Sherry Chris-mas Ada Happy New Fear!
Hi, everybody! (Hi, Doctor Nick!) Ooh, Christmas is nearly here and I kinda know what I'm getting (hehe . . .heheh. Can't wait!) This'll only be a short post, but my last one before Christmas so I had to write.
One thing though, I wish everyone would stop writing about how much snow they've had! It's so depressing!! I want snow! Hmm . . . feel like singing. "Why won't it snow, like they said it would, is there something that they know, that I really should . . ?"
Singing ain't gonna help. Hehe, specially MY singing. Anyway, I know that I'm getting a couple of mangas for Crimble, and some Final Fantasy VIII figures (what? I can be a kid if I want!!), and I'm getting some Resident Evil: Code - Veronica graphic novels!! Oh, and Resi Evil fans, the subject of this post is for you!!
Everything else is a surprise so I#m really excited!!
Oh, and I'm very hyper 'cause I just checked my e-mails and I have one from . . . Yoshitaka Hirota!! (You all scratch you head in pullzement) He's the dude who wrote all the music for Shadow Hearts, and he sent me the lyrics for a track called True Voice!! Hehe, giddy with joy!!
Martian Successor Nadesico started on the Sci-Fi channel yesterday, and I'm already addicted. It's fantastic! Oh, and my Lewis-noodle sent me a Christmas present down from Scotland (swoon!) Yup, things are pretty good!
And this post is very badly written. So, I have to go now. And I want to wish everyone a very . . .
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Martian Successor Nadesico
Akito: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Damn, I burned it!"

Have an excellent Crimble, everyone!

Absolute Luna Sea!
Konnichiwa! Ogenki desu ka? Oops, sorry. I'm vaugely aware of myself turning ever so slightly Japanese. Hehe. So, today's been pretty fun. I've just spent ages watching EVERY Beyblade opening and ending I can find - including German and Italian ones, Korean ones, and ALL of the different Japanese ones for all the series. I had a horrible realisation though - I like the music. Even the bad songs. Even 'Oh Yes'! Still, it's pretty fair to say that Go Ahead is just the best opening by far. I love Rei's little kick! Hehe(giggling like a schoolgirl here!)
Ahem, so anyways . . . I've also spent ages trawling the Internet looking for some Luna Sea tracks. They absolutely rock, but I've only ever heard one and a half songs that they've done. I can't find anything on them - which is bizarre 'cause they're a really well known Japanese band. Oh Well.
I listened to the full version of 'All Across the Nation' as well, and 'True Voice' from the Shadow Hearts soundtrack, and basically every song thats ever been linked to an anime or a computer game. It's kinda strange in a way . . .
Hm. I don't think I have anything else to write. I just kinda wanted to stop by and say hello (and 'Merry Christmas' yet again).
Oh, no, just thought of something. Don't vote bad on people's pics!
See ya!

Oopsie. No time for a quote of the day. Argh! Sorry!! Gomen!

It's a mini-me!
Hiya again. I know that the below post is long enough but . . . Just wanted to mention the lack of fanart updating. I was going to scan a couple of Digimon pics at the library today, but I'm a moron and forgot them (D'oh!) so I didn't. I've got two pics at home waiting to be painted (one of Mariah and cute little Rei, Lee, Gary and Kevin, and a picture of Kai that Tomyo's been drooling over and ordering me to paint) but as I've mentioned before (probably, anyway. I always repeat myself) I tend to paint better in the summer, and write (stories and the such) better in winter. Don't ask! I don't understand it either! But it means that my pictures might be a little thin during the winter. But I'm trying desperately to get inspired for a little Christmas pic. Last year I painted a pic of Claire and Steve from Res - Code Veronica out in the snow. In the background was a snowman wearing a S.T.A.R.S. beret and Wesker's sunglasses . . . That's really not normal . . . anyway, just letting you know!!

Yu: "Yeah, well we can't all be Schwarzenegger."

