Welcome one and all to the special section--enter at your own risk...For Madmen
Only!This is where I post all my thoughts (usually anime or literature related) for all to
see.Please don't flame me for this section.You probably won't have to,since I have to keep
it childsafe.Anyway,this will mainly be a rant n'rave section,but occasionally I'll post
something funny,like a mini-fic or a comic(if I can draw a good one,or find a funny one to
post).This is my alternative to livejournal,since I can't get a freaking code and I
frankly don't want to use it anymore anyway.This is more fun.*P.S.-You can stop laughing
at the utterly hilarious picture now.What song could they be singing?Probably End of the
World by REM..*Enjoy! :-)

Yeah!Added more stuff on site and made it purrty!My bum's hurtin' cause I've been sitting in this chair so long. Must... Type..Okay.So,my horrid two weeks of summer ::cough::concentration::cough:: camp at the evil Enip Weiv,school for the gifted(meaning those who can open doors ,speak backwards and speak at least 20 words in a different language) is finally over.I had to take personal fitness so I could graduate.By the way,has anyone ever heard of the "Indian Run"?Not only is it not Indian or Native American,it was probably invented in a labor camp.You see,there are two groups of people,about 30 per team,and they stand on the track in a straight line,each team facing each other.Then they must all run in a straight line while passing back a baton*no throwing*,and when it reaches the last person,they must run ALL the way to the beginning of the line.The running and passing continues until the FIRST person returns to the FRONT.This takes about ten laps if your good,and that's over TWO MILES.Grrr..And we had to do it in the SUNLIGHT,which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I live in Florida!Arrgh.. Well,I hope to write again soon.Ja ne!

Worked on friends' cosplay costumes for Anime Festival Orlando.Chaos has her Hikaru costume done except for the cuffs,bow,and collar.So,like a good friend does,I went to sew them for her.Only my sewing machine broke and I hand-stiched the whole thing..owww..Anyway,I called Washu today,but she hasn't even started her Fuu costume. All I'm missing from my Umi costume is the skirt.I read Steppenwolf last night,watched Down to You with Julia Stiles,then tried to psycho-analyze my cat.(I'm insane,how are you?)By the way,Rosario Dawson and Julia Stiles would make a killer Anthy and Utena in a live action American film,don't you think?I mean,I had to sit through Down to You without trying to picture Julia pulling a sword out of Rosario's chest. She looks exactly like Anthy.But that's just my opinion.Besides,it's not like they could make a live-action Utena movie in the U.S.A.,I mean,some of the themes are just too much for the American public.But then again,what would Freddy Prince Jr. look like with red hair..Or Toby Mcguire with blue for that matter?*dodges tossed salad people from the KKJ section of Books* Alright,I get the picture!But seriously,would anyone like to see a live-action Utena movie in the U.S.(or Japan,for that matter)?Maybe that will be a new poll question!Ja ne!

Finished Steppenwolf last night.I knew there was something about Pablo that I didn't like.I figured out what it was.HE'S AKIO'S CLONE!I actually cried when Hermine died, which surprised me,since I didn't cry when Mamiya died..So it turns out Pablo was behind the manipulative circular Magic Theatre-price of entrance your mind.God,why didn't Harry kill Akio?--I mean Pablo?!He talks,walks,even laughs like Akio!At least I found out which Hesse character Akio's based off of.Beware,those who read Steppenwolf.When you finish reading,watch the last two episodes of Utena.That should somehow make you feel better.Stupid Pablo..He made me cry!I was so angry that I cried!Ugh...now I know why there's a warning at the beginning of the book.If you talked to a stoner about it,they'd seriously say, "Man,I've got to get some of what you're on!".Want to try one of Pablo's "special" cigars?Just a literature joke!*dodges the salad* My gods,where do these crazy people come from?!
A-ko:I need another bowl of salad!This is fun!
You guys?A-ko,B-ko,C-ko,the shadow play girls?
B-ko:This site's like a theatre,so it needs actresses!
C-ko:I get to make my debut!
A-ko,B-ko,and C-ko:I wonder,I wonder,do you know what I wonder?!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!This can't get any wierder! *Runs away to find herself locked in a passageway of doors,like in the Utena movie,only these are white.She's wearing her duellist uniform* Wow!Wait,I have one of these? *runs through spiral theatre complex and opens one of the doors* Hey!What a rip-off!This is just a white room with a chess table in the middle!I don't even know how to play chess!I want my mind back! *exits room,runs down spiral to a door,reads its description* "To the one Engaged,please wait inside."...Well,that's not me!Bye-bye! * runs back down through the spiral and out the doors of a large building entitled "Enip Weiv Auditorium"*

Just got back from Anime Festival Orlando 4!Everything was absolutely amazing (except for the horrific car ride back which I won't even go into because if I do I will vomit). I wore my costume the whole time,even though Chaos and Washu slacked off towards the end.Unfornately,I was the only Umi at a convention full a Fuu-Hikaru duos,so I was pulled over practically every second for pictures.But I got some great shots which I post later in a new "Cosplay" Section.I got to do Voice Acting 101,and then went to a Q&A with Wendee Lee(you know,the Goddess of all things Voice Acting?).I even got her autograph on my new Faye Valentine poster.Soooo happyyyy!I bought a lot of nifty stuff while I was there so I'll list it for you now:
Magic Knight Rayearth Poster
Utena Poster
Autographed Faye Valentine Poster
SailorMoon Horoscope Stickers
Utena Rose Signet Pin
Cowboy Bebop Wallscroll(for lil'Bro)
Utena Movie CD Soundtrack
Utena Sticker sheets(4 of 'em)
And last,but most definately not least.....THE UTENA ARTBOOK!Yeah!
So that was great.We hooked up with my friends from school and hung out,so I had a great time.You can see my picture on the convention's website,I'm pretty sure you'll know it's me.I'm the only blonde Umi Ryouzaki.

