You know what's funny? When the person that does the laundry uses too many sheets of fabric softener, so when you sleep on your fabric softener-saturated pillowcase, you wake up with a head that smells of Snuggle brand fabric softner.

Anyways, .hack//SIGN kicks ass. Lots of it. So much ass you wouldn't know where it all comes from. Yep. It kicks that much ass.

Despite its ass kickingness, there is a flaw. Now I want to get its sound track and the four video games like a rabid fangirl. Unfortunately, I have already compiled a long list of other crap that I want, so... yeah. I can't get it all... unless my some stroke of mysterious luck we win the Super 7 with its humongous jackpot. Pshaw. Like that's going to happen.

On another note, the nurse from the insurance company came today. I would have something to say about that, but then again, I won't say anything because it fringes on the too much information category. But if any of you had to go through these checks, YOU'LL know what I'm talking about.

Thank God for March Break. Now maybe I'll sleep more than just four hours a night.

Yesterday I went to a get-together-like thing at Danielle's house. Unlike last time however, many people came. Some of the guys came to. After watching TV, and watching the really cool Guilty Gear X2 bonus movie on Sensei-san's PS2, we had dinner, and Aky, KT and I ate in the living room because they didn't love us *sniff*. That or there wasn't enough seats at the table. While eating, I played the Guilty Gear X2 soundtrack, which was entertaining.

After dinner, Sensei-san challenged me to a match in GGX2. He kicked my sorry ass. After we finished our match, others had finished their dinners and came to watch, and make bets. I apoligize to Sa Sa, because she bet on me (I let you down! *cry*). People started joining in, and we started up a system where losers of each match would have to give the controller to someone else, and after three wins, the champion would have to 'retire'. Needless to say, I was surprised that we played for two hours. Then again, that was in a group. I played for six hours on my own before. But despite my rabid fangirlish ways, everyone seemed to enjoy it. And if I created one more fanboy/fangirl, I would know that I had done my duty that night. *froth froth*

At about 9 pm, we took out GGX2 and put in Devil May Cry. It was fun, but people started to go off and do their own thing. A lot of them played Mah Jong in the other room. Then we video game freaks were banished to the basement because we were hogging the TV. There we set up on a new TV that was ancient and difficult to set up. While Sensei-san and Albion were struggling with the defiant TV, B, Aky, KT, and I played some ping pong, and other toys. I forget when, but Sensei-san and I later sat on chairs that were shorter than our calves, and then he on a rocking horse that was impossibly small, and I on a car-like toy for toddlers. Later, He and Aky tried to cram themselves into a small toy sedan. No vehicles were harmed in the duration of the party, although there may be some sore asses out there.

When the TV was set up, we hooked up KT’s GameCube and played Metroid Prime. I sucked at that. Eventually I went back upstairs and watched SpongeBob Squarepants with Aky and B. I fell asleep and woke up ten minutes later. I was groggy and tired for the rest of the party. I went back downstairs and watched Sensei-san and Albion fight each other in Dead or Alive 2. After awhile I was invited to play and did so until KT’s mom came and picked us up. It was a sleepover party, but KT and I don’t do sleepovers. Pshaw!

And that was the party. There’s more going on today, but I probably won’t go, family stuff and all that.

I have determined that I will die from arthritis. And if it's not fatal, I'll make it fatal. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day... ooOOoo... One day...

P.S.: I am a lazy butt.

Today was the most PAINFUL pick on MOE day evar. Gee, thanks guys. *le sigh*

Anyways, It doesn't matter! Pretty soon, I'll be INSURED. Yep, I'll be insured at fifteen, which I originally thought of as a bit paranoid and grim, but it's actually a good idea, because the premiums are cheaper since I'm young, and not too sickly. I am also thankful that for my gender, since my male cousin thats younger than me has to pay more each month. Heh heh heh, sucker.

So if one day I DO get hit by a truck, my dad can cash out on my death! Money! And everyone will be happy!

Except me. I'll be dead.

"Oh, dear God!"

