Hum... stuff

Order, order...

My bestest sweetest friend azure_empress is getting married ! And I'm so happy for her, it totally rocks. Congratulation and best wishes May-chan ^^

The other day my friend Aurel wanted to sell of his used japanese manga to a store and I went with him so I could actually find such a nice store as one that sells used mangas and OV mangas.... alas, it seems he was misinformed, and the store didn't buy or sell japanese manga anymore. So we were on for a maratheon across Paris, under the rain, to find a shop which would be interested in all those manga to sell. Eventually, we ended up in the Opera quartier to find a japanese bookstore (next to my favourite english bookstore Brentanos in fact) which would have bought the mangas... except for like 5% of their prices. Well, I was happy to find this store in any case, and tried to find the Yami No Matsuei as yet unscanlated books among them, but was hopelessly lost what with me not speaking, or reading japanese. I'll get back with better information about those books and, like, an actually Kenji imprint of what the title look like so I can actually find it. Anyway, eventually, I went home with the 10 first X mangas because I can't resist buying mangas at only 1 euro even if I got them all already, and paid for a restaurant which should result in me getting the Please Save My Earth art book (mwhahahaha ! <-- sounds of gloating)
I actually like running under the rain. Not especially enjoy being wet, but I like rain, so I didn't mind. Sometimes I like to be faced with the kind of problems which are easy to strive against. I just suck at facing real day to day problems, so it energizes me when I can...

So it seems i finnaly actually found an RP community to get in, which is actually going to be active and fun, and where I get to play Seisgirou *bounces with excitement* No matter my experience with roleplaying games of the D&D variety (except that, eewwww, I hate D&D), I have absolutly none in the matter of roleplay of actually existing characters (it's interesting to see those two very close concepts, among two very close fandoms but one of which is massively male and the other massively female...) so I was really looking forward to try it out. Still am. Hem, it's a RP about Clamp Campus during the year 1999 and accessible by any kind of Clamp character which can be reasonnably assumed to be there. Or any kind of similar manga character which can be reasonably assumed to be there. it's there : http://www.greatestjournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=clamp_1999 , there's plenty of room yet, get into it ! NOW ! and that means you Xynnie-chan :) and everyone really.

Last... posted the Kakyou character discussion post at togakushishrine two days ago, and, come on ! I know you people have something to say about him ! Pretty please ?

Oh and did I forgot ? at a new claiming community clamp_claims, I got to be the proud owner of Fuuma's sexy glasses of doom, Subaru's star shaped brands and Yuuko's cigarette handler. Yes, I know, I'm a fetishist. Too bad I only thought about claiming Seishirou's wedding eye afterwhile, that would have rated as the most creepy romantic object of the serie... *sighs*

EDIT : oh, by the way, that honesty meme ? Won't do it. It's not that I'm not usually honnest with you people, and it's not that I don't want to fangirl all over you either, it's just that most of the time, without a specific topic, saying what I think of someone draws a biiiiig blank. Thoughts and impressions about people can be so hard to put into thoughts. You can ask specific questions, if you prefer, I'll answer, bluntly honnestly ^^

;_; I have nothing to say about Kakyou that isn't a long rant about how it drives me nuts when people write Fuuma/Kakyou fluff fics. >>;

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

*shudders* I see your point. Even if Atropos was the only such fic I had the misfortune to read.
However I'm sure your rant would definitly have it's place on the shrine ^^

[link621.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I'm sure someone who knows/likes/worships Kouri Arashi would have my head. >>; *coughs*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

As if.

Have you checked who's on the comm ? Hummm ? And there's a difference between criticizing characterization in a fic and bashing someone, I think everyone is aware of it. I even rather like KouriArashi's fics even thought I find her awfully OOC.
The Shrine is mostly about intelligent debate. As long as everyone respects that, they shouldn't be any troubles.

