Everyone needs to go and read this fic. It's Longshot/Katara. Don't let the ship scare you away--it's a great fic, and it makes it actually makes it work.

Speaking of Avatar... moar plz. The trailer has me excited.

I finished playing Kingdom Hearts the other day (because I'm a crap gamer and haven't finished until now). It's amazing.

So now I'm getting into Final Fantasy VII. Which is also amazing despite the graphics in the original game being... not so good. The funniest thing about it was when I told my (male) friend about it, though.

We fangirled it together. Yes, he's a total fangirl. I was all, "I like this pairing!" and he's all, "That's cool, but I really think this would be better," "Oh, I see where you're going. How about this? That would be hot," "I guess. Oh, and isn't Cid a total badass?"

XD

Oh, and meme taken from hope_assassin.

Leave a comment and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word, et cetera.
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 user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LiveJournal.

In girly!me news, I'm going dress shopping with my mom today because prom's in a few weeks. I'm not usually into the whole 'dance' thing, but almost all of my friends are gonna be there, and we're going to be goofing off a lot and telling inside jokes and just being big dorks. So I'm excited.

I just might have an actual idea for a Hiei/Botan fic. Maybe. Perhaps. We'll see. In my head, it takes place post-series with the aftermath of all the crazy stuff that happened in the last arc (which means "Hiei's new job") and Botan just being... Botan. And we all know what that means.

So I'll see how it goes.

Meme taken from xlovelylightx. (Anyone notice I do way too many memes? Yes? No? Ah, boo.)

Comment to this entry with any fandom. If I'm knowledgeable enough in the fandom to have ships, I'll tell you one non-canon ship I like, one canon ship I like, and one ship I really don't like (either canon OR fanon). Then post this in your own journal to offer up the same responses.

Avatar, Beyblade, Bleach, FMA, Death Note, Harry Potter, Heroes, YYH, Twilight, InuYasha, Ouran Host and Naruto are some of the familiars, but there might be more. Eh.

Oh, and newest Bleach chapters? You'd better cut it out, or I just might start shipping Urahara/Hiyori for kicks.

Look at this!!

Is... it real? I almost cried my eyes out when I saw it; and pretty much jumped around my house like a crazy person. My mom thought there was something wrong with me (and maybe there is). But... but. *hyperventilates* OH MY GOD. I don't care that it's probably gonna suck. Or if the characters are different (I really hope that won't happen, though) and that we get the next-gen kids from the manga. Or that it's a total gimmick for the toys (what the crap, metal? Can't they foresee the injuries that'll come from that?) I'll still watch it and probably adore it.

Just... abgk;ajsnga;gna;gna;nhha'nfdsgh'nhnasdfgnas;dgn

I love it. So much.

*pants* You may now go back to your regular program of non-kiddie anime fangirling. I just had to get that out.

And now a meme, taken from hope_assassin.

The rules: On your music player of choice, let it play on 'shuffle' and listen to the first twenty songs. Write down their names and at the end of each title, add the words "in my pants". See how things fare from there and how naughty a mind you might have.

( In my pants... )

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or a threesome.
2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.
3. Just repost in your own journal.

So I'm finally done with all my FCAT. I think I did pretty well. Although I still hate having to take them. It's almost all we prepare for all year, and it just feels like a huge waste of time. Blah. I don't see why they're so important.

( AND... something crazy awesome happened in chapter 59 of Host Club: )

HEE. I still think Kyouya's in love with her though.

Oh, and still watching Yu Yu Hakusho. I've just finished the Dark Tournament arc. Sooooo good!

Snagged from xlovelylightx.

01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
03. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And so on and so on and so on...

( Answers! )

For our yearbook at school, we had to take this picture for our introduction page. This year it's in the form of an 08. Who formed the 08? Yeah, us. We all had to lay down on the ground and make the curves while our teacher stood on top of a bench and took a picture of us all (she took like nine pictures before she was satisfied too).

