Me alive. Yeah. @_@;; Ah tired. Using office computer. Will blog more later. x.x;; *dies*

///// Wednesday, May 29, 2002 ///// 06:59 p.m. /////

Well about to board plane. They have internet access for free here so I thought I'd write a message before I go. It should take about 13 hours for the whole flight and then it's back on Canadian soil! ^_^

A little sad...I cried because I was saying goodbye to my relatives. I will miss them...and I don't know the next time I can see them...

Hopefully flight will be uneventful. There was too much shaking last time. x.x;; Pray for Meta everyone!! *laughs* See ya all when I get back to Toronto! Ja ne!!

///// Saturday, May 25, 2002 ///// 01:35 a.m. /////

OH MY GOD. I got SO DRUNK last night. @_@;;; But that wasn't the start of the evening so let me start from the top. x.x;;

My bro's girlfriend got us some free tickets to a really swanky dinner at a really expensive hotel. It turns out that her friend works for this golf resort company that just had its first amateur tournament. So the dinner was planned to hand out the awards, etc. Now, I didn't have any nice clothes with me because this wasn't an expected event. ^^; So I spent a day going nuts shopping. Clothes shopping in Korea is...brutal. @_@;; If I ever have to do that again, I will commit seppuku. @_@;;

So we went to the hotel...unfortunately we first went to the wrong hotel. -_-;; So we had to walk a few blocks to the COEX Inter-Continental Hotel. ^^; Really nice place...I was impressed. There was a lot of people too and we sat beside some interesting people. o_O;; Two women and two men...who all had no class and was very rude. x.x;; The poor waiters/waitress...they got harrased a lot. x.x;;

The dinner itself was FANTASTIC. *_* I think it was a 6 course meal...can't quite remember. But the Tuscan style salmon was so so good...it just melted in my mouth. *_* After the dinner, they gave out the awards and shit and then the singing started. One singer came on in traditional Korean dress and sang folk songs. She was SO GOOD. Korean style folk singing is quite different from other Asian music...it's really nice though. ^_^ And then after her, a really famous singer came on. I didn't know it but it turns out that this lady has been singing for like 30 years and is really popular with the older crowd. And a few mor awards given and we were outta there. ^_^

Afterwards, bro and Pearl (that his gf's name) took me to their favourite bar, The New Orleans. It turns out that they were really chummy with the guy who owned the place. We sat down, I took a few pics with my bro's really complicated camera, and sipped some banana colada. Was yum! *_* Then Dave ordered me a bottle of beer...and I really hate beer. x.x;; Well this one wasn't too bad...the taste was quite mild.

Now...the guy who owns the place (Mr. Jun) then came. He was a really nice guy and he kinda dragged my bro away. ^^;; Me and Pearl chatted for a while and then we noticed that Dave and he seemed extremely drunk. o_O;; They had been doing shots and had already emptied half of a Jack Daniel's whiskey. >_<;; We joined them at that point and I kept telling Mr. Jun I don't drink but he insisted I have a shot. @_@;; AHH!! Ok so I did and oh man did it taste horrible. That whiskey was burning a fucking trail down my throat. x.x;; I don't know how he and Dave was chugging those shots in one go because I had to sip it. x.x;;

Then Dave got sick and had to go puke in the bathroom. >_<;;Pearl went with him to make sure he was ok and they were gone for a while...so Mr. Jun kept giving me shots. x.x;; We ended up finishing off the rest of the whiskey and start on a bottle of tequila...

Now by this point, I was TOTALLY smashed. @_@;; I have never been drunk before and actually it was a pleasant sensation. x.x;; I always wondered what kinda drunk I would be. A happy drunk? A crying drunk? A puking drunk? Well seeing as by the end of the night I had drunk more than my brother I found out that I am a Happy Drunk. ^^v Yeah, go me!! Me and Mr. Jun were having so much fun and we were both drunk off our asses. @_@;;;

Ok...now...for people who have read Hanakimi, they would know that Sano is a kissy drunk. ^^;; I always wondered how anyone can possiblye be a kissy drunk...and now I know...because I am one! @_@;; Along with the happy happy joy joy euthoria, I think I kissed Mr. Jun a lot. @_@;; I wasn't the one who iniated it!! He just suddenly asked me "Give me a kiss" so I was like "Sure! ^_^ *smooch*" @_@;;; *bangs head against wall* WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!! WE WERE JUST CELEBRATING HIS NEW ENGAGEMENT TO HIS GIRLFRIEND!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS I DOING KISSING HIM??!! OR BETTER QUESTION, WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE DOING ASKING ME KISS HIM WHEN I WAS TOTALLY PLASTERED!!!!!!! @_@;;;;;;;

Ahem...anyway, it's wasn't like french kissing or anything...just pecks...nothing bad...lalalalalala

