Wow it's been a while since I wrote in this thing. x.x;; It's kinda funny saying this but...my real life is keeping me from my online life. *laughs* It really is kinda funny. Last year, my life was pretty shitty and doing things online kept me sane. Now that my life is back on track and I am busy with school and stuff, my online activities have been suffering. ^^;; Not that I think blogging and making websites are not fun...they are...it's just, I guess I am not obsessing over them as much. ^^;; I still read my friend's blogs and do some of my other usual online hobbies (like scanlations!!!) but anything concerning ME has been neglected. ^^;; My poor blog...and I love my blog too. *hugs bloggy* Well, after my exams and projects are done, I will definitely have more time so I am hoping to make everything nice and fresh. ^^;; Gah, this layout has been here, FOREVER!! ^___^;;

Hope everyone else is doing all right. Even if I am not around...I AM around...*evil creepy music* Heheheheh....

Wah so tired. XD Currently in the school library killing time. I am thoroughly exhausted...why can't I fall asleep at a decent hour? x.x;;

Anyway, today was an interesting morning. ^^; I decided to take the bus since my bro wanted an hour of sleep. Usually he drives me to school but most of his first classes are an hour later than mine so he loses sleep. Poor brother. ^^;; Anyway, I went out the usual time I catch the bus but for once, there wasn't a huge crowd of people waiting at the bus stop. x.x;; Of all the days, the bus just HAD to be a bit early when I decide to take it. >_<;; Anyway, I was panicking slightly when a girl approached me and ask me if the bus had already gone. I told her it probably did and I pulled out my cell phone to call Dave and ask him to drive me after all. ^^;; Then the girl asked me if I am calling a taxi. O_O;; See, I had already thought of this...but I didn't have enough cash on me so I had ruled that out. But I asked her if she wanted to split the cab fare with me and she said yes! ^_^ So yeah, we rode the taxi together and had a nice conversation. Her name is Lin and she has only been in Canada for a year. Actually, she is from Toronto too and she goes to the Korean restaurants that is right near my parents' store. *laughs* What a small world. Anyway, she lives in my building just a floor below me. So we exchanged phone numbers and we said we will get together and eat some Korean food together. ^___^

And yes, I did make it to class on time. ^^; Thank goodness too since I have a test in Classic on Wednesday and I would hate to lose notes. x.x;; I did miss Classic for the first time two days ago because I was feeling unwell and couldn't get out bed. x.x;; Must get those notes off my friend. >_<;; But seriously, I haven't skipped any classes so far! I am proud of myself. *_* And I really was feeling crappy two days ago so I think I was justified in missing the classes. ^^;;

Ok. gonna grab a quick breakfast and then it's off to Art History. Gahh...gonna find out how I did on my test this period...a bit nervous nyo. ;_; Wish me luck!!!

///// Saturday, October 12, 2002 ///// 11:17 p.m. /////

I would just like to state that Auron is cool and I am a slut for him. And oh yes, PEOPLE, GO AND BUY PLAYSTATION 2 AND PLAY FINAL FANTASY 10!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

This message has been brought to you by my undying slutty desire for Auron's body. ^____^ Thank you!

///// Tuesday, October 8, 2002 ///// 07:31 a.m. /////

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! NARUTO EPISODE 1 FINISHED DOWNLOADING!! OH BABY YEAH!! *_________*

But I have to start getting ready for school. ;_; Shitey!!! I will just have to watch it after I come back from classes. ^^v Wah so tired! Stayed up all night painting and my wrist hurts. ;_; And gotta come back and study for art history test. ;_; Ok, Naruto and a BIT of Final Fantasy X...and THEN I will study. For sure. Right. ^^v *knows she will fail in this task*

///// Monday, October 7, 2002 ///// 07:15 p.m. /////

My bro got a Playstation 2 and we have been playing Final Fantasy X. Let me take this moment to scream like a silly fangirl and basically make a fool of myself.

OH MY GOD FINAL FANTASY X SO ROCKS MY WORLD! AURON IS THE MAN!! HE IS THE BEST! I LOVE EVERYTHING! THE GRAPHIC MAKES ME WANNA PISS IN MY PANTS! EVERYTHING IS JUST SO FUCKING COOL!!!!!"

