Aside: The giant dancing mushroom things in Atlantica are the most /bizarre/ heartless I've ever come across. I cast 'stop' on three normal mushrooms, and a giant one appeared, and it was just... /there/... and /dancing/ in time to the battle music, and when I smacked it, it shook an arm at me, like going "no". And then continued to dance. And nothing I did could make its lifebar go down any. And it was very cute, and... dancing... and I had /no/ idea what to do with it, so I just stared at it for a while, and it disappeared when I cast 'stop' on it, too.

/Wierd/.

10:01 PM

Played more Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix. I don't know why I like Kingdom Hearts so much, because I hate hate hate hate most of the worlds for being /impossible/ to get around. I mean, Atlantica. /Atlantica/. Words cannot express how much I dislike Atlantica. Yes, I was playing that world today, and I'm still not done yet, mostly on accounts of repeatedly getting annihilated by Ursula for an hour.

But Sora's such a cute kid. <3 I love him. <3 <3 <3 And Riku's such a moron, and I love him, too. <3 Even if I want to smack him over the head sometimes. 'Gee, I think today would be a good day to follow a black witch who wants to kill my best friend around, and my /other/ best friend's heart got stolen, so doesn't just make sense to use the power of the /heartless/ to try and get it back?' Moron. He cracks me up. I love him.

Thursday

5:22 PM

I wanted to post yesterday, but blogger was down. Stupid blogger.

So we took our height and weight yesterday during PE. I'm SHORT and I'm FAT! How?!

</girl>

...I'm okay now. *cough*

Apart from that, it was an extraordinarily relaxing PE, because it was raining and we couldn't do a lot.

2) Ran the 2.4 today. It would have been okay, but halfway through, it started to rain, and the PE teacher didn't let us stop. So we were all just there running in the rain, and it was very uncomfortable, and PE is the first lesson, so it was quite nasty and annoying all-round. Must wash my hair badly, but there is no hot water. Rar.

3) Few things are more XO-inducing than PE two days in a row.

...long weekend. <3

Tuesday

4:51 PM

And on the DNAngel cast, again...

(the other day, with aine, after a vague discussion)

"So... if Dark is Shigure, and Daisuke is being voiced by Haku..."

"..."

"..."

*gleeful* "That means that when Chihiro hugs Haku, he turns into his dragon form..."

"With Dark's voice and personality."

*gleeful* "And Chihiro really likes Haku, but HATES the dragon's guts~!"

Monday

6:30 PM

I've read it. I just don't own it, but I want to. <3

5:34 PM

Today is a good day to tidy up the studyroom.

Because I am a slob. But a slob who understands the value of a clean and neat living space. And also, New Year is coming, so if I clean up by myself, I can shove everything into drawers. Whereas if mother shrieks at me to clean up and stands at a corner watched me do it, shoving all my crap into drawers becomes that much more disapproved.

Later, I suppose, it will become a good day to study for my Economics test (which we only just found out about last friday, that's /injustice/, i tell you XO XO XO) tomorrow.

5:08 PM

'cos I was too lazy to blog yesterday, Meimi, Riku is voiced by Nakayama Sara, and Risa is voiced by Asano Mayumi. Krad is voiced by Kusao Takeshi, and Emiko by Tamagawa Sakiko. I don't recognize any of them. And I can't read the rest of the names, because I can't find them in the seiyuu database, /so/. For some reason, they have Towa and Krad's seiyuu, but not Kosuke's, even though Kosuke appears before they do. I can only hope that it's because they haven't casted him or just neglected to list him, becaus if they cut him out, I will throw a sulk.

Saturday

8:03 PM

In stories whereby two people who hate each other are thrown together due to circumstances of fate, and the summaries ask rhetorically if they'll end up killing each other or falling in love, I find it terribly tragic that no one ever opts for the former option.

I mean, that'd be a lot more interesting, I swear.

Um... as is, writing Devil May Cry fic. 'cos I CAN. Mwaha.

But first, biology.

7:47 PM

DNAngel seiyuu list is in! Daisuke being voiced by the same person who did Haku in Spirited Away, to which I went '... .... ...' at. But then same seiyuu did Sora in Kingdom Hearts, so I can wrap my mind around it. (i liked sora in kh, anyway. cute kiiiid. and, /haku/. *swoon*) Dark is Okiayu Ryuutarou. K from Gravitation, Shigure from Fruits Basket, and... Treize. ...Well, I can wrap my mind around that, too. Satoshi is going to be voiced by Akira Ishida.

'scuse me while I go /ow/.

...Well, he voiced Kaworu, maybe he could pull it off... but still, /ow/.

