Links
I now have a bouncy little warning face to tell you when a link contains possibly objectionable material!
Along time ago, I attempted to translate some
Yugioh manga. I'm not sure if this particular
manga is sold in stores, But I assure you the
translation is from when I was first learning
Japanese and it's pretty bad, so you'll want
to go buy the manga yourself anyway...But
since I forgot my password and have no way to
delete it, here are the pages I scanslated:
HERE!!!
The following is a rant I put up about two
years ago:
Due to some problems I've been having with
various web hosting services, I've had to
make an entirely separate page for the Yugioh
theme songs in order to avoid having to do
remote linking (which pretty much no servers
allow nowadays). But you'll note that the files
are not Mp3s because I can't support files that
big. They are in Real Audio format, but as always,
if for some reason there is no way on earth you
can possibly get your computer to play an .rm or
.ram file, just ask me and i'll see what I can
do. Anyway, now that you've listened to my long,
boring horrific rant...
CLICK HERE AND GO TO THE YUGIOH SONG SECTION!
Yep there you have it. But because of really
super great inventions like megaupload and
fileshare, I might be able to find my original
files upload them and reupload them every now
and then so that no one will have to worry about
what happens when my bandwidth is rapidly eaten!
As I may have mentioned in the Yugioh section
above, There are sites today that weren't
there a few years ago that will allow me to
upload videos and get them to people without
having to create an entirely different site
such as on angelfire. So now I won't only
upload X Japan videos like in the old days,
I'll upload other things as well every now
and then and put the links here. If there is
something you want that has expired, let me
know and I'll see if I can reupload the file
for you.
I also decided to upload some of the
not-so-avaliable songs, especially some of
X's early indies songs (i.e. pre-Vanishing
Vision). All links are megaupload or sendspace):
This particular song was written by
former guitarist Jun:
Time Trip Loving
This is another indies song (the file
quality is really bad sorry):
No Connexion
One of X's demos (still bad quality
sorrrryyyyyyy!):
Right Now
This is unfortunately NOT the rare EP
version of the song, but it's still good:
Break the Darkness
YES!!! I found the song I've been
searching for!!!
Lady in Tears
A very very very old version of Kurenai
in which Toshi sounds like a chipmunk
(*cough* as usual...). The file quality is
terrible and I can hardly tell on my speakers,
but it appears to be the version BEFORE the
1986 demo english version.:
Kurenai
When I stumbled across this file again,
I had forgotten what it was. At first I
thought it might be from the X Indies
bootleg CD that Taiji released, but then
I listened to it and realized that it
sounds nothing like post-indies X and
also, there seems to be only a guitar
and a bass in the arrangement, which
leads me to believe it's from the Jun&
Hikaru era. But no one ever talks about
it...So someone tell me...Is this a
cover of something? What is it?
Only Way
This is not really as old as the others,
but it's still fun! ^.^ X Japan's Cover
of T-rex's "20th Century Boy":
20th Century Boy
And just for kicks, here's the original
piece of glam rock hell by T-rex (Marc
Bolan) (note: NOT the X version...the X
version was better in my opinion ^o^):
T-Rex - 20th Century Boy
I came across the following when digging
through some really old files of mine.
Before X, hide was in a band called
Saver Tiger, or Yokosuka Saver Tiger
(so as not to confuse it with Saber
Tiger; both are spelled the same in
Japanese). I managed to actually find
a couple of their songs I had laying
around. Bad quality files but worth a
a listen.
Good news! (sort of....) I found
my bootleg of of Saver Tiger live
on 12/29/86! I figured it would be
pretty useless to actually upload
the entire 500mg file because it
would take forever to download, so
here are youtube links instead...
Click on a number to go to that part
(I had to split it into 8 parts):
Okiiiii...so u r probably wondering what the
heck this "unforgotten" thing is. Well it was my band from a verrrrry
long time ago in a galazy faaaaaaar away... ::audience gasps in
horror and tries to run away from insanity:: Oh no you don't! ::grabs audience
and pulls them back::
Unforgotten was basically me, my best friend Kimmy-chan
and one of our other bouncy friends Kait
(for a while). We decided that all female
bands/pop stars just sucked, so we made
our own! Unfortunately...or maybe fortunately...
depending on your level of tact and taste (^o^)
moving to different areas of the country forced
us long ago to stop recording, but kimmy and I
still play together sometimes now that we're
alllll grown up. And there will always be the
happy, slightly off-key memories.
Now go listen to our low-key, low-quality mp3's,
though I could have sworn there were more the
last time I pasted this link: SONGS
(don't even think about claiming rights! These
are PUBLISHED! ::pink spider sticks her nose up
in the air really high and catches unpleasent things
in it:: ::shuts up and puts it down.::) Now go
bask in the glory of our ancient crazy teenage
selves of long ago!!!!!!!!! BE OUR FAN!!!!!!
::smiles pleadingly reaaaaallllly nice:: or just
pretend or something....

