Haven't found one for Lydia yet. Maybe you could pick one, Onee-chan, since I've been doing all the other ones? If you don't want to, just tell me and I'll pick one, maybe on August since it doesn't have one yet. (Elena's and Aurine's birthdays were on the same day by accident! I didn't intend to do that, but if it was random it should be okay, right? Even if it wasn't random, I guess it'd be okay too anyway.)
I'll add more some other time. Just to tell you I'm also working on the theme song I'm writing! Ask me anytime and I'll post what I have so far. *grin*

In interest of Karura-onee:
"TAPIOCA EPICENTER
Young Asian-Americans feel the pull of pearl tea"
Title page (pg. 1)
pg. 2
pg. 3
I guess you're not the only one hooked on pearl milk tea! And did you get done the LH page yet? If so, I wanna see it! And then I can get text and screentone on it when I have time. (And tommorrow I don't have school, so that's pretty cool! *grin* Rhyming again!)
And (gosh, a lot of ands) I got to Halloween Town today (got through both Ursula battles without a KO on my part, and I don't think there were KO's on other members either). And the best part is I got to Halloween Town on actual HALLOWEEN! *grin* Nice, very nice! A good sign, even if I had to have dad and the walkthrough from the magazine to figure out the first battle. (I had wittled her down to her last HP, but it required to do some thing with her cauldron that when I did, it just knocked her already-ricketly block - another rhyme! what's up today? Halloween? - right off.)
So, in conclusion.....uh, what conclusion? I guess things aren't over yet, so....oh yeah! Did you know I'm already so obessed about Kingdom Hearts that whenever I think of something I like sorta or LH, the words "Kingdom Hearts" just pop right into my head spontaneously. Seriously! It's been demonstrated to myself several times, and it's just about completely on impulse. What do you think of that?
Okay, that's about it, I suppose. Can add more if I want, too. *grin*
I hope that my writing and ideas and stuff (especially about my 4th season fanfic of CCS) aren't cliche even though I try really hard for it not to be. Either that, or (more likely) I'm being too much of a worrywart. Anybody feel like giving me encouragement? *sweatdrop*

Okay, I feel like talking about a movie I finished watching today, Spirited Away. (Hey, that rhymes!)
(warning, spoilers might be ahead)
Spirited Away - I liked it, especially while in the middle part of watching it (meaning before I saw the ending). I wanted to see more, and I wondered what was next. I was also hoping that nothing would be left uncertain or too vague. After I saw the ending, I liked it to a certain degree (I didn't despise it all) but I kept thinking there was something missing, that it ended just slightly too soon. Does she get to meet Haku again? How? When the car is dusty at the end, how much time really passed? When I think of these, I thought that there should be a sequel, and was disappointed when I found out that Miyazaki, the person behind the movies, was retiring after this one. Dang it. After a while of thought today, when I was talking about it, I thought that it did end enough so that not a whole sequel would be needed to finish it up (unless it was a different section, like when it was she went to her new school/home). What I really thought was needed that would make my rendation of the ending best was for there to be some kind of epilogue, or extra scene at the end. And since the movie was turned off right after the credits started to show, there could have been one and the teacher decided not to show it or will show it tomorrow or something (it was in class I watched it, and even though I'll bet there isn't any afterward). The extra scene at the end could have given a better hint about how it is after, and how she meets Haku again (they obviously meet somehow, right? They promised. And it would just lose the uncliche thing if they didn't). Maybe there'll be one in the English showing in theaters, or something. Or maybe I can write a fanfiction with it, if all else not. *grin*
Anyhow, that was fun! (the writing of it up there, and for the heck of it the movie as well)
Oh, and Karura-onee, today's Enju's birthday. Here's a link to his theme song (the comments are on the right sidebar with another link). Next is Takeru's birthday on the 19th.
Okay, I'd better stop now. Bye for now.

