Oh! Quick note that I didn't add in the below blog entry. One, I'm making a new blog layout (I'm not the layout whore Augusto is, but I do what I can do), which will be Angel Sanctuary themed (pretty art!), but I don't know how to do what I want to do, and two, the secretary of Key Club gave me one of my sister's old KC bulletins! ^_^ I'm sooo impressed.. I don't want to show you mine, Joan, you'd laugh at me. (Hey, you had four pages back then!!! How come? We have six ;_;) So, yeah :P Now, how do I make a layout where I have a picture in the left column and a picture on the right column and the blog entries scrolling up and down in the middle column? (::has never done something like that before::)

Shite... haven't blogged for awhile. Been really, really tired.

Either that or playing video games until dawn. ^_^ It's the finer things in life, right, Spencer?

I did play Super Smash Brothers Melee with my oldest sister until about three a.m., but that's not the point. (Besides, half an hour of that was teaching her how to play :P) She usually played as Mario (how conventional XD) and once she acquired the umbrella, she went a little cuckoo. Cuckoo as in *smack smack smack*, anyway. She racked up a lot of damage with that thing, but unfortunately, one cannot perform a KO with that umbrella, hence why for our first few rounds she had almost no KO's (I play VS. mode so that KO = point) and I'd smack her beaten up enemies out of the level :P Zelda has a really good smash attack. ::cackles::

Anyway, I saw Matrix Reloaded on Sunday... we were in the VERY FRONT ROW and my headache lasted all through yesterday night and most of today. Uh, some decent action scenes - but might I add that the sex scene NEEDED TO DIE. Really, really pointless (uh, unless it was to show that Neo is still "human") and rather over-done and waaaaaay too much of Reaves' butt. Even worse was the dance sequence, with much gyrating and jumping and sweat flying every which way. (I'm surprised the dancers in that scene didn't keel from the scent.) Oh, and the many see-through shirts that the females wore (the males were bare-chested; why wear shirts?) were so very fascinating. (I was amused to find that Earl didn't appreciate that, though :P After all, my illusions that my male friends were above that sorta thing were shattered when Casey told me that Kirsten Dunst was hot, and did he ever appreciate that one rain scene in the Spiderman movie. Football players, jeez.)

I went to Jessica's blog today ^_^ um, yeah. I left a comment with my blog addy, so she can see mine if she likes. (If she normally comes here I wouldn't know, since she's never made a comment.) Happy Birthday, Jessica ^.^ the 19th, right? I saw her today but forgot to tell her since I only saw her for like, two seconds. It was right after the test to get into AP U.S. History... I think I did okay, and I think I'll get in, but it was one crap essay. -.-; I don't want to think about it... I was really tired (we had CAT-6 testing earlier today) and I just wanted to crash. Blech.

CAT-6 testing actually wasn't so bad. Some of the reading passages were from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (yes, Sherlock Holmes), and that was a very amusing passage, and another was from Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey, I think I'm spelling that wrong). The poem about the sun killing the night had to go, though -.- so stupid. Dorkavorkian - 'scuse me, Vache - liked the story on Charlie Chaplin... hmm. It was a more interesting English test, although still really easy, but better to keep awake with. :) Anyway, gonna go crash.

Btw, Fakia is really cool and really hot and I hope he and Ahiru officially get together with out her reverting to bird form, because otherwise I have the squishy feeling that they'd still get together, and wow, that would be nasty.

[Just kidding :P]

Subject | "Disgust"

Disgust. It is not an uncommon word.

It is the feeling I have for myself for playing Super Smash Brothers Melee when I have two dialectical journals left to write. Which I'm doing now.

I know this is Earl's fault for lending it to me. Thank you though :P

It is also the digust I feel for the manga I just read. Now, I know there's trashy stuff out there, and I've ranted about it before.

But, er, what is the appeal in a manga about a young girl? Specifically, a young girl who is orphaned around the age of six and taken in by her kind and generous relative, who happens to be eighteen years old and male? In which the following happens: when that girl is fourteen and he is a perfectly-acceptable twenty six (and hasn't appeared to have aged a day), she finds her kind and generous relative has actually been sculpting her into his perfect vision of a female for the last eight years of her life, and so decides to begin making use of her.

Yes, exactly what you're thinking.

-__-; I'm so disgusted. The thing is, I really can't say it's THAT odd because anyone who's read Genji Monogatari (which is an extremely old Japanese novel written in the 1100's - first real "novel") would know that when Prince Genji first found Murasaki (his future wife), she was a very young child and he nearly thirty, but he was extremely taken with her pale skin and thick, dark hair (this scene sent shivers up my spine - he literally hid himself and watched her), so he kidnapped her before her father could come and get her, took her to his home, then waited until she was about twelve to rape her for the first time (the description in the novel is very generalized but it gets the point across quite clearly), upon which she cries and tries to get away, and he scolds her for being childish. Eventually, she gets used to it, but that's pretty much because she doesn't have a choice, since he quite literally closes marriage around her head. This manga is a lot stupider though -.-; This seems to be, "Oh, lookit the couple, how romantic to see them growing to love each other," while Genji had a whole lot of issues with just Murasaki and Genji (not getting into his other lovers, either).

PTutu 18 was great ^^ Ahiru! (And this would be an example of a perfectly clean show in which the dirtiest thing I've seen is Mytho [...] wearing a pajama shirt that just reaches his knees and no pajama bottoms, then proceeding to throw himself out the window. And yes, there's a breeze. But, thank heavens, nothing shows. (Not then, anyhow.)

Oh, and perhaps Uzura and her search for a "shippou-zura". But that's it!

