I’ve noticed that everyone has a different style of blogging. Nat says a lot and makes you think, has no qualms about telling folks all about her life, and generally has enough to say for a good read. Sabina’s entries are aften playful/thoughtful, often about writing, art, or language, and are interesting. Steph-san tends to review things and bring up topics of discussion. (Speaking of which, I miss the lists.) Nick and Geo seem to not quite know what to do with the blog and end up babbling about swords and video games. I feel that my entries are long, pointless, and eat up the reader’s time, who are only reading this because they feel obligated to. But then, I have poor self-esteem. ^^;; But to bring this topic back to where I intended it to go, there seem to be two sensations I get from reading blogs: one is that the entry is solid, well-thought-out, and thought-provoking. Or if not thought-provoking, the subject matter is interesting and explored thoroughly. The other feeling is one of lightness, frippery, something like that. The entry isn’t as coherent as it could be, jumps between multiple topics without really exploring any, or just doesn’t hold the attention of the reader. I like reading both kinds, so don’t think I’m trying to subtly diss anyone. ^^;; Except myself.

Social Blog!

Moony: I forgive you for not showing up! Padfoot’s just being annoying. XD I’m actually pretty understanding. Peeved at your parents, though. XD And the Hagrid thing was because I remembered that was what we called her first, but then we renamed her and I couldn’t remember what we called her. Ron, Ron, got it…

Steph: I don’t think she’s annoying! I think she’s adorable. Very bookish. As for your house… Ravenclaw. Almost certainly. But then, I’m characterized by a Gryffindor, when (by general consensus) I’m a Slytherin. I wanted to switch to Tom Riddle, but I was vetoed. ;_; And it isn’t that we converted you, exactly, it’s just that we’re here to babble with you about it. Don’t ask. I know my brain makes no sense. ^^;;

Hallo Padfoot! Welcome back! So if Steph-san can’t be Hermione, who would she be…? I’ll have to think on this. And I forgot that we had Lily. ^^;; Silly me. We’ll leave the boy/girl switch rule in place. We’ll just think of another person for Steph-san.

Oh my goodness! Mum just got a bird away from the cats (a baby one, at that) and it seems to be okay, other than being in shock. I hope it’s okay, at least. *frets* It’s panting away, but there’s no blood… *calls the animal hospital, get referred to the rehabilitative center* Okay, so now we stick her back in the tree, wait for half an hour, then watch to see if the parents come back and feed her. If not, we bring her to the rehabilitative center. And now I desperately want to volunteer at the animal shelter! Blarg! I love animals, and ya’ll know I watch puppy surgery for fun. ^^;; I would consider going into animal medicine, but that means I have to take classes where I cut open dead things and this is not the kind of thing to be talking about while eating macaroni and cheese!

Suddenly I feel like Excel. Ah, if only I could talk that fast…

But really. I love animals, and I’ve always had some pet or another. And I’ve attached to this bird like I haven’t attached to my mice or my hamster or my cats or the rats or… You get the idea. I hope she’ll be okay. *fret fret fret*

I love Bob & George. Yes, complete topic change. The current joke is about the invincibility of the main character. “My name is in the title of the comic! I can’t die!” And it worked, but we’re told that it’s a contrived plot device. I love contrived plot devices. There should be more Bob. Bob is evil. Evil is good. Evil is sexy. XD

And so far this entry has had one planned topic (which was gone into in some depth) one unplanned topic (again, in depth) and one frivolous ad for a comic. CUT!

Today is an exciting, fun-filled day! In other words, I’ll laze around and do nothing.

Yesterday I made significant progress in anime club business due to Steph-san’s wonderfulness. All hail God-chan! *bows* We went for a ride north with Neechan and did nothing. I ate dinner. It was good. Oh, and I got over the sudden influx of Sephiroth merchandise and prepared to goggle at the Bizarro Sephiroth statue on Ebay. Don’t buy it. I want it.

