Monday, February 10, 2003 ¯ hide - Misery OK, that'll sound strange but I started to hate this layout ><;; It's become ugly, IMHO. I realised that just now, because I don't visit my blog myself very often. It's pretty simple what's wrong with it: it has too many colors. Too many different colors make a layout more chaotic and less aesthetic. At least that's what I think. Layouts that I like have 2, sometimes 3 colors. But when there are 4 *contrasting*, like in his one, it looks definitely too chaotic. I love minimalism *goes off to load a new layout*. Astarise enlightened the world @ 11:15 a.m.  Sunday, February 9, 2003 ¯ Malice Mizer - Saikai no Chi to Bara It's done! It's finished! It's completed! My Record of Lodoss War Fanlisting is completed XDDDD Happy Astarise desu. Now, go here : http://www32.brinkster.com/rolw Sweet, ne? Even if you don't know what Lodoss is, go there to see the pretty layout :3 Eh, it took me so long to make it because I forgot the rule that if one is html-retarded one shouldn't create so complicated stuff --; Making the form was evil. Ah well, I'm glad I finished it. Now wouldn't it be fun if somebody joined it *hinthint*? Yes yes, I know, Lodoss is not popular... Astarise enlightened the world @ 04:01 p.m. Friday, February 7, 2003 ¯ The Notwist - Pick up the phone Ghh. I spent the whole morning in front of the computer, drinking coffee-sama, non-stop listening to some music (and I've got chaos in my head now @_@), downloading songs, working on that Lodoss fanlisting; cursing html, phoning my sister for help (she stays at my grandparents' this week), cursing html even more, uploading a hell lot of files, sighing because I have *67* codes and that is a loooot and I don't know which of them to delete, joining some help sites, cursing html-- I need to go out ><;; Astarise enlightened the world @ 03:46 p.m. Thursday, February 6, 2003 ¯ Solarized - Conspiracy Aww, I've been neglecting you, my poor bloggie *pets* Right. Ah well, there wasn't anything special to blog about. My life isn't fascinating enough to write about (and besides I don't really like to do it). I have a rule: if you don't have anything interesting to blog about - well, don't. I should follow it a bit more^^; Some people treat their blogs like diaries when they write about all their actual life problems (including *shrugs* love life) and I'm just not one of them ^_^ I have invented a new hairstyle for me - it's quite simple; the parting is in the line of ">". I love it. I have a need to rewatch Saiyuuki, maybe I'll manage to do it during this winter brake... Quizzies, because it's been a while since I posted some:  What Anime Stereotype Are You?  What NERV Child Are You? 
What kind of Dreamer are you? brought to you by Quizilla  Are you a yaoi fangirl? brought to you by Quizilla Some intersting referrers: theories about addiction to anime (once a fan, always a fan...), amon cosplay coat (awww~) , sonya hates kano (wtf? No I don't!), goku black face pic (o_O), sadako pics of the ring-japanese version (kowaiii yooo~ ><), gay black 14c (WTF?!?) And I even have some grammatically intelligent ones: why does the sun shines, pics of shakiras face. Gee, I wonder why -.-; Astarise enlightened the world @ 03:10 p.m. Monday, February 3, 2003 ¯ Gackt - Seven Gah. I was offline until afternoon *kicks her net conection*. And in times like that I thank the humanity for creating Photoshop ^_^ I bought a new coat today! Wee! It's pretty, black and long. Also I have a very important question for all coat producers. Why the *hell* do you put those little cushions in the shoulders?! Its utterly stupid. Well, okay, it's not when somebody has drooping shoulders. I don't. I do not have any intention to broaden my shoulders. Ysh~. I have even begun to be obsessed about that - I've torn out those nasty cushions from all my coats. But I'm not really happy about this one because even after removing them the shoulders are still too broad -_- Ah, well. Maybe it's just me. Get well soon, ne. Well yes, You're right. I never thought about the (un)practical aspect of that rain. Only about how nice did the wet Elves look^^;. The war was impressive but too long, IMHO (and, oh-the-unfairness, Haldir T-T). And I watched a similar program too, on Swedish tv once. Uruk-hais were dancing macarena there ._.' I also remember watching one program about the making of Harry Potter CoS. There was a cute scene when Lucius entered Dumbledore's office and shoved Harry aside with his staff. Only the actor (OOC of course) shoved him too hard and when he noticed that he turned to Harry, smiled apologecticly and said 'oh, oh, sorry'. It was so cute. In another part of that program they were showing the audience watching Quidditch match. And when the Slytherins scored, Lucius stood up applausing (in a very Lucius-like way), and Snape (I mean the actor, OOC) who was sitting next to him looked up at Lucius and smiled cheerfully (in a very un-Snape-like way). It was beyond cute. Cheerful!Snape. Unfortunately those scenes weren't in the movie ><; Speaking of HP, behold, My Slytherin scarf is completeeed! (thunders in the background) It's sweet, fluffy and warm ^^. Wearing it I feel like a fan >_< (btw, if someone wants to make a scarf, this site is very helpful.) Astarise enlightened the world @ 08:20 p.m. Saturday, February 1, 2003 ¯ A - Nothing Saw The Two Towers yesterday. An army of *Elves* in the *rain* has put me a little in the kyaa mood. Yum. But unfortunately a war was next. Not yum. Astarise enlightened the world @ 07:58 p.m. Friday, January 31, 2003 ¯ Maaya Sakamoto - Kiseki no Umi One of the things I hate the most is being forced to study. OK, it's childish, I know, but I just *hate* to study. Especially something that is useless. Especially when I'm *supposed* to study. Especially when I'm to sit all day at home just to study><. Blah. And when I'm forced to study I stare at the ceiling and do nothing instead. But fortunately it's over for a little while^^;; Saa... I'm spending a lot of time working on that Lodoss fanlisting. Making banners is indeed fun :D. But for me I guess it was fun too much as I've created over 80 of them. And those are only from Lodoss *OAVs*. There are also different artworks from the tv serie, lots of kinds of manga, novels, artbooks, chibi, Crystania etc, and I'm going to do a few of the too... @_@. There are over 80 because there are so many characters in the Lodoss universe and I wanted to have a few pics for each one of them. Uh, and predictable as it is, Ashram-sama has 40-something ^_^. I'm not going to post *all* of those codes of course... I found my old cd with anime songs - yay. Anime soundtracks were my first steps toward jrock. I have so many Fushigi Yuugi/Kenshin/Lodoss/Evangelion/ songs that I still like^^ My sister has finally seen TTT. Yes, that's right, her not me. I'm glad because that means that she'll soon stop tormenting me and talking non-stop about it. I'm not a LotR fan - sure movie 1 was cool and such, but I never found it appealing enough to read the books or start being a fan. And the more she was obsessed about it, the less I wanted to be interested in it. And lately the situation went a little worse because (of all people) my *mother* has started drooling over Aragorn. And they kept talking Aragorn this, Legolas this, blah blah blah ><. The last week before the premiere was the worst. I sincerely hope that the whole craziness in my house will fade soon. ...She's dragging me out to watch it this evening (actually, I shouldn't be complaining). Eh, living with a rabid LotR fangirl... It's been snowing again and everything is white. Now, when I was going to the exam today, I looked closer at the trees. The naked branches were completely covered with white. And then it hit me. Those trees looked like sakuras! It just needed to add a little imagination to make the snow into cherry blossoms^^. And after a while I've became convinced that some of them are even a little pinkish. Really when I looked at the city in that way, everything was three times more beautiful. And when the wind blew and the snow was falling off the branches I saw it as a rain of sakura petals. I was grinning like an idiot and thinking kyaa, I'm in Japan *^_^*. Go my imagination^^;;; I'm out of black cartridge ink. *Again*. Gods, I finish them so quickly... The worst part is that the cartridge costs 1/6 of the printer's price -_-; And I must buy one today. If not then what about my daily 50 pages of random HP slash? Agh, I've became so addicted. Fortunately I guess that there is an *infinite* amount of those fics on the net so it's very likely that I won't find myself in a situation when I'd realise that I'd read them all (actually I'm beginning to suspect that there aren't many Snape/Sirius that I haven't read). Speaking of HP, I've just bought volume 2 in English. I'm going to collest them gradually, next will be the 4th, then (I hope) 5th and the first one would be the last^^; Hmm, I've just found out that Hayato from Duel Jewel acts in Dark Water. Yay. And Dark Water will be aired in March. Yay2. And a little late but I'd like to say that I really like these layouts . Saiyuuki goodness ^_____^ Speaking of layouts, It's been 2 weeks since I have this one and I'm already bored with it ><; Maybe for some decency I'll manage to endure one more week... It's all probably because I only *truly* like only those of my layouts which have even numbers^^; I totally love this site ^_^. And this is a really pleasant time-eater XDD Astarise enlightened the world @ 04:36 p.