I can't do this... I can't do this... I can't do this... He's soooo daaaaammmmnnnnnn CUUUUUUUTTTTEEEEE!!!! KAAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! Overload! Can't take it! Too much! ... "I WANNA BUY THAT!!!" ... ::clamps hand over mouth:: ... deep breaths... deep breaths... calm... calm... phew! I can't look at it! My head's gonna blow! Oooo~ooooo~oooooooohhhhhh!!! But it's good!
Eh heh... Just taken a little break here. Not that I actually have much to add. I've only read about 15 pages of the manga, and I'm already going crazy over it! :S I think Kanmen (Dried Noodle! Hee hee! Dried Noodle-sama! Hee hee hee! :P ) reminds me of a Okiayu Ryoutarou character! In less than 15 pages, I can tell that? Oh dear... I have no life! :S
Before I go back to that, after posting what I said earlier, I never did mention my dream I had last night. And it was just too... uh... 'something'... to not mention it! ;) It was Matrix: Revolations or whatever the last movies called. Only it was partly real. There was a big factory that was supposedly for making computers, but the machines were harvesting ppl in it. And Neo had to go in and get inside the main core and jump up and down on these big green pillars until they were at the right height. Then something happened, I was there with the cast from Will and Grace watching the movie on one of those drive-in cinema places. And I pressed the button on the key for the car, and it actually drove over to us and parked beside us (and still managed to avoid all the other cars). Really cool! :D Then... then... can't remember enough... I know there were these mentally disabled ppl and I was trying to help them fill in forms but all the nurses were doing was feeding them jelly. Then... then... I was cycling... Saku was there... and she had a little sister... who called a big bad dog... and a mean neighboor... and they blew up my bike? Not to sure about the last bit. That might just have been something my mind came up with to fit in with what was left in my memory. ;) It was all quite odd and confusing! I can't wait for the new Matrix movie! But somehow I don't think my subconscious has quite got the right premise for what the movie is going to be about. ;)
Anyway, I've calmed down. Back to the manga? ... ::takes one look at the page she was at and starts squeaking and squealing and muttering cutesy jibberish:: ... ::cough:: Well, I seem to be better than I was. I'll try again! :P

Shock beyond all shocks (well, except me updating Anime Shelter): I updated Nonsical Sense! Worked all afternoon on that! Tough work for me, but I'm feeling pretty accumplished here. :) Screw Angelfire! I moved to a new host called Gexus.com. Never heard of 'em, but they seem pretty good. As long as they don't go down cos they are offering too much for free. :S Still, no ads cept 1 for using CJB.net for my address. And unlimited bandwidth! Weh-hey! :D
I was planning on going out today on my bike, but the weather was so crappy! Time for us to use the central heating again. It was so cold earlier. ::sniff:: Me no like the cold! :'( In fact (other than bringing in the washing when it rained), I haven't been out today at all. ::sweatdrop:: Oops. Heh. But I've done a lot of hard work, so that should make up for it, ne?
After finishing the work, I wanted to 'treat' myself with yaoi manga. Only none of the sites I knew had anything else that I wanted to get. So I stumbled my way through various sites, and ended up downloading yuri manga instead. I really am just one big perv, ne? ;P While the first one was 'okaaayyyy', it was so very depressing. Was amusing myself with it, tilting my head from one side to the other, going "Are you sure that's female?" ::sweatdrop:: The other one just plain disturbed me and I deleted it. There was nothing wrong with the story. It was the design. Something about it was so very freaky. Vaguely reminiscent of Sailor Moon art, I guess... only more glittery and shiney and just generally over-done with roses and sparkles everywhere. If that ain't enough to freak me out, I don't know what will! :S
But then I found a yaoi scanlation site that I had stumbled into before but forgot about. I'm downloading something about 'Instant Men' (think 'Instant Ramen'). Pour on water and wah-lah: one bish! >D If only that was as strange idea to my mind as it should be. But I swear I've had that sort of thought before myself... eh heh... ::sweatdrop:: But I'm desperate to read it. It was taking an eternity to download the first chapter, so I distracted myself with Love Mode. Ended up reading the entire first volume. Oi oi. I do get carried away sometimes. ;) But now I've got several chapters waiting for me to read them, and I'm still wasting time here! What am I thinking! Wanna read! Wanna read! Wanna read! Mata ne! :P

tired. been a long day for me. been a 'busy' day for me. 'For me' that is, so that don't take much. ;) Saku and Hynd visited (Saku's got me into the habit of calling him that, and I don't even think I can spell it right). Of course, Hynd's parents were there as well, drinking and 'being merry', not to mention telling awful jokes! ::groan:: I can't remember the last time I actually saw them. Obviously was on one of the hillwalking holidays, but I can't actually remember what the last one was... must have been at New Year... did I even see any of the group at New Year? I don't think so. ::sweatdrop:: Ah, I dunno.
