Oh, and I caught the Romeo and Juliet reference in the title, by the way. "If love be rough with you, be rough with love," right? That's by Mercutio, and I'm guessing that you put it there as a hint to Subaru on his relationship skills? In a scary way, Subaru does act rather like early Romeo- lots of moping and angsting around, generally not doing anything. I didn't like Romeo much. Subaru, however, is not as impulsive and bonehead-stupid as Romeo(thank CLAMP). Although I don't think that CLAMP is bringing in the R&J thing for X, since the bond between Subaru and Seishirou, whatever you choose to call it, can definitely /not/ be classified as Petrarchan love. Which is to say, admiring from a distance, moping and angsting, lost of sappy love poetry, etc. On the other hand, the bond between Kamui and Subaru (I keep my lips shut on how much I like this one, I'm just a Subaru fan.) in some respects could be classified as such. Until either of the two do something, that is.

I don't like Romeo and Juliet much. But it somehow seems to drag itself into so many contexts! (And it's all your fault.

"your love is better than ice cream, better than anything I've ever tried "

A search for that turned up smut, book reviews, a blog called 'pink ice-cream', and my blog, apparently. I wonder where that line's from. And how that person searched through all of the results to actually get to this page. Hey, it even turned up Meia's blog before it did mine!

Alexandra(If you're reading this): I bow to your holy reverence for the sacred articles that are the closest anyone can get to two-dimensional characters. But that description was scary.

Kaori: Long absence, yes. But you blogged! And it was a long entry! Btw, I don't get scared by Mononoke-hime stuff. It's a gory movie, yes, but why in heck were you thinking I'd get scared by a glow-in-the-dark pencil? *sulks*

Meia: Bad girl, skipping meals again. (I have this nigging guilty feeling that it's my fault, since I always feel bad eating at your house and so refuse to..) But I love the new layout. Just wait until Chinese today, then I can whack you for the philophobia thing..

There's something surreal about sitting in a half-dark classroom with your classmates sitting around you talking about bubble tea, of all things...

I played weiqi/Go today. And I missed getting trounced in a friendly match by this smart girl who learnt Go because of Hikaru no Go, thanks to the bell. Otherwise, I won three out of my four matches, despite not having touched the weiqi board since two years ago, so I'm reasonably happy. Now if only my modem at home would /work/!

I also got Hanakimi 7-8 today. Hanakimi has to have the cutest straight pairing I've ever come across. It's cute, funny, and it has the worshippably hot Umeda-sensei. If I had a school doctor like that... One of the pictures in book 8 scared me, though. Because it had Sano and Nakatsu together with arms in wierd places, and well.. suffice it to say that while Sano is both cool and hot, Nakatsu reminds me of Relena.

"Mizuki~i! I broke up with my girlfriend. Because I really really like you!"

Oh well.

12:19 p.m.

The person who hit this site searching for "Meia Singapore", I am very scared. Meia's very scared too, thank you. I mean, no thank you. Or something. I think.

It's kind of hard to think when you're just sitting here and the person you're blogging about is nearby giving you periodic.. nudges. And insulting you about hair.

Short blog post, yes, but there's really nothing I have to say. (Other than gushing about Umeda-sensei and Sano-ku~n, who happens to be the first non-gay guy that I've obsessed about in a long time. Strange thing is, I even met someone who looks like him in real life, once.)

I think I'll go see whether the assembly people are out yet..

10:35 a.m.

Oops, forgot to add.. Bell, I think Yukiru Sugisaki-sensei is a she, regardless of how she draws herself in the author's notes. According to Kaori's sources, that is.

Livejournal appears to be down again. Cheeses. *reads mail* LC? I feel the love. =P I'll reply as soon as possible, okay?

Before I bow to my stomach and go eat, Alison-san is continuing Darkness again! After an interval of how long? Me happy. Now me go eat.

Tuesday, July 31, 2001

07:33 a.m.

