If anyone from my family actually drops by to read this thing, keep in mind that anything negative said was written when I was extremely ticked off, and in no way reflects upon my actual opinions of you all. So please don't flip out and freak in my face.
The piccie to your left would be Seiten Taisei Son Goku. If you didn't already know that, I don't know what to say. The only way you could get here is through my ffnet account, and all my stuff there is Saiyuki related... Except the link in my friend's blog... Hm. I think I'll do a proper link to her blog now.
Junipertree's Blog
And here are the links to my archives.

Be amazed people, for I am blogging again. Sadly, I will no longer be blogging on this particular site. Why? I have come to the conclusion that PageBuilder hates my guts, and the feeling is mutual. As in if I could torture and murder a computer program, PageBuilder would be first to go.
To get to Katie's NEW wonderful livejournal account featuring an utterly Albeliscious background (which unfortunately is cut in half by the damn... text... box... thingy...?), just go to http://iceblitz.livejournal.com. And yes, I hate PageBuilder so damn much I'm not even going to bother making it instantly clickable or whatever the hell you wanna call it.
... What the hell. I will. It's the last damn official blog entry for this site anyways. Might as well make it look spiffy.
Anyways, this is probably NOT the end of this site COMPLETELY, I've somehow become quite attached to it. Despite my hatred of PageBuilder. And I can't take my fanlisting buttons with me to livejournal.com T.T and I DON'T want to get rid of them. They're my buttons. They're special. Yes, you heard me, Special. They show my allegiance to various characters and pairings through the use of pretty piccies. Anyways, the point is this site will not go completely Bye Bye, I just need to find a use for it. I've been thinking of hosting Fanfiction Limbo here (shameless self-insert plus OC wise-ass fairy with cameos from Jiroushin and Hakuryu as of chappie... I don't know what chappie it's on. The Saiyuki Boys'll make an appearance eventually.) as it's in script format and ffnet does Not Likey Script Format. Plus it's mostly just the fairy. And me, I guess. Or more accurately, iceblitz, the slightly-obssessive-yet-still-somehow-only-otaku-in-TRAINING fanfic author at ffnet who really likes to ramble in reviews (and I think Weird Out a few authors with her enthusiastic rambling... it's hard to tell sometimes). Another possible use for this site: put all my Creative Rantings up here and organize 'em. I could get away with callin' em essays I think, 'cause of the way I TRY and use logic to explain why I'm annoyed, but Creative Rantings is My Phrase. I'm trying to get it out there. I can't believe it hasn't been used more often.
... I don't suppose anyone's wondering WHY it took me so long to start blogging again? Anyone? All who would really care to know or that I would LIKE to know already got an idea sorta kinda so... meh. Let's see... uh... OK, Reason ONE: School came, hit me over the head, and demanded I pay attention to IT now. That was not the primary reason, but it CERTAINLY did NOT help.
Reason TWO:... I don't really wanna say. It wasn't the most pleasant moment of my life. Let's just say that a member of my family got upset when they thought I was telling more to complete strangers through my blog than I was to the family member in question (even though the only people who really read my blog are people I already KNOW and that most of this is just pure ramblings with a sprinkling of sense mixed in). Anyways, this little altercation/confrontation/whatever-the-hell-it-was left a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and basically kinda turned me against the blog kinda. The blog was supposed to relieve stress from all the little things in life and family that build up without an outlet, but instead it became the CAUSE of what it was supposed to AVOID. Or something like that. So that's when I first started to avoid the blog.
Reason THREE: No one ever said that Katie isn't a creature of Habit. By the time I actually wanted to blog again, (to imitate Kamio from Prince of Tennis) I was out of the Rhythm. Updating had become a chore, and my initial dislike for PageBuilder... blossomed, so to speak. About a month or two ago I joined some fanlistings, and added those lovely buttons up at the top, and that was about all the interaction I could stand with PageBuilder.
Reason FOUR:... After a certain point, more stuff had happened than could Possibly be caught up on.
But, after all this, I still missed blogging (spamming your ffnet profile with your daily doings just ain't the same). So I caved and went to livejournal to start afresh. At least now I might FINALLY be able to get into some of those fanfic authors' sites that are friend-locked... not to mention see the PICCIES at radiofreebanri...
... I think that's it. For what Katie's been doing in the last month, go to that site I linked near the beginning of this post. So... I guess this is it, till I figure out what I wanna officially do with this place. But for now, I am going to watch Prince of Tennis. This has not been a particulary jubilant post, and I want my happy buzz back.
So... yeah.

... I am bad. I have decided to push back my update for 'WMAE' from Sept. 10, to Sept. 12. It's just easier to update on a Monday after a whole WEEKEND of free time in which to write. Half an hour bursts just don't work well. Plus my birthday's on a Monday, but it's being celebrated Sunday, as my dad has a council meeting or some such think, so it'll be nice to update on Monday, as this is an entirely Me project. : )
Oh yeah, I'm also bad 'cause I'm not workin' on the fic tonight. I have been watching Bleach. Episode three was SAD. The kind of sad that makes people less in controll of their emotions (namely, me) cry. T.T But it's so GOOD! I think I'm glad I'm watching the anime before reading the manga. This way I don't know what happens next, so can fully experience the overall effect of the music, coloring, voice actors, etc. Things aren't nearly as sad if you know how they turn out.
There are two exceptions to this rule. The first is 'Titanic.' Groan if you will, but it's GOOD damnit. And it's sad each time you see it. The only reason I can watch it without crying now is that the last time I watched it was in pop choir class, and I didn't want the boys I LOATHED to see me cry.
The second exception is 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence.'... This movie capps even Titanic for sadness. Maybe even 'Armageddon' (wich I only watched once 'cause it was so frikken sad). Actually, if you cried the first watching of AI, you'll cry even more the second. Because you know all the things that happen, so you start crying before someone watching it the first time would. Evil anticipation. Seriously, you watch AI, you better either be a cynic, someone who can easily remember that it's JUST A MOVIE, or have a box of tissues on hand. You'll need them.
And I think I'm gonna stop writing now, after I check out my downloads. I figured out how to wiggle out of the compy curfew. If I have a download running all I have to do is turn the creen off, go to my room and write and stuff, then turn the comp off before I actually sleep. I may actually get the Saiyuki OVAS this way! Come on Bearshare! Be nice tonight!
leaving now.

(This blog is being updated on the 16th actually, it's taken me so frikken long. Anyways, For the freewriting assignment we had in Writing, I ended up sayin' some stuff that's blog-worthy. So that's what I'm posting. If anything seems cut off, it's probably 'cause I haven't finished updating yet. Or I've ended up cutting stuff out to save space based on the assumption that everybody knows what I'm talkin' about. If you don't (which probably means Gramma) ask. Oh yes, this was written IN class, not just as homework)
Know what? This entry is too frikken long, rambles on about nothing for pages upon pages, and I don't feel like editting out all the chaff to get to what I WANTED to say. So it's not going up. I will use the time I could've used to do this entry to work on more recent ones.
