Oops. One more thing ^^;
I almost forgot! Yamada-kun (aka Mark)and Kchan have been assimilated into the Blog collective. Get going on those blogs! ^_^_v

Ok, so the last entry was just letting off steam. I didn't mean to be so bitchy ^^; Anyhoo. Happy Halloween, minna! I hope that your trick-or-treating goes well. Angry Babble linked to me ^_______^ Thank you! I feel loved ^_^ I'm amazed that anyone actually /reads/ my incoherent whining o_o
The blog trend spreads like a virus! The lovely talented Cat will soon have one as well, and I am making a layout for it. Aren't I nice? ^_- Cat bought me a marker yesterday! It was periwinkle, a color I don't have. Wasn't that nice of her? ^_^ Prismacolor markers are my vice. They're expensive ($2-3 each!) but they are so so nice. I have considered switching over to Letraset Tria markers, but they are pricier, and I like Prismacolors better ^_^ I have about 30 now....and I keep buying more @_@ This is the last picture I did with my marker-chans....I borrowed the pose from the Peach Girl manga. It's my MCX entry for this month, for Angela, who is a very nice gal. I'm glad I got her this month. It gave me a chance to repay her for this beautiful pic of my Wheel of Time RPG character. Ok, enough babbling from me ^_^ Ja~

Rar! I have been kicked off my computer by an asshole. See, I am a creature of habit. I happen to love one of the computers in the lab where I work. I sit there every day. I have all my NT settings perfected. I have my own shortcuts and desktop wallpaper, and it is the only computer in the lab with all the programs I need on a daily basis. Well, since I am a mere servant of the Great and Glorious faculty that comes into the lab, I must give up my beloved computer if someone else needs it. Now, normally I get along with almost everyone who comes in the lab. Most faculty members are very nice, and it's really easy to help them. However...
Sometimes you just have to deal with assholes. Like the guy who is on my computer right now...he started spouting fake techbabble out his mouth that amounted to 'I need YOUR PC to print this Word file off my MAC zip disk." Apparently the quality of printing off the four macs in our lab is just not good enough (despite it being the same printer that the rest of the PC's use) and since the Mac disk did not work in ONE PC, then of *course* it's not going to work in the other three free computers (all of which can read mac zips, have Word, and can print). Noooo. It worked on MY computer before, so he has to use MY computer again. Why? So his font will look okay. What font, you ask? Comic Sans MS, a font that is on nearly every Windows machine known to man :P So here I am, typing away and wasting my time. Boo.
Currently on Winamp: Well, I WAS playing Namie Amuro until the jerk kicked my off my compy >P

Wow, Puu, you managed to put The Big O and Placebo in the same entry. *applauds* Then again...it IS sort of appropriate... Oh my God, an Etch-a-Sketch bishounen. That is really f*cking funny! *falls over laughing* Too true, dontcha know XD
Damnit! Ex-boyfriend is trying to level The Mighty Cannon of Guilt (as coined by Matt) at me! Stop that! *thwapthwap* Still working on some post-breakup stuff (we broke up a week ago). Yes, I broke up with him. No, I don't hate him. Yes, I want to move on....that's why I really resent being guilt-tripped. See, I have this guilty complex... I apologize for /everything/ (ask Matt or Cat or Bri!) and I get stressed out about things that aren't really my fault. So when my ex who I broke up with makes me feel guilty, it's like a triple whammy. I hate that >_<
Sorry for the genkinai entry. Just had to get that off my chest. Back to eating nachos, listening to my new Eva CD, and doing web design ^_^

Kohaku: Eep! I forgot to mention that #FushigiYuugi is on EFnet. This is important, as not all IRC networks are connected to each other. #FY doesn't require a password, though. Unfortunately, I've never used Pirch; I usually use mIRC.Gomen ne! EFnet has been having lots of problems lately, though, so it's hard to get on a server. There is a list of servers you can try here. I hope this helps! ^_^
Puuchan, I hope your application-filling-out goes okay! Hang in there ^^
On winamp: Aa Shuu Dekei oo. (Don't ask ^^;)

