Here I am back again! ^_^ Today was an interesting day for several reasons. First off, today is the second anniversary of of the MKR forum. On this day two years I came here all alone and made the forum because I had such difficulty finding more Rayearth fans. Things have come a long ways since then. ^_^ Work was pretty busy today with all sorts of interesting problems as usual. But one fellow hurt himself with this chemical stuff and I had to go and help him out because I'm one of the first aid responder people. I'm third on the list so I don't get called very often, but it happened today. This evening I chatted with friends online and played FFXI for a while, trying to level up my white mage character. Now I'm back here at the forum again! ^_^

Today wasn't wasn't quite as interesting as yesterday was, but still lively and busier than usual. This morning I woke up to wet rain outside, but it stopped rather quickly and the rest of the day was very muggy and warm. This evening I after work I just visited with friends online and watched a movie with the kiddies. ^_^ One of my friends sent me a Final Fantasy music video which was very well done visually, but the music wasn't lip-synched too well. ^_^;;

hehehe, lip-synching is hard to do I think *nod nod* ^.^ What movie did you watch Hikaru-chan?

It was really just a music video with Final Fantasy characters. Yuna was singing Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". XD



Okies, one more time! :P Today was a different day, first off because I didn't have to go to work and I stayed home with the kiddies. This morning I did some online visiting and downloaded some anime, but I also watched Pokemon for a while and went outside for a bit before it got hot. After lunch we went to the bowling alley and did some practice just for fun. Later this evening we watched one of the Harry Potter movies and I also played FFXI for a little while too. Now mee back here again. ^_^

Teeheehee! Shii-chan is back! XD Today was actually kind of boring for me. Not very much went on because it was really warm outside again and I just stayed hiding in the house. This morning I mostly just watched anime - some of Tokyo Mew Mew and some of Inuyasha. This afternoon I chatted with friends online for a while and was here at the forum too. This evening after dinner I went out shopping for a while because it was nice and air conditioned in the mall. I got some new clothes for myself and some more manga books - xxxHolic #5 and the first of the next Full Metal Panic series and something that I wasn't expecting to find: the first volume of Full Moon wo Sagashite. I didn't know if they were going to produce an English version or not, but this is such a treat and made me soo happy to find it! *giggles* ^__^

Today was a little different from yesterday. This morning was about the same as Sunday usually is, but this afternoon I didn't feel so well. I was tired and got a headache, but I also started feeling really sad about things which happens to me now and then. So I kinda just hid in my room for a little while until I felt a little better and then did some online stuff. That little thing that I wrote with Hikaru and Mokona helped cheer me up quite a bit. ^_^ Now I'm just visiting the forums again, but I'll probably go play FFXI for a while before I go to bed.

Aww Hikaru-chan T.T Are you feeling okay now?

Hope you're better soon, Hikaru-san.

Oh, I'm okay now everyone. *Huggles* and thankies ^_^ It's just something that happens to me every now and then when I get to thinking about certain things that I regret. It can make me very sad and even cry sometimes, but doesn't last long, maybe a few hours or an afternoon. Maybe it's just something that happens to people when the start to get old. v_v



Today was a pretty busy day, so there wasn't much time for me to worry about my regrets. Even so, it wasn't so bad at work that things felt like they were getting out of control. The day went by rather quickly and now Monday is over with. This evening I've been chatting with friends mostly, but I did download some more episodes of anime too. I wasn't able to play FFXI because the thing was broken, so maybe tomorrow ...

