HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST OLDER SISTER IN THE WORLD! *Hearts* Have an awesome 16th year, you infant you, one of luck, success, happiness, and good advice on boys and make-up because I need more of those XD Hope you got lots of cake for your birthday. Cake makes the world go roooooound.

Yes, I'm still in exams, and yes my head and wrists are still killing me, and I guess spending three hours downloading videoclips two nights ago of Annabeth's smile didn't help. I'm such a slave to that smile. She's not really pretty but when she smiles, Good-Night! Oh yes, I did see the X-Files yesterday.
*SHRIEKS IN INTOLERANCE!* IT WAS A FREAKING *DEATH* EPISODE OF A SEVEN-YEAR-LOVE! And all I could think was that Doggett has his arm around Reyes (I am such a hopeless Dripper). Do you have any idea how much that sucks? I'm so furious, they so deserve better than that, my darlings, my sweet, noble, unselfish darlings. I wanted to sob if it happened but those writers screwed it up so bad that I can't even give them that respect. Spotsy, Vince-boy, and Shibes, you all suck *going to cry anyways for her darlings*

Yup, Jeannie, there was an earthquake two days ago, now it's snowing, SNOWING, out there. Actually, I slept through the earthquake, but my ceilings bear the scar of the rumblings and my poor in-law thought someone crashed their car into our house. Wowzers. And how is the Star Wars dress coming along? btw, I love your new layout. I've been loving your last few layouts, but this one is especially nice.

Kim, I love it when someone agrees with me. Or I agree with them. Either way, that's the exactly the point on non-canon pairing. Mikes sounds awesome, but does he write sonnets to girls he likes? (No, I don't, but it'll fun to find someone who does.)

Ammie, since you asked, here's probably my favorite post on atx. It's ROTLMAO. I wiped tears of laughter when I read it. Ah, Laura, how I love your posts.

Btw, am studying King Lear at the moment and I think Kent is hot, and very much like Doggett ^^ I am so for the noble, good, relentless man who stops at nothing to bring forth good. To quote Reyes, "you're faithful, you're dependable, you're without guile, and you're comfortable to be around." My normo side is crying because of the dripper I have become XD

So I missed the bus by ten seconds and decided to walk for fifteen minutes to another bus stop since the idea of waiting half an hour for a bus to show up ticked me off. But those were fifteen minutes of exercise much needed, so I thanked God for that. I still have some resentment and doubts with God,but for the most part, He's awesome. Really patient and understanding, and okay, frustrating, especially in his answer to Job's suffering, but I think I'm getting the hang of what He was trying to say. And Ottawa had an earthquake today, something we haven't had in decades, and I kind of freaked out, but I'm learning to trust Him. ali, thanks for your support :D

I like Ammie and Keri because I can gush about girls to them. It's not easy being a female who has a voracious appreciation for them. I can't gush about Karen, Cordelia, Lockley, Annabeth Gish/Reyes (my latest *THUD*) with most girls because they're not interested in girls. And I can't gush about them with guys because guys gush differently. In that, they don't gush at all. And I'm a girly girl when it comes to gushing. I like the squealing, the screaming, the "DOESN'T ANNABETH HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE?" Of course I realize it could be that I have a very weird taste when it comes to people, but anyhows, Ammie-who-Rocks gushes with me on various babes and I love her for it *hugs* And yes, you must watch Chunking Express. That's an awesome movie!

Kim, sometimes the most probable and in-character stories are the ones between non-canon pairing because the author is forced to make a point, come up with a plan to get the two together, and make it all work.

Me&Fandoms: Having come back from re-posting on atx after falling back into The X Files (which is one show I don't need a fandom to love), all I've got to say about the CLAMP community is that I [HEART] the people here. The posts on atx are amazing and I'm going to link a bunch of them because they're too funny to miss, but for the most part, I feel like a complete outsider there. My going *THUD* on Annabeth/Reyes seems out-of-place. They gush like adults, I gush like fangirls, and never the twain shall meet. I used to hate atx, but it's actually a great place. Just not for me. I'll stick with Alison's Sakura Board, the place where I can really let loose and be a completely irrelevant, irreverent fangirl.

Hey Malice, how's the teeth thing? I haven't heard from you a in while. Hope you're doing all right. And play lots of video game. It keeps your mind off the pain.

Taryn, I don't know how anyone could have thought you were a goth. Polyester is so the way to go.

Oh yes, ANGEL IS TOTALLY OFF HIS FREAKING ROCKER! My feelings for the ending are perfectly unjustified, but Rrr! Growl! Hiss!

