Friday: 4-20-01 ~ Musings...

Heart-sib: WMC's orders, take your medicine, get a massage, go to bed, and call me in the morning. :)

Clone-chan: WOW, I got e-mail from you. *GASPS* BTW, neither the summer package, the winter package, or the money from Arianna have arrived. -_- And maybe your father takes the Bank jobs, because it pays better? And btw, reading your pita on a Macintosh is PURE hell. ^_^ note: Wmc has a PC at home, but uses Mac's at school. And what does a hotdog have to do with tradition?

My weekend will be "PACKED". Next week is the last week before finals. I have 2 papers to write, 4 rewrites, King Lear to read, and my hollow ring project to complete. My ailing Aunt who underwent in the fall major surgery and cancer treatment will be in town this weekend with her husband who is attending a State Medical conference. (He's on the Board of Health in San Antonio). My parents are retrieving me from my apartment right after work, and then we are heading over to the Hotel to meet up with my Aunt and Uncle and then head off to dinner. Hopefully the Cheesecake Factory. Gourmet food, at a reasonable price. You pay around $12 US per person, but they serve you so much food it's like getting 2-3 meals. My parents always split a meal and still take home leftovers. I always get a meal by myself, so i have left-overs. Their menu is around 50 pages long, and *EVERYTHING* they make is simply superb. The variety of their food is great too because they have various dishes from around the world. And their Cheesecake is to die for. I always get the caramel d'luche. *SLURPS* It's not that horrid stuff you always see for sale. No this cheesecake is so tender it melts on your tongue.

Gee, I'm getting hungry thinking about it @_@

I caught Schlindler's List on PBS last night, and sat down and watched all of it. it's a movie I don't go out of my way to watch, but if it shows on TV, I always just sit my rear down and watch it. Everytime I watch it it awes me. Spielberg really outshone himself in this one, and it wans't because he was trying to make a name for himself, but he took himself out of the picture, he told the story. he told it beautifully, and wonderfully not shirking from the graphic content when it was needed. He just presented it. The actors and actresses were humble enough to do their job without their ego getting in the way of the characters. They told the story. And it is an important story. It's a truly frightening thought when there still exist thousands to millions of people in this world who think the Holocaust was some great hoax.

I firmly believe that each and every one of us has a duty to perform in this life. I believe this was Spielberg's. It is very important to retell the legacy of one's ancestors, of a people. Because of his work on the film, he started an organization called Shoah. It's a non-profit organization which sends crews around the world, documenting and interviewing the survivoers of the Holocaust. They want to record every single story, geography and language is no boundary for them. They want to record all these stories for future generations. It is an improtant work, and one hell of a legacy to leave behind.

I am not Jewish by any means, but I do have Jewish friends, and I have walked the streets of Israel. I think the greatest think about Judaism is the fact they remember their past, their roots, their history more so than any other modern society that I know of. The words "Never Again" apply to not only the Holocaust but to Masada. I went to Masada and... the experience was POWERFUL. For Americans... Masada is like their Alamo. It sounds hokey, but it's the only thing I can think of that's any *SORT* of comparison.

In some ways that is a beautiful thing. I only know the vaguest of generalities about my own ancestral roots. both sides of my family were immigrants to the US, both sides arriving in the 1700's or early 1800's. I'm primarily of German stock, though I have some French and Irish blood in me, and I'm 1/16 Cherokee. Both of my great-great-grandmothers survived the Trail of Tears. But I have no real since of a family history, of tradition. I am the typical American conglomerate, proud of my mixture but next to clueless about my ancestors and their ways. This is in my opinion a horrid epidemic in America, and I've noticed it in other areas where people move around a lot (mainly the old British colonies, Britain, and Australia). I'd even say it's true of Japan which is slowly being corrupted by "western ways".

Clone-chan and Kero-chan, how does this apply to the societies in which you two live? I'm curious? Especially since cautiously I'd speculate that there's a noticeable decline in history/root/ancestral knowledge because of the increasing Westernization (due to economy etc) in both your countries.



Friday: 4-20-01 ~ The English Grad Student is In.

Kero-chan: Love the new layout, and I think the text size looks great. Especially since I couldn't read the old one at *ALL* on a Macintosh. As to Wuthering Heights, you need to be more familiar with the period of the writers and background information. It was written by one of the three Bronte sisters. One of the other Bronte sisters, Charlotte, is famous for her book Jane Eyre; the two have totally different writing styles.