Pictures?
Yes...If you've been here before, you may
recall that there used to be several galleries
here. Unfortunately, they have all gotten
deleted over the years, but rest assured I'm
working on getting them back up. In the meantime,
One picture has survived and that is the chart
of former X Japan members, which

Band of the Month
Now, what is this? You see, each month
I'll [supposedly] stick a new band up here for people to
check out. Most of them will be j-rock...heheh...but there
might be other kinds, too. Anyway, onto the band of the
month!
----------------------------------------------
Okay so last month I said I would
update every week with a new K-rock
band. I guess...er...(as usual),
I sort of lied...Mostly because I
discovered a bunch of deadlines I
thought I had until April 1st to meet
ACTUALLY were on March 1st. blurg.
Anyway so what I'm going to do instead
is have a band of the month and
[hopefully] BELOW it, update with
a K-rock band every 2 weeks or so
for like the next month or two.
Anyway, the band of the month is:
Danger Gang
Until now, I seriously thought the
only girl in visual kei was Kuroneko
from Onmyou-za. I was wrong! (thankfully)
Danger Gang is a 4-piece ALL FEMALE
visual rock band (I'm assuming from
Tokyo). They started playing together
some time in 2002 (with their original
bassist Ka-e who left in 2004). Anyway,
after seeing more than my share of cutesy
Japanese girls who sing anime pop songs
for a living, it's nice to find some
that can play guitar and scream their
brains out as well as any of the guys
(if not better at times...). It seems
they're just now gaining popularity and
as far as I know they're still an indie
band, but they really are as good as
your typical all-guy V.K. band. (now
honestly...not as good as X or Malice
Mizer...lol, they've got some work to do,
...But as good as Kra or Gazette, etc...)
And it's nice to hear a lead vocalist that
doesn't sound like a barfing vampire
chipmunk guy that got kicked in the nuts.
Anyway, if these girls gain popularity,
I won't complain. I saw "We won't lose
to guys" written on their site and fell
in love. lol...NOW LISTEN!
Line up:
Waka (vocalist)
Hiko (guitarist)
Thera (bassist as of 2005)
Rei (drummer)
Hee hee hee...don't forget to
look alllllll over the page for weird bloggy stuff posted
down the sides!!!!!!!

Yeah....I forgot to update this but this is important.
Every American citizen should read this. Then read your
Constitutional Bill of Rights (below). Be educated.
Protest. NOW. Dear government that used to be for the

free from unreasonable searches without probable cause and
our forefathers are rolling in their graves at your
injustice.
Here it is...impending totalitarianism with just a dash of
throwing-out-the-bill-of-rights.
CLICK. NOW.
And before you get on your high horse and start bashing
the president alone, recall that your congress had to pass
it. It should worry you that this is bipartisan injustice.
Here, know your rights. How many will they take away
before we realize we're no longer The United States and
we're becoming Nazi Germany?

