The Ranking Thing

Yeah. Just posting because I haven't in awhile and this gives me a good excuse.

I did the Ranking thing for the KAT-TUN boys and the rankings weren't surprising at all. They matched what I knew perfectly... though I suppose that would be true since KAT-TUN doesn't have that many boys (unlike PoT) and I am ranking them... XD

The only pain was that I had to switch computers since my laptop doesn't show Japanese. XP But I got to learn a bit more of the KAT-TUN kanji, so that's good. I only knew how Jin and Kame's went before. XD I'm such a bad KAT-TUN fangirl, but I'm a semi-decent Akame fangirl.

So the unsurprising rankings ARE: XD Exactly the same as my 100 facts meme. But I'll list them again for your benefit

1: Kamenashi Kazuya & Akanishi Jin
3: Taguchi Junnosuke
4: Ueda Tatsuya
5: Tanaka Koki
6: Nakamaru Yuuichi

On a random note: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8nGZClRuHjU -A lovely vid for fangirls and general pretty boy lovers alike. Though I don't recommend watching it with family in the room XD

On an even more random note: Don't expect any more posts from me for a week or so. I'm going camping. =D

... I went swimming today... And I made cookies... That is all. XD

The Really Long Meme (Once again, taken because of Ragie)

Yeah... This is the 100 facts meme.

1. I was never into bands until Rea corrupted me into KAT-TUN

2. When my friend asked me about why turtles were so awesome I asked her what she thought of when she heard "Jpop" and she told me soda, so I didn't bother telling her about Kame.

3. None of my RL friends know about my KAT-TUN fangirling

4. None of them know that I like yaoi

5. Only a few realize that I like manga and anime, though it should be more obvious based on my drawing style

6. Ragie is the only forumer a few of my friends know about, but I claimed she was my Australian pen pal when I was freaking out about possibly sending her a virus

7. I still can't decide whether I like Kame or Jin more XD

8. I visualize my JE rankings as the boys climbing a mountain XDD

9. I've never had a crush before

10. The closest feelings to having a crush that I've had are wanting to befriend someone

11. I usually think various guys are cute, but I shake off that delusion within a week usually

12. The only time it took longer than a week was with the cute cello player who sat next to me in orchestra. I still think he's cute, though not JE cute

21. I knew that no one was going to call me to tell me where we were going for ice cream after a school dance (that I hadn't gone to, we were just planning on hanging out afterwards) so I planned on not going

22. If I don't get a call, or call someone on a day when we're supposed to do something together, I'll get paranoid and assume that I got the wrong day/time

23. I feel closer to most of the forumers than many people I know

24. The place where I feel the most comfortable isn't my own home, it's my church

25. When I get angry I've discovered that there are two options for how I'm angry, cold anger, and hot anger (cold anger discovered after reading Ender's Game XD)

26. "Cold" anger is when I get bitchy and don't give a damn about anyone, so I'm quite mean and heartless

27. "Hot" anger is when I get frustrated and usually end up crying so I don't break something or punch someone

28. Usually after I get angry at someone I end up in a state of self-loathing

49. The first shoujo I watched was Mermaid Melody

50. I haven't finished Mermaid Melody either XD (This one due to lack of subbing)

97. My favorite female Japanese actress is Horikita Maki

98. Maki-chan is also one of the few people whom I wouldn't mind dating a JE boy (Initially, since if the girl wasn't evil and the boy was happy I'd probably stop minding whomever he was dating. Maki-chan is just special because she's so sweet that she avoids all dislike)

99. If you haven't guessed by my obscure url, Akame is my current OTP because Jin and Kame win at life

100. I just completed the 100 fact meme

Wii Codes

XP So I finally sent out my various Wii codes to people so that I can play them over the summer. I should have done it days ago, but Ma-kun sent the various email adresses that I needed to a rarely checked email account. XP He had a 33% chance of guessing right (actually higher since I told him which email I check the most) but he guessed wrong. XP I wonder what would happen now that I have my Yahoo email too...

AWIN! GIVE ME YOUR BRAWL CODE! Rawr. And DAISY! Make your brother make WiFi work. Please? ... Does anyone else have a Wii and Mario Kart/Brawl? If you do, then I'll send you my Wii code too~

TAG! I'm it! XD

Ragie's fault XD

Rules and Regulations
1. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
2. Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be?
I'd get really mad and probably break up with him. Then I'd hide in my closet and have a break down.

If you can have a dream come true what would it be?
Right now? Befriend my favorite JE boys.

Are you satisfied with the way your life is right now?
It's okay. There's definitely room for improvement, but it's not bad or anything.

Are you confused of what lies ahead of you?
Utterly and Completely. XD

What's your ideal lover like?
Akanishi Jin... Maybe Kame... XD

Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
The best is really loving someone while being loved in return, but since that's not an option, I'd go with loving someone.

What is the one thing that pisses you off about the opposite sex?
They just don't get what it is to be a girl, and seem to have a tendency of forgetting that yes, I am a girl.

How far will you go for the one you love the most?
I honestly don't know... I suppose it would depend on whether or not what I'd have to do is morally right.

