I'm not going to be long. At least I'm not going to try and be long... no wait... is that right? Oi oi... I was somewhat over-ambitious today and tackled evil steep hill on the way home in VERY hot weather. I haven't been able to think much since. Or move for that matter. ;) I'll think twice before I try that again. I need extra lungs for that! :S
Anyway, what I did today: I went to Saku's cos I'd left my bike there so I went to pick it up. And stuff happened. And I came home. And stuff happened. And I died. And stuff happened. Then I watched anime. And stuff happened... Deja vu! ::snaps fingers:: I remember now! ... but I can't find it! It was a great little story I included once in a note on FanFiction.net, but apparently it wasn't good enough for them so they deleted it. ::pout:: Maybe it could be... nope... but I've found something freaky!
It was a short story thing that I read in a library book once. Since that was the only good story in the entire thing, I scanned in pages of it and typed it up. Or most of it. I got scared and have since forgotten about it. It's the freakiest story I've ever read. The only story that has ever made me jump! It's called Eumenides and it's about babies with flippers! ::shudder:: It's so wrong! That's what real horror stories should be about! Ok, I have a weakness when it comes to those small demons commonly known as children, but still!
Ah mou! I'm rambling! Nothing happened today that was noteworthy that springs to mind... oh wait! The police came round today with photographs of possible suspects. There was one photo which was a possibility, but I can't say for sure if it was the guy. There has also been mentions on the news on a radio station asking for ppl to come forward if they saw anything. Oooh! Ain't that something? ::blank expression:: To be honest, I'm amused, but other than that, I don't particularly care. Ppl did try and get in contact with me from Victim Support, but like hell I need something like that! :P
Alright, I'm done. I've got a new episode of both GetBackers and Onegai Twins and they are both such good series, so I wanna watch both of them, so I'm outta here! Ja! :)

BIG NEWS!!! I was assaulted yesterday! I'm actually kinda amused. Nah nah nah, I'm seriously amused. He was so drunk, he was so hopeless! And he provided more proof that my head is probably made of solid steel! ;) Here's the story (I've gone over this a zillion times with the police so it's pretty much written itself in there already. I might as well have it somewhere ;) Plus, this time I can add in personal touches!):
I'm taking the dog for a walk, as usual. It's about 8 pm, and it's still broad daylight. It's been a lovely day, and I'm in a great mood. I read books! Ok, just a single short story every so often, but it's the most I've read in a year & a half, so I was very very pleased. It felt soooooo good! :D So I go into the woods, about to take the same walk I always take, the dog, being as awkward as usual, dragging behind. That probably made me even more of an appealing target. :S
He starts following me almost immediately in the woods. But I don't think twice about it. There's always ppl in there and why shouldn't they take that path? But after a couple hundred yards, he suddenly runs up behind me and tries to wrap this white jumper round my head. I squirm free, pretty easily I might add. He tries to say (through drunken slurredness) "Stay still". I do the "Yeah, right!" and prepare to leave him behind, only the bloody dog (that did absolutely nothing!) has got his lead wound round his legs, so I drop the handle of it, and grab the dog to let him loose.
Down comes a glass bottle on my head! SMASH! But of course this is my head. Unlike most normal ppl who would stumble about, yelling in pain and maybe even lose consciousness, I just brushed it off, and got mildly annoyed that there was liquid in it so I'd have to go for a shower again that day. I adore my own skeleton! ;)
I finish unhooking the dog, and leave him to make his own way home. I start heading back. The guy, after untangling himself from the lead, comes after me, brandishing the broken bottle, going "I'll stab you!". Or rather "Ahllshtabyah!" ;) ::laughs:: He didn't even point it towards me! He pointed it upwards. I reach up to keep it away from me, manage to actually get it off him and throw it into a bush, and continue home.
He keeps after me, trying again and again with this dumb jumper thing, failing miserably! I pass a couple with a dog, but they maybe don't realise what's going on. I was just concentrating on leaving the scum behind me, so I didn't pay much attention to them anyway. But just after they'd gone past, the guy runs up to me for the last time. I, by this point, have decided I'm fed up with him and punch him in the stomach. Even with this M.E. I must have gotten a decent enough hit in cos he bent over, leaving me to head out of the woods.