ok can't update just yet....
that requires some cleaning/debugging of code. ;p
meanwhile, i'm going through a cpop phase. these songs are
extremely catchy:
(I have a special fondness for that one because i'm
studying chinese and it's the first vid where i actually
understood some of the little karaoke lyrics. ^_________^)
more:
(cute poisoning. really dorky. i still don't think its
dorkiness quite tops that of H.O.T.'s "Candy" though.
still, i'm further convinced that all asian pop stars
belong in a large international preschool. lol)
(this sounds like it should be a touching song. I don't
know enough to know if it is or not, but i'll just keep
telling myself that. ^_^)
(His falsetto is something else....Yeah I know it's
supposed to be all chinese-opera-y but still....lol
Lately, I'm convinced everything Jay Chou does is really
cool but in sort of a shinhwa-speaking-english sort of way.
lol....like cool....but you can't take it completely
seriously...)
(This one is damn catchy.)
that's enough for now i suppose....

Wow....pitas is still here?
Amazing....
You know....I'm thinking of ressurecting bloggy again.
Don't know if that would be super or not, but I definitely
miss it. ToT
Yes. yes i should....even though I am swamped in boundary
layer theory, research, and more technical papers than I
could fend off if they were evil and i was an ultraninja...
no i don't know what an ultraninja is. i just made it up
because it sounded awesome. speaking of which, iron man was
awesome.
i've never read the comic book (cough choke. this is
usually NEVER the case....rare exception...).
all i know is that a guy wearing an iron suit, frying
terrorists to a crisp with flame throwers while there is
heavy metal playing in the background = awesome.
and i know that testing jet propulsion systems in a room
full of badass cars = awesome.
and i know that putting romance on the back burner (unlike
in spider man -_-''') so you have more time in a movie to
blow up stuff = awesome.
oh yeah and despite the fact that they forgot to throw in a
few sonic booms when the raptors reached mach 1 (they
didn't forget it with iron man, though. go figure)....it
was pretty ok.
it is pretty sad when you can nitpick all the science in it
though. -_-''''''''
engineering will be the death of me or something....maybe i
should forgo that phd in rocket science so that i can more
thoroughly enjoy movies with occasional faulty science.
in any case, this movie just seeped badass from its pores.
the only way they could have possibly made it more awesome
is if tony stark was sephiroth and his suit had a gibson
flying V that fired flames, shurikens, and lightning - all
at the same time.
see it. now.
tune in next time to see me cut and paste a review of the
second most retarded attempt at a japanese "boys' love"
movie ever.
i have officially resurrected my lonely bloggy.

broke to go to LA for a concert....BUT taka was there. And
I don't think none of the major websites have it out yet,
but she says that miyavi was confirmed as one of the