Anyway, we had lunner/dinch (dinner at lunch time. strange habit my family has when ppl come to visit), then we went for a walk by the river. Well, much further inland than the section of the river here anyway. Sandstone cliffs with stone-age markings and a big bridge (tallest one in the UK, I believe). And lots of graffitti, some from over a century ago. Of course, the more recent stuff is just spray paint rather than actually carved into the rock. Lazy scum that lives these days. :S There was also a tunnel thing (which according to the 'dad's, it was for directing water for something). I really wanted to go explore down it, but we would have needed a torch. Should have sent the dog down it, but he wouldn't have gone unless my mum had (stupid attached animal :S ). But it was all cool. If only it didn't leave me so tired! :(
Also today, while I was waiting for them to arrive, was looking through some old links (like the ones that I have here). Caught up in reading Megatokyo. I actually noticed a plot! :D So addictive. But now I'm caught up, I'm at a loss without more to read. ::sweatdrop:: So I checked the manga sites. It's been a while since I checked J-comx. They have more Chrno Crusade! It's so good! Nuns fighting demons? Who would have thought that could be pulled off. ;) Nah, but Chrno is so kawaii! And so hot in his other form! I blame the pointy ears! Stupid fetish of mine! :S Still to get to the third volume. Can't wait! :D
Forgot to mention this yesterday: Out of curiousity, I had a little look at Anime Shelter, just to see if it still existed, or if Tripod had buggered up while I wasn't paying attention. It all seems to be there. Just for some reason, weird ad thingys have appeared for Streamload and MagicWaiter. ::glare:: If I ever get around to doing webpage stuff again, I'm finding a different host since tripod said nothing about adding more ads! >( Then I remembered I should check my Anime Shelter mail. Only 6 new emails. Thought I'd be bombarded by angry fans hissing at me for not uploading more Chobits or something. Not that I reply. ::sweatdrop:: I know it's rude, but I'm fed up with Anime Shelter these days. Too much work, and not enough of a reward. Also plenty of new posts in the forum. Never did check to see if ppl were still sending stuff. Cos I sure ain't. :S Oi oi! Then I just gave up and closed it again. I check my usual yahoo mail a little later, and Tripod has sent me an email saying about how my site is so popular that it is likely to go over the bandwidth limit each day. Uh... I haven't done anything with it for months, and it's become more popular than I would have expected of something of my creation. :S Oops! Oh well... not my fault I get distracted by other things.
