Happy Halloween!

So there’s one vote for Fuujin, two votes for ???. What does ??? mean? I just put it there to show that I want more names to choose from. ^^;; And the problem with naming him Fuujin is that he’s a male mouse and they most certainly do not match personality-wise. He’s rather clingy.

Geo, your knowledge of verb conjugation is far more extensive that mine. I’ve never read anything about it in my grammar books. Adjectives, however, I have decently covered. ^^;; I need to expand my vocab… Anyway, anything you can tell me about conjugating verbs will please me.

Yesterday I got the urge (fends off Herbal Essences people) to revamp the blog again with a Subaru/Seishirou layout. Someone slap me, please. ^^;;

Xd *slurp!*

My mousie is a shoulder mousie! He seems to like roaming around my shoulders and curling up on the back of my neck. He’s so sweet! I like having him around. He’s smaller than a rattie, so he can’t wander as much, but he’s very personable and cute. He makes little squeaky sounds as he walks, and he’s just heavy enough for me to know where he is, but I’m kinda worried about the squeaking. He sneezes a lot, too. But he’s a cute little one-eyed mousie! XD He still has no name. I found out that Neechan does, in fact, know the other person with one eye I was referring to, so the list of possible names are as follows:

Fuujin
Subaru
Rufus
???

Hee, he tickles.

Okay, so. Other than the mouse, I have little to say again. I have yet to make nikuman, I have no plans for Halloween, I have no candy, school is an eternal strain, and yet I’m fairly happy. Illogical but pleasing. I should visit Steph-san and try to cheer her up. We can discuss a Shadow of Destiny sequel! And play DW3! And stuff like that. Cuz I don’t really care about Halloween, but she seems to be down because she has nothing to do this year… I wonder if we can find a haunted house on short notice?

I need to get a bigger vocabulary in Japanese. Then I’ll be able to read more! And I need to learn about conjugating verbs. That baffles me. Hee, the mousie is trying to build a nest out of my hair.

I thougt it might be a good idea to post again. If I didn’t, then I’d follow my old paths. I don’t really have anything to say, except it’s way to early to be awake, and I hate typing. Blarg. Need to go write music…

I have a one-eyed mouse! He’s the cutest little thing, all tan and adorable. The ladies at Petco like me now, cuz I bought him so he’d have a nice home even though he has one eye. ^.^ And he’s friendly! This is unusual in mice from petstores. He’s SO CUTE!

I need to think of what to name him. I would call him Fuujin, but there’s that small matter of gender. Other possibilities include Seishirou, Xiahou Dun, and one other I can’t name because Neechan doesn’t know about it. Mrr. But he’s so cute! And cuddly! And I want to give him a nice name. Maybe I’ll call him Rufus for no apparent reason.

Okay, responses to comments:

Steph-san: In character designs, the hair. Sirius (in his prime) would have hair like that. I’m sure I can do weird correlations between their personalities, but I really don’t know that much about Zhou Yu. ^^;; I know more about Zhau Yun, methinks.

Moony: You should hear their Japanese voices. ^^;; Oh, the German ones were funny too. Muraki was hilarious, though. His voice is as sexy in English as it is in Japanese, and his accent is actually very light, but he pauses in an odd spot and his cadence is delightfully strange. Now, Tsuzuki has Bad English Skills. He’s sitting there whining about how the guards refuse to speak Japanese, and then Muraki steps in… Hee! It’s great. I need to buy the fansubs of YnM sometime, instead of relying on the crappy .avi files.

I have a one-eyed mouse! XD You all have no idea how much I’ve wanted to have a one-eyed creature. That little cutie is gonna be loved to pieces. ^.^ He’s so cute!

Today was very entertaining. I introduced two guys to X. Hee hee. One of them wasn’t so sure he liked it after seeing why we call Fuuma the Big Gay Evil, but the other guy thought it looked neat. ‘Specially when I got into explaining Subaru and Seishirou’s backstory. XD

So, um, moo. I have few things to say. We decided that Tree-san is either a Pin Cherry or a Fire Cherry. I’m leaning towards Fire Cherry because it sounds cooler. ^.^

What else… My right arm is sore from orchestra. We played Sine Nomine, which we didn’t do last time, and I throw myself into that song. Almost literally. The creshendos swell like you wouldn’t believe, and then we drop down to pianissimo. Sweetness.

A long time ago, I discovered that searching on Google for fanfics is a Very Bad Idea. Trash, usually. But if you want to find half-way decent Yami no Matsuei fics, search for Muraki. I found a few neat little things while looking for Muraki pictures.

Speaking of Muraki, I tried to watch more YnM yesterday. Note the “tried”. This is because the files are *BLEEEEP* and make the video painfully slow while the audio goes along at the regular pace. This means I turn off the audio and just wait through the video. So I was watching, and then the English subtitles were replaced with Japanese. I boggled, then started reading the Japanese subtitles. ^^;; Then I realized that Japanese subtitles means they’re speaking English, found that spot on the audio, and listened to it.

Muraki + English = scary.

