Week Ending January 24, 2009

Dear Chichiri,

Difficulties. Mom wants my room. DX;

Something fun happened today. Doctor's appointment. Well, I have a hole in my eardrum, might have mono, had blood drawn and I passed out. Today was eventful. Aside from that, I now have origami paper, Black Black Gum, Kancho, and two new manga. I say the good outweighs the bad, but I'm crazy. : D

Kaguya-Hime

Dear Chichiri,

hi, no da!

I'm Sakuma Ryuichi no da! Call me Ryu-chan, okay no da? I don't like being called Sakuma-san, it makes me feel old na no da.

I have heard your songs. You have a totemo pika-pika singing voice no da! Ochanoko Saisai Hengen Jizai and Kachoufuugetsu are pika-pika songs no da! Mizu Kagami isn't pika-pika, but your voice when singing it is na no da! I don't like sad songs, they're pika-pika ja nai no da...

Oh, Kuma-chan wanted to say something too! *holds up pink bunny plush named Kumagoro* He says he likes your songs too no da!

Well, I gotta go now, there's a concert on in about ten minutes no da. Bye-bye no da!!

Ryu-chan and Kuma-chan

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hey guys! ^_^ How's it going? My third quarter finals ended today, and now comes the part we're all dreading... HONOR RANKIIIINGS! *dumdummmmm*

But before all that, have you heard about metamaterials? They sort of form a mirage in such a way that it makes you invisible. O_O Yeah, the science guys (LOLz why'd I say that?) are working on a real invisibility cloak using metamaterials. And Ron said real cloaks were rare...

SuzakuAngel

Dear Chichiri,

re: squee

Hahaha! Awesome! I guess he was also amazed by all the reactions of the people. I mean, who wouldn't?

frikey

Dear Chichiri,

hey there! How are you?

I have finally had a chance to watch more episodes of Fushigi Yuugi as I got the DVDs the other day. I love when you go chibi, especially since everybody else notices it as well! Like when you had the appearance of Nakago and when caught in the act, you became chibi, left quickly and a guard called "after that demented chibi general!". Not that I like the demented part of course. You make a very kawaii chibi!

Actually, there is somebody else with that particular habit that comes to mind. Amano Ginji from Get Backers. There was a scene he was chibi throughout most of it, and Clayman actually picked him up off the table and held him as if he was a living plush doll. And when he glomps his friends they don't buckle under his weight because they can tell he's a chibi at that moment.

And... inspiration has struck again, now if only it wasn't a difficult task to pull off... I was thinking of making an AMV of moments you go chibi and add in Ginji for good measure. But, it's a difficult task for me, so I might just create another fanart instead. This one won't take as long as my other project, so once I find my coloured pencils, I'll get to work on it.

Catch you next time, Chichiri! See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

I could not stop CRAVING fruit after that raspberry. DX Thank goodness we have a pomegranate! As for the letter, I'll be sure to inform you. (And most likely everyone I know until they tire of me.)

However, I'm a bit sad... My sister is moving out into the building, and I'll be getting her room. But that means sacrificing the perfect view of the sunrise, and the moon... I don't want that. It's the most beautiful thing in the world, and when I listen to my Chopin collection... I can just hear the sun sing me a story... I could never give this up. But I may have to...

Kaguya-Hime

Dear Tamahome,

*lightly punches his arm* Not that way, silly. I meant "mean" as in "oh-come-on-please-don't-give-me-those-cute-puppy-dog-eyes" mean. Let's say... angsty. (LOLz animal angst? What in the world is that?)

Anyway, I'm working on a new fic, spawned after I took an exam earlier (Haha, whaaaaat?), centered on the song "Lucky". It's really schweet. (Oh no! I'm turning into the Francis guy from Super Paper Mario! AAAAAH!) But it'll be set, not in the 90s as all my FY fics are, but just about last year. ^_^

SuzakuAngel

Dear Nuriko,

hi hi, Nuri-chan!

I was wondering... what is it that you have a fear of?

I myself have a few, and here they are.

First, I am afraid of thunderstorms. One night, a tornado hit our town (and we're in a tornado-free zone I might add!) and the storm leading to it and during it was huge! Hailstones, huge winds, lots of thunder and lightning, the power all over the town went out, so after dinner we just went to bed. But, ever since that night, storms seem to bring out the worst in me. I'm getting a bit better with them now, just as long as I'm not outside in it and the power hasn't gone out. Oh, our house was thankfully not in the tornado's path, so we were safe. It was still scary though.

Next, I am afraid of riding horses. I was almost pigrooted (bucking without lifting feet off ground) off my friend's horse, and I was already feeling more than a little anxious, though I tried not to. I'm fine near horses as long as they're placid, but I can never get up the nerve to ride again.

