Music: "Sleepless Beauty" by Nittle Grasper (from Gravitation) I really like Sleepless Beauty, but I wish there was a slower version of it. Mood: Don't talk to me and I won't kill you... I'm pretty sure I've finally found my anime image character. Or maybe it's two? I don't know about the second one, but I know for sure that the first one is definitely my image character. Ok, here goes... It is... *drumroll*...Touma! From Yoroiden Samurai Troopers! Or otherwise known as Rowen from Ronin Warriors here in North America. *thinks* I think I like the name Touma better. The name Rowen is just so... Irish. Well, there are so many reason why I'm like Touma. For example, we're both smart. *gets smacked for being conceited* *bounces right back* Oh yeah, and you can say we're both conceited about what we're good at! We're both bad cooks...*remembers all the times I nearly burned the house down...* and we both like to sleep! Touma-chan has to sleep cos he's got low blood pressure, and his idea of getting up early is 11:00. Me... well, I like to sleep till noon, if I can. Not to mention my favorite color is blue (has been ever since I was born), which is the color of Touma's hair, eyes, AND armor, as well as most of his clothes. We both like to read, and we're both clear thinkers (don't laugh, it's true). There's a lot more, but there are too many similarities to name 'em all. My second anime image character is... *drumroll again*... Seiji!! Also from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers! His name is Sage in the American dubbed version, and he is dropdead gorgeous! Oh, these two aren't my image characters cos I look like them or anything, but cos my personality is just a mix of both of theirs. Seiji is cool (calm), rather cold, and really likes his privacy (which is to say he likes being alone). I guess he's my second image character for that reason. He likes his peace and quiet, and I like mine. Yes, I realize that both of my image characters are guys, but so what? I just haven't seen any anime girls that I think reminds me of ME. Oh, did I mention green is my second favorite color? And it isn't because of Seiji either. I like blue because the color reminds me of sorrow and loneliness (like space and air, which is basically Touma's armor thingy) and I like green because it's a calm and soothing color (like Seiji's light). Touma's virtue is wisdom (I'm not even going to comment on what that has to do with me; you're not going to believe me anyway) and Seiji's virtue is light (ok, so in that aspect I don't resemble Seiji, because I like dark, but liking dark resembles me more to Touma, because of the space thingy). I have to read this dumb book for AP Government, and I can't even get past the second page. Well, I COULDN'T get past the second page, but I sat myself down the other day and forced myself through the introduction. It's a really hard book to read because all the sentences are warped and complicated. And I have to read it twice to understand it... kinda like when I have to read a Chinese book (text, not manga). Also, the book doesn't interest me, so it's hard to keep my attention on the book when I could be pouring over HunterXHunter. Speaking of reading, I went to the library yesterday to look for books I could possibly read...and came home with 10. A few were Chinese, because they looked interesting (oh man, it's gonna take me forever!), and a few others the librarian recommended to me. The rest I picked up myself because they looked interesting. I read one book last night (English, and short) and it was really good! I've almost forgotten what it's like to read a regular science fiction book again. The book was called "Owl in Love" by Patricia Windl. I think that's how you spell her name. It was about a teenage girl, who can shape-shift to an owl at anytime. At night she goes as an owl to watch over her science teacher who she has a crush on (yeah, stupid...), and one day, she discovers that there is a strange owl and a strange boy lurking in the woods behind his house. The strange boy turns out to BE the owl, a wereowl just like her, except he didn't know that and grew up with parents (the science teacher, it turns out) who thought he was crazy for wanting to eat rodents. Owl fights the strange owl in owl form, and hurts him. She finds out that he's is the boy she's seen hiding in the woods and realizes that he's like him. She hunts and feeds the boy, who grows attached to her (in owl form), but she wants to reveal her human form to him when he develops a fever. At the same time, a new friend of Owl from school (Dawn) tries to "snare" the science teacher for Owl, but everything ends up weird and Owl can't transform in front of Houle (she named the boy), even though she wanted to. Finally, Dawn, who realizes that Owl really is an owl, tries to get the science teacher back with his son Houle (actually named David, who was in a hospital from childhood, but escaped and came back, thus explaining why he was in the woods in the first place), and Owl believes that Dawn had betrayed her by exposing Houle. When Owl tries to lead Houle away from what she considered danger, the science teacher Mr. Lindstrom and Dawn catches up with them and Houle recognizes his father and begins to run back to them. Owl cried out anguishedly for who she believed to be her lifemate (owls are like that...), and Houle responded by turning back into an owl and flying to her, then offering her a mice (which is supposed to be owl courtship). So, the truth is revealed and Houle and Owl are basically engaged as owls, but they still have to go back to their families until they grow up. Happy ending, yay! It was a really romantic ending, because Houle basically asked Owl to marry him (the whole mice thing). The story was, in some ways, very primal. I really like this author's style. I completed The Woman in the Wall (also by her) today. I didn't think it was as good as Owl in Love, but it was still good.

Ano... Ka-chan... we still haven't made a guestbook for K&K yet... How are we gonna know if people like our site if we don't have a guestbook? Can you get around to making one before school starts? Maybe this week? Please? Cos I don't know how...

