Yeah...I perfectly well know what time it is. I didn't think I'd stay up this late anyway. But I'm in it so far because I have a day off later today and Jupiter Jazz part 1! *huggles Gren* Hm...yesterday midterms ended. I think I majorly screwed up on physics even though we've done every single problem on the test 'cept for one. I kinda felt cheated he didn't put any newer questions though. I was also completely ignored when I started speaking to some people outside class. It's as if I don't exist in their group. Seems like they might regard me as not as intelligent as them or something...well, I can't really care less as I don't hang out with them. Ick, look at the way I'm speaking; it's almost foul. But I barely spoke to any one at school. When I got home, I answered a few emails from actual friends and talked to C-chan over the phone. ^_^ We have so much fun!! I'm flattered that some one actually calls me. (Note: C-chan, is it just me or does Anastasia look like Kurapika from HxH?)

What can really get to me is HP fanon. Just to how many extremes can slash fics get? Sometimes the coupling is absurd! No wonder the lawyers are out there trying to cast an evil eye on the whole thing (although that has arguements). The obscure couplings I don't support, but I do in cases of SiriusxRemus which seems to be safer than SnapexGinny. But I do find it quite an arguement to try to shut down ISPs in order to prevent young children from reading whatever is up on the 'net. X.x Not my fault people are tired of reading warnings to begin with.

So without any further arguements of sorts, I'm off to watch my favorite episodes of Cowboy Bebop. DUBBED.

It's cold outside, so very cold! (Duh, as if you're not aware of that.) Yesterday there was an anti-war demonstration held outside the UN. Hm, personally I don't want a war, and I think many people don't either. It is inevitable, as many of the commentators say and it's not as if whatever I say would make a difference and change Bush's mind about the subjectmatter. We clearly understand evil should be ridden of, but it's not as simple as that. Would it be the same as the Persian Gulf War? *thinks...* 'ch. Damned technology.

My mother came home from the UN's visa office and said that the US mission does not allow our family to go more than 25 miles from Columbus Circle because_we're_Russian!!!!! Can you believe the nerve of them?! It's not the Cold War anymore! Why do they need to keep track of us? And what's worse, it's not the Moroccans! (sp!!) God, I'm so pissed off! Now that would mean that I might not be able to go to college upstate (not so sure, but) unless we contact the US mission. We're friggin' Russian, what have we done for the US to keep a tab on us?! I want to move to New Zealand pronto, but no.......we're confined here until the visa expires!!! *curses, mumbles, erupts with anger* What's the point? I'm going to violate the 25 mile thing.

School-school now. It seems to have added tension to my relationship with Mi-chan, the previous fight. Ironically she is best friends with the interjector and prolly feels hostile towards me. Gr, sometimes I just want to stomp into the room and tells this one girl: you don't understand me better than I! blah blah I'm not racist blah blah you're not God blah. But would that change her "superior" attitude? No, it won't and I don't see why she thinks of herself as superior if she wasn't in any honors or AP classes to begin with. And her damned awful story is causing tension between those who ARE in honors.

*blows some steam* No, I don't think I'll erase this entry, nope...don't think I will. Need to rant sometime, ne? What better place than this?

BACK to the goodness in life: for the Inu Yasha fans out there (not I), the game's coming out in March in the US. Hm, what else....? *blink* Ah, C-chan's story:

C-chan: I wrote an original story!! You want me to read it to you?
Me: okay! *is excited*
C-chan: *reading* Okay that was slash. I put it in just for you. *smile*
Me: squeeeeeeeee!
C-chan: ow, you hurt my eardrums! Anyway, I thought it would be a dull story with straight couples.
Me: you see? I'm not such a bad influence after all. I did *not* corrupt you^_^
C-chan:....
Me: Oh, btw, I'm visualizing my HP owl in a thong.
C-chan: I can't keep up with you.