Today was actually quite similar to yesterday. The morning was very busy at work, but the afternoon was a little slower and easier to deal with. Some storms came through today and made everything very humid for a while but now it seems to have cooled off somewhat which is a good thing. This evening I just visited online and downloaded anime for a while because FFXI is still brokies. Back to WoW I guess. :P

Busy, busy, busy again at workiess today. Another project that I started some time ago is reaching completion, so that used up quite a bit of my time today and I really wasn't able to work on anything new. The weather cleared up nicely after the rain that we got yesterday so even though it was quite warm, the reduced humidity made things much more pleasant. ^_^ I was finally able to get the FFXI update thingy to work today so now I am able to play that again. This evening I mostly chatted online and for I while I had quite a handful of conversations going at once. For someone that doesn't even know how to type properly, I was able to handle it though, but just barely. ^_^;;

Okies I'm back again at the end of a very busy day for me. This morning started out as usual, so nothing strange there. One of the jobs that I was working on got completed today and went to test, so now the fun begins. :P This evening I got a call from my sister and found out that she was in town today. Yes, Shii-chan the airhead had completely spaced this one too, so it was a surprise, but a good surprise. We went out and had dinner at my sister-in-law's Thai restaurant this evening and the food was really good. ^_^ I also had a few drinkiess too so that's where I've been all evening, Now I'm back, but not for long ... zzzzzzzzz ...

Another Friday Night and the end of another week. *whew* Work was pretty busy again for me today, so that made the day fly by rather quickly. Unfortunately that didn't give me a lot of time to sneak away and visit the forum here, sorries everyone. v_v This evening I went to my mom's house to spend a little time visiting with my sister and to have dinner too. I came back only about an hour ago, but once again I'm feeling pretty tired and need to get some sleepies.

Here I am back again! ^_^ Mee not do this last night because mee got kicked off of the comp, well not exactly. XD Today was a pretty normal Sunday for me. This morning I went to Sunday mass as usual and the weather outside was very pleasant today. This afternoon I mostly visited online and packed up another pile of anime CD's to mail to a friend in England. This evening was a lot the same, but I finally had a chance to come visit the MKR forum. ^_^

*Trips over rug and falls down.*



Owch ... today was a pretty nutty Monday for sure. Things were pretty wacky and disorganized at work today with all sorts of silly things going on. It was a good day in a way because I felt like the world was nuts, so it was okay for me to be nuts too. Some jobs in production, some being designed, one big one in test, some in process of being sold. Some already out there installed, but having problems, so yes me did all of it today ... XD But I also found out that I'm going to be reviewed at work soon, finally after four years ^_^ Now the FFXI thingy doesn't want to work, but tomorrow I have to back to New York City again, so maybe I'll give it a shot then. See ya then! ^_^

*helps Shii-chan up* Please more careful...it wouldn't be good if you hurt yourself. mm-hmm...well have a safe trip back to New York.

Mee there right now Docs-san. ^_^ The trip went fine without any troubles. The work went pretty well to and everything was finished up this morning before it got too warm here today. This evening I went to the hotel that's sort of in the middle of a Chinatown area that I haven't been to before. For a while I hung out in the lounge and chatted with a couple of people that I'd never met before, but it was fun and interesting. ^_^ I had Chinese food for dinner (no surprise there), a Szechuan Fish dish that was delicious. ^_^ now I finally get to visit the forum! ^_^

*sigh* I finally made it back here. For the last two days the forum has been so darned slow that I haven't been able to post anything at all. Hopefully it hasn't been as bad for everyone else. On top of that, while I was at the help forums today, loads of people were complaining about picking up trojans and worms (asdf.exe among others) while surfing on Ezboard. My virus scanner picked one up some months ago, but it seems that Ezboard hasn't learned a thing. The conversion to IPB has really moved up on my priority list and I want to get it done asap before anyone gets their comp ruined by Ezboard ... if I'm not too late already ...



Aside from forum problems, things were still rather busy for me today. Work was chaotic as usual, but in a way it was good to be back from my trip. Things went well in NYC and hopefully will stay that way for now. ^_^

*thinks* Maybe that's why my virus blocker has been picking up trojans...well I have no attachments to ezboard besides this forum so...I don't care if/when we leave this system behind. *huggles Shii-chan* I spent some 2 hours trying to post here today but couldn't...blah.

