit--of bloodshed and violence. Oh, yes, and I liked the song played during the credits a lot.
Speaking of music . . . I was so obsessed with that song "The Day after Tomorrow" by Saybia that I immediately looked them up on Bearshare and Google. From this, I managed to get both the mp3 of the song (YAYNESS!) and a bit of information on the group. It turns out Saybia is actually from Denmark, so I presume that all of those sites on the first few results that I got on google were impossible to read because they were in Danish (I thought the words looked somewhat . . . European?? Reminiscent of German?? Though some of them may have been in German . . . I probably wouldn't know . . .) This turn of events makes me really wonder where you got that mp3, Traci . . . Hmm . . .
What else to say . . . ? Well, I suppose I should send out the obligatory "Happy Thanksgiving" ^_~ before I send out the usual "Peace out" : P

Updated the links section with the additions of:
Toriyama's World scanlations: Manga scanlation site which has released, among other things, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, and Full Moon wo Sagashite (though they only have 4 chapters of that).
Sakura Crisis scanlations: (which I'm sure all of you are familiar with) Gravel Kingdom, Yami no Matsuei, Alichino, Ludwig Kakuen, Yamada Taro, and many, many more.
Manga Screener scanlations: Kakan no Madonna and a variety of other things (most of which I haven't read yet).
Anime on DVD: A very good place to find anime news, has TONS and TONS of reviews.
. . . and that's all. Um . . . I don't have much to say, other than I can't wait until school finishes tomorrow!! YAY!! WE GET TO SEE MEGAN-SAN!!! ^_^ *heh* Yes, that shall be good. Unfortunately, I have much homework to do before then, so . . . Peace out : P
Monday, November 24, 2003 06:28 p.m.
@_@ i feel like soy sauce . . . *blinkety blink*
Today was an odd day. Usually I keep myself from acting insane in front of everyone but my close friends (and other weird people who don't notice). But today . . . I was pretty . . . off. Very off. In front of everyone. *blinks* And now I'm sleepy. And I have lots of homework. Gr. I just want to . . . go . . . play SNES or something *blinks* Peace out : P
Sunday, November 23, 2003 07:35 p.m.
Well, here I am again.
It's a rainy day today. Perfectly lovely day to curl up with a book or movie, unfortunately, I still have homework to do (Gomen, Megan-san, I don't know if I'll be able to get the chance to go on IM . . .) Bah, my own fault really, I should have done my precalc right when it was assigned . . . *kicks lazy self*
Hm. As I said, I have homework, so I'm make this quick. Hm. *blinks* That . . . is . . . all . . . Peace out : P

Oh, by the way, I finally d/l Filezilla and have installed it. Problem is, I have no idea whatsoever what I am supposed to do with it/how to use it. So if anyone has any suggestions . . . it would be very much appreciated ^^ That's it for now. Peace out : P

It was starting to get late, so I figured I should post before I decide to go to bed . . . only, I don't really have anything to say. So . . . *silence* Um . . . I started d/l the Yami manga from Sakura-crisis.net The quality isn't very good, though, and the first chapter . . . didn't make a whole lot of sense, as far as the dialogue went (don't try to explain it to me--I know what happened, but the translation was very . . . odd). So . . . I don't know. It's not that I don't like Yami . . . it just makes me . . . think . . . weird things. *blinks* Gomen, I'm babbling. Lessee . . . nanimo, nanimo. Oh, wait! I watched bits of Pokemon the movie 3 tonight. It really, really stunk. The animation was total crap *shudders* But it was almost vaguely amusing . . . Almost -_-;; Peace out : P

Yay! New layout, finally. Hmm . . . this one would probably be more appropriate come January (especially since "Ichigatsu no Aoi Tsuki" means 'Pale January Moon,' from the song "Yasashii Yoake"), but I like this picture more than my other winter one, and I just couldn't wait to use it. So there you have it. Um . . . I suppose it could be better, but . . . *blinks* Hey, I just don't have time ^^ By the way, is it just my computer, or does this top picture take a really long time to load? Well, it is from a quiz found here, so . . .
That's all I guess. Peace out : P
Thursday, November 20, 2003 04:45 p.m.
