    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you suspected stuff was going on, I'm pretty sure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, screw that. It's probably all of you who has me on msn. Rare for me not to be on msn at all, is it not? Well...some things are going to change from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year had been a bit of a disaster. Probably not as bad as last year, in some ways, but terrible in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of you know about Eli and I. Yes. We got into arguments. Some conflicts that isn't really conflicts. Etc. Etc. Remove that exasperated look from your faces. *waves* Things are somewhat settled, regardless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not all of you know about a dear friend of mine betraying me in a way I never expected him to. If it's even fit to be called betrayal. I don't know what to call it, really. But it screwed me up good and well and terribly and in ways I never thought he would do to me. No, I don't see fit to talk about it in detail. Let's just say years of working some trust and faith in people has now all been thrown back to the wind. Trust is hard to earn when it comes to me. It had always been, and I'm fairly certain it will be even harder from now on. And yes, this was the point when I thought, screw it all. This was probably one of the few times when logic warred with feelings a great deal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was also the point when I have finally had &lt;i&gt;enough&lt;/i&gt;. Beyond tired. Beyond exhaustion. Beyond my damned limit. 'Course, I said that for a good while this year, hadn't I? But even when I had then, I never really moved to do anything. I wasn't &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; tired. And of course, something had to occur to test my limit, my patience, my exhaustion. It's like there is something out there that's really, really trying to make me break completely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, of &lt;i&gt;course&lt;/i&gt; it succeeded. Not so much that I broke down. But something did break. A limit that's stretched too thin, it's torn, broken, and irreparable. So yes. Congratulations to this thing that had been so determined to see me break. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly. It managed to define exhaustion on a whole new level. It's not the sort of tiredness that goes away after sleeping on even the most comfortable bed. It's the kind of...bone-deep weariness that never leaves you. The kind that you feel on your shoulders, on just about every part of you, all the time. You don't feel like talking, or walking, or even breathing, because it's all so &lt;i&gt;tiring&lt;/i&gt;. It just feels so heavy. And in your chest, that's where it's the heaviest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, you just &lt;i&gt;don't&lt;/i&gt; even want to be involved in &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt; anymore. You &lt;i&gt;don't&lt;/i&gt;. Not even the gut reaction to be polite and respond appropriately, the gut reaction to listen to reason, that innate instinct in you that tells you to wait and &lt;i&gt;listen&lt;/i&gt;, matters. Because you are &lt;i&gt;tired&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never imagined I'd feel that way. Never imagined that sort of exhaustion even possible. I don't think any of you who knew about certain events did either, which is why one or two of you had been sorely surprised to find out that I was. But then, perhaps the one who had been the most surprised was myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I had enough drama to last me a lifetime. So no. I'm sorry if you think I won't entertain some of you in your dramatics. Because I won't. I'm not playing any of your mind games. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several type of mind games. The first is the sort where you really just don't want to say what it is. The second is the sort where the other party should figure it out themselves. The third is riddle-type, which I'm guilty of pretty often, I'll admit. Not really wanting to say it, but there is a need to say it. The reluctance makes me do it in a roundabout way. It's instinctive. Trying to delay it. I either do this, or I say things point blank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the fourth is the sort where what you really want to see is the &lt;i&gt;reaction&lt;/i&gt;. Testing the waters, so to speak. The &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; to see what the reaction is. Now this, tends to be sadistic, and the cruelest. Frankly, I have neither the tolerance and kindness to endure that one any longer. Some of you term me (and others) as being sadistic sometimes, but what I do, that isn't really sadism because no one's getting hurt aside from bruised egos that are really all in the name of fun and done in a controlled manner, and because no one's getting poked with a needle that could make you &lt;i&gt;bleed&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But real sadism? Do I really need to pick up a dictionary and define &lt;i&gt;sadism&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can do whatever the hell you want. But don't expect me to do anything if I feel as if you're trying to pull me into your little mind games to sate your appetite. Because I won't. Call me cold for it if you want, but it doesn't change a thing. It's not as if I haven't been known as a cold person for a long time, regardless. You'll just think I'm colder now, and much more so than in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't deny it either. It's fast becoming a fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a brighter note. Things are considerably better, now. I do feel better. I'm tired, yes. But better. A little time and peace works wonders, sometimes. So those of you who were worrying, you can stop. Things are going to be...different, from now on, when it comes to me. You may come to realize it, you may not, but if you're meant to see it, you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know at least one of you have already sensed the change. I know &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for better or worse, things have already been set in stone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things will be different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as msn goes. While part of the reason I haven't been on is due to certain events, the other half of it is really because I have work to do. I have a life to attend to, whether I like it or not. And things have been a little hectic, and will remain hectic, what with documents and stuff to take care of. I'll be graduating on the 17th. A couple other things will come later, after that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that being said. I can't say I'll be on as often as I have always been. Reasons aside from the general buzzing of life? Don't feel like it, and exhaustion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the purpose of this post..? To make a couple points, notes, and warning people of things that's coming. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And..hmm. Wouldn't someone be delighted to read this, now? No. Do not respond to this. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to see you. I don't want to hear from you. Not now, not ever. So read this, deal, and move on. This is my first and last response to whatever you said to me, and whatever you have to say to me. Because it honestly just doesn't matter anymore. It &lt;i&gt;doesn't&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

