enlightenment v.02 Fade to Black

On a nice, rainy Sunday evening there's nothing more fun that listening to Laruku while reading misc stuff and fics and drinking green tea. I feel like a granny ^_^;

Really, L'arc en Ciel's songs are so nice and optimistic (even 'all dead') and it's a nice change from what I usually listen. And I simply adore Hyde's Engrish. So cute!! I have to read the lyrics to understand what he's singing though^^;

I signed the petition with another e-mail adress and got very nicely surprised by it's number. When I signed it for the first time I was 2800th. Now it's over 14500 - ^__^

And a propos Ff.net. While checking the anime section (it grows in titles very fast) I found Hikaru no Go ones. Saa... The thing that disturbed me though was that they almost all were yaoi. Well, ok, but I don't like the thought about HikaGo yaoi. I just can't imagine it there. Hikaru x Akira? No, nononononononono! It's something similar to Shaoran x Eriol. Blah. So I don't like things close to shota (But no matter what I want and will get Stigma) And BTW, writing a HikaGo fic is extremely hard to keep it all IC. In other words it should be Go-centric and possibly contain a game. Not Go-centric fic is OOC. To add a Go game in a fic is hard though. I hoped to find some WAFFy Sai fic, but found none :(

And GW is tiring me. It's really boring and mecha^^;. Well, at least Zechs took off his idiotic mask, he he. I'm also wondering if there is a Wufei-centric scene not including word 'weak' ^^; He's such a psycho. Honestly I laugh all time while watching it. The show is so serious and dramatic that it's funny instead.

Joy-san said exactly what I would about Naruto. Exactly. In other words I can't wait to watch it.

I bought another nail polish today. This one is special because it needs only one layer to look perfect and dries very fast. I'm kind of obsessed about nail polishes - own about 68; including colors like green, blue and yellow, which I never used and never will, because it would look yucky IMHO. I got them as presents anyway.

And I started to read Hellsing fanfics yesterday. Weird.
The weather outside is perfect for me (12C and kinda rainy) and I'm in a very happy mood ^_____^

You know what, today is September 13th, the date when Second Impact had taken place (<-I mean I know that Ff.net has started to work yesterday, but because of different time zones I found out about the changes today).Maybe it's the reason of this whole Ff.net actions ^_~

I signed a petition about Ff.net. I know that it may be pointless, but signing it made *me* feel like I did something in this matter. I suggest other people signing it too. We have to fight for freedom of fanfics *dramatic music in the background*!

Friday, September 13, 2002

Should I be happy that Ff.net if back? No? Definately no! First, their note about no longer accepting NC-17 fics, and second, as usual, I felt sick looking at Saiyuuki section ;_;
The fics there were nice, good or even better... once. Adventures, homor, angst, yaoi, and it should stay that way. Then came the MS-era. Again I ask: what's wrong with the people??? Is Saiyuuki fandom only capable of coming up with a RandomSaiyuukiCharacter x MS? Gods, even Kougaiji!! *Kougaiji*!!
OK, lets just say that if I see a Nii x MS *shrugs at the very thought of it* I'll quit the fandom. Oh, the horror! Oh the OOCness!

And a thought: authors surely read the fics posted by other authors. So, I ask, why didn't they get the point of a MS-parody? It was a hint for all authors to really think thrice before posting/writing a MS and, as a result of such thinking DON'T post it (<-at least I perceive it that way). So, assuming that they've all read it - they either are brainless (<-most probably) and had fun reading it (not getting the hints) as another humor fic, or, I don't know, they want to start a war or sth? They are so desperately in love with a character and they want to give vent to their feelings (THAT is a reason for writing EVERY mary sue. THAT is why they are all PATHETIC)? It's sad, really. Oh no, wait, they'll surely hear in the reviews that "it's the best Saiyuki fic I read". And this may be the cause of multiplying MSs. So I shrug, shrug, SHRUG!!! You immature 13-year olds, you!! *walks off mumbling obscenities*

I guess I'll just save the url for Mihatenu Yume (aka The_Gratest_Fic_Ever) and will be checking for updates. Why does The_Gratest_Fic_Ever have to be posted on a place like Ff.net??

