Naruto Chapter 343 [Thursday • February • 22nd (2:51am)]
Spoilers, because I don't know how to do real cuts yet. D:

Snippet from a confirmed translation from Mangahelpers.com:


場面変わって一楽。サイ・ナルト・サクラの三人でラーメン食べてる
ナルト「あちっ!」
ナルト「やっぱ左手じゃ食いづれーってばよ・・」右手に包帯をしている
The scene changes to the Ichiraku. Three people- Sai, Naruto, and Sakura- are eating ramen.
Naruto- "Ah~ ouch!"
Naruto- "I guess I have to use my left hand to eat then." His right hand is wrapped in bandages.

それを見ているサクラの回想。どこかの病院。ベッドでナルトの腕を治療している
Seeing that, Sakura thinks back to when they were in the hospital. Naruto's arm was recieving medical treatment while he was in bed.

サクラ「何か所も骨折してる・・体が術にもちこたえれてない」
　　　「この新術はここぞって時だけ!多用しちゃダメだからね!」
Sakura- "That's a bone fracture you have in there. Your body can't endure the technique."
"This new technique should only be for this time! Use it anymore and you're done for!"

ナルト「へへ・・大丈夫サクラちゃんが治してくれれば」
Naruto- "Hehe...I'm alright as long as you heal me, Sakura-chan."

サクラ「そういう事言ってんじゃないの!」
　　　「医療忍術で何でもすぐに完治するわけじゃないんだから」
Sakura- "That's not what I'm saying! It's just that medical ninjutsu can't completely heal everything."

ナルト「・・」「でも・・オレってばこういうの何か嬉しいんだ」
　　　「サクラちゃんと一緒にサスケに近づいてる気がすっから」
Naruto- "..."
"But...doing something like this makes me happy."
"And that's because together with Sakura-chan, it feels as if we're getting closer to Sasuke."

はっとするサクラ。ナルトは笑う。席を近づけ「はい　あーん」とするが
そこに笑いのオチがあり、その後カカシが登場
Sakura is taken aback. Naruto laughs/smiles.
Taking a seat closer, she goes, "Right. Now say 'aa'". (as in, "eat," not "let me take your temperature.")

-fangirl moment-

Yes I know some people can also interpret this as NaruSasu, but bear with me here.

Yeah, Sai is so obviously left out here, but oh well. xD Sasuke is now regaining quite a bit of respect from some of his haters, although it seems the major hype about this chapter /isn't/ "omg Sasuke DOESN'T lurve Orochi," rather, "omg, how could he kill 1000 ninja?! Not all those Ninjas exist etc etc..."

Perhaps they'll have a better understanding when the scanlations come out and we don't have to get all our info from translated summaries. Personally, I think it's another turning point for Sasuke's character (although a lot of people had expected it...), which would mean his entire intention death threat to Naruto was a red herring made by Kishimoto.

All well. At least there's no illogical explanation for a sudden character jump. o___O

Christmas... so soon? xD [Thursday • September • 28th (3:51pm)]
Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In April I donated bone marrow to [info]galatea23 in a life-saving procedure (300 points). Last month I pushed [info]tainted4life in the mud (-17 points). Last Saturday I set [info]forkninja's puppy on fire (-66 points). Last Tuesday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole [info]galatea23's purse (30 points). Last Wednesday I broke [info]tainted4life's X-Box (-12 points).

Overall, I've been nice (235 points). For Christmas I deserve a red Radio-Flyer wagon!

</lj></lj></lj></lj></lj>
Sincerely,
Nefertieh

Irony. Funny irony. [Saturday • September • 23rd (11:00pm)]
I noticed this a while ago. Has anyone else noticed? I'm talking about the word, "ravishing."

You can describe a photo as "ravishing." You can call a painting, "ravishing." Heck, you can even call a teacup "ravishing" if you will-- after all, ravishing simply means, "extremely attractive; entrancing."

So, let's that it is derived from the verb, ravish. Here's the funny bit here-- to ravish means, "to seize and carry away by force" or "to rape; violate."

Ofcourse, this doesn't make perfect sense here -- if ravish was the verb, then the present tense for that verb would be "ravishing." However, "ravishing" as an adjective, as described above. Yet, it still sounds like what you'd expect to be the present tense of "ravish..."

I suppose violation is extremely attractive, then.