Seishirou's wedding eye... <3 Why didn't I think of that? Psssh, oh well - I got to clamp_claims early and claimed Seishirou himself. XD

Meh. The honesty meme scares me... Ignorance is bliss.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I belong to the school of thought that if you really love 'em, set them free, that's why I didn't claim any character, and I totally refuse to be jealous and maim you violently with a very small aubergin so as to get my Seishirou-san back, yes, I do. *cough*

seishirou's wedding eye... I wish I had thought of it first, too XD I stole that line from an icon thta was around some monthes ago, really. And I wish I rememberes whose it was.

Ignorance is bliss, but I'm enough of a masochist and a paranoiac to prefer to know what people /really/ think of me than not know. Of course, hypocrisy is one of my biggest pet peeve.

[meggu.livejournal.com]

Ah, yesh... I was kind of weary claiming characters (mainly Seishirou,) because I know how...er... wild the fandom can get. o_O; Besides, many other people probably should 'claim' the characters rather than me. ._.;

=3 I think I read a thread of comments on some community about Seishirou's wedding eye. XD Quite amusing, actually.

Hmmmmm... maybe it is good to know what people think of you. However, it scares me - I feel like I have to be liked by everyone.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

it can ? O_o just for a claiming thing ? I've never been part of those kind of stuff before so i thought it was just some jolly good fun, people actually argue about it ? LOL

Must have been Link621 and I. Over at x_100 if I remember acurately ^^

*nods* sometimes I think it's a very /american/ way of thinking. It certainly something I see more on the internet than around myself. It can be endearing and ease social interractions in some case, but sometimes... *shrugs* gets for very shallow friendship, no ? sorry for the rambling, I don't mean it as a criticism.

[meggu.livejournal.com]

XD Yeesh. People argue about claims all the time, but it's a good thing the majority of the CLAMP fans aren't like that.

Ah - I certainly don't take that as criticism - it's very true. A good amount, unfortunately, of my real life friends are like that; we have such shallow relationships, it's sad. We get along just for the sake of being nice and liked, however, it's something I'm trying to stop. XD I need to get motivated, though... maybe that honesty meme is a good idea after all.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's sad :( even if that kind of relationship is needed on some basis (lots of people we need to relate to what we don't necessary like in life) friends shouldn't be about that.

There were a time in my life where those kind of things were also all I got, being very lonely, and even today, I can censure a lot of what I think or feel to others because I'm not sure of how they'll take it, (I seldom lie, but I'm damn good at evasion) however now that I have some genuine friends I can really share my interest with I am very glad.
Of course I don't know how old you are... I couldn't meet real friends until I was older and people a bit more mature. That plays a big role, I think.
Good luck to you for changing it for the best ;)

[meggu.livejournal.com]

Ah, yesh, I'm aware that friendship shouldn't be like that. It's disappointing, I must admit, that the majority of my life is filled with mere acquaintances that I call my friends for the heck of it. =/

"Of course I don't know how old you are... I couldn't meet real friends until I was older and people a bit more mature. That plays a big role, I think."
I'm a youngin' - age 13. I have about one real friend, but unfortunately, she moved away last year. =( However, there's a chance she might move back, so hopefully I can rely on her sometime soon.

Thanks for everything. XD It's always nice to have these types of conversations once in awhile. <3

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

13 ??!!! wow, you sounds so mature for you age. LOL, well I certainly didn't have any "friends" at 13... >_>
And thank YOU, it's been a lovely discussion. :)

[meggu.livejournal.com]

13 ??!!! wow, you sounds so mature for you age.

Thank youuuu! I try to make myself not sound like an idiot, so I bet that's why I seem older. ::dies::

[halcyon-libra.livejournal.com]

:P I think I might pass just because I'm too scattered to stick with an RP. And I wouldn't know how to interact with the other characters since all I know is X. Though maybe if there was one for only X I might give it a try.