After he closed the bar, we went to a restaurant and had more alcohol, this time soju. @_@;; That's rice wine for the people who don't know. >_<;; And oh my god, I was so smashed. >_<;; No really, I kept on switching languages from English to Korean to Japanese and back again. x.x;; The thing is, Mr. Jun lived in Toronto for 5 years so he spoke English. He also had a Japanese girlfriend before so he spoke some Japanese too. ^^;; God...we were giggling and cussing like idiots. x.x;; I think my brother said the best part was this:

Mr. Jun: Fuck you!!
Meta: *waves middle finger* Fuck you too!!
Mr. Jun: Fuck you!!
Meta: Yeah you wish you could fuck me, don't ya!! Shut the hell up! *Rolling on the floor laughing*

-_-;; So yes...we were smashed. Dave had puked up a bit so he felt more sober than both of us. Pearl only had a bit so she was the most sober. -_-;;

So let me tally my score:
1. Wine from the swanky dinner
2. One Banana Colada
3. Bottle of beer
4. At least 6 shots of Jack Daniel whiskey. Probably more.
5. I think about 5 shots of teqila. Maybe more. >_<;;
6. 2 shots of soju.

@_@;; Oh my god...you know the strange part is, about 4 shots later, I didn't even feel the burning. x.x;; That whiskey went down my throat like water. x.x;; Gahh...and the pain in my foot from the painful high heels also disappeared. x.x;; But yeah...I was very touchy feely giggly kissy loud drunk. x.x;; Pearl said I was cute...*DIES*

We went to Pearl's apartment afterwards...we ended up sleeping there. ^^; Ahh...how embarrassing!! >_<;; I woke up this morning feeling ok though. o_O;; No hangover. My head felt kinda light and I felt a bit weak but relatively ok. O_O;; I guess I can handle alcohol well after all. x.x;; I do remember almost everything though. >_<;; Ahh!! I can't believe I got that drunk!! I can't believe me and Mr. Jun kept kissing (and in front of my bro too!!) And I can't believe almost all of that liquor was given to us freely!! @_@;; Foreign liquor in Korea is disgustingly expensive...I think I consumed at least 200 dollars worth of stuff that I got totally free. x.x;;

But seriously...I wouldn't have drunk that much if Mr. Jun hadn't kept pouring it for me. x.x;; Wahh...and I always looked down on those drunkards on the streets who yell and sway back and forth like idiots. @_@;; Last night I was one of them!! *DIES DIES DIES*

Well...we are planning to go back and get him a cake or something. ^^; As a thank you for all the free alcohol. *laughs* UGH!! How am I gonna face him!!?? @_@;; The man is like twice my age and engaged!! @_@;; ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

Despite my whining, I had a really good time yesterday. The dinner was wonderful and the drinking was fun too. I am glad that I am a Happy Drunk. ^^v The loss of control and total abandonment of all dignity was interesting. @_@;; I spent all day resting though...I was so tired. x.x;; Ok...me go now...must wake up bright and early for anime con!! *_*_*_*_*

///// Thursday, May 16, 2002 ///// 05:59 p.m. /////

WAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I HAVE THE NEW HIKARU NO GO ILLUSTRATION BOOK SAI!! 175 COLOUR PAGES OF PURE HIKARU NO GO GOODNESS!! *_* NONE OF THIS "FILL UP HALF THE ARTBOOK WITH MANGA IMAGES THAT I ALREADY HAVE" BULLSHIT!! ALL FULL SPREAD BEAUTIFUL COLOUR PICS BABY!! I AM SO HAPPY!!

It's hardcover and it's huge!! O_O;; It is the biggest artbook I have ever seen. Not sure of the exact measurements since my brother doesn't seem to have a ruler. x.x;; I also got the rest of Hikaru no Go up to the newest volume (Kyaah!! Isumi san!! Daisuki! *_*), Shaman King 19, and Naruto 12. *_* Me so happy!! Watching Naruto kick Neji's ass gave me such a sense of satisfaction. *_*

I am going to some kind of show with bro today. It's like cooking but fighting. o_O;; No I don't mean Iron Chef...I mean literally there will be fights. @_@;; I am confused...Dave didn't explain it very well. Oh well. Ok me go now!! *_*

///// Monday, May 13, 2002 ///// 02:00 p.m. /////

Today I decided to just rest and do nothing. @_@;; I have been so busy sight seeing and meeting relatives since I came to Korea and I am dead tired. I also feel like shit. >_<;; Fucking cramps!! *dies dies dies* So just relax a bit, watch some anime, clean up my bro's apartment a bit since it's a mess. -_-;; I am a bit behind in my journal entries so I gotta catch up to that too. I hope everyone is doing ok. Korea so far has been pretty nice with only a few unpleasant surprises. @_@;; I am experiencing a slight culture shock. Although I am Korean, I know I am Canadian through and through so some of the stuff that is accepted/expected here has caught me off guard. Some of the stuff that Koreans do and think just totally boggles my mind. I have only been here for a week and a bit but I already miss Canada. ;_; I know that sounds kinda dumb but I have realized that I am not Korean anymore. I always said to people in Canada that I am Korean-Canadian...but I have now seen that this is not true. It makes me a little sad...

