I've been so bored all day! I've not been this bored since I got M.E. to begin with about 2 years ago! And to make matters worse, my dad cut off the power to his computers and I've only just got the net back! GAAAAAHHHHH!!! I've ended up playing so many games of Freecell! ::cries:: I loathe that thing!
So I've been sitting in this same seat all day watching Scryed. Finally seen the entire series! Took me long enough to watch all of those DVDs! I like that series! Slight problem: it leaves you to figure out half of the stuff... or maybe that's cos the subtitles weren't being overly specific, but it still didn't explain much. Confusing! But then it is anime! And it's a good anime! Cougar RULES! Such a cool car! It may be pink, but it's cool none the less! It go fast! ;) And his last scene... no fair! I don't wanna say anything to ruin it for anyone else though. ::pout:: No fair! :( But what really amused me was when Ryuhou cried! That was hilarious! I was dying of laughter! Hee hee! Ah, to mock is good! ;) But I want more! End was not satisfying! ::grumble grumble grumble::
Speaking of something I don't want to end: Stellvia of the Universe. I watched episode 25 last night! It's gonna end at episode 26! It can't! No! Not allowed! Too good! I demand more, damn it! Plus the cliff-hanger for the 25th episode was bad enough! They can't end it! :'(
... well I'm out of stuff to talk about! Sucky! Bored! So bored! If I was well, I'd solve this by writing, but I can't get words anymore! AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! I tried drawing a dramatic scene, but I don't have the patience for it. I get so far, and loose interest cos it isn't the same as the image that's in my head. ::cries:: Now what do I do?
... ::listens to her music:: ...
Well come on everybody
Let's get together tonight
I've got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
Well I've been doing my homework all week long
Now the house is empty and my folks ain't home
Woah! Come on everybody!
Wow! This brings back memories! Old-style rock and roll! Hee hee! When I got this, I was still writing My Star Wars Dream Thingy. I remember singing songs from this CD to Obi. He got pissed at me. ::sniffle:: Ah, those were the days! :D ::bursts into tears:: WAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I wanna write more! It always amused me!
Well she's got a pair in pink
Got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones on she makes me loose my head
Singing bababedoo-op fish-net stockings
Shoo-op badoobop when she's a-rocking
Bababedoo-op there ain't no stopping
Rocking with my baby in the fish-net stockings
I remember this song! With a slight alteration of 'she' to 'he' and Obi tries to kill me. >) I miss those days! ::sniff sniff:: ... ::goes and finds her what there is of the re-write:: Hee hee! Funny stuff! A story told from the slug's point of view. Only I would think of that! ;) Not that it's overly successful, but it's unique, and that's what My Star Wars Dream Thingy is all about. Need to write more... maybe I can give it a shot tomorrow. I'll be writhing in pain and my head will have exploded, but least I'll be amused. ;)
Ah, after talking about that, I wanna watch Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu now. So many similarities! Ah, what the hey! I'll find some episodes and enjoy that tonight! Gives me something else to watch! But what episodes? I have no idea which ones which anymore. Or where the specific numbers are anyway. Presumably there's some in that tub over there. ::glance:: Only a 100-odd to go through. Oh well. ::sweatdrop:: Not like I have to go to bed early tonight. Ah, the wonders of weekends and sleep-ins! :D Jungle! Here I come! ::evil laughter::

I've been at a loss as to how to spend my time these days. I'm bored and I'm not used to it. I'm lost! Even Compy can no longer 'fulfil my needs'. ;) Probably why I've been reading so much yaoi manga lately. Afterall, I can enjoy that, and I don't need to do anything dull for it. :) But I'm running out of mangas to download. ::sweatdrop:: Going through them all too quickly to give any of the scanlators a chance to translate 'em. Oi oi! :S
But what I have done today... I forgot yesterday about having my guidance class today. Least it's in the afternoon anyway. Not that I actually managed to sleep in. There were some weird dreams last night... midget guy... picnic... chocolate? Nope, can't remember enough to make any sense. But anyway, I might as well have stayed home since I didn't learn anything new. The tutor was going on about 'goal setting'. Geh! I have a goal... actually, technically I have 2. Astronomy and novel-writing. That's all I need to know. There is no way I'm keeping a 'goal journal' or any such nonsense like that. I'm not into planning things on paper. As long as I have a vague idea in my head, I'm happy. So :P to the tutor! ;)