Ooh, I do love that film. And Ominae Yu is just a very cool name! Gotta go and catch the bus. If I don't write before, have a very merry Christmas. That's an order, by the way. See ya!

It's Christmaaaaas!
Woo! The Crimble decs are up!! Erm, for those of you who don't speak my particular English brand of English, here's a translation: "Oh my, how delightful! Our humble residence is now draped in the most festive of ornaments." Okay, we put the decorations up yesterday, tree and all. We came to the age old conclusion of 'there just isn't enough fairy lights' and I did the traditional getting a pine needle stuck in my foot. Yup, I'm feeling very festive!!
Whilst decorating, we were listening to the 'tradition' music of Christmas. Slade, Wizzard, East 17, the Pogues, Wham! . . . There's nothing better than really cheesy Christmas songs! Well, anything's better that Avid whats-his-name's Proper Crimbo, but I am likin' The Darkness' effort. (complete with mock-cheesy 'come on, kids!')
Oooh, and there's snow forecast for this weekend. Kamamaster, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Of course, they also said there might be massive power cuts too . . . that'll suck.
RANDOM QUOTE: Escaflowne
Allen: "Gaddes, prep the Crusade."
Oh, I have to say thanks to Beyblader who keeps making me smile! Lots of Rei! Hehe. Acutally, I thinks that I'm gonna search high and low for a Driger 'blade! I mean, I won't use it but I want one! Tomyo's got a Dranzer!! (How much of a spoilt child do I sound! Hehe!) Oh well, I just want to have a match in a wok and see if it really is that fun!
RANDOM QUOTE: Escaflowne
Allen: "Gaddes, prep Scharezard."
Not as in the pokemon. Oh, hehe, I'm learning about Dragonball!! You see, on Toonami (the Cartoon Network sister Channel) at night, the schedule goes, Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, Gundam Wing, Tenchi, Outlaw Star (it is a very cool line up!) and we always watch Gundam, although we've seen every episode about twenty times - same goes for Tenchi and Outlaw Star too! Anyway, we always catch the end of GT, and although I'm not really into Dragonball at all, I'm finding it fun trying to work out who the hell everyone is! I know Goku (Kirby Morrow does his voice in Z! So knowledgable!), Vegeta, Trunks, Pan, Gohan, Goten and Bulma! Oh, and Garlic - funny name! But, how are they all related?! Aren't they all their own uncles, and brothers, and mothers and everything! Still just don't get it . . .
Eesh, and I was horrified to learn something else this morning! I've mentioned before my hatred for Kinnikuman: Ultimate Muscle, but have I ever mentioned my hatred for . . . Yugi-oh! I know people will hate me for that admission, but let me explain. It's the card game. How is it exciting? You just have to except the outcome cause you don't know what cards are in the deck. If Yugi pulls out a super, duper, ultimate death card, you just kinda hafta go 'oh'. . . Anyway, that's not the point. What I wanted to say was the voice actor group behind Ultimate Muscle, is the same one used for Yugi-oh, and that means that it's the Shadow Hearts voice actors!! My wonderful Yuri Hyuga (that's the SH character name, by the way) is acting in Ultimate Muscle AND Yugi-oh! Nooooooo!
Just needed to let that out. Oh, and no offence intended to Yugi-oh fans, I just don't get it, is all. Sorry.
Moving swiftly on . . . I listen to a digital radio station called The Storm. It plays a load of rock, alternative and indie music (which are just the best kinds of music) and they're having a poll - which is better, British or American rock? I'm a bit stumped. I've always loved my mid-nineties Britrock (the likes of Suade, Blur, Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, The Seahorses, Pulp . . .) but recently . . . Basically, it comes down to Muse V Red Hot Chili Peppers. Muse kick ass, totally, but I just love the Chilis. So, on the advent of Go Ahead, I've decided that Japanese rock . . . rocks. Anyone agree? And, I even really love J-pop. And I hate pop music! I think Japan's just better! Hehe.
Hm, that was a pointless little ramble. Oh well. Best be off now, still more prezzies to buy! Wish me luck with the crowds. Au revoir! Hm, feeling French today . . .


