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 ^_~

Buying more bubble wrap envelopes

Sure, just leave my clothes across the block so everytime I have to change, I have to travel five minutes around the street. I miss the computer. There's so many updates I want to catch up on. Thank God for Saturday.

Satsuki-chan, just to test the accuracy of the German dub: Do you know the muffin man.

Seishirou must love those penguins then. I wish I thought of that with the video, but I the disc is better. And the CD made it to Korea just fine. I love this hobby! Of all the inane hobbies I could picked... And after work I'm off to get buy maple syrup. Yes, for airmail.

Oh, oh! Something from my current obsesion: "They coexist as a phantom species, slipping into temporary vacancies between prides of lions and packs of hyenas." ("Cheetahs: Ghost of the Grasslands", National Geographic 12/1999) Isn't that pretty? Is it any wonder I love National Geographics?

You cannot believe how lazy we are

A trend amoung my friends: when we move, we never move farther than our postal code. One of my friend moved down two houses, another friend moved down the block, and a third did the insane thing of moving 45 minutes away by car, and a year later, she moved to house beside her old house. And yes, I'm joining them. I'm moving across the street to my brother's house, so if you don't hear from me, it's because our internet connection is in limbo until we get settled in.

Still Sober

I can't remember the last time I was sober for this long. It's rather enlightening actually. *pats Soren on the head*

I thought what Audrey said to Val about wanting X to go on forever was so cute that I added her to the blog links.

You've seen Tokyo Raiders??? The Cantonese/Japanese movie where the climax took place near Rainbow Bridge? I knew there was a reason you were cool. I love that movie! It was so goofy and funny with adorable characters. Plus it's fun to watch Japanese girls speak Cantonese ^_~ And Tony Leung was in it. I love Tony Leung; he was dreamy in In the Mood for Love, speaking of which, there's actually a website for that movie. I'm a pathetic sap. I love romantic stuff like that.

Actually, I perfer straight love stories to gay love stories when I really think about it. They're more romantic. It's not a slam against slash or yaoi or homosexuality. It's just how I feel. Most of the time, slash is better written and more effective than straight couple romances. Compare S/S/K/F to Miaka/Tamahome. But when straight couple romance is done well, not even TBS/S can come close to it. I just read Storm by Lady Aria and wow, I'm blown away by the romance of it all.

(Let me say right now that Lady Aria writes slashy things too, and in using her fic to justify my preferences on straight vs. gay romance, it in no ways means she feels the same way.)

I just love how Yuuto and Karen met in the rain and started to fight and it lead to one of the sweetest moments in fanfic I ever read. Something about a guy noticing how pretty a girl is and being gentle with her that just warms my heart more. And there's usually a carefree, teasing banter between people of the opposite sex that isn't between those of the same sex. My problem with slash is it's so damn angsty. There's angst in Storm too, but it seems secondary to the attraction and the UST between the two characters. Or maybe it's simply the whole "they're gay - isn't it fascinating?" mentality is gone and you can actually focus on the relationship as one person liking another instead of something that's forbidden and therefore cool. Or the fact that I love sweet, sappy things, and slash seems to be mostly about power or sex to me while straight ones seem to be about two people who find out they click and watching them develop into a couple.

Or it could just the fact that I love Karen to bits and want to see her happy with someone ^_^

Sober for a change

Satsuki-chan, first let me say that the cute, polygonal, black and white but mostly black gift you sent me came through the mail today along with the book. I'm looking forward to reading one and already making a heirloom out of the other *hugs* And I'm terribly sadden to hear about you going. You're one of my favorite people online and I'll miss you horribly. Enjoy your time off for me, okay? Take Care and do drop a line to let me know how you're doing once and a while.

LINH!!

Just came back from meeting Linh.

