Warning: THIS POST IS 屑, 屑 and THEN SOME MORE 屑:
ahahahaha today I created a document chronology until I made myself quite sick from all the document-to-screen-to-document, and I brought more of them home. BUT I was going to say something:
There was this story my Mom told me which I found hilariously funny. My mom was talking to her technician one day, and her technican was telling her about how she despaired of her little boy, who was about five or six years old, and according to his mother, demonstrated (in her opinion) negligible conversational skills, especially when talking to other people. But that wasn't all. "I hope he'll be all right," she said, to my Mom, "He wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. He's already wandering around the house with a spanner trying to fix things."
And all this at the age of five or six.
Younger inclinations don't always lead to the child's future profession, but sometimes, it is said, you can just tell. I am not entirely sure this sort of career prediction-based-on-childhood-predilicti
(1) read a lot
(2) thought a lot
Imagine, if you will, that my given name was Tsunayoshi. This is what would happen when my Mom caught me doing nothing at the age of five.
Mom: "What's Tsuna doing?"
Me: *looks at her* "Tsuna's thinking."
I have absolutely no recollection of this and absolutely no idea of what I could have been thinking about. BUT THERE YOU HAVE IT.
(3) corrected people a lot
THIS sometimes DISTURBED PEOPLE (unless they were my mom, in which case, it amused her), i.e. because all this happened when I was three:
Uncle, trying to get me to talk: *points at fish on plate* "Fish! Fish!"
Me: *stares at him in mild disgust* "Pomfret."
Uncle: D:
(or this one)
*after an accident with some food that had landed, via human accident, on the couch*
Mom: "Oh. The jelly dropped."
Me: *eyes her* "Fell."
(4) was terribly opinionated, despite small size
(this, when I was four)
A family friend's sister, a fascinating chain-smoking lady, had come to visit. She lit up in the house, at which I'd stared at her, and promptly come over.
Me (at four, to my parents' horror and subsequent shushing and apologising): "Don't you know smoking is bad for you?!"
(what an obnoxious brat)
Cigarette-Smoking Lady: *took one look at me* *laughed and laughed* "I certainly have all the evidence before me!"
(5) fought. a lot.
Had two brothers, enough said.
ANYWAY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT contrary to my beliefs, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ABYSS IS NOW AN ANIME, SO I MUST SAY SO NOW. SO HERE GOES:
- The Abyss anime will have 26 episodes.
- Go check out the Abyss teaser trailer: it has FLAILING SCREAMING GUY RECOILING from the Fabre maids. And PRETTY LUKE. ♥ (but then I am weak to Luke like Rolo is weak to Niisan)
- The Abyss anime PV: which has baby!Luke (goddamn you Sunrise, my heart wrenched), a really handsome Guy ♥, and all the amazing stuff you only saw in game CG coming to life in anime.
- Also![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
raethes made this awesome Mieu icon for this OH-SO-ADORABLE scene in the PV where he's BREATHING FIIIIIRE at Luke's enemies, and doing it in such an adorable YAY!!! MIEU IS BEING USEFUL TO MASTER!! fashion. I-want-to-eat-him-all-up. (I have even more love for the icon and Rae's icon-making skills than Mieu is emitting in this icon, which is saying. A LOT.)
-eternal_rena put up these lovely Tales of the Abyss anime character sketches/previews from the Tales Magazine on the community. It's public, so accessible by all, and so pretty. The Luke character sketches and the Guy character sketches made me laugh the hardest. Oh Guy. You and your priceless expressions.
- Tales of the Abyss scanlated on OneManga! ♥ It's by the Wings of an Angel group (they have always been incredibly sweet when asking permission to use scans, and I would TOTALLY scan more if only I had the time T_T)
- Tales of the Abyss Chapter 13 is up, which makes me so happy, because it's one of my favourite chapters. It's the Asch-and-Luke MEMORIES IN THE RAIN chapter. ♥
Also,milk_of_lime did this ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ROLO ARTWORK OVER HERE. No spoilers. But omg, so pretty I COULD CRY WITH JOY.
AH, AND, speaking of which,maiki, your Brave Story doujinshi got here! ♥ I've given Kura her copy, and omg. ♥ The cover is gorgeous, and my favourite story is, um, yours, actually. Because Mitsuru totally needed that. ♥ AHAHAHAHAHA. I kind of grinned like a maniac when reading it, so YEAH. ♥ I'm so happy to be able to own doujin drawn by you. ♥

But this one! ♥ I was always wanting to share this one with the world and tell the world how much I loved it. ♥
Well, in the FUTURE I will have no time... orzAh well, I guess one more fandom won't hurt... I think.
But seriously speaking, though. I think that the only people who can truly say they have no time are the mothers working full-time, doing a night course, and raising young children. (I've seen them, and I wonder how they survive.)