QUOTE OF THE DAY: 'Alien Princess' - Window Post (tehnically, it's a song lyric)
"You though you were clever/ but I could see your brain/ it was small and foul and you were so insane/ then you tongue came out and it seemed so very wrong/ it was thin and wriggly and at least ten foot long! / cause you're an alien princess/ yeah, your flesh is all skinless/ your my inside out woman, yeah/ Yeeeaaaaahhhh!"

Need . . .sofa . . . *gasp*
pant . . .pant . . . Well, I've bought test tubes full of lavander bath stuff, a pair of Simpons socks (with the words 'No Tv, no couch . . . I'm so alone' on them!!), a DVD for my older sis's boyfriend, a little grey bear, a load of other stuff, and have three rolls of gold wrapping paper poking out one of the bags like a gilded, triple-barrel shotgun! I think it's safe to say . . . I wanna go home! But no, stuck here in town until 2.05 (that's an hour away) so I thought I'd come and annoy you lot! Hmm, gotta order Jay's prezzie when I get home . . .
Oh, and I've done that thing where, despite my perfect calculations. I appear to have less change than I should have. Oh well, still got enough left over to buy a Gasaraki DVD - yay!
I really need to lie down on the sofa now - my feet are killing and my arms have stretched from carrying really heavy bags. I hope my family appriciate this! Sigh . . . I'm gonna go a trek round the Internet now, search for some more screenshots from G Revolution!! See you later!!

Yuri: "As the warlock said in the end, even if another age of storms buffets this world, I intend to go on living, and fighting, for you who freed me from the darkness. For the one I love."

Oh! Yuri and Alice are such a cute pair. Although, I don't think Wanderer Meiyuan's too fond of Alice for it though . . . hehe!

Heeeeere's Kevin!
Hello!! How's everyone in Otakuland? I take it no one missed me while I was gone . . . hehe. Can't stay long today as I am doing the whole ritual Christmas shopping thing. Gotta buy prezzies for everyone in my massive family. And they're all awkward!! Why can't they all like anime?
Hm, anyway, Tomyo *got* the last Escaflowne DVD yesterday. And it's just the coolest thing in the world. Ever. EVER. You see, there's an Escalfowne PSone game out there, but only in Japan. . . and yet, the final volume of Esca actually has all the scenes from the game on!! Hehe. Tomyo cried. Again. Bless her. Aw, but Van and Hitomi just BELONG together . . . sob!
Also, feeling very Kingdom Hearty as Tomyo's getting the soundtrack for Crimble. Bit of a surprise, actually, as I had no idea it had even been released over here. Oh well, not complaining!! I do love Simple and Clean. "You're giving me . . . too many things lately . . ."
Oh, and I'm totally sodded in FFVII. I'm in the cave thing, just before battling Jenova and Sephiroth, and I can't get out!! I wanna level up more!! There's probably a massive doorway back to the outside, ain't there?! Figures!
I've been have some weird dreams lately, Beybladey dreams. One was that Kai had released a single (it was a funky song!), and the other was the G Revolution was on over here, but they all had different voice actors . . . and Rei was wearing an eyepatch . . ?!?!
I think there's something wrong with me!
Oh, gotta go now. I don't know when I'll be back on, but I'll say "Merry Christmas!" now, just in case!! Merry Christmas!!

