Uwark...>_<
Well...only three people ended up voting for the new main page layout. *grumbles*
I don't particularly like it, to be quite honest, but I wanted to honor your opinions. So you have Lain now. On two pages. *sweatdrop*
There's a three way tie on the poll for this section's March layout between 'characters from the Final Fantasy series', 'Aya/Ran/Abyssinian from Wei� Kreuz', and 'doesn't matter'. (Why did I put that one up as a choice? *sweatdrops*) Please go vote and break the tie. I have layouts in mind for each of the choices, so it really doen't matter. (71% of you want another iframes layout ^.^)
Well, I need to go...do something...u_u;

NEECHAN'S BACK! <3 I've been so worried about you! *starts to go into lecture mode, but doesn't* I'm just glad that you're okay.
I wouldn't worry about it. Mein Vater wants me to be Dana Scully from the X-Files. ^.^;;; Yeah, I'm trying to accomplish that, but I don't really expect to. What matters is that you're happy with whatever you decide to do. They're not going to be around for ever.
Family honor means a lot in my family too. Mein Gro�vater came from Czechoslovakia, so education means a lot to him. It means a lot to the whole family. I worry about what'll happen if I fail. (I really HATE failure) But if I'm miserable, there's no point in continuing what made me feel that way, so I decided to take my own path. (I think Gro�vater and Gro�mutter wanted me to be a doctor...) I'm not a people person, so I'm going into Forensic Science (hopefully forensic psychology, but whatever). It's a medical profession that doesn't require me to deal with complaining people all the time.
That made absolutely no sense whatsoever, did it? *sweatdrop* Gomen...
I guess I'll stop babbling. Just get to feeling better, okay? Take out your frustrations on Yotan and Ayan like I did! XD

*sighs* Well, I've gotten two votes for the main page layout. Voting closes Wednesday. Vote by going to the main page or the opinions page.
I just spent an hour coloring plant and animal cells. �_�; I'm not amused with the world at the moment, needless to say.
Why is it that only two people (one being my editor) like Chosen? Should I just give up on that one and concentrage fully on What It Would Be Like? *sighs*
I need to find Makoto and ask if she'd like to write another article sometime.
Well, I don't have any neat links, quizzes, or pictures...or even strange stories. Guess I'll go answer that last page...

Fact of the moment: Kurai cannot cook.
While ranting my heart out on the opinions page, I decided that I wanted oatmeal. (Yes, at 21:45 I wanted oatmeal, so sue me.) I informed my grandmother of this fact, but she was on the phone. When she's on the phone, there's no getting her off. So I set about to making my own oatmeal like I did this morning at 08:20. (Why I was up that early, I'm not exactly sure.) The senario went like this:
Kurai: *stares into boiling, steaming pot and raises eyebrow* [out loud to herself] Is oatmeal supposed to sizzle?
Pot of oatmeal: *bubbles and sizzles before sending a clump flying at Kurai's head*
Kurai: *dodges the clump of oatmeal and stares into the pot again* Guess not. *grabs the nearby gallon of milk and pours a bit into the pot to make it stop sizzling and boiling*
*sweatdrop* There you have it. Kurai's adventures in cooking. This process repeated itself several times before I finally decided that it was done. Then you had this senario:
Kurai: *playing with/eating her oatmeal* I don't think it's supposed to roll into balls. *shrugs and eats it anyway*
Kurai's Obaachan: *comes in after hanging up the phone and stares* I thought you were going to make oatmeal.
Kurai: *holds up a ball in her spoon* This IS oatmeal.
Obaachan: Could have fooled me. *goes to survey the damage done to her kitchen*
^.^;;;
On a less humorous side, go take the poll for the new main page layout. It can be found on the main page or the opinions page.

*bows* Before I even start, I'd like to apologize. That having been said, I'd like to present my problem: I think my editor has shipped off to PT or whereever. u_u; Either that or she's hiding from me, whichever. In either case, I really need to find someone who's read What It Would Be Like and is willing to read a ROUGH draft of chapter five and tell me what they think. Just let me know if you're up to it...Onegai?
Also, should I submit my stories to FanFiction.net or should the public not be exposed to the monstrosities? Again, let me know what you think.
Thanks to everyone who reads this.

