Lotsa bribery & corruption!!! XD

#^____^# Well, Satsy, I got your letter (in elegant Slytherin green! :D) last night; and then, in the usual cosmic way of things, the package FINALLY arrived this-afternoon! *bounce* *glomp* *SHRIEK*
YOU GAVE ME THE PLANT PICTURE!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I was hurriedly cutting through all that thick tape (did that on purpose I'm sure, you evil Slytherin! LOL ^_-), but when I saw the picture inside I was so suprised! Could've knocked me down with a feather! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! :DDDDDD

And now, you will be happy to hear I've met Onni-chan's spawn in person. ^________^
Quinn is very much a boy - he doesn't look girly or neutral,but male. He also apparently is already a lady's man, having quite the eye for (much) older women. *ahem* Scratch plans for sending the kid off to a yumemi, LOL. And he does have an interest in wind; actually, he's interested in anything that moves.
Nephew-chibi keeps changing every week & has for the moment lost the facial resemblance to Lois. He looks a lot like Dad (my dad; his grandfather).
Basically he's a lovely baby with a great temperament, & smiles a lot. Seems like a good kid ^_^. Lois was feeding him pumpkin-mash & he was making "yum yum" noises! hee hee! So cute!

Oh! Since it's my birthday in one week *sledgehammer hint XD*, I'm officially allowed to beg, bribe, etc etc for stuff I want. Which is listed here:

Fanfic...
- ANYTHING Yuzu/Inuki or Dai/Hinoto. ^_~
- Seiichirou takes chibi-Dai to the park & gets all excited playing on the swings while Dai watches him like ---->^^;;;----->that. LOL (Ali's idea ^_^)
- Keiichi skipping around a flowerbed!!!! hehehehehheh >:D (Keri's idea ^_^)

Fanart...
...all of the above, LMAO!!

Other...
- a pet newt! (^_-
- the Yuzu cosplayer and the Hinoto cosplayer in my bed! >;3
- chocolate! LOL Definitely, lots of chocolate... and balloons.

Oooh, I just remembered that Quinn's coming to my birthday party! Yaaaaaaay! :D I'm thinking of dressing up as Kotori - how sad, XD. But right now I'd better get to work on my mud-wrestling scenario for Xsurvivor. TTFN. =)

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 03:55 p.m.

How now, brown cow =D

Since I promised you; may I present Ammie's inaugral (what does that word mean, anyway? LOL) crazed ravings about the Buffy Musical episode which she saw this-morning. There are SPOILERS cos I'm a spoiler slore you-have-been-warned:

OMG! It was soooooooo cool! #^________^# From the start with the cheesey opening full-moon titles and the cute version of the theme music, to the ending with the stick-figure-monster singing his "Grrrrrrrr Arrrrrrrrrgh" line in falsetto (R.O.F.L.M.A.O.) I just loved it all!
Best song was definitely Anya's 'evil bunnies' one. *BUBBLES* That was so awesome - I wanna get an extended CD single of this! XD
Best voices were definitely Giles (well...we already knew Mr Head could sing...^_^) and Tara. AMBER BENSON! *swoon swoon*
Best line was Tara's; "Oh my god! I'm cured! I can go out with boys now!" *howls with laughter* I love that girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDD
It started off so light & funny - "they got the mustaaaaaaaard ouuuuuuuuuuuut, they gooooooooooot the muuuuuuuuuuustard ouuuuuuuuuuuuuut!" (Buffy: "It's not just us") *screams and howls XDDDDDD* - and then ended so dark with the VERY wonderfully handled moment when Buff finally lets slip that the others had pulled her out of Heaven. That was like, shivers down ya spine. Wowzees. *chills* I'm wondering if Joss Whedon's talents have an end, he even wrote all the frickin' SONGS!! o.O!!
I'm personally very happy about the Buff/Spike snog at the end. Then again, when it comes to 'BuffyTVS' couples I'm super-easy to please. I love 'em all - Xander/Cordy, Xander/Willow, Xander/Oz, Xander/Giles, Xander/Anya, Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Giles, Willow/Oz, Willow/Tara, etc etc etc. Don't ask me why, LOL (although I still think it's a shame Xander/Cordy and Willow/Oz didn't get a second chance).
---> what did I do after seeing the episode? Sang and danced, of course! :p