Song of the moment: "Tears" by Gackt *sobs* My heart has been broken by Toei Animation Studios!! They made Yamato hug Sora! Oh the horrors! And I just found out recently that my beloved Yu Yu Hakusho was also animated by Toei. Such a tragedy! *hysterical wailing* I shudder to think what Toei did to mess up YYH! Life's just not fair! I should think that animators should know better than to pair people up in a series like Digimon, that has so much potential for shonen ai! *sullenly* I'll hate Toei forever for this...

Music of the moment: Anything and everything by Gackt, from the Mars album Mood of the moment: Pissed off at my mom becasue of her obsession over pictures and frames =_=...
I got vol. 9 and 10 of HunterXHunter!! Wai! Wai! I also got vol. 1 and 2 of Gravitation! Wai wai!! I also blew 18 dollars on Gackt cd: Mars!! Wai wai!! I love Gackt right now! My favorite so far is Asrun Dream, though I really like U+K, and Miz'erable and Oasis and Illness Illusion. I suppose Gackt is my current obsession. The cd's totally worth it though. Gravitation's pretty funny, I'm hoping to get vol. 3 and 4 soon. Geez I've ignored K&K for so long... not to mention my fanfics. Oh, well, I still don't feel like updating though. For Ka-chan: What do you mean I lost my conscience? You're my conscience? O_O How come I didn't know that? And I do not have yaoi and shonen ai mixed up! I know the difference, but yaoi is just soooo much easier to say (and write) than shonen ai (even typing that is hard!). I know that yaoi is pretty graphic, though it might not be completely explict! Now, Lemons and PWPs are explicit! Yaoi just takes it a small step further than shonen ai. 'sides, my definition of shonen ai and yaoi and lemons and limes and com. are usually used for fics, so it's okay. *pauses to think* However, you could definitely classify Gravitation as yaoi... okay, it doesn't show anything, but it definitely there. Eww... For Ka-chan again: Becoming Christians eh? Well, here it is: 1)Hell yeah, I've sinned, who hasn't? 2)No, I don't believe in Jesus, but that doesn't mean I'm Jewish! *raspberry* 3)Christ=Jesus, so no! And I don't think Jesus lived a particularly good life (I mean, getting crucified like that is not a good way to end it all in my opinion). Heh heh, well look at that! I'm not a Christian!! Okay, you over-obsessive Christians! Bring it on! I'm ready for ya and your stupid flames! I can take whatever preaching you throw at me! Ha ha... it doesn't mean you, Ka-chan.

I colored this picture of Ken that I drew the other day out of boredom. You can say that this is my first true fanart, that doesn't entirely involve copying. Ken's hair is this lovely shade of violet and for his eyes I used a combination of violet and black. The skin color never seems to come out right though. I'm really tired right now. I've got a huge headache, and my mom insists that I cook for the entire August month! According to her, I'm supposed to plan the dinner, make it, and do my other chores as well! I get no break. ^_^; Well, it was actually kinda fun cooking today, even though I don't like cooking. I used to burn pots on a monthly basis if I were left in the kitchen by myself. ^-^; I'm not listening to any music right now. I got tired of the music I have on my computer. I'm trying to DL Gackt, but Kazaa doesn't seem to have many of his songs. Life is boring; I need a new obsession. Maybe I should go buy some manga tomorrow or Friday. It might at least keep my mind occupied for a while. Argh, I've been reading too much Taito and Daiken! Must...get past...digimon...fic obsession... Oh, I can't do it! I'd like to read something else, but I haven't found any really good fics lately. There are these two HUGE GW fic archives that I could spend the rest of my life reading, but I don't particularly care for GW right now. The thought of Relena stubbornly turning any insult from Heero into a compliment in her own demented, twisted, insanely dumb mind makes me want to puke my guts out! However at the same time, some digimon ficwriters make Sora out to be really evil and against taito, which is just as bad as Relena being dumb ("Tai I know if you kiss me you'll come to your senses and forget Yamato!" is the general line of idoicy). I don't really like character bashing that much, especially if the fanfic writers are bashing a female character that everyone knows is stupid. It galls me to read fics where either Sora or Relena is screaming at Taichi or Heero about how sickening their behaviors are... I really prefer fics where these people are made out to be the intelligent open-minded young women that they are supposed to symbolize. I mean, Sora's got the damn crest of love and Relena is naturally peace-loving, for cyring out loud! Would anyone like them be so narrow-minded as many fanfic writers make them out to be? Sora has had a horrible injustice done to her: she didn't asked to be married to Matt, and she certainly isn't the evil homophobic many people make her out to be. Usually, when there's problems like that, Sora's character is the one who gets laden with the responsiblity, and absolutely no one else! Geez, I like that girl, people should really give her a break! Okay, the above only applied to Sora, since Digimon is such a show where no one seems to prefer anyone else (except for Taito, which is sooo blatantly obvious), but as for Relena... Well, I hate that girl's guts, mostly cos she's always doing dumb stuff and being way to naive for her own good, not to mention "stalking" poor Heero throughout the entire series. Still, Relena can be written as a good person: it's not impossible, cos i've seen it done. I've got plently of Taito fics stored away to last me a while without me having to go online, now lessee if I can do the same for Touma and Seiji... Whoa, read a FY and YYH crossover the other day, it was good, I guess, but it was really long and still not finished.