*growls* The ice has melted off my road. School will undoubtedly commense tommorow. >_< *rage*
On the lighter side of life, I was looking through Duo's blog and found the bishounen test. Needless to say, this didn't help my mood. I'm not a jerk, am I?
What type of Bishounen are you? Find out at artificial-soul.net by Rin.
See what I mean? And WHY must there be some big sweaty guy on it? HE'S not a bishounen, that's for certain. *attempts to stifle her rage*
I'll only put quizzes that amuse me on by blog. Otherwise there'd be 36 pages of blogging. *sweatdrop*
x_X Suddenly, while surfing around artificial-soul.net, I discovered the Gravitation Quiz. Kurai has not been exposed to Gravitation much...okay, not at all. So...why do I get THIS guy?!
You have a gun, and you know how to use it. You're not one to let anyone boss you around; truth to tell, you'd like it better if you did the bossing. You're the foreigner with the bad-ass attitude, and while you might border along the odd side, everyone thinks you're cool.
Which Gravitation Character Are You?
So what if I'd rather be given a nice shiny sniper rifle than Ryuichi Sakuma, giftwrapped and smothered in chocolate sauce...That doesn't make me psychotic, does it?
Save me...please...my bad moods must really show. But honestly, this isn't really a bad mood. I can be a LOT worse. (Ask around)
Sooo....can anyone tell me what Sandman is about? And why I would be most like Destiny...? (Yep...took another quiz...that's what happens when you're out of school too much...not that I mind...)
Which Sandman Character Are You?
Weird...just weird...
I'm going to try to update the quizzes again. (It didn't work so well yesterday...*sweatdrop*)

Whew...long weekend.
School's already been called off for today, so I'm still up. It was called off yesterday and Monday as well. (We ended up with an inch or more of solid ice...) I slept almost all day. Fun. *is officially bored*
I'd like to thank everyone that's taken the poll and to encourage everyone else to take it. (Voting's tied so far. ~.^ Go break it!)
I really don't have much to say right now...o.o So I'll let everyone go.

I created a poll to find out who you all wanted to see on next month's blog layout. Please take the stupid thing; it's only two questions. (Who you want to see and what style layout)
Also, please read the updates on the opinions page.
Now, I have to get to bed since I have a psych test at 06:40, another psych test during first, and a bio test during my lunch. *grumbles*

School today. >_< Arg, it was awful. Even with my mom having picked up some of my make-up work from Psych, I'm still swamped with it. I really wish that woman would give directions on what to do. She's good about it in class, but not if you were absent. You might as well have died for all she appears to care.
And Biology...goodness. It was just a lot of written stuff. Now we're into atoms and chemical bonds. x_X Kurai is not good with that sort of thing. Now I'll probably be okay when we get into DNA. I'm good with DNA for some reason. *has been fascinated with it since the 6th grade* I'm stuck on some analogies. Why do we have to have analogies in Bio? That's just wrong. u_u;
I have to make up a test in each class too. Why do all teachers seem to plan their tests at the exact same time?
Hopefully Makoto-chan'll get back soon. (Her dad's good with this sort of thing, so she understands it more than I do...) *crosses fingers*

No school today either. If they're not careful, we're gonna get used to this and forget to come at all.
You know what's not a good idea to try to make? Avatars with transparent celtic knots on them. >_< Trust me.
I've been bored enough lately to try making transparent celtic knots on avatars and mess with glowing text. See? Ah, the boredom.
Something else I've found annoying: flip text. Why? What is the point of having your text do this?
Oh, and wave text. I can't even get it to work right for me. But if I catch some site using it, I will flame them incessantly. *nods sagely*
Now, the opacity text thing is kinda neat if you have spiffy backgrounds. Transparent fun...
Thanks for the fun codes, Lissa. (Note: This is what happens when you're off school all the time.)
Something else I'm not sure I'll ever discover the purpose of: scrolling marquees. Why? What on Earth do need to scroll by itself? And the speeds...some sites set theirs on 50...x_X That's just uncalled for, making me dizzy like that...
On a more serious note, I asked Makoto-chan to start a column on my site. ^.^ I don't like the idea of it being just me up here babbling.
I need to review Scented Candles' fic(s) for her soon. Like, now.

Again, school was called off. You know, I haven't been to school this month...at all. u_u;
*sighs* I killed myself with html today. The Wei� and Angel Sanctuary icon pages are completely different. (Well, they look pretty much the same, but they'll download faster now.) Tables...minions of tables. x_X I must be really dedicated to you guys.
I was thinking of having some people help me out on here. I know, no one will e-mail or IM me asking to help, but I can dream.
Should I start an updates section with all the re-vamping that I've been doing?
Oh! Duo-kun sent me the second and third chapters of "Loop Holes". I love 'em, Duo-kun! I just have to get them posted. u_u I have so much stuff to do on here. *sighs*
Makoto-chan, how's your site coming along? And Hota's? I hope that I was of some help to you both. ^.^;;;
Everyone should have to listen to "The Minority" sung by Shin-ichirou Miki (Youji's seiyuu). I guess it's good if you like to hear Miki wheeze, puff, and scream. ^.^;;; *has been listening to all her Wei� songs again*
OMG, Koyasu sings this one song..."House of Love". o.0 It's supposed to sound like a porno song. >_< I've read the lyrics...and...GAH! As Jey, the owner of Aya no Wei� Kreuz Corner, put it: "I am sorry, but whenever I hear this song I see Koyasu groping a mannequin. It has a loud and obnoxious intro [like most of Schlag des Herzens] but the song itself is just so PORNO... that it's nifty."
Now, personally, I've never heard it. But the lyrics are enough to sufficiently scare me. Though I am thinking of investing in some of the Wei� CD's.
Well, now that was some pointless babble. �_�; I'll probably get on and talk some more later...*sweatdrop*

