05:37 pm - o.o Fic ideas? There's a fanworks contest at renji_rukia that I'm thinking about entering. I don't really think my drabbles are good enough though. >.<
I'm also considering making a Mai-HiME drabble collection on ff.net since I'm seriously hooked on that series right now. The Akira/Takumi pairing needs love. XDXDXD
I've also finally made an AMV that I'm semi-happy with. A Mai-HiME one to Defying Gravity. It's still glitchy, but it's better than some of the others. I do wish I had a better program than Movie Maker though. *sigh*
And on a completely unrelated note, I had a really weird dream last night. Don't remember most of it, but it involved Sesshoumaru giving me a back rub. o.O;;; Current Mood: bored Current Music: Mai-HiME OST 1- It's only the fairy tale

10:55 am - I'm an AMV whore... I learned how to make AMVs last night and now I'm addicted. I made one last night and another this morning. Both are rather crappy...
And I woke up way before I wanted to this morning. And I'm still not exactly awake...
Yeah... Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Wicked- For Good

09:50 pm - What's the worst thing you can say to a writer? This is the most pissed off I've been in a long time. Not only have I been insulted, any confidence I've ever had in my fanfiction has been shot down to zero. Someone PMed me on the forum, saying that they read my fics and asked if they could rewrite them so that they have more action (as in sexual). That is an *awful* thing to say to a writer. Possible one of the worst things, short of flaming. I'm really shocked that someone could have enough nerve to do that.
I'm an extremely shy person when it comes to my writing. I won't type or write anything if anyone is in the room with me, and I'll re-read it a billion times before I even ask someone if they'll beta read it for me. Most of the stuff I start dosen't end up posted either. Right now I'm really tempted to take down all of my fics and never post another one ever again.
I have a hard time saying no to people too. The person asked, not exactly in a polite manner, and I replied that I would appreciate it if he didn't. He didn't take the hint. I just can't outright say no to someone, or be truly mean... And this is one of those times where I absolutely hate it that I'm like that.
I guess some people just don't understand that a person's stories are their babies. Some suggestions on what to do with them and constructive criticism is fine, but to ask if you can rewrite it? That's just rude. I know all writers arn't like me, but I would think that this kind of thing would be a huge insult to anyone...
Right... Rant done now... >.>

02:03 pm - Crack! My muse is on CRACK! Good lord. I wrote three drabbles in a row last night. That's an all time record for me. I usually manage one every few months or so. o.o;;;
I now have four Bleach fics total on my site. XD Two Renji/Rukai, one Hitsu/Hina, and one Shunsui/Nanao. I'm still to afraid to post them anywhere else though. Maybe I can talk Bri-chan or Cullen into beta reading them for me and I'll post them all together as a drabble collection on ff.net. ^ ^;;;
Yeah. Shy-ness is going to kick in before I can get any of that done... >.>
Bleach OST 1 is out by the way. Woot-ness. I've been waiting for this OST since I saw the anime for the first time at club. I remember first seeing episode two or three, turning to Stephanie, and saying "Is there a soundtrack?" XD Now I've got the soundtrack. It rocks too. I love the first track, and of course Asterisk, Life is Like a Boat, and Thank You. Bohaha!
And on a strange side note, I posted a couple of my dance pics on the forum. Apparently I look like Melissa Joan Hart. o.O;; Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Bleach OST

11:56 am - Is free! Yeah baby! School is out for the summer! XDXDXD
Now I have to rant on Bleach and Naruto. ^ ~
Bleach: 32 is so my favorite episode now. I was in tears by the end of it. Props to Renji's VA, the end of the episode where Renji was screaming at Ichigo to save Rukia was amazing. And even though most of the flashback wasn't actually in the manga, it was still good. Blushing Renji! XDXDXD
Naruto: Ne~ji! Shirtless Ne~ji! *passes out from nasal blood loss* I'm not too thrilled about this filler arc though... I know they need to give the anime time to get ahead of the manga, but I really don't like most filler arcs... >.> The manga has had me squealing rabidly every week though. Have I already ranted about how sexy Neji looks in his new outfit? *passes out again*
I think that's it for now... Pain pills are messing with my brain again... XD Current Mood: giddy Current Music: Blue - Cowboy Bebop

12:52 pm - Exams... Bleh... >.> My mother has such a wonderful way to completely ruin my good moods. I made a 102 on my history exam and a 93 on the math, and I don't even get a "Good job." As soon as I got home I was being yelled at for having a 78 average in history. And my mother seems to have decided that the computer is the source of my grades, because heaven forbid if the class was actually hard and difficult to pass. Oh no, it's the lazy girl's fault that she has trouble with history. It's that damn class project that did it. Apparently Jessica decided I was being lazy and didn't care, so she gave me a 70. Giving me that bad of a grade because I didn't seem "enthusiastic" enough just isn't fair. It would have been if I hadn't done my work, but everything got done! It's not my fault it wasn't perfect enough. But furious as that makes me, I can't stay mad at my friend... >.>
I'm just utterly worthless at everything I do. Knowing my luck I failed the research paper too.

