I tried to study for Pre-Calculus and History. I really did. I even took out all the P-calc notes with all the intention to study.

But I went RO-ing and Itachi-hunting instead.

Itachi is still hard to draw.

While Itachi-hunting, I came across a picture of Iruka, with the captions of
"イルカ先生、(永遠の)25歳・おめでとう☆"
Iruka-sensei, congratulations on being (forever) 25.
(heart).

Ahh. I was somewhat inspired to write a Naruto fanfic...currently trying to make my plots ideas connect...

Amy went to FanimeCon 2004 today, and called me at 11:30-ish...waking me up, asking if she could buy anything for me ^^

OOh. Itachi's birthday is in 10 days: on the 9th.

Alright! I will wake up around early [09:00] and study tomorrow!! NO RO-ing! NO fanfic-reading and drawing and fanart-hunting either! [okay, so maybe just a little...]



「貴様(きさま)など、殺(ころ)す価値(かち)も無(な)い。愚(おろ)かなる弟(おとうと)よ…この俺(おれ)を殺(ころ)したくば、恨(うらめ)め…憎(にく)め…そして醜(みにく)く生(い)き延(の)びるがいい。逃(に)げて逃(に)げて…生(せい)にしがみつくがいい。」?うちは イタチ : NARUTO

'You're not even worth killing...Foolish little brother. If you want to kill me, hate me, detest me. And survive in an unsightly way. Run, run, and cling onto life.' - Uchiha, Itachi : Naruto :: I love this quote...the infamous Itachi quote...

Music: Viva Rock - Orange Range//Naruto : 3rd ending :: this is the weirdest song =oO;;=

As of 00:43, it took me almost 1.5 hours, including the quote, translations, etc, to type this entry out. And I just downloaded the full version of the fifth ending, Ima Made Nando Mo from NarutoFan. As for the quote, I replayed that part of episode 85 [time: 10:14] at least 15 times to listen to what Itachi was saying in Japanese, but finally went online to look it up =oO;;= I'm proud though, because I only got a few syllables wrong =D

Then when I tried to publish, the Japanese part of the quote turned out in all bold, and it was only then that I realized that I put the bold tags all wrong, so I had to reverse all of them...what a pain.

Hmm. English final was hard. Most of us didn't have enough time to write the 4+ paragraphs, and I didn't know half of the definitions for the vocab part. Physics, by comparison, was much easier. We got an open-note test, afterall.

After so many months of waiting, I finally got the last book of Hakushaku Cain [Count Cain]! (sniff) I love Cain and Riff! [Wait, is Riff his first name or is Ralph his first name? oO;;;]

I also read the two extras for Full Metal Alchemist...which was...hillarious.

Ah, I finally got around to reading Eyeshield 21. It's a football manga, but it's not that bad at all. Hiru is funny: he's got various guns he use to threaten [and shoot] people with. He's smart too. Evil though. Veeery evil. >)

Itachi is so hard to draw.

I'm trying to do all the senior's 'yearbook entries' first, since the others I can always delay them until after summer vacation the last day of school, when the seniors can't technically be on school campus anymore...

Went to Kincaid's yesterday for dinner. The food is okay compare to what I eat at home [Yes, I'm very picky on my food =D] The crab cake and Strawberry ice cream pie-thing was worth mentioning though. OOh, especially the pie-thing. It was great. The down side is, it costed us around $35 each, so we spent $110 dining there for 3. =oO;;=

EDIT 17:59: Thanks, Amy for tell me that it's the wrong date; I must've set my timed posting wrong. It's fixed.

Also, please direct your attention to the right side of this window and you'll notice that tagboard has decided to start working again! With some strange coding and missing posts, but it's all well. Thank you for your cooperation.

"I stayed up late celebrating Iruka's birthday by watching a Naruto special that doesn't have Iruka-sensei in it."

Ugh. But the special was lame. Too much emotion on Sasuke's part, and I guessed the ending half way through the special. Not to mention badly drawn characters, especially Kakashi. But then again, I have always disliked the anime Kakashi a bit. The plot is horrible, in comparison to the main storyline, and the fact that I completely guessed the ending. Even I could've been more creative than the ones comming up with the story. Waaay too much emotion, sasuke has in the Special...

And it doesn't make sense. Considering how short Sakura's hair is, it must take place after the Chuunin Shiken [Examination], and that means Sasuke could've used Chidori. And no, I don't think the 'hero water''s effects are so short termed. For Kishimoto's sake, they said the Waterfall villages use the water to fight through a war!

Bleh, so except gaining a few concepts on the Takigakure no Sato [Hidden Village of Waterfall] and a some potential fanfic/fanart material. It's not really worth watching.

