Nayami really needs to write. Perhaps, tonight I will try to forgo chatting so that I can actually get something done. I don't even care what it is anymore. Psychosis or X-fiction, either will show that I have been making some progress. Too bad, I can't manage to chat and write at the same time. It just seems that for some strange reason, I have to completely be in the "zone" whenever I write, especially original stuff. Otherwise I get distracted and in jealousy, my characters' personalities abandon me, as well as all my inspirational thoughts.

Success! I managed to find the missing volumes of DNAngel translations I needed. Now I can giggle over the cutesy scene in the beginning of Volume 4. Besides, when it comes to wings, I much prefer the way DNAngel presents them without over-cluttering the page with feathers and other nonsense. It's a good thing too. The bouyas look mighty good in wings. ^_^ But am I curious why Daisuke needs With for his wings while Satoshi doesn't seem to need any extra help. Though a certain translator's theory about based on why Daisuke can change into Dark when around Risa had me giggling for quite some time when I re-checked Volume 4. Oooh, the joy of shota.
And another thing why does it seem like my blog has fallen off the face of the earth even since I moved it to my domain? I used to get lots of hits and now all my usual visitors no longer care about me. *sobs*
But to show I bear no ill will, I will do my teeny bit of social blogging anyway.
Sorashi layout! You go, Kira! I'm sorry you've been feeling kind of down lately. We all have our slumps.
And you seem to be the first person to change her links before I started whinning. *huggles* Did you ever get my message about the first chapter of X: First Time being incomplete? Though, I doubt I'll be able to archive until my new layout is finished.

Damn. I forgot the order of this blog. Now I have the most recent things I wanted to post at the bottom and the ones waay back at the top. *kicks self* So to take up this place, I present random quotes from the week.
"Soraflash!" -Argustar commenting on a certain scene in X17 where the view dips a bit on Sorata. ^_~
"Did the fuzz attack you again?" -My brother laughing at me when I thought a bug had landed on me and it was just some doghair.
"Shake off the stank." -My father telling me what to do with the load of laundry he claimed was clean but still smelled wretched.
"Look, it's your couple again." -My brother referring to the appearance of my Sei/Subaru stalkees at Otakon.
"Tell the truth. You like it because it's perverted and twisted." My reaction to my sister's unusual liking of Chobits since she hates all my anime.
"I have no interest in your hobby. I only want you."

Long-Belated Otakon Blurb List of what I got.
-the whole set of X badge pins - DNAngel 2-5 -YnM 1, 11 -CCS 8, 11,12 -Gohou Drug 1-2 -Chobits (Tokyopop Version) -X17 -Mini PencilBoards of YnM (Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, Tsuzuki/Hisoka back to back flower one, Muraki/Tsuzuki with the roses and strings {my old blog layout}) -Mini PencilBoards of FruBa (Shigure/Ayame/Hatori, Shigure/Yuki/Kyou and Tohru, and Kyou/Yuki and Tohru) -Hisoka and Tsuzuki PencilBoard -FruBa PencilBoard -Saiyuki Poster -Hellsing T-shirt -CCS DVD -X Manga Cards (Fuuma w/ leopard, Arashi from X14 cover, Sorata from X7 cover) -Kyou Card -Yuki Card -also brought my brother a supposed kendo stick I wanted to buy Hellsing DVD, but $30 for 3 episodes is beyond crazy! Fuck that shit!
Moments of Note
Taking my brother wasn't the horrible experience I had anticipated on. He was pretty decent. He even had fun guessing the cosplayers. He was a bit whiny at first, but once I got him his present, he was content. Speaking of cosplayers, we had so much fun with a few particular ones. The first was this Wolfwood who had actually constructed the gun-cross so that he could transform it for poses. Another was an awesome SailorSaturn who had even managed to create the special cross/flower crystal broach that she wears. I was behind her in line for a while and she always had to stop for poses.
And finally, my stalkees. The long red-haired Sei-chan and the more aggressive Subaru. Had to admit. For a bit there, I was unsure who the Seishirou was supposed to be because of her red hair. I only learned what she was when I heard her shouting out to some friend. After that, I was completely fascinated by the idea of a red-haired Seishirou, especially because she was very in character whenever she posed. ^^ But dumbass me had forgotten the camera so I couldn't snap a pic. So I contented myself with following for a minute or two, whenever I saw them. To make this even better, the pair soon met up with another set of creative cosplayers. A guy Fuuma dragging along a girl Kamui with a leash and collar. And the Kamui looked so disgruntled. It was cute. It was pretty cool when the four got together for poses for a while.
The music videos were fun. I particularly enjoyed the Angelic Layer one to the tune of "System of a Down" and the "Life's Gonna Suck" one that had lots of hilarious anime scenes. That one got the best applause aside from the Trigun "Wild Wild West." Gotta love Vash's crazy dance. The art room was also fun even though I didn't manage to get my Eriol/Li commission because everyone was so busy by the time I got there. But the Yuna pic "Don't Worry. I can fly" was so beautiful and the chibi section was too adorable.
Rating
This has to be one of my most fruitful cons. Except for DNAngel 1, I found everything I was looking for. I got to see the AMVs and the Dealer's Room wasn't as bad as usual. It seemed that Otakon 2002 actually had fair crowd control and reasonable sitting. Though the $35 entrance fee sure caught me by surprise. Ouch! Maybe I'll cosplay next time. *shrugs*