Midterms are officially Tuesday which means, according to my friends, we can watch Adult Swim. Today I was compiling notes on British history when I get a phone call from my otouto telling me I have to return the tape and dvd that we rented back to the story. This is a problem seeing that the whole building is filled with college grads and the majority of them are stocking for the Super Bowl. It snowed outside <~~~~That was the only perk. Most of the people were staring at me because, hell, they prolly never saw a 17-year-old walk by herself to the video store in midtown.

Poor Ashley-chan's punished for two months because she came home late from tagging along on a double date. Poor ol' Prongs-chan nearly cried when she was with them and was frightened by Darkness Falls! *huggle*

Anyway, I'm watching the Super Bowl with my otouto for the commercials. Ne...minna...there's not a hint of sanity left in me...

I'd never figure I would meet some one who has Kyou's personality until today when I was trying to give a bit of advice that turned into a mini brawl. I felt bad about not saying a lot to this rampant person so I wrote her a note that may have cleared things up since she interjected every time I spoke. A-chan kept on saying how she knows I am when I am angry, but that's entirely false as she hasn't SEEN me angry, just thinks she has an idea of it. That's only the problem of assumption.
So why did this person throw a hissy fit? Because she received a low grade in Internet class. Any one with common sense would go up to the teacher and ask why this grade was marked as it was, but this person doesn't like the teacher. To me, it seems, she isn't the type of open person to do so anyway. That was another thing the teacher did not like about her. Ho hum...and she yells at me and says she'll bring her mother into this although that is foolish since it isn't the parent's responsibility to discuss the progress and mark of the student proving he/she did/not deserve the grade. I think it may be because this student did not participate in the group work IE talking with us on certain subjectmatters because she just is not the type of person to. That won't get any one very far in life.

Just my two cents on this. I did not like it very much that this person acted like a god and told me not to talk to some one and not to mutter.

ANYWAY, I did have a rather dull day. Every period was study and I got a chance to reread some notes on the Laws of Manu from Haru no Yuki. I briefly imagined an anime movie out of this book. It would be very beautiful O.O!!

All right, so I'm one day late with the layout. I should at least update a bit more.

A-chan has a FANFIC with me paired with Yuki Eiri in her infamous story of many parts. O.o;;;;;;;;;;

No PoT volumes today, ne. Mi-chan came home at 11 PM. She must have frozen walking for a while. C-sensei has no sense of direction *nod, nod*!!! Mally-tachi, kawaiisou! (sp?)

Expect a layout change some time today...*twitch*...anyway, service was all right. This kawaii otoko no ko had a playdate with a girl and told her, "did you dream about me when I left? I dreamt about you!" ^____^!!!!!! This is the same one who told his playmates "I love you!"

Hontou genki da yo ne? Half of my classmates ventured to Washington DC to march in the frigid cold which is held every year on the same date because of the Roe v. Wade case. #^.^# They're going to freeeeze.

Ma-chan sent me her story that includes four characters from my own series. *^^* Two of the characters I wrote for (and another in the prologue), but Izumi-kun and Laven-chan were very OOC!!!!! Although their personas fit with the story, I can never imagine Izumi being one of the conquering types as he's kind (until provoked, but getting back to the point...) and Laven is very genki and negligent of her empireXD! BTW, IzumixLaven scares me. o.O;;;

Mi-san's handing over her PoT volumes 2 and 3 tomorrow. Midterms are next week. I'm looking forward to getting it all over with and passing them. Fufu...

I finally saw The Two Towers today with my brother. I was not disappointed (at least this is coming from some one who has not read the books), but overall it depends on the perspective of the viewer. For whatever reason some one found something wrong between the book and movie, one should think of how it helped with telling the story in movie form and if those certain things contributed to the overall tale (and please don't argue over the smallest details), then that must be important. I think it is rather hard for many people to put such an epic tale on screen. You have to credit the whole cast for at least *something* and working very hard on that. However, there have been loads of movies that were worse off than the original book version. Anyway, I thought Legolas and Gimli's friendship's fun ("don't tell the elf!") and "your Sam" made me squirm. Merry and Pippin are adorable (and I continue to lack in comments and descriptions and adjectives).

