Yeah, this took a lot of time to make. Including 1.5 hours of beating cream to make whipped cream icing - which I only used a little of cause putting freshly whipped cream into fridge for too long = BAD. But now at least I know I can make whipped cream :D

Hmmm...it tastes...er...interesting. Not as sweet as the ones made from cake mixes, which is good, but could maybe use more sugar :P Also needs to be lighter and moister >_<

...

I dun wanna put it in the fridge cause I'm a'scared that my flatmates will ruin it D: I mean, I don't mind if they eat it, as long as they cut it properly and stuff... T___T


EDIT: I take back what I said about the sweetness. After eating a few more slices, I have concluded that it is just right :D

I am D:

NOOOOOOOOOOO WHHHHHHYYYY???

T_________________T

It...it'll be okay...we still have lotsa great players... (hopefully they won't leave too T___T)

Anyways, now on to *sniff* happier things. After reading THIS article (thanks Eileen :P), I decided to examine Hilton's handwriting in more detail. Here's what I found (click for bigger version):

PWN!

So someone found cheat codes for KH2: Final Mix that let you substitute Goofy and/or Donald for boss characters. Thing is, these bosses stay as bosses instead of becoming party members :P

So you get stuff like Sora vs. three Xigbars, Sora vs. Saix, Axel and Axel, and my personal favorite, Sora getting severely raped:

This looks like a job for apulapul2000! Who recently managed to beat Terra in 44 seconds O_O

Finally, some progress(ion)

Woot, raided Plane of Torment tonight and killed Saryrn!!!

Saryrn - The Mistress of Torment and Pain
Born a woman of striking beauty, she now rules the Demi-Plane of Pain, a hot, damp and uncomfortable place...Saryrn busies herself by spending personal time with those cursed enough to live in her realm. She captures and torments her subjects mentally and physically and completely at random. The length of their torment before she releases them again, is also completely random - based mainly upon her whims. Those who fall into her hands may suffer but a few moments or for months at a time. All live with the fear that at any time, she may choose them as a partner.

Some sources also indicate that she is a REALLY pissed off ex-girlfriend :P

Some pics:


At the start of the raid, zoning into the Plane - lake of blood and a fine bloody mist in the air :P


Saryrn herself (way in the background, cause we hadn't started fighting her yet)
Plus I got a Baton of Torment off Salczek the Fleshgrinder XD Itssso pretttyyy...

Oooo...and about a week ago, I also went on a mini-raid against Xanamech Nezmirthafen:


No actual pics, but woot! Killshot!

Ph34r teh DEATH ERASAH!!!

So I found the Death Note pilot (Chapter 0) online...it was funny :P My favorite parts, click to enlarge:

I'm so glad the Death Eraser didn't make it into the canon :P


Lol, cheap quiz thingy
So yeah, Chapter 0 is quite lame in comparison to the actual DN series :P

At times like these, I could really use a Death Note...

...to kill whoever cast the voice actors for the English DN dub D:

Light no longer sounds smart, now he just sounds like some snivelling, bratty kid >_<

And people who don't know that L's using a voice modifier are gonna be really confused/disturbed. Plus L's real voice at the end sounds too...normal? emotional?not dead-like? Non-L, I would call it *nods*

This again proves that SUBS > DUBS.

This probably has no meaning to anyone else, but...

So...cooool.... O___O

Translation: Final raid event from the newest EQ expansion, it'll probably take a few weeks to beat. Vampire god vs. Sun god, with mortals (players) interfering as always. Something that I will never, ever see...cause I lack the time/skills/equipment T__T

<3 Mayong Mistmoore's sword-twirly animation XD Heh, poor Sol Ro is an older model (by a few years), so it's crappier :P

Holy crap, lotsa text

The interview with Nomura got translated:

In [KHI], the King searches for a keyblade in the realm of darkness, but when he meets Ansem the Wise, is the realm of light keyblade he has the one that Sora is currently using?

Nomura: No, the King has the ability to use keyblades from both the Realm of Darkness and of Light. This is an important point, there isn't just one keyblade from each world, just as many as there are people with qualified hearts.

During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?

Nomura: No, the height of the chairs is not fixated, they move. That is to say, the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest and to be at the same height as him would have a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn't do that. (laughs)

In the end of Sora and Riku's stories in [KH Re:CoM], Roxas looks back while Hayner and the rest are walking and eating ice cream, and without seeming to care, Hayner and the others continue walking. Is this because they can't see Roxas?

