I would like to say...

THANK YOU

to all who had wished me a happy birthday! GAAAAH. I never thought that so many of you would remember, or even KNOW about it. *Sniffles* I'm glad to have you all as my friends (and family- sister, brother, son too *yesh, got all the messages*) and I dare say more of you wished me a good day than my real life friends had. Thank you... thank you thank you thank you.

I know there are many of those I need to thank who do not even read this journal and I'm just saddened that I couldn't thank them properly.

I had a wonderful day that day. A got a chance to roleplay one of my most classical and favorite characters... and in Hell too! *laughs* I hate to sound cliche... but I never thought he'd be meeting Lucifer as well. No, it's not my character Seph, and Lucifer's not his lover, but it was fun anyway considering the anxiety involved.

Dinner was at a all you can eat Japanese restaurant where they make REAL tempura with sprinkled batter and not that completely soak it in junk. Fresh sashimi and all.... I rolled home as a ball. I haven't overeaten like that in such a long while. *Happiness*

Again, thanks to all who wished me well that day.... I'm really touched.... I can't express how touched I was. And for the gifts too, like my character's image song which I couldn't find anywhere, and then there's someone who took a picture of a birthday note they wrote for me.... *sniffles again* Gah, I'm rambling. Again, THANKS ALL!!!

Gaaah, been a while since I've updated here. I guess I've been too busy on my other journal lately.

Anyway, came back here because I think only this journal is suitable for what I found out... and that is, I just got the shock of my life. Earlier, around a few months ago...( Serious GetBackers spoilers warning. )

Add to it that this will be the last arc for the manga makes me really frustrated over not getting the books yet. So close! I wonder if the next artbook will be coming out soon. *Contemplates*

... THANK YOU MY DEAR IMOUCHAN!!! *hugs the chocolates* Wow... I can't believe how touched I feel for merely receiving chocolates. *Sniffs and saves the gift onto his computer* Wow... Sankyu sankyu sankyu!

Gah, some random ramblings. No one really wants to know what I've been up to anyway, more like I'm writing here because I haven't in a while.

Lately, been burying myself into anime to not pay attention much to the real world. Within the last few days, I've finished Trinity Blood (that ending seriously sucked), Meitantei Loki Ragnarok (interesting series, too bad the manga's not scanlated), Tactics (I thought it was similar to Yami no Matsuei, I didn't think it was similar to the degree that it's shonen ai *sweatdrops*), and Black Cat (..... I can't believe I survived through it. It was weird). Working on Haruka 8 now. I think after watching the copy cat anime known as Black Cat (you could tell that it was influenced by Conan and GetBackers *Akabane's in there for goodness sake!*, at the very least, if not more) Haruka 8 isn't that bad. I'm amusing myself by finding the similarities between Fushigi Yuugi, and there are tons.

Also, oi oi... when I go all out to buy something, I really do. Went walking in an anime store yesterday and ended up buying:
-Detective Conan Movie 8 DVD
-Some other Detective Conan DVD
-Detective Conan wallscroll (Conan + Kid from movie 8)
-Detective Conan movie 8 official pin (why do pins have to be so expensive?)
-Spirited Away keychains (a Susuwatari and a No Face)
-My Neighbor Totoro keychain (Chu- and Chibi- Totoro together)
-Saishu Heiki Kanojo DVD
-Haruka 8 DVDs (That's why I'm watching it right now. Fushigi Yuugi ripoff! But the action and art are alright.)
-Some random movie called Art Heist (I bought it for the name.)

I was this -->||<-- close to buying a pair of gloves that had the Shinra logo on it. But it's not worth spending 15 bucks on a pair of fake merchandise with only iron on logos. Nearly spent 25 bucks more to get myself a Yoshi plushie too (YOSHI! Classic Mario man!) but what am I supposed to do with one? Then again... besides the scroll that is already hanging on my wall and the Haruka 8 that I'm already watching, I really don't know what to do with any of the above.

That's about it on my randomness. Happy New Years to everyone.

This little thing brought a real smile to my lips. In fact, I think I couldn't stop laughing when I opened my presents and discovered it.

I believe it is one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. Thanks Vel for getting it for me.

Oi, perhaps I'm just old fashioned, but I can't get used to this new update interface. I think it'll take some time to settle in with me, though I do think it's actually more useful than the old one.

