Rain... Rain... Some more rain..
It's raining like there's no tomorrow. It began just like that, out of the blue. There will be a nice little lake on our lawn in the matter of minutes..

24 wine glasses and 10 wine bottles were found from our kitchen after last night. It was raining last night too, so we didn't go to play baseball. Instead we just stayed inside and those old enough and willing (read: everyone but me, my brother and his 'boyfriend') decided to taste wines. Everyone had fun. The karaoke DVD my brother and I bought for daddy-o was in use. Bro and his 'boyfriend' sang few truly touching songs. They both can sing, but they also can sing in a very soft voices and stare at each other in a way that can not be mistaken to anything else than what it is. That did not make any sense. Yeah, anyhow. We all had fun and everyone is still alive and well. As I said, it was just wine 'tasting'. ^^

I put my Gl�hen fic, Past Forgotten, Past Denied, to both ff.net and Anime Rakuen. Apparently there aren't many people reading Gl�hen fics in ff.net or then it's just otherwise dead place since I only got one review in one night... It was a nice review though. It made sense and was pretty much what a review should be like. True, being a Leo and a self-absorbed prick that I am, I enjoy the ones that simply cherish my writing and such, but I like the ones with criticism (most likely misspelled that one) too.

I had an odd dream.. In the yard of the kindergarden I went to sometime way back when were the Saiyuki boys. That's about what I remember about it anymore. But it was odd..
Which reminds me... I want to have the Saiyuki Reload mangas. And see the series/movie. I read some manga-translations yesterday and let's just say that I need to have the manga in order to keep my sanity. Oh, well my Saiyuki mangas 1 & 2 should arrive sometime during next week. Yay!! Then we will be going to Stockholm again in September the 5th and I get to buy some DVDs... Hm.. At least two Wei� Kreuz DVDs will leave with me. After paying for the Saiyuki mangas I will have about 60 euros left to spend and if I get lucky I manage to make my parents to buy me something from there... I'm cruel.

Maki - "Truly Rare"

What would your Japanese name be? (female)
brought to you by Quizilla
Wasn't Maki the name of the girl Yotan saves in the Wei� Kreuz episode three? Yes, I think she was Maki. *beam* Hehe..

Daddy-o's birthday. My brother and I bought him a lovely Kareoke DVD. He is a karaoke addict. And besides we didn't want to spend our money for a acoord-playing manual.. ^^ Our father is an odd personality. Much like my brother and I. I'm the diva, willing to be in the spotlight and always seraching for my chance. And my brother.. Drummer, big hair, looks like Kurt Cobain and will make it to the top, if you ask me. Their band is good.

Guests will be coming sometime in the evening and we'll head to play baseball. That is a tradition. We will conquer a baseball fiel nearby and play just for the heck of it. True, I am not a fan of the particular sport (mostly because I have been hit by the ball twice - my forehead and chest - and that hurt) but it really si fun to play with the friends of my parents. Yeah...

I have had this image of Aya in my head since last night, and I can't put my finger to the source of it. I really should go and draw it.. Does this mean Mister Inspiration has returned? If so then: YAY!!!!!!

Animatrix was good. Really good atually. So was 8 Mile. Not that I really ever doubted that. Yes, I do like Eminem's beats. Every now and then. Not a fan, but I like them. The variety of music I listen to is... well... I listen to alot of music. Different kinds. From rap to classical. Yeah.. Ahem.. *cough*
But not those damn female R&B Supahstahz who have practically no clothing on and who rub themselves agains shiny cars/yo-yo cool-man rapperz. No No No.

Yeah.. That's it for today's rant.. I should do my homework..

Mr. I is still on his merry way.. Cruel thing he is.. *glares*
A new layout, if you didn't notice. Simplistic, but all I can come up with without my dear Mr. I. *sigh*
Aya and Yoji entered my head again at the same class they did before. Try to write about books when you have lemony images going around in your head with 'Perfect Stranger' playing in the background... A little relief when I got back home, though. I read some loooong smutlet from mm.org.. Yeah, it wasn't that well written and the plot (there was one..!) was poor, but the hell.
I'm off to watch Animatrix.

Longing?
My Mr. Inspiration has gone off to vacation with Twinkie's Mr. Homosexual Muse. The both of them have refused to return. They shall receive a real beating when they do. Or maybe they won't. That might drive them away, again..