Watched "Little Nicky" and "Anti-Trust" today. Couldn't get "Planet of Apes" old version. Me n Maryam demolished two bags of popcorn, one for each movie. Little Nicky was weird. Really weird. Anti-Trust was sooooo good! Marky Mark's pretty cute. I love his nose. It's so straight. He's got good facial structure, it'd be sooooo easy to draw... geez look at me, I'm drooling over a guy cos I find him nice to draw... Maybe I really should consider going into the art business. Ten days, and only one wimpy little paragraph on Ka-chan's blog. Come on, Ka-chan! You can do better than that! I really like the song "A Love Before Time" by Coco Lee, from the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" soundtrack! It's sooo beautiful! It's distinctly Chinese, and has such a pretty melody, and add Coco Lee's voice to it, and you've got a super cool song! Maryam asked me if I was bored, and I realized that I was. Everything is so boring right now because I have absolutely nothing to do. I've finished summer school, and I don't feel a need to go waste all my money on manga. Oh, yeah, that reminds me, the bookstore still haven't phoned me about vol. 10 of Petshop of Horrors yet! It can't take them that long, can it?
Wednesday, August 1, 2001 01:11 a.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
Lessee, what happened yesterday: Went to party, watched "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Final Destination" at party, got Maryam in trouble with her mom... *sigh* Today: rushed through homework, wrote more of my Digimon fic, which I have titled "Digimon Nibunnoichi: Adventures Through Time and Space". It's coming along very nicely, and I have a pretty good idea of its general outline, which is not something I can say for my other on-going projects. As soon as I have written more, I'll post it on K&K. Tomorrow: last day of summer school, rent "Planet of the Apes" original one, provide popcorn for Maryam. *gleefully* Hey look! I'm psychic! j/k... made plans with Maryam just now, and then on Thursday we're gonna see the newer version of the movie. Maryam's going to Japan this weekend. Lucky her... I wanna go to Japan!! I don't wanna spend the last month of my precious summer vacation stuck at home!! My mom made plans to take me to Singapore, and then changed her mind at the last minute! Now I'll have to wait till winter vacation before I can go anywhere! Life's not fair! Maryam better bring me something really good back! *shakes fist* Will I ever be free of grasp of "Butterfly"? I can't believe I still stuck on that song! Oh well, DLing Coco Lee right now! She got good voice! Oh god! Now I know why I speak like this! I've adopted the speaking style of the tour guide from Ranma 1/2! I was concentrating so hard on how to write his dialogue in Digimon Nibunnoichi that my mind got stuck on his broken English dialect thingy! Oh, well, at least I'm not "no da"ing... *Chichiri pops up* "Hey, I thought I was your favorite FY character, no da! How can you say that about me, no da!" *looks hurt and angry and disappears back to FY world* Oops, sorry, Chichiri... Blogging's not so much fun today. Oh yeah, Ka-chan's reviving from her baby-sitting experience. ^_^ Hopefully she'll blog soon. At least she's started to reply my mails.
Sunday, July 29, 2001 11:00 p.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
If Ka-chan doesn't blog soon, I'm gonna personally kill her. Her baby-sitting weeks are over! No excuses Ka-chan! *glare*
Sunday, July 29, 2001 10:43 p.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
La dee da dee da! I'm happy today! *sings along to "Butterfly"* Still listening to "Butterfly". I know I'm endangering myself to detest that song, but I can't stop listening to it. Wada Kouji's voice is absolutely gorgeous in that song! I also DLed "Target~Akai Shogeki~" The last bit means Red Impact, but I don't get it. It's the second season opening to Digimon. All three season openings are sung by Wada Kouji. The third is "The Biggest Dreamer", nice, but it and Target doesn't match up to Butterfly. Besides, in my opinion, season 1's better than season 2 and 3 anyway. I started another fanfic... yes, another one. *glare* don't look at me like that! I'm not crazy to be working on *counts on fingers* four fics at once! AND, I've also got three more on my mind, but I won't be starting on them anytime soon. They can wait and stew in my mind. This new one is a Digimon and Ranma 1/2 crossover. Yes, you heard me, Ranma and Digimon. But the only character from Ranma that's gonna show up for now is the tour guide. I don't know if I want to write the cast of Ranma into this story. I'm not sure how Ranma's fights with everyone will fit in with the Digidestineds trying to get back to normal. Actually, I don't even know what the plot is gonna be yet, except a vague "get dunked in Jusenkyou, get turned into various animals and opposite sexes, find way to get back to normal, and possible Taito". I just started writing. I think I've got about 5 pages right now... Ugh, I need to get off this one and try to finish my other Digimon fic (the one based on the second movie). I'm quickly losing interest in it, though... No, what I should be working on is that damn GW fic that's got a permanent block on it in my head. I know how I'm going to end the story, but I don't know how to make the transitions. I'm gonna have to email Lani about it... I'm actually considering the crazy idea of writing a YST fic paired to the poem "The Raven". Yeah, I'm crazy alright. I don't even know the first thing about how "The Raven" is interpreted, not to mention it'll be hell to try to write a decent fic that follows the lines of the poem. Damn hard, it is... I should drop the idea entirely, but it won't go away. Ugh, my id is screaming "Do it!" like crazy, buy my ego is just bashing it over the head (with no effect nonewhatsoever) and yelling "Are you crazy?!" (why yes, actually, I am.). My super-ego's taking a break right now. I really don't know what to do about this.
Sunday, July 29, 2001 01:31 a.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
Yata!! I got my first mail regarding K&K!! I was so excited! *jumps around laughing* Chrislea-chan loved my side! Yay! Someone likes my side of K&K and bothered to email me about it! Oh, I don't think I can sleep now... Chislea-chan was good enough to make some suggestions regarding the YnM Character Not-do list. Arigato Chrislea-chan! I got your name right, right? Now, if Ka-chan would be inspired by this enough to do something about her side...
Saturday, July 28, 2001 10:56 p.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
I wish my computer was faster or something. There's something wrong with my telephone line, so my internet connection is much slower than usual. That means DLing music is slower than usual too. Ugh, Kazaa's already slow enough for me. I'm too lazy to work on K&K... :P. I dunno, I should though, maybe I'll do that later tonight or something.