*Huggles Docs* ^_^



Ezboard really isn't a bad BBS, it pretty much has everything that's really necessary, just not much for extras. Over time though the service has gone downhill a lot in my view, and the company itself has tested my patience and now it's reaching the limit. It was insufferable that they couldn't restore our lost posts, but they go even further as to threaten our personal property with viruses and trojans embedded in their advertising. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

Well, the end of another Friday and the end of another work week today. Work was just as busy as ever, but it didn't stress me out too badly (mee happy it's over though :P). The weather today was just perfect outside for most of the day, but it clouded up a little bit this evening. After dinner I've just been chatting online, but I did read a little bit off xxxHolic this evening too. ^_^

Erm, I'm back from my short exile. Yesterday my spouse got upset with me over my amount of time on the comp/internet. It's something that's been a minor issue with us and it comes up every once in a while and it is something that I do feel guilty about. So rather than create a big fight over it, I stayed off of the comp this weekend until now, and it was completely voluntary, no one forced me to do it. Hopefully no one really missed me very badly, I'm sorry. v_v It did give me an opportunity to do other things though including watch anime and read a couple of books. I also got out to ride my bicycle a little bit too which is something that I need to do more often ... especially after getting picked on by my mom ... >_<

lol What's your mom picking on you for? =P Oh, and never feel bad about not being here everyday...*nod nod* Every understands RL comes first.

Erm, my mom said that I'm getting fat. >_< According to my doctor I haven't gained or lost any weight in the last five years. I don't think of myself as fat, but I suppose that I'm a little heavier than I'd like to be. A few years ago my sister dieted and lost a lot of weight, so maybe my mom is trying to push me in that direction. It still hurts to get called "fat" though ... T_T



For today's entry things went fairly well for me being a Monday and all. Work was busy with all kinds of the usual problems, but nothing that I couldn't handle. This evening it stormed pretty good so I read some more of "Lireal" instead of visiting online. After dinner I was able to do some compy stuff and see if I could do some of the database conversion. Not much luck I'm afraid and now I remember why I dislike messing around with sql so much. >_<

D'oh! I forgot to come by and do this last night, sorries everyone. v_v Actually I didn't forget, I got into playing World of Warcraft and by the time I was done it was really late, so I had to go to bed. At the same time, I was also my usual airheaded self and forgot to put the away thingy up on my AIM account and saw that a couple of you were looking for me while I was playing .... mee sorries again. I wasn't trying to be meaniess ... v_v



Oh well, mee can just edit this. There isn't much to talk about today except that I have to take another trip to New York City tomorrow. Most likely I won't be around during the day, but possibly in the evening if all goes well. ^_^

Edited by: Shiidou Hikaru at: 8/3/05 8:33 pm

Here I am, Shii-chan reporting from lovely Flushing, Queens, New York. XD It was a very early morning for me today. I was up before Docs-san and Yuzuki-chan finished chatting this morning to be on a 6:15am flight to NYC. A cruise through the city to Brooklyn where I had to work and then and eight hour workday was enough to get mee me pooped alright. Now I'm back at the hotel seeing what everyone is up to today.

I finally made it back to the forum! Wheeeeee!! Yesterday I spent working and travelling so there wasn't any opportunity for me to come and visit the forum here. There might have been if the flight back from NYC wasn't three hours late, but at the same time I had a chance to read more of my book Lirael and this morning I finished it. It was a book that I found very enjoyable and I'd recommend to anyone that likes fantasy novels. Today was a very pretty day weather wise with lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures. This afternoon I went and rode my bicycle for a while and I also went to the bookstore to get more reading material. This time I picked up Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles #6, RG Veda #2, Full Metal Panic #8, and the novel The Lovely Bones that Yuki-san told me about. It's probably going to be a very sad book, but I'm hoping that the story will be really good. ^_^