Nomura: Well that, it's just because they don't know Roxas that they don't notice him, not because they can't see him. At that time, right after Xemnas explains Roxas' name, Axel says to leave things to him. Then, Roxas seems jealous of how Hayner and the others are enjoying themselves while eating ice cream, and Axel interprets this as him wanting some ice cream, so he is obliged to go buy him some.

In the real Twilight Town, didn't Roxas cross paths with Hayner and the others and make aquaintances with them?

Nomura: I suppose. You can think whatever you want about that.

What triggered Roxas' seperation from the Organization?

Nomura: Because he kept having recurring dreams of Sora, someone he didn't know, he felt he needed to leave the Organization to find out who these people he didn't know were. Because Axel didn't want him to go, he didn't tell Sora about Roxas in Castle Oblivion, did he?

In Riku's ending in [KH Re:CoM], could you tell us the meaning of the scene where the King and Riku are walking together and Riku suddenly plops down.

Nomura: That's because Riku realized he couldn't completely get rid of the darkness inside of him. The King mentioned it in [KHII], that because Riku held Xehanort's heartless in his heart he disappeared from the King's sight. It's a sort of foreshadowing. In this scene, the King's face looks worried for a moment because he felt that Riku might eventually no longer be there. Riku headed towards Diz in order to restore Sora's memories to normal, but in the end his departure from the King was so he wouldn't show his preparations to use the darkness.

Could you tell us at what point Riku covered his eyes?

Nomura: When he departed from the King. You don't know after the scene, but in Riku's ending in [KH Re:CoM], when he comes to wherever Diz is, he's already covered his eyes.

Please confirm some things about Castle Oblivion. In KHII FM's additional event "The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep", you can gather from Xigbar and Zexion's conversation that Castle Oblivion existed in the Inbetween Realm before the birth of the Organization. The Organization then found it and used it for experiments about memories and to look for the Chamber of Awakening, right?

Nomura: Yes. Since their conversation was about Marluxia's entry, they discovered the Castle before that. In fact its use, according to the Other Ansem Report 7, was for only 13 Organization members. Namine awoke in Castle Oblivion, but because she and Roxas were born at the same time, half of the Organization moved to the Castle.

In KHII FM's additional event "To Put an End to Everything", Sora says "It should have been easy to say thanks to Namine, but I couldn't say it". At this point in time, does Sora remember the things that happened with Namine?

Nomura: If he remembers, it's because Namine's existence was made possible by Sora, and when Namine and Roxas return to Kairi and Sora, many things were connected. Since Sora never got to say thanks to Namine, please think of that as a hint.

In the additional event "Farwell to a Friend", there's a scene where Axel tells Roxas "You really do have a heart, don't you". What is the actual case here?

Nomura: In this scene, it ends bringing up more mysteries about Roxas, so for the answer, maybe take care to follow your hunches well, it's also related to Xehanort's memories, but I can't give any specifics now.

We'd like to inquire about the new secret movie "Birth By Sleep". In the new event "The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep", Xigbar mentions a "group that wields keyblades". Is he talking about the 3 armored people in the movie?

Nomura: Yes, Xigbar witnessed them when he was a disciple to Ansem the Wise.

The Lingering Sentiment is the same as the armored youth in the movie, but when he fights Sora he mentions "Aqua" and "Ven". Are those the names of the other 2?

Nomura: Yes, the blue haired girl is Aqua

What is the armored youth's name?

Nomura: His name appeared once in code in the 2006 Tokyo Game Show Promotional Video. Also, Ven is actually a nickname, his real name is a little bit longer. Sora, Riku, and Kairi's names can be seen as "Sky, Land, and Sea", the 3 armored people's names take the shape of different properties of the world "Water, Wind, and Earth".

Ven looks an awful lot like Roxas...

Nomura: I can't give any specifics about that. He may just resemble him, and if there is a connection, Sora may be related too. What I can say right now is that these mysteries are all connected to the story.

In the beginning, the armored youth's eyes are blue, but at the end they change to gold. Is this revealing a change in him?

Nomura: I can't give specifics about this either... I think everyone's imaginations are pretty capable so please try and anticipate a lot of things.

From a promotional video - the code translates to "Master Xehanort's Avenger, his name is Terra. Not yet awakened, he is connected to those two."
Since I'm studying for an exam right now, I'll just leave a single comment for now:

Lol, girl's name! XD

(Yeah, I know it's Latin and all, but it's still girly :P)

I was right! XD

So a new interview with Nomura (the Squeenix guy) got published and I was right!

