Here's another quiz result from the Dessert quiz place (I'm guessing they took that quiz down):
Take this Quiz
Well, today @ PE was kind of tiring....I wasn't sure if some guy was swearing at me or his buddy or not, but anyhow...after that it was a mile-ish thingie (called Smile Mile, a round that's a bit longer than a mile). @ the end, I was racing this one guy who was talkin' about how he wanted to make sure he got ahead of me, basically saying that I ran bad so he had to get ahead of me so he wouldn't look bad. Hmph. Well, I was kind of thinking earlier going down the last straightway that I was gonna keep jogging till I fainted (since most people seem to be able to do that except me, I'm bad at long term running) and I was racin' against him, going faster & faster (I noticed he kept looking at me). Then he pulled back over to the side off. I was going around the curve again, and I noticed that the timer that I thought was for the run was gone, and I was confused, and the bottom of my right lung was hurting like hell, and I was panting for five mintues afterward. Walking back over to the rest of the class, I was kind of stoned, and a football hit me in the back of the head. (We're doing football in class right now.) Normally, I think I would have turned around and glared at whoever did it, but I didn't respond like that this time. The teacher saw and apparently it was an accident. That wasn't a problem, but for some reason I think my eyes were watering. I said I was okay when the teacher asked, and she told me to get a drink of water and I did. After that I was back sitting and I didn't hear all of the explanation and so I was confused when my group was doing a passing practice with a quarterback, center, and receivers. I was kind of listless afterward, and I guess I'm listless now. (Hey wait, listless is one of my vocab words...)
Listenin' to some nice classical music, and I'm gonna need to do Chinese homework soon. But I think I'm okay on that. Huh, now I feel more relaxed than listless. A listless-kind of relax, but relax it is. Cool.
Can't think of anything better to say, except that Onee-chan's coming back tommorrow. That's nice and cool. Laaaa. *after spinning around slowly* I feel a little dizzy now.

Not much going on now. I'm on the verge of putting up the Takiru Cards out on my sites.
Okay, now since I've mentioned them, I guess I'll explain what they are. Remember I mentioned that 4th season fanfiction before for CCS? What the 4th season means is that it happens very soon after the end of the 2nd movie (like a couple weeks or so). Yes, the 1st episode (it's in TV format) intros an original character. Her name's Takiru (and I haven't decided whether her last name's going to be Hajawashi or Hayabayashi, but likely Hayabayashi, even though I thought of Hajawashi 1st). Incidentially, even though I thought of her name before I knew any decent Japanese, 'taki' means waterfall (and the ru is just hiiragana without a kanji). I remember Onee-chan said that her name sounded like Takeru, which is a guy's name (and Takiru may well be a guy's name as well), but it could be bi-gender, like Alex & Sam.
In fact, I found that by coincidence searching in Google.com it exists in other places too:
http://www.monsterink.com/takiru/
http://www.geocities.com/reisugira/MyStories/ReadMe.txt
[Takiru's a guy here, and a bad guy. o_O Delete the ReadMe.txt & MyStories in the URL to get to the site]
http://www.artscentre.org.nz/Weekend-market/marketresults.asp?cat=Food%20Fair
[Kebabs served in Pita bread with 3 salads Homous Takiru and Taboula]
Anyhow...an episode later, Sakura, Tomoyo, & Kero find out about Takiru's magic (I know it's kind of common for a main added character to have magic, but hers isn't nearly as strong as Sakura's, and she hasn't had much formal training). Takiru has a talent in creating magic, and she and her family are fanatics of Clow Reed. So, the magic she creates are inspired by the Clow Cards. Hence, the Takiru Cards.
I guess I don't need to go any further than that on explanation for now, and for those lucky people tuning in, you'll get to see what the cards are. (Okay, honestly, only the names. But soon! I'll very likely put the cards up here 1st than my VCT.com.)
In alphabetical order:
Candy, Clamor, Compass, Cure, Dazzle, Envy, Guard, Hope (Takiru vers.), Joy, Sorrow, Vanish
If someone's interested in seeing a particular one (or all of them, even) tell me and I'll likely post them here. (Even though I don't have onee-chan's server to post them on, I can try something else.) Or Onee-chan, do you want to see them? Or I guess you can see them when you come home. Yep, they're colored! *grin* (I remember I was in contact with someone who also created a Joy card, but it was a girl. Mine is a guy! And so is Sorrow. Incidentially, Sorrow resembles Ken Ichijouji. ^_^)
Okay, I guess a blurb on my fanfiction ideas is enough for now. It's a little late. *waves* Bye for now!