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2003 ¯ Duel Jewel - Chinmoku Just a little thing. After some thinking I decided that Ashram-sama is *the* biggest seme ever. Aside from the fact that he is 100% straight of course. But theoretically - I can't imagine him being uke with *anyone*. Even with those who are thought to be super-seme (Fuuma, Muraki etc.). I'm really curious if a character with bigger seme-potential than He has exists... Will blog more Astarise enlightened the world @ 06:59 p.m. Tuesday, January 28, 2003 ¯ Malice Mizer - Beast of blood Saa... I really should pay more attention to various school-matters. *Again* I went there in the morning only to find all classes cancelled. And again I was the only one who didn't know about it. Bah, I'm getting slowly *used* to it because such situations with me happen very often ><. So I'm far over the state of being irritated. In fact I'm in a very happy mood right now, really don't know why but I don't mind^^ Good news - no school not only today, but the whole *week* is free (and the official break is next and nextnext week). Oh, joy! (yes, a whole week is free and I *didn't know* about it oO;) Bad news - a big, ugly linguistics exam on Friday. But I think it's the last one (for now). And so, I spent today trying to gather all my notes together. It's not an easy task, because I wanted to be smart and not carry some kind of notebook with me every day (heavy) but instead decided to take notes on separate sheets of paper. Haha. Only being me, I've lost about a quarter of them ><;; They are probably somewhere in my room between other papers (<- I really need to do sth about that mess. Finally--;). Great. Ah, well, who would worry about that little detail^^; Not me~ Hmm, I also think that I *should* stop criticising fanfics. It's really not fair of me. Maybe if I was a good writer I'd feel ok with criticising other people's work... But I'm not (and pessimistically thinking, probably never will be *coughlanguagecough*). I'm not a fanfiction writer, I'm a fanfiction reader, ha :D Astarise enlightened the world @ 07:58 p.m. Monday, January 27, 2003 ¯ Gackt - Illness Illusion I'm considering starting a Lodoss fanlisting/clique. Because of a few reasons: - I love all that is Lodoss - I want to have a nice banner in my joined section - Making codes must be fun - Simply because there is no Lodoss fanlisting at all - And because Lodoss fandom is so... uh.. what fandom? Yes, I'll do it, even though I suspect that there will be only one person (uh, me) who would join ^^; RL: School-free day today - yay! I think I've had too much fics. Slash particularly. And unfortunately most of slash ends with the inevitable 'I love you too', bleeeaarrrghh. Sorry, but I just hate such cheesy endings. Especially the 'I love you too' symptom. Maybe I would find it cute if I was 12 again -_-. It's not that I don't like slash. Oh, nonono. It's just that there are too little fics which aren't PWP or a cheesy romance. And I like those best. Eh, badly written yaoi *shrugs*. Honestly, considering how popular parodies are these days, someone should write a slash-parody. Uhuh, someone should. Someone... ... *feels awkward* Why does everyone keep staring at me like that? *Group of potential blog readers forms a semi-circle. One of them, hooded, steps out, kneels and hands me a red velvet cushion with a white plot bunny sitting on it* Bunny: squee :3 Me: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo- Hey, I don't have to accept you, you know? Agh, agh agh >< Astarise enlightened the world @ 09:57 a.m. Saturday, January 25, 2003 ¯ Hyde and Gackt's 38 minutes-long interview (althought they're speaking, it's music to my ears^^) I drew a bishounen on the fridge today. I mean, it's not a bishie *on* the fridge, but a bishie *drawn* on the fridge. With a white-board marker. And I'm very content with the result. A shame only that it's not on paper as I would scan him and show :3. I named him 