The girl screamed in horror, realizing it was still alive. How? How did this menace survive? Had she not just killed it? She was sure she was staring at it's ghastly remains not too long ago..! Not waiting for any answers, she fled.

Sprinting as fast as she could, she made her way through the twisting hallways, running as fast as she could, but no matter how quickly she ran, she always heard it behind her, always gaining on her. She turned one corner, then another, until she came to an abrupt stop.

"No..." she whispered in barely contained horror.

She had ran into a dead end. There was no escape now.

She could hear it clearly now. It was directly behind her. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she turned around slowly, dreading what she might see. She slowly raised her gaze to stare at the object of her torment, and her eyes widened.

In an instant, it was all over. The girl fell to the floor with a dull thud, the life in her eyes gone. The being paused a moment before moving on. The French Project had more vitims to claim.

The French Project That Won't Die, And Then Steals Your Soul/Sanity: coming soon to a school near you.

...I have forgotten what I wanted to say. Instead, I shall act out the beginning of the universe for you, through interpretive dance...

Oh wait, I remember now. Nevermind.

I was dragged to No Frills again today. The sale is still on, and it was many times worse today than it was last Sunday. Never have I seen such crowds or frantic mobbing of the poor stock people. People were taking things off the shelves with such ferocity... as God as my witness, I shall never go to No Frills again.

NEVER AGAIN.

I also watched a bit of Akira last night/this morning. I was working on one my my projects when it came on. All I have to say is I want Tetsuo's powers, minus the slight insanity and horrible mutations. Yeah.

I 've been re-watching a couple episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I like the anime very muchly, but Shinji is such a whiny weenie sometimes/a lot of times. I never really realized it when watching the sub, but the dub makes him a lot worse.

I am also bitter over the horrendous amount of homework I have. I also realize that it's my fault I have this much homework. I am not sure if I should be angry at the system or myself. Hmmm...

Probably myself.

...And today's moral is: Going to the bank only once every two years is a bad idea.

In other news, yes B, that is ironic. The world is out to get me. *cry*

Furthermore, I am an angsty teen. Watch as I proceed to rant in a hormonal fashion. Rar.

Pop-up ads aren't fun. I also dislike it when my computer restarts... on its OWN. (insert sinister music here)

My house has many trees and bushes on our front lawn, but little does everyone know, they have a secret.

On the outside, they look like normal trees and bushes, but inside, they have a shriveled up dry core. The inside is almost completely dead. It’s all brown and dry.

Most of the year, they can put up a façade of fake health, for they shield themselves with their green exterior, but they can hide nothing when winter arrives. The snow weighs down the branches, revealing its true appearance. What we are left up with is a brown plant with green branches, seemingly jammed into its side. In particular, a tree near my door looks like someone tried to peel it like a banana, or as if the hapless tree offended some heavenly figure, and incurred the wrath of God, thus a lightning bolt split the tree asunder. It’s really cool.

This is why winter is the best season ever. That and snow days.

Who wants to play a game? The name of the game is Disease Tag! I made it up myself! It’s FAR more interesting than, say normal tag, or its boring variations (i.e. Freeze Tag).

How does one play? Simple! The game begins with a person who is ‘it’. This person will be infected with a horrible disease, like tuberculosis! The person will have to frantically search for other players to infect. Once they succeed in catching someone, the disease will be passed on to the victi…err… player! The original person that was ‘it’ will then be cured of the horrible affliction! Yay!

Of course, the disease will be slow acting, so the person will have PLENTY of time to search for other players! But what will happen if they don’t succeed? They die a slow painful death, silly! Teehee!

Yes I realize that there are several problems with my idea. I mean that with a game as popular as this, how will I ever keep this craze under control? Nevertheless, Disease Tag will be a fad that will sweep across the nation! Hurray!

My dad took my sister and I out to visit my grandparents, and my uncle was there too. I have renewed my appreciation for my uncle Peter. As far as uncles go, he's pretty cool.