Incidentially, if anyone's wondering why the images don't work, it's cause my sister's having problems with her site, which has the files of my images on. Check over at her weblog here for more info.
Some quiz results! Actually, a lot, and except for the first one, they're all taken from some time ago.
Gimme something good!
Find out what anime character cliche you are.
Innocent, energetic, and downright adorable all seem to describe you. You can get on people's nerves at times, but you're impossible not to love. You're also the most playful of the anime cliches.
Take the Which Utada Hikaru Song Are you? Quiz! "Silently standing in the exit
I attack the light in the dark"
Hikari
You're normal. (Wow) You don't have to pretend to be someone special just to fit in, because you're happy with being yourself. While other people are out at the movies hanging out with friends, you're home, either cleaning, cooking, doing the dishes or even studying. You're not afraid to show that you're normal!
PG
You devilish little tearaway, you - you require parental guidance. That means mummy should hold your hand before you do anything. How cool you are
"Which Movie Classification Are You?" Test created by Jamie - take it here.
Are you NASTY or NICE? Quiz made by Angela There's no two ways about it - you're really nice. You consider others before yourself and aren't afraid to stand up for people you care about. Relationships are important to you, and the friendships you have are for life.
Take the Dessert Quiz
you are
Oatmeal Cookies
You are smart but also very normal. Don't take that as a bad thing. Sometimes classic is nice
I guess I don't have time to comment on them much, and they aren't in any particular order, just what I saw that captured my fancy. I'll put a little rating on how much I thought it matched me. (The ones that didn't match me much I didn't put up, so most of these are pretty good.)
Type site: o o o o . (4 out of 5)
Type char cliche: o o o o o (5 out of 5)
Utada Hikaru song: o o o o .
(I'm not really normal, and I don't cook or clean much. But I do study! Heheh.)
Movie rating: o o o . .
Battle cry: o o o o .
Secondary character: o o o o .
Nasty or nice: o o o c . (3.5 out of 5)
Dessert: o o o c .
(Again, I don't think I'm completely normal - but then again, who is? I guess I'm classic, I'm not that liberal)
Fuzzy creature: o o o o o
(I find things on the ground everywhere, especially coins. And I'm a pack-rat.)
That was fun...big quiz result catch-up on my lack of putting them up.
[Later] One interesting one that I find very intriguing...
You have high standards for yourself, and try desperately to live up to them. But when you are unable to reach those goals, you fall into a deep depression. People see you as a brilliant person, yet inside, you are full of self-doubt and fear of failure. You need to set more reasonable goals.
Your song is: About to Crash
Which degree of inner turbulence are you? This quiz was made by Dionae (Also visit here to see the image & quiz result)
It's surprisingly intuitive...it's what happened recently. Huh. Hmm, is that About to Crash song a real song? If it isn't, I'm sure that even if my song was titled that, it would probably still be humorous (or trying to aim for that mood, anyway), slightly random-weird, and happyish. That's me, and how I would want my theme song to be. *nods*

Don't worry, Onee-chan, I'm feeling better now. On Thursday, I might have had some leftover frustration in the morning, but yesterday night (which is Thursday night) I got done all of my homework (including those due on Mon.!) and piano. I was really tired, my shins were hurting (okay, that might've been from the basketball play at PE), and my heart had beat awkward twice. (It felt weird like a hard twinge-ish sort of thing.) But I got to watch 1.5 episodes of Digimon Tamers afterward! (0.5 finishing one the day before, and 1 episode more after that. I'm on 17 now.)
Today, it's good, mostly because it's Friday and I don't have a lot of school homework (I still need to do Chinese for tomorrow, but it's mostly okay...)
At the CCS RPG I'm in charge of @ the Dreamz Portal Club, things are going well, and people are posting a lot. I posted something recently too. *grin*
And Onee-chan's coming back in a week! Whee-yay! *grin* Things have been going up apparently.