*screams* She's the sweetest thing! OMG, she's so cute and pretty and funny and great to hang around with. For those of you who knows Linh, she's as cool in real life as she is online. I had to so much fun with her and Jeannie and Adam, talking in the Comic Book Shoppe and walking down Chinatown ^_^

My life is complete. I finally had a chance to mourn about Seishirou's death with someone *verbally* It was sweet. lol. I wished I knew you lived nearby back in fall when the event occured, but hey, there's still Sorata ;) Ack! What an awful though!

Jeannie, I hope you get that Xavier's Cat site up. ROTFL! The wheelchair, indeed. I told my sister and she cracked up so bad. Jeannie is awesome. And Adam was funny too and a very tolerant guy ^_^

We so have to do that again. And I'm definitely making you guys watch "Tokyo Raiders." Linh, you'll find out why the name "Rainbow Bridge" is misleading. Yes, Alison, I thought it was rainbow colored >_<

I'm not that mad with you, Satsuki-chan. I am a gracious person after all. *grin and hugs*

Okay, better go. Need to walk my sister and her friends to the bus stop.

Nothing in particular

I saw Shrek last night and I highly recommand it. Even the cynical boys in front of me who mocked it at the beginning of the show came out of the theatre yelling praises about it. The story is formulaic, but it's so much fun to watch it unfold, especially with such wonderful characters and wry, intelligent humour. I need to get the video when it comes out, plus some tubes of Shrek's special toothpaste ^_~

I had an awful afternoon at work today, but it was nothing a chat with a very good friend couldn't fix. Thanks Honey!

Meta-chan, I am so sorry for cutting you off like that during our last chat. We barely got to talk. I'll try to catch you again online. I'm thrilled to have met you too and I'll definitely look you up next time I visit my relatives. If your mom can make me like tofu, I'll believe in anything.

Malice, does my eyes deceive me? Are you planning on more S/K-UST with Jenni? Bring it on!

Share a big hotel room, stacked floor to ceilings with OVAs and movies, boxes of okonomyaki and pizzas in front of us, tickets to a a Pierrot or GLAY concerts in our pockets, and getting ready to visits all the "X" sites where this character met that character and this character did this and that character died ^_^ Sounds good, Alison?

Oh, made a startling realisation: For those of you who thinks Satsuki-chan is a nice person, she isn't. Polygonal my foot. You're mean! XÞ

Lastly, about sites like this, come on, you're going to let a small group of people decide what "good fanfic" is? Please. Make a recommendation page, not a page where "good fanfic" is determined by your preferences and biases.

Subaru with brains and a spine

It took me all my morning break and half my lunch break but I finally got added the link to a new group in my clique section. Kudos to Malice for giving us a place where we can say, "Screw it" to all Subaru as a pathetic, floppy uke. He is NOT Kakyou, nor he is just Seishirou's plaything. He's got a mind of his own, and whether he ends up with Seishirou and Kamui, all I ask is that he doesn't cling to them like a leech.

ASUKA'S IN!!!

*sends a Kusa-plushie to Satsuki-chan* And I totally agree with you on sending parcels to other countries. I'm addicted to it. Of all the hobbies I could have picked up, THAT one is expensive as hell! Airmail of course. Too much bubble wrap. Alison, if this doesn't make it through to you okay, I'm chopping down cherry trees.

And check out the updates for the latest Asuka issue!! NOW. I won't give any spoilers except to say I'm greatly agitated and I want to hug all Kamui-Sorata-Arashi.

I'll planning on staying offline tonight and possibly tomorrow. My parents are ticked off with me for spending four times the amount of time I'm suppose to be spending on the computer yesterday - damn YNchat - so I'm stuck cleaning the house for the next couple of days. But I'm still going to see Shrek tonight and hopefully chat about it tomorrow morning before I go to work ^_^

This is the House that Jack Built

It started with me snickering about blogs to Satsuki-chan, calling them useless and stupid and everything blogless people calls us. Of course, Satsuki-chan, being wiser and smarter than I ever will be, went out and got one. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have the courage to put up one myself, despite the fact that I wanted one badly and despite the fact that I wanted to join cliques (with a most gorgeous redblack layout) and have an URL I could call my own.