10:45 pm - Champloo! The dub isn't too bad. It dosen't have anything on the Japanese version, but it's watchable. The acting of some of the minor-only-appear-once-or-twice characters is kind off, but that's not too bad. I don't really like Mugen's voice, but I'll probably get used to it after a little while. The way Jin talks is kind of weird, but the voice is okay. Ah well. It's a lot better than some of the other new dubs that have been coming out. It dosen't make me want to spork myself to death at least. Current Mood: content

09:30 pm - Dub rant My confidence in the Naruto dub has risen greatly, while the One Piece dub continues to make me retch.
Steve Blum (Spike from Bebop) is supposed to be in the Naruto dub. His character is not known yet, but I'm thinking it's definitly going to be Kakashi. He would fit as Kakashi too. Bebop has a really good dub, and Steve Blum is a good actor, so I feel a lot better about the dub now. I just hope they do well with the rest of the casting *casually sharpens knife*. I can't stand it when my favorite series end up with crappy dubs.
Speaking of crap dubs, the One Piece on has gotten so much harder to avoid now that it's on Toonami. A lot of times the TV in here is just on Cartoon Network and I'm not usually watching it. And then I hear that bloody rap... thing... they have as an opening. *shudder* That dub really makes me sick. I still can't believe they turned such a great series into... that... Rar...
Samurai Champloo premiers on Adult Swim tonight. I just finished watching the series subbed about an our ago. XD. It was licensed by a decent company, so I'm not too worried about it. I'll make my final decision after I see the dub on AS tonight. Current Mood: blah Current Music: One Piece

09:37 pm - My braaaaaiiiiiiin Joy. Another round of Fullmetal movie spoilers. Not like my brain's about to explode already. But Aru in Munich in the armor? o.O What the hell is going on? *watches a few plot bunnies keel over and die*
And Winry's wearing her hair like Riza now... That's not something I was expecting. And Wrath is going to be in the movie. He still looks psychotic though... >.>
This would have been better if it had come out after exams were over. I'm still going into random Ritsu-like fits over all of this work. I'M TOO STUPID TO GET ALL OF THIS DONE!

09:40 am - Leave my boobs alone! That's not quite as wrong as it sounds. Last night during the show about three people were messing with me because I was trying to find a good way to cover my cleavage in our Come Together costume. Apparently a lot of people didn't realize that I'm not exactly flat chested. *sniggers* Guess that's what I get for wearing such baggy clothing all the time.
The show actually went pretty well last night. No one died at least. And as far as I know there wern't any new injuries. Huzzah. Current Mood: lazy Current Music: Dancing Through Life - Wicked

02:18 pm - Rant. Head for the hills... The school show today was horrible. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong did. I don't think I've ever seen this many injuries in one show before. And what pisses me off the worst is that some people just don't seem to care. They mess up and start laughing instead of just going on like you're supposed to. And our teacher tore a ligament during warm up so we have to re-do the part of Tribute that she was in because she can't dance tonight. And the same people are just laughing about it.
All I can say is if they don't shape up there will be a lot of use of four letter words coming from the dressing room tonight... >.> Current Mood: pissed off Current Music: Wicked

I really can't wait for this week to end. After this week I don't have to worry about the research paper, the history project, the trig test, or the show. It's going to be such a relief to get all of this out of the way.

05:00 pm - Research paper has been pwned! Bohahaha. After waiting until the last minute, I finally finished my paper for English. I feel so much better now that it's out of the way and I don't have to worry about it anymore. Now to just get that history one done... -.-;;;
I have to squee over the new Furuba chapter now... *squee* The Kyoru scene was so cu~te. ^ ^ I think I'm officially a Kyoru shipper now, though I'll always have a special place in my heart for Yukiru.
I just saw the Naruto movie too. Oh my God, that movie short killed me. Only Shino can manage to look cool while sitting on a toilet. *dies laughing* That's definianly a must see for anyone that wants a good laugh. I actually liked the short better than the actual movie.