I am very irritated by my English teacher. I know, I do have a habit of trying to make every English teacher I have, like me, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult this time. First of all, I pronounce better than she does. That, if something, is a great way to rid students' respect. I don't know what accent she tries to kick, but I know that she over-emphazises the ends overy word in a very annoying manner. Secondly, she was shocked (if that is quite the way to describe it) to notice that I use 'American' words, such as... well, cell-phone, for example. It seemed like she jumped out of her skin when I blurted out the word 'cell-phone' sometime during a class. *sigh* I will just have to bear, I guess..

French is a difficult language. Je ne parlez pas francais. I think that I am good at learning new languages, but, gosh, French will most likely be an exception. It's pretyy damn hard to spell the language, let alone pronounce it. I speek with a hideous nasal voice, when pronouncing French. I am receiving amused grins because of that.. And besides, I have a bad way to mix up Spanish with French, which is slightly odd, since I have never in my life studied Spanish more than one or two chapters from a learn-yourself-book. Life is bizarre.

I was watching one of VH1's Rise and rise of... documentaries again. This one was about Madonna. Once again, it made me think that I should start making my career as soon as possible. Yeah, yeah.. Dreamer.. Always will be, even though I try to deny t..

Disturbing mental images
Disturbing mental images kept haunting me for the last two lessons today. Let's just say that it began from 'Fury' (the new friend of mine) asking me to bring her some of the lemon-fics I have printed. And things inside my head ensued. It was really difficult trying to concentrate with Aya and Yoji trying to distract me from the highly important subject... *glares*

I, once again, read some fanfic-writers' livejournals and bumped into an interesting rant in nekojita's journal. The anti-RanKen rant. I am so damn glad that some other people see the same things I do. The fact that somebody else is sick and tired of RanKen being shoved down their throat on WKML... It's absolutely true, that there are no canon-pairings in either Wei� Kreuz or Gl�hen. It's all hinted (most likely intentionally, since TK loves money and hinted shounen-ai is a great way to make more cash) and just as nekojita said, against all the supposedly obvious RanKen moments there are at least as many AxY/YxA moments, too. If you ask me to point out one, I would suggest the episodes 11 and 12 of Gl�hen. Of course, at this the RanKen-shippers would start screaming 'THE AIRPORT SCENE!!!!!111' A quote from nekojita here (sue me if it's illegal to use it): "I just don't see much on Aya's part at the airport scene. He stares at Ken and then walks away. That's romantic?" Indeed. The everlasting pairing war will never be won by anyone but at least we proud AxY/YxA-fans can say, that we keep our opinions mostly to ourselves and don't shove them down other people's throats. I can only imagine the flaming that would ensue if I, for example, began telling the RanKen-fans that they are wrong.
Personal opinions... Can't be argued.

Wai!
Got a .mpg converter and have been converting my .avi video files to .mpg and then burning them to video cd. The image quality is amazing, even in a wide screen TV. ^^ That announcement sounded more nerdy than anything I have ever said.

Yesterday I was called 'the coolest chick of them all'. I don't know if there was a mockering sound in it, but I took it as a compliment, anyhow. Anything to increase my ego. ^.~

Found a new frien to join the anime-addicts club. I knew she was into anime, I recognized it immediately from her drawing style, but she had no idea that I was an addict too. So, in the Englis lesson on Thursday when we were supposed to get to know each other and tell about our hobbies and such, I mentioned anime and manga. I think her expression was pretty priceless. ^^ That was it. There was no need for further 'my name is this and that and I love this and this'. An anime fan will find another anime fan, and there will immediately be a connection. We've know for two days and we already chat like we had known for an eternity. It's nice to make new friends. Last new friend I've made was Twinkie and that was about two years ago.. o_O

I was supposed to write something else too... Damn the terrible memory.. Oh, yeah. I can't believe my luck lately. Today, after I had watched the six anime music videos I put on a vcd today, I turned to MTV and exactly that moment on came Japan Top 5. I recognized three of the artists. One of the recognized ones Japanese. The other two were Evanescence (don't bite me for typing it wrong. It's terrible to pronounce, let alone write) and that some stupid rap-yo-man and Beonce� Knowles (or something, not into that kind of music..). The Japanese artist was Ayumi Hamasaki and now I have a huge urge to listen to J-pop and J-rock. Next up is Dir En Grey and Bottom of the Dead Valley. Then X-Japan's Rose of Pain. The title reminded me of Fujimiya Ran *cough* so I just had to load it. Yes, bad me, loading music off the internet.. What can you do when you live in the middle of nowhere with no way to get -pop/J-rock Cds..