::END RANTING::
Uh, the cow thing. Y'see, my hometown of Hamilton is having a re-think on the city motto. And despite all the jokes about NZers and sheep, I come from DAIRY country so to me it's all about the cow! ^_____^ Previous mottos for this place have tried to make it seem cool ("Where It's Happening" YEAH RIIIIIIGHT! LOL); however, the entire country knows the truth, exemplified by the TV News having an item on Hamilton's potential new mottos with a picture in the background saying "COW TOWN" XD.
The present motto "More Than You Expect" is a constant source of amusement to Dad ("yes, I expected it to be HELL").
So in any case, Mum and I were talking about the newspaper article which talked about Cow Art originating in Chicago (which is beef country - I did not know) & has now grown into an international exhibition of cow sculptures ('Art Mooveau' as they said - oooooooouch! ROFL).
Our suggestion for the city motto? "Join The Herd" ^_~.

Goodness, where has my mind been lately? Aparently loose; roaming wild & free over the plains of Africa. ^_- Anyhow, a couple of points to clear up...

*hugs* Alison, Alison, Alison, I was giving you a veiled compliment, not suggesting again that you shack up with Gimpy! ^__^ I'm not terribly good at giving overt compliments, but here goes: you're so smart, articulate, talented, witty, and with SUCH a sexy evil streak! *grins* You are by far and away the better woman, I could never compare, or compete with you for the hand of this lovely chicky, so therefore I'm giving you my blessing. Just promise me you'll take care of her for me! *sobs*
(BTW, awesome new layout! *_*)

Maria and Keri, that website with photos of Quinn-chibi belongs to my Onni-chan. As I have no computer ability whatsoever & the day I get a website to work is the day pigs aquire aerodynamic abilities, XD. Its purpose is for Onni-chan to show off photos of his spawn, or his spawn-with-others. Hence, no pics of myself there since I ain't personally met the exhalted spawn yet (THREE DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! :D). This is no loss to the site, seeing as I'm so crushingly normal & boring-looking. Not to mention old, had-it, past prime, out to pasture ;_;. *pout pout* BUT, I will of course insist that I get to join the round-up in Rohan's next update. You'll notice that while it's usually "big stinky poo-head", when I need a favour it's "oh brother-deeeeeeeeeeear" ;-D.
Dad and I think Quinn is terribly ostentacious to have his own website when he's not even 6 months old. LMAO.
Maria-chan, it's great to see you around ^_______^.

OH YEAH! I finaly got a reply for my 'Dear Uncle Kei' letter! *yays* =DDDD What's even more weird is I had a dream about that last night (long before seeing the reply), where my subconscious seems to think that any sort of sensible advice about how to deal with Hinoto-chan would not be what I wanted to hear. LOL Well done, brain. *pats it* You're so right; but HEY, Saiki-lil'brother & I are pig-headedly stubborn enough to want to still help Hinoto. ^___^ She is in pain, after all.
Anyway, I rather loved Nadeshiko's reply:
Dear Headless Bi,
errrr, I mean "boy", headless "boy", of course!... Sorry, I was kinda thinking of something else...^^;;;;;; Though...would you happen to be?Just asking! *^______^*

I think that if this person you have been in love with for so long is put off by a mere detail like a missing head, it's a clear sign that it is time to move on! Find someone else, someone that is a)relatively sane and b) not saving herself/himself for some gorgeous bishounen. Yes, I know, relatively hard to do in your close circle, but look again!...Isn't there a cute blonde hair girl in the background, with the same problem as you? She used to be Kamui's girlfriend, you know....~_^ Ahhh, don't look at me this way, I know deep in your heart, there's this wish to give that arrogant Kamui a lesson!Well now, what are you waiting for???? Go, Daisuke, get his girl!!!! *^_^*

(nyark, nyark...one more out of the way...Kamui, you shall be MIIIINE! *^_________________^*)