Dreamin I have read that many people have freaky dreams, but my dreams are always fucking nuts. They always involve death, apocalypses, and real-life fears. The other night featured some guy resembling Christian Bale chasing me around with an ax because I dropped him off a waterfall...without water. 0_o Then I ended up hiding in some huge rickety building swarming with chibi-nuclear terrorists. And no, they were not foreign. They were like some sort of American guerillas. They had spray cans full of biochemical agents. How do I know this? It said so on the cans. -_-;; Of course, they thought I was their leader and I had to organize their plan to invade the city. Luckily, I woke up after that when my niece jumped on me.
Why can't I have nice dreams? Inspiration dreams? Sorashi dreams? Hell, even blank dreams would be better than the crap I go through most nights. It's like if I try to think of happy thoughts, I get worse nightmares. Maybe I should try thinking of freaky stuff and I'll get the opposite result. I never even used to dream until some "genius" at college suggested a dream journal. I'm going to try writing huge WAFFy entries with big fluffy bunnies and horsies that ride siamese kittens on their backs to the land of milk and honey. What can go wrong with that? Probably the kitties or bunnies will turn into demons. ><

Finally my blog has recovered! *does Dance of Joy* Many things to blog about. So I suppose I'll just go backwards. Most reason thing of import to me is my DNAngel manga which I adore and would kill for a translation of the last chapter of the 5th book. I want Dark back!!! And of course, the love love love for Satoshi, as noted by the new blog layout. ^____^ He soo wants Daisuke and it's simply adorable. Plus, he reminds me of a combination of Ken (Digimon 02) and Eriol. I think that's what I adore about the manga. It combines two of my favorite shota pairings. Daisuke even resembles Dai-chan (Digimon 02). And chibi-huggles are always cute.
Where exactly am I going with this? Since I got my new domain, I've suddenly been inspired to create more sites. The first being, a cute little Satoshi shrine. I know there's one alread out there, but it doesn't have much of him. Besides, mine will be more shonen ai-centered and have more fan imput, hopefully. I also plan on working on a site devoted to my three favorite shota pairings (Daiken, Eriol/Li, and Suoh/Nokoru) called Chicken Soup for the Shotacon Soul. XD I cannot believe I came up with that title! All with have essays by me analyzing the pairings and such and will try to feature what I believe are the best fics/art on the net. I want more than just a short little fic about them; I want the writer to bring something new to the field and make it worth reading. Basically, this will probably either be something deep or just a really well-written story. But the Eriol/Li section will feature my favorite scans of them as well because I can never find any good Eriol/Li stuff and aside from Toya/Yuki, it's my fave CCS pairing. Li/Sakura is cute in the series but boring in fiction and I don't go much for shoujo ai fics unless they are EXTREMELY good.
My whole obsession with shota pretty much comes from my preference of shonen ai over hardcore yaoi. I like more story/romance/emotion and less sex in my fic reading. Not that I abhore lemons. No way! I really enjoy lemons that have strong build-up and plot. But the best thing about shota is that because it would be ultra-twisted and SICK to have the less than 13 yr-olds having sex (unless they are aged), the writer has to focus more on other things to make the story worth reading. Plus, it's usually pretty cute. Yes, I know I have problems. But as usual, it doesn't bother me. =P

Why does Blogger hate me so much? I have an entry here from 2 days ago that it won't even post. Of course, it could just be my crappy computer or my slow-ass connection. Still, I think two days is a bit much for this spur-of-the-moment rambling to just sit here. It hardly even makes sense anymore.