Agrh! Writing about not_nice stuff is
a) not_nice
b) annoys and exasperates me.
Again, why should I care? It's not like I *have* to read all those fics (but their descriptions are enough to write about), and you'll see, I won't read them. HA!

I. Am. Calm.

So as a change of subject ^0^
Some people are wondering why do I like shounen manga. Well, That is one of the reasons why. Shounen manga usually contains Bishounen, and a special kind of them. So, I really have to get KaMiKaZe manga *.*
I would write other reasons for liking (and not liking) shounen, but they'll be probably stupid. For example I don't like shounen for it's lack of flowery background. You can laugh but I like flowery backgrounds and shoujo love bubbles!! They are so cute *.*
Me wants KaMiKaZeee~~~~!! Ehehe...

Wheee~~! I found Saiyuuki sprites! I also posted Hellsing and Trigun ones along with K and Katou ^_^
I'm considering making Ashram one all by myself, because no matter how hard I look for it, I find none. This would be funny because I have absolutely no experience in doing chibis. Saa...

And, call me slow, I've just discovered the existence of 53 and UkeSanzou MLs!!! And of course promptly joined them ^0^
Searching furhter on YahooGroups I spotted a funny thing: 'Saiyuki' ML has 740 members while 'Saiyuki Yaoi' has 1001 ^__^ Heee...

There was something extremely wrong with the e-mail adress listed on this blog as the main one. In other words it stopped working. So I posted another which is also one of the main^^. Blah, I hate it when a decent e-mail adress dies *coughanimenationcough*, so I hope that the trusty Yahoo ones I use won't uhm, somehow expire.

I also am slowly adding new things to my bloggie. The (literally) beautiful kanji, green tea logo and some cliques that most of them is still waiting to be added.
I want adoptees! But I've decided that the first ones I have will be Saiyuuki ones or Ashram-sama. Saa. I could adopt Saiyuuki guys from here like most of people, but my Compy-chan doesn't display the font that is used there thus I have no idea how to subscribe reading incomprehensible little signs -_-;;;. And I want a Sai one that there also is!! Sai~~~!!
I found adoptions from other anime series but I don't want them to be first *sigh*.

I'M SERIOUSLY SEARCHING FOR AN ASHRAM ADOPTION !

ehehee..
Some RL news. I've just made myself a *very* yummy sandwich. I experimented a little with the ingredients and am very content with the result ^_^
And there is Blur - Song2 on Mtv2 right now ^0^ My all time Blur favourite - YAY!

JJ72 - Formulae is one of those songs which are so extremely energetic that even if I'm tired, sleepy or not in a good mood they cheer me up and restore my genkiness. The other ones are P.O.D. - Alive and A - Nothing. I can't help but sing with them. These 3 songs are really like a good cup of coffe for me.

And while I'm on song topic. What is it with the new Puddle of Mud? That song ('she hates me') has a very random melody and overall I find it not interesting, yet it keeps flowing inside my head all the time and I often find myself humming "she f***ing hates me" in different places. Somebody help me ;_;

I added K to my list of bishounen. WHY DIDN'T I DO IT EARLIER??
K is the sweetest, coolest and my absolutely favourite one from Gravitation. I even copy sometimes his hairstyle ^0^ - my hair are almost as long as his. But more often my hair, if tied (I don't like it tied basically. Ah, well) are something like Sai's or Pirotess' hairstyle - tied at the end. Only they're not that long -_-;;. So it looks more like the way that Kouji Nanjo (from Zetsuai/Bronze) once had them tied. Saa...

My Daaku Kauntaa doesn't work ;_;. But thanks to other counters I have I'm able to tell what number should be on it now (it would require some counting though - and I'm too lazy to do it now plus I always hated maths).

And another brilliant thought. I mentioned imageninig Shigure (Okiayu Ryoutarou) saying "Mistaa Yuki" before. But there could be also Kyou (Seki Tomokazu) saying "Yuki, Yuki, Yuki, Yuki!!" ^_____^
Yay, mixing Gravitation and Fruits Basket seiyuu ^_^.

Hmm, I haven't written much about Saiyuki recently. That's scary. I checked Koji-san's Saiyuki scans (<-Sankyuu). As always the same thoughts that I seem to repeat: "I wan't a Zero Sum", "God, Minekura-sensei is *such* a genius', "kyaa, Saiyuki boys!" and so ^___^
Looking at new Saiyuki pictures (that aren't in my collection yet) always and puts me in a "Kyaaa~~" mood^^.