Time to snicker at Steph-san! I find it strangely ironic that the person who once skipped whole paragraphs in my entries is now delighted with the exact thing those paragraphs were about. Harry Potter! Whee-hee-hee! Another convert! You get to be Hermione, dear.

See, this needs some explanation (if I haven’t already done so, which I think I have). My circle of real-life friends (yes, I actually have some! But they’re obsessed with me so I’m debating whether they’re fangirls or minions) has all read the books, so we figured out which character we’re most like (and for non-appearing characters, we based our decisions off of mainstream fanfics) and use that as a kind of code name. Call me Prongs and I will kill you.

The Marauders are based off of their Hogwarts years, not their adult years, so character discrepancies do exist. For example, Sirius is a hyper ball of mischief. Remus Lupin is… stoic, really. But with a bizarre twist of humor that slaps a brick wall on top of your head and an appreciation for the truly twisted. Wormtail is kinda twitchy, overly loud, and very friendly. And James Potter? -_-;; I’m the parent of the group, really. But occasionally I join in and taunt Padfoot. XD For other characters we have Ron, Snape, Flitwick, and now Hermione. Tell me if I missed some, Moony. Padfoot doesn’t have access to a pooter anymore, so I don’t get comments from her. ;_;

Sorry for having a notciceable lack of Social Blog lately, I kept forgetting.

Moony: Damn right I want it! And I can have it, too, if I don’t mind not having manga… I must pick and choose! I want Bizarro Sephiroth, Sephiroth resin figure, and Vincent Resin figure. But that eats up all my money. ;_; Reminder! Concert tape and T-shirt money! We really need the money so we can make a down payment. Thursdays from 4 to 6.

Nick: I’m trying to win the Buster sword, actually. XD I love contests. But I need a job so that I can buy all this Sephy stuff and have a custom Masamune made.

Random comments: I discovered that I have Sephiroth’s theme as an mp3. No more crappy midi! Yay! And I have the Blitzball song, and Chop Suey, and OWA, so I could make a CD! Whee! …But a very short CD.

And I have nothing to do now, so off I go!

I keep spending money. Why? Because I have money. Even though I keep saying, “Yeah, I can’t decide what to spend it on!” I spend it anyway. Mostly on movies and food. Weird, since I’m not much of a movie person. But today I go to see the Croc Hunter! Mainly because they make fun of themselves so there’s no need for me to do it. XD I really need to draw an Otaku Hunter comic. I think it’s be funny if my blog suddenly switched into comic format. Don’t you think so? Yeah, that’s what I thought. XD

Yesterday was spent trying to make FF7 work, failing, realizing I can stare at the FMVs anyway, and driving with Neechan and Steph-san. And driving trucks through FF7’s plotholes, but I do that so often it’s not really worth mentioning.

And for anyone who thinks the plotholes are a downside to FF7, all I have to say is: “The bigger the plothole, the more fic you can patch it with.”

Sephysephysephysephysephysephy… Sephiroth is so cool. And I just found out that SwordsOnline do custom swords, so I’m gonna get a job, buy some swords, and buy me a Masamune!

I have this weird mental thing when it comes to Masamune. Most folks would call it *the* Masamune, cuz it’s an object. I consider it sentient, and thus use it’s name like I’d use a person’s name. Masamune. Not the Masamune, just Masamune. Yeah, I’m weird. I already knew that. XD

Yanno, when Sephy is pulling Masamune out of SPOILER his hair sticks straight back. In the air. It looks funny. XD

So I decided what to spend my money on. A costume can wait, there’s no rush. I’d have to save for another year to get enough for a good sword. Manga are good. Random assorted things are good. Sephiroth is better. Thus, I will buy Sephiroth and get some manga with the leftover money.