I'm also afraid of spiders, and for good reason! Here in Australia, we have two of the deadliest spiders in the world: the Redback and the Sydney Funnel Web. I've even been bitten by a couple; one was without me noticing until it started to burn, it was a Whitetail bite. And then a couple of years ago I was having a bath and put my leg where I shouldn't have, a Black House spider bit me, but the worst they give to people (unless they're allergic to them) are headaches and nausea. And when I was a small child, there was a huge Huntsman spider on our kitchen floor. Mum had to get it out, our pup Bumpy was barking at it and my brother and I were huddled on a chair. I'm getting a bit better with this one, if the spider's not dangerous nor anywhere near me, I can tolerate them.

I am terrified of heights, which helps contribute to my dislike of riding horses. There is a tower on top of a tall hill and I'm trying to conquer climbing that. But, as of late, I can't even stand on a chair without becoming anxious...

Finally, my greatest fear, and yet one that will always face me, losing my loved ones. After losing Mum, I became terrified at the thought of losing Dad too. We lost Nan (Mum's mum) the same year Mum passed away and it was a huge reality slap in the face for me. Whenever Dad's late home from work without giving word, I always dread something had happened. One year, something had happened, he should've called to tell us, I was panicking! (Didn't help it was the day before my mother's birthday) He'd suffered a nasty steam burn at work and was late because he was in the hospital getting it treated. He never called and I was beside myself. I rushed out to greet him when he'd come home and I just burst into tears for the third time in an hour when I saw the bandage. He still hasn't learned to call me to let me know if he'll be late so I won't be beside myself worrying about his safety. Then of course there was when my brother became ill late last year and had to undergo numerous tests; the results were bronchitis and tonsilitis, both of which he is still on antibiotics for (he's a smoker and so keeps aggravating his condition). And Pa had a cancer scare last year too, but it turned out to be nothing at all in the end, but I see him practically everyday and while we do sometimes find ourselves quarreling, I'm pretty close to him, so it was unbearable to hear him talking with Dad about adjustments to his will.

And I went on again, didn't I? I'll end it there then, I've said what my fears are, even if I did give more than a basic history lesson about each of them.

Till next time, Nuri-chan, ja ne!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Hotohori,

hello there.

I am relieved you found it amusing. Yes, my subconscious picked up the fact that both you and Nuriko are very beautiful men, and so that's why you were both chosen.

There is a day approaching called Australia Day. It marks the day Australia became a governed nation back in 1901. As such, it is a public holiday, and while some people do attend the important ceremonies to mark such an anniversary, other people prefer to watch the cricket (that'd be what my father will do), go to the public pools as admission is free (my brother might do that), have a barbeque (my friends might do that)... my grandfather and I go to the lake to check out the festivities. Sometimes we stay for when the flag is raised up the flagpole, but only if the weather is kind to us. Over the last couple of years it has been too hot...

Is there a special day like that in Kounan?

By the way, interesting fact, most Australians know the words to a song called Waltzing Matilda, moreso than people who know the national anthem Advance Australia Fair. We're taught the anthem in primary school, and at my old school, every Monday morning, as well as on Rememberance Day, we'd raise the flag while singing the anthem. It was always members of the student council who rose the flag, while members of choirs in the area would lead in singing. I was leading solo in my final year there.

Okay, that's it from me for now. See you next time, Hotohori-sama!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Nuriko,

hi hi, Nuri-chan!

Hehe, if you think my dream was bizarre, then you should hear Tash's dreams. They always become so weird, and she always has a new one to tell me about when I see her.

That episode has to be my fave for the series. I would advise you check it out. Since you've been reading the manga, you'd know the main characters. It's not part of any major storyline, it's one of those "let's bring some humour before things become much more serious concerning the Hachiyo of Byakko, Suzaku and Genbu trying to find their gods' seals" episodes.

I was watching it with Tash, and she often makes comments like "slap him/her" even if they're her fave character. There was a scene in which the fourth chamberlain was crying in the middle of the street and Inori stopped him with a firm kick in the back. Anyway, Tash said "tell that guy to shut up" and what do you know? Inori's next line was "*sigh* Shut up!" Of course Tash was pleased and I just cracked up then and there.

Tash is one of my best friends, and she's also like a younger sister to me. If I may, I'd also like to consider you one of my friends as I feel I can share anything with you. You've helped me out a lot here since my first letter concerning my choices of clothing, and I greatly appreciate all of it.

See ya next time, Nuri-chan!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

re: Seki-san

Well, when i saw that video i surely 'sqeed' (ugh it sounds like 'squid' haha) too. I mean, I didn't know a guy could even shrink his voice like that!

Frikey

Dear Hotohori,

hello there!

I'd like to share one of my interesting crossover dreams with you since it involved you. I've also told Nuri-chan and he found it to be rather amusing. Here's what happened...

Both you and Nuri-chan sensed something bad concerning a fashion disaster and so asked Chichiri to take you to the Tsuchimikado manor. And that's where you three met the Hachiyo, and while Chichiri spoke with them, you and Nuri-chan helped Eisen with his look for the plan that evening by fixing his hair and applying some make-up, that sort of thing. Then you, Nuri-chan and Chichiri returned to Kounan.

My subconscious chose both you and Nuri-chan for the task because you're both very beautiful men, it just worked I guess.