He did try to get me back by going on about stealing my dog, but I just thought "You can have him! He's useless!" I leave the woods, and notice the dog running happily out the other track. ::sweatdrop:: I get home, realise that I'm going to need to tell my mum cos I can't exactly hide the fact that I've got alcohol all down my hair. Then she gets all worked up and is ready to go right back in there and attack him. :S 'Thankfully' I pursuade her to just stick with phoning the police. Not that I actually wanted that either. Too much hassle, but I wasn't getting free of that one. Probably didn't help it that even although I wasn't hurt, afraid, or particularly angry (just mildly irritated), I was still crying. Bugged the hell outta me, but I just gave up trying to stop it after a while since I was getting no where. Sucks when I go bubbly and I don't know why. Happens much too often. :S
What I really wanna know is what that guy thought when he hit me with the bottle. He must have been expecting some big scene, instead I believe I simply glared at him. Thinking back on it, I realise that cos of my good mood, I didn't treat him like a potential rapist. I treated him like a particularly irritating fly. ::sweatdrop:: Ain't I the best in vital situations? ;)
There wasn't much in the way of conversation going on. He kept demanding that I'd 'stay still'. Naturally I did the opposite. He even tried to tell me to 'lie down' at one point, to which I replied "I don't think so". But what with his persistance, he did start to frustrate me after a while. I even muttered the 'F' word! Something unprecedented considering my vocabulary! ;) Saku thought that it's amazing that after all the years I've spent with her, I still haven't picked up her random swearding! ;) But when it came to actually expressing this frustration to the guy, the best that my mind gave me was "You don't give up, do you?". I was very tempted to add "You're not getting anywhere. You do realise that you aren't going to succeed. You suck!" Then laugh in his face, but somehow, I just couldn't be bothered. I was in a good mood! He was totally screwing it up! ;)
To be perfectly honest, I think the whole thing now is hilarious! :D What's really getting to me is the police. Spending hours and hours last night, going over everything, taking them back to the 'scene of the crime', or the 'locas' as they kept calling it, then going over everything again. The real horror of it was: I nearly lost my sunglasses! They are a vital accessory for me! The only accessory I ever need. ;) That was a good thing going back with the police. They are good at finding things! ;) But this morning, they wake me up early and bring me down to the station where I go over everything again and then they get my finger prints. I'm somewhat disturbed by that. My finger prints are on file! That can only be bad, considering I'm not the most stable of persons in the world! :S Then just this evening, I went in again and they took some of my hair and a blood sample. Since I showed them where the bottle went, they were able to recover that, and there was still one of my hairs on it (my hair gets everywhere, so it wasn't all that surprising ;) ). And with me grabbing the bottle too, they needed to make sure they could elliminate my finger prints from it. There may even be some more tomorrow. They were going to organise a photograph thing, but since the bump that has appeared on my head isn't actually noticable with my hair (and I'm not shaving it! :P ), that may be useless anyway. We've still to here about that.
Well, that seems to be everything about my 'exciting experience'. But I just think of it as valuable life experience. I'm sure it'll come in handy since I'm bound to write about similar stuff and the more accurate I can get it, the better. Saku is demanded I no longer go in the woods anymore, but... where else could I go? I can't bare to walk through the streets permanently, and I can't get any further away (and the dog would not be pleased about that idea either ;) ).
