Anime Shelter died. I checked sometime late morning, early afternoon time and it was not there. ::hisses at Tripod:: It seems to be back up now, but I've found a new free host that doesn't have the obligatory banner at the top of the page so my layout isn't screwed up, so if Tripod goes against me again, I'm movin'. >(
I was away yesterday evening for a concert so there was no blogging. Not that the concert was at all what I was hoping for/expecting. It was Prokofief... ::sweatdrop:: I'll spell it right. ::searches through her tapes:: Prokofiev. Hey, not too far off. Anyway, he wrote Troika, one of the coolest and catchiest piece of classical music I've heard. So I was looking forward to some great stuff. I was seriously disappointed. All but the last piece was so very depressing and not in the slightest bit memorable. Sure some of it could have come from some neat soundtrack, but those parts were surrounded by the crap. It's the sort of music I listen to when I'm trying to freak myself out, or what I listen to when I'm in bed and want to have freakish dreams (just cos I adore torturing myself like that). And my dad made a comment which was annoyingly correct: "The orchestra tuning up doesn't sound too much different from the real thing". I think you can manage to imagine what it sounded like now, ne?
I used to think Prokofiev was one of my fav classical musicians, mainly cos of ::reaches for the tapes again:: the Lieutenant Kije Suite, with Troika. :D I adored that tape. Used to listen to it as a kid, crawling around wherever, coming up with neat stories and adventures. Every time I think of the music, I just remember when I was up north some time (not that during that weekend I actually left the cottage or saw anyone), mainly cos while I was there, I couldn't hear the tape enough times. Also while I was there, I had a strange obsession with spearmint polos. Thought they were the tastiest sweets ever made. And there was a little obsession with those sticky paper things. Names disappeared from my mind right now, but I was cutting them up and creating things with 'em. :D The inside of the cottage was so cool. It was a really old building, so the wall bulged out at the bottom and you could nearly walk on it. Just seeing that made my inspiration run wild. Don't ask why a wall was so cool, but I thought it ruled. Plus it was the sort of building where the walls were so thick that when there is a window, you could curl up comfortably on the window-sill. That's where I sat when I wanted to have a sad/sappy idea. :D Ah, memories... of no one else but me and my imagination. ::sweatdrop:: Ah well, those were the happy days of my childhood. I'm proud of 'em so don't mock me!
I'm late tonight since I was at Master's. We went for a cycle rid. Well, I was on the bike, she had her dog. But in some ways, it was good, cos I didn't need to worry about going to slow and just getting annoying. I did actually remember how to rid, and even when I did have the crappiest of balance, to be perfectly honest, I don't think I was ever much better on a bike. I'm bad enough of two feet! ;) Master kept buggin' me by trying to blow me over, and I swear it worked a little! ;) I'm being pathetically serious too! :P
I had dinner at her house, and we watched a little Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu. Last ep of the series, with its seriously crappy ending, and the 1st ep of Deluxe. Then we settled down to watch Merlin with Sam Neill and Martin Short... ::hopes she got the names right:: Never good with actors. ;) But that was after a problem with one of her neighbours. The guy was complaining about the mess. Master had just moved in not that long ago, I mean, seriously, it's just her and her mum. God, no sympathy what's so ever. And then he starts hammering away. Thinks he can make as much noise as he wants but there can't be a single thing in his way when he wants to go somewhere. Sheesh! It didn't help that Master and her mum have been having a lot of problem getting ppl to help them move. All anybody seems to do is complain. Particularly the guys who were supposed to lay the carpet. Bloody hell! Couldn't even move a few pieces of furniture cos they might hurt themselves, so they're happy enough to let a woman and a teenager do all the work. Ppl really do not have any manners any more. Certainly not in the UK anyway, from my experience, and most of my frienenemies'. But then nobody seems to have any common sense or curtesy anymore. Clearly must be an attribute they don't think is worth the bother of achieving. ...this topic is depressing me and I want to be happy before going to bed or I'll never have any neat plot-lines to play with.
