[Apology]
If you were on aim at the same time as me yesterday and

a) I didn't approach you
b) say much

it's because I had things to take care of. Some rather urgent issues and some that simply took up my time.

This would also be an appropriate time to say that I rarely approach people on aim. Call it shyness, insecurity. I hate interrupting people, or forcing myself on others, so I sit back and wait for others to make the first move. Sorry ^_^;

Angels' Question

Q: If you could change one thing about anything, what would it be?

A: Hm.... Time difference. It's messing up my sleeping schedule pretty badly, so I'd alter it somehow ~_^

[Yesterday/Today]
Yes... I got very little sleep yesterday night, got up kind of early, and somehow managed to stay busy until 14.30 pm when I caught the bus to the big city. My sister had went there on Saturday, to attend a farewell party for an old friend, so we were to meet up at the cinema. To see "The Last Samurai" for the second time, of course ~_^

I got there around 16.00 pm and sat around. It didn't start until 18.00 and I had told my sister to be there at 17.30 (that way she could have as much time as possible with her friends). During that hour and a half, I got a headache =\

Luckily it went away as the movie started. There was a girl next to me in the theatre that irked at the fight scenes, which I found annoying/odd. I mean, the movie's about Samurais... the poster has Tom Cruise with a sword, charging at someone. Say it with me: "DUH ! Of course there's gonna be blood squirting !" But anyway >_>

This time around, it was quite different.
The first time I saw it, I had to fight an overwhelming urge to stand up and scream "HAI !" or something. I wept at the beauty, the messages, everything. And as I got home, I nearly blocked Boba because he thought I was a Tom Cruise fangirl *LOL*

If the girl that sat next to me had been around on my first viewing of the movie, I'd have easily ripped her pipes out. Now I just sat there and felt sorry for her, because she was missing out on the subtleties and the chore of the story.

Yesterday, I was eerily calm. I'd hate to spoil the movie for people who've not watched it, but there's a scene that perfectly describes how I felt.
The alley scene.
I'll not say more than that.

I need to see it again. Quite seriously. I really do.

EDIT: The supporting cast is just pwhoar. Everyone from Kastumoto's son, to the old guy that guards Tom Cruise. Not to mention Katsumoto's right-hand man. And the soldier that Tom challenges, or the Japanese lieuten--... high rank soldier guy ^_^;
Even the kiddies are doing an excellant job.
(Yes, I can't remember the names >__>; )

I seriously can't tell who's a professional actor and not ^_^

Man, I can't stop gushing about this movie *lol*

[v7]
Hehe, I've not said anything about v7 yet. Reading through the FAQ and Rules was quite amusing, very much like the HTML tutorial - maybe I'm odd that way, but I really enjoyed going over it ^_^

People have said that it's too squished, which I thought at first glance as well. But I've got my setting to 1024*768, so I've found myself not too bothered about any squishy-ness. And I like the menu on the left side.

It'll take me a while to get accustomed to the avi move. But that's not an actual issue =P
The sig limit is quite nice. I'm sure it was fun to play around with, but I felt my following of a thread was sometimes disturbed by the length of signatures =\

I adore the WYSIWYG !!! Editing text is a walk in the park now, no – it is a park bench that you sit on, in a park ! That's how good it is ~_^

The Liquid skin feels very.. liquid. As I assume it would feel like to dive, surrounded by water and feeling perfectly calm. A sort of Embrace.
It'll be cool to see what the coming skins look like though.

And that's about it for now, I've still not fully explored all the cool features that are incorporated ^_^;

Take Care Everyone !
Remember that people and Objects are only as much fun as you make of them ^_^
