Service day, yay. Had a great time; no injuries...

Factoid: There is a 4/5-year-old Kazuki at my service site. #^_________^#

And more randomness ensues! I've been waiting to put this up for a while:
Seishirou was at a pool bar when he accidentally knocked down Kakyou. So he kissed him forcefully and they drew colourful pictures together.

Take the Anime soundtrack Quiz

And yes, if any one bothers to ask, I am feeling much better. ^__^!

There are so many peeves I have. Humans, for example. Well, some of course. None come close to my younger brother. No. This is NOT your stereotypical whiny rant about how much I hate him (but I do, however, that is not the point) and wish to cry about it to some one, when in fact it might seem to be the opposite of it. My younger brother, 14 years old, is doing well in school. He's hot-headed, cannot ever control his emotions, is stuck on steroids for the rest of his life and has asthma. Also, he curses way too much, he watches wrestling, and yes, even porn. Is THIS supposed to be "normal" behavior for some one at 14 years old? I do not think it is. I personally believe people should at least educate themselves and pick up a book once in a while instead of watching pointless and tasteless garbage on TV. And my point? He also inflicts pain onto others. He always believes he is correct, always talks back, and if he doesn't get his way, he hits people. He nearly choked me today. He repeatedly hit me with his sandals because he wanted me to retrieve his homework. He even managed to strike me with bats in the past all because he's not able to control his emotions. He's annoying, yes, unsanitary, yes, lazy? Hell yeah. The point I'm trying to make is that many people in this society call this normal behavior for a 14-year-old. Whatever happened to safe conservatism? And as for myself? I do not wish to relate with him. His abuse will only escalate and it is too late to treat him. I DON'T love him. I will say it right now, there is NOTHING to love about some one who abuses you verbally and sometimes even physically. I gave up fighting back because I know I will cause even greater damage to him and two because I think it is wrong to hit any one for any reason except self-defense. It's still wrong, I believe.

PS: I saw X: The Movie the other day and considered it even better developed than the TV series in the absence and in the addition of characters. Some seiyuu were terrible but all and all it was a bit better. Prolly tasteful, too, but I thought Kamui and Fuuma's seiyuu could have been a whole lot better. ^_^'kies.

I still don't think I deserved a 75. WE HAD NO TIME TO FINISH!!! It is so not fair. Then this quite bitchy chick told me to center it around the literary thing instead. If so, what is the significance of the other events!!?? It's too late now, don't you think? We had NO TIME AT ALL!! I was about to get into Beowulf, I WAS, but the bell rang. I will have to discuss this on Thursday because I am extremely, EXTREMELY UPSET!!!! There are just so many things to teach that we really have no other time. The other rant, heh, is the following: "if you don't like this country so much, why don't you just leave?" I am sick and tired of people saying it. When Johnson burned the flag, he did it as a form of criticism of the government. Maybe I don't like the way parts of the country are run. It is the people who supposedly run the government and people have a right to an opinion being wrong or right. There are three points of view. Maybe this is what my mother meant by telling me her friend did a study that concluded a certain race is narrow-minded. And indeed how human is that? Ignorant, possibly.

Yep, I think I'm done now. I think it's called free speech that didn't harm others. Speaking of that...the government and people can be so hypocritical with what they show on TV regarding anime, mainly. If it's a TV show, it can automatically not be edited for some content? o.O!! Has any one seen anime for the 14+ warning on TV? Adult Swim is for 18+, but where did Y7 come from? Why is it cut? Because it's a "cartoon?" How hypocritical. That's another reason why I dislike some humans. -__-;; No, make that the majority.

*cough* Right. I'm still sick yet my brother is not as sick as I am and does NOT go to school. Hmph. Yeah, I asked if he regretted staying home, and of course, he did. I usually do when I stay home. Hey, I am doing very well so far. I finally got 100 on my sociology test ^^go me! I guessed on a question: what day does so and so meet? I answered: on so and so's day off. Yeah. It was a guess; a correct one! I also got an A- on my Gandhi essay and a stupid undeserved 75 % in English. One, we had no time to finish presenting. I had less than a minute until I finished but we started 10 minutes into the class. Every one gave me credit on it, too. Beh, we even did a time line, but gomen! It was not visual. We did well. I tried to prevent Mimi from reading the riddle. I tried....o.o;; is that why there's a smiley face on my paper??? Mimi contributed to the greatness of this day too by also returning my blank CD. Yay...

