12:26 p.m.

My computer's screwing with my head again. I just knew it! It's refusing to load the newest entries, even though I know this page was uploaded a long time ago.

I am being a horrifically slacking slacker. Well, I did do maths and some of my Lord of the Flies notes this morning, so half an hour (and no more!) on the computer can't hurt, can it?

It seems that many people are having fun with MegaHal. I will download it sometime, just not now. I wonder how it would react if I fed it my LOTF notes?

Watched Gravi and the WeiB oav yesterday, after all. Gravi was.. Gravi. I wonder what sort of crack the producers were on? I was laughing as hard as I dared to with everybody else in the house asleep. But I still think that someone needs to hit Shuuichi and Yuki on the head /hard/ to stop them from thinking so much.

On the WeiB Oavs: What the hell..? Ken looks much better with his new.. costume, (he lost the Jacket, finally) while Aya just looks plain wierd. But one can see, feel and practically touch the Gay! They seem to favor Aya/Ken and Youji/Omi, even though there are hints to other pairings, too. See! The real! reason! why I buy WeiB stuff. Eheh.

And all the blood that went missing in the anime series seems to have miraculously turned up in this one.

Bell, you gave the address of your blog to your school friends? I don't think I would ever do that give it to my band friends, at least. Probably because most of them would probably get brain haemorrages discovering what I've been hiding. Eheh. They remember me as the person who reads while holding long notes on my instrument..

I think I'm falling sick. I keep sniffing, and whenever I sneeze my throat hurts. Why, why at this time? I have two cds of Gravi and the WeiB OAVs to watch tonight, if I manage to finish the work I have today. I have to watch them and be done with them, or else the next time I see Natsuki at school she'll ask about the Gravi vcds again, and I won't have the strength to face her. *sneezes*

I got a whole lot of chocolate and assorted knick knacks from friends at school today, it being the last day. Unfortunately I can't eat any of it, being sick, and I think most of it got squished in my bag. My poor, abused, bag. Well, it's getting it's own back. My mom keeps complaining that if I carry it around for much longer my shoulders are going to end up deformed.

Not sounding very coherent here, am I? *sneezes*

Meia, if you want to see what I've done of the Dias/Ashton fic, you can check my filedump. I'll put what little I've got done of it there.

Jo-chan, it's okay about the Eva manga. I got them from Kino already- read half of vol 3 on the bus, not sure when I can find time to read the rest,but.. I like what I've read of it, so far. Shinji does have more of a spine, yes, but I think it's just that he seems more mature? He's not that much of a doormat personality, either.

I'm oh-so very tired. And it's all the fault of the two of you. But thanks. It feels good to have someone to study with and to help with schoolwork. Even if eventually we did get sidetracked. Sakura-viewing-angst Party! Not forgetting the tea, of course. *cackles* I think we traumatised some of the Mos Burger patrons? And random people we passed?

It seems to be a day for traumatising people, then. Perhaps I should stop, but I think I also traumatised a classmate of mine again, by letting her read the translated lyrics to Bossanova, Cassanova, by WeiB. (It's the song where Koyapi and Seki Tomakazu get away with singing porn to each other) I'm probably also finally shaking off that 'serious, quiet and ultra-studious tag' that's been hanging on me for my entire four years or so.

I may not seem like it online, but for some reason people at school like to think that I'm scary and that I spend my entire life on band and on studies. 'Oh, and on that Japanese stuff too' Today was the day we wrote nice things about each other for our testimonials. (Girls, this is an extremely important document! It will follow you for the rest of your life.) *imagines sheaf of papers hopping behind her*

There might have been a time when I was like that, yes. Maybe around a year and a half ago? Being a footdrill mistress might have had something to do with that too. But stuff changes, and people change too. Guess my image didn't move with me.

*looks back at entry* Eheh, foppy and sentimental. Childish, too. Guess some things never change.

Just a quick blog post- You know, if you're going to talk about Ling-oneechan's habits with her biology specimens, you really shouldn't forget that she did tell me what you did with yours. *nikoniko* Still studying with Jo-chan tommorrow?