Listening to "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan. This is the song that makes me think of Kiri. ;_; I miss you. *hugs*

Ok me go now. Gotta watch more Full Metal Panic. ^^v

///// Thursday, May 9, 2002 ///// 06:08 p.m. /////

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Ok I have been a bit busy. @_@;; I have been staying with my cousin and unfortunately she doesn't have any net access. >_<;; SO yeah...but I have been writing a journal the old fashioned way!! With paper and pen! *laughs* I am hoping to make a website later complete with pics and stuff for my own viewing pleasure. Mostly for my own use since I don't want to forget it later on. >_<;; But wow, I bought lots of stuff today...mostly for other people. I only bought like two stuff for myself. ^^;; Well I plan to buy more stuff on the actual anime con. Today was mostly the market so other stuff was purchased. But holy shit, they sold a lot of stuff!!!! I have never seen so many people! I felt so hemmed in. >_<;; I miss Canada a bit but I am happy. Everyone is really nice to me so I am doing real good. *hugs all* I will try to email you all later ok? Maybe a mass email for all...

Until then, I will keep writing in my jounral. There are PC places in the city but my cousin says they are for game freaks who smoke all day and never leave the computer...sounds kinda like me...except for the game and smoking part. ^^;; Ick. See ya all later!! Ja ne!! ^___^

///// Tuesday, May 7, 2002 ///// 06:01 a.m. /////

OK. I am in Korea. I am alive. I am also extremely wet. I shall talk of my travels later. Bye. -_-;;

///// Sunday, May 5, 2002 ///// 09:04 p.m. /////

Ack!! Ok I thought I would have more time to do this but I lazied around all day so now I am rushing!! Bad Meta!! Ok, my bro in Korea has the net so I will read everyone else's blogs later. I am leaving for the airport in about 30 minutes. So yeah...will blog when I get there. If for some reason I never write here again, you will know it's because the plane crashed and I am stranded on an island. I will be found 7 years later slightly crazy while talking to a volleyball named Wilson. ^^v Or I just might be dead. *laughs* If you want to make sure I didn't die you can always read Esca's blog (Dysphoria)...she usually has fairly up to date info on me. So Esca, if I die/get stranded on an island, you will inform my other online buddies ne? *grins* See ya later everyone!! ^______^ *waves bye bye*

///// Saturday, May 4, 2002 ///// 09:35 p.m. /////

I just came back from an insane day of shopping. @_@;; I needed to buy shorts since Korea is damn hot. It gets hot in Canada too but since I hate wearing shorts I usually stayed inside with the air conditioning...but my bro's apartment in Korea doesn't have one. ;_; I hope he at least has an electric fan...*cries* I'm gonna melt!!!

But oh my feet hurts. x.x;; I hate clothes shopping. The pushing, the frenzy, the crazy ladies who swoop like vultures on sale racks and knock you over, the never ending line to the change room...*going insane*. Thank god I knew exactly which stores I was going to and what to buy...if I had to actually browse the whole goddamned mall, I would have killed everyone in sight.

Hungry too...only ate once today. ;_; But I am very happy since I got new reading material for the plane. ^_^ It's like 14 hours so I need it. Yeahh!! New Herald Mage stuff!! Now I have the whole trilogy! Maybe I will finally get to see that villain, "Leareth ". *snickers* Oh Darkness, how you tempt me with your intoxicating words.

One thing really good that happened to me was that my fav manga store Kikiwai stayed open a little later for me so I can pick up my manga!! I love the people who work there!! I was in Yorkdale station and I called in like 25 minutes before they close and Rita said they would wait. I got there 10 minutes late although I ran like mad carrying all my shopping bags! @_@;; I love Rita and Debbie. *_* I can't believe they stayed open for me. *_* And they even stayed and chatted with me. *_* It was really nice seeing Rita since I haven't seen her since...like forever and it was nice. ^_^ She is about to go back to her hometown and only comes back to Toronto in Sept...which is when I will be leaving to go back to London. ;_; Boo hoo. I wish I can see Rita more. ;_; And I just found out she is my age!! *always thought she was older* Rita is very cute. ^_^ I think my bro tried to hit on her once but with no result...she did kinda hit on me once though...*BLUSH* Ok maybe not hit on me but like...stuff...*BLUSH* WAH!! @_@;;;

