Ah, it's a nice cool morning this morning... Now, if I wasn't trying to snort myself silly because of my allergies, I'd be a HELL of a lot better! ::grumbles:: But I'm not going to let it get to me today! I actually got my work complimented on this morning, no changes needed to be made! That's the FIRST time that's happened to me since I've started to work there! Who knows, maybe things are getting better for me, ne? I'm actually starting to enjoy my job!

Oooh, I saw the BEST movie this morning on TV! I wish I could have seen the whole thing! It was called "Alegria" and it featured the performers of the Cirque du Soleil! Oh my gosh!!! I haven't been that swept away by a movie in a long time!!! It featured Frank Langella and even a cameo by Whoopie Goldberg, but if you don't pay attention to the clowns, you won't see her. Ooh, and do give you an idea of the rating scale for movies, my friend Nick and I came up with this scale, mind you this is based on our opinions. This goes from worst there is to best there is.

Amerian Beauty Bad (absolute worst a movie can be)
Really Bad
Bad
Sorta Bad
Average
Sorta Good
Good
Really Good
Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness Good (absolute best a movie can be)


I give Alegria the Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness Good!!! There are very few films I ever award that too, the first two being Labyrinth and of course, Lord of the Rings. But I am seriously going to watch this one again and maybe even get the soundtrack, the music is to die for!! Find this movie minnasan, it's a must!

Took some more quizzes, thought I'd post a couple more for all your enjoyment! The first one is to find out what Emoticon I am!

:,)

According to the SelectSmart.com Emoticon Selector, my #1 match today is Crying with happiness.

::LAUGHS:: Well hell yah, I'm generally so happy and laugh so hard that I bring tears to my eyes, so that could fit! But then again, I'm also really dark and twisted with my sense of humor, so I guess in that case it would be a matter of opinion, ne? The second quiz being posted for today is what kind of anime girl I am.




Cutest little dragon master.

Find out what anime girl you are.


Okay, this seems a little weird to me, 'cuz I can sorta see myself as Kurai, but she's a bit too cute hentai for me. ::laughs:: But then again I am a bit of a hentai, ne? More quiz posts will be coming, I love these silly selector things! Some of them are really good!

LotR news for today, I read the most INCREDIBLE BoromirXFaramir fic last night on the website Sweet Sorcery! Oh my gosh, I am so in love with this piece of fiction. I've still got to e-mail the author, but if anyone knows the Deanna that wrote it, please send her my incredible gratitude for writing something so moving! Then again, I am bias, they are my favorite slash coupling! ::grins:: Oh yah, if anyone knows any sites where I can get some really good shots of Dave Wenham as Faramir, please let me know! I want to do kinda' a montage painting of him at different angles, but the picture supply is so limited!

I had better go, man, this was a long Blog, ne? Thanks to all who have visited my site thus far! If you've got a moment, please sign my guestbook, hai? I love reading the messages and I'll try to e-mail those who sign! Ja ne for now minnasan! =^.^=V

I am severely killing time at work right now. I thought I'd have more to do, but that's just not the case today. I'd like to say thought things have been slowly getting better at work. I think I'm finally getting the hang of how things work around here. It can still be really intimidating, but that's okay, I can handle that now. I know I'm better than any of the rudeness around the office, so I'm gonna get through it!

Oh, did you all see that I added a new counter above where the archives used to be? They've been moved to the bottom, below my Contact section, they were taking up too much space! Ooh, and I added a Dreambook guestbook! I like adding extras like that, I hope you guys like it!

I took a WHOLE BUNCH of quizzes yesterday and I thought that I would just post results every couple of days or so. ::chuckles:: I took this one asking what kind of bishonen I'd be.




cold.. or are you?

Find out what bishonen you are.


