Thank you, yami seto for caring! I haven't been getting many comments lately, so it really means a lot! Yes, I survived being in the woods for 5 days. And I have to admit, it was fun! I went swimming, canoeing, kayaking, played cards (and learned a few card tricks!), and just was in the sun with my friends! I thought it would be bad, but it wasn't really. The ticks were gross though. *shudder* sorry for lack of good rants. I'm just tired from work. ugh. Maybe I'll rant about my stupid hours someday soon, alright? Take Care! I saw sig-n's next to the row-ad for gay-s for the auto-moe-bee-lays. I wonder what gay-s is? My friend michelle and I on the way back from the canoe trip. If you don't get it, don't worry about it. heh.

Alas, I will go missing in the woods from tomorrow until Monday. I will be going on a trip with school so that I don't have to take P.E. class (for Sami, liikunta) next year. I'm not really looking forward to seeing a "particular" friend, but it's ok. She's just a fake and I don't have time for fakes...yeah. That's about it. So I'm going to be gone, so don't worry. (doubt anyone will) Take Care! ~Minako Ray-ray:...We're defenders for evil. Monroe: We're defenders AGAINST evil!

Ok, a warning to Teen Titans bashers, this next rant will be solely on the newest episode, "The Prophecy," so if you don't give a rat's booty about TT, leave now. I won't hold it against you, everyone has their personal taste! ^_^ Oh. My. God. This episode was FREAKING AWESOME!! My heart was pounding through this entire episode! I was enjoying every second of it! (Well, maybe the whole scene at the library with just Robin, Cyborg, Star, and BB was kind of...eh) Otherwise, I was glued to the tv. It explains what the prophecy is, and that Raven is the gem that Trigon needs to destroy the world! I didn't get that she was the gem until Robin said it. And the ending, OH MY GOD, the ending! Trigon [to Slade]: For your loyalty [or something like that] I will return to you what you have lost.. The question that instantly popped into my mind: What did Slade lose??? Then I thought: Terra. That thought left immediately because at the end of the Terra arc, she eventually betrays Slade and returns to the Titans before she (virtually) kills herself. Why would Slade want a traitor? I went to some forums and there was talk of Robin and Slade's life (they say he's dead, but I believe that he's alive) or his family. The whole family thing goes back to the comics. Apparantly his ex-wife and two sons are dead, and they would bring him back. Though I also read arguments that his sons aren't dead, but I haven't read the comic books so I wasn't that interested. If you like this episode, I'd really like to hear your thoughts on what Slade will get returned to him! Okay, going to take some sedatives because this show has made my heart go crazy! (just joking) ~Minako

I have a legitimate rant today! Not the boring goings-on of my life! *chuckles* I have a love/hate relationship with love stories and "chick flicks." Why do I dislike these romantic forms of entertainment? Don't get me wrong, it's so lovely to see two people who are so OBVIOUSLY into each other FINALLY get together for their happy ending. It really makes one believe that love overcomes all, but no. In real life, I mean the reality we all live in day by day, this doesn't happen. We don't (literally) bump into someone on the street and find out later that he/she is my soulmate. If one were to bump into someone on the street, we'd say "Watch where you're going, you *insert adjective here*!" This, in turn, makes me depressed that it doesn't happen the way it does in the movies. Then it turns into how pathetic I am for the fact that I haven't had a boyfriend..ever, and then this results in me eating a giant bar of Finnish chocolate. (Mmm...Fazer) In a sense, I love the happy ending, but then I realize that in reality, it doesn't always happen that way. *sniffs and goes and eats a gallon of chocolate ice cream* ~Minako Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong Now I can't breathe, no I can't sleep I’m barely hanging on CHORUS: Here I am, once again I’m torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes I told you everything, opened up and let you in You made me feel alright, for once in my life Now all that’s left of me is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside Cause I can’t breathe, no I can’t sleep I’m barely hanging on Chorus Swallow me, then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you, it kills me now No, I don’t cry on the outside anymore Anymore Chorus x2 Kelly Clarkson's, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" (Though my eyes are green)