AHEM!! Anyways...I got Hanakimi 17. I keep hoping that the side story to Umeda's sensei's first boyfriend will be published but no...it's all about Sano's angst with his dad. Not that it is bad...it's just I am SO sick of Sano and Mizuki doing NOTHING!! JUST HAVE SEX ALREADY!! @_@;; But one thing that was cool was that at the end, Sano yelled at Mizuki and stormed away. *_* And she cried. *_* And then Nakatsu came and hugged her. *_* And she hugged back. *_* And since my Japanese sucks and I can't be too sure but I think Nakatsu told Mizuki to stop liking Sano and like him instead. *_*_*_* I MUST VERIFY THIS FIRST THOUGH!! Where is my grandma to translate for me when I need her? o_O;;

Ahh, Kiri...that is so nasty. How could anyone kill a baby like that? >_<;; So bad!! And by the way, is it ok if I call you or something before I go to Korea?

Esca!! You changed your layout to a Hunter x Hunter one! And oh my...Killua and Gon looks awfully...shotacon. *sweatdrop* ^^;; Very cute though. ^_^ Kyyahh...I should call you too before I go...

So this is Zhin's blog. It's SO LOVELY. *_* IT'S HYDE. I LOVE HYDE. I LOVE KASOU. I love Forbidden Lover more but I sing Kasou better. *_* And you look really freaky with pale eyes but you still remind me of Fuuma and that makes you more scary...but like in a good way. *_* I should link you since you are Masako's plaything...uh I mean boytoy...uh I mean love slave. Boyfriend. Yeah that's it, boyfriend. ^^v Muwahahahah!! *holds up sign that says "Masako, please don't kill me. I am hyper from no sleep and food!"* @_@;;

Ruaki chan!! *tackle glomps* Sorry I am hyper! *_* But oh my...you make me blush when you "sama" me. ^^;; You really shouldn't...I mean...it should be ME sama-ing you, O Great Artist and Supplier of HoroRen porn. *_* I am sure you will take lots of cool pics of yourselves and post them...and I must see them. Steph looked really cute in her Sakura outfit. ^_^ Ne ne, does Steph still have her Darkness Rising site? I remember that was the first site that I ever sent in my fanfics...oh my god they were horrible. The fics I mean. I was on crack when I wrote them...not to mention I was a horrible horrible newbie. I mean, Slayers/Fushigi Yuugi? What the fuck was I sniffing??!! And I haven't seen much of KITH but what I did see was quite funny. But I think the most memorable thing for me was when Thompson did this little interview on our music channel (MuchMusic) and they zeroed in on his crotch. XD!!! Thompson: Hello, this is MuchMusic and you are looking at my crotch. *camera zooms up to his face, down to his crotch, up to his face, down to his crotch, Meta choking on the Nestea she was drinking and spitting it everywhere...* And well if I ever go to Otakon the same time as you in the future, I would love to cosplay with ya. *_*

Ok I think I am done for today. I will blog again tomorrow...probably. ^^;; Most likely. Well since my plane isn't leaving until 11:50 pm, I think I can afford to burn some time ne? Hehehehe...

///// Thursday, May 2, 2002 ///// 09:40 a.m. /////

WAHH!! SO TIRED!! @_@;; I stayed up all night packing. Everything is pretty much packed. I ran out of boxes so I need to pack the last few things when my parents come to pick me up...they promised to bring boxes. I am very very proud of myself. *_* I packed so much shit all by myself. ^^;;I never realized that I had that much manga until I ran out of boxes for them...

I will most likely blog one more time in Toronto before I head off to Korea. But in case I don't, *waves goodbye* I'll email everyone when I get there! ^_^ I will try to take lots of pics and post them here. My bro told me I can get them scanned at the photo developing place. ^^v

Me go now!! ^_____^ Ja ne!!

///// Wednesday, May 1, 2002 ///// 10:30 p.m. /////

Ok, massive amount of social blogging because I don't know when I will be able to blog again. I will have computer access when I get to Toronto but I might be too crazy-ass busy to actually do any blogging. ^^;; I added some new links. *waves hello to all* Hi hi!! Thanks for linking me! ^_^

I did a lot of cleaning today but I haven't done too much packing yet. I will get to that after this. I wanted to get most of my online stuff out of the way first. Parents coming by 9 am with a truck to get my stuff back home. Gods my manga collection has grown since I moved here. *sweatdrops* I might need more boxes. Once I get to Toronto, I will have 2 days to do a lot of stuff before I head off to Korea. I am so excited/nervous. I came to Canada about 13 years ago and haven't gone back...I wonder how much it changed. I want to see my brother! I want to see my aunt and uncle! I want to see the ocean! I want to see the mountains! I want to see the Stadium Full of Doujinshi! *_*

Reinselft, I hope you get better. I noticed you get sick really easily. ;_; And why do you need ankle weights? o_O;; *hugs* Be healthy or I won't get a sexy Zoro doujinshi for you!!