I hope it amused you as much as it did Nuri-chan...or even just a little...

Also, Classic Rock... I love The Beatles' from that genre, as I've already told Chichiri.

Gotta go now. See you next time, Hotohori-sama.

Btamamura-chan

Dear Nuriko,

hi hi, Nuri-chan! How are you?

I am relieved you found that amusing, I was a little worried... I'll have to see how Hotohori-sama would react.

Anyway, my dreams are sometimes influenced by what I watch before bed. I was watching the onsen omake from OVA 1, and I had thoughts of a certain story from Haruka.

The story is about the fourth chamberlain being in love with a young woman named Akanehime, who looks almost exactly like Akane herself! But, his family won't permit him to marry her, fearing it would be bad for their family honour. When Akane and some of the Hachiyo learn about that and saw just how heartbroken the young lovers were, a plan was formed. Akanehime would be sent to live with a priest, so the plan was to kidnap her. Yorihisa and Shimon were thieves (and Yorihisa's reaction to getting that role was priceless, first he's reluctant, then decides with all seriousness if that's what Akane wants, he'll be a thief). Tenma was the false chamberlain and Akane was going to be Akanehime, but the Hachiyo were adamantly against it. Eisen suggested one of the Hachiyo should dress as the princess, and so he was assigned that role (he wasn't very pleased about that) since he was beautiful enough. Anyway, they managed to kidnap Akanehime and get her back with her true love. (The priest actually asked Eisen to marry him and so Tenma had to smack the old guy unconscious.) The only reason the fourth chamberlain and Akanehime were able to wed was because Yasuaki pretended to read their fortune in the stars saying all would be well, and so the couple were wed.

Then a subconscious thought created that dream. Both you and Hotohori-sama sensed something bad concerning a fashion disaster and so asked Chichiri to take you to the Tsuchimikado manor. And that's where you three met the Hachiyo, and while Chichiri spoke with them, you and Hotohori-sama helped Eisen with his look for the plan that evening by fixing his hair and applying some make-up, that sort of thing. Then you, Hotohori-sama and Chichiri returned to Kounan.

Okay, and I've gone on and on again... *sweatdrops and giggles* See ya next time, Nuri-chan! Bye!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

hey there!

Thanks for the hug. I'll be alright, I hope.

I read through your list and I just have to say this... *smacks self on forehead* Watashi wa baka desu! I can't believe I forgot The Beatles were in the Classic Rock genre! I've been a fan of them for so long, ever since I was seven! My mother helped influence me when we saw Yellow Submarine, and before Christmas I found a DVD of Magical Mystery Tour. For my eleventh birthday, my parents even bought me a book all about them that included a tribute to the late John Lennon. My favourite Beatles' song of all time has to be Nowhere Man.

There was also a time in my grade six class my teacher suddenly handed out lyrics sheets for a song we'd be singing to. I was the only one singing because I was more than a little familiar with it. The song was When I'm Sixty-four. My classmates were surprised I actually knew it, the teacher wasn't, he knew I loved listening to The Beatles.

Oh well, that's not to say I can't, but thanks for the luck anyway, I do need it for a few songs lately. My father often hears me sing along to Japanese songs, I even sing Metcha Hajikete Guts Tobashite while hanging up the washing, and I've been singing to Kachoufuugetsu and Mizu Kagami for a little while now. It's just sometimes when a song has skip-speeds I find it hard to keep up and need much practice to get it right.

Anyway, I'd better get going now. See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

I'm ready to smack someone... I've been sick as a dog lately, if I hear one more godforsaken word glorifying Twilight in my own god d*mn house, I'm gonna honest to god smack whichever idiot said it. My current comfort is I sent my letter to J.K.Rowling, I'm working more on Awakening, started a new story for Glimmer Train, and I've very quickly taken to dolling. In fact, I want to share with you my latest. That raspberry was a nightmare.

Kaguya-Hime

Dear Tamahome,

*Whew!* Glad you liked the idea. I already started on it yesterday, but I think you were too nice to the puppy... I'll mean you up. XD Oh, yeah--Jason and Colbie: Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. Singers of "Lucky".

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

LOLz I was kidding about the winks, guys. It's just that Mom and I have got awesome "gay-dars", and it seems that they've gotten a bit too sensitive. It's all in good fun. :)

Oh, yeah... I forgot I wanted to take Psych. >_< At least it pays off with the swanky office and snazzy formalwear. Well, not really... semi-formal will do. And comparative anatomy sounds awful from where my ears are. *sigh*

Soooo, the first day's exams are over, so I'm gonna take a nice, big, three-hour deep breath. Stupid nonexistent artistic skills... I can't even draw a proper star to save my life. I had two bags of chips and such... and, yeah...

Well, I'll write to you next time when my brain's actually not feeling lazy. o_O I don't even know what the heck that is...

SuzakuAngel

Dear Chichiri,

Hey there. Veron said, "Are you cute?" :p There you go.