The designs are decent, anyway. Daisuke's so cute. I wanna snoggle him. <3

Friday

9:03 PM

So I finally get ICQ (sort-of, vaguely, at nights anyway) working again, and there's no one around to talk to me on it because I haven't used it in so long.

It's probably all ironic and stuff, but at current, I'm just vaguely 'wah'.

Thursday

4:54 PM

Honey? If you want me to be ONE with the TRAINING and LEVELING UP and actually CONTINUING Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, you come over here and help me with Tarzan's world. Because, man, I hate that world. Swinging around on stupid vines and having no idea where to go and /monkey/ heartless, yeesh. But at least you're actually ground based. For the most part. Atlantica, anybody?

Anyway. Biology test next week. Plant and animal transport.

Wednesday

8:31 PM

Went out with Aine, spent a lot of money. A great deal of money. But I have swag! Including two DNAngel posters, one neat Daisuke-and-pictures-of-his-parents poster, and one rather creepy one of Dark and Daisuke pretending to be Krad and Satoshi (do not hang over daisuke like that, dark, it's wrong.) while, uh, wearing Candidate for Goddess clothes. No, really.

Also snagged a really tiny and cute deck of poker cards with KKJ pictures on them from CC. Terribly cute. I did not know that there was that much colour art for KKJ.

Also got two Sakura Kinoshita manga, Loki Ragnarok (order finally came in, stupid kino...) and Tactics, because Sakura Kinoshita is cool. I mean, maybe four people in the english-speaking anime fandom world know who she is, and two of them are Aine-chan and Jo-chan and one of them is me, but she is still cool.

Still want to watch Hero.

Tuesday

8:21 PM

Chemistry test could have been better, could have been worse. I didn't study alkanes at all, 'cos alkanes are boring, so of course questions on cracking of long-chain alkanes had to come out. I'm lucky like that.

But on the plus side, I didn't have to go for the hep. B blood test, because apparently I've been immunised. <3 I'm really squeamish about needles, which is why I didn't donate blood last year. I mean, needle. The size of TOOTHPICK. Up arm. >.>;;;x

Really /dreamy/ BtVS fic that I liked a lot... mm. Getting back on my Buffy kick, that's bad.

5:15 PM

So it was raining some time back, and I was walking down the corridors of school with a friend. And to suit the mood, I started singing the weather appropriate nursery rhyme, until she interrupted me the third line through.

"Isn't it supposed to be 'he went to bed and bumped his head?' " she asked me. I blinked.

"No, I'm pretty sure 'he fell out of bed and bumped his head.' " I said.

"But I think he went to bed and bumped his head..."

"No, he fell /out/ of bed, and then bumped his head."

"I don't think so."

"Anyway, how do you go to bed and then bump your head?"

"The headboard or something!"

"Whatever," I said, and then we went to the washroom and stopped talking about it.

Then, after a period of walking to class quietly--me, thoughtful,

"Anyway, he can't have gone to bed at that time. He was already snoring."

"But it's in past tense!" she defended.

"Anyway," she said, "Nursery rhymes are dumb."

"You think?"

"Like... 'Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall'?"

"What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"He's an /egg/!"

Monday

7:27 PM

People should write Umeda fic. There is well-nigh no Umeda fic anywhere, and that makes me sad.

Also, I'm a moron for continuously reading "carbocation" as "carbo-ca-tion". To rhyme with 'nation'. "Carbocation intermediate? Carbocation of what?"

Sunday

8:25 PM

And today's random 'what the fuck?'-- Satoshi/Takeshi. What the fuck?

8:19 PM

To: My connection
From: Me
Re: Sudden... and repeated... connection cut-outs

NOT FUNNY. XO

boom shanka,
me

Saturday

7:19 PM

*ring* *ring*

"Hello?"

"[my name] ah? Hee hee hee hee!" *click*

*dial tone*

"... ...okay..."

Creepiest phone call. Ever.

5:59 PM

Jo-chan: The purple badge thing? It's supposed to be a, uh, collector's item. It's really, really ugly. I'll show you sometime.

At least the shade of purple is fairly nice.

5:48 PM

...So I have DNAngel 7.

The 4-panel gag comic at the end? With Daisuke and Dark in it?

*HOWL*

If I'm feeling not-so-lazy sometime, I'll scanlate it. Poor Daisuke. Really.

Chemistry now. I have a test on Tuesday. I also have a Hep. B blood test on Tuesday. I really don't like needles. XO

12:33 PM

And CC has been getting in bunches of really cool posters, only when I went to Bishan on Thursday or so, they were still organising them, and I've slightly given up on posters (or at least, on trying to keep them /stuck/ to the wall. one wonders how the big dante one kept on so long on just blu-tack.) because they keep falling off, and it's a pain.