Warning: It. Is. Long.
I'M BACK!!

I'm just back from my first convention ^_____^
One thing that it made me realize (among some other mentioned further): how deeply I am Net-addicted -_-. In other words I haven't seen my Compy-chan since Friday *shrugs* - meaning that for maintaining my doubtfully existing sanity I must be online at_least once a day.

About the con. My sister decided not to go (and a '>:P' for her) so I went there alone. It was fun though. Among all the people gathered there firstly I new only one person -_-;;
The worst and most frightening thing for me was to get up at 4.45 a.m.to go there. Evil. Anyway I somehow managed to get to the station (missed the bus and as a result I had to run there. *Only* 4 bus stops away.) just when the train was arriving. And I was half-aware of what's happening around me due to the morning hurry and thus lack of Coffee-sama ;_;. After I arrived I searched for a decent bus stop to get to the other part of the city. Found one after 45 minutes (Did I mention that I am in some ways like Ryoga?). Blah, blah, but I got there somehow.

And I got very dissapointed about the stuff sold there. I was prepared for at least buying some manga. But the only ones sold there were the first volumes of Angel Sanctuary (<-I already *have* those), DNA2, Slayers, Ranma and Zetsuai. So I did't buy ANYTHING. In the evening I seriously wished I'd bought that Zetsuai. Blargh.

And... I've failed. There was no Saiyuki Requiem. To be exact the only one who knew about it's (Saiyuki's) existence was... me *major sweatdrop*. But I'll get that movie anyway.

The anime shown there was at least decent ^^. Meaning that I don't regret spending money on the journey. First of all I got to watch ALL episodes of

HELLSING!!!

Kyaaaa~~~~!!! Now that was something. The most important thing was one of the rooms where they aired anime. Almost like in a cinema. BIG screen, perfect sound, and all in the darkness *.*
I spent there most of the time. And airing all episodes of Hellsing one after another for 5 hours in the night in that room... kyaaa. OK, now about the title ^_^:
I knew Hellsing from 3 volumes of manga and one episode of anime on my Compy-chan (mentioned before how frustrating it is to watch anime on it). And after all eps in that atmosphere... one word: Aakaado.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! *.*
I have a question for the world: Is there a girl who would refuse his proposal of drinking his blood?
I'm sure that there isn't. With that atmosphere and the charm of Hellsing (that sounded, stupid, I know) when Aakaado said "do you want to come with me?" I had an urge to get up saying "yes, Master" and walk up to the screen ^^;;;;;;;;;;;. Kya, kya, kya..
And (even though I said it before) Integral is the only female anime character thet I like. She's so cool, oh how I adore Integral ^^
You must agree with me that in the anime world there aren't many likable female characters. I may say that I also like Pirotess, because from all the Lodoss characters she was the only one who saw the *thruth*. Other than that, she isn't a complicated and developed character enough. And Integral, though obsessed about Hellsing, is too cool not to like her ^_^.

I didn't like the ending though. It was cool, but I don't like when something ends that way and makes me scream 'Nooo! More, damnit!'. Hmph ^^;
One thought: If Hellsing was a live action movie, I would never watch it. The theme of blood, zombies and vampires is (delicately said) too common and explored in movies and stuff. And, damn, if it was a live action movie I seriously doubt whether there was Nakata Jouji speaking! And his voice flowing from the speakers and filling the whole room was enough to die from the drool deficiency. I imagined how I would act if there was Toshihiko-sama speaking. Simply put, I'd faint ^0^

Unfortunately there *was* Toshihiko-sama speaking in that room (Pet Shop of Horrors) but at 3 a.m. and I didn't make it ;_;. I mean I *wanted* to watch it (only first episode though, and I watched that one at home already), but Hellsing ended at 1 am, and that was two hours away, during which they aired *twitch* sen to chihiro no kamikakushi(<-or whatever it's spelled),*twitch* and golden boy *twitch*. And Astarise HATES all that is miyazaki. And ecchi. Honestly I'd even preffer hentais than ecchi.
So I went to sleep hoping to wake up after two hours *yeahright*. In the mornig I was hearing a faint sound of the blessed language coming from the room next to the sleeping one. I woke with a start hearing "Konyanyachiwa" ^_______^. And it was already 7!(and I rushed to watch CCS even though I've already seen it before) So, I missed not only PSoH but also Berserk, which I hoped watching too *pouts*.

