I guess this is where I will rant. I don't have time now, except to say I wish I knew what I was doing on this blasted page. And there are some things that aren't worth your time. Like cleaning underneath and behind stuff every week. Nobody cares. And if they do care, they're being petty, and I don't care what they think anyway.
Um, I hope this works. Sweatdrop. Buen suerte a mi! Ja ne, minna-san!

Yo! Hey, I just watched the new Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, and I got some thoughts.
YuYu Haka...whatever. The show where the kid uses his finger like a gun and everybody has Brooklyn accents. It's cool! I remembered reading about this show in a magazine, and I can't wait to see more of it! Very violent, but not gratuitously so. Kookaburra, or whatever his name is (yeah, yeah, I know, his name is Kura...um, I forget. So Kookaburra stays) has an annoying voice, but I got used to it. He's noble! In an odd way. I can't wait 'til that red-headed bishonen shows up. Bishonen with roses, martial arts, spirit worlds...I've got a good feeling about this one.
Pilot Candidate
What the jikugo is this show about?! These little dudes who ripped off the G-boys and Dilandau want to be goddesses? Girls can't be pilots? Boys can't be nurses? The kid named Zero can't use verbs ("Wo-man! Wo-man! Window? To the left? Fight! Fight!")? And they totally ripped off Quatre's character! The little dude has his hair and eye color, and his personality! And "Victim" is the agressor? Besides all that stuff I Have No Idea What's Going On! On a positive note, the guy who pilots the blue and white "goddess" has awesome green hair and one awesome earring. A 10 on the bishonen scale (Duo being a 69 and Trowa being a -8).
Gundam 0083 is cool too. Nice characters. And the hero actually looks kindof Japanese. Two points for diversity. Cool fighting. I hope we get to know the Zeon guys as well.
Oh yeah, and I realized that I haven't been real faithful to the promise of no yaoi. Gamen nasai. I think Kevin is the only one who will see this site anyway. Oh well.
There is no hentai! Promise!
March 13
Well...there is a bit of pervertedness here. But only if you have a dirty mind (James!). For all the juniors in high school out there...Research papers reek. Majorly. So if there are no updates here for a while, that is why. I'll be up 'til 1:00 tonight...
I'll shut up now.
March 15
Yeah, I am great at wasting time...
And in case I don't get to update before then...Happy St. Patrick's Day! BTW, I have this theory on Duo's ethnic origin. Sure, he's American, but I don't think they mean Native American and if you're American you probably came from somewhere else originally, right? So Duo is German and Irish. Because, as my history teacher says, the Germans brew the beer and the Irish drink the beer. Also, they tend to be Catholic. People with the same ethnicity tend to settle in the same area. Duo lived in a Catholic area. See, I can say all this stuff because I'm German and Irish, and also French, and I'm not offended. If you are, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Are you offended Kevin? Yes? Good. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
March 29
Wazzup, homies (Kevin)? I'm on spring break, so expect muchas updatas. I am currently enjoying watching my siblings and one of their friends sing and smack their foreheads along with the Benedictine monks from Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail. Quite fun.
Now they are dancing and impersonationg Clark Gable with the Knights of the Round Table. Someone save me.
By the way, I now have a car named Nataku, because it is green and full of JUSTICE! The Otaku Mobile is muy good, as my friend would say.
Want something fun to do? Get the Monty Python and the Holy Grail on DVD, and watch it in Japanese. It becomes Monty Python and the Holy Sake Cup! NANI? HA HA HA!
Happy Easter! Jesus love you! Prayers for Brett (see his picture in the pictures section) because he is being baptized Saturday!
April 1
Thanks for the prayers, everyone (Kevin). Not much to say...I hope Indiana wins...I saw about ten minutes of YYH on Sat. Kurama! Whew, what a hottie! He's got red hair, and gorgeous green eyes. And he looks so sensitive and troubled! I love it! What kind of super power only works once a day?! Dumb rei gun. I do love that ending theme, though. Tick tock tick!
Like I said, not much to say. I'm going away for a couple days. Ja ne!
April...something...19!
Well, I haven't been gone all that time! Wazzup? Does anyone know when this show "Bonzai" comes on? Help me, I looked for it but I couldn't find it.
Y'know what stinks? Projects. Like "Make a diorama!" Whee. Like "Write the first chapter of the sequel to this book." Can't wait. Actually, I asked the teacher if I could do a comic book instead of making 14 bookmarks, and she was cool with it. Yay manga! So I better stop complaining. I like that teacher, actually. I'm the minority in my class.
Speaking of manga... It got a few mentions in the TV guide I was reading. They were like, "...and a lot of these shows are in the anime style because their creators grew up watching robot shows" and I'm like "Duh! Anime and manga are cool and you TV people are just noticing?" Oh well.
Hey, that one kid, Joey, on Yugi-Oh has a cool voice. Like Tony Taponi from An Ameican Tail.
And Kevin, George Michael and Phil Collins are definitely not the same person, and they definitley don't have anything to do with rabbits or whatever you were talking about earlier. Sigh, poor George. No one knows him anymore. (cries for Faith, which was butchered by Fred Durst and now everyone thinks he wrote the song and he definitely didn't! Wow, I think I used Definitely three times in one paragraph. And probably spelled it wrong each time. Oh well.
Love you all (Kevin), ja ne!