But today, I've adopted a new stick! This one doesn't need any craft knives or whatever to shape it right. Just about right slicing. You see, today me and Saku, and our mums, went to this... place... out in the country somewhere. In the middle of nowhere, so I'm allowed not to know where it was. :P It was supposed to be a barbecue, but there were no barbecues in the shops, so we just had a picnic instead. A lot simplier anyway, and I still got meat! ;) Found a stick to follow me, as I followed Saku in yet another one of her 'adventures'. We were trying to find some pool where she could swim, but we weren't exactly successful. I think we were actually going the wrong way anyway. ;) So we crossed rocks over the river, then we went back over to the original side further up, and again we crossed it later on. After that, she saw a steep slope and just had to climb it. I did pretty well though, considering I managed to get to the top! Battling with ground that moved, extremely slippy grass (or maybe it was cos my shoes were wet), and still trying to dodge the spikey plants. ;) Then heading downwards again, she remembers that she isn't all that comfortable with heights. ::sweatdrop:: So to get down she slides down a big scree slope thingy. I decide to take the slightly easier route that has those natural step things that develop on hills. We survived anyway, only screwing up the backs of our clothes and collecting a few scratches or two. ;) After that, we went wading, and I started hunting the fish (damn fast things!) and she threw stones at me. :S
It was a nice place. After that wonderful 'adventure' I was zonked (not used to hills that steep ;) ), so we just lay in the sun after that. Then she grumbles that I get a more of a tan and she doesn't. I have a panda face again! I actually kinda like it. Don't know why. Characteristicly... 'not right'... I guess. ;) Shame I can't get there more often. Real purty! ;)
I think I'm done. I am in a good mood and I wanna ramble, but I want sleep too, and I want some time for anime! Didn't have time today to start up Compy this morning, so it was off all day! Poor thing! That reminds me, 'bout time I started another download. Haven't managed to get any E's Otherwise for a while and new group are continuing from where AnimeHaven left off it seems, so time to start downloading that again, I think. ;) Ah, and another episode of Matantei Loki Ragnarok finished! Woohoo! Such a great series, that! And I have more Slayers Next! Speaking of which I am somewhat pissed off that I can't seem to download episodes 25 & 26 from Streamload. It's the last episodes too! It's so cruel! But I did manage to get 25 from Direct Connect after a while. Actually I got 2 versions (didn't mean to have them both finish. Just started them both to see which would finish first :S ). Well, I get to decide which one I prefer, I guess. ;) Still to try and get 26 yet, but hopefully that shouldn't be any harder. ::crosses fingers::
Told yah I was in a rambling mood! Not like anyone cares about all of that anyway, but I just wanna ramble. Is it any wonder I never actually ramble verbally with anyone. I say some of the most boring things. Least when I'm typing, I get to decide what's worthwhile and what's not. Not that I ever do that here. That would take too much concentration and it's a waste of time anyway, cos I rarely have anything worthwhile to say. What a surprise there, huh? I am The Ultimate Rambler after all! ;)
::checks the last blog entry she did:: Oh yeah, the thunderstorm! That was soooooo coooooooool! I got a great view. Kept zapping areas of the town it seemed. It was great! ;) But I was watching and thinking and I realised that thunderstorms make me nostalgic. Not that I actually remember anything in particular, I just get feelings that come with memories, but I never get the memories to explain them. ::sweatdrop:: Felt weird, whatever it was. :S
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. Got anime to watch afterall! ::checks harddrive space:: Crap! I'm doing it again! 425 MB left! :S Last time I kept putting off making CDs I ended up with just 115 MB. That wasn't good. Compy could have died at any moment. And no more quick fixes like deleting unneeded programs, or moving folders to my dad's server downstairs, cos I've done everything I can! Well, I guess I could move more over, but I just keep thinking of when the network goes down and I'm left high-and-dry without the things I need. I remember that used to happen and I was wanting to write things, only all my writing stuff is downstairs. As is my art stuff. And my non-japanese music. And my downloaded movies. I think I'd better keep everything else here. :S Which means: CDs need to be made immediately tomorrow! Must remember! I probably won't, but I try. :S
I'm still trying to leave here! Damn it! I want more Slayers! There were lots of Xellos in the last episodes I was watching! It was great! Lots of me! ;) And he really is me! Devious in a humourous way! ;) He's great!
::growls:: Ah, mou! Leavingleavingleavingleaving! See yah!

::grumble grumble kick kick growl growl punch punch:: I was supposed to go on a picnic or something today, but it seemed that it was just me and Cat that were actually bothered. Waiting hours, and the others never did come. Cat was reorganising her room, then regaled me with tales of canoeing and other such adventures in the Lake District. All sounded great fun. Well, people being evil always sounds great fun to me! ;)
::melts:: Ok, it's kinda warm... to say the least... Maybe I should make a mattress out of ice. Oh... that would be soooo nice... Sure would beat having my legs resting on a boiling hot Compy... ok, that wasn't the most intelligent thing to do. ;) Still, once I get to sleep, when it's really warm like this, I do tend to sleep better. And I do like hot weather, as long as I'm not required to do anything in it. ;) ::imagines collapsing on the grass in the garden in the baking hot sun and staying there for hours on end:: Sweet! :)
Actually, I don't have much to say. I'm in a weird mood. I think I'll go watch some anime to boost myself up a little, then see if this thunderstorm that's looming turns into something, cos I'll get the best view from my room (I oversee everything in this town! ::cackles evilly::). Well, ja for now!