For anyone who's seen "Angel Sanctuary" and knows me, THIS IS SO TRUE, IT'S SAD!!! Actually, Kira is my favorite character, and I can be just as dark and nasty as he is if I REALLY don't like you, but I tend to be pretty much okay with everyone. Just don't get on my bad side or I'll whomp you with more than the handle of my Seven Swords! ::evil grin::

Well, LotR news for today, I'm in a bit of a writing dry spell! I was doing so well, but since all I do all day is sit and type ads, it's really hard for me to come back and sit here all day and type stories, nyo? But, I've got this new AragornXFrodo thing flipping around in my head and it won't let me be!!! Darn all those AXF fans for getting me hooked! ::LAUGHS:: Nah, just kidding, I love all of them that write these fics! Oooh, and I found a site with tons more screenshots of the TTT previews! Oh yum, they had this gorgeous close up of Karl Urban as the brooding Eomer! ::swoons:: Now that is such a delicious Kiwi, that I cannot begin to describe. Heh, not quite as yum as my Faramirkun, but then again, I am completely bias to that man!!! Heh, now if I can just get that BoromirXFaramir thing off the ground, I will be a happy camper!!!

That's all for now minnasan, work is showing it's head again. Oooh, I'm in the midst of designing my brand new cosplay website, it's tentative name is "Angel's Fury" and version 1.0 features Hakkai and it's got the best name for that version! "It Only Hurts When I Smile... Hakkai's Green" What do you think minnasan? Well, I had better run, ja ne for now! =^.^=V

RANDOM LOTR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Legolas found himself secretly wondering why the other eight of the Fellowship could still see, after all, weren't they supposed to be blinded by beauty?

Today seriously could have been better. I feel pretty lousy right now. I mean, I've got a cold and everything, but also I was kinda' a wench to my mum today after I didn't have a very good day at work. I hate being like that around anyone, especially my parents. But I got home and ate, one of my probs (no food), and I feel quite a bit better. Tomorrow is another day, ne minnasan?

Heh, I've actually gotten back into taking quizzes for my Blog again. ::chuckles:: Karn has some great Selector quizzes on her blurg site. First one I took was to see what kind of Raver I was.



is u raver?

this quiz was created by jezzebella. visit her site here!


THIS IS SO TRUE!! I'm actually not a huge raver, I'd rather go to a really kewl club, but the raves I've been too, I've been all about the dancing. Sissy and I went to a rave last year, it was so much fun because not everyone there was jacked on E... Okay, there was this one girl... But anyhoo, I go to raves and dance clubs to dance, not swing my arms around wildly seeing purple and pink spots... Heh, Kandi Kids... But, they can be pretty kewl too. I'll post other quizzes later on during the week, hai?

Well LotR news for today, I think I'm gonna have to sit and watch it again. It's been a whole three days without my Frodo fix and I'm starting to feel it... ::GRINZ:: I can only imagine the chaos I'll cause with the DVD player next year when they release TTT on DVD... FARAMIRKUN!!!!! ::tries to prevent herself from throwing herself upon Faramir:: Ooooh, I'm just too excited!!!! Of course, we'll have to listen to Galadrial be all dark and foreboding again. I swear, for a elven woman who wears so much white, she should paint her nails black and line her eyes with charcoal! ::LAUGHS:: Woo, I'm starting to get my friend Nick's sense of humor more and more...

Well, that's it for today. I actually feel quite a bit better now that I've blogged. I'm gonna try and start getting the material cut out for my oniisan's and Sissy's costumes tonight. That's always the worst part, ne? Ja ne for now! =^.^=V

RANDOM LOTR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Frodo watched the strangely alluring, but oddly foreboding stranger named Strider in the corner of the Prancing Pony and felt a slash moment coming on... (dedicated to all the AragornXFrodo fans!)

Monday, August 12, 2002

You know, in least I'm faithful in posting in one spot! ::chuckles:: I swear, if it wasn't for this journal, I'd be going insane... I'm chatting to my friend Moon-chan while I'm writing here... We've been discussing how to overthrow my the evil tyranny that I'm held under... Well hopefully I'll only have to endure it about three more weeks and I can give my two weeks notice... Or in least try and get a better position... Whatever the case may be, I hope it works out soon, oi!

Found this totally kewt quiz on Karniz Archada's Blurg today. I really dig anything Japanese, even outside of anime and they had this totally kewt quiz about what Japanese subculture I belong too! It was so true, it hit it right on the button!!

kogyaru



You Are a Kogyaru!


