Loads of updating needed to be done yet I'm posting another meme. Yeah, I'm lazy like that. XD

Stolen from chibisapphire 

Comment on this entry, and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something — fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite userpic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

By the way. People who did the 07-Ghost anime? AKA Studio DEEN people? Go die, please. >< I was watching episode 7 awhile ago and, well, everything just felt so wrong. Everything. Although you deserve credit for making my sweet sweet Kuroyuri finally talk (whose voice I find so terribly adorable XD), it doesn't change the fact that you've been wasting so much air time endlessly dragging Mikage's story when that should've happened 5 episodes earlier. I love Mikage but I wish the plot stayed as original as it was in the manga. Original = less Kor encounters + fillers. The animation has also gone duller and duller much to my dismay. Whatever happened to those cool zaiphon sequences yo? Agh. The fight scenes don't even compare to those of the manga, which I find rather sad and disappointing. And don't even get me started with that distracting opera bg; I seriously hate it. >< Guess the manga's just too awesome that I expected so much from the anime? *sighs* I might drop this show sooner or later. Unless someone would be willing to enlighten me of course.

P.S. TAKE OFF THE DAMN CHAINS, TEITO.

Because I woke up so dang early (even if it's my day-off) and has nothing else better to do, here's a fandom meme grabbed from doctor_meowzie .


Pick any of the fandom I know about, and I'll tell you:

1) the first character I fell in love with
2) the character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3) the character that everyone else loves that I don't
4) the character that I love that everyone else hates
5) the character I used to love but don't any longer
6) the character I would shag anytime
7) the character I'd want to be like
8) the character I'd slap
9) a pairing that I love
10) a pairing that I hate
11) my favorite character
12) my five favorite characters
13) my five least favorite characters
14) which character I am most like
15) my deep, dark fandom secret

Thus, naming some of my top fandoms:

D.Gray-Man, 07-Ghost, Gundam Seed + Destiny, Dynasty Warriors, Koori no Mamono no Monogatari, Kuroshitsuji, Soul Eater, Ouran High School Host Club, Code Geass + R2, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru, X/1999, Tactics, Peace Maker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic!, Death Note, Gravitation, Koutetsu Sangokushi, Warui Koto Shitai, Get Backers, Shining Tears X Wind, DNAngel, Saiyuki, Naruto + Shippuuden, Prince of Tennis

( Be lead to my fandoms. )

We're only a few hours away from 2009 and so, I bring you this post. Here's to wishing everyone, including me, a new year filled with happiness and good fortune. Stay wonderful, people. God bless as always~! ^_^


***

Also, before I bid my last farewell to good ol' 2008, I leave you all with a year ender fandom meme. Grabbed it from chibisapphire's Multiply.

( Before I say goodbye, throw it all away. I'll remember yesterday. To go, over my head, I still hold on to you. )

Shortly dropping by for a pre-Christmas Eve post. I'm still kinda depressed but I'd feel really guilty if I didn't do this. So yeah...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MINNA~♪

Although it seems I won't be having my share of presents YET AGAIN this year (Santa, you better pay me double next time!), I guess it still isn't too late to embrace the joy of the season, is it? =) Maa, hope you'll all have a great Christmas~.

I've begun to seriously lack self-motivation. A TREMENDOUS amount of it.

Life used to be so bright and shiny but now, all I see is a world filled with unending depression - and failure. I can't even find a single reason to smile anymore. No, I'm no longer able to do it. He just won't allow me. Even the slightest bit of motivation I have left for myself, he dared snatch away from me. My, what a big loser I have become.

Seems like I won't be celebrating the holidays and my birthday in glee this year after all.

So, shieyume, your LiveJournal reveals...


 

You are... 5% unique (blame, for example, your interest in tsukumoxtooko) and 4% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy yaoi). When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 40

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.
You are weirder than 79% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Sounds like me right. I was expecting a higher score of weirdness though (coz I'm way more abnormal than that? XD). And, of all things...YAOI. o_0 *bleeds*
Got the link from doctor_meowzie  BTW. =)

Snagged from Seru-chan (neko11lover)!

OTPs from yaoi fandoms = NOT INCLUDED (there's just too many of 'em! T^T). Strictly for het. and light BL / slashies only. ^_^


SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:

1. Athrun x Cagalli (Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny)
2. Seishirou x Subaru (Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
3. Haruka x Kantarou (Tactics)
4. Lavi x Lenalee (D.Gray-Man) - Yes, I've finally decided : Lavi = Lenalee's & Allen + Kanda = MINE. XD
5. Zess x Yuki (Betrayal Knows My Name)
6. Kazuki x Wataru (Only the Ring Finger Knows) - Erm, it's yaoish now... -_-

THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:

7. Kira x Fllay (Gundam Seed)
8. Light x L (Death Note)
9. Uryu x Orihime (Bleach)

THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:

10. Shinn x Luna (Gundam Seed Destiny)
11. Athrun x Meer / Luna / Meyrin (Gundam Seed Destiny) - In this case, "/"s mean "or", mmkay?
12. Lelouch x Shirley (Code Geass, Code Geass R2)

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:

13. Suzaku x Euphie (Code Geass)
14. Sebastian x Ciel (Kuroshitsuji)

( Beware, handful of Luna bashing ahead. )
 

So the rumors are true...