Shall I speak to others besides myself now? Yes, I shall. DIGIMON 02!!! Reading your blog has forced me to drag out my old Fox Kids recordings just so I could ogle Daiken some more. And I also had to find some of my lovable Digimon Kaiser eps for that oh-so kinky Kensuke stuff. But unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the second 02 movie. I'm so jealous that you have seen it. I hear not only does it have the usual Daiken hints, but that it even tosses in some Taito. *a Digiyaoi fan is revived.*
I just realized that your X:First Time fic is cut off somewhere in the first chapter. Is there any way I could get another version with the whole thing?
"SHADOWS OF THE MOON" HATH RETURNED!! Sooo happy. Love love love for this fic. I kept hoping that one day you would get back to it. Angsty Yue is the best and the overlapping with Yuki is brilliant. I'm so glad that you got out another chapter. I feel compelled to go back and re-read the whole fic over again as well as peruse through some of my old favorites on your page. Yes, Glass Eyes and Crucify My Love are among some of them. Nayami has twisted interests. ^_^;;
Kekkai-sex has to be one of the most bizarre, original, twisted, and coolest ideas ever. I can't understand how nobody else has ever thought of it before as warped as some writers are. As I said the other night, I especially loved your Y/S comments. Just love how you can be such a steadfast A/K fan and still enjoy the occassional yaoi pairing. Glad you enjoyed your con and met a new friend.
Don't know you but I adore those doujinshi you scanned. When Ukes Attack was funny enough to make me drop the Sprite I was drinking and the dress-up CCD was even cuter.
Sorry, we weren't able to chat tonight. Evil thunderstorm. Even worse, when you think of how I spent my time. 3 straight hours of Digimon 02.
Haaah! You got the Kyou-neko for your kitty personality. I need to take that test just to see what sort of meow-meow I'd be.

Looking forward to Otakon (even though I'm still lugging along my brother. ) Moral obligation. Going to be getting my new laptop soon. That will make me happy since it has both a DVD ROM/CD-RW. Plus, it has a decent amount of gigahertz so it should MOVE. Though, I will probably still need my older computer for things. I hope I will be able to keep it.
I should stop drawing images on my niece with my silver pen. I even went so far as to scribble on my youngest niece and even my little brother. He was pretty pissed about the Harry Potter star I drew on him when he was dozing as well as the adorable star he found on his palm. The babies loved their decorations and my mother for some reason didn't yell at me for it. She must have been in a more subdued mode.
Working on my new domain should have been easy since she is helping me with most of it. But between my horrendous procrastination, sister's hogging of MY computer, and my failure to accomplish anything lately, it's been slow in being created. But looking at the perdy layout always manages to cheer me up just a bit. *mmmm Matt*
Another thing, Witchblade needs more Puppy. Big speeches and riddle-help just don't compare to stalking Sara and giving her those odd looks.