But Aine called and spotted a DNAngel one with Dark and Daisuke and MINE. <3

And public service announcement, courtesy news from her-- Black Cat 11, Hanakimi 19, DNAngel 7 are out in Chinese.

12:27 PM

Regarding Mercedes Lackey.

Wouldn't it be twisted somebody Shaych went and got himself lifebonded to a person of the opposite gender? It'd be like the "I'm not gay but in love with him/her" thing all over again, only in reverse. "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you and we have a magical connection, but I'm gay, and you're screwing up my sexual orientation /again/, dammit!" And another look at the phrase "love knows no gender".

...*cough*

Thursday

4:47 PM

I had a long and thoughtful... think... about the implications of the word yaoi versus that of slash, and why people shouldn't mix the two terminologies between fandoms, apart from the obvious "when in Rome" thing.

But then I started not making sense to myself, so I'll just go back to my Econs homework now.

Got my SAT results. Okay, I guess. Not going to bother retaking it.

Tuesday

5:17 PM

So I was sitting in the hall along with every other person of my year, trying to look rapt with attention at my principal while actually surreptitiously examining my fingernails, when my classmate sitting behind me poked me in the back very hard.

"You /cut/ your /hair/!" she exclaimed urgently, and it had only taken her two weeks to notice.

"Yeah," I said. "I did."

"But /why/?" she asked, sounding quite aghast.

Because I wanted it to be /shorter/, /duh/, I almost said. Only I didn't, because then she would have hit me, and there was a teacher standing three feet away from us.

And then we got big purple badges that were kind of ugly, that had part of our school pledge on it, which I dumped in my bag and the pin came undone and stabbed me in the back as I was climbing up the stairs home today.

Monday

4:43 PM

Reisha says:
For now, I'm going to think about highly metaphorical and meaningful Yuki/Kyou fic.
Reisha says:
In which they /don't/ have sex.
Kantras says:
... Right.
Reisha says:
'cos they're on the porch.
Kantras says:
*snrk*
Reisha says:
It's a /good/ reason for not having sex.

Sunday

12:07 AM

...I can't remember whether I've showered today because my hair is dry.

(...what? i usually do that before bed.)

Saturday

5:27 PM

And Akito is so, so pretty.

A jerk. But with his pretty whispery voice and just all-round prettiness. So very pretty.

5:25 PM

And just to very belatedly say, Fruits Basket is so well directed. Love the last few eps. *.*x

...but I don't believe Tohru tried her touchy-feely-healy thing on Akito. Or did she? The subtitles on the DVDs are pretty bad.

But what's funny! Is Shigure addressing Hatori on the phone as "Ha-san"! And the subbers apparently mishearing, thus leading to the Chinese subtitles being "mother". ...so I'm easily amused.

2:46 PM

So my dad took me to a Japanese place for lunch, where I had a lot of raw fish, a little less cooked fish, and missed eight calls from Aine. Sorry.

Just going to wander off and... digest... now.

11:30 AM

The Smallville writers (for the show, that would be,) should all be slapped with penalties and disallowed from touching dramatic irony with a ten foot pole EVER AGAIN.

...and can I have my Steven Brust back and borrow the ones that aren't mine again? Been reading Issola. Whee.

Thursday

7:25 PM

I really, really need a new layout. Started on one gag MDLoki layout, only the background's too, uh, nonexistent. However, it contains judicious use of the word 'pants', thus I am loathe to just toss it aside.

And randomly, it feels bizarrely normal for Squall, having stolen his dad's wardrobe, to be talking to an anthropomorphic duck and... dog? Kingdom Hearts warps you. It's just so very wrong. And few things are funnier than Donald Duck going "ohayo gozaimasu".

5:07 PM

"We dwarves are wasted on cross-country. Very dangerous, our short distances."

...which is to say, I had PE today and we ran a lot and OW I HURT. We had PE yesterday, too. Wah.

Wednesday

7:43 PM

So I snagged a copy of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, and so I decided to play a little, and so it comes with a trailer for FFX-2. Man, I want that. I mean, Yuna's new fashion sense and all. Actually, I kind of like Yuna's new look. And she has guns, instead of that stupid stick! And she looks good. Rikku is wearing some kind of bikini thing, and that scares me. And the trailer had Tidus and Bahamut and it was all very cool. Wah.

Also, Sora has a very cute new move and I've spent the past hour constructively beating Tidus and Riku up.

4:39 PM

...*cackle*.

Snagged from Neil Gaiman's blog. So I hear he's coming down to Singapore in March? 'cos if he is, I want to be there. XO

Tuesday

4:58 PM

..."Youth is wasted on the young."

Now ASK ME IF I CARE.

...*cough*. Off to do my essay. Maybe I'll switch topics.

