Quizzes, etc.

Current Mood: Boggled (there's something wrong with the 45% so far of what I have written of the Navy Epilogue, I'm just not sure what it is)
Current Music: Toxic by Britney Spears (I don't like her much, but the song's pretty catchy)

I've taken a lot of quizzes in my whole net life; sadly, I hardly ever save any of the "proof" thingies showing my results. But what little I have saved of the URLs of those, I'll be placing in this entry. I've currently saved two. I'll be putting more soon.

Elrond...well. I suppose there's something good about that, though I've never thought of myself as the "Elrond" type. I think I'm more Gimli-ish, but obviously, this quiz says otherwise. Anyway, I do like Elrond...more so in the Tolkien books than in the movie, though. He didn't do much in the War of the Rings trilogy, but he was quite a character in the other books (Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales). He does exude wisdom and knowledge and strength and all that all throughout, so that's something good, I guess. Do I have wisdom? Weeelll...yes, if there's a "tooth" attached to it.^^;;; But the real thing? I'm not so sure.

Speaking of Rings...I'm rooting for ROTK in the Oscars, no matter how good they say the other movies are. ROTK should bag the award--they all deserve it. Peter Jackson deserves the best director award, too. David Wenham should get an award for longest, most protruding nose. Viggo Mortensen should get an award for being the oiliest. Orlando Bloom should get an award for having the best hairdo at all times. Lastly, John Rhys-Davies should get an award for being the funniest character in the movie. Well, him and Treebeard.^_^ I LOVE Treebeard.

And oh YEAH--Gollum. How can I forget. Andy Serkis is phenomenal as Gollum, he really is. I love the character to pieces. "Leave now and never come back." Hah. I love that line (wait, that was in The Two Towers...yeesh). Rather, "The preciousss will be oursss...the fat hobbitssesss knowsss..."


Hao's Pants - Lucky you! You've got STYLE! And the
best pants on the list! That's why they have a
shrine! All of Hao's powers secretly derive
from these awesome pants. Don't believe that
Great Spirit of Fire crap. HIROYUKI LIES.

Which Shaman King character's pants should YOU wear?
brought to you by Quizilla

Yeah...well. Hao's pants. I *wanted* Hao's pants badly, so I kind of chose the answers that led to...Hao's Pants.^^;;; Predictably what anyone who takes this quiz would do, I guess. There's something quite explicitly obvious about the choices in the quiz, that it doesn't really cut out as valid. Anyway, that's irrelevant, because this is just for fun. However, I would have liked to get into Lyserg or Ren's pants, too...I mean...*cough* I would have liked to have their pants as well. Yeah. That's what I meant.

Speaking of SK...here's a little bit of my notes for the Epilogue of Navy. I have a little problem with it, currently. It might take a while before I post it...like maybe this weekend, the earliest. Anyway, here it is:

*1. I like it and all, but there's something wrong with it...I'm just not sure what. Do a revision, probably tomorrow.
*2. The baby is born at 7 am Beijing time, 8 am Tokyo time, and 11:30pm (the day before) London time (Jeanne is with Lyserg at the mansion). I suck at computing time zones.
*3. Manta is at work (somewhere in North America, whereabouts unknown); Chocolove is probably at work as well (New York, 5:30 pm) so no calls. They don't need to call. I don't need to provide air time for them. Do I?

The first one is the worst of it all, though. The others I can add into the story. But knowing that there's something wrong with the way the story is without knowing -what- exactly is wrong...that's the worst. Hopefully I'll be able to solve this soon.

Anyhow, the surest thing is, I'll be posting this chapter side by side with the two smut side fics, which means, if I take too long in finishing those two, even if I have -this- finished, I won't be doing any posting. When everything as in EVERYTHING is done, that's when the posting will take place. I'm trying to make the juices flow (aarghh...not THOSE juices...cease, perverted mind, cease). Unfortunately, setting the mood is always the hardest, and that's my problem for the RXP lemonish side fic. Maybe I'll write the sex first...it's always the easiest.

But the thing is, I always write the mood along with the sex. At the same time. So without the mood, no sex.>_< Darn it.

Speaking of sex, I've thought a lot about Hao/Jeanne for the past couple of...days. And I seriously think I'll never be able to see them together in anything except really torrid, hot sex...love not included. I just don't see them doing it in any passionate or loving sort of way. I don't see Jeanne ever falling in love with Hao or whatever, and I don't see her as the soft little delicate thing that everyone seems to think she is. The soft, delicate fragile whatnot is just the exterior. Repeat: EXTERIOR. Looks can be deceiving, as it is with her. Underneath that...virginal aura she seems to exude to everyone, deep inside, she's tough, aggressive, seductive...what have you. Anna-like, though not as demonstrative. She's a little more subtle.

And yes, it is EXTREMELY possible that she would want to be leading when she and Lyserg are having sex. And honestly, I think Lyserg would enjoy it...just as Yoh enjoys having Anna dominate him. There's something quite...MANLY about being dominated by a woman, I'm just not sure what it is.

