Hey, ShikamaruRocks, here. How ya doin'?

I have another world. One called "Shika's Busy-ish Nook" that contains less random stuff than you'll find here. For the most part. I'll leave all the official stuff that's on here though, but all new official stuff will be there.

I AM A GIRL. So many people think I'm a dude, but I'm not. I promise.

Soooo, let's get on with it, shall we?

Most of these are in no particular order...

Favorite Manga: Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, RurouniKenshin, DNAngel, Prince of Tennis, Trigun, One Piece, KareKano, Lovely Complex, Whistle!, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, HanaKimi, Ouran High School Host Club, etc.

Favorite Anime: Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Peacemaker Kurogane, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, TekkonKinkreet, Saiyuki, Mushi-shi, BECK, Avatar (it counts!!! grrrr....), Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, RurouniKenshin, etc.

Music Peeps: YellowCard, Death Cab for Cutie, Snowpatrol, A Fire Inside, The Used, Three Days Grace, Seether, Orange Range, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Muse, The Pillows, Plain White T's, Angels and Airwaves, Flaming Lips, Bump of Chicken, and!!! The Jonas Brothers (my guilty pleasure).

I love cooking, drawing, reading (mostly manga but novels are wicked awesome too. I just don't have the time nor stamina for novels as much anymore...though I have been working my way back in. lol), knitting, watching my brother play Zelda/Metroid games (lol), and skateboarding, though I fail epicly at it.

Toodles!!

Close Encounter of the Pretty Kind

If you read my sister's posts, then perhaps you know why I have not been updating lately. However, just incase you don't, I'll enlighten you.

Last Wednesday my mother royally messed up the muscles and nerves in her back leaving her in agony and with very little to no use of her right (and dominate) arm. Then, the following day an adorable Japanese girl named Azu came to stay with us through the first of April. So, I've been busy taking care of my mum and entertaining Azu.

Now, on to some entirely irrelevant information about my day at school.

There's this guy at school (I think he's a sophomore) with semi-wavy, long brown hair that is always in a ponytail who is about my height and in perfect shape like a tennis player. Every time I see him I simply can not help but squeal, "Pretty!!" to my friend, Sierra. So, today, just before leaving school at 2:00 (there was a dodge-ball tournament and I was leaving early) I saw him and said, "Pretty!!!" to Sierra, at which point Sierra dashed toward the boy and I freaked out, running down the hall and toward my locker at full speed.

As I was kneeling in front of my locker putting my books in my backpack, I saw two pairs of legs standing beside me. I looked up and said, "Oh my God..." as Sierra started giggling.

She pointed at "pretty-boy" who was standing next to her and said, "This is my friend. Stand up, he has something to give to you."

I stood up and he looked at me with this gaze that I do not think it is possible to describe with words and drawled, "Heeeey", at which point I started laughing. He then hugged me for about 15 seconds and nuzzled my cheek with his nose. I almost died from laughter and pushed him to arms length and said, "My name's Orihime(some names in this article have been changed. lol)," then looked at Sierra and said, "I am going to kill you."

My pretty-boy replied, "Hey, Orihime" (it seems he has a fairly limited vocabulary) and hugged me again.

Sierra then explained that she had met him at a party and that neither of them really remember what went on there but she does remember that she told him about me and that I always squeak about his pretty-ness. Then he hugged me quickly and said, "I've gotta go," and took off down the hall. I wanted to smack Sierra, but I really was happy too.

Getting a hug (and basically a promise for future hugs) from my pretty-boy was something I never expected. He didn't tell me his name though. Guess I'll have to ask next time I see him.

What does this have to do with any thing, you ask? Well, nothing, but it was fun to write about.