Bu~~t, *finally* I watched (dum dum dum)
MIRAGE OF BLAZE!!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!! Yay, yay, yay ^0^
Unfortunately it wasn't aired in that dreamy room but in a simplier one with a tv. Anyway I waited bravely to watch it, and went to that room earlier (not o be late) and survived 10 minutes of *shrugs* saber marionette. The room was filled with ppl and I sat in the back (thanks to my Compy-chan I'm *very* short-sighted but don't wear glasses), 5 meters from the tv, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't read the subs (and had problems with animation). Not like I wanted to watch some hideous thing like that! While they all laughed I was reading the programme very_ostentatiously and didn't even bother to look at the tv. When the stupid show ended they *all* left. ALL. I was alone there watching Mirage of Blaze (I moved closer to be a meter away from the tv). Kyaaaaaa~~~~~. Oh how I longed to watch it. First of all... the seiyuu. Geez! 2 main bishounen had Saki Toshihiko and Hayami Shou voicing them. That is enough to convince me to watch *everything* with them (even if it was miyazaki or an ecchi ;P)

I was interested in MoB for a long time. It is a really cool thing. I don't know if there is a manga though - about the novels I know. And about the fact that in the later episodes there is a bishie who is IMO a cross between (!) Ashram and Lantis. Anyway, drool.
I watched 3 eps and have 4th at home. Must get more..

Ok, hmm, oh I also watched some .hack//sign. My opinion: o.O. It had a great soundtrack though. About the characters. I really wish I could take that axe away from 'Subaru' and cut her to pieces. She was so disturbing. And that name *certainly* didn't suit her, plus the way she was dressed *shrugs*. Bleah. And I'm overall confused with that anime and the Gainax-like chara design. I liked it only with EVA.

I'm mad that I didn't buy anything. But there wasn't anything even close to call worthy buying ;_;. And it was a small convention. About 200 ppl. And there was no cosplay. Beh. But I met a few interesting people and generally liked it.

And Hellsing *.* (<-there was a guy who I could swear was voiced by Okiayu Ryoutarou. I was right ^^. BTW, I found a great K shrine. Wai~! I want Gravitation mangaaaaaa!!!)

End of con rant.

I was linked by Nadia-san and Akarui-san. Sankyuu *bows* ^0^.
And I'm tired of that writing. I love Fruits Basket!!

It's been a week since I did a new layout and archived the earlier entries and I just realized how much did I wrote that week. I need to have a life, a school or sth like that...

Today I forgot to plug in the phone in the living room (it's turned off at night) and thus the only one working was the one in the bathroom. While watching Furuba I heard a very faint ring, and raced to answered the phone. If anyone wondered, the way from my Compy-chan to the bathroom is kind of long. So I jumped there very fast and didn't notice the old typing machine (the @#$%^& thing weights 10kg o more) lying on the floor in order to be taken out to the basement. So of course I tripped over it and running at a great speed (the phone still rang) I couldn't stop (after tripping) and... hit the wall. Anime-style. Only it wasn't a flat wall but the sharp corner of it. Miracle was that I managed to answer the phone.

I'm still dizzy; I hit my head hard and have my foot, knee and shoulder bruised. Yokatta that I was home alone, because the whole incident must have looked utterly ridiculous. Silly me.

Hmm, with all my free tim at the maximum, I forgot to write sth yesterday. Beh, fortunately it's never been said anywhere that I should write everyday.

Anyway, I watched some anime. First my frustation with GW: it's a military-mecha shounen (gasp)! Gah! Exactly the opposite of what I like. And Gundams are utterly ugly and designed without any taste (I'm on ep4. From what I know they'll change eventually because people drool over Deathscythe Hell) and they should have 'transformers' written on their foreheads. And Relena. And the less-making-me-faint-while-hearing version of Toshihiko's voice. Agh! Will I make it? Will I watch every episode untill the end? Will Heero finally kiss Duo? Will Relena be alive at the end? Will I find my watch which I lost probably yesterday? Tune in next time to find out as I rant more about useless things and anime.

