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 ^_~

Keri, if you're wondering what I gave Sats-chan that would make you and Ammie happy if she read it, ask Linh what she thinks of the blond ^___^ Yes, I'm out to convert the world. And the poem was by John Donne! *squeals* The book is academic after all!!!

HATS! Fire demons and age charms and green slime and the one thing you had to say about it was hats? We so need to phone each other! Currently at school, will go home after this to see my Mommy whom I miss. I need to give Jeannie Harry Potter anyhows (when are you working at the CBS next?) and do either one of you feel like camping outside the movie theatre when the Harry Potter movie comes out?

I fixed the links in the previous post and Malice's URL as well. Thanks, Taryn. Congrats on getting that chapter of Closer out. I have some serious catching up on fanfic this weekend >_< So do you still like the Xmangas or what?

Malice, depression sucks. I hope it goes away soon and you feel better *hugs* Don't worry about email. Get to it when you want to get to it. Anyways, just because this gave me such a big kick, JET LI IN DRAG! Yes, I know I showed it to everyone already, but it never fails to crack me up and it might cheer you up momentarily.

I handed in the Blake essay. My chances of getting a good mark on it is between slim and nonexistent, closer to slim :D

Damn links aren't working! I'll work on them when I get home after my Milton presentation tonight.

Onee-sama!!! Tell Charlene the new layout is cool. Actually, I kind of like CLAMP's style back then, though I wasn't fond of how Karen looked at the beginning. I like her with curves. And yes, that picture of her is gorgeous! Arashi may be the prettiest and Yuzuriha the cutest and satsuki the coolest looking, but my Karen is the most gorgeous of them all. I can drool over that cover all day. Plus the purple nail polish! You must give me some advice on nail polish. BTW, I should let everyone know that Anna is now my Onee-sama. She has most graciously adopted me as her little sister *beams* I'm one lucky lucky girl to have such a cool older sister.

Azure informed me that she got her Christmas present early as well... DLP, Alison, possibly others, expects yours WAY before Christmas after all >_< *mutters* Stupid Canadian post. And no, I have not finished that Blake essay yet. I am working on it. Obviously. It's due today at 11:30.

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

Thursday, October 25, 2001--02:58 a.m.

Uh huh, $9.10 to groundmail something to Germany. I thought it sounded pricey, but they assured me that if I get it in before the 19th it will arrive there before Christmas. Well, it did indeed arrive there before Christmas. Stupid Canadian post! Satsuki-dear, I hope you don’t the earliness of it and yes, open the package. You can make Kerianne and Ammie happy if you read it ^___^ And I love you for more than just Kusa/Yuzu! You know that *huggle* Thanks for putting up with me on chat when I lost the fic, Honey.

Of course this means, Daisuke’s Lil’ Puppy, you may get your package a little early O.o I love Willow too, and I ADORE Giles. I’ve only seen one episode this season because I have classes on Tuesday – blah – and my friend keeps forgetting to give me the tape. But from the one episode, I think Willow would make a cool villain ^__^ Karen’s teddy name is Paul? That’s so cute! She’s such a sweetie! *gets all teary eyed again* CLAMP will be the death of us yet. And just who is Daisuke wearing those red bows on the lacey pants for? *lol* Keiichi, you, or Hinoto?. BTW, would you be terribly upset if CLAMP made Daisuke do this

ALISON! *bear hug* You know I love you ^_^ We need to fix a time on chat so we can discuss the whole Subaru thing. We haven’t settled the seme vs. uke thing with him. I don’t know how much people are thanking you for the scans and such, but it’s not enough. Especially after that darling picture of Karen on the cover. Even if the only words I can make out (Karen… Aoki… time… Hinoto) worry me to death. I hope CLAMP gives a nice S/K pic in the X calender for you ^___^ And then of course you send me a copy.

Azure! You got a layout! Damn being surrounded by people who know their computers. Blog more, girl!

