Heh. That's right: I'm CURED!!!

"Have you ever seen a bully at work in the playground? He breaks all the rules, ignoring and disrespecting the teachers unless it does him any good. He chooses his victims based solely on how many friends they have--it's easier to pick on some one who's alone in the world. He's not afraid to flaunt his power, and even the teachers and principal are afraid of him." Just testing every one's respective abilities to draw inferences. : ) It surprises me that I haven't updated in...two days. : O Wow. So much has happened since the 28th. I mean, I got a Neji keychain! How cool is that?? Also, Sakura-chan gave me the URL for a site where I can finally download CCS. So...life is pretty good, though I'm still rather upset due to the happenings of Monday. There're still police everywhere... Anyway, about the Neji keychain: Monika-chan went to the mall the other day, and bought a pack of seven super-deformed Naruto keychains! In the pack were Neji, Kakashi, Iruka, Naruto, Sasuke, Lee, and Gaara. She gave her brother Naruto, Christie Gaara and Sasuke, Sammie-chan Lee and to me...? The wonderful Neji.^__^ As soon as she handed Samm and I our respective keychains, we pit them against each other, though it was the middle of geography class.-.- Well, no one was listening to the teacher anyway. It was fun--we plan on taking photos of them in action poses and adding speach-bubbles. *maniacal laughter* Of course, during that class, the guy who sits next to me just had to go and take Sasuke and Gaara. And put Gaara on top of Sasuke.-.- My class is stupid.u_u Well, as it is, I am now able to play the Jurassic Park theme song without disgracing the piece too, too much. :) Hurray for me.u_u Cookies=Teh Yummy. But you knew that.

To be forever left untitled.

I, for the first time in my life, feel truly, and entirely disgusted with humanity. The world is full of evil, evil people, who have absolutely no right to live. And for every one of them, there are at least three who have every reason to be kept alive, until they are taken by old age. I am not enitirely ready to believe this news yet, but I still broke down into tears when I read it. *~Bring Cecilia Home~*

Ouch. And on so many different levels... Let's start at the begining: yesterday, I went shopping with a couple of my friends. While we were in one of the larger toy stores, Moni-chan spots TWO INCH NARUTO ACTION FIGURES. My immediate reaction: : O "Must have!" The problem? There were five of them in a set, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi, Yondaime, and the set was $24.00. I didn't have enough cash on me at the time. So, I ask the lady running the store if she sold them seperately. A simple "No," or even, "No, sorry," would have been bad enough. But, instead, she barks a demonstratively deliberate "NO." and walks off. I could have cried. If they had had Neji and/or Shikamaru I most-likely would have. T_T That was mean... Another form of OUCH: the literal one. I went skiing with one of my friends today, which is why I havent been bugging people incessantly all day (heh). Only, she snow-boards. So, we get the brilliant idea, let's switch. I actually managed to do three linked turns in a row, before falling on my ass too hard to try again. It still hurts.><"" It was my first time boarding, though, and my second run down the bunny-hill. I think I did okay. The lift-lady and another lady who had the same board as Christie-chan (only un-goofy-footed), showed me what to do. So did Christie. I skied down one of the bigger hills for the first time. It was a fun day, overall. :) When the snow got too slushie (stupid sun!!@_@), we came in and had Mr. Big ice-cream drumsticks. : D Woot. I have also promised Skippedry-chan that I will give her beloved PMK another shot.^_~ Kishimotto-sensei's art style is most definately my favourite. It's realistic in its stylization: the characters have an essense of imperfection to them. That was dropped in the anime, what with the generic-ization of the art. The anime is really starting to go downhill...><" I also love the character's clothing and the archetecture. ^_^ Ja! EDIT: ANBU and Anime-Keep are EVIL. I like that. :)