You think I’m crazy now, don’t you? Silly girl, thinking she can buy Sephiroth. Yes, I’m so silly to think that I can buy Sephiroth. Who would think of such a thing? I mean, he doesn’t even exist. How can you buy him? Yeah, Lisette’s so sil- OH MY GAWD!! PLUSH DOLLS! And the FF7 & FF8 Coke SD figures! *squeals happily* And a nice long list of merchandise I’ve never seen before, as well as the commercials! Whoo! Dolls for sale here. So much stuff! I should buy something.

What I really need to do is buy the figure straight from the creator. I saw an ad in an Animerica for Vincent, and it had a URL… So I need to call the person with that issue and find out what the URL was. Until then, I’ll stare at this. And this. And wish that I dared to open my action figures of Sephiroth and Vincent. I really should, Sephy is selling for $30 on Ebay instead of $50 like he was before…

So anyway. That’s my entry for today: links to FF merchandise. Which I want. Why can’t I have a plushie of Sephy, hm? XD Cuz I want the resin statue! Of course.

NOW I’m tired. After 11 hours of sleep. Go figure. But you’re right, Moony, it’s a really weird feeling to be perky without sleep. Maybe I’ll try to break the sleep-deprivation record someday. XD I got up at noon after lazing around for a few hours, and now I have this sudden desire to pretend to be a gamer. See, usually I just sit around and read fanfics, maybe obsess a little over the FF7 plot, maybe run some 18-wheelers through FF7’s plotholes. (There are no plotholes. *waves a hand*) I very rarely actually play the game, and then it’s probably DW3. I STILL haven’t finished FFX, but that’s just cuz I gotta level up before I go beat up his intestines. I never actually played through FF7, but I saw the whole thing. Never finished FF6. Did I ever actually play 6? I don’t remember. It was a long time ago, before the game got fried… Never played 4, but it looks so familiar. Never finished Chrono Trigger if I played it, but I saw the whole thing. Tetris pissed me off. FF9 failed to command my attention enough to break my habit of dropping games. FF8 bored me intensely because all the interesting stuff starts happening after the first 20 hours of gameplay. I never completed the mission with the train. Need I go on? No.

I am determined, however, to make FFX the first game I’ve ever finished. I’m almost there: I just need to beat the mutant whale. Then I can watch the pretty FMVs and cry some more at the ending. Doesn’t help that I watched the Japanese ending on DVD, I suppose. Now I know exactly what I’m facing and boy, is it ugly. >.< But I will finish. I swear!

…But until then, I’m gonna dig out my PC version of FF7 and bring back the memories. Tee hee!

Well. The sleepover last night was quite interesting. Steph-san played the whole of Fatal Frame in less than 5 hours, we never went to sleep (well, Neechan got 2 hours during Fatal Frame and snored the whole time, but my impression is that she got the most sleep and I certainly never closed my eyes. Well, I squeezed them shut for some of the scarier moments in the game, but you know what I mean) and Heero-bear made an appearance. ^^;; We also played a small amount of a racing game (RX-7, wootah!) and just a little DW3. Just a little. A smidgin. Hardly enough to level Sima Yi up at all. XD

So now I’m hungry and the excitement high is wearing off and I keep yawning. I’m not genuinely tired or sleepy, but staying awake more than 24 hours makes ya yawn. I really haven’t felt particularly tired all night/morning. I’m baffled by this. Normally I’m conked out by 11:30 at the absolute latest, and here I am at hour… *consults clock and painfully draws the math out of her skull* 29. Or thereabouts. Coffee, anyone?

One of the neatest things about staying up all night watching a TV is that at some point, you start seeing in more dimensions than you should. I dunno if it’s just a trick of them tired, crossing eyes or what, but it’s freaky. Since the fourth dimension is time, I’d guess I was seeing the 5th dimension for a bit there. Or something. It was rather disorienting.

