"You must have chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star."—Friedrich Nietzsche

It was the quote at the bottom of the screen when I went to the add new entry. Don't ask me why, but it... intrigues me. It tickles at some part of me. Soul? Heart? Being? Don't know.

I do know there is much chaos residing within the earthly confines o' mine. I'd share, but it's a large part of me, and I'd probably become rather flat without it. Granted, I don't let it out in public much...

Yes, this quote intrigues me quite a lot.

Of course, this is all on the assumption that Nietzche is not being literal in the 'dancing star' part.

I'm tempted to look this name up. Anyone who can think of such a mind-tickling quote using chaos is one who should be looked into, if you ask me.

Anyway.

Thank you, Kit. One, for clearly stating it was indeed your opinion and yours alone, and for another, just not going on and on about how horrible the voices are.

If people don't like the voices, fine. I can accept that.

I'm just tired of hearing about it all the time.

Sakura's voice doesn't really phase me, in truth. Though if she was portrayed as you say she is in the manga (i.e. sweet and caring) I'dve barfed up a spleen a long time ago. Yes, she can be bratty, but not to the point (for me anyway) of where I want to choke her.

Ruby. ...dead. Now.

Spinel looks... freaky. Very very very freaky.

Yue... has ruined me for life because he is only an animated chara, yet no man will ever live up to his standards.

Don't mind me, I'm insane.

All die-hard, must have original fanatics can just smack me now if they want (though I do smack back) for this next piece that is, of course, strictly opinion.

I've heard the English voice for Yue, and I've heard the Japanese.

I do not like the Japanese voice.

Yue strikes me as an imposing figure. He radiates a strong persona (unless he's in a really f-ed up situation like he was in the... in today's second episode that I am not spoiling). He is stoic, detached... pretty much an opposite of Julian ( ::snorts:: I prefer the change here, too for the first name. I could do without the Star, though).

To me and my ears, his Japanese voice sounded far too young and not imposing in any sense of the word. My friend said perhaps in the original they wanted him to sound effeminate. It didn't take with me. Yes, he's quite effeminate looking, IMO (and not a bloody thing wrong with THAT, I assure you), but I want the voice to match his persona moreso than his looks. I don't think it matched up with the Japanese voice in this instance.

This isn't a 'dubs are better' argument, either, because I have the exact opposite problem with Clow's English voice. Here I think the voice should have matched the looks a bit more. They made him sound too old and too 'god-like' for. me. He didn't strike me as being that imposing as much as simply interested in his magic... think scientist.

So, I have a problem with English and Japanese. If it doesn't fit to me, it just doesn't fit. Period.

Moving right along...

Eli. I like the name change here. Then again, I like the name Eli, so I'm quite biased. I honestly can't say I care for his voice, but, I can deal. It's no biggie one way or another.

Tori (Another name I like, but I like To-ya equally). There's not much to say other than he looks with Julian, but I'm actually into the lesser writ pairing of him and Yue far as fandom goes. Just me.

Though stoic with stoic... still, perhaps Tori could reach that something within Yue that manifests itself in Julian...

Makes sense.

Ruby. ...dead. Now.

Dear RightStuf,
     You have yet to debit my card and send me my Nightwalker DVDs. What, something wrong with my money? Not green enough for you? I'm only going to say this once: send me the vamp bish or you'll all be offered up to Set and your souls imprisoned within the bodies of mindless, Barney-lovin' five year olds.
     Have a nice day.

Sorry, had to get that out.

::sigh:: The clouds have been burned away, so I'm forced to see this city the way it is, versus the way I can imagine it to be when it's overcast.

Whoever said 'no man is an island...' wasn't a moderately intelligent being living in this neck of the woods.

I'm using moderate because anything more will sound even more vain. Compared to some, I'm probably quite ignorant... but I'm admittedly brighter than the... denizens... I'm forced to live around. Not vanity, just honesty.

After all, life doesn't revolve around having a good time, getting drunk, getting blowed, or getting one's hair/nails/car done in some manner for me.

::sigh::

It's just occured to me that there is no contact infomation on the Book of Genism. I shall have to remedy that. I'm also thinking of getting a domain name for it: bookofgenism.com Maybe? I would have gotten just genism.com, but it's taken, even though there's not a page for it. Sheeh.

Rambling, so don't expect my topics to connect from here on out, or any previous point, either.

I need sex for the brain, which is vastly different than physical sexual intercourse. I want one good mental orgasm to get me out of this slump. My surreal CD is mental foreplay, except for the last song which I really need to skip over, but I'm an emotional masochist, hence why it's still playing even now.

I need a mental orgasm to forget about how this song makes me feel.

I should change the two boxes on the left, but I can't think of anything new to put. I'll do it later.

After a visit to the perl forum, I've managed to rewrite the script/program to parse text and keep the line breaks. It's my own frontpage without the moronic coding and formatting exactly the way I want it to. Whee. I should start recoding everything with it, now, I suppose. Blegh, don't want to. All those files.

I wish I knew enough to write in a routine to create the file it outputs and stick it in the directory, but I'm no where near good enough for that.

::idly wonders how many people are actually attending Yaoicon this time around::

I'm going to see if I can create a savings account towards that. I'll have a whole year, at least... for the next time, of course.

And in two years, Kit can go. If she so desires. /^^\

I should restart the RP from SB onto another board, but all my creative muses are quite in the coma, they are.

Rambling rambling rambling...

And for a split second, a poetry muse yawned. Should I go with it? Perhaps in another post.

Funny what my last line of thought in this entry is going to be... in that I wonder if I will even know when my sperm-donor passes, or will I find out some time after the fact.
