ew i would scream if i saw that. DDD:

haha, no, 18 just came out in english-- i was reading 20 in japanese. and i realised with a shock that i could understand the entire first page! it's amazing! i felt intensely smart. and by the way i think i might be able to go to uwajimaya tomorrow and so yeah. i want to get more bleach because i love bleach. and also i want tsubasa 18. and i want 19, 20, 21, 22, et cetera, but they aren't out yet. D< i wonder how long trc will be? it's their longest series yet...

haha, i thought the same thing when i read that! poor cellists. natalie and nick are both cellists.

in japanese our current project is to make a family tree, and they said we could make up an entire family, so i did! nikolas and jane are my parents; august, gwen, gedric, and bellatrix are my siblings (august = 21, gedric = 19, bella = 17, gwen = 16); and i made up grandparents. their names are beatrix (i just really wanted to use that name somewhere) and carlisle (hahalolomg). whee. so yeah. i am my friend abby's cat! it's great fun. this one guy in my class has a family entire consisting of pokemon characters. i'm another guy's little sister. and it's generally more fun than it probably ought to be. i'm going to draw what all of my people look like, too, but in their prime-- like, carlisle and beatrix aren't going to be old, since i'm drawing how they would look in their early twenties or so, but i'm colouring it in sepia to make it look like an old photograph. same with nikolas and jane.

toolazytopressshift.

so i'm listening to idioteque by radiohead, which is the song that tite kubo based uryu ishida off of. it's actually a really good song. i liiiiike it. and i've been listening to it pretty much nonstop. and i need to delete those other carmina burranas off my youtube. blehh.

yay!! i'm so glad that sora will be in it! i would be so mad if it didn't have at least some of the original characters it in. i mean sheesh.

we watched a movie in future focus that didn't really have anything to do with what we were learning, and it had sean connery in it. and my friends and i made joke after joke about him. he's old, scottish, and totally badass. in the kind of way that chuck norris is badass. and he's just so much fun to joke about. we made our substitute mad since we wouldn't shut up. xDD

ohhhh. i did this bulletin on myspace where it was like, there would be a question like, 'what is your name?' or 'how tall are you?' and you'd go into yahoo images and type in the answer, and choose an image from the first page, and put it in the bulletin as the answer. it was dreadfully fun.

i was reading bleach yesterday and i got all excited about it. i love volume 20. so much stuff happens. it's so great.

Haha. In my Tsubasa story a lot of characters cry. Gwen had cried (because she may not seem like it but she's rather easily driven to tears), Fay has cried, August has cried, even Kurogane has cried. xDD But all the boys so far have only cried once, and Kuro's was because of... Hell. I'll post the story except. It's actually an entire chapter in my story. xD But here:

Kurogane was back home. But he wasn't, he knew, because he was in Seresu, in the strange, plush bed that was elevated off the floor in Gwen's house. Thus, he was certain he was dreaming.

However, it was nice, this dream. It smelled like home.

He missed Nihon. He missed the grounds of Shirasaki castle, the nighttime strolls, guard duty, his bed, even the simple pleasure of sitting outside on a nice day and sharpening Ginryu. What he missed most, though, had to be Tomoyo. He supposed that his affection for his princess was similar to August's affection for his Queen; both were the only family the men knew. Kurogane missed her smile, her charm, the way she laughed when she played tricks on her ninjas. Even just her presence.

As if summoned by his thoughts, Tomoyo herself appeared from nowhere.

"Tomoyo?" Kurogane asked hesitantly. There was something about this dream, he realised. It seemed very... Real. Tangible. Like it was more than just his imagination at work.

"Hello, Kurogane," she said. Yes, this was his Tomoyo. Suddenly he realised what was going on.

"You're... It's really you. You're visiting me in my dream," he said, eyes widening. She smiled more widely.

"Correct." She fixed the alignment of her kimono before addressing him again.

"Do you know why I'm here, Kurogane?" she asked seriously. He nodded. The curse. Of course.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself? An explanation?"

"The guy was about to kill Gwen. Too many people rely on her, and... Her death would be worse than me losing some of my strength. I knew what killing that man meant, and I accept the consequences of my actions." Tomoyo raised her eyebrows.

"Do you regret it?" she inquired quietly. Kurogane had thought about it... If there had been another way, then perhaps he would feel regret, but at the time, there had been no other option. On the battlefield it was kill or be killed.

"No," he said firmly. "I don't."

"Would you do it again?"

"...Yes." Kurogane knew that if he were presented with the same circumstances, he would make the same choice. There was nothing he could have done. Suddenly Tomoyo looked very, very happy.

"That's just what I wanted to hear," she said proudly.

"What?"

"The curse that I put on you was one that prevented you from taking unnecessary life. You heard it as everytime you killed someone, your strength would diminish. I did it purposely to make you think that. The time when someone else's life meant more to you than your strength, even for just a moment, was the time that you could kill not for your own agenda, but to help someone else. And so, I am here to lift the curse."

"Are you serious?" breathed Kuro, aghast.

"Quite," Tomoyo smiled. "But first, I have a question for you." She paused. "Do you want to come home?"

"Yes," he answered instantly.

"I can take you home right now, should you wish it. Do you want me to bring you home, Kurogane?"