07:30 pm - To~ys! XD I went out to the mall and Hit today and spent about 80 bucks on anime stuff. I ended up with 3 Fullmetal figures and the Luffy plushie that looks like Luffy is molesting Chopper. o.O
I love the Fullmetal figures. Al's even comes with a cat XD. Winry's extra head kind of freaks me out though...
The DMC workshop completely wore me out. Not that I was exactly energized to begin with... But 6 hours with small children and only a few hours of sleep really takes a lot out of a person. >.>
In other news, the whereabouts of my muse are still unknown and the plot bunnies continue to multiply like mad. Stay tuned for further updates.

03:45 pm - o.O I didn't get my picture taken today, which actuall kind of sucks because I went through all of the work it takes to get my hair to do anything for nothing. They just had to have the pictures diring third period when I was taking my Latin test. Argh...
Today was really weird though, because people kept telling me that my hair looked really pretty and stuff, which is something I'm seriously not used to. Normally I always have my hair in a ponytail and I wear large t-shirts and jeans and a jacket, so when I dress up a little, apparently it's a big deal. o.O
I still want to write a Renji/Rukai fic, but I can't seem to get anything to work and that bizarre Sanji/Nami idea won't leave me alone. *headdesk* Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Wicked

09:35 pm - Inspiration! Woot! I borrowed the Wicked soundtrack from Annie and it kicks ass. I keep getting fic ideas from random lyrics. Defying Gravity would be such a perfect name for and Ed-centric fic. I'm also thinking the 'What Is This Feeling' song would rock to dance too. I might do it for my senior piece, but that's still a loooong way off.
And of all strange things, my muse bit me in the ass with a Sanji/Nami idea of all things during jazz today. Besides almost getting killed by leaps and back handsprings coming at me from getting distracted during the dance, I'm a Luffy/Nami shipper. Weirdness... o.O
Oh, this is great. We have spring pictures tomorrow at school and they wait until today to tell us. I know I'm going to look like crap no matter what I do to my hair or makeup. This stress is killing me. Two major reports due in the same week, the DMC show is a week from tomorrow and we're not ready, and I might possibly get killed for having to miss next week at Ann's. There goes my front row spot in the closing... Like it's not enough that I'm not it the jazz dance for a full minute (which is a long time when the dance is only 3-4 minutes long).
Bleh. Off to work on my fanfics now. Current Mood: stressed Current Music: Wicked

07:36 pm - 4-Kids bashing ANN has an interview with the CEO chairman dude for 4-Kids. Ugh, it pissed me off. It's obvious that 4-Kids dosen't give a shit about the fans as long as they make money off the little kiddies that watch the Saturday morning cartoons. Here's the link. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/columns/sunday.php?id=35
"'At a licensing convention last year, where 4Kids revealed a first look at One Piece, a version of the Japanese opening with English vocals was played. However, 4Kids used an original rap opening in the broadcast version. What made you consider this opening over the other one?'
'Yeah, well.. we liked it, we thought it was good. And we thought it was going to be something that'd have a lot of popularity. There wasn't anything more to it than that.'"
Good lord. How can anyone that crappy rap opening better than We Are? The English version of We Are wasn't great, but it was SO much better than that... thing they're playing now. Ugh... Definantly don't give a shit about the real hardcore fans.
Even though I download a lot of the stuff I watch, I usually support it by buying it when it comes to the States, but I just can't watch what they did to One Piece and I don't want to support a company that does that to one of my favorite series. The edits they do take away from the actual plot. Things like Nami stabbing the Arlong tatoo on her arm, and Luffy bleeding and freezing when he's climbing Drum Mountain to carry Nami to a doctor make a powerful impact on the people watching the series.
And the voices, oh God, the voices. Luffy sounds like Ash+Crack+Goku+Helium, I keep expecting Nami to say something valley girl-ish, Usopp sounds kind of like he's being strangled by rabid monkeys, Sanji sounds like a thug with a head cold, and Zoro is the only one that sounds halfway decent, but they changed his name to Zolo which just sounds retarded.
If they release an uncut box set, I'll probably buy it, but I don't want to support that piece of shit dub.

12:10 pm - Bleach! *squee* I *heart* this series so much. Bleach is like crack. XD
I've been going through some of the older chapters and I think my love for Renji/Rukia has increased and caused the plot bunnies to attack. Just perfect since I haven't even gotten the Fullmetal plot bunnies to leave. *drowns in pile of plot bunnies* I believe my muse has deserted me again as well. Now I have to take on the plot bunnies by myself. *dies*
A bunch of real life stuff has been going on too. -.-;;; We danced at Panoply yesterday and it really sucked. It was cold, so we decided not to change costumes and me and my dumbass self forgot my dance pants so I had to borrow from people that were in different numbers. I think I changed pants 3 or 4 times during that show. Bleh.