Our ConPhil prof is one hell of an OPPORTUNISTIC PERVERT.

Like EEW! For the first time, I've actually encountered one. And here I thought people like that only exist in ecchi and smutty anime / mangas. *shudders* Mou, my arm and right shoulder are badly in need of disinfection...

Grabbed this one from meme_lj . You know I just had to. ^_^

General Rule: Pick your 6 favorite fandoms and answer the questions behind the cut.

1. D.Gray-Man
2. Gundam Seed
3. Code Geass
4. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
5. Ouran High School Host Club
6. X/1999

( How I missed you, LJ-cut! )

Since I've now taken a liking to Vampire Knight and it has been an established fact that every Zero in the animanga / video game world is always pure bishie win for me, I shall now deem VK's Zero worthy of my rabidly morbid ardent fangirlism! Zero Kiryuu, you now officially earn a massive share of my blood lust earth-shaking squealing prowess! KYAA~!!!! Although I'm still considering the chances of eventually ditching him for Ichiru once I get past episode 4 and the succeeding no-Ichiru-just-yet episodes. I've heard from somewhere in the net that Ichiru's twice as HOT (or was that purely opinionated?) and judging from the caps I saw a while ago in Google, indeed, he truly appears to be worth excessively drooling for. XD

On a slightly relevant note: Don't ask me if it's Zero/Yuuki or Kaname/Yuuki. I know it's the ever inevitable VK question but please, I am more or less torn between these two right now. Zero/Yuuki's quite cute but Kaname/Yuuki seems rather interesting too. (plus, Kaname is undeniably HOT XD) Also, I find myself pretty confused regarding the canonship between said pairings. I see ZeKi as canon but there's something in me that says Kaname/Yuuki  is more likely to happen. Why is that? Er, I guess I've yet to see more of the pairings' developments. (and Shiki/Rima, the poker faced duo, captured my fancy too ^_^)

Apart from J-music, I also enjoy songs from the following albums to an extreme extent:

1. Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park
2. The Silent Force - Within Temptation
3. Comatose - Skillet
4. All the Right Reasons - Nickelback
5. Dizzy Up the Girl - Goo Goo Dolls
6. No Strings Attached - 'N Sync (omigod, it screams POP!)
7. Westlife - Westlife (another of the pop/boy band genre -_-)
8. Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morisette
9. All That You Can't Leave Behind - U2
10. Ultra Electro Magnetic Pop - The Eraserheads (the sole OPM here)

That's my current top 10 in no particular arrangement. And I can't believe there's no Green Day up there T^T. ALTERNATIVE MUSIC RULES! XD

Apparently, the Yuki icon's all happy coz...

BETRAYAL KNOWS MY NAME VOL. 1 CHAP. 4 IS FINALLY OUT!


The rest of the chapter is available for direct download at the hotaru_odagiri community, courtesy of the great (yes, and I mean that XD) crossquill. *kowtows* I'm truly looking forward to the continuation of the translation project (yay~ more BKMN, WHOOT!) especially now that my enthusiasm towards BKMN (and Zess x Yuki) has been strongly revived once again. I've agonized over this for ages man! =)

Now on a random fangirling note...

SERIOUSLY. SILENT HILL MOBILE 2 CREEPED THE HELL OUT OF ME. o_0

Otouto: Ne, what're you playing Shie?
Me: Oh, just some Silent Hill...
Otouto: You've just begun? I was playing it earlier and it was really CREEPY...
Me: Don't worry, I don't get scared that easily. I'm actually pretty excited! XD

15 minutes later...

Me: WAAH!
Otouto: What is it?
Me: Make it stop! Make it stop! *points to otouto's cellphone screen* Eeh! X(
Otouto: Er, I told ya... -_-

Horror video/mobile games normally don't scare me and I love playing Resident Evil and Parasite Eve to death. However, Silent Hill just has...an entirely different feel. o_0

Well, the beginning was a so-so - wandered along the dark abandoned hospital corridors, picked up a note from some dead guy's corpse, looked through a couple of eerie paintings, blah blah blah UNTIL I ENTERED THE UNDERWORLD. Man, the BLOOD, the EVIL, and most of all, the TORTURE CHAIRS (eeh!) - I can't get 'em off of my head! They're all stuck in there! X( Gave me the tremendous chills if I may say. And I know that S.H. 2 and 3 are way scarier than this.

The feeling is quite different from plainly watching scary shows/movies and reading books/mangas of the same genre. Interactive horror would just trigger your panic especially when you've already run out of gun ammo. Damn, freaky.

SO YEAH, I WON'T BE PLAYING ANY SILENT HILL EVER AGAIN.