Um . . . short entry. White Water was . . . disappointing. No one from Illiana won anything. The judge liked my poems at least . . .
Um . . . Sorry I've been a little funny lately. A combination of inadequate sleep over long periods of time and bad timing is rather . . . uncomfortable for someone to have. So . . . I'm going to go . . . do stuff now . . .
Tuesday, November 18, 2003 07:37 p.m.
Bah, I was too tired yesterday and don't have enough time today for an entry with anything more than a few key phrases: White Water tomorrow, Stupid Echo, I hate Echo staffers, Writing for a paper sucks, and Have a nice day! Oh, yes, and do look to my quote of the moment box for the final phrase. It's my favorite ^_~ Peace out : P
Sunday, November 16, 2003 05:46 p.m.
Blah. I feel utterly and completely blah today. Ick. I wish I could choose my time off from school. I definitely could use a few days' worth of sleeping in and reading and playing video games (I don't think I've even touched my playstation since school started. Seriously.) *sighs* Two weeks til Thanksgiving break, not that it's much of one. And Christmas won't be too soon after . . . Only a little over a month . . . Agh . . . I'm so lazy -_-;; Peace out : P
Saturday, November 15, 2003 07:03 p.m.
After going on the Scribes' bookshopping field trip with Jen-chan this morning (was fun, no da, I got only two books, though), I turned on the fireplace, plopped down in the basement, and finally watched the movie "Tuck Everlasting."
It was kind of sappy, but good nonetheless ^^ The scenery and lovely music were especially nice (I'm almost considering hunting down the soundtrack when I have a few extra dollars--if they even released one). You know, I'm positive I read the book years ago (that's why I wanted to see the movie; I remember liking the book), but it's been a while, and other than the whole spring of everlasting life idea, I didn't recognize any of the movie's elements. I don't even remember it being a love story! *blinks* So either I need to go read it again (which I plan on doing), or Disney changed the plot a whole lot. But, as I already said, I did like it. It's nice to see two people in love who treat each other with such innocent purity. Yes, there was some kissing, but it wasn't nasty *coughsFAKEcoughs* like it is in many places. Anyway, the movie brings up some interesting issues *points to quote of the moment* Just in case you're too lazy to look, it says this: "Don't be afraid of death, Winnie, be afraid of the unlived life. You don't have to live forever; you just have to live." So says "Tuck" (the father in the Tuck family). And I think it's something good to think about. I mean, it'd be cool to never die, but, after a while, would you really even be living anymore? Of course, I do believe in life after death, but that's a whole different matter. So . . . ^^ that's all I have to say right now. Get well soon, all people with colds! (Jen-chan, me, most other people . . .) Peace out : P
Thursday, November 13, 2003 09:49 p.m.
Bah. I have a cold. Not that I didn't already, but now it's spread to my nose, so it's easy to tell, and I have to blow my nose every few minutes. But it's better than when I had the sore throat and, ergo, no voice. And it's okay. After all, fear not, a stuffy nose shall not impede my going on the Scribes field trip! Book-shopping, here I come! (Though, due to my relative lack of funds, I don't know how much I'll buy. But books are cheaper than anime . . .)
Um, yes. Tonight I had the pain/pleasure of being "honored" in a boring ceremony for being on the HHR last year. Basically, teachers read names, students stand up, and everyone laughs over how few of those being honored actually came. I was seriously afraid none of my friends would be there, but two of them were also forced (like me, by their parents) to go, so I was not alone in my suffering. Okay, truth be told, it really wasn't that bad. But a high-calorie piece of cake as a reward for sitting there boredly for 45 minutes isn't exactly my idea of a great deal. Now, if they had biscotti . . . Mmm . . . I love biscotti *drools* . . . *blinks* What was I saying?