Only one thing to do: Talk more 'bout Jungle! Always cheers me up. :) Watched Deluxe 3 about an hour ago. I didn't think Dama ba-chan could get any scarier. I was wrong. ::cowers:: So scary! I'm going to be so paranoid, if I ever hear 'Oji-san' again, I'm gonna freak. Not to mention, I bet I'll have seriously freaky dreams. Well, any dream I have is freaky in it's own way, but that's nothing compared to the horror that is Dama ba-chan. ... well maybe the fat man and the thin man from Seven, the only horror movie to ever scare me. Not that I even realised I was scared at the time. Then I turn off the light, get ready for bed and just expect to see a 2 looming shapes (or rather a huge shadow and what could be mistaken for a pencil if it wasn't moving) creaping towards me. Don't remember much else 'bout the movie. Just those two. ::shudder:: And they are what I want rid of the most. :S
I seem to have rambled from the point... I had a point? I have a stick! It's a pointy stick! :) In fact I have two sticks, but only one is for stabbing, the other's for tripping ppl up. ;) Well, I'm in a ramblingly good mood, so that's a good time to leave. Plus I'm tired. Doing any amount of exercise larger than taking my mutt for a drag tires me out, so I need to rest. Going to hopefully sleep in tomorrow if I can. Weekend so no one should be moving around and bugging me, plus no post so the dog won't bark. Sugoi! :D Just as long as those birds who seem to have made a nest above my room don't take a fit or something and wake me, cos this time I'm just going to break through the ceiling and kill the lot of 'em. Or throw 'em to the frogs. Teach them to dare come near my room, the life-destroying space that it is. Only I get to live in such a place. Anything dares to try and live here can end up like the last bugs that entered. They were captured in a bug-box (plastic tub thing that is supposed to be for little kids to study ants and whatever so the lid has a magnifying glass on it. That only helps to let me see my prisoners more clearly ;) ). Or rather, I captured the spider. I was going to let it out, but I was too lazy, so the next bug I saw, daddy-long-legs, I captured that intending it to be food for the spider, but they didn't interact at all, well, cept for the daddy-long-legs destroying the spider's intricate web that served absolutely no purpose. So they both just died in there. And then I left them to rot in the tub to teach others not to enter. It seems to have worked. Haven't seen another living entity in this room (if you exclude parents for the odd minute or to they come in here to dump clothes or give me instructions). It's so cool! >D Should I consider myself sadistic, freaky, or just plain weird? ::shrugs:: As long as it keeps away the majority of the population, I'm happy. ;) I wonder what it is that I 'eminate' that makes ppl avoid me, or rather attempt to insult me. When I'm called 'freak' and 'geek' or whatever they wanna call me, I get so proud. I just wanna turn around and say 'thank you'. :D But the best time was when these 3 little kids called me 'terminator'. Ah, that made my day! >D
I was leaving, wasn't I? I can't really remember any more. ::sweatdrop:: ...hmm... I need to make a sweatdrop one of these days. A sweatdrop on a stick that I can hold by my head whenever the mood passes by. Hee hee! Yeah, that's a neat idea. Unfortunately it's not originally mine. I read it... somewhere. Haven't a clue where though. ;)
Right, that time I really was trying to build up to leaving. Plus nature calls now, so I'm not going to hang about. It's beddy-bye-bye's time. ;) Oyasumi!