Small social bloggins. Yes, I have no shame. Are you surprised? I enjoyed talking to you again last night. You always seem to have such a cheerful attitude on IM and I love that. Plus, I love the ideas you come up with. I would really love to see that "unlove" story as soon as you have some of it ready. I especially think it's amusing to hear how you believe nobody will understand it. Sometimes, those are my favorite type of stories.
I used to love Fushigi Yuugi too. It was the first anime I ever bought for myself. I rented the first tape from a nearby Blockbuster and fell in love with the characters, especially Tamahome, Hotohori, and Nuriko. Miaka, I always despised. And now I know why. She practically ruined the whole series. She destroyed every ounce of respect I had for Tamahome. Though, I still adorved Tasuki, Chichiri, Hotohori, Nuriko, and Amiboshi. Amiboshi was always my favorite. I think the major thing that pissed me off about the series was that Yuu Watase seemed to have some obsession with sex. There was way too much pointless sex references in it. The worst of all being the Soi thing. Using sex to heal or take away strength? Uh....yeah. >< As for Weiss, it's fun for the pretty boys and for Youji. I never much got into Schwartz or the rest. I disliked the lack of story and the plethora of GIRLS!! Boring ones at that. Except for Youji's girlfriend, they were all some of the lamest females I've seen in anime.
How is the Lennier site coming? Get a bit more done and I'll show it to some of my IM buddies. They happen to be B5 fans as well. Go figure. And most actually care about what happened to Lennier? So if you ever do find out how he died, be sure to tell me.
Sorashi discussion?*huggles* I have nothing else to say though because I would get too into this. Plus, I don't feel qualified to go after this on a blog scale. Me's shy. *glances at last post* Well, around most people. XD
Why does your blog hate me so? I love to read it but my computer hates to load it. Maybe my comp is just trying to keep me from reaching other blogs because I tend to get riled easily. Though, your blog never gives me anything but pleasant entertainment. And your omake sketches for ficcies are soo cute. I just wish my computer would let me visit your blog more than once a week at most. *sniffles*
Waaah! Why don't you ever get my mail? I so want to use your great fic! Oh yeah, your IM profile thingie is hilarious. But why Trask? He's a scaawy man. *shudders* *remembers being forced to watch DS nonstop* Ah well, I did like some chara. Now why can't I remember them? *grrrr*
There was someone else who has my blog linked who I haven't visited much. I checked out their blog on the other computer and even wrote down the addie. Unfortunately, I wrote it down on my brother's cheat code paper and God knows where that went. >< I wanted to re-visit the site too.
That reminds me, I have to add Naoko to my links as soon as I find Maduin's new blog address. I like to fix all my links at once.

