"'Following the problems in Britain's financial sector, the problems have now hit Japan. In the past week, Origami Bank folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank is going to cut some of its branches. Yesterday it was reported that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, and today, shares in Kamikaze Bank nosedived. While Samurai Bank is soldering on, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black. Five hundred staff at Karate Bank got the chop, and something fishy seems to be going on at Sushi Bank. Oh, yes - and the Kama Sutra Bank is completely screwed!'" (Paul Smith, Spotlight January 2009)

Well, something personal among all these memes. ^^ Yesterday I finished watching Digimon Adventure with Japanese audio and English subs. The first time I saw this series was about 9 years ago at the German TV with German dub, which is, by the way, quite good. Ever since that time I loved Yamato aka Matt. Isn't he cute? ^-^

Beforeryuu_rogue  released their fansub, I watched the episodes as raws and I was quite surprised how much I understood. There were just a few things that I didn't get and so I decided to watch Digimon Adventure 02 completly as RAW, since there are no fansubs I could get. I watched episode 1-3 till now and understood quite much, since I remember some things from the time I watched it at German TV. ^-^
I was just surprised that they changed the names that much, cause Yolei's japanese name is Miyako and Cody's is Iori (Just like the hot guitarist from Dollis Marry ^-^).

Well, what I actually wanted to write is  that I am happy finishing it but at the same time I am sad cause Yamato doesn't appear very much in 02 (though he looks very good in 02 and he is singer and guitarist in a rock band. ^-^)

One last thing: I just realized that I like 2 characters from different anime series whose last name is Ishida (石田). ishida Yamato and Ishida Uryuu. Second one is from Bleach. ^-^

Just found it by chance. ^^

The creepy fact: Everything is TRUE!!! I know at least one person who is afraid of me. Everyone who knows me in RL should know who I mean.  There would be no reason for that, but as it seems be afraid is better than returning my money. Not my problem, I just think it's funny. ^-^

You can't cry now, there's nothing to feel.

Yesterday was my birthday and I had the great luck that there was a Anime and J-Music Party at a Gothic Club. ^^
It was really great!!! They played great music and it was really bustling. We danced to the German versions of Anime openings and I danced waltz with Andrea to Wind by Akeboshi. The last was kind of surreal and the other people copied it. ^^ Furthermore some people I don't like came too, but that didn't matter to me. T was afraid and didn't want to dance next to me and Isa ignored me and I ignored her.
It was about 5:30 a.m. when I came home and I was hoarse, because I sang along with every song I could.^^

Since I'm very curious, I wanted to know my element and that's it:



I'm actually a bit surprised, but I guess it matches me well.^-^

At ninjafy  you can make an application and the others vote which character from Naruto you are. Since I found this very interesting, I made my application and the result was:

1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomise.
4. Find photos of the first 25 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.
6. Paste this in your journal and do it too, so I can have fun guessing as well.

( Here we go! )

HAPPY GUESSING! Some are really easy, but some are really tough!

There they are.^^

I was just looking for a download able version of the Basic Kanji Book 2 when I found these interesting links.

And I also found out about a real good book for learning Kanji. It's tittle is "Remembering the Kanji" and it's by James W. Heisig.

There is also a German edition of it, so getting it shouldn't be problem. The German title is: " Die Kanji lernen und behalten" and this is it's ISBN and other stuff:

James W. Heisig, Robert Rauther
ISBN: 3-465-04019-8 /
978-3-465-04019-4

Well, I somehow came about this...

I used the page www.japan-guide.com to find some and immediately got some answers to my add. ^^ But I had the problem, that my mail provider didn't show the Japanese font  right, so I got a new mail address at www.yahoo.co.jp.  It was a bit confusing at the beginning, because I could hardly read something, but with the help of www.wadoku.de (A German-Japanese dictionary), I had little problems at all. ^-^

Today's a strange day. -.- Mari won't come and I saw that everybody did that handwritten meme. I want too! It'd be possible theoretically, but practically I dunno where my dad put the cables for the scanner. めんどくせえ
Unfortunately is my Mum's at home. But she's busy at the moment, so I got some free time now.
I'd like to watch some Anime, but I don't know what.  I'm dome with 新世紀エバンゲリオン[Neon Genesis Evangelion], there's no new episode of ブリーチ[Bleach] yet and I can't watch ナルト [Naruto] without Mari. Maybe some エックス [X] or エルフェン リード[Elfen Lied]. I'll see...