Today wasn't well. Or good. Whatever.
First off, I found out that I had brought a wrong right shoe to school since I was wearing my boots. (We need to wear our boots to get used to them to this school trip coming up.) I found out the class right before PE, so there wasn't time to call home. Right. Then, since I might've taken a little longer to put on my shoes from my boots, and I took a little longer to the before-class run, and the teacher counted me late thinking that I was just taking my time. Grr. I was panting by the end of that, damit! I was angry enough that I was able to run the superlap (a long track that's about a little more than two regular laps) at least in the middle of the crowd. Well anyway.
I had a basketball skill test and I did okay (even though most of the people's scores I know about were more than mine). Some people noticed the shoes...nobody was really bad about it. Okay.
Then after school, I'm going to after-school chess. When it's time for the person-to-person (it goes between a 'team' section and a 'club' section, I'm in the club and team is for more competitive people), I get with someone which I don't hit it off with. I got confused who I was going with, and slightly embarrassed myself. (And those times you just can't say anything in your defence without damage, in which you just have to shut up and go on, which is so damn frustrating! >___<) Yeah. After the game started, I once adjusted a piece a bit to straighten it, and the other guy said that if you touch it, you have to play it. Of course I knew that, but I told him that I was adjusting it. He said that you had to say adjust otherwise it counted. Now, you understand why I argued that I was just adjusting it, and I didn't know about that dang adjust rule, right? Well. I ended up having to move that stupid king anyway. After that, I really wanted to try to win. Determined-slanted-eyebrow type of thing. I really tried. But I'm a terrible player, or at least very very inexperienced. I still tried. I still lost. The same way I lost all the other matches. Easily. With not much really cool conflict or anything. So yeah.
I don't understand why I was so upset. I really tried hard to hold it in. It was stupid to be so upset over a stupid chess game. I was at least able to hide most of it (it probably was noticeable to several people anyway) until I got to the car. Then for some reason I just broke. And I was trying so hard not to blubber. I thought I was a wimp for doing that.
It might've been cause of all the things put together. I feel better now. I think I'm okay. But I'm wondering whether I'm really that hopeless at chess. The instructor's saying you just need experience, but I'm thinking that with me, it might not matter how much experience I get....I might still just lose the same exact way like all those...other times. (I've played only about 7 games in my life, and maybe five of them in the class. But still. '_')
I'm remembering when someone told me that I seem to be afraid of failure. I can't even seem to take a match better. Oh well. Maybe I'm just tired from the whole day.
Oh, not everything was bad. I think I did well on my social studies test today. That's good. Yeah...since social studies is my most difficult subject seeming like. Uh-huh.
I guess I should go do my homework now. Yeah. My hands are cold. Bye. At least the weekend's half-a-week away. And there's Digimon Tamers. *weak smile*

Monday, February 24, 2003 at 11:05 p.m. --
Okay, just some stuff. Onee-chan, did you know that beach sand is basically silicon? And silicon is used for computers. So, the Dark Ocean, beach sand, silicon, computers....do you think that's related? (Kinda interesting, isn't it?)
I was also kind of irritated at Yugio's girl character Anzu. I was reading the manga from Shonen Jump, and she's on my list of non-admirable female characters (along with Sakuno from Prince of Tennis and Quaool or the new water priestess from the sequal season of El-Hazard). Grr, she's annoying. They introduce her saying that she might be a bit pushy, but she doesn't seem pushy to me. Sure, she catches Yugi's box in the beginning, but later on she becomes the poor, helpless victim damsel-in-distress, oh, I'm saved!! Blush blush, that's so romantic! *dwinge* Ugh. I just hate those type of female chars.
All for now.

Thanks for the Digimon CD's, Onee-chan! I'm likin' them so far. Now I'm remembering how I liked the 3rd season and stuff.
Mentioning Digimon Frontier, the basic reason it's hard to like is because the dialogue stinks. i.e. Koichi's watching everyone turn away from him in a dream-illusion, and he exclaims (wait for it): "Why isn't anyone paying attention to me?!" o_O As compared to Takato: "Hmmm....I wonder if Digimon dream? Well...if they do dream...it'd probably be about food." ^o^ Heheheheheh!
See, I'm going back to the 3rd season now and I'm so amused by it. For Frontier, I have to make myself amused by it. Such a difference. And for Frontier, I had the distinct urge to make myself up a character to balence the show, to put in a missing element, while for these I haven't had the need.