Ahem. So yes, the game is sooo good. *_* Seeing the characters actually talk is pretty cool too. The dubbing is a bit choppy but kinda understandable. I think Wakka has the best seiyuu. His personality really comes through in his voice and inflections. ^_^

And Tidus can be a bit of a dork (most of the time) but it's kinda cute. ^_^ And thank god that Yuna is not a fluff head like Rinoa. And it's really cool that she has one green eye and one blue. *_*

And let me just that Auron is way way too cool. Take attributes from Hiko in Rurouni Kenshin, Manji from Blade of the Immortal, Gatts from Berserk, and Sanzo from Saiyuki...and you get Auron. Roughly. ^__^ He is definitely not a "pretty boy" but he is handsome in a tough battle-scarred kinda way. He is kinda like Hiko because he is silent but also with a cracked sense of humour. Like "why am I stuck with this idiot student of mine?" sort of deal. ^_^ And the sake jug that is always attached to his belt is kinda like Hiko too. He is like Manji from Blade of the Immortal because of the eye missing with that cool scar and that laid back attitude. And also once again, the slightly dorky pupil syndrome. Although I gotta admit, Rin is more ditzy than Tidus. The Gatts part is well the eye once again, but seriously, if Gatts aged about 15 years and grew out his hair a bit, I think he would look a lot like Auron. Well, he would need sunglasses too. *_* And that hugeass sword!!! *_* Gatts and Auron can really swing those blades. o_O;; And the Sanzo part? Heheheh...well Tidus does complain about food a lot at the start of the game like Goku. ^^;; And truthfully, the part that reminds me of Sanzo the most is when Auron gets SERIOUS. As in fighting. His left arm is always out of its sleeve and tucked into the inner folds of his robe...but when he fights seriously, he shrugs the robe off a bit to reveal...skin tight black sleeveless shirt. *_* WAH. SO COOL. Auron is just so cool. *_* His fighting style, his personality, his background story, everything, he is so da man! *_* Wah, I want some Auron smut! XDDD!!!

And the other character that is pretty pleasing to the eye...Lulu. Ok, I thought Kuja was oversexed in his image but Lulu beats him hands down. Seriously. I mean, after she wins a battle, her win pose is to lean over and flash her cleavage. x.x;; And when she does that, her breasts jiggle a bit too. The first time me and my bro saw that, we were like "Whoa, those animators had way too much time on their hands..." ^__^;;; But I think she is really pretty and her fighting style is cool. She fights with a stuffed Mog doll. XD

Tidus and Yuna are so...cute together. ^^;; Despite the tendency of all Final Fantasy lead men to be slashed with every other male characters in the game, I really do like Tidus in his canon relationship. ^^;; Gods, when Yuna was trying to cheer him by helping him practice smiling...that was just too funny. And then they turn around and Wakka is like "Have you guys gone insane?" XDDD

And yeah, Wakka is really cool. I think he is the easiest to connect with in the game. His hair is so so weird but at least his Blitzball outfit is not as weird as Tidus'. ^^; The one thing that surprised me though was that he is a very religious person. x.x;; Geez Wakka, what did the Al Bhed ever do to you?

And Kimahri is so cool looking. *_* Ok, so he is a blue skinned lion man but so what? ^__^ I like the braids in his hair. And how whenever Tidus tries to talk to him he just kinda shakes his head and just stands there. *laughs* Poor Tidus.

We haven't played enough to add Rikku to the party but so far, she seems to be the typical Fantasy Fantasy "cute, smart mouthed, agile thief" character. ^^;; Can we say Yuffie everyone? ^^;;

So yeah, like I said, the graphics are AMAZING. The part where Tidus is playing Blitzball in the stadium is just so damned cool. I loved how he was hanging in mid air when Sin blasts the city apart. SO COOL. *_* I LOVE THIS GAME. So people, go play it!!!!!!!!!!!! *______*

///// Saturday, October 5, 2002 ///// 12:35 a.m. /////

I have a cellphone now!! Is this a good thing, or bad thing? o_O; Well I did call a whole bunch of people that I have been meaning to call...except for my wench down in MA. Sorry Kiri, but until I get a phone card, I can't call you. ^^; Long distance on cell phones are waaaay expensive. >_<;;

Had a quick chat with the nurse about the blood result. She said low iron levels. Yup, people, I have anemia. Lovely. I will talk to the doctor about the full report on Tuesday...hopefully, it will be easy to treat. ^^v

My mommy and grandma are visiting me tomorrow. This means two things: 1. I must clean the house. I am usually good about this but I have been slacking and 2. FANTASTIC KOREAN FOOD. *_* Yes I will be in heaven tomorrow.