If it's cute, you'll wear it. Fake and bake, hair bleach, and bright makeup line your bathroom cabinet.

As for clothes - anything that's short and cute ("kawaii!").

You are the prize object of all sorts of men - but you are really looking for a rich foreign guy.

He'll find you out hanging out in Shibuya shopping at the 109, text messaging and sending photos over your cellphone.



What's *Your* Japanese Subculture?


Isn't that the kewlest? I LUV wearing wild clothes and having tons of fun with my makeup and hair! Maybe that's why I'm so big into cosplay, ne? Oh, and if you get the chance and know the address, go and see Karn's site right now, she's got the pertiest revamp with Yuli from the Pop n Music series as the main character! Totally kawaii! ::is in love with Yuli's Pop n Music 4 song "Cry Out"::

LotR news for today, I'm getting ready to sketch out my Faramir painting! Kee, I've got such a yummy shot of him holding his bow that I could not resist! I kinda' wanted to find that picture when he's all mussed up while taking care of Sam and Frodo... Heh, now there's a bit of Hobbit love ready to occur! Though I still stand firmly behind Faramir secretly lusting and angsting over Boromir. But I totally dig him with Frodo, thought not half as much as Frodo with Aragorn! I just read this beautiful AragornXFrodo fic at the Library of Moria, but I don't remember who wrote it! It was on the August 11th update, if anyone knows who wrote it, could they let me know? I wanna' give much praises! Oh yah, and the person who wrote the EomerXFaramir fic "Bliss" on the site too! YOU RULE!!! Seriously, that had to be one of the most beautiful pieces of fiction, slash or otherwise that I have ever read!

Well, that's all for today, minnasan... I'm sure I'll have more to Blog on soon, my oniisan's been watching the LotR second disk DVD and I've been learning so much through him! I'll be back soon, minnasan, ja ne for now! =^.^=V

RANDOM LOTR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Hobbit Pipeweed... Guaranteed to make you forget all your troubles... and probably your name...

You know what the worst part of having my job is? The fact that I love my job and... MY BOSS IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER EVIL WOMAN!! I mean, I kid you not! I was so proud of my new brochure that I thought hell, I've done a great job? But guess what? Her mother, I'm serious about this, got upset because the printers screwed up the template and when I listened to her rant, I just smiled, trying to get through it. You know what she did then? THE WOMAN HAD THE NERVE TO SLAP ME IN THE ARM!! I mean, that's grounds for doing something drastic! She does it again, and I swear, it'll be the last time she does it. I don't annoy easily, but I'm also a person who doesn't like to get touched a whole bunch, and you NEVER slap, poke, or tweek me in any way...

Whew, now that I've got that worn out my system, I just finished sitting with the fam and taping our vacation video from the Animal Kingdom in Disney World. Isn't it funny how long it takes you to get film and pictures and stuff put together? I mean, at the end of the month will be the year anniversary since we were in Florida and it's taken this long to get all the video put together? ::laughs:: We are a very sad case.

LotR news for today, I haven't gotten the chance to watch the TTT preview again. ::sniffles:: Hai, I know, I'm hopeless. But I did download my Frodo screensaver onto my office computer. I don't know if we're allowed to do that or not, but who cares?! Besides, it entertained my coworker Janet for a long time, watching the "pretty boy" across the screen. I like Janet, she's kewl. But I haven't had my Dave Wenham fix for a while again... ...must have... faramir... Mmmm, Faramirkun... ::giggles:: Oh yah, and I took a quiz I found on Lilysan's Live Journal. Find out what Elijah Jordan Wood character you are!




Which EJW Character Are You?


You know, I always kinda figured I'd be the more creepy and geeky of his characters! ::laughs:: Ah well, I was hoping for Frodo, but hey, I can live with being super kewt but oddly paranoid Casey, ne?

I had better go for now. If I rant too much about my job, I'm liable to pop a blood vessel or something and I have so little blood to give. I'll post more soon, minnasan, ja ne for now! =^.^=v

RANDOM LOTR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Due to the darkness in the Mines of Moria, no one actually saw Legolas as he secretly tapdanced through the whole mine... But, there was rumors that Gimli was suspcious of hearing show tunes...
