Distractions...

Ok, so I have gotten AIM to work & consequently got distracted by discussions of Sorata's (lack of) nipples, etc etc. :p And of course, me whinging about Dais-is-an-uke's (lack of) eye colour. Daughter-dear suggests golden brown, which I quite like as long as it's different to Yuuto's eyes. She apparently thinks I hate boys...heheheh no comment. XD OH!! Also thanks to daughter for finding a scan of evil Ohime-sama, where it's pretty much conclusive that Hinoto has very little in the breast-area. *SOB SNIFF* Interestingly enough, she's standing up in that pic; just like the Tarot card of good!Hinoto. So that makes two colour pictures where she's standing. *^_^*
And Keri-chan, no Daisuke is not a man, not as long as he's Hinoto's (of all people) uke. LOL You really thought I wanted to rip his pants off? Aw that's so sweet! XD I rather imagine that the feeling is mutual on his part regarding complete distaste mypantsripping-wise. *giggle*

RL stuff: the nephew has learnt a new trick, namely sitting up. ^__^ He always turns on a big smile for me & is quite the charming little blighter. Babies are evil, people; don't have them. XD


Which Subaru are you?

brought to you by Quizilla
*SNIK* Ooo, I'm pure!! ROFLMAO I shall go bathe in fountains of goats milk, then.



Do you give a fuck?
This quiz style was designed by alanna, adapted by Batfish Designs, and created by Missanthropy
Yep, I'm a big sucker. =)

aliiiiii-chaaaaaaaan!!! I'm so happy to hear your house is safe after all! *GLOMPS* That's really great. You were really stressed about it, weren't you. Well, that's great. ^_______^

LOL Yes, I put sensible answers to the MASH quiz on all but one line, just to see if the computer would take the piss. And guess what; the computer took the piss. XD XD XD So...one million kids^^;;; In fact I'm more worried about how we're all going to fit into Subby's garage to live. Hopefully angsty rich-boy has a very laaaaaarge garage.^^

Keri-chan (again ^_^;) yes yes yes, Daisuke's gonna get done around the house (mostly because he'll be trying to run away XD). I don't whether me or Dai will be more in need of the blindfold & the ten-foot barge pole^^;;; But oh well, Ohime-sama wants to avail herself of his facilities also, so...c'mon boy, rev up ya windmasterstick and let's get this over with.
Dai: MEEP! @_@; *trying to lock himself into the bathroom*
("Shirou-kun, did you know all your friends are vampires? just FYI" *big happy smile* -----> SNERK. :D And um, *cough* any chance of wind-type scans sometime? *pitiful kitty mew mew* =^.^=)

WHOO-HOO Ko-chan is back in business! YAY! *punches air*
BTW, that's a delicious layout. ^______^ The poem is delish too.

COOL!! I shall get over my titular-prejudice and give Cowboy Beebob a go, then. XD Hey, if it's SF I'm bound to like it. ^_^

*squeal* X Wars sounds like the most awesome-ist thing! *squeak* Count me in! I'll get off my lasy ass soon & go ask questions at the forum. :p Ahhhh, there will be BLOOD spilled when the Keiichi faction rises forth! XDDDDD

Links to Daisuke-esque doujinshi? Yes please! :D Bidding is kind of scarey, but I'd do some really quite stupid things to get hold of Dai-kun doujin, LOL. Like, crawling on my hands & knees through broken glass - that sort of thing. XD Anyway, the $NZ-Yen rate is a hell of a lot kinder than the $NZ-$US (try times 3 and then add on postage/shipping/handling, also times three...OTOH, I'm probably willing to pay $300 for Daisuke - hostage takers, take note! ROFL) My other trouble is that I'm completely useless at searching Ebay. I occasionally look for X chara file CDs there, & tend to get lots of info on Humphrey Bogart-shaped vases instead^^;;; LOL
Oh, don't mind me, I was just being melodramatic about the rabbits. ^_~ I don't have seizures when I see a Beatrix Potter book, or anything. It was just seeing the Watership Down movie age 8 and reading the book age 11 really really freaked me out at times. I can't listen to 'Bright Eyes' EVER. *brrrrrs* Plague Dogs was good, though, & maybe I should re-read Watership Down again now that I'm not so little. ^_^
Uhuh, I was 12 when I read Louise Cooper's 'Children of the Dust' and was terrified for a good six months. Get when my birthday is: Aug 6. The worst date in the world..*grinds teeth*
Ah, I'm not fond of change either. Whenever there was a new Doctor or companion I used to be highly sceptical. :P My main reason for liking the new Tommorow People was the line "I'm in love with mosquitoes". *grins* That was classic!!
But I must admit when it comes to telefantasy, the Brits do it best. Especially those wonderful old 80's shows with lots of CSO stuff. XD Never seen 'Children of the Stones', but it sounds wicked. ^__^ Um...'Robin of Sherwood' with Micheal Praed? Have you seen that one? Or, what about 'Sapphire & Steel'?

Ok, I'd better get back to the drawing board. Somewhere between a sudden bought of summery weather, the Daisuke cooking fiasco *BWEEHEHHEEE XD* & the Omake with Yuuto declaring himself as Sora's boyfriend (or near enough ^_-), I had an idea for a comic jump into my brain. At least...the beginning for a comic. <_<;;; It doesn't really have a story yet. *pout* Apart from Kanoe, Yuuto & Satsuki playing beach volleyball, & Yuka-chan battling Hinoto-hime to the death over Dai-kun. BAH! Come on, plot! Where are you...*walks away muttering*

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 11:08 a.m.

One Water-master for sale, only slightly used.

Kimmie-imouto, you are so right about Yuuto being convenient for Kanoe!! XD But poor Dai-kun, he'd never win in a fight against her. Her boobs alone would be enough to defeat him, LOL.
And yeah, Keiichi licking one of those loooooong lollipops that go in&out...that's exactly the problem. ^___~*

Ko~o, thanks for the scans! :D Never thought I'd live to see the day when Daisuke dressed up in a girls apron. *tears of joy* XDDDD I hearby extend an offer of bearing children to anyone who can translate, cos that was hillarious. Why on earth was he crying over the soup? XD
BTW, you're so cute. ^__^ I have my own addition for the 'signs you're a frustrated fangirl obsessed with a minor character' file: because of bandwidth problems you get up at 2.30am in order to access doujinshi pics of that character.^^;;;

Aw, ali-chan!! *hugs* Roll on Friday, huh? Hope things are less stressful for you next week.