After a hiatus of a day or so, I had contemplated my
blog to the point where I realized that narrating it in
an angsty vampire novel fashion was becoming somewhat
monotonous, if not overtly emo. It was then that I
suddenly adopted a new voice that would take over my
blogs...The voice of a creature known as "the valley girl".
She came on the wings of the only pink night in history...a
night as pink as the repulsive pink jeans people used to
wear with pony-tailed t-shirts in the eighties. She came
without love and without fear...except for the fear of
broken nails. And with her she brought terror and suffering
and the cries of innocent children wailing about the
injustice of the very existence of this pretentious she-
devil -
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" the narrator cried suddenly as
she was killed by the approaching bimbo.
And then she came-----
----
LIEK!!! OMG. WTF? Okayyyyeee. So I was just like, you know,
dropping in or whateverrrrrz to like narrate this bloooog.
Uhg. What the heck was that retaaaarrrrd narator doing to
Spider's life story? I mean gawwwwd. What the heck is that
word "pretentious" mean anywaaaaayz? Well. It's like so not
important you knowwww?
What is important is that liek...omg. Spider was on the web
todaaayyy like wasting time doing some of those...uh...you
know like math things ?for fun?! uhg...But she totally
found a site with GUYS. Liek oh my gawd. Those dudes that
work in host clubs in japan. And Spider didn't really
like...you know..guys...that much (although IIII, the
narrator like totally don't get WHYYYYEEE) but she thought
some of them were so massively UHGLEEEEEYYYYYYY, and
wondered how they got to be like HOOOOOSSSSTS. And she was
all "OMG gag me with a spooooon!"
And uhg. She had to go to the doctorrrr. Like duh you know.
And i guess liek her mom said "fast so they can take your
blood sample". What's fast? Liek...the blood
taking...or...whateverz? I don't get it. But she liek
starved herself for a day then and then she went to teh
doctor who was all like "omg you didn't need to not eat i
could take your blood sample anywayz" and then spider was
all like "omg really?" and so yeah....
But anyway she got tired and stared at the computer for
like waaaaaay to totally long cuz she was sooooo upset that
the bandwidth was messed up. (liek i don't know what
bandwidth iisssssss but she was liek upset about it or
something.)
Then she got liek upset about ---oh my GAWD I just broke a
nail on teh keyboard!!!!!! I'm seriously going to liek DIE
here -
*PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN*
*valley girl got pwned.*
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present the new
narrator of Spider's blog: myself, a slightly off-color
clone of John Cleese. Due to the
fact that Ms. Valley Girl was extremely annoying, she was
promptly beat to death with several unfortunate rats. She
has mastered the art of not being seen, but has NOT yet
mastered the art of not being painfully stupid, as it were.
And so, we shall continue next time with another blog.

...I wished I could write something
eloquent...Unfortunately, all I could think about that
night was how I had to go the very next day to place
myself in the hands of the evil medical professionals that
would spell my doom in the form of prescribed
medications. Sweat ran down my brow and my thoughts
trailed off into the distance. It was no use trying to
capture them. They had run off to find freedom...wherever
thoughts run to. They wouldn't be coming back.

Sometime around one thirty in the morning, a
certain nostalgic feeling made its grand entrance into my
mind and I went digging up scraps of thoughts long passed,
to ease my troubles. But of peace I found none...only
old sadness, and an aching itch in a place in my heart
where it seemed nothing could reach.
An image of her eyes burned inside me. The memories of her
words were like leaping flames gnawing at the core of my
heart which hung in the balance, roasting helplessly over
them.
She was gone without a trace, without a goodbye, and this
the last time.
Why only now did I ironically manage to uncover words we
had shared before? Was it that fate chose to slap me across
the face with the irony of loss?
A promise between friends means nothing but to the world of
yesterday.
I wanted to finish the poem on the screen before me...but
the promise had been broken. She'd fled her past for the
arms of the world.
An unreturned message stared me in the face and I gave up,
letting the tears come at last...breaking down the dam I'd
built up for years.
They splashed onto my fingers, trying to cleanse every sin
I'd ever typed.
At least to the face of this unfeeling computer screen I
could be honest. And with regards to emotion...at least my
tears were free, for there was now no one left to hold them
back.
I saw upon the screen, a poem written, and while having
been modified over the years, it was still brief but
pungent...The words bored into my head...
"When we've passed beyond the sky
Let's come back as butterflies
Then it will show, for all to see,
Friendship lives eternally"
Yet, I felt eternity must have died somewhere.
One final thought..."Why did you have to hurt so much? Why
couldn't you have just said goodbye?"
...And without reservation, I pressed "delete," plunging into the darkness of slumber.