My getting a blog made Alison get one, which probably made her sympathetic when my first blog layout - horrible thing it was! - crashed and destroyed all my links. Alison, bless her dear darling heart, gave me this new wonderful layout and added Metamia to the blog links, who I had never the pleasure to meet before.

Metamia, meanwhile, goes through Satsuki's blog and finds mine, notices that I have a link to hers and we start talking. We find out we're both from Ontario. So I ask her if she knows what poutine is. She has yet to answer, but Linh told me *she* did. And from there I go on to find out that we live pretty damn close. Freaky. That would be my first heart attack of the weekend.

I got my third yesterday. (My second had to do with some crappy Canadian postal service.)

Anyways, For some reason, the introduction of Metamia meant the introduction of Yahoo!Messenger chat, which I joyfully joined, much to the woe of my neglected house and family. So I'm getting sinfully addicted to YMchat, having the time of my life with Alison and Satsuki and Azure and Ari and Maria and of course Meta-chan. And while I was chatting with Metamia last night, through some inane act of Providence, we find out she went to school with my cousin!!!!

This is where I screamed and yelled and ran around the house. ^_~ That was hilarious! I haven't had such an eventful weekend online since Krycek kissed Mulder in "The Red and the Black." Anyways, I need to seriously thank Satsuki and Alison and Linh for it. Anyone who can see the merits of blogs deserves a cookie. ^_^

I took up kareoke again!!! So it's breaking glass, damaging eardrums and scarring my listeners for life all over again. To all of you who don't live near enough to hear me howl and bark, thank your lucky stars you escaped.

Linh, you're not that lucky. *gapes back* OMG, you live like half an hour away from me! And here I was thinking I would never find a CLAMP fan nearby. That is so cool. We must get started on those stalking session at once.

Satsuki, I'm glad you liked it. Alison, eighty meters of bubble wrap next time. And have you heard of a Chinese song about a bird that can't fly high?

Odds and Ends

Did a bit of updating on the blog. Getting more and more computer literate. People won't be able to call me Leeka for long ^_^

Added a few more favorite links to the favorite sites section, and Charlene's name to the Onnatachi link. Sorry for taking so long to do that, Charlene. You may beat me for it. +_+ And Anna and Alicia, I will get to your emails soon.

When I said I was going to get back to all the emails on Friday Satsuki-chan, I meant next Friday >_< But I did send you an email so let me know if you got it. Thanks for the cookies and teas *hugs* Here's a lemon meringe Kusanagi just for you.

Linh, I live half an hour away from Hull and an hour and a half away from Montreal so we do get poutine off you guys. It's one of the highlights of living in Ottawa ^_^ BTW, can you tell me if Beaver Tail is rightfully Quebec's as well?

The new introduction page to Prettiest Lavender" looks great, Azure-chan ^_^

Meta-chan, my cousin goes to the "Party School" of Canada. He's in premed and from what he told me, there seems to be enough quiet and privacy to study and do well. He really enjoyed his first year so I'm sure you will too.

No one better be harrassing you for your opinions,Alison. BTW, I think Christians are so shove-it-down-your-throat because they don't want people to go to hell. Many of them are some of the hardest working, struggling, enduring people I've met. If I were ever to go back to Christianity, it's because those people touch me deeply, not because God did. I have issues with God's orders about killing whole families as well, amoung many other things.

So now you and Satsuki-chan, both seen Shrek. I am so behind!

THEY JUST CHANGED THE STUPID LAYOUT OF HOTMAIL AND ALREADY I'M GETTING JUNK MAIL!! Junk mail is just an inch lower than Chain Letters and you should all know by now how I feel about Chain Letters *digusted look*.

And will someone tell me if a women is so miserable with her children, why she keeps having them? I would think after the first attack of suicidal tendacies and any urges to kill my baby, I would think twice about bringing in another child. Five kids in seven years. And she was in and out of the nuthouse! What the hell were they thinking? You know, if we're going to neuter dogs and cats and cows, we better neuter a few humans as well.

