I hate my Geog project, which I rushed to finish on Thursday, and which deadline was pushed back to Monday. But, as conventional wisdom goes, it's all for my own good, so here I am trying to fix it up.
Ponged most of netball carnival yesterday.. ('pong-ed' is the slang of a slang, where the original word was 'pong-tang'.) First I skipped to school to open the band room for my juniors, because I wasn't sure that they knew we left ti open for them, and to make sure that everything ran smoothly. Then I left for the cosplay. I suppose my classmates think that I am a homicidal hermit crab now, as I told Jo-chan. Eheh. The scary thing is that they might even be right.
Cosplay was fun- now I really am interested in picking up Candidate for the Goddess, by Yukiru Sugisaki, but also scary. I can't imagine parading on stage in front of such a big crowd, some of whom obviously have no more than a passing aqquaintance with anime or manga. As mentioned, I /am/ a homicidal hermit crab. Everybody be scared. ^_^;;
I probably owe a couple of people emails, but my mind is saturated with satistics and details now, so I figure that if I replied now I would probably screw it up, like I did the previous cffml post, so I'm pushing them for later. Eheh.
You. What do you mean, 'scening smut'? It was only.. *looks at notebook* some stuff that would have seriously freaked out your male RKFC friend if he had actually read it. ^_^
My mom is demanding to know what I'm doing on the computer now.

Fine. Learning to trip the circuit when I /want/ to, is that better? XD
Kaori-chan's really, really far gone into her Gravi kick.. Meia's far gone into her DN Angel kick... whereas I have been thrown off both by Wish! Mwahahahaha..
Er, excuse me while I take a minute to swear at my beloved (but much cranky) modem.
Much better now. Thank you.
So tommorrow I have that netball carnival thing.. and I'm free after all, if you guys want to go for the AXN thing after all. I think there are other people forgoing netball carn for it as well. Or we could go to my house, or the City Hall anime place someone was talking about. Except that I'm broke, and I'm supposedly grounded for staying up late to do homework.(And the teacher ended up extending the deadline..)

Eheh.
I guess that if I labeled this entry, it would probably be, 'Big mess at posting. Keep away from mls and blogs.' My own blog, and I managed to post three times! That's fixed now, of course. Demo..!
I suppose I could blame that on my modem doing an impression of a yo-yo, but the modem won't care. Eck.
Stop laughing. You know who you are.
Physics lesson is interesting. I mean it. See, now I know how to trip the circuit for my home. Or the school, or anything. But then again, I wouldn't know, because I haven't tried yet.
Kai brought a stuffed toy sheep to school today, as a present for Yvette. I have a sudden urge to make a picture of Fuuma with sheep hair..

I think, that if I labeled my blog entries, this would probably be called "Booboos I make on MLs" And why? Cause I finally posted the Nakuru 'fic to the list, and I left one part of Meia's comments in! *buries face in hands* Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It completely spoilt the mood, and- oh, urrghhh. I'm not feeling too good on that.
Which is why, after I get off the net, I'm going to read Wish again. It's really good for lifting my mood, because it's so sweet and fluffy and cheery. It even has a happy ending. Well, sort of.
When I first read volumes 1 and 2, I was really impressed. I thought, 'Hey, forboding! Ominous hints of Bad Events about to happen!'(Don't ask, I was studying Romeo and Juliet when I read that) Of course, none of them did. There isn't even any enemy or thing to hate in the series.. the closest thing is Kouryuu.. (did I get his name right?) who is a bishounen, and was rather sweet and OOC at the end, I think, but then he's their character.
I /was/ expecting a happy ending, but I was also expecting some Bad Things to happen, being a CLAMP work. Like in X, where you expect every character to die. But it turned out more like CCS. I should have expected it. The ending was likeable, but I was disappointed.
The angsty bits I miss could be explored in fanfiction, I suppose, but so far I've seen a grand total of two fics. Rather sweet ones, too. And I thought that I'd sworn off angst for a while.. but over-sweetness will get me diabetes. Oh well.

Late at night. Geography project 90% finished. Parents and sister trying to sleep, and the computer has decided to stop wheezing. I silently curse at the Nakuru fic.

