Okay, now this is just 20 seconds of absolute awesome/adorableness.

| 10 days until Race Day |
[03 Jul 2008|10:49pm] |
Yesterday, I ran a mile in 10:10. Tonight, I ran a mile in 11:10. This weekend, I should do a brick. Just need to grab my brother's bike lock from my mom's tomorrow.
Hotel is reserved in Waukegan. Need to go through my checklist and make sure I've got everything.
Dear god, the world is about to end.

On this day in 2007, I was squeeing about Catherine Tate joining the cast of Doctor Who. Of course, back then I didn't know just how much I'd adore having Donna has a fulltime companion.
On this day in 2006, I was ranting about Shoney's (some things never change, huh?) as well as talking about the earlier version of the Serenity script.
On this day in 2005, I didn't post. Judging by my posts on the days before and after it, I'm guessing it was because my schedule at Shoney's was kicking my ass.
On this day in 2004, I posted a very long BtVS/AtS Meme/Questionaire. And, wow, my answers have definitely changed somewhat in the four years since then. *pause* Maybe I should redo it at some point?
On this day in 2003, I created two new fanlistings. Which reminds me, I haven't even looked at any of the ones I run in... over a year. Oops?
One this day in 2002, I had already created my journal in order to lurk in communities, but I wouldn't start posting in it until November.

It's nice I'm getting back into obsessive-compulsive LJ'ing right before I head off to Europe for two weeks. We fly out tomorrow and stay in Slough, then go from there to London. We stay there until the 10th (I think) then take the Chunnel to Paris and stay there for three days then go back to London to chill until we fly back on the... 17th I think. So I'll be incommunicado for awhile. Will have DS though so if I can figure out how to use the wireless thingy I will perhaps see you via Pkmn. If the damn game will ever give me my friend code.
Speaking of, caught a Starly which I have named Clarice because I'm a dork. Have the Mareep stopped screaming, Clarice? *is shot*
Man I would send postcards or something but I don't think I have anyone's address. :/ Pretty sure I got Cat's. Oh well maybe I'll have a chance to check while I'm in Europe. Leave an address if you want a postcard!
Went to see Hancock with Catlynn, Jason Bateman KICKS ASS but otherwise wasn't really a great movie. Funny to see JB and Charlize Theron together again though. XD; Then we stopped by Borders and just on a lark I searched 'metal gear solid' in their store computers... and came out with the MGS2:SOL graphic novel and the MGS1 novelisation. The former is actually really cool: it weaves together the two parts of the games and tells the story but still makes it seem fresh and fun. The latter, well... it's hilarious. It's like a James Bond novelisation (not novel, novelisation - the novels kickass, the isations... not so much), except Solid Snake isn't really James Bondish. In a way, yeah, but... well, there's one part where they're describing how Snake and Liquid look so similar, and they say "he had a strong, cruel mouth that women found irresistible." And... that's not really how I'd describe Snake. I mean, yeah, he's irresistable, but that's not the point. They keep describing Otacon as tall, which is weird. He's not short, but he's about the same height as Snake. He's not giant or anything.
( BLAH BLAH BLAH )
OKAY I'M DONE NOW but I'll give the book an actual read-through (I just went through and looked for my favourite parts XD) on the plane AND TAKE NOTES. Because, uh... it's an 8-hour flight. If we're lucky.

[03 Jul 2008|04:22pm] |
This is the kind of thing that makes me embarrassed to be an American. You'll note it's being reported in the foreign press. My local paper puts pro sports scores on the front page; international news and real issues barely exist.

In the anime world, Toshokan Sensou is winding down, although a second season is planned for October. Here's the Japan Library Association statement that was the inspiration for the original novels.
JLA Statement of Intellectual Freedom in Libraries
Thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tbll57 for the Brit news, and to haya5h1 for the link to the JLA's English translation!

