Thlayli is the Lapine name for Bigwig, the rabbit Lika is obsessed with from "Watership Down". Unfortunately, finding a picture of Bigwig is impossible, so Karen will have to do. Lika isn't shedding any tears over that ^_~

She was beyond beauty, chaste as a virgin, carnal as a whore, her hair as red as blood, her wings as black as night.

Maria, I love your Karen.

Oh *groan*, I am still high on the fever. And for some reason, I decided to rant about fanfic in this state. Talk about misery. Anyways, some quick reply before I return to the rant.

Audrey, Happy 15th! Hope you get lots of pressies and naked-chocolate-covered Seishirous.

Onee-sama, where's the Sorata drunkfic? Sorry about your money trouble *hugs* I know how much it sucks losing money. I hope you can replace it somehow.

Ammie, between you on the wall and Karen on the wall, I rather have you *^____^*

Satsuki-chan, I just want to let you know that you're one of my babies *cuddles*

Alison is going away soon... ;_; I hope you get a safe trip to Japan!

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! TB/CGS crossover? Seriously fucked. I want this badly.

One more thing before I head off to bed, Malice was the first Yuuto/Sorata fan I ran into. She mentioned how much she liked them in January.

My eyes still hurt from crying so hard last night. I watched Graves of the Fireflies and wow, that was sad. The moment Seito put his hand on Setsuko’s shoulder, I burst into tears and it went on from there. I’m still reeling. If you could watch, I really recommand you do, but bring your tissues.

Alison: You make the Japanese proud with the yukata! Have the best trip at Japan. Say hi to Sarai for me, and visit all the sites and places of importance. And come back safely. I’ll miss you lots, dear *BIG HUG * BTW, I thought molesting young boys was part of a being X fangirl.

Linh: Did you get the surgeon to keep the wisdom for you? I still have the six teeth I had pulled out and I’ll be willing to show them to you. I’m one of those folks who actually like getting their teeth pulled out – with anesthetics of course. I hope you're feeling better now. The soft diet is murderous >_< Good luck in getting your mother to relent on FF Tactics Rampage.

Kerianne: I’m going to slap his ass XD!!!
Okay, I love Yuuto to death, but Aoki is the better looking of the two. I forget how cute he is but everytime I look at his picture, it’s like, “yeah, baby”, especially when he’s sleeping or !angry (okay, he could have been gritting his teeth due to pain of stabbing himself with the knife, but I like to believe that he was just really determined to get his point across that someone would cry for Karen – Daisuke’s resemblance! ^_^) He definitely looks better with Karen physically. It sucks that he’s married, but hey, friendship is usually better than coupling and very meaningful. And don’t be so hard on Shimako. She bought the octopus tie for him. Don’t you hate it when you can’t hate the person in the way? One has to hand it to CLAMP for having us pull out our hair over this situation. I can't believe you wrote a Sorata/Yuuto fic. May OOC live long and prosper! ^__^

Epeeblade: It's bloody red. Your new Subaru layout looks so TB! CLAMP don’t use colors like that anymore. T’is verry purdy!

Ammie: Hey, how’s the new roomie? I hope you still get to see Saharu. Yuuto/Aoki for example, they look great Now there’s a coupling I never thought of ;) And I love Keiichi in one of the mangas, grabbing onto Kamui by his shoulder: “hontoni? Honto no Hontoni!?” *lol * He’s such a nut. I got your lovely Karen fanart up on my wall and it's like, gazefest every morning ^_^ And btw, GET A YAHOO!MESSENGER ACCOUNT!

Jeannie: *groan * Yes, I remember that ice storm of I believe it was ’98. Four days without electricity and heat, and I think the temperatures decide to kick –50 around then. At least we had hot water. My friend didn’t, and she had to boil water every time she needed a bath. I’m so sorry to hear that you got sick during the whole thing. The second Star Wars episode is called, “Attack of the Clones?” O.o I think “Fight the future” has been beaten in the dumb title category, but I’m sure the movie will be great. So that's the Ron you were talking about. He's so cute! I must get one of my boy Snape.