In this state of me being discontent there's nothing better than a WAFFy shoujo romance. In other words: Astarise's just discovered the magic of Fruits Basket! Yay, Furuba, Furuba, Furuba!!

And while on that topic: some seiyuu discoveries.
Shigure rocks! Waii~, Shi-chan, Shi-chan, Shi-chan!!
Ekhm. When I first heard him speaking I got hit by deja vu (Sanzou-looking Deja Vu with a harisen: Shineee! *thwack*. Me: @_@...) I heard that guy before! And what do you know, it turned out to be the voice of the and ultimate one and only K from Gravi. K~~~~!!!(loved the snaiper scene *giggle*)
Only without that fantastic accent. I just couldn't help imagening Shigure saying 'Mistaa Yuki'. Heeeee XDDDD.

And while checkig the seiyuu list I've found out that Yuki's (the Eiri one) voice (Inoue Kazuhiko. Drool) is also Hatori's. Wai!
I've been reading two volumes of Furuba manga (not mine unfortunately) some time ago and didn't realize that Kyou (is sweet BTW) has orange hair. Dear Kanzeon Bosatsu! He looks EXACTLY like Ichigo O.O!! And Yuki in a mouse form. Eeeeeeee, he's so cute ^_^!! I want to have such mouse (I have a bigger kind of mouse at home though. A guinea pig named Adolf (Adorufu). Now HE is the cutest rodent I've known ^___^)!
But I have only 20 eps [here insert Pedro-from-Excel-Saga's dramatic "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!"] with the fifth having only a minute and I can't find ep nine (messy me). Heh, but what are conventions for after all >:)

A change of subject:
This person writes in the 'anime' section "gensou maiden saiyuuki" XDDDDDDDDDD I'm not even going to think about how would that title sound if translated.
Hee~. Good one, ne?

*Sings* 'Dead leaves ane the dirty ground when I know you're not around..' <- love that song^^.

Ahh~ i'ts such a nice morning, I feel like typing ^__^ (talkative little creature, ne?) Actually I'm talkative only when I write. When I chat online I write very fast (my fingers hurt after ;_;) and at least 2 times more that the person I'm talking to ^0^.

Believe it or not, I've never seen Gundam Wing before :P. Now it's aired on tv - I watched ep2 yesterday (forgot about #1) because I thought that I basically should know sth about anime that is one of the most popular ones (well BASICALLY I know what it's about). Beh - IMHO sucky plot. And *mechas*. I find mechas *extremely* boring (but not as boring as football matches. Mechas are at least Japanese XDD) - of course EVAs excluded ^0^

But after all I can watch GW for free and it has Duo speaking in in (If Seki-virus was real, I'd be long since dead. SEKI~~~~~~ *.*). But I don't know if I last those 40 episodes aired _every_day_.
Funny thing is that I got so biased by Net anime fandom (in general) by reaing people's opinions (*cough* and doujinshis) that I somehow had expected a hardcore yaoi XD XD XD. I got dissapointed :P.

An afterword about the questionnaire I posted a long time ago. If anyone wondered, the idea and the questions weren't mine. I found it a long time ago on some blog and deleted a few questions. And Thanks to my haphazard character of course I found only today that I lacked a few numbers and ended on 69 (not intended).
I wouldn't ask 'do you like cartoons' if I were to ask questions. Anime. A-n-i-m-e. I hate it when somebody mistakes those two.

But there was a funny episode of Dexter's Lab once - a little anime-parody. Dexter met Japanese students with anime-style pink and blue hair and it all ended with a mecha show ^0^. I haven't seen DL for ages though...

And I read some fics on ff.net. A nice 58 and even nicer KenrenxTenpou (<-I love that kind of fics. Ones I have to read twice to understand ;), 9th chapter of Shadows Beyond (oh the evil of cliffhangers! Aghhh!! >.<), and what I think should start a storm soon - SanzouxMary Sue. *Literally SanzouxMary Sue*. I've written all my hate for MSs before so I'll just wait *twitch* calmly and see *twitch* the reactions. This seemes to be *the first* such fic *shrugs*. Yuck, yuck, yuck, YUCK!!