Afterwards, I was debating with myself if I should go bug Saku at her home, since she skipped the class (don't know why), or randomly bug Li-chan, but then I came to the conclusion that I just wanted to lie in the sun so I went to my fav spot by the river with the arch-y thing again. Slight problem was, while the sun was out (kinda), it was kinda cold. So I ended up hunched up, glomping my own legs, and for some reason started reciting my fav bits from the Fruits Basket Drama CD, aka the bits with Ayame! ;) "Kimitachi wa baka da! ... BAKA WA OMAE DA!" That's the best bit! >) Then I stood watching a rabbit, reminiscing about my imaginary world from my childhood. I was a cat, with big pointy teeth and claws and had a habit of attacking ppl! ::happy sigh:: Ah, memories! >D
Got home to discover I'd been disconnected from the net again, and my dad was getting pissy cos I'd been using up all the bandwidth. So he sent my brother to 'clear out' compy. Nearly had to completely remove BitTorrent. But thankfully, he decided that wasn't anything dangerous to the network and just removed random other things that I didn't know. Compy seems ok, so I don't think he removed anything important. I think the might finally accept that the excessive bandwidth usage ain't some downloaded hacker program sending out all our information, but just me downloading madly like the complete anime geek I am. ;) ... or at least, I would be downloading madly if the downloads would actually move! ::kicks Compy::
And after that, I made some more CDs, and finished off what my brother got me started on and that was deleting crap out of the 'Program Files' folder. Cleared up a ton of space. Well, enough to last me another day of anime downloads anyway. ;)
But other than that, I've been mucking around, playing a lot of Mahjong and generally wasting time cos I'm bored, yet don't like my options of things to do. Doesn't help that I want to do something while listening to my music, which rules out actually watching anime. ::sigh:: Still, I think I'm so bored now, that I don't even have a choice. Plus this has to be the 3rd or 4th time I've listened to the Yami no Matsuei soundtrack today, so it's about time I had something else coming out of the speakers. But it's just so damn good! I'm such a sucker for dramatic orchestral pieces! :)
::sigh:: Ok ok! I'll watch anime! It'll keep me occupied for the rest of the evening... buuuuut... NO! Watch anime! No more yaoi! Even if you do want to read the Bronze manga, NO! Go! Be good and watch Shadow Skill, GetBackers or Stellvia of the Universe! ... ::hangs head:: Hai hai. I'm going! :P

I've been grinning like a fool for most of the last hour, and this line just finished me. I shouldn't giggle like that! ;) "Impossible... I won't ever be able to make it real. I guess I'll settle for the dreams - desperate" Hee hee hee! ::sweatdrop:: I'm reading the Zetsuai manga. More humour than the anime had. And Koji even seems kinda cute at times. 'Seme's shouldn't be the cute ones, but there we go. ;)
Actually, I can't say I have much to say today. Not exactly been a particularly eventful day. College was usual college. I doodled. Oh wait! I did to an actual practical thingy in Chemistry. And it worked. Just had to deal with the fact my hands have a tendency to shake, particularly when I'm doing stuff like that. It's probably a reaction from the 'me's having to pull back 'me's like Xilmin ready to use the chemicals in something slightly more 'interesting' >) But that was the only noteworthy thing.
... ::looks around bewildered:: I really don't have anything to say! Wow! That makes a change! I guess it's back to my yaoi manga then. Oh, what a pity! >D Mata ne!

I had no net for most of the day today! It was horrible! I was so bored, I even voluntarily did chemistry work. The first homework we've had... well... the first homework I've actually done (not that the lecturer really cares about that too much :) ). So that was an hour or two of dullness concentrating and killing my head. :S
You see... uh... have I even mentioned here that I've got a new garage now? I don't think so. Ha! Of all the rambling I do, and I still miss out bits. We now have a big double garage. My dad's even using it for his truck (something that we've never thought to use a garage for before ;) )! Now he's starting to move all his computers into there, so we had the electrician over today connecting up wires. Which meant my dad had powered off all his computers, and left me without a net. ::cries:: So I spent the hours reading all the mangas I'd bought in Glasgow, listening to music, amusing myself with really awkward puzzle things that probably came from a Christmas cracker or something, and collapsing on my bed, amazing myself with the fact that my nose is a different colour from my arm (nose = pink. arm = orange. ::sweatdrop:: stupid random tan :S ). And so went my day. I believe I also spent time just sitting staring blankly, letting my mind wander through it's imagination, enjoying spending time with my fav characters. :)
Still haven't managed to check out the Excel Saga DVD. Really bugging me, but I'll need to wait until some time when I'll actually get control of the TV and DVD player without getting disturbed, which probably won't be 'til Friday, what with college tomorrow. :'(
Well, I guess that's been the excitement of the day. The only other comments I have to make is: it's cold and I'm tired. :S Stupid parents leaving windows open everywhere. Stupid electrician waking me up in the morning!