XDXDXDXDXD HOW DOES FANDOM HURT. ;)
It just FEELS like no time?
That is very true - if I were them I'd probably break down after a month or two.
It hurts, because because because um - oh well, I guess I'll have to start allocating time to individual fandoms instead of looking at each one everyday...
And I always correct older people around me too, to my parents' horror; I remember being indignant at Qing Ming because my grandma was burning paper offerings to my grandfather, and in a plastic bag no less and I'd be D< EVERY YEAR until my relatives finally gave in because I said that burning plastic was carcinogenic and they persuaded my grandma to burn offerings in a paper bag instead, orz.
from one pair of FAKE!siblings to another pair of FAKE!siblings [ICON]
But then I say that because I DID THE SAME THING and I didn't consider myself weird.
UNLESS YOU MEAN THE WALKING ABOUT WAS WEIRD, in which case, yes, yes, IT WAS.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU HAVE CHANGED FAMILY CULTURE. AND SAVED THE WORLD. ;) ALL WHILE BEING A CHILD.
FAKE!siblings? Why yes, plz!
...I also read in class, and got my book confiscated, orz. No, that wasn't the weird part, it was the walking about XD
XD Well at least now my relatives are all like, oh, okay, it's part of the green thing etc etc and try to understand.
YOU AND ME ARE LIVING PROOF THAT ADULTS DON'T ALWAYS KNOW BEST? XDDDDD
FISH!
......... now that you mention it.
omg such an obnoxious child. WOULD HAVE SMACKED SELF.
but you must admit you were a slightly different case
:D
♥ WELCOME BACK! ♥
Re: but you must admit you were a slightly different case
Everyone was thinking doctor because of my interest in ailments and diseases (I think it was because I was bloody sick) and I was thinking neurologist until sec 3 smacked me in the face haha
I was waiting for you to jump back into Abyss fandom ♥ ♥ DID YOU SEE LITTLE ASCH. I bet you that's how post-Akzeriuth Luke will look like *doki doki*
EEEE NEUROLOGIST. ♥ (XDXDXDXD a profession near and dear to my heart!)
WHAT JUMP BACK XDXDXDXDXDXD In my heart I never left. (XD ROFL, like I never truly leave any of the fandoms I love).
EEEEEE SO CUTE AND SO STUBBORN and you captured Asch's spirit perfectly. WHAT A SULKY BOY. He looks so much like the both of them right there (but then I think Asch and Luke look very different): the vivid green eyes, THAT MOUTH THAT'S ALL ASCH, the clothes, everything! :D
POST-ACZELIUS LUKE WILL BE CUTER ♥ Because he's watashi no Luke.
<33333
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANIMATED!
OH HAPPY HAPPY DAY~! ^0^
Oh and YOU WERE SO SMART AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE.
All I ever responded to questions were along the lines of:
'Pretty sparkles!'
'Pretty dress!'
'Cute bunny!'
(And I still think I do. *Headdesk*)
YOU WERE SO CUTE
(eeeee but I love that you still do. ♥ SOCUTE. I UH, KIND OF DO THAT TOO.)
omg would have pinched your cheeks, except not, because I hated having my cheeks pinched when I was a kid. It hurt.
THEY'RE TOTALLY GONNA BE ANIMATED. ♥ I CAN'T WAIT, IT WILL BE AWESOME. (OR SO I HOPE)
I-I still call fish.... fish. OTL
IT'S PERFECT. ♥ HEARTS EVERYWHERE. IT CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF MIEU AND MIEU'S BURNING GENKI LOVE FOR MASTER SO WONDERFULLY. ♥
BUT YOU WOULD BE CORRECT TO CALL IT FISH. ♥
WHAT IS MIEU WITHOUT SOME LOVE? IN THAT EXACT CAP, I COULD FEEL THE LOVE AND DEDICATION MIEU EMITS. HIS MASTER KICKS ME , STEPS ON ME, PUNCHES ME, & SITS ON ME, BUT I DON'T CARE, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MASTER SHOWS HIS LOVE FOR ME ♥ AURA IS STRONG.
Someday my child is going to ask me:
child: MOMMY WHAT IS THIS
obasan!raethes: THAT IS A FISH, DEAR.
child: BUT WHAT KIND OF FISH?
obasan!raethes: UM. ............... DON'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS, JUST EAT YOUR FISH.
you said it so perfectly. ~ ♥
HIS MASTER KICKS ME , STEPS ON ME, PUNCHES ME, & SITS ON ME, BUT I DON'T CARE, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MASTER SHOWS HIS LOVE FOR ME ♥ AURA IS STRONG.