Sincerely *coughs* yours,
Uncle Keiichi *grins*

ME: ROFL!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEE! It seems like Keiichi is interested in you, Dai-kun! *prods him*
DAI: Go away. >_>;;;
ME: And then he thinks the solution is to go with KOTORI!!!!!!!!!??????? Oooookay....LMAO.....What do you think, Dai? *prod prod*
DAI: Get off. <_<;;;;
ME: Awfully bad mood you're in today, sweetie! Hmmm, which reminds me I meant to show you X 14...*digs it out* Lookie! Two Hinotos! :D
DAI: *BLUSH* O.o I, uh, I-I had no idea it got T-THIS GOOD!
ME: It gets beeeeeeeetter!!!!! *cheshire cat grin* *flicking through pages* Here it is, see? She's putting her hand RIGHT INTO the kimono! See, see! *giggle*
DAI: Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii *ka-THUMP*
ME: Oh dear. I think he's gone unconscious. XD hee hee
HINOTO: Time to go to sleep, methinks...
/Hinoto/: Hell yeah!
ME: Yes, well, you OWE ME for this, buddy. ^_-

I'm happy to hear you lot all had a blast at Shoujocon, and met Rachel too!! :D (thanks for this, Rachel! Groovy!) All the photos are very funny, & you even found a most GORGEOUS Hinoto! Score, score! LMAO

Waaaaaa, I wanna see your Yuuto/cow pic! Bad virtue.nu! *sniff*
Daisuke is VERY cute and interesting with his head off, XD, I couldn't agree more ^_-.
Mainly I just find the thought of Hinoto with Kanoe-sized boobs extremely side-splittingly funny (it explains why she can't stand up, for one thing! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD).
I'm on yahoo right now, but you're not here! Waaaaaahh! Wanna talk to yooou! *sniff sniff* It's official, I suck! LOL

ali-chan I think I'm going to have to set up a Helios fan-club, cos he just sounds frickin' adorable! *^^^*

Ok, I think I covered everything. Daisuke's drooling all over the floor, so I'd better go clean it up...BYEE! ^_^

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 03:58 p.m.

Oh dear me...

Becky, I have absolutely nothing to add to this:

Lisa: Yuzuki is the persocom who sort of waits on Minoru?
Becky: Yeah, the one modeled after his older sister. And, y'know, Kanoe has to be at least one of the four persocoms that greet Hideki when he first goes to Minoru's place, the ones that collapse when they try to examine Chii.
Lisa: Oh good GOD. YES.
Becky: And Hinoto. Just 'cause that's really freaking funny to me.
Lisa: Heehee. Courtesy boobies, and, look, Hinoto!
Becky: *giggles* You know, we can't really see much under that huge silk kimono she always wears. Maybe it runs in the family, and Hinoto is just as stacked as Kanoe!
Lisa: (Daisuke: SCORE!)
Becky: (*LOL*)
(I was going to say, hey, that might explain why she molested herself in the anime.)
Lisa: (...*LAUGHS*)
Becky: (Daisuke is the luckiest bastard on the planet--he's got TWO versions of his girlfriend, who are quite possibly stacked, and the evil-seme one likes to molest the good-uke one. Fanboy dream come true.)
Lisa: (Now I'm seeing Daisuke as a cosplaying fanboy.)
Lisa: (Video Girl Hinoto. Oh, God, no, that's horrible.)


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! *laughs until lungs and other organs come loose and start flying across the room* OW! but MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ok. I agree, Daisuke is the luckiest guy on the planet. After I'd written a 'Dear Uncle Kei' letter to the X Survivor game on his behalf and everything (hey, I figured he was the one in most dire need of advice, what with him being a severed head and Hinoto having mulitple personality disorder, LMAO)...but no, Becky, you're so absolutely right. Saiki-dono, you lucky dog! >;D BWEEHEEEHEEHEEHEEE *wiping away tears of laughter*

ali-chan, you have a newt called Helios? That is so kewl!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gaaaaah, I'm still kicking myself over my completely bad timing re: leaving Christchurch - hope Brad had a good time there anyway. Oh! I hope he went to the Arts Centre, cos that place is nifty (I luv the clock shop). I'm still so happy to be back in Cow Town, though, cuz it's mah home ^_~.

Oi, Satsy, I luv the teapot. You're getting scarily good these days. ^_________^ Like, major MAJOR improvements from this time last year. Practise makes perfect, ne? ^_-

Ok now let's see if I can get down some of the stuff I meant to say to you...
first of all, congrats again on getting a proposal from Alison (& about time too!!). Of course, my heart is now stapled to the wall *sob* and I actually angsted for a day & a half.
Yeah. ME angsting! Probably a sign of the apocalypse.^^;;; I think I had Saiki-dono worried...