Just sayin' that I've been going through my Pokefanfic and proofread it, added some words in there, fixed spelling and that sort of stuff. Also in Pokeball 12, I added about how Pokemon people in live-action look like cosplayers, so the difference isn't as startling as it could be, which I added from this one discussion I had with a fellow fanfic writer at my elementary school once about how characters differ in looking live-action. See, apparently she was doing a Pokemon split action story too, except the self character is transported to the Pokeworld and redone in anime-style. In mine, both are of course live-action to themselves, but in our windows to their world, TVs, they look animated. Interesting, no?
Also, I have added a counter statistic thing on the right sidebar so I know what people are coming here now. *grin*

Well, I'm feeling much much better from that flu I was having from the beginning of this week. (This week was vacation, so at least I didn't miss any school....) I can even breathe normally now. 'Cept for a few coughs.
Mom & dad and I went on a genuine walk in the park. We drove to the local park and walked around, and I played in the playgrounds we passed, slid some slides and got reminded of the static electricity thing, swung in swings (wheeee!), watched some interesting duckies and very noisy seagulls, and observed how interesting the kids were around. Most of them were younger than me. I was on the swing for a little while when an Indian family came by. There was one empty, so one of them took that one while the rest of them were arguing who was going to go on after me. Seriously! It was "I'm going after her." "No, I am!" "No, I am!" I couldn't help but grin, as cheesy as that sounds. After a while I got off and asked who wanted to go next, and one of them went forward and said thanks. It turned out to be a good idea that I got off, since I felt kind of dizzy for the next minute or so. Oh, and I remember there were two smaller Chinese toddlers putting tanbark on one of the slides, and a little later I decided to slide down it, and one of the toddlers, the girl, started scooping it off. I kind of stood up and jumped off the slide since she hadn't gotten it all off by the time I got to the bottom, and I just said 'Whoops! Pardon me', and I thought it was cute of her to be sweeping it back off when someone was going on it when she was putting it on before.
I also noticed that a little Japanese tower statue was on one of the hills. It was a 10th anniversery gift from our city's sister city Toyokawa. (In fact, the cherry blossoms in the park came from them too! Our city gave them a replica of the city's logo in return to put in Toyokawa). Man, the things you learn when you go outside.
Hum, hum, trips to the park...they sound so TV-showy, but they're so rare with me that there's something special about them.
Plus, I'm pretty sure I got done all my vacation homework! Yipee! I love getting things off my mind. I hope I can get those CD's from Onee-chan soon while I have time.