Hola! Wazzup. I've got a job. At la bibloteca. I am a page, and I shelve books. So exciting, you are thinking to yourself. NOT! Yes, that's what you might think. However, I am actually an undercover "not of this earth" being who is studying the humans. There is a man who is on to me. Every day, he comes to the library under the guise of an internet card-playing addict, but he is really observing me. He has no proof, and YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE! We get out of school next week, and I am so ready!
Luxembourg.
This is actually a small European city, not a country, as was previously stated on this page. Well, not that small. But not big enough to worry me. Yeah, I have stuff to do, but I'd rather sit here and type incoherent ramblings. What about you, don't you have stuff to do? C'mon, you know you should be studying or cleaning or working or going to the bathroom, but you can't tear yourself away from this page! Ha ha ha! General Patton, the llamas have taken Luxemburg! (If you haven't noticed, I don't even know how to spell Luxemberg)
Megaman: I'm not done yet!
(gets shot)
Megaman: Nevermind.
(explodes in a bubbly inferno)

Wassup. Y'know that feeling you get when it's love at first sight? The whole world seems happy. The computer is happy. The hungry cat is happy. The angry man in the car behind me honking at me because I am being safe and not turning right on red because THERE IS A CAR COMING, YOU CLOWNY CLOWN!!@! is happy. Adobe Pagemaker is happy, even though it hates me.
I obsess about anime shows like other girls get crushes. Every once in a while one gets old, and a new one comes along. TRIGUN IS AWESOME! Not as cool as Gundam Wing, but nothing is. So, Trigun gets the honor of being the first anime series I've ever bought without seeing it on TV first. Renting Ranma 1/2 for 4 bucks at Blockbuster is not the same as buying a DVD with only four episodes on it for 30 dollars!!!!! Anyway...back to love at first sight.
I remember the first time I ever saw James (Kojiro). I was baby-sitting, and he was on a Pokemon puzzle. Eeeeeeh, I was lost from that moment. Then I saw Malachite (are you noticing a pattern here?). Then I saw Zechs (okay, he doesn't fit the pattern, oh well). Interestingly enough, I was not instantly in love with Duo Maxwell. Heck, I wasn't even sure he was a guy. I just thought "Wow, a priest-type person! That is awesome!"
So anyway. I was reading about Trigun and I read that there was this priest-type person who had interesting ideas about religion. "Yay!" I said. "I love to hear new ideas and tear them apart like string cheese!"
So, I bought Trigun. VASH IS AWESOME! Ha ha ha! The day after I watched it, I bought some Vash sunglasses. Last fall, I was telling my friends to call me Spike Speigal. Now I want them to call me Vash the Stampede, or the Humanoid Typhoon. But this isn't about Vash. It's about his buddy Nicholas D. Wolfwood. He he he! He's not even in the episodes that I've seen, and I always tell myself that I'm not going to spoil it for myself and stay away from the fanfiction until I've actually watched the whole series, but yep, I went on Anipike today and I looked at Trigun sites and I SAW HIM! Dang it, and he's supposed to be a priest or something. Something. I dunno, but he has the coolest gun! Wow! Please know that when I say "love" I mean "WOW I so want to be that person!" So, I hope he lives up to my expectations, and I am NOT going to cheat and read his bio before I meet him in the series (manga doesn't count!)!
May something....no, June!
Que tal? Not much here. Just YEARBOOK! gr. Trigun is awesome, I missed YYH, and I get to sleep in tomorrow. Did you see Hamtaro? The ending theme is so cool if you dance to it! Guess what? Sailor Moon is back on Cartoon Network, and it starts at the beginning episode! Like, Jadeite! Wow, I've never really gotten a chance to study him. Nice voice! Eeehhhh...Anyway, I finally got to see Titus, I mean, I guess that girl was Titus...Yeah, there's definitely a thing between them!
ZOI! until later!