Finish three exam, one to go, in a unversity that does not have air conditioning. Not even the library has it, if you can believe the cheapness of an institution I paid $6000 to. It was hell writing an exam in the heat. My brain was so fried. And people wonder why I prefer winter to summer. I better not have the same heat thing when I write my next exam, especially since it happens to be the course that I managed to screw up royally in by not handing in an assignment that was due 30% of the final grade >_<

I would be freaking out only I'm in a most gratifying X-Files moment. I love the show, I love Agent Reyes. Women in authority, I'm a sucker for them. She's about the only female Scully gets along with, which is enough for me to want to marry her, but she's also goofy and funny without being stupid, say, like Agent Harrison (Blech!) Plus she has a great wardrobe and the NICEST apartment. Yup, I love people for their nice apartment. I also still love Doggett, but he's male. I know he can't help being male, but you all know how I love the female race.

Speaking of X-Files, I stopped watching the show two years after after being lukewarm to season 6 and hating season 7. How was I suppose to know season 8 was that good? Anyhows, at least when I had enough, I stopped watching. There are really pathetic people who still watch the show just so they can go online and tell everyone how much it sucks now. Think of people still checking out Alison's website and buying the manga after they claim X sucked after Seishirou's death just so they can go on their blog and MLs and talk about how much everything sucks. To all them whiners who live solely for the point of bitching and insulting something, GET A FREAKING LIFE! There's a difference between complaining about things truly sucking and hoping they get better and staying around just to go on and on about how everything bites because the creator didn't stoop down to please you. You look incredibly childish (and imagine the smirk on my face if I find out they're *married*), so just stop watching and get another obsession.

There was another rant I wanted to do. I always have all these rants going on my head that I want to treat you guys to but once I turn on pitas, I forget them. I'll write it down when I remember. Social blog then too. In the meantime, back to studying in a hot room. BAH!

I think now that I made a conscious decision to give God what I owed Him, I actually feel not so bad :)

Malice, you're the only other person I know who kept her tooth after it was removed. Good for you! The nerves dangling at the end is really cool, but unfortunately they shrink and disappear within a couple of years *sigh* I hope the recovery process is going well. Did they give you any coloured painkillers?

Maria, the SCA sounds cool and I hope all the sewing goes well. The costumes were cool in the last picture you showed me.

Alison, CONGRATUALATIONS! She knows what I'm talking about ^_^

SPOILERS FOR THE X FILES:
I enjoyed 1. blood exploding inside the car 2. hole through the sherriff ^^ 3. Dead cat Spanky's autopsy on the table 4. Birthing pains of trying to bring a scorpian into the world OUCH! 5. Pyro! "You're just trying to scare me." *snap* "Scared yet?" *flick* *WHOOSH* And do I mean WHOOSH! One of the best WHOOSH I've seen in a long time ^__^ Let's bring back Spanky the cat!

*sigh* This is a difficult post for me to write. I sinned against God years ago and I'm still sinning against him and my brother is suffering for it. It's all my fault. One should never ever make a deal with God and then break it. I'm going to keep it now. It's going to be hard, especially since I love you all so very much, but I can't let my brother suffer any longer. And I've got to be strong for once in my life. God forgive me for being a coward and a liar.

Sont venus chez moi pour me serrer la pince

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT EPISODE OF THE X-FILES! Doggett and Reyes kick ass. Now I'm really sad they're ending the X-files this year because those two rock. Doggett is one of the most intelligent and decisive man on TV. I love Mulder but he would have been useless in today's episode. Agent Harrison needs to be chopped up for fish bait. I kept wanting to smack her and her big-eyed-studpity over and over again. The real Leyla Harrison who was she was named after was a real doll though. Hey, Leyla, still missing you. The best line of the episode was definitely, "LIKE HELL HE DOESN'T!" Agent Reyes, can I marry you?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG MIKEY BOY! You’re still young :D

My sister when seeing Kyo in KR Cube and embryo: AUGH! HE'S UGLY! HE'S SO UGLY!
But she was much impressed with the quality of the videos as I was. We equate DeG videos with cheap high school playing in basement with a camera watching from the ceiling. Alanis Morrisette’s “Head over Feet” seems like an Emmy winning compared to them. So when Taryn asked me if I wanted any videos, I was thinking, “Hehehehe, no.” But they’re actually good! Somewhere between Guaze and Macabre, Dir en Grey got money and actually spent it on their videos. I love KR Cube for having trenchcoats, guns, animal bills, girls in fishnet stockings, Toshiya and Kaoru looking fine, and Kyo getting shot. Poor Kyo. My sister can’t stand the sight of him. He does look funny singing in embryo (I love the B&W and the explosions, but what’s up with the floaty stuff?), but he can’t help the way he looks. Answers my sister: Oh yes he can! She loves his voice though.
Leaving Hope is a gorgeous song, btw. Thanks Taryn. You’re a most generous person when you’re in a sharing mood :D

Wondering why Subaru could be a Sakurazukamori when he's not in the clan? How Setsuka knew about him? Why there's a generation skip in the Sumeragi head? Read this fic by Alison. Really well done.