My face was way too close to a squashed Snickers candy bar for comfort. But it was fun. I almost kicked my classmate in the head.

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one all of them.

Do your worst, flist. Do your worst.

So! I'm finally on break. Joy! My school day basically consisted of candy-cane-in-mouth pictures, Santa hats, board games, chocolate covered cherries, iTunes, my math teacher rapping, NOT working, and the mandatory dirty word on Scrabble.

It was a really, really good day.

Five things fic request meme! I've always thought these looked pretty nifty... so. Basically, just tell me:

# The fandom. The ones I'm familiar with would include: Avatar, Beyblade, Twilight, Ouran High School Host Club, Naruto, Bleach, InuYasha, Harry Potter, FMA, and some others I probably can't remember.

# A theme ("five worlds [character] never visited," "five people [character] might have been," etc.).

# The character or pairing you wish to be the center of the piece, if any.

# You can request as many as you want. No, really. Go ahead if you want.

I think History just might be my favorite class. Just a little while ago I was like, "YAYZ History first tomorrow!" and took a step back. Because... I just sort of fangirled my History class. Haha, go figure.

Took a three hour nap earlier. Felt veeeeery good. And I finished all of my homework -- go me. And my Algebra teacher showed me my grade so far in her class, and I have an A. I was so happy I thought I could've hugged her. Except I didn't. You know.

I really enjoy my yearbook class so far. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to say anything about what goes on inside to people, but this is internet and nobody from school reads it anyway, so bleh. We made commercials that made us all look like dunces! Wheeee! It was funny, even if we looked ridiculous.

... and there are identical twins in the class. IDENTICAL TWINS. *insert really lame Ouran joke here* No I'm not ashamed at all ya rly

Also: meme snagged from xlovelylightx because I do it every other entry anyway.

A. Post a list of twenty fandoms.
B. Have your friends list guess your favorite character and pairing from each one.
C. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character/pairing.

( Fandoms underneath. )

And that's me only listing 14 because I don't think I have 20 fandoms that I remember. XD

I have to go back to school on Monday. X____x Been busy getting the last of my school supplies and whatnot (I have to take this rolly bookbag instead of a normal one because of my wrist; it's been getting better, but we think my bag may have been the problem because it was SOHEAVY). But I went ice skating yesterday! It was really fun because I hadn't been there in a while anyway. I want to drive a Zamboni...

( An Avatar shipping survey... )

Also snagged by xlovelylightx! Since most of this seems to be made up of memes/surveys anyways! XD

"Leave a comment if you want to know what I really think of you, and I'll reply and tell you. No lies, all honesty.

Post it in your journal after I do yours so I can see the reverse."

<3 Gooooooo.

HAY GUYS. Nothing much is going on right now... it was my grandpa's birthday a few days ago, and we took him out to eat. It was really good -- he had a really great time, and it seemed to help him relax. Very glad for that. He's been really stressed out lately.

Oh, and did I mention that my physical therapist likes Harry Potter? It's so awesome; she's like, massaging my wrist or I'm working with the weights and we're basically going, "So what do you think of Deathly Hallows so far?" "Oh, I love it. Especially this part and this part..." and yeah. She's really nice and I like her a lot. And I also went and saw HP5 AGAIN last weekend with Red. It was great.

DRABBLE TIME. THIS LOOKED LIKE FUN SO I SNAGGED IT.

Give Me:
-a pairing
-a word
-a feeling/emotion
-and if you have a preference whether it be friendship/romantic/whatever.

Just make sure it's a fandom I know (and NO PORN, please. *is still a child*). Beyblade, Avatar, Ouran High School Host Club, Naruto, FMA, Bleach, InuYasha, Harry Potter, Death Note, Twilight/New Moon are mostly what I'm familiar with. So, yeah. Ask away if you want to. ;)

ALSO... is season 3 for Avatar really coming September 21? Really? I think I just may have to have a fangirl moment. *FAN SPASMS*

( The questions are under the cut. )

Oh my GOD, this was fun! Don't take the 'disliked ships' too seriously -- that's just me being kooky about it, in case anyone ships them. XD

Post the explanation of where your user name came from. Then tag TEN users whose explanations you'd like to hear. If you are tagged, then post the explanation to your page.