Well yesterday had to be quite a unique day in the history of my blog: not only 3 entries, but I clearly went insane while typing. :D But I think that little 'rhyme' was great! It's about as exciting as this blog will get, so make the most of it! ;)
Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe 2 was being really kind to me today and went at a fantastic pace, and I got to watch it earlier. Fantastic series! But I (Guu) don't seem to be the one causing the havoc no more... just making it worse. ;) Nah, still, me really really likie! :D And the new opening and ending rule! Especially the ending! And I don't just mean the music. The video is so cool too, not to mention amusing. It wouldn't be right if it wasn't, cos as neat as the original ending was, it just didn't seem to fit in all that well. You just couldn't sing along to such a serious sounding song when you are still recovering from all the laughter. ;) And instead of waiting until I can download the mp3s from someone on DC, I made my own. Sure it's only TV size, which just sucks, but there is no one to download off of just now, and I just can't wait. So I'm going to put the songs on my 'random' tape that I re-make every week or so, and listen to it before I go to bed. Maybe not the best idea for someone who wants a good night's sleep, but I don't care. I need to have something good going around my head before I can sleep anyway. >D
Now I get to decide what else goes on the tape. I can only usually fit on 8 songs of normal length at most, cos it's a really tiny tape that I stole from my parents. Thought it had cool music on it, but it ended up being part of a football match, so I don't think they'll miss it. ;) ::starts picking which should be chosen this time:: Ah, mou! So much good stuff! ::hangs head:: This is hopeless! GateKeepers 21 music... then there's Wolf Rain - Gravity! And the Condor Hero opening is pretty neat too... and I can't forget Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto opening... This is what happens when I get past the annoying must-have-or-I'll-die hyper songs that there is no doubt in my mind... Argh! I hate decisions! ::starts looking for something completely different just to make things even more complicated... then snaps fingers:: Bingo! Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex opening. Perfect! Now me go try and come up with some sort of order for all this...
::begins recording:: I bet it doesn't even fit properly after all this. The last songs will all be missing the last 30 seconds or something. ::growls:: But there's no other way. I can't live without 'em all! ;D
Now what do ramble on while I wait, cos I've got to keep my hands from getting bored and starting another thousand games of minesweeper. ::attempts to sing along to the Jungle Deluxe songs and fails miserably:: Oh wow! The original Love Tropicana song! Haven't heard the full version in ages! :D
koi shounen shoujo tachi
kirari hitomi hoshi irete
umareta manma no jyunetsu ga
hibana chirasu jungle hale nochi guu
yashi no kokage de tsukamaete
jirashite tokoton tokoton
gomen ne anata mou toriko
nigerarenai jungle hale nochi guu
And don't think that I typed that out while I was singing along. I'm not that fast. ;) Although I did try ;) I got about 1/3 of it, which was a lot more than I thought I could get, before I just went to the lyrics site and copied it. ::sweatdrop:: I can sing along and get the words right (even if I do sound awful), but I can't write japanese quickly to save myself, even when it's romanised. ;)
::pouts:: I so want the lyrics for the GetBackers 2nd ending. All I know is 'jump', 'go-go' and 'I love' (and I might be hearing 'sunshine' or I might just be making that one up as I try and keep up ;) ). Ooo ooo ooo! I think I heard 'sayonara'! Not that learning one word after it's been sung is of any use to me trying to... ::tape stops and Xi takes a fit!:: MISSING JUST 30 SECONDS! ACTUALLY 30 SECONDS! NO, YOU EVIL PIECE OF MACHINERY, IF I HAD MY WAY, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN MELTED AND MODIFIED IN WAYS ONLY I CAN IMAGINE. AND IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE! ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! ........ eh hem... calm... perfectly calm... Now I have to change the songs cos they ain't all gonna fit. ::sniff:: No fair! Well bye bye Jungle original ending. Need something smaller. ::skims her playlist:: Of all the songs I have, I don't listen to half of these. ::suddenly notices Fruits Basket soundtrack:: Well, that would be something annoying and different... Yeah, the good tracks are pretty catchy. Even the one that is just drums is pretty neat. Now I have the fun of deciding which tracks to fill the space with... :S