Sugoi~~!! The song "Butterfly", from Digimon is soooooo cool! I love that song!*sighs with contentment* I could listen to it all day long... I don't know who it's by, though *pouts* It actually helped me to forget about "Bright Daylight"! "Butterfly" has such a beat to it, it really makes you want to dance, even if you don't know how. ^-^; Oh, wait, I just found the singer to the song. It's *drumroll* Wada Koji!! ...Who's that? Well, I'm pretty sure "Butterfly" is the season 1 opening. It's a sugoi song! It's the sugoist! I know that's not a word, you don't have to tell me... ^-^; I love the lyrics!"After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness, it seems as if our beloved dreams will lose. Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay, I'm sure we can fly, oh yeah. After an endless dream, in this miserable world, that's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all. Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay, I'm sure we can fly, on my love." That's the translated lyrics from the chorus. It sounds even greater in Japanese. ^-^ Wada Koji is a great singer. He sang most of the Digimon songs, I think. I'm sure if Ka-chan heard his voice, she'll think it sounds like Shazna or Ryuichi from Luna Sea. ^_^ Wait, I think he sings the opening for Digimon season 3 too. Wow, they must really like him or something. ^-^

I actually enjoyed art class today. o.O That's so strange. I guess it's cos I actually accomplished something today. There was only me and this other guy, and I didn't feel like talking, so we just worked on our individual pieces and ignored each other. Usually there's 5 guys and me, but all the other guys had some sort of activity for the summer, so it was just me and that guy. I guess when the rowdy boys aren't here, I can work in peace and get things done. -_-; I'm almost sorry that they're coming back next week. Almost. This piece that I'm working on is a sketch of this (extremely ugly, in my opinion) woman posing for a picture. My teacher told me to copy the picture and do shading. It was so hard last time because I couldn't concentrate, but I got the hardest parts over with today. Now all I have to do is erase and redraw the entire face (yeah, I messed up big time on it...) and finish one of the arms. Then I'm all done!! I can't wait till I finish with that drawing! The problem is, where am I going to put it? I certainly don't want that ugly woman hanging on my wall or anything, and I don't have a big enough portfolio for all my artwork. Maybe I can persuade my art teacher to keep it...
Saturday, July 28, 2001 11:20 a.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
I'm so stuck on the song "Bright Daylight" by The Brilliant Green! It's a good song, but I wonder why I can't get it out of my head. ^_^; The song's different from their usual style, a bit poppish, and light. It's so... I don't know how to describe it. I can't seem to express myself today. ^-^; This lack of eloquence really makes me wonder how I ever could have thought myself to be a good writer... I started on a fic last night based on the Digimon second movie. I was watching it (again) the other day when I wondered why Yamato didn't answer Taichi's call even though he seemed like he knew who it was (the scene where Yamato's grandma answers Taichi's call and then accidentally hangs up on him ^-^). So, anyway, I started writing, and I was surprised to see that it wasn't a yaoi fic! Lol, my first one, I guess. But then, after about 20 pages, it started getting hints of Taito. I dunno, maybe I'll write a non-Taito version too. I'm really lazy right now, though. I've ignored my mail for ages, and I haven't updated K&K either. *bares teeth* I hate Yahoo pagebuilders, it's too hard to work with. I'm starting to get annoyed with this layout. It's nice, but I'm really in the mood for a Touma and Seiji pic. And maybe a nice blue layout, the color of Touma's hair. ^_^ Ack, gotta get started on that book about html!
Friday, July 27, 2001 12:35 a.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
Arghhh!!! What the hell???!!!!!!!!! The damn idiotic TV producers married Ken to MIYAKO???!!!! And they didn't even marry Hiakri and Takeru! Those two were the most obvious couples!!!! Okay, I'm still not over the fact that Yamato and Taichi aren't a couple, and I'm definitely not over the fact that the series didn't leave the coupling up to the fans, and I know that since this is most obviously a kids' show, they can't possibly have yaoi because it'll *rolls eyes* corrupt the kids or something, but NOT PUTTING HIKARI AND TAKERU TOGETHER IS JUST WRONG!!!! WRONG, I TELL YOU!!! Okay, I can accept no Yamato/Taichi, okay, I can accept no Ken/Daisuke, okay, I can accept no Koushiro/Jyou, for the reason mentioned above, but it is absolutely the last straw that Hikari didn't end up with Takeru!!! For Christ sake they're a straight couple! Why can't they be together? And the fact that Yamato had kids with Sora (married but divorced is what I hear) and Ken married Miyako (her dream before she found out he was the Digimon Kaizer *rolls eyes*) is just way too twisted! There were no hints at all in the TV series that they even liked each other that much, so it's kinda random to throw them together at the end of two long season. I could just go over to Japan and kill those people. I swear, coupling people and not coupling people up like that is the biggest mistake they made in Digimon! *about to blow up in justified fury* And what the hell?! Taichi is an AMBASSADOR?! To the DIGITAL WORLD?! AND AGUMON WEARS A SUIT?! Next:Yamato. HE'S AN ASTRONAUT?!! THAT'S SO RANDOM! WHY DIDN'T HE JUST BECOME A ROCK STAR, LIKE HE'S SUPPOSED TO?! AND GABUMON'S IN A DAMN SPACE SUIT SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR HIS HORN!! Okay, I already ranted about the marriage to Sora... I'm okay with Jyou and Mimi and Koushiro, cos they turned out the way you expect them to, but argh!!! Ken and Miyako??? Scary, is all I have to say. And I thought that Daisuke deserved better than pulling around a noodle cart after being the hero of season 2. He definitely deserves better! Now... the issue of my fury... it is impossibly unfair about Hikari and Takeru. I really don't want to say much more. The anger and frustration might give me ulcers... The only one I can say that seriously looked as good as he did in their youth is Ken. Boy, that boy is still a bishonen! Everyone else just looks ugly. And they did not have "such beautiful children" as one fan put it. They look just as bad as their parents turned out. I find that any children in the Digimon series that's not a main character tends to look ugly, as well as the adults. Apparently they only bothered to make the main kids look good. Dumbasses...