: O

Conspiracies, conspiracies. Everywhere you look, there is a concspiracy! Ai~ya~a!!! *runs away screaming* No, really: it turns out that, after school hours, the government funded educational facility I attend hosts a cult. A cult, I say! Monika had to go back after school to get something she forgot in her locker, and it was full of people meditating and chanting. Outside the guidance office, in the foyer...in the cafeteria. o_o I mean, wtf? We always knew the teachers were up to something, but really. A full-scale cult? I also say that L'Arc en Ciel's Ready Steady Go! is part of a conspiracy to drive subliminal messages into the minds of the world. It's the only thing that could explain why I cannot stop listening to it. Thank you, Sasuke-kun and Val! Thank you so bloody much!@_@ Why Pacific Mall pwns us all. Just don't go about trying to park there. o_o I was talking to Sammie-chanand Yin yesterday, and the two have them have deducted that... -It is a very bad idea to start a war against Katie -What do Katies have every morning for breakfast? Maniacal laughter & a can of whup-ass! My friends are very unique people. :\ Ahh...the temperature is finally going up! It was eight degrees for two days in a row!^^ Now it's just gonna smell all nasty, what with spring springing out of everything. Until it's summer, and everything shrivels up, that is. *sigh* The Jurassic Park theme is one of the greatest works of music that has every been conceived by humanity. I shudder to think of how I deface it when attempting to play it on my violin.u_u I need to get the piano music for this piece...>_> EDIT: ARGH. Further Edit: I have been reading through old PMs, and I must say, they are highly amusing. From the pleasant (Artemis), to the chummy (Lady M), to the hyper glycemic (haha, Sakura-chan), to the contemptuous *cough*Boba*cough*, to the just plain weird. Want an example? "Frantic, yes. Like scared bunnies or evil squirrels. In reality though, squirrels are evil. Nothing that cute can be good..." This, children, is why you should avoid talking to Mike. He's a random psychopath, who was scarred for life at the age of six, when he was attacked by squirrels.u_u It's almost as funny as how Kishimotto-sensei was asulted by a group of monkeys at the age of seven (Mike probably doesn't find it funny, though...).o_o"" Sakura, Preston, Dan, I cannot wait to see your site. It's gonna pwn royally. : D

u_u

A presentation that one of my classmates made in English today was very accurate, and very enfuriating, as well. It wasn't that he was saying anything to get us angry towards him, but that all of his points just reminded us of how poorly students are treated in this system.u_u He started off by saying something to the effect of, "Remember when the teacher would hand you a pencil, an eraser, and a sheet of paper, then tell you to get to work. Or else you'd have to take your textbook home to finish it?" It is true that the majority of schools stopped providing students with pencils, paper and erasers (even in lower elementary school) four or five years ago. I remember how, back in grade two, they had bins full of pencils and erasers on every desk. Those were the days...those were the days...(even though I hated grades two and three, but still) What irks me even more is how the school spends the money it does have on FRISBIES, while the Family Studies room has textbooks that are 27 years old. That's right: too many to count on both your fingers and your toes. Our Health textbooks are about 25 years old, as well. The other line of Family Studies text-books are 19 years old. The English textbooks that the classes that are not special-ed used are from '91. I cannot remember if it was the history textbooks that were from 1990. Fourteen years. Count 'em. *sigh* What is our world coming to? In music-related news, I downloaded that song that Sasuke-kun recomended. The first time I heard it, I could not tell whether it was in French or Japanese, but I now am fairly certain that it is, in fact, sung in the latter._ _U And I have the same feelings towards this song as he dictated: the first few lines were enough to make me seriously consider closing the player. Then, all these popups came out of nowhere, and I ended up having to hear the rest. 'Sgood. You. It. Download. Now. Go. There is no better way of emphasizing a point than saying it in an out-of-order sentence. :) In simply weird news: My friend said he couldn't come to Dungeons and Dragons this week because he would be "too busy humping Kakashi." I mean, wtf? o.O My computer desk is littered with juiceboxes, empty glasses that once contained milk/orange juice, cups that used to have tea in them...and lots of CDs that came out of cereal boxes at some point in history. It's kind of sad that, in the grocery store, you can get "Timone & Pumba's Jungle Games" for two dollars and fifty cents, while it's $25.00 at the computer store, next door. Once again: u_u Gymnastics in Gym Class=Teh EVIL. Why? Well, aside from the fact that it is gymnastics, I ended up in a group with my megalomaniac friend, two very reasonable people, and some one who just wants to spend the entire gym period talking to the biggest asshole in the entire education facility. I really am getting tired of hearing, "You all suck! What the fuck is wrong with you? Why can't you do a cartwheel?! You were supposed to find good music for our presentation! Not that crap! I want music in ENGLISH! You suck! What the hell are you doing, get off the mat, shut up...blah blah blah..."_ _U Two guys in my class have gotten into the habit of asking me random anime trivia. For instance: "Name three anime characters with metallic hair!" It's actually kind of fun. Today the question was, "Name as many anime characters who's English names start with a P as possible. Ones who have not had their names translated beyond 'san' etc... being changed to 'Mister' etc... don't count. Neither do Digi/Pokemon." Can you do it? o.o My first suggestion was, "Mister Po-Po!", but then they told me about the suffixes thing. :( Dumbest dubb edit of the moment: Renaming Mizuki, 'Julian', and making he and Toya 'best friends'. I mean...quoi? It's so obvious that they're boyfriends. His name was Mizuki, right? I can't remember at the moment. Why do I keep talking about CCS?? And why wont Malcolm remember to bring it to school? T_T And, before I forget: TANJOUBI OMEDATO GOUZAIMASU, SARA-CHAN! Thank you, ladies and gentlemen: goodnight. *bow*

