Hehehe. Pulp. Like Orangina, only without the french bit. Oh, and so that you know i am definitely running out of interesting quizzes to take, here`s this one.
I got the OP second movie DVD. I`ve seen the movie already; what I wanted was the bonus - Jango`s Dance Carnival! Bwahahahahahahaha! That was priceless! Never knew Zoro took ballet lessons (snickers.) It is so much fun to mess with stuff like that.
In other news, I found the animate store in Hiroshima. IT WAS LIKE PARADISE! If heaven had no angels and only anime...I almost cried. Thank goodness I maintained self discipline and controlled my insane urges to buy everything with OP on it. It was difficult but I only dropped thirty bucks there. Close one. All I got was three comic anthologies, so I splurged on all things doujinshi. There are some hilarious `gag` comics in those things. My favorite is the one where Kuro becomes a waiter at Baraties after Sanji leaves. That was GREAT!
But before I found animate, I stumbled into another manga/anime store. I was hunting for doujinshi (gag, of course) and I followed the signs upstairs for doujinshi and entered the second floor and had my innocence burned away in one hot searing flash! Note to self: never go the second floor or to the back room. Stay where everyone can see you. Needless to say, that was the over 18 room. I was the only foreigner and even more scary, the only girl. I knew my face had turned bright red, but I nonchalantly tried to ask for help finding the comic anthologies (the NON sicko ones). Due to my firm grasp of the Japanese language, the store clerk helpfully showed me the hentai doujinshi of OP. GYAH! Innocence is gone. I did not want to see Nami like that. Or Zoro and Luffy. (shudders.) I can handle yaoi done tastefully, but that was just wrong. And that was the cover! Lord knows what horrific monstrosties were detailed on the inside pages. It was also extremely embarrassing to try and explain what I wanted (NOT THAT) to the clerk while a dozen Japanese guys in their twenties were thumbing through the pornographic contents of Naruto and Hunter x Hunter right next to me. Thumbing and were kind of hunched over if you get my drift. I tried to keep a whole `eyes front` thing, but what I saw out of the corner of my eyes... I will never think about coke bottles in the same way ever again.
Well, that`s what being an intrepid explorer is all about. Sometimes the places you explore are scary as all get out and destroy bits of you, but the experience is worth it, right? Right? Please tell me I`m right... (shudders as the scary memories return unbidden.)
Well, I should probably update in my serious blog so that those who care might check out that I`m still alive. It`s been a long time. And amazingly enough, there will be no stupid quizzes in this entry. Your prayers were answered, you lucky people.

I have reached a new stage in my life. I talk to plushies. (hangs head in shame...or does she? Could that be an evil glint in her eye?) No! I AM ashamed. I am an adult who sleeps with a stuffed toy and now talks to it! And not even on purpose. I just find myself addressing comments to my cute, stuffed Luffy doll. I have been in Japan for too long...
But he`s so cute! I can`t help it. He makes me laugh just looking at him. I like Luffy plushies. They are the best. I can`t get any of the other crew members because it seems disrespectful to hug them, and squeeze them, and call them George, but good old Luffy doesn`t mind a bit. Do you?
GYAH! I did it again! (looks around fearfully as paper walls close in...) I have to get out of this house! To the shrine! I`ll appeal to the god`s to restore my sanity! It`s my only hope!. But first I`ll take a few crazy quizzes.
Never heard of her, so now I have to check her out and see if she rocks as much as I do.
You are Stupendous Man! You are simply amazing, whether you are battling your arch-nemesis Mom Lady, the nefarious Babysitter Girl, or the fiendish Annoying Girl. And you have absolutely nothing to do with mild-mannered Calvin. Take the What Calvin are You? Quiz by contessina_2000@yahoo.com!
And we like setting stuff on fire if it is at all possible.
You know, I want to make one of these quizzes up for OP. It would be called: Who is your captain? and the button would say: My captain is...nani nani nani. It would be cool.
That's the spirit! Although time and / or personal experience have yet to make you exterminate an entire suburb, there's a good few bodies in *your* back garden. Keep up the good work!
(sobbing) I try so hard and all I am is amateur? It`s not fair! Guess I`ll have to work on that aspect of my life. (muses) Time to break out the hacksaw and the cheese grater...
Take the Final Fantasy X personality test here! by
And I have a frickin` huge sword and cool sunglasses and my hair has white streaks in it. All elements of total and utter suave-ness. Do you envy my suaveness? You should. No doubt, what I am carrying is a version of the Hackmaster plus 12 in that picture. Yup. I am not to be messed with.
"And I eat live mice and hock up their fur and bones. Not only that but I am a harbinger of doom and death in most native cultures." Sheesh, people, finish the description or don`t even bother.
Test Results
You think of yourself as being dark, mysterious, deep, and versatile.
Others think of you as being strong, menacing, vicious, and beautiful.