Yes, Alison dear, you better be working on those fics. *looks threatening* I'm looking forward to them ^_^

Even if God didn't exist

Blame it on my Puritan upbringing, Satsuki-chan. I'm no more qualified to tell others what's the truth of the universe or if God exist (you really know how to bring in the contraversial topics, don't you ^_~?) than any other person. Having been raised on the Bible and the concept of Heaven, Hell, salvation, sin, Christ, discipleship, etc., I have a lot harder time accepting other schools of thoughts than most people it seems, even though I left that religion years ago. As Nicole Kidman once said, "Once a Catholic, always a catholic." We may not believe or accept the religion we were raised in, but the influence of it is impossible to shake off. My parents still even slip into their own Buddhist and mytholgical mindframes at times.

Of course my problem is that I still believe, but I did find your points on the Atztects, Troy, and Kreta rather relieving and really good points. They had to be good points to be something of a relief. It was always an outrage to me that God would punish these other religions, which were just as good and valid and spiritual as His, with devoted people who would die for it. And to brush things as fairies and ogres and ghosts off as "work of the devil" is an abhorance.

Mind you, not all Christians think this way. Re-reading L.M. Montgomery for the eighth millionth time, you see what a big role fairies, ghosts, second sight, and other supernatural stuff played in her stories. Anne Shirley did say to Diana once, "Don't give up your belief in fairies!" But at the same time, Montgomery's books are very Christian and very "conservative".

I guess it's the upbringing. I was raised from the time I was two that if it wasn't God, it was the devil and I will go to hell for believing in it. I believe that even if I ever manage to shake off my belief in Christianity, I will never be able to shake off that that God/notGod=devil mentality. And unfortunately, you can't reason with what's already imprinted in someone's mind from their childhood, no matter how good the reasoning.

But seeing how everything seems based on upbringing, sentiments, and *my* perspective of the world, it doesn't mean that unicorn didn't exist or that dead roam amoung us in forms of ghosts. So I agree with you in saying we shouldn't dump junk in the ocean for the sake of the mermaids.

Disjointed Silver Lining ^_^

So Satsuki-chan saw Shrek. That now means I have to see Shrek. And seeing how I want to read the rest of her blog entry soon, I'm going to have to take my niece to the threatre this coming Tuesday (Tuesdays are the cheapest) to see it with me. Few people can get me off my lazy ass and to the video store/movie theatre like she can for some reason ^_~

And another reason why I suck: I don't know a damn single seiyuu. My anime knowledge leaves much to be desired for. But with all the noise over knowing who they are, I better start knowing. Thanks to Alison for putting them up in Dream of Sakura. It's definitely one of the best CLAMP sites online.

Aw, Anna is so sweet! Really, the girl is awesome, with great taste (she likes the Anne books) and is one of my inspirations for writing any Sorata/Arashi fic. And your writing ain't so shabby either, Miss Chung. Get yourself back to Hong Kong soon! Tell Charlene I like the new layout too and of course the picture of Karen is pretty. Alison did my layout, btw. She rocks.

There's also another Alison (called Ali for short) linked to this page now, and I have to say this about the Alisons: I didn't think you could do much with my alias, but they proved me wrong. I don't know which is worse, Likachu or Livin' la Vida Lika, but they both cracked me up. Thank God they don't use it often though.

Metamia, you *must* tell me how your pimping service works one day. There's a couple of character I wouldn't mind having for a day or two. And I'm thrilled you're from Ontario too! *happy jig* Do you know what poutine is, by any chance?

And that folks, is my lunch hour, running overtime and beautifully incoherent. I will get back to work now.

Why Lilyeka Sucks

To everyone who I owe emails, beta readings, and summaries to, I swear, I'll get it to before Friday >_< (well, the emailing at least.) Sorry about the wait. I suck as a general human being and you are all allowed to hang me upside down and beat me with a dull shinken.

To all hotmail users, has the layout of your account changed? Mine looks cluttered and exhausted and I hate it. Of course, I hate all changes in email account layout for the first month and then don't mind it afterwards. But while I'm still in that prelimary month, I wonder if anyone is annoyed with it as I am.