Oh, yeah, I finished Kare Kano. I think it had to have had the worst ending I have ever seen. I mean, all of the episodes including the last one are great, but it doesn't feel like it should stop there. What about Arima's developing scary possessiveness? What about the play all of the girls were going to put on? What about the relationship between Tsubasa and Kazuma? Tsubaki and Tonami? Maho and the 28-year-old dentist? What about Yukino and Souichiro?! I mean, really, they didn't even show the two main characters in the second half of the last episode. What about Souichiro's fear of Yukino leaving him? What about . . . everything! *sighs* It's a good thing I love Kare Kano's manga, otherwise I would be more than just perturbed right now. It's like they weren't even expecting it to end at that point, and just decided to tack on the placard saying "And so, his and her stories continue . . ." at the end of the episode at last minute. It seems they even forgot to remove the "See you next time!" title at the end (though, at the end of the ordinary credits, they did have the word "end"). Bah. I still adore Kare Kano, it just bugs me that they didn't even make an effort to wrap things up (or, at least, not start the things they couldn't finish). Especially since the series contains no less than 3 recap episodes and episode 25 has absolutely nothing to do with anything (it's a side story about Yukino's sisters). *mutters* Just keep waiting for the manga . . . just keep waiting for the manga . . . damn Gainax! Grr . . . *heh* *coughs politely* But other than that (and the questionable scene and the . . . other stuff), Kare Kano was good. Yep yep. . . . Peace out : P

At the moment I'm trying to write my stories for the paper, but it's not quite working. *slams head against moniter* Why won't anything come out?! Grr. I don't know how anyone can manage to have fun writing an article. It's so . . . creativity-drying. For me, at least. Because I'm sure it's not supposed to be that way. In addition, the strongs winds today are freaking me out because I think they've already pushed some power lines about, causing our lights to flicker momentarily--twice as of now. *sighs* Losing power would just be a kick in the face right now. Unless the school lost power too and classes were canceled . . . extremely unlikely. *darn* Um . . . watched a few more episodes of Kare Kano. I'll probably address that later. It was . . . well . . . *sighs* anyway, the episode in question is titled "Progress" and I assume that refers to things happening in Yukino and Souichiro's relationship. So . . . it wasn't bad at all, just . . . like I said, later. Or ask, if you want. I guess I'll take another stab at those articles now. With luck they'll die slowly and painfully . . . *blinks* *heh* Peace out : P
Tuesday, November 11, 2003 05:42 p.m.
YAY! I have now received my Christmas present. Meaning that the coupon I had for Bestbuy worked and they had the Kare Kano boxset. YAAAAAAAYYYYY!! Happiness ^_^ Nothing beats getting something you've been waiting for at a quite lovely price.
So today was a pretty good day. We got our report cards, too, and that went as well as can be expected, considering it included my Honors Physics grade (which I already knew and isn't really that bad), but all of my other classes were just peachy. And I got the second interview that I needed for my messed-up article, so now I just need to take a picture and write the stories (easier said than done -_-) So all is well. You know, except for the Physics test today that I probably didn't do so good on, but let's just ignore that -_-;; Umm . . . lessee . . . while I have a moment, I'll do a quick Ryvius write-up!!
Infinite Ryvius (Re-VIE-us--sounds sorta like "revise us")
Plot: Okay, so there are some kids on a space station and the instructors all die and they're stranded and stuff . . . Lord of the Flies in Space? . . . um . . . click here for a summary of the first three episodes. I know it sounds sort of techno-y, but it's really not as confusing as it sounds. And I'm sure they'll explain everything later . . .
Animation: While the character designs aren't complex, they're cute and likable. I think the plainness lends a sense of reality to the show (especially since a few of the characters look as 'unpretty' as normal people), and it definitely didn't dampen my liking of it. A lot of the characters are kind of on the skinny side (Faina looks close to anorexic), but they're not diproportionately so. If they're skinny, they're skinny all over. I guess it all depends on taste, but I think the character designs works well with the atmosphere of the show. You have nearly 500 kids; they're not all going to look like models. Oh, yeah, and while you can tell this isn't the newest show (it was released in Japan in '99), it still looks good for its age.
Music: There's not a great amount of music, but when there is, the style varies. Some people like the music, some people don't. I like it well enough, and I'll leave it at that.
Characters: Ah, the lifeblood of Ryvius. The great thing about the characters (in my opinion) is that the majority of them are normal people. Really. They don't have freaky special powers (with some exceptions) or mad mecha/fighting skills. Sure some of them have talents, but basically they're just a cross-section of the kids of society, all smashed together and stuck on an astronaut training center in space. I'll highlight a few of the main ones.
