The hilarity of the following situation is just...well, well, here we go:

This morning, about 17 packages, small boxes, were discovered in the bathroom and I mean, INSIDE the toilet. Inside the neatly wrapped packaging that had teacher's names was an animal; either a white mouse, bird, or snake. One bird died because it drowned inside the toilet. Animal control was called in and the animals were removed. One casualty reported.

Rumor has it a group of seniors did it. I'm a senior, I didn't think it was the senior class, hell, every one thought the freshman, sophomores, or juniors did it since they have behavior issues, but...

...but no, it is rumored that the perpetrators came clean in their confession. I would just like to know who and why and then go on my merry way. This has to be one of the best/worst (can't decide) stunts the school has ever seen. My friend's senior prank was setting a chicken loose in school, but this act is not a senior prank, first of all. I still find it humorous and yet shameful.

Got my report card today too with an 88.000 average printed on it and a second honors certificate^.^. 'bout time. I still don't know how I pulled off an 82 in Engrish class. A 95 on the religion exam shocked me! I thought I received a much lower grade seeing as I was hesitant on many of the questions.

Random note~~~~> Mi-chan printed out pictures of PoT from the chibi episode. And she waited to show me this until lunch time? Shame on you!

Right now, quizzie!

Editediteditedit! Okay, I think I was wrong on the order of the seiyuu. Miki comes first and then Seki. Heh heh, gomen, gomen! It's sometimes quite hard to tell. (What? That was Seki singing those parts in Naked Mind?)

Valentine's Day is nothing but a big blah. The student council is asking for .50 per candy bag. >.>;; I'm getting two, just to let you know, and that's all the school is going to get from me. I hope I get two in return. But in terms of rabu-rabu, I have Fujimiya Ran-kun to blush over as I watch WK OAVs 1 and 2 (and like I said before, since it's VCR format, it's going to be loud).

Nya...more threats and subway bombs? I'm taking the bus home now. Seriously, I will start packing a bag! I don't want to live under some threat and just want to be prepared and I hope I'm not making people worry over me. Nope...

ANYWAY, my service site's fine. A young girl said she wanted me to come play with her at her home. #^___^# I think I should stop asking these young 2/3 yr olds for hugs.

Bean bags anyone?

RE: [WKML] Question...Naked Mind Song

Last q I can answer! I don't agree! The order in which Beautiful Mind is being sung is Koyasu, SEKI, THEN Miki, and finally Hiro. I *know* that was Seki first and then Miki^.^ I've listened to it thousands and hundreds of times before.

Good news desu yo~~~! I made 2nd honors. I haven't since 10th grade. It's a coincidence or is it irony that I thought of receiving it and thanking the academy before I heard this. My friend told me after hearing of it that my face looked like I got an OSCAR. Weird, ne? Just my luck, too. My Engrish teacher was absent today and I had a physics test in which I got 100% on! Sorekara, I left early and had a yummy dinner. >3 Nastya feels all better, yes she does.

Finally confirmed, Evangelion will be shown during 'Robot Week' on Cartoon Network. I saw Eva-01 on TV ^_^.

I bought Wish 4!! I was expecting a terrible ending, but with Shuichirou's death~~kya, unexpected. I didn't mind the new Shuichirou to be with Kohaku; he's a cute kid. Then again it still annoys me that Hisui is addressed as "Madam" but he looks too feminine.

I saw Chicago today. I felt like singing and dancing, lol, and I was waiting to see Richard Gere tapdance since my mother has been going on and on about it. Hm, overall, it was all right, not that good, but it was okay.

Mmm...nya, now to why my mailbox has been full: Weiss Kreuz Gluhen's designs for Schwarz.
Crawford: a complete, total change. I can't get used to him like that. I LIKED the new Gluhen designs of Weiss, though. Crawford's a cross between Treize and Dorothy most definitely. I can't say this is the Brad I knew from the OAV.
Schuldich: He still reminds me of the old one XD. Evil outfit though...
Nagi: Reminds me of Trowa, but still looks good. *shrug* whatever. Lol, yeah, that's the right attitude!

I added Annie-chan to my reads. Finally~~~!

*twitch* Of course the yelling and screeching escalated to my mother telling my brother: you will cry next weekend. My ears, damn it! Then my mother replied to me by saying: I don't care. >.>;;; It's funny how she just fights with me over the simplest things and then forgets them as if nothing happened. *shudders*

I can't really ignore the sudden threat of an attack on the US. Hell, I'm living in close-to-quite fear. I don't want to die from a biological attack or anything related to war, but naturally (and the souls who wish this really want it). The threats the radicals make are so nationalistic, so utterly farfetched that cannot be made. A whole country can't turn upside down because of it. But the Americans *have* stop persuading other countries in joining them like that because as Germany showed, it's not coming their way. Yes, Europe has been through MANY wars and this isn't the time to actually go in just like that. Just like what? Just so forcefully on something that seems vague. It's not like they're "wimps," but the Western world does not want to go into war ('cept Bush and Blair's wonderful decisions*sarcasm*).

Hmph, I was out the whole day actually and not as cold. The day quickly got better as my otouto invited two of his friends who are likely to come next saturday as well. I shouldn't intervene with the fun they're having (as they continue not to call me by my name), but...bleh.