Here I am back again. Today was actually kind of a boring Sunday. This morning I went to Sunday mass as I usually do, but this week it was somewhat more meaningful for me. This afternoon I visited the forums, but no one seemed to be around for most of the day. Another friend that I did chat with started playing FFXI, so I made another character this afternoon so that we can play together. ^_^

La de dah de dah. :P It was another Monday today and the first day back from my trip last week. There was a good pile of junk and a few reports to take care of when I got back today. However, once all of that mess got cleaned up, things weren't too bad. This evening I just chatted online for a bit and then read some of TRC #6. Now I'm back here at the forum for a little while. ^_^

Today was a lot like yesterday except that I didn't have a mess to clean up after being away for a few days. I was finally able to get one of these annoying little things out of the way today and did a little work on one of my bigger projects. However, the pace on the bigger ones is still geologically slow. The weather today was very warm again but not overly humid so it was pretty nice actually. This evening I just chatted online and played FFXI for a little while. I made a new character the other day and I've just started exploring Windurst for the first time with my little Tarutaru-chan. ^_^

Things went pretty good for me today, and there were very few problems to deal with. Work was pretty busy and I had a ton of phone calls today. Fortunately I was able to get everything taken care of except that our customer is looking to see if I cn go back to New York City again. It would be the third week running and I'd rather not go if it isn't necessary. After work I've just been visiting the forums and chatting. I did manage to a few people at the new Shadow Realm forum pissed off at me, but I guess that I should know by now not to get involved with any of their religious discussions. So it's not unexpected. I also played Ragnarok for a little while too, but didn't do very much. ^_^;;

Things went pretty good for me again today for the most part. Work wasn't too busy and I was able to get a few things done today. I'm also being sent back to New York again next week so I'll be a little scarce next week I'm afraid. This evening I've mostly been visiting online although I did go out and do a little yard work this evening.

Here I am, proud to have survived another week. Work today was really very busy right up to the very end of the day. I packed up all of my stuff this afternoon and now I'm ready to head out for another trip to the city. This evening I read manga for a while and chatted online too, but that was about it. I'm just making a little stop in here again before heading out for the night.

Saturdays usually aren't very exciting for me and today was about the same as any other. This morning I just did stuff around the house and after that I went out for a ride on the old bicycle and enjoyed the warm, but nice weather today. Later on after watching TV for a bit I visited online for a while until it was time to make dinner. And now I'm back here again. ^_^;;

It has been a few days since I've done one of these because recently I've had very little time for online activities. After work, I've been going out and doing things, so no compy time. By now I've been hopelessly left behind, so it may be a while before I'll have time to catch up to the happenings sround here.

*huggle* We missed ya! ^^ I wouldn't really worry about 'catching up' though...heh...not like we spoke of much of anything 'important' hehehe...=P

^ ahaha, how true X3



and don't worry about not being around as much Hikaru-chan ^.^ Just drop by when it's convenient for you ^-^

I have to agree with yuzu-chan on this. I sometimes do the same thing. Though...I sometimes come here when I'm bored & usually alone.

Now I'm finally back home again, so I should have a little more time for the forum and a few other things I guess. Aside from work, I was able to do few interesting things in NYC. I did a little shopping, had dinner out at a few different restaurants, and saw a baseball game one night.

Oohhh. Who was playing?

It was the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates. I'm originally from New York, so I like the Mets even though I'm not much of a baseball fan really. ^_^;;

Hmm, it seems like a long time since I've done one of these. It's only been a few days if I look back, but I guess that I've been slacking a bit. Today things got back to normal for me because I was back to work in the home office wheeeeeeee ... *cough* Well it was Monday which is never that much fun. This morning I spent finishing up the paperwork from my trip to New York City last week. This afternoon didn't go too badly and I was able to get a little bit done. The attrition of workers continues as another fellow left suddenly last weekend bound for parts unknown. I'm sure that the accountants are happy that our department is saving so much money on payroll costs. :P After work I was able to ride my bike for a little while. I also went to the Mall to buy the Guild Wars game, but I found out that my video card is too old for it and not likely to do very well. >_< If anyone has an old GeForce4 series card that they would like to sell, please let me know. ^_^;;

Guild Wars...sounds familiar. I think I've heard it before. Is it a computer game, Hikaru-san?