DEFENSE
Well, I've just spent way too much on time on sites devoted to hating Gundam Wing. Sure it's funny, but after a while you start to get depressed. I mean, yeah, Gundam Wing has its flaws and it is fun as anything to laugh at, but it is also a terrific anime series. I know all you high-and-mighty veterans think it'a a rip-off and a sell-out and kiddie stuff, but gimme a break. Have you actually watched it?
Go ahead and rip on the convoluted plot, or the techno music, or Heavyarms and Trowa, or Heero's clothes, but really, do you have to pick on the characters (clowns not included). What really got me was when one person said Duo was too religious, because the person said he/she was anti-religion. Um, did anyone catch the fact that Duo calls himself the God of Death? That he never talks about the time he spent at the Catholic school? That Duo, at the time of the series, really doesn't want to believe in God? And that the all of that is implied and never actually on the show? As for the rest of the Boys, Quatre is emotionally the strongest char on the show and not a wuss. He's the only one who can look at a situation honestly and still do (what he thinks is) the right thing. Heero...okie dokie, teenage homicidal maniac, I'll give you that, it's ....well, it's Gundam Wing. Only this show could pull it off. Part of the show is Heero finding out what it is to be human, and not just a killing machine. It's very interesting. Wufei, don't even start. I don't always like him, but how could you degrade his character? How is screaming at hyenas not cool? Yeah, yeah, I know Zechs is a rip off Char, and I was mad when I found out. But it doesn't stop Zechs from being cool in his own right.
Mecha. Whoo-hoo! Hey, you snotty veterans, I don't care if a beamscythe is impractical. So is any mecha. IT LOOKS COOL!!! There. Duh. I'm not saying the original Gundam doesn't have a certain special something that makes me want to take an interest in science and math so I can build one to sit in and look at and crush things with, but why stop there? I like scythes. A lot.
Plot. Who cares. The actual plot is confusing and even really, really hard-core fans couldn't explain it to you. The people who wrote it couldn't explain it to you. But WHO CARES. The series is about being young and morality (with bishonen and mecha on the side). As long as they get the point across.
Finally, a show can't be all that bad if it inspires such great fanfiction. C'mon, some of this stuff is really saying something. The characters are so awesome...they're just awesome. I can forgive stock footage and corny music and corny dialogue because Gundam Wing has three things nobody else has---Deathscythe Hell, really awesome female characters who not only look nice but kick butt, and the G-BOYS!

Yo. Yesterday I saw Animerica at the mall and guess who was on the cover? No, not Duo. Spike and Faye! It was the "sex issue" ha ha ha. They had lists of the sexiest girl characters and the sexiest guy characters. I had no money left over from buying the next three eps of Trigun on DVD, so I couldn' buy the magazine, but I scanned the list in the store and I am MAD! Duo was like, way down the list, behind Heero and Wufei, and Quatre wasn't on it at all, that I saw. Guess who was just ahead of Duo? Tuxedo Mask! Are these people crazy? Guess who was just ahead of Vash the Stampede? Trowa Barton! The INJUSTICE! The list was compiled by the people who run the magazine, and obviously, they are guys. I'm not too mad about the girls list, 'cause Armitage was in the top three, if I remember correctly, and Dorothy Catalonia was pretty high up there (yay!). Sailor Uranus also made it, as did Ryoko. Hm, yes, I think guys did both these lists. Jeeze. I am so ashamed for Duo. Jeeze. He's gonna go drop off the face of the earth now, you stupid idiots. Did those people even see Endless Waltz? C'mon, look at those pants! The whole running around screaming like an idiot, isn' t that attractive? Jeeze! The braid! The smile! The smile! Man...But anyway, Anime Invasion is back on the market, and I bought a candy bar that came with a Trigun mini-poster. Cool. Ja ne.
August...2, i think....
Sup. Now that I'm back from vacation, my life is hectic again. Oh well, I have some neat-o songs on my computer...Oh yeah, Brett and I broke up, but we're still friends, so I guess I should clean up that section that's all about me and him going out...later, I'm so tired, and I have to go work with computers all day tomorrow. Gosh diddley darn. Oh well, service hours. What's new with you? Nothing? Oh. I thought as much. Nothing. That's about all I ever think, ha ha. . I need to do some housework, but I'm saving up all my cleaning energy for when I iron during Adult Swim. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the futility of it all, but hell, cest la vi and viva la risistance, as Wu-Fei would say ( I still can't figure out if that is his last name or his first. I think it's his first....) Rocket Dan yo eien ni! As long as I know what I'm talking about, it's all good. As long as I like to read what I've written, it doesn't matter if no one else ever reads it, does it? Right. Promise, promise, I will dedicate a whole day to typing soon and I will get a bunch of nice fics up here. Yee haw. I'm thinking about sending some to Aishiteru, the non-yaoi fic site...Mm, I know for a fact you can slip in a little 3+4 shonen-ai and not get censored...Have I written anything that has nothing to do with yaoi? Um...not in Gundam Wing. Most of my Gundam Wing is Quatre struggling to be a good kid, so...maybe I can submit some to Addicted to Gundam Wing. If anyone goes there anymore...ah well, cest la vi, live long and prosper, or whatever, as my sister says. I do love you all, and I do mean all of you. Pray.
Friday the 13th, September
I would like to take a moment to ask everyone who comes here (Kevin?) to pray for the victims of September 11, 2001, and to pray also for the people who were behind it, and for peace all over the world. And for an end to abortion, and for all the souls in Purgatory, and that all of us on Earth come to know God...
Ja ne.