VAMPIRE KEIICHI!!!! *grins and winks*
And don't ask Rachel or Lika-chan about those evil bunnies. There's a certain character in 'Watership Down' who traumatised me permanently at the age of 11 (& I had a nightmare about said noir character just a couple of weeks back ><). Well, El-ahrairah with the starlit ears is kinda freaky too. Okay Richard Adams is an excelent author, & I went on to read his book 'Plague Dogs' which was brilliant (sort of depressing, but with a happy ending). But still!! Bunnies are evil! *brrrrs*

*waves 'Yoko Kanno is God(dess)' flag* ^_________^
So...how is 'Cowboy Beebob' as a show? I haven't seen it cos I just can't quite get past the title.^^

OOOOOOOO love the new layout! Actually, I just read chapter three of 'Smiles' the other day. I like where it's leading and, heh, unlike Becky have no problem with Yuzu & Kusa as X's main focus ^_-. Must admit that I guffawed at the part where you mentioned Yuuto juggling Kanoe & Satsuki. ROFL I was just trying to imagine him hefting them into the air. XD And both of their boobs...he'd never be able to do it! XD XD XD

Hmm, ok, so it was probably a dumb move to allow both Seishirou & Keiichi to wear dresses. Now they're doing the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy.^^;;; This production may have to close early, LOL. And yeah, Sei-chan = total melodrama. NO ONE can top him, MUAHAHAHA! >:P
Sure I liked Sarah. I was a little kid, & she was easy to identify with. ^_^ YES, dear old Douglas Adams wrote 'City of Death' because he was script editor that season. He in fact wrote several scripts that year, I believe. An X crossover with the 5th Doctor would be so cute!! I'll track it down sometime on CFFML. :D
Thanks for the advice on Y!M; I'll definitely try the Beta version.
WAAAAAAH! *shriek* Seems like every man & his dog has copies of at least one of the 'X Day--' (Daisuke) doujinshi. The universe is against me. <_<# I'm going to have to start stalking e-bay or conventions or something. There's only three truely insane fans of Dai-kun that I know of (including myself) and I don't think any of us has any of these crazed-obsessive doujinshi. *sob* ...oh yes, those sheets were adorable! I'm not really into Kamui or Fuuma, but they were cute. Matching blue PJ's!! Hope you can find some on your trip ^^___^^.
Hey, if the American 'Tommorow People' was the one with that Aussie ex-Neighbours boy in it, then I have to confess I enjoyed it. Should I be punished now? XD

Playing too:

So apparently I'm going to:
Marry Daisuke (XD)
have one million kids with him (^^;;;)
drive a purple Subaru (*nods* ^_^)
have a job as a slug wrangler (:D)
live in Subaru Sumeragi's garage. (ROFLMAO -- I think this means me & Dai are going to bum off Subby-chan :p)

EEEEEEEEEEEE, too much cool stuff to buy at the Robotech official site!! They have that bust of Roy Fokker, and a remastered version of the original Macross series, and a Roy cel to go with the cute lil' Veritech Skull Leader toy, and...*trembling with desire* ...But no, I-must-give-all-my-money-to-the-CLAMP-goddesses. <_<#
On less mercinary matters, the front page pic on the gallery part (with Rick, Ben, Roy, Max and Miriya) is GORGEOUS! *wibbles*

I'd never leave you for a man, darling padawan ^__~. It would at least have to be a princess; all right, so it's a rapidly-giving-in-to-the-Dark-Side can't-walk-or-talk princess, but you know that both myself & Daisuke are big suckers for her 'forlorn' act. And too bloody stubborn to give her up without a messy head-chopping fight. :p
*laughs* Trust bat-bunny here to come up with the perfect punchline for our quarrel - & back it up with photographic evidence! LOL I'm still waiting to see a photo of the tentacles. *claps hands*


Which Sandman Character Are You?
Oh well, half past ten rose-eating rats playing chess spacerocket, then. =)

What on earth would S/S vs S/K vs I-hate-them-both fight with?! LOL Stealth missiles stuffed with, instead of explosives, hard-core hentai doujinshi?
Actually, I think Aoki only looks high in the side-story bit, where he's younger. Heh. The rest of the time in the anime he looks WAY cool; it's just a shame they couldn't've gotten his top button undone more often. ^_-
HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE you dreamed about chatting to me? *gets up and runs around the house* You'd better hint at this computer then, as it keeps crashing out of Y!M and AIM for no reason. >_># I'll try re-installing them once I'm done blogging. *kicks computer*

Hmmm, Peter Davison was my first Doctor (I was 8), so his adventures have a special significance to me. He was very charming, & I liked his air of innocence. Such a nice smile! ^_____^ Tegan & Nyssa were great together.
However, Tom Baker had, like, giant balls of string which he claimed to have used when he was in the Labyrinth, & other random things that made me laugh. He da man! =D

Yep, CLAMP are on another break.
Voices could probably work for Kamui...or maybe one of the girls? Arashi? Karen? Macross Plus has an amazing soundtrack. ^_^ Yoko Kanno also wrote music for Please Save My Earth, Cowboy Bebop, and the character files for Subaru & Kamui.
Myung was sweet, I thought, & really beautiful. Not too perky, & not too angsty either. With great fashion sense.

For the record, I like being a rabid Keiichi fan too! ;p Can't wait to see the revamped shrine! *bounce bounce*
When I was 15, I discovered Robotech & basically lived with those characters in my head for three or four years. Then Sailor Moon came on TV when I was 19 (maybe 20), so I totally got addicted - to the extent that I used to do the "I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil" (etc etc) thing. Heh. I liked Ranma, but it doesn't quite have the crack-headed & loopy charm of SM.
Robotech's still the one anime show that I can look back on & get chills down my spine. I found it profoundly affecting (cried BUCKETS at the end of the Macross saga), not to mention the anti-war theme was bang on.