One thing really strange: not only did they say in the main page to squeal loudly on Shuichi thing from Gravitation (no, I don't really know about that series, just heard about it), I got the seme as Shuichi and who's the uke? Shuichi! ._O What do seme and uke mean anyway? Or do I want to know?
I've gotten to Atlantica in KH. Almost up to where Dad is. Oh! and Karura-onee, I beat the tag team of Yuffie and Squall in the tournament! *grin* And please please show what you've done on LH soon! Okay, let me go over what I've got: Aros or Arois as the name, and new things - Nanami Taira (Taira means 'flat') as Maki's and Hikari's other friend, and Maki's little sister Sora. (Yes, I named her Sora, partially because of the video game reference, but it's also a girl's name [think Digimon] and it means 'sky', which is pretty. *grin*)
Well, that's about it for now!

I found out something by looking at my Japanese dictionary! Probably a bunch of people out there know that "Sora" means "sky" in Japanese. But I found that "Riku" means "dry land" in Japanese, and "Kairi" means "nautical mile" in Japanese, which is having to do with sea and oceans. Hmm! *strokes fingers to chin in a pondering way*
Oh, and Karura-onee! Maybe we could call the elf world "Arois" or "Aros", which is backwards of "Sora", with one adding an i between the s and o. Does that sound good? And please please post some LH stuff! Pleeease?
Oh, and I added Crimson's Theme a while ago on the right sidebar, if you didn't notice, and Kenichi's Theme just now.

Hey there, haven't posted in a while. I want something to post about, so I'll post about my progress in Kingdom Hearts. turn sideways-- :)
I've gotten past Destiny Islands and through Traverse Town, searching through Wonderland and rocking the Olympus Coliseum, swinging through the Deep Jungle (I'm using word phrases all over the place, aren't I?) and then back to Traverse Town to discover its keyhole (with the other ones discovered as well, assuming the Coliseum doesn't have one) and [spoiler] meeting Riku and him getting trickyed around by Maleficent *sad face* [end spoiler] and the boss of the town as well. And another tournament where I learned Gravity (can't wait to use that one!) and I still can't wait 'till I can play it next. *grin*
Okay, I posted something!

Oh, Karura-onee, tell Kenji that he changed his name to Leon in the game because the Heartless invaded his homeworld and since he couldn't save it, he was so ashamed that he hid his identity by going by a new name. And if he's taken any look at the videos, he should have seen that Yuffie "accidentally" calls him Squall, and he "corrects" her. (You can find that info in Jiminy's Journal after you meet him for the first time. I wonder if anyone besides me looks in there. *grin*)
Today wasn't all that great. It was hot today, for one thing. And I have to redo (okay, maybe just recopy) this one homework, and no matter how hard I tried, I was still crying a bit, and before that the teacher (she was probably teasing me, but I don't like teases when I'm upset ._.) since I was maybe cricking my hands and storming a bit (not exaggeratedly! *grimace*) she said not to throw a tantrum, do that with your mom, not with your teacher. ><) Bleeeeeeeh! She said a bit after outside about why I was upset and then kind of asked if I had a lot of work, and then she said for me to wash my face 'n stuff. Blah, why am I talking about this? Anyway, during recess I was still upset (working on homework, yes, all during recess) and she gave me a candy to cheer me up and said that was just like her daughter and stuff. But what makes me most mad of all (you'll see what I mean when I say I end up not being really climatic): what if all this makes it so I can't play Kingdom Hearts!!!! And on the weekend!! My sister's coming this weekend, too!!! Didn't get to play enough this weekend, must play more! More! More, I say!
Anyhow....Onee-chan! Please please let's do something on Love Hunters. Did you draw anything new? Character designs? New hairline on Hikari? Oh, and should Yukiko's be that last one I mentioned that's on Emerald Isle (called Amanda's Wedding, the last track)? And like I said before, Devyn's sad song or Requiem or Theme [gloomy blend] (maybe we can use that to denote a kind of theme with a certain mood to it, like Hikari's to be her [calm blend] or [serene blend]. Blend happens to be a synonym to mix, so it'd sound more creative or something like that. Oh, and should the theme song to Love Hunters be quiet or loud or fast or slow? What should its theme be? And ending song? (You know, maybe I can compose something, perhaps the basic melody on the piano.) Hope also to see Kingdom Hearts characters in Love Hunters! *grin*

Oh, yeah, and Karura-onee: the questions are basically to decide how you level up. Choosing the top answers will make you level up faster and go faster; the bottom ones will make you progress more slowly. I guess the middle ones are inbetween. So I guess you're more of the moderate on that level!
I really should archive soon....