Anyway... randomness. Got myself a pair of Cloud's earrings (before you ask, of course they're clipped on!) although I do not foresee myself cosplaying him anytime soon. Now Sephiroth on the other hand... It was one of those impulsive moments that "I see, I want, I get." Not very logical of me to buy my first pair of earrings this way, not to mention the dent it makes in my wallet. Then again, I never expected I would be buying earrings to begin with.

Most interesting... so, anyone of 9th, 18th, 27th around? *wiggles eyebrows at the ladies*

Your Birthdate: April 18

For you, love is a feeling that lingers for really long time - even after a relationship is totally over. In fact, you still make have strong feelings for the first person you fell in love with. You usually are reluctant to end relationships. And sometimes you're the last to know that things are ending! Number of True Loves You'll Have: 4 Number of Times You'll Have Your Heart Broken: 1 You are most compatible with people born on the 9th, 18th, and 27th of the month.

Caffeine highs are horrible things. No, they're great, but coming down from them are depressing. I think it's a mix of insufficient sleep and coming down from a coffee flavored milk high from 12 hours ago.

In other words, I'm feeling rather depressed. I wonder if it's stress related.

Anyone feeling like giving me a hug? I miss my friends... and half of them are missing.

Who thought I was a cuddler?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AKABANE-SAN!!! Now I feel bad for having drawn a Kid fanart last night rather than one for the transporter. Ah wells... I'm sure he's not that petty.... *looks warily at extended scalpels and coughs*

And a happy birthday to my father too. *Grins* So easy to remember the two men's Bday.

Bah, in this excitement, nearly forgot: HAPPY GOBBLE GOBBLE DAY TOO!

Oi... Things have been bothering me lately, but I have no energy to write about them. *headdesk* I'm also blaming myself again although the situation's not in my control.

It just rained today, yesterday, and probably would again tomorrow. Why are they sprinkling the lawns? *stares out the window*

Ah, the little bits of trivia you miss when you try watching anime 5 am in the morning.

I can't believe it, in movie 10, I completely missed who Kid was disguised as. I faced him nearly throughout the half the movie and I hadn't even realized it. Even with all the clues they dropped.... I think that's an indication that I should -never- try watching anime that requires -thinking- that late (early?) in the morning.

On another note... this got a few chuckles out of me. Since I'm trying to freshen up on my Conan knowledge, decided to rewatch a few of the movies I had wanted to watch before (call it procrastination). I can't believe I missed this: At the start of the movie, Conan was making a telephone call to Ran. This he did at a phone booth in front of a cafe... and here's the interesting part. The place is called "Beika Coffee" located on 221B of Beika (Street?). Now that got a few chuckles out of me.

You're no-nonsense, to the point, working all the time, looking to die an early death in a bathroom somewhere when your body finally gives out. Way to go.

Scarily, does anyone think this is true for me?

Gaaah. Had a rather nice lunch today with my mother at a little restaurant in a tourist attraction area. We ordered a serving of neat crab cakes and enjoyed it half way through when my mother suddenly brought up a news article that mentioned something about botulism bacteria having been found in one brand of imported crab meats. I tried to spend the rest of the lunch reassuring her everything's fine, then subsequently spent the rest of tonight secretly worrying about whether I'm going to paralyze. As if I didn't have enough real life stress added on already. *sweatdrops*

Probably not one in a billion chance, and my mother even forgot all about it already, but one conversation with my mother could do that to anybody.

I swear, my mother loves frightening people. I think I took after her. I hereby now apologize to all my friends if I unintentionally use her methods on any of you.

Halloween is such a great time. I personally think it's the niftiest holiday of the whole year.

Today, I ended up getting myself that Sephiroth wig I was eyeing along with a passable traveling cloak. Think Lord of the Rings style. I don't know when I'm going to use it, but I'd say it's good for any re-enactment event, if I'm ever interested in one.

Oh, completely unrelated to Halloween, but another merchandise I got- I FINALLY GOT THAT NORRINGTON FIGURINE!!! It's small though. Really small. 3 inches? But it's the only one out in the market, so I got it anyway.

You know, I never knew Kid and Shinichi had the same seiyuu. I knew that they supposedly looked and sounded similar, but I wasn't aware that the same guy played both their voices behind the screen.

And with that little bit of no-braindedness (I think I invented a new description) it's time for me to retire for the night.