DAI: Ammie-san angsting, this is not good, this is not good. >_<;;;
HINOTO: {{it's not a sign of anything, so what's the problem?}}
DAI: The PROBLEM is, last time she went like this was after X TV episode 15, where she expressed her unhappiness by -- oh I can't even say it -- >_<;;;
HINOTO: {{aha, by marrying ME! MUAHAHAHAH!}} *various maniacal dreamgazer-y laughter*
DAI: So I shudder to think what she'll do now. >_<;;;
ME: Hmmm, you really do look like you have a migrane, Dai-kun! *LOL*
HINOTO: {{it's all an excuse, you know. "I'VE GOT A HEADACHE, I'VE GOT A HEADACHE!"}} *snicker snicker*
ME: *SNIK* Thought so. In any event, I've decided to adopt Daisuke as my little brother (not that you're not a fabulous muse, ducky-doo *prods him*), in order for him to stop me doing anything foolish.
DAI: NO.<_<;;;
ME: YE~ES! Tell him, Hinoto-chan!
HINOTO: Saiki-dono, be Ammie-dono's little brother.
DAI: >_>;;; .....yes....*heavy sigh*

...naturally, after a day & a half I stopped angsting (and I'm suddenly all "gooooood morniiiiiing!!! :D" Yikes. Suddenly forcefully reminded of why I identify with Keiichi, ROFL) because it's not physically or mentally possible for me to be depressed any longer than that. *giggles* I'm a flake. ^___^ So I concede to the better woman & hope you two will be very happy.

Oh yes, Lika-chan don't forget I need Shinri's email addy and THAT A/K PWP---> SEND TO MEEEEEEEEE I WANNA SEEEEEEEEE! ;p
Right, now lesse (this post is going all over the place, gomen gomen); oh heavens, you must've been so freaked out about your niece! Drum it into her brain that she must tell someone where she's going - that seemed to be the most effective thing when I was little.
I'm feeling the need to quote some good old Science Fiction philosophy at you - Babylon 5's Marcus Cole: "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought 'Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." Yep, the world is a cruel cruel place, & most of the stuff (good or bad) which happens we don't deserve. But oh well, I guess that's the point of having free will & whatnot. So you're not a horrible human being, don't worry ^__^. Just, uh, be good to the environment, plant a tree, tell your mother you love her even if she drives you nuts. That's the advice I can give, heheh ^_~.
As for the homosexuality thing...I dunno. I just can't get myself to liking guys and repoducing even if it's socially and morally the accepted thing to do. Besides, in this day & age of overpopulation/polution/etc etc WE SHOULD ALL BE GAY!! XD (*points to Quinn* yes, kid, you're now another addition to the problem ^_-)
*thunks self on forehead* Akkkakkk akkk, I forgot to tell you that I heard Reye's whalesong! The woman is a goddess! "UOOooooooooo UOOOOOOOOOooooooo" I bow down and worship her! *commences bowing* That's the coolest thing I ever saw & heard! ROFLSHMEFOTS!!!!!!!!!!!Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 02:49 p.m.

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

=) Well yah, I'm home!! *whews* It's such a relief to be somewhere where it's not all cold & damp & getting an Arctic blast every time you go out the front door. It's also really relaxing to be able to go places & have them be familiar...and oh yeah, parents & stuff *huggles them* I like being looked after ^_~
Suffice to say I'm happy ^_^. But you'll never believe what a TIP my studio has turned into while I was away!! ARGH! Must...clean...mess...LOL
And of course we were planning to go see Quinn-chibi this weekend, but Onii-chan THE BIG POOHEAD is taking a break & a long weekend 'away'. GAAH! >_<;;; BAKA! So I might go up & stay with them next weekend (oooooooo, I just thought - Auckland has Borders bookshop! Borders GOOD! hee hee *drools over books* ^_^).
Some more photos of Q-ball (anyone who can tell me why I called my nephew Q-balll gets the mystery prize! ^_-). He definitely looks like Lois, i.e. not like our side of the family, i.e. it's off to the nearest Dreamgazer with him ROFL.

Waaa! Too much to say to you, & too little time! ;_;
You're right, I keep meaning to change the 'in progress' comment but then forgetting. *SWEATDROP* And I will respond to the prompt in your letter by saying "I love Bob the Builder but not as much as I love you, darling". *giggles* Did I get that right? ^_-

Because I enjoy saying this: Daisuke is SO an uke! LMAO
...You want to see my picture, daughter dear? Well ok, I'll see what I can do...