I have the WeiB Kreuz OAV. And I ran into Jane today, who'd already watched it, and was telling me about it. Between her and Alexandra, I really want to watch it. But I can't..! Plus, there's my Dad, who seems to have suddenly caught some flu and bought anime for himself, and is watching it happily while I am stuck here trying to study.. Oh well.

STAR OCEAN 5
nospoiler|nospoiler|nospoiler|nospoiler
Precis REDEEMS herself.

Or somewhat, actually. Someone needs to hit the mangaka on the head and introduce her to the wonders of yaoi fangirldom. In other words, where's the screaming good slashably cute Ashton in book 3?

Not to say that he suddenly lost all of that drowned kitty cutesyness, but somehow in the two books since book 3, he managed to grow so.. so.. damnably /straight/. I give up on Claude. The poor boy's gone on Rena. But Dias is still showing promise. A nice lot of promise. Plus the fact that he's really starting to remind me lots of Aya? With the cold "Nobody cares about me.. or deserves to" attitude, only somewhat more endearingly and justificably, and with the sis-con too.

AAAAAAAaaaagh! Kaori just came to my class, and she has one GRAVI ARTBOOK! AAaaahhhh *runs around screaming*

Now excuse me while I go and sparkle.

"SAN! HAI! HAI! HAI!"

Listening to Takehito Koyasu-sama sing as Hannagata is an experience. I'll put up that song sometime, if I can get the space or the time. My sides hurt- can you imagine Seishirou or Aya as a gay fop who takes beatings from everybody, reminds you of jellyfish, and sings like.. like..

Think Sei-chan. Think Sei-chan in drag, only worse. I think that Koyasu-sama must have had a lot of fun doing this one.

12:48 p.m.

*looks at blogs* *sweatdrops* Wow, Jo-chan, that's a lot of blogging for only, uh, two days? I hope you have the manga I promised you by now.. passed them to Meia. Btw, I couldn't find the rest of them at Comics Connection, so I'm ordering them from kino in dribs and drabs. It'll be rather slow, but I have no time to read them anyway.

First of all. My Chinese 'O' Level results. They weren't good, but they weren't bad either. The sort of results that I hate to get, because it was hard deciding whether or not to retake the paper. But it was a distinction anyway, and I have tons more to study, so I decided not to retake the damned paper.

I hate school. I like learning new things, but I hate having to have to hammer things into my head until my brains are all sore. Speaking of which, my computer is playing games with my mind. Either my computer or my modem. Or both. I know there were entries other than that one, and people have changed layouts by now, dammit! Load!

And that's enough bitching for today. Ruder-than-usual-language and all. If anyone needs me, I'll be listening to mp3s in front of the computer. And studying.

08:59 p.m.

Kaori, have I ever told you that I love you? Sakano with an unknown somebody! He needs to take that tie off. And the shirt. And.. *cackles* ^______^

Jo-chan, you got a blog at this time? o.Ox;;; *is panicking over the ENGLISH prelim, because she can never do coherent comprehension* Oh well. Bet you've already done most of your studying, which I haven't. And if Meia is still at your place: Bad girl. Bad, bad girl. The two of you were supposed to be studying, right? Electrolysis, right? But hey. You blogged, and you forgot the dog comment. *dancing around the computer*

Alexandra, I'd buy you, if only so that I could get more of that wonderful DN Angel smut. But I'd probably have to sell myself before I could afford that, and I'm not even worth that much.

My blog is starting to look like a message board, I know. But I have nothing to say about my life right now, apart from whining about exams, which I have already done, and bashing speech day, which these people have already done. (Prize giving day, and almost a quarter of the prize-winners skipped, da yo..) So I shall post this entry and go back to my studies now.

Hmm. What I forgot to add yesterday was that after my friend and I started cooing over the sketchbook pictures, some other classmates came over. The Score:

3 people- Are they gay?
2 people- I know they're gay. They're gay, right?
1 person- Why? *wailing* Why does he have to be gay?

After that I think I spoilt my serious image by fluttering around the class almost literally sparkling.

12:59 p.m.

A friend who shares the use of the class computer with me kindly shattered my sense of self worth and banished me to the depths of angsting self doubt and hopelessness. In other words, she pointed me here, and I stupidly filled in the questions as honestly as I could. And how much am I worth? Not going to tell.