THIS, IS SO PERFECT. ♥
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD oh my God, poor Mieu! The ULTIMATE ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP: and he is genuinely so happy. LIKE HOW UPSET he was when Luke wouldn't call him BUTAZARU anymore.
I BET YOUR KID WOULD BE SO CUTE. ♥ *PINCHES THE CHEEKS OF SAID FUTURE CHILD*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You can direct the questions of said future child to me. XDDDDDDDDDDD
I BET YOU WERE A CUTE KID WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG, TOO. ♥
But kid with spanner is cute (totally no bias there), and so is the kid!you. XDD
That is thinking extremely far ahead.
You have good foresight :D
must... use... spanner... icon...
but kid with spanner is cute (totally no bias there)
I know, right? ♥ SO FUNNY. But, I kind of fear for what his idea of "fixing" something would be.
♥ THANK YOU ~ ♥
ALSO I LIKE YOUR CHILDHOOD AMBITION. So cute and so precocious, you. ♥
I found a site yesterday with all the CG episodes... actually I'll just link you to it too cuz they have subbed Baccano! up till 13. The ones on the private server are not subbed although there's 14-16 where Graham appeared. >:
and yes!! Tales of the Abyss anime~ I really can't wait~~ ahhhh Luke~ I wanna see you again ;_;~!
and awwww everyone's getting the Brave Story doujinshi and we didn't get it yet LOL
Me: *stares at him in mild disgust* "Pomfret."
Uncle: D:
HAHHAHA, this is like that... add for whatsits milk or something where the father went "Flower, flo-weeeeeeeer" and the kid went "Orchid!".
In any case my inclination was always writer-y funnies somehow D: D: D: .
ORCHID INDEED. ;) But even then I thought the ad was SO OBNOXIOUS. XD
Writer-y funnies are great, no? ;)
My mother tells me, even though I have NO recollection of this whatsoever, that when once I learned to talk, I forgot to learn to SHUT UP and used to TALK NON STOP and tell people stories ALL THE TIME. Apparently my relatives found this hilarious. XD
What I DO remember is that people used to tell me "I should be a writer", and I had no idea why until my mother told me about the rest. XD
I pretty much have this icon to talk to you
OH GOD LITTLE!YOU was so cute. SEE, THE STORYTELLING, IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD. You were born to tell stories. IT IS IN YOU BEFORE YOUR EARLIEST MEMORIES!
... I wish I had been ACTUALLY around you when you were a child so I could hear your stories. OR BETTER YET WRITE THEM DOWN. (HEY, I STILL CAN, but your childhood stories were special!)
I used to write when I was a kid! I had a book in my grandfather's room and I'd go in there all the time and write a new story. I had this notebook when I was about six or seven and I'd write new stories in it once in a while. I remember even at that age thinking that some of them were not very good (one of them was actually factually incorrect, I think, because I had orchids propogating via seeds)
Re: I pretty much have this icon to talk to you
HEY, REMEMBER CONSTANTINE? I'M PRETTY SURE I POSTED FIC WHILE YOU WERE STILL MOSTLY IN THE FANDOM??? Admittedly, it was terrible fic. orz Not that the Xanxus one is any better, ahaha.
I wish someone actually remembered the stories I told too, because I am very curious. But on the other hand, it might make me die of embarrassment. XDXDXD Though what amazes most people about this anecdote is really the concept that once upon a time I was a... Very Talkative Person. XD WHERE DID ALL THOSE WORDS GO?!!11!
CANNOT STAND IT, WENT TO UPLOAD AVATAR ICONS.
I sort of had you figured as the kind of little kid who learnt to read as soon as she started breathing. ;)
I think I do still have the stories I wrote! ... somewhere. ALL VERY EMBARRASSING. I can tell you the orchid one, it was about an orchid that watched birds fly by and died and left its seeds to start on the next generation. It was about the passage of time, and I remember, very clearly, that the last line of the story was, "But by then the old orchid was dead." I remember thinking that the story was more depressing than I'd intended it to be.
I WISH THEY REMEMBERED YOUR STORIES, TOO. They must have been very cute. AS CUTE AS YOU.
*grin* I don't know, this "once upon a time you were talkative" thing. I don't really see you as a Very Quiet Person, or even a Quiet Person, really, but rather as someone who chooses when to talk. So it's more like you just got more selective about who you told your stories to. ;)
I should upload more icons, but have not decided which ones I want yet XD;;
(XDXDXD)
Hahaha oh man, I'm not sure cute is the right word. I bet I must have been ANNOYING AS HELL TOO. XDXDXD
And I didn't learn to read earlier because, well, no one taught me to. So instead I was a TERRIBLE TV ADDICT. Who grew up into a BOOK ADDICT and then EVOLVED!!! into... an Internet addict. orz
No, d00d, I am absolutely terrible at making conversation, I do not talk because I NEVER KNOW what to say. XD So I just XD-ed unhelpfully. It is easier to tell stories by writing them down. *EMO*
you make me so sad, Pei Yi
I know right? So deep and smart: and then grew up to be so shallow and SILLY. ;)
HAHAHAHAHA!! I was Book Addict from Beginning, then Internet Addict, later in life. *HIGH-FIVE* I only missed the TV Addict stage.