Aiba, Kouji- The main character. He's a follow the rules kind of guy, so much so that when he and Ikumi go to save someone's life, Kouji says he's doing it because that's what the rule book told him was his priority. Other than that, he hearkens the memory of Jake from the animorphs (I'm not quite sure why, though).
Aiba, Yuki- Kouji's younger brother. There's something that happened in their past that caused the two to hate each other, but so far it's just been hinted at. Basically, where Kouji follows the rules, Yuki ignores them. He's kind of bratty and is probably a chronic dater. He's also very talented at piloting, etc.
Housen, Aoi- The childhood friend of Kouji and Yuki, she has sort of a motherly attitude toward the two of them. She's seen around Kouji more than Yuki, but she defends Yuki at least once or twice. She probably knows what happened in the past between Kouji and Yuki (but I'm not sure).
Oze, Ikumi- Kouji's roommate and friend. I like Ikumi ^^ He's very easy-going and thus provides contrast to Yuki's straight-laced attitude. He's a bit of a flirt, but he seems to have his own past secrets, as is hinted at when he goes a bit off and says he REALLY, REALLY hates it when people die (when he tried to save someone), and he doesn't want it to happen "again." He is also a talented pilot, coming in 2nd (after Yuki).
Izumi, Kozue- Aoi's friend/roommate (?) and presumably Ikumi's girlfriend. She is cute and hyper, and some people may find her slightly annoying (I don't). She is at bit clingy when it comes to Ikumi, but her genkiness is refreshing.
Bahana, Juli (YOO-lee)- the top student in the Zwei (like upperclassmen), Juli is one of my favorite female characters. She kind of ends up taking control when the instructors die, because she has the valuable ability to stay calm. She's sort of like an older sister figure ^^
Blue, Airs- Airs is . . . well, he's the leader of a sort of rebel group among the students. He says barely a word, but his appearance and attitude exudes cool rebellion. MYSTERY!!
Shinazaki, Faina- the slightly mysterious girl that Kouji and Ikumi save. She's kind of quiet, too, and Kouji rather likes her, I think. She is the owner of Rafra, that indelibly cute ferret ^^
Campbell, Pat- Sqwee!! Cutie-pie! Pat is the Chid of Ryvius. His daddy was an instructor, and (along with the others) gave his life to help the rest of the people escape. After that, Juli takes this little darling under her wing. As you can tell, I like Pat a lot ^^
Mysterious girl in purple (aka, "Neya")- She's the un-ordinary character. Completely mysterious, her dialogue seems to consist completely of others' unspoken thoughts. Who is she? What is her purpose? Where did she come from? I guess it will be revealed later.
There are at least half a dozen more 'secondary' characters, and even more who appear once in a while whose names I don't know yet. There's more info on the link I gave in the plot section, but it's kind of overwhelming ^^
Sub vs. Dub: I'm neither a subbie nor a dubbie, and that's something I want to remain the same. The dub has some familiar names and isn't too bad, but I prefer the sub. Why? While the boys' voices are generally good (Kouji is slightly overacted and I don't like Kirby Morrow as Yuki the brat, but Ikumi is done very well), the girls' voices range from borderline--Aoi--to annoying, particularly Kozue's (she's genki, not squeaky) and Kelly Sheridan as Juli (Why??). The sub, on the other hand, sports a calmer cast, and there's not an icky voice among the bunch. So I can watch the dub without having my ears bleed, but the sub is better.
Umm . . . I think I covered all the bases. Wow, that was long. Gomen ^^ Now you know. I can't wait til I can get the second volume. The plot is about as far from episodic as you can get, and the drama is good, so it would almost be nice to be able to see all of the episodes at one time. But I can be patient ^^ That's all for now. Peace out : P
Monday, November 10, 2003 09:17 p.m.
Umm . . . *stares blankly off into space* You know, I have time right now, but I need to spend it doing other things, so you will be blessed with a short entry. *blinks* . . . *silence* . . . I have lots of things to do tomorrow. Not fun. . . . Van is hot o.o Peace out : P
Sunday, November 9, 2003 09:57 p.m.
