Originally published at Memoirs of a Nobody. You can comment here or there. Stolen from Icka beause it looked intresting:
Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics and try to find a pattern.
1. It had been seven long years, since Kaitou Kid had perished in the explosion that had occurred the same night Kuroba Rose was born.
2. This is far too easy…
3. The screaming continued endlessly, or at least that’s what it felt like to Saguru who came running back into the room, staring at his lover who was laying in bed, clutching his head tightly.
4. He skated slowly backwards, turning in a graceful spiral as he focused on the ice in front of him, unseeing.
5. Saguru stared at the form before him, blinking for a moment. He opened his mouth to comment and closed it again, startlingly unable to form words at the moment.
6. Twilight. Shadow. Darkness. (it makes more sense if I took the fist three lines!)
7. You’re home, I can’t believe you’re really here.
8. But maybe…maybe someone does, watch that is.
9. “Toichi, man you have got to try this, it’s incredible!”
10. “Sora! So-ra!”
11. Names…a word given to someone so that you knew what to call them, to give them an identity…to classify them.
12. If one were to stay up late enough on the night of a Kaitou Kid heist, one would see a most amazing sight, of the Phantom thief himself walking, well, perhaps a better phrase would be sashaying or cavorting across the top of the fence (and no, we won’t question how one ’sashays’ across a fence) that outline the Kuroba residence. (Period? I know not of what you speak of…)
13. “There he is,” Nakamori yelled, pointing to the spotlighted thief on the building across the street.
14. “Why do you do it?”
15. “Ughfa.” Kaito groaned and rolled over, pulling the blankets over his head, blocking out the sight of his mother.
16. It had been a shock, the moment he first heard the accented English from over his head. Raising his eyes, a feeling a dread in his heart, he stared up at Hakuba’s rich, golden hazel gaze and suddenly wished he was outside and back in Ekoda.
17. He pushed deeper into the body beneath his, groaning softly, the soft gasps the man made thrilling him, causing his blood to sing.
18. “This shouldn’t keep happening, it’s not fair to Kid,” the teen said, staring at the bloody murder scene, watching as the criminal was lead out in cuffs by Nakamori and the Osaka police.
19. Kaito smiled, watching his son patiently and carefully letter his list to Santa, the boy taking great care to make sure each character was perfect before moving onto the next.
20. He had been waiting nine months for this moment, preparing, planning, anticipating every second.
21. “Ladies and Gentlemen!”
22. “Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have immortal longings in me.”
23. It had been a beautiful night.
24. To say that Hakuba was surprised was the understatement of any worded stretch of years.
25. “You know you’re narcissistic, when your name is your screen saver,” Atemu muttered, staring at the three giant computer screens casting a blue glow on Seto’s face.
Conclusions:
A. I REALLY need to stop abusing the DCMK fandom (only four of those stories were not DCMK related).
B. I tend to jump right into the action with very little lead up…I wonder if my readers always feel as if they’re playing catch up…
C. I abuse comma’s.

Crisis averted from my last post, though I had to do a system restore. At least I didn't lose anything important. Scanning every couple of days though to make sure I don't get a repeat issue.
Not much else going on, have three tests like I said before, one in Soils and then Japanese tests the other two school days. I think after that I'll go and catch up on watching and all.