Leareth, yes I do know I am evil. I am happy that my dumbass email amused you. ^___^ I think my favourite part was concering the "Natural sounds" and the "Human generated sounds"...*evil leer*

Ok me go now...need sleep to wake up early and clean!! ^^v

///// Wednesday, October 2, 2002 ///// 10:25 a.m. /////

Went to see school doctor yesterday to get my blood sucked out. -_-;; My family doctor did a check up on me back in May and he had wanted me to re-take the blood test..for some unknown reason. -_-;; Anyway, don't have time to go to Toronto right now so I had it here. Maybe this test will explain why I am always so goddamned tired. Getting a needle stuck me in was unpleasant...hate needles...

I also went to ask about my wrist and hand. Been hurting fairly consistently and it got quite bad on Monday after I played tennis...the doctore told I "strained" my right hand. >_<;; Hmm, I blame it mostly on my new desk. ^^;; My chair doesn't go up and down in height and so my wrist is perched precariously on the edge while I use the mouse...and I am on my computer a lot. XD And the tennis probably was bad too. My playing is rusty and I am using more of my wrist to hit the ball then using my muscles and the natural arc of my swing. Very bad. And considering Dave plays like a maniac, even worse. Gods, how can those skinny arms of his hit so hard?! @_@;;; And yeah, been drawing a lot too...studio classes are 3 hours straight and I am not used to drawing/painting for such a long period of time. So my arm is all bandaged nice and tight and currently typing with left hand and right hand index finger. ^^v Gah. Writing notes in Classics was brutal. x.x;; Just have one more class today and no more writing. Times like this, I wish I could write with my left. x.x;;;

///// Monday, September 30, 2002 ///// 11:01 p.m. /////

Ok, so I haven't been able to fix the mouse but I did find my old one. So yeah...

Tried to cook today. And when I mean by cooking, not instant noodles. Anyways, I would just like to state that raw chicken is very very gross. I had to de-frost a big batch of chicken legs all frozen together...and UGH!! The icky sliminess, the smell, the blood...it was just too much. I thought I was gonna puke so I asked my bro to finish de-frosting it for me. x.x;; But of course, before I did this, I managed to break a plate. How did I break a plate trying to de-frost chicken? Easy. I was trying to loosen a leg and I kinda banged the whole icy mass on the counter...but a glancing blow caught a plate and it smashed it to bits. -_-;; Yes, I am very talented. Needless to say, disaster strikes everytime I try to cook seriously. And this was only...shake and bake. *bashes head through wall* I think I will just live on instant food and take out for the rest of my life. @_@;; And ugh...my stomach still feels queasy from the chicken. And I actually ate it too. x.x;; Seriously, I think this is how some people become vegetarians...eww...raw meat. x.x;; I will just stick with sushi from now on, thank you.

Talked a lot with Ruaki today, which made me happy. She was there all throughout the chicken fiasco. She pointed out that maybe I shouldn't be allowed into a kitchen anymore...and I agree. -_-;; Hope I amused you with my pathetic antics, my dear. ^^v

Ah Lilack, cool new layout. ^_^ Kyo is awesome. And Yukimura is indeed very fruity. ^___^ And no prob about the gift...been meaning to send it for a long time. x.x;; As for Bourne Identity, I thought it was a fairly good movie...and I hate Matt Damon. ^^;; I haven't read the book so I can't compare but it was pretty cool. I liked the fact that the actress was not a typical "beauty" like the ones you find in other spy movies. ^^;; She was kinda punkish pretty. ^__^ And yeah, the ending was a bit flat but...people usually want happy endings. *shrugs* Sad ne? Life is usually not about happy endings...but then I am a pessimist. ^^v

Coanteen, sorry I haven't emailed you back. Been meaning to but I have been bad with emails. x.x;; I see the creature has made you a new layout. ^___^ Very funky. I will try to call you sometime ok? I need to get a phone card...crikey...

Oh god...Esca's new layout is so cute. I love how she draws Chibi Wolfwood. *_* And Kuroneko sama is da bomb!! *hugs him*

Leareth love, I recently got the LOTR DVD and it had a 10 minute coverage of The Two Towers...and it looks GOOD. *_* All the extra stuff on the DVD was really neat too. ^___^ I liked how they had individual intereviews of the actors because most DVD only have the director or producer yapping about the movie...it's the actors I wanna hear!! Viggo was so cool. ^_^ The swordmaster who was teaching them all was like "He is the best swordsman I have ever taught" and when my bro saw the footages of them filming, he agreed. I asked why he said this and he said that most actors slow down their sword swings and then they speed it up in film...but Viggo was swinging that with speed and total precision...I was much impressed. ^_^ And he did all his stunts. *_* Go Aragorn!!