There got that all sorted finally ::kicks BitTorrents:: Now it's my downloads that are being cruel! Least Jungle Deluxe 3 is doing something, even if it is at the slowest possible speed. But there's no seeds for everything else I want. ::pouts, shuts the dead ones down and starts something else instead:: Well, there's no point sitting there with nothing going on. Might as well be constructive with my time... why am I saying that? I've never been constructive in my life. No, but I'm going to change that... eventually... ::sweatdrop:: Considering the alternative to doing something is doing nothing, I'm most certainly going to do something, cos as skilled as I may be in doing nothing, I don't wanna do that for eternity. :S
::new BitTorrent download stops too:: Oh go away! I'm not in the mood to yell at you. I'll just open something else instead. ::sweatdrop:: Why do I get the feeling this isn't going to be particularly productive? Well, when every new one I open takes up the full amount of disk space but does bugger all when it comes to downloading the data to actually fill the space, I can see a problem. Lucky I made a ton of CDs today to make up for it. ;) Oh, I spoke too soon. This one is moving. Just another 89 hours to go. ::growls::
My head is beginning to hurt, so I'm off to watch some anime and get my supper. Only problem is finding something edible that I like. Well, if worst comes to worse ::has a feeling this phrase ain't quite right::, I can always eat my dog! Itadakimasu! >D

Tadaima! Wow! 3 entries in 1 day. Really is a record... or just proof that I'm really really bored! ;) Anyway, I never did find the perfect hyper j-pop station I was after. Just settled for a random station and read more Fruits Basket.
I want a pet snake... a talking pet snake... that can transform into... Ah, I just want an Ayame! I need! >D So hyper, perverted, idiotic and so damn hot! Ok, 'he' could easy be mistaken for a 'she'... I did think he was female from just pics in banners and such, and was expecting a female voice, all calm and full of etiquete (or whatever the word is). Then he talked! And his speach is so cull, full of unneccessary words, and exagerating whenever possible. Plus he has that shop! I just wanna get him to make me all my fav outfits. ::squeaks:: Want want want want want!
I am Shigure anyway, since he is so scarily like me. Even while I was reading it, I took up the same stance as he had just as I opening the page. He even stabs ppl in the side! So classic me! So I get so overjoyed when he and Ayame 'talk'. YAY! :D
Need to get more. Wanna know how much there is going to be of the manga, since the anime really doesn't finish. It just stops... but then the majority of animes I have the entire series of, do that. There must be something against endings... actually I have the same problem with my own stuff. Never an end. Just a stop. Always leaving things open for sequels, and rarely coming up with one. ::sigh:: But then the anime never does get all the junishi characters. It's missing 2... I think... I've kept trying to work it out, but every time I try and remember everyone, I always end up with a different number. :S
::sniff:: My Jungle Deluxe 2 download still hasn't managed to catch up to where it was when compy crashed. So cruel! Still another 22 hours, if there is anybody to download from constantly. ::checks again:: And now there isn't! :'( And I thought Deluxe would be easier to get since it's being released recently, so more ppl would be after it. I was a fool! Why would things get easier? ::sulks::
Least the Nanaka 6/17 download is actually doing better than earlier. Me like that anime. It covers a pretty neat idea. Anyone with a 'multiple personality' of sorts, I wanna see, just so I can compare. ;) Plus the opening song's really catchy. ::starts listening to it again:: Wooo! Yeah! Wooo! ... and a whole load of stuff I don't know. ::sweatdrop:: I really need lyrics for these sorts of songs. :) Oh oh, english lyric: 'In my day'! Nope, that's all I know! ;)
Really wanna learn some more Japanese. Although I can surprise myself with what I know, like when my mind translates a line in anime before having read the subtitles, I still can't form sentences. Well, 'cept ones that are probably grammatically wrong. 'Ore wa baka desu!' :P That supposed to mean 'I am an idiot', and I know I used the male form for 'I', but I don't care. It's fun! :P It's not like I'm feminine anyway ;) My mind has been saying 'ore wa... ore wa...' constantly, but it doesn't know any other way to finish the sentence... although there is 'ore wa genki' which I think means 'I'm happy'... and then there's 'ore wa benki': 'I'm a toilet'. Thank you Jubei-chan for that useless piece of information. ;) But if I were to start listing all the japanese I know, 1. it would take way too long, and half of the time I'd be trying to remember stuff, and 2. I don't even know if I'm learning it right. After all, I'm teaching myself, and that can never be good, no matter what the subject. ;)
I really wanna know how I manage to ramble when I have nothing to say. It's a skill. I wish I'd never taught myself that! ;) Nah, who am I kidding? It's fun! :) But I really do talk too much. This said by the one that usually sits in a corner silently. I have a mind that has much to say, but a voice that is never heard. ...Ooo! I'm sounding pretty neat here. ::sweatdrop:: Eh hem, anyway...