| ~ Anime Watching ~ Kannagi, Chaos Head, etc. |
[12 Oct 2008|12:09pm] |
** Kannagi - LOL to magical girl stick stuck on the table xD ROFL to magical girl battles in the forest xD I will never get tired of Nagi and her magical girl crack xD And wait . . . . KITTIES!!! cute but . . baaawww ;_; Rest in peace in the goddess' body. ;_; She heard your cries and tried her best to save you . . . unfortunate things happened however . . .so sad ;_; Anywayz, oh I love my goddess' cuteness and crack side! Her acting reminded me so much of Rukia of Bleach xD Haha! She's just girlier than Rukia on their real personalities xD Heehee. And oh I love the Jin x Nagi fights xD They are so cute and entertaining xD And I like it that Nagi sometimes get hit too. Having the woman too powerful in couple fights can be annoying at times (like in Zero no Tsukaima -_-) but they could also be fun vice versa (like in Nodame Cantabile) so mutual power can be really nice xD. Anywayz, those Jin x Nagi moments at the end of the episode are so freakin' sweet xD I loooove them so much =3 As for Tsugumi, I don't hate her . . . but I don't like her much either ^^; She's just in so-so level ^^; Back to Nagi, OH SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL! xD Especially there! *points at screencap above* I think Nagi will be in school next episode, oh things are gonna be fun xD ** Kuroshitsuji - I am glad they skipped chapter 2, because the character that made her debut there was the reason why I put the manga on hold. Anywayz, I love it that this arc has been animated xD Sebastian fighting with tableware awes and amuses me at the same time xD ** Shikabane Hime - OP's pretty good ^_^ This episode has a more interesting villain than the previous. I like it when Ouri gets more screentime xD Oh I wanna know what makes him more special even though he has no extraordinary abilities (aside from being able to talk to a mysterious kitty) * Chaos; Head - I thought, from spoilers, that it was crap, but when I get to watch it . . . I got more than what I expected it to be in the first place *_* Leading males that fantasize over imaginary women suck, yes, but he's got delusions and he tries his best not to be fooled that easily. Then we have the mystery of some person in the internet showing him murder scenes. And he meets a bloody killer girl that apparently knows who he is. Most surprising for me was the beginning of the episode, wherein they're the only ones left in the world and they seem like lovers already but the girl prepares to kill him. SO TWISTED AND INTERESTING! I'm loving this =3 * Yozakura Quartet - it has been interesting . . . but it didn't get me that addicted for some reason ^^; I don't like the girl who hates humans though, I wish she won't appear in the series ever again -_- Aside from her, characters here had been interesting. THe one that caught my interest the most is the Oni guy who hasn't shown any superpowers so far. But probably his true form is sealed or something, that's why he's like that. If that's the case . . . aaawww . . that's lame x_x . . . unless his real form is also a hott bishie xD Haha! * Bihada Ichizoku - oh dear . . . IT SUCKS! Its the worst directing and storytelling I've ever seen in modern anime x_x Animation style sucks loads as well. But I saw an official pic wherein the leading lady is now in some catgirl costume . . . STILL LAME! -_- Uuuugghh . . . . *facepalm* *# Kemeko Deluxe - it's hell more insane that I expected it to be! Just from the OP, you can tell it's so freakin' crazy! But though it's ridiculous, I love its silliness. This is the type of series that I'll enjoy without taking it seriously xD Yes, it's perverted, but many of its perverted jokes are really for humor, not mainly on satisfying the desires of green-minded people ^^ By the way, saw spoilers on episode 2. I think the leading guy's little sister is gonna annoy me -_- But I like the Zetsubou Sensei reference here xD # Tytania - OP scenes didn't excite me, but the ED did! *_* Oh I can sense some interesting love story from this xD KYAA! ED song is freakin' awesome. And though the screenshots seem dull, I think this is the type of series which I'll appreciate more if I watch it subbed, like with Himitsu and Persona. Oh I hope the subs will come soon *_* # To Aru Majutsu no Index - it seems like the red haired guy is one of your typical villains -_- That sucks. But I like the moment between the leading guy and Index (the part when he touched her face), that was just so sweet =3 And he carried her too, same style as the main duo of Kannagi xD Aaaww . . . and oh, looks lke sexy samurai chick's coming soon xD *curious* # Tales of the Abyss - from spoiler screenshots, I really don't think I'll appreciate the second episode. -_- The third episode, however, wull further annoy me with that little girl acting annoyingly hyper & loli and the digimon thing and Luke's loserness BUT interesting glasses guy has appeared, and the blonde girls seems kickass and cool, and GUY is back kicking ass with his swordsmanship of awesomeness xD Then the interesting kinda spiky black haired guy is in the preview! Oh I wish I can skip episode two *_* # Hyakko - Download still in progress but I'm pretty sure that the main thing I'll be enjoying here is the Torako + Tatsuki quarrels xD They remind me so much of Konata and Kagami =3 Heehee # Akasaka - episode 2 seems FAIL -_- And I think I'm gonna dislike the little sister even more -_- And oh I hope the love triangle here doesn't involve incest . . . that'll suck. No need to force a love triangle. It's fine as it is ^^ And I want more screentime of the white/silver haired dude xD Heehee. He makes the series fun xD Haha