^_^

As you may or may not noticed (based on your observation abilities, and whether or not this is your first time here) I have made a drastic change to the appearance of this little Puddle in Cyberspace. The only thing, as far as appearnace goes, that has lingered, is the eternal message, "Bring Cecilia Home." I'm not getting rid of that until Dong-Yue is safe back where she belongs. Instead of the quotes, which I did adore, I decided to switch to a little blurb from my favourite book, 'The Unstrung Harp; or Mister Earbrass Writes a Novel.' Why is this my favourite book?, you may ask. Well, because it is the one story I have read that really is entirely accurate. Edward Gorey pwns. In anime news, a friend of mine has agreed to lend me the first 30-or-so episodes of CCS. ArV, I said I wasn't going to purchase this series. Why did you suggest that I do that? o.o Perhaps you meant that I should rent it...I wonder if one could rent uncut CCS. But I'm getting them from my friend, so it's all good. I have, after a month and a half, gotten used to the constant tick-tocking of my Ranma 1/2 clock. Now, I don't know how I could sleep without it. :) Typing class is the Devil. I say this with complete and utter honesty. Not only do they make us type out paragraph after paragraph about Norweigian boat-builders, but then proceed to sit us down, in front of the TV. We are equipped with a keyboard that is not connected to anything (they keep them in a pile in the corner--I kid you not), and watch a video. Supposedly, this video is The Most Effective Way to Learn to Type. I highly doubt this, however. It was a hot-pink screen, with a crappy CG of a keyboard, and the tips of some disembodied hands tapping the nonexistant keys. For half of an hour, we sat, listening to, "Quiet Aunt Zelda. QAZ. Quiet Aunt Zelda. Walt Sits eXams. WSX. Walt Sits eXams..." You can imagine the wondrously fun ideas they came up for the rest of the fingers.=_= It took a great amount of self-control to prevent myself from screaming, storming out of the room, and running away for ever. It was that bad.><"" I have once again been reminded of the joys of Caramel Crunch Torte. Not only is it aliterated, to an extent, but it's delicious, too. :) *salivates* Ahh...the whipped cream, ahh the caramel, ahh the cookies...^^ Some things are just So Good, it's unbelievable. I finished that book, The Interpreter, and thought it was amazing. The only thing unsatisfactory about it was the second-last chapter. *mble grmble* I guess I was just mad about the main character's behaivior towards her best friend... Amazing book. You. Now. It. Read. Go. Arv: what's your URL, again? I went to the first one you sent me, and it was that ugly, bright blue thing. I think I know how to fix your bg. But I need the URL first... Ja matta, minna-san!