Whee!! The c.r.e.a.t.i.o.n. people are just so nice! I got an e-mail recently saying that I could download those on a little special page, since they had happened to just miss seeing my e-mail before they updated it. Gotta love 'em. *grin*
-- Tomoyo Ichijouji (me)
Saturday, February 15, 2003 at 09:47 p.m. --
Wahhhh....I missed my requests on this song request page since I hadn't visited it for two weeks due to busyness....and I sent an e-mail right before they were happening to update, and I guess they didn't get it soon enough, cause later I went there and they had new songs up.....wahhh........(the songs I missed were the karaoke versions of Catch You Catch Me & In This Distant Town). *frowny sigh* Grramm. (That's a new grunt...) They haven't responded to the e-mail yet, so something might work out, but I'm not counting on it. *frown* Oh well, I'm trying to convince myself that I didn't want them that much anyway and so far it seems to work. Oh, yeah, the request page is creation.no-ip.com if someone's interested.
Oh yeah, I updated my profile a bit with subjects, flowers, wanted stuff, excurriculars, and least favorite food.
Today I happened also to stumble across the Kodansha english site and I found that the section for boys was so big it was subdivided into boys, teen, and men. 'Women' was in one category. And most of them were love stories! (Before I launch into a complaint, the one of the 'promising' section that I've read some of and liked is one called "Wind Up Tina" which looks cute. *grin*) Especially this one which was called "Nuts to make you grow" which is about an elementary school girl (most are about junior high or high school girls, but I'll get to the bad part in a sec) that eats some nuts and grows into a full-grown woman!! And she likes it, since she's always wanted to be! )_< You don't know how much that bothers me. (Also in Sailor Moon, I believe there was this ep. in SuperS in which Reenee or Chibiusa or whatever switches physical ages w/Serena/Usagi and she likes it because of this one crush on a teacher. >_<) And of course, she gets involved in a situation she likes this one adult and now she can get into something with her new "body".....grrr.....whatever bad happens to her, she dang deserves it. That's how I am about that. Hmph. She's stupid.
Yeah, on another note....Digimon Frontier. 02 and Tamers I really liked/like a lot (I haven't seen all of Tamers yet, and I haven't seen enough of 01 to know of it), but Frontier kind of misses the same chord. The characters aren't as good as the other ones, and the thing about growing up or maturing by going Digimon....not my style. And transforming....that kind of goes into the category I have with spirits possessing people.....uncomfortable scariness. It's cause basically it's the other end -- possessing a different body than your own. IE it bothers me with Zoe quite a bit since she gets more physically mature (okay, frankly a bigger chest with scanty clothing)....doesn't that feel the least bit awkward? Plus, the transforming thing kind of takes out the Digimon buddies. That just made the whole show for the others! More on the characters, I can't really identify with any of them (and recently on a talk with Karura-onee, neither does she). Takuya's pretty smart, but he's too...how do I put this...well, the episode where he 'gets in touch with nature' is not me and not relatable with me. Koji - he's the lone wolf, tough, and calculating....obviously nonrelatable there. JP is an interesting character, but he has this thing with Zoe, and I don't see any reasons that relate to me when he goes into his thoughtful phase. (It's strange I can't pinpoint an exact not-relate to mine...I think it's just that there's nothing that does relate.) Zoe -- she's cool, I guess, but in the most unrelatable way. The clothes she wears, ie, show her tummy and the miniskirt as well. She's tough, but a kind of whiny tough, like slapping people for falling on her, or getting a little too close to her on accident. The time where she's off deciding the best swimsuit is not me...and her transformations are not for me either. Tommy - I guess I haven't really been a bullied person searching for toughness, since my philosophy has been not to let anyone pick on me, so that's that reason. So, I've gone through them, and none relate to me. I rest my case with the characters. Oh, and Bokomon (or Bokumon? not sure) and the rabbit Digimon are the closest thing to Digimon partners, but they aren't cute in the right way. They're more slapstick kind of comedy, and that's still not supplement. And the other Digimon -- many of them are jerks, or just exist, and the thing about the Digital World now -- it's less digital than I'd like it to be. I definitely like the 01/02 and Tamers world better than theirs. And the thing about the maturing thing @ the forces of nature ep. with Takuya....he said that he didn't feel like a kid anymore and 'knew what it was to be a Digimon'. I don't know, that almost seems like it wants to make you feel guilty or something. That cuts them off from relatability even more. The draw, like the Digimon partners and a sizable cast of warm main characters together, is gone.
That's a pretty big writing bit, and I know it's pretty much a rant (rants make people kind of depressed, so if I made anyone feel downer, I'm really sorry about that. If you want, you can read my Pokefanfic to cheer up! ^-^;) but I guess I got started and said what I thought about it. Apparently, though, I heard from Onee-chan that the ratings were dropping lower and lower in Japan for it, so I guess Onee-chan and I are not the only ones who think so. She also said that because of the drop, they're most likely not making another Digimon. ;_; Wah. Why can't they follow-up another Digimon? ...well, if they don't have a good idea for them, scratch that. And if the ideas for new ones aren't going to be any better than DF...I guess that's for the best. It's just too bad they couldn't end on a better note.
Oh yeah (I seem to be adding stuff all over, aren't I?), a thing about DF again. Kiku is pretty much the character that I wish it would have that would balence it and make me like it better. She doesn't have a transformation, for starters, and she's kind of a joker. *grin* Or wants to be anyway. I can probably relate to her better than any of the Frontier people, and even though I did make her up myself, she's not everything like me. 1st: she's kind of on the quiet side. Two: she takes good notes even if she doesn't draw well. (unless you're saying that I don't, well then she does worse than I do, to the point where visuals for her are stick figures that aren't really drawn well, but getting the point across).
Is the slightly wider entry column okay for people? If not, tell me and I'll go back to 400 (it's 500 now).