Last thing: my sisters would find it interesting to know that our recently (not that recent anymore, is it?) married cousin is six months pregnant (how time flies by) and she's having a boy, and apparently her in-laws are ecstatic. I was hoping for a girl :x but little boys are awfully cute for awhile, so good for her. (When I said that, Mom made a disgusted face and said, "And then they get older..." ya think she's glad she just had daughters?) ::goes to work::

:P For the record, I finished my homework AND played Zelda and I will now go to sleep at a reasonable hour, so theeeeeere Earl. (I never thought he'd actually tell me to do my homework, either.) :)

This Zelda game is really addictive :O I'm more than halfway through though, which is a little disturbing because I've only had it for a few days. But it's good stuff ^.^ I'm gonna go to sleep now..

I just watched Princess Tutu episode 18.0... I WANT EPISODE 18.5. I was on the edge of my seat, then the episode ended -.- it was a very rude awakening. Anyway ^^ g'night, everyone.

:P Augusto needs to play the new Zelda game...

/me loves Zelda and thinks she's cool

I'm in the Earth temple right now.. I just entered. I keep wanting to throw the bird girl at walls just to see what will happen, but I have thus far restrained myself. For all I know, she could turn out to be like the pigs. ^_^ I want to play more, but I have to do some dialectical journals first... and the Key Club BULLETIN, TOO. ::freaks out slightly::

Mmm. I read the last volume of Angel Sanctuary today, and it was pretty good ^.^ not the best ending in existence, and I thought Setsuna was getting too philosophical for my taste, but that was to be expected, and it was a very fitting ending for the manga. There was, in the last chapter, a WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC picture of Alexiel and Lucifer that made me want to cry ^^ they're my favorite couple in AS... I really like them ^_^ they're so depressing. Omanga's image usage allows their stuff to be used as graphics and such as long as they get credit & a link, so I'll do that... ::grins:: It'll be the next blog layout. Expect a very black and white layout for the next one (color would not suit this couple)... I'm not a layout whore like Augusto, but I really want to have a fun layout for this. ^.^ It'll involve frames (or at least PHP or something or another), and I don't know how to do it O.O so I guess I'll have to learn, since I want it exactly how I see it in my mind. Maybe tables? (God, I hate tables.)

Man. Last night I stayed up until six playing Zelda. I'm addicted >.< this is so bad. It really is a great deal of fun, and battle tactics are, for the most part, greatly improved from the N64 games (I like the <> manuever a lot), but the enemies are a lot less classier (I'm missing the wolfos ;_; they were pretty), but they are harder, which is nice. I hate the rats though >.< I've lost like, a hundred rupees to them. ::bitter::

Tingle is still on crack, btw. And Earl was right: there is WAY TOO MUCH SAILING in this game. Only good thing about sailing is that I can keep picking up treasure chests from the bottom whenever I see a treasure marker, but that didn't do me any good while I had a 200 rupee max wallet, and now I only have a 1000 rupee wallet, and I want the 5000 one. -.- I'm a bit crazy for money.

Alright, back to the damn dialectical journals.. ::hisses at English teacher:: These are due Wednesday, but if I don't do them now, I never will. It's on To Kill A Mockingbird, which is really good so far, but if I have to hear more lectures from this teacher on it, I think she's going to make me hate it. ::despises The Odyssey:: Anyway, I have to do math homework too... yuck. I wasted so much time away with Zelda... damn it.

AND WHY ISN'T TALEEN AT HOME!? ::panicks::

Rebecca was great. Fantastic novel ^^ really lovely, really chilly, really freaking fantastic. I adored it... I'm going to have to quote a line from it for one of my IY fanfics, because it fits Kikyou & Inuyasha so very well. (I'm not talking about Rebecca and Maxim, btw, for those who have read it :P) Short blog entry. Oh well ^^; I have a lot of English and History homework... I already blew two or three hours reading Sanctuary, which I'm not really that fond of so I don't quite know why I bought it... (I'm going to buy something, let me buy a trash novel I enjoy.) Scratch that; sometimes I do enjoy it a great deal. I'm just in a rather dark mood, I guess :P while reading Rebecca, I decided to take a ten minute nap (I was very involved in the book, but I was TIRED), and so I programmed my watch to go off in ten minutes. Either I programmed it wrong or it wore itself out trying to wake me up(either one is a very strong possiblity), but I didn't blink my eyes open. And so I woke up again at four in the morning on page 146 out of 456 and panicked, just slightly.

Whatever :P I was done by 6:30. What an easy read, and I really don't think I was speed reading, either (like I did for The Three Musketeers). It was really just very addictive and the plot very memorable (extremely memorable, heavens). :) I'd recommend it to anyone.

I disagree with Manik about the ending, though :P

Hm :) Just wanted to say that I'm going to get started on Rebecca (it's my book report book for this grading period) since I'm reporting on it tomorrow (although I have a day to relax should I nead it), and that I bought Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code (only cost me thirteen bucks! How freaking cool is that :P), and that Kristi Yamaguchi is having a baby in October ^^ she's married to an NHL player (that's hockey, right?), which I think is funny since it reminds me of The Cutting Edge. :) But, I think that's pretty neat since I adored her when I was little (it was pretty darn cool to see her ice skating at the last summer Olympics). Anyway, gotta go read some 400+ pages :P wish me luck.

... Oh, my god.

:) This is going to be an entry of a great deal of blathering on Janice's part. Yessiree, it will, and you will be horrified. ^_^

My birthday party was oodles and oodles of fun.. everyone began to come to my home around four o'clock, and we ended up playing my HP Trivia game, which Tanya won ^^ we had dinner, and Taleen actually finished her steak before me, which is incredibly shocking (no one ever finishes their steak before me :P), and then we played Mafia for nearly two hours :P I got really great presents (from my really great friends), so I feel like talking about them :) Lookie.