Meia, that's because I find it better than calling you and having a nice conversation based on "hello" for about all of five minutes. Oh, and I would like to say that I would /never/ get an operation like that- I'm perfectly happy with my sexuality, thank you. =P

Bell, no one draws art like Sugisaki-sensei does. I'm still waiting for the D N Angel-only artbook to come out..

Tuesday, July 31, 2001

07:27 a.m.

Someone needs to come up with something better than "turkey" for my dad to swear at passing snail motorists. Imagine, my dad swears by turkey and cheese. And he angsts over computers.

There's something wrong in that, somewhere. I just don't know what.

Monday, July 30, 2001

09:28 a.m.

Rar. Meia, on the subject of the word, "yaoi", did I mention I used to laugh my head off silently everytime anyone in band complained about having a sore butt from sitting too long?

Monday, July 30, 2001

09:13 a.m.

I think I died during the weekend. Or something. The only thing I can say is that I'm stoned, there's a couple of flowers hanging upside down to dry from my door (because that's the only place with hooks), an entire bunch of stuff lying on my formerly clean table to make my mama cry, aand I'm stoned. Did I mention that? I was typing the url of my blog into the pitas login page, and I was typing my entire email addy into hotmail login page. I also have a stack of books I thought that I lost, lying on my school worktable.

In other words, I left band. I'm just going to stare at the computer and stone now...

K.i.l.l. What do you do when the company tells you that the internet will be switched on on a certain date, then when it isn't, you call tech support and get referred to marketing on the next day? No, I wasn't very happy last night. Partly because I had to stay up late to finish a lit essay which I discover, isn't even due today since the literature teacher and english teacher switched blocks and didn't bother informing us when it would be switched back.

Social blogging and further replies postponed to when classmates aren't grappling with me for the computer.

Wednesday, July 25, 2001

01:54 p.m.

Just a quick entry, since I have to run off for sectionals in a short while- I have read Hanakimi 1 and 2, and it's so funny! I do, however, want to shoot those pants. Or maybe just crucify them and string them up on a high place where no one can see them anymore. In a high place, so that hopefully they'll be bleached by the sun.

Another thing I want to do is to slash Mizuki's brother Shizuki with the doctor. I've already thought of a few scenarios where they can have.. fun. It's all born out of a fervent desire to torture Shizuki. I like him, and he's just so cute.. homophobia nonwithstanding. Fanfic writers can get around anything, right? *nikoniko*

Niichan:Kisama..!
Umeda-sensei: *drapes himself around the niichan and /purrs/*

..Life is good.

My dad spent two nights angsting over the computer, trying to set up the new DSL modem- stayed up late, switched the computers and fiddled with the hard drive endlessly- looked like hell and spoke like hell the days after. And then he finally called Singnet's tech support. (Which goes to show that he should have left the installation of the modem to me, since that would have been the first thing I would have done XD) So the DSL goes up on the 26th, and since the school computers are horribly slow and my mailbox is probably all clogged up now, mail replies will have to wait for a little longer.. gomen!

Monday, July 23, 2001

12:53 p.m.

Hmm.. Right now I'm skipping the career guidance talk with Meia, who's still feeling very sleepy, and perhaps wondering whether or not I'm saying anything bad about her. Er, actually she's looking at the screen as I type, and..oh well.

I tend not to watch television nowadays, mostly due to lack of time, and the near-total lack of anything decent to watch.. Cardcaptors and the RK dub Do Not figure on my list of things to watch. But I did catch some of the Chinese drama serial currently showing on the local channel, while eating dinner, and it just.. cracked me up. Because it happened to be Saiyuki, and Xi You Ji and Saiyuki don't even come close.

*Hakkai tries to force Gojyo to act more like a demon*

Sanzou: *calmly* Do not force Gojyo to do such things, Hakkai. He's too straight and nice a person to want to do such things.

Meia: *howl*

It entertained me for the entire weekend. No, they don't put Gojyo, or Hakkai in the subtitles, but when you put in Minekura-sensei's context...

I got a flame for the S/K lemon today, which was all of one line. Now, I'm pretty aware of what happened in the fic, and maybe it does suck. But you tell me /why/. Grr..