Hello! How do you like my new site colors? I got bored with the old set and was playing around and I found that this set was pretty interesting. I have news! I have been chosen to review danfelton's submission for Tokyo Pop's Manga Talent Competition! I'm very excited! Dan is an amazing artist and I feel very honored to be on his "reviewers" list! Thanks again Dan!! Yeah, sorry for lack of posts. I've been...*gasp* at. work. Yes, I work now. I work at a "doggy daycare." In other words, I watch dogs all day. Not that I don't like dogs, my family breeds dogs! It's just that noone told me that I was going to be outside for 6 hours a day, and I got sunburned really bad the first day. (Last Wednesday) But yesterday I was prepared! I wore a long-sleeved t-shirt and a baseball cap! (If you're lost, I started on Wednesday, I had thursday off, and I worked yesterday.) My job's ok, not the best, but hey, I get paid for it. Our school is also doing a play, as usual, and I tried out. (We're doing A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare) If you know anything about this play, I tried out for Helena, not knowing what part I wanted. I, personally, thought I did ok, but apparantly my director thought otherwise. I'm a fairy. This means I'm an extra i.e. no lines. at all. In the last plays/musicals I've been in at school, I've had semi-big parts. Not the lead, of course, but reasonable sized parts. I thought that this is my senior year (which means my last year of High School), I thought I would get another reasonable-sized part. *sigh* Well, I must admit that there WEREN'T a lot of female roles. Were there, maybe, three or four? The rest were boys. *shrug* I'm bummed, but we're supposedly having another play in the spring instead of our usual musical. Maybe then I'll get a good part. I'm debating whether or not I should be in the play anymore. It conflicts with work anyway.. But this post is getting long and I'm going to let you people lead your lives. I also got Yahoo! messenger, my username is: comicminako if you want to reach me. Take Care, Minako Raven:You may have taught me spells, but I've learned a new curse. From Teen Titans episode, "Spellbound" just before Raven beats up Malchior. You go girl.

I'm home, and I have a scanner. *mischevious look* Expect some art in the near future. I'm probably going to be uploading a BOATLOAD but I'll space it out to about 1-3 pics a day, alrighty? Just so you guys don't get flooded by my art. heh. And now that I'm home, our main computer won't let me look at comments. HOWEVER, our laptop downstairs, that has wireless internet (on the same net as the main computer) lets me. *shrugs* Modern technology nowadays. That's about it for me. Stay tuned for art. ~Minako Robin:Why'd you tell me to make it to the top of the mountain before sunset?? True Master:It would be easier to see the path. *later on* True Master:..You take yourself too seriously, Young Warrior. [Robin] Quote from Teen Titans episode, "The Quest"

Happy Traaails, To Mee..