Speaking of sites, I haven't checked Nonsical Sense lately... ::takes a look:: .... ::hiss:: Of course. More ads screwing up the layout! >( Nonsical Sense I actually plan on doing something with, so I'm going to need to move it somewhere else when I start work on it again. ::grumble grumble grumble::
Been having weird dreams lately. Last night was particularly infuriating cos it was one of those dreams that gives you a start and you wake up. All cos I pissed off a spider by flicking it's leg. It got angry and I swear it hissed before it leapt at me! :S Got back to sleep, but there wasn't really anything pleasant in the other dreams either. Filled with pissy ppl who glared at me as if I shouldn't be there. What brought that on, I have no idea? I was reading yaoi yesterday! Where would I have got bad feelings from? Maybe it's my mind reacting so something that happened months ago or something. Probably, considering how slow I can be at times. :S
The night before last was a pretty cool dream. If only I could remember enough of it, I could have made it into a story of some sorts. I know there were these parasite thingys that gave ppl powers. My power was to control plants. So I was fighting these other parasite-aided ppl by winding them up in vines and capturing them in giant leaf-made nets. Then I was fighting this guy who controled water. He was hot, but the parasite was evil and was possessing him, so I got freaked out and killed him. Then he melted. :'( Sucks cos in those sorts of dreams, the hot guy always tends to die. :S Anyway, his parasite then started trying to infect me... I just remember more of a different dream (I think it connected somehow, but I haven't the faintest idea how). There was this new form of Irn Bru. And there was Pocky! ... only it was muesli-flavoured, so it also came in big bars as well as sticks. Then I got pissed at one of the shops, cos they were selling each stick seperately. ::scratches head:: And that's all that I can remember. Ah well, I've had weirder. ;)
I think it's time for supper and... ::squeak:: DN ANGEL! Next episode finished! ::another squeak:: The gender-bending play! Woohoo! ... eh heh. What? That sort of thing amuses me! :P Well, I'm no sticking around tonight! See yah!

Just had a cat-stalker. Poor thing looked quite young and was 'mewling' away while me and Cat were walking along the road after we left Saku. Would never stay still, and constantly got under our feet. Petrified of cars and other ppl. Then it had Cat's siblings chasing after it by the time we reached her house. ::sweatdrop:: Poor poor thing! :S
Cat's leaving tomorrow, so Saku invited me to come and the three of us wandered along by the shore a little bit. They asked for another story about the Elves, but I believe I got 1 sentence further than I did last time and topics changed to other things... mice screaming "sudden death" if memory serves correctly. :S Amazingly there was very little singing, but there was plenty of 'arrrggghhh's as Saku remembered that today was 'Talk like a Pirate' day. Can't say beyond the 'argh', that she was any good at it. Pleating beards? ::sweatdrop:: I'll just ignore. ;)
Hmmm... what else have I done today? I was doing some more work on my Aoiko pic. I think it's pretty much finished now. I forgot to highlight anything, but the shadings all there so it's not that important. Not like my work ever gets overly detailed anyway. Just a question of what to start work on next. Another 'me'? The most important ones have been done. I haven't done the nice ones yet though, but it's only natural that I, Xi, stay away from them. ;) I do have other 'versions' of Yiefi, but I'm not overly confident in colour of clothes (not that she's wearing too much ;) But it looks really good! Want that outfit!). On the other hand, I could start work on some of my original characters. Been ages since I've done anything with the Legend Forgotten lot ('cept Yiefi, Fusage, Ifetifua and Idosadi, but I have a special connection with them ;) ). If only I had more confidence in attempting the more difficult pics I have. :(
And naturally I've been reading more manga today. Not just yaoi though. I finally read the Matantei Loki manga that I downloaded a while ago. Somewhat different than the anime in my opinion. Character-wise anyway. The anime Loki seems completely uninterested in everything human. But the manga Loki was different, and I don't like the different Loki (not that I'm overly fond of Loki in the first place. If he weren't a kid most of the time, he'd be just another bastard that I want to through rocks at from behind bushes. ;) ). But he did say one thing that I had to add to my 'cool quotes' file: "Cute girls are fine art created by God! Ignoring them is a crime! A crime!" I think that's a great line! >D It's not just Loki that's different. Mayura (or whatever her name is) seems to have 'intelligence' in the manga. :S That just ain't right. And none of the other great characters like Freyr or Narugami-kun have popped up yet. ::pout:: So I'll need to keep checking the manga out now, just to be sure the characters aren't so drastically different. Cos if they are, I will have to hunt down whoever wrote it! >(