Monday, October 7, 2002 at 07:17 p.m. --
Karura-onee? Actually Dad didn't stop playing Jax & Daxter - he finished it. *grin* I haven't finished FFX yet, sorry....I'm in the final boss places and stuff, but only through a couple of the final bosses....
Also, one note: this Friday, some meanies were mean and said some icky stuff to me just because they were dirty cowards because there was a substitute that day. I was angry and upset for some of Friday, but I got to play some K.H. on Saturday and Sunday. And I told on them today. *sinister grin* The teacher had a pleasantly non-specific talk with the class today, so I'll bet not many people guessed I had gone before class before changing in the locker room to the teacher.
Okay, on to the slightly weird stuff. Did you know I'm so obsessed with Kingdom Hearts that I've been consciously writing variables in the order "KINGDOM" and "HEARTS"? I've been doing that for a long while, ever since the weeks before it came out.
And I've been having dreams this weekend. Last Saturday morning I had some dream about a detailed animated gif that I apparently made which had a bunch of moving people that went away or something on a road with grass way to the side. Then I dreamed someone from that who was a kid here but was an adult in the gif (I'm not sure about that) got sucked from space into a vortex or space tunnel. Then it cuts (or I forgot what was between that) to a scene of Sora meeting a Kairi that I got the feeling was an illusion. Sora was actually suspicious of this, and was trying to question her dubiously, but instead of getting it out completely he fell, and then he took off a band aid off of his face (around his cheek or so) and while he was taking it off it was in first person view, and Kairi laughed.
Weird? Then try the one on last Sunday morning: I remember I was in a rectangular portable kind of classroom that I didn't recognize, and kids that teased me that I recognized from my classes were teasing me, and making fun of me (I forget those details). I don't remember much of a teacher, and if there was one he/she (most likely a he) didn't do much. At the end, all the kids were shouting or roaring at me (mocking me or something) and I got furious or upset and I took a big breath and roared back, roaring myself awake. Yeah, you heard that right. My dad heard me. "Roarrrrr". So it was during the yell or taking the breath that I "roared" myself awake. Weird?
I seem to remember a lot from my dreams, no? Well, try this one out for size that I wrote down one Sunday morning (9/29/02) [Look below the == lines if you want to skip it]:
============================
It was daytime, I was at the Miller tanbark area of my school when I saw a guy coming (who looked like a stereotypical homeless person with raggedy cloak and scarf and droopy cap) and I thought Ahh! It was the Yosemite killer, and he was holding a gun! (since I didn't know his name at that time, I didn't think of him as Stayner). I saw that he had taken a bunch of kids as hostage or something, and I think I was with them. I saw walls (which actually weren't there in the real Miller tanbark area) and after a moment I rushed behind one, hoping he didn't see me. I remember Natalia, one of my friends at school, kind of wishing me good luck or something like that amongst the other kids. He noticed of course, and he was walking over, with his gun in hand. He said something about torture being worse than getting pregnant or something like that, and I was scared, and then I tried to run between more walls, with my back to the wall and behind it facing the killer each time so I wouldn't get shot. After a bit of that, I ran for the fence door leading to the tennis courts, zigagging as I went so it would be harder for him to shoot at me. I didn't look back, so I didn't have an idea of whether he was actually chasing me or not, but I didn't think about that at that time, since there was a teacher nearby and I shouted to him about the killer and to call 911. I went through or was in front of the fence door when I was suddenly in the blacktop of my previous school, Faria. I didn't seem to think it was strange, because I went around to all other different teachers shouting the warning and to call 911. Most of the teachers seemed to not believe me (and yet they weren't telling me off).
Then, I remember being at this place where I couldn't recognize it as an actual place (though it had mountains on the horizon and there was a lake that extended here to the cement road I was on). It's still daytime. I was looking at the water fountain, the one that you press a button on the side and drink from, like the ones at my school, and I saw a drawing of some coins in there (they were about three times the size that actual ones are), and I think a nickel was one of them. I think there were three, and then I remember going to this one wall to my left, still facing the lake scene, and I remember getting the idea that some people didn't believe that Stayner had done it and were accusing some girl (about young teenage age, and looking oriental with black hair) instead, and for some reason I think the coins kind of helped to fuel that rumor.