I've pretty much wasted this entire day. I was going to do stuff today... but that was a waste of thoughts. ;) Alright, but tomorrow shall be different. I've still to finish the 'cleaning of my room' that the therapist said I should do before I next see her. Basically, the next task is dusting. Oh crud! With all the dust in here, I'm surprised I'm still alive! ;) Or maybe I should be more worried about the dust being alive instead. ;)
I'm going I'm going I'm going. I'd better before I ramble some more. Oh, I'm rhyming! :D ... ::shakes head:: Ignore the thing that resembles me, cos it does not deserve what it takes for a life even when that 'life' is barely a life at all. ... One might think... Two might do... Three went weeee... Four went out the door... Five sat on a hive... Six hit the bricks... Seven ain't worth livin'... Eight are through the gate... Nine get on just fine... Ten fine young men! ::is currently dying of laughter:: What the hell is going on!?! See, this is what blogging does to me? Or is this what a purposeless day does to me? Either way... whether way... each way went that way and I do say... HELP ME!

::moans:: Noooo... stupid computer! I was working fine on the Fusage pic, and then it goes and crashes on me! I lost the majority of the shading I'd done. And worst of all, the BitTorrents had to back to 0%. Right now both of them are at going to take 33 hours. ::sigh:: Now I don't wanna touch Photoshop again... so I'm bored and have returned!
... but I have absolutely nothing to talk about. Sucks! Don't know why I'm in such a bloggy mood today. I can't be bothered doing anything else. I just wanna sit and listen to annoying j-pop music while figiting with something. And it has to be the most annoying stuff I can find. Right now I've been listening to 2 Bon Bon Blanco tunes, the 2nd ending to GetBackers and whatever came on that single. I need lyrics, not that I'd be able to keep up with them. ;)
Hmmm... I know what I'll do. I'll got find some j-pop radio station... if I can remember the site for 'em... www.live365.com... I think... yup, that seems to be it. Now the problem of actually finding a radio station that plays that sort of hyper fun music... ::sigh:: And it's not easy. Too many stations just play soundtracks, or play although good music, is not the type I wanna listen to, like Utada Hikaru. But I shall not give up! There has to be someone with the same taste as me... no no no, wait, maybe not, considering I have a very strange taste in music, what with the weird music by Skye that do re-writes of classical stuff in a non-traditional way. They're cool. :D
Anyway, I'm off. I can always just listen to random music while I read Fruits Basket manga. I never pay much attention to what I'm listening to when I'm reading. I always tend to notice what sorts of songs that are being played at least 3 songs later. ;) I wonder if I'll be blogging even later today... depends if I actually find something to keep me occupied, and the computer stays alive for the rest of the day. Itekimasu!

Ok, I'm fed up playing mindless games while I wait for Streamload to do something, so I thought I'd blog. Apparently it's delivering a pizza right now, and has been for at least the last 5 minutes. ::growls:: And now it's gone and made me hungry! Evil thing!