Yeah! My step-mom bought me Siddhartha!Nothing's better than a good dose of Hesse on a lonely weekend at your narcissist otowa-san's house!It's one of those things you just can't control,I figure. I'll just act like Mary Sue at his house, and isolate myself at mom's house. Yeah,that sounds good enough.Anyway,I won't be posting anything really happy here,but don't get the idea that I'm this manic depressive loser who is only happy when she's dreaming of another world far away from the constraints of the secular realm.. Wait,yeah I am.Dang it.Well,moving on..I need to post something funny today,so I have a funny little mini-fic for you...

Touga and Akio snickered as they drove the Akio-car down the seemingly endless circle of the ohtori academy parking lot. Danger Danger danger stop stop danger...death. Touga stopped laughing at something evil Akio had just said,and he got a solemn ...well..Miki-like look on his face. "Akio,every girl at this academy has fallen head-over-heels in love with me.I feel like 'The Bachelor'... well,almost every girl.And that's where I need your help."
Akio grinned evilly(well more evil than that adjective,but they haven't yet classified that category of evil) and replied, "Anything,Touga,just name it." Touga got the pathetic tsuwabuki-look on his face.
"Well,you know that cool stationary you have....?"

Arisugawa Juri stood in the middle of campus.This was by far the most ridiculous assignment she'd ever been asked to perform by the Ends of the World.She stood there,in an orange bathing suit,with long pointy bunny-ears and a cotton tail,singing. Yes, singing.
"Oh,Touga,You make me feel like a na--t-u-ral woman!Oh yeah,Touga!.."
Believe me, every eye on that campus was directed towards the orange-haired student council member,belting out monotone ballads about...a guy?
"That's Juri,right?"
Shiori walked past as if nothing was happening,then turned around.Juri stopped singing.Shiori looked puzzled.Utena walked up and took the paper out of Juri's hands.Then she burst out laughing.
"Who dares say such things about my onii-sama?!",Nanami cried,running in fury towards the orange rabbit.As soon as she recognized Juri-sama,she haulted. "J-ju--juri-sama....?"They were interrupted by Utena,and...yes,even Anthy's resonating laughter.Juri put her hands on her hips.
"And what,pray tell,is so darn funny?"
Utena just handed her the paper.Then she said, "Recognize the handwriting?"Juri's eye's got saucer-sized.
"TTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOUUUUUUGGGGGGGAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The end.

I hope you liked the story.I think it's pretty hilarious.I hope to have some more short fanfics to post here soon.In the mean time,thanks for stopping by.

Oh my god(s).Our school's assembly today couldn't be more of an advertisement...You see,our principle knows that our school is for "gifted" (i.e.-children whose parents paid a doctor to say that their IQ is above the norm) children,and it's really hard for children from low income families,minorities,immigrants,and me (i.e.- above the norm), to pay for the school's high supply,lab,and "school support" funds.So we have this reputation of being a "white rich kid school" that,of course, administration absolutely detests.So .Rm Ogral decided to have an assembly to advertise to other schools & the school board about our "Diversity".So the whole school had to file into the gym,and wave little flags of other nations we couldn't even recognize(I wonder why we couldn't name the flags,.Rm Ogral?) while listening to a speech about how we at Enip Weiv should "embrace our differences" and "love each other" as the chorus sang "Gloria in excelcis deo"in Latin (much to the dismay of the atheist population of Enip Weiv) and the orchestra played,get this,"Colors of the Wind". *bangs head loudly* The student speeches and readings were really heartfelt and beautiful(Ariana Abid even recited the pledge! high points to her!)...up until Noah's speech on "respecting intellectual diversity".He said something along the lines of "gifted people are schitzophrenic, Buddha is self-absorbed,and I am thy God."But the real moment of horror was .Rm Ogral's quote of the day (QOD),"Some say America is like a giant melting pot,but I dissagree. America is a giant tossed salad."Thank you,President Bush! Can I go back to class?
Why am I so mad about this?Simple:we're having an assembly at Enip Weiv about diversity,when we have NONE. I was talking to my friend after the assembly and she told me that she was sad to see such a blatant cover-up pasted over the problem our school has. "I'm the only African-American senior,and there are only 4 or 5 black kids in the entire school,1 or 2 muslims,a slightly larger Jewish population,and the rest of our school is mostly white.How can they even begin to say that we are even qualified as having diversity." Point being:In the words of a straight-A senior whose name will remain anonymous, the assembly was,and I quote, "A mini-Hitler-rally."Let's pray that in the future our school decides to address its problems instead of wasting time trying to cover them up.

You know you're angsty if:
It's 100 degrees outside,and you're wearing pitch black mourning clothes.
You walk outside on a perfectly sunny day,and it starts to rain.
Someone asks you for change,and you say, "Bite me!"
You spend your free-time making stigmata-like cuts in your wrist.
You slap someone.Because they were breathing in a way you disliked.
You give a little girl's dog the eye,and it puts its tale between its legs.
You feel isolated in a crowd.
When someone asks you whats wrong,you look at them like they're crazy.
Your bedroom has,instead of the do not enter sign, Dante Alighieri's "Inscription on the Gates of Hell" speech.
You failed a test due to unjust causes,so you nailed 95 "Why I should have gotten an A's" to your teacher's door.
If you can think of more,email me.