I watched the Digimon movie today. It was so cool!... up until the point they brought in the second season. I can't believe the stupid American version had all the movies stuck together into one! But anyway, it was a great movie. I thought that the animation could have been a little better though. It's just not as clear as the TV animation. Anyway they made Daisuke really weird, as well as sorta implying that Taichi and Sora liked each other, even though they're just childhood friends. *mad* Why do they do that if they say Yamato and Sora had kids at the end of season 2? Besides, Yamato and Taichi are soooo mmph mmph MMPH!! *gets gagged by Mimato, Sorato, Taiora fans* MMPH MMNNMPH MMMPHHHH!!!! *gets free* GET AWAY YOU CRAZY BITCHES!!! GET AWAY FROM MY BLOG!! I loved how the movie was so serious yet sneaked in comedy at the same time. The following scenes from the Digimon movie were just way too precious: baby Taichi's two "graceful" descents down the bunk bed ladder (Wahahahaha, I couldn't stop laughing at that one! Baby Taichi was so adorable!), baby Hikari blowing her whistle by means of communication (so that's what the whistle is for...), baby Koromon "kissing" baby Taichi in the face by wrapping itself around his head (effectively suffocating him, but very cute! ^_~), junior high school age Taichi sliding bonelessly down over the back of the sofa (awww, poor Taichi was sooo stressed), Taichi's expression as he tries to call all the Digidestineds and no one's home (especially after Yamato's grandma accidentally hangs up on him!), Taichi's expression as he watches Koushiro drink all those healthy and disgustin drinks his mother concocts ("Izzy, you're the bravest man I know."), Taichi looking pissed and feeling dumb because Koushiro happened to mention that Willis from America was only in elementary school but was already taking classes in college ("So what? I'm in junior high and I take classes at JUNIOR HIGH!!") Yamato and Takeru looking weirdly at the villagers whose computers they're using (they had to be nice because it was the only computer they could find on short notice ^_^ boy Yamato sure looks great, even if he's still in junior high in the movie. He almost looks like he does in season 2... maybe it's that shirt he's wearing.) The following scenes are one that I thought were really moving: Hikari blowing the whistle desperately to try to wake Greymon (*sniffs* it was so sad, cos she was so frail and she looked so weak and helpless), baby Taichi taking over the whistle from Hikari and blowing for all he's worth with all his future Digidestined friends watching him from their windows and silently cheering for him and Greymon wakes up to defeat Parrotmon! (Oh god that made me cry! I love glorious victory scenes!) Taichi and Yamato both become digital and reach their battered digimon. They looked so forlorn and lost as they try to awaken their half dead partners. Metalgarurumon and Wargreymon digivolving into one huge gundam-guymelef-like digimon and defeating Diablomon (Oh, that was a wonderful victory! Running Diablomon through with a sword with Yamato and Taichi on his back!). It was really cool to see Patamon and Gatomon digivolve to their mega level. I didn't know they could do that! O.o Oh wait, that movie doesn't fit in with the TV series anyway, so I guess anything goes. But still, I wish I could have seen the Japanese versions instead. And I also want to see "Diablomon Strikes Back" (cheesy title) which came out this march in Japan. Metalgarurumon and Wargreymon digivolve together again, as well as Imperialdramon. Two dnadigivolve thingy in one! Well, Taichi and Yamato's digimon don't dnadigivolve, but what they do is close enough. One of my favorite quotes from Taichi: "It's just like riding a bycicle. Now start peddling and digivolve!". Somehow, I don't think that writing the digidestined all grown up at the end of season 2 was a very good idea. They shoulda left the deciding of the couples up to the fans. I shudder to think that Yamato and Sora had kids together, but hey, they never said that they got married! ^_^ Ugh, I getting depressed just thinking about how things turned out in the end. Stupid TV producers really just should leave that kind of stuff up to the imagination of the fans, especially since none of the kids showed a particular interest in each other, except maybe for Takeru and Hikari. I can't believe that they went and paired people up like that! Especially with Yamato and Sora. That was just plain dumb! Yamato and Sora don't even talk to each other! Not to mention, if Sora was going to be paired up with anyone, Taichi would have seemed like a reasonable choice, since they did grow up together and they actually like each other (as friends!). Stupid dumbass TV producers... Whoa, I'm really on a Digimon obsession spree, aren't I? Damn I'm even thinking about writing a Taito fic...