The book did have a purpose, in fact many books around that time period, both a little before and after revolved around a key theme: social class. England was a very class-oriented society. Emphasis was placed on marrying well to maintain the family class or move up the ladder. If you're familiar with the book Wives and Daughters, it's evident in that as well. Forgive me but I'm horrible with remembering names. Anyway you have a "esquire" pronounced "squire" who is a doctor, His wife dies, and he remarries a widower by her married name of Kirkpatrick. She was actually beneath him in station (a former Governess I believe). She had been encouraging interest with her daughter and another man who was financially well off, but still a servant to another. After the marriage to the esquire, she had raised in position from help to mistress, and changed her opinions ont he man she had been encouraging to court her daughter. Instead now she's look at others of equal and greater status only for her daughter.

Wuthering heights like so many other books of it's time were critising the caste system. It was especially far more difficult for women. Even if a woman was born of the right "station" if financial difficulties beset her family she'd end up going unmarried or marrying below her station because of the lack of a sufficient dowry. The men had to marry well to provide for themselves and the dwidnling family income and/or added expenses.

The women authors of this time from England all write various types of stories, but all of them focus on the differences in the caste system. Also you start seeing some fo the Frakenstein themes popping up, especially in the Bronte works. As to what I mean by Frakenstein themes, I mean the portrayal of either man or a patriarchal caste-goverened society as a monster.

The love/hate theme you see is in many ways the love/hate one has throughout life. The land we know, the society we grow up in, the food, the traditions, we all love this and hate it in degrees. The love/hate theme is 1) the love/hate of the caste society 2) love/hate of man and woman and 3) love/hate from childhood, through the coming of age into maturity.

Anyway, I hope that helps you!



Monday: 4-16-01 ~ right after class

Sometimes Dr. Tom Porter, my Shakespeare teacher, truly says something that... well sticks with you. Today he made the comment when we were discussing "The Winter's Tale" about how babies don't really resemble anything except a potatoe or Winston Churchill when they're still newborns.

Yeah, you read that right: Winston Churchill. It's a scary observation, and what truly disturbs me is I *SEE* it.



Monday: 4-16-01 ~ Afternoon Cartoon Time

Clone-chan: I have to say, SHARE the French and Greek sexually related terminology with me too! As to what account I check most, I check all of them daily, but I specifically check hulsman@mindspring.com and wmchichiri@yahoo.com several times a day. Unless I'm out of town, or sick.

Mini-yew: Hello lil squirt :) As soon as Sigynn's trinket box is finished with the copper-plating, the massive care package with your loot will be mailed off. So *HOPEFULLY* (please note that *hopefully* is the operative word) I should have the package in the mail within the next 3 weeks. Here's something just for yew: ...



Monday: 4-16-01 ~ Wmc's bedtime no da

I've been happily drugged out on painkillers for my back. They've made me awfully drowsy, so I've spent the last few days primarily sleeping, and killing the little spiders that have decided to take roust in my room at my parent's house. GEE, you don't go home for over a month, and critters think they can move in. *BLEH*

Kero-chan: I just wanted to say I enjoyed our chat from what... over a week ago? I still can't believe you thought I lived in the Phillipines @_@. Scary.

Laurel-chan: I *LOVE* the new layout. It kicks. But poor Ken-kun was unloved. Makes me want to unzip him and comfort the poor neglected boy. *Sniffs* YEAH! I'm glad the package arrived. Let me know what you think about Touch. ^_^

Clone-chan: I don't know what it is. But I'm sick of being teased. There I am on AIM and I see you pop on... and then either I get no response, once I got a hi, and then *Poof* you disappear. So is this you, or is this your AIM account activating on a computer someone else is using? I have not received the e-mail you told me I had still. And make your anime choice, will ya? I need to start working on copying things soon.