Esca, thank you so much again for the links. Oh yeah, did any of those cons say that I need to register ahead to get tickets? If so, can you tell me how? I will take lots of pics of hot cosplayers so we drool together. I am hoping to see some skanky cosplays of bishounens actually done by men. I swear, the Asian cosplayers are SO much better and not as much "crossplay". Not that crossdressing is bad. ^^;; I just don't want to see another female Chichiri ever again. >_<;; At this point, I am really hoping to see some male Saiyuki cosplayers. *_* Sanzo!! *LUST*

Leareth, you changed your layout again! o_O;; It's the Torontonian boy turned Jedi. ^_^ *waves a little Canadian flag* I keep meaning to say this but I keep forgetting: Darling, thank you for keeping me company in the wee hours during my exams when I was going nuts. You saved my sanity. Or maybe made it worse. Either way, I was very entertained. *hugs* Love ya! ^_^

Lilack, you rock as well! *hugs tight* It was really great talking to you. You are so much fun! I gotta go to Perth one of these days and meet you all. I will definitely be on the lookout for War of Genesis stuff for you in Korea. I am hoping to score some stuff myself. I mean, that game was popular...surely they would have an artbook or two? ^^;; Oh yeah, I know some nice English links that tells you about the War of Genesis plot and characters. Go here and click on the link that says "characters". I have to warn you that the WoG plot seems VERY complicated and long and a lot of the times I was like "Huh?". Lots of time travel I think...which explains why some of the characters have futuristic clothes and other don't. ^^;; I especially liked the shrines for Christian (who I know you used as a layout slave), his brother Demian, and Sherazard. I am shocked they don't have a Saladin shrine since he IS the main character...that is the latest WoG character you used for a layout I believe...although you said Magna Carta. ^^;; Also, here is the offical English fanpage to the artist, Kim Hyung Tae. That man is a genius! *_* Oh boy this post is long...

WHAT?! How dare you call me a kinky bitch? I am a SUPER kinky bitch! ^_^v (Sorry...bad Naruto joke). I burned the yaoi rpg game for you! ^_^ I even wrote out a letter for instructions on getting certain *cough* scenarios. ^^;; Kyahh!! I am so bad!! @_@;; Now I just gotta send it to you...one of the many things I gotta do when I get to Toronto. >_<;; *hugs* I love you too neko chan!

Wah! Ruaki, your Horohoro outfit is mega sugoi!! *_* Is your snowboard done yet? *_* Take lots of pics! And you are cosplaying Killua too? Kyahh!! I love Killua! *_* And oh my goodness, you like Kids in the Hall? Actually let me rephrase that, you know of Kids in the Hall's existence? *is very impressed* This is the first time I know someone south of the border who knows of them. Suge! *_* Ne ne, want me to pick something up for you from Korea? I am sure your mom got you a lot of loot but maybe they aren't of the yaoi variety. ^^;; If I see something you might like, I'll get it for you ok? ^_^ Maybe something Naruto...or HxH...or Scryed...or Shaman King. I don't know enough about Kingdom Hearts though. ^^;; And if I ever see you in Otakon, I will definitely cosplay! ^_^ I wish I can cosplay Anko from Naruto except she only wears that fishnet thing as a shirt...I don't wanna flash people. ;_;

Kit onee chan, did you see VHD the old one (like the 1980's one) or the new one? I have seen the old one in Japanese and the Japanese seiyuu rock! As for the new movie...well if my shipment will just come in, I could tell you about the English dubbing myself. -_-;; I think I got cheated.

Wahh!! I was reading Murasaki san's blog through onee chan's link and her fanart links broke my brain too! @_@;; Too...much...pretty...Saiyuki...yaoi...*DIES* Also, her rants about Fuuma are very entertaining (and VERY true!).

Ok...I think I am done. I am fairly sure I am done. Anything else to blog about? *thinks* I can't think a thing so I shall finish now! I will try to blog one more time before I go to Korea. My bro has internet in his apartment so I should be able to blog normally there. I am hoping to take lots of pics and show them to everyone. ^_^ Oh wait...does he still have his digital camera? o_O;;