SuzakuAngel

Dear Hotohori,

XD Hori, it was new years and Damian only ate one.. >_>; Plus, the person who drugged the brownies was like.. @_@ insane-ish.. and I dont even know that guy xD He's my friend's friend.. >_>; or whatever Lol And she didn't even know he drugged them >_>; Thatt was one h*lla weird New Years.. I'll tell you that much.. .__.;

Damian is like usually stupid like that anyways.. >_>; Like 2 days ago when we went to the park with my other friend Christina, he brought little Toy Cars including a Firetruck... He was like Let's play Fire Fighters! >>; Christina was like ".... I DON'T KNOW THEM!!! -Gets in car and drives off leaving Damian and "Tsuki" at park.- we just looked at each other and shruged than played with the cars. :3 I even had a pic of him in my phone pushing the firetruck down the Park's Slide.. >_>; The little kids were looking at us like "o.O and they're supposed to be our role models?" XD!

>_>; So yeah.. also like.. yesterday, he texted me during class, than I asked "Wanna go sing the Barney song in the middle of the mall?" and he text back, "You read my mind!" XD so we went to the mall and stood on a couple boxes and began to sing the Barney song.. >_>;

When we got home, my grandma was like "Where were you two?!" and he was like "o.o.. Singing the Barney song in the middle of the mall! We even got money! See? -Shows her the money.-" >_>; I swear.. Damian's retarded.. and he didn't know on new years what the brownies had drugs in them, no one did, he just saw what my grandma was doing and wanted to try. >_>; XD!!

So yeah.. don't be mad at him! D: It was New Years where most get drunk an stuff.. >_>; the adults offered us Champagin or whatever for cheers to a new year.. >_>; I only took one glass because it was already poured and there wasnt much in it, plus ive never tryed it either so i was curious. and Damian had like 2 or 3. Lol But he wasnt drunk.. >_>;

I'm glad your New Years was "Normal" >_>; Wish mine was.. Although it was amusing watching Damian talk to Plastic Bottles and walls. :3 XDD!

~OmgItsTsukiChan!~

Dear Tasuki,

Of course I asked you! Everyone knows you're my favorite. And who else would I ask? Tamahome? HAHAHAHAA!!! Hilarious... Anyway, thanks for the input. Have some sake *forks over a bottle*

Faye

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Akane: Hello, minna-san! The Hachiyo all have a few words they'd like to say to each of you! *turns to Tenma* Tenma-kun, would you like to begin?

Tenma: Sure. You've all been doing very well protecting Miaka, and Tamahome, I'm glad she returned your affections. To be honest, I'm still waiting for Akane's response.

Yorihisa: I admire your devotion.

Shimon: I agree with Tenma-senpai, you are doing very well.

Inori: Ditto on the whole protecting Miaka thing.

Tomomasa: *holds folded fan* Oh, but you're all still children! To me at least.

Takamichi: *turns to Tomomasa* Tomomasa-dono! *turns to seishi* I apologise, Tomomasa-dono was teasing you. Hotohori-sama, I admire your devotion to not just your miko, but also your country. Tamahome-dono, I also admire your devotion for Miaka-dono.

Eisen: I agree with Takamichi-dono on both accounts. Hotohori-sama, I have said this before, but you are a splendid emperor. Tamahome-dono, your devotion to Miaka-dono shows just how much you are in love with her. *turns to Yasuaki* Yasuaki-dono, will everything be alright in their future?

Yasuaki: Mondai nai. You have all come so far from when you first met and helped to protect your miko, your future shows much promise. *turns to Chichiri* You are very skilled with your incantations and barriers. *puts one up to prevent Kotengu from flying into him*

Akane: And there you have it! I'd also like to say something... Miaka-san is fortunate to have all of you as her guardians. Of course, I too am thankful for who was chosen to be my Hachiyo. But, not everybody is fortunate to have guardians who will actually protect who they were destined to protect, not with good hearts at least. Anyway, we'd better go now, Fujihime-chan is calling for us, something's up. Ja ne!

*Akane and Hachiyo bow before making their way to the Tsuchimikado manor*

Akane and the Hachiyo

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

hello, minna-san! How are you all? Good? I hope so...

Okay, concerning my letter with Haruka seiyuu, here are the folks you didn't recognise and who they were in FY (remember, I'm doing it for not just the anime, but the CD drama books and the otome game).

I will soon begin work on that fanart too, been practicing drawing all of you as well as the outfits. Knowing that you're looking forward to seeing it is helping to motivate me, so thanks for that!

Gonna go now! See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan! How are you?

Oh, no need to apologise for making me cry. Any songs I associate with someone's passing always makes me cry. I still find it hard to hear Matchbox Twenty's song 'If You're Gone' as that was played at my friend's funeral, and I burst into tears in choir practice when singing 'The Lord Is My Shepherd' since that was played at Mum's funeral.

I think you might be fortunate enough to find some short versions of the Haruka songs on youtube. I'm quite partial to the song Kageri no Fuuin by Ishida Akira as Yasuaki myself, and there are two versions too, so that makes it even better! *squee*

By the way, I watched episode 33 again this morning, and I instantly burst into tears when you... That's not to say I wasn't near tears when watching the fight, I think my father even heard me gasp out "no..."