If you're not familiar with my uncle (and you probably aren't), I should explain why he is cool. Not only does he play video games, works for Sony, and can get me free crap and doesn't mind doing so, he also rides a motorcycle. Actually, he took his mortorcycle lessons with my dad, but it's hard to picture my dad on a motorcycle. He's even trying to get a liscence to teach motorcycling, so now he want's me to learn how to ride a bike so I can learn how to ride a motorcycle too. It would be interesting for me to learn how to ride a motorcycle, but...

He also buys motorcycles like crazy.

And you know that free crap? Since he works for Sony, he get company benefits, and guess what company produces OLP CDs? Apparently, my uncle has also seen Raine Maida walking around the office. What's more, I think my uncle likes OLP. How cool is that?

The rest of the weekend was kind of blah. Other than watching the last few episodes of Bubblegum Crisis at 12am, nothing much happened.

The moral of this weekend: No Frills is a mad house when they have sales. A MAD house. And Winter is the best season. EVAR.

Wrote the Waterloo Math Conteset today. Normally, I wouldn't write about something like this, but this one is special. This one has history.

My tale begins one brisk winter afternoon, also known as this monday. After school, Sensei-san, B, KT, and I, went to the math department for admit slips so we could go to the blasted contest. We were in a bit of a rush, seeing as how we all had buses to catch, so imagine our delight as the events unfolded.

We gathered around the department door, knocked, and waited somewhat impatiently for someone to answer. Nothing happened. So we tried again, somewhat more frantically this time. We began to worry after a while, but to our relief, someone finally opened the door.

We pled our case, and were only slightly irritated when the teacher only stared back blankly, as if he had no clue what we were babbling about. He told us to find Mr. Greto, who was, hopefully, still in his class. We held back (or at least I did) a cry of frustration as we paced around the corner to find Mr. Greto...

We interuppt this blog for an important announcement. As of today, MOE has bitten B 15 times on the arm. Also, Guilty Gear X(2) is cool (*froth froth*). Thank you, and we now return you to the regularly scheduled blog, already in progress.

... walking towards us. I didn't recognize him, but it was a good thing Sensei-san did. He told him of our problem, and he nodded. He headed back to the department and dissapeared behind the door.

By now, we were all a little nervous. I had to have been five minutes since the bell rang, and Mr. Greto didn't seem all to concerned about whether or not we missed the bus. He came out, blinked at us for following him like a litter of puppies, and walked back to his class. I'm pretty sure we were all getting frustrated with the waiting by then.

He pulled out a check list and a pile of admits. we gathered around to check our names off, but lo and behold, our names weren't on the list. Anywhere. After a few minutes of frantic (on our part at least)questioning and threats (from Mr. Greto) we snagged our admits and ran out like bats out of hell...

Only to find the buses were leaving. Most had already left. Joy.

Admist the confusion, KT and I ended up on B's bus, seeing how ours was gone. Our new destination? B's house. I was a bit dazed from all the crazy crap, but oh well.

B lead us to her house, and at the time, the power was out. How convenient. I used the phone to tell my sister where I was, and we had a very sarcastic discussion over the phone. B gave us the grand tour, and now I'm freaked out by her laundry room. Why? Because the power was off, yet an eerie glow was emitted from the cracks under the door, while the rest of the basement was pitch black. It was eerie...then I learnt it was daylight from the window inside, but I still think that room is spooky.

We had lot's of fun while at B's house though. We did a whole bunch of crazy crap, like moshing with only three people, shining bright lights in each others eyes to watch the pupils dilate, and trying to teach KT how to use an abacus. B, ever the kind and gracious hostess, fed us. Cookies, and when the power came on, Instant Noodles. After a fun filled afternoon, KT's mom picked us up and wen went home. Not much happened after that.

Then we had the Contest today. I went in with a bit of anxiety, I AM stupid and all, but after the first two sections, my worries dissapeared. Then I got to the last section.

Holy crap. the first two sections took me fifteen minutes, plus checking AND paranoia. when I got to the last section, my head imploded. I had no idea on how to approach the questions. I managed to complete two, and that was it. The contest was over. All those crazy shenanigans for that?!