I'm getting bored with the usual rant-format of my entries...So I've decided to start narrating them instead!!!!
The rain fell with delicate taps upon the roof of the
house, yet it overwhelmed me...each thump like a round of
machine gun ammo fired into my brain. The night grew long
as my eyelids grew all but shut. I had to keep them
open...I had to type just a few more words.
In vain, I struggled to pour my heart into a few
meaningless sentences that would be the conclusion of a
chapter of a book that the world would never read. Despite
the futile nature of my attempts to write, I continued,
persisting stubbornly beneath the dillusion that one day my
empty words would fall on a listening ear...and have
eventual purpose...eventual purpose that would allow my
soul to rest.
But for the time being, I was caught up in a writer's block
and all I could hear was that everpresent clash of rain and
thunder. Screaming in my head. Distracting...so
distracting...And yet poetic.
So poetically chaotic in fact that I felt more of the story
come to me. My fingers struggled to type as fast as
thoughts trickled into my mind. The last few words were
upon me when suddenly -
"WOULD YOU CHANGE OUT THE LAUNDRY ALREADY???????" came the
voice of my mother, echoing through the house like a shot
ringing out in the dead of night. I replied affirmatively,
yet she continued to spout vengeful words in my direction,
regarding the day's happenings, and the seemingly cluttered
state in which I kept my mind...and my room.
However, I insisted on living a dual life for the moment,
on the one hand appearing to hang on mother's every word,
on the other hand clicking away at my exhausted keyboard.
Dissention at last ceased as she resolved to take her leave
and find some comfort and relief, albiet temporary, in the
arms of a warm blanket for the night.
I returned to the comically senseless array of words strewn
across the word processor before me and stared at them.
My coffee was almost gone.
It was well after midnight.
"Surely I am the most boring person who ever existed," I
thought, playing with the pencil perched precariously
behind my ear.
There was no inspiration in this place. All was
lifeless...A cloud of suffocation surrounded the house in
which I lived and not even the light of the sun could shine
through, though the illusion of sunlight I often found
myself imagining. My words ran dry and I gave up.
The night life called, and I responded...
And still the rain clashed against the rooftop.