Then I seemed to appear at this one building that seemed to me to be a school with two or so walkways on the walls with guardrails, and there was a big, entire wall-covering window on one side (and judging from that, it was still daylight). I think I then remember going to another room then looking identical to that one, and there was a crowd of people in different levels (I think this was to help that girl from being framed or something). I remember some coachy looking guy was calling up different kids with dogs and was looking at how much they weighed? Or their names? Or something like that.
I remember then afterward I was back at the Miller bars area at the beginning and there was the airplane that Stayner had apparently arrived on (this seemed to be a history narrative rather than real-time, since there was a narrator-type person voicing in there). I was still looking in the same direction as the first time, which was toward the houses that are nearby Miller in the field and superlap track area. I remember that I saw that there were four people or so hanging on to different parts of the airplane (all in the middle or back, not in the front) with their teeth (and I remember thinking that it was because that the killer made them do that?). I remember something about the narrator guy saying that those people couldn't hold on because of the speed that they were going and they came off (and it might've been without their teeth, I'm not sure, and I'm not sure if they died or not, but I didn't seem to dwell on it). Then I saw that this one farmer guy had held on, and I remember the narrator guy saying it was because he was holding on to the water tank in the back of the plane (why there's a water tank in the back of the plane I don't know, but I didn't doubt it during the dream). The narrator (it was a lowish type of voice, so I guess it was a he) talked about some scientific reason why he'd survived from the water tank being different than some other parts of the airplane, blah blah. I then remember that the plane or train (it might've become a train, but I'm not sure) and then I ducked behind the wall I remember hiding behind before, and I was saying something about it not getting me (or thinking) and for some reason Julia had appeared beside me (she wasn't behind the wall, but kind of next to it on the right of where I was on the same side as I was).
Then I remember something about someone (it was likely the framed girl) saying a revelation that some boys had been the cause of her framing (it was said in an exclamation point kind of way, if you know what I mean). There was a wallet-sized moving picture over a kind of lightened picture of the United States (it wasn't prominent, and it was moving around kind of the Michigan, N&S Dakota and Missori area, with maybe some of Canada, since it didn't show the whole US), and then it cut back (still at the same angle as it was in the video wallet picture) to the two boys, one that was shorter (who I think was holding a suitcase or something like that) and one that was taller (I can't remember the taller one so much, but I think he had either black or brown hair, and both of them weren't black, and they had lightish skin and the shorter boy had brown hair). I think they were running down the highest walkway (the one I was on before was the same level as well, and they might've been running down the same one) and I remembered that out of some panic or just because, the short one jumped down in one rectange shaped space between the walkways (it was between rooms on the side of the wall that didn't have a window, and it had guardrailed walkways surrounding it and at the bottom after a couple of levels was a tiled floor, kind of more the type you'd see at a garden or something like that. I remember that the taller one jumped too, and although it was from a high distance, they didn't get killed, but it was more like falling from just a couple of feet, and it only seemed to hurt a little bit (I didn't actually feel anything, and I didn't seem to feel anything, but I got the feeling from what they did and how they got up that it was just a small impact), and I remember thinking while they were getting up quickly and running toward another room (the same direction I think I had gone to see that room with the kids and dogs, except I had gone I think the window-wall way, and I don't think it looked the same as the one with the square guardrails, but it might have been) that how could they have survived that fall (but I was just ask-thinking this in a casual manner, not shocked or appalled or scared or anything, just curious). That's all I remember, and I think I woke up after this, if not soon after. Some of the events where it changes paragraphs might be in a different order, but this seems to be the one that made most sense to me (not logically, really, but more like felt).
============================
Yes, that was a lot. A whole lot. And hopefully that was a very good demonstration of how much I can really remember out of my dreams. No, I don't believe I made most of it up. Oh, and I remember one right now some time ago which I was running toward a beach at nighttime with maybe a shack or dock toward my left and I was running excitedly toward the water shouting "Yukimomo!" (Yukimomo happens to be the name of a pink mouse stuffed animal we have.) There's a bunch more that I still remember, but I think I'll mention those some other time if I feel like it.
That's about it for now.