Hee, and I felt I was becoming a bit redundant with the honesty meme. It is a little hard for me to squee and say exactly why I love my friends. ^^;

So a specific question huh? Is there anything I post about that you wish I wouldn't? For example, do I whine too much, do I sound like a snob, do I put myself down a lot? Yes, be bluntly honest. I can take it. :P And I'm curious.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

:p All right, I'll stop pushing.

Heh, exactly my point. Besides it probably get redundant with the earlier 'why do you read my Live Journal' meme, except that at least for this one you get to pick who you answer to, no such chance with this meme. *runaway*

Hummm, I can't remember ever being annoyed at one of your entry. Of course if an entry doesn't interest me, I can just overlook it and scroll down, so I don't ever feel like this is a big deal. You're not whiny, especially by compareason with lots of people on LJ, and when you do talk about your problems you're obviously practical and have a positive attitude about it, no self-pity, which I admire. If anything needles me in your entries, it's when I get jealous of Kelsey :p
But I think I'll always get jealous of other people's friendship, because I never got a best friend myself. Mine own issues.
Oh, and sometimes, you do put yourself down a little too much, and I wish you had more confidence in your own abilities because girl, you rock and are very capable, and you are simply an amazing writer. ^^ But that's not something i wish you didn't post, because if you feel like it it's better to write it out than be self-concious because you don't want to appear too whiny or whatever.
Hum, and I generally love reading your entries and hearing of your life. It's great getting to know you.
There, rambling over.

[halcyon-libra.livejournal.com]

If anything needles me in your entries, it's when I get jealous of Kelsey :p

You are very special to me too. ^_~<3

And I figured I was a bit self-deprecating. XD;; When I mentioned my icon journal, I had to really REALLY fight the urge to put myself down about it. Like I didn't want anyone to feel obligated to friend it. So I am trying to be better about it, but you're right, sometimes it does help me feel better to say that I'm insecure about something. ^^;

Anyway, I need to run! XD;;

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

you know if I friended your icon journal it's because I think your icons are cool, not because I'm your friend =_=

[sakuraragi.livejournal.com]

Wedding eye? *laughs* I made an icon like that a while back! "With this eye I thee wed". I see it like that too. *smiles* Who wouldn't want to own that? hehehe!! Plus it's gold too.. wedding bands are "usually" gold. *wink*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yay ! So it was YOU ! I kept thinking of it, but didn't know where the icon had came from so I couldn't give you proper credit for this genius idea ^^

lol, I would definitly love to own Seishirou's eye... and since I got (mostly) green eyes, I even could do a good impersonnation of Sakurazukamori!Subaru XD

[sakuraragi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I made that icon. XD The icon popped up somewhere? XD;;;; Genius idea? *laughs* Why thank you!

Well, my eyes are more along a gold tone so we can switch eyes if you want! We can be the Sakurazukamori Subaru twins! Mwehehehe!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

No, but I remembered it from my first fandom days when I refered to the wedding eye thing, and everyone found the idea great, so I had to say it wasn't mine, but couldn't credit exactly where from it was ^^

LOL ! yay ! gimme ! There's nothing like exchanging eyes ^^

[sakuraragi.livejournal.com]

Oooh. They liked the idea? XD That's cool. ^_^

Ok!!! Let's do that!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

check this

[sakuraragi.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. I see. XD

[yumeminouta.livejournal.com]

*points to your blue icon* ._. How come I haven't seen that picture before?


And I replied to that Kakyou post... twice. I don't think I was successful. I'm bad at analyses. *huggles*

^_^ Loves much to you!

[yumeminouta.livejournal.com]

That means I have to stalk her now. >D

Sankyuu! ^_^ I think I was on crack when I typed all that though. - - I kinda wish more people posted about Kakyou. > > But that's because I'm biased. XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I don't know. hiragizawa made it, ask her. ^^

Yay for your answers ! Loved them... it's good to see a little tiny bit of discussions there :)