*gives cookie to Satsy and Rachel cos they said something nice about Daisuke* ^_-
(Lemon filled cookie for Sats, naturally. ^_^ And I agree wholeheartedly with Rachel that Dai-kun would make a fantastic lil' brother. He's so sweet! ^_^)

Well, ali-chan, my sister-in-law (Lois) was the kind of gal who was never planning to get married or have kids or anything REMOTELY domestic. Then she accidentally proposed to Onni-chan (hehehehehe) & they had a honeymoon, got married, bought a house, gave birth, etc etc, all within 12 months. XD
So you never know. ^_- But me & Onni-chan were the same as you & your older sis; "Mum & Dad want grandkids, so you can have them." "No, YOU can have them". LOL

*clonks Keri on the head* My brother is NOT hot! You're as bad as Emily - "Oooh, Rohan looks sexy in that photo". Speaking as his little sister I have to say he does NOT and he is NOT and he is a big smelly poohead. XDDD
Gosh, more promptings for my photo. Alright, I'll get on to it ASAP. I'm just kinda intimidated to show them now that everyone's seen how pretty'n'stuff you are, Keri-bishoujo.

SHE~E~ELL!!!!!!!!!!!...this is just completely FABULOUS! oh wow! I never thought of Seiichirou without his glasses, but OH WOW! =)

*cracks up* Nayami dear, why am I Friar Tuck? ROFL I think I might actually be flattered. ^_^ However, I think I'm probably better suited to Much the Miller's son - y'know, nice but dim^^;;;
Anyway, I just went onto your wonderful Sorashi site - lookin' good! :D I especially love this pic; now, I know you and Argustar and Keri-chan hate the A-top, but I think it's cool. I was so kitsch & so HIM! It really suited (pardon the pun XD) his initial genki act. Besides, it's simply very cute. ^_^

Speaking of Argustar, check out the wonderful pic daughter-dear (AKA Hokuto-chan) did for her blog layout! SUGOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argustar, you need to blog more now that you've got such a great decoration for everyone to look at. ;p

Mirror mirror on the wall...

...who has the cutest nephew of them all?

ME! hahahahahhahhaahaaaaa! >;D
(or, as Dad said, "more photos to drool over". LMAO)
But how come Quinn gets to have a play tunnel? IIIIIIIII WAAAAAAAAAAAAANT OOOOOOOOONE! *scream* *hissy fit*
Ok, kid, the minute I get up to Auckland, I'm nicking that Pooh teddybear. And the blue dog iiiiiisssssssss miiiiiiiiinnnnnnnne too!! XD

Oh yeah, the dude with the dark curly hair is Onii-chan (he was never blonde like me) - naughty little sister is showing his pic to her freaky fangirl friends hehehehehheh *maniacal laughter* XD XD XD
Um, Quinn slept though his whole naming ceremony, LOL. The guy with white hair is Daddyyyyyyyy *GLOMPS* and the one obsessively videotaping every second is Mum. ^_^

Um...............

Erm, did I just manage a K/K and Aoki/Dai rant in the SAME POST??o.O? Great thundering planets of neptune!!^^;;;

*goes off to molest D/H indecently & with much debauchery* *cos they're my only pair who aren't 100% platonic XD*

The Princess of the Octupus Tie stuffed more pink octupi down her Royal Courts' pantaloons and they liked it very much, at 01:45 p.m.

I'm sure most of this is overdue^^;;;

First up, oooh, fun test Kimmie-imouto ^__^...let's see...

X/TB Fandom character(s) you'd most like to...

* spend the rest of your life with in perfect bliss:
*scratches head* Perfect bliss? That's a bit of a tall order, but okay; Hinoto I choose you! Pi-pikachu! LMAO Since I usually have weird & vivid dreams most nights, I'm sure we could meet in the Dreamscape at least.

* have an emotionally void but wicked hot one-night stand with:
*ahem* I would say Arashi; except Sorata would be upset, so, uh, NO ONE.

* watch having an emotionally void but wicked hot one-night stand:
*flashes V-sign* How about Daisuke and the entire female cast (with Hinoto videotaping it in the background, ROFL). Or Keiichi and the CCD ^_-.
(no this is not a question I can take seriously XDDD)

* set up with your best friend:
Um, Emily would have to re-marry Aoki (who would also be remarrying... possibly for the third time *snik*). Because he's such a darling. ^________^

* have as your best friend:
Kei-chan of course! Seriously, there can't even be any other option! He's so much fun!