EEEYAH! Scary layout! Bunnies are scarey! @_@!
"No name" was a great suggestion. XD
Oh wow, Jack Zipes talking about Red Riding Hood! *faints* In the book, I was fascinated to see how the story evolved (& how the Victorians loused it up^^;;;) - the original version makes so much more sense.
I thought it was very cute that Utako & Akira have seperate beds. ^_-
Just to make your illustration of Cinder-Daisuke as difficult as possible, I should point out that Sei-chan is an old ham, so him playing Widow Twanky is a lethal combination. He'd never get off the stage, & would most likely be in the background doing the tango with Fairygodmother!Keiichi (with the wand between his teeth, of course). They'd upstage the whole thing. Meanwhile I thought of the perfect Prince Charming (since this has gone pantomime): Karen. So Aoki gets to play her lacky. ^__^
Karen: You must try on this shoe. Servant! The shoe! SERVANT?
Aoki: *runs up, flustered as usual* SORRY!! Here's the shoe, mistress.
Karen: I think you need to be punished, servant.
Aoki: *nosebleed* Oh thankyou, mistress!!
Daisuke: *rolls eyes & sighs heavily* ^^;;;
...I have no idea how this is going to end, LOL...
Jiggle? XD Poor Peri! I adore 'City of Death', & I quite liked Sarah Jane. The Cybermen were groovy. The Master was smoooooooooth. ^_^ I'd love to see an X/DW crossover, but can't begin to imagine how they'd cast it. The TV movie with McGann was an American co-production, so I'm guilty of loving SHOCKHORROR !!! Americanised!!!!!! Doctor Who!!!!! !!!!! LMAO

Spring has sprung!

Was in the countryside yestrday & saw lots of calves and lambs & foals. Then went to see boiling mud, which goes "gloop gloop". Heh. =) Walking on a boardwalk over a thermal lake with the steam blowing around in great banks is very romantic.

I'm glad you liked the fanart...it didn't turn out at all as I'd imagined in my head^^;;; But hey, smootchies is smootchies after all. ^_~ Oh! Those clothes are supposed to be the ones they were wearing on the back of X 7 & X 14 (yellow/red *nods*).
Oooh, cookies!! *grins*

Have you two kissed and made up yet? ;_;
Anyway, Kimmie-imoutochan, of course Yuuto can't be Sei-chan's woman. He's Kanoe's woman. LMAO
Kanoe: He's mah bee-yatch. *giggle*
Um, I thought it was obvious that Kamui's rather f***ed up. That whole Kamui/"Kamui" thing (like the Hinoto/"Hinoto" thing) just doesn't exactly seem mentally stable. And Fuuma does deserve more credit for carrying the plot. I have a weird suspicion that if there were more Kam/Fuu supporters, Fuuma would get more recognition.
As for Arashi, she can do or say whatever she wants cos she's HOT. Yeah, she's just HOT ( -- this is my amazingly insightful & well-argued point, BTW. XD) She can even sit in the gutter & poke berries up her nose. As long as she keeps intermittantly flashing her thighs, it's all good. ^_- Not a lot of people can look cool while sitting in the gutter poking berries up their nose, but Arashi is one of those rare few.
I'll give you Keiichi fanart too!! It's just that the combination of Keii-chan & lollipops is giving me naughty ideas - bad Ammie! *self-thwap* LOL
And Keri, well, yodel-eh-ee-ooo just leaped to mind when I saw Aoki's mouth open like that. I get a noticably different impression of Daisuke with his mouth open. XD But AMAZING, a pic of anime!Aoki where he doesn't look completely drugged-out. @_@
XDDDD, no no no, I'm only joking. Aoki looks groovy in that wallpaper, all tough'n'stuff and even showing a bit of skin. MRRRROW!! *purrrrrrrs*
I liked Aoki/Arashi a LOT in his intro scene, where they're attacked by shinigami - bad Hinoto! *slaps her...but gently ^_-* They kicked ass together. They were great.

*blows smoke from pistol mouth* I aim to please. XD But really, I hate to see a nifty character like Kusanagi being so maligned. >_< He's the only one who's truely in touch with nature. And Kusa-chan encompasses the whole theme of X; we are all a part of the planet, we need each other (even the smallest algae, without which we'd die) - so if humans are harming the environment, creating an imbalance, shouldn't something be done about it? At the same time, he believes it is wrong to kill people (hee *^__^* Yuzu mentioned that in the last Asuka, cos he said so. How cute!)
OH YES, a D.W. blog appreciation day would be so much fun! If you rant about the cricket sweater, then I'll have to rant about the question-mark sweater! LOL
I didn't realise the bridezilla & groomzilla were from your actual wedding! Too cool!! :D In order to compete with you and Rachel it looks as though I'm gonna have to have a Godzilla-climbing-SDF~1 cake. Or better yet, Godzilla eating the SDF-1. Doesn't that just scream 'wedding'? ^_~

So Rachel, I think it would be WAY cool to have a little sister called Jason G-Force. XD XD XD
Yes, Satsuki is a sad sort of character; I think Yuuto could actually be good for her (if only Beast wasn't beeping at him in that scarey way o.O;;;)...I like the DoE & the DoH well enough, however it's still the non-Dragons I luv the most. ^__^
AH, thanks for the info on Akira/Utako. Now I understand at least some of what was going on. Still wanna know why they sleep in seperate beds after they got hitched, LOL.
Oh my gawd, you've seen Jack Zipes in the flesh?! Wicked! :D
I once read a review of 'Into the Woods' years ago, & it said that the first half was funny whereas the scond half is much darker...so I immediately decided it sounds exactly my cup of tea. Anyhow, if it has Wolf & Red in it, I'm so there. I've seen that the DVD version is out in the shops, so I'll definitely have to snag it as an early Xmas pressie for myself. Even if it's no substitute for a live performance, at least it's something. ^_^
Mmmhmm, I think Codi's a totally cool person also. ^_-
*snicker* I'm the opposite to you, seeing as I found Tegan wonderful & Peri kinda annoying. XD I agree the Master ROCKS the party! ;p
Oh...Cinder-Daisuke...ROFL. Keiichi as Prince Charming would be cute, but I rather think he'd steal the scene as the Fairy Godmother. With a wand & a pwetty dwess. MUAHAHAHAHA hehehheh *cackle*
Dai: *iron iron iron* *wash wash wash* *scrub scrub scrub* Honestly, I work so hard and no one appreciates me! All I get is "Clean the floor, Saiki-dono", "Feed the birds, Saiki-dono", "that is TOO Kamui, Saiki-dono" *grumble grumble grumble MUTTER*
Keii: *APPEARS* *sparklie sparklie sparklie* HIIIIIIIIIIII!!! *sparklie sparklie sparklie sparklie sparklie sparklie*
Dai: GWAH! @_@;;; *leaps away*
Keii: I'M YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER! *beams* AND I'M HERE TO--huh? Why are you trying to escape out of the window?
Dai: Uh, I, uh, I-I... >.>;;;
Keii: Bring me a pumpkin! OKAY?!
Dai: ^^;;;
And I guess we'd have to make Kamui be Prince Charming (..."that is SO not Prince Charming!" "Yes it is." "No it isn't." "It's Prince Charming, Saiki-dono." "NO! Not Prince Charming!"). Plus I want a certain special someone to play Widow Twanky. *beckons to Seishirou* Come hither, Sei-chan! XD