Heart-sib: Miss yew. Thanks for letting me know what the shits' ring size was. I've decided to make him a ring (a hollow ring). It's my next assignment in metals and jewelry, and since hollow rings tend to be fairly hefty, I couldn't think of one looking good on a woman. Figured I'd give the baka something. Any symbols or patterns you could suggest that might work for him... I'm listening ^_^



Sunday: 4-15-01 ~ The Bunny Hop

Easter is one of those unique gifts where a Christian Holiday sorta merged with the celebrations of a pagan one. It is supposed to mark the anniversary of when Christ was resurrected from the dead. In various pagan cultures it was a day to celebrate fertility. Which is why to this day there are easter egg hunts and the like. Several years ago for the neighborhood kids I got conned into being the Easter bunny. So there I was covered from head to toe in a pink bunny suit, prancing and "hopping" around. Some of the kids were quite sweet and just wanted to hug me, the others wanted to torture me. I got kicked in the rear, my tail yanked on, etc. The littles were on a rampage. It got so bad the parents had to "guard" me. It was either that, or watch me kill the little brats.

Is anyone traumatized by the thought of me as the Easter Bunny?

There's just something about holidays... as a kid I lived for them, as an adult there's no special sparkle anymore. I must admit I do like to indulge my inner child from time to time, but holidays now are... disappointing for me.

When I was little I used to make signs and prop thme up with books which essentially said "Easter bunny this way" with little arrows and the like to my room. Unless you're familiar with the tradition from your host's mind... the Easter bunny visits the houses during th night and leaves eggs and sweets behind for kids. (The bunny of course being your parents, but when you're little... you believe in the magic of the tales your parents spin).

This Easter I mainly rested my back and my energy. I've been most tired. The only thing I really got done (until returning to my place) was getting my diploma framed and hung proudly on a wall at home. I'm still smirking with pride over that one, although the diploma in and of itself is quite plain. Usually they tend to have script/calligraphy writing on them and are printed on a good quality leather. Hence why some still refer to them thru the use of the slang word 'sheepskin.' Mine was on a slightly nicer than normal paper, with plain blocked writing. I was so unimpressed. You think afrter all the work that goes into getting that piece of paper they would make it look more presentable.



Tuesday: 4-10-01 ~ Drowsy Afternoon

I'm drugged out on painkillers. My back and neck are in excruciating pain. I skipped out on my classes yesterday because I could barely move.

*SIGHS*

This bytes na no da. I'm planning to hit the health clinic early tomorrow morning to get some *REAL* painkillers, cause the muscle relaxers I have and Ibruprofen just are not cutting it. It's so bad, I'm packing a pillow with me so I can help prop up my back as it needs to be.

*slurps* The one good thing is I'm at work, downloading many a mp3 from Napster as well as rewatching Card Captor Sakura 65.. the pivotal Yukito/Touya episode if you ask me. *SIGHS* Ah the good stuff. Let's see today was Mercedes Lackey music (I don't have on cd), Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver, Chicago, Foreigner, Digimon, Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, and Queen download day on Napster. I even downloaded "We are the World"... I've been beyond pissed since the tape I had bit the dust years ago.... finally I have the song again! YEAH!

I think next I should find Willie Nelson music specifically "Momma's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" and the "Gambler"

I finished reading Detienne's "The Masters of Truth in Archaic Greece" it's really quite fascinating. It looks as truth in speech as divided into 2 things, magicoreligious and socioreligious, and how there are 2 main views of truth older to newer. In the older view truth is ambiguous; in the more modern view truth is contradictory (meaning it is defined through comparison and contrast).



Saturday 4-7-01 ~ Sat. Nite & the mood is right

A plushie for whoever catches the reference *points above*

DA.....

*giggles like a fiend* Yesterday was a *GOOD* day. It was act like a little kid day! YEAH! *does the da dance of joy* I got on my friends PC and downloaded from Napster *ooh bad wmc ^_~* Kermit's Rainbow Connection, and It's not Easy Being Green... I downloaded all three of the Red Baron and Snoopy Songs, and downloaded the end of Card Captor Sakura from my friend's ftp server (at work mind you). After work my roomie Angie, our mutual friend Sophie, and I all hopped into the car and varoomed off to see the Pokemon 3 movie. Afterwards we came back to the apartment, ordered in pizza and had an anime marathon. The first time I actually looked at the clock it was already 3 am, when I finished the marathon at 7 in the morning, I was exhausted, but giddy and in tears... MY gosh... Card Captor Sakura had me BAWLING at the end. *sniffs* And life is good when you get to watch winged bishounen, but especially Yue. *slurps*

Somehow I remembered to record Saturday morning cartoons and went off for a nap. I woke up 3 hours later and my mother came over. She came over to deliver a check for rent. (I usually pay rent, but with the art supplies I've had to purchase and the lack of funds from my lab being closed during Spring Break I was short on cash). She then treated me out to a nice Japanese bento lunch box special at Nagoya's, took me grocery shopping, and we went to the university bookstore to choose and purchase the frame for my diploma.