It's true. u__u [Monday • July • 31st (1:00am)]
I think I'm an internet addict. D: I found this on Wikipedia, and the bolded parts are the symptoms that I show:

A maladaptive pattern of Internet use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:

1. Tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
* A need for markedly increased amounts of time on Internet to achieve satisfaction.
* Markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of time on Internet.
2. Withdrawal, as manifested by either A or B below:
* (A) the characteristic withdrawal syndrome, 1, 2 and 3 below
1. Cessation of (or reduction) in Internet use that has been heavy and prolonged.
2. Two (or more) of the following, developing within several days to a month after Criterion:
o (a) psychomotor agitation
o (b) anxiety
o (c) obsessive thinking about what is happening on the Internet
o (d) fantasies or dreams about the Internet
o (e) voluntary or involuntary typing movements of the fingers
3. The symptoms in Criterion 2 cause distress or impairment in social, occupational or another important area of functioning
* (B) Use of Internet or a similar on-line service is engaged in to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
3. Internet is often accessed more often or for longer periods of time than was intended.
4. There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control Internet use.
5. A great deal of time is spent in activities related to Internet use (for example, buying Internet books, trying out new WWW browsers, researching Internet vendors, organizing files of downloaded materials).
6. Important family, social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced in duration and/or frequency because of Internet use.
7. Internet use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical, family, social, occupational, or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by Internet use (for example, sleep deprivation, marital difficulties, lateness for early morning appointments, neglect of occupational duties, or feelings of abandonment in significant others).

ANOTHER new layout x.x; [Saturday • July • 22nd (3:20pm)]
[ mood | Pissed ]
[ music | FFX - To Zanarkand ]

Okay, I've slept for 24 hours and woke up at 8am today. The first thing I did was, ofcourse, go online. Then I saw someone with a pretty LJ journal and decided mine was inferior so I went to get my own at ljlayouts.org. I didn't like the background so I made my own. >.>;

Unfortunately for me, the layout was outdated, so now I had to change many of the settings myself. Being un-HTML-literate as I am, doing so was equivalent to running around in the dark. >_<; After 6 hours of hard work, I've managed to complete much of what I wanted with the exception of the fact that I cannot enlarge the main scoll bar (the one on the far left of the browser) nor show a link to my userinfo.

I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING. >________< IT JUST WILL NOT WORK.

LJ hates me, I know. </3

Another New Layout. xD [Thursday • June • 29th (11:41pm)]
[ mood | crappy ]
[ music | Fullmetal Alchemist - Brothers ]

Wee. @_@ After long hours of tedious trial and error, I have finally found the way to customize the layout - properly. Last time didn't count because the only thing I've changed was the background. xP

It turned out the problem with the HTML was the Globe-Head tag or whatever, which was pretty sad considered the LJ FAQ said the reason "HTML wasn't showing" was because "the HTML must be incorrect." Pfft. Just mislead away, would ya? >__>;;;

So yeah. I chose a nice gray-and-white colour scheme and stuck a banner featuring Paine in Chibi form from FFX-2, Kingdom Hearts II style. It matches nicely with the colour, yush? x3

Now, all I need to do is upload some avvies. @__@ Oh, and I have also discovered the way to credit people! Not that I wasn't crediting them before, considering I only have one icon anyways. n.n;

Tomorrow will be the last day of school before the term ends, yet it doesn't seem to change the fact that I'm behind schoolwork, as usual. ~___~ It's 11:52pm and my speech is due in 9 hours.

Yes, I did have the whole week to finish it, but I was extremely busy. I had a really important accounting assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday, a math test on Wednesday AND an economics test today. I've hardly gotten any sleep, let alone even DECIDED on a topic to actually talk about. ;__;

Meh. I guess I'll be missing out on sleep tonight as well...

New Layout :D [Saturday • May • 6th (3:40am)]
[ mood | content ]
[ music | Time Will Tell -Dub Mix- ]

Yush, I have returned after my 6 month hiatus. In order to celerbrate this insignificant event, I have changed the layout and added it a background I made. Featuring Yuffie from Kingdom Hearts Manga, incase you didn't know already. x3

Wah. School's started for a week now and not only am I depriving myself of sleep again (oo, more technically, the time when I go to bed) and behind work, as usual. I have an English Research assignment that needs me to be done, a science assessment soon, and also an accounting assessment. I have to check if I have an assessment for economics soon, too. >___<;

It seems like Maths, probably the my best subject as of the first day I started highschool, has offically become my worst subject. I would doubt that I would get more than a 'D' on my report for maths now.

So, to relieve the stress from school, I shall procastinate. Because ignorance can be bliss for a little while.

I've completed the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II about three weeks ago. Gawsh, I simply LOVE this game~! I shall offically dub this as the BEST GAME EVER. XD <333 The only think bad about it was that I felt the ending was too short. xD It was actually pretty long, but it just /feels/ short. Maybe it's just me. >__>;

On an interesting note, it seems that Captain Jack Sparrow is voiced over by James Arnold Taylor, who performed the voice of Tidus from FFX. Oddly enough, I've read quite a few reviews (where the lazy reviewer has not bothered to check the actual credits), and it seems like a lot of people thought that Captain J. Sparrow was actually voiced by Johnny Depp himself. xD This just goes to show that actors are so talented, aren't they?