Yay!! Lani agreed to be my beta reader!! And it looks like she read my FY fic (the 25 pages that I have so far) in one sitting!! Thank you Lani!!! Hugs and kisses to you forever!! I'm so moved! *sniffs* I think I'm going to cry! *watery eyes* And she even found a mistake! Yay! I mean, it's not good to have mistakes, but the fact that she caught it... Geez I sound like this girl I used to know who was thrilled when she got her first flame... ^_^ Actually, I can't wait until I get my first flame. I need someone to bash verbally and that closedminded clod would be perfect, whoever he or she is. I think that this is why I've been avoiding my closest friends lately, cos if I talk to someone for more than 5 minutes, I could very well blow up in their face. ^_^ Oohhh, I'm so excited right now! I'm complying a list of the best anime songs (that I've heard) so I can post it under my Randomness page. But I'm really upset that I lost my lyrics to "Aoi Jiyuu Shiroi Nozomi". Ooooh, I was really psyched to discover that "Kuroi Tsubasa", one of my favorite songs by The Brilliant Green translates into "Black Wing". Soooooo sugoi! Wow, I'm practically glowing with genkiness... *shudder* scary... I was messing around on Selectsmart.com today and taking random anime-related personality tests when I found a YST/RW one. And guess what? I'm most like Seiji!! SUGOI~!!! And the second choice was Touma!! SUGOI~!!! My two favorite characters!! I'm so thrilled! And I took all these other ones and I'm most like Hisoka (YES!! SCORE!!) and Ken from Digimon (YES!! SCORE AGAIN!!) and Chichiri then Tasuki from FY (OH MY GOD!!! TWO FAVORITE CHARACTERS!! THIS IS TOO MUCH! ^-^) and Duo from GW (I think I'm about to faint from excitement and happiness...). Wow, I'm really lucky today! All my favorite characters! Hee hee hee!! *gets clobbered on the head by reality* Itai...

DNA Digivolving is so cool! There is something very suggestive about it, especially Daisuke and Ken's digivolving. If only they had it in Season 1... *sigh* I'll bet Taichi and Yamato woulda done the DNA thing together! *wink* Okay, wrote two more rants, have to find time to post it under Randomness on K&K.

I never knew a college essay was so hard to write... -_-;; I had to write one for composition class, and I couldn't even stay ontrack. I can't wait till classes are over with so I can start to enjoy vacation. I was up late last night making some changes to K&K, and I was really surprised when I woke up at 11:30, an hour earlier than usual! ^_^ I've also been thinking about anime characters that I identify with, for my 411 on K&K, but the only ones I've been able to come up were Touma (from YST) and Watari (from YnM). I can't seem to relate to any female characters... -_-;; Well, I always did say that if I could be reincarnated into anything I wanted, I'd want to be either a sloth or a boy. *pauses* but if you think about it, if I were reincarnated into a boy, then I'd probably be gay... Poor Ka-chan must either be really tired from watching little kids all day or really busy playing Neopets... If it's latter, I don't think I can forgive her for not blogging...

There's yaoi hints in the character image songs from every series. Kurama and Hiei in "Wild Wind", Touma and Seiji in "Cool Moon", Chichiri and Tasuki in "Aoi Jiyuu Shiroi Nozomi" and goodness knows what else! In all the bishonen duets, the two singing are always ones who make great couples! You don't see other people in FY singing duets, or for that matter, in YYH, or in YST/RW. I don't think there are songs for Heero and Duo, or for Quatre and Trowa, but then again, there are no duets at all in any GW soundtrack. There never were, and it's too late now to change that. If you think about it, GW's just not a series where you'd find duets... *shrug* that's really too bad. It'd be interesting to hear a duet from Heero and Duo. *snicker*