Hee, you're an old-school Robotechite, eh? :D How it happened for me was that I came across the artbook 'Robotech Art 1' in the comic shop one day, said to myself "oh, those are Japanese animations, I think", picked it up, saw Roy and Claudia, went "SWEEEEEET", and the rest is history.
Roy & Claudia are so the ultimate thing. They rock my world. ^______^
Dunno, I guess all those hits are from my bevy of crazed psycho stalkers. *waves to them* HEYYYYY! I LOVE YOU ALL! *blows kisses* XD
Heh, I couldn't've said it better myself: /Do not/ mess with us, X fans! Keiichi supporters are /crazy/!! Too right! *snicker*

Aw, Shi-chan, it would be really cute to have a bath-tub K/K colour pic! *giggle giggle* *prods CLAMP* Which of course would be bloody adorable - Keiichi would insist on having coloured bubble-bath mixture & a lil' plastic submarine to play with. #^__^#
I'm thinking Pulse from Macross Plus would be a totally Kakyou song, more than Voices (it's a beautiful song, Voices, but I'm so drippy over Myung *drips* <3 that I can't see it as anyone's but hers ^_^). Goddesses, Yoko Kanno is a GENIUS, I can't even begin to describe...I mean, she's so good at mixing & matching different sounds & genres and instruments. *worships* 3 cm is another lovely song from the Mac Plus soundtrack...

and if I start talking Mac Plus I'll take all night, so I'd better stop here.
*sniffs* I love you, Roy!! ;_; *cries bitterly*

Prince Charming? What Prince Charming? =^.^=

YAY! :D I get zee brownie! heh heh In fact, 'Robotech/Macross' was my first proper anime, & it's the reason why I'm here (in the fandom) at all. Aw, your brother put Max & Miriya on for you? That's so great! ^__^
It's definitely possible to do that AU cosplay, if you had six willing victim--ah, participants! LMAO
I really liked the comparison made between Yuzu/Inuki and Sats/Beast. Though I'm not sure I like the notion of Inuki being 'reborn'; that's kind of a sticking point for me.^^;;;
Is the bit where Utako is talking about being dumped by her teacher in '20 Mensou Onegai'? Because I've not found a translation, but she sure was pissed. LOL
Yeah, Aoki & Seishirou do have self-esteem, & they both seem to be secure with their place in the scheme of things too.
...ummmm...now where was I...oh yes, Jack Zipes. He's fantastic, isn't he. ^__^ I was practically obsessed with the Red Riding Hood book at one stage. Been looking for the 'Don't Bet on the Prince' book for years (based on the title alone! LOL I luv it) & have never been able to find it. Maybe I should try Amazon.com? The one quote I really liked (& I can't remember which book it was from, but I think it was relating to Ashputtle/Cinderella) was something to the effect of fairytale/folklore characters originally taking the initiative & making their own destiny "for after all, if it was otherwise wouldn't we all be married to a Prince on a White Horse?" *GRIN*

I forgot to say, pretty layout ^__^.
I've had X dreams before, but never as Yuzuriha. *grin* I'm like you then; when I dream I'm hardly ever 'me/myself'. Usually I'm someone else, & always a different person for each dream.
Oh, and, AMEN to what you said about Keiichi's popularity. I don't see him as being super-popular these days, I just see him as being not-universally-dismissed as he used to be a few months ago. ^_^

Wow, you're so pretty! *_*
Yeah, Daisuke needs more colour pics cos he's really cute. There's never been any colour manga pics of him - but some great doujinshi covers almost make up for it. And there was that gorgeous pic of Souhi & Hien, so who knows, maybe every dog will get its day after all. ^_~ In the anime Dai-kun's adorable (that nose was perfect) but I actually prefer his manga-looks as they have a sort of endearing gawkiness. ^____^
X does have 1 1/2 years to go, probably, so I hope that's enough time to fit in Keii-chan & Dai-kun colour manga art. *prods CLAMP*

*SCREAM* XD

Oooh, Imouto-chan lookin' all arty & kazetsukai-like. ^_~
Heh, it's been a while since I played with this toy.This time I got a mediocre match of 51% with Keiichi, dismal 38% with Daisuke; but wouldn't ya know it, 98% with Hinoto-hime!!!!! Wooooo! :D *grabs her & swings her around* I knew it! I knew we were meant to be!! *hugSQUISH*
And man, I thought I knew truely what fear was before today. I was wrong.AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE *blood-curdling screaming* *goes to build bunker in the back garden* LMAO

I like Incan music! ^_^ All that breathy pipes-sound sort of thing, way cool.
And yeah, I'll get AIM soon. I meant to today, but got detained by 'Jane Eyre'.^^;;;

Sei/Setsuka are HOT! :p That sadly departed wallpaper was actually gorgeous too. I like the Kusa one (he looks kinda wolfish *grin* and hooray for tank tops), Karen = literally hot, Aoki...sorta looks like he's in a yodelling competition ROFLMAO but it's always a treat to see him out of his salaryman suit, & Yuzu/Puppy are cute of course. Love that stripey shirt, Yuzu-chan! *_*
Since you mentioned the girl & her dog, I'm beginning to get really really befuddled about cannonical status of X pairings. I mean, if it's sex which is the clincher, then maybe only Sorashi are truly cannon? Which is weird because after all, Yuzu & Inuki are practically the MOST coupley-couple without actually being one-and-the-same (& it's still very possible that they ARE one: y'know, "you came...from inside me?" *significant nodding*)
Anyway, I just wanted to mention that this is a wacked out crazy fandom. LOL

AH!! The voice of reason. ^_____^ The tentacle debate is just Alison-sama and Lika-darling's way of torturing me. And basically a great deal of fun. *giggles*
However, dare I point out that in X 3 Hinoto definitely is showing a knee. Yeah, a KNEE, no suckers or green slime. ;p