Maria: I love your rants on adultery, marriage, age difference, and everything else. Keep them up! They’re really interesting. And you’re one of the gutsiest people I know online.

ali: Heh heh… The religious reponse >_< To put this down as inoffensively as I can, I just wonder how anyone can be both Christians and CLAMP fans at the same time, not just you, but Sarai and Shinri are also Christian and CLAMP fans and all I can think of is, “what part of God Hates Homosexuality don’t you understand?" I have a lot of anger and bitterness towards God but your response helped. Thanks a bunch darling! *hugs* And I don’t know you don’t, but really, don’t sweat about not being depressed and angsty. Ammie and Alison aren’t either, and they’re just the most awesome people here. Trust me, if I had a choice between being depressed/bitter and happy/cheerful, I’d take the latter, though I kind of like the hand I’m dealt with right now: both of them. Part of being manic depressed: you’re as happy and as friendly as a puppy and a bitter, hurt, depressed little bitch at the same time. The best of both worlds ^_^

Warning: Nothing more than an incoherent X rambling, brought on by an afternoon of re-reading and fawning over my gorgeous X mangas. I have found my mecca.

I was reading the mangas with my seven-year-old niece Con, and pointing to characters on the back cover asking if she knows who they are. To my surprise, she knew all of them, saying their names slowly, but she definitely was saying their names. I pointed to Karen and when she said, "Karen," I said, "no, that's someone else, not Karen." She points to the name at the bottom of the picture. "Karen," she declares. Turns out the brat was just reading the names at the bottom the whole time. Little twit. The thing I abhor most about her is that she's smarter than seven than I ever will be at twenty one.

Arashi kick ass. Gotta love the cool, reserved, calm beauty thing, and the subtle but warm way she shows emotion. I'm smitten by her grey eyes. I didn’t like her last year because I thought she was cold and boring, but something has to be said for the girl who’s willing to pinch Sorata’s hand like that. He got his girl though. The couple that gets the most deathfics ends up being the only couple to actually get any kissing done. Just watch the next issue start off with news of Sorata's death in the hospital though >_<

Kerianne, you should know by now I’m always on the look-out for nooky. Always remember: X fan = nymphomaniacs = always want nooky. And yes, I read Firestorms many many times. One of the first fanfics I've read and loved. I love Shanti Fader’s work. It was her Aoki fics that got me into her stuff in the first place. There’s so little on Aoki, and even less on the DoEs sadly enough. I can’t write DoEs myself unless they’re dating DoHs, which explains the Y/K. I would love to write a Satsuki/Yuuto fic really, but my muse doesn’t seem up to it. Shame, because I really do like them, and Satsuki is usually written up with BEAST. I can’t blame her as I am in love with my family’s computer myself, but it would be nice to see a Satsuki/human fic once, and the best chance of that is her with Yuuto. Speaking of Yuuto, AUGH! I need to see the X anime just for that Yuuto/Sorata banter!! It’s one of my favorite scenes from X and I WANT TO SEE IT!

Of course I want the two guys drunk and in jail together, but that’s another story. Yuuto is turning into quite the slut, isn’t he? Is it any wonder I love the guy?

Anyone else got hair caught in their eyeball? Can you please confirm that it does indeed hurt like hell? Because my mom thought I was overexaggerating when I was yelling in pain when one of my hair got stuck into my eye last night.

Karen/Aoki nooky would be awesome too ^_^ Or just Karen. I'm in such a Karen kick right now. Okay, I'm always nuts about her, but recently, I've been getting all excited and bright eyed at the sight of her name in fanfics and posts. I'm even daydreaming about her! It's like writing her name over and over again in notebooks at school. It's so freaking insane. I blame it on the latest Asuka cover.

Keri, you should read Maria's fic, "Wings of Desire". The Aoki/Karen parts are wonderful, and you'll love her Aoki. He's so cool! Though I should warn you, and Maria may thwap me for this one, if I was a Big Yuuto/Karen fan before, I came out the fic an even bigger fan of the two.