'bishounen-kun' (and wrote it in katakana next to him) XDD. Even if he's only head and shoulders, it is a very nice addition to the kitchen. Funny as it sounds, now being in the kitchen I drool not thinking about food ^^; Astarise enlightened the world @ 08:24 p.m. Friday, January 24, 2003 ¯ Vex Red - Can't Smile I wrote some time ago about my triple personality. Now I've dicovered its fourth aspect, the blog me. How? On today's exam, when I was to write my name on the paper, I unknowingly wrote astarise.pitas.com _-_! (I passed the exam beautifully, btw) Astarise enlightened the world @ 02:52 p.m. Friday, January 24, 2003 ¯ Pierrot - Kumo no Ito Wow, I was studying all evening yesterday. So OOC. Well, at least I was trying to study... I have a short attention span and it's very easy to distract me, and it's not my fault that I started to daydream and found an interesting unread fanfic between my notes and-- OK, so it wasn't OOC ><. Ah, well. Why, not at all. In fact, *links* :D I neglect the Saiyuuki MLs very much *slaps self*. It's all because there is too many messages a day. I didn't want them to flood my main account, so I have many others especially for MLs. Not so long time ago I devoted one only to Saiyuki and Saiyuki Yaoi. And I forgot about its existence. And now when I checked that account, it had over 800 messages @_@. So I've set all my yahoo MLs to the non-email mode. Hmmph. Had there been less messages a day I would have read them daily. But what to expect when there are over 1000 people in a group *sigh* Astarise enlightened the world @ 09:38 a.m. Wednesday, January 22, 2003 ¯ Twice the Sun - I Don't Sleep What am I doing online? I should be studying XP Eh, it's not as bad as it sounds. Today's exam was very easy and so will be tomorrow's, I suppose. And the Friday's one (is evil)... well, it's on Friday so I have some time left *dances on a flower field*. Sometimes it amazes me how light-hearted and not worrying I am. So I've been hunting fanarts and images today. Found some interesting Mamiya Oki sites^^. And on this site a Minekura-style Snape ^_^ *pauses to listen* You know, that song is just *beautiful*. I truly recommend it to everyone~~ *waves to Beth* Polish anime fangirl, yup, that's me XD (although I want to get away from here ASAP and be just an anime fangirl...). Oh, and I've been reading Your blog from time to time. Your English is just *jaw on the floor* *is jealous* ^__^ I love to read things written by people whose level and style of English are higher than normally. The kind that makes me go :O or use a dictionary. Like the style which Mihatenu Yume (©) is written in. Or anything by Sf ^_^ Simply put, I like to look up to others. Astarise enlightened the world @ 03:27 p.m. Tuesday, January 21, 2003 ¯ Miyavi - Dear from xxx I have 3 exams this week. Blah. So it's very likable that I won't blog this much (uhuh, sure). I'm out of Coffee-sama (agghhh><). Already. It appears that I use 150g in 3 week's time. That's 7,5g per day. That's a lot. And it's said that coffee takes magnesium and calcium away. But I don't have to worry because they can be found in various green leaves, bananas and hazel nuts. And I, being a vegetarian and all, eat those all the time. So it's a kind of a vicious circle but it keeps me healthy. At lest that's what I think ^.^ Eh.. Those pairings I've added on my bloggie may seem strange, but hey, I'm stange too so it fits^^;;; I need to join more fanlistings/cliques. I don't know why, I just feel like I have to. It's really interesting, because fanlistings don't have any useful purpose. Nonetheless when I join one I feel more happy. There are 4 results in searching for 'Apocalyptica fanlisting' - 2 of them feature my blog. Naisu --;; I'm glad that You find my layout sexy, Nadia-san XDDD And about Saiyuuki females. I'm actually glad that the situation is like it is. Let's just say it straight: I don't like it when there are too much females in anime. A female character must be really special and above the average-ly cool to deserve my respect (Fortunately there are a few that I like. Integral! Robin!*worships*). Because in anime the vast majority of female charcters is the same, alike. Besides, I just don't find it entertaining when a story is about girls. I don't like girls. Ende. And Saiyuuki has the big advantage of having female characters of a rather minor importance. And they're even not extremely irritating. I mean, Yaone is Yaone, but it's *Yaone* (uh, for me that statement actually makes sense). Hmm, I'm talking a lot about Saiyuuki lately. Probably because soon it will be a full year since I've known it ^.