Of course, I have been reading some yaoi too. More West End, a short thing with only 2 chapters, and something called Private Magician that has me intrigued. Matthew (an english name? what's with that?) comes out of a box! :D And he so reminds me of a character that Okiayu Ryoutarou would play (at certain points anyway), so I just gotta adore 'im! >D
That's my day. I'll leave and read more yaoi manga. Most definitely a bad idea, but I know I'll just end up doing it anyway, so there's no point pretending otherwise. Like last night. In the end, I did watch Onegai Twins cos the download sped up. But afterwards, I still spent half an hour with more yaoi manga. ::sweatdrop:: What? I couldn't help it! So now I'm off to do it again! :P

What is it about those eternally grinning perverts that is so appealing to me? They grin and I become weak! ::sweatdrop:: I just realised I spent a whole day with yaoi. Ok, I was at college, but my mind wasn't. Heh. ::sigh:: I doodled a nice pic in my physics notes. My version of the wolf-boy from Three Wolves Mountain. Ai yai yai I like much! Heh heh. Speaking of that manga, I found out how to get more of it: check the other scanlating groups site. Such an obvious thing that I never thought to do. ;) ::happy sigh:: It's good. While I was checking that site, I also downloaded another series called Koi wa Itsumo Arashi no Youni (Love is Always Like a Storm). Plenty of different yaoi couples. That's where the happy perverts were that I've been drooling over. Sakaguchi in particular (I think that's his name. I know it ends in 'guchi', but that's cos my mind was bouncing around going "Guchi-guchi-guchi-chan". I'm trying to ignore it :S ). He has glasses, which just makes him even more appealing (it's the geekiness I can't resist ;) ). Why can't harassing in real life turn out like it does in a manga? >D
::cough cough choke:: I don't have anything else to talk about cos that's all that's in my mind right now. I need to get more! ::sweatdrop:: But the mangas are really good! Oh yeah, and that West End I was going to read yesterday (and which I read some more of today). Pretty good. About an android prostitute. I like the idea. Heh. ::grin:: Oi oi! Really need to get out more!
...nope. nothing else to say. the mind's just wandering through sex sex and more sex... men men and more men... happiness... GYAH! I need to do something else! I can pretty confidently say I have no life! :S I read all those perverted mangas, then get disappointed when I remember I have to sleep in an empty bed. ::sniff sniff:: One sad and loney person typing right here! :S
Surely I've done something else today... well, physics, everything the teacher said went right over my head (as it was bowed down, doodling away happily. ah, the wonders of a college class where they don't get at you for doing that sort of thing! :D ). As for chemistry... the teacher rambled a lot but it was good rambles. Educationally humourous rambles! ;) At lunch, me and my newly found friend...well... ate, unsurprisingly. And she was rambling away at me. Hee hee. Apparently I'm always calm when I'm around her. My explanation was "my mind isn't here right now". True enough! ;)
::sigh:: I'm out of rambles. Oh, what to do, what to do. Don't have anything to do tomorrow so no need to rush to sleep (not that I sleep all that quickly. last night I drifted off slower than I would have liked. eh heh :S ). But I know if I stop rambling here, I'll end up going to download more yaoi manga. There has to be an anime of something that'll keep me interested enough to keep me away from it. I would like to watch more Onegai Twins (not that that is completely free of perversion, but it's got the whole 'sappy' kinda side to it that will keep me slightly calmer. ;) ), but the download is being stubborn and isn't going to finish soon enough. :( I would watch E's Otherwise too. It is at 98% just now, but it hasn't moved in 3 or something hours. :S I do have more Naruto, but it's so stubborn on my compy that I need a lot of patience to watch it. Too damn sticky! >( Then I have some Hellsing, but I haven't seen any of that in ages, and I don't remember it being fantastic. Just 'good'. I guess there is my Scryed DVD that I've still to watch more of. But that's not quite what I'm in the mood for! GAH! I'm impossible! I can always watch something I've seen before. Hmmm... something humourous... Kodomo no Omocha! Haven't watched that in ages... but what's a good episode (or episodes ;) )? Well of course something with... Hayama?... Haya... Ha... Akito! ::sweatdrop:: He's such a cool character! Plus he's really funny when he gets the ears and the tail. Not cutesy like normal characters are with ears and tails. Just fun! ::grins:: He acts on his impulses! >) ::thinks for a moment:: Kinda envious of him for being able to do that! ... ::tries to look innocent::
...haven't I repeatedly said I have nothing else to say today? It really is amazing that I can just keep typing when it comes to moments like that. ::sweatdrop:: But I'll leave and go keep myself busy (and attempt to keep myself away from more yaoi... must resist temptation!). Mata ne!