He has stated in the Interview that the female Knight's name is indeed "Aqua" and the Knight that looks like Roxas is named "Ven", and also states that their names are also references to Water, Wind, and Earth. Hopefully this information will clear up alot of things. It should also be noted that Sora, Riku, and Kairi also share similar elements.

Sora = Sky as Ven = Wind
Kairi has a similar kanji to Umi which = Sea as Water = Aqua
Riku = Land as Earth = ???

Yay for crazy rant theories!

Also, lookit what someone pointed out:

Play around with Xehanort's name (minus the x, of course) and you can spell "earth" although you're left with 2 useless letters ...

Intwwweeesting...this looks like a job for the Internet Anagram Server!

Some funny results:

• ON EARTH - Okeee...
  
• NO HEART - Not surprised
  
• A RENT HO - First Xemnas -> Mansex, now this :P
  
• TAN HERO - Well, he's tan
  
• ANOTHER - Ara?! Seeing as how someone's "other" refers to their Nobody/Somebody, what's "Another"? Especially significant considering this symbol below:

Third symbol = "Another" type of being?
I swear, these rants are therapeutic...you shoulda seen my Harry Potter speculation rants :P

Er...wow...

Hamas Mickey Mouse:

So yeah, this can't lead anywhere good...

In honor of the coming game...

The Chelsea players get asked who they think is the best-looking player among them :P

Hahahaha, I like how uncomfortable they all look...and the comment about Ashley Cole and "all his creams." But wth, he picked himself >_< (Note: If he's playing, the Arsenal fans are really gonna tear into him on Sunday - wish I was there T___T)

And bwah, Ballack looks better than Cudicini... <_< (He's the one getting spit on by Fabregas ^___^)


But all Arsenal players look better than those in Chelsea anyways! So there! XP I WANT THEM TO BEAT CHELSEA ON SUNDAY, DAMMIT!!! RAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

...

What an incredibly spastic post this has been...

...and now I have a pic of Lampard on the front page of my blog D:

Paper's boring :P

I got tired of writing notes on paper over and over again, and developing calluses from holding a pen, so...yeah...

The marker wipes off completely, so no harm done = no room fees. Writing with a big fat marker is funner ^___^ (And no, it is NOT because of the fumes! >_<)

When fandoms collide

Colbert fighting off Rowling, while Asian fans go nuts at the polls

I love what the fanbases are saying about each other, too:

From MuggleNet, a HP fansite

"You have to understand that Stephen Colbert's fans are OBSESSIVE!!! In an unhealthy way. They're also geeks who know how to write voting programs to cheat and "tip the scaled" more than we can. Sucks, but hey.... With that said, I love Stephen, but I love J.K. Rowling WAY"

Retort from ColbertNation.com

"I believe he/she meant "scales." And regarding the alleged "unhealthy" obsession with Mr. Colbert... well, it's a bit hypocritcal, isn't it?"

"Haha, I also love the implication that people who enjoy Harry Potter aren't geeks at all."

Ah, seeing people as obsessive as I am makes me warm and fuzzy inside. We're all freaks! ^__^

I swear, this is just some experiment Time is doing to see how obsessive people can get. They should know by now that online voting leads to chaos :P

With that said, I'm still supporting Colbert. HE DEMANDS IT O_O

EDIT: Aahaha, I think the Harry Potter fans are actually voting manually instead of using macros :P

EDIT 2: Lol, wonder how that happened *whistles innocently*


I swear, most of those votes aren't mine... >_>

<3 Arsenal

Arsenal 3-1 Manchester City
Not bad :D And Fabregas scored again! Hope he keeps it up now that he's finally started :P As always, pictures:


Teams training before the game (Arsenal on far end of field)


In front of Arsenal's goal (you can tell the sun set between this and the first pic :P)


Pretty crappy picture of Fabregas and Rosicky (who both scored ^__^) taking a corner near where I was sitting


The final score, WOOT!
Well, that's the last game I get to watch T_____T For a few years, at least...

I'll be back, though! I swear I'll come back to London and watch them play again! RAAAAAAAA!!!

(probably gonna go back to the stadium one more time before I leave to buy more merchandise too <_<)

What a beauuuutiful day...

Arsenal 2-1 Bolton
And I was there to watch it :D


The Kickoff


Gunnersaurus shooting presents into the crowd at half-time (Note: It was 73 degrees today, I feel sorry for whoever was in that suit O_O)


So nice and sunny :D
Campo got sent off today too...such a nice day XD

Side note: I also learnt that drinking a 0.5 L cup of Coke at the start of the game and trying to hold it for 45 minutes is not a good idea >_<

Mini Continuation Rant

Okay, at first I just thought that Roxas looking like Ven (I'm calling him that cause it's easier to type) might be a coincidence. Cause Squeenix DOES make a lot of blonde, spiky-haired characters. But, yeah:

Exactly the same hairstyle, eyes, nose, etc. That's definately Roxas. Or is Roxas definately Ven?

