Well, I talked to "Chris"... He was just weird because hte thought I was mad at him for forgetting to dance with me. I told him that I wasn't, I was just a little bummed. He was otherwise ok with it. He said he'd DEFINATELY dance with me at Winter Formal and Prom. At least, he'd going to dance with me at prom. *shrug* It wasn't what I wanted him to say, but I'm a hopeless romantic. I always sugar-coat everything (i.e. meaning that you make things look better than they really are). *sigh* Don't worry, I'm ok with it, really. I kind of feel that there was something left unsaid. Oh well, I guess. The most important thing is that we're ok now, and I'm glad. It was just kind of funny, that whenever we'd find a place to go and talk, a bunch of other people came in too! (We were laughing about it.) That's about it for me. Just thought you'd like an update on things with "Chris." ~Minako

Grr. The opposite sex can be so confusing. If you want to avoid moody ranting, go elsewhere. Yeah. I have this guy friend, let's call him "Chris." So, Chris and I have been friends for, what, 4 years now, and I can't possibly remember a time that I didn't like him. I think that I only became friends with him in the beginning BECAUSE I liked him. (I was so stupid back then...Not that I'm not now!) I have grown to really appreciate him as a friend but I've always wished that there were something more. At one point, he had a girlfriend, and I actually LOVED him at the same time. It just KILLED me to think of how much I loved him, and I couldn't have him. Now I realize, this stupid love thing may have had to do with fear of my foreign exchange year. I just wanted something to hold onto, and I realize that a boy probably wasn't the best way to do it, and I'm glad that nothing happened that way. After I found out some nasty facts about things he was diong with that girlfriend at the time, my heart split in two. I still wasn't angry with him, and I vowed that I'd never like him again after that. When I was away, I didn't like him. In fact, I didn't really like anybody, but at that time, I was strictly against getting a boyfriend, so it wasn't a big deal. Guess what happened when I came back? Just one good look at him, and POW! I liked him again. In the beginning, it wasn't a big deal. I had a lot of other stuff on my mind, so it kind of got pushed to the side. After a brief giddy period, I realized that he has NEVER liked me, and never will. He's just a flirty guy, I know this for a fact. He flirts with all my single friends (who are girls) Then enter Homecoming. He then asked me very sweetly to save a dance for him. (Of course I said yes.)At the dance, he forgot to dance with me (not surprising for "Chris"), but I yelled at him for it and he danced with me the last bit of the song with me. That dance...well...I felt for that one moment...He was mine, and nobody elses. He held me so tight...I didn't understand. During this dance, he said that he'd make it up to me. I asked how, and he said that he couldn't tell me that, I'd see when the time came. I then asked him when he'd tell me what he'd do. He thought for what seemed like forever, and he said, "By Winter formal (another dance in which us girls wear pretty dresses) or Prom I'll know." Afterwards, I bugged him at school about it and he hugged me for a long time. (It would have been longer but I had a test to review for. >_< ) I then wrote a note to him, because I realized that he was sincerely sorry for forgetting. I wrote at the end (being mischevious) "what if I can't wait for Winter formal or Prom? *raises eyebrows*" (exact words) Now he's weird to me now. He's done this before when I've told him (God knows) how many times I've liked him. I'm almost positive that he likes someone else, and I know he can't like me...but I just...I'm just so new to this whole guy thing, that I can't even realize flirting from actually liking me. It's not like he goes out of his way to talk to me or hang out with me. I guess he's just flirty. Tomorrow I HAVE to talk to him. I want to ask him point-blank "Why are you avoiding me?" To me, my friendship with him comes first, then if it turns into something more, GREAT! If not, I'll deal with it. I guess I'm just having a hard time coming terms with reality. Any opinions? I could use your help. (Please take into account that I've never had a relationship before...not one that counted, at least.) Take Care. ~Minako Don't dream to far, Don't lose sight of who you are, Don't remember that rush of joy, He could be that boy, I'm not that girl... ~Elphaba from the Broadway show Wicked