Oh oh! Karura-onee, what did you choose for those questions they ask you in the beginning? If you can't remember them they were something like this:
(if you don't want a spoiler, don't look between the lines)
------------------------------------------------------
Which was your power?
a) warrior (sword)
b) mystic (wand)
c) guardian (shield)
Mine was Shield, and Dad's was Sword.

Which did you give up?
a) warrior (sword)
b) mystic (wand)
c) guardian (shield)
Mine was sword, and Dad's was Shield.

What are you most afraid of? (Tidus)
a) Getting old
b) Being different
c) Being indecisive
I did getting old, and so did Dad.

What is most important to you? (Selphie)
a) Being number one
b) Friendship
c) My prized possessions
I picked possessions, and Dad did the top one.

What do you want out of life? (Wakka)
a) To see rare sights
b) To broaden my horizons
c) To be strong
I picked rare sights, and so did Dad (he picked all the top ones which are supposed to make you level up faster and progress quicker).
------------------------------------------------------
Could you remember what you picked for those? If you don't, that's okay, but I hope you can remember some of them, like the first most important one! *grin* I'm guessing you picked the mystic and gave up sword; did I guess right?
Anyhow, I'm in a better mood today. *grin* Dad's getting farther on in Kingdom Hearts than I am, since he gets to play it on the weekdays....*grimace*
And yes, I do know Karlene Richardson...she was in my Japanese class last year. Even though she's not in any of my other classes this year, one of the boys she was with a lot last year is in my class this year as well. I think she does still take Japanese, but at a different time. I would have never guessed she was Kenji's cousin! (Although it does make a little sense, since Kenji is mixed including Japanese, right? I remember her telling me she was Japanese on her mother's side.)
And I'm glad you like the LH songs! I wonder if I should try composing a theme song...but the tunes I create just aren't memorable enough or catchy. Oh, and another Yukiko one besides the Danny Boy plinky guitar version (I don't know whether it's a mandolin or whatever, but it's very plinkily *sweatdrop*) and that was the last one on the Emerald Isle CD, track 10 "Amanda's Wedding". If that sounds good to you you might not even need to hear the other one, since that one didn't seem to match Yukiko really well, and it has the same music as Hikari's. I also got Crimson's song on mp3, but I didn't get to upload it yet. When I do, I'll post it. (Actually, it's a fiddle song, and it doesn't match Crimson as well as the Enju one did him. But maybe it's better than it seems, since I'm comparing it with the excellent Enju one. ^-^) Actually Kenichi's one, although a little bland in that it never really changes throughout the song, seems to match his personality. *grin* Aurine's is really the tough, cool girl one, so it might be kind of her battle theme as well. And Elena's is on Emerald Isle, second-to-last, remember? There was another one that was on the CD I have, but it's more sad, and it's more a violin-sad-songy like. The one on there called "Spike Island Lasses" is a bit more happy, poppish (do you know what I mean?).