Lightly, at first. Then you observe its surface. Barely a scratch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hit it again. Harder. Much harder than the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see a crack. You touch its surface, marvelling, for some reason, at its roughness that is so different than the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you get curious. Again, you hit it. &lt;em&gt;Harder&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More cracks appear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shape of it was almost intricate, with lines - jagged, connecting lines - running all over, with a rough, twisted circle forming on its surface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's almost &lt;em&gt;beautiful&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hit it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;em&gt;again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;crack&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You wince.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You wince, because you did not expect a piece of the glass to fly loose and slice you on the cheek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You rub at your cheek with the back of your hand, feeling the warm liquid smear lightly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just a small cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You glance at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many lines running all over in a rough, jagged round shape; and you spot a little hole at its centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You give it a closer look, and notice bits of tiny shards &lt;em&gt;inside&lt;/em&gt; the car from the hole. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for some reason, you don't like that. You don't, because you didn't &lt;em&gt;mean&lt;/em&gt; for the glass to actually break. It isn't supposed to be that way, and it taints the &lt;em&gt;beauty&lt;/em&gt; of what the glass had been, the little hole there. You don't like it, and you &lt;em&gt;want to pick up the pieces and patch it back&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you can't get into the car. It's locked. You move around it, experimenting at the doors, tapping at windows, even trying your hands at the boot; you don't have the key to the car, and you don't know how to get into it without one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where is the key?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you go back to the front, glancing at the cracked glass guiltily, and contemplated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a thought occurs to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could just make a bigger hole, big enough to fit your arm, and you could pick up the pieces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so you hold the bat again, and &lt;em&gt;hit&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hole's bigger, and more shards flies in and &lt;em&gt;out&lt;/em&gt;, but it's still not big enough to put your hand through it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hit it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you stop, and give the hole an assessing look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's big enough to fit your hand in now, definitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You drop the bat and it &lt;em&gt;clinks&lt;/em&gt;; you put your hand on the hood, and snatch your hand back immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your palm feels like it's almost &lt;em&gt;burning&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You give the hood a wary glance, and touch it again, cautiously, this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's hot, it &lt;em&gt;almost&lt;/em&gt; burns, but it doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just takes some time to get used to the heat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you move. Slowly, this time, and climbed on top of the hood - it's hot, but under the chilly weather, it's a little bit of a welcome change. You think you could lie on it for a while, and it's a tempting thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then you wince when you feel something prickle your skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another piece of the broken glass has sliced you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the knee, this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You give the hood a closer look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few shards littered on the hood, and some on the glass itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You feel like frowning, for some reason, but you don't, reasoning that you can pick those later; you should pick the ones&lt;em&gt; in the car&lt;/em&gt; first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you ignore the little cut, and reach your hand in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You stretch to your limits, because your arm really isn't that long, and for some reason, those pieces of glass seem to be almost out of reach, despite being just next to the windshield, on the dash cover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you feel the sharp edge of the hole prickling your skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blood trails down your arm, but you ignore it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You try to stretch further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sharp edge stabs at your arm more dangerously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And more blood flows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Drip, drip, drip..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ignore the blood staining the cracked windshield, ignore the blood dripping inside the car, and reach out blindly for the shard. You try to peer through the cracked windshield, but there is only so much you can see from that angle. &lt;em&gt;Especially with all the cracks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You touch a soft surface. It's a smooth and soft surface that belongs to the mat covering the dash board. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are entranced, for a short while; you like how it feels, and you skim your fingers - &lt;em&gt;bloody and slippery&lt;/em&gt; - over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you aren't focused on that for too long. You're more concerned about the car, and &lt;em&gt;you want to fix the glass&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, finally, you feel a piece of shard at the tip of your finger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You grab it immediately, &lt;em&gt;too quickly&lt;/em&gt;, and your palm is cut by the broken piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You suppress a wince from forming, and try to feel around for any other shards - and you do, so you sweep them all into your hand, and form a little fist with them in it. &lt;em&gt;You feel the pieces prickling at your palm&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, you pull your hand out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The broken edges of the windshield stabs at your arm, but that's okay, because you got the pieces, and you can patch the glass again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You glance back into the hole to check if there are other pieces lying around - you spot stains of blood on the grey, furry mat, but you do see other pieces of glass lying on it, so you stuff the shards into your pocket, and reach your bloody hand in again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rinse, repeat, &lt;em&gt;blood, cuts, pain&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only it's worse each time you do it, because it isn't always new cuts that form, but new ones &lt;em&gt;on top of the old ones&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not very long before you're satisfied, you don't see any other shards in the car - though you do wonder, for a brief moment, if there are some of them that are hidden from view, blocked by the various objects in the car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't think it's a big problem, so you divert your attention to the hood, and pick up the remaining shards, sometimes cutting your fingers in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you need glue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you need to reassemble the pieces, and &lt;em&gt;figure out where goes where&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glue is easily obtainable. And it's in your pocket, for some reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You sit on the hood, liking the warmth of it (but it wasn't as warm anymore, for some reason), place a white handkerchief in front of you, dig into your pocket to get the pieces out, and laid them out on the piece of cloth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now comes the hard part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time, it takes you a while to arrange them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You spend hours on it, glancing back and forth between the windshield and the shards, and even by the time you are done, you aren't sure that it's the right arrangement. So you move the pieces around, again and again, ignoring the way blood seeps around the pieces, ignoring the way they cut into your fingers, and concentrate entirely on just the shards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You forget about your bleeding arm, you forget about the cuts, you forget about the pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, you're satisfied. Not entirely, because you &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; aren't sure if it is right, but it will have to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you just hope you got it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You look back at the blood-stained windshield, uncap the glue bottle, and begin patching the glass carefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't take very long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But by the time you are done, there &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; little holes between the bloody shards you put back into the windshield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means you fucked up; and there are probably some other pieces missing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you can't do anything now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't dare to, because you aren't sure if you can find the pieces if you did not find them the first time around, and you don't think you should make an even &lt;em&gt;bigger&lt;/em&gt; hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you slide down from the hood - and you feel the chilly air, instantly - and look at the tattered windshield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's stained with blood, marked with multiple cracks, and the patchwork - it's &lt;em&gt;glue&lt;/em&gt;, and it's &lt;em&gt;obvious&lt;/em&gt; how amateur a work it is - has little holes in it. It doesn't look as beautiful as it did before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you don't know what to do, because you can't fix it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you are beginning to feel the dull, throbbing pain of the cuts and stabs from the sharp edges of the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're filled with regret, with pain; you are &lt;em&gt;cold&lt;/em&gt;, and you want to cry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can't turn back time, and sometimes, &lt;em&gt;it's just better to let the broken pieces lie&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a while since I looked at the Naruto fandom, and it's an even longer time since the last time I felt the need to advertise a fiction from the junk-infested fandom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This takes the cake though, if only because it's been a long time since I read something that aligns with my view of Team 7...and that it does deserve quite a few more praises than just a meager two.

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why. Did I. Visit. The fandom. Again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;The ten rules to writing a proper MGLN story.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. DO NOT capslock the story. Do not bunch and squish them into a single paragraph. Space them out. Use full stops at the end of your sentences. Do not l33t talk your story. Do not misuse quotations or italics or whatever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Always double check your grammar and spelling with whatever document program you use, if you do not have a beta. I'm most certainly not a grammar nazi but...please. At least. The bare minimum. Of &lt;i&gt;readability&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Do not misspell a character's name. Google is your friend. It takes only a minute to check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Proper characterization. This includes:&lt;br /&gt;-  Fate does not scream. She does not talk loudly or have a high-pitched tone. She does not talk to a degree where it can be considered blabbering like a goofy, love-sick girl. She is quiet. She's hardly like a little child that is anything like a brat. She's most certainly not prone to random fangirl-ish acts. She is also not prone to snapping every five seconds. Most of all. She is not shallow, and stupid little things like not getting the last little lollypop will not make her go bonkers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Despite the White Devil title, Nanoha is not a devil. She does not bombard people with starlight breaker without even a moment's thought. No, she doesn't whack and kill people for the hell of it. No, it is not in her nature to be wild and lusting for blood just because she &lt;i&gt;loves&lt;/i&gt; it. She does &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; love it. She can be reckless, but not without a reason to be so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Fate does not use honorifics. Unless if certain situations demands certain kind of formalities. But, really...I've seen this happen all the time, and I'm still not used to it. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt; I am. Incredibly. Picky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- While I know some of you may be miffed at this, Yuuno is not some sort of devil of a mastermind that's plotting &lt;s&gt;Nanoha&lt;/s&gt; world domination or whatever! D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Caro is a sweet child. She's timid, to some degrees, but not to the point where anything and everything will make her jump and stutter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Alicia is not some kind of cruel, evil, shallow girl who's out to get Fate. Or Nanoha. For whatever reason people fantasize. If you really have to portray her that way, I expect a convincing explanation on &lt;i&gt;why&lt;/i&gt; she's like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- More to be added. Once and if I actually get around to reading the...fics, that is. Anyone is free to chip in on this, really. Comment, and I'll paste it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Don't make characters ooc. It makes me close the browser &lt;i&gt;immediately&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Doing 1, 2, and 3 will also make me close the browser within a second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Don't bash a character. Be it Yuuno, or Fate, or Nanoha. Or, whoever else. It's demeaning, not to them, but to yourself. It's also incredibly childish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Doing 7 will also make me close the browser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. If the story is focused on original characters, do us all a favor and make a note about it in the summary. I have little to no interests with stories where MGLN characters are &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; the main characters; and I believe this is echoed by a good number of others. No offense, but that is that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. No buts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- - -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am fairly tempted to post this in my ffnet profile. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering all the rants and raves about &lt;i&gt;Prince of Tennis&lt;/i&gt; that I heard of, I'm sorry to say that the manga isn't as good as I thought it would be. If at all. Dunno about anime, but I'm not interested in finding out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, well, I suppose it &lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt; be good...if several elements were not in it. But then again, I'm more for realistic stuff than...spiritual...thingies &lt;s&gt;Gurren Lagaan being one of the notable ones&lt;/s&gt;...that I tend to find absurd. I can see why other people seems to just love it though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also watched Regios. Finally. It's...*rubs chin* interesting, I guess. It's not bad, but not that good to make me sing praises. That..Meicchi?.. or something - the girl who got saved by Layfon twice - annoyed me with all her wishy-washy-ness. And the main character reminded me of a few people in this...dysfunctional circle that I'm in. In various ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing that he's an &lt;i&gt;idiot&lt;/i&gt; and all, after all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right. Anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now...I want a new, long manga series that will occupy me for a good while. Preferably completed. Anime works too. Ones that I have &lt;i&gt;never&lt;/i&gt; read or watched. Any recommendations? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop dancing around the subject. Stop going on tiptoes around me. Stop going back and forth, wavering from one end to another, because I won't chase. I won't fucking move. And stop dropping all these little hints only to not say anything, because I know some of you are doing it on &lt;i&gt;purpose&lt;/i&gt; to see my reaction, and I do not appreciate being manipulated this way. If you're not doing it on purpose, stop being thick-headed, look, and stop being a goddamn coward.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've something to say, say it. Square your shoulders, and just &lt;i&gt;deal&lt;/i&gt;. But don't pull this shit on me.

But then again, my temper isn't at the best these few days. I'm annoyed. Truly, I am &lt;i&gt;annoyed&lt;/i&gt;. Even now, there is only so much I can do to stop myself from flinging a fist at a hard surface just to quell my frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm surprised I even have that much control over myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottomline.

Lol?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's that Year 78 Marriage Incident thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;Hayate's looking...cool. Reminds me of the Betrayers doujin.&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm surprised to see Vivio taking the normal girl route. But...then again, not unexpected, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And is that Erio in page 69? I don't think so, but the similarity is there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall reaction: Skeptical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

My head hurts, I think I've developed a nasty fever, it's 14 degrees Celsius right now, which is a far cry difference from yesterday's 32 degrees, which probably contributed to the fever among a couple of other things in RL that annoyed (and still annoying) me, and this paragraph has way too many comas, and I am going to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

If only because I'm bored as hell..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?&lt;br /&gt;Depends on what, and why. Chances are I'll never trust that person the same way I ever did again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?&lt;br /&gt;Hmm...I think I'd like to travel one day. Look around. And stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your house was on fire, what is the one thing you would take to preserve?&lt;br /&gt;Laptop. Hard disk. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you do with a billion dollars?&lt;br /&gt;Give some to my parents and buy whatever the hell I wanted. &amp;lt;-- copy pasted.

Lol. Curse.