Sorry . . .
I apologise profoundly for the below post. God, I write some rubbish . . !
Comments (2) | Permalink

I think I've got frostbite . . .
It's SO COLD! Ahem, erm . . . how are you all. You will not believe how cold it is today! Still no snow, but I'm starting to think that my parents moved us to Siberia without telling us. Hehe, but of course I'm dressed like a moron. I'm a measly 5ft 2" so I decided to wear my tallest shoes - the open toe shoes . . . soon to be completely toeless shoes. Also, my older sister wore my coat for work today, so I nicked hers. Bizarrely (I say this 'cause she's the thinnest person ever, well apart from the Cheeky Girls) it's a bit too big for me, so I've been walking around with my arms folded to pull it tight. But I just look like I'm doing an endless impression of Kai!
Hehe . . . what the hell do I write on this?! I want to apologise again for all the completely random, weird, pointless and just downright stupid posts I subject you to! Imagine what it's like for Tomyo! Hehe.
So, I'm feeling very Christmassy today (even though Go Ahead's blaring down my ear, and that just makes me feel Beybladey) and I might wander round town looking for prezzies for people. We don't put the decorations up until the week before Christmas (just not soon enough!) and this year we're putting them up on my mom and dad's wedding anniversary, so I guess I'd actually go and buy a card or something . . .
RANDOM QUOTE: Shadow Hearts
Yuri: (to Alice) "The day you die, I'll die too."
Okay, so today's quote's not funny, but it is heart-wrenchingly sweet. Aw . . . I love that game!! Erm, kinda obsessed, ain't I?!
I actually don't know what to write today. I can't wait for Nadesico to start on Sci Fi (22nd Dec - counting down) and I also REALLY want to see the end of V Force. It's not fair - Beyblader's seen it all. She knows what happens!! Is it true that Zeo wants to be a 'real boy' in a bizarre Pinnochio-style plot twist?!
Hmm, really am lacking anything to write, I got and angel in my advent calander this morning. And that was actually my breakfast. Hmm, nearly lunchtime . . . but I had a Chinese take out last night, and I'm still kinda full from that (Tomyo, you sure I don't look pregnant?! I ate so much!)
You know what sucks? As you all probably know, I'm a total Beyblade fan, but you can't get an merchandise over here. Sure, you can get a couple of Beyblades, but I want a Rei figure! No manufacturer probably has enough plastic to make his hair though . . . Hm. Sorry, that was just a random moan. But you can't get soundtracks or anything. I think we should campaign for more Beyblade!
Okay, that's it. I've turned into some Beyblade-ranting lunatic. I think it's time I left . . .
I haven't really thought of a quote of the day, best just think of something quickly. And I'll try not to use Beyblade this time! Hehe. Oh, and everyone has to love Kamemaster 'cause he rocks!! Hehe.
Au Revoir, adios, sayonara . . . ta-ra!

Ooh . . . Chilly
Hiya, peeps. How's it hanging? (Kinda wonky)So, I dont have long to write today as I've just been Crimble shopping with my older sister, Gemma. I've only bought two presents, and I haven't even got wrapping paper or cards yet . . . gonna hafta come back down tomorrow and see if I can do better!! Well, Gemma was faffing around for ages trying to get everything she needed, and then she made sure that I bought the present for her! Typical!
I'm absolutely freezing as well. I'ts so cold out, and really foggy, and hopefully we'll have snow soon - thanks Kamemaster!!
Oh, Beyblader, I like you a lot!! Hehe, it's always nice to hear from you and read your site, too!! Besides, you like Rei, too. Alas, still haven't found the songs yet and don't have time to look today. Mwah!
RANDOM QUOTE: Beyblade (shock!)
Tyson: "Hey, Chief, this fight is making me think."
Dizzi: "Will wonders never cease?!"
Hehe, I love quoting. Argh! Just seen the time. Gotta go in a mo. Shame though, 'cause I love rambling on here, and the bus driver's a lunatic. And she got to navigate the rusty bus through the tiny, windy country lanes in FOG!! Thinking about it, I might just stay here . . .
Oh, I saw some gorgeous gold nail varnish today (I have a nail varnish obsession) but I couldn't get it 'cause I was(meant to be) getting presents for everyone else. But . . . I gotta look good Crimble day, don't I?! Hehe.
Hmm, after that pointless message, I'd best go and try and make my sis drive the bus home (not Tomyo - my God that would be a disaster, especially as she's legally too young to drive . . .) See you later, everybody!! Christmassy love!