Yes, I am packing to go home. It's been a long ride, and now it's over. I still can't comprehend that it's come to this, but it has. Soon, I won't have to be within these walls of pain and heartache (i.e. my uncle's house) and I will get to lie in my OWN bed, in my OWN house (well, my family's house), see my OWN friends (well, I have friends here too..), and see my OWN school! (I'm visiting my school on Tuesday..) Although it's nice to go home, I'm still going to miss my friends that I've made here in Finland. *sniffle* I LOVE YOU GUYS!! *group hug* So I may or may not be on myO for a bit. I'm not sure what mood I'll be in (jet-lag. grr.), if you don't see me, don't fret, and if you do...well...don't fret. heh. Take Care now! ~Minako This quote's long... zankoku na tenshi no you ni shounen yo shinwa ni nare aoi kaze ga ima mune no doa wo tataite mo watashi dake wo tada mitsumete hohoenderu anata sotto fureru mono motomeru koto ni muchuu de unmei sae mada shiranai itaikena hitomi dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou sono senaka ni wa haruka mirai mezasu tameno hanega ga arukoto zankoku na tenshi no thesis madobe kara yagate tobitatsu hotobashiru atsui patosu de omoide wo uragiru nara kono sora wo daite kagayaku shounen yo shinwa ni nare zutto nemutteru watashi no ai no yurikago anata dake ga yume no shisha ni yobareru asa ga kuru hosoi kubisuji wo tsukiakari ga utsushiteru sekaijuu no toki wo tomete tojikometai kedo moshimo futari aeta koto ni imi ga aru nara watashi wa sou jiyuu wo shiru tame no baiburu zankoku na tenshi no thesis kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru dakishimeta inochi no katachi sono yume ni mezameta toki dare yori mo hikari wo hanatsu shounen yo shinwa ni nare hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara rekishi wo tsukuru megami nante narenai mama watashi wa ikiru zankoku na tenshi no thesis madobe kara yagate tobitatsu hotobashiru atsui patosu de omoide wo uragiru nara kono sora wo daite kagayaku shounen yo shinwa ni nare The theme song from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I don't really have a good rant topic and I'm behind on my Member of the week too. Thus, no rant and no member of the week this week. The one from last week will carry over to this one. (Go Sami!) You can see SamSandy's site here. I just have an announcement too... I'm going to be in the US of A by next week monday, 12:20 CST. yeah. Percy Bysshe Shelley Love's Philosophy The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle— Why not I with thine? See the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdain'd its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea— What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me? poem found on poetry.com. I don't like my colors. I'll change them someday. ~Minako

'Yello. I'm actually posting for once because something's on my mind. It ALL started today with an especially mushy episode of the Bold and the Beautiful. So I go to thinking about last year after play practice one day... You see, I liked a guy who happened to play the part of Wilbur in a particular fall play of ours and my friend Mike knew about it. (the whole liking Wilbur thing. although I liked him too..) ANYWHO, one day, he decided to go all cryptic on me and said "Oh you like Wilbur so much, and it's okay, you like him so much..." My hormones went, "WHAAAT???" So for WEEKS and MONTHS afterwards, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I liked him. He (apparantly) liked me. I had no idea what was going on. I eventually fell head over heels in love, and it ended up with my heart being broken. It physically HURT to see him and know that I can't have him (he had a girlfriend at the time. I heard that the relationship wasn't going so well. *cough* *cough* Don't ask. -_-;). I don't blame him at all for my heart being broken, it was entirely my fault falling for a guy I couldn't have. (Trust me ladies, it's the worst feeling in the world.) So I got to thinking, what if me and Mike got together? I couldn't say, and I'm almost glad we didn't. We're good friends and I wouldn't want to lose that. (Well, if something should happen...THEN we'll talk. heh heh.) I also think we were both confused with our emotions and stuff. I've noticed last year that I did a lot of stupid stuff (like that horrible comic I drew *embarrassed*), but I think it was because I was so scared of this year, my foreign exchange year. I just kept distracting myself from the truth. I'm also a bit confused too. How come whenever I think about the whole in-love-with-Mike-thing, my heart flutters? It's like for a second I was in love with him again. (I actually wrote him a song, how corny. That was a LOOONG time ago.. *embarrassed*) What does that mean? Does that mean I like him still? Eh. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I was just wondering. I'm not going to keep thinking about "what if's" and think about what's ahead. Though I have to admit that I do have one regret with my life... I was never completely truthful to Mike about my feelings. (I DID tell him I liked him at one point and he took it well... then he said those things...) Next year, I have to steal him away for a walk or something and tell him the truth about Sophomore year. I don't want to live with this on my chest... right? ~Minako Things just get so crazy living life get's hard to do, I would gladly hit the road, Get up and go if I knew, That someday it would lead me back to you, That someday it would lead me back to you... ~"Sunday Morning" Maroon 5