SUPER GLOMP. I hadn’t had that much fun online as when I chatted with you two days ago. You have wonderful taste in TV shows, love, and I wish you were here in Canada so we can watch Buffy, Angel, Sex and the City, and X-Files together. That’d be heavenly! And if you come here with a wig, trenchcoat, and a gun, I’ll tackle you so fast you won’t see me coming XD You should see Chunking Express. It’s one of the loveliest movies I ever saw. We’ll watch that too. I want to see that Rabbit-Daisuke picture too. Ammie got me loving Daisuke by showing me how similar he is to Bigwig and the Doggett XD Did I mention I also find stubbornness sexy?

Now I really want to get Easter pudding. Just to say my friend in Finland is sending me shit through the mail :D As for the slash thing, it reminds me a fic I once got into an argument with because it was about a guy going to bar and seeing his friend dancing with another girl. When this guy sees his friend with another girl, he found her hot and since she’s been having casual encounter with girls when what she really wanted was that guy, they were able to go home and lived happier ever after. The author called it f/f slash. I said, NO FREAKING WAY, especially since the only sex scene was a straight one. Anyways, I agree with you. If it’s really a girl, it’s not slash. Unless it’s another girl hitting on her.

I have four Karen fanart, three from the Ultimate Babe, and one from this funky gal. Thank you both again ^_^ And I’m glad you like the S/S one I gave you Kim, and thanks for the Saiyuki pics.

A fan at a Anita Mui concert went up to give her a box of chocolate saying, "you should gain some weight." Anita Mui replied: “Sure, I’ll gain some weight, you’ll lose some weight.” *snickers * I love Miss Mui. I wish she could have said that to my mother, who picks on me for being overweight and my in-law for being under. If you want to pick at someone for being too thin or too fat, I hope they bite you back about your weight and see how you like it.

Lika frolicked in the snow at Friday, April 12, 2002, 05:05 p.m.

LOL. I'm mentally stable, but having fun ^_^ It's been a while since I've enjoyed couples this much. Ever since Mulder and Scully went Schmoopy, couples just haven't been fun to watch. Current kicks are Giles/Jenny, Doggett/Reyes. The throw-her-into-bed remark is just me going nuts over a couple. Crude, but four years with X-Philes will warp someone's mind much as far as expressions go. Very few couples ever get that response out of me. I think the grand total is four counting the above two.

Of course my taste in couples, just like my taste in crushes and movies, leaves much to be desired, but it's predestined and one cannot argue with predestination. I also blame Laura Capozzola, whose Doggett/Reyes's posts on atxf had me howling last night. She's the one who really made me a fan of them. Her yells that Doggett not turn into a monk like Mulder are priceless.
She's also right about UST, in case anyone reading the post below is rightfully confused about the UST comment. It's not that I dislike UST, but onscreen, one can only play around with UST for so long before it becomes "Schoompy." Schoompy is a phrase used on alt.tv.x-files to describe a relationship where things go unresolve to the point of looking ridiculous.

Case Study: Mulder/Scully. Relationship was fine until season 4. They should have gone romantic then and with that out of the way, concentrate on the stories and the cases. It would have been better for them to have a romantic relationship that we seldom saw and work on their cases, instead of teasing us with things like kisses on the forehead and camera coming close to show fingers touching and dream kisses. Instead of decisive adults, they look like monks being tempted.

Either that or drop the kisses on forehead and phrases like "you are my touchstone". Couple can work and flirt together without becoming lovers, but doing and saying things like that are more than just flirting and it looks dumb outside a romantic relationship. They should have left out that kind of UST and kept the UST they had for the first three years, which was natural and touching and worked within the context of their relationship. You have no idea how much I hated "Amor Fati", "all things" and the movie, which the only notable thing about them was schmoop. Bah.

I take back what I said about UST within CLAMP. They handled it well and there's been no schoompy stuff yet. Let's hope there never will be.

Lika frolicked in the snow at Wednesday, April 10, 2002, 02:10 p.m.