Also, I'm really glad you're looking forward to reading my fic. I'm feeling more motivated to finish it now. Sometimes I write stories about my dreams (since most are about anime anyway) and one day, I wrote a crossover between Fushigi Yuugi and Haruka. Not much happened, and it's a fic I may not share, but it involved you and Hotohori-sama helping Eisen out when he had to dress as a fake princess... yeah, my dreams can get to be pretty "interesting"...

Anyway, good to hear from you! Catch you next time, Nuri-chan!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

hey there! How are you?

When I was writing the letter last time I was in high spirits, but today, not so much. Yesterday was my mother's death anniversary... 12 years... and next week is the first year anniversary of a family friend's passing. Not to mention it's way too hot for my liking, it's 40 degrees celsius this afternoon! It was the same yesterday too.

Classic Rock? Sounds intriguing... can you give me any recommendations as to what songs to listen to?

And yes, I adore Ochanoko Saisai Hengen Jizai, so much I wish I could sing along, but as you said in the song it is difficult. Hopefully when I'm becoming better at singing Japanese in different speeds I'll be able to do so. Please wish me luck, I may need it... I think the only thing I can sing is "Suzaku no Miko wo mamoru tame no shichiseishi" without messing up...

Anyway, gonna go now! Ja ne!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Hotohori,

Heika, I found a picture of you and Houki which by the way is very beautiful, I can't help but to go 'awww!'. I think it is drawn by Watase-sensei herself but can you please translate the text on the upper left side of the sketch? What does it say? I only understand the 'love' text. Thanks in advance your majesty! :) the photo can be found here: http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t176/watsernamekatchich/?action=view¤t=koutei_kisaki.jpg

Frikey

ps. Both of you make the most beautiful couple ever!

Dear Hotohori,

hello there.

I was just reading your response to TsukiChan's letter, and I have to say I am in complete agreement with you.

Last year, my brother, cousin and I were invited to the birthday party of a friend of ours. My brother and I had known her since she was a baby, as Mum would always take us there on weekends before she became too ill. Anyway, I had a bad feeling and so had to decline the invitation. I never ignore my bad feelings, they've always been right.

I saw my aunt, cousin and brother the next day when we were going to see another of my cousins, his girlfriend and their baby son. I learned it was a good thing I didn't go because some idiots spiked a drink with ecstasy pills. One person was hospitalised, I still haven't heard from my brother if they were alright or not, and I learned that my brother, cousin and friend could've died... their blood alcohol levels were through the roof! They appeared healthy the next day, but they really could've died the night before all because of some stupid morons thinking it'd be funny to spike a drink with five, yes, that's right, FIVE ecstacy pills!! My older cousin exclaimed that it was enough to kill somebody... How did it affect everyone else? Those people were drinking from one bottle, tipping their drinks into glasses, so of course everyone would be affected. Even if I did go, I'd be safe, I would have my own can of soft drink (don't like alcohol)... or at least, safe from having my drink spiked... I wouldn't be safe from those affected by it... so it really was a good thing I've learned to always follow my instincts.

Hotohori-sama, please pass this message to everyone else here... please everyone, to avoid a potential fatality or anything else really bad, please follow the advice you've been given to avoid having your drink spiked when at a party, even if you're around your friends, you never know, one idiot at the party may turn your night out into a nightmare...

Thank you for listening.

Btamamura-chan

Dear Tamahome,

Hi... my mind came up with something while I wasn't looking, yet again...

*takes a deep breath* I'm giving you a puppy in one of my fics. o_O I wanted to give you a cat, but a dog seems more you. Anyway, it's a stray puppy you met just when you got home, and you ended up adopting it--it's you as Taka, you see. It's your close companion and you just get around to talking to it when you have nothing better to do. I don't even know what's gotten into me...

So, which breed do you think will be most suited to you? I was thinking either a Labrador or a dalmatian... what do you think?

And by the way, it's a girl puppy, so I'm giving her the name Kiara. Toodles!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hi... I just had chocolate... so I think... a sugar high's coming on... LOLz kidding! ^_^

We tried to make candles today to test them before our school's Science Fair (I was the one who proposed to use candles! ^_^ Yay me!), but it was horrible. -_- We couldn't get the wax to harden fast enough, so I left it under my chair to--HOPEFULY--find it hardened tomorrow morning. If not, there's gonna be H*LL TO PAY! XD Not really.

I've been reading the Harry Potter septology (LOL that's way too technical) again, and I'm currently reading 5... Gah, it doesn't look as good as the other books, it's a bit tattered. And then there's my copy of "Deathly Hallows", which almost got devoured by those irksome termites. Can't help but love 'em, though.

That's all... our week is kinda slow... but this quarter's finals will be starting on Wednesday. :) Bye!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Chichiri,

re: about the velvet underground pv

Oh i see. At first I saw really confused at who's who but I think Miki-san had a dead giveaway at who is he portraying because of of his blond hair. gah i'm so stupid, his character is yoji after all. -_- all of them are kawaii but I find Koyasu-san and Seki-san quite attractive.