Okay.. How many songs does X-Japan fit into one CD? If Rose of Pain is over 11 minutes long and (from what I know) most of their songs are around five or six minutes.. *shrug* Yeah..

SAIYUKI RELOAD WILL AIR IN JAPANESE TELEVISION THIS OCTOBER! I would not have know this unless I was a curious person with no life what-so-ever, and read Babaca's livejournal. It was good news. Really good news. What is even better, is that I'm in no hurry to get the Reloaded thing. I still am 18 episodes short on the first series. ^^ That means I have 32 eisodes. o_O*** Good God..

Wai!
I just ordered Saiyuki 1 & 2. Yay! They'll arrive in ten days. ^__________^

School's better than I expected. The teachers are really great personalities (Including various kinds of mental disorders. I did this diagnose.) and I've had a pretty damn good luck with all my courses. Even though the lessons are 75 minutes each they go by like the 45 minute-ones I've gotten used to, mostly because of the teachers and their lectures. ^^ I mean.. Our math teacher (either schizophrenic or then just otherwise wacko) was telling us how she relaxes after school (drinking coffee, ignoring the telephone..) and then she blurted out: "And then I take my turtle out and we run few times around the house." We all just stared and the laughed. She smiled like a real crazy professor.

Art tomorrow. I heard from Twinkie, that the first lesson assignment is to draw a love/break-up letter. Draw, not write. I know that if I start planning it beforehand, we will not do the same assignment..

Yeah, I'll now start waiting for muh Saiyukis. ^^

Back to school...
School starts again, tomorrow. I am tired as hell. I want to sleep.. *cough* I wrote a post-Gl�hen angst-fic this morning. I was listening to Savage Garden and the inspiration just hit me. Yay..
My whole body screams for sleep. It apparently has acknowledged the fact that soon I won't be able to sleep the same twelve hours per night anymore.. I have to be up at 6.01 AM (Yes, 6.01, it's a routine I've gotten used to..) and in school most likely sometime around eight.
Sleep..
I think I'll go to sleep..

Geo has a hiccup. I did manage to code the new layout (started last night and at 1 AM decided to go to bed and finish it in the morning) but due that little hiccup the site isn't availible for a while. Darn.


"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

Twinkie was complaining about a self portrait I have in my MSN Messenger. She told me that it is unnatural and that my hair grows too high in my head. Well, she was apparently begging for a better picture.. ^^ I took all my Paint skills forth and did a wonderful Self Portrait. Over-done? What do you mean over-done? Sure, I have a thick, naturally flaming red hair and deep green eyes. And of course I always wear pink lipstick and walk with a pink background behing me. *nod nod*

Went to buy new schoolbooks today. Ugh.. my backbag feels so much heavier with books in it. Logical. It smells like Fall oudoors. Not that I didn't like Fall. It is my second favourite (if not favourite) season after Spring, but when it smells like Fall, it means that School will start (Only five days! *dies*) and that Winter is lurinking somewhere behind the nearest corner. And we all know what winter does to me. Not good. And Winter always seems to be the the longest of the four seasons. Perhaps it is completely because of what Wnter does to me. Logical. Again. ^^*

Yeah.. Perhaps I really should get the hell away from the computer. Been sitting here way too long today.. Yeah.. *is off...almost*

[Later that evening, nearly the next day]
I am itching to make a new layout for my personal website. I just made a really cool one with PhotoDraw, starring a very bloody Sanzo, his gun and reversed colors. I am loving it to teeny tiny bits at the moment. I actually changed this journal's layout just because I didn't want to mess with my website's just yet. I mean, I did a new layout for it exactly a month ago. I can't possibly change it yet. Or can I? It would seem quite logical to change the layout every month. But then again, I don't think it is very wise after all. Actually the Sanzo one was the second layout I scribbled today. The previous one starred Mr. Fujimiya Ran and reversed colors. Except that I think that the Ran-one (what a wonderful word, Ran-one) was a wee bit tacky. Not that the Sanzo-one isn't gory and done three billion times, but I still like it. Besides, it's very different from any of the layouts I've had. And believe me, there've been many. Most of them done in five minutes or so. What am I babbling about here? I should just Do the damn layout and not mope here. (Over-use of the word 'here' can be seen here..^^') Should I or shouldn't I? Wait a second, I'll go get my dear magic eight-ball!! ^^V
[Exactly 54 seconds later]
Now, let's ask the eight-ball, shall we?
*Holds up the ball*
Should I change the layout of my website?
*shakes the ball* 'Too early to predict'
This is exactly what I hate about this thing. No exact answers.. Let's try again, maybe we can tear a decent answer now...
Should I change the damn layout of my website?
*shakes the ball again*
'You can count on it'
What the hell is that supposed to mean? I swear, this ball hates me.. One last try.
The layout? Should I change it?
*shakes the ball very violently*
'Looking good'
I know I am, how about giving me a proper answer!
'Absolutely not'
Why do I feel disappointed by this reply? Am I becoming a real nerd who enjoys spending her time staring at the computer screen and typing something a normal human-being is not able to understand?
Dammit, the old layout must go.. ^^;;;;