Meia: Lots and lots of stupid people inhabit the CCS section of ff.n. X.x No, I'm serious. Don't mean to be critical, and lots and lots of nice 'fics and good authors reside there, but... X.x X.x X.x

Well, some of the reviews were cute. I mean, someone thought that K and S referred to Kaho and Syaoran, which was a cute idea, since the whole idea of labeling it S/K was to make people draw the wrong conclusions, but I think it's just /wrong/. Even more wrong than EriolxFujitaka. Or maybe only just as bad.

Meia: Eriol/Fujitaka is much, much scarier on many deep and fundamental levels. I don't believe you even came up with it. o.ox For ONE thing! Fujitaka's /physically/ at least four or five times older than Eriol. ...For TWO! You're letting Eriol be on top! For THREE! They are the SAME PERSON! It's like masturbation, just worse. o.o;;x

Meia: Oh. And Fujitaka's straight. I expect at least /one/ of them would have to be.

And there you have it.

07:01 p.m.

I am a very dead person right now- I told my mother that I would be back in half and hour's time. Which was over two minutes ago, and I still have to walk back home. But I haven't even finished checking all the blogs I normally read yet, to say nothing of the mail. So mail replies will probably have to wait. Gomen..

Meia, yes, you did infect me. Bad girl- Laoshi is still sore that you did, since now the only people who listen to him instead of doing their own stuff in Chinese class number er.. four? Five?*massive sweatdrop*

And I have chibi SAKANO! Thank you so much, Kaori!

But now, I leave the cybercafe before my mother decides to throw a fit at home.

Friday, July 20, 2001

06:36 p.m.

What are you complaining about? The takoyaki short was hilarious!

Murasaki, love the new layout! But it scares me, a little. How on earth did you manage a layout that makes TB Subaru look so.. angry? Neither angsty or sweet?

I think I have a bird after me. It's a large, black, crow, and it kept hopping after me when I made my way to the building next to this one, where the manga stores are, and when I came here it followed me too. Of course, it might not have been after me. But I don't like black crows. Only white ones. If anyone catches the reference.

Thursday, July 19, 2001

11:23 a.m.

They cut off the internet for the old plan yesterday. And my dad has been trying to install the new modem for some days now, so no computer for me. He doesn't even let me near the computer now. *pouts* Fortunately, the English teacher abandoned us, so I get to check my email. Now, if only the connection would be quicker..

Hotmail changed their layout. I hate them, but that's because it's difficult adjusting to something new, and I was /fond/ of the old one.

Met up with Kaori and Meia just now- we have new ideas for the Touma/Sakano doujinshi, but since Kaori doesn't want to reveal too much, here's one line, from Shuuichi to Yuki-kun.

"Ne, Yuki, I want one."

A cookie to anyone who can guess in what context that is to be used. XD. A big, horrendous (but delicious) monster cookie.

Me? *blinks innocently* An evil witch?

Wednesday, July 18, 2001

08:03 a.m.

Eheh. So I /did/ do the K/S lemon after all. It's not even NC-17, and it's not an X fic. Whoo. But I think a lot of people might have gotten the wrong idea from it all.. I didn't mean it to be sick, and the entire thing was posted to the Cffml on a random whim, egged on by this person. It's actually an offshoot to the reflective "everybody-dies" piece, in turn an offshoot of Meia's fic.. oh well.

Yet a new day, yet more reasons to moan and groan about. Alalalah. Sometimes life is just too boring and isn't worth living- nothing like doing something stupid to sour your life. Why live, anyway? I imperfectly quote Anne Rice, "To live, to love, to learn." But what's the use of loving when no one loves back, of learning when one can't contain it all?

Me, being philosophical, and slightly ashamed after two gruelling maths tests in a row.

Tuesday, July 17, 2001

09:43 a.m.

That question? I think I did it. Need help? It might be wrong though, since the teacher went through it in class and I forgot to bring the paper I did it on.