And: Waaaa~~~~~ii! I've just found out that my national manga online shop has been updaa~ted and has Backgammon 2 *.* as well as Saiyuki dvds, soundtracks, posters and German manga *.*!! I'll order, I'll order ^__^. I'm already broke now, but meeeeeeeeh, I'll do it in a few months. I should really start a job *nodnod*.

Visiting Russian anime sites (it's *so* fun I tell you) and finding of course nothing about Saiyuuki I came up with a title (due to the cyrylic alphabet Russians translate all anime titles and they are sometimes sound so funny) for it: �� - �� . Sound sweet, ne? Yay, me ^^;;;;

Hi~~! Thanks for mentioning that something's wrong with the coding. Hmm.. I made this layout on 800x600 and it looks perfect on my Compy-chan. Gotta go to a nearby cafe to check how it looks on other resolutions. I'm not familiar with html much and it's a miracle it all works >.<

Well, finally my Net is back(<-I've been waiting all morning)! It's a strange thing - every Monday morning I'm mysteriously disconnected >.<
And I have cable connection, so it should be permanent, damnit!

Anyway my sister has started to go to school and this month I'll have peace and quiet until 3p.m. ^o^ I love to be home alone! I can dance and sing aloud and get drunk with green tea (with me it IS possible. If I overdose of course)^0^. So I'm nicely genki today. And:

You are a solumn, stubborn, calm and quiet person who displays attraction towards hyper and genki people. You tend to hide your inner and true feelings and prefer to use verbal irony instead of being direct. You are good at what you do but when it comes to love, you couldn't be less clueless. XD

Random thoughts

Whenever I hear P.O.D.'s "youth of the nation" I think that the guy sings "Yuuto - the nation" ^_^;; Yuuto is my favourite X character - second is Shougo but that's a bit obvious *coughseiyuucough*. Anyway, I'm not an X fangirl, nver read any fic about Clamp series. I just read the manga ^^;;. My sister on the other hand is a die-hard Clamp fan.

Mtv2 starts to bug me. That's the _only_ channel I watch (except for occasional anime on other channels). It was great before - no talking, just music. Now they added a guy who seemes to be able to talk non-stop. Baka. And I have to concentrate my attention on what he says instead of doing sth else. Let's just hope that they delete him soon^^;;. I love Mtv2 because it has a relatively small amount of crap when compared to other music channels like *shrugs* Mtv. BTW the show is called 'gonzo' (sht like that) and whenever I hear it I think of 53 ^^; but it's just me...

Ack! I just realized that the first con is... next weekend
-_-;. I don't have any tickets and still haven't decided if I should go there by bus or by train (damn con - must be 300km away *mumbles*)
Bad thing about it - another occasion to spend money
-_-

Autumn is here! Autumn is here!
Well _finally_. It was 20C today and very windy. And I dislike heat and summer very much. It's even worse for *me* because I dress only in black - thus die in the sun
-_-;;
But the temperature like today is fine. It's not cold enough to wear my coat (I love my coats - have 5 very similar black ones and one is even ankle-lenght) yet. Autumn is my favourite season ^___^
*looks at what she just wrote* oookaaay, I've been writing about _weather_. Something's wrong with me (gee, what a discovery...)

And my bloggie was visited in *Iran*!!! Hi Iran, *waves* hope you'll visit again ^____^

And oyasumi for me. I'm sleepy.

Money whining ahead:
I've just received estimation of the total price of my Acclimate order. Well, cool - I have only the half of the price!!!
I had the other half and even more - money I've been saving. Too bad that I can't save money! I love to spend it and hate keeping it untouched. So of course I can't even remember what I have bought (must have been unimportant stuff)
Why must Saiyuki be so expencive??
I've no idea what to do - I won't borrow money from anybody. Stupid financial problems >:P

Other thing: I hate mosquitos/gnats/bugs !!! I've got 7 bug bits on me ;_;. I thought that they bite me so much (more than they bite average people) because I don't kill them. But my sister doesn't kill them too, and they bite her very rarely. So I guess it's because I have a special blood that seemes tasty to them o.O;; Yuck. Good thing that vampires don't exist. No, wait *remebers Hellsing* - gulp.