I've been piddling around the house, cleaning a tad bit (nothing major), doing my laundry, and watching anime as I wait for my friends Heero and Usagi to come swing by. They live down in Austin and came up to visit family in my area, and are going to torture me to get the last episode of Kare Kano. Yes I feel so used. ^_~

Clone-chan: Um... what mail? I checked every single one of my e-accounts and there wasn't a message to be had from you anywhere!

Heart-sib: Miss you. Hope you're back is doing better. I have this one spot in my back that is *KILLING* me.



Thursday: 4-5-01 ~ Weib should hunt my beast ^_~

*coughs*

Well I'm officially free of the Cultural Studies Class *PHEW* I can focus and concentrate now on my other graduate classes.

For those of you wondering... I found out why my site Seika.org is down. It seems that the company's provider I have my site through went bankrupt. My company is currently looking into a new provider. It'll be a few days for them to find one, sign the contracts, transfer the accounts, and them to give me the new DNS servers so I can update the internet registry files... All in all it looks like the site will be down at least one week if not more. If you really need something from the site, ask me and I can e-mail it along.

I blame my roomate for hooking me to Digimon. She rented the movie several weeks back, when I was trying to do my homework... it sucked me in,I said "screw it" to my homework, and watched the movie... she went to bed mid-way *the ahou* evn after it was done, there I was up another 4 hours doing my homework... but it hooked me. This past weekend she picked up the first Digimon DVD of the tv series. There's just no comparison. You get 4 volumes on 1 DVD for the same price as 1 volume on 1 DVD for Pokemon. Don't get me wrong I like Pokemon, but geesh when you compare it that way guess which one people will buy! Digimon is infinitely cute, and now I'm trying to feel in gaps in what I've seen. I'm trying to find the transition between the original crew and the new crew, and seeing little TK grow to TALL TK. *ARGH* Why must I be perpetually hooked to cute things?



Wednesday: 4-4-01 ~ graduate disillusionment

Things have been extermely hectic for me. I came to the decision that I bit off far more than I could chew this semester. I'm dropping my Cultural Studies class so i can concentrate on my other two graduate classes. So, the yaoi paper on American fandom is postponed indefinitely.

On top of this the anime club is fracturing... and show downs and nuclear fall-out shall soon ensue. There are several officers irked at another specific officer for certain things they have done or failed to do. The bitch-fest ensueth.

Clone-chan: Will you give me your wishlist animewise already?! GEESH. Congratulations on the Asian studies thing! I've always wanted to study in England. I'm envious. However... *sniffs* you dind't mention me on the blurb about fic-writers, and you said I'm the whole reason you started writing Aoshi and Misao fics no da. *sniffs* You don't love me anymore!!!!!!!!

*wmc is mildly hysterical, she has had an extremely rough time of it lately.*

I'm also extremely IRKED at the moment... my website is down again. I swear the ISP is driving me crazy. They keep switching the DNS servers on me without me knowing!! I'm assuming that's what the problem is this time, I'll find out tomorrow during business hours.

Laurel-chan: DA! Actually I have X graphic novels 1-6 now, so don't worry about that. As to the tapes it's probably for the best, I have some rewrites to endure in Semiotics. And I fear when it coems to certain anime I have not seen before I pleasantly ignore all other responsibilities. Has your package arrived yet? Oh and I lvoe the new layout, are there pics of Youji or Omi in the same style? if so I want! *pouts*

Heart-sib: Da... I hope your foot is doing better. I'm missing you something fierce. I get so depressed when I don't get to chat with you several nights in a row. Take care of yourself no da.



Tuesday: 3-27-01 ~ crunch time

Homework, alas, the bane of my existence. *wmc utters a long suffering sigh* I'm currently trying to collect data on fandom opinions and views of yaoi and/or shouta with a nifty survey. PLEASE... help me out by checking it out and sending me your answers to the survey. I've got a lengthy 20 page minimum seminar paper to do in my graduate class in American Culturual Studies. I need all the help I can get.