That is all.

I’m posting twice because Neechan is unable to post today, and because I have that much to say. Neechan’s off driving people long distances, in case you were worried.

First, the other day I was displaying my new pants to neechan and Elise and was whining about how I feel exposed when wearing normal pants which stay close to my skin. Thus the statement “I feel safe in my bondage pants!” was born.

Second, I am told there is Trick-Or-Treating tomorrow night, 6-8, in case Steph-san and Neechan are interested. I think it’s tomorrow. I could be wrong.

Third, I am cold. I rarely admit to being cold, and technically I’m not *cold*, just mildly chilled, but it isn’t going away and thus I find it unpleasant. I exude amounts of body heat that tend to warm the air two inches around my in midwinter, so being cold is unusual. I am famous for wearing T-shirts while making snow forts. XD Or if I’m not, I should be. Darn fun, that is.

Fourth: “I shall end with a question for Lisette: if the Dynasty Warriors 3 characters were going to dress up for Halloween, what costumes do you think they would choose?”

Steph-san, you know I don’t know all the DW3 characters, but I’ll try my best to think of bunches. And odd things for them to dress as.

Cao Cao: Rubber ducky
Xiahou Dun: Farfarello?
Zhang He: giant pink bunny
Xu Zhu: nikuman
Sima Yi: …um. I’ll have to think more.
Sun Ce: the tower of Piza
Sun Quan: a box of Pocky
Zhou Yu: Sirius Black (I find the resemblance striking)
Taishi Ci: a geek
Gan Ning: Santa!
the Qiaos: cheerleaders
Lu Xun: a bellydancer XD
Liu Bei: a cafeteria lady
Guan Yu: a monkey!
Wei Yan: a clown
Pang Tong: …
Huang Zhong: Gandalf
Zhao Yun: Um.
Ma Chao: …Um.
Zhuge Liang: … …Um.
Zhang Jiao: a Twinkie
Lu Bu: God

There ya go! They suck, I know, but it was split-second decisions. Give me a while to think of something really good for the Fan Boys.

And if you were wondering about the box of Pocky, it’s because of the striking resemblance between Pocky and a quiver of arrows. XD

I fed Tree-san. I get the distinct impression that Tree-san is rather fond of me. This is vaguely disturbing. Then again, I have Schuldig and Reno living together in an apartment in my head. Blarg.

Speaking of which, expect the fic update to my page fairly soon, aka in the next month. I think I’ve finished most everything that is asking to be updated. “Circle of Nine” is finished, the Sorceress story is being revised but is well on its way to a decent second draft, “Plugging In” is as done as it ever will be… I should post more fics than that, though. I might add a “draft” section of stuff I started which will never be completed, such as this weird little Weiss Kreuz tidbit in which Yoji and Omi try to assemble a computer and Ken shows off his stuff. XD Or something. As long as no one wants me to post my Gundam Wing stuff, my really old FF7 stuff, or any of the really icky stuff… I’ll be set. I might re-post my humor fics, like “A Chick Named Bozo” and POSSIBLY the Unnamed Gundam Wing Fic. Ah, how I despise that thing. ^^;;

And in case anyone cares, a reminder that “Lost and Found” can also be found in a back-issue of Nekkyo Zone. It used to also be on Sephiroth’s Sand Castle, but that site which I worship so is long gone. *makes an offering*

I was working on the Sorceress fic last night. Didn’t actually write anything, but I drastically changed the plot. ^^;; I still dunno where it’s going or how to end it, but I’m busy playing with the society I created. Combining Final Fantasies 7-10 is easier than it seems; just focus on 7 and 8, figure out a way to combine the magic systems, and you’re set. Then borrow place names from the others. Good as gold, ne? ^.^ Or something. Most of what I know about the culture is from Kitin’s boring classes where this old fart gives history lessons. Yeah, I made up a history too, and it’s demanding a map. Geo-political stuff, you know. (I stink at politics, so be prepared. ^^;; )

This entry is way too long. It is ending now.

Um… Wow. Lots of comments. I am pleased, to say the least. More like estatic. And that word is spelled wrong, and I can’t find the right spelling. Grr. But anyway, I have lots of comments! Yay!

Geo: Minor but constant. I’ll live, but I’m in a rather constant state of annoyance. ^^;; I’ve tried to get people to comment by blogging about lack of comments before, and it hasn’t really worked. Not to this extent, anyhow.

Moony: For shame! Just as I came to depend on you. XD Just kidding.

Paddy: It scares you? How on earth could Oriya scare you? He’s so pretty!

Nicole: I’m a test result! Squee! XD She shoulda called me Zack, though. Confuse the masses, use multiple online names. XD

Becca: …There was a birthday party? *vaguely tries to remember* Um, nope, no memory. ^^;; But I know you’re my #1 Screaming Fangirl, so it all works out. Or something. Moo.

Jep: Yeah, yeah, and your horse is a pickle. XD Nah, I couldn’t stop posting if I tried. Good form of stress release.

