- Welp, you might have noticed I went icon shopping. I replaced the whole kitten kaboodle (<weirdest saying ever). My personal favourite is the one of Ocelot from the Hiimdaisy comics. I was really happy to actually find one on Photobucket. The one I am using now is pretty awesome too.
- I'm watching Xmen Evolution again, and I don't even know why. I have justified it with the fact that when I originally watched it, I missed a lot of the episodes or I only saw parts, because the website I was using was crap. Now, tho, Youtube's Marvel channel has all of the four seasons' episodes on in HQ. So yay. The real reason I think I am watching it tho is for the blue furry elf man. Plus, I'm a huge Xmen nerd. After this, there is apparently a new Xmen series out that I am intending to watch (I know, that's like three series and three movies, four if you count the generally awful Wolverine movie). And then, I'll probably try to find the Batman 90s animated series, mostly for Mark Hamill as the Joker as well as Harley Quinn, because they are both cool.
- Speaking of that... I have a video I think EVERYONE will enjoy. I know I did.
Besides that stuff, it's all X-files and work and the Christmas Parade coming up this weekend which mom always freaks out about. I also still need your address Sarah, if you want a card. Anyway, love you guys. Have a good 'un.

- I got called off from work today, same as last Sunday. My pay cheque is going to rock, lol.
- Mom and I finished Death Note, which was awesome, in a kind of weird way. Mikami's death was random and hilarious, I have to say. Mello and Matt needed more screen time, and Light needed less. Because he's a douche.
- I've been on a Margaret Atwood fix lately. I've read Oryx and Crake and most recently I am working on the Blind Assassin. Oryx and Crake was excellent, a real dystopian story. I loved it actually. The Blind Assassin is a bit slow, however.
- We're watching Xmen 2 right now, and I have one very important question: Why the Hell was Night Crawler not in the third film? Because he was awesome. Kelsey Grammer as Beast helped a bit, but really, two blue guys are better than one.
- We've started watching the X-files, which Nicki's mom let me borrow. We've only watched two episodes, and it's really good, even though it's a bit dated, but hey, anything that puts off watching more Get Smart XP.
- I have a new plant, Sylvia Louise Walsh, who is the spider plant off-spring of mom's big mix and mash plant. There was a growth, and I was all like, oooh, spider plants can grow from off-shoots (Rainie taught me that through her plant posts), so I snapped it up quick. I'll take a picture when she is a bit bigger.
- Mom and I have probably watched almost every abridged series related to any anime we have ever seen on Youtube. Mom's idea, not mine. They were usually okay, we didn't watch them if they were really stupid. We do have some standards.

I'm still working, and the last few days have been pretty awful. Hockey teams suck, flist. They are noisy, rude, dirty, and they don't care about anybody who has to clean up after them. At least they (sometimes) tip. I have two days off, including today, and I need them. I had to go to the library as usual on a Tuesday, but it wasn't that bad.
Hallowe'en is coming, and I am going to my friend's house after work that day. We have to dress up at work too, but I'm just wearing an old lady mask and a nightgown for that (not a lot of effort involved, because I'll still need to work that day). Once I get home, I have to pick up a bag with my other costume, and then go to Dana's. Her and Emma (a mutual friend) are dressing up as a Sniper and a Scout from Team Fortress 2. I am going to do kind of a modern Ultimecia, using my Kabuto wig. I bought a red vampire dress thing, and I'm going to do the face makeup like hers, with purple eyeshadow, red lipstick. I also bought fake nails, although I couldn't get just plain black ones. We're going to take lots of pictures and then probably we're going to Belleville to storm the Bulk Food Barn. It should be fun, but busy, I'll be driving around everywhere, and I'll be tired from work. Thankfully, we don't start until ten on Sunday, plus the clocks get pushed back. Considering I threw my costume together a little, I'm fairly proud of it.
Besides that, mom and I are still watching Death Note, which is great, I must say. Light has lost his memory, and the Yotsuba company thing is going on. It's pretty cool, and nice Light is so much better than just pretending to be nice Light. He's such a fake prick otherwise. Anyway, that's all for now folks. Love you guys!

