all I ever see are these ^ (bunny yoga)

@reiko: Oh! How is Xenoblade? is it fun?
and omg, that sucks. I hope your BETA comes back... maybe it's winter holidays?

also, @Weisel: that's horrifying that KFC is disgusting... XD I just had it a few days ago, hahaha!

and wow, @Ahiku, is your city all about mom and pop shops?? o.o do they hate chains?? That's actually kind of refreshing. ... Is there a McDonalds?

lmao. XD The lunch lady is the worst person to make enemies with, Ahiku!
Make peace with her again!!

They might be under FDA Regulations to not re-use leftovers. :d I know it's that way with Starbucks. Nowadays, any leftover / expired food must be thrown away at the end of the day with no exceptions... even though I used to take them home a lot when I worked there. XD

... omg xD must follow.

GUESS WHO IS SLACKING OFF AND NOT STUDYING FOR HER JAPANESE EXAM. 8DD (Hint: meeeeee)

in other news, on twitter, toi8 posted the process (from outline to finish) on one of his No.6 pieces. I think it's circulating around tumblr already tho. ... but it's got 4k likes (which is 400% times more than his usual art pieces), so it's good to know people still love No.6!! ;u;

@kare: Nezumi would be the witch... XD
But oh, you don't have Halloween where you live? o.o.... Where do you live anyway? :3

Aw, ;__; I'm sorry to hear there's been a lot of medical exams and stuff. *hug*
I hope things get better. >< Never forget to breathe and relax and take it easy and give yourself "me"-time!

@Ahiku: Okayyy~ XD I'll put up pictures next week-ish then. pfft


Speaking of Halloween, what's everyone's favorite holiday?
(well, I guess TECHNICALLY Halloween isn't a holiday, but y'know, whatever, technicalities.) I'm pretty sure Halloween is my favorite.. XD
Just because I can even go out to school in my pajamas and that can be my costume..  :3

Halloween is super big in America, but it's barely anything here in Japan... XD There's a brief mention of it, but that's it. (The whole month of October is kinda treated like Halloween here.)
BUT. The other assistant teachers and I are having some type of Halloween party and costume contest, so.. we'll see how that goes.

(I'm also gonna go to all my schools wearing a Pikachu costume. :b )

...I also want to draw something for Nezumi, Shion, or Inukashi for Halloween, but I can't think of any good ideas. T_T
I thought of maybe dressing them up as Jack and Sally from NBC, but something just didn't feel right...

omg. I was thinking about Shionpapa the other day too.

I think he's just a really irresponsible person; Hence, being able to date / get married and still flirt around, leaving his wife and kid behind, wanting to buy the No.6 leadership just to mess it up.

(makes you wonder why he was ever chosen for office... but is it possible he wasn't like this before? or did political office only show his true nature?... after all, he says:

Anyone who stands at the top of a state will change. If he doesn't change, he'll be destroyed.

That was what he'd told Nezumi about what might happen to Shion, now that Shion's in charge of the committee, but what if he'd been talking about himself? He was also at the top of a state once, so isn't it likely that it changed him? (still doesn't excuse his actions tho)

I was young and I wanted him to stop being ridiculous. But ever since he found out that Shion was on the way, he changed a little. All his attention was on the unborn baby, and he even stopped drinking and playing around with women, if only for a short while... he picked up drinking again not long after.

This quote makes me think that Shionpapa did try to stop drinking for Karan and Shion, but since he was still in political office then, maybe it got too hard for him to mentally cope?
Suppose if Rou and Shionpapa had been close friends (and I can't imagine that they're not, considering Rou and Karan are childhood friends and Shionpapa and Rou work together. They must at least be acquainted and on good terms), then he would've seen Rou being slowly consumed by Elyurias and chasing after power and glory. and maybe the stress and realization of what Man-in-Labcoat and Fennec intended to do that he panicked and started drinking again. It's not really something you can share with your family about a political struggle...

(of course, this is so much speculation. when did Rou meet Elyurias anyway? We know the forest was burnt down four years after Shion's birth - assuming Nez and Shion are the same age)

... I'm too lazy to check the novel right now, but if you look here  at the lovely timeline Miz made, it pretty much shows that Shionpapa was right on the money, if you assume he leaves before Oct 7th, 2001 ("I had a baby that wasn't even a month old yet.") *_* This is so interesting.