Wow, someone offered to host Breakfast *sparkles* Yay! She's got a very nice site, too- go visit!
I'm currently trying to finish my geography project which is due tommorrow (and I did do all of it myself, despite what the Ministry of Education thinks) and going through the DN Angel 'fic with a fine tooth comb. It's one of the few fics which I actually finished in a short time.. and it's all Meia's fault! Should be up on ff.net soon, but.. oh well.
Went to Kino today, and Asuka still wasn't out! I'm irritated- can't tell what's keeping it, unless maybe it's the queue for the X postcards that come with this issue. At least, I think it's this issue. I want one myself. And I should be able to get it, if my juniors pay me back for band funds x.X;; Do I still owe you money for the artbook, Meia?
Cleared out lots of my stuff today.. and discovered, to my horror, things like undone assignments all the way from last year! *sweatdrops* I got As for that subject anyway, so it didn't really matter, but still.. I always do badly for the subjects that I actually bother to do work for. Eheh. Which is depressing.
*abrupt change of mood*
This is something that has been irritating me for quite some time now. It's the author of the 'contreversial' novel, Wuya, or 'crows', alternately sucking up to Singaporeans (see her letter saying that Singaporean women have nothing to fear from Chinese women) and insulting them. Her book apparently deals with Chinese women and their affairs with Singaporean men- something which has been the cause of a number of divorces.
I have no problems with that. But I am not in the least impressed by her attempts to rile up the public. I quote from the papers "Singapore men are simple-minded and easy to deal with. On the other hand, Singapore women are unsophisticated and lack depth. Perhaps they all are not very well read". What the..?
I am not sophisticated. Neither do I make any claims about being sophisticated. But first of all, someone who is sophisticated would not be making such accusations about Singaporean society in the first place. And while there are bound to be some people who are 'unsophisticated and lack depth', there are alway also Singaporeans who are well, the epitome of charm and grace. Which she is /not/.
She is generalising. She is dissing Singaporean society. And she is doing it because she wants to provoke a reaction out of Singaporeans known for their placidity, and thus generate publicity for her book- my feelings about all of this. If she wants a reaction out of me, she's got it. I know people who couldn't care less, and people who feel passionately about the issue. But I will never buy her book, nor anything that will directly benefit her. Why? Because she is the real 'Chinese woman who comes to Singapore to cheat money out of rich Singaporeans'. Simple as that.

Meia, I don't quite think the thread degenerated, just that I got rather sick of reading one-liners after a while. On another thread, I think.

Some people, particularly those who have been authorised to practise medicine, should learn the meaning of the words, "short wait". Although short happens to be a rather vague term, which does not indicate exactly the amount of time in this case, I really pity anybody who calls a wait of an hour for a maybe ten-second 'second opinion' short.
Thank you, *insert name of clinic here*. Thank you so much for helping me use up all my worthless time, sitting here on your comfy plastic chairs, listening to the soothing murmurs of my fellow victims, staring patiently at a large board where the numbers aren't even in order. Thank you for /knowing/ that you have a problem with patient waiting time, but not solving it.
Thank you, for the wonderful bureaucratic system- the numbers that you have to draw that aren't even in order, so we can't estimate how much longer we have to wait. Thank you for the simple and user-friendly registration service. I had such an easy time figuring how to register and where to go, thank you.
Oh, and did I mention the wonderful time I had, until the maybe five minute consultation and ten second 'second opinion'?
If I had a gun, I would be shooting all the people at the clinic I went to, today. I spent three hours waiting there for a five minute-ten second appointment with the doctor. The appointment slip read, "9.45". I got to my appointment at 11.30.
Nope, I'm not in a very good mood today.

Meia, I love you, I really do. Those fic snippets really, really made my day. As usually some good fic does. *pauses* Now write more.
I was supposed to spend the whole of yesterday on band stuff. Then I snuck out, because Kai was sooo.. ahem. Well yes, Kai was very cute. Kai Kudou, not this Kai. I liked E'S very much, possibly because the aforementioned Kai was very, very cute. The manga is confusing at times, possibly because it was in old-type Taiwanese Chinese, and the Singapore Government, bless them, decided that they would have schools teach the new, easier Chinese. I'm not complaining. I would rather learn what I'm learning now than the old one, but.. Back to topic. E'S.
Kai could be described as an unholy cross between Kamui and Subaru.. in terms of looks, at least. He's really, really pretty. But in terms of personality, there are a lot of differences.. The angst is there (when is it ever not?) but he's not the type to mope about, and Yuiga-sensei can draw fighting scenes to best display, umm.. well, Kai. *niko* I am not a hentai fangirl. Well, not that much of one.
But I can say this: I love Yuiga-sensei's art. Almost as much as I love CLAMP-sensei-tachi's art. Because all of them rule.
On another note, I came up with an interesting question, which I might post to the CML if I ever get the guts (or when I find out that it hasn't been posted before). I was thinking of writing something resembling a Ruby Moon/Yue fic. *dodges stones and stinking socks thrown by Touya/Yuki, Touya/Yue, and Clow/Yue fans* No, serious. Then I was thinking that it wouldn't work. After all, technically, both Ruby Moon and Yue are sexless, right? And from what I gather from the manga Akizuki is also sexless. (Suppi should know, he's a fellow guardian) So if you go by that basis, Yuki should be sexless as well. *blinks* In other words, the Touya/Yuki pairing very technically cannot be considered yaoi (as is implied by the use of the word in the fandom) or shounen-ai.
What, then, can their relationship be called?
*thinks*
I don't want to know.
Of course, what Suppi says might not apply to Yuki/Yue, since Yuki/Yue seems different from Akizuki/Ruby Moon.*thinks harder*
That's enough for me, at least for now. *niko*

"Industrialization in Singapore"
I hate being the geography rep. I always get stuck with the assignments that no one wants.

Meia, I remember that old essay, yes. That was a very ecchi essay, no da? Almost as bad as the cup thing, but not quite. I just had a couple of ecchi ideas again, this time from my corny band batchmates who just have to come up with corny, baaad jokes and then point out to me the dirty part of it. That would probably go into the sequel to Breakfast at Macdonald's
Or I might decide to do something really evil again. I don't know what. Just..heh. Heh.
My hair is irritating me at the moment.
Me: *pats head*
Hair: boink!