Hellz Yeah. Notice how Light's not there? Reason for that.
Well, maybe if he looked like this all the time:
God, why can't real men look like animated men? Think of all the pretty babies! Plz?
Umm, yeah, moving on...
Very excited about this!
Well, this was a pointless, random entry that avoided real life entirely. Work is the same, Kate is an awesome house-guest, and I'm just barely getting enough sleep. If you couldn't tell by the manic fangirling. Yayz!

I`m just going to use my sunglasses for his goggles, or else I won`t be able to see (I refuse contacts). My headband is navy instead of black, but big deal. I have the shoes already. So yeah. I`m all set.

I finished Avatar, and I am buying the whole series if only for the third season, which was awesome. Mom and Dad and I watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and we're working on the Star Wars Trilogy. Get Smart is also an ongoing project, but you can only watch so many of those before your brain rots and oozes out onto the floor. It's okay. But now I have nothing else to watch. Ideas, anyone?
As Kate has said, Thanksgiving is the thing to look forward too, then the Christmas party on the 12 of December. I can't believe how much I miss my family. Anywho, love you guys.

- Had awesome time with Kate yesterday, bought 4 miyazaki films and mulan. Watched Deathnote. Bought FMA gns and one bleach. Read them all before work this morning. Epic.
- Watched latest episode of FMA brotherhood. Also epic. Sad too.
- Just ate some popcorn.
- Mom and Dad and I are looking after a dog this weekend. Staying at the people's house. Have television which = Family Guy+Simpsons. Rad.
- Have to work the next two days and probably Sunday, then no day off until next Friday. Whoot.
- Loving .hack//sign still. Mom's just getting into it now.
- Watching Avatar the Last Airbender. Very well done American show based on anime art style. Going to buy when I have money. Maybe for Christmas?
- Had to get a new modem because KOS demanded their loaner back. Jerks.
- Going to bed naos. Luv u gaiz.

SEE YA TOMORROW, IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!
Anyway, I had yesterday off and today off, which was both good and bad because yesterday I was sick as a dog with a really nasty cold. It's clearing up a bit now, but my nose is still running and my ears still kind of hurt. I have to go to the Dentist today (paying my own way), so I have to warn them to wear their masks. I wouldn't wish what I had yesterday on anyone.
Because of the sick, tho, mom and I stayed in and watched anime! We have been borrowing RahXephon from my friend Nicki, who has the whole series, and we finished it yesterday. I've already seen it once, but as it's even more confusing than Xenosaga, the second watch through helped, as well as frequent visits to Wikipedia. Once you now what's going on, the story is quite beautiful, if a bit weird in spots. Mom liked it, so I guess that's a good sign. Then we started watching .hack//sign (which I had to download because the DVDs were discontinued by the manufacturer, bastards). Usually I would feel a touch of shame from downloading a whole series for free, but not this time, they brought it upon themselves. ANYWAY, I'm enjoying .hack//sign, even though mom is not sure what to think of it. It is a bit of a slow starter, and it's almost all dialogue and no action, but I like it. The music is beautiful, but that's just normal for .hack. I can't watch any more FMA Brotherhood because they are at the point I am at in the manga, so I want to read more before I watch it.
Anyway, besides that, work is going okay. I've been in laundry a lot, but I like it, even if it does ruin the ends of my fingers. Mom and Dad are okay, and we're going to the gym today if I feel up to it. I hope you are all doing well, and I'm sorry that my other entries have not been very interesting. No ones been commenting, so I guess you are all busy. Love you all.
EDIT: Just received the Death Note live-action movie that I got from Amazon along with something else I ordered! Excitement plz? Didn't end up going to the gym, didn't want to infect people, and my dentist appt went well and was fairly cheap! Oh happy days!