Ignore that last entry. Since it, I have finished my physics and taken a chill pill. Now I feel melllloooow. Yay. I was going to post a full review of Ryvius, but . . . *sweatdrops* by the time I finished watching it in both dub and sub yesterday, I had to get ready for the play. And today . . . was not such a good day (generally days when I wake up after 9 or 10 aren't. I think it throws off my biological clock). But maybe . . . next weekend? *heh* I don't know when I'll have time. Probably whenever I have time to make a new layout (which I've been wanting to do for a while now). Oh, well. Such is life. *sighs* Now my biggest worry is how that story will work out *I'm not even going to think about it* Peace out : P
Sunday, November 9, 2003 05:04 p.m.
Bah. I don't really feel like doing much of anything today. My head hurts. And I think I may be getting sick. But I can't stay home tomorrow or Tuesday, because tomorrow I have an interview and Tuesday I have at least 3 tests, which I would rather not have to make up. Also, on Friday I discovered one of my stories is majorly !$#%#@-up because I don't even know what I'm supposed to be writing about (incidentally, it's not really my fault, I don't think). And I already had the interview. And I need to find out what's up and talk to various people I have little or no desire to talk to and write a story by Thursday (deadline). Can we say . . . I don't know. And I have a few hours of Physics piling up, which I really have to do today. I really really really hate junior year. Peace out : P
Sunday, November 9, 2003 01:30 a.m.
Back from cast party. Wasn't that great (not unusual). Mom fell asleep while waiting, so she was about 20 minutes late. Was very sorry. It's okay, though. Sleep now. Peace out.
Friday, November 7, 2003 10:25 p.m.
Day two of play-ness. Today was a riot. Just everything . . . partyboy *sighs dreamily* *cracks up* . . . gomen ne. Only Jen-chan will understand. But, yes, it was really funny. I mean, the play itself is always pretty funny, but, outside of that, the time around it was much funnier. So, yeah. Bye now. Peace out : P
Thursday, November 6, 2003 10:26 p.m.
Ah, opening night of Taming of the Shrew. I guess it went well. I don't really know . . . I spend most of my time behind the scenes (excepting the few times I come on to produce or remove benches). But, in spite of being slightly bittersweet (sorry to wax melancholic--to not say something would be dishonest) due to my new 'role,' it was good nonetheless. Being part of the play--particularly when there's a large audience to cater to--always gives me a undefinable sort of energy, almost a burst of euphoria. And don't get me wrong, I most sincerely adore props running. I have few worries about messing up, no nasty stage make-up, fun people to hang out with between scenes (and Jen-chan, too!!), and get to laugh at the actors while they do their make-up. Funness. So all went well, all was well. I can't wait for tomorrow. And the next day ^_^ And the cast party! Yay. Sorry if I sound funny or am using incorrect grammar. I think my brain died sometime during H. Physics today, and I'm kind of sleepy, too. Good night, peace out : P
Thursday, November 6, 2003 03:56 p.m.
(!) I didn't know Tsukihime was based off of an H-game . . . it's been fine so far, but I knew there was just something fishy about it . . . the character designs or something . . . twin maids . . . *sighs*
Wednesday, November 5, 2003 11:20 p.m.
Sleep is good. Do not take it for granted. It's not very nice . . .
I finally got to watch some of Ryvius (1-3 out of 5, YAY!) It was . . . addictive. I need more! Muy bien ^__^ It wasn't as grim and serious as I thought it would be either (while nothing was outright funny--which I expected--some things were . . . amusing ^^) I haven't yet decided which characters I like and don't like (except for Ikumi and Airs Blue *squee!*), but so far they're mostly good (Lucson has a square head *giggles*) Um . . . me sleepy now . . . or, study, then sleepy. Peace out : P
Tuesday, November 4, 2003 10:20 p.m.
*insert entry here*
Monday, November 3, 2003 08:46 p.m.
Don't you hate assignments that should by all rights be easy but are actually a pain? Well I do. I could be watching Infinite Ryvius right now (ARIGATOU, JEN-CHAN!! *LOVE!* o.o sorry, I'll shut up now), but instead, I'm stuck looking up stuff for a map assignment because it's not in the book! Grr . . .
So the play is going on now (for me, at least). It's not too bad. I get to hang out with Jen for Acts I-III, then spend IV and V in the suffocating heat of the stage right room. I don't have to do much, though, so it's all good.