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly like her less, Sarah Palin strikes again!
I got a rainbow darter yesterday. He is so freaking adorable. He's got these chubby little cheeks and these huge pectoral fins, and he cocks his head to look at things and gives the panda corys the stink eye whenever their little spawning orgies bump into him. I think I'm in love. <3
I couldn't get a great picture because my camera sucks and he's still skittish, but I tried:
( Behold the cute. )
And when he's in breeding mode, he'll look like this.
We had an adorable little Cavalier at work today named Maggie. She was a little shy, but very sweet.
Pretty soon it will be time to start adopting out some of my white cloud fry, since they're starting to look like little miniatures of their parents. Anyone around here want any?^^;;

| ~ Manga Reading ~ Bakuman, Kannagi, Kuroshitsuji, 07-Ghost, etc. |
[12 Oct 2008|11:33am] |
Bakuman - I'm loving this manga more as I read more chapters xD Shuujin never fails to entertain me xD Saiko and Miho moments were so freakin' cute and sweet xD And Saiko's so damn ROMANTIC! xD Oh he makes me squee xD His greatest happiness is seeing Miho smile . . . aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww xD And this scene cracked me up the most: Shuujin: You don't know even though you're on the same wavelength? Saiko: Being so close interferes with the signal LOL! Bwahahahahhaha xD So there's interference with their signal?! Wahahahahah xD And ooohh . . . the prodigy high school mangaka has made his appearance. o_O He's not my type, when we talk about looks, but his personality's pretty interesting xD So this is the rival of our beloved duo? xD Interesting. 07-Ghost - I am still confused on what the heck's really going on but I love seeing my beloved Mikhail again! =3 Oh he is so obedient to his master and loves Teito lots xD Poor Teito for being too kind so Mikhail wasn't able to protect him much ^^; Oh, Frau's awesome by the way. Hakuren is still love. I find it amusing that Labrador smelled like flowers xD But he's still cool xD And ooh, Castor making some moves and talking to Ayanami, interesting xD By the way, the 07-ghost manga now has an official site xD So cool! I wish this will get an anime soon *_* Kannagi - what many manga readers have been saying are right, the manga isn't as perverted as the anime at all! Jin is perverted since he looks at magazines with girls with big boobs, but he hadn't been that tempted to make a move on Nagi like he had in the anime! Anywayz, I've caught up until the latest chapter, and I love Kannagi xD The more I love Nagi as well =3 I found out that the girl with a cross is actually her sister and . . . I don't like her that much ^^; I don't like Jin's childhood friend either. Among Jin's friend, I only liked the manga nerd friend he has xD Jin is okay. I like it his artistic side and I love it when he's either quarreling with or being sweet to Nagi xD Yes, my OTP in this series! =3 As for Nagi, she's freakin' beautiful and crack xD And I love it that her charms isn't focused on boobs xD Haha. Anywayz, oh she's in my top goddesses list =3 Kuroshitsuji - caught up with the manga chapters that I missed. Things actually got interesting after Elizabeth's debut. *phew* That girl annoys the hell out of me x_x Though I find it funny when she tried to do some makeover on Sebastian xD LOL! The servants are still freakin' stupid though x_x And I'm glad that Sebastian's pissed with their stupidity as well but just tolerating and enduring it ^^; Oh you poor devil xD Haha! And ooooh, there's gonna be some crossdressing here! I was very amused xD And in the latest chapter, I totally didn't expect that xD I totally didn't expect those to be the main villains of the arc xD Hehe. And ah, seeing Ciel with that hat makes me think he's a Yoite + Miharu (of Nabari no Ou) lovechild xD Bwahahaha! Fairy Tail - no Gray? no Erza? and MORE LUCY? I am not motivated to read more of the current arc -_- Liar Game - new game seemed complicated at first but later I was somehow able to get it ^^; I do find it annoying that Nao depends on Akiyama too much but when I saw her grab his hand out of joy, that was just so . . . cute xD Fullmetal Alchemist - I didn't really read it, just browsed it ^^; Edward is still tze love. Same with Greed xD haha! And oh, Holemheim actually got something up in his sleeve. Cool xD

Haha, it's been so long since I've used it that I can't remember where or how to find that word counter thing online. You know, the one where you put the target amount and actual amount and it gives you that bar.
According to Word, I opened this document at 11:30. It's 5 to 2 now and I have 21 words out of 500.
... Yeah, I fail. It's a critical analysis about a contemporary example of anodised aluminium but my tutor doesn't want us to do anyone too wellknown/famous/talked about BUT ALSO we should and/or need to reference other reviews and museum catalogues and other "primary resources" which is a bit hard when IF THEY'RE OBSCURE, NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THEM.
On the other hand, eee. I shouldn't break hiatus but it is tempting and more interesting that this critical analysis.
Edit: 3:05 - 56 words ...