To belately answer Satsuki-chan's question about why people believe in God and not goblins, I guess it's because there are a lot of proofs that God does exist, but there isn't much proof about goblins and fairies. I, for one, believe God does exist -- I simply don't like Him and will probably go to Hell for my dislike. But there's tons of documents about stuff in the Bible happening, lots of archeological finds that prove that Jericho walls fall down and King Hezekiah lived, accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, and most importantly, lots of current meterological and technological phenonemons that the New Testament predicted will happen before the End of the World. Of course it could just be my Christian upbringing that's linking everything to the Bible, but what a strong influence it is. My problem with goblins and fairies is that I was raised that supernatural does exist, but if it isn't God, it's probably the devil. So even if someone tells me they saw a fairy, I would automatically think it was the devil playing tricks.

Sometimes, I believe being brought up Christian killed my imagination (not to mention instilled a fear of damnation in me.) My mom was luckier: she was raised Buddhist with folklore mythology and therefore got a chance to live with ritual magic, delicious superstitions, and moon fairy princesses. Sure, she convered to Christianity, but at least, she had that sense of mystery and spirituality doesn't come from a dictatorial divinity.

I was blog reading during my break today at work and when I went to Malice's blog, one of my co-workers walked by +_+ She was like, "wow, what was that?" So much for professionalism. I'm happy it wasn't one of our clients, although that would have fun. But I love the layout, Malice. Don't change it for a while. I think the Empress looks hot.

General Messiness

Sorry about the rantiness of the last post. I'm something of a ranter. Wish I could cure it, but I'm working at calming it down at least.

And to anyone that was actually noticing that the entries kept changing, I'm big on revising and editing. My first copies of anything sucks, so I have to keep chaning it. Basically, if you see something pop on in this blog, wait half an to an hour and it should be the final thing. >_< I'll improve, I promise.

On a lighter note, check out the layout of EoV!!! Suzu outdid herself, especially with having two of my favorite scenes together. ^__^ It's so pretty. And Alison's blog got a face life too. It's the first time I saw a manga guy with white curly hair. lol. I love the red color background and the new picture (must look for Tokyo Requiem), though I still miss Kamui. After reading her last blog entry, I think Metamia is one of the nicest people I've met.

Okay, I'm off. Got to ready for Sex and the City ^^

Finally, something pertaining to the title

I know, I said I was going to write a HUGE rant on Bigwig and never got around to it. I ran into problems with the spoilers part. Having just giving Watership Down to all friends, all slow dimwits (said affectionately of course) who can't seem to finish a book within a year - not you of course, Satsuki-chan -, I didn't want to spoil the book for them. And seeing how Bigwig presents 3/4 of the tension in the book, talking about him would give a lot of the book away if I were to go into specifics. So I'll stay general: Bigwig is definitely the bravest, toughest, most hot tempered rabbit there. I love a rabbit who's hot headed. And when he's as loyal as Bigwig, the hot tempered-ness is only makes him more adorable and admirable. Think Saiki with something of a sense of humour ^__^ There's lots I can say about the guy, but not wanting to give away spoilers, I'll just leave it at the fact that the rabbit all around kicks ass, and I mean that literally. If Bigwig was a human being, I would so jump that guy.

And speaking of jumping guys, Sex and the City is on tonight. *claps hand delightedly* Last week's episode was hilarious. God, Charlotte. I didn't think *that* was possible! And only Carrie can make me want to wear gold sequinned bikini tongs. lol. But Samantha is the one I'm mad over. And she might be kissing a female this season ^^

I'd love to see more homosexuality on TV. For political reasons, yes, but mostly because I get a kick out of seeing girls kiss and guys makes passes at each other. I think the acceptance of homosexuality is making some leeway in North America, but like the death penalty and abortions, it will always remain a touchy topic.

