Look! Another post! But nearly no FFXI this time.

Back to work tomorrow. Blech. Feels like I've been on vacation for months, but it's only been... 16 days? A 4 day weekend plus 10 days of vacation time. I could say I'm dreading going back, but in truth I'm working very hard not to think about it because otherwise I would be dreading it!

I'm so sad that I'm caught up on Bleach. Such a good series! I can't believe I have to wait a whole week for another ep. I love the characters so much, even the smaller ones. Chad isn't cute. He's not sexy. He's not funny or wise or, well, much of anything, but I love him so much. Why? Because he's nice. I never like nice characters! They're boring! But him and the parakeet boy (meeting the boy the second time, in Soul Society) made me want to cry. Chad was so kind! *sniffle* And then there was one line that just sealed my love for him: He was walking silently behind Ichigo, and Ichigo pointed that out. Chad responded with "I'll always be behind you." Eeee! Nice and loyal and and and... *snugs Chad lots!* I can't believe how much the show is working for me. I want to know more about ALL the characters! The room full of captains in ep 25? I want to know more about every one of them! Gah! Need More Bleach!

My stomach is really bothering me. I didn't eat today till 2, and though it was just pasta it didn't sit well at all. I've not eaten since then and I'm still not feeling well. And worse than that, I'm hungry! I can't eat, because I know that food will only give the tummy troubles more fuel. Blah.

I need to change my exercising. Walking isn't doing it anymore. I don't have the time in the morning to put into walking enough to burn enough calories to make a difference. I'd rather do a "harder" exercise and burn more. I need to see if my VCR still works or if I can get it hooked up or whatever it needs. I want to go back to doing tae bo (a punching/martial arts/aerobics mix). I used to do it lots and enjoyed it. Only problem is (aside from my VCR maybe not working) is that it will take more time and I'll have to do it after work. Which means cutting into FFXI time. Which means it will be hard to stick with. Blah.

So hungry. So hungry. But at least I lost a pound over my vacation! Who'd have expected that?

So many icons to choose from, and I'm only at 40/100. Blah.

"Blah" seems to be the word of the day. Blah!

You really nailed the reason Chad is so lovable there. I love pretty much all the characters, but Chad! And he has the character for tea in his name!

I just love him. And when he explained where he got the parakeet - that was simply priceless.

I'm at 44 icons myself.. Thinking of coming up with a few Bleach icons soon.. only have one, and one I didn't make myself at that.

Heh! I hadn't known about the Chad/tea thing! And nicely fitting icon! :)

Yeah, I'm thinking I need a Bleach icon or two, but I'd like to make it myself instead of finding it online. I need a FFXI icon, too...

I just went and looked at the kanji for his name..

茶渡 泰虎

He got the nickname "Chad" because his family name, Sado, easily gets misread as "Chado" (as 茶 (tea) is usually read as cha). His given name, Yasutora, can be interpreted as "peaceful tiger" - very fitting if you ask me. ^_^

I have six tea icons so far, but now that I have a permanent account, I feel guilty over having less than a dozen.. will probably make more soon. (Four of my current are made by others, though)

Heh, yes! Very fitting.

, but now that I have a permanent account, I feel guilty over having less than a dozen..

Exactly the feeling I have. I have room for 100 of them, so I should make good use of that!