///// Tuesday, April 30, 2002 ///// 05:06 p.m. /////

I just got home from school and I know that it is finally done. This school year I mean. My exams are done and today was the last day. Now watch me as I become a crying blubbering mess of overflowing joy. *CRIES CRIES CRIES* ;_; I have so much shit to do today though...*bashes head into wall* Gotta clean room, clean dishes, do laundry, pay bills, burns CDs for people (you know who you are...hehehe...), update my website, update my blog links (and maybe even manage a new layout), pack everything up, and most importantly...FIND A NEW APARTMENT! Gotta do all this in two days because that is when my family is coming from Toronto to pick me up and whisk me away. Then it's Korea! Buwahaha!! My lovely friend (and whore) gave me dates to doujinshi conventions in Korea in May. One of them is gonna take place in a stadium. *CRIES CRIES CRIES* I am so happy!! A stadium full of doujinshi!! ;_; *DIES FROM HAPPINESS* I just wish my brother would wait and look for an apartment in London after we come back from Korea. But no...he says I have to do it now. -_-;; Oh like I will be able to find a decent place to live in two days!! Actually not even two days because today is almost over!! Fat chance. >_<;; Anyway, I didn't eat all day so I am very hungry...I shall come back and blog more later. ^___^

///// Thursday, April 25, 2002 ///// 03:44 a.m. /////

I am so tired. I need to go to sleep but I wanted to blog a bit...so here I am. Gonna do some random rants and a few social blogging. @_@;;

One of my fishes died yesterday...I was kinda sad. My butterfly loach was so cool looking...it looked like a manta ray. And then I turned on the lights to feed them and I saw it belly up. ;_; At least the other fish hadn't started eating him...that would have been so gross. >_<;; The fishes I didn't want (those goddamned tetras!!) are still alive and hardy. I swear, it's like they live just to spite me. At least my ghost shrimp is ok...I love my ghost shrimp.

Toriyama's World have been doing a lot of Hikaru no Go updates lately. Almost daily I tell ya. The last few chapters were really cool...and I think I am in love with Isumi san. *_* Maybe I will get those Isumi x Waya doujinshi in Korea after all...and Ochi is a prick. I hope Hikaru beats him. I loved the look on Ochi's face when Isumi san told him to shut up. I love you Isumi san!! *glomps* And the staff in Toriyama's seem to be very annoyed with people bothering them about Naruto updates. >_<;; Geez, I mean people are getting free manga...why the hell are they complaining? I mean, yes I have my own set of Naruto now but if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have even discovered it! And I still rely on them for translations since my Japanese sucks. Whiners should just shut up and be grateful they are providing this free service in the first place. Go and read the other manga they provide...Zompie Powder is damn interesting. I can't wait until they start on the Bleach manga. *_* I have heard many good things about that one.

Been downloading a lot of anime lately. Wouldn't you know it, just when exam season hits, I managed to get my hands on really recent anime. *sighs* Anyway, I noticed that Seki Tomokazu and Hoshi Souichiro are everywhere. They are even together in Tokyo Underground which just came out this April. Mildy amusing anime but I suspect it was based on a game. Just got the first episode of Ai Yori Aoshi (which has Hoshi Souichiro as the main guy). I was afraid it would be like those shounen romance with one guy getting loved/beat up by a million girls but it wasn't. ^_^ It was quite sweet actually. Want more. Also want more Full Metal Panic but it got licensed by ADV so fansub distribution has stopped. Curse you ADV!! And it was just getting good too. ;_; Well at least Chobits is still free. But first and foremost...I NEED MORE SCRYED!! I ONLY HAVE UP TO EPISODES 17!! SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET MORE!! I NEED MY KAZUMA ANGST FIX!!!

Having trouble with ebay. I bought the Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust DVD on March 10th and I still haven't got it yet. The seller emailed me saying he sent it off on March 26th but I still haven't gotten it. He also hasn't responded to any of my emails since then. This is really getting on my nerves...I am moving out of this apartment at the end of April and I would REALLY like to get my DVD before then. I know ebay probably wouldn't help me get a refund. UGH.

Ruaki san, those pictures that your friend did of you and Steph are...interesting. ^^;; Oh my. Shall I loan you my whip and pink fluffy handcuffs? *laughs* I suspect this part to you will be long so I will take your advice and make paragraphs. ^^v

Yes I saw Battle Royale!! Wow!! You know what this means? You and I were in the same room together!! *ROFL!!* What a small world! ^_^ Did you by any chance hear a girl and guy screaming through the movie "Yeah Gackt!! Kill them all! Shoot em!!"? If you did, that was me and my friend James. We thought the psycho dude who killed off most of the students looked like Gackt. ^_^ And we were also high on sleep deprivation, thus the yelling. ^^;; Actually, the first 15 minutes of Battle Royale made me sick. @_@;; I got this hang up about throats and stuff...I can handle seeing decapitation just fine. But seeing that first guy dying because his collar exploded and his neck gushing blood...Ahh!! @_@;; But then I got over it and enjoyed the movie. ^_^ I never heard about it but James did and I am so glad he took me. When the fire alarm went off, I stayed and just watched the end. It was so cool!