Well, I didn't go to school yesterday, my fever had returned. *sweatdrop* And today it was called off because of snow.
Well, I added a Quiz Index and two more pages of quizzes. *sighs*
There's really not a whole lot to say, that's why I didn't write yesterday. u_u; I'm bored, to say the least.
Hota asked if I'd teach her html. o.o Well, I'm certainly just beginning myself, but I'll try my absolute best. ^.^;

influenza
mono
Now they have no clue as to what I have. Joy. The doctor said that the earliest I can try to go to school is Friday, but I managed to talk my mom into letting me go tomorrow if my fever's almost gone. *sweatdrop* It's sad when you make deals so you can go to school. �_�;
Thank you for the e-mail, Makoto-chan. It cheered me up, even if you did tease me about all the work I have to catch up on in Bio. ~.^
Can anyone tell me how I can create a tagboard without having to sign up for one? Please? *Chihuahua eyes*
I'm going to go see if I can't do other constructive things. (I've done all the psych my fragile little mind can handle for one night...)

Scratch the influenza...now they think that it's either bronchitis or pneumonia. �_�; Lucky me.
Well, I missed yet another day of school due to this crap. *rage*
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, but if I can find a way to get my fever down for just a moment, I can go to school. ^.^;
Arg...this sucks.
I'm not particularly fond of this layout...thank goodness February's a short month. *sniggers* Maybe I'll make a poll to find out who you all'd like to see on March's layout. ^.^;;;
Before I started all this html stuff, I was working on a layout for February. Centered around this gif:
It's blurry, but I thought a few people might see the humor in it. ^.^;;;
If you like it and want to use it on your site, you'll have to e-mail me because I added an anti-image theft html tag on this page. Sorry. ^.^;

Mmmm...influenza...
Yes, I have the flu. I had to stay home today, too. I really hate staying home simply because I hate all the make-up work. This entry won't be too terribly long, I don't think. I'm really not in the mood to sit here at my desk and type.
I got some new books. ^.^; Wah! You all have to read Love Song by Keiko Nishi. I love the story "The Signal Goes Blink, Blink". (Okay, so the title doesn't make much sense, but the story's great. And no, it's not really a love story unless you have a weird mind.) It was funny because Kudoh-san freaked out when Yamada was crying...here, I'll just give you a teaser. ^.^;
Yoshio: ...
Kudoh-san: *exhales smoke* You can't show any weaknesses, Yoshio. Those guys'll keep at you till they've stripped you buck naked.
Yoshio: *starts crying* But I... I mean... How long can I keep this up? They all thank me for healing them and everything......but I'm afraid that if I lose this power, I'll just go back to being a nobody again. No one will care about me.
Kudoh-san: Maybe.
Yoshio: *makes shocked face*
Kudoh-san: But you know... The people whose wounds and illnesses you've healed will remember you someday and think..."that was the boy who saved me". Here and there, all over Japan...They'll be thinking of you. Isn't that enough?
Yoshio: But then...nothing will have changed. Are those people going to play with me? Will they come to shool with me? They won't go to school with me. They won't play with me.
Kudoh-san: [thinking] Hmm... Now if this were a girl I was trying to hit on, I'd come up with some reassuring words and kiss her.....But in this case...I'd just freak him out. Besides, it's not going to do him any good if I just tell him everything's going to be all right. Hmm...
Yoshio: Kudoh-san? You don't know what to do with me, do you?
Kudoh-san: Hm? Uh...not really, no.
Yoshio: ... *sniffles* ...I'm sorry. I'm acting like a baby.
Kudoh-san: .... *starting to freak out* Ah... ...[thinking] H-He's so damned cute!
Yoshio: We're running late, aren't we? *starts to leave, but looks back* Is something wrong, Kudoh-san?
Kudoh-san: Hm? No! Not at all. [thinking] What the hell am I thinking!?
Just thought the masses might enjoy that. Or at least Duo-kun and MD-san might. ^.^;

Heyla, minna-sama.
New layout? Yes. I made some changes to the actual layout, just so things'll fit all on one page. Sorry Mei.
Sorry I didn't upload this yesterday, but I've been sick. Again. u_u; I have a fever! Yea! (I feel like absolute crap...)
Well, since I've been sick, I don't really have a whole lot to say.
Ja!