Oh, how nice it is to wake up, drink Coffee-sama and speed to my Compy-chan only to find I had *so many visits* on my bloggie yesterday! Yay ^_______^
So, umm, I don't know what else should I write about, ehee hee...

I added a little pouting Gamma just under my statistics because
IT'S THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
And here is the full version. I love that pic. Can somebody honestly look at it and don't say 'aawwwwww' ?!?

Ugh, I know that now I will visit my new blog every time I'm online. And not to increase my counter. That would be just dumb.
It's just... that pic of Sanzou is too droolsome :>~~~~~~~

And I want a coffe mug that is like the one that Nii uses!!! It's so cute!!
Well, I guess I can make one myself; I know a place where they print stuff on t-shirts and mugs.I just have to find a good pic of the bunny ^^

I'm just back from the Japanese shop which existence I've discovered very recently. It's two bus stops from my house!!!
Anyway, it's the only one in the city (and I live in a capital city-_- ) and they don't sell any manga/anime (yet) but stuff like books, katanas, kimonos and different art. I went there because they had a book I've been looking for a long time. Japanese grammar. There are really _very_ few books about Japanese in my country, and I have most of them. I just needed a simple guide to the grammar because I have two dictionaries, one (sugoi) kanji dictionary, mini Japanese dialogues and a *very* advanced book that no matter how hard I try to understand I just can't. Half of it is dedicated to phonetics anyway. It really is *advanced*.
And the one I bough today is nice and has a lot of exercises and drawings made by Japanese people (manga in other words ^_^). Saaa..

And I feel kind of sorry for all people who started to go to school. I still have a month free ^__^

Oh, and I checked SaiyukiML finally (I keep forgetting about it since I have a special account for MLs - already 45% full) and I read a *good* rant about uke-ism of Sanzou. I agree with it fully. But as much as logically that would be OOC (but doesn't have to), I find 35 fun *^_^*. But I want to tell the world that 89 is sick, and I'll NEVER support it! I do not approve 59 and 83 too
-_- e hehe...

Look and be amazed as I present you... my new layout of doom, ha ha HA!!*cough* Right.
But this layout is *me* - it's mostly BLACK. Not pinkish like the last one. Besides, Sanzou-sama ^___^
I think that he is perfect for all layouts^^;;
Anyway, it may take some time to load, because the site I found to link images from is very slow. Hmm, I still need to work on this one. I need a margin for the entries. But I was so fed up with the layout before that I think this one, though unfinished , is better. I did some changes here too. Linked a few blogs which I often find myself reading *waves hi to all linked*. If you don't wan't me to link you, just tell me ;)

And I joined one clique *innocent smile*
So, to make it all more pretty and BW:

cold.. or are you?
Find out what bishonen you are.

I answered that test with my usual method (Ashram) because I, by no means am cold (well thanks to the aforementioned bishounen I sometimes am, but just for fun and only to strangers). Wheee, Kira is my favourite from AS!

And good news for me! I was planning to go to two conventions in September (the second is only a week after the first -_-;), and what did I hear? That there will be 'Saiyuuki movie' aired :DDDD. 'Movie' I guess is Requiem, I don't know if Kibou No Zaika is out yet. And I haven't seen Requiem! Probably this will all end up with me going home hugging my copy of it (If they won't sell me a copy, I'll force them). And it may change my plans, because each convention lasts a weekend and I wanted to stay only for one day. That is if they'll have Saiyuuki on Sunday, I'll stay ^_^. Oh, I didn't mantion that I've never been on a convention before. In May there was one I wanted to go to (they mentioned about airing Saiyuuki - the reason for me to go. But they didn't), but the same day I had a graduation exam and though I begged the teachers to move the date, they didn't (Don't want to brag but I got a mark that is an equivalent of 'A'. The subject I hated beyond my words - poetry and literature, but I got the easiest questions I could imagine. Luck.). So another reason for me to rejoice at.

And the more Gravitation i watch (yesterday afternoon my Net was down, so I watched it) the more I want to create a video featuring Bad Luck singing and Soil in the background. Really, 'breaking me down' is the PERFECT song to do this plus it lasts only 2.30. Another thing is that I have no clue how to make a video, but checking people's descriptions on AMV would tell me what programs should I use *sigh*