*hugs and hands a Kusa plushie* Maria, hang in there! It’s horrible about the house and that realtor needs to be dunked in something smelly for that underestimation. If they gave you the wrong number, dammit, it’s their fault and not yours. You shouldn’t have to pay the difference, in my opinion. Anyways, for the chool thing, one the person at my old job went around asking workers if they prefer school to work and they all said school, so it can’t be that bad. It’s only 30 hours, but I know what you mean about the whole not-a-good-student, manic depressant, and last minute thing. Plus being older than everyone else in the class. But it’s not that bad.

*hugs and hands a Seiichirou plushie* Kerianne You hang in there too! If you have Yahoo!Messanger, let me know. You sound like you’re dealing with a lot. Aoki is a gentleman and that’s man enough for me. I loved him holding onto Karen and then letting go when he realised where his hand was. Though dammit, you, you could have left your hand on her longer! *lol* I love the sketch, espeically the idea of Seiichirou wearing the Sailor Suit. *mental image * Uh, maybe not O.o

Ali dear, I have come to the conclusion that all midterms are evil. I hope it didn’t go that badly. And yes, Asuka is evil, as it seems to always come out on weeks when I have things due. The next issue is due out during the next batch of essays. Like I can write them with the possibility of Karen and Seiichirou dying. EVIL THOUGHT! >_<

Epee, your dog is so cute! Dog person am I. Sat and Alison like cats, I know, but dogs are the real pets. As for this, do I detect some Buffyism in it?

Linh I hope you like the gift. Personally, I think it’s better than Harry Potter, and well, he’s blond ^_^ And I don’t mind happy and sparkling things after disaster. Thank God for them. I was just being a BIG baby, that’s all. Hey, you need to bug Jeannie at work more! After this midterm stuff is over (hmm, would be working on that Blake essay), I’ll go back to being a Comic Book Shoppe rat. Think they’d mind terribly if I leave the Harry Potters there for Jeannie to pick up? And Jeannie, that one Buffy episode I saw was excellent. If the other episodes were that good, it’s going to be a kick-ass season

Metamia! *hugs * I think we found the RL Subaru *l*! I wonder if the CBS has that movie… I hope everything is going well with you. University is always rough. I ran into a girl who spent the night crying because the midterms got to her. But they’re almost over, thank goodness. I’m sure you’ll do all right.

ali, I’m so glad you like Much Ado About Nothing. Beatrice and Benedick are one of my favorite couples, though right now, I’m angsting like hell over Samson and Dalila. Damn Milton. He keeps making me like the wrong people and the wrong couple.

I really miss you, you know. I swear I’ll change the blog links, but anyways, I hope everything is going all right with you. We have to write an essay on the “Marrriage of Heaven and Hell” and I keep thinking of you when I look at it. It was my introduction to it *laugh * “Anyone here read the Marriage of Heaven and Hell before? Really, where?” “An erotic fanfic.” “I see” XD

Just finished the Milton Essay. And yes, you will get an earful about Dalila soon. Now to work on the Blake. Just wanted to before I get to that I wanted to say that all those people who predicted Willow being the Big Bad Evil of Buffy Season 6 are probably right. Giles is so dead.

Wednesday, October 24, 2001--03:23 p.m.

Thanks to all the sweet people who comforted me during the whole losing fanfic when I'm wasn't suppose to be writing it ^_^ I love you all! *hugs and glomps* I'll get back to you all later, when I'm done with the Milton and Blake essays. They're due tomorrow at 11:30 AM and I haven't even gotten them written out yet. The strange thing I'm freaking out more about the latest Asuka issue than my essays. You know what I said about being content with Karen's story and I'll be fine if she dies soon because she found her redemption? Smack me! CLAMP BETTER NOT HURT A HAIR ON HER HEAD!!!

Just wanted to add that I'm really pissed off with having to share computers with 10 people. Stupid family. Stupid financial situation. Stupid fanfic.

*sigh* And I have a class tomorrow and I'm behind in all the midterm stuff. I hate school. I really really hate school. I'm about thisclose to saying, "screw it" to the midterm stuff and just failing my way out of university.