So anyway. What else to talk about? I’m too vague to say anything about swords other than “Ooh, pretty” and too awake to subject you to bizarre rants about the parallels between Fatal Frame and Weiss Kreuz. Which do exist, I assure you. ^^;; I wish we could’ve watched some of the latter half of Utena so that I could make sense of the blinking pointing episode. And just the whole thing in general. Like what exactly the Ends of the World is. No, don’t try to explain it to me, I know the obvious answer. And if you have a complicated explanation, it won’t fit in with my understanding of the series. Never does. That series is on crack.

…For someone with nothing to say, I sure manage to say a lot.

My nephew is visiting. So is his mother. I wish I were on the other side of the globe. -_- Have I mentioned that I hate children? And his mum decided to order my little sister around. Grr. I almost yelled at her, but I really don’t want to be verbally abused.

In other news: I have yet to reschedule my shrink appointment, I still have to call the whatever of the state to make the club official (or not, that’s how little I know about what I’m doing) and tonight is a club sleepover. I’m already twitching. AND Neechan is trying to make it sound like I’ve done nothing for the club and that she’s been a superhero when all she’s done is talk to ONE PERSON who just HAPPENS to be enthusiastic and have the money and space to support us, whereas I ran around the city and discovered that no, we couldn’t have the club there. So of course she’s wonderful and I’m a lazy piece of shit. Of course. Isn’t that how it always works?

Excuse me while I find a place to scream swears where no one will hear me.

So. Now that I am slightly calmer, let’s find something new to talk about. How about… Oh shit, the kid’s going for Dad’s medicine.

There. Saved the medicine, not to mention the kid. I hate kids. I will never, ever have children. Ever. Ever ever ever. God, I want to kill something. *goes and stares at SwordsOnline* Yes, I will enter the contest so that I might win a free sword… *adds many swords to her wish list* Oh yes, pretty swords… Pretty pretty swords…

Alright. The swords have calmed me down. They still have the Buster sword, although it’s not currently in stock. Cheap too: Only $274. 7 pounds, 50 inches… Sweet. I’m saving my money.

I need a job. Well, not a job; I need money. I’m going to have to feed myself on Thrusdays from now on because the club always runs late and Dad refuses to feed us after 6, and it’s not our fault if we don’t want to leave 13-year-olds alone in the park. So I gotta start buying my own dinner on Thursdays. And I want manga, and costumes, and swords, and other stuff that isn’t so important. And I most certainly don’t have enough money for it. Ah, how fondly I remember the days when $20 made me rich and bought me anything I wanted… Now I need several hundred dollars to make my aquisitiveness pipe down. Le sigh.

Sword sword swordity sword.

Anime club today. I feel kinda pathetic cuz I haven’t done too much for the club other than discover that our potential host sites won’t host us. And try to sell things. I like money.

Well, I’m liking the feedback I’m getting on this FF7 train of thought (although no one has repeated their volunteer to be a Turk) so I think I’ll continue it over the next few days. I deeply apologize to the server for yesterday’s entry. ^^;; This one will be much shorter.

Quick social blog before I get started:
Nick-kun: I like those boots! They’re really not that uncomfortable. Get ‘em at Hot Topic or some other goth store. And as for trimming down… Me too. ^^;; All I gotta say is that I’ll be a very busty Rufus. Like that Irvine in the group picture I posted in my comment on yesterday’s entry. (hint hint!)

I’ll talk about cosplay some more today, cuz I don’t have enough time to get in-depth on anything else. I’m told that making the suits will be a bitch (Well, duh) but I think it’ll be a heck of a lot cheaper to make the suits rather than buying them. Here’s an example of what appears to be a single-layer outfit; this outfit looks solid about the shoulders, so I think it’s heavier. Prolly double layers of cloth. The Reno outfit can probably deal with being single-layer, but double-layer would be best for consistency. I am, of course, assuming that I’ll be making all the outfits. It would make more sense to have one person doing the work, because we’ll want consistent cloth color and practice makes perfect, so the more I do the better I’ll get. If anyone wants to be a Turk, even if you’ve already mentioned it, drop me a line and we’ll discuss which character and what the cloth’ll cost. I’ll pay for my own outfit and all the patterns, but you’re on your own for your fabric and shoes and shirt and tie. And sunglasses. And, if you want, wig. All I gotta do is get a haircut and gel! XD Blue eyes, blond hair… I might want to dye my hair a lighter blond, though. Or is it spelled blonde for girls? I can never remember.