* get wasted with:
Sorata, cos it'd be hillarious to se him drunk.

* employ as a live-in masseur:
I think Souhi and Hien would be the sensible option. Or Karen. Or all three. ;p

* use as a human pillow:
Keiichi the snuggle-bunny-booboos =).

* bring home to meet the 'rents:
As an 'intended'???? Yipes!
Uhmmmmm........*thinks hard* ummmmm....it couldn't be Hinoto, so I'll say NO ONE.

* have as your sibling:
Saiki-dono. I could torture him whenever I pleased. >:3 He'd be cute as a little brother, & oh sooooooo easy to piss off. MWAHAHAHAHA!

* tie up in your basement and kick when you're feeling frustrated:
Satsuki and Fuuma. Still haven't totally forgiven them for X 13, so sue me.

* tie up in your bed and lick when you're feeling frustrated:
Who would taste the nicest? LOL Kotori, perhaps, the vanilla girl ^_~.

Fiiiiiiiiiine, whinging daughter I shall blog at you. LOL ^_~ I'm glad you're not going away for my own selfish reasons of course since I'd miss you ^_^.
Um...oh yes, I should reiterate that Dai-kun is an uke & does get bitched around by everybody. Poor boy *patpat* XDDDD
Oh yes, 'Come What May' is defintely not a Fuuma/Kakyou song (apologies to Mura-chan, it's just...not^^;;;). I'm reminded of the song I did associate with an X pairing while watching 'Moulin Rouge', namely 'Nature Boy' with Kei/Kam:

There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:

"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"


I'd think that'd be from Keiichi's perspective; however the last line is something Kamui would never say so it'd have to be Kei-chan's line spoken to Kamui. Cos that's what they're like, mais oui? ^_^

Incidently, if I had a K/K shrine I'd call it Fools and Kings not only for that song lyric, but for the fact Keiichi would make a brilliant Fool (as pointed out by Natalie right here =^.^= MROW!). I did 'King Lear' in 7th form & really felt sorry for the poor Fool. He's basically a cool character, since he gives the King astute advice under the guise of joking around - as I recall he makes what he says more palitable to Lear by pretending to be an idiot, so the King can brush it aside (it's seldom what Lear wants to hear). However, the main thing is that the Fool is a comic/tragic character who cuts straight to the heart of the matter in his dialogue - just like Keiichi (in his, y'know, few seconds of seriousness ^_-).
For his part, Kamui is like Lear in the way he has the greatest amount of power - & the guilt from making an unimformed decision. He gets caught up in guilt & also the deceptions of others. It takes someone completely unaware, i.e. Keiichi, to break through all the wacky apocalyptic stuff & show Kamui a different point of view.

Hmmm...and I've just now noticed... a cute 'Come What May' karaoke + 5-minute Sorashi lemon! Ecssssssselent! *rubs hands* LOL

Your wish is my command *^^*. I have stuck my chibi-Dai fic on CFFML to help tilt the status quo a lil' bit. ^_^
BTW, I haven't read any S/S fics in over a year. Sick of them.
I LOVE S/S; I love the yin/yang thing, I love the shinigami, I love the constant littering XD, I love the symbolism, I love the allegory, I love an evil character who is truely scarey, I love the notion of magical backlash, I love said backlash killing cute fluffy kitties & bunnies & puppies, I love Seishirou getting cute fluffy puppy blood on Subby cos MAN that's geuinely chilling & ill!!!!!!! ^_^
But I can't read any more S/S fics. It's all same-old same-old. *blek*

...speaking of chibi-Dai; I was on chat the other day with Nayami, and when she asked me why Aoki made such a difference to the fic I simply said something flippant about Pocky.
And now for the smart answer which one always thinks of when one wakes up the next morning.^^;;; The original idea for the fic was straight-forward D/H, but it really didn't say anything about Daisuke except he's smoopy over Hinoto. The reason why the fic took shape after Aoki jumped in there is that he has had a much more powerful influence over Daisuke. He was the role model for Dai-kun, therefore Daisuke reflects Aoki's own morals & aspirations.