My first update from my netbook. :D So random I know. It's also strange to type on this but meh, I'll get use to it. What's the story behind it? Well, Shirley was complaining how my mom's notebook was crap and my dad decided to order her one. And in the process, I got myself a netbook. I mean, I'm not complaining but yea, I really don't need. Oh well. I'll just use it so that it isn't a waste of money.
Long weekend is long weekend but it makes no difference for me since I get Mondays off anyway. I'm losing the holidays man. Damn it. Anyway, I'm sad that I couldn't go to the Reborn gathering at Rachel's house today but yes, I want to hear about from those that did go~ hot_fish, essar, final, which one of you went and did you guys have loads of fun~ I'm so sad since I live like 15 minutes away. ;_____; Another time maybe, when it isn't in the middle of midterms.
First midterm is Tuesday in class for an hour. It's Philosophy. I have no clue what to expect but yea, it should be alright, hopefully. I think I'm slacking too much but yea, I have two days to review everything and I never have a midterm outline with questions, there really isn't anymore I need to hope for right? After that, two weeks later I have the rest of my midterms. I'm basically finished my assignments except that I haven't started my Anthro essay yet. D:
I had a gaming post, mostly FFIV, saved on my desktop but now that I played even more, I'll post about it later. So much to say!
Now as I continue to add stuff and modify said netbook, which I shall name Burebook (dumb name but yea, Burenda in Japanese XD), since yesterday, here's a photo of me terrorizing Coo in our TWEWY costumes taken by solartempest~ It was really hard to choose which one to upload first but this one just screamed to me because it's the most in character shot. XD

( Trick or Treat Meme )
In other news I haven't updated much......yeah I've been busy....sometimes....and it was really annoying to type on my laptop w/my glasses on (the screen it burnsss) so i got myself a usb keyboard so the screen doesn't have to be in my face now. :D I have to get used to it though, its brand new and a little hard to type on because it's not broken in yet (bah my shift key is sticking, this will be conquered, how else will I make all my emoticons? D:) I also have to find something to put under it because it's just resting on my glass desktop and sliding all around now >_<
( Anime stuff )
I got my new glasses, and they are awesome and light. Then I got two other pairs so I'll be covered if something happens to one of them. I'm still not used to wearing them for long periods of time so it's good to have other pairs that don't fit the exact same way (no headaches plz y_y).
For the past 4 weeks or so I've been going to Georgetown to hang out with the guys (Yamachiiin and Matt) on friday :D Then they come back to my house for something I've baked and anime watching :D After 2 or 3 years we've finally got Matt addicted to GitS :D we watched the first movie yesterday (which I hadn't seen before, so it was fun ^__^). Friday's make up for most of the entire week's worth of stress and give me something to look forward to wear I can eat an excellent cheap breakfast in peace, spend a few hours in the awesome library working on research for my manga, then go to the labs and see the guys and grab lunch. :3 It's really nice to have that, where I can forget for a little while, all things going on with school and at home.
My class has been going alright I guess. Those lectures seem SO long though XD like come onnnnnnnnnn. Ugh. They feel like the longest part of the week. XD Everyone is real nice though, so it's not too bad....
Art-wise, I have no idea what happened. Sometime btwn last year and now my style became really androgynous and not suited for all my female characters. It's really starting to piss me off so I'm going to industriously start drawing a lot more traditionally and spend more time analyzing wtf happened. T_T Its super annoying. There's this manga contest I want to enter but....man I haven't really made any true manga pages yet....its a little intimidating. I still want to try though. =_= I'm thinking of posting more art here or at my art lj...something....to keep me working at it everyday.....XD
Anyway....my updates will probably be sporadic again for a while....maybe......maybe not now that I have a more comfortable typing system.....
Take care guys.

There's an anime on TV that seems to be a cross between a cooking series, Yu-Gi-Oh! and your average generic "empire tries to take over the world and enslaves people while missing certain kids." What's amusing is that it's voiced by people I've heard over ten years ago. T-The voice acting industry's really small in Hong Kong.
Anyway, work to do today! And since I failed at it yesterday, I have to try and literally do everything today. Because I can't do it tomorrow and if it's not finished by today, I'm in trouble. It shouldn't actually matter that much because it's worth 10 marks, but I'm panicking nonetheless.