Today was a relatively busy day. Went to Girvan to see about the volunteer work. I'll be going again next Tuesday to see exactly what I'll be doing, but it's something to do with sorting emails. Considering I rarely do anything with my own, that'll be 'interesting' to say the least. Although I did start looking through some old ones. Things are looking up! I'm doing something other than Grand Theft Auto! Haven't played it all day! Ok, I'm stuck at the moment. I demand to do all the missions, but I just can't do the last one for a particular gang. I once managed to kill all the guards in prison... but then the scum that are locked up in there killed me. I was helping them, damn it! ::grumble:: If it weren't for them, it would be a piece of cake... mmmm... cake... sugar... I nearly succumbed to temptation of sugar today, but there is no decent ice cream that I like. ::pout:: I guess it is for the best... stupid doctor checking extra things in my blood! ::grumble grumble::
Hmmm... what else did I do today? Oh yes, I went to the dentist. Took all of 10 minutes, if that. Put a coating on one of the back teeth. ::bites down repeatedly:: Feels so weird! But it'll supposedly wear down to normal eventually. Just have to endure it. But he did compliment me on my brushing. ;) Damn, I used to be so lazy, I rarely bothered. Shoved the toothbrush under the tap, and went off. Parents never knew the difference! Mwahaha! And I still have pearly white teeth! :P
Well that's the afternoon. Evening, I mostly tried to sort some emails. I talk too much. I have decided! Or rather, I type too much. I talk too little. ;) No no no, that's not right either. I do talk too much, just not when ppl can hear me! ;) Really should get out of the habit of talking to myselves, but it's amazing how 'interesting' the conversation can be. Ok, usually I end up hitting myself over the head at some sleazy comment that gets flung in, but that's only to be expected when discussion becomes a free-for-all... that probably doesn't count as sane, does it? ::shrugs:: Ah well! ;)
Only watched one anime today (mother dragged me out for another 'getting to know me' session so there went an hour of my life). Saint Beast. I've seen better. In fact, I've seen a lot better. However, I can't help but give this anime a chance. I mean, come on, bishounen! Still, I've only seen 2 episodes, so I shouldn't hold too much of a judgement on it yet. It hasn't put me off completely in the initial stages, and there is still potential for good plot and character development. I'll keep checking it out, but I won't recommend it yet. Unless you just want eye-candy. For eye-candy, it's got plenty! ;)
Anyway, I might as well be off. I've got another GetBackers episode and the ending to the last one I saw was such a cliff-hanger, I just need to watch more! Oh oh oh, but before I go, I'll fling this in:
Older Kitsune
What type of manga animal demon are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Sexy, me? Never! ::is wearing her short shorts again and when she was waiting for lifts to various places today, was leaning against lamp posts like a bloody prostitute!:: Well... I mean... That is to say that I... ah, forget it! I'm outta here! :P

Pan-chan's just a couple of houses up from me just now... I could go visit... but... but... but... she's babysitting! CHILDREN! EVIL!!! ... But then the option of staying at home, listening to myself rambling for the rest of the night isn't particularly appealing... but but but the children! ... oi oi... :S
Anyway, actual blogging! There wasn't anything written yesterday cos of my dad doing upgrading of one of the server computers. No net for most of the day! It was horrible! So I played Grand Theft Auto! And watched a ton of anime! ::sweatdrop:: Actually, that's not too much different than any normal day, except I wasn't getting more anime to replace what I watched. :S
But today I did do stuff. The weather has got better, so I was on my bike again. Still can't get nearly as far as I could before I went on holiday, but I got further than last time. But lying on the grass in the sun is so nice. :D Ok, I probably still have grass in my hair, but I can't be bothered with it. What annoyed me though is I put new batteries in my CD player, but the damn thing just stayed dead. Great! Yet more dud batteries! I swear practically the entire pack is dud! >( Still, I didn't stay so long that I actually missed music too much. Was distracted enough with a dog trying to lick my face, a spider walking across my sunglasses, a towering cylinder of midgies circling above me and the birds taunting each other. All so exciting, ne? ;)
Been left in the house all day. My parents did say they'd come home for dinner, but they're still not home yet. Having to feed myself is never a good thing. Ham and pineapple pizza never tasted so weird. For tomato sauce shouldn't look, or taste for that matter, like barbecue sauce, should it? Not that it didn't taste nice. It just tasted weird. ;) It was one of those 'healthier options' that my parents are always buying so I'll blame it on that!