Monday

9:12 PM

So a few of my seniors from last year have taken to crashing the J1 orientation, dressed in their Sec. 4 uniforms. "So, is /that/ all you have do to make you decide to come to school? Graduate?"

But I like my seniors. They're great fun.

...yes. Homework.

9:02 PM

The new kid? Sena? His image flower? Pansy.

This amuses me more than it should. Whoever assigned it to him was very evil, and probably had a great deal of fun. However, the new kid's seiyuu is Yamaguchi Kappei thus I love him. Or, well, I would love him only he's 1) Omi, 2) kind of dumb. The stupidity is forgivable if he's a fairly new member of Weiss, but if not, there's no reason for him to forget the rule of DON'T SHOW ANY SORT OF ATTACHMENT TO ANY FEMALE CHARACTER OR ELSE THEY DIE.

Watched ep 2, still no other familiar faces, am v. confused but the Toudou kid is really, really pretty. <3

I'm getting the urge to rewatch the original series, only the original series blows. I will, however, take the manga to bed tonight. Mm. Pretty. <3

I have homework.

Sunday

7:30 PM

So I wrestled my computer into finally playing Weiss Gluhen, and, well...

Aya is so very sexy. I have no idea what's up with the braid, but it's sexy. There is no Omi. That's v. sad. Or, well, there /is/ Omi, but that appearance doesn't count. What's up with that Sena kid? The animation, this time around, doesn't UTTERLY BLOW, so that's a plus. But still... Omi. Wah.

And that villain, leader of the S-class or /something/... like an older, more hot Nagi. Mmmm.

It's not quite Weiss As You Know It from the anime, but it isn't bad. No more villain-of-the-week, either, I think, so I do want to watch more. Just... Omi. Wah.

Also, randomly reading profiles, it seems that they're arming themselves with guns, too. ...FINALLY. And it only took them what, three, four years to come up with it? Morons. Really. Morons.

Saturday

6:42 PM

CCA carnival today. It was singularly unexciting, involving either standing at the steps to give out flyers, or sitting at the booth and staring blankly at the backs of the boxes of all the computer programs we brought out to display. I was feeling remarkably like one of those people who, well, stand around in public places giving out flyers.

I always tended to feel a bit sorry for them.

And then when that bit of fun was over... library meeting!

1.00: Meeting start. Library teacher rejects proposal for Library month (we do, indeed, have that. why? i don't know, but fact remains).

1.30: Discussion for half an hour has yielded nothing. Library teacher makes much noise about referring to the proposals and data left by last year's seniors for the previous Library month. Look at each other, make no move to try and /find/ data of years past.

2.00: Discussion for another half hour has yielded nothing. "New theme" needed. Various suggestions thrown out, none of which are approved. As library teacher temporarily leaves, discover that library teacher's papers contain DATA OF PAST YEAR LEFT BY SENIORS. Collectively go '...'. Surreptitiously read data while keeping eye out for her return. Staff librarian who was reading data faked out by watcher giving false alarm, brief hilarity ensues.

2.30: More 'new themes' rejected. Start contemplating stabbing self with own pencil.

2.31: Discover that own pencil not present. Vaguely disappointed, but was not /seriously/ going to stab self, thus okay.

2.45: Begin to despair of ever leaving library.

3.00: Move on to finding themes for other activity. Fortunately, library teacher not present and library teacher approval not required. Actually accomplish something for first time in day.

3.30: Theme list compiled. Move on to finding books to fit list. Peers and self feeling decidedly mutinous, however too brain-dead for violence, speech and motor coordination.

4.00: Begin to despair of ever seeing light of day again. Unfair as library fairly well-lit and furnished with windows, however despair remains.

4.04: Aine calls, hide behind shelf to share lament about light of day. Commiserated with.

...but then I managed to get out soon after, and then I had comfort food. Also, Aine gave me a plush devil-bear holding a heart. His name is Dante.

Thursday

5:14 PM

First day of school! It wasn't bad. Definitely could have been much more evil. As it was, the highest evil count of the day came from working on and turning in the Worst Economics Essay Ever. At least, on my part. Crappy, crappy essay, augh. But my civics tutor went up with us, so we have the same one. Which is cool, because, well, she's cool.

In other news... got my time table, and the earliest I end is 3.10, but the latest is 4, so. And on Thursdays, I can go home at 1.20 if I skip Chinese, but I was all good and went today, along with, oh, six other people? We have hour long periods this year, instead of 40 minute ones. In some cases, it's cool. In other cases, I have GP for two straight hours first thing Monday morning, and it's... less cool.

Wanted to meet up with Aine and maybe Jo-chan, but it's raining like the wolf out there and my phone was running out of battery, so, uh, if the string of unidentifiable missed calls was you, I'm... sorry?

Wednesday

9:47 AM

...and happy new year to all. <3