Okay... where to start. I don't really know if there was an exact reasoning for my user name, but I believe it started a couple of years ago, when I really wasn't in fandom to begin with. Back then, I would watch my anime on TV while it was being dubbed. There was one particular show that I absolutely adored (and haven't seen in awhile, actually) called Yu Yu Hakusho.

For people who don't know, it was basically about a boy named Yusuke who becomes a 'Spirit Detective' (can you see it yet?), and it dealt with a bunch of stuff like demons and monsters and pretty much just this guy's life for working with all this supernatural stuff. One of the terms they had -- and I'm speaking strictly dub, since I don't know what the Japanese term is -- was spiritual energy, which was like, where they're power came from and what helped them become stronger. When I got into the whole fandom deal, that became my user name.

I know. It sounds super lame, and I realize that. But it's sentimental, and I use this name on all of my accounts and have since I first got into fandom. Yu Yu Hakusho was one of those 'first animes' for me, only second to Pokemon, which was my first anime love. Yes, I know, I know! But that's my explanation.

Yeah, I know. I suck: kokoro_chizu, xlovelylightx, mha_chan, kai_isolated, bmcsmartypants

So our car kinda died. It was a '92. I think it served its purpose. But everything is okay because we have a new car now. It's a '93.

...ahem. And my best friend was supposed to have knee surgery today, but her knee popped out again and now she can't have it operated on yet. It's July 19th for her now. *moral support*

( A meme... yes, another one. )

YEAH I SUCK SO WHAT.

And holy cow. I just found out my friend actually reads my fanfic. Like, the one not in fandom. Bwuh?

Him: What are you doing now?
Me: Oh, I was just writing...
Him: Apparently you have no excuse to like Sango and Inuyasha together.
Me: ... guh?
Him: I think Sango and Sesshoumaru are a better couple.
Me: What... do you actually go on my fanfiction account? And read it?
Him: Yeah... who's Grimmjow, and what's 'slash'?

*BRAIN GO 'SPLODEY*

My wrist hurts. Badly. And I don't know why -- it's been hurting even before vacation started (which was like... about a week ago). I mean, it doesn't hurt in the way that I can hardly move it, it's just that when I do move it in a certain way, it just is really sore. Maybe I sprained it or something... I dunno. My mom wants me to go to the doctor to see what's wrong, so yeah. I'm just being whiny right now... so sorry, Flist.

Besides that, though, things have been going well. I'm almost half way done with my summer reading LIES, I TELL YOU. LIES!, and the books on my lists really aren't bad at all. And I caught up on the recent Bleach chapters... *fangirl spasms* OMG YES. Now I have to wait for the next chapter to come out instead of just reading them all rapid-fire. Haha.

I snagged this meme from rosweldrmr. She sees me as either Neville, or a younger Kaylee before she got all sexified. Yup.

1. Comment and I'll tell you what fandom and character I associate with you.
2. Post this in your own journal so I can see what fandom you associate with me.

Dear Self,

When you're going over to your friend's house who you KNOW has a pool, remember to bring a bathing suit, you moron.

Love,

Myself

*fishslapped* ROAR! I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning last night and I need to get to 4 to beat that record after coming back from a friend's house. WE TOTALLY ATE CHOCOLATE AND SOMETHING ELSE FOR DINNER. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. BUT THAT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT TASTED GOOD AND THERE WAS CHEESE ON IT.

Ahem. Meme time!

Name a character and I will reply with three (3) reasons why that character sucks.

Keep in mind that most of my answers will probably be of the crack variety where I am cleverly disguising my love for so-and-so ("Gah! That stupid Misa with her shinigami eyes and that fierce loyalty thing she has going! And she acts/sings too! What a bitch!")

So go! Now!