Frikey

Dear Chichiri,

Wow! that's awesome! CnA's so lucky to meet Seki-san. He's so kawaii.

Frikey

Dear Tasuki,

Hey! Wow, it's been a while, as always. I'm actually here to ask your opinion on something. I recently started seeing someone. Before him, I'd had one boyfriend. It was only a month long relationship, and we only hung out a few times. I barely even count it as part of my romantic history. So that was about a year and a half ago. Now I'm seeing this new guy, and it's going far FAR better than my last thing. (Of course there's a "but", but that comes later.)

I knew this guy my freshman year of high school. He was a senior at the time. I never really hung out with him or anything back in the day, and after he graduated, I never really thought about him. To me, he was "that one hot guy I went to school with, meh, whatever." So anyway, he asked me out recently (weird, since I hadn't seen him in a million years... but we'd been talking online a bit, so... whatever works, I guess.) Our first date ended up lasting nine hours. And it wasn't like we just sat around and watched movies, either. We were literally just walking around and talking and just being together for that long. We spent a ton of time together over winter break, we were together for New Years (first new years kiss, heck yeah!), and then... and then!!! He had to go back to school, three hours away.

I never thought I'd have something that could end up this way, but we have a relationship that can be described as "complicated".

Here's the skinny-

The long-distance part:

-He lives 3 hours away

-He has work, and gas is expensive, so it's not like he can drive down every weekend

-I don't have my own car, so I can't go visit him all the time either

-But I'll be visiting for Valentine's, and he'll be back spring break, and summer for sure -Unless he gets hired somewhere, and has to go to a police academy, but that would only be an hour or so away, and my parents won't be worrying about me driving off the road because of ice.

The relationship part (here's where it gets tricky):

-We love spending time together. We also talk online all the time.

-He's had a long distance relationship before, and it ended with the two of them hating each other.

-He doesn't want to be "in a relationship" with me. (I think he's scared of that phrase)

-He told me, when we were first discussing this, that I could, of course, date other people. I told him I was a one guy kinda gal, and he said "good! because I'm a one gal kinda guy!"

-I've been a little worried he may decide to see other people back down south, and not feel obligated to tell me, since we're not "in a relationship"

-His relationship status on facebook remains unchanged (I just removed mine, so it doesn't say anything either way)

-I've calmed myself down, reminding myself that all his closest friends know we're dating, and his close friends are also really tight with my older brother (which basically makes me, in a way, like family to them)

-I'm doing my best to be endlessly patient, and understanding with this, since I like him A LOT, and am willing to work towards something better. He's also been really understanding and nice to me, never pushing me to do anything I don't want to, feeling free to discuss the idea of a relationship with me, etc, etc...

-We also discuss future meeting plans (Valentine's Day, for instance.)

-He's very honest with me about things I don't necessarily approve of. (Drinking, a past cheating experience (he said he felt so terrible about it that he confessed almost immediately), etc.) It gives me the feeling that if he f**k*d up, he would tell me about it.

I guess I'm just kind of worried about the concept of a long distance relationship minus the pressures of the word "relationship". The people who have talked to me have said long distance is really difficult, and doesn't work unless you're really really in love with each other. When we were first talking about it, he seemed like he wanted to, but was still hesitant, probably from past experiences. I think we can make it work. I can be fairly independent, and we both have school to focus on. I guess what I'm wondering is: am I so excited about this new relationship that I'm fooling myself and missing some sort of major flaw?

Surprised, riiiight? been a while since I actually asked a serious question, no?

Dear Tamahome,

Ha, really? I was bored and had to come up with something. But I did a lot of tracing and math, mind you. *yawns* Now I'm off to theorize other stuff...

The Theorizer

Dear Tamahome,

twitchtwitch* Need. New. Video. For Jason Mraz' song "Lucky". Must--see--Colbie and Jason--cuddling and holding hands... o_O And on top of all that is my stupid laryngitis. *sigh*

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

umm.. guys....have any of you watched code geass yet?? if not google it...

Dear Chichiri,

cute ka ba???

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

This is for Tamahome and Hotohori.

I have noticed that your seiyuu have interesting roles in anime that link to one another...

As for the Weiss Kreuz thing, I'd read that Koyasu-san and Midorikawa-san are best friends, and since Koyasu-san created Weiss, he'd made certain Midorikawa-san had a role in it.

Anyway, just wanted to share that... I'm a seiyuu fangirl and love finding links. See ya!

Dear Chiriko,

hey there!

Have you ever found yourself having trouble with trying to get to sleep? I'm having that right now and the worst plot bunnies strike at this time of night/morning (the sun will rise in an hour...). One had me write a strange fic in which Yasuaki from Haruka becomes obsessed with the Care Bears, much to Tenma's chagrin...

How did you beat it if that happened to you? Any tips on how I can make myself sleep?

Thanks! See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

hey there! Random question! (I blame a scene in Angel that has Spike and Angel arguing about it...)