LOL I admit that manga Aoki/Keiichi doesn't do much for me (& they've gotta be father/son, or clones, or somethin'), but to slash the RL editors is kinda amusing. :p
And I do like the idea of Subaru pining hopelessly for Aoki. MUAHAHAHA Hee! XD
That's right, Yuuto & Karen will have beautiful destiny babies and...HEY! Where are you going with Daisuke all tied up? ;_;

Uh, I haven't seen Max and Miriya for ages...didn't expect to find them trampling over your wedding cake. LMAO ^__^
Me, I'd probably go the whole hog & have the SDF-1 for my cake. Or Sailor Moon^^;;;
Heyyyyyy, you & hubby look so cuuuuuute! *pinches cheeks* I reckon he could do a decent Aoki, if he got the right glasses ^_-. Erm...my fave guys are all such as Hagrid, Gandalf, etc. LOL Not exactly the conventionally handsome kind.
Oh wicked, it'd be so cool to see a cosplay of those AU X piccies!! :D The techno blue outfits would be quite straightforward to reproduce, but I'm thinking the wizard-type stuff would be really difficult.
*laughs* In any case, I'm wondering what's up with that Sats/Yuzu bondage stuff. Surely that's un-cannonical & unnecessary? *SNIK* And it seems that every Sora-chan cosplayer goes with the goofy/preppy thing. I like it, except it reminds me Sora does have tons more levels than that.
Oh, I always supported Tereda-sensei & Rika-chan. They're so darn cute together, even if 10/11 years old is kinda pushing it.^^;;;

Ooops, time to go to bed^^;;; Better finish this tommorow! G'nighty night! #^__^# *yawns*

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 04:44 a.m.

Viva la Revolution ^_~

There are two Karen shrines (to match the two Aoki ones presumably *grin*): Heaven Sent which is very cool & more to the point has an 'adopt a Paul' (teddybear) section! Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! Redhead Dancing Girl is like the Karen shrine, run by a total devotee & I like her analysis of Karen's personality.

SHE DOES NOT HAVE...uh...waitaminute, a man? *sniffle* ;_; WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *cries* Hinoto, all this time we've been married and you never told me you were a man!! This is terrible! ;_;
...anyhow, Sat-chan, I'm glad you had fun at the con. That Watari cosplayer was really cool, & the Yuzuriha CUUUUUTE too despite the cigarette habit! LOL
Oooh, and guess what; I saw the perfect Inuki (of the stuffed toy variety) in a shop window today!! *^___^* And I've tracked down another source of Pocky, hoorah. :p If I could just find a short pleated skirt & sleeveless polo-neck top, I'd be set to dress up as Yuzu.
BTW, how are Inuki-chan and Remus-of-the-one-eye getting along? I hope they don't fight. ^_~

Subaru??!!! What the heck are you doing with Chii?! @_@

Kewl! I like Christina Ricci too. ^_^
Aw, it's ok, you get special dispensation cos you've written so many fics featuring Seiichirou. ^_-
Chibi Kusanagi would be adorable! <3 And yeah, he ain't pretty, but that's a good thing eh? ;p
I'll have to watch Nazca now...specially if it's got good music. I LIVE for music. :D
Oh yes, something wicked your way comes. Well, more like "pink and shiney" rather than wicked. *grins* Next time I send you an email I'll prod you in blogland too.

OMG! This is too cute! The Diet basement gang are lookin' good. Thanks for the heads up Alison!! *glomps*

YOU'RE SMEGGING INSANE!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAOFDSGTHBIBML (that's ROFLMAO falling down stairs going to hospital because I broke my leg - go Lika-chan ;DDD). And I do not call people that very often either. XD
Keiichi's tummy-button!! Ah, happiness. ^____________^ I luv gun!Inuki wagging his tail.KAWAIII!! That is too awesome. I can't belive my mad dribbly raving inspired something that cool. XD

Rachel, you've not seen this before? Great, isn't it. ^_^ I like the nod towards Sats/Yuuto which you hardly ever see (c'mon CLAMP, give them a colour pic together if you're going to make poor Yuuto-san die for her^^;;;).
Have you seenthis cosplay?. It's very groovy. With the enduring image of Sorata wearing Tigger ears. XD And very very sexy/pretty Satsuki....*droools*

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 04:38 a.m.

I said, WORSHIP SEIICHIROU!!! >:3

What, you thought I was joking? Now, *holding whip* get down on your hands and knees! XD

My search for Kusanagi shrines has proved fruitless (Satsy-chan, what happened to 'Memories of Green'? ;_;). This is a real shame, since Kusanagi's a fascinating character who deserves lots of shrines.
My main reason for liking him is kinda embarassing, but here goes; when I was a little kid I used to be a tree-hugger. As in, I used to literally hug trees. I liked the feel of the bark, & to watch the insects which lived in the bark. All really alien forms of life, yet clearly alive & intreguing. My favourite trees were the Oaks at my primary (read: elementary) school - because they had acorns. ^__^
Sometimes my friends and I used to play a game where we talked to the trees & pretended that they could talk back to us.
So I can sympathise with Kusa's dillema; yes it's wrong to kill human beings, but the plants & animals are his friends too, & they have a right to live just as much as anyone.
And to the usual claims he's an old unattractive pervert hitting on Yuzuriha: (a) Kusa ain't THAT old, being a junior in the Japanese defense force & looking all of 25 at the most, (b) arrrrrrrrrrr, I'm so sick of anyone who's not a bishonen with girly-face and the body of an 11-year-old being called ugly! Kusa is a man and LOOKS like a man, get over it! (c) Yeah sure, it's sooooooo perverted to make friends with someone & say you want to get to know them better^^;;; (d) she's hitting on him & not the other way round.
As for the dog: I get the feeling that Yuzu-chan just LIKES Kusa straight away, regardless of Inuki's approval. Fortunately, Inuki does seem to approve.
As for those eyebrows: I'm sure a lot more people would see Kusa as gorgeous if it wasn't for his impressively prominent eyebrows. However, I like them! I think features like that add a lot to a character, especially a character who inhabits a universe where 98% of people have long beautiful eyelashes & perfect straight noses. What's wrong with being different?

BTW, Satsy, I like that bedtime story ^_~. Reinvented fairytales are so much fun. Incidently, I was reading a book on folklore the other week which freaked me out!!!! 'The Girl with Silver Hands' where she has her hands chopped off & 'The Juniper Tree' where a young boy is murdered by his stepmother and made into stew both gave me nightmares! *trembles* Scary, scary stuff. My fave is still Little Red Riding-Hood ^___^...I love wolves. Ooooh! Some juicy gossip on The Frog Prince! When he is thrown against the wall only to transform back into human form, he falls into the princess's bed, and get this: she joins him there WITH HASTE! ROFL!!!!
Heh heh. It's a shame the Victorians watered down fairytales & made them just for kids.