So what I need is a suit jacket pattern, dress pants pattern, some weird pattern I can adapt to Rufus’ undercoat (what the heck *is* that thing?!) and a lot of white and blue fabric. A LOT of blue fabric. Four double-layer suits? I’m gonna buy the store out of fabric. ^^;; I’ll have to ask Dad if he thinks the pants should be double-layer as well. I think it depends on what kind of fabric I pick up. Note that I know nothing about fabric. Heavy, light, or fur. Silk or satin or cotton. White ANYTHING requires double layers. And if you want it to be stiff, get a whole bunch of layers in there. Mucho thanks to Dad for making my Yoji outfit for me and slaving over that durn collar. ^^;; How many layers was that? Eight? Way too many to sew properly, that’s for sure. Poor Dad. ^^;;;;

And this entry is starting to look good-sized, so I’ll wrap it up by mentioning that I find it utterly hilarious that talking about DW3 cosplay got no response, but when I mention FF7 cosplay I get collectively glomped. I love you guys. XD

I think I’ll refrain from talking about the Initial D stuff, since I get rather emotional about it. So instead, I’ll discuss FF7 cosplay.

The outfits themselves would be very easy to make, seeing as they’re suits. Plain old suits. Rufus has a bit of strangeness with his underjacket thingy, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. The person going as Reno would have to be very talented, if you ask me, cuz I’m picky about Reno. They’d have to sleep in the clothes beforehand or something so they look properly rumpled. ^^;; Attention must be paid to the hair, because hair is one of the few things that sets Turk cosplayers apart from random people in suits. A replica nightstick is easy to make. For Reno, a good slump is a must, as well as an arrogant smirk. For Rude… Sunglasses, yo. I dunno about a bald cap, so long as the pose is down right. Rod up your spine and all that. For Tseng… Hmm. Makeup, I suppose, at least for the chakra. Some hair mousse. Impeccable suit, and most certainly a nice watch. I’m picky with details. ^^;; Elena… It would be a little harder to make her suit cuz it’s slightly more form-fitting than the guys’. Other than that… We could get white shirts at Wal-Mart or something, and ditto on the shoes. They all have different shoes. The final details… Rude and Reno’s sunglasses, three black ties, one of those white napkins for Rude, and… wow, Rude has a lot of earrings.

Here’s a nice big picture of ‘em all. From left to right: Elena, Tseng, Rufus, Rude, and Reno. Note that Reno has scars on his cheeks. Important detail. And, cuz I’m strange, a list of ‘em from tallest to shortest: Rude, Tseng, Rufus, Reno, Elena. Reno and Rufus are about the same height.

Dude! Rufus has biker gloves! So I buy a pair of fingerless biking gloves and use ‘em as a pattern. I wanted to make Zell’s gloves too, so this could work nicely. *mutters to herself* I’ll want to make the nightstick of something durable so I can actually retract it, and coat it with metallic paint… I’ll have to check that page of tips on how to make it look realistic… Heavy cloth for the suits or double layers? Ah, Rude has gloves too… Why does Reno wear such dorky shoes? I can excuse Rufus, he’s a pampered mama’s boy, but Reno? Tsk. At least Elena has classy footwear.