My class just did filming for the graduation VCD or something- actually, they're still filming. And they filmed me and Viv in a sort of tussle for the computer and I didn't even know! *wails* Oh well. At the very least it was authentic. And they didn't film the really weird stuff, like my class ribbing the teacher about talking to the whiteboard.

I received Kaguya Hime from Jane yesterday.. I believe I still owe her money for it, but right now I'm broke. It's okay, with good art.. and I love the way the mangaka does lips. So often in manga published by that same company lips are like ugly slashes in a face. And the story is interesting, if highly improbable and dark. Ultra dark, with straight-out Yuri and tons and tons of Yaoi hints. Most of the characters are pretty enough, but their personalities are just scary. More on it later, I guess, when I go for my second round of tussling with Taiwanese Chinese, instead of just looking at the pretty pictures.

11:12 a.m.

Kaori-chan just surprised me in my classroom and she said she drew some more Touma! Ahhhh, I wanna seee....

Monday, July 16, 2001

10:47 a.m.

Ack! Sorry to the two people whom I left hanging at AIM.. my Dad's pretty strict about my use of the computer, and he doesn't like it when I stay up late, especially if I have something on early in the morning the next day.

The entire weekend, I spent on preparations for a public performance- it was at the Botanical Gardens, one of the prettiest places in Singapore for all that it is man-made. The only points worth mentioning about that was that the stage was above the lake, and everytime I had to stand up for something, I was scared that either I would fall into the thing with my instrument, or that the ridiculously short skirt would ride up and everybody would be treated to a view of those short shorts that my school forces us to wear for physical education.

Whoo. That's a long sentence.

So I come back and I stare at the 100+ messages in my mailbox and I finally give in to the temptation to scream at the people who insist on beating dead.. whatever. Arghh. Not naming any names, but..

Meia, maths and science sounds good. But you really want to know what's so scary about phallic french fries? (I've been eating practically all my meals at fast food restaurants for the past few days, and thus have been confronted with fries at least twice a day.) Some of them are bent. And in retrospect, I suppose I should see the school counsellor about my unholy fixation, but she's a mean person, and a very conservative one, so she probably wouldn't understand.

Friday, July 13, 2001

09:55 p.m.

Whoo. It's a friday and I feel.. funny. I should be studying, I know, but for once I'm going to shut up and not whine about my pathetic self-discipline. *shuts out the sounds of people cheering*

The wonderful people on the CML pointed out the fact that in anime and manga, a character's eye color is supposed to be representative of his, her, or its aura. Ahem. *coughs* I suppose this would be the time to say something about purple for eye color? Or green and, shall we say, frigid?

My modem is playing hide and seek with me today. But I can be patient, and I can wait. Just five days more till this plan expires and I can get the new modem up..

Friday, July 13, 2001

07:53 a.m.

I have a hit from someone searching for x relena and heero.com. That's funny, because I don't think that I've even mentioned Gundam Wing on my blog before. *pauses*

Well, I guess now I have.

I noticed my blog sounds really bimbotic on search engines. I wonder at people who come here based on that description- I certainly wouldn't.

Thursday, July 12, 2001

10:46 a.m.

Meia the Eriol/Nakuru thing was a joke. A /joke/. Although I would be pretty interested in a fic that managed to pull it off credibly.

I've been listening to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, and the Chicken Bone song scares me. Because all I can make out of the lyrics are "Asian sauce", and "chicky bone". It's a nice song, but I can't help but wonder what's going on. Eheh.

10:04 p.m.

Twice in one month already I've met two people who don't like CLAMP art. They didn't say anything about their storylines (an essay in the works about X later), but they mentioned that they didn't like the art!

And one of them was a friend looking into manga for eye-candy..

Wednesday, July 11, 2001

08:37 p.m.

Well, I don't really know what to blog today. So I'll start with what happened on the bus. I hate taking public transport at rush hours, especially so because to reach home from school I need to pass through the Orchard Road CBD area. =( Which means jostling through huge crowds of shoppers. So I got kicked (deliberately, I believe, since I was before that person /and/ moving at reasonable speed) in the heel by someone wearing platforms. I was rather irritated for a while until I dropped my physics stuff and someone who looked a lot like that person helped me pick my stuff up.