You have no idea how painful it is to lose a fic like that.

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

Sunday, October 21, 2001--02:29 p.m.

THAT DOES IT!

First I lose the fanfic. Then I lose the blog entry on the complaint of the losing the fanfic. I HATE COMPUTERS!!! YOU ALL SUCK!!! I also hate my family at this moment. Sharing a computer with 10 people suck, especially when they can't keep their noses out of my business and thus forcing me to move the fic from WP to email and I somehow lost it on the way, and AUGH! I'M SO UPSET!!! That was 3 hours of work (when I should have been studying) because my muse, after months of deadness, finally kicks in, COULDN'T YOU PICK ANY OTHER TIME OTHER THAN MIDTERMS YOU MAD BITCH! and it was 10 pages of actual decentness and I LOSE IT! I LOST EVERY SINGLE WORD!!! *cries*

And losing the original blog complaint doesn't make me feel better. If I lose this one, expect serious screaming in the next attempt.

On the bright side, Ammie wrote some wonderful things about Karen *knocks her over and huggles her* THANK YOU! You have no idea how much I need that now. I agree with everyone, especially Karen's wonderful fashion sense ^____^

Thursday, October 18, 2001--11:53 p.m.

AUGH! Scream at me! It's a disease!

But before you do, I just wanted to let the whole world know that I love Much Ado About Nothing. I love the language, I love the story, I love Benedick, I love Hero, I LOVE BEATRICE!, I love the music, I love the movie, I love the play, I love love LOVE the songs! Everytime they play the songs, I start to swoon. It's so beautiful! And when Hero unveils herself, it's just an effecting scene, the whole rebirth of it, the new, purified Hero after all she had wrong suffered, and it's just a wonderful play. I love it so much.

Ammie, it was a bitter end indeed. On the bright side, he had cool fangs^__^ And your father sound Aoki-ish, which is totally cool. "A big kiss from Daddy" That's so cute!

Okay, scream at me. I need to stay offline I need to stay offline, Bad mark on essays, Student bored during presentations, Failure on midterm, Kicked out of University, Not get into Library Science, All that Money Wasted, Won't get a job until you thirty five, UGH!

But before I go, Maria, I hope Bob knows how lucky he is, ali, I'm glad you can live peacefully with the two :) and Kerianne, I LOVE Kamui, but sometimes I do want to ask him if I can slip a quarter through his palm. Really, it has a slit all the way through and if you think I can live something like that alone, you have to be kidding! *lol* But really, I love the ruffamuffin, Alison ^___^

I'm going to stuff my room with stuffed rabbits and make a map out of it. My table will be Sadleford and my dresser Efrafa and my closet Cowslip's Unnamed Warren, where I will pile rocks and stones there for the idol rabbits, and my bed will be WATERSHIP DOWN of course. The big rabbit in the middle will be Bigwig and all the pictures of the rabbit in fifty different poses will be of Bigwig as well. I will hang a black gull from the ceiling and put a dog in the corner that will be called Nuthanger Farm.

Yes, I'm obsessed. I stayed up reading "Watership Down" for the eightiest time until dawn during my bout of insomeia. I LOVE that book.

And yes, there will be Bunny suits outside my room that visitors must wear before coming in and we all reanact the flight from Sandleford and the journey into Efrafa and tell tales of El-ahrairah and use Lapine to speak to each other, and then bring carrots for Bigwig. ^____^

I was in the worst mood, but a trip to DoSMB cheered me up. You guys rocks. In case I never told you, it was the MB that made the dreary thing called last year bearable, and this year too *group hug*

And now to bite the hand that feeds me: Okay, to Sarai and ali, I believe you both said you were Christian. Or was I delirious when I read that? I've been suffering from insomnia and bad eating habits of late, so that is possible, but if I was indeed correct, can you please explain to me how one can be a Christian and still be involved in something that involves blatant homosexuality like, say, CLAMP X?