On a note, Jude Law *kinda* makes a better Lupin (just a thought). I can't wait for the movie to come out and book 5.

Alex-kun's bringing his Gundam Seed tape tomorrow so I can watch. The only reason I wanted to avoid the show is because of the character designs (horrible reason?). Speaking of Gundam Seed, "Invoke" rocks my world.

Nonononononono! Think of the fans when you cast for PoA!! Is this the best we will get? *cries over possible actors for Sirius and Remus* I don't want to not see the movie because of it. My friend's already willing to throw something at the movie screen if she's not satisfied with the casting. Argh...damn it, why am I taking these stupid things into account when we can go to the Marauders Map Union for salvation?

I made a happy little Ayame layout for my AA page that I'm very fond of. (It has to be one of my favorite scenes...) Anyway, come take a look-see if you want. *Poke Poke, KICK!*

Surfing through Mugglenet.com, I found an article linked on Harry Potter slash.

So lawyers determine fandom? It also said ISPs are being told to close down those sites. Good bloody luck, but it won't happen that fast. At least I don't want it to, and of course there will be a lot of distraught fans.

You can't really be too trusting with people, ne?!! That whole statement seems wrong to some and to others true, but why can't we always rely on people? Trust them as well, right? Right, point is: I lent my Newtype to a friend of my brother's and expected him to return it shortly after scanning the whole magazine and making copies of it. Of course, those were selected pictures. It took him a month to return it in terrible condition! The cover was already off, pages were torn and bent. He now heard me yelling when my brother (who wants ME to apologize to him, the retard) talked to him. This child is now fearing for his life. ^___^;;;

Today was still blah, and not getting any better. My printer is shut down for life~~~~ick. Now I have to print at school which is a problem because the network is shut down. My friend G-chan announced she'll be a psychologist and a lawyer in Japan. O.O;; Go you, but the problem is that you do not have enough patience and you get upset too easily and when you do get worked up you give up. Now, if you can't handle people, that would pose as in issue. Just to note, she wrote a college essay. I'm guessing this isn't her first draft as she was copying from a paper, but practice makes perfect and giving up quickly on an essay with good points isn't a good idea. Pressure isn't even the fault, I'm guessing.

DN ANGEL ANIME!!!!!! I'm so excited. Newtype Feb. issue has a good image of Dark (tummy!), Daisuke, Riku and Risa. I don't know what the drama cds covered, but the series has to start off somewhere different. If the drama cds covered parts of the series, it would be an issue. That won't happen in the end, I'm sure, and it will be fine. I hope it would. I can't wait to see it. ^.^!!

It took me twenty minutes to go to kinokuniya and then back home. The purpose was to get a Mishima book, but in doing so I failed to find Animedia, bought Newtype for DN Angel, the anime (^_____^ finally!!!!), PoT 16, and DN Angel 7. My mother paid half of what I got and I'm quite pleased.

I still haven't seen LoTR: The Two Towers. XD!!!! I was supposed to see it today, but my mother said "no" as we had other plans. >.>'che, I wonder if it'll still be in theatres February...(and I can't really doubt it). My brother's tomodachi have seen it five times as it is.

Spiffy Icchan go boom, pointless entries happen.

I Am

Which tarot card are you?

Ceremony, ritual and revealed wisdom.
A need to conform, social approval, bonded to the conventions of society Mercy, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, conformity, a sense of historical importance, inspiration.

Sometimes called the High Priest, he's the counter part to the High Priestess, but represents the wise man rather than the wise woman. He's a great teacher, advisor and counsellor and will give good advice even if it's a bit conventional in spirit. He can represent the feeling of having one's creativity stifled and is not the favourite card of the deck for the more maverick and unconventional of us.

External Meaning: Religious influence. Conformity. An inspirational teacher who revelas signs of spiritual importance. Gateways to higher consciousness reached in a ritualized way. Esoteric Meaning: The magus of the eternal. Inner teacher. Mercy. Manifestation. Energys: Taurus.