Just wondering if anyone else out there thinks that the
RIAA's targeting of college students is slightly illegal.
First of all, how do they obtain the right to go browsing
through IP logs to figure out who is downloading what? I
mean do the universities allow it? And last time I
checked, you had to have some kind of warrant to go
browsing through people's personal information. Just
because someone is a college student doesn't mean they
don't have rights. If they're an adult, they have the same
rights under the constitution. One I might mention is due
process of law. It seems that the RIAA has decided to
become the new government and essentially "fine" students
who they merely suspect are downloading files. Hey, first
of all, they may not necessarily be the ones using their
computers. It could be a friend, or a brother or sister on
campus, too. Second, who gave them permission to ask for
what is essentially a bribe of $3000 dollars? The students
are essentially said that if they don't pay $3000 dollars,
they'll be sued. This is essentially a nail in the coffin
because really, who would challenge it? The government is,
and has always been on the side of big business. Whoever
has the most money wins. And I doubt a college student has
the money to hire a good lawyer, much less one who can
challenge a company. If you are such a student, by all
means step up and save your fellow men. Anyway, that can't
possibly be legal...They're essentially suing outside of
court. It's bullying. Especially since most of these kids
can't even afford themselves a new pair of shoes, much
less a $3000 dollar fine. And look, these assholes don't
need more money, especially not for the kind of crap most
kids are downloading. It's bullying. And it's NOT entirely
legal and I wish someone would wake up and see this. Even
students deserve due process, no matter how many greedy
record executives start throwing fits because some 20 year
old downloaded a few oldies or something. I give my strong
support to those schools who at least require a subpoena
and will not process the RIAA's letters. I was
like...What? They're not doing it this obvious, legal,
simple way?...This is the way it should be done, because
it is a legal court summons, not bullying. If the RIAA is
too afraid of the case being rejected to do things the
legal way, then it is obviously not too important of an
issue to bother with in the first place.
Hey speaking of which here's a good article.
Here is another interesting one:
The law
that has supposedly been cited in the RIAA's letters to schools
Okay first off...since when do they consider themselves a
governmental entity, since obviously they're NOT doing
things with the help of a court....? Also, I heard that
most of the people who get these letters are tech people
who have no idea what the heck this law is talking about.
So they're taking advantage of people here. Also, this
states that the records have to be kept essentially if
legal action is pending, so I guess the RIAA interprets
this to mean "you have to keep records because we might
decide to send your students threats sometime if we feel
like it." But the RIAA isn't a governmental entity. Isn't
it just like...in the interest group category? If that? So
really, a university's tech group could get this letter
and just say "Ha we don't feel like keeping records..."
And then just keep deleting everything. Then if someone
were to come and ask for their records kept for the last
180 days they could show them...welll....nothing...and
save the degrees of hundreds of broke students who need to
one day feed families and stay above the poverty level
that idiots in congress have refused to acknowledge the
existence of. Also, something I noticed about this law is
that they never give a legal definition of "customer". I
wouldn't consider a student on a university's network a
customer, technically. It's a bit of a stretch if you
consider all the details. Even if you say that the student
pays tuition and fees and therefore is paying for the use
of the network, it's still not entirely true. The parents
could be paying tuition, in which case they'd be
responsible. Or the money could have come from another
source, such as a scholarship or financial aid award,
which is sometimes awarded to the student, but put
directly towards tuition and it never enters the bank
account of the student. Should the school be sued in this
case?
In any case, if it's payment the RIAA wants, they're
definitely not hitting up the right group of people -
college students, grandmas, three-year-olds.
They're trying to bully people and show them who's boss.
It's a very low, final, desperate measure to keep the last
shreds of the corrupt entertainment industry from dying.
Let it die. If I never see another fall out boy album or
lame hip hop music video with fake ganstas again, it'll be
too soon...
I would ask someone for an address to write to, but my
speech would fall on deaf ears. The government no longer
protects the people and the rich (and the record
executives) live in aristocratic immunity and bliss...
Well except for Paris Hilton, though she is the least of
my worries. As my brother says, the reason for her
sentence is because she is "criminally stupid."
Anyway this kind of makes me want to bitch about how cops
really suck and have stopped defending the innocent too
but I won't...I'm sure there are one or two good ones
still left out there...pulling over grandmas when they
need to, but still saving people from certain rape in dark
alleys...
But most are wimps and lack balls.
You think you're any different? Would you die for someone?
Would you protect justice? Or will you eat doughnuts and
make excuses while a teenage girl is getting harassed? Or
watch while a hispanic man is pulled over out of suspicion
for something because he's hispanic, while a white guy in
a truck zooms past at 30 mph over the speed limit with a
half-naked girl hanging out the window, high?
If you're different then by all means stand up and say
something to your corrupt colleagues. And reassure me
because I'm losing faith in the USA a person at a time.
This was my united states...Now it's becoming a suburban,
united nightmare.
Once I become a mad scientist, I'm moving to mars.
Whatever happened to justice?

Wellll today is my birthday. It was very bouncy and nice.
My family likes me and gave me all sorts of YAY THINGS!!!!
I am luved. *thinks about how she's going to make the
little blasted heart emoticon.....it doesn't work....can't
find the right keys....gives up -_- *
I am also annoyed. I had some wine today. *yes i'm going to
explain how these two phrases are related...* I was like
alllllright it's my birthday, sure why not have a drink. I
had something to drink on the new year with mom an dad
because they usually have some kind of toast, but it wasn't
more than a glass of wine I think. Anyway that left me with
a bricked feeling though. So I thought...Alright. I've got
this happy strawberry flavored wine. It's only 6% alcohol
by volume. If I have like 1/3 of a glass, I should be
totally okay.
WRONGGGGGGGGGG.
UHGGGGGGGGGGGG.
I didn't have more than aboue 3 sips before I got
that "bricked" feeling again. And by bricked I mean it
feels like someone hit you in the head with a brick, except
at that point where the brick has just hit your head and
you haven't started feeling pain yet. So I stopped drinking
it...GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HOW CAN PEOPLE POSSIBLY
LIKE THAT FEELING???????? I DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway,
I had absentmindedly had coffee before though, so then I
started getting all shakey and weird. That scared the crap
out me. I totally thought I was going to be
sick...Fortunately it's been nearly two hours and I haven't
gotten sick yet so I think I'm okay.
One thing's for sure though. I've had it. Alcohol is not
for me. I'm definitely never having it again...
AND I write manga for fun when I'm not being a mad scientist.
Go HERE!!!!!!!! and I'll looooove you forever! \^^/