And if we talk about Ren...well...this guy is half-dominant, half-dominated. Pilica's exterior is something similar to that of Jeanne's, except that everyone knows exactly how she is--brutal, frank, firm, tough...and dominating. Well, depending on the person, at least. If it's her brother, a full domination can be expected when it comes to training and responsibilities and such, but when it comes to other things, ultimately, he is still her older brother, and he takes care of her much like a second father, meaning, extreme protectiveness, no matter how reluctant she is to accept it.
On the other hand, if it's Ren...the softness in her kicks in. There's just something about that guy which makes every woman want -him- to take care of -her-, if you know what I mean. There's something about him that can make a woman feel like a woman...and in some ways, Pilica is no exception. Despite the tough exterior she has, she still needs and wants protection...and not just any kind of protection, but...the kind that Ren can give. However, in the same manner, despite his extremely tough, unemotional facade, in reality, Ren is a lost little boy in need of a lot of protection, too....and a lot of love. And Pilica provides him with exactly that.

If we're talking about sex, these two would be half and half. There are times when Ren would want to be on top (and leading) as well as times when -he- would let Pilica be on top and leading...or else, she would demand it from him, and he would give in. Now if you're thinking that Ren would never let a woman dominate over him, ESPECIALLY in bed, you are dead wrong. I think he'd be open to the possibility. Besides, having the woman leading and on top is quite kinky and enjoyable.^_^

Horo and Tamao...I'm still thinking about this, but from what I know of Tamao, she wouldn't mind being dominated...and Horo wouldn't mind dominating over her. She's like the traditional delicate little perfect bride, and although that's not all who she is, well...she gives off that aura. Although I do believe she's only shy around Anna, Yoh, and the Asakura family. With other people, I think she's more...vocal and expressive. Still though, she grew up soft, and she will probably remain soft even when she turns, say, twenty-plus or so. I guess with her, the way she acts depends on who you are...but not to say that she's got different personalities...it's just that she deals with different kinds of people in different ways, which makes a lot of sense.

With Horo-horo...this guy is in need of protection, but a different kind of protection than what is typically thought--more exactly on the kind of protection Tamao can give. Pilica can only do so much to protect him this way (make sure he eats right, he's healthy and taken care of, that kind of thing). Horo is desperately in need of tender loving care that only Tamao...sweet, soft Tamao can give him. Although Pilica is capable of giving that kind of love, she couldn't very well give it to her brother now, could she? I mean, how incestuous is that?

As for Horo...well, we know what he can be to Tamao. It's no secret that she's desperately in love with Yoh, and I think even though she understands that Yoh and Anna are truly meant for each other, deep inside of her, she still keeps this little sparkling flicker of hope that one day, he'll return her feelings. She'll probably keep this vigil until she realizes it's for naught...when Yoh and Anna finally marry, that is. No matter how hard she tries to accept it all, she still gets her heart broken...and -this- is the ONLY possible time when Horo can come in.

The way I figured, once Yoh and Anna are married and once they have that Onsen business in the works, Tamao would still be around to help them out...and Horo, as Yoh's friend, would also be around...to feed off on the couple's kindness. Hence, that thing with the food (in Celebrations). For a little while, Tamao nurses her broken heart (in futility, because she feels the pain every time she sees Yoh and Anna together), and whilst she is doing that, here enters Horo-horo to demand food from her. Annoyance comes over Tamao, and Horo continues to demand food from her as the time passes by. In the end, she forgets all about her broken heart because of Horo-horo's tireless countless demands for food...but she doesn't realize it until years later. She fell hard and deep for Yoh, and because he never reciprocated her feelings, she almost crashed and burned...ALMOST...if it wasn't for Horo-horo. The weirdest thing of all was...if she hadn't thought about it all, she would never realize what he was able to do--that he had broken her fall and caught her just before she had hit the ground, and in the most unlikely way--through annoying her. Theirs would certainly be an example of love being like a wildflower--that it blooms in the strangest places, and in the strangest of situations.^_^

Well, what do you know, I've formed the plot of my HoroXTamao side story. I'm sure Yuri would be pleased.^^

I still don't have a title. Anyway, here are my title options:

1. Forget-me-Nots and Roses (my tentative as of late; it's kinda long)
2. Crash and Burn (uh...a song title?)
3. Wild Flowers (eww, sounds too girly)
4. Someone to Catch Me (more like a title chapter)
5. Questions and Answers (sounds like an SAT book)
6. Fortunes, Fate, and the Future (sounds good. kinda longer than the first one, though)

Here's a little chapter/title sketch thing I cooked up:

Forget-Me-Nots and Roses. [Questions and Answers.] [Fortunes, Fate, and the Future.]

Prologue: The Prediction  [Will it Happen?]  [Maybe, Maybe Not.]
Chapter 1: The Journey Starts [Where Are We?]  [Right Here.]
Chapter 2: Happiness Blooms  [What is Happiness?]  [You Are.]
Chapter 3: The Withering Flower  [Why?]  [I Don't Know.]
Chapter 4: Awakening Storm  [What Does it All Mean?]  [I'm Not Sure.]
Chapter 5: Memories of Her  [How Can I Tell Her?]  [Just Tell Her.]
Chapter 6: His Plea  [Do You Love Me?]  [I Do.]
Chapter 7: An Unexpected Visit  [What is Love?]  [Love is You.]
Epilogue: The Future Begins  [If I Fall, Will You Catch Me?]  [Yes.]

Umm...I think I'll still go with the first one (and the first column) for now. Until I think of something better.

Current Mood: Same as above
Current Music: Girlfriend by Justin Timberlake (stupid goddamn neighbors)
