The communist wheelbarrow

Hey everybody! Well, I'm back and normal again. At least, as normal as I get. Which is really incredibly abnormal. Yeah...I dunno what I mean anymore. And some stupid computer nerd somewhere in Germany happens to be trying to hack me at the moment. I shall begin plotting my revenge. Oh, yes, mace. Lots of mace... Ahem, anyway, I thought I'd tell you that you probably won't be seeing much of me over the next few days. It's regrettable, but I think I may have actually stumbled upon a life. Holy Ishtar! Or maybe it's just imitation life that someone anonymously donated to my pathetic cause. Regardless, I actually have engagements, so I'm not just lying around being lazy again; I actually have stuff to do. I have *another* induction ceremony tonight that I eventually have to get off my butt and get ready for. I'll probably have to stay after school tomorrow to catch up on some work. Friday I have an anime club meeting that I have to go to since they're electing officers for next year and I've been nominated for treasurer. Later that night, I've been invited to a poetry reading of sorts with my friends...and possibly my English teacher. I might go; I've been kind of neglecting them recently by not hanging out with them outside of school. -.-;; Saturday I'm going to my friend's adulthood ceremony. Highly religious, but I think it'll do me some good to go into a church and it would probably mean alot to her if I came. Of course, I have to get her a present... Sunday I'm off to visit my grandmother. So, yeah, behold my busy-ness. Gomen ne, but I have something to make up for it.


Life's been going okay, I guess. My week's steadily going downhill, but at least it started on the top of the hill instead of halfway down or something. I've already got my next site theme chosen, but it might not come into fruition until next weekend because of all my chaoticness. *Hopefully* it'll be well worth the wait. I'll try to get a more reliable image server and fix the Offenders formatting (yeah, CRandomHero, I tried your code, but it didn't work right. Maybe I plugged it in wrong...). So, there's something to look forward to.


I figured since I'll be gone for awhile that I'd hold a fun contest. I'm gonna list quotes from various anime/mangas (I have the pile right next to me as we speak) and a non-anime movie that I'm quoting because it's just that cool. What you guys do is give me the speaker and the title of the anime/manga/movie. Upon my return, I'll announce the super winner (whoever gets the most right) and they'll get a special prize. To help, I'll give you a few hints: All anime titles are domestic titles (released in the U.S. and Canada at least and probably Australia). The movie is in English and is not anime-related. More than one quote is from the movie. Well, good luck!



"Hey! That's my can of pudding and you wasted it!"
"My chicken senses are vibratin'!"
"If you desire to know the truth, you must have the courage to accept it"
"My soul is free...freer than before...I am free to hate, free to love..."
"Time is of little consequence to the heart. Even if our time together has been brief...even if I know only a teensy bit about them...it only means I have more to look forward to over the course of our friendship."
"You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you should watch out for. Honestly."
"Well, it looks like you two have warmed up to each other. Cover your eyes, children."
"Whoops! That was close!! But this intrepid reporter will continue to follow 'the illicit activities of a high school girl!" "Jonouchi! That sounds like one of your movies!"
"I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming!"
"That look! That same ugle look, from yet another person! There's always someone!"
"Now, repeat after me: The world is made." "T-the world is made-" "THE WORLD IS MADE!!" "T-t-the world is made-" "OF LOVE AND PEACE!" *strikes pose*
"Ghosts are unstable beings! A ghost without an owner can easily be tamed by a skilled shaman...even against its will. And it will be recast as a splendid tool!"
"Only you can know who is truly in your heart."
"It's an image you never forget. Mom just lying there...and the colour of her blood."
"I want to drink plum tea!"
"By any and all means necesary" "Do we even *have* means?"
"If something is precious to you...no matter how painful or how hard it seems, no matter what it may cost you, you have to hang in there...and protect it with all the strength you've got, even at the risk of your own life!"
"We're going to steal that ship?" "*Comandeer.* Steal has such bad connotation. We're going to *comandeer* that ship."
"Why did *you* decide to become a teacher, Mr. Kimura?" "For the teenage girls! I love 'em!"
"Gaia, ride the rainbow bridge and attack his lifepoints directly!"
"I'm not really one or the other; not really a demon, not quite human. That's all. There was no place for me, so I made one for myself. Then, I realised that there was a place for me, I'm just the only one in it."