Nothing much going on here. I just finished another short fic. I almost reach 1000 words on this one! Oooooh. I'm just gonna have mom look over it when she gets home tomorrow before I subject you.... errr, let you guys read it. It's another Death Note one, big surprise, lol.
I've been playing Pokemon Platinum. I just beat the 7th gym, yay! Now for the guy who looks like Minato aka Yondy. I've also been playing Beyond Good and Evil, and I know at least Seth has played that. Excellent game, I must say. Creative storyline, gameplay, and music. Seriously, I could sit in my hovercraft out on the water for hours. I love that music. Fun minigames too, and for a person who likes taking pictures in real life, this game is perfect. They WANT you to take pictures, it's like Pokemon Snap, except you can go anywhere (and no Pokemon)! You guys should play. It's Zeldaesque in several ways, actually.
Oh, and btw: OMFG I PASSED MY F*CKING LICENSING E
For those of you who aren't on my Facebook.
Oops, gotta fix monsieur Internet again. Damn it all.
- Mood: cheerful
I'm going to make this quick because I never know when my internet is going to konk out lately. It's a real pain in the ass, let me tell you. I have to go down and turn things on and off, unplug things, and then MAYBE it will start working. Not always.
Anyway, I have the day off today. Work is getting a little better, although I'm becoming disillusioned with unemployed youth lately. One new girl came in one day, didn't come in the next day, called at 11 to say she couldn't come in (no reason given), got fired, explained, got another chance, came in one more day, quit because she found another job. I mean really. Do people not understand common courtesy? Or at least karma? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I wouldn't have given her a second chance in the first place, and then she squanders it like that. And after I gave her some of my lunch because she didn't have one. Jeez.
Oh, there goes the internet. Now I have to save this in Microsoft Word, fix the internet, then post this. Great.
Other than that, I have another fic on the way. On the way as in I have the title written down and have ideas in my head. Meh, I'm lazy. We got a new vacuum and it's wonderful (vacuuming is about the only chore I enjoy doing). .hack//sign has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so I can't buy it. I was really pissed about that. Still am. Watched Porco Rosso. Excellent Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli film, more mature (by that I mean I think kids would find it boring, not that it's violent or whatever), but also very funny and silly. There's something about those films that just warm my heart and make me feel happy and optimistic about the future. Watched Star Wars Episode 3 with mom. Enjoyed it, made fun of the dialogue, sang to the music, drank alcohol. Good times. I'm starting to appreciate Hayden Christiansan's (I have no idea how to spell his last name) looks, but only when he smiles. Which he does like twice in that movie. Still can't act. Mom and I are going to watch the last three (or first three, depending on your view), because they really are the best.
Oh, what else (and I totally realize this is longer than I originally intended, but the internet is down anyway, so might as well continue). Frieza's finally dead in DBZ. Maria Ross was just "murdered" by Roy in FMA Brotherhood. I'm playing Pokemon Platinum again. That's about it. Love you guys. Keep on truckin' and all that.

Anyway, since Matt and Mello are my favourite characters (besides the glorious L, of course), this one is about them. They are also my favourite couple, but this isn`t a yaoi fic. And I made some of it up, since Matt`s backstory is almost insignificant. Please read and enjoy!
Again, not very long, and I wrote it rather quickly. I hope it all makes sense and you like it. Thanks!
- Mood:
good
Yeah. Although I don't like Light at all (HE KILLED L, THE BASTARD), he is a fascinating character study, psychologically. Talk about the poster boy for God complex. I wanted to show his slow but steady change from a guy who basically wanted to do good, to a guy who wanted to become a god, to a guy who thought he was god. I think the scene with Matsuda at the end summed it up well, with the whole, "You killed your own father!" and Light replying, "A god cannot have a father." He thought he was above all things, even when his death proved he wasn't. Great character. Asshole.
Anyway, I hope you like. Ignore the sentence fragments, that's how I write fiction. Tell me what you think, and be gentle because this is the first time in a while I've really wanted to write something. Thanks, and I love you guys.