Not that I have much to blog about right now, considering it's still the middle of the afternoon and I haven't done much. Although I have watched the first ep of Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe. It's just like before. It just completely ignores the plot-line that they finally put into the last series and just shoved Hale & Guu & Weda back in the jungle. Well, it just means I (Guu) have more ppl to torment. >) And now Weda... ah, I won't say. Don't wanna ruin the surprise. ::laughs evilly:: This is going to be so much fun for me! >D
I'm sure there was something else I was going to mention... but now I've forgotten. Distracting myself with Jungle. Oi oi...
You know, I think I'm getting paranoid again... actually, I don't think it ever stopped, I just managed to ignore it for a while. But right now I'm alone in the house (haven't a faintest idea where my dad's disappeared off to... I thought he'd just gone into town, but he would have been back ages ago if that was the case :S ) and I keep thinking I here a car in the drive, or the back door open or close, or just generally floorboards creaking (although that could happen without anyone being there considering this is my house and it does it all the time anyway). But now I had to go look around for signs of life downstairs again (didn't find any. just the dog, but he was as dead as usual) and I've returned with a packet of cheapo Safeway's crisps. And I'm puttin' on weight too. ::sniff:: No fair! Alright, nobody actually notices anything looking at me, but the scales tell all! :S I haven't been binging on chocolates or anything lately either. Been pretty good on the whole 'no sugar' front... well, minus the couple of jaffa cakes I've been having at lunch every lunch time since we've run out of the usual healthy Fruslis or nutty bar things. But that shouldn't make so much of a difference. This is what I get for using so much energy when Pan was here then having to take a break from the usual amount of exercise. Crud! Which gives me all the more incentive to do the cycling thing that my therapist suggested. I shall defeat this M.E...
Yikes! Ok, that's what I get for ignoring my paranoia! My dad comes up behind me and frightens me! Well, least I know I'm not alone in the house now. ;) ::shuts door incase she sings or talks to herself:: Must have my privacy. ;)
And still Streamload says it's delivering a pizza! >( I'm not using up so much of the bandwidth... Only got 2 BitTorrents up. That's it. Refresh! Take that Streamload! Ha ha ha! I win! You lose! You suck! I rule! Hee hee, I adore saying that! :D We-hey, it seems alive again. Alright, back to work. ::sigh:: I'm only at 'B'. Got the whole alphabet to get through. ::groans:: I think I'll get to 'E' or something and upload that, then work on something else. I can't stand doing this for weeks and weeks which is what it's going to take at this pace. :S
If only I had something else to give me a little break. ::snaps fingers:: Oh yeah, all those piccies I've scanned in. Need to start editing them. I was editing Fusage's character pic... but I couldn't finish it off cos having to stare at him for so long was killing me ;) Oh, just wait until I get to Ifetifua! I'll be in hysterics. And the wonder that is Photoshop, I can cause havoc to them all too. Dye their hair, transplant heads, warp their shape, not to mention all the strange filter-things that I can use. >D One more series for the Streamload list, and that's the plan for the day.
Anyway, the page I was actually after has finally loaded, so I'm off. Don't know if I'll blog again tonight at the usual time. Depends if I have anything to say (although that rarely stops me from blogging anyway) and if I can be bothered, or I might be too busy 'playing'. ;) Anyway, mata ne!