The suffering of having a headache on top of a fever. I owe a bunch of people emails. I'll get to them when I don't feel like a fire-engine is smacking my head over and over again. Stupid phrase I know, but my head is hurting so much that I just can't think.

You have a Cayir doll? One word: Scans!

Meta, you know how I feel about your new layout :)

I love your scanned pics of the Hallowe'en pics. Your curls are cool! I'll try to catch you one so we can discuss Howl and eyeballs :D BTW, can you or Jeannie confirm that Ottawa does reach -50 degrees celcius in winter? I do remember weather that cold, but I'm not sure.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Friday, November 2, 2001--12:00a.m.

Many thanks to all folks who were nice to enough to tell me how to pronouce Karen's name.

*squeals* Keri has a new layout of the Aoki/Karen variety! One of my favorite scenes too ^___^ You know how much I love this couple. It's nice finding someone who likes it too.

That is so rude. I know people like are that all the time, but still, when you're in your PJs at 7 AM on Sunday and someone just barges into your house, it would take a lot to keep me from being rude. And I didn't think your Hallowe'en post was boring. It was really reflective, and I hope Dubuque works out for you.

To my irredeemable twin: Love both your serious posts and your hilarious ones. How you and Alison and ali put up with a depressed bunch of folks, I don't know, but I'm grateful. And yes, CLAMP needs to work on Daisuke no Panties. Forget the eyes, I want those underpants to have a life of their own! May that kid return 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' back. *lol* Did I ever tell you I went into library studies because I was an excessive overdue-book kid?

Malice, I hope your father isn't actually trying to get the African mosaic thing away from you. Satanic worship? The Africans will love that one. Try not to let it get to you that much/ Families are great at making you feel like you're weird when something you're into doesn't match the stuff they want you to be into.

Satsuki-chan, if you could pick up English and French as well as German, I'm sure you'll pick up Japanese as well. Don't listen to your dad on that matter.

Speaking of langauges: I have a co-worker named Joyce and when I was talking to a Cambodian mother, I told her about my job and co-workers and she asked me why I kept swearing. It turns out "joy" is a Cambodian swear word, quite offensive, actually. And now you know folks. If you're planning on going to Cambodia, do not tell people that you are in a state of joy.

My English professors writes on the chalkboard, Worthsworth is better then Blake, and points to the word, then. He looks at my third-year English class with a pained expression and says, "I know you're all smarter than that. Next time I catch any of you making that mistake, you fail your essay. We should not be graduating English students from university who don't know the difference between then and than."

It snowed. And then it rained. What lousy weather for Hallowe'en. I was soaked and chilled and miserable and it didn't help that my parents asked me to take my nieces out for Trick or treating before I left for the CBS. By time I got the CBS, Linh had left. I really wanted to see her curls. But I had a lot of fun talking Buffy and Angel to Jeannie and this other guy. Willow is so trouble!

Will get to other stuff tomorrow. I'm off to watch a documentary on the "Entity" now ^____^

A little background so you can understand the person behind this post: My grandparents died before I was born so I never had that senior presence when growing up, and therefore I don't see the eldery with the same kind of fondness and affection other people who have experience grandparently love and attention might. So when a old lady butts in front of me in the express lane -- Express Lane, got that? 1 to 8 items ONLY -- with a cartful of grocceries at the groccery store when I'm holding only a package of drinkboxes, I get pissed off. Let's add that I'm third in a long line, am carrying a very heavy schoolbag and another sack full of overdue library books. I don't want to wait in line with all that extra weight on my shoulders, especially when I'm in danger of being late for class. And of the course the old hag thinks that just because she's old and all that, somehow she can butt in front of young people with so much grocceries it takes fifteen minutes in the Express Lane to finish them all off. Everyone lets her because we have to respect the eldery. Bitch. Just because you're thrice my age doesn't exempt you from giving me and everyone else waiting in line a little courtesy.