Anata ka mo shirenai!!!

Cassie finally returned my Tenchi tapes and she managed to tell me about a blonde Anastasia in her classes who likes anime. ^_^! Speaking of which "BONJOUR DOMON" is still in my head!!! LOL!! Creative Writing class is so much fun. We discussed the bellbottoms of George and the infamous attire of Domon. Hm...will I make my chara look like Domon? Lol, nope, not this time, but I do happen to have a Sai Saishi clone in my story. My individual story is so interesting. The fire extinguisher~~~! The many uses to dent a person's cranium~~! I love school, really.

Tomorrow, Ashley and Cassie will be introduced to the magic of seiyuu. ^_~ squicky...!

Note: GerbilnTheMicrowave is insane, Rei!!!!! I couldn't stop laughing over it the whole day.

My day involved loads of fluffy things: coloring, drawing for religion, recording for English (loads of BGMs from X TV), and from Rei-chan:

NekoInsanity: guess who I am?
NekoInsanity: hellooo?

XxYumemixX: dear God not another screen name!!
NekoInsanity: ^______________^
XxYumemixX: *pets you* they keep on getting even more interesting
NekoInsanity: ^^
NekoInsanity: don't they just?
XxYumemixX: yes they do

^_^ Plus I have Ryuichi Sakuma's hair cut and I'm sick. BAH. This is what I get for scowering the city for Newtype USA (all in the wrong places, btw).

OMG, my poor Sarah-chan!! I hope your eye's better. Evil, evil plastic! My mother's friend had a bug in hers (dragonfly). So it was a rather icky week.

Yesterday, Halloween, went to the opera with my mother and brother. We went to see Turandot. I have to complain. That opera was so tacky, so awful! I did not like it one bit. My brother's constant bickering, bothering, and burping did not help! He even blew his nose loudly! He wore jeans! No one wears jeans to an opera! His pants were falling. It did not help! I was so embarrassed to even be associated with him. At the end he wiped his nose on my sweater!!! And he's 14 years old!! ARGH!!! Not to mention saying "Happy Halloween" to every person he got to come in contact with.

Today we were supposed to see Spirited Away. ALAS, the movie did not arrive yet by the time they were supposed to first screen it. So my mom left 80 dollars for absolutely nothing. Instead, my brother bought supplies for his new goldfish, which will prolly die within a few days or so.

I want some McDonald's to cheer me up. Chik'shou!

It just occurred to me as I was watching G Gundam repeats:

Domon - King of hearts
Sai Saishi - Ace
Argo - Joker
Chibodee - Queen
George - Jack

Conclusion: Domon and Chibodee's son is George. ^____^ Fic coming soon. lol!!!!

Listening to "Ultra Relax..." and I really should be studying for the sociology test tomorrow. I just don't want to disturb my mother so I took one of my brother's infamous long breaks to drink tea and eat peanut butter cookies because I finished two weeks' worth of homework and muse about how much this song reminds me of Keynisha and Rashida's randomness. That...and how I finally managed to get the opening to WK Gluhen (.rm). ^_^ I'm still excited about how my compy managed to load it to make the picture quality superb.

Oh~~~new series. No title as of yet but it's doing great very well so far. I plan to release five volumes of manga if I ever get into it and make that my career~~mangaka.

Mm...plan to see Spirited Away later this week with my otouto. Ah, the freedoms gained at the age of 17 only last. I have to confess to something else there: I think I'll enjoy the movie seeing as my otouto is interested. He tells me he wants to learn Chinese, not a specific dialect, just to know as much to understand what's going on around him since he tells me he hears it a lot every day. Woot! So we'll have a Japanese and Chinese pair in the family. ^_^ Odd...o.O;; But unique.

I do not think I am prepared for the presentation at all. It would be wise for it to be moved to next Monday since we didn't finish "boot camp," ne?