And yeah, I played in the water in the streets! ^_^ It was great!! And it wasn't that hot...95 degrees fahrenheit...so it's like 35 degrees celcius. Not too bad. Toronto can get hotter than that. You are from the south? Wait...A-kon is in Texas ne? Are you from Texas? If I went that far south, I'd melt. I am already dreading my trip to Korea and the humidity there. >_<;; I can walk in a blizzard with snow up to my chest and -58 fahrenheit winds but put me in high humidity and I die.

Wahh!! You got Scryed up to 18?? Tell me where you get them? *_* Me want!! And yes...the UST between Ryuhou and Kazuma is quite explosive. ^^; Actually, I noticed the Japanese fans like pairing Ryuhou with Jigmar (Sigmar?). I can kinda see that...but that's kinda blah. Oh, I won't be going to Otakon this year...seems very doubtful. The trip to Korea is so expensive! But I am looking forward to seeing my family. Most of my cousins are all married now. O_O;; I came to Canada about 13 years ago and haven't gone back since so that is to be expected. ^^;;

Oh my...your roomie blushed when you told him I'd glomp him? How cute!! ^___^ *waves hello to Jon* When your Kakashi outfit is done, take lots of pics of yourself in compromising positions and send them to me! *laughs* Oh I wish I could cosplay too. I would love to cosplay Anko, except then I'd be flashing my boobs to everyone. Heh...5 paragraphs dedicated to Ruaki. ^^;; We do yak a lot huh? By the way, did I mention that I am eyeing those Naruto doujinshi you are bidding on? *grins* But I probably won't bid because I have seen you bid on stuff in the past. You are one scary bidder. ^_^;; I don't have enough money to compete with you. Damn Canadian currency!! >_<;;

Ano...Lilack san...are you ok? ;_; *hugs* I hope you are all right...your blog post was very worrisome. *huggles*

Kit, so happy to see you back. *huggles* I missed you muchly. ^_^ Did you get my email reply yet? Heh...I sound kinda crazy on it. Sorry. ^^;;

Oi Reinselft! *pokes* I haven't talked to you in a while...you all good? Seems you are spening money like water these days. *laughs* Oh how I wish I had easy access to manga like you. -_-;; Well hopefully when I go to Korea, I can buy lots too. *_* Should I get you a really cheesy ass tourist souvenir in Korea? ^__^

OK!! Now for bed!! @_@;; But before I go, one last parting thought..."Why is Yoh and Hao so short when their dad Mikihisa is so tall?" @_@;;

Lalalalalala!! Going nuts! Going nuts!! Lalalalaa!!! @_@;;;

What can I say...exam stress is...not fun. *crawls into hole and whimpers* I want my Mommy!! ;_; *cries cries*

Talked to Leareth on the phone briefly today. I called her mobile phone so I wasn't surprised that it was breaking up and then we got cut off. Every time I called my bro (who is currently in Korea) on his phone it was all static and stuff...and seeing as Australia is even farther away than Korea...*sweatdrops* Oh well, it was still cool though. ^_^ I got to hear her voice!! Tee hee!! Actually for a moment there, I thought I called the wrong number because she sounded so much like Lika. o_O;; But I still wish I could have talked to her longer...I think it was like a minute before we got cut off. ;_; I love you too Leareth chan...I'll try calling you again some other time ok? ^_^

And oh for those who don't know already, I am going to Korea for about a month. From May 5th to the 29th to be precise. I need a vacation...badly. Hopefully I won't die from the heat. Korean summers are much more humid than Canada. I hate humidity. >_<;;

Ruaki san!! ^_^ Yes I was at Otakon last year. I didn't see you at the art show though...were you at the art show? I didn't know what you looked like at the time but I would have recognized your art...your style is very distinctive. ^_^ And no I didn't cosplay...I only decided to go to Otakon like the day before it. o_O;; My aunt and my cousin was going to Florida by car and they were like: "Oh we are going by Baltimore. Want to catch a ride with us?" @_@;; I called up my buds in MA and they said they would meet me there but I was quite terrified that I wouldn't meet up with them. I didn't have a hotel room and the thought of being stranded in a foreign city with no one I knew was quite horrible. ^^;; We lucked out though and one of my friends met another friend of his who had a hotel room...so I ended up sleeping on the floor of a hotel room with people I didn't know. ^^;; That was quite an experience. >_<;; And wasn't Midorikawa san hilarious? When he got out of the room, I was walking just behind him and I was SO tempted to glomp him. ^^;; The highlights of the con for me was seeing Midorikawa san, watching Battle Royale and seeing Baltimore fall to pieces. Chemical spills, exploding manholes, and water from fire hydrants flooding the streets. *dies laughing* It did annoy me when the fire alarm went off on the last 5 minutes of Battle Royale. -_-;; Hmm...I think currently, I like Hoshi Souchirou quite a bit. *_* Kazuma!! Oh that reminds me, I managed to get more Scryed!! *_*_*_* Which episodes are you on? Number 17 was so sad!!! *cries cries* And ne ne...your Horohoro vest looks so cool!! I wish I could see you guys in A-kon. ;_; I heard the creator to Usagi Yojimbo is gonna be there...I love Usagi Yojimbo. ;_; Oh yeah, tell your roomie Jon that he makes a cool Kakashi!! If I ever saw him in real life, I would glomp him. *glomps Kakashi sensei* Daisuki! *_* Oh my this is getting long...