Yes, yes, just so you know, I did play Kingdom Hearts a lot over the weekend and I liked it...but today...
Anyway, today was not good. I did really bad on a quiz (barely half) that was on notes you took from a video in Social Studies. I was in shambles. Drama wasn't nearly as fun, and I think I got someone angry from me looking so upset, but they got an explanation from the teacher saying I had "flunked a test" >_< since I had told her why I was so 'glum and blah' (quote from Wayside School gets a Little Stranger). Then, at the end of the day at the PE lockers, I found a penny. It was out of the way in a corner and I'll bet no one else but me and a very observant person could have noticed it (I have this uncanny talent for finding coins and other little things on the ground that would otherwise go unnoticed). It had my birthyear on it. I carried it out for good luck hoping I wouldn't get totaled or anything, and it seemed to be okay, but when I held it up with my fingers, it didn't seem to go well. Then, when I remembered that during PE today (which is the last class of the day), when I was looking at the palm of my hand with the fingers toward me, or straight on, there were more lines, which I was told was something like having a rough time. But when I looked at it from my palm, most of them disappeared. Remembering this, I put the penny in my palm. And things went much better. (This was all in the car) Now I wonder that I should hold lucky things in my palm, not up in my fingers, from now on. *grin* <--- A grin today? Consider this amazing.
Well, I guess that's about it for now. Hopefully Kingdom Hearts will cheer me up. (And one of the things I was worried about was that I wouldn't be able to play it because of the quiz! And there wasn't anything like that mentioned! *grin*) Kingdom Hearts! Kingdom Hearts! Kingdom Hearts.......
05:23 p.m.: Oh, and Karura-onee, "Elena's Theme" is on Emerald Isle on the second-to-last track, "Spike Island Lasses", and if you don't like that one, and want a sadder one, there's another one more sad called "The Wraggle, Taggle Gypsies", and tell me if you want to hear that one. I found one on Emerald Isle called "Yellow Lily" on track 5 for Devyn's sad song, and maybe we can have "Devyn's Theme" and then "Devyn's Elegy" or "Devyn's Requiem", or just plain "Devyn's Other Theme" (that sounds funnish, though). Also, should I look for another Hikari Theme? Or make the one I have right now "Hikari's Sonnet" and find another to be Hikari's actual theme?

Holy crap!! Karura-onee, I've downloaded the "Special Secret" trailer of Kingdom Hearts II off of Kazaa!! Since it's about 9 megs, I think it will be okay to upload to the account (we have room, right?) and share the joy! Don't worry, I watched it with dad, and it didn't seem to give too much spoilers about the end of Kingdom Hearts one or anything. That dark figure looks a lot like Riku, though...*grin*
I'll add the link when I finish uploading it.
10:29 p.m.: I've finished uploading it. Wow. *grin* Don't you feel lucky? Haha. Here's the link: Special Secret: Kingdom Hearts II. I downloaded it from Kazaa, so I didn't encode it. But don't steal the bandwidth. That applies to other downloads off of this weblog (and onee-chan's, for that matter).

Hello, it's me again. Sigh...still one more day before I can play Kingdom Hearts to the fullest, and THEN there might be other 'homeworks' to take care of...blah...but that's why I'm getting all of my homework done ahead of time. *crosses arms proudly*
Oh, and Karura-onee? I've uploaded another theme character song for LH. It's Devyn's Theme, here. Long name, huh? Well, since it was so long, I had to clip it to make room for the note about whose theme it was. *grin* This one is a bit more formalish, but kind of has a taste like Kev's, right? Since they were friends...yeah. (Don't want to give out too many spoilers! Hopefully I didn't give out too many already.) Which one do you want me to put up next? I still have up Enju's. Kenichi's? Ren's? Aurine's? Yukiko's? Crimson's? And you listened to Elena's, right? Was it fairly appropiate? (Especially for Yukiko's and Crimson's, I was just trying to find one out of the batch that matched them the best, not necessarily a lot.)
Oh! And if you don't have a lot to do over the weekend (bored, or so) then maybe you can do some Love Hunters stuff! (Ha, just like me, trying to use an opportunity like that.) Just in case you feel up to it and stuff! Oh, and I think you possibly have the Kingdom Hearts clips we downloaded on your computer, Watari...that's where they were, and so maybe you can watch those until you get the memory card...and even though we haven't gotten to a place where we can save yet (we play little itsie bits at night when I have all my stuff done), I have a lot of fun seeing the intros and stuff! *grin*
Me's hoping things will turn out good...in a lot of senses...(I know that was bad grammar, but that's how it feels)