OH! I just remembered Aoki got the 'Hierophant' tarot card. *significant nods*

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

Oh most favoured pairing rant :)

Well Yuzu and Inuki have probably been my fave pair in X ever since I first flicked through X 5 to briefly notice some cute lil' girl glomping a big dog. That was so adorable ^______^!!!
And be assured they are a pair. Inuki is Yuzuriha's soulmate. He was her only friend for years and the one whom she confides to always (even after his death).
Which is, I believe the real test of how much Inuki means to Yuzu-chan. After leaving Kusa at the beginning of X 15, she immediately thinks of Inuki:
::Inuki.
I told Kusanagi-san that I love him.
He told me it's okay for me to love him.
He said so.
Inuki ...
You will always be in my heart.
I will never ever forget you.
I'll be strong, Inuki.::


My first point is that Yuzuriha is braver & stronger than a lot of the other characters, but hardly ever gets credit for it. Perhaps because she is young? Perhaps because she is genki? I'm not sure.
My second point is that you don't stop loving someone just because they're dead. I thought Yuzu-chan's grief over Inuki was portrayed very well.

Oh, and Inuki doesn't need to prove anything since he died for Yuzu-chan, which in the way of X means he loves her. ^_~
Now for the sticky patch. While I thought the part later in X 15 where Yuzu gains a new power is FAB, not to mention when she's holding the puppy and saying "we'll be together forever this time" is totally tear-jerking ;_; ....
...I thought the new Inuki was a part of her soul.
If it's as Satsuki described it - the same dog reincarnated - that makes it kind of difficult for me. Ah well. I guess that's why they're still my favourites. They give me something to contemplate. :)

It's a simple relationship, platonic of course; yet I find it more satisfying than a romance because, well, a girl loves her dog ^_~. Those two have been through a lot together. Never doubt the value of a close friend - even of the four-legged variety.

Various and sundry....

Two quick movie reviews:
'Gosford Park' is a murder mystery where it's NOT blindingly obvious whodunnit. ^_~ Very cool, and, oh, the divinely delicious Maggie Smith (sometimes known as Prof McGonnagall) was so funny...I loved hearing her say "ooo, yummy yummy" XD.
'The Importance of Being Ernest' was cute and Rupert Everett fantastic as ever. Wow, those bluebell fields in the forest - I believe the expression is "oh, to be in England!" ^___^.

I heard a song which is perfect for both Hinoto AND /Hinoto/. Namely, David Bowie's 'Cat People':

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It's been so long
And I've been putting out fire
With gasoline

See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It's been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
Ya wouldn't believe what I've been through
You've been so long
Well it's been so long
And I've been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out the fire with gasoline

See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn't believe what I've been through
You've been so long
Well it's been so long
So long
So long
And I've been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline


*GLOMPS* ^____^

*laughs* Oh, Satsy, this is so funny! XD You have such nice handwriting. Goodness alone knows how my own handwriting is legible at all, with a father like mine (but he has the excuse of being an historian, blek! LOL ;p).
I'm sure the package will get here soon, & Bel will send it on to me if it arrives after I've shifted out. ^_^ *bounce* Can't wait!

Well I think Paul McGann would be perfect as Aoki mainly for his air of innocence & being slightly out of it, XD.
"These shoes! they fit perfectly!*runs off happily*" Ahhhhhhhh *having a Doctor Who geeky moment*
And one can never have enough pics of him - those eyes!! ----> "Hearts...plural"------>*grins*

Slight change of plans...

To keep a long story short, I'm moving house again soon! I'm chasing up a swanky library job opportunity back in Hamilton (my hometown) which my mother got inside info on (she's an ex-librarian ^_~ WAHAHAHAHA! Mafia library clique! XD), thereby enabling me to go for an interview AND to see Nephew-chibi...
and somehow Dad ended up persuading me to move home even if I don't get the job.^^;;; LOL
The last time I boomeranged home was when I was 23 ^_^. But oh well, I miss the Olds and I miss my studio where I can make as much mess and spill as much paint as I like. Start placing bets, folks...I give it ten months 'til I leave 'em again. LOL
Of course I was like "Daddyyyyyyyy, what have you talked me into" at first, only now I can't wait to get home to the warm. ^________^ Just over a week to go, YAY!!

Oh yes, it's ONE MONTH UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! Y'all know where to send Aoki/Dai fanart ^_~.