Tired.. So very tired.. *yawn*
I went to sleep sometime around 3 AM last morning..

Animecon was really great. I think the best part was that I really, really finally felt like I wasn't completely out of place in where I was. ^^V It felt nice.
So, what'd I see? Two Shuichis from Gravitation (the other one of them had the whole Gravitation gang with 'him'), some character from Tokyo Mew Mew, a couple of characters I didn't really recognize, Ashitaka from Mononoke Hime, Kenshin, Kikyo from Inuyasha, Sanzo and Gojyo (they were together!! ^^V), Aya, Omi, Schuldig and Nagi.. On and on and on..

I demanded that we'd go to see the Cosplay performance contest (they had two entr�s..). Well, we did. The first show was traditional (like I've seen too many of them.. >_<) Gravitation "Yuki's mine!!!!" thing... The second.. Well..
There was Aya, who had Omi in a chain... And then there was Schuldig with Nagi in a chain... Their costumes really were cool, believe me, but the show.. *shudder* was good, but caused me traumas. Let's just say that the basic idea was that 'Aya' was singing and the others played guitars (Omi had a pink one.. ^^) and sometime during the show.. Well.. *traumatized* 'Aya' and 'Omi' did.. magical things.. *shudder* And Omi and Schu.. And Aya and Schu.. (Poor Nagittchi didn't get any..) Yes, for a rabid AxY fangirl it was somewhat disturbing, but the show was brilliant and their costumes were great and so I gladly (?) gave my vote to them. Their performance ran in my head for the rest of the day. Non-stop. Especially the.. odd.. parts..

Yeah... I bought Gundam Wing DVD (I still haven't gotten tired to the series. And besides, the DVD really was good. Episodes 41 to 45) and a Digimon manga. The latter one I just had to buy, because I could. There wasn't too much anything that I would have wanted, so My money was not entirely spent. Twinkie, instead. Bough four mangas; 2 Sorceror Hunters, Fushigi Y�gi #2 and the Digimon manga.

I am all Animecon now. I really wish I could have stayed there longer... It was simply the athmosphere here that made me wanna stay. The fact that we laughed at the same things and such was just too delicious to let go. I sound overly dramatical when I say that I actully felt like belonging with those people, but that's the way it is.

In the morning, I first woke up at 7 when Twinkie's dog came around and tried to get in to the room but I was too tired to open the door for him. Then, sometime around 9 he came back and cuddled up next to me and began licking my face. Thta was when I decided to wake up. Few moments later Twinkie came into the room, sounding really tired and mumbled something about FanFiction.net removing her 'Random' and asking if I could come and explain her what the e-mail they had sent really meant.
Then we ate toast and I drank orange juice and once I felt I was awake enough I jumped into a bus and drove home, only to find out that our damn ADSL wasn't working. It took lots of tinkering to get it back to life...

Now I would love to watch Saiyuki 23, which I have manged to get for 73%'s worth, byt DivX won't play it before it's complete and the stupid Real Player dies every time I try to watch the video.. Life's a bitch.


You are Kyou.

Still mel~ti~ng...
Goddammit it is friggin' HOT! Why can't the wether coold own a bit? Why? Why?! Whyyyyy??!! *cough*

It'll be pure hell to sit in a bus for three hours tomorrow if the weather is like this. Luckily we will be leaving at 6.45 AM, so, I hope, it won't be that hot... To talk about the Animecon itself. I've tried to find out if they have air-conditioning there. They are insane if they don't.

Twinkie has made me watch Fruits Basket. It's a miracle that I actually find it pretty enjoyable. Nothing to do with the fact that it has some really prettypretty bishounen (Hatsuharu *drooooool* Kyo *drooooool*).

Yeah.. Boring.. My brain's mush. Has something to do with the weather, I assure you. Typing, even, is unpleasant to do because I feel how the droplets of nasty sweat fall down my back. Ugh..