( Wow, I haven't written very much this spring and summer... )
Okay, so not a lot of dialogue (this is mostly because I keep thinking I have a bad habit of starting fics with dialogue but ahaha, guess not. Starting with character names and-or pronouns (orz). Mostly involving an action than a description (which is typical of my style really).
Uh... not sure what else besides BOOKU amount of DC/MK fics. Also, Jack. Pfft. .

finally had a chance to listen to the second Macross Frontier OST.
AND BOY IS IT EPIC.
Listening to the epic medley brought tears to my eyes all over again. (Actually, quite a few of the tracks did that.)
This OST really perfects the Ranka/Sheryl duet btw. I still remember the very first duet they did early on the series -- it wasn't that impressive because Sheryl's voice tended to overpower Ranka and the dynamic wasn't all that great. But with Lion, and now the cover of Triangler (which I didn't even like the Maaya version of all that much), they really started figuring out the right balance for them. And mmmm, the results are awesome.
(Who does the vocals for the final Aimo? I've been wondering this ever since I watched the raws for the last episode. It's really haunting.)
The instrumentation is so rich. epic epic epic. Probably the only track I'm not so fond of is Seikan Hikou, which was my least favorite of Ranka's songs. But everything else more than makes up for it.
Meanwhile our house is ridiculously cold. Colder than it is outside, even.
Which means I can't concentrate. Damnit.

I did first 25 fic files on the computer because the DC/MK kinkmeme would have been over half, so it just got the opening line to the first fic. Includes some WiPs.
( 25 fics, 9 different series. Whomever names them all gets a virtual cookie. )

Ugh, having major costume issues and doubts. I've run into snag after snag for my planned costume for Halloween. I'd love to get it done and wear it for Halloween, but I just don't know how it's going to work out. I can't wrap my head around parts of it. And when I do figure out one part, the next one makes me stumble. Ugh. Nur is going to try to help me with it tomorrow, so hopefully we can figure it out. Remind me never to cosplay anybody with fancy knee-high boots again.
I'm working on another costume, something pretty easy, just in case. If anything, it gives me something I can be productive in when the main costume and work are getting me down. It has a lot of weapons, and I like weapons.

It's like, one of the best original fanfic ever.
All the suspense, angst, comedy and love mixed in by such a wonderful writing style never ceases to amaze me.

May's story is so poignant and I cry every time I read the ending. =(

| Casshern SINS - past, present, future |
[11 Oct 2008|06:23pm] |
Casshern SINS is orginally a 1970's anime series that had an OVA in the 1990's and had a live-action movie in the early 2000's . . .then this 2008 it gets a modern remake. Among the four, the most recent version deviates from the other three, story-wise.
I've done some reading and youtube watching on the older series. I've seen episodes one and two subbed. I prefer knowing more about the live-action by actually seeing it first, so this entry will focus on my thoughts on the anime versions:
(1) 1970s anime series ( so-so, pain-to-the-ears op, nice fight scenes for an old series, seems to be the boring episodic type x_x )
(2) 1990's OVA ( pretty okay, somewhat similar to the older version but just shorter, luna here looks like a slut, not for children )
(3) 2008 anime series ( interesting story change, beautiful visuals, nice voice cast )
(3.1) Episode One ( Ringo must die, Casshern is not bad, Luna is important, other thoughts in spoiler impressions )
(3.2) Episode Two ( depression and decay, being human, different robots that Casshern meets, etc. )
(3.3) Coming Soon ( Friender is still there! A human O_O! New awesome characters coming soon xD )
=== Wishes and Thoughts on Future Events of the Modern Version ( Now home come Casshern's only flashback was HER? =3 )
=== Some Videos Found ( some old and new Casshern videos to those interested to check them out )
=== Fangirlism ( I love Casshern, Dio, Luna, Friender, Casshern x Luna, Casshern + Dio, Casshern + Friender, and CS is my latets anime obsession xD )

My inner voice is a guy.
- - -
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4588102/1/Flowers_on_the_Sea
Continuing my tradition of writing relatively obscure/unpopular characters (once again, they are not on the bulky new list): Samson/Sheema, go go go!
I was surprised it came out in first person. I'm not a big fan of first person. But I seem to write a lot of first person male. Relatively, that is. (Trying to remember the last time I did first person female..... think I only ever did it with Tokio for RP.) See above?
I've decided Samson/Sheema is my FE3 OTP. Even over Camus/Nina. Though frankly, I adoooore both. But there's just something about Samson/Sheema that touches me more. Maybe because they feel more like regular people instead of archetypes (mind, I LOVE the princess/knight archetypes as FE portrays them). And Sheema's dialect patterns in Japanese amuse me because they're very very casual and she's totally not princessy. (She uses omae and kisama! Hee.)
Also, Ankoku/Monshou world-building is really fun. There are an awful lot of island nations in Monshou, which separates it from the later games (which are pretty much landlocked). So it's fun to play with that.
Also. I have an excuse to post Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" now.
( The sea is calm to-night. )
Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.