Not much else to say. Not actually in the mood to ramble too much right now (that makes a change). Well, not entirely true... I want to ramble a story. If only I could concentrate! I so wanna write again! I mean write write. Proper writing! Not dumb rambles like this that come straight from the outer edges of my mind. I want to hear what the inner voices have to say!
::figits:: Damn, I can't do what I want. Need a distraction. Maybe I will brave the children, just to give me something to do... Well, that is if I can bare to even ring the doorbell... can I help it if anything small and human disturbs me?

How do I manage to get hooked on something I don't have? All it took was one picture, and I was trapped to eternally chase after the impossible: a shounen ai computer game with fantastic seiyuus and even better... 'graphics'... ::sweatdrop:: Least now I can get into Desperate Love scanlation site, so I requested what Apocripha manga they'd done: the first 10 chapters. Read it all as soon as I got it. Such good stuff. Sure, I still have problems actually concentrating and following the storyline, but I'm actually getting used to that by now. Afterall, least with manga, I can just look at the pictures. And for this manga, there are some really pretty pictures! ;) Platina! ::drool:: I pity the guy for having that name, but it's not his fault. He was simply born from his father's blue eye... that part I don't exactly get. What confuses me even more is Alex is his older brother (born from the red eye), but... no... can't be... Alex is just so... well... young... Oi oi... Actually I pity a number of guys for their names. There's Carrol and Beryl. Jade and Ruby aren't the best names for guys either. But it's all taken from stones, so it is kinda cool when you look at it that way... I guess... :S And another thing! While the character designs themselves are fantastic, the clothes... ::grimaces:: I seriously feel sorry for Sapphirus! Striped suit? He looks like someone that's escaped from prison! ::laughs:: DAMN I want more! Can't wait for Desperate Love to do more scanlations for it. I put the link to that on the side of this site, I think. At least the old one is there, but it directs you to the new place anyway. That's where I got that Color manga I was talking about earlier too. That was the only one that was direct linked, so I could get that easily, and, boy, am I glad I did! ;)
Eh heh, I'm getting carried away, aren't I? Well, how 'bout this. If you're really that interested, check out this site. It's the best Apocripha site I've found (in english anyway). Shame I can't read Japanese, cos there are so many sites for Apocripha in only Japanese. ::cries:: I'm just going to work on the speaking part of the language before I try to learn to read it. Least then I can guess what I'm supposed to be saying, so then it's not completely new stuff. I'll just work in romanji for now! ;)
Hmmm... what else have I done today? I played Grand Theft Auto again (screwed up the same mission and I still didn't learn that I should save it). Beyond that, nothing particularly worth mentioning... In fact, I don't think there was anything else anyway. Ah, but manga is a good waste of time. Particularly when it looks so good! >D
I think I'll leave and indulge myself with some more anime. Been downloading a ton of stuff, but I've yet to watch most of it. Mmm, that reminds me! I visit Streamload (it's getting close to the time my account refreshes and my download limit goes back to 1000MB so I'm downloading what I can just so nothing goes to waste), and I discover that I've been given a free extra 1000MB to download! Apparently there was some maintenance and the site was having difficulties, but I haven't been using it that much, so I didn't even notice. :S So instead of chasing after old episodes with BitTorrent where I'm not likely to get anything completed for weeks cos of lack of seeds, I'm downloading latest stuff like Last Exile and Ultra Maniac with it! Saves me a lot of time! Woohoo for the wonders of Streamload! ... didn't think I'd ever say that! ;) So I've got 4 episodes of Last Exile waiting for me. Ultra Maniac is still working. But I've also got 2 episodes of Divergence Eve (don't ask me about that one. I'm still trying to work it out), 2 episodes of Shadow Skill, 1 ep of GetBackers and an ep of Onegai Twins. ::sigh:: So much goodness! So I'm outta here before I waste any more time. The question is which should I pick for tonight? ;)

::chokes, curls up in a ball and cries:: LUCKY BASTARD! ::sweatdrop:: I just read a cool shounen ai manga: Color. I liked! But it's only 1 volume. ::pout:: No fair! Good stuff though. ::looks about for the cover of it:: Ah, here we go. Can buy it from here! ... ::looks at the price:: WHAT? 3 quid? Is that all? ::cries:: I want that! ...alright, I won't be able to read a single thing of it, and I've already downloaded the scanlation of it, but still! ... hmmm... what else is on this site? ::browses around:: There are some really weird names. 'Heavy Baby'? 'Virgin M'? :S ::suddenly notices why the things are so cheap:: Ah, used. That explains it! Oh, cds and videos too! Neat! Not going to buy anything, but it's still cool! ;) ::goes back to the yaoi mangas:: 'Private Prince'? 'Hand Made Lovers'? ::laughs:: No, I won't comment... although it is tempting... such great titles, but no!