^  Which Saiyuuki Character Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Astarise enlightened the world @ 02:33 p.m. Sunday, January 19, 2003 ¯ Sinch - Bitmap A few random thoughts: Went shopping yesterday (talk about saving money ><). I bought a new handbag (Or rather a shoulderbag. Something. I don't know what to call it^^;). I'm very happy about it because it's exactly the same as my old one. I find my old one just perfect for me, thus I've been refusing buying any other. I mean, I have a few other ones, but I just don't like them. And the old one has became a little worn-out. And when I thought I've lost all hope, I saw an identical one (after a year of looking). Happy desu :3. I also bought 2 pairs of shoes, a sweater and a t-shirtyay. Now about fics, in general. 1) I finally decided what kind of fics I like the most. Fics with original, long, interesting (and funny) plot with (!) original characters. Now, now. I'm not talking of course about MSs, because I've already wasted a lot of my time expressing my hate for them on this bloggie^^; I mean original characters without romance between them and the um.. not-original ones. Those fics are the coolest. 2) A thing I don't understand whatsoever. Why do people write in their descriptions (I'm talking about ff.net) that 'I suck at summaries'? A summary is supposed to atract the attention of potential readers. By writing that the author 'sucks' at something, at least for me, the summary looks less appealing. It suggests that the author may 'suck' also at writing. So, why don't write already 'I suck at writing fanfics, nonetheless I wrote this'? I certainly wouldn't want to read a fic summarised that way. It's not quite all about self-esteem. What one thinks about one's own piece of fanfiction doesn't have to be exactly the same what one writes in the summary. Because by actually posting a fic one wants others to read it. It is also a matter of seeking attention. Writing such things, it (imo) gives a subconscious message to review and say 'no, you don't suck'. It's the same as a situation when a friend says 'oooh, I'm so pathetic, nobody likes me'. I personally hate it when people say such things. And no matter what do you think about that person, you are expected to deny what that person is saying. There are no perfect fanfic authors. And surely everyone wants positive feedback. But please, it does say something about the level of fanfic-writing skills when people say that they 'suck'. Why waste summary space writing that? A summary should advertise a fic! I don't and won't understand that. What also bothers me in summaries is the way that the authors beg for reviews. They even (maybe they find it funny) threaten that if a potential reader won't review they would do sth like, for example, cursing them. I've seen enough descriptions like that to say that it exasperates me. Much. 3) Ohoho, and me, I'm plotting a Saiyuuki fic. Sloooowly plotting, because my fic bunny is very shy (and vague). I also have 2 other ideas, but they concern HP, and I don't think I would write that^^; *eyes stats suspiciously* Why am I having so many visits today o_O? I must hurry up with this Slytherin scarf knitting. Winter will be over in a month or so (*knit knit knit* Yes, I'm 19 and have a wonderful social life *knit knit knit*). It looks so haphazardly >_<; Just when I decided to install comments, I found that the site I was planning to use has temporarily closed signups. Someone knows a good commenting system which does not require having own domain? Oh, so beautiful Sanzou-sama new layouts ! And I agree with You. Sanzou layouts rule. The more Sanzou layouts there are in the blogland, the more happy I am :D And how naisu, I've been linked! Sankyuu *links back* ^___^ And I'm sleepy right now =_=... Astarise enlightened the world @ 09:14 p.m. Friday, January 17, 2003 ¯ Apocalyptica - No Education Ufufufu~~ Phew, finally a new layout - be scared XD (told you it'll be scary) These two images I used were of really evil quality, so you may just look how much work it has cost me to make them look more... civilised (I even created new fingers for Gojyo--;). Don't remember where I took them from, btw >_<; And as usual, there is a possibility of some coding mistakes because *I* was the one who entirely did the coding (must check it on the damn 1024xsomething)^o^ Astarise enlightened the world @ 08:31 p.m.