Um...on Monday Bel, Manon and I went to see the Spiderman movie. WAY cool! I loved it! The antagonist guy was genuinely scarey in places, & it was very interesting to see the father/son thing going on between him & Peter Parker. Niiiiicely done sub-text. :D Best bit was wet Kirstin dunst nipple-action, ROFL. >:3
Of course I actually spent the majority of the movie thinking fervently what an awesomely perfect Daisuke James Franco would make (he played Peter's best friend and Argustar suggested him so it's all her fault! XD And don't you say anything - Daisuke is too hot, istooistooistooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! ^_-). He had the exact right sort of eyes (really DARK with a little spot of light ^_^) and eyebrows (just need to be a little bit blacker, & his hair lightened); even the right sort of nose (although it wasn't snubbed it was still kinda blobby & cute ^_______^). The one thing that doesn't quite suit is that James Franco has bee-ooo-tee-foool lips, whereas I'd think Dai-kun'd have just an ordinary mouth. He's too burly to have a lovely mouth, LOL. Now, AOKI would have to have very pretty lips (to go with his pretty glasses ^_~).

Actually, I was kinda planning on kidnapping you the whole time we were talking - after about the first two minutes of conversation! ROFL You didn't seem standoffish at all, Lika-chan (did you know you have a smile in your voice? *^^*), and we totally need some hobbit yuri next time. XD
"there will be no foolish wand-waving in this class..." (heheheheh, gotta keep in praaaactise! ;p).

Gotta say that Satsy is one of the coolest people, if not the coolest person I know online. :D That thing you said about makeup? SO true!
BTW, loving the new layout for 'Pointleff (^_~ LOL) - quoth the Raven "Nevermore". *grins* I've had a quick zap through the new galleries - good stuff, hope to see more! I was starting to have withdrawals from lack of Satsy-art!

Oooh, magenta! XD, Imouto-chan, what exactly are Yuuto and Sei doing? It looks like they're dealing packets of shoe-polish or something^^;;;
ROFL

First of all, I totally DIG your groovy layout! (can Kamui scrub Hinoto's back for her? *plonks wifey-dear into the bath* Cos, y'know she's invalid & can't do it herself ^_~)
Second of all, FUUMA?! NO! Fuuma Monou? THE Fuuma? "Kamui" Fuuma? How? Where? Why? How? Say it ain't so! NOOOOO!

Awwwwwww, a Hinoto yelling out for Kanoe and Dai would be so cool. (She'd do that for SURE!!) ^____^ In fact that makes me feel a lot better! CLAMP'll probably give her a beautiful death-scene! ^_^

They are odd, in the most deleriously CLAMPy way. :P Except D/H manage to be cute as well...You hit on the point which makes D/H so sweet - Daisuke wasn't just there to do his job, although Hinoto didn't realise this for the longest time. Cuties! *gush gush*

Which reminds me! Codi! Cori! a song for you!
"the buzzard said 'you must be joking me...release your hold and I will set you free.'
the monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said 'your story's so touching but it sounds just like a lie'
straighten up and fly right
straighten up and stay right...
"
^_____~

AH! you know that I mean 'resemblance to Daisuke' as a compliment, right? I mean, if I had said Aoki was nothing at all like Dai-kun that'd be the most horrible insult coming from me! LOL ^___^
To be excruciatingly honest, I think why I prefer Dai-kun is the NotKamui (or not!Kamui, XD XD XD) thing. If Aoki had been the one shouting & blustering at everyone "that is NOT Kamui! Someone who doesn't care blahblahblah" then I'd probably be a mad fan of his instead of the nephew (...blustering? Must. Stop. Wind. Puns. LMAO) Not that I don't think Aoki isn't funny & sweet, cos he is, but when I say I like angry!Daisuke I truely mean it. :0 hee hee

Oh no *groans* there's some speculation on the S/K ML as to who'll be on the Sun Card, Daisuke or Keiichi? ARRGH! I mean, of course Kei-chan fits the card to a tee, but in the race between getting a colour pic my vote is still for Dai-kun out of (a) loyalty and (b) the fact that he's a major character and Kei-chan a very very minor one.
Shall distract self with nifty X cosplay pics (super-nifty, check 'em out! ^_^).
And some rather amusing referals:
(1) +"cruel wife" (oi! She ain't THAT bad! *snik*)
(2) The common limpit (how DARE you insult Hinoto-hime like that! I've a good mind to set Daisuke on you! XD)

XD