Ok, my wrist hurts like shit now. It's been hurting for ages now but it's gotten very bad today. I think I might have carpal. x.x;; I am seeing a doctor tomorrow, so that will be one of the question I will asking along with "Why am I tired all the time? Am I anemic? And do you know a specialist I can go to so I can get my wisdom teeth pulled out?" My body is a mess. x.x;; My head, my hand, my teeth...gods what's next? A brain tumour? >_<;;

///// Wednesday, September 25, 2002 ///// 12:04 p.m. /////

Ah shit...my computer crashed yesterday and my mouse is dead. x.x;; I am going to try and fix it but until then, I shall have to use the school computer or my brother's. x.x;; And the really sucky part is that I was in the middle of a download. -_-;; And from streamload too WHICH COSTS MONEY!! *swears up a storm* And I had finally started working on my new layout when it crashed...now when am I gonna be able to work on it again? @_@;;;

Feeling good though since I got to see more Prince of Tennis last night and oh my gosh, Mizuki is SO flamy. x.x;; He SOOO wants Yuuta's ass. x.x;; It was so obviously yaoi that even my brother made a comment. MY BROTHER. You know when a series is way too obviously yaoi friendly if my brother notices. ^^;; And Fuji is scary. Very scary. That part where he is looking out of the changeroom window during the thuderstorm and the lightning flashes and his face looks so creepy. x.x;; It didn't help that he was thinking of his game with Ryouma and his words were something like "I love it. This thrill." x.x;; Fuji the adrenaline junkie???

And oh my gosh, Momo and Ryouma are so cute. x.x;; And how everyone was thinking Fuji will win but Momo believed in Ryouma!!! *_* And oh my gosh, Oiishi is such a mommy. ^_^ He takes care of everyone. And he is SOOOO married to Eiji!!! I mean, when Eiji goes to think about the game they lost, he goes to the place where they first played as a pair...and then Oiishi shows up and he is like "Oh I knew you would be here." XDDD!!!! Married I tell ya!!!!

And Inui is just so evil. x.x;; I don't know how he keeps on cranking out those disgusting drinks. Penal Tea. HA!! ^_^ And Taka san is sooo nice!!! ^___^ Maybe he does like that girl in the cafe ne? *laughs* Oh my gosh, I am rambling about Prince of Tennis too much...but I love it!! ^___^

As for my own tennis lesson, going pretty well. But we just started volleys and I look like a VERY clumsy Eiji. x.x;; I am just not as graceful as him. >_<;; And my brother is a powerhouse so playing with him hurts my wrist. ;_; Have mercy onii chan. ;_; But seriously, only after two lessons, I think I am doing pretty good. Although I haven't played since middle school, my body remembers quite a bit. Lucky!! ^__^

///// Monday, September 23, 2002 ///// 10:30 a.m. /////

At the school library. OK!!! I have finally done one of the three things that I have been meaning to do for a LONG TIME!! They were: 1. Wrap up the gifts I got in Korea for various people and mail them. 2. Update my blog layout and 3. Update my site. Well I managed to do the first one so I am sure the next two will be done soon as well. ^^;; I hope. But yeah, to all the people who I got gifts for, so sorry for the late sending. It was always things interferring with my plans...too busy...too tired...have no money fpr the shipping and handling...GAH! And you can all laugh at my shitty wrapping job...especially Lilack's. ^^;; Sorry love but I ran out of boxes so I had to try making one. Emphasis on "TRY". I ran out of cardboard half way and had to improvise! ^____^ I know...pathetic isn't it?

Had a very enjoyable Classic class today. I love Prof Murison! *_* He is a very jolly old Scottish man and his lecture skills are very high. He is funny too, which is a bonus. ^_^ Wah, today he mentioned how historical fiction has a lot of errors due to the assumptions that authors make about a time they don't know well (we were discussing the Iliad and the Odyssey) and he mentioned books by Lindsey Davies!! *_* She writes those hilarious ancient Rome mysteries with a very unorthodox private eye. Prof Murison said that she has got every single detail about everyday life in Rome down to the last bit!! I am so happy to hear this since I love those books and it's nice knowing that they are also historically correct. ^___^ I do tend to take historical fiction with a big grain of salt but it's nice to know some people actually do some research. *laughs* Actually, we had a nice chat about it after class...the first time I have ever approached my prof. ^^;;