Whoa, the Penelope Gundam has got to be the most complicated piece of machinery ever! It's huge! Kinda dwarfes out Wing Zero or Deathscythe Hell, doesn't it? ^_^ Okay, wait, I take that back, the Nightingale Gundam is even bigger, it seems... Geez, I'm glad they stuck with agile looking gundams in GW... YAY!! Epidose Zero's coming out!! Yes! I've been waiting for this for forever! Eh... I dunno, do I really want to get the English version?
Monday, July 23, 2001 05:47 p.m. "The descendants of darkness wander in the night..."
I'm so bored! Well, actually, I have a lot of work to do, but I don't really want to. My fingers are numb or something, I can barely type. I feel like my brain's been wringed for creativeness or something. I have two papers to write, but I can't think of a thing! I watched the saddest episode of Digimon today! *sob* Poor Ken! He had such a sad childhood! He's my favorite from the Season 2 Digidestineds! Well, he wasn't so great when he was the Digimon Kaizer, but he turns really sweet. Anyway, I was bored and was flipping through channels today and I found Mobile Suit Gundam! I didn't know it started today! I'm glad I found it cos I've been waiting to see it for a while. I hope that after this Toonami will show all the other Gundam series. I especially want to see Gundam the 8th MS Team. Anyway, back to MS Gundam. Is it just me, or is there an annoying girl in every Gundam series? That girl Fraw (or whatever her name is) is so annoying! Just like that damn Queen of the World "I'm a rich girl." Relena! The art was good for something of its time (it IS really old...). I like the fact that the main character Amuro is struggling to learn about the Gundam (and is scared out of his wits by the way ^_^), unlike in Gundam Wing, where the five G-boys are already trained and experienced killers (Wooo, hee hee ^_^). Of course, having only watched the first episode (-_- why can't they show it any faster?! Dammit!), I can say already that I'm intrigued and am looking forward to meeting all the other important characters. Still, I don't think I'll like it as much as Gundam Wing. The art's just so much better, ya know? No wonder the Gundam Universe is so appealing and popular. The guys like it for the mecha and fighting (and explosions. Yay!), the girls like it for its complex storyline, evolving characters, and, the ever favorite, the bishonen! ^_^ I just visited the Gundam Project, THE site to look for any and all info on the Gundam Universe, and they say that the 8th MS Team IS in fact gonna be shown in the US! Yay!!! I just wish that Toonami would stop cutting off the opening theme songs. GW and the 8th MS Team have some of the greatest songs. I don't know about the other series, but these two are some of my personal favorites. I should just go rent 8th MS Team, but I don't want to go through the trouble of getting a membership card and going back and fro between the store and my house. Yep, lazy me... In a lot of way, Gundam Wing is different pieces of various Gundam series put together. It is probably the only series set completely apart from the entire Gundam universe, where usually the enemies are the Principality of Zeon and the good guys are the Earth Federation. Still, it seems like there's always a Char-look-alike (Zechs for GW) and some girl that the main guy's got the hots for (um... lessee, Aina, Fraw?, not Relena, I swear Heero hates her guts but the TV producers didn't want to say that outright.) Ack! What am I doing? I have a whole bunch of papers to write for my classes! I need to get to work or I'll never finish before Wednesday!

I don't like birds. The normal ones, I mean. I've never been pooped on before, so I guess I should count myself lucky. But still, it's because of the fact that the stupid birds have never gotten me that I feel like they're out to get me. I swear, everytime I walk across the courtyard of my school, all the damn seagulls and pigeons make a point of flying right over my head, as if saying ~We haven't gotten you yet, but one day, we will. You just wait and see!~ Yeah, I know I sound paranoid, but I'm not, really, I just don't like and never have liked normal birds. I like phoenix though, but that's not a real bird, so I stand true to my declaration.

Wai~! I'm in a good mood today! My violin teacher was nice to me today and didn't make me feel like a total loser! I actually stayed awake in class, considering it's at 9 o'clock in the morning! Hee hee! A good start to a good day, I hope! I almost forgot about my PMS! Ok, I think I'll stay away from reading fanfics for a while. A YST one nearly threw me deeper into depression. ^_^ Whoo, I'm happy! I think I'm high or something... ^_^;; Anywho, I got back to writing my long FY fic (the one that's almost becoming a series...-_-;) last night, after ignoring it completely for a week, and I got so much done! Considering how Yahoo pagebuilder only allows you to put only so much text on one page, I think I should really learn html. Maybe I should just find a nice site and copy their html source... ^_^;; Argh! Napster looks like it's gonna shut down for good! Damn! I liked napster, I Dled fast on it! Kazaa is just way too slow for me. I might even have to go back to buying cds! *gasp in mock horror* Ka-chan send me an email about hell and christianity... it looked like it was an extension of a conversation we had a while ago. Kinda depressing but still not enough to make me want to believe in the Christian's God. I mean, I go by the bible's morals and all, that's just a good guide to being a good human, but I don't really understand why I really need to believe in their God. Sure, I can feel Him sometimes, but not all the time. Okay all you Christians out there, don't kill me please or send me emails about this. I mean no disrespect, and my email's not there so you can lecture me about religion... I swear, I'm not in a cult or anything, so there's no need to say I'm a pagan... ^_^;