Heart-sib: Happy birthday! I only wish I could be with you today and celebrate with you. I hope you have a great day. I'm envious but enjoy Fosey! I'm sorry I missed you tonite, and I won't see you tomorrow either, and Wednesday I suspect I'll be doing my homework for my *BEEP* class on Thursday. Miss you.



Sunday: 3-25-01 ~ the wee little hours

*cackles*

Yes, I must have surely caused much dementia for my Clone-chan if she dedicated her latest redesign to me. (Ahhh isn't that sweet?) And where on *EARTH* did you find that picture? *wmc dissolves into a melting little puddle of da at the sweetness and shounen-ai implications of the picture* But... now I have to update my links to reflect the new name. Make up your mind :P

Heart-sib: when are you ever going to submit a new entry you baka? And I swear not only has Miboshi possessed your computer, infected mine with his germs, he's screwing with the phone lines now... maybe he's into electro-stimulation.....

*wmc washes her mind with harsh lye soap, because that thought even disgusted herself*

Well I guess I better get back tot he midterm I've bee woring on for the last 7 hours, and I'm not even at the half-way point yet. Bleh.



Wednesday: 3-21-01 ~ late afternoon blues

For a spring break, I'm getting nothing done, and having no fun. I've just been *SO* tired.I love it when I go into hibernation mode for a few months. But I'm happy! Yanwen made me a watercolor Chichiri fanart as a gift for graduation. Looky! I told her though that the watercolor isn't very practical. Afterall, it induces the fangirl drooling syndrome in me and he may wash away. And it's not fun because the medium prevents me from licking him, and he looks so OISHI na no da. *sighs*

Clone-chan: Sorry to hear about your ankle. Trust me I sprain my right ankle at least once a year and spend at least 3-5 weeks a year on crutches. The plus sid is the crutches can give you a killer grip. Jut be careful the ankle is really susceptible after the initial sprain, and you can reinjure it doing nothing very easily in the year following the original injury. You met Gackt? COOL. BTW, check out my anime lists on my webpage. I've decided you'll be getting a good yearly care package from me. ^_^ Rank anime in the order of how badly you want it. I can also burn CD's so peruse that list too (again what you want most at the top). :P Also my club recently received a bevy of donations most of which are duplicates for us, so those might be sent along as donations to your club :) I'm still trying to hunt up that info for ya from our chat the other night. How are those breathing exercises working for you? OH and to fanficking... I really could use some waff or a really nice lemon wench from any of the series I love so much.

Heart-sib: I'm a fiend, when will you come to accept that and know I have my ways. *cackles* When I tell you something like that baka co-worker situation will improve, when are you going to believe me? I'm sneaky. God loves me. What more is there to say? ^_^ So are you and Jakob going to do something special for your birthday wench?



Tuesday: 3-20-01 ~ Midnight Visions

Well I have returned from the weekend road trip! I had fun visiting Heero and Usagi. There's something about their personalities that just relax you and all the stress melts away. I think it's because they are very mellow for the most part, and fun to be around.

The road-trip wasn't so much fun though. I-35 was udner construction for the majority of the way and it slowed down and added several hours of extra driving to the road-trip this weekend. My hip hurts from driving so long. (Yes I have a decrepit body.) *SIGHS*

Heart-sib and Snow: Thank you for the money. ^_^ You two spoil me. I'll catch you tomorrow nite sib.

Wednesday: 3-14-01 ~ din-din

I'm doing well despite having had only 3 hours of sleep because I was having to much fun chatting with my Clone-chan last night on AIM. Boy, am I tired no da. By the way, it was a great chat! It was wonderful to have finally been able to talk to you after such a long time.

Somehow, I dragged myself to my metals and jewelry class today. I got the grade back on the choker (much venting in regards to this in previous pita entries). It was an A. ^.^ na no da. For those who'd like to see that and my other metals works I finally got around to making a brief gallery. Anyway, this tired little WMC is off to bed na no da.

AH! Those of you who know me well will get a kick out of this. I come home from class to meet my roomie heading off for a nap, she tells me "Now the kool-aid I have in the fridge don't be having any weird fantasies or ideas or anything. It's not essence d'Chichiri."

*sniffs* She spoils ALL my fun.

Tuesday: 3-13-01 ~ way too late...

