I got really bored last night so I suddenly had this idea. I would assign points to the characters that and sort of worked out which school have the most point etc (as I said, I got really bored.) So this is basically the system I used: Characters that I dislike quite a bit: -2 points. Characters that I slightly dislike: -1 point. Characters I am indifferent to: no points at all.

my proper blog is at http://autumn-leaf16.livejournal.com/ It is such a big relief to have finished my exams…although I really am not looking forward to the result but it is really good to be able to laze around, as well as getting up late without feeling guilty… Anyway…a lot of the people who become my friend via prince of tennis online seem to be major Rikkai fans, so I would really appreciate it if you guys leave me your opinions about what I will be talking about. First of all, I want to make my stand quite clear, although most people would probably know it since I have said this more then once. I am a major Shiraishi and Shitenhouji fan. The first prince of tennis stuff I have seen are probably the yakiniku competition and the joking tennis’s match, then Shiraishi’s match, and then I read the whole thing. I initially didn’t like Rikkai much but now I like them a bit more. I have read almost all of the manga but I think there are some bits in the finals that I have missed... Basically I charged through the manga, and to be honest I was at the stage of just wanting to find out the end of every match and see Shitenhouji coming out. By that time we only had up to volume 37 so I read the rest on line, then I kind of got spaced out at the singles 3 of the nationals, but then due to suddenly reading the bit where Sanada threw away his head on challenge, I was really touched so I started to read it again. But I then sort of stopped in doubles 2, I think I resumed reading when I saw how hard Kaidou was fighting.

I don’t know what I am doing half the time…I think I’ll probably only be back to normal when exams finish, which is next Tuesday… Anyway…here is a story I wrote quite some time ago…I think about a year ago. I really just did this due to a random ‘why not?’ feeling after I had this crazy idea. This is actually a Hotohori x Soi pairing. I don’t think I really support this pairing because I just don’t see it happening, although I do think they deserve someone as devoted as the other. I think I wrote it due to a ‘what if and why not’ since these two are my favorite character, and no one seemed to have done one. So I did this fan fiction, based on the idea of what if he and Soi meet and fell in love. Personally I think it’ll be a super tragic story, because they will not be able to get together- he is the emperor so he’ll never be allowed to marry her. Disclaimer: I own nothing of this. I don’t think you’ll believe me, but I really am sorry at what I did to your people. I suppose this serves as another sign of how I can never be your empress. Not that the emperor of Konan can ever marry someone who was a prostitute, as well as being one of the seishi of Seiryuu.

my proper blog is at http://autumn-leaf16.livejournal.com/ My lecturer sort of went berserk yesterday...this was naturally quite a surprise because one does not expect one’s lecturer to go berserk, especially when you take account of why he went berserk. I think most lecturer and teachers are quite touchy about any one talking in their class, and I think this is really understandable, because they are really doing this for the students. But this lecturer seem to take it really personally, if someone who can’t speak English come to my lecturers, then they will soon learn the following sayings: “Don’t talk”, “Some body is talking”, “I don’t understand how anyone can be so stupid to talk when they paid so much to come to class”, because he keeps on saying these lines, he actually says them quite a lot. I will say on an average of three times per day. Well, he started off quite calm, he’ll just say: “If you don’t want to listen then go outside,”, “If you want to talk then go outside.” He would be quite calm. But yesterday he went berserk. He had his back turned as he was referring to something on the screen behind him and someone was naturally talking. He then went...berserk... Seriously...

my proper blog is at http://autumn-leaf16.livejournal.com/ I must mention, the wavering clock is a series of one shots that are not not connected together at all. They are all completely separated from each other. Summary: an alternative interpretation on why Chitose quit just before the semi-final. Watanabe/Shiraishi, with one sided Chitose/Shiraishi. Author’s Note: It’s quite funny but the first Watanabe/Shiraishi fan fiction that I wrote is totally one-sided, while the next one is less one-sided, but it is still sort of one sided. So maybe this is why I wrote this one- I probably secretly want to write a proper one. (ie. Where the feeling become mutal.) I guess this is my apology fan fic to Watanabe (laugh). For the longest time I didn’t like him as I blame him for not having stopped Shiraishi from playing his perfect tennis, but then I realized something: do we actually have prove that Watanabe didn’t help Shiraishi at all? Cause maybe he actually told Shiraishi it is more important to have fun but Shiraishi still decided to play perfect tennis. And then at the other day, when I was writing a Shiraishi/OC fan fiction, I suddenly realized this: Shiraishi has a tendency of (in my opinion) bottling things up, as his team mates doesn’t really know that he doesn’t like his perfect tennis, so it is possible that Watanabe didn’t know at all.