Your relationships can be described as vast, wild, open, and blue.
I love truth. Cold hard truth. Or warm carmelly sugar daddy truth is good too.
Whew. that is enough. Let`s stop the insanity and earn a paycheck. I am seriously pushing the limits of my coworker`s patience with my web-surfing, stupid quiz taking, incessant blogging thing here. And tonight, yes, tonight I will receive not one, but TWO OP DVDs and I will probably watch both of them twice, ruining any kind of sleep I might have wished to have, but as someone famous once said, I will sleep when I am dead. Right now, there is too much to do.
Right. So all on friday I was `working` aka doing stupid online tests and just as I was getting ready to post the biggest fricking post on this weblog, the STUPID G'$&%#& COMPUTER froze up. I hate technology, I love technology, I am its slave. Even more of a slave to it than I am to matcha. Matcha, bitter, bitter, matcha...
Speaking of matcha, I noticed that most of the characters that I like are matcha-themed: bitter, strong, and green. Okay, well three characters at least, Piccolo, Buttercup and Zoro. Coincidence; I stopped believing in those a long time ago.
So, I`m off to fill up this weblog with meaningless quiz crap. Let me begin with
Hmm, I guess it could be worse. And I don`t run from my past...I travel! There`s a difference...
Back to Friday. It kind of pisses me off. I took a ton of quizzes. Like thousands. And I stole them all off this blog site, erm, borrowed them all off this blog site... and now i am having difficulty finding them all again. (pouts)
I never knew that is what the song was about. Huh. Live and learn I guess. (The more I take quizzes, the more I realize how screwed up I may appear to others...)
Man, I love that movie. Jonny Lee Miller is so yummy. I`ll take a shot from Sick Boy any day of the week...
I Am A: Chaotic Good Half-Elf Ranger Thief
Alignment: Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race: Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.
Primary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class: Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.
Deity: Solonor Thelandria is the Chaotic Good elven god of archery and the hunt. He is also known as the Keen Eye, the Great Archer, and the Forest Hunter. His followers respect nature, and only hunt when needed, but are quick to defend the forest from intruders. Their favorite weapon is the bow, and they tend to be extremely talented with it. Solonor Thelandria's symbol is an arrow with green fletchings.
Now the first time that I took this, on the fateful `My computer is a bitch` day, I was a true neutral dwarf ranger bard. WHAT THE HELL? I am glad, upon taking this quiz a second time, that I am not such a screwed up character. Thank Solonor, huh?
I'm the purple shimmer Doc Marten... I'm a little spunky, definitely fun, and I like believing in fantasy
And with that exciting quiz, I end this blog post, having confirmed to the entire world that I am, indeed, quite insane. Then again, they do say there is a thin line between madness and genius. (checks around) Yup, I`m totally insane. No genius here.

Ways Japan and England are similar
1) Keitais and mobiles -same difference. Though Japan beats England in coolness of phones
2) Smoking -everyone does it, why don`t you?
3) BSE -has been taken care of by both governments :or so the Germans would have us believe.
4) Bad teeth. `Nuff said.
5) Spice -doesn` exist in either place, hence the necessity in the past for both countries to conquer their neighbors in their quest for better food.
6) Island nations separated from their neighbors.
7) Excellent inconsequential pop music, which leads right into...
8) Morning Musume, Spices; the only difference is the number ofs.
9) Monarchy; for some reason they both have it.
10) Drinking is a lifestyle; the only difference is in choice of beverage.
Matcha. I love matcha. I want my layout to be matcha. Matcha and. Sha-do; the art of getting high. I do so love it. I went to Meimei-an in Matsue, a beautiful tea house at the top of a hill over looking the flying buttresses of Matsue Castle. I demurely ate Shimane-ken okashi (sugar) and sipped the lovely bitter frothy Zoro green matcha. I wanted more. I could drink matcha out of a trough. I LOVE matcha. I am going to harass someone in my village to teach me sha-do, the way of the tea. I just want to know how to make the stuff. Cheaper than crack and legal too. When I begin my long awaited (bwahahahaha), long thought out OP page I think I will have a tiny shrine called Matcha, for all the green things that I love: Buttercup, Zoro, and Piccolo. Oh and MATCHA!
I should probably not be allowed to post after staring at a Japanese OS all morning, but I will brave the likelihood that my brain has turned to tofu and try and write coherently. But first!
I wanted to be the Angel of Death, but I`m not pious enough.
I wonder which natural disaster I am. I think volcanoes are cool, but the lava thing is way too slow. Too much time for people to escape. Maybe a forest fire that rages along, burning a thousand year old foliage! Or...
Yeah, well $&%# off! I`m not grumpy, I`m a realist! Care bears are stupid anyway! (pouts in the corner)
You are a Joker/Toker.
You're a grinner and a picker and a sinner, but not a lover.