A long, long time back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you go to church?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you doing tonight?&lt;br /&gt;...Typing this meme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the last film you saw in the theatre and with whom?&lt;br /&gt;Last year...sometime last year. With a couple of friends. I forgot the title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you live without the computer?&lt;br /&gt;No. &amp;gt;_&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you wish at 11:11?&lt;br /&gt;What for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever get so drunk you couldn't remember the entire night?&lt;br /&gt;Never got drunk before, soooo... :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favourite flower?&lt;br /&gt;I can't say I've a favourite, particularly since I don't make it a point to remember names, but...the two that comes to mind immediately upon thinking flower; lavender and white rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you hiding something from someone?&lt;br /&gt;Moo. -o-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?&lt;br /&gt;...Can't remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you believe there's always room in your heart for your first love?&lt;br /&gt;There's probably a part of me that won't ever forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does love mean to you?&lt;br /&gt;I...that's a rather difficult question to answer. It's something rather...whimsical. But I suppose that's all the more reason why it should be cherished; or, from a cynical view, abandoned. Pick one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you memorized your social security number?&lt;br /&gt;Whatever is that? :o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who was the last person to make you cry?&lt;br /&gt;Someone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the one you love(d) ever made you cry?&lt;br /&gt;Moo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you trust people easily?&lt;br /&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do/Did you trust the one you love(d)?&lt;br /&gt;I'm just going to say that it was a rather mutual thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you plan on moving out within the next year?&lt;br /&gt;I'm already considered "moved out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened at 10:00 AM today?&lt;br /&gt;I was sleeping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are your plans for today?&lt;br /&gt;No plans. Unless if you count sleeping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who was your last inbox message from and what is it about?&lt;br /&gt;It's a fanfiction review reply from Diana that is &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; amusing me.. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who do you like?&lt;br /&gt;Define "like." Because if it's just 'like', there's too many to name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you still talk to the person who hurt you the most?&lt;br /&gt;I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did that person hurt you?&lt;br /&gt;...Oh, ha ha...not answering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Were you prepared?&lt;br /&gt;In some ways. I wouldn't say it's unexpected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you plan to do anything about it? Or if you did, what? Is it for revenge?&lt;br /&gt;No. And no. ...And if I ever do anything about it, that would be the last thing on my mind. That's rather stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;I don't have a reason to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you happy now?&lt;br /&gt;I'm...alright. Just tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How are you feeling?&lt;br /&gt;Sleepy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you going to do now?&lt;br /&gt;Sleep. -o-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So rather than not tagging anyone...I'm going to tag all of you who read this. Now shoo. Imma sleep.&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;So there's a little conversation from yesterday that kind of creeped/perturbed/surprised me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A: *stares*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: *perturbed*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: *stares some more*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: ...What?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: *raises eyebrow*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: *suddenly leans close*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Er..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Wha?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: They look lighter..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Uh, what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: Ooh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: *stares some more* Yeah. They are a lighter shade. It's still dark, and it's almost unnoticeable, but it is lighter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: *looks blankly* What? You sure you aren't just seeing things? It is sunny now, you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A:  Well, they &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; look lighter to me. And it wasn't just while we were out here. I suspected for a couple days now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: A couple - *spectacles is stolen* - Hey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: *peers closer, spectacles dangling on finger* Hey, she's right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: See? I knew it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: ...You guys actually paid attention to my &lt;i&gt;eyes&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: Not me. I'm not the one trying to bore holes into your brain. I do sort of remember it being almost black? It does seem kind of lighter, now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Pretty..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: ...You're creeping me out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: *snort/strangled laugh/giggling/chuckle/whatever it is*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: ...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A: But they are! They are like...like marbles! Like you know those little marbles with dark liquid in it? That certain kind of dark brown liquid that makes it look really pretty? DDDD:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: *slightly louder strangled noise*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Erm...right...whatever they are...so when did you first notice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: The last time we met? Which was...sometime last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: I see..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- - -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...it's not like changing eye color is a strange thing to me (much). It did happen before, and the shade of my eyes went all the way to &lt;a href="http://eagle8819.livejournal.com/21181.html"&gt;light brown&lt;/a&gt; - however, it lasted only for a short period...and that time was more of an effect of too much staring at the computer, I believe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, though...this...people find interesting ways to make me look at the mirror for more than a minute, it would seem. But...yeah. Have to admit, it does look sort of lighter...and, apparently, it's permanent...for the moment. Or for a lifetime. Probably. I guess it's not so much of my imagination alone anymore since there are other people saying the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However...since when do people actually pay attention to my eyes? And why the hell didn't I know that? (And marbles? What?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My way of joking is to tell the truth. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is the funniest joke in the world." &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;- George Bernard Shaw &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know the irony and what's so funny about that quote, good. Otherwise, meh. Just posting to show that I'm alive, really. Exams officially starting tomorrow...so not looking forward to it.. *sighs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will be cleaning up the clutter in this LJ sometime soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</content>