Ohoh! Hey, Karura-onee, I've put up Enju's Theme (a.k.a. "Cooley") onto my account. You can download it here. (When you listen to it, turn it down a bit so that it's not really loud. It sounds better matching Enju slightly lower in volume.) Hopefully it works; I'll double-check it. And I put my info on it and stuff just in case other people download it and don't know who the heck I am. *sticks out tongue to leechers*
In other news, I think that KH might come TODAY! Not tomorrow, but Mom said Dad called up and said it would arrive TODAY! That's a big difference when it comes to Kingdom Hearts. *grin*
Oh, yeah, and I'll change my imood if I can; it's changed since I found that out. *grin* And I added all of the line breaks I forgot last time.
Well, I'll add more today if I can. 'Bye for now.
P.S. Karura-onee, the owl cosplaying as 003 (nice way to put it, ne? *grin*) is adorable!!! *broad grin*

Hey, Karura-onee! (By the way, everyone, onee is older sister, and imouto is little sister.) How do you rip the songs? I tried to with Winamp and RealJukebox and it didn't really work....do you know of any good programs to get, or how to do it otherwise? Plus, you put "Monorail of Though" on the links and forgot the "t" at the end. *grin*
Oh, and Elena's Theme should be on Emerald Isle as well...it's the second-to-last track.
Anyhow...I changed my mood again (wanted to catch up with all the absence in the account before!) to anxious, and I think the thing that I'm anxious is about Kingdom Hearts. Hopefully, we'll get it this Tuesday. And then the rest of the week to actually play it...(unless I get really productive and get done anything that could be in my way, and then get to see the intro or so during the week...*grin*)
In the meanwhile, I'm listening to different Kingdom Hearts tunes to satisfy me. *grin* So, Onee-chan, I guess we won't get it much sooner than you will!
I really like the logo I created on the top, not only because it's Kingdom Hearts and it's Sora (he's voice-acted by Haley Joel Osment, one of the best child actors I've seen so far), but it is kind of a pensive and thoughtful picture, and when I look at it with my current mood, I can see him like that mood, whatever that might be. *grin*
Well, that's about all I can think of for now. (I guess this monorail is currently very one-directional!)

Hello. I changed moods two times since my entry so far, first to uncertain with a gray face, and then now with a wishful with a pink angeliccy (<- might not be a word) face. Guess what they were about. Heheh. (Kingdom Hearts, fool! *whacks self for calling the reader a fool*) Anyhow...you can read the blurb thing on the imood page by clicking it to see what it's about.
And oh, Karura-onee, I have a couple of interesting tidbits for our manga. First, the number 42 has a binary number of 101010. Interesting? Oh, and I found a kind of theme background song for each of the major (and some minor) characters on the Lifescapes CDs we have. So, I guess anyone else reading it gets a sneak peak at our manga by seeing the names of a bunch of the characters. Bleh, oh well. The number at the end says how much I think they match out of 5.
- Kenichi's Theme ("Gusty Frolics") 4
- Hikari's Theme ("The Rose of Tralee/Danny Boy" piano) 4.5
- Ren's Theme ("Catch the Moments as They Fly") 4
- Aurine's Theme ("The Druid of Lonesome Isle") 4
- Kevralen's Theme ("The Jolly Beggar") 4
- Crimson's Theme ("Toss the Feathers") 3.5
- Devyn's Theme ("The Glen Road to Carrick") 4
- Yukiko's Theme ("Danny Boy" high-pitched guitarish) 3.5
- Sarandrielle's Theme ("She Wove a Cloak of Many Yarns") 4
- Elena's Theme ("Spike Island Lasses") 4
- Arryn's Theme ("The Emerald Isle") 3.8
- Enju's Theme ("Cooley") 5 ^_^
Oh, and Aurine & Sarandrielle had two other ones; Aurine had another one, more softer but close, "Isabella", Elena had a more melancholy one called "The Wraggle, Taggle Gypsies" that was good, and Sarandrielle also matched "The Widow of Loch Lemond" but it was too loud at times for her, so it might not have been as good, but they were close, and you might like those better for the characters when you hear them.
I must have had a lot of time to do all that, huh? Yeah, I just wrote them down all on an index card. I'm serious. Oh, and one called "Kincora" seemed good for the unicorn lady. I also thought that maybe her name could be Lydia, or Quelya, or so. (I thought of others, but they all seemed kind of wackish.) And the dragon could be one of these: Trifter, Flifter, Fliftre (see a pattern?) or something we can think of later.
I guess that's a lot for now, so I can put anything else for today on a separate post. 'Bye for now.