::kicks Streamload:: Mean thing! It's being slow again, although admittedly better than last time I was trying to do stuff with it. Nearly finished all the 'A' files that I'm adding to the Streamload list. Just got Azumanga Daioh to sort out. :D
Streamload also apparently ruined my X ep 20 download, so now I have to wait until I get to download it again. Alright, until tomorrow. It's not so long, but it's the principal! Once I get that, then I'll be able to see the rest of the series. >D
Anyway, been watching tons of anime today. Catching up on everything I've downloaded recently. Now my dad's come home, he disconnects me if I'm using up too much bandwidth and he wants to do something, so I think I'll need to calm down on the download front ::pout:: With so many new releases too... :'(
Hmm... let me see, what did I watch? Eto... I know I watched an episode of Hyper Police. That was one of the very first animes I downloaded, and it's still ranked pretty high. And now it's episode 14, and this samurai guy from the same time as Oda Nobunaga has appeared... forgotten his name... Sakurashin or something... wasn't paying attention to his name. ;) Anyway, he's mistaken Sakura (aka me! >D ) for his girlfriend or whatever, so I really wanna get more. Funny that he hasn't payed any attention to the fact I have 8 & a bit tails. ;) Once I finish with X, Hyper Police is definitely what I'm after next. :D
Hmmm... I've forgotten what else I was watching. Oh yeah, there was an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The Tachikomas are so cute! I want one for a pet! Wouldn't need to worry about accidents or anything, since it could blow up anything that's a danger. Sweet! >D
Nothing else sticks in my mind enough to rant about, and I've done nothing else today other than the webpage work to talk about. ::sniff:: Aw, that means this is going to be a short entry... well, short compared to the usual anyway ;)
And I wanted to waste time too in the hopes that Jungle Deluxe ep 1 will finish for me to watch tonight. It's still got an hour & 1/2. ::sniff:: I need more! ::stops all other downloads and removes the speed limits:: Now, fly my download! FLY! ... ::watches it for a bit:: ... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't stop! Ah forget it! I've done this too many times, and I never win :'( ::goes to start up the other download again even when it wasn't doing anything anyway, when Jungle Deluxe comes back to life:: Oi oi, what do I do with you? ::yawns:: Oh never mind! I'll just watch it tomorrow. I'm too tired for this... demo... I really really really... no... must... resist... but... hour 20min... too long... and it would just wake me up and make me hyper for sleep which isn't good. Aside from anything else, gives me weird dreams. And if I have to wait, I'll be playing several million more games or Minesweeper & Solitaire and Freecell. You can't do this to me! ... um... am I rambling? ... I think that's a pretty obvious question... no no no... I think that question has a pretty obvious answer. The question isn't obvious... well, it is, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make... what am I rambling about 'correctness' for anyway. It's not like me lately, considering my rather slurred way of talking has been creeping into my writing. And I used to be so perfect with words, getting the right grammar and everythin', but now... this is not an interesting topic. You got something else in mind? I never said I did, I was just stating a fact. You don't need to state facts. We all know facts. We don't like facts. We like Nonsical Sense and it's many connotations... use words you understand before you try and say stuff cos you have no idea what that meant... how do you know? I'm in the same head, you fool! :P ...
Uh... well, that was different.. There you go, there's an example of what I have to deal with day after day. Rambling and gibberish and nonsical sense forever going around and around in my head as my 'me's have pointless conversations. Now just imagine what the ppl who meet me in the streets when I'm out with the dog think as I come rambling on like that to myself. Hee hee! The only thing that gives the general population an idea as to my true nature. The fools! They do not know the real me! Well, they know a really crappy me and that all the other 'me's are trying to get rid of, and if it weren't for my M.E. and the 'me's that get embarrassed, I would have managed. ::sigh:: I so wanna act like I do in my head. All hyper and bouncing around and enjoying myself... Right now I can barely walk, never mind bounce ;)
Oh that's it, I'm outta here. The download is still going to take more than an hour, & I'm no waitin'! I've got Figure 17 or .hack//DUSK to choose between for now. :) Itekimasu!