Whoo! I have wall scrolls on my ceiling. I had to move both Miyu and Vash from my wall since they poked over the corner and kept annoying my mom. She has her fax machine in here now so I have to make it easier for her to manuever around here. Anyway, I'm deathly afraid that the wall scrolls are going to come undone and come crashing down on my head in the middle of one of my traumatic dreams. But it's kind of exciting to know that's a possibility. ^^ On another topics, though I may despise paintballing, I enjoy playing with the paintballs. Not only do they resemble both gum balls and the tapioca balls one finds in Bubble Tea, but they are kind of fun to burst in the trash can or pop with needles. I especially like the ones that shoot out bright green paint. Course, I never would have learned what fun they could be if I hadn't had a spaz attack of the puppy finding loose paintballs and munching on them. After that, me, my brother, sister, and niece went on a frantic search for the little buggers. And had loads of funs bursting them later. I had fun even after I somehow managed to cut myself on some grass and end up bleeding. -_-;; Only Nayami.
Now for some IM Fun. After about 3 in the morning, the gang and I tend to get a bit zany and odd things like this appear out of nowhere.
Note: In case anyone has plans to get overly offended by these ramblings, please realize that these roles are not meant against the authors themselves, really. They are mostly intended to relate to the influence of the author on the fandom and their occassional dominance. And yes, we are irreverent crazies. =P
Nayami00: so Mura's going for the throne now, I see Argustar: Does this make us the Robin Hood of X fandom? ^_^;;; Nayami00: LOL! Oooh, I wanna be Will Scarlet! XD EndofButterflies: heheehe Argustar: ::starts singing songs from "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" . . .. "We're men! (manly men!) We're men in tights! (*tight tights!*) We rob from the rich to give to the poor! (that's right!)" and so on:: Nayami00: And since Isa was the "King", that makes Mura "Prince John." Nayami00: *laughs* Thinking about this is killing me. EndofButterflies: *nods* EndofButterflies: I'm going to wake someone up by laughing so much XD Nayami00: Hmm, now who would be Maid Marion. I already know that Kira is the Sheriff of Nottingham. Nayami00: Or perhaps that is Shell's position. EndofButterflies: Shell should be the Sheriff EndofButterflies: Um...... Maid Marion would be.......... I'd say Kira Argustar: I'm not sure . . . . Of course, now I'm thinking of Kevin Costner and *that* song from the movie . . . . ^_^;;; Nayami00: Yes, she does tend to allow herself to stray to the "outlaw" side occassionally. Nayami00: *sings* I'd die for you! You know it's true. Everything I do.... EndofButterflies: O_o Argustar: Yes, I was pleased to read her comments in defense of Sorashi. Now if only she'd go back to doing well written fics, rather than "X 90210" with a plethora of pseudoOCs. -_-;; Nayami00: lol Nayami00: But we need a part for "dear" Kouri as well. ^_~ EndofButterflies: Hmm.. Argustar: Umm . . . . There was a fella in a Robin Hood book I read called "Sir Guy." He was an arrogant know-it-all jerk. ^_^;; Nayami00: What did he do? Argustar: He gave Robin Hood a hard time and tried to force Maid Marion into marriage. ^_^; Nayami00: hey, that's perfect! EndofButterflies: Ooh Argustar: ::hee!:: Yes, it does work rather well. ^_^ Nayami00: Little John and Friar Tuck? Nayami00: I know I'm having waaay too much fun with this. But once I get an idea, it won't leave until it's been finished thoroughly. ^_^;; Argustar: Hmm. I don't really know. I'm not "visible" enough to be a main character. I'll just be a sniper-archer hanging out in the bushes. ~_^ Nayami00: I think Hokuto should be Little John then. Keri can be Robin Hood. And Ammie can be Friar Tuck. Argustar: That'll work. ^__^ EndofButterflies: o.o Nayami00: Piiko can be that boy, Wolf, who hangs with the gang. I always liked him. He was spunky.
Now wasn't that pointless and entertaining? You bet! *ducks* *dons feathery hat and bolts away*
Nayami really needs more interesting things to do with her life. Well, there's always Otakon. And my pathetic collection of kiddie movies (watching Anastasia right now) and Chamber of Secrets. I always have such trouble reading that book. Something about it is just overly boring to me and I don't know why. I mean I think Tom Riddle is interesting as is the mystery with Hagrid. And Lockhart is hysterical with his ineptness. The 2nd book just doesn't hold my interest like the rest. I mean, I can read either Prisoner of Azkaban or Goblet of Fire in a few hours. I've been re-reading Chamber of Secrets for almost a week now. Oooh, and I still want to see the Scooby Doo movie just so I can get a preview of the new HP movie. Though if I order HP on DirectTv I could see a preview at my own house. Course, I already have the DVD so that's a huge waste of money when I could just spend some time looking for a free download. Speaking of HP, where's the rest of IP? If the next chapter is to be the last, I hope it's the best.
As for updates, the latest section of YWAM was great. And I can't decide whether I like Ethan or not. He's cool and ultra-protective of Ken. I think it's just my aversion to anything interferring with the Ken/Suoh pairing. I guess I'll just have to see what the writer does with the story before I make any definite decisions. But I love how Kaori isn't a total bitch since most writers make the ex-girlfriends that way. I hate that sort of stereotype and try to avoid it like the plague. (At least, I hope I do. Kat can be kind of bitchy on the occassion."

Damn me and my crappy htmling when it comes to Blogger!!!!! One day I will get it right. As I was saying.... I finally finished the first half of the updates for my Sorashi site, including all the new image additions. I'm still waiting for the permission to archive the 6 fics I found. Overall, I'm pleased with the new look for the Fanfic Archive section.
Also, I actually caught Witchblade tonight. I was disappointed that The Puppy wasn't in it very much. Though Irons did have some cool undead scenes, especially when he temporarily possessed Danny. Seeing Sara belt Danny was pretty funny. XD Defnitely the coolest scenes were the two that featured The Puppy. There was the cute one where he was subconsciously talking to Irons. And of course, the wonderful scene where he slit Sara's new lover's throat. ^____________^ The Puppy was soooo cool in that scene. After seeing Sara and that guy jump right into sex as soon as he showed up at her door, I was severely enraged by the progress of tonight's episode. But The Puppy managed to save it by slaughtering that guy. Jealous Puppy is the ultimate best! Too bad, he wore his hat through most of the episode.
As for writing, I'm working on both the 3rd chapter of the kitty-fic and the 40th chapter of my novel. The kitty-fic chapter will hopefully we done by tomorrow and the novel stuff should be ready by the end of the week. Yeesh, how many times have I claimed that? ^_~ Well, I do mean it this time. I need something to keep my mind off things. For the past few days, I have been devoting my hours to htmling. Yes, I know that is both amusing and pathetic. And damn do I need my domain, otherwise I doubt I'm gonna be able to get up more than two chapters of Psychosis. My space on my server will probably be under 7 MB by the time my Sorashi site update is finished. I'll need to get my checking card working before then. *knocks on wood*