I'll be linking two bloggers hopefully soon *glares* and from there I'll introduce them to WK and Yami no Matsuei. -__- Is it just me...or do I feel old? WK started in '96...'97... or so. I found out about it in '00 and now in '02 there will be the "new generation" of otakus who only find out about anime series that are soon to be distributed commercially or already are.
And speaking of age, one of my teachers constantly tells our class just how smart and outstanding our grade level is in comparison to the rest of the school. o.O;; Uh...thanks.
Must prepare my Japanese for Wednesday. I was told to stand next to S--- while she spoke to a parent and pick up whatever I know. I immediately left...managing to say "dou itashimashite" thinking to myself just how ridiculous I am because I fear I said something wrong or what was not supposed to be said. It's almost like learning Russian...but heh, I didn't have to...but the language's tough to learn.

PS: My mother is making me take it in college since my writing skills are poor. XD It's not partly my fault (yeah, but partly it is).

I think I have everything I need for my lecture 'cept my sanity and constant stuttering (sp), blushing, and foot stomping (I do that when I'm nervous). -__- don't pity me just yet. I checked out my SAT scores online and it looks like I did better, yes, I did better by only ten points. It's so sad!!! I thought I was going to get that score in my head and I did!!! I did better on the verbal, finally, and twenty points worse on the math. Now I will have to use the cds I was given to study and take it for the third time. Remember that third time's a charm. I wish, if only. Hey, it worked for sequential 2 where I supposedly got a 94 on the regents.

Today, on the other hand, was the Stuyvesant test. My brother knows he got into Bronx Science. He says it was easy. I stood with my mom and another parent-friend as we waited until 4 something, not 2:45, as we were told. All in all, I learned that the faculty and student body in my brother's school is awful.

Ah, good news, I finally downloaded the opening to Weiss Kreuz Gluhen. The clarity was wonderful, I must say. The opening was amazing and the quality of the animation got so much better. I cannot download the eps because I have to wait for the subs to arrive in Chinatown so I can purchase them. And I wish I could have, but alas this comp is going to be shut down permanently around January. Maybe next year, when the DVDs might arrive in Chinatown, too, I will be able to buy them knowing I have a competent X-box at home.

I turned on the TV and heard a report that last November's tape of OBL says that Australia's an enemy of Islam. Oh dear God...how can you say that? You're not a religious person for saying it nor are you proving anything on your ignorance of your own religion. Plus you're giving Islam a bad name. Seriously...causing discrimination everywhere. Humans can be so stupid sometimes. It's in their nature to, though.

The Russian hostages are out but with much consequence. I believe another strike will occur in Russia. The Chechen rebels aren't going to be silenced and oppressed for long. I pray casualities even graver as this would not occur. I worry for my relatives who live in the country. It's really frightening. I'm glad I live in the US and not in Russia. Where else? Maybe New Zealand won't be safe either. Iceland-ho! Heh, well, throughout the whole broadcast I was commenting on the translation of Russia. Whee~~HTB!! I miss Russian TV. Yah, I have nothing better to do so I write meaningless nothings to take up more space.

Speaking of meaningless nothings, my brother wants to cosplay for Halloween and asked me who he looks like. It's not who, but what he wants to go as. He says it's preferably some one his classmates don't know. Speaking of cosplay, I really need to know where I can get the Subaru outfit...that white robed one. Not for cosplay, but just to wear at home and scare my friends on occasion. Then again, I could manage to pull of Kamui-kun. Angsty uke clad in boys' uniform, yum^_^

She did WHAT to my Tenchi Forever?!! I'm so distraught over this. And I will not be getting a new one in about two weeks. But I think I don't mind it that much. I really don't. And...who's she? A friend. ^_^

The problem I have with GeorgexMarie Louise is the age difference. Marie Louise looks like a child and almost acts like a child. Then I turn to the unlikely pair created by fandom of DomonxGeorge which can work, but I will not go into that because I think George deserves a woman. No, I seriously do. Previously I have condemned his female acquaintance and now I believe if she will have a growth spurt(sp) things can work out between them. In the end, the kiss scene was so sweet^__^!!! Ah, moving on...