Well, I finished For They Shall Be Filled, and it was pretty good. The only thing that really bothered me (that I don't take it for not good, just bothering) was the
(okay, spoilers from here)
description of kind of description of humanly mutilation in one chapter, and mostly the spirit possession thing in one chapter; that kind of stuff just is kind of bothering to me, it probably won't bother other people as much
(end spoilers)
I kind of got a flu or cold or whichever (no kidding, since several people from each of my classes Valentine's Day were missing, and quite a couple of others were coughing and sniffing). Don't feel too energetic right now....at least it's vacation. Ohhh....then again, there's that essay to do.....hope it won't be too much of a problem...*anguished grimace* Grah....
Well, er...I drew something. It's a girl I made up for Digimon Frontier...you know, DigiF is pretty much the only Digi season where I seriously felt the need to make up another character. There's only one human main character girl in this series (right now, anyway...) and I thought it just needed another one. What spirit does she have, you might ask? None. There's only 10 'Legendary Warriors', right? Yep. She has a D-Tector, but it obviously doesn't hold any spirits or anything. That necklace she's wearing is her mini-travel-size pencil that's convenient for writing notes down in that notebook that she carries in her shirt pouch. Even though she's a pretty good note-taker, she's not really a great artist.
As for her personality, she's kind of a more observant noting person, even though she's not a lone wolf. At those times, she thinks a lot and her type of intellegence is displayed. Even if she doesn't say what she's thinking all of the time, if she deems it significant to the group at the time, she'll mention it boldly. When she's not quietly making observations, she's surprisingly energetic and playful, and tries to make jokes during those times, even if they end up unsuccessful. One of the things she ponders about is what the specific nature of the spirit transformations really is, and she can really only speculate since she can't transform herself. As for the role in the group, she kind of falls into a Bokumon and the rabbit-red-pants Digimon (sorry, don't know their names really well) category. Oftentimes in battle, she'll likely be sitting along with them, oftentimes with her notepad in hand. I drew a kind of stationary almost-full image of her (it's a very unoriginal pose, but I have all of her attributes pretty much straight, except for maybe the necklace which might have beads and might not, depending on detail amount). She's also got red hair and gray eyes, two colors I haven't seen in Frontier yet (brown, brown; brown, green; blonde, green; brown, brown; black, blue)
(click for full image)
Oh, yeah, and her name's Kiku in English, and in Japanese it's Kikuko Mimori. Also, the picture is resized for fast loading, but if someone wants to take a look at the big picture, tell me.
Well, I guess I'll go eat lunch now. See ya.
[Later] I fixed the image up some more with some better shadows. Also, I guess it's pretty obvious since it's my character and it has my name & URL address on it, but please ask if you're going to actually use it somewhere, so I can know who actually likes my drawing enough to use it for something. 8_8

Actually, I read some more of that fanfic called Takato Wong, and I found myself less interested in it. Takato's about 20 or something in this, ten years in the future? Therefore, there are dates and more coupling and all that. I'm not interested in couples, and not coupling fanfics (especially if the whole dang storyline revolves around the couple and nothing else happens). I read some of the 1st chapter again and the stuff it wrote about didn't interest me. So I guess chances are I'm not going to start reading it. But that one called For They Shall Be Filled was great (or is great, since I'm still trying to finish it), so I'd be reading that instead anyway.
So, it was my birthday on Thursday! Woo-hoo! *grin* I feel tired now, though, ever since I had to stay up until something like two in the morning to get my math homework and LA story done. *lethargic silence* I'm hoping I can get my fanfic on my Videocaptor Tomoyo site soon as well. OK, that's all my tired mind can think to say right now...

Hello, again. I found a fanfic recommendation from this place called Dejimon.com about this interesting-titled fanfic called Takato Wong, where apparently it's several years in the future with Takato's parents dead, and he got adopted by a family with, you guessed it, the last name Wong. It was said to be very funny. I skimmed the first chapter, and it seems to be well written of what I saw. If you want to read it, Onee-chan, tell me how it was (or I guess just say it in your weblog).
I feel kind of repressed without my painting program....*sigh* I at least was able to scan some stuff to save it in case of big disaster. Hey! I think maybe I can post some sketches in a moment, so if you can, Onee-chan, take a look at those too and tell me what you think. *grin* I seem to be putting more stuff on my weblog now than my VCT.com site...a thought...maybe I should put my Poke-fanfic there too. *grin*

Hey. I read recently about that space shuttle crash of Columbia. (That's the same one, I believe, that was used with Neil Armstrong's trip to the moon) That's really sad....*grimace* Dang, this world seems to be messed up lately. And it must've happened when I was eating breakfast! All during Chinese school, I was oblivious about it. Grr. *sigh*
Anyway, I guess everyone can read more about it other news places. So, in other stuff, Onee-chan? I'm looking for the PSPro program CD. Do you know where to find it? (Oh, and like I mentioned on your comments, I didn't read that quiz. I guess I would have regretted it anyway.)
And, an interesting idea I thought up of during the week. What if different people from history became Digidestined? You know, as kids and stuff? You might ask, how would that be possible? Well, what if they were here in the modern world, all kids? Imagine: Albert "Al" Einstein, Martin "Marty" King Jr., Anne Frank (I'm reading about her in English now), George Washington, Amelia "Amy" Earhart, Benjamin "Benjie" Franklin? How funny would that be? (If anyone feels like I forgot to mention someone, go on and give me some more! *grin*) What do people think of it? Does it sound interesting?
And how else? Would it be cool to have crest assignments? Should I not? Or different named crests? Sorry, I'm just delighted with this idea. If people think it's interesting, I'll consider seriously writing about it! On the other hand, I hope it doesn't sound too stupid....