Didn't complain about your music when you were younger? You're younger than I am! Not that I blast music loud enough to wake the neighbours, but dammit, we're still young enough that if we were in the habit of playing loud music with windows and doors open with all four boom stereos going, we would still be playing them like that.

That neighbour needs a visit by BEAST. Or better yet, Fuuma when he's in a good mood. In the meantime, *hugs Satsuki-chan*, and I will think evil thoughts about him.

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

Tuesday, October 16, 2001--11:25 p.m.

Thanks, Linh, that means a lot, especially coming from you since you're so pretty and all. I'm not upset about it anymore. Dresses are just evil things. I look fine in pants, but damn, unless you got a size 6 figure with a slim waist, a dress will make any lady look fat.

To be perfectly truthful, Maria, I do try to be in character when I do write fics. Then there are some fics where I twist the character up so much you can't recognise them, like Seishirou in this one, but I still think he worked out. And I love your Yuzuriha drunk fic. Give me the blame!!! About feedback, I know we shouldn't write for feedback, but it is nice to get some. Though I can understand your irritation with comments like, "if I get three feedback on this, I will continue." It means essentially the same thing as the much less annoying, "Is this worth pursuing?", but sounds ten times more obnoxious. Something has to be said about asking nicely.

ali, Gandalf can beat all the dragons easy, even Kamui. If you fly for your spring-break, you're one brave girl. All the best!

I think Yuuto would make a great communist when I think about it. He'll look good in uniform at least *perks up* kerianne, I can't believe someone made a comment on Glass Slipper that Shimako would never leave Aoki. Talk about uptight. It's a cute WAFFy fic, btw, and Lord knows, I love WAFF, especially one that leaves my Karen happy ^____^ Yeah, they're sappy and reveal nothing big - well, some do but most don't, but that doesn't mean they're of lesser value. I know someone who doesn't like happy fics where the tragic characters in anime got a happy ending in fandom because we didn't watch the anime for a happy ending. But we don't watch anime and read fanfic for the same reason. Well, I don't at least, and it's nice to take a break from all the angst and psychological mindteasing from anime and fics and just enjoy something easy going and happy. And then go back to angst lol.

About the whole family jazz, it's awesome that your family doesn't fight and squabble and sulk like mine. Thank goodness, for if all families were like mine, this world wouldn't go very far. Your father sounds like a darling:) So is mine, despite his hot temper and bitterness. He loves us and it shows. I think nice families are wonderful, especially if they're involved in producing Daisuke's lil puppy! but it gets on my nerves when people think loud, screaming families can't be happy. There seems to be a move lately to push all families to be like that with people wanting to make spanking illegal and saying that yelling at your kids is another form of abuse and worse, saying stuff like families who do that are damaging their children. I grew up in a violent - not abusive but we are violent - household and I'm not scarred or damanaged by it. Just because I was a kid doesn't mean I couldn't handle a bit of real life. There is such things as child abuse and neglect that shouldn't be tolerated, but we have to understand that there are some families - like me - that are more loud and bitter than others, but who love each other every bit as much as a healthy, quiet, nonviolent family.

Every family is unique, and that's what makes them special ^____^

The thing I love the most in the world: My Family
The thing I hate the most in the world: My Family
The thing that makes me the happiest: My Family
The thing that makes me the saddest: My Family
The thing that depresses amoung all the many things that depresses me: BIG TIME MY FAMILY!!!
The thing that makes me the angriest: People who want fanfic to be a direct branch of the canon; and my family
The thing that drives me nuts: Chain letters and my family
The thing I most admire: My Family
The thing I considered the best of my life: My Family
I love them dearly, which is probably why I scream and throw things at them all the time. Probably why we hurt each other so much. We are SUCH a dysfunctional family, Politcally Correctness and Dead Abby would throw a fit if she spent a day in our screaming, sulky, emotional family. Though it's the fact that my family is so human and frustrating and wrong that I love them so much. I wouldn't be able to stand a family where the father and mother is perfect and teaches good morals without rising voices or spanking. Ugh. It's too much like they're just the role of mother and father and not human. Not like my family, who despite all the breaking all the rules in the "How to Raise A Healthy Child" sort of books, loves each other more than any family could. Best of all, after one visit, my friends refuse to come into my house again :D So there's no "popular mom" or "sharing Dad" going around. I go whoring around collrecting other people's mom to cook and talk to me and treat like their daughter, while at home, I get my own Mom all to myself ^___^