So, who’s volunteering for which character? Keep in mind it’ll be hot and sweaty and I’ll kill you if you’re not in-character for pictures. And there will be pictures. If I can get photographed as Yoji before Weiss Kreuz got bought (and no one there knew who I was) then you better believe the Turks’ll get photographed. And you’ll have to deal with my incompetence as a seamstress and try on the durn outfits a LOT. And pose. And get that threatening glare down pat. (You know which one I’m talking about, Padfoot. You’re on the receiving end often enough. XD ) But I’m not trying to discourage you guys, not at all. I’d actually really like to have a nice crowd of Turks. ^^;; Oh, and could someone let Hagrid know that she’d be a neat Rude? XD

Which reminds me! Steph-san finally read Harry Potter and SHE LIKES IT!! *grabs a random passerby and does the Happy Dance* I so happy! Stephy likes HP! Now I can babble and she’ll know what I’m talking about! Draco, wonderful Draco! Draco Draco Draco Draco! *giggles her happy fangirl giggle*

Nat: Well, the con’ll prolly be in Mass of Chu Chus cuz Mikkakan no longer exists, and if not we’re looking at Baltimore. I haven’t read the fic yet, haven’t had that much access to the pooter. ^^;; Gomen! It’s like Geo’s fic: I’ll end up reading it after Armageddon. Cuz I forget it’s there. And don’t shorten your comments! I like reading them. ^.^

Geo and Nick: Thanks for offering, boys, but you’re a little far away to cosplay with, ne? Although I’d gladly pay for the plane tickets to see Nick in Elena’s outfit. XD And yeah, Geo, you’re right. You’ve got the face shape for Rude. I wouldn’t recommend actually shaving your head, though. ^^;;

Moony: No offense to Wormtail, but I’m not sure she’s that much of an anime/gaming fan. I’d rather have someone else in the bald cap. ^^;; It’s a nice thought, though.

Padfoot: It’s all FF7, dearie. Rufus is President Shinra’s son (Shinra is the company that rules the world, much like Microsoft) and he seems rather vain. The Turks are employees of Shinra whose actual purpose is to recruit for SOLDIER (I think? Correct me if I’m wrong, I could be pulling that out of a fanfic) but they serve as Rufus’ bodyguards and are loyal to him in a way they were never loyal to their father. Oh yeah, Pres Shinra got pinned to his desk with the Masamune (remembers the Trail of Blood and shivers with delight) so Rufus kinda became the Pres after that. He had a parade, I think. And he has a pet mutant panther and uses a sawed-off shotgun. And Tseng is the leader of the Turks, Elena is the newest member (formerly Reno was the newest) and someone else in the game is a former Turk. I say “someone” because I’ve given enough spoilers without warning for the day. ^^;;

*keeps looking at the picture* They’re so cool! I wish I were that cool. And since we’re sharing pictures, let me show you Sorceress Rufus. He’s from the BunnyCrash universe created by Black Rose-sama and the “Sorceress” is just a title, folks. Not gender-indicative. I like her version of his coat better anyway. ^^;;

So… I have nothing to talk about other than Final Fantasy. ^^;; I would rant about Sephiroth, but that uses up more space and time than I’m comfortable with… I’d review the storyline (filling in the gaping plotholes along the way like any good fanficcer) but that also takes too much time. I’d go over the science of Jenova, but I don’t know that much about science. I’d talk more about Rufus, but there’s not much more to say. I guess I’ll limit myself to the Masamune.

The Masamune is a legendary sword. Its brother sword, the Murasame (Geo, correct me if I’m wrong here!) was a sword that gave life. Like Megaman: “Megaman! Fight! For eternal peace!” except with swordage. The Masamune was an instrument of death. It was said that if one were to float the swords in a river, the river life would be drawn to the Masamune and sliced up; the Murasame would gently repel the river life. Either legend or Final Fantasy Tactics (I think Tactics) says that the Masamune drank the blood of its victims. Which explains why SPOILER didn’t bleed when SPOILER but SPOILER bled when SPOILER. ^^;; Anyway, some dude in Tactics uses the Masamune too. It appeared in Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross as well, and I hear it’s in FF4 and FF10. I also found some reproductions of the actual Masamune online, but none of Sephiroth’s Masamune. ;_; So sad.