Stupid Shakespeare essay (but it's the last one for the year) keeping me offline for the next day or two. Will come back afterwards with a vengence, tons of replies, emails, and lots of thoughts and comments on nooky. The last time I wanted this many people to have sex with each other was in January, 1998, when X Files fanfic was having everyone screwing everyone and the lovely phrase "NC-17" was running rampant online. Ah, NC-17, I miss ya. We need more nooky in the CLAMP community. Dragons aren't having enough nooky. I say they forget about the end of the world and get do nooky for the rest of the lives. Because, boy, do I ever miss saying, "THROW HER ON THE FREAKING BED AND F**K HER HARD!"

(Warning: most of my nooky comments will about X Files and Buffy, but there'll definitely be some about X and a complaint about CLAMP and UST. UST is evil, folks. Forget meaningful looks and touches and deep conversation and just get to the sex. Oi, how am I ever suppose to finish this essay with this mind?)

Lika frolicked in the snow at Wednesday, April 10, 2002, 03:14 a.m.

I love Sarah, I love Sarah, I love Sarah. That totally caught me off guard. Hey, Linh, if you ever needs A Doll’s House, let me know ^_^ *goes back to loving Sarah* And Sarah, about that gym thing, good for you! I think you're insane, but you'll be better for it.

I should do some exercise myself. I feel my love handles as I type. They're warm in that lumpy, entrail-y way. I wouldn't mind if they were cool, but nope, they're a vibrating warm and it feels really yucky. Ugh. I'll take up swimming soon.

I understand why people hate crossovers now. I read a Montgomery fanfic that started with Anne and in pops folks from Emily, Jane, the Story Girl, and hey, Valancy and Barney just to spite me. No doubt we'll see Marigold and the Penhallows/Darks soon >_< I don't mind crossovers, but please don't throw in characters from other novels for no reason other than to create "A Montgomery world". I wanted to throw something at the author. Oh yes, Shirley Blythe, my darling brown Shirley, got shafted in the story. He ws playing the role of a rejected lover. Someone needs to choke the author and choke her good. I need to write a Shirley fic to make myself feel better.

No need to apologize Maria, I know nothing about China either. Teochew is either a language or a dialect of the Chinese variety. The K/Y was definitely one of the highlights fromt he anime. I'm so glad they made it. ^_^ And I didn't know Miss Sailor Moon was married to Mr. Yu Yu. That is so cool!

So Alison dearie, you're admitting that Subaru is uke? *dances*

Malice, the first story was cool in seeing Mrs. Lin running around trying to find people and shooting folks in the process, but I love the second story better too. It was so spontaneous and full of life. I love that ending! It's one of the best endings I've ever saw in a movie. I need a copy of the script. The subtitles was fun. I think I know how to write "Help" and "I" in Finnish.

Satsuki-chan, if someone takes the time and effort to find the right pair of glasses, she can look awesome. Glasses have so much personality. A young girl wearing granny glasses can look far more striking than a pretty girl who doesn't wear any.

CHUNKING EXPRESS

Laws, I LOVE that movie :D

One of these days, I'm going to phone in work in my bathroom and tell them I can't come because it's raining too hard. Now I want the soundtrack. And plane tickets. And a wig, sunglasses, trenchcoat and gun. Because they're cool.

Oh, and watching Tony Leung in underclothes (!) talking to stuffed animals... BLISS.

Thanks babe! And Ammie, your top 5 list is up ^___^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!
I know the last year has been a difficult one, but I hope the coming one brings happiness and peace all the same. Lord knows you deserve it more than anyone else I know. May you find lots receive lots of presents, good old-fashion cake, and S/S tied up with ribbons for this day, and let the birthday spanking begin ^___^

Okay, so maybe I misjudged that Karen picture. I could have sworn the hair was green when I first saw it. It's cool, not my style, but definitely more fascinating that other CLAMP covers I've seen. Now that I've gotten over the shock of it, and pretty sure the hair isn't green, I enjoy the fact that one of the few non-CLAMPy-looking color pictures is of Karen.

Finally changed the links, as I should have done ages ago. I was very careful, so I won't upset all the hard work Meta-babe did for me. Now people checking their trackers can see how religiously I do read their blogs.