Love the new layout. ^_~ (tee hee!)

XD Imouto-chan, I was sure the translation I found for X 12 was wrong. Thanks for the corrective scanlations. *grins* Bravo! Encore!

Aaa! Mooncake season! I'v gotta fiiiiiiind soooooooome! *runs around frantically*
And rejoice, rejoice, an official omake which confirms Sora/Yuuto as a 'thing'!!!!! XDDD Honestly, Yuuto would say anything to get a free meal. LOL Gotta luv the guy.

...which leads me to you...Yeah, Hinoto & the twins look so cute picking out what they want from the menu. *^__^* Daisuke is not there because he's been left behind to do the ironing, poor darling. (Cue: parody fic with Souhi & Hien as Daisuke-rella's step-sisters & Hinoto as the evil stepmother of course ^_-).
Fangs for the Aoki/Dai sprite. :D Adorable! I'm not particularly squicked by it, since in the cannon although they clearly love each other it's not that sort of love (not so Sei/Setsuka which is something else >__>). I'm glad you didn't add the large comedy-prop arm-sling to Dai-kun's winter uniform (that had to be one of the twins insidious little jokes *glances at Hien & Souhi* XD).
The 1996 DW movie is well worth seeing; wobbly plot, but McGann is brilliant! Annoyingly enough, I believe it was BBC re-shuffles which led to Doctor Who ending - nothing to do with the DW staff, who were all set to do more. And just when Sylvester was getting into his stride. ;_;
I'd really like to find "Under the Mountain" too. There were a whole bunch of great NZ children's shows which are now impossible to find: The Haunting, Aliens in the Family, Strangers ( - all scripted by Margaret Mahy *worships*), Children of the Dog Star, Night of the Red Hunter...*sighs*
I live 1 1/2 hours drive away from Onni-chan; just far enough away from volcanoes. And closer to Hobbiton. :p

Actually, I must admit I was rather fond of Wesley Crusher ^_-. And Data, of course, but think I think most people do like Data. ^____^
You're right that TB is the Real S/S story, and X just the end thereof. A very satisfying end too, I might add. Dear old T.Y.O is worth reading anyway, even without the wonderful S/S stuff - my personal favourite bits are usually Sei/Hokuto scenes. These days, having seen it probably 30 times, the scene where Hokuto bursts into the vet clinic with a bag of food under one arm & those incredible sunglasses ("HOKUTO-CHAN HAS ARRIVED TO MAKE DINNER! OHOHOHOHOHO!") still has me on the floor. XD

Ahhhhhhh, Keri-chan, Aoki being slashed with Fuuma? Lots of threesome fanfics with Aoki & Kakyou & Keiichi in the Dreamscape? An abundance of Aoki/Subaru slashy blog layouts? Aoki/Kamui YAOI fanart? Is that what you want - cos that's what'll happen. LOL
Oh yes, & can I just say that I think Yuuto and Karen are a beautiful thing; they're DESTINY! They should have lots of babies right away! ^________~*

It's great that someone else thinks people are stupid for not worshipping Aoki! *grin* Nice layout, BTW. And good point about him being not boring (that bit in X 8 just kills me! LMAO)....hey, he's the guy who makes a beeline for the teddybear, the guy who can wear an octupus tie without irony. Bottom line: Aoki is sweet & whimsical & all-around nifty.

I said WORSHIP, you worthless dogs! *cracks whip* XD

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 10:13 p.m.

Worship Seiichirou! XD

The last time I looked for Aoki shrines there weren't any, and now all of a sudden there's two! @_@!
- Kamikaze...LOL, I luv the name! :p This shrine is worth it for the ADORABLE lil' teeny-tiny Aoki sprite walking along the bottom of the main page. <3 A very thorough examination of the man & his motives.
- Heavenly Wind; Keri-chan, I did not know this page was up & running! It's cute!! :) The 'relationships' and 'lookalikes' sections are cool. ^_______^

...and since I'm talking to you; Windmaster Jr. being the upgraded, head-optional version, eh? ^_- Um, it's either Seii-chan or Seiichi-chan, but the latter makes more distinction between him & a certain chain-smoker. :p Oh, LOL, I wasn't saying I'm not a pervert, I was just trying to clarify my perversion. XD Never mind. XD XD
BTW, I enjoyed your latest 5 Minute Fanfics - next time maybe Dai/Hinoto? *chibi-kitty eyes*

Oh yes, before I go any further:

Lika-darling, Hinoto does NOT have tentacles! ;p


(sorry folks, this one could go on for some time! XD)

Daughter dear, *falls over* alright, ok, I'll download AIM!^^ In any case, I've ben missing my UPAWS times one & times two. hehhehehehehheh Yeah, I know, the clock on this compy is SCREWED (along with the date thingameelarkie) and I haven't been able to fix it yet. Don't ask me why it's so insistant that the year is 2094^^;;;
Mmmm-hmm, sloooooooowly about sums it up for me too, ^_^. But I do have baking powder so I made scones (& scoffed them all myself! Yum! *burps* XD)
Don't worry, I'm only scarey when I'm trying to get Daisuke-smellystinkweed a leg over with Hinoto-hime. GAAH! That boy is about enough to try the patience of a saint! <_<;;; Talk about stubborn. *kicks him*