Slytherin? I answered "I'd return the bag" when they asked what would I do if I found a bag of galleons. Does that sound sly and deceitful and Slytherin to you? But hey, to share a living quarters with my boy Snape? *^-^*

Does anyone out there know how to pronouce Karen's name? Is it Kah-Reen, Kah-Ren, or actually Kare-ren?

Taryn, if you mean Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley, that book sucked so bad, had it not been a library book, I would have ripped it to shreds. Someone needs to take the crayons away from Ms. Ripley and slap her hand. Then beat her.

Speaking of Gone with the Wind (spoiler warning), I loved the book, enjoyed the movie, but was irritated that they messed up my favorite character in the movie. Melanie was not a wuss. She's naive and good and meek, but she's also has one hell of a temper. Let's not forget how she scorned India and Aunt Pittypat and forced Peachtree to choose either her side or India's. And there was that wonderful scene where she screamed at the Yankee Officer when they brought her "drunk" husband and her hatred for the Yankee. The movie left all those things out which is a shame because for me, it was the combination of her cool anger and sweetness that made her character for me.

Maria, aka Mechanical Artificial Repair and Infiltration Android aka the person who actually read all of War and Peace^^: I'm an insane blog-hopper so that's how I found comments about the Kusa/Yuzu relationship that made me scowl, but I managed a nice, well manner response for a change. And you're right, I'm not sure about my religion decision at all. But Ammie and ali helped a lot. Thank guys. You have no idea how much it means to me. ali, I didn't tell you earlier, but I was annoyed to find out you were a Christian, as I was with Sarai. But strange enough after you explain how your position with Christianity and homosexuality, I was able to sleep properly for the first time in months. I might get to that lemon fic for Alison after all, so thanks a lot :) And congrats on being able to work out in a gym. It's like a torture chamber to me, so yeah, it's really admirable.

To the other Android Limited to Infiltration of the Big A variety, it doesn't matter home or school, if it has the internet, you will neglect your schoolwork. But rry to stay off and get some work done, all right?

Ammie, my sweets, thanks for this sit I'm totally abusing it right now. I am Lifeform Intended for Killing and Assassination Backwards, I am Artificial Killing and Infiltration Lifeform It's official: Short virgin library workers are evil. Bwahahahahaha! We're also extremely perverse and sadistic ^__^ I'm a square bear actually. Never even held hands with a guy. Nothing to do with my high morals or values. Guys just never asked me out. Probably intimidated by fact that I ask people which warren they associate themselves with. Go figure. Of course I think you're wonderful. You know I love that Octopus Tie and would be under your thrall if you talk about it! And I'm glad you see the light about letting Keiichi have the seashell bras and Daisuke the panties. I think it should be the title of CLAMP's newest manga: Daisuke no Panties!

Back to this site, I did it for other folks too:
Satsuki-chan, you are Synthetic Artificial Technician Skilled in Ultimate Killing and Infiltration and therefore your rotten neighbours should quake in fear.

Alison, you are an Artificial Lifeform Intended for Sabotage and Online Nullification, which for some reasons, really fits you. And btw, will someone take the eye away from the girl before she hurts someone with it?

Azure, you are Artificial Zombie Used for Repair and Exploration, which is most fitting considering the thing you sent me through the mail, plus your weird obsessions with mummies. You're a perfect Seiichirou on X island btw.

Jeannie, you are Journeying Electronic Android Normally for Nocturnal Infiltration and Exploration and Linh, you are a Lifeform Intended for Nocturnal Harm, which sounds *really* cool.

Metamia, you are Mechanical Electronic Technician Assembled for Mandatory Infiltration and Assassination O.o And yes, any bunny will do for a layout. Grey is a favorite color, but I'll take anything. Am not picky, as Alison knows.

Malice, take your pick. You're either Mechanical Artificial Infiltration and Judo Android or Mechanical Artificial Lifeform Intended for Killing and Exploration, though persoanlly, I like the judo one. BTW, you, jenni, and lava lamps are a dangerous combination ^.~

That does it. I need to get my hands on Storm Rider. You are the third person who had mentioned that it was worth watching.