Besides that, not much going on. Still studying, still working. I got called in last Sunday, but I have tomorrow off, which will rock, because me and Kate are going to see HP and out for dinner and such. I went to the library today. My life is so exciting XD.
It thundered a bit earlier, so I'm just staying up until I'm sure that's done with. Mom and Dad just came back from a romantic night in Gananoque, which, unfortunately, is not where Ganon lives. Damn. They bought me the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, which is just f-ing ace. Or kicking rad, whatever you prefer.
Oh, and all of you guys should watch Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged (because it is also f-ing ace/kicking rad), especially this one (around 5:30 is a quote that is relevant to Kate's last entry XD):
I'd choose that over the original show any day. It brings joy to my life.
Anyway, see ya guys. Love ya all. *is STILL giddy*
EDIT: Yugioh Abridged does finally exist on Wikipedia, under Yugioh XD.

Besides that, my parents and I just a few hours ago finished Angel. I love the last episode, but I still agree that the ending is much too abrupt. I can always work off the comics, but they just don't seem canon to me, even though Joss Whedon wrote them. Same for Buffy, although I am working through the comics when I am in Chapters. I won't pay for them, but I will read them. Speaking of Angel, Fred dying totally makes me ball my eyes out every freaking time... It's just so sad (and I hope that wasn't a total spoiler or anything, but I'm pretty sure you all have seen Angel before). Fred hardly got a chance to live her life, spending five years crazy in another dimension, and she just started in a relationship with Wesley, who loved her for so long, and she dies. Not only does she die, but her soul disappears completely. Everything is gone. She doesn't go anywhere (wherever the dead go in the Buffyverse), and when Wesley dies later (another horribly sad scene), he's not going to see her on the other side, because she's not there. She's nothing. It's very depressing, whether you like the character or not. As much as I love Illyria (she just freaking ace), that fate for Fred really sucks. She worked so hard and got nothing for it. Probably the reason that scene make me so sad is that it happens to a lot of people (granted, not in exactly the same way). Plus, Wesley reacting to it, trying to comfort her and then finally breaking down completely, is really hard to watch... amazing acting and writing, dear God.
Another thing I watched recently was Slumdog Millionaire, which I have to say was a pretty awesome movie. I've been thinking about it almost constantly since watching it. Not a lot of movies have that effect on me. Well, okay, I do tend to dwell on things a little too much, looking for themes and nuances and meaning (FMA, anyone?). But slumdog millionaire was really good. Great acting, great direction, amazing music, beautiful (if a little farfetched) love story, and a good look at life in India's slums without feeling like you are getting your face rubbed in it. It's not a Very Important Movie or anything, it's realistic. I highly suggest you all watch it if you can. you may not like it, but it might make you think, even weeks later.
Welp, that's about all going on in my life right now. Still watching DBZ, still studying, still working. I want to go see Harry Potter next Wednesday, perhaps with a person whose name rhymes with "late", as I have the day off. We'll see. By then the crowds will have died down a little. Talk to you guys later.
- Mood:
sleepy
I'm also really tired and eating cold pizza. Thinking about watching DBZ, or maybe studying. I should do the second, but I think a combo is in order.
Love you guys. I'll be more energetic next entry.
- Mood:
exhausted
Work is going better. I'm actually speeding up with the room-cleaning. I'm getting to know people and I'm actually kind of enjoying it, as much as you can enjoy cleaning up other people's mess. There's been some drama (one girl got fired for stealing), but it's still okay. I don't think I can see myself doing it for years on end, but it's okay.
Besides that, I'm currently drinking tea, which is tasty stuff. Just normal Orange Pekoe, but pretty good. I also went to Kate's house the other day, which was just swell. We played rock band, ate sandwiches and drank tea, and watched some Simpsons. It was great. I also went shopping last week. I got the most current Bleach (27). and FMA up to 10. I can't really wait for FMA Brotherhood to get to where they are in the manga :D. I got a book as well called the Devil's Diaries, which is a pretty funny little book. I also wanted to get another plant and name it Sylvia Louise, but I couldn't find any that I liked or that would live in my room. My room is dark, so they have to be partial sun plants. So yeah, I guess I'll just have to wait to find Terrence a little friend.
Besides that, there's not much else going on. My exams are almost in a month. I've received a message from the Law Society giving my instructions for the exam about where to go, what I can bring, and what time to be there. Hopefully it goes well. I'm going to do some more studying later.
Love you guys. A lot. Hope things are going well.