It's been a long while since I've seen someone who can intelligently argue certain topics without seeming too biased. Even the most mature and rational of fans often let their own preferences taint their arguments. Hence, I can see a bitterness toward certain subjects. People want their way and they will make up their own excuses to achieve it. That always annoys me about the world of blogging. Then of course, there is the fact that people always argue the same damn thing and that nothing new is ever brought up. This is why I adore these posts. They always try to see topics with an open-mind and don't show any particular malice toward any one idea. Yes, sometimes they do have their obvious bias but in those cases, it is explained and intended. This bias never seems to interfer with other topics. Particularly, I love anyone who can prove to me that X-fans aren't complete morons anymore. I do know a few people who are reasonable and see things on a different plain. The last topics I encountered were the overexaggerated and constantly debated S/S situation. I love how Becky seems to view Seishirou in a sort of child's blank state mentality and doesn't try to turn him into some person who secretly cares for Subaru. She explains it in a way that could actually apply to his character, as he is presented in both TB and X. And Subaru is not seen as a completely innocent and redeemable character either, but as one who is facing a serious problem that really has no pleasant solution. His obsession is discussed fairly in her essay, without turning him into a submissive/angsty twit. As for her latest discussion about the Kamuis and their ability to absorb the feelings/wishes of those around them, I never saw Kamui that way. It makes for quite an interesting idea and *does* explain many things if it is true. I hope others take Becky's initiative and bring a bit of originality into the world of fan blogging. Otherwise the blog conversations turn out just like Boy Band songs....vapid and completely identical except for a few interchangeable words/phrases.
She is another fan who often brings a less discussed topic into the fan-world. From the social future of characters to the consequences of their actions on the world/society around them, especially in reference to the mass destruction and relation of it to certain past events in reality, this fan always puts a different spin on fan conversations. It makes things more interesting than just debating why I like this person, why this is going to happen, why these two should be together. Personally, I am a bit shallow and often find myself resorting to only these topics as means for blog/chat conversation. But it is truly a pleasure to find people who can take more out of it than just fluff. Though, the occassional fluff detour is always loads of fun. ^^
Alison and Keri's debates, they usually manage to carry more logic than most. They use both actual material from the works (not just fangirl wishes/whims) and also try to add a touch of real life to bring their points home. Keri's defense of her characters is always very intriguing to read, even though I don't wholly support some opinions (adultery? even in this case^^ ). She argues them decently and doesn't try to force an idea upon others so it works most of the time. And when Alison does actually "introduce" a topic, she usually takes great care to put as much thought into it as possible, as can be seen in some of her starter arguements before the actual debating ensues. Then things tend to get a tad more bitter, not snitty or haughty, but yes bitter.
I guess all in all, I just would enjoy to find more debates I can jump in without feeling like I'm discussing something completely shallow and pointless. Nobody wants a fictional story to occupy their entire lives/conversations. You do want to add some RL input into it. That's why certain analyses and rationalizations can take debates to much higher levels than just fangirl squabbles/ muses. Too bad, I can't pull off any of this stuff myself. =P Nayami is big on talk but suckers out when it comes to action.