Such a dilemma Kurogane had never faced. He wanted more than anything to be home in Nihon again, to see his fellow ninja, to be around people who understood him. That was, after all, his wish. But then he thought about Syaoran, the kid who would do anything to save his princess. Sakura, who was young, innocent, sweet, caring... Fai, Gwen, August; he could not abandon them. He'd always believed that the instant Mokona landed in Nihon it would be a goodbye, and that he wouldn't miss them. But thinking about it, goodbyes were harder than he'd realised.

"I'm sorry, Tomoyo," he said. He set his mouth in determination. "My wish is still to return home, but I can't leave them now. The kid needs help collecting the feathers. As much as he'd like to believe, he can't do it alone, and so until the time the manjuu takes me to Nihon I'll stay with them." Tomoyo looked surprised for a moment, then smiled even wider.

"I'm glad you said that." She chuckled. "If you hadn't, I would have assumed that you didn't learn your lesson fully, and I would have left the curse. But since you answered as you did, the curse comes off." She waved her hand, and suddenly Kurogane felt a great weight lift off of him, leaving him feeling lighter than air.

"Thank you, Tomoyo," he said. "I will be back home, mark my words."

"Oh Kurogane," whispered Tomoyo, her beaming smile radiant. The tears in her eyes were tears of utmost joy as she slowly walked toward him. "I am very, very proud of you." She reached up with her small hands, pulling his face to her level and kissing his forehead. She hugged him tightly around the neck, chuckling all the while.

Kurogane woke from his dream, and realised the tears on his cheeks were his own.


Heheheee. I love making people cry. >:D

Okay. The song Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's is amazing, and you should listen to it. It's on my YouTube. Oh and, you may notice that I have a ton of Carmina Burranas on there, but I'm going to delete all except the most recent two, so yeah. The 300 one and the sheet music. I like to sing along to it. xDD It's so much fun.

And also. 151 is one of the cruelest chapters yet. The ending mainly. Urghhhh. DO SOMETHING KUROGANE. Although half of me says not to because I'd like to see how it would make Fay act, if-- um, just read it. xDD I think the next chapter doesn't come out until like the ninth or something. DDD: I CAN'T WAIT TWO frackING WEEKS, CLAMP.

Okay. My friend Hillary is in love with August, and my friend Abby is in love with Gedric. xDD I've been telling Abby about my story plot for Gedric and Bella and she's been really enjoying it. We call it the epic plot since it's been two days on the bus ride home and I still haven't finished explaining it all. And I explain straight through the entire ride. Which is like 20 minutes. It's great fun.

May I pick multiple people? Because I want to. So I will. And if you won't let me, then they're all directed at Kitsune.

1. Pick one of my characters, any one (even if you don't know their name and I've only drawn them somewhere before).
2. I will tell you the origin of his/her name. [to Kitsune-- all of her names, not just Kitsune]
3. I will tell you random facts surrounding his/her creation. [to Shruikan]
4. I will give you a random fact of his/her backstory. [to Kitsune]
5. I will give you a random fact of his/her forestory. [to Leon! because I like that guy.]
6. You may ask me up to ten questions about the character (but if a question is too spoiler-y I may not respond).
1. [Kitsune] Where is your father, currently? If you don't know, where should he be, or where would you like him to be? (don't give me some 'he's where he should be' or 'he's home' type of bullshoot xD)
2. [Kitsune] What are the pseudonyms you've had in the past?
3. [Leon] What purposes, if any, do your tattoos and top hat have? (haha, I just like them xD)
4. ... Um. I'll ask more later. If I can think of more. Because right now I can't.

NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR ME.

AND I THINK THAT TSUBASA 151 IS OUT TODAY. SO I HAVE TO GO CHECK.

There is no Paint on this computer and it won't let it me change it otherwise. DDDDD;

But I have the pics up on here (finally), and I'm off to post them on DA!

Haha, this wasn't the icon I originally wanted. I'm going to waste everyone's time and now post all the icons I tried that, for some reason, wouldn't work:









Yeah. I love that last one for reasons unbeknownst to me; I just really love it. Perhaps because it has to do with Adonis, which is a myth that I'm rather fond of. Yes. That must be it. Plus it's a cool picture.

So, uhm. Yes. I'm going to do that questions thing. I've been meaning to do it, actually, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But I will do it. I also have to post my pictures... I'm going to do that now. After I post a bulletin on MySpace asking if anyone knows when Mr and Ms Cav starts tonight... It's kind of like a talent show thing. Like Miss America or something. Only juniors and seniors can be in it. But yeah. I'm excited but I don't know when it starts.

So yeah.

Haaa! I found the picture that inspired my August picture!



Yayy. xDD I saw it and was like 'NO WAYY' because I didn't think I was going to find it again. But I did! Woooo! So yeah, I drew August in a pose similar to that. Yeah. Originally his tattoo was supposed to be in the same place as that guy's, but it didn't work out that way. xD; So it's on his bicep instead.

Yeah. I need to change my icon again. I will after I post this. But today I was on Gaia and I saw this really cool picture of a guy, and I got a picture in my head of August in a similar pose (it happens a lot) and I drew it all in pen. Urhghhhh. I hate drawing in pen. But I did. And it looks good. :00 And so you should see it sometime. Because I like it. It's him, facing the viewer, with only the top half of his torso showing, and his eyes are closed, and he's kind of got his arm across his chest... It's hard to explain. I'm gonna see if I can find the picture I sort of referenced from. But then on August's arm is the word 'GUENEVERE' in all caps, in plain black letters. Haha tattoos. Originally it was going to be on his chest, but uh, it didn't work out. xD