Heh, just had to share that. No obvious plans for today. Suppose I should get outside at some point. But for now, I really should get some lunch. Stupid manga distracted me! ;) Itadakimasu! :D

I DID things today! Go me! :D Gave the dog a bath! Yay! Now I can attack him again! ;) He's so much fun when he's just had a bath. He moves! Lazy ass dog that he is. ;)
Also cycled round to Saku's. Gave her more anime CDs. ::works it out:: 13 to be exact! Oh what a great number. Actually I do like the number, but everybody seems to pick on it and say it's unlucky. Not it's fault. People just need something to blame so they pick a poor defenceless number. Scum! ... eh hem... I'm rambling...
Anyway, walked with Saku's idiot mutt (oh yeah, and Saku too ;) ) to Kat's. Not that we could stay long since we had to get back for dinner. But Kat seemed to be enjoying herself cleaning the front step and path and other... stuff... ;) As such an enjoyable task, we could not bare to hold her back for much longer than a quick chase of her rabbits, a swap of books and several whinings from the mutt. ;) ... am I talking funny, or is it just me. Probably being around Saku has no good on my mind, what with her constant singing or rambling about cheese... or pie... or cheese pie... then she ended up going on about other types of pie... I believe there was a Xi pie in there somewhere. But that just gives me the idea to cook, which is always dangerous, and the even better idea of selling on what I cook, which is just deadly. >D
Stayed for dinner at Saku's, but she's off to some lingerie party. ::sweatdrop:: But she's dreading it cos it's probably going to be with ppl with no sense of humour. ::sweatdrop returns:: Just as long as she doesn't get any... ideas... or... something... Afterall, this is Saku. She was complaining she was too horny last time she was on the phone last night. ::rolls eyes:: Oi oi... :S
Then this evening I actually did some art work stuff. Nothing spectacular that I could pin up anywhere. I was just mucking around with my favourite male 'me's image, actually making it look more like him. What annoyed me was... well you see... the thing is... about him... oi oi... here goes the story. Some... time... ago, I was browsing around some old links of mine and I re-found this yaoi scanlation site. And for the banner, there was this image of... people I don't know. But one particular caught my eye (as usual). For some reason, it stuck with me, and that night I had a dream where I was that guy. Well, not exactly the same. Slightly older, with not silver, but red/purple/brown hair. But pretty much the same in every other way. Even the same grey/silver outfit (those japanese style school uniforms the guys wear... I want one of those! They're so cool!). Anyway, he was supposed to be this police detective guy... well, he was me, but I'll stick with 'he' since he don't look anything like me in the slightest! Well, he had to save this kid from being put into a play against his will by the mafia. Don't ask. It's one of my dreams. That's the only explanation there is. And that's pretty normal! :P Anyway, because it's the only way he works, to save the kid, he joins the mafia. ::shrugs:: What other way is there? ;) I just have this great memory of him getting fitted up for his costume to go on stage. The director walks by (one of those business type woman), so he asks "Are you doing anything tonight?", but all he gets is the cold shoulder. ::sweatdrop:: So, he turns to the woman taking his measurements. Just as she comes within... 'range'... he grabs and kisses her. Of course this only gets him one hefty slap. But his excuse: "You've got to make your mark on the world. If you don't try, you won't do anything". That's stuck with me. I try to ignore why he said that, and apply it to more... constructive things. ;)
ANYWAY I did not need to type all that. All I needed to say was Ryusuke is based off of a guy I don't know. Makes it kind of difficult to find pictures. :S So I just worked on my own instincts on how to make it work. Didn't do too well, but I've finally remembered where else I stumbled across the same guy. At least I think it's the same guy. From something called Apocripha. Name rings a bell, but I don't know. Least I know I have things to work off of now. Might actually get a decent pic of him done. Cos he's so cool! ...but he's me... GAH! That just gets awkward! ::pout:: Sucks! :S
Anyway, I really have rambled quite enough. Probably didn't make too much sense most of the time. But I'm allowed not to. Did more exercise today than I have done for some time. Walking to Kat's and back took some doing for me!