DON'T WORRY PEI YI ♥ THE HEART UNDERSTANDS WITHOUT WORDS. WE LOVE YOU REGARDLESS. ♥

STOP PIMPING THESE THINGS. D: You are SHOVING all this potentially awesome stuff in my face and a-levels are 1.5 months away! ;_;
I am amused that I now know what you look like, what your nickname is, and lots of other things. I have become a CREEPY INTERNET STALKER, whut. ;_;
NOW OFFICIALLY TERRIFIED (and sob, an actual question)
... also is it not horrifying the amount of personal information on myself I have put on the Internet... *goes weak* *also, mind racing*
I imagine you'd have found out the nickname from
(But, omg. Is it all right if I ask how you found out what I look like? ;_; Am now wondering Who else can see those pictures?)
CLEARLY the solution to this whole Internet stalker problem is that we must somehow contrive to meet IRL so that you will not be a creepy Internet stalker: instead, you will become The Friend That I Met On the Internet! HAHAHAHAHA. I call this the Unorthodox Method, other people call it WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CRAZY.
If it makes you feel better, though: I'm, uh, probably an even worse Internet stalker, except, uh, not as honest as you.
ALSO IT IS REALLY AWESOME STUFF, THOUGH. GEASS! AND ABYSS! IT'S ALL GOOD! ♥ I WANT TO SHARE THE LOVE WITH THE WORLD. ♥
Right before I retire for the evening. You are having comment luck.
(Actually, it would be far more accurate to say that I know what you look like dressed as Spanner. *smacks self*)
I have never put my real name or varients thereof anywhere on my journal. It's quite unique, so if someone googled me the lone LJ result among all the dead french painters would give me away. /fear :pppp
TEMPT ME NOT. *sleeps, resisting your THRALL*
.... YOU RETIRE FOR THE EVENING AT 10PM?!
NOW I SOUND SO OLD.
It was supposed to -
Why wouldn't it fool anyone who... wasn't you. :(((((((((
I guess I figured out it'd be not-that-easy to connect me and, yeah. This LJ is not even on the community, and I'm very inactive Reborn-wise with this journal. UH. You'd have to, um, know me and be on the community and be paying attention to find out.
I JUST DIDN'T FIGURE ON YOU
*buries face in hands* I NEVER figured you for one of those who, you know, actually looked at those posts on the community. In my head you only read fic and only if it is good. ;)
ohdamnit I should have screened those comments. *laughing so hard* But thank you for telling me. ♥
! Dead French painters, eh? ;) You must have a beautiful name.
Also, I am riiiiight on the other end of the scale from you: my name and variants thereof are so common that a Google search turns up millions of people who are all not me (although all very fascinating).
I get up at 5.30. D:
It's pretty easy to figure out that the lovemafia and aefallen are the same person. Lacewood's use of your name gives it away. Also right before I friended you you were posting about cosplay, and dressing up as Spanner. (I have a friend who went as Agito to that event, and another who went in a Hogwarts uniform- small country. XDDD) <--- CREEPY INTERNET STALKER ;_;
Also, this is the internet. We have nothing better to do than pay attention. That is why we scrutinize foreign animation for signs of homoeroticism. XD
I do only tend to read fic. Or recognizable names. I have a phobia of comm entries from my spell in Tenipuri. But it was the Little Red Dot representing, and the girl who cosplayed Chrome is really pretty. /shallow
It's a nice name. :D However I have realized that if you google the shortened form, you come up with an acronym for an STD. XDDDD
I guess that's why my relatives thought I'd be a teacher for sure, because I started out asking "Why?" to everything on TV and by the time I was five I was like "You know why? I'LL TELL YOU WHY!"
Hahaha, I think I was obnoxious at times too when I was a kid. I threw my dad's ciggies and lighter down the chute when I was around four after nagging him for days on the negative effects of smoking XD Those were the days when no-smoking ads were all over TV, I guess. Dad figured if a kid like me could understand that smoking was bad, he as an adult ought to know better and quit lol.
I remember I read a lot as a kid but had difficulties using the words I learnt because I couldn't pronounce them so I ended up mispronouncing a lot when trying to expand my vocabulary XD Especially the word 'idiot'. It was quite funny :D
No one thought I'd become a mere teacher/lowly musician though XD