Okay, Touma-chan and Seiji-chan are DEFINITELY a couple! For chrissake, there's a picture of them in their PJs (NOT in SD form! I repeat, not in SD!) with Touma reaching over Seiji's shoulders to snatch at something that Seiji was holding (and in a very compromising position, if I do say so myself ^_^)! Ya know, those offical pictures that the original artists/producers published? And that picture is a part of a series of other Touma-with-Seiji pics! No other characters have a whole bunch of pictures with one other RW warriors like these two do! And in another picture (group pic) Touma is sleeping (like he always does) and Seiji is having fun tickling him with a stuffed gorilla! And he's SMILING!! Seiji never smiles!! Okay maybe he does, but everytime he's smiling, he's directing it at Touma!! I saw all these pics a long time ago, and when I saw Seiji smiling, I nearly passed out from happiness. Seiji looks really good smiling, he looked so happy with Touma... Also, in the anime, I seem to remember an episode where either Seiji or Touma was trapped somewhere and he felt the other one's chi and knew he was going to rescue him! Okay, so I can't remember exactly what happened, but it was definitely yaoish. -_-; I swear! The proof is staring you right in the face (actually, I am, trying to get you to believe me n' all...)

A bit of the thrillingly sweetness of Touma x Seiji is certainly refreshing after the over-enthusiastic libido of 1 x 2 and the star-crossed Taito. 1x2 is, shall we say... intense? Added to that is the constant threat of Heero shooting Duo on a pure whim. -_-;; And I say Taito is star-crossed because, sadly enough, it is. There are just too many non-yaoi fans, not to mention all the non-Taito supporters. The Taito group is a big faction, but I bet all those Mimato, Sorato, and Taiora fans are just itching to strangle all the Taito fans (Help~~!! I being one of them...) Therefore, I say depressedly, that Taito is rather doomed. (Aw shoot, and here I was going to make a Taito shrine too! Well, just thinking about how united the Digimon fans are makes me want to cry and give up on the shrine...) Not just these two pairings, but other ones, too, such as Kurama x Hiei, that warrants my dissatisfation. Kurama x Hiei is incredibly frustrating, because in the manga it's shown how they care about each other in a very roundabout manner (Kurama is always teasing Hiei, and Hiei doesn't trust anyone else to treat his wounds, they're always out scouting together, etc.). I don't think I've ever read a particularly extraordinary K x H get-together fic. As for Tsuzuki and Hisoka, my current pets... *sigh* What can I say about those two...? Tsuzuki loves Hisoka (Matsushita-sensei as much as says so in vol. 3, and in vol. 6 Tsuzuki admits it to Hisoka in a random moment of wacky insanity) but poor Hi-chan's too closed up to open up to anyone. And even in those rare moments when Hisoka lets his guard down (i.e. loses it) they're both too distraught over their missions to do anything about it. I swear, it's hopelss. Matsushita-sensei will probably keep it suggestive. After all, she's nothing like Murakami-sensei. Speaking of which, I think Yuki and Shuuichi are sweet, but a little too graphic. Another one of my favorites are Count D and Leon, but personally I don't think they'll amount to a good fic together. For one thing, Leon's too... typical American maleish, and second of all, Count D doesn't like humans... Well, that pretty much covers what I think about my favorite s/s pairings. The pairings that make the best get-together fics are Touma x Seiji *Touma cheers in background* and Taito *Taichi and Yamato cheers*. Ackk!! *horrified* I missed my favorite fic pairing at the moment!! I can't believe I forgot about Tasuki and Chichiri! *In the distance Tasuki is heard yelling "Rekka Shinen!!!" and Chichiri is heard uttering a faint, indignant "No da!!"* ^_^; Hahahaha... well, is it just me, or has Tasuki x Chichiri become quite the FY trend lately? Ne, everyone should read Mobius by Miko no Da. It's the best Chichiri/Tasuki fic I've ever read!! And it was a get-together too! Along with my favorite FY fic topic: reincarnation!!! Okay, probably shouldn't give away too much... Anyway... I think I'm on a Touma x Seiji binge (hey anything's better than 1x2 and Taito right now...). I haven't thought of them in ages, ever since Cartoon Network stopped running Ronin Warriors. Speaking of which, has anyone noticed that YST/RW has almost no supporting cast? I mean, there's the main five guys with the girl and the little boy they're supposed to look after, and then there's ultra-evil Talpa with his four darklords, along with the extremely mysterious and semi-helpful Ancient, throw in a couple of evil spirits, past warlords, and that crazy bitch Kayura, and you got the entire semi-sane cast (no way are the stupid smoke soldiers considered good enough to be actual characters...) Also, I can't help but think that Toonami's cut out a lot of scenes (and maybe more than a fair share of episodes too...). How is it that the story starts when all five guys arrive in the city with their armor and conviently develop powers?! I mean, they all had to first acquire their armor in some way, ne? Ah hell, maybe someday I'll see the original version of YST/RW...

Sooo tired... sooooo bored... such a bad headache... Hey, on the bright side, I finished two essays I was supposed to do for summer school! ^_^ Yata! Yata! *clutches head in pain* oooh, the pain... itai... I woke up with the headache this morning. Did I not get enought oxygen during the night again? I don't remember having slept on my face... I saw this book in the library the other day called The Art Of Dying. Cheery title, ne? Well, since I was doing a project on depression in my summer Social Living class (gotta get rid of that class so I don't have to take it later), I decided to get that book along with some other books I got on depression. I swear the librarian who checked my books out gave a really strange look... *sweatdrops*