I was in a really low mood this weekend so I didn’t do my weekend entry, so I will do it now, I mentioned about this really beautiful doujinshi that I read at September 24th and it sorted of inspired me to write another same sex pairing story. (And I was looking at tons of fan art too during that period) I know, I’m crazy. I have to admit, before prince of tennis I hardly read same sex pairing fan fictions, the only exceptions are Yoru and Ran from Sukisyo, Seishiro and Subaru from Tokyo Babylon and X. And they were just different somehow... Summary: Watanabe remembers how he confessed to Shiraishi many years ago and mourns for the fact that he would never know the answer Shiraishi would have given him. Warning: character death and a little spoiler about the Shitenhouji arc. Watanabe/Shiraishi pairing. Author’s Note: This one is a bit different from my previous one shot with this pairing: “conflicting wishes” this one is less one sided but for some reason I decided to be mean to Watanabe again… Disclaimer: I own nothing. Written: September 23-24, 2007

Once more, be prepared for a very long author’s note. Title: The basis of the decision Completed in: January 14-16, 2008 Summary: A chance encounter caused Sakuno to join Shitenhouji for a picnic, where she ends up learning more about Shiraishi as well as what type of a buchou he is. Yukimura thinks of why he behaved in a rather contradicting way in the finals by accepting Kintarou’s challenge (Genius 370) when Shiriashi asked him that, because he would have ensured Rikkai’s victory had he refused. Theme: The difficulty a buchou faces in choosing whether he should act as the buchou, or act as himself.

I suddenly had inspiration for Chapters again and since I published these two oneshots on fan fiction net this weekend I thought I’ll put them on my blog too. Title: Multiple definitions Completed in: January 9, 2008 Summary: A chance encounter caused Sakuno to join Shitenhouji for a picnic, where she ends up learning more about Shiraishi as well as what type of a buchou he is. Theme: The idea that the image and definition of an authoritative buchou is not always the same.

University is driving me crazy right now, I don’t know how I am going to survive. I just hope that I can some how survive, although I am not sure myself… I am really angry at my lecturer, I have an assignment due next Tuesday and so far he hasn’t even uploaded the question it self! Well, although we can’t exactly do it because he probably won’t teach the bit that we need to do the assignment before the end of this week, hopefully, or one should really scream and demand to have an extension. But the annoying thing is that he rushes through the real hard stuff and spend a lot of the lesson talking about stuff that are not that really irrelevant. Such as how his accounting teacher used to whack them on the hand whenever they made a mistake. Yes, that is all very well, but what about using this time to explain the hard stuff even more. Gosh… I am seriously wondering about the possibility of whether I can pass…I got a test on next next Thursday and I got a really bad feeling that he would probably only teach us the last stuff we need on the Tuesday lecture. (Wednesday is Waitangi day, so no class…) Another thing is this: we should really be having one more lecture, but he just scratched that by saying that he can still manage to get all the teaching done and it is better for us to have some rest in between as that is what one need. Okay…even if he can manage, which I sort of doubt right now, I think it is much better to let us have more time before exam starts by finishing early. 歷史

I feel that my blog has been getting quite empty…so I decided to resume what I use to do- posting fan fictions at the weekend, so hopefully I can continue doing this… I actually wrote this fan fiction sometime ago, really some time ago, when I was in my first year at university, so about one and half a year from now I believe. By the way, for those who are curious about Sukisyo please click the tag ‘anime/manga’ and keep on pressing previous 20 until you see the bit that says Sukisyo review. This story is the first BL story that I have written although I always consider Yoru/Ran as being just Yoru and Ran. By the way, the rest of the story and my notes at the end presumes that you know the story so I won’t be doing any explanation in regard to the plot of Sukisyo. Guilt Ran, the night weeps for the crime committed by the day, because he lacks the power to stop these actions. Though his hand is not the one that struck, he feels as guilty as the day, as they are the same being.