Okay! That's all of them. They're kind of hard, so feel free to use resources (I would...). Look forward to seeing you. Ittekimasu!

This has nothing to do with the quote contest, but I thought it was kinda cool:

"The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their lost is no disaster."
-"One Art," Elizabeth Bishop (poem)



You belong in the land of darkness, otherwise known
as one of the worlds in which I dwell. All here
is beauty inspired by tragedy and great sorrow.
Write or go through other creative outlets to
express the anguish you may be feeling, and
never let anyone tell you that you are just
being 'weepy' or full of 'teenage angst'(if
you're a teenager.If not, then they really
should be punished for calling you one. They
probably are trying to insult your
maturity...fools.)and always remain yourself,
dark and amazing. Never change.

Agh! There are crumbs on my Z-axis!

You can stop writing my obituary now. I'm still alive. Just been busy doing stuff. Internet running slowly. Tired. Very tired. Confused, but what else is new? Rambling again for lack of anything interesting to say. Stupid formatting spites me. Too much html to check. Brain stopped functioning hours ago. Writing unpolished thoughts. Abnormal, yes...



eien sagasu kimi wa utsurigi na yume mibito
uwaki na yume ni sugari anata wa doko e yuku

tasogare hiraku kagi wo sagashite tsuki no kage
todokanai mama naita watashi wa doko e yuku

Searching for eternity, you are a frivolous dreamer
Clinging to unreliable dreams. Where are you going?

Searching for the key to open twilight, I cry,
Unable to reach the moon's shadow. Where am I going?



Didn't do much anime-oriented this weekend. Watched some TV. Saw Pirates of the Carribean for the third time. Still good. Loves Captain Jack Sparrow. Will is cool too. Same guy plays Legolas. I loves Legolas. Loved RotK. Elephants squashed people. Pippin/Merry angst. Would've made a cute couple. Gandalf reminds me of Dumbledore. My mind is weird...



futari hitomi ni himitsu nakushite mo
kasaneta ude wo hodoki wa shinai wa

ichigatsu no aoi tsuki asa yake kakushite yo
owaru hazu no nai yoru ni yasashii yoake

Even though secrets are lost in our eyes,
We will never unfasten our arms from each other.

Pale moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn of a night that should not end.


Finally got an e-mail from one of my friends. Miss her alot. Nice to hear she's doing good. Made new friend this weekend. He likes InuYasha and Gravitation. Nice guy. Walked over a mile. Didn't feel a thing. My friends did. Dunno why.



chikadzuku hodo ni itamu koi no omosa no sei de
hanaresugiteta mune wo jiyuu to yondeita

kurai basho ni dake hikarumono ga aru to
chiisa na mado no tooku mitsumeteta
Because of love's heaviness, painfully close,
The heart no longer mine cried for freedom

When shining things existed only in dark places,
I gazed out the small window into the distance.


Listening to 'Crystal' from X Soundtrack. Good song. Very pretty. Learned a lot more Japanese on Friday. Too lazy to update dictionary. Need to cut fingernails. Very long. Unusually random today. Dog shampoo smell getting to me. Tried to bathe dog once in shower. Cleaned bathroom floor. Shower curtain not impermialbe. Long word. Probably misspelled it. Getting headache from shampoo smell. Feel like Inu-kun around ink. Want to watch some anime. Don't have anything new to watch. Bored.


ichigatsu no aoi tsuki doko made ochite yuku
owaru hazu no nai koi ni yasashii yoake

ichigatsu no aoi tsuki asa yake kakushite yo
owaru hazu no nai yoru ni yasashii yoake
Pale moon of January, sinking into infinity.
The gentle dawn of a love that should not end.

Pale moon of January, hide the colors of the sunrise.
The gentle dawn of a night that should not end.


Have history homework to do. Tried to do some last night. Fell asleep. History is boring from textbook. Class is better. Teacher is fun. Learn lots. English teacher would kill me if she saw this post. Would kill me with a pointy red pen. Red pens are evil. Finished second CD for today. Need to get another. Back hurts. Badly. Need to make bed, put away laundry. Probably should. Probably won't. Gonna leave. Confusing readers. Want to take nap. Hope everyone has good day. Want to write Kenshin quote.