Yikes! Last time I blogged, I forgot to post my initial reaction to Witchblade. After being forced into watching it, I must say that I was quite surprised. I had tuned in once before and caught a bit of the movie as well and was immediately turned off because I didn't think that it messed well with the comic, which I used to love to read whenever I visited Another Universe (may it rest in peace :_: ). But after watching a decent amount of episodes, I realize that it wasn't as bad as I thought. Sure, the show could do with some serious special effects improvement and some better cinematography (some of the really important scenes were too busy for one to determine what was going on). But I guess it's TNT so I really shouldn't expect any better. The actors are decent so I have to give them points for that. As for the characters, Sara has that certain cynical charm, which I always find so interesting. Irons is cool. I know he's going to end up being a real evil bastard, but I can still like him. He reminds me of Xanatos from Gargoyles with his personality. And Danny is unique since he's one of those ghost characters that appears to give random advice and to make the protagonist rationalize her actions. Plus, he can be a comedian when he wants and that's always fun.
Then of course, there's The Puppy. What can I say about him? Umm...he talks funny, his hair seems to have a mind of its own, his obsession with Sara is cute especially when it leads to violent displays of jealousy (beating up Sara's partner time and time again). Oh, and he's an absolute pyschopath. But he's still a cute widdle Puppy. Though Irons always petting him tends to freak me out on the occassion. And the way he always bows his head in submission around either Sara or Irons is soo sad. But as Celes has said, The Puppy can do more acting with his eyes than anything else. And he gets my favorite Witchblade quote so far. "You are a good servant but you know not your master." ^_^ So cool. The Puppy alone makes me want to see more. Perhaps, I will remember to watch it next time it comes on. From what I hear, The Puppy is on his own now and nuttier than ever.

Half-assed Social Blogging Time! Glad to see you're posting again. I was worried for a while there, especially since I never get online before night anymore and don't get the chance to chat.
Song of the Wind and Trees is worth seeking out. The only problem with it is that it ends too quick and leaves off at a strange part. But Gilbert's insanity almost makes up for it. I really had no opinion on Serge.
I'd totally join your Clex clique. Perhaps my other friend will also join. She's more devoted than I am. I just support it because obviously the guy who plays Lex does. ~_^
*looks at social bloggin* Hey, it sucks because I don't feel like jumping into the X debate today. I do that on chat and that's good enough for me. Besides, most of the debates just get repeated a gazillion times.

Haven't blogged for a while. I always forget to. Anyway, I finally got the first ep of Hunter x Hunter and would kill to find a faster way of downloading it than Kazaa which took me three days of leaving on my computer on. It got pissed off and starting crashing after that. I had to transfer a lot of my download files to disks. The plus of this is that it did force me to find all of my other anime download CDs. Yeah, Gravi is mine once more and I can finish Utena and FruBa. I saw the new Weiss pics. For some reason, Omi reminds me of a mix between Dilandau and Celena. Talk about bizarre! 0_o
And why am I re-reading TB? I guess this is what power-outages do to one. Well, my personal fan-translations to my brother are somewhat fun. And I might as well get him in the proper mindset since it seems that he's going to be my tag-along to Otakon. I can forsee great fun in this endeavor. -_- Hey, as long as I grab me some DNAngel and a Yami poster, I'm set.
Tried to write again the other day. Talk about disaster, especially that in-betweener piece between my novels. That was the worst. I found the original version last night and it was so much better. Where the hell did my writing skills go? Nayami needs more practice. I wrote some of the X-girlie fic but don't know if I shall post it yet. All it made me do was realize how much Fuuma reminds me of a bastardized Brian (QaF). And those images of Brian with the comic-version of himself, Rage, in the back room confirmed it. Their ideal fantasy is fucking themselves.
In final news, I am seriously going to slaughter one member of my family and attempt to beat some sense into the other.

On other news, Thankies for linking the awesome Sorashi pic and that cute little paragraph in their defense. It's been a while since I've seen a nice color shot of them, especially one that looks so relaxed. It is simply beautiful.

Nayami has a new puppy. She's basically a mutt, but she is soo sweet and full of tons of energy. The cutest thing is that she hasn't learned to bark yet. She does this neat little half-bark. It was funny. For most of the day, we thought she was mute. I might post a pic of her sometime. I am gonna try to write another chapter of my angel story, Triad, tonight. I am planning on the chapters being much smaller than Psychosis because this story is supposed to be a great deal shorter. Besides, most of the ideas for it came from this strange dream I had and a little bit of the Psychosis sequel.
Speaking of that one, I have promised myself that I will try to get a chapter of Psychosis at least started this week. I have been so lazy lately. I guess too much stress. I know if I can just get some of that done, I can punch out another quick scene for Clamp Kitty Campus. I also have a stupid parody fic to write. It's not supposed to be that good or have plot, but it is supposed to mock a certain debate. Just 'cause I'm evil like that.
I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. Maybe I can get a decent red shade for once.