What is stronger? An astronaut or a caveman?

Told you it was random. *giggles*

See ya!

Dear Nuriko,

hey there!

When I first saw episode 33, I found it hard to listen to your song Kaze no Uta for about a week without breaking down. Dad would often come out into the kitchen to see me crying, but he never asked because he'd never understand if I'd told him. Even months later, it sometimes causes me to cry...

I realised tonight, there was another song that tended to have that same affect on me. You know in Haruka the story about Yorihisa and the Nue? For the anime, during the ED credits, they had a song performed by Yorihisa's seiyuu Miki Shinichirou. The song was called Tsuioku no Mori ni Sasagu. I once heard it in town, and the memories of that episode came flooding back, it took all I had to not cry right then and there.

Anyway, just wanted to share that. See ya!

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Dear Mitsukake,

~OmgItsTsukiChan!~

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

hey there, minna-san! Just sharing some fangirling with you all. :p This time, it's about seiyuu from Haruka. Tell me if you recognise anyone. ~_^

Sorry, but there will be more fangirling, but this one has gained length so I'll have it in another letter, which I won't send until after you've replied to this. I've left a mark next to seiyuu who have appeared in FY. :D

Till next time, see ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

hey there!

GAH! I forgot to place the marks before I sent my last letter, so here are the Haruka seiyuu who I am aware of that have made an appearance in FY (anime, drama and game).

Sorry about that. *sweatdrop and giggle nervously*

Btamamura-chan

Dear Tamahome,

*smiles thoughtfully* I know... it's just that Watase-sensei never made you do it, did she? Well, then, in that case, I'm so happy to have had it materialize... sort of. ^_^" It's really cute... and what's even cuter about it is that it was rather nonchalant.

SuzakuAngel

P.S. Pardon me for butting in, but yeah... you're an awesome fighter... idol! :) *ducks as you chuck Tasuki into the lake*

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

*reads homepage greeting* And the same to you guys!

Since Mom and I were the only people in the house this Christmas, it was rather... quiet. o_o I wasn't used to it, so I guess I can't wait for the next three-hundred-fifty-something days to wane away. She really liked my gift, though--a keychain bearing the words "World's Greatest Mom". Actually, my keychain's starting to give way, so I need a new one too... *clears throat* Anyway, we went shopping for Christmas--bought myself a new flash disk, DVDs of "Order of the Phoenix", "Twilight" and "Sims 2". I watched OotP more intently this time... Sirius? Winking? At Harry? My, my, my, do I sense some queerness here?

My siblings came over, and, as it seems, my sister hasn't grown out of ordering me around yet... and that was while I was readin "Goblet of Fire", too. Ah, well... New Year was rather uneventful--for the first time in living memory. Since when has Bulacan, the Philippines' firework capital, not had a fireworks display on New Year? Then again, it was cold and raining, probably no one felt like it.

Today, we'll be shopping some more, and going ice skating. Toodle-oo!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

hey there, minna-san!

I've plotted out the cosplay fanart in which you're all dressed as Haruka characters. However, I am also including a couple of Seiryuu's seishi and Yui because it just works.

Okay, those who claimed which Hachiyo you're most like, you will be cosplaying as those Hachiyo. Tamahome, on the other hand, you will be cosplaying as Ikutidaru. I decided that it would work for Tama-neko to be Kotengu-chan, and one of the Nyan-Nyans to be Fujihime (imagine if I had Taiitsukun as Fujihime! *shudders and laughs at the same time*). Then of course Miaka will be Akane. I'm designating the role of Eisen to Amiboshi (hey, they both play the flute, that should work), Nakago as Akuram and Soi as Shirin. I might have Suboshi as Sefuru. Oh man, now I need to plan on who will be Tomomasa... maybe I'll have Tokaki when he has a young appearance. *sweatdrop*

When I've finished the artwork (which will take a while as I am certain to make many mistakes) and scanned it, I will share the link with you all.

Ja ne!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Hotohori,

hello, how are you?

There was no need to thank me for my kind words, I was only being honest. ^_^

As I'd just asked Chichiri, I was wondering what your fave music genre and song would be? It's very hard for me to choose a fave song, but I like all genres (minus heavy metal and country/western). Speaking of music, I love your singing voice!

That's all from me for now.

See you next time!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chichiri,

hey there! How are you?

No need to thank me for my kind words last letter, I was only being honest ^_^

I was wondering, what is your fave genre of music? And fave song? I like pop, J-pop, classical... pretty much all genres except heavy metal (too intense) and country/western (my grandfather annoyed me out of it when he played it in the car when I was a kid). It's pretty hard for me to choose my fave song as I have so many. And most of them anyway are anime-related (Ochanoko Saisai Hengen Jizai is one of them).

That's it from me.

See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Tamahome,

hey there, how are you?

Okay then, I'll have you cosplay as Ikutidaru in my fanart. I'll be sure to share the link when it's done.