Wow! Haven't had a chance to blog all weekend! I have a social life! ::shock:: Ok, 2 days busy counts as a social life to me, but I'm a sad and lonely person who usually only has herself or the computer to talk to ;)
Before I ramble on about past events, I just wanna say to those interested, Anime Shelter has been updated with Chobits ep 2. I would have put that on the front page, but Tripod was being evil, and I couldn't be bothered waiting 15 min or more for the bloody page to actually load so I could do something. That's the only news regarding that anyway, since the Streamload lists haven't been touched since I last mentioned 'em. I've been busy :P
Alright, now I get to try and recount where the weekend went. Well Saturday was so much fun. Pan came round! ::does a little dance with the crappily wonderful fans made out of paper and pens:: Been so long! ::claps:: Other than the obligatory showing on anime that I have to do when someone comes round since that's all I have to offer as amusement under normal circumstances, we also played as kids should in my pond catching frogs. ::huge grin:: Been ages since I've enjoyed myself so much outside! ...actually it's been ages since I've enjoyed myself with someone other than me... probably been ages since I've enjoyed myself that much at all. ;) I got so good at catching them. Pan said I'm like a veloceraptor (can't be bothered checking if I spelt that right). Cool! Frogs never see me coming 'til they're in the tub. This was all happening cos my mum wanted rid of 'em. She sees them as a pest. The only thing annoying about them is the attention it gets from passers by, and more annoyingly, the neighbouring children who keep wandering into our garden. :S Anyway, we were trying to get all the frogspawn out (an impossible task really, but certainly the worst of it's gone now). My mum just decided to fling the frogs over the wall with it. Didn't make any difference anyway, cos I think they all came back (well, all that survived the fall, that is ;) ). To be perfectly honest, I think the pond looked better before we tampered with it, but that's probably cos the plant got pulled out of the middle. ;)
Anyway, it was so much fun. I do so adore playing! :D Ok, it killed me, and my legs are still sore today, and my energy still hasn't been brought back up to it's usual level (even if that is low anyway). Ended up spending the last hour or so on the living room floor. Pan seemed dead too, but she had been awake for 20-or-something hours, so I guess she had an excuse too ;)
Then yesterday, Master demanded I come visit that evening. Sure, after not getting to recover like I'd originally planned, I wasn't exactly lively, and didn't say much other than 'Shalanla' and 'Banyai', but we were watching Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu so wasn't like I needed to be particularly alive in the first place. ;)
I've got the entire series of that now! YATTA! But the ending was quite disappointing really. Wasn't ludacreusly (can't spell. don't care :P ) insane, or suddenly supremely sappily emotional like I was expecting/wanting. It was just an ending... or rather it was just a 'stop'. Thankfully I've got Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe to get now, so it's not like I'm suddenly being deprived of it. Yay! Plus, not nearly enough was wrapped up. It doesn't clear up anything about everyone left in the jungle. Sheesh! But I've still got another 13 episodes and an 'extra' (don't know what that is, just saw it available), so I'll stop complaining about that sort of thing now.
Was reading the second volume of the Fruits Basket manga today. I showed some episodes to Pan when she was here too. Maybe I'm being a different 'me' but the anime seems completely different now. A lot more... 'calm' I guess is the best word. Considering I nearly died when I watched it for the first time, it was quite a shock to see such a sane story in it. Well, if you consider ppl turning into animals sane, and to be perfectly honest, I do. :P But then when I watched it the first time, I didn't know they were suddenly going to go poof and turn into animals... and then when they... turn... back... ::fingers slow down as she starts laughing:: ... no wonder when I saw my dog next, I freaked out imagining him going poof and being faced with a naked grumpy old man. No wonder I fled back upstairs. And no wonder I couldn't keep a straight face when I next saw Master's cat either. Although to be perfectly honest that wouldn't be so... ::clamps head in hands:: Ah, mou! Stop thinking!
::breaths deeply:: Daijoubu... daijoubu. Eh hem... I can't think of anything to ramble on to now anyway. Plus I want some grub cos my stomach is now making sounds just like the frogs. Not that food actually ever shuts it up. In fact, it just probably makes it worse, but it's supper time anyway. And I have more X episodes to watch. Yay! Blood, cool fighting and end-of-the-world-ness! Can't ever get enough of that! >D