Though one argument I don’t ever want to see pertaining to homosexuality is “it’s in the person’s genetic make-up.” It’s the worst justification for homosexuality, and the worst argument against it. Let's face it, normal never did equal good. Lots of normal stuff, like wanting to kill and hurt people (which is very normal) is wrong, and lots of not-normal stuff, like collecting toe-jam, isn't wrong. As for the idea that something can't be wrong because someone was born that, what if someone’s genetic code makes him attracted to little children? It doesn't make it right.

I wish we could argue homosexuality on a moral basis, not on a genetic or what’s-normal basis. For me, *the act itself* isn’t wrong. What’s so wrong with loving someone of your own gender? That should be the real issue, not is it normal or not. Unfortuantely, society is so mucked up on standards it's probably the only hope the gay community has to be accepted. Such a shame the biggest reason homosexuality will be accepted is because the person can't help but embrace the act. I rather homosexuality be accepted because it's as beautiful and right as heterosexuality, with all the possibility in finding fulfillment in the person you love, no matter what the gender.

So until someone can tell me why my desire to have an orgy with Samantha Jones, Cordelia Chase, and Karen Kasumi is more wrong than my desire to have an orgy with Reed Diamond, Subaru, and Kamui (and no, God saying it’s wrong isn’t good enough), I've got a fantasy with Cordelia to work on. And of course, the crossbow’s in it ^_^

WAAAAIIIII!!!! CORDELIA!!!!

*screams* ANGEL WAS SO GOOD TONIGHT! OH MY GOD, IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! I LOVE THIS SHOW, I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE CORDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELIA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

I was out of the Angel loopey for a while but I'm back in with a vengence and it is GOOD! My God, the last few episode have been leaving me jumping in front of the TV wanting more, more more! And today had to be the best one of them. It centered around Cordelia and you all know how I feel about Cordelia. She's my Karen of the Buffyverse. She was simply fabulous in this one. Give the girl a crossbow! Wow. And she looked so damn good. I can't believe how far her character has come. She goes from being self-absorped, bitchy bimbo to able-to-kick-ass and help others demon fighter. And her scenes with Harmony were just riveting, especially the crossbow one. Ah, Cordelia with a crossbow -- WHAT a vision! She was awesome tonight. And heartbreaking. I felt so bad for her at the end, but not the very end, where the writers turned it around in the usual Cordelia fashion. She's so easy to cheer up ^_^ But I see trouble for Angel and Wesley in the future. No slash there, maybe?

And speaking of slash, I'm all for Cordelia and Harmony. They're look gorgeous together. There was a bedroom scene that was hilarious. *grin* I love Cordelia telling Willow about it. WILLOW WAS IN IT! *screams* I love it when they crossover like that. It was only a phone call but it had to be the best piece of dialogue in the Buffyverse all year. I couldn't stop laughing. It's the second time Cordelia called Willow. *That*, my friends, is one relationship I would love to see grow.

Okay, I'm calm. I just really loved the episode and I really love Cordy. Can you imaging my reaction when Karen makes an appearance in the Asuka issue? And you thought the reaction with Subaru reappearance would be loud! Thought trust me, I will scream fevertly there too, of course. SUBARU-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!! *_*

Karen-wise, I'm happy to have found another Karen fan. *does happy jig* Metamia, you rock! As does Ammie-chan for *finally* taking my quiz seriously, even if she is sharing an apartment and /naked jello twister!/ with my darling Satsuki-chan and we still have to straighten out who's going to marry the lovely Alison Koh. But I'll leave that for another day. Right now, I need to get some sleep. And dream about Cordelia no doubt ^____^

Me showing off my ability to link

Go here and click on "*NEW* Picture from NEWTYPE August 2001". *evil cackle* I think I fall in love with Kamui more and more each day. ^_^ What a wonderful picture! Thanks to Alison for scanning it.

Here's some really gorgeous S/K smut And the overall webpage is a dream. There's lots of S/S, K/K,and K/F smut too, for those who like them, all excellent. Definitely need to add a site to my favorite website list. If only they'd do Karen smut as well.