( Trick or treat~ )

I finally got my grades for first sem! Having a current QPA of 1.25, I think I might have been able to make it in the President's List again! Wee~! XD

I've just watched the first episode of Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) last night and I think I may have found a new fandom-obsession in it. Nya~! XD The gothic + supernatural aura in this anime simply suits my taste. Kuroshitsuji actually has the same feel as XxxHolic (Sebastian = Yuuko?), Tactics (with all that demon-taking-on-human-form effect) and Count Cain + Godchild (does count/master x butler/servant ring a bell?), so even after watching only a single episode, I'm already rabidly fangirling over it. XD Sebastian reminds me a lot of Ouran's Tamaki when he's in comical/bossy!butler mode and Kyouya, when he's in cunning/kick-ass/evil!butler mode. Nifty eh? Oh Sebby, I heart you. I just wish you were a little less brutal though. ^^" And Ciel...he's just too cute! And the eyepatch! It's so sexy! *drools* (gosh, did I just sound like a pedo?) Erm, he's, strangely, a bit creepy though. *sweatdrops* And, and, I find Tanaka + his teacup cute too! The chibiness...it kills! XD Admittedly, I still have to figure out what the story's all about; the Phantomhive household still is a complete mystery to me. I should probably start reading the manga while waiting for Shinsen to release the subs for episode 2 onwards. Dammit, I've gotta learn to be patient once again. And lastly, is it just me or am I really picking up pedophiliac slashy vibes from Sebastian and Ciel? LOL, I'm beginning to think of something dirty again. *gets shot*

On to Loveholic volume 1...

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD. (sorry, but I don't feel like cutting the entry :P)

OMG! I've finally read it! Yay! Ken-chan is truly adorable and he made me LOL so much last night. And Daisuke...HOT o_0. Another OMG! Minami-chan's right! Kumi-chan does look like Ojamaru (Prince Mackaroo)! LOL! ...erm, jodan desu; Kumi-chan's actually really cute. ^_^ The first chapters were light and funny but as soon as I read chapter 5, my tears were almost in the brink of being shed again. It's the extra chapter where Sei was introduced.

I do like Dai-chan x Ken-chan but I adore Dai-chan x Sei much more. Daisuke's first love is just...WIN. Well, a tragic win for that matter. Sei loved Dai-chan and Dai-chan obviously loved him back BUT-*sobs*. It just broke my heart into pieces when Sei finally said those words:

You knew I was going to get married and yet you just laughed and slept with me anyway.
"Emotions are nothing but trouble. Having our lust satisfied is more than enough."
It's because you said that, that I let myself go.

Why? Why does it have to be like that? Dammit. Dai-chan, I definitely hate you in this chapter. Well, um, the part where he cried for Sei is an exception. The ending of the chapter just gave me a major heartache. Sei!!! *emos in a corner* T^T

At last...

LOVEHOLIC IS NOW UP IN NIHONOMARU!

I've been waiting a million of years for this! Kyaa~! Volume 2 isn't still completely English-translated though. Well, doesn't matter anyway as long as Ken-chan and Dai-chan are now within my closest reach! Ohohoho~! I'm gonna download it later! Makes one feel so excited! XD

ZOMG!  I can't believe I bumped on my ex-boyfriend (the second one) while I was running my errands just this morning! Waah! His place is quite far from mine so it surprised me a bit when I met him at our neighborhood's grocery store where I was shopping for eggs and a few sweets earlier. Um, we actually have always been in good terms even after we broke up (way back last February) so it's not abnormal for him to walk towards me and greet me with a very casual 'hello' (which he did earlier). Of course, I've greeted him back with a 'hi din' and eventually managed to have a little chit-chat about random things with him. I figured that it doesn't feel totally weird anymore facing him BUT the only thing left that is troubling me is... HIS SMILE! Waah! Why does he still have to put on that *gulps*angelic*chokes* smile right on his oh-so-cute face?! Darn it! Darn it! Darn it! I've already moved on and I'm currently happy being single but why does that one little smile still melts me completely inside without fail?! Oh shit. I thought I was gonna go blind again when I saw him smiling brightly earlier. I'm just relieved that he didn't notice me blushing...well, as if I really was. So cheesy eh? Mou, but it does pain me inside to see such a, ahem, warm and brilliant sight; good thing the conversation didn't go too long enough to make my eyes drool with blood and that he eventually left the store right before I did, so as to end my agony. Fuwaa! To think I'm fangirling all over again for a former special someone; I feel so ashamed of myself! T^T As they say past is past but mou!. I just hope I still won't be seeing him at school that often. -_-

Anyways, I've definitely moved on! I'll certainly be able to completely get over with it! GO FAIT-O! *puts on an I-can-do-it! pose* XD

On a random note: Here's a sight, more than that ex's smile, that really made my eyes bleed to death, my sight for sore eyes:

Oh Kanda-kun, why must you always be so pretty? Squee~♥♥♥