My otouto's friends visited the apartment and I gave away tapes and my very first artbook: Gundam Wing as well as a few posters. I can't believe times have come to this. But, really, the kid was willing to pay for it, and I am just that nice to tell him it's for free when I can really make money off of selling this stuff. These two boys are still on DBZ because of the new episodes. And, by my own phase of "I've grown sick of it already," brought out my Japanese Newtype with Gundam Seed on the cover and a Rurouni Kenshin artbook proclaiming to the world that there are so many more series out there. And...I gave one another Saiyuki tape^_^. Upon returning the first before he told me he likes Son Goku. Kudos to you too.

Isn't this cute? The layout is so adorable. I must get the site's address. This layout was done by the very talented Annie for our club on Asian Avenue. It's a shounen-ai club, but no one pays mind to that at all. They just join at will. Seriously, there are so many anime clubs out there on AA, I've grown sick of it, and the other members have not, apparently, and so they joined as many as they could to show their obsession. -__-;; Let's hope there will remain a variety amoung those in the US primarily exposed to Cartoon Network, Fox, etc.

Religion class is oh so much fun. We watched a video on Zen Buddhism, partly, with some elements of that in Japan. I think I saw the Temple of the Golden Pavilion (!!!) of Kyoto. I'm unsure that it's there, but...it reminded me of it. Ikebana, archery, tea ceremony, meditation, and martial arts were shown. A classmate was too busy giggling about how the archery dress reminded her of Yukito. I thought of Touya and Alice 19th. I loved the kendo matches. I have to try that sometime. Anyway, a girl blurted out how Japan was like Chinatown and I proceeded to hurt myself as from shoulders up did my body fall to the desk. Then I muttered curses under my breath and was satisfied. This is the ninth ignorant comment stated so far this year....no, wait, there are ten in all because of this girl's poor knowledge of the news with regards to the whole Moscow/Chechniya ordeal and how the religion teacher told her, not to be rude, but she should have learned this by now. No DUH.

Mmm...I have to give a lecture on the Anglo-Saxon literary time period on Monday. Crud. ^_^;;

It was a strange week. One, I'm thankful the suspects have been caught for the whole sniper investigation. I stayed up very late to watch CNN with my mom and brother. There is also a report of some East Side rifle-carrying-gunman and my mom thought it was safe for my otouto and I to stay home ('cause she doesn't want to take any risks). It really is frightening if you think about it.

Rei-chan's back!!!!!!!!! Ya~~~~ho, not yahoo. Her comp died and now she has a new one^_^ lucky. Tomorrow I will have to stay afterschool, if it holds to my interest, due to a birthday celebration of those who had their tanjoubis in this month and the previous. It reminds me of IPS, though. o.O;; Speaking of that, I filed papers alphabetically and had tea to end my day yesterday.

I should be making myself lunch and washing the mountain of dishes right about now...

Testing...testing...

I have spent an hour on this very easy to make layout. I said I will put it up around Halloween, but I just couldn't wait. Plus with the continued growth of my obsession with G Gundam, this layout just had to be up before my comp finally decides to crash.

Today was more or less all right. I was in the subway and thought I saw a Seki clone right next to me. How unlikely it is that it could be him. I know it's not, but it felt like it. I was nervous, turning red, happily getting off the next with the thought of almost touching not!Seki. So, it's completely frustrating. How I wish to meet him. Ah, maybe he can be a seiyuu for a chara from my series, chu? No, actually I know a person who should meet him even more than I.

My kaasan wants me to steer away from being a manga-ka. She wants me to sure that I will be in a job that puts food on my plate. Maybe I'll work in Japanese translation in the future, TokyoPop, any one? But NOT A DIPLOMAT!! I nearly cried, seriously, in government class, as the tv was singing about an illegal immigrant named Maria. But my dream is to be a manga artist. I recently have been upset by lack of originality in some shows, especially in America where villains just have no class whatsoever. No, I don't think I am comparing them to Sei-chan, but they are pathetic, the villains, that is.

Mou.....Cassie saw Spirited Away!! I am so happy there is a strong sense of devotion for Domon and George, but not Chibodee! Poor Chibodee, the rep of New America needs a hug. How about four? ^_^ Oh, the two did not know who Wong was for a sec until it came down to simple features and of course: the chair.

Ashley: Is he the one with the chair? He's mean!

Like I said, Wong is EVIL!!!!