My brother is now pretty sick, he has tonsilitis you see and he's still waiting for the specialist to call him in for a tonsilectomy. Even on Christmas he was pretty sick, he didn't much of his lunch nor drink very much of fave beverage! If it's not him getting into trouble, its him being more than a little unwell. He never ceases to make me worry about him.

I thought Tama-chan was Nuri-chan's nickname for you! I at first thought it was fanon, but then I vaguely recalled in what I had seen of the anime he had called you that.

Well, that's it from me for now.

See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Tasuki,

hey there! How are ya?

I had a feeling that was the kind of relationship you have with Kouji. It reminds me of the one I have with Tash, and a few years ago, Gabby. Gabby and I had been through a lot together, I was at her house the night Mum passed away, and stayed there until the day of the funeral. She did her best to comfort me during that time. It's wonderful that there are people we can consider more than just our friends but our brothers and sisters as well, isn't it?

That's it from me for now! When you read the group letter, I want to be far away so you don't come after me. *sweatdrop and giggle nervously* Ja ne! *waves and runs*

Btamamura-chan

Dear Mitsukake,

hey there!

Good timing, I'm actually planning on having a check-up in the next couple of weeks. Of course it will mean a blood test to check my anaemia, and that's no good because last one I had, things didn't really go well, and so I'm a bit wary. Hopefully cuddling a plush will help me feel better about it.

I've tried to think of less-negative things when going into a hospital, but it's a bit hard. Mum was in the hospital for at least two-and-a-half years when I was a kid, and so those memories keep getting brought up somehow. Actually, sometimes I find myself glaring at the hospital as I go past. It's pretty much a case of doctors don't realise the real problem until things become worse and then it's almost impossible to treat it... in Mum's case, it was impossible, they tried to have her on chemotherapy, but that was more along the lines of trying to keep her alive for longer, and then it made her much weaker, Dad had to leave work to help her around the house literally. And then there was the night she passed on. I can't help but feel a little angry at the doctors for mistaking Mum's lung cancer for pneumonia, but at first they thought it was just the flu!

Okay, went on without meaning to. Sorry about that. Anyway, as I was saying, it's a little hard for me to think positively when at a place that brings up too many negative memories. I'm trying to beat that problem though and my best friend and "sister" tells me to just "suck it up" but it's a little hard to do that.

Wish me well on the check-up, I may need it. *sweatdrops* See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Chiriko,

hey there! How are you? Thank you for allowing me to address you as Chiri-chan!

I have many, many books here, some I still have yet to read as they were put away until I was older (and now Dad can't remember where they were put or if they're here in the first place). So, I was wondering, what is your favourite book? I can't really decide mine, too many to choose from. *sweatdrops and giggles*

Gotta go now! See ya, Chiri-chan!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Nuriko,

hey there! How are you?

I wish I didn't have to send them to the shelter, but nobody in my neighbourhood is really interested in the kittens. The only people to have collected kittens from here are my brother and his housemate. Hopefully, the shelter can help find them better homes. The shelter here is called the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), so they'll be in good hands... I hope.

I'm glad you'd like to read my fic. It's still in-progress at the moment, but when it's done, I'll give you the link. Here's a taste of it...

"And quit calling me Kyou-chan, I'm not your boyfriend!" He ignored the glares and other cold stares of people walking past them.

"You're not my boyfriend?"

"We're not dating, if that's what you mean."

Nuriko tried to conceal his laughter with little success.

Shun giggled. "No, not like that, Kyou-chan. I mean since we're boys and we're friends. We are friends... aren't we?"

Kyousuke let out an exasperated sigh. "Yeah, we're friends."

Like I mentioned, Kyousuke really isn't that good in social situations. ^_^

I can call you Nuri-chan? Yay! Thank you, Nuri-chan!I almost got a pic of myself in the dress I got for my birthday, but the batteries in my camera died on me, so hopefully next time. Well, that's it for now. Ja ne!

Dear Hotohori,

LMFAO!!! For New Years, My friend's freind brought over some brownies. But he's a nutcase so he drugged them with shrooms.. >_>; My grandma took one not knowing they were drugged, and she like.. jumped up on the table and did that one weird Jim Carey Dance... It scared me.. XD

My friend Damian was like O_O!! COOL!!!! I gotta try one of those!! >_>; So he ate one and like 6 miutes later, he started talking to Plastic Bottles and Plants.. >_>;; Than stripped and ran around the streets naked screeming "THE ALIENS ARE COMMING!!!" Afterwards ran into a Streetpost.. and out for like 2 hours... e____e;;.. ... Moron.. -.-;

xD Gotta love him though. lmao! So, Hori, how was your New Years? What did you do? ^^ I'd really like to know. xD Anything.. >_>; how should say this.. "Weird" happen? such as he Drugged Brownie Incident? e___e.. stupid Damian.. xD Or was it all "Normal?" XD!!

>_>; If you were to throw the word "Normal" at Damian, it'd be like >Tasuki and Water. They don't match xD! He's faaaaaaar from "Normal" >>_>;;;

~OmgItsTsukiChan!~

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! Even though it's like 2 days late... >_>;