Is there anything that makes you unhappy these days?
My inability to think properly before I act. I always end up regretting things forever, even if they weren't really a big deal.

What is your favourite fairytale of all time and why?
Ummm... Sleeping Beauty? I don't know. I just know that she's my favorite Disney Princess and at the moment I can't think of a good fairytale where the girl isn't a moron. XP

Uh I tag... all of the forumers who haven't been tagged yet.

Yes, This is a Complete Rip-off of Rea's Post XP

The title says it all. I read Rea's post, took the quizzes and now I am posting the results.





Your IQ Is 125



Your Logical Intelligence is Genius


Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius


Your Mathematical Intelligence is Exceptional


Your General Knowledge is Above Average

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test


And for the JE boy one:

I got Kame on my first try: http://www.quizilla.com/quizzes/result/6400284/5364365/

On my rigged round so that all questions that I would be forced to answer in a certain direction were nullified I got: Well, after I rigged it so that the drama and song questions (that by default had previously gone to Kame) I couldn't get a straight answer exactly, as the result had a tendency to shift based on the guy's charming point and my favorite color. XP I'll give it to Junno and Jin anyway for coming up the most often. And doesn't Junno look adorable with the puppy in the results page?

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to everyone out in the U.S, Canada and everywhere else that cyberspace reaches! XD My dad wasn't even home to celebrate it. He's a few states away visiting his mom... on Father's Day. XD

I got to try one of the cupcakes I made yesterday~ They were yummy~ I'm glad I didn't manage to ruin cake mix, sugar, and butter. XD

I also went to the library to return Flipped, but I ended up leaving with The Fairy's Mistake, Tactics v.1, and Shadow of the Giant. XD I'm already done with The Fairy's Mistake since it's really short and easy. It was okay-ish. I like fairy tales. I think I'll read Tactics next. It's shorter than Shadow of the Giant and Awin said it's good. XP I was depressed when I couldn't find it on onemanga, but luckily the library had a volume and it happened to be number 1~ Shadow of the Giant should be good too. It's an Orson Scott Card book and I love his work. I still can't find Speaker for the Dead though...

Yeah... Just another random post since I just post randomly as I think of things. XD

Jinjin~


Yeah, I was just thinking about this because Daisy failed and Ragie commented on it but.... My Jin icon wins. (See! He even has the V!) He's just so adorkable on it!

Psh. Daisy was thinking of stealing it, but I fended her off, so she's getting Tegoshi instead.

XD I really do love this picture a lot. And I love Rea for inadvertently helping me find it! I'm ninety percent sure it was Rea... Maybe it was Minty... No. I think Rea was the one who posted up the Akame pic spam... I think. XP Anyway, I went from the Akame pic spam into various other KAT-TUN related pic spams and PRESTO! Awesome Jin pic~

Yeah... *sheepish grin* That's all I had to say. XDDD

CUPCAKES!!!!!!

Yeah, so I just made cupcakes. =D They're yummy... I think. XD I haven't actually tried one.

I'm making them for a Father's Day thing at church tomorrow! I was supposed to make 24, but I ended up making only 23 since I accidentally messed up with the measurements and was one short. XP I don't think anyone will mind though. And I decorated them with blue and green sprinkles so they're pretty~

Betty Crocker makes things easy~ I just used some mix and BAM! I had 23 lovely chocolate cupcakes! Then I just made some simple buttercream frosting. That's yummy, and I've actually tried it!

Here's the recipe, simple huh:

1 lb. confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. milk
Food coloring (optional)
In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk until smooth. If necessary add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring. Mix everything well.

Chocolate buttercream frosting - add 1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa.



I hope everyone likes them...

Nameless Woes

... Everyone mixes me up with Minty... It makes me sad. TT_TT

First it was just Ragie, but now it's both Ragie AND Gelly.... TTTT_TTTT

MY ICON IS NOT KARUPIN! IT IS THE AWESOMENESS OF JIN! I AM a JET girl after all... XP

... And not everything I do is connected to BL. That's Minty too. XP I'm a shoujo girl. XPPP

Oh woe~ *huggles Sam, the random emo kid*

Akame and Turtles and Carshrimp, Oh My!

Haha! My first post! Well I'm not very good at blogging, but hopefully things will get better. XD I got this mainly because I wanted somewhere to rant today and Ragie, Rea, and Awin were talking about blogs and telling me to get one when I first looked at the forum, so here I am! With a blog.


There was a big discussion on what my url would be in the forum today. I wanted something akame related, but most of the obvious things were taken, and then I thought of carshrimp. Jin wins~ XDDD

Then the problem was to go singular or plural since turtlesandcarshrimp sounded better to me than turtleandcarshrimp, but there's only one Kame, and Jin better not be cheating, so it made me want singular a bit, even if I liked the sound of turtles more. XP

Then of course Rea just had to make everything pervy with turtleincarshrimp and turtleridingcarshrimp. XDD I was seriously considering turtleridingcarshrimp too, since the innocent (read: Those whose minds do not rent a condo in the gutter) could read it cleanly. XD But in the end, Awin and turtleandcarshrimp win. XD

(Really though, Slacky-chan wins! Yay me!)