As for the rest of school? Usual, except it's driving me nuts that I should be setting up/conducting interviews, but I feel much too pressed in on other sides to do so. I've said it before, I'll say it many times more: I really hate interviewing. But you all already know that. So just ignore me ^^ Time to get back to maps . . . Peace out : P
Sunday, November 2, 2003 07:25 p.m.
Meh. I hate homework. And the Echo. And most journalism-related things in general. Especially interviewing. And making interviews. *sighs* I would really quit the Echo if I could. But . . . I don't feel like I can. So . . . grin and bear it, I guess *heh* 2 months down, 7 to go *dies* . . .
Um . . . *blinks* Lately I don't have anything to say. I think my brain is dying from lack of use O.o Peace out : P
Saturday, November 1, 2003 09:04 p.m.
Ummmmm . . . . . . . Vampire Game rocks my world : P I love it. But . . . *blinks* *shudders* never mind ^^ Me's sleepish . . . nighties. Peace out : P

Ooh! It's Halloween! Should I be scared? Well, I'm not. But, um, happy Halloween. The next paragraph is useless drivel and may be easily skipped.
Yep. I went to the mall today with my mom, with the full intention of using this gift certificate I have, good for use at Walden/Borders/some other store. She got it through one of her credit cards, so there was some extra that she got or something (otherwise I wouldn't have it). The thing is, right now Suncoast has a sale on Tokyopop manga, buy 1 get one 50% off. Which is a better deal than Mom's extra thing on the gift certificate. So I ending up buying Kare Kano 4-5 (manga) and Vampire Game 2-3 at Suncoast. Then we checked out the Bestbuy nearby, and they had the Kare Kano (anime) boxset! *sighs* I swear, I would have gotten it right then and there, but I told my mom about some coupon coming up in the future for DVD collector's sets (I'm hoping this qualifies), and, since it would be her buying it for me for Christmas (since I'm past broke right now *heh*), she decided it would be best to wait. Because 'we can always come back later.' I hope it's still there later . . . no, I'll shut up. I'm overly spoiled, I know. No reasons to complain ^^ I was just thinking today over how much money I've spent on stuff that I regret buying. *sighs* But most of the stuff (anime and manga related) I've bought on some special or coupon or something, so then I don't feel so bad. Dutch cheapness shines through again!
Er . . . sorry that last paragraph was impossibly boorish. *heh* Er . . . I hope you all (Megan Traci Jen) are having a good time at Purdue . . . if you're not, start having one now ^__^ See ya later! Peace out : P
Thursday, October 30, 2003 10:41 p.m.
No school tomorrow. That's something that I'm very happy about ^^
Um . . . today . . . I got to watch the play. It. Was. HILARIOUS. So very bad, though. Bad, as in perverted. But, hey, I'm perverted, too *as Jen knows* so it's all good ^_~
Hmm . . . I got my assignments for the next Echo. Blah. I wish they could've waited until Monday, so that I could at least enjoy my weekend . . . things will be very hectic next week, though. I'm going to have to set up interviews *somehow* while juggling homework and rehearsals from 6-10p.m. Goodness. If this doesn't kill me . . . well, then I guess I'll be happy to be alive ^^ *heh* Er . . . I don't have much else to say. Except for 'Enjoy this quiz!'
Which Shaman King Guy Is Perfect for you
brought to you by Quizilla
*cracks up* I took this on a whim . . . it was messed up . . . but somehow that made it amusing to me . . .
Er . . . Peace out : P
Wednesday, October 29, 2003 06:01 p.m.
*dances around* YAY! I really don't have much substantial homework to do tonight. Meaning only the physics I have backlogged, the journalism newspaper logs, and studying for precalc and Spanish tests. *heh* But that's much less than usual, so . . . all is well ^^
Um . . . er . . . what's left to say? One more day, and then a three-day weekend. Could I be happier? Should I be happier? . . . sorry, my brain is too fried for contemplation XD Anyway . . . dinner'll be ready soon, so it's just about time for me to go. I dunno what to write about . . . *whinge* OH, yeah, props running starts meeting tomorrow night. That's terrifying to me. Mossy es afraid! WAHH!! I know, it's really no big deal. But I'm still not exactly sure what I need for a costume, and with the play being the next week and all . . . I'm very nervous. But time to go, byebyebyebye!! Peace out : P
Tuesday, October 28, 2003 09:16 p.m.