I saw a baby on the bus today, and something about its face kept me staring at it. To be sure, I stare at all babies because they're adorable widdle sings that I want to smush and squish until they can't bweathe, but the face of this one had me blinking and spellbound for a reason. Then the reason hit me: That baby has the EXACT same face I did when I was a baby. I only have two or three baby pictures of me, but that kid looked just like them. The eyes, the nose, THE EYEBROWS! My eyebrows, aside from being extremely pretty eyebrows, are common enough, but there's still something Likesque about them, and that baby had the exact same eyebrows that I have. The resemblance was freaking, and it even had the same comically-grim expression I had in my pictures. I felt like I was reincarnated before I was dead or that someone had stolen my genes in the middle of the night and made a clone of me without me knowing. I was seriously about to go up to it and say, "hey, you know that in 22 years you're going to look just like I do now?" Me was happy of course. The kid was cute and it made me feel good to know I really was that cute once ^_^

I learn much from Alison, first that I'm Teochew and second, why Teochew people say, "Eat rice yet?" all the time. Teochews, whether they're Cambodian-Teochews or Vietnamese-Teochews or Chinese-Teochews are constantly asking me if I ate rice yet. "Hey, eat rice yet?" "Did you eat rice?" "Little Sister, you eat rice until you're full yet?" Alison told me it's a greeting that's not only restricted to Teochews, and came from the good old days when food in China was scarce so people who did well usually had food to eat. Ergo, "Eat rice yet?" equal "How are you?" Um, she explains it better.

Kim, sorry about Angela. I'm sure her 17 years were good ones, and hopefully she's keeping your mom company now.

Sarah, glad things are going well for now. I'll get to that 60K of emailing I owe you (WESLEY!). I'll get back to all the emails I owe people this weekend. That's the plan. And much thanks to ali for all her sweetness while trying to help me keep my sanity from exploding*hugs*

Last Sunday's sermon being about "Give us our daily bread", the minister said two stupid things: 1. that with welfare, Canadian don't really starve (OH YES WE DO!), and 2. that many people in the congregation from China knew about starvation. If he means the new-wave Chinese immigrants with their designer clothes and six thousand pairs of shoes, trust me, they're starving more in Canada than they are in China. If he means the older folks who probably lived through the Japanese invasion, he can be forgiven.

I think most of the Chinese in my congregation were annoyed with the minister for saying that people were starving in China. I'm no fan of China, I despise heat and overcrowded places and their human rights violations, but they're not starving and they're not poor and they're not backwards.

I can't believe I'm standing up for China. Don't tell my mother. I diss China to her all the time, which drives her mad. She thinks it's the best country after Canada (Mumsy has some taste) since they execute so many people a year. Mumsy grew up in a place in a place of public execution and torture. If your kids were bored, take them out to the public square to watch prisoner get tortured (her favorite was making them climb ladders with nails in the rungs). Which of course horrifies Anti-death-penalty-and-torture me. So yes, we argue about that constantly. She wants the death penalty back in Canada, I'll yell Blue Murder if they think of bringing it back.

I like the Finnish justice system. There was a three-page article in the Ottawa Citizen about Hameenlinna, which could be found here.

To clear things up, my mom wasn't born or raised in China, nor was my Dad. I don't talk about my Dad much, because he's as cute as Mumsy is, but I should say a few things about him. He has a habit of pissing me off and making me want to throw things at him, but I love him and think he's an excellent father considering the kind of person he is. He should have never been a father, having an explosive violent temper and impatience and sulkiness that no child should be exposed to, but despite that, he hasn't abondaned his kids (though he keeps threatening too *grin*), and he works hard at making us happy and would turn heaven and earth of any of us got sick to make us well.

LOL. It's been FREEZING in Ottawa too, snowed since Monday. My in-law cried. She wants winter to be over, but I'm happy because I can use my mittens and scarf. Lany (thanks Love!) finally got my scarf to me, though the mittens got to me first XD Anyways, Maria-dear, I hope the weather does warm up and you don't get really sick from running out in the cold.

Some late replies for you too: I LOVE THE WYRM LAYOUT! I love his hair, and normally I hate long hair on guys (blame it on Kakyou), but long black hair is cool. And you don't have to read that fic tomorrow, or ever. I realized this morning what I actually did, and I am so ashamed of myself.

Alison, I think the problem with the X anime is that they decided to make it when the manga wasn't finished yet and make it only one season. I was actually annoyed when I heard about the anime because I didn't want the ending of the manga given away, and if they had a difference ending from the manga, that would be stupid. From your descriptions, the show is going to end up being as good as the movie, though I love the first episode (will watch the rest when I can Linh to watch them with me.)

Jeannie-love, I want to smell the amonia -- I mean, see your curls! Must drop by CBS soon, and yes, we have to do that Star Wars before ATTACK OF THE CLONES! (Sorry, couldn't resist) comes out. And thanks for introducing me to Jar-Jar. I talked to Young Mikey Boy about Jar-Jar and he likes your idea of the microwave.

Ammie, I hope you've seen the new windmaster by now, and are taking pictures. SEND ME PICTURES! *Hugs*