Yes, it's an online rpg, although not a mass multiplayer one. - www.guildwars.com



This morning I was able to find someone selling one of the video cards on ebay, so I was able to get it for a decent price. I'm not sure how long it will take to get it, but there's a chance that I might still be able to play the Guild Wars game. Work was just as chaotic and confusing as ever today, but I tried my best to not let it get me all frazzled. The problems never seem to end some days. This evening I hid in my room to get away from the kiddies for a bit because they were really going nuts for some reason tonight, but I did finally get a chance to enjoy a little time with everyone including my online friends. ^_^

Uggh, another really busy day at work again today. >_< There wasn't a lot that I was able to get done because there were so many nit picky little things to deal with. One of them was this can of worms that someone dumped on me yesterday as I was going home. I was rather annoyed by that to say the least, but they were not able to escape their fate today, muhuhwhahahaaa! XD This afternoon when I came home, my new video card had showed up, so hopefully I'll be able to play Guild Wars now. ^_^ This evening I've been mostly chatting and thinking up weird story ideas. :P

Wha...wha? o.o can of worms Hikaru-chan? Who would..? T-T

Lol, the "can of worms" is a long story and kind of funny from my point of view. My company that I work for has its share of shortcomings like every company does. A customer sent a machine back to us to get fixed and paid a lot of money for it. However, because of bumbling and a comedy of errors, that didn't happen. When the guy got it back it was still broke and wanted to know why. The other day no one wanted to take any of his phone calls so those in the loop with this found an unsuspecting dweeb to dump him on. *Points to Self* They made it sound like the world was going to end, but I didn't react differently from any other tech support call and things went rather smoothly from my perspective. Since all of the bamboozling had already occurred before I was involved, there was very little responsibility for me to take and was able to stay distant from the real egg throwing ... so to speak.



Aside from that "special" nuttiness of situations like that, work was a chaotic as ever today, but I was able to get a new job finished before I left for my upcoming four day weekend. After work I took my bike for a ride and went to the mall to buy the Guild Wars game. This evening I came home and installed it and it seems to work well enough. ^_^ Yuzuki-chan also agreed to become an admin and help me manage the forum here. It's actually a relief that I can share the responsibilty now instead of having to shoulder all of it on my own like I'd done for more than two years now. *Huggles Yuzuki-chan* You've been such a good friend for me ever since you first came here to talk about Zazu-kun and Hikaru-chan. Someday I hope that I'll be able to read one of your stories. ^_^

Today was a pretty busy day for me, but a fun day too. This morning I rolled out of bed in time to watch the Mew Mew Power show on Fox so I did get up early for me on a Saturday. XD After that I finished reading the little manual book that came with Guild Wars, but it wasn't very helpful at all. There were nice descriptions of the characters and enemies, but simple tasks like how to equip weapons or how to use the menus in general weren't described. A rather poor piece of technical writing if you ask me. Then I went outside for a ride on my bicycle because it was a beautiful sunny day today. After that I finished reading the last book of the Abhorsen trilogy which ended pretty abruptly I thought, but did leave enough of an opening to continue on to another book. When I finished that there was a brief time for me to visit online and then I made dinner for the in-laws because everyone came over here for my mother-in-law's birthday party. That ended just a short time ago and now I get a chance to visit the forum finally. Sorry for showing up so late everyone. v_v

I see Hikaru-chan ^.^ I thought you meant literally *flop* hehehe!



Mrew X3 As for the ficcies? I don?t think you?re ever going to see them. They got lost somewhere ^^;;

*looks around* I don't think Yuzu-chan wrote any fics at all. *gasp*
