ABOUT THIS LAYOUT

Subaru and Seishirou, from Tokyo Babylon. This is another one of those artbook things, which means it doesn't actually apply to canon; but it's SO very pretty. ^_^ Also, if you look at their expressions, you can tell a few things; Subaru looks quite content. Seishirou... well.

Predator/prey, anyone?

Hee hee. The questions on this quiz are absolutely terrific (thanks, Marsh.)
You're%20the%20Real%20Seishirou%20in%20Tokyo%20Babylon.%20%20This%20is%20you%20without%20the%20genki%20veterinarian%20mask.%20%20In%20reality%2C%20you're%20really%20scary%20and%20extrememly%20possessive%20of%20your%20Subaru-kun.%20%20Following%20anime%20b
Which Seishirou are You?

brought to you by Quizilla

You're the Real Seishirou in Tokyo Babylon. This is you without the genki veterinarian mask. In reality, you're really scary and extrememly possessive of your Subaru-kun. Following anime bishounen rules, you are as sexy as you are evil. You kill Hokuto and you scar Subaru for life. Go you. You're a possessive bastard and we love you.

What's YOUR Writing Style?

brought to you by Quizilla

You are a dark writer. A fierce and loyal follower of Poe and the other gothic authors, you LOVE to instill a sense of revulsion and somewhat fear in your readers. You love to poke their brains with logic dealing with the darker side of the human mind and character. Truly surprising and a true individual, you'll do ANYTHING to create a scene. :)

And I'm glad I can share it with you for now, Gwen - more will be forthcoming soon. ^_^ And you. Will. Be. Allright. *hugs*

Oops, sorry, folks - the password protect thing is now removed from here. Thanks for letting me know, Rae! ^_^

And I didn't poke you, Dave, because you actually blogged recently. ~_^ After all, you actually updated your journal recently (the 8th, last I checked). BTW - did you notice you've been added to my ever-growing blog list down there? It feels pretty good to add someone else I know in real life. Quite satisfying.

Anyway, at work, so I can't say any more now - talk later!

Thanks, everyone, for all your support. ^^;; I really miss the puppy, but I'm doing okay - Fruits Basket and prayer and Isa in large doses are all helping.

Anoooo.... @_@ *poke* You okay there, sis? 0.0

*pokes her and her while she's at it*

Yep, Manzai - it DOES suck. *swats companies* Oh, and happy Hannukah yourself. ^_^

Oh, and a quick note - I'm taking down the X Character Files shortly; I'll put them back up on request, of course, but... feh. I need the space. ^_^

Anyway, spready the word - you know anyone who wants them, now's the time, folks. ^_^

Ooooh, and THANKS SO MUCH for the comments, Ruby - it thrills me to know that yet another person read this thing. I really appreciate what you said - and I am SO using that pic of yours with Bob the Toaster SOMEplace. It's too freaking cute not to. ^____^

And (end of social blogging for now, I promise) thanks for the support, Leareth and Gwen and Takira (as well as Isa and Manzai, of course) for the ficness helpings - it's good to know I'm not completely entering the Abyss of the Unrelated. ~_^ And things WILL look up for you eventually, Gwen... *hugs* try to remember where your hope is placed, and be GLAD it's not in anyone human. ^^;

*pokes Vega too, just... because* ^_^

...wah.

Inuki's gone to live with someone else. ;_; She has a GOOD home - they're people who are absolutely sweet and we see often, and they even promise to let me see her every thursday. but....but....

I cried last night. I think I'm gonna do it again. I hate being a girl. *weak smile*

And, er - well, she has worms. *ahem* Which we kind of expected - but... oi. This poor thing.

I do hope she doesn't turn out to be one of those REALLY hyper dogs once she's been fixed up....

EEEEEK!!!

My folks came home tonight with a stray dog. They were driving back from some meeting, and they saw this poor little black doggie running loose in the road. BUSY road. And it was getting to be night.

Concerned, they pulled over and caught up with her. The doggie was sniffing at this VERY upset girl on a bike, who told us that she'd seen a van drive by and the occupants THREW the dog into the street, driving off without looking back.

Well... you know Proverbs 12:10 says the righteous are kind to animals - so of course, my parents brougt the puppy home.

She is SO freaking sweet. She crawled right into my lap and went to sleep already. If you're curious, here's a picture of Scotty (the white one) and... well. *I* want to call her Inuki, but who knows if that'll work. ~_^

Wow. I wonder if we're going to keep her. I rather hope we do - she and Scotty are getting along rather well, all things considered.

Hm. You know, I love my mother, but every once in a while she does something that makes me wonder a little. Her newest thing: I, personally, can live on $5,000 dollars a year and put the rest away into savings.

Now, mind, you I showed her that this can't work out; I actually brought out my bills and SHOWED her, with a calculator, that when all my bills come at once (which thank God they don't all the time, but more often than I like), once they're all paid, I have a grand total of $50 dollars left over. Now, this is including phone bill, car insurance, computer, gas. This is not including gifts to the church, food, etc.

She didn't believe me. Instead, I was lectured for a long time on how I spend too much (even when I showed her my bank statement - which demonstrates that I do NOT spend that much) and how I can most certainly live on $5,000 a year, regardless of the fact that my bills cost... er... more than that.