Speaking of Karen, don't you love that picture on the top left? The expression on her face is so like her: warm and friendly and fun. And the high heel (she's so sophisticated!) on her finger adds a nice light touch. A most appropriate picture for my blog, even if the title is dedicated to Bigwig. ^_^

I'm a narcissis

So I took this disorder quiz (in which I have to agree with Satsuki-chan in that it is discriminatory towards loners) and I found out I'm narcissistic. NARCISSISTIC??????? I am *not* narcissistic! Well, except for maybe getting this blog *sheepish grin*

Oh well. The quiz isn't to be taken seriously. If the psych major thinks the questions are banal, then they are. And they are! What kind of a stupid question is "Do you feel a yearning for acceptance among your peers?" Well, duh!

Now if someone can tell me what's the deal with people who over abuses italics, capital letters, brackets, and dashes, I'd be grateful. And give me a cure while they're at it.

Britney's sunk to all new low on the "Young and the Restless" and she's sunk way beyond scum time and time again. But this is really cutting the cake. (And just watch me two weeks later saying she's really cutting the cake then.) The girl's malicious as hell. My mom believes she petty incarnate, and she is, but who can blame her? Put me in a situation where people are ignoring me and turning around to walk the other direction when they see and watch how catty I get. Notice how bitches (with the exception of Cordelia) are usually put in less pleasant situations then their nonbitch counterpart. My best example: Miaka and Yui. Number 1 reason why the petty one is always more interesting to watch.

Of lookalikes and wedding bloodshed

Currently on my break at work, having trying to sort out an interlibrary loan that came late. The person who wanted it looks so much like Dana Scully I had to get someone else to help her because I was so close to cracking up. God, what a fright. To look up and see the auburn curls and bright blue eyes and sharp nose and THE SAME FREAKING LIPS! as the woman who stole my heart at fifteen. LOL. It was too funny. I kept staring in disbelief and I think she noticed. I'm still chuckling over it.

And for anyone wondering about the wedding I went to over the weekend, other than a certain little embarassing moment, it was great fun. Though I have wonder about the pictures they choose on those Chinese kareoke. One song had a clip from a movie (I think it was a movie, and probably a Hong Kong one since the song was Cantonese) where this man comes into a church wedding and shots the bride and groom *shrieks with laughter at the memory of it* I hope the guy singing the songs realises we were laughing at the incredibly inappropriate-for-a-wedding images on the screen and not him.

Ah, Hong Kong movies and weddings. My friend in RL watches a lot of them and told me about one where an ex-wife of the groom marches into the church with a shotgun and shoots the groom before he says "I do." So he and the bride were never married and she didn't get the insurance money that went to the ex-wife instead. And the real funny thing that had me howling was the idea that the groom, since he couldn't speak and say, "I do" (must have gotten shot in the throat) tried to put the ring on the bride's finger but died before he could. Hell, if I was his fiancee, I would have grabbed his hand and make the ring go on. Or better yet, get him to nod his head as an "I do." But I guess if he got shot in the throat, that wouldn't have worked well. =D

WHY ALISON KOH KICKS ASS

There's TONS of reasons - I don't just ask anyone to marry me after all - but definitely, this layout is one of them. We got the cool lettering for the title and beautiful picture of Karen. After a rather lousy weekend, this was a big cheer up. So allow me to fall postrate at Alison's feet and worship her for a few moments. This girl seriously rocks! Thank-you thank-you thank-you so much for the layout! *hugs* Now allow me to dance around crazily for a few moments. ^_^

And I'll thank Satsuki-chan for cheering me up as well, and especially for lending me Hokuto-chan who'll replace my missing muse until I can find her. I'll make good use of her. ^_^ I'm glad to hear Fujitaka is doing a good job with tuturoing you. He better live up to his reputation.

New layout means a fresh start for the blog. I'll treat it more blog-like from now on. Give it some sense of organisation. *goes back to dancing and admiring the new look of her page*

I love this layout, I love this layout.