KIT ONEE CHAN!!!!! *tackle glomps* I missed you!! ;_;_;_; Glad to see you back. *hugs* So Europe was fun? You took pics right? You gonna scan them right? *hint hint* ^_^ Wow...I wish I could meet all of you in Singapore too. You will be so much closer once I am in Korea but you will still be too far away!! ;_; Maybe when I am rich (yeah right!!) I will visit you. ^^v That would be so cool!

Lilack, I got green apple too. ^^;; I don't think you and I are that grouchy...are we? o_O;; Actually, green apple is my favourite bubble tea flavour...you should try it! I like it best with the milk tea though...tastes better. Hmm...I haven't had a bubble tea dream about you three Australian girls in a while...maybe I will have one tonight?

Masako san, I joined that new club that you cooked up with Reinselft. It was you and Reinselft that thought up the club right? *trying to remember what Leareth told her* So uh...what's with the strange requirements to be in the club? ^^;; Ara...well since I need a bishounen with a name that starts with R, can I have Rufus from Final Fantasy 7? I love Rufus!! And my bra size is a C cup...big enough for ya? *grins*

Ahh...I gotta update my site and blog links soon. I wanted to have a new layout before I go to Korea but that seems unlikely. Damn. Oh well...I can be with Kazuma a bit longer. Oh yeah...I found Hoshi Souichirou's homepage. It was so cute. ^_^ I sent him an email but it was in English so I doubt I will get a reply. But if I do, I will mostly print it out and frame it. *_*

///// Thursday, April 18, 2002 ///// 12:02 a.m. /////

The first and only attempt I ever made at a Yami no Matsuei fic...and it's not even finished. *laughed* But since Leareth dear has already had enough of bad YnM fics I thought I would contribute to the mess. ^^v Hope you like it babe...it's really old...not to mention an Alternate Universe fic! *dies laughing* Tell me how it measures up to the rest ne? Probably just as bad. Oh by the way, I recently finished a Mercedes Lackey book...is that where you got your alias, Oh Queen of Darkness? ^_______^

The little boy slipped his hand in her bigger one and was led away to an uncertain future.

Today was actually a good day. It didn't start out so good because the temperature suddenly jumped to 34 degrees celsius and the air conditioning broke down. Did I mention that my room is the stuffiest and the hottest in the apartment? Anyway, I was just dying and the words on my textbook was blurring before my eyes. @_@;; I can't believe it really...a week and a half ago, there was snow on the ground...now it's boiling. Canada, the land of unpredictable weather. >_<;;

Well anyway, it got better when the sun was setting. I had to go and get toilet paper from the nearest convenience store because my roomates forgot to get it last time. -_-;; I went out as the sun had mostly set so it was nice and cool. ^_^ It was so nice that after shopping, I took a walk around the block. o_O;; When I came back, I decided to further my break by resting on the hammock. Oh yes, we have a hammock. ^_^ It's Ashley's and she had put it up in the balcony last summer. At first I was scared that I would flip over and plunge to my death (I live on the 11th floor) but then I realized she hung it low enough that I would just fall on to the balcony floor. ^^;; Ah it was SO nice! The cool evening breeze, the hammock swaying back and forth, and such lovely stars. *_* I could see the big dipper. And then Ash came out and we had a nice conversation about bats and how Canada has black squirrels while the US doesn't. Then I dozed a bit and I was happy. All in all, a very good evening. ^_^ A rare thing indeed.

Leareth chan, I don't write because I gave it up a while ago. I get urges now and then but...well I decided that I am a horrible writer and every time I really try to write something, I get depressed. ^^;; So these days, I only scribble if the urge is REALLY strong. @_@;; I still write crap though...oh well, it's my blog after all. ^^;;

Ruaki chan...wow, my mom came to visit me the same day your mom did. ^_^ Dang, I want bulgogi. ;_; Ne ne, did you want any Scryed music? I found this site that had some MP3 of it. I currently have "Reckless Fire" on repeat. @_@;; Click here. Oro...you are a big Midorikawa Hikaru fan ne. ^^;; But I have to tell you, I was shocked to hear him as Silva too. o_O;; I mean Silva is so...buff. *cackles* I saw him at the last Otakon actually...did you see him as well?