12:34 p.m.

It's a small world. Small enough that when my parents decide to hack up the upstairs bedroom toilet, the entire house catches the flack. Literally. Or maybe it just means that my house is too small.

A friend of mine- a classmate who also likes anime, although our interests in series don't match, asked to see the YnM sketchbook which Meia was kind enough to lend me today. So I let her, and we cooed over the beautiful sketches together. Then, well, YnM being YnM, and Matsushita-sensei being her wonderfully talented self, some of the things implied by the pictures disturbed my friend enough to make her ask, "Is he.. a homosexual?"

I was rather amused, yes, but also apprehensive, since I know from class debates that there are homophobes in my class. In any case, I said yes, he is. So she gave me a funny look and we continued looking at the pretty sketches.

She's drawing Hisoka and giving me funny looks across the table now..

Let me see, what was I supposed to bring today? Er... in other words, to the people I'm supposed to bring stuff for, I forgot. Suma...

I should probably explain the chicken comment. To clarify things, I am not a chicken. I am a human being. (Some people might beg to differ, but I assure you that's quite true.) Owning a cute stuffed toy hen does not make me automatically a chicken. Said stuffed toy happens to be a gift of a very sweet junior, and has absolutely nothing to do with evil. Even if some people insist on stealing it from me to torture on the way home. You know who you are.

And I'm probably disappearing for the next few weeks too.

To the people who keep sending me university diploma offers:

I do want a university degree, yes. But not from yours.
Thank you.

I had my english orals today. I would have blogged then, but the teacher told me to switch the computer off. Smart move for once, actually. Not that I would cheat, but the thing is that you can, and they allowed computer usage during the Chinese ones, and the Prelims. Oh well, that's over and done with, so I suppose all that's left for me is to buckle down and just plain mug. Depressing, ne?

On the other hand, depression has funny results. Especially with me. I can blame the entire Seishirou-tarepanda thing that might get to the cffml tonight on it. And all sorts of other things too. Eheh.

Mei-chan, feeling better?

Insectokiri Bugosai? *chokes* Zzzoorrooooooo!

Alexandra-san, having problems deciding who to put in? Why not all of them? I've always thought that with orgies, the more the merrier..

*sweatdrops* Anou Alexandra-san, it wouldn't just be angsty families with side helpings of molestation, it would be ORGY. Definitely Orgy. ^_^ It sounds very interesting.. keep updating on how it turns out, okay?

To: My Modem

Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs Modem,
I'm writing to say that I love you very much. Very much, do you hear? But I do promise that if you crash one more time, when this damnable connection plan expires and your shelf-life runs out, I will take you down and I will make damned sure that you regret crashing on me fifteen times in the space of one morning. One unholy hour in the morning.

Love, Aine

My stomach hurts, but I'm alive. And happy, and bouncing. I love my dad, because he finally got the net back up. And I hate him, because he made me wait one whole hour staring at the monitor, forbidden to type in the simple activation codes as he went out to fetch my mom and left me at home. And no icq yet, because he's afraid to download anything lest it break the computer. So I have a nice dsl connection now but websites look really funny, because somehow someone managed to damage one of the drivers.

Better than nothing, I guess. But the conversation involving Sei-chan and Tarepanda will have to wait. I even have new inspiration, from the uh.. *coughs* interesting speculations on his gender.

I want to go to Otakon too! Of course, that would be pretty impossible, because even if I could get my parents to take a holiday in some city half the globe away, my school wouldn't let me.*pouts*

I've been spending my time alternately studying, watching stuff on tv (well, poking fun at english dubs of anime), and sparkling at the Hanakimi Character book.

Hey, don't complain. I might have some of Psoh and the character book, but I brought you Hanakimi 8-10, plus you have the Sotsugyou M before I even read it. Still, looking at the Hanakimi character book only makes me want to sparkle and sparkle and well, sparkle. I love Hanakimi. And I want book 11 in Chinese because apparently it has more fan-girl service and boys cross-dressing. I want book 12 too, because I want to see Umeda-sensei's crush in action. Umeda Hokuto at 17 looked so hot...