Today was not exactly a good day for me due to various stuff, oh the usual stress about assignments and all that stuff. And then a lousy day at work. I realise something…I definitely prefer cold days to hot days. Today was so hot that you just don’t even want to move, and going to work was really difficult as it felt so stuffy there. I don’t know how to explain it but it is that sense of stuffiness that just make even moving unbearable. And the really weird thing is that because it was not a busy day, things were harder. Well, ohime-sama was giving me quite some problems today. (apologise to Satsuki-sis for not answering her letter) Well, I was examining some of my stuff and I was looking at my ‘what if’ fan fictions and I realise that I actually only have two more left. As most people would know by now, my what if fan fictions are a series of random scene that is meant to be funny, and I write in script from. I don’t know why but lately I’ve been having what if scenes in which my OC comes out. But anyway…this is the last two, so I probably wouldn’t be writing them for a while, because I don’t seem to have much ideas lately. This one was written in response to what my friend Calliope Medina Erato said about my other what if fan fiction- the letter one. Which I ‘published’ on my blog the last day of last year. I said something along the lines of ‘Ashtia meeting Sengoku would be bad for Shiraishi, since Sengoku will probably be flirting with her. I can then see this scene when Minami asking Sengoku why Shiraishi is acting as if Yamabuki did something offensive to him. She then wrote the following: “Minami would be puzzled on why Shiraishi is hostile to them or maybe he would not be surprised if Sengoku is the cause of it. I can see Minami asking Sengoku: "Shitenhouji's buchou wants us dead all of sudden. What did you do this time?” And from that bit I had the idea for this what if scene… So this relate to my previous letter- with a scenario that all these schools have gathered together for some sort of training, so they would be playing against each other. Although you can really substitute Shiraishi’s role for any other buchou… Sengoku finally ends up in trouble…

I admit, I have been bad in not updating my blog as I am not managing my time very well. I am surviving and I think that I should be able to manage... Anyway, yesterday was actually the Japanese coming of age day, which I didn’t really know about before. I have heard of it being mentioned in manga/anime/janapese drama before, but I didn’t really know about it until I wrote The Cracked mask- one of my prince of tennis fan fiction. Basically (according to my research at Wikipedia), the ‘seijin shiki’ is the Japanse coming of age ceremony and it is on the first second Monday of January and you go to it the year you turn twenty. The reason why I ended up finding this out is because I was looking up for information on kimono (because Aizuki-main OC in that fiction had this kimonon and is meant to be wearing it in a certain chapters, so I was wondering what occasion would let her wear it.) and the page that talk about the furisode (the type of kimono that have very long sleeves) mentioned that a furisode is often wore at this coming of age ceremony. So I naturally clicked on the link. As most people who visit my blog would know, I live in New Zealand. And we just had the Heineken opening- it is a tennis tournament that is one of the many organised by the association of tennis professionals. (Once again, hail to the great wikipediea). Basically there are prices and winning games in it does alter one’s ranking, although not that much. And the stadium is very close to Auckland university, in fact- you can see it if you go to the newest building- the fish and pypall building. Although I doubt that you can just watch the tennis game from there. But anyway, me and albatross-sis ended up watching the finals on our, at the very least my, precious Saturday afternoon. (I have school now so…) And it literally took all afternoon as the match just got dragged out. Maybe it is because of Prince of tennis but I found it really enjoyable- even though it is really ordinary tennis. (but Shiraishi plays normal tennis, saved for his entako shot. Now that I think about it, Yukimura seem to play perfect tennis too, saved for his really weird shot that he showed against Kintarou. I suppose these two can still be categorised as normal in the prince of tennis world, since they only (very rarely) plays their prince of tennis world style. I refer to the manga, because Shiraishi didn’t use his entako shot at all in the OVA) But anyway, I suddenly realise the importance of getting all the basic stuff right- like Shiraishi. Because when I was watching the final on Saturday- which consisted two players who are ranked twenty and thirty something out of all the tennis players in the world, not to mention one had been top one during one stage, I actually saw double faults (if you screwed up your serve twice then your opponent automatically get the point) more often then I thought would be possible. And for all we know, that might have made a difference. At the semi-final there was even this case- one guy was at his match point, and it was at an advantage serve- basically he scores he win, but he screwed up his serve due to double fault and the point went back to deuce again. He still won but imagine how angry one would be if you might have won if only you didn’t screw up your serve.