um....................a lot of other
people i'm probably forgetting too...
but mostly an odd bunch of things.
some suck some don't, but all of them
are loud or weird. ^o^ Do I
listen to everything? Of course not.
I can't listen to things
I've never found before! Like for example
...er...Kenyan polka! I'm
sure there is at least ONE person
in kenya who does polka. Alas I
have not found this artist yet so
I don't listen to them. However
I will try any music that you cram
down my throat. ^^ Yes, even
country (although I you might find
yourself at the end of an
exceptionally long spear after forcing
me to endure more than one
song.), oh except for paris hilton .
I won't listen to her.
nooooo no no no no thanks....even a freak
like me has to draw the line.
Fav things to do: Sit in my room and play
guitar or draw, get on the internet,
pray for people, write/record songs
Pet Peeves: people who don't write back,
"tolerance", heero yuy, my own
helplessness, reality tv (esp.
survivor), reality dating shows
(i.e. elima-date), pop bitches, avril
lavigne & michelle branch (the guitar
devils from hell!! my dad used to
compete with people like them. I HATE
THEM!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
DIE!!! ok i'm done now), people who take
anime over to america and royally dice
all the voices with their chopped-
up feelingless overdubs...bleh, most
of my fellow americans actually
bother me come to think of it...
let's see...other things...
when people drive 20mph right next
to each other in all the lanes so you
can't pass them, when mom calls me and
I say "what" and she doesn't answer,
the bureaucracy, the word "biatch", the
word "noice" in place of "nice" to mean
"cool", condescending people, bitchy
fangirls (the hyper ones are okay though!),
heero yuy, the fact that korean girls call
their boyfriends "oppa" *shudder*.

Night Live, whatever that show is

a lot of those funny little shows about
teenagers on Nickelodeon, Ellen,
the less-obscene things on Adult Swim,
dethclock metalocalypse (this might
possibly be the most brilliantly
witty cartoon I've ever seen).
Honestly though, I watch about 15
minutes of TV every two weeks. So this
list doesn't really matter...oh well.
Worst ridiculous fears: Chuck e. Cheese,
long white halls with only a few doors
Yeah that pretty much sums it up...

The Fic:
NICKS
Want people to read your odd (or normal)
fanfics, but don't feel like making
a website to put them on? Or maybe
you just want them on another site so
more people will read them? C'mon!
The more fanfics are posted here,
the better! That's what this section is
for! If you feel like it, then go
ahead and read:
I don't own Yugioh, One Piece,
or any of the other mangas animes,
bands, or music you see on this site
unless I specifically say so (that's
the best way i can put it ^-^).
Now I'l say some of that specific
stuff: I DO own any of the manga
characters I've created, and I
own/have rights to (along with my
bandmate) Unforgotten and all of our
songs (though I can't imagine why you'd
want to steal them.), though I don't
own the other media (which is for
trial purposes only and should be
deleted by the user within 24 hours).
However, as much as I would
like to control it, I am not and cannot
be responsible for what the visitors
to this site do with the content I do
not own. I also own the layout and
pretty much all of the full-length poems
I post on the site (give or take an
occasional quote). I don't own the
free scripts used on this site.
I own the fanfics, EXCEPT for those
which are designated as having an
author different from Yuku Hayashi/Pink
Spider. Those are the property of their
respective owners and have been posted
on this site with their prior knowledge
and consent. I do own the Pink
Spider logo and the background and all
the bizarre little spider and spider
web graphics that adorn the
site...WHEW!!!!!! If THAT wasn't
thourough...I don't know
WHAT is!!!...