Now do ya’ll understand how pathetic I am? I know tons of useless trivia about FF7. Wanna know what the Shinra logo says? Look me up. Want info on Hojo’s experiments? Right here. Want to know about the Shinra mansion’s history? Yo. Want to know how many Cids there are? Word up, foo’. Wanna know Cloud’s psyche inside and out but got confused after the kid with black spiky hair showed up? You can get a giant rant from me that might make more sense than the game. ^^;; Wanna know all about the clones? You better believe I know all about that. And the rebellion in Wutai. And the extent of Shinra’s control. And what exactly Reeve is in charge of. Really, Urban Dev? When did the chair of Urban Dev have time to design a SPOILER? (Stupid censorship. XP Yeah, I know I’m doing it to myself. Whatever.) So my point was that I’m so obsessed that it’s sad, and ya’ll just never saw the extent of it before. Or if you did, you were polite enough to avoid mentioning it. ^^;;

And I have written far more than I thought I was going to and almost all of it is about obscure FF7 stuff, so off I go! Remember to volunteer to be a Turk. ^^;; If you can put up with my obsessiveness, that is…

Suddenly I want to go to a con as Rufus. This would not be a bad thing, so long as I had a Turk to go with me. Because I would feel very silly walking around in a white suit with gelled hair. And having someone else walking around in a suit (whether rumpled or otherwise) with me would do wonders for my self-esteem. Which, if I were to be in-character, (which I would have to be because I’m an obsessive fangirl) I would need much of. Of course I’m beautiful. I’m Rufus. *slicks back her hair with a toss of her head*

Heh heh heh. I love Black Mage. He’s so cool. *rereads the comic where BM beats/kills an old man and steals his ladder* Hee hee hee! No, Dad, I’m okay. Yes, really. Just laughing at an online comic. Hee hee!

*glomps Moony* YOU HAVE LAYERS?! I have no layers! I am pathetic! Pity the poor pathetic one! XD And if it’s not too much to ask, can I have a copy of the tape of that last concert? I keep forgetting to remind you… Ah, and if you don’t already know, the club T-shirts will be $16. We need the money ASAP cuz we hafta put down something like $140 up front. Blarg.

If ya’ll haven’t been to Mac Hall in the past two days or so, go. Ian’s vacation strips are worth it, if only for chibi Rush Limbaugh. Or Cthcththhhhclu or whatever his name is. Hee hee! Chibi demons!

Remind me to reschedule my shrink appointment. We missed it. -_-;;

Blargity blarg blarg blarg. Blarg. I am dead. x_x I woke up around 5 this morning for no apparent reason, which means I got six hours of sleep. I was up before the birds, darn it! And I like to get 10 hours of sleep, not 6. Blarg. Lack-of-sleep headache… And then I ate leftovers from Mum’s birthday dinner (which Dad cooked and it was delicious!) and now I’m thirsty so I’m gonna get something to drink. *considers getting up* …No, not quite yet. I’m not *really* thirsty. Really.

So this is yet another long, pointless entry. Makes me wonder why I blog at all. To tell the truth, I started it as a way to get more hits. ^^;; That’s what most add-ons to my page were for, really. But now that my counter is steadily increasing (who the $@)*#^ is visiting? I know you’re out there!) I feel no need for such silly things. My site is self-contained. No more webrings, no cliques, no guestbook, no polls, nada. Just me and my blog. Yessiree. And the biggest part of my page is the list of links, which needs to be updated. Le sigh.

So let’s talk Initial D. Initial D is wonderful. Good music, great cars, amusing characters, and the first volume of the English manga was delightful. The pages were unflipped, the sound effects were untouched, and it was just wonderful. The second volume was… I have no words. They changed the names. Butchered it. Murdered it with a butter knife. Tokyopop killed Initial D. I know I already posted this, but I urge you once more to sign the petition to stop this butchery. You know the English versions of Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon? Initial D still has a chance! Save Initial D!

That is all.