Sigh. Whatever decade she thinks she's living in, it must have been nice.

Which Ultimate Beautiful Woman are You?

Just because. ^_^

And woo, I haven't posted in a while, I know - have been INSANELY busy. Bleh.

Erm... good news -

They've upped my bandwidth to TWELVE gigs instead of six. I told you I love Worldzone ^____^.

...I can't think of another blessed thing to say... *brain leaking out ear*

Heya.

I live.

Choir performs this Sunday - have two MORE rehearsals, on top of the ones already done this week.

Am tired. Going to bed. Oh, but one more thing - see, this is one of the reasons I love Isa so much:

Isa: Do you ever get the feeling that your brother's severed head is laughing at you silently from behind the Geigerian hydroponic monstrosity you've sealed him in?

Isa: Me neither.

Isa: ::points at Muraki::: But apparenntly he does.

Isa: This is what we call a "weirdo," kids. Can we all say weir-do? Weeeeeeeeiiiiiir-do.

What more can you say to that? ^_^ And on that lovely (and morbid, but when have I ever minded morbid?) note, I am off to bed. W00t.

(NOTE - Julie, if you're reading this - what time are you home? Give me an approximate. I have to SCHEDULE phone calls these days, it's pathetic... >_<)

Hey guys, just to let you know, TONIGHT is the cutoff date for the X Character Files for this month. I'm keeping an eye on my bandwidth, and it's gone fairly high. Fear not - I'll put the X Character Files back up NEXT month - but for right now, after tonight, I'll have to temporarily take them down. Gomen. >_<

Just wanted you to know. ^_^

(edit: Erk - I mistyped the url. Doesn't THAT figure - it should work now. ^_^)

Heya. I'm alive, just so you know. The couple who was staying in our house for the last couple of weeks because they HAD no place else has finally moved out, and woooooo am I tired.

I could say more, but I'm so bushed. I think I'll be mean and just go away now. ^_^

P. S. Download Tokyo Babylon. It's good. Okay, it's also 1989. But it's SO good... wah.

Cute. Sekushi. Angsty. What more can a girl want? ~_^

Okay. I'm not putting up any more weird auctions. Although I have to say, if you have a strong stomach, it's worth scrolling down and clicking on those links.

ANYWAY. In real life. Ummm... class tonight, which is interesting; I can bring my comp, which is VERY good, because my muse has been asking to be let out of its cage lately. I probably shouldn't put it in a cage, but it gets so NOISY, and I have work to do... ;_;

Bleh. Bleh on all of it, I say.

My sympathies go out to Leareth, , K, Pisces, and - okay.

I'm stopping there, because I just realized that MOST of my friends are in school right now (and my heart goes out to ALL of you, because it's really rough this time of year). @_@ And... no offense, but I don't feel like re-typing my entire link list. ~_^ Not to mention that some folks like Dave aren't even IN the list....

You need a blog, boy. *cackle of DOOM*

*eyes this entry* I think I need to stop now. Going away.

Allo. ^_^ All is going well here today - happens to be my dad's birthday, too, of which I'm honestly jealous. I mean, really - he gets to have Friday the 13th as his birthday sometimes, do you KNOW how cool that is?

And on the heels of that, do you KNOW what a freak I am? Muaha. Ha.

Heh heh - of course Julie noticed that the links go backwards on mouseover with this blog. ^____^ It's not something I'd ever put on any of my "professional" sites (oi, I can just see the confused whiny emails now @_@), but it was such a neat script that I had to play with it. Ooh, and did you notice that it ALSO goes blurry on mouseover? THAT wasn't as easy. *cackle*

To continue answering comments from earlier, happy coming birthday, Alex! ^_^ Heh heh. And check your mailbox. Muaha.

Why, yes I WAS born on that day, Merka. I always get parades for my birthday, har-de-har-har. ~_^

I am NOT old, Dave. I'm... like fine wine...

...SOMEbody had to say it. :p Oh, and how's your friend (still talking to Dave ~_^)? Is he any better?

Oh, and RE the ants: it turns out they're a Southern California variety, and while I don't know the scientific name, they're commonly called "grease ants." Apparently, they don't LIKE sugar; they only like things with grease.

And just to avoid unnecessary gross-out, there isn't grease like that in my computer; the ants were just there because they were all over that side of the house. @_@ I moved my computer elsewhere, and they went away. *whew* Although I still think the mice win.

K, you're a sweety! Thanks for that gift - I really appreciate it. ^_^ And I know it's late, but congrats on your promotion! GO you! God rocks. If that's not too irreligious. ^^;

Bwah, must get back to work. More later. ^_^

Why yes, I DID change my blog again - I'm such a freak. ^_^ (Saa, they never should have let me near that TB artbook...)

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes - it's really quite kind of you. Makes one feel loved, if you know what I mean. ^_^

Been busy as all heck lately - nothing like having four professional design sites to be working on at once, plus the whole... music dealy. @_@ Speaking of music - eh, never mind. I'll answer those "comments" tomorrow. ^_^

Right now, however, I think I REALLY should go to bed - it's after midnight, you know, and I have a silly little nagging headache.

Er... aaaaand more ficness coming soon?

Yatta. ^_^