Heh the sicker the better, my dear. ^_~ *beams* I mean, Hinoto should start pimping out Kakyou & Yuuto as well - more blonde bitches for her collection!! *laughs* Agreed; no pimping out Dai-kun cos she wants to keep the youngest flesh for her own pleasures! *cackles* MUAHAHAHAHAHA~A! XD

aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee the cuteness, the cuteness, it overwhelms! *_* Rachel, all those pairings are making my head spin! ROFL Aw, but no Aoki/Dai? Windmasters ish cannonicals-like. *points to X 8* You know you want to! *chibi-chibi-CHIBI kitty eyes* *turns on mind-control device* (and besides, you can blame me for it ^_~)
Oh yes, I was amused about all the Yuzu/Dai stuff in the TV series. *giggles* She only flirted with him a tiny bit in the manga, but on TV they seemed to emphasise it a lot more. *SNIK* XD Oh well, I guess that' s because Yuzu-chan likes windmasters & has great taste in men. *points to Kusanagi-chan as prime example*
Tee hee, right, the Dalek going up stairs. What a concept^^;;; Sooooooooooooo have you seen the 1996 TV movie starring Paul McGann? It had Slyv in it to start with, which made me so happy! *wipes tear of joy*
Ah, oh, you've seen 'Under the Mountain'! Eh-heh, I guess NZ TV does get overseas after all. LOL Mr Jones was sweet, & I liked the concept of 'pebbling' thoughts (I'd always wanted to be telepathic when I was little ^_^).
Yup, as I recall the book is set in Auckland city (where my brother lives) - it really looks like that. Since it's on the Pacific Ocean's "ring of fire", i.e. a whole bunch of volcanoes. Most of 'em are underneath the ocean, & the ones on land are dormant (supposedly...^^;;;...I still remember Onni-chan pointing out his window one day saying "that's a volcano" and it was so fricking close!!!!!!! Like, only a few metres away!!!!!!! Freaky-deeky).
Now, if memory serves, it was Rangitoto island which ended up as the focal-point of the book. That place is so cool! ^____^ It does look the same on all sides, cos it's a kind of strange conical shape. Very beautiful there. Auckland has the best beaches.
'Halfmen of O' is actually three books: 'The Halfmen of O', 'The Priests of Ferris', & 'Motherstone'. I found the middle book to be kind of filler-material, but the first & last are excellent (the inhabitants of O - for example the stone people - are really really cool :D).

Nadia, you've caught me out. ;p Ok, Kei-chan wasn't hitting on Kamui, but he sure as heck WAS flirting with him. With ******SPARKLIES****** and stuff, no less. XD I thought it was cute, & funny. ^______^
"Next time let me be the one to tutor you", with this melting smile, soooooooooooo sweet, and then the next second he's like "OKAY?!" (& Kamui goes "^^;;;" *Ammie shrieks with laughter* HOT DAMN that was incredibly cute :D).
As for the rant, I'm not sure that it's Keiichi getting walked over that bothers me (he's tough! he can take it! ^_^), he just always seems to be alone, poor baby, & not able to change the status quo. I don't like to think of him putting on that brave face his whole life...DO SOMETHING KAMUI! *thwack prod*
OTOH, I do like your prediction that Keiichi will be the turning point for Kamui. He definitely put a few things straight in his dialogue with Kamui, having the unique perspective of a NON-superkinetically-psychic-powered person (as in, an ordinary bystander to the major X plot conflict ^_~). And Kamui did seem to understand Keiichi, which was cuuuuuuuuute! *cough*

Shi-chan...yeah, it sucks that Keiichi isn't gonna be on the Sun card. (Cos he is so blonde, & it's making me crazy that I don't know what colour his eyes are. Even if they're magenta! ARGH! Just wanna know, CLAAAAAAMP!!!) Though, as Ko says, it wouldn't be such a big deal if they'd only draw him ONCE for an Asuka colour page. BAH humbug. -_-;;;

Anti (sort of) Keiichi rant, part two:
Following on from the question to Subaru fans - "would you like him as much if he was a girl?" - I suppose I should ask myself that of Kei-channie. I'll have to swap this around and say "if Keiichi was a girl, let's say with the body of Kate Winslet, and then changed back to normal boy-type, would you like him as much?"
*head hits keyboard* Eep, that's too confusing! Maybe I'll put it more bluntly; "do you just like him cos he's all hot and gets your rocks off". ^____________^
The answer: no. First up, he's a guy. Thankfully he'd most likely not mind cross-dressing, but he's still a guy. I like him, not for his body, but for his mind (----> oh that's so sad! LMAO). Kei-chan is rather loud and full-on at times, but he's open & honest & endearingly little kid-like. He deserves lots of love & glompings & trips to Disneyland. *^___^*
Or, maybe the question should be: "would you still like him if he wasn't genki?" Um...yes. Keiichi can be very down-to-earth & sincere when he's serious; I don't really see anything not to like there. ^_^

The anti-Keiichi rant.

Well, sort of ^_-. (Bet you never thought you'd be seeing this coming from me)

Pros:
He's generally a happy and fun person, who is not hitting on Kamui despite what the consensus of the fanbase may tell you. ^_^ He can be serious when he needs to. Most of all, he's very open & genuine while speaking simply and to-the-point. None of those unhelpful 'metaphysical blatherings' from him.

Cons:
ARGH! Kei-chan's too damn stoic! He's like Boxer the horse in Animal Farm (by George Orwell) - he'll work for years until he finally drops & They'll send him off to the knacker's yard because They have no further use for him.
Plus, he's like in another book, The Lotus Caves (by John Christopher) where this guy is in a situation described as "a grain of sand in an oyster shell"...and what happens is he gets changed into a "pearl" (or, to put it another way, he gets adapted by outside forces in order to fit in to their liking). Keiichi's like that because he's always rolling with the punches and being a good little productive citizen. *grrr grrr*
I think that he's too much the sort of person who's strong enough to keep things going, keep things from collapsing; when perhaps it would be better to just let them fall. NOT that I'm advocating the DoE cause (way too extreme), or Kei-chan to be a radical revolutionary (^^;;;)...I just think he's a little too responsible...or something. Heh.

Whoo. *breathes deeply* It felt good to get that off my chest ^___^.

Worship Yuzuriha! ^_~

I've been having a little surf around for X character shrines, & found FOUR for Yuzu-chan! (she must be more popular than I realised =^.^=)
- Espri, a mini-shrine, VERY cute. :)
- Sunny Days, somewhat incomplete but interesting AND Inuki has his own lil' section ^_~.
- POCKY!! *grins* A fairly big shrine, Kusa-friendly & with lotsa goodies. =D
- Meow ^.^; I luv the name & the layout of this one. Well worth a visit.
Basically they're all fraking adorable, & it's good to see so much positive commentary on Kusa-chan. :p <3

Meanwhile the Daisuke shrine is still static! *bursts into tears* WAAAAAAAAAH! Me want Dai-kunnies! ;_;(...& I note that yet another person agrees that Daisuke is an uke. *SNIK* He so is! ;D)

OH! H-chan's computer is back online! Hooray! *glompie-glomps* How's it going, daughter? ^___^ I've got somethin' for ya; just give me a couple of days to get it finished (I'm slow^^;;;) ^_-.