In my bout of insomnia last night, I remembered some dialogue from KHII that might explain why Roxas looks the way he does :P

From the scene where Naminé and Roxas talk to each other near the end of the game:

Roxas: You said we'd meet again, but when we did, we might not recognize each other.
Naminé: I did, didn't I?
Roxas: But I knew you.
Naminé: Mmm...it's strange.
Roxas: I think I understand. I see myself the way you remember me. And you see yourself the way I remember you.

So Roxas' appearance comes from how Naminé remembers him! And for some reason, Naminé remembers him as Ven.

Now, the only connection between Naminé and Ven so far is that they were both in Castle Oblivion, Naminé during KH: Chain of Memories and Ven (or what's left of him) being stored in the "Room of Awakening".

That's all I got so far =/

And yeah, I'm crazy.

Poor Roxas, though...His entire being basically belongs to Sora and now not even his appearance is really his :P

EDIT: Another idea - Roxas looks like Ven cause Ven's related to Sora somehow. So Sora's Nobody just took the appearance of someone like Sora and having the same blood as him, but not actually him :P

Damn, Oda... O_O

Just...damn... O_O

Warning: Huge Rant Ahead

Okok, so after the Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Secret Ending came out, someone came up with this theory on Xehanort/the next KH game (which will NOT be called KH3, apparently).

I would like to add to that theory.

*inhales deeply*

So the basic theory is this:

Now let me make some points :P

1) Fighting the Knight Guy
I believe people are calling him the Enigmatic Soldier (ES). So anyways, Sora can actually fight ES in Final Mix. I think it's a memory of the ES or something, not the actual present-day one. Before the fight, the ES has some interesting things to say:

"Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... who are you? ..."

"...All I have is my hatred towards Xehanort..."

Ok, first of all, some people have speculated that Aqua and Ven refer to these two from the secret ending:

Interesting note: There may be some similarity between these 3 soldiers/knights and Sora, Riku and Kairi...er, other than the fact that they're 3 people - 2 guys, 1 girl - that have Keyblades.

Aqua's name is obviously related to water. Well, so is Kairi's (Kai = sea). Now, Riku's name comes from the Japanese word for land, and Sora comes from sky. So maybe Ven is somehow air/earth related? It sounds like it could be air related - vent, ventilation and all :P So this may be a hint that these two groups of three people may be related in some way or another. Or there could be parallels between them.

Next point: ES says that all he has is hatred towards Xehanort. This makes sense with the big theory above, cause the ES was fighting the bald dude (= Xehanort in theory) in the secret ending. Also, the ES would be pretty pissed at Xehanort for possessing his body... :P


2) Xemnas' past

We learn a little about Xemnas from this extra scene in Final Mix (part 2). Important points:

Note how Xigbar mentions Xemnas' past,

People with Keyblades started to appear and fought great battles. When they were gone, a man who had lost his memories appeared. Xemnas... no... Xehanort was taken in by Ansem around that time, was he not?

This supports the theory, as the ES could have been possessed by the original Xehanort, losing his memories and eventually becoming Xehanort himself.

But new Xehanort remembers something about his past as the ES...

In the video, the suit of armor lying on the floor belonged to Aqua. Xemnas addresses it as "friend," supporting the theory that he was the ES and still remembers being the ES.

Next, the room he's in, according to Vexen and Zexion, is the "Room of Sleep." Xigbar elaborates,

The "Room of Sleep"... the underground laboratory where we were studying the darkness within people's hearts, the place which Ansem ordered us to seal-away... The first thing Xemnas did when he got rid of our wise yet bothersome leader was to release the seal and make that room in the depths of the laboratory. After that he frequently went down there and I could hear him talking with someone. Isn't that odd? Xemnas is supposed to be in there alone.

Well, the new secret ending video begins with these words:
Room of Sleep connected to Birth by Sleep somehow? Maybe Xemnas is using the Room of Sleep as a rebirthing place (that sounds wrong O_o) to bring back Aqua.

Furthermore, he might be trying to bring back Ven too. Xigbar mentions a similar room in Castle Oblivion (featured as an Org13 base in Chain of Memories),

With the "Room of Sleep" comes the "Room of Awakening", the other place. That is what he is seeking; that room, which was not made by Xemnas. Perhaps that is where the other... "friend" is."