I saw my cousin's copy of the wedding pics. And boy, do I need to lose weight. My mom started cursing at me when she saw the pictures. It was straight, "Dammit girl, you look like a whale!" My cousin tried to stop me from crying but a comment like, "so how far along are you with that baby?" didn't exactly help. So if I don't send my MoH pictures to people I promised, I hope you understand that I'm a little high-strung about them at the moment.

Ali, I know what you mean about people not wanting to try things because they think it's for kids and such. I wouldn't watch Buffy for the longest time because I thought it was a stupid kids show and scorned my friends who tried to get me to watch it. And then after reading too many Scully slash where Scully and female lover watched Buffy before sex, during sex, or after sex, I decided watch it and went "Wow". And mourned over missing two seasons of it. Thank God I don't share some of my friends' POVs about not wanting to read Harry Potter because it's a stupid kids' craze. Jeannie, if you need the rest of the series, let me know ^^

Why I love OOCness -- again

1. If you can improve the character, then for heaven's sake, improve the character. Case Study: Sakura and Snow's Seishirou. I'll be damn if he's even a fraction in character, but he's an improvement so that's why everyone takes him.

2. Unless you're CLAMP - and thankfully most of us aren't - you really don't have a reason to believe your Kamui is one and only correct Kamui in the world.

3. Kusanagi in Alison's "The Nature of Angels" is really off the character, but such a fascinating look at him that I enjoyed it. Sometimes has to be said about looking at a character in a new light.

4. There's so much Seishirou fics out there that if I were to read one-and-the-same canonised IC Seishirou fic over and over again, I'd scream. You get in the mood for a serious fic where he says, "Subaru, I spent the last ten years looking for you." HAHAHAHA!!! Well, I am at least.

5. CLAMP doesn't exactly give us a lot to work with in fics regarding characters. Just because they don't show Fuuma playing the tuba or doesn't mean he doesn't play the tuba so I make him play the tuba in my stories. Why not add stuff to the characters? I want my Jewish Subaru and my communist Yuuto. Why could figure out Yuuto anyways? Seriously, who could? At this point, you can tell me Yuuto is a battered wife and I'll believe you.

6. They're human, dammit, and allowed to change their emotions and POVs. So it's OOC for Arashi to suddenly cry in front of Sorata. Well, it's human too.

7. They're also highly unstable. Case study: Kamui and Fuuma and Subaru. See them a the beginning of the manga(s), see them now. These are CLAMP's character. To say a character can and will only act and think one way is so off the mark.

8. I want the characters to have fun. Why must Nataku always say "Daddy" to Fuuma? Why can't he said, "Ratface" for a change? All hail a chance for Nataku to be seme!!!

9. I want to have fun. If I want completely In-Characterness, I will read the mangas. I read fanfics to see another faucet of the characters, to see other possibilities to them and how they would act in new situation. Why I liked "Spieluhr" so much.

10. I said it once and I'll say it again: IF YOU CAN IMPROVE THE CHARACTER, THEN FOR HEAVEN SAKE IMPROVE THE CHARACTER!!!

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

Friday, October 12, 2001--11:03 p.m.

*bangs head on computer* I had a whole rant on why I love OOCness and it got deleted. Will rewrite it again. In the meanwhile, I want Arashi's One True Luv to give the peanut back to kerianne and Sarai, I want kerianne to know that Shanti Fader is actually my favorite X fanficker, followed by Alison and Malice and Monica Shin (you must all read "Glass Dreams") and that I want Mariato know I can't wait for the Karen bits in her fic, and lastly, I also want Alison to know that I completely LOVE and agree with her last post. More In Character my ass.