Just posting a quick entry while I wait for anime suki to load *kicks it* Then I shower and go to sleepy *bliss* Um . . . I found a few more reasons to like Full Metal Alchemist: The animation actually does pleasantly remind me of Scrapped (it's probably the color schemes and lighting), and Edward, the main character, has a nice a-- *stops dead* O.O
. . . no, I didn't mean that O.o sorry *shoves perverted thoughts away* *gomengomengomengomengomen* *mutter*hisfaultforwearingsuchtightpants*mutter* ANYWAY. Er . . . ^^; what is with anime guys and tight pants anyway? It's like they're just asking you to--
*ahem* So, yeah, I'm getting more Full Metal Alchemist. It seems to be more popular than my other stuff, so . . . then it'll d/l faster ^^ Um . . . what else? I got a . . . no, never mind . . . I . . . nope . . . that's all, I guess ^^ Peace out : P
Monday, October 27, 2003 09:41 p.m.
Double post! Now that I've oh-so-crappily finished that long-term assignment that has been hanging over my head (not to mention the other annoying one that I got last Friday . . .), I feel slightly less dead and almost ready to talk all of your ears off (or whatever the typing equivalent of that is).
Anyway, I saw Full Metal Alchemist ep. 1 earlier today on the recommendation of some site and because one of the screenshots I saw reminded me of Scrapped Princess, animation-wise (it was a fluke, though both have rather nice animation). I rather liked it. It's nothing deep or meaningful or amazing, but I haven't watched a shounen style show in a while (. . . have I ever watched a shounen show?? I guess I've only read manga . . . and DBZ ^^;), and it's a lot more fun than anything else I've seen recently (excluding AnoM; the other stuff I've seen is really cool, but none of it is lighthearted like this is, in spite of some serious undertones). But, anyway, the main character--Edward, I think--is sort of cute and I want his outfit o.o That jacket is cool. Um . . . yes. I'm trying to think why else I like it, but I'm kind of drawing a blank. Oh, well ^^ a cute outfit is reason enough.
Um . . . I also watched ep. 3 of Shingetsutan Tsukihime, which was good, and now I even have a better understanding of who is what and what's going on. I really liked it that they used a different sort of concept for their vampires (it may not be new, but it's new to me). Plus, Shiki's 'Eyes of the shinigami' or whatever name they're supposed to have are really cool, if only because they're something a little bit different. So all is well there.
Well . . . speaking of well, Get well soon, Traci-chan!! *but don't come to school if you're sick again ^^*
Er . . . that's all. I'd hate to keep going since I would like to sleep now, so . . . Peace out : P
Monday, October 27, 2003 08:18 p.m.
Bah. Don't want to do homework. Even less than usual, I mean. Is very cold and dry in this house. Lovely. Baaaaaaah. Want to sleep now. Sleeeeeepiiiiiiie . . . sorry, ignore me. Peace out x.x
Sunday, October 26, 2003 07:08 p.m.
Lately I haven't really felt like posting any actual entries, with today being no exception. Perhaps I'm just worried pitas is going to crash again . . . which would suck. In addition, at the moment I have no desire to talk about my life, because all it seems to be is laziness and too much to do (namely homework). Somebody tell me that it gets better from here on . . . because right now, I'm turning apathetic again. Which probably isn't a good thing. So . . . um . . . that's all I have to say. Peace out o.o

Um . . . I do entry. Watched Ranma 1/2. Was . . . odd. Went to Traci's. Watched ep. 5 of Witch Hunter Robin, ep. 8 of FMP, and eps. 1-3 (?) of 12 Kingdoms with Traci and Justin. It was fun. The end. Peace out *drifts off* Zzz

Finally archived all my stuff *it was getting much too long* I hope to make and put up a new layout soon, but I haven't had time to work on one *just switching up the colors and changing the pictures takes me forever--I need just the right combination* Have now watched AnoM to 16, and have been waiting for a few days for the rest to come. Soon, I hope. I'll try to write more later, but I really have to go right now, so ja!!