It's strange when I'm completely exhausted and yet completely unable to get a wink of sleep. It drives me batty. *SIGHS* It also leaves me thinking, and no what you smell burning is my roomate attempting to cook.

Mainly I'm thinking over a bit the paper I have to turn in tomorrow. I'm very uncomfortable with it. I'm thinking about the teacher conference I have set up. It's so rare when I need one. I'm struggling a bit in one of my classes and I think it's just that I don't understand fully what the teacher expects from me. In addition to this I'm also seriously contemplating several really screwed up situations right now. I have one friend in mourning over the loss of the last member of his family, my sister is in a messy divorce which is leaving severe scars on my nephew, there's a very wounded individual that has popped into my life, in addition to some things another firned of mine is going through. I've found my counseling skills to be constant companions the last few days. While although I am thankful I was divinely gifted with these gifts, it saddens me when they are needed. Buddhists say all life is suffering, and sadly it's so very true in the world in which we live. I'm thankful for the little reminders that I have been blessed with that always prove as an anchor to me in more depressing times. I only wish that those I'm trying to help now had that same sort of anchor. Ah, well I do the best I can with the cards dealt me.

I'm looking forward to traveling down to Austin this weekend. I have to see the finalized hotel and plan out Art Room details for Ushicon, which launches February 2002. It'll also be fun because I always love visiting my friends Heero and Usagi, and it's Usagi's birthday too! So if you try to reach me anytime Friday-Monday I'll be away!

Monday: 3-12-01 ~ wow past my bedtime...

Da... what a long weekend. I spent 5 hours long distance yesterday talking to my Heart-sib and our mutual friend Snow. It was fun but I didn't get off the phone till 5am my time, and my voice is so raw from the talking today. I slept till 4pm! BTW Heart-sib, I missed you tonite!

We had some spectacular Thunder Storms, the type that would really make you worry you'd incurred someone's wrath (Tamyris what have you done this time?). I swear the storms were making me get a buzz, flush, migraine, and nauseous all at the same time.

So instead of being able to play the night away in chat with friends. I couldn't get on for all the storming, and as a result worked on my homework. I had to read 4 Shakespeare plays and do assignments over them for class tomorrow: 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, Henry V, and Julius Caesar were tonite's torture devices. *UGH*

OF course, I couldn't type it up until *AFTER* the storms all cleared through, so here it is approaching 5am, and I have a morning class. *CRIES*.

No rest for the wicked I guess. Perhaps this is divine punishment for procrastination? hmmmm

Laurel-chan: *GLOMPS* Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how long I've wanted the first closing song of Kaitou St. Tail, and how I'd been dying to here Seki (chichiri's seiyuu's) title song of his new album "Naked Mind." YEAH no da!

Clone-chan: Well, I tend to be on at night, anywhere from around 10pm Central Standard Time until around 2am CST. I have no idea how that compares to time where you are @_@. BTW, I do like the new Niasierie layout, he's scrumptious. *wipes away drool* Hmm, what series is that lovely looking bishy from? Argh I want to know *NOW* what it is you want to tell me that involves "much glomping and squealing?" Must be very good news? Are you coming to the US to study or on a trip or something? Did the package you sent me show up? What? Aoshi showed up in your bed? If so, send him my way... I'm lonely. *sniffs*

Anyway, now that my homework is typed up it's time for me to sign off, take a shower, and go to bed.

Friday: 3-9-01 ~ way past dinner time

*gnaws on her keyboard*

I'm so hungry! I'm waiting for my parents toa rrive with food, I'm going home for the first time in a month. Only because I have errands to run. *SIGHS* I really don't have the time to go home and be nice to the parents. *UGH*

Instead of working on *ANY* of my homework today at work, I worked instead on updating my website. I added my new shitajiki. I also added scans to the manga section of my Arslan site. I updated all of my lists (which include Anime, Manga, and Wish lists). I also added two new sections for my Music Lists. This includes All of my Anime & J-Pop CD's, as well as a section for all of my other music. I'll need to update this again, because the music only reflects those CD's I have at my apartment. I have tons left in my bedroom at my parents house.

*da's softly* A WMC's work is never done. But meanwhile Laurel-chan go ahead and check it out.

Anyway I'm going to go a fic-reading and kill the time till my parents show. MAU.