...Oh well, it was sort of fun.

Today is a day that will live in infamy, for today is the day I recieved my copy of Guilty Gear X2. I am still reveling in its glory.

Guilty Gear X was, and is, an amazing game. Not only was it gorgeous to look at, it had an amazing cast of really cool characters, and an original story. From the minute I first saw it. I knew I had to get it, and when I finally did, my head blew up. I am ashamed to say, that perhaps I was/am a rabid fangirl... but I regret nothing! I had to get the next game, and here I am today, with it's 'sequel'.

Guilty Gear X2 has all the characters from the previous games(even the ones from the very original), PLUS some new ones. Johnny, May, and Dizzy are, and forever will be, my favourite characters, but I can't help but like the new ones too, even though all of them are extremely disturbing.

And if really cool characters wasn't enough, the game also has a gallery section, with a bonus mini movie. A MOVIE!@# How freaking cool is that?! The clip was amazing. It was only about Guilty Gear X, but still... It had brief character backgrounds, history of the games, and really cool fight scenes, all rolled into one!@ If Guilty Gear X is ever made into an anime, I will die a very, very, happy fangirl. *froth froth*

So here I am, gleefully typing about my brand new video game, knowing that I'll probably one day fail something at school due to my rabid obsession with Guilty Gear X, and all I can say is, 'oh well'.

Well, that and:
GUILTY GEAR X(2) IS THE BEST GAME EVAR!!!!!!1

Thank you.

Not much happened today, then again, not much happened throughout the week since last sunday.

Like always,I got better, and went to school the day after I was horribly sick. I have yet to claim a sick day. Semester 2 began. It's really 'ehh'.

Went to the mall with my dad and sister, and stopped at EB. I was browsing through the shelves, not really finding anything too interesting, until...until...

My sister pointed out a copy of Guilty Gear XX.

I didn't even know it was out yet. It was beautiful... It was so amazing... It was so cool...

It was sold out.

So that meant no video game for MOE, at least for a while until they re-stock. Or I could go around looking for a copy, but...ehh.

Yep. Another typical day for MOE.

02:58 p.m.

Right, I'll try to keep this simple.

Yesterday and the day before, my family had a big Chinese New Year get together. On Friday, we went out for dinner, and walked around in First Markham afterwards. Big mistake.

The place was really crowded. Everyone got seperated countless times. Eventually, some people went home first seeing how it was 11:30, but the kids stayed at the mall. My cousin and I went to the arcade and proceeded to waste lots of money, while my dad accompanied us to provide extra cash. My sister, and my two cousins went window shopping. We left at around 12:30 am.

Yesterday, we went out for dimsum and whatnot. Had some more fun, then everyone went home. Later in the evening, some of my extended family dropped by in the evening. Us kids played videogames.

I went to bed at 1:00 am, and all was well...for a while...

At around 2:30 in the morning, I felt this sickening desire to vomit. My dad was still up, so I asked him what I should do. He gave me some medicine, and told me to rest in the living room for ahile. So there I was, lying on the couch and watching TV, when I felt like I really had to vomit, and that's what I did. I went to the washroom, and spewed out the contents of my stomach, probably spiting up the medicine too. I went back to the living room, and rested on the couch for awhile before going to barf again. By this time, it was around 5:00, so I decided to back up stairs and try to sleep. What a joke that was.

Throughout the night, I would wander out of my room to the bathroom, and barf. Violently. I'll spare you the details, but it wasn't pretty. When I wasn't vomiting, I couldn't sleep. I got around two hours of sleep. So, seeing as how I couldn't sleep and all, I got out of bed at 7:00, and went downstairs. My grandmother, who was also up, was surprised, and when I told her I was sick, she gave me some of her plain congee. Since I had emptied out my stomach during the night, I was kind of hungry, and I thought it would be safe to eat it, shows how much I know. She told me to go back to sleep, and I tried too.