If the other friend's not Ven, I'd be very surprised :P So, maybe the next KH game will mention Xemnas (aka ES possessed by original Xehanort) trying to bring his friends back to life.

(Alternate theory: Xemnas is trying to use those rooms to "reawaken" his former self and his friends are helping. Again, "Birth by Sleep" makes sense cause he's being reborn in the "Room of Sleep.")

Side note: HOLY CRAP LOOKIT HOW MUCH I'VE WRITTEN. So sad... T___T


3) The Ansem Report
Okay, in the Ansem Report #1 that was mentioned in the original theory picture, Ansem notes how,

"It seems that another of my disciples, Even, also has a strong interest in Xehanort's memories."

Huh, Even (Vexen) really wants to know more about Xehanort...maybe it's cause he thinks that Xehanort has knowledge that will give Vexen new powers. ICE POWERS, PERHAPS?!


Again showing that ES was possessed by original Xehanort. New Xehanort retained old Xehanort's powers and somehow gave them to Vexen :P Also, old Xehanort could control Earth too (seen in secret ending), so that explains Lexaeus' power too.


4) *drops dead from over-analysis*
Final note, WTH IS WITH THE POINTY EARS???!!!


*brain explodes*

Some members of Org13 have pointy ears too (e.g. Xigbar, Saix). 'Tis the true mystery of Kingdom Hearts O_O

...

I also can't figure out why old Xehanort and the ES both use Keyblades but Xehanort's Heartless and Xemnas don't =/ Oh well...

Omg new uber character models for EQ!

From the official site:

We are pleased to announce that we have developed new technology that allows us to change the character models for all races at the same time. This includes the following:

New Graphics Engine: We completely overhauled the EverQuest graphics engine... yes again. All character models have been retextured using this new technology and the results are beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Dynamic effects for animations: Each movement of the model now acts as a separate entity, allowing more life-like animations.

Enhanced weapon visage: While we didn't change the look of the weapons, they sure look better on the new character models.

They look so cool O_O

Apparently these models are actually in the game right now :P Heh, <3 April 1st...

Shopping again... >_>

No splurging though :P

Both from H&M...some of the only things there that WEREN'T in shockingly bright colors or were black and white with ugly patterns -_-

The post-Colbert era

...I'm not so sure this was the best way to recover from last year. Hmmm...I haven't watched "Whose Line" in a long time...

*SPLURGE*

New shoes...I deserved to splurge on stuff, dammit!

T________T

Everton 1-0 Arsenal

Conceded a goal in the last minute from a set piece again...

New EQ Compilation

Niiiicccceeeee... O_O

"EverQuest The Anniversary Edition will only be available at participating retail locations and is scheduled for release on April 23, 2007, for the suggested retail price of US$19.99.

After eight successful years of EverQuest, we wanted to celebrate with the release of a very special Anniversary Edition, which consists of all the expansions ever created for EverQuest, including the most recently released expansion: The Buried Sea,” said Clint Worley, Producer for EverQuest. “The Anniversary Edition is not only chock-full of content, but priced to allow players both old and new to join in the online experience known as EverQuest."

That's the original game plus THIRTEEN EXPANSIONS for $19.99!!! XD This is the perfect time for new people to try out EQ *hint hint* and for me to get the expansions I'm missing :P "Will only be available at participating retail locations," hope that includes somewhere in the UK... T___T

Speaking of EQ...

Behold! A funny EQ video!

Woot! :D

Also, I'm going to these games:

Arsenal vs. Bolton, April 14
Arsenal vs. Man City, April 17 (no more delays! O_O"")

My mission will be to try out the pies at the stadium (easy to carry out), try out the donuts (maybe), and buy the programme with the winning lucky draw number (1/60,000 chance -_-).

Amusing tidbit from a very bored person

So I'm reading this book for my class called "Comrades and Chicken Ranchers" - it's about Jewish chicken ranchers in California - when I read this,

"I told my landsman in San Francisco who was my cosigner. He was so mad they refused his signature alone! He said, "To hell with them! I will speak to a friend in Petaluma, Mordecai Haller."

Okay, so not EXACTLY Mordecai Heller, but close enough for me to be amused :P

*imagines the cold-blooder tuxedo kitty as a chicken rancher* If I had time, I would draw that :P

Note: Mordecai Haller just cosigned the loan. I'm sure if Mordecai Heller was in similar circumstances, the result would have been more entertaining...and bloody...

...and yes, I'm sad. So BWAH!