Speaking of stress release, I have vowed to avoid falling asleep with a full tummy again. I had really, really scary dreams last night and ended up waking at 1am in a complete panic. And then I was too scared to go wake up Dad, cuz the hallway is dark and I’m afraid of the dark, so I was just lying there in bed imagining horrible things. ^^;; I eventually calmed myself by thinking up a FF8 fanfic involving chromosomes. Don’t ask. ^^;;

So, um, dingy. XD I have a warm jacket. This pleases me. I also have lots of manga. This also pleases me. Someday I will count my manga. Then I will boggle at how much money I spent on it all and wonder what I’m willing to sell. Then I will unload all the English-language stuff on unknowing anime fans. XD Or something.

So my Civ teacher likes me, apparently. He says I was the closest in the class to figuring out the best solution to the problem we had to play through in class. Meh heh heh. He kept saying stuff like “Lisette almost had all the pieces connected, unlike the rest of you” and “Lisette had the right idea but she wasn’t very vocal about it so no one paid any attention” and I was very pleased, because I have a big ego. So I sat there looking smug, and I expect the class will get me back for it soon. We’re like that. Close-knit, opinionated, and eeeevil. I love that class.

Weasley gave me a chocolate-covered cherry today. She has wormed her way into my black little heart.

So that’s about it for today. I gotta go feed Tree-san. I like Tree-san. He likes me, too. He tried to eat Padfoot the other day. XD I cheered.

I really like this layout. But I haven’t gotten many comments lately… Moony is supposed to comment frequently, but I must assume that she hasn’t gotten to her pooter lately. Geo commented. Steph-san is sick and her Internet is whacked. Shan-san doesn’t usually comment. Nat has ceased to exist, or so it seems. ^^;; Nick doesn’t comment, Chibi-kun rarely comments, aaaand… Paddy has no Internet. So that’s all the people who comment. I think this is my cue to insist that no one else reads my blog and thus there is no point in posting anymore, but I enjoy babbling randomly to the world. Plus, my page gets lots of hits and I don’t know why or where from, so I usually assume that the people are from Google or my blog. Yanno, my blog rates really high in Google searches and I have no idea why. I hear high Google ratings means lots of people link to you, but I’ve never found anyone that does so. Even when I ask Google to find sites that link to me. Bizarre, ne?

So, enough of my self-esteem. Tonight my uncle visits! Yay! I wanna grow up to be as funny as he is. Dad cringes whenever I say that. XD Really, Uncle Bob (name changed to protect privacy! XD ) is the most hilarious person I know. His puns can stoop so low, you never see them coming. Hee hee! Banter is fun.

My page is so pretty. I can stare at it for long periods of time. Doesn’t he have nice hair? He has incredibly broad shoulders, though.

Someone remind me why I’m suddenly alone with Grandma. Oh, right, horse show. Just keep sharp objects away from me and I’ll be fine.

Alright, so the picture of Muraki’s eye doesn’t match the layout. It has color; the layout has none. But I had to have Muraki around somehow, and Neechan didn’t let me use his eye in the last layout. XP So there!

I am totally babbling. I know I am. But I’m still half-asleep, as usual, and I have nothing to say because life is boring. Um, except that I ordered Yami no Matsuei. Not all of it, mind you, but a decent hunk. If I end up owning that picture of Muraki sparkling, I will cry. ^^;;;

So, how do ya’ll like the new layout? I’d like to know who prefers this one and who prefers the Tsuzuki-kitty layout.

Info: This is Oriya. Use the picture and die, because I spent all afternoon editing him. ^^;; As I gather, he’s Muraki’s only friend and he’s the owner of a brothel and he’s darn good with a katana. I have a Winamp skin of him called Devil’s Advocate, which I find amusing. These facts, combined with his usual attaire, lead to the weird words on the sidebar and such. I like Oriya, for some reason. He’s weird. And he has a funny pipe. And that weird mask shows up in 2 out of 3 pictures of him. And this is just a short blog to let ya’ll know about the revamp, so I’m gone.

Halloween is very soon. Steph-san, if you still want to go to some little town to trick-or-treat, we should plan that now. ‘Specially since I still need to get a ninja outfit and a monkey mask. I think there’s a special Halloween store at one of the malls…

So, um, thingy. And stuff. I re-read Stained Glass Windows last night while listening to my brand-new CD (which I burned) which has an odd mix of music. Including the Dragonball Z parody I so adore. So then I fell asleep, and I slept rather sporadically. I know I woke up several times during the night, but then I woke up at 7 and couldn’t go back to sleep. Grr. I’m tired, darn it.

I vaguely remember Steph-san linking to something in her blog that made my head explode. This might have something to do with my inability to think.

I also decided that while this layout is nice, I’m not particularly fond of it. I’m gonna try to find Muraki pictures so I can try a new layout. *Googles* …Muraki LTD.? I am frightened. *redefines search* Muraki avec des roses. I can deal with foreign languages, really. ACK!! Muraki doing bishounen sparkly things! *dies*

Anyone got a Phoenix Down?