I got my acceptance letter today from Iwate in the mail! It was pretty much full of LOLs, though - I was thinking it'd come with some kind of information like start dates & stuff like that, but nope. It was the exact same thing we received through email a couple of weeks ago. Well, at least I can get my visa now!
Maybe if I play with the Iwate website, I'll find some dates. (I'm particularly concerned with when we get out - I need to know for airplane ticket buying! Sadly, I don't think the website has been updated since 2006... Wish me luck!
つか、
お誕生日おめでとうございます

| Wands - Epilogue: Court of Wands |
[04 Jul 2008|12:10am] |
Title: Wands (Complete)
Chapter: Epilogue - Court of Wands
Author: Aeneus
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Sanzo/Hakkai
Summary: Cho Gonou enters Sanzo's life, turning it upside down. Sanzo needs to cope with the aftermath.
Word count: 2081
Beta: car_jack
Disclaimer: All of these characters belong to Kazuya Minekura. This is written purely for my own entertainment and hopefully that of others.
A/N: The Court cards usual indicate people of importance/influence to the querant. But seeing as there are not enough people in Saiyuki to go around for all the Court cards, I also had to fall back on the general meanings associated with the Court cards. For the Wands, the Page is represented by Goku, the Knight is represented by a long, far-way trip, the Queen is represented by Kanzeon and the King is represented by Hazel.

I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to frayen! I hope you have a wonderful day, hun *snuggles*!
I've bought a new course for learning French, it's designed for when you are driving so it's all audio. The presenter has an affected American accent which is annoying and I'm struggling to think when I would slip "Is it a big truck?" into everyday conversation, but I'm really enjoying it ^_^!
Kitty photos are still on the camera *fails*!

I've put up with a lot but guess what.... This is the end.
You laugh in m face and act like your the shit and you hardly help out in the house, you eat what I buy and help yourself to the internet that I pay for. You get the medical care I NEVER got and you remain in this house even though you lie to get what you want and don't pay the rent. Your money is your money....thats fine. Guess what....so is mine.
I got kicked out of the house for doing what your doing except I had every intention of paying the rent... unlike you.
I've said my piece and if you can read this then you finally figured out how to get back on the internet. If you have, it won't be long before I delete your AOL account. So if you want these perks its about high time you do your share of the work around here.
That means:
*Cleaning the house
*keeping our bedroom clean
*Helping with laundry
*Paying your rent
Sincerely,
Fed Up With Your Shit

Just a story i did last year under gerigirl_68 my first time post please be nice i'm triing to come out of my shell sorta, anyway c&c appreciated and any helpful hints at making better stories is always welcome hopefully yall will like it.
Goku and humora(the devil god) had a date to fight it out over who gets sanzo,
of course goku feared he couldn't lose his sun to some maniac who called himself the devil god considering he,himself is the great sage equal to heaven and earth.
So let the fight begin as they traded blow for blow goku had the lead until humora
started fighting dirty and now goku was losing his lead but with sanzo urging him on he got his lead back quite fast for his sun needed him to win at any cost.
Sanzo didn't want to go anywhere with that nut case humora he'd be dammed first before he'd allow another to try and use him in any shape or fashion.
The only one allowed to do that was goku and they had yet to get to first round before they were rudely interrupted by this dammed awful god (who called himself the devil,when in actuality it was humora being an asshole as always).
So the fight continues who will win when it comes to sanzo's virtue and being with him goku or humora (the dvil himself).
so this is a story i came up with while sitting in front of my computer last year ok so tell me what you writer's think of it remember this is a first time for me posting anything serious. so go easy on me will ya?

I just saw this amazing movie last night: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. It's not unlike Sweeney Todd, only minus the singing. And the movie was set in France, not England. But oh the whole artistic sense of it! The costumes! The acting! The choreography! Okay, I admit the movie is somewhat disturbing in some parts, and definitely not something you should watch with family members due to the -er- sensitive nature. But you just *have* to watch it. Meanwhile I found out that the UBD library has a copy of the English version of the novel the movie was based on, and I'm so borrowing that.
With that been said,
Happy Birthday Pchan!!
We had a steamboat brunch at TT's Blues Cafe(?), then watched Hancock (6/10) at The Mall. :3 We also went window shopping (mainly them), posed for crazy pictures (mainly me) and then went home (her dad's driver picked us up whooo). The people who came were mostly her friends from UK but it was alright. Naqib was there, at least. =p [For future reference, I must remember that Pchan tried to poison/threaten me with petai]