So to make myself feel better: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOLPHIN! (heart) ^^
(sings) Gotta love the dolphin-man, Lalala...
Happy Birthday, Iruka-sensei. It's May 26th, birthday of our favorite dolphin! XD

[then there's the 20th of Amy, whom I keep forgetting to mention when I blog or see her...Great friend I am o_O;;]

The slideshow I made for the English project on The House of Seven Gables turned out okay, I guess...I'm a bit bitter about my English teacher playing a little favoritism in grading and his not explaining why points were taken off.

Your comment box thingy for your blog hasn't been working for a while.. is it just me? Or is it actually down?
Posted 5/24/2004 at 11:28 PM by NeonCloud

yeah, it's dead. ��; if I wait a while, it might magically come back to life. It really depends if tagboard.ca decides to fix itself sometime soon. Well, if it's still down by the time I ready another layout for Kakeru, then bye bye Tagboard.ca and time to hunt for another tagboard =)

And Jeff here just decides to FAKE a counter...without realizing that the barcode is different, LoL. Go look at his comments on yesterday's post for the picture.

So let's see how much homework I got done: English.

Didn't review for Physics, didn't make my notecard for Pre-Calculus test, didn't memorize the script for my Japanese project, didn't find the pants that I'm supposed to wear tomorrow for the Japanese project, didn't read for History.

Great.

Although I am particulary proud of finishing The House of Seven Gables before reading the Analysises online, and that one of the 6 slides for the English projects turned out quite handsomely. I might use that for a splash page somewhere, even.

I can't believe that stupid book only developed plots on the LAST HALF OF THE BOOK! GARH!

Anyways. Busy doing-homework-during-the-period-before day tomorrow.

Naruto Rant Warning.

Saw ep 84. Poor Sasuke ;_; It's really interesting how Sasuke normally has this tough guy look but once he's beaten then he looks really vulnerable. Naruto just masks everything up with with his stupid smile; Sakura blows her steam off from 'Inner Sakura'; Kakashi hides everything behind his mask, I presume; and Iruka is just too forgiving and nice oO;;

As the slow idiot that I am, I just discovered many new Blogger options. Yes, that includes commenting option and 'previous posts' options. I won't be around enough to integrate all those new options into the current layout until June 3rd, when school's out, but watch out for a some new options on this blog soon!

And you'd think it's time to make a new layout because of all these options. Very well. I was thinking of making a huge renovation on this layout because I spent so much time and heart into it, but I guess 7 months is long enough of a time to keep one layout. I'll see after Sancta.

On another note, I made a new blog, naming it the same as my Xanga: Achromatic Alcoholism; strangely and irrelevantly it's probably going to mainly feature anime news.
It's always the little things that makes me post.

Anyways, the official trailer for FFVII Advent Children is out�the trailer and about half the site is in English. The trailer is a bit different from the other ones too. Waaai--look at the awsome power of Flash!! (amuses herself with the spinning character menu) It's going to be on sale sometime this year so buy me one, okay? [Although the price/release date is not set yet]

Well, well. Just for the oblivious ones, there's a commenting funtion in this blog, and it's at the end of each post. And I do sprinkle revelant links in my blog, i.e. the words 'official trailer for FFVII Advent Children' up there is actually a link. Hover your mouse and you'll see.

(Slaps forehead) There's something wrong with my cat and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with its hormones. Last night it just started meowing, barking, and screeching at the top of its voice, and still hasn't gotten out of its 'loud phase' yet. It's crazy. We even let it out in our yard, but apparently the meowing wasn't for going out because it's roaming around our yard meowing insanely loud as I type. oO;; A screeching cat at five-am is not exactly plesant if you usually wake up at 7. Ugh. What's wrong with it?! That's it. I'm going to neuter it somewhere soon! ><;;

Ah. Aren't eventful days delightful? At least it gives one something to blog about. Three things so far today:
1| CSM finally processed my Summer semester application, but I have to wait until May 27th to register my classes.
2| Tomozaku Seki is going to be a guest in AnimeExpo 2004! Too bad I won't be going, but he's really an amazing voice actor. Ineed he's strange and even was a Power Ranger, but nonetheless.
3| A 2k4 SAT prep course over the summer, from 0614-0618, $180 for GATE students. I guess if there's more than 15 who signs up, then my pure-do-nothing 2 weeks of summer will be cut in half =oO;;=

Tomozaku Seki is really amazing. Voicing from the hyper Shindou Shuuichi [Gravitation], to the split personality Chichiri [Fushigi Yuugi], to Ken [Wei?Kreuz], to Kenji [pokemon, dub name Tracy], to our favorite kitty Souma Kyou [Fruit Basket], to Kinomoto Touya [Card Captor Sakura], to Sagara Sousuke [Full Metal Panic], to Van [Escaflowne], to Shinbo Hiroshi [Chobits], to the announcer and Mermaid [Doraemon], to Shirou Kamui [X/1999], honestly he has voiced practially all genres of anime. Not to mention being Hiwatari Satoshi in the D.N.Angel drama CD....and his yummy voice...

Oh, by the way, he was also villager 2 in episode 11 of Magic Knight Rayearth. ^^;;