I felt much better then. Funny, how just little things can ruin your mood but little things can also help you feel better?

Pink and purple interiors, you say? ^_^ The gay bus! XD Dear me, I need to go for psychiatric treatment, I'm linking so many things to.. ^_^.

Bell, such comic store workers are narrow-minded, pig-headed male chauvinists. Financially unstable ones at that, if they refuse to serve female customers. Wonder how he would react to a link to say, Gravitation?

Shiori-san, the ToumaxSakano doujinshi is really nothing much right now. I'm just doing the storyline, which presently consists only of a beginning and an end. A very vague end. I'm not sure whose house they end up at in at the end, but it involves Sakano getting a makeover from Touma, mostly.

Monday, July 9, 2001

09:15 p.m.

Went out today, with Meia and Kaori. We /were/ supposed to do some very premature shopping for the end-of-year school function, but I think it turned out more of a gab fest. Not that we don't already talk enough at school, but still.. it was fun. Except that we didn't really look at what we were supposed to look at, only tried on one dress each, and my legs hurt now. And, we didn't get to see the wonderful shop Meia talked about!!

It was productive though, in that we /did/ get inspiration for the Touma/Sakano doujinshi. Mostly through pointing at random bits of clothing and going, "Sakano-saaa~an.." We are girls. XD We shop at stores full of girly clothes. Sakano-san needs a makeover. *nikoniko*

Right now I'm listening to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack 3 on my Dad's wireless headphones. I like wireless tech. But this set appears to have something wrong with it, so every few minutes I have to jump up and thump the set. x.X;; I don't like listening to cds on the computer, because I always forget to take them out.

I like this new layout a lot.

Sunday, July 8, 2001

09:46 p.m.

Talking to random band people who got your contact from other random people is fun. But still, how do you talk to a boy about FF9 if you don't talk about yaoi? *brick*

Sunday, July 8, 2001

08:52 p.m.

My dad bought a breadmaker. Ostensibly, it's for my mom, but right now, he's the only one who's actually used it to bake bread. Wholemeal bread, and we dined on it today. *observation- I've seen people use 'dined' and 'breakfasted', but never 'lunched'.*

I vaguely remember that I had /something/ to blog about, but I can't remember it now. I think I'm going senile..

Saturday, July 7, 2001

08:53 p.m.

Just back from an entire day of Chinese listening comphrehension, band, and band elections. My arms hurt. I mean, try clapping in quavers at around crotchet=80 for even just a short while? And I have to do it again on Monday. Monday morning at seven. *pouts*

On the other hand, I'm wondering how I managed to get a hit from a KKK site. (no, I'm not putting the link up here.)

Friday, July 6, 2001

01:52 p.m.

Kaori, Ore da. Ore da.

*in a singsong voice* Someone likes Wi~ish! And yes, Kai, I do want fanfic. It doesn't have to be angst, just something more than sugar and cream! *smiles*

Blogging from school: typing and reading away furiously while people hover around the computer and you, like vultures waiting to pounce.. I don't even have time to check more than T3 minna-chan-tachi's blogs. Which reminds me, Ling-neesan doesn't have one.

Friday, July 6, 2001

12:44 p.m.

I did pick up a copy of Hana Yori Dango, to see why people liked it so much. But I didn't find it very interesting.

Friday, July 6, 2001

12:36 p.m.

A classmate of mine asked about Wish today, since her interest in manga was piqued by Meteor Garden- which my class really, really, likes now. She also asked about the term yaoi, so I explained it to her. (Not the Yamete, oroishi itai yo explanation. XD) I told her that Yaoi was about 'love between males'. After she heard that, she put down the volume of Wish that she had been holding, and she looked at me strangely.

That classmate's a nice person, really, and a good friend, but it's experiences like that which make me so cautious about talking to fellow manga enthusiasts about yaoi, until I find out whether or not they support it. Oh well. At least she didn't condemn it straight away, just put it out that it wasn't for her.