Ok, I know that it's been a while, and I'm not dead. I had an AWESOME weekend! I went with my school to see the broadway musical, Wicked. Might I say that this is the best musical I've ever seen! The music was awesome (very catchy), the dancing was great, the story was great, even the costumes were great! There was even a mechanical dragon! What was Wicked about anway? Why, let me tell you. Wicked is about the childhood and life of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba. (ELF-a-ba) Elphaba was played by Ana Gasteyer from SNL... The story made many of the things in the movie make sense (the scarecrow, tinman, the cowardly lion, the shoes...). All in all, I was speechless. I'd go see it again if I could! So, for my quote today, I will use a few from Wicked. Take Care, Be safe. ~Minako Elphaba: So you lied to them? Wizard: Not verbally.. Nessarose:(Elaphaba's disabled sister) What's in the punch? Boq:(A munchkin boy) Lemons, melons and pears. Nessarose:Oh my! Galinda:She's exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe.. Elphaba: BLONDE.

You like my background picture?? Good. Now, I have a question for you guys, do any of you know to make the text background (in my case, this black part) to be clear, so that the background shows through, AND/OR does anybody know how to make a table? Thanks a lot! ~Minako

Sorry for the lack of posts, I just haven't had a lot of things to talk about. Now that I have two days of school under my belt, I can say that I have a HUGE workload ahead of me. I have 2 AP classes, Chemistry, Physics, the required courses (of course), study hall, AND german as an independant study. *faints* Well, it's not my fault that I didn't understand Chemistry and physics last year! It was in a foreign language! heh heh. oh well. Now that my parents are gone, it's kind of nice to be by myself. My parents took a bunch of the dogs with them so it's a little quieter (not that we don't have loud ones here...). AND I can actually have friends over!! That's about it for my short ramblings. Take care. ~Minako I never realized how pretty you look when you're about to fall off a building... ~Danny from Danny Phantom

Anime Reviews...If not interested, don't read.

Ok, I have just finished Chobits and Fruits Basket and I thought that it would be interesting to post my opinions on it and hear some feedback from you guys! ^_^ First off, I'd like to start with Fruits Basket. May I say that this was a WONDERFUL anime! The characters were drawn beautifully and you easily fell in love with them. I loved the whole Kyo-Yuki rivalry. It just added a little bit of drama (I mean the fight scenes) and yet a little bit of comedy to this series. And I just loved Shigure! (*sings* High School girls, High school girls...) FruBa as a whole is pretty easy watching. The colors are easy on the eyes and the story is interesting. It makes you want to see what each member of the zodiac is like and/or what they're zodiac sign is. (I, myself, am a dragon, like Hatori.) I also just could NOT comprehend how Tohru Honda could be so optimistic. She was always thinking about somebody else and never asked for anything. The ending of this series was VERY sad to me! It's sad because of Kyo and his true form and how his family shunned him. Tohru was just devastated and if it weren't for Hana (the psychic one) she wouldn't have gone back to Kyo and told him how she felt. She admitted that she was afraid of him like that and he said that he was glad that she told him the truth, unlike his mother. After that whole ordeal, Tohru goes in front of Akito! Now that guy is creepy. He nearly forces her to *cough* yeah, but Yuki and Shigure hold him back. The way that Tohru touches him the way that she has touched all the other members of the Sohmas just proved how much this family needed her. All-in-all, I loved this series and I would recommend it to anyone! I give it a 9.5/10! I'll do my review on Chobits tomorrow, so I don't bore you with my silly opinions. ~Minako Shigure: (to Tohru) So you're a dog? No wonder I like you so much! ~Shigure Sohma, Fruits Basket

Ok, done crying now. If you guys want to see some artwork of mine (recent artwork) go to my deviantart site. I'm really lazy with re-sizing my works for myO. There IS one pic missing, and it's a picture I drew especially for my dear friend ElvesAteMyRamen. I'll have to re-size that one and post it on myO for her. ^,~ I'll proabably re-size Elves-chan's pic, but I'm too lazy for the rest. How do you guys like my new avatar of Kyo from Fruits Basket? ~Minako You damn rat. ~Kyo Sohma, Fruits Basket. I have to write down those quotes from FruBa! I keep forgetting them! -_-;