>_>

It would seem that I am perpetually suspiscious. Oh well: better that than having some one you trusted strike you down in the middle of the night. Or their having one of their little minions do it for them...>_> It occurs to me that I get extremely excited over gift-giving holidays. Why, you may ask? Well, it's just so much fun. I mean, it's one of my oldest and closest friend's birthdays next week, so we're giving her the following: -a wooden Zanbatou (6 ft. in length) -a cake -lots of random crap we find for really cheap on the shelves of Chinatown stores Birthdays are fun days. :) <--as is that face. That is: it's fun. Not a birthday, or a fun day. But you knew that. I give out mucho thanks to The ArV for teaching me random, but essential, parts of Japanese grammar. I also thank Mew for reading over my little piece of work-in-progress. It is very helpful of her. :) Playing the Harry Potter theme on the violin is somehow demoralizing. Not that I have anything against the soundtrack from Harry Potter (though I have never been a fan of JK Rowling). It's just that one realizes how bad one is at playing certain instruments. Of course, it's not like I ever really had a knack for music, anyway._ _U It would seem that I am succesfully spreading the paranoia...Paranoia Agent, that is. *maniacal laughter* It's official: I have Chronic Entitling Posts/Comments with Emoticons Dissorder. CEP/CED. Stay away...far away... My ten-minute-long search for CCS torrents was not successful. I don't plan on purchasing this series...I need to find somebody who has the CDs. That's right: NEED. Just like I need a t-shirt that says, "Chicks dig ninjas." on it. Because, you know, tattoos just gross me out. :( Mohawks are cool, however. A friend of mine had a mohawk for a month or so. Then, he let his hair grow out. Then, he got a buzz cut. *blink blink* I need a series to watch! Series recomendations, any one?? I hate to say it, but I just don't see Paranoia Agent being fansubbed past episode...five...*breaks down into a fit of tears, unable to stop the sobs from ripping their way through her throat* Do you know what is irritating? Going to forums where people post nothing but SPAM. I love OB's way of being perpetually intelligent (well, for the most part).

Shoujo ga Shinobi wo aishimasu.
Well, it's true.^^

Today, I edited a picture of myself to look like an evil, female version of Kakashi. What fun! : D

I have been told, on many occasions, that it is "spine-tingling", or "OMG!!!! WTF IS THAT!!!!!!"

_ _U

Some lady came in today, in order to give us (the school) a lecture on self-esteem. Apparently, she has made a moderate name for herself publicity-wise. She once had a show where she intereviews celebrities.
When she showed us a video comprised of different segments, of different episodes of this show, there were mixed feelings.

That is: when S Club 7, 98°, and numerous other "popular" singers were featured, most of the cafeteria cheered (sarcastically, of course). My little circle of friends just sort of sat there like this: x__x

I wonder if the woman was at all disheartened by how a bunch of the guys sitting on one of the tables' coming in contact with the floor was credited more that her appearance. Applause-wise, anyway.
The tables in the cafeteria (which we use for assemblies_ _U) are always falling over backwards. Only, this was a "sturdy" table--one that actually has a proper set of legs.
Of course, they managed to put far too much weight on it, simply causing the surface to cave in.
I looked over after the BAM!, to see my friend, Yin's, feet sticking into the air. *shakes head in a mixture of disgust and amusement*

During French class: Teacher asks Tiannia how you say "spoon" in French. Sammie-chan and I are yelling "Coulierre!!!" at the top of our lungs, and she still manages to say something entirely different.><"

During Geography: For some reason, the teacher decides we are going to tell riddles. I answer the riddle THREE TIMES, and every one goes, "WTF?!?!" Some one else answers in the same way, and they go, "Oh yeah...!"

_ _U

The single most cruel-hearted, twisted thing in existance: Annie's Pasta and Cheese.
Now, my mother chooses to buy this particular brand of pasta in cheese sauce over the familiar and friendly (genetically altered *maniacal laughter*) Kraft Dinner. What's so evil about organic pasta in organic cheese sauce, you may wonder? Well, how about the pasta's being shaped like BUNNIES??! Is that not the most heart-wrenching thing imagineable?! Just think: eating bunnies!

*pause*

In cheese sauce!

*even longer pause*

...............

You know, I think they might be on to something there...with their bunny-shaped pasta and all. I mean, who doesn't enjoy biting the heads off of animal crackers now and again?
But know what'd be better? If they made pasta shaped like dictators/opressors/bigots. :D

...

Oh, shut up.

And so, my friends, I leave you with this:

What do you do when you see a dude walking down the street?
Kick him in the groin, pour kerosine on him and, set him on FIRE.
