[Reality escapes her]
Mood: Pensive
Music: "Shimmer"- Fuel
Anime Craving: Full Metal Alchemist/Bleach

So, what a month! (coughs) Yeah, yeah, I know, sorry for the four billionth time. ^^;; But, erm, it'll get better (?)

I only have 5.5 hours left of community service- all to be done tomorrow. Woot. The only downside is that I have a ton of forms to fill out...by tomorrow. Blech. If there's anything MC hates, it's forms.

Speaking of things MC hates, I'd like to remind people of things that irritate the hell out of me, so that we can avoid turning my usually sweet and tangy personality to outright bitter, 'kay?

1. Don't sign my guestbook if you're just going to say "Hey, nice site. Come visit me." Yeah, it's pretty likely that I'll visit in six months or so. I visit people who catch my interest, sorry.

2. More images doesn't mean more sophistication. My computer is slow and vulnerable to overload. 40 billion pictures, background music, a video clip, and a ton of dancing smileys will crash my computer.

3. It takes me longer to process Internetspeak and shorthand than it does to process properly typed English. So, give the SHIFT key a little lovin'. Geeks like me will appreciate it.

So, yeah, I'm feeling distinctly less bellicose now. ^^;; I guess I needed to vent and get myself a sandwich...

I'm going to be crazy busy for the next couple of weeks. Not only do I have quarter-final exams, but my cousin is flying in from Japan next Saturday to see my other cousin's wedding, which is the following Saturday. She told me tonight all the jobs she has for me to do at the ceremony and for the reception and it sounds like a lot. I get to arrange roses, hand out programmes, seat people for the reception, and look pretty. Eeks. And it's a formal wedding since the bridesmaids and some of the wedding guests will be wearing black formalwear. So, I have to go clothes-shopping next Saturday (which will be unpleasant because I'm very picky about my clothing) and get my hair trimmed tomorrow. All while trying to study for exams that could make or break most of my grades. Hoorah. X_x

So, about that new theme...eheh...not coming for a little while. I'll get to it someday. ^^;;

I had a lovely little flashback moment earlier this evening. I was listening to the first Fullmetal Alchemist opening, "Melissa," and I had a flashback of my first con. I was in the Fullmetal Alchemist screening room, and whenever the next episode started, everyone would start to sing along. The funny part was that at the fast part, everyone would kinda mumble the words and pick up the next line with admirable vigour. XD Imagine how wrongfooted we were when the opening changed suddenly to "Ready, Steady, GO!" Ha.

All's quiet on the anime front. I haven't had too much of an inclination to catch up on my anime. For some reason, I'm having a hard time focusing. I have a bit more free time now, but I can't seem to get anything done. It's rather depressing.

Well, sorry for the long entry. I'll see you next month! (You think I'm joking, but I might not be... ^^;;)

I had to throw in some Dougals Adams love. If you get the joke, give yourself fifty points. And a cookie.