Thursday, July 5, 2001

10:38 a.m.

Kaori, now you have a Touma timetable too? Wow. The script is in planning- I have a rough idea of what it's going to be like, and how it'll end (how things /always/ end *niko*) but I just don't know how, yet.

Wednesday, July 4, 2001

10:31 p.m.

Pitas. Modem. Whoever or whatever it is that is playing around with my posts. I hope you die a slow and painful death tied to an old hard chair somewhere, with cockcroaches crawling all over you and being forced to watch endless reruns of the crappiest series in the world. Did I mention being smeared all over with pigeon goo?

Wednesday, July 4, 2001

10:30 p.m.

Meia, ouch. Don't go to school tommorrow, if you're feeling that bad. You can always take the history test some other time. And get your parents to change the phone number, or something. Get lots of sleep and take care, okay?

Then IE crashed again, and my first entry was lost. *growls*

I have a maths test tommorrow. I had a maths test today. Chemistry test got itself postponed, as well as the due date of the Literature assignment, so I'm not /that/ far behind in my schoolwork. I think.

On the bright side, I dropped by the manga stall today and got myself YnM 10. Hisoka-chaaaa~an... and I'm starting to like the dark visored shikigami person, who is angsty, has Attitude, and doesn't seem half bad. I like Suzaku too- it was /so/ amusing to see her chasing abovementioned shikigami character around with a big freaking sword. I don't think she even managed to hit him once, but then I'd have to go back and read it more carefully. (Taiwanese Chinese makes my head /hurt/.)

Bell, you're right about Eriol again! But maybe it isn't right to compare him with the typical shoujo villain, because he isn't really a villain. In the CLAMP works that I've read, there isn't anyone whom you can downright call the villain of the piece. Some characters that can be hated, definitely, but not really totally evil and totally wrong.

The X-ray idea kinda scares me. Since Yue changes to Yukito, and vice versa, shouldn't there be something internal that uh, facilitates the change? I guess maybe only Clow knows. Eheh. But really, Yue/Yuki aren't human in the first place, so it might be that all these speculations don't apply. On the subject of asexuality, I've noticed that in the CLAMP manga that I've read, the 'asexual' characters, or at least those with debatable sexualities (Wish, for example) can't really be considered human. Inclusive of Nataku, since its body is actually man-made.

I was reading the Herman story, when my little sister suddenly popped up to look over my shoulder at the computer screen. She asked if I was doing work. Since I'm supposed to be doing work, and I /do/ have a lit essay in notepad right now, I told her yes. She's sitting a few steps away from me now, playing her violin.

Tuesday, July 3, 2001

08:55 p.m.

My class is obsessed with Hana Yori Dango (sp?) right now, even the people who don't usually read manga. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold much interest for me. But while I'm on the subject of shoujo, anybody who could point me to a couple of wish fanfics would make me a very happy girl.

I know Wish is a fluffy sugar shoujo series with mostly, well, candy within its pages. But I still like it. And I still believe that it only needs a bit of angst to balance it out. Eheh. But I've only found two Wish fanfics on the net!!

Kaori, I didn't refuse to do the practical. I did the titration first, saw what the thing did to my friend's test-tube, and decided that it would be much easier to simply observe the reaction from someone else's reaction. Because I am a crab, and crabs don't like heat that much.=P

Monday, July 2, 2001

09:02 p.m.

Productive day today.. but unfortunately not a day for blogging. Practically nothing happened, except for my band friends and I scaring ourselves with the proximity of our prelims. I love wake up calls, doesn't everyone? *brick* Fine.

I'm reasonably happy, because I /did/ get work done today. As I should be doing, and nothing much went wrong. Sounds boring. *makes face*

My life is getting predictable. Save me.

Monday, July 2, 2001

03:37 p.m.

Blogging from school again, and after this I /will/ go and do that darn maths paper, but still..

NEW LAYOUT!! Arigato, Kaori!

Okay, study now. I'll blog again later when I get home.