I guess I'm not as flared up as yesterday about the fanfics, Onee-chan. I didn't see the labels & descriptions carefully. *grin* It's just that I saw that even though there were only three in the R & NC-17 category (and an equal amt. of that in the G category), it's just that with the thing about there were more, but you couldn't show them, that made me think that maybe you thought most of the good ones were those. *sheepish grin* Still, I still think the things about having light-hearted good fics are true. '-'
Hope you can also read the fanfic at least a little bit! If you can and feel like it, tell me what you think.

Well, a couple dreams I had lately were:
+ A dream that included a bookstore, Digi-Tomamon at a counter that looked somewhat like the counter at Longs, and then Digi-Tomamon was explaining something about a book or story and I somehow stepped into it, and after a bit in there, I woke up. For some reason, it made me feel kind of unsettled.
+ One where I don't quite remember what else was in the dream, but I remember booming thunder in a dark field, which was in the distance and in front of me (the point of view was somewhere up in the sky)
+ Last night I had a dream which involved a logo set that made different airships that appeared throughout the dream (I once wanted to do my own model, but for some reason the people that had it were reluctant to let me, and they never did), a deserted island beach which people were trying to escape from (I really can't remember that part well, I only remember one image), with someone that was a werewolf <--- ??? Couldn't remember much here, I guess
Also, Karura-onee, I took a look at your weblog today and saw the Digimon fanfics. I read the 1st one already, and I read a bit of the beginning of the 2nd one, but the others were rated NC-17 or R, so I avoided them. You know, does that mean that the NC-17 ones are usually the good ones? 'Cause that makes me sad, thinking that since my stories aren't rated R or NC-17 if I can help it, that makes my fanfics not as good. ;_; That's not true, is it? (And your comment thingies on your last two entries don't work!) Were there funny light-hearted ones that you found that you liked? Forgive me for being kind of silly, but that's 'cause I guess that's my style; slight humor, light-heartedness, not too much darkness.
Okay, I guess a rant's coming up. Just because a story's dark, doesn't mean it's good! And a light story can be good too! People might say that oh, light-hearted stories are just too shallow, that they don't see what dark dark things are in the world, and blabbity blah. Well, I say that if it's written well, light stories can be quite enjoyable and thoughtful, too! (Mine can! +_+) Sorry, I guess I'm just putting in a bit of self-confidence for myself.
Speaking of fanfics, I finally posted one of my own somewhere! Yay! *grin* It's about Pokemon, yes. But that's cause I wrote it way back when I liked it, and I finished it finally when I dug it out one day. So, I guess I'll put a link here: A Choose-Your-Own-Dialogue Pokemon story. If anyone feels like giving me feedback, go ahead and e-mail me it. *grin*
Okay, I guess that's all for now. Bye.

Hoy, Onee-chan! I figured out something for your layout. It involved flipping your image, yes, but it ends up looking halfway decent (to me, anyway). Click here to see what I have in mind. If you like it, and you need some of the files I have (like the cropped & resized image of Ken & Daisuke), tell me and I'll send them to you.

Sunday, January 12, 2003 at 01:55 p.m. -- Karura-onee! Got a quick question to ask: Since I think the repeats are of all the ones from episode 1 that we didn't get to record (which is good!) I wanted to record them on a different tape. Two tapes that I found that I can rerecord over: one has "Evangelion (Japanese subtitled)" on it, and the other has "Bubblegum Crisis" on it. Which one should I record over? (If both, I think I'll record over the Evangelion one, since it's the same type of tape as the current one.) Since it's 12 episodes that we didn't record, and 6 hrs for EP recording, I think we'll be able to record all the episodes we missed snugly onto the tape! (If my calculations are correct). And I think the new episodes are going up to ep. 21 or so before the repeats start.