Am off! Need to get to CBS soon ^___^

Fifteen minute break during Chaucer class, and the Hallowe'en episode of Buffy is on now and I can't watch it ;_; Jeannie, let me know if it's good tomorrow when I drop by the CBS to see you and Linh, okay? BTW, i LOVE the CBS. They let me off a overdue fine from a Trigun video I borrowed - not Jeannie but another guy there. That place rocks!

Monday, October 30, 2001--05:10 p.m.

I got only ten minutes so this will be quick. I'll get back to all folks I need to, especially Ammie (*hearts*), ali (many heartful *hugs* and thanks), Jeannie (Evil Lint! Damn good), and Malice (don't worry about neglecting me) tomorrow. But before I go, I want the whole world to know that Ammie is a wonderful, wonderful person. I LOVE YOU AMMIE-CHAN!

Nine years difference between TB Subaru and Seishirou and no one blinks an eye. Kusanagi has ice cream with a 14-year-old girl and people get disgusted. Come on, folks! He hasn't even looked at her that way. He's being a perfect gentleman. He'll wait until she's older and more matured about the situation before he puts the moves on her, only knowing the couple, I think Yuzuriha will be putting the moves on him ^__^ Then they'll get married and have a nice garden with ten spirit-dogs.

(BTW, anyone else notice that Kusanagi's eyes gets all crinkly when he smiles or laughs? It's so adorable! I can't wait get him for the day tomorrow!)

Saw Angel last night. Who on earth is this Fred girl? This better not mean less airtime for Cordelia like last year where we were subjected to endless scenes of Darla. But I still liked the episode. And I will watch Buffy tonight!

For anyone wondering why I'm not talking about Sex and the City as much, it's due to current religious crisis, I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it. Or polish up a yaoi story I owe Alison or even attempt to read "Dr. Faustus". One thing I have to say about Christiantiy is while that it saves your soul, it sure hell damns your life. And of course a couple of weeks ago, I suffered an out-of-body experience and though I was dying and going to hell and went through what Fiver would call Screaming Horrors. When I came back, I rushed to my brother and told him I wanted to be saved. Well, there is a half truth in it. I don't know. Except he told everyone I want to be baptised and now my mom is making me feel guilty and offering to give me $200 as a baptismal gift, never mind she doesn't have $200 and I pay her that amount for rent each month. I even have church members I never heard of phoning and congratulating me. Faustinian visions, that's where they get you! Though I will promise that I won't get baptise unless I really mean it. I have a mortal fear that the water will scald me once I get into it and I will came up shrieking with blisters and blood and boils breaking all over me if I'm insincere about it.

Ugh! Religious crisis! Always come during financial and family and personal and educational crisis! If I've been irritated lately, that's why. Though coming online always cheers me up. I love you folks! *hugs all* You always make me feel better. It's like my haven from all the turbulence of my real life. Thank you so much!

I got such a nice surprise in the email yesterday. *hugs Derilaan. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Bigwig pics! Wow, another Watership Down fan! And she speaks Lapine too! "Frith on a Hill!" *squeals*

Whoops. I just found the panties more appropriate for Daisuke than Keiichi. If Keiichi gets to wear the seashell bra, I think it's only fair for Daisuke to get the fuffled silk panties with the matching red bows. In fact, I insist on it! I love throughout your robot abbreviations. So what's Hinoto!?

Maria, I'm glad the house is all done and finished with! You made that armour? Wowzers. That's amazing. If you are into cosplay, I have to see pictures!

Eight years? I'm only six years older than you! *laughs* I love having Anna for an Onee-sama ^_^ In trying to cheer me up about being barely five foot tall, she said that short people were influential. "Probably not a good example, but look at Hitler." *SCREAMS WITH LAUGHTER* I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. So all you people who suspected we little people are evil, you were right. Oh, I love you, Anna! You're the best older sister a person could have! *glomps*