Hello. It's the first time putting in an entry, so I'm still trying to see if it'll actually turn out right. Oh well. *grin*
Well, then, today? Kingdom Hearts is released! Dad and I should be getting it about three days from now -- just in time for the weekend!! *hops around* Hoohoohoo, I can't wait...Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts...! *really really wide grin*
So, you can guess why I have a KH layout (which I hastily put together, I admit). Unfortunately, Dad couldn't find it at Target or anything, so I guess I'll have to wait that long, more or less. But I've waited a year (or something like that) and I can wait a couple more days. Especially for the weekend! *grin grin* First time I did a double grin like that...
Well, I suppose I might as well stop for today. I can do more when I'm more experienced and more time, etc. Okay, that's about it. Bye-bye for now!

My main website:
This is my main website, where you'll see some stuff by me, along with the videos I've been able to upload, the staff photos I do, and the Fanworks section.

Onee-chan's Weblog:
Inner Quiet (outer turmoil)

Point at buttons to see the descriptions. If they have no button, I'll make a simple one myself here with their site name.
I'll fill this with more links and maybe layout info and other stuff when I have time...

Downloads
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.

Enju's Theme
This is the theme of one of the characters in Karura-onee's and me's manga. The actual music is from a Lifescapes CD (most of the info is on the song) and the original title was [Cooley]. Since I encoded this, it would be a good idea for you to contact me if you're going to put it up (and everyone won't know who the characters are anyway). This is an MP3.

Devyn's Theme
This is the theme of another one of the characters in Karura-onee's and me's manga. The actual music is from a Lifescapes CD (most of the info is on the song) and the original title was [The Glen Road to Carrick/The Boys of Lough/The Dublin Lasses] (I prefer the first one). Since I encoded this, it would be a good idea for you to contact me if you're going to put it up (and everyone won't know who the characters are anyway). This is an MP3.

Kingdom Hearts Special Secret
This is the Special Secret of Kingdom Hearts that appears to be a preview trailer of Kingdom Hearts II. It's a CG animation that I downloaded off of Kazaa, so no, I didn't encode this one. It doesn't appear to give out too many spoilers about Kingdom Hearts or its ending at least, so it should be okay to watch without worrying about spoilers.

Crimson's Theme
This is the theme of another one of the characters in Karura-onee's and me's manga. The actual music is from a Lifescapes CD (most of the info is on the song) and the original title was [Toss the Feathers/Johnny in the Fog/The Temple House] (I prefer the first one). Since I encoded this, it would be a good idea for you to contact me if you're going to put it up (and everyone won't know who the characters are anyway). This is an MP3.

Kenichi's Theme
This is the theme of another one of the characters in Karura-onee's and me's manga. The actual music is from a Lifescapes CD (most of the info is on the song) and the original title was [Gusty Frolics]. Since I encoded this, it would be a good idea for you to contact me if you're going to put it up (and everyone won't know who the characters are anyway). This is an MP3.