Oh wait wait! There is something else I did. Once I got on Compy, I checked out the DN Angel Feber Artbook that I downloaded (sheesh! That is ridiculously high quality, it's kinda getting to the point where it's just a waste of space). There are some very nice pics. Noticed a new word of my vocabulary to go with the appreciation of bishounen: Hannyah! I was saying that a lot! >D Dark! Hiwatari-kun! Dark! Krad! Dark! Dark! Dark! Stupid Daisuke kept appearing. He may be the main character, but he's too dullishly cute for me. Too normal! ;) But even the pics with him in them, such great art! I'm so envious! I wanna be able to do that! ... yeah, right! I wish! ::cries:: somewhat out of my league! I'll just have to make do with admiring from afar! ::pout::
I think I'll go enjoy myself with some anime now. I haven't been watching much lately (what with all the manga I've been getting), and without a computer all day, I need to watch something! Just a question of what... but I'll talk that over with myself outloud, rather than ramble about the choices here. ;) Ja!

Yup! I'm back for the 3rd time this evening! This time in slightly more 'sober', yet 'aggitated' mood. The Excel Saga DVD is being EVIL! It keeps sticking, and then skipping bits, then playing at twice the speed it should with no sound. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Well, there went my good mood! I'm hoping... well... more like 'praying' that it's Compy's DVD/CD drive that's acting up and not the actual DVD. Cos if it is, I'm going to seriously take a fit and march right back up to Glasgow, demanding they replace it and give me compensation for all the trouble, complete with gun-stick and all! >( ::hiss growl claw rip bite::
::drags herself away from attacking the DVD drive:: I'll need to check it tomorrow in the actual DVD player. That'll be 'interesting'. My dad will get to see how insane anime can be! ... that is, if it works! But least I managed to watch the first 2 episodes uninterupted. It's just after 3/4 of the way through the third, it starts to screw around and piss me off ::kick punch snarl strangle slap sufficate spit... running out of angry verbs :'( ::
Alright, I'm done ranting! I'll go to bed and calm myself down with manga. There can't be anything wrong with that! ... unless a page is missing... or in the wrong order... or the ink smudged... or the pages are blank... AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Maybe I'll go unleash some anger out on the dog. He dared to mock me earlier! Wait... I was in pain... What happens when I try and move? Will my spine just fall out or what? Oh no... ::cringe:: I'm not looking forward to this, but my head hurts now too (probably with all the glaring :S ), and I want my bed! :'( Oh god, I've got ladders to face with a dodgy back! That'll be... 'interesting'... Well, I'm off to face the pain in an effort to survive the night in some relatively calm state of mind. ::grumble grumble grumble:: Stupid DVD! :'( Sayonara...