User JoeJurevicius83 on the GameFaqs board made a spin-off:
Tidus: "Auron, oblige me with a drink out of your bottle there, saavy?"

Auron: "Sorry matey, but it is gone."

Tidus: "Gone?! Why is all the rum gone?!"

XDDDDD

Reminder: Must upload more icons. x3

Chronicles of Teh Nefertieh. [Monday • November • 28th (7:27pm)]
[ mood | ..She's got the giggles again. ]
[ music | Passion ~Single~ ]

November 28
 
 
 
Seeing as I've been moody in like... the last few posts, I've decided to write something to even out the tension. Where should I start? Lets see...
 
There is a stupid virus by the name of meningitis or something I can't be bothered to spell. So, basically, the school provided vaccines because they love us. (Actually, they don't give a dollar about what happens to us, but the Government will chase them with an oversized rubber mallet it they don't.) So, Mum took the liberty of signing a "I WANT NEEDLES IN MY CHILD" form while I got blood over my shirt. It wasn't so bad, except blood doesn't exactly wash off, and that I provided a lovely "this is gonna be your fate" evidence to the shirts of the people who didn't-- but were going to-- get their vaccines later. Oh, and the stupid lady who can stick pins in my skin but not cotton for my wounds? Yeah, that banshee asked me if I was pregnant or not. I fell over laughing, 'cuz people tend to joke before they hurt you or take pictures of you. And I, obviously thinking it was a joke (fanfics are a baaad influence) laughed while Banshee's glares burned through my skull. Turns out that it wasn't a joke, and I just made myself... well, look like an airhead.
 
Err... something else... oh, I know! One day, me and Cazeh decided to walk home from school, because people tend to go home after school anyways. (Unless you really loooove the place and want to devote your entire life to a group of swans). So like, it was sunny, and there were cars, and one of the cars said they had an STI. (Actually, some idiot from the car shouted "I CAN SEE UP YOUR SKIRT LAWL.") Me and Cazeh simply stared. That idiot must of been really blind or really short, seeing as 1. I was wearing tights, boxes and everything (IT WAS COLD, DAMMIT) and 2. It wasn't windy and out skirts clung to us like glue. But yeah. We decided to shout to him, "WE'RE ACTUALLY DRAGQUEENS DRESSED AS SCHOOLGIRLS." (But seeing as he was in a car, he didn't get our message, so we decided to call him gay instead.)
 
Oh, and that reminds me! Once, not long ago, there lived a beautiful Princess called Barbie, who was made of plastic and fell in love with her plastic brother, Ken. They had plastic incest fun every night and ate plastic food so that little girls would buy them. (The truth was that these little girls actually wrote many speeches about Barbie being unable to stand/breathe/sustain a life without being called a hoe if she was a real person). Anyways, two of the little girls, who were now ugly (the one with freckles, anyways) were walking home. The one with freckles was called Nefeh while the other was called Cazeh. On the way, some random being began to recite A Midsummer Nights Dream at them. (This being was actually some wierdo in a bus who squirted water at them). Nefeh was spared as the water landed on her foot, while Cazeh had a full-blown wound in the head. Cazeh then lit the bus on fire. (In fact, she didn't have any matches, so she just glared at the bus until it started to dissolve. And the fingers, yes, she did those as well.)
 
THERE WE GO. Three interesting events that have happened in the past year in Nefeh's life. I would rant more, but I lack in the ability to sustain myself awake for long hours.

Oh, and one more thing. Must fin a way to customise the layout of LJ. x__X

Determination < Laziness [Thursday • September • 29th (12:23am)]
(-___-;) I think I'm getting old. o_o What other reason does the unfinished homework sitting on my desk have to glare at me? #__#

So, uh, how did today begin? I woke up in the afternoon, as usual, read my heart out on fanfics, and then fell asleep at 4pm. Because Mum said I needed to "Rest my eyes." And then I read again. o_O

(s) Damn, I think I have such an exciting life! (/sarcasm)


And I couldn't find any fics that suited my liking, either. T___T -sober-

-Nobody in the FFX section seems to be able to write a proper plot. It's all "YunaTidus," but the pairing sucks without a plot! >______<
-FFVIII's boring. =__=; I don't need to read about how Rinoa or Quistis go AWOL for Squall. (It seems that the male population here is only reduced to Squall).
-Kingdom Hearts isn't as strong as it use to be. KHII's gonna fix that, right? >____>
-And FFVII... I'm gonna just say I haven't found a fic that's gotten me reading for longer than a day. x_x

And it seems people have asked me, "How come you hate Aerith?" Well, I'm not anger-driven enough to commit homocide, but the simple reason would be because she's a Mary Sue. Naive, beautiful, has special abilities, comes from a very tragic past, falls in love with more than one character, makes a great "sacrifice"... I could go on and on.