::ends up momentarily distracted while she looks up Apocripha:: A manga. A computer game! Want want want want want! Seki Tomokazu does one of the voices for the game! ::squeak:: The second best seiyuu in the world EVER! ... from my point of view anyway! :P ... ::looks about more sites of it:: ... ::drool:: Oh yeah, that guy definitely looks 'bout right... ::paws at the screen:: WANT! Here, check out this site! It may be in japanese, and images may be actually fanart, but damn it, I just don't care. MURUH-UH-UH-OW!
That's it! I'm outta here! I need to stop pawing over something I don't have a chance of getting, unless that yaoi scanlation comes back to life since I can't get to it's new link. ::sniff:: I need a distraction, and I think Slayers will work. ;) That should have enough to amuse me for the time being...
::again with the Apocripha distractions:: Oh no! Oh dear! Oh my! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! >D Sweet! So many great seiyuu! Hoshi Souichirou! Yamaguchi Kappei! Plus some names that I know, but I don't know where from. I just know they must be good for me to recognise them! So much goodness! NEED!
Oi oi! That is it! ::closes other window:: I'm done! Slayers time! ::sigh:: I think I have enough locked into my mind to keep me going for the night. ::sweatdrop:: What? :P

::grimaces:: I loathe my own taste in music! Why? Why? Why must I listen to the most irritatingly catchy yet evilly hyper... uh... ::groans:: And unfortunately I'm not just talking japanese stuff here! I downloaded Surfin' USA! To me that's just as evil as Smile.dk's stuff! :S Why? WHY?
All the leaves are brown

And the sky is grey

I've been for a walk

::mumbles abuse to her own mind:: Least I'm in a more... 'acceptable' mood today. Watched more Slayers Next before I went to bed last night, and I decided "No point fixating on things I don't like. Let's just let it roll and enjoy ourselves!". Maybe not a healthy attitude, but it's always worked before! :P
But that Slayers episode was so great! You just can't stay mad when they're wearing such... ridiculous outfits! Go me! Go Xellos! It's all his/my fault! Woohoo! ... eh heh... gomen ne! ;)
What have I done today? Played Grand Theft Auto 2! Right from the beginning, completing every single mission from every single gang. I refuse to follow that flashing pink arrow that takes me on to the next level! Gonna do the lot of them. Cos I'm sure I can! ... ::tries to work out how many missions there are and gets confused:: It says there are 22 missions in all, but only 7 for each gang. Now, unless my brain is totally screwed, that doesn't work out. Oh, I'm intrigued! I'm gonna find that other mission! I've done at least 16 of them so far. I would have had another 2 if I had saved sooner. :S I'm a very sad and lonely person with nothing better to do. No no no, I'm a very sad and lonely person that gets amusement from living in a fake world. :S
But there is some news to mention! Got a call from the volunteer centre this morning (that was evil! but she wasn't going to be there for the afternoon so I guess it couldn't be helped :S ). On Monday, she's going to pick me up and take me to this place in Girvan where this person wants me to help with a webpage. This will be... 'interesting'. Well, if I don't wanna do it, they can forget it. If they're really desperate, then they can pay me. Then I'll reconsider! ;) Need to wait to see what it's going to like first before I make a decision of course. Never know. Might actually get me back into doing site stuff and I'll revive Anime Shelter and Nonsical Sense... although the chances of that are pretty slim! Right now, they aren't exactly too appealing. Can't help but look at them as too much work for someone who's getting nothing from it. :S
I think I'll leave early tonight. Watch a couple of anime eps, then see if I can get to sleep earlier. My mum doesn't let me sleep long. ::growl:: Awkward parent! >( Well, I'll be back again. Tomorrow probably! ;) Ja ne!