I couldn't believe it, but I barfed the congee up too. It was water and rice! I had no sesasoning, not even salt, and I still managed to get sick. After that experience, I decided not to eat anything at all until I felt better. It's 3:20 and I still haven't eaten anything. Which suits me fine, I'm not really hungry.

So after vomiting for the sixth time in seven hours, I tried to go to sleep, especially since I wasn't as nauseous with nothing in my stomach. But lo and behold, my legs ached. That meant I either had, or was getting the flu. Also, I was beginning to get a fever, so I couldn't sleep. My dad, upon seeing how miserable I was, gave me some Tylenol, and surprisingly, I managed to sleep. When I woke up, my nausea was, for the most part, gone, and my legs ached incredibly less. Hooray.

So here I am, slightly nauseous with a mild flu, typing out this crap, so you can read it with a horrified disgust and interest. It's like watching a car accident eh?

Well if anything was learnt by this ordeal, it is:never, NEVER eat half a bag of Jalepeno and Cheddar Doritos by yourself, and follow it with a Chinese dessert.

What makes me think it was the Doritos that made me sick? You wouldn't want to know...

Lots of crazy crap happened today, so...yeah. Went to Danielle's house for a themed party, and an odd theme at that.

So, I woke up at 8:30, which was when I was supposed to be at B's house, much to my embarassment. After much scrambling and preparing, I managed to get to B's house only an hour late! Hoorah! Not long afterward, we found ourselves in yet another car, and we soon arrived to Danielle's house.

I was a bit uneventful at first. I set up my videogames that I brought over, and we contented ourselves with playing the demo for The Getaway. Naturally, we sucked when it came to driving against traffic. Joan and Aky were also on the computers, doing what sinister deeds I'll never know...

So we just did our own thing, wondering where everyone else was, until we realized that we were wasting away from hunger. Apparently, a pizza was ordered while I wasn't paying attention, but that's nothing new. The pizza arrived, and there was much rejoicing.

Paula came over after lunch. She and Danielle started watching soap operas, which meant that I couldn't play video games anymore. So, dejected and bored, B and I went to the basement to play Ping Pong, and we sucked. We also came up with a scenario, where the stuffed leopard in the basement would come alive and maul us to death. We were quite amused.

Shortly afterwards however, we got bored, so I began to use the treadmill, while B was reading an Archie comic of some kind. After about ten minutes of walking, I got bored and went upstairs. There was some mocking of soap operas, but nothing too notable.

When the soap operas were finally over, I popped in the "Lord of the Rings" DVD into my PS2, and we watched that for awhile. It wouldn't be anything too interesting if there wasn't a commentary coming from a bunch of hyper teenaged girls. Joan was very amused thoughout the whole movie. At what I don't know...

We had people leaving for snacks once in a while. I ate some jam mixed with whipped cream since there was no ice cream left. It was sugary.

It was pretty uneventful for the rest of the "party". No one else showed up... Oh well. My dad picked me up, and I gave Joan a ride home.

Oh yeah! I also acquired a copy of Devil May Cry 2. I'm a little intimidated by how it's on TWO disks, but oh well. Gunna play that one tomorrow.

Alright, this is my first entry without the aid of my deity-like friends, so bear with me.

To start, my name is moe. Well, technically, it isn't, but I wouldn't want my true identity to be revealed with all these ninjas about. Heaven's no! But I digress. This blog is my first attempt of anything on the internet, other than my silly MSN profile. I am quite computer illiterate, so I decided what better time to learn than now? With the help of my god-like deity friends, I venture forth, to combat evil and fight in the name of...!

...Ahem. Sorry.

Basically, my friends took pity on my poor soul, and combined their knowledge to help me create a little place in the vast expanses of the internet for myself so I will not be forgotten in the flow of time... alas.

This is also an excellent oppurtunity to spill out my guts, and display the contents in a fairly aesthetically pleasing manner! Hooray!

Be warned however,I have a nasty habit of abandoning things when they start to feel like work. I may end up only updating once a month. I shall only write when it suits my fancy, and my fancy is a fickle thing, it is!

So kick back, and watch things unravel! Slowly unravel.