You are rarely on the run, and you don't get your loving there.

(laughs insanely) "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Oh, oh! And it`s St. Patrick`s Day. Yeah, in America. Well, I had matcha hit yesterday and watched a movie with Zoro in it. Green fix is fixed!
Diagnosis: I do not know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around territory of modern Mexico approximately on 1050. Your profession was medic, surgeon, herbalist. Your brief psychological profile in that past life: You had mind of a scientist, always seeking new explanations. Environment often misunderstood him, but respected his knowledge. Lesson, that your last past life brought to present: Magic is everywhere around you, in most usual, most ordinary incidents. Your lesson -- to learn magic and to help people to see it clearly. You are magician!

Uh-huh. I am a MAGICIAN! (spins around in spinny chair after one too many cups of matcha.) Matcha, better than crack and legal too! And it`s green! And I`m a MAGICIAN! (tries to make impressive sparks come out of her finger tips and fails miserably) And it`s spring and it stopped raining and soon I will get coffee and I`m a MAGICIAN! (falls off her chair in a caffeine-induced paroxysm, begins hallucinating in OP)....
Note to everyone: Twinkie`s are the most chemically inert snack foods imaginable. Pretty scary, isn`t it? You know, if you leave them outside, not only will they NOT biodegrade (begging the question of what they are made of because it can`t be biological), and also animals won`t eat them either. Leave it on your porch or whatever and not even ants will touch the stuff. Maybe cockroaches but only if nothing else is around. Nifty? Or just scary? You be the judge.
I'm a punk/hardcore fangirl I like screaming, I like kicking it up in the mosh pit, and damn do I like spikey hair.
Yup, quizzes tell the TRUTH! The `bright, shiny, holy truth that blinds the eyes of the infidels` kind of truth!
You know, I have done a 180 on my position of doujinshi. Doujinshi is not bad in and of itself. It can be quite funny, given a decent author with imagination. Even yaoi can be funny; though it has a tendency to be horribly, horribly abused by fangirls who wish they could get their groove thing on with certain characters and instead put two males together who would never ever ever in a million years do any of the nasty things with maraschino cherries and leather straps that they have been drawn to do...
Not that I have ever seen that.
But I digress. Doujinshi can be funny. Yaoi doujinshi can be even funnier. That`s what I like: funny yaoi. I mean, angst is all well and good, but most series have so much angst that Sylvia Plath would stick her head in an oven to get away from it - er...never mind. Funny is good. Arlong x Chuu is funny. Any situation that involves making fun of Sanji`s eyebrow or Zoro`s fungus hair is funny. Someday I have got to scan in the one where Zoro finds a real good way to distract Sanji... and it`s not sick, for all those perverts who read this (not you April.) Anywho, I have to hunt down more doujinshi soon. Oda isn`t producing half enough manga and I need a fix! Like a serious fix! Like matcha need fix.
reins, reins, reins. If reins weren`t blogging, I would be bored with no quizzes to take. Go visit her sight and see her zoo of Zoro sprites. Cool, obsessive, scary? No. Just OP. Anyway, here are the results of me taking quizzes.
My, my, my, what a surprise. No really. What a surprise. I`m Daria. Well no frickin kidding.
I am Chocolate Flavoured.
I am sweet and a little bit naughty. I am one of the few clinically proven aphrodisiacs. Sometimes I can seem a little hard, but show warmth and I soon melt. What Flavour Are You?
Thank god I`m not Marmite.
NC-17
Woah, dude, too far. You're totally unsuitable for anybody under the age of 17, and for society in general. Tough break...
"Which Movie Classification Are You?" Test created by Jamie - take it here.
Today is a day full of surprises. I am utterly stunned. Stunned. NC-17? Is it because I picked all the answers with guns and bullet holes? You be the judge.
And the what element are you quiz would go here if it would work, but it doesn`t. Anyway, I am uranium. As if I could be anything BUT radioactive.
1) No one cares what you feel; feelings are for personal time and personal time is reserved for using the bathroom.
2) Exercise is compulsory and will occur even in inclement weather.
3) It is easy to change the platoon`s motto of `Outlaws! We own you!` to `Board of Education! We own you!`
4) Everyone is addressed by their last name or title.
5) Living in a paper house makes you tough.
6) Everyone and everything has its place.
7) Bowing, saluting, same difference.
I could go on indefinitely. Here is something I observed though. Japanese women, traditionally, have had a subservient role. One of the most subservient aspects is when they walk behind their husbands. Three steps behind and to the left. Or maybe right. That`s not important though. What is important is this. Japanese women aren`t subservient! They`re smart! Because the position the man is taking, in army lingo, is called `point.` And everyone knows that the person walking `point` is the one who is most likely to get killed. Japanese women aren`t stupid. They aren`t going to get shot. That`s my take on it anyway.