Kris-san, I found your blog off Emi's site, and I have to say I agree with you on three points: 1)CLAMP fangirls take CLAMP waaay too seriously (I learned to stay away from that ^^;). 2)Ubertrendy webpages such as the ones you describe annoy me as well. 3)Bars suck! Bah.
That reminds me of something that annoys me. What is up with the girls on this campus? Far too many of them feel the intense need to dress in as little clothing as possible to go out to the bars on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Ew! Don't you get cold? Don't you get unwelcome advances from nasty drunk fratboys? Don't you feel embarrased that you look like you're a hooker? Maybe that's the point of dressing like that :P Ugh. I hate that.
On winamp: Lain remixes, whee!
Monday, October 30, 2000 06:59 p.m.
Wai! Thanks, Kohaku! Your comments were so nice ^_^ I'm glad you like the layout =D I love the pic on your site! To Heart, ne? Or am I just going batty? ^^; Oh, and if you do go on IRC, try the super-crazy #FushigiYuugi, if you are brave. Most everyone on my blog list is in there at one time or another ^_^
I do love Clover. I'm a sucker for CLAMP in general, as a matter of fact. I just got Angelic Layer 1 and 2 *_* I need to get Clover 4...*sigh* my poor paychecks can't handle trips to Mitsuwa very well, especially now that they have a DDR machine *_*
I have to get cracking on ed.n. There hasn't been any new art in ages o_o I also have to finish up the site for Love Bunny, a manga that I am writing with K-chan, and a couple other sites, such as the constantly-shelved bishounen shrine. At least my personal site is done ^^;
Puu! I wub j00! But you should really thank RJ for the theme (and the Freddie Mercury cracks ^^;) since he found it....somewhere.....I tend to not question his sources ^_-

WAI Yuuhi-ecchi-oniisan got a blog, too. It's spreading! Whee! I recommend checking it out...with a name like Ecchi, it has to be good ^_- Love those ecchi pitas!
Currently in the CD player: Godspell ^_^

Yeah, yeah, I'm back. Emi mentioned me in her blog. I feel so special *^^* And now Puu is putting up a blog, too. It kicks ass! Yay for The Big O XD In case you are wondering, The Big O is a new anime from Sunrise that is basically a cheesy Batman with giant mecha, and a theme song ripped straight from every Queen song, ever. It's great! Emi, you are quite correct. I like that song but the video makes me go SQUICK. >_< And people wonder why I never watch television....
Monday, October 30, 2000 04:25 p.m.
Oi. Learn your niche, and learn it well, ne? I came back from my class and ran into three people I knew in the plaza between the building and my dorm..two in the lobby of my building...one in the elevator..and so on. It made me feel almost popular, despite the fact that I am an antisocial otakugirl. Whee.
I made it through my Japanese oral quiz okay, despite freezing up on a very easy question. I was just nervous, I guess...
On another genki note, I got paid for giving a presentation at my old high school O_o I wasn't expecting to be paid, but it made me happy ^_^
Right now I am in class, and I am waiting for the teacher to reinstall Fireworks. I hope Fireworks can cover making animated GIF's more easily than ImageReady :P
....
.......The teacher couldn't install Fireworks. Guess I get to go home _O_ Yay for wasting my time :P Blah. Maybe I will hide tonight after all.

By the way, the lovely bishounen on the left is Yuuhi from Ayashi no Ceres. Thank you, oniisan, for letting my shamelessly rip the image off your page ^_^ Yeah.
I hate EFnet right now. I can't hold a conversation with anyone because one of us is constantly split. That is...when I can get on at all >_< Ok, enough ranting for me. Time for Japanese class :P
Monday, October 30, 2000 11:37 a.m.
Hoe~ I finished putting up a blog layout. Woo. I love designing things like this. It's not very original, but oh well :P It's a good way to waste time at work ^^; Anyhoo, I would like to blame Emi for this blog ^_- She's the one who notified me of their existance.
I am in a good mood. I'm cold, but it's always cold in here. I am doing a good bit better now than I was at this time last week, that's for sure. I think I should probably study for my Japanese test...the oral section is today, and the written section is tomorrow. Eek! Does watching anime count as studying? ^_-
Speaking of which, we went to the JAC anime blowout and costume contest. It was fun. I finally got to see some Ayashi no Ceres *_* I love it! I also went dressed as Fuu from the Rayearth OAV's. When I get my hands on the pictures the JAC officers took, I'll post them. I was also so proud of the Spike coat I made for Matt, one of my very best friends. He got second place ^_____^ Did I mention that Spike is my favorite bishounen? Ok, that's it for me. I swear. Ja~