And just so I won't forget...I have been meaning to mention this for a while...MY ART T.A. IS A TOTAL HOTTIE. *_* Oh, T.A. means Teacher Assistant in case someone doesn't know. ^^;; His name is Ryan and he is in fourth year I believe and he is SOO NICE!!! ^___^ I mean, being hot is great, but nice too? Wowza!! I swear, the girls in the class make up excuses to ask him for help just so he can lean over and help them with their sketches. Ok, I am slightly guilty of this too but I really DO need help with my sketches because I suck!!! Thanks Ryan!! ^___^

And oh yeah, did I mention that my art studio prof is named Mr. Moodie? *laughs* The first time I heard his name, I was like "Moody? Like in Harry Potter?" Well my prof isn't missing an eye or paranoid about dark wizards but he does have his quirks. The last class, he was talking about the proper way to hold a brush and what kind of strokes are good and I swear, I almost laughed outloud because it looked like he was waving a wand!!! It really did look like it!!! I was thinking "Oh shit!! Moodie is gonna kill us all!!" Ok so only people who have read the fourth Harry Potter book will get this joke...but I still thought it was hilarious. ^_^ Hmm, now that I think about it, Ryan kinda reminds me of Cedric Diggory...good looking, talented, nice...gosh, I hope Ryan doesn't meet an evil wizard and get zapped to death. x.x;;

ARGH!! Gotta go!! I have class!! @_@;;;

///// Sunday, September 15, 2002 ///// 10:13 p.m. /////

Coanteen came to visit me this Saturday which was great. She is the first friend from Toronto who has visited me in London...but ironically she is usually in Hamilton. Why are all of my best buds spread across the country? @_@;; It was really fun. ^_^ Also, she hadn't seen my bro in a long time and it was nice to see them catch up. We talked a lot (mostly about our respective trips to Korea) and then we went out and pigged out at Red Lobster. Then we yakked some more and then she had to go. ;_; Wish she could have stuck around longer but it was cool. I showed her my Hikaru no Go artbook since she is a big fan of Sai. She liked it. ^_^ We also talked about Saiyuki and stuff. ^_^ I just wish Esca could have been there too. ;_; Oh dear, I read your blog and you need funds for the domain name? Gah. As soon as I get my OSAP, I will send you money ok? And your cds too...gah...must start burning those too...

Yes I know Leareth, I shouldn't be watching the news. *sighs* Just so people know, one of the things that upset me was that two American pilots dropped bombs on Canadian troops in Afgahnistan because they jumped the gun and didn't obey their commander. Stupid stupid fucks! 4 people died because of their idiocy not to mention how many were hurt! And to add insult to the injury, they suspect a drug that the pilots take might have contributed to their irrational actions. The "GO" pills they take give them quick energy...but has also proven to cause symptoms similar to paranoid schizophrenia. This drug is not allowed in Canada (for obvious reasons) but the American government are ok with it. It's bad enough that everyone is jumpy since 9/11 and suspect everyone of being a terrorist...do they really have to give drugs that will increase the paranoia and mentally unstable people armed to the teeth with bombs???!!! Gods, if the American soldiers continue with this "Kill first, ask questions later" philosophy, I fear for the innocent bystanders of the countries targeted by the US. Hell, I fear for the allies too! I guess the only consolation is that the two pilots are being court marshalled and charged for manslaughter...not too much comfort for the family of the victims though...

In a total change of topic (since I don't want to be depressed anymore) is that I found out the seiyuu for the upcoming Naruto anime...AND BOY AM I HAPPY!!! *____* When I was trying to guess who might be the seiyuu for Kakashi, I only had two names in mind: Inoue Kazuhiko or Seki Toshihiko...AND OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA BE INOUE KAZUHIKO!!!!!!!!! *_*_*_*_*_* WAHHHH!!! KAKASHI IS GONNA SOUND SOOOO SEXY!!!! This is gonna be sooo interesting, since he tends to sound very serious...like Hatori in Fruits Basket and Yuki in Gravitation. I mean, Kakashi is pretty laid back you know. Hmm, a laid back Yuki? Gotta see this. *_*

And to add to this happiness, Seki Toshihiko is gonna be in Naruto too...but as Iruka sensei!! GAHHH!! You know, I was never much of a Kakashi x Iruka fan, but now that their voices are gonna be acted by two VERY talented, VERY sexy, and VERY experienced seiyuu (in yaoi roles)...I am gonna have to change my mind. *_* GAHH!! Oh wow...I can't wait until Naruto gets fansubbed...

URGH. Gotta re-do blog. I have been saying this for a long time though. x.x;;; *kicks self* Gotta go now!!