ali-chan, I thought what you wrote about 9-11 was just lovely, just right. ^_^
Have fun with the giant inflatable cactus. *grin*

Keri:
(1) Love the new layout - Codi-chan very clever, yes yes ^_^.
(2) Don't jump, Seiichi-chan! *catches him* *LOL*
(3) Not that far down!! *cackles* Oh my dear, get out X 14 and turn to page 154 to see exactly where Daisuke & I were imagining Hinoto's hand. LMAO Although further down is good too...*snicker* I'm glad to hear you're thinking about Daisuke's "down there" and having tentacle-dreams. It's all part of my plot (with Hinoto's help dream-wise of course) to take over the Universe ^_~. And aparently my mind-control device is working juuuuuuuust fine. :D *pats it* Good little mindy-control device! *pat pat* XD
(4) After your comment on the DoS MB, I can't help thinking of Beast killing Yuuto - who goes straight to Hell & is like "Ok, everyone, I've returned. You can stop slacking off, BACK to work now!" LOL

Awwwwww Rachel, these are sooooooo adorable! I love the Dai/Yuzu one! <3 <3 <3 And Keiichi's hair looks cool ^__^. Cuteeeeeeeee! *melts into puddle of goo* Can't wait to see the Aoki & Hinoto ones. :D
Anyhow, your brother impersonated a Dalek? Wow! *grins* Yes, I lovelovelove Sylv (McCoy), he used to make me laugh all the time with his pulling faces & the question mark jumper. Well, of course him & Ace were perfect, they really played off each other. I still remember the line in 'Silver Nemesis' which went something like "So it's the end of the world today?....and you forgot?" LOL And that gentle Scottish accent. *^__^*
Interesting you should mention Maurice Gee; as he's a New Zealand author so not only have I read 'Under the Mountain' but I also saw a NZ made TV version when I was very little. Freaked me out! Those blobby~ly monster guys coming out of the water and leaving brown globby slime trails everywhere! EEK! So I still look at people with the surname 'Wilberforce' suspiciously. *chills*
It was a great book; however, I prefer th 'Halfmen of O' books (by the same author).

=^.^= Pi-Pikachu! PIKAAAACHU! ;p
...and after that sensible comment, now for some silly ones: darling, of course I won't call you Spanky or Ratface. Unless you write a fic where you call Daisuke 'Spanky the Wonder Boy' - oh, wait wait wait! I've got it! Hinoto calling him 'Spanky-dono'!!!!!!!!!!! XD
*pause for sound of hurricane and adolescent Japanese male shouting, puncuated with bright flashes of blue & green*
*AHEM* Um, aaaaaaaaand, what else...oh yes. Naturally I put my whole heart into everything I do. I'm the sort of person who has to be passionate about stuff to bother doing it (re: art, music, etc). Otherwise I just kind of get that glazed-over look & switch off. Yes, that means I really truely am deeply & madly into old British telefantasy, acid jazz, children's books, sf shows like 'Babylon 5', anime (erm, I absolutely WEPT at the end of 'Macross Plus'!! I was a wreck for two days after!!), etc etc etc. Because I'm a sad fangirl ^_-.
As for Karen, I also don't think she wants to die to appease her sins or anything like that. She's simply weighing up (& here I'm taking from X 13 sentiments, cos that volume has scarred me for life LOL) whether someone with family - a child no less - should put themselves in danger before her. Or whether someone who is still only teenaged & has barely had time to even live should go before her. And she thought not. At least until Aoki was stubborn enough to talk her around. *thumbs up to dear Seiichirou*
Things are different now, obviously, & I have a wee rant about her comment in the latest Asuka "there's someone you've forgotten and that someone is probably very hurt"(etc)...it'll go up at DoS once the latest threads have died down. ^___^

Random thought: I saw a mini-preview for the next Harry Potter film, & it looks so neat! *bounce* *squealage*
Other random thought: bet I can make a top ten list of ways that I'm sadder than the Buffy Nemisis-isis boys. :p Cos I can so beat them.

People are great! =)

*giggles* Thanks so much Ko, for the Iwasaki/Emori decoration. I set it as wallpaper immediately, of course. And very decorative it is, too! #^___^# So should I confess that I now say "g'night boys!" every night when I'm shutting down the computer?^^;;; Oh dear, how sad, never mind. XD

And thankyou Nadia; although I'm hoping those 'good points' of mine you were reffering to were not the ones about me taking over the world & getting the Technomancy chicks to do that chair thing with Yuuto. XD
(BTW, I luv that layout - it's one of my all-time fave Hokuto pics ^__^)

Heh *wiiiiiiide grin* 'sugar momma yumemi', eh, Cori-chan? That one had me rolling in the ailes. For about a day. XDDD Thanks for the laughs.
So, astonishingly enough, Hinoto & Dai-kun seem to be actually gettin' somewhere! @_@... (OTOH I do luv Hinoto D.J.ing while floating around in her little bubble. ::HEARTS::)
...mainly because Daisuke is desperate.
Dai: *splutters* I. AM. NOT~!! *glareglareglare*
Ammie: Oh for goodness sakes, be a man! You can do it, Daisuke!
Aoki: *sniff sob* Little Daisuke-kun is all grown up!!! It's so moving!! ;_;
Dai: *agonised* SEIICHIROU-SA~AN~!!! >_<;;;
Aoki: Oh, don't forget to use protection. ^__^
Dai: GAAH! Somebody please please just kill me now!>___-;;;

And the last thanks goes to Linh...domou arigato, & you're not exactly unhillarious yourself. :p As for Tim Drake; any boy who looks that good in green tights has got to be good breeding material. ^_~*

DISCLAIMERS:
Bigwig ROCKS!!!!, I am not a lesbian boy -_-;;; and Saiki-dono is actually straight, when Lika learns to kiss like Daisuke I'll be in HER thrall but until such time as this occurs you may consider me in the thrall of some windmaster-guy, Keiichi is the nicest & most sanest character in X and loving him should IN NO WAY indicate craziness, furthermore anyone calling him an airhead will not stay alive long unless they happen to be the person sleeping with me, INUKI IS REAL DAMMIT why does nobody believe?*sob*, the Dewey Decimal System owns my heart and soul - I love only the State - I am a number, I really am perfectly healthy so you can kiss me without any worries ^_~, there's nothing strange about being in love with a mouse, of COURSE Keiichi wears women's underwear - of COURSE he does, Daisuke?Good fuck, yeah!!!! XD