You could say Yuna would be a close-in-line Mary Sue as well, but Spira's like all "Oh please, die for us," not to mention she actually keeps a distance from flirts. Oh, and FFX-2 was practially a satire of her anyways, hence demostrating Yuna actually grows more immature as she ages. So Yuna's off the hook.

And that's why I hate Aerith, not Yuna, and received a lot of angry emails~

Lovely couple, these guys. Yes, guys. [Wednesday • August • 31st (2:56am)]
It's not everyday that you enter "Antonio and Bassanio in love" into the search engine, but for homework and research purposes, I believe reserve a researcher's lisence. u_u

Yes. That's right. English = gaaaay.

It was only a year ago when my year 9 English teacher decided to read out a short story of a lusting person to the class. But this year, we are given a more *graphic* for of treatement-- we get to see some wierd set of actors kiss! :) Only one problem: They're both guys.

Shakespearean, to be precise. Antonio and Bassanio. And now, I'm forced to write about their homosexuallity because no website will make acclaims to any other opinions with supporting facts. Yay.

3:26 am. I better get started. =___=;

Vampires in Business [Friday • July • 22nd (5:46pm)]
[ mood | Lazy. The cat's sufforcating. ]
[ music | Stupid MSN Alerts.... ]

Today was fun. Oh wait, it wasn't.

Let's see... oh, yes. Have you eer tried drinking out of a glass once? Chances are, you have. But I know that you have /not/ done, is drink into a glass, except to taste an ordinary drink, and find the taste of blood all over.

"AHHHHH! I'VE TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE!" You'll scream.

Actually, that was me, but that's not the point.

Anyways, that's just how my /lovely/ day began. My lip decided to bleed without my permission. After that, I wasted 6 hours of my lifetime trying to finish my Business Studies assignment -- filling in all the non-existant numbers and all that. We've only learnt about the whole damn thing ONCE in the last week, but nooooo, 'you're smart enough to think like a professional accountant, we believe in you!'

Believe in saving yourself less teaching, you mean? =___=;

Here are all the errors I will present with great pride to my teacher.:

-Q2: No cataglory numbers. We may be 'smart,' but we aren't mindreaders and we would least expect you to remember the cataglory numbers of your own spawn.

-You mixed up your invoice sheet with a CREDIT NOTE ISSUE. I don't know about you, but I certainly won't mind being told I'm gonna get money back for something I just bought instead of owing the company. But in this case, I /am/ the company, so /I'm/ the suffergist here!

-Q7: You forgot to define which product was sent by what. But that only means I can skip 3 excersises, so I won't complain.

-Q8: I'm gonna lose 90% of all my marks because you FORGOT, AGAIN, the cash/ cheque lablings, who the drawer was, what band, branch... etc. Yes, teachers, an assignment for the whole year level will end in failure due to your forgetfulness.

Apologise to us /before/ you decide to fall of a cliff and get amnesia.

... In a less diabolical sense, ofcourse.

Anmazig- I mean amazing... [Friday • July • 22nd (12:13am)]
[ mood | gloomy ]
[ music | Eternity ~Memory of Light and Waves~ Piano Ver. ]

-It's amazing how learning about something can change your thoughts about it. For example, if I showed a person who's eyes have not been tainted of my image, they might scream and exorcise their monitor before daring to breathe again.

THAT'S HOW TRAMUTISING IT IS, PEOPLE.

Okay, so maybe I'm exadurating it a bit. But honestly, the internet is like a mask -- of your literacy is good enough, you can make somebody believe that you're Lemony Snicket or a 20 year old.

Fine, not Lemony Snicket, but yes -- a very old person. o_O;

So anyways, a person might just fall off their chair if they discover the person they're holding a conversation happens to be a 10 year old girl from asia and have no idea about it -- most likey they sound like they aren't -- and end up gaping at the monitor blankly for a few hours or so. Not that I've done it before. (No, really! I have... but there are more shocking things...)

It's also quite weird how a fanfic can leave you heartbroken for the pairing, how movies can draw tears, and how people can see you in a different light because of something being said. Maybe everyone would be just fine if nobody talked at all.

Neh, I just felt like saying that. Deep thinking, y'know? :D

Enslavement labour for today: Made a cheesecake. Washed some dishes. Got screamed at for giving out self-confidence advice.

I feel plain /weird/ today. Or 30 minutes ago -- yesterday -- and it's gonna haunt me during the night. Eeep! x_x;

Mayve it's all the real and not-so-real emotions around me? xD. Inuyasha's Kogame's annoying, and Air is too sad. I feel suicidal /for/ them. Maybe not suicidal, but just depressed. ;________;

Yeeees, Caz, this must be how you feel for your anime charries, too. u_u

I wish if mum's eye infection will heal soon. She's making me insane by going insane. ._.
