I know that canti can understand the sentiment I am about to express, if no one else can; as childish as this sounds, this journal no longer feels like mine, and if I don't feel comfortable enough to make use of it, then what's the point of holding on to it? A fresh start sounds nice and it's something I think I need. I first made this journal in 2004 during my Silmarillion fanfic writing period *cringe* and now it just feels old and worn. It has plenty of lovely memories attached (I know I will be saving certain private entries I've shared with those dearest to me), but I want a place that serves as more than just a nostalgic retreat.

Those few friends I know in RL will be added to my new journal in due time. Now that I am no longer engaged in any of the communities that I met everyone else in, I'd like to say that it was good while it lasted, and I wish you all the best. If you want to keep in touch then let me know and I'll pass on the details of my new journal, otherwise you no longer need to wonder who that vaguely familiar user on your f-list is. ;)


Bye!
</lj>

I have been sick like... THE WHOLE WEEK. >o

On the plus side, tonight the family and I went out for dinner at a nice Italian restaurant as a late birthday celebration.

And Emma chewed up my wireless mouse some. It's usable... just somewhat bumpy. Ah well. :3

So, for my birthday, I got:
New mobile phone
Wireless mouse
Cute shoes
A pair of earrings
A silver ring
Chocolate
£15 in vouchers
£20 in cash.

One day I will buy myself a new tablet. For now, I must go out and buy some paper to doodle on. :3
Thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday. <3

After being lead to this by shahni, I simply had to look for this anime. I don't want to spoil too much, so this is only a vague summary.

EPISODE 1

It quickly becomes apparent that the main character is Rikuson Hakugen [Lu Xun], and the premise is that there is this item of great power, the Sovereign's Seal, which gives an invicible power to its chosen wielder, the flame master. It is sought after by many warlords, who all seek its power so they can destroy their enemies and control all of the land.

We get an detailed introduction of Rikuson, especially concerning his initial master-apprentice relationship with Shoukatsuryo Koumei [Zhuge Liang] while the forces of Go and Gi engage in battle. At this time, Sonsaku Hakufu [Sun Ce] has the seal, and is using it to decimate Gi's forces. However, this power comes at a price.

Koumei tells Rikuson that they must now part, and he must serve Go, to determine whether the Sovreign's Seal has chosen Sonsaku as its master. Koumei says that whatever the answer may be, it will be the start of Rikuson's own path. But when Rikuson comes face-to-face with Sonsaku, something unexpected happens...

I have to say, I really like Koumei, and Sonken [Sun Quan] is far too cute for his own good (he grows quickly on you in later episodes with his sweeteness, I have to say). There was only a brief appearance by Sousou Moutoku [Cao Cao], but I really can't wait for more of him.

Now, onto the links, for everyone else to enjoy!

[1/3] [2/3] [3/3] Now, on I go to watch episode 2! :D
