( Click here to see the conditions that I have when it comes to friending you ;P )
It's best to click on my LJ profile to get a jest about who I am and my interests to know what my fandoms are ;)

In the car. The radio leaves me searching for your ☆. <3


Yeah, I'll catch up with you girls after I do a handful of chores. And, as from now, majority of my entries will be filtered private/friends only. Click here if you want to be added & the conditions about friending me because I've been getting weird adds lately & I just think it's disrespectful when people don't introduce themselves first.

...to Callie!! <3

You're 18 & legal & still gay! <3 LOL

...to fakeshake3 who's been hiding! <33

...to my Aunt who lives next door!

*scoots back to do assignment before relatives disturb her*

in search: study buddy tomorrow
where: the green house
ways of persuasion: left over chinese food (since you love china)
second way of persuasion: chocolate ice-cream cake
third way of persuasion: me - because i'm awesome.

-- I'm so lame. I'm laughing @ my own comment on my friend's FB page. It's so vain. I live in a green house & I'm awesome. Yes, I am. HAHA.

I think I'm just making an excuse to catch up with somebody in my lonely house and because I don't really want to study. So yes. It's better if no one comes. I should stop sending stupid invites if I really want to get some studying done.

Lameness is the way to go ;)

[and why the heck am I updating so frequently these days? am I high or something?]

I don't want to ever grow up, but I think I am.

Then again, perhaps I grew up a long time ago?

I wish I could be Peter Pan forever.

Haha.

When I got a PM from akira_ii saying that she made me fanart for PPZ I was gobsmacked (yeah, I hardly/don't ever use that word). Even though I retired from writing fanfiction about less than two years ago, it kind of surprised me that people still read my stories. I created stringless_kite & my new FP account to get away from bad habits that I had grew accustomed to on my FF days to try and get rid of some of my cringe-worthy stories. Though, FF does rouse back in my life every now and again because I wrote on that site for most of my teenage years. I admit that I even once felt and sometimes feel ashamed of my FF past. I just feel really nostalgic whenever I think of FF these days.

Even with my non-existent writing lately, I feel like slipping back into my old shoes and going back to writing what I used to feel comfortable writing. I could do that, but I know that I won't develop with my style if I do. I think I took FF for granted because I'd chunk words & my thoughts together without proofreading and uploading it onto the site. I don't even know why people read my stories despite how, most of the time, my writing did not flow. Though, I don't think I could ever let go one of my old fics. Despite being "writing dry", I keep thinking about MFV. I wrote so much back in those days. My grammar was hideous, my descriptions were terrible and my plots were a bit off the norm.

After not really hearing a word from FF for a couple of years, besides the once-in-a-while review, I get my first fanart. I just felt really touched when I saw it. I felt like bursting into tears because it reminded me of my youth, I dont know? (Yeah, I feel really old right now). The way akira_ii interpreted everything in the fanart was related and spot on -- which then, of course, made me curious to see how I wrote the story (and then I flinched again at all the mistakes). I was thinking about rewriting it as an original story, but I don't think I will anymore. It belongs in the Digimon fandom. Maybe MFV can be pulled off, but not PPZ.

The newspaper clippings, the camera, the bball jersey, the kissing scene -- guh. It matched. I know, I'm getting all sappy because it's the first fanart that someone's ever done for me...but I just feel really sappy right now & thankful that it's still appreciated even though it's not up to scratch as it should/could have been.

So yes, akira_ii. I'd like to thank you for doing this for me. I know it would have taken you a lot of effort & time b/c I get a jest how art does take time. Thank you so much & if I edit/rewrite PPZ, I'll make sure to make TK's jersey number '11' just for you. =)

Jane: Would you say sleeping with the guitar in your hands is practicing?
Trent: As long as you don't drop it. =)



Happy Birthday, dear! You're absolutely amazing. When I'm bitching, emo-ing it up or just acting stupid on LJ, you've always been here for me through my ups and downs. I can't believe I missed you @ Brisbane Soundwaves! Although we may be from different states, have different cultures & just live differently in general -- I find that we're somewhat similar to me and we relate to each other. <3 You're a very dedicated writer and I want you to continue writing because I know that you will get somewhere one day. I love you & Andrew McMahon loves you ;)

Stumbled across this. The bookmark was favourited a while ago. There seems to be a lot of comic based movies coming out. There are already a couple that have been made. It's quite interesting. Yeah, I only found this site because I had been looking for new Cowboy Bebop Movie information.