*winces as she here's a chunk of the keyboard come off* I wonder if this will taste better with Soy sauce? hmmm...

Friday: 3-9-01 ~ WMC's bedtime na no da

Da, I have succumbed to my biggest temptation. Good looking bishounen with wings... espcially of the Seimaden variety. Laurelgand, Charlene, you have suckered me to your pages! I hope you feel happy na no da.

Clone-chan: UM, I realize the Phillipine's are not a bed of roses. Unlike most people, I do have some concept of... reality na no da. Miss you. Write me.

Heart-sib: Yes, you try my patience at times, but baka I love you irregardless of your torture. I'm not foolish enough not to realize what a great blessing you are and sent by Divine hands no da. So stop worrying you worry-wort. In the words of our mutual friend "MINE" and i guess that includes my brain too. (At least she doesn't claim my rather well-endowed breasts).

On a purely annoying note... my antithesis and nemesis, a particular bush that flowers around this time of year, is starting to bud... SOON despite being drugged up on antihistamine's I shall be sneezing so hard my ribs shall bruise and again the doctors will worry the sneezing will cause me to break ribs... ah joy... *gives the plants that are *ALL* over campus and right outside her front door the evil eye*

*drags Tasuki out of her kasa* Burn, baby, burn!!!!

Thursday: 3-8-01 ~ Amidst Queerness

I have finished my readings and my paper due in oh... 1 hour for my American Cultural Studies class. I'm frozen now between all this Queerness. Soon to discuss it in length for 3 hours. *falls over* I want my bed! *cries*

Although I had a thought... could the Hellenistic ideal that is portrayed in the book the Picture of Dorian Gray, really be an explanation into the appeal of Shouta fetishism?

I'm also amidst Queerness because I've noticed that Laurelchan and Charlene have linked me to their pita! *beams and bounces around the room happily da'ing from her sugar high induced by frozen orange creme flavored drink smoothie!*

*ahem*

I feel honored na no da. *blushes* Laurelchan I'm AIM illiterate.. how do I add a new contact? I tried earlier but when I went to input the alias it said I needed their full name too... I definitely want those MP3's. Thank you ever so much for your appreciation of my A & M fics... My A & M fics and my Gundam Wing fic get the least feedback, all my other fics get tons... but not those for some odd reason.

Charlene: You don't know about Seimaden and yet you drool at him on your site?! Shame on you! Anyway, check out these Seimaden Translations.

I guess I can blame Clone-chan for getting us all talking, ne?

Thursday: 3-8-01 ~ Time for Jareth and his Tights..

*snickers* I'm sorry, I have sexuality on my brain. Why? Well besides some nice fics, and my homework.

Made you do a double take didn't I no da? *nyerks*

Well I'm taking American Cultural Studies... and we've studied race and gender issues within the context of pop and historical culture. A couple weeks back we dissected Slash Fiction and Fandom, Romance Fiction, the magazine Hustler, etc. This week's topic : Queer Culture (specifically: lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-sexual, cross-dressing...) Well I think you get the idea. See what my money is going to pay for? Talk about a well-rounded education *snickers*

Wednesday: 3-7-01 ~ Spring Cleaning

Nothing like a squeaky new page that makes you itch to write all over it. *BEAMS* I think I *FINALLY* figured out what I'm getting, or rather making, several of my friends for their birthdays... since they read this I'm not saying much, except it's anime/manga related and is functional, and somehow strangely fitting for my bibliophile friends. All with shouta complexes (especially of the Clamp Campus Detective Variety). Then again... they want the boys when they're adults. For now they just think they're cute and huggably soft. *snickers* Watch those straying hands girls... *snickers*

Clone-chan: Spiffy new layout wench. The colors and images don't match up perfectly though... and you really need to learn to make tables with a bit of a margin. Drives me crazy to see the letters right against the edge. I always think it's cut-off midword or something. OH and ignore your parents... my parents did the same thing "we trust you" "we just don't trust the people you're with" *sweatdrops* I tell you 4 years at college living in the dorms... broke them of many of their clingy habits. It also helped my sister's life could be made into a soap-opera and my parents thank God that I have my head on my shoulders too... hmmm.

Heart-sib: MWAHAHAHAHAHA... How goes the cigarette withdrawal? *snickers and ducks* You know... was it your intention to start for Lent... or did it just turn out that way?