I survived through many episodes of the Ccs dub. Apparently the local television station was running a marathon of it. (And Pokemon, but you'd have to bite me to make me watch it.) There are many things to say, but I'm sure someone's already said them. Still.. Clow! Not! Cloud! I was sputtering when I heard that. (On the subject of the local tv stations, they have this wierd habit of playing the Mononoke-hime theme now and then when they air a sappy drama serial.)

Oh, and I managed to watch all 26 eps of Neon Genesis Evangelion. (Can anyone tell I've been studying less than I should have been?) I love it to little bitses! The ballet episode! The evas dancing to crazy music.. Eva's one of those series that make my head hurt, but I love it anyway. (I love all those other series that make my head hurt too, not that there are many of them.)

*stretches* I might start collecting the Eva manga now. Or when I get the money.

02:29 p.m.

I am alive. I have a brain. And it /hurts/.

.. In other words, I've been having some Talks with Meia again, and we've managed to come up with some Interesting and downright Wrong ideas. I think, therefore they are.

It all started with use discussing the utter predictability of the ending for Hanakimi.. I mean, if Sano and Mizuki don't get married and live happily ever after, if Nakajo-sensei decides to through a bomb the fans' way, I'm going to find some dark corner and bang my head against the wall. I swear I will.

I think the Sano-Mizuki pairing is a cute one. The kids from that pairing would also be nauseatingly cute. Not just chibi-cute, but sugar-CCS-nauseatingly cute. And the fans would like them. There would probably be twins, one male, one female. The boy would be like Mizuki, cute, innocent, sweet. And he would like boys. The girl would be as protective as Sano, and she'd bully the boy a lot, but it would be for his own good.

So Meia commented that I had just described Subaru and Hokuto, and the concept just grew from there. Sei-chan would be related to Umeda-sensei (Gay doctor, meet Gay doctor)

I think relating TB/X to Hanakimi was bad enough. But no, just this morning Meia had this brilliant flash of inspiration (for once it's not me with the violently /wrong/ ideas..)

Meia: You know, I was thinking about a female Fuuma
Aine: *Chokes*

You know, in a strange way that would make the new American publishers very, very happy. Cause then they could brush off the many CLAMP trademark scenes there with the explanation that Fuuma's a girl. (Of course, he would be a tranvestite /and/ a dominatrix, but still..) I still can't believe that my Ling nee-chan actually believed Meia about that!

The discussion about tranvestites brought us to Touya, and how the American release has him with a girl's name (Dub!Kill!Kill!) Tori, which means 'bird' in Japanese. I think. So one of us (I forgot who) wondered if Touya were in anyway related to Kotori. Move scene to Touya's mother Nadeshiko, who has the hair and the sweet smile, at least.

I think it's safe to say the entire thing degenerated after that. I mean. Kotori as Sakura and Touya's mother would make Fuuma Sakura's uncle? *ouchpainouch* My brain hurts.

Other supposed relations we touched on were Tsuzuki, who with those purple eyes and the stature somewhere between a bishounen and a biseinen, just /has/ to be the lovechild of Fuuma and Kamui, and Hisoka who with those eyes has to be related to Subaru. And Kamui as well, judging by the personality. *painpainpain*

There's more, actually. Notice the number of black-tied, black-suited bishounen/biseinen? We figured that they were related. That would create blood ties between Tatsumi(YnM), Sakano(Gravitation), Brad(WeiB), and Seishirou(X).

My brain hurts. Tell me if yours doesn't. (And there's more, but it hurts too much thinking about it.)

In other news, 'O' level results coming out for the Chinese paper on monday *ahhhhhhhh* Only a few people are interested in that though, so I'll just shut up about it now.

OTs on Mailing Lists annoy me, but I can stand them most of the time, as long as the people are polite and don't post too many one-liners. One-liners annoy me too, but I generally don't say anything. A list has a title! A list has a Topic! Generally people join mls to talk about the topic that is indicated by the ml title! Unless you can truly say that you know everybody on the list and that they won't be irritated by such, please keep such posts to a minimum. And don't say "so shoot me".

Having to check email on limited computer time and a slow modem is an Experience.