It's been a while (again). I'll be posting a proper update some time soon, but I just want to post this entry before I post anything up. titchthetwin is helping out with organising Melbourne's Manifest this year. It'll be held at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds. I've been putting it off for many years and now I think that she's finally convinced me to go. I feel like such a geek ;P



Manifest link: www.manifest.org.au

Not dressing up this year, but if I am impressed this year I'll dress up as one of these guys (HEH) for 2010 ;P.

I'm not really into anime lately, but I plan to go for the jdramas and the culture (food). Haha. I'm planning on dragging the girls with me because I want to laugh at how lost they're going to be. Who else wants to come? dumblydore, are you going this year? Vanessa? *hint hint* =P

This sounds like sleep paralysis. It happens every night, but most people are asleep and unconscious for it. Your muscles freeze so that you do not act out your dreams physically. Your body should come out of it before you wake up, but unfortunately sometimes it's not quick enough.

When you try to move your hands, your brain recognizes you've awoken and releases you from that state. I would bet that you can't breathe more out of anxiety and shock than anything else. Don't worry, it's totally natural and nothing dangerous about it. Of course, if you're truly worried, nothing wrong with checking with your doctor.

I had that last night. I think I've had it a couple of times in my lifetime, but last night it happened about four times. It was kinda freaky because I couldn't breathe -- but it's one of the normal symptoms with sleep paralysis.

I usually sleep on my side, so sleeping in my back contributed to it (which can cause it. others include stress, sleep deprivation & more...). It's not really comforting that I wiki-d it & most of the cultures associate sleep paralysis with having a demon/ghost/dead body sitting on you or your being cursed. Somehow, it was trippy & funny because before I couldn't breathe I already was aware that it had to with REM sleep. I tried to sleep again, but then I woke up not being able to mood & the feeling that I couldn't breathe.

I'll leave that there because I'm repeating myself. It's been a while since I've been on LJ. I've caught up with most of you. Took about 3 hours during lecture time -_-" Couldn't really concentrate today. Gotta wash the dishes now.

xoxo

Yes, I am alive...just barely.

Happy Birthday to athenaphrodite! <3

I haven't really been properly online lately because my computer is lagging like crazy since I'm capped. Will catch up! (staticcflicker's probably way ahead of me with FMA by now).

I'm going back to uni tomorrow. This semester will be busy (wish me luck!) because my timetable is scheduled for 5 days a week. It'll be like I'm in HS all over again. Sigh. I already am feeling stressed.

Going to see Manchester Orchestra tomorrow evening. I only know 'I Can Feel A Hot One' and a bit of 'My Friend Marcus' (got addicted to that song b/c of it's awesome title). onnoonno_07's shouting me since my bank account is anorexic. Steph, when my bank account gains some weight I'll pay you back. =) Kinda wonky that the gig is on a Monday.

I looked @ my previous entries just then and sometimes they don't feel like 'me'...so I'll try and make them more like me. That doesn't make sense. Well, they are 'me' based on my moods that are constantly changing. So yes. I'll try and stay more like me? HAHA.

This is what happens when you know you have to go back to school. Your head intentionally turns to jelly.

Finished watching Tatta Hitotsu no Ko. I think it's one of my favourites even though it was pretty cliched. The ending was SUPER cliched, but overall I enjoyed it. It's so sappy - in a good way.

I msgd Vanessa a picture when they're about to kiss. The girl is closing her eyes and every time Hiroto (Kame) comes closer to kiss her, he bursts out laughing. So cute =) I don't think they even ended up kissing in that scene at all.

( I love these quotes. They made me laugh )
*Phone rings*
K: My sweet honey, Y. (takes call)
H's brother: H! Phone. From N.
*H leaves*
A: Why everyone? I'm so lonely. I'm gonna call myself.

--- It sorta reminds me of moshmosh & Christine back in the days. Steph didn't call as much though. Haha. I don't relate to the lonely part..more how all of them would always be on the phone with their ex/bfs and I'd read a book or do something to keep me occupied.

A: I'm a "nice person" Just a nice person. Open 24 hours (for advice). We are the same, Mr. Convenience store, lets work hard!