Hello. It's kind of nice outside, since the stars are just so clear and bright. I think I could see just about all of the Orion constellation (if I'm not ignorant and it's some other constellation altogether or not one at all *sweatdrop*). And....uh, nothing. My homework load is right now not taking-the-whole-evening of the sort *knocks carefully on wood* ever since the new year back to school.
Hey, Karura-onee! I know you're back at college now, but so you know, I was also able to record ep. 13 of Digimon Frontier too, since it was in the digital storage. You know, there was Sunday's episode? Well, there was the episode before that (even though it was before the episode before it because of a airing mix-up *cocks brow*) the one with the crystal castle. Anyhow, sorry if you didn't understand a word of that. Just that I got 13 too, not just 14. *grin*
Okay, feel hungry for some more cookies....I've been more hungry lately. Dumdeedumdeedum...

Sighhhhhhhh.....*dreamy happy smile* I had the most wonderful & nice dream last night. Here's what it was about.
Sometime before the very happy incident at the end, I was out on a PE field that looked a lot like my old elementary school one, and it was daytime, but the grass was yellow & dry. I was separate from the activties going on on the part of the field that was closer to the school, and in a bit I started walking around picking some kind of objects up. The PE teacher or instructor told me to go do some command, like do so-and-so laps or something like that.
Then the happy part. I was in a classroom, in the back, sitting in the last row in the bottom-left hand corner, with only two desks in our row (I think it was like a small alcove, since the place where the rest of the desks would be was blocked by a wall). There was a nice person sitting next to me, and although I couldn't see him clearly during the dream, when I thought of that kid awake, I thought of Ken Ichijouji from Digimon 02. It may as well be him. Well, as much as I like Ken, I didn't really acknowledge that in the dream, and the most fun part was that I had apparently brought a stuffed animal to school that day (I wasn't really sure in the dream, but later I thought of it and thought of my stuffed fox, so it was probably it). I remember wishing very much for it to come alive, and I remember it did!! *grin* *grin* *grin*
It was kind of strange how, though. I remember I didn't really know it was coming alive at first (but some other part of my mind did, it seemed...and I seemed to realize it some moments later quietly, or I realized it when I put it away when the teacher was looking? I'm not quite sure...) and there was a funky male art teacher (like fancy funky) in the front, and he was telling us to draw. There was a piece of paper on the desk, and I drew with my index finger a girl J-Animation style (whom I seemed to recognize vaguely, but I don't know who it was now) and Ken next to me drew someone, too. It happened some other times this way, with the teacher telling us again more vigorously to draw, almost like he was challenging us. I think that the kid next to me was noticing something about the stuffed animal coming alive.
Well, that's about all I remember. The one thing really cool about this was that it just made me feel really really really good, like I really was going to find a Digimon or my stuffed animal was going to come alive. *happy grin* It was one of the most happy dreams I had ever had in a long time, something almost like years or at least months. It was one of those dreams where you feel kind of disappointed in having to get up in the morning. These kinds of dreams are so rare for me, so they don't ever go twice in a row, which makes me sad, since I want to continue it soon. But this new year is supposed to be better for me. So, it just might be different, I might have continuation(s) and others to the dream....*sigh* *grin* (See, my dreams many times I have a sequel or continuation to a dream. One time I was in a dream where I replayed a couple of dreams that I remembered having before! Even if they were dreams I had half-forgotten in consciousness.) I love good dreams I love good dreams....

I've added some banners to link to here, for those who are visiting. About it: I drew everything on it myself, without references, on the computer. Isn't that impressive? I also added the motion blur on the monorail via Paint Shop Pro. And the text as well. So, I don't really need to give any credit for it to anyone but me! *grin* Heehee. (Actually, there's only listed one under there, but I put the bigger one in place of the other Kingdom Hearts box image, which I put at the bottom of the entries. *grin* So there's not so much space inbetween the top and entries.
So, winter vacation has finally started for me! I offically got presents for my parents and sis (even though Dad gave me the money) and the tree got lighted! It didn't get decorated with other stuff yet, but I put one little one on one side! And I updated VideocaptorTomoyo.com, after so long (three months) of not. Besides putting new banners here, I also put some new ones there.
I wonder what's gonna happen this Christmas holiday......

Point at buttons to see the descriptions. If they have no button, I'll make a simple one myself here with their site name.
Here's my banners that you can use to link to my website (they're kind of wide for this sidebar, but I can just fix that some other time):
Drew all myself on computer, & motion blur. *grin*
I'll fill this with more links and maybe layout info and other stuff when I have time...

No matter what you do, don't steal my bandwidth! And since most of these are encoded myself, tell me if you're going to use or upload them. For everything else about the download, point at the little label until the pointer words come up.