Man, when they say crusty, they mean crusty...

They aren't kidding when they say crusty, are they? Oy. I just ate this hunk of 'crusty Italian' bread and I had to heat it in the microwave if I even hoped to eat it without breaking my teeth. Like in those old cartoons, y'know? Where the guy jumps forward, starving, and bites into this turkey or whatever, and the turkey outercoating falls away. Ta da! An anvil! Then the guy's teeth shatter like glass. Kind of like that. Wow, that was a long analogy, huh? Anyway, so, yeah, now my keyboard's covered in melted 'butter,' which isn't really butter, but vegetable shortening or something. All this fake butter must be part of some conspiricy. Like maybe the food companies want to make fake food and put drugs in it and use us as human test subjects. Aha! That's it! Yeah, I'll shut up and keep eating my uneatable bread...


Well, thanks for all the posts! I really appreciate them! As you can tell, I've been tinkering with the Offenders and it's still spiting me at the moment. But, I shall prevail for I am Sailor Moon, defender of justice and friendship and rainbows and bishounen and bunnies and all that gooey or otherwise cute stuff! Fear me and my excessively tight uniform! Fear me! Ah, now I'm just rambling. Can you tell that school was horrifically boring? Normally, history, the most interesting class, surprisingly, involved reading and taking notes from the textbook. Booorrriiiinng.


Glad you all enjoyed my little prance through the world of Rurouni Kenshin. I thought it was pretty funny. Yeah, but I usually come up with stuff like this late at night and go 'Yeah, I should use that on myO!' with the weirdest things. I think I may just spend the whole day tomorrow speaking Japanese at every opportunity (even in Spanish class XD) and saying either 'that it is' or 'oro?!' all day. Yesh. I would use the Japanese phrase for the first one, but I can't remember how to say it exactly. ^^;;


Finally finished what episodes of Orphen I had. I think it's a very good series and I'd recommend it, especially if you're into sci-fi and all that magic stuff. I'm currently working on finishing Azumanga Daioh (2/3 done!). Well, I'd better head off. I've actually got stuff I'm supposed to be doing. ^^;; Sayonara!

(Anime) Witch Hunter Robin: Shell (N/A)

Opening Song

Hitomi wo fuseruto sugukieteshimaisoude
Jibun ga mishiranu tanin ninattaki gasuru
Kanashiihodo chippokena
Sukuwaretaikara tameiki wo tsukuno janaku
Kakidashite shimatta kodoku no kehai no kazu wo Tada kazoeteita
It's like I'll disappear as soon as I close my eyes
I feel like I've turned into someone that even I don't recognize
Sadly, I've become so small
I want to be rescued, but instead of sighing
I vomited up my loneliness, and just lay there, measuring it all up

Kawaita jikan no nakade
Oboreterumogaiteru kokoro
Memaiga surukurai no uso wo
Uketomete hikisaita
Soshite watashi ga
mayoikomunowa
Usuyami no sekai
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that,
I became lost
In a world of thin darkness. [1]

Shinjirubekimonono tamenitoeranda basho wa
Jiyuu wo kagi nishita ori no nakadeshou Kesshite mou Nukedasenai
Kawaita nodo no oku de
Hajimatta hakanasa no wake wa
Chikazuku ashita ga kowaikara
Uzukumari kuzuretemo
Watashi wo sagashite sasayakikakeru
Usuyami no koe
For the sake of those whom I should trust
I chose to come here, a cage into which I've locked myself, and now
there's
no escape.
Deep inside my parched throat
Lies the reason for this growing impermanence [2]
Scared of the approaching tomorrow
I cower and collapse
But it seeks me out and whispers to me
This voice of thin darkness. [1]

Kawaita jikan no nakade
Oboreteru mogaiteru kokoro
Memaig asurukurai no uso wo
Uketomete hikisaita Soshite watashi ga
Mayoikomunowa
Usuyami no sekai
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that, I became lost
In a world of thin darkness.