I added a link~~~^^~~~and I'll prolly put up some PoT adoptions soon.

The worst thing to hear in the evening is my brother and mother on the same couch yelling at each other and my brother is literally screeching. He screams like a girl (taken in particular to no one's offense, but...). This day seemed to have loads of holes for me. I forgot a question on the psychology quiz and I completely got John mixed up with St. Augustin. The notes on that quiz were a paragraph. -__-;;

C-chan called and I must say I apologize for the cussing. It was improper of me to when my brother kept on telling me to hang up. *blush* Ne, it's flattering when she tells me to write more! Quite flattering, I must say.

Next on my TO WATCH list is Mirage of Blaze. I hope it's enjoyable. AS IS .hack//sign, but so far it looks like there's no hope for it (well, I'll first have to see it then).

I have to buy PoT DVDs in Chinatown as well as WK Gluhen. So far, I've been looking through Gluhen screencaps and have seen the first three volumes of PoT however, my TV has a problem with playing tapes. The volume cannot be changed and it's loud! >.>;;Loud, loud, my ears hurt from the girly screeching and laughing!!!

You're the Average Fangirl. You like stuff, but
not to the point where people want to kill you.

What Kind of Fangirl are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Yeah...it actually depends...that and I'm shy when it comes to facing the obsession like seiyuu for example, but besides the point of making a good first impression, I finally was able to watch PoT volumes 2 and 3 (yes, I know I'm behind in the eps and I don't have broadband). The Hard Day was hilarious!! Damn you, Tezuka, for being so uptight. Inui's comment on looking so damn cold was funny! That, and Inui's juice, and Kaidou's "fushuu!"

I wonder if some one like Tomoka were around cheering me on, would I be extremely pissed off, flattered, or both?

What really kept me watching Zoids was partly because of the crisp and clear animation and the chara designs. Of course there is a big difference in the overall show between Chaotic Century and the other one which was cancelled (and by that one I refer to Bit's crew, so to speak). It was particularly to the end of the series when Raven's puberty hadn't taken effect and the obvious return of Urvine (UrvinexVan fan!) that it hit me why such a series would become a hit. As the whole war conflict and zoid battles continue, I thought this was just another robot-type show, just another remake that gets brought up with the same constant themes as Happy Lesson seemed to be a spin off of Tenchi Muyo in a way. But really, if you think about their situations and you let your thoughts go and further sink into the show you might realize that certain series let you feel their emotions and in turn you have a bond with the show (that and slash, but back to the idea here)and I have to make it clear that this refers to some people myself included. And how this ties in with the beginning of the paragraph? Just another war story might as well let you see something deeper that's unique.

All in short, this is a form of entertainment some adults and even children dislike for the many stereotypes it sets off. I was upset when in a Japanese essay book, an American man said all manga is pornography and it just being a kids' show. Network censors in America must be too sensitive about shows and many haven't even heard of most titles. My mother read in the NY Times that the majority of teens in the US still busy themselves with DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh (which are holding its popularity) and yet people are missing the better shows out there. Just thinking of DBZ makes me feel ill because of its eager fanbase in the US, but not Fruits Basket for example.

This brings me once again to another point that was mentioned at school today: assumption. You can never truely understand a person unless you cling to them and even then it's at times hard to actually say: "I know what he/she will do because..." But based on words and phrases and images, you can tap into the outer shell and not the core. That's the same with many forms of entertainment and people naturally tend to do this with many other things.

So bear with me because I really needed something to write in my blog^___^. That and I want the International Channel hooked up to my cable to see subbed Houshin Engi and actually get around to watching Slayers.

Akito

Which Fruits Basket (Furuba) Character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

As much as many people hold a certain hate for Akito, I can't help but want to huggle him. At times I feel sorry for him. I wonder if people can picture themselves in his position, but actually the way he treated the rest of the juunishi might have been the way I would administer if I were him. *shrug*

My brother's friends came over to play his Xbox. I was invited to join in on the killing spree which didn't turn out so bad. I thought I would feel left out from the group, but in reality it was most entertaining. These 13/14 year olds are a bit tall for their age making my brother look so young. This one especially made me think of Asahina from HJ although I'd doubt I'll develop a shota complex (it's best not to think of that, actually...). My mother began telling me how much she doesn't like the kid's family...and geez, I understand her worry, but I won't be going anywhere far from this point.

On TV: this just in! Teamo Supremo's archenemy is a tour guide lady gone bad!!! ~.~;;;;; With such a force, the world will crawl beneath her feet and all terror will break loose.

I bought a book on George III this evening. I think it was what my classmate said in her presentation on the Romanticism period of English history: he died blind, deaf, and insane. I find it to be very amusing so far, actually. Worth the read. I just can't imagine ever bearing 15 children (and not that this is related to George III, seeing as he had about 7).

And just for fun, this is what my mother sent me:

Words to Live by

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
6. No one is listening until you fart.
7. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
13. If you lend someone and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are a windshield.
16. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
25. We are born naked, wet, and hungry, and get slapped on our ass...then things get worse.
26. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
27. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
28. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
29. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday...around age 11.
30. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