I'm in pain, damn it! Even the dog mocked me! >S I was rambling at him and at the mention of 'pain', he wagged his tail! The scum! Ok, I've been laughing hysterically for the last... uh... bah! Who knows! Me walking round the house, hand attempting to hold my back in one piece, and all that can be heard is: "Ah! Hee hee hee! Ah! Hee hee hee hee hee! Ow! Ha ha ha ha ha! AAAAHHHHH!!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!" ::cough:: Then my parents came home and start getting suspicious cos I'm enjoying myself. They don't seem to like my hysteric giggling! :S
Why am I here? Why am I not watching more Excel Saga? Cos I feel like it! Plus, I didn't mention the bird I saw! Hee hee! Oh, you can tell this topic is going to be riviting! But it was amusing me for the better part of quarter of an hour! I've never seen such a round bird! I swear it swallowed a golf ball! No kidding! It was hilarious! >D
Boy, I'm easily amused today! I'm sure I was going to rant about something else, but looks like I used it all up earlier! ::pout:: ... hee hee hee OWWIE!!! ha ha ha ha ha! AH! hee hee! Ah Jesus! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! ... well, this could go on for a while! ;) Mata ne! Heh heh heh ARGH ha ha SHEEESSHHHH hee hee hee hee hee

Something's been dripping from the loft, and it most certainly ain't water. As far as I know, it isn't blood. But the last time I went up there was when there were dead birds in the water tank, so who knows what could be up there. Nothing stinks yet, so I'm sure it's nothing important. ;)
My back hurts! :( It's done this before. Last time I spent several days hobbling around like an old man. Oh just great! :S Didn't notice until after lunch and heading up the stairs to my class. And it's just been getting worse since then. I blame the cold! The cold ain't been helping my headaches either. I was in agony by the time I had cycled home. WAAAHHHH!!! No fair! :'(
College was no different from usual. I barely listened, and I doodled randomly. Was doodling in Chemistry too, which I don't usually do, unless I'm properly inspired. ;) Chemistry was spent drawing horses. After the girl next to me talking about her horses all the time, I had to do something. ;) Then in physics, I drew another pic of my version of the wolf-boy. >D What's his name? Jirou! From Three Wolves Mountain! Can't wait for more of that! :D Not quite as successful as the first one I did, but distracting enough. Also drew a pic of a random 'instant'-sized bish and me behind with boiling water ready to make him man-sized! >D Ramen Ikaga is one very good manga! That's that one I was rambling about last time I was here. The one I freaked out while reading cos the bish was too much for me to cope! >D Come on! Little chibi men (so very very adorable) that you pour hot water on and in 3 minutes, you have one very life-sized man! Nyah! >D ::cough:: Eh, back to the doodles of the day. The physics got remotely more interesting when the lecturer started going on about forces. Gravity = planets = space = me happy. Ended up doing random doodles of black holes (sound exciting, don't they? ;) ) and a little UFO about to be sucked into it (complete with alien :) ). Then I doodled a guy about to be smooshed into a pancake and me pressing the button going on about 'science'. ;) The guy was supposed to be Fusage-kun (my 'personal' blond elf ::cough:: ), but with his head already out of shape, it didn't quite work. ;) And the big doodle that I'm really proud of was inspired by Tom & Jerry. Of course, it's not actually them. When could I ever draw anyone elses characters? But still cat and mouse pic. I'm quite proud of it. If only the equations weren't getting in the way. ;)
Well, that was my day. Thrilling, eh? But I didn't blog yesterday cos I wasn't here til late, then I got distracted. ;) Went to Glasgow with Saku. I spent money! A lot of money! I feel all strange... stingy 'me' must not have got on the bus with me so I just bought and bought and bought. But good good stuff! :D Forbidden Planet rules! So much new stuff! I nearly freaked out in store cos I couldn't decide. But Saku would have killed me for embarressing her. ;) I finally decided on 3 mangas and 1 DVD. 1st Excel Saga DVD! I might actually understand what it's all about! :) Oh wait, this is Excel Saga. Nah, probably not! ;) Also got more of Real Bout High School and Ragnarok, both mangas I've already got some of and me likie. And the final thing I bought is cos I just couldn't resist: 1st Full Metal Panic manga. Yay! Cool anime! Must be good manga! :D
And that wasn't all. I went to the cinema and I saw (finally) Pirates of the Caribbean! Yay! Took me long enough to get around to seeing it. Me likie much! Amusing! Lots of action! Really cool music (which I've downloaded now. Never do take long when it comes to getting stuff like that of the net)! Neat effects, which really surprised me! I wasn't expecting such clean cut stuff. Wanna know how they did all that with the fights going in and out of moonlight. They were mocking me, how often they did that. Just showing off really. "Look what we can do! Bet you don't know how we managed to pull this off, do you?" Grrrr!!! Infuriating! Heh. But movie good! And I'm expecting a sequel! As Saku was ranting about: they left too much unknown. It'll most likely suck if they do, but I don't care. Me want more! It's been ages since I've seen a decent new action movie! Last one was probably Lord of the Rings or Matrix. In fact, those are the only movies I'm all that interested in these days. ::sweatdrop:: Can't help it if I find most main-stream american movies too predictable.
I guess that's everything for today. I think I'll relax for the evening, enjoy some music and read... no no no no no! I'll watch Excel Saga! Nearly forgot about it for a minute! ;) Well, that's me set for the night. Ja!
