                <description><![CDATA[ I'm actually wondering if I should make a new dA account. There's a lot of junk on this one that ought to be deleted, but I just can't seem to find the willpower to throw them all away. Hmmm... Hoarding is a bad thing, but meh. >_><br /><br />MF's RP section's under renovation; I'm wondering if it'll ever match up to aE's former standards - aE had some really good writers, at the very least. There are those who refer to aE's former roleplay section as a joke. But, if that's the case, what's there to say about the MF one? A spam collection? -sigh-<br /><br />Hmmm. Less than a month to go before I vanish from the face of Asia. I might really miss the food.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I'm into roleplaying D.Gray-man and Soul Eater now. It's pretty fun, though my muses are running dry; perhaps because of... the fact that I feel as ill as ever and my net just sucks in general.<br /><br />Hm. I got my US visa; pretty easily too - and the fella at the counter was very, very cute. xD;<br /><br />I now have about four Neil Gaiman books left to finish before I take my leave:<br />- The Graveyard Book<br />- Anansi Boys<br />- American Gods<br />- Stardust<br /><br />I've finished Neverwhere and Stardust is closing soon. Hm. I need Sandman goodness now. Hrm, hrm.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I have four writing projects now. All for fun/sport/interest, mind you. They are as follows:<br /><br />1. Kayla & Nathan. The vampire-themed mini piece I started, for a vampire-loving friend. Not -necessarily- a romance.<br /><br />2. Cherise & Avery. Some of you may have seen snippets of this already~ Slice of life stuff.<br /><br />3. J & A. The collaboration-novella-esque piece of writing I'll be doing with <a href="http://ldotl.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconldotl:" title="ldotl"/></a>. Pertaining to memories, libraries, and things that supersede humanity and incorporate it at the very same time.<br /><br />4. My recent epiphany. Remember the time I tried to do the 100 Themes Challenge and failed? Well, I'm thinking of doing short pieces and stuffing them together to form a collection of random fictional snippets.   <br /><br />Wish me luck?<br /><br />-- <br /><br />Update:<br /><br />Alright. So I've decided to do the 100 Themes Challenge with a few friends and awesome writers. We'll be writing ten prompts for ten themes each, and posting them in groups of ten, and then we'll link them up to each other.<br /><br />I'm doing themes 1 to 10:<br /><br />1. Introduction <br />2. Love<br />3. Light<br />4. Dark <br />5. Seeking Solace <br />6. Break Away<br />7. Heaven <br />8. Innocence<br />9. Drive<br />10. Breathe Again<br /><br /><a href="http://tiyang.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/i/tiyang.gif?3" alt=":icontiyang:" title="tiyang"/></a> will be doing themes 11 to 20:<br /><br />11. Memory <br />12. Insanity <br />13. Misfortune<br />14. Smile <br />15. Silence<br />16. Questioning <br />17. Blood <br />18. Rainbow <br />19. Gray <br />20. Fortitude<br /><br /><a href="http://ldotl.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconldotl:" title="ldotl"/></a> will be doing themes 21 to 30:<br /><br />21. Vacation <br />22. Mother Nature<br />23. Cat <br />24. No Time<br />25. Trouble Lurking<br />26. Tears<br />27. Foreign <br />28. Sorrow <br />29. Happiness <br />30. Under the Rain <br /><br />Joe/Sho will be doing themes 31 to 40:<br /><br />31. Flowers <br />32. Night<br />33. Expectations<br />34. Stars<br />35. Hold My Hand <br />36. Precious Treasure<br />37. Eyes <br />38. Abandoned<br />39. Dreams<br />40. Rated<br /> <br /><a href="http://xxmindwipe.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/x/x/xxmindwipe.png?3" alt=":iconxxmindwipe:" title="xxmindwipe"/></a> will be doing themes 41 to 50:<br /><br />41. Teamwork<br />42. Standing Still<br />43. Dying<br />44. Two Roads<br />45. Illusion<br />46. Family <br />47. Creation<br />48. Childhood<br />49. Stripes <br />50. Breaking the Rules<br /><br />Wish us luck?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Some university acceptances, some university failures. I'll keep them private to a select few though, so don't ask them of me here.<br /><br />I saw "Fragile Things" by Neil Gaiman in MPH Bookstore (One Utama, New Building), but I was short on cash (since I found a -single- copy of Absolute Garbage, and -had- to buy it) and I had already found "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman (and decided that, earlier, I wanted that too). <br /><br />If you haven't read "The Graveyard Book", do so now. The illustrations that accompany it are hauntingly beautiful, and they elicit fears from my imagination, even if they aren't... graphic, or anything like that. Faint shades of gray and black touch the pages every now and then, giving essence to the already gorgeous words written by Gaiman. <br /><br />You'll love ghosts now and fear the living, if you didn't before.<br /><br />Have a great weekend/month, guys. Hope you guys, at the very least, get what you want.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ University offers will be coming (or not) this April, and I'm worried to death. Wish me luck? I'll honestly need it.<br /><br />I'm quite tired lately, though I've picked up some good books such as "Sputnik Sweetheart" and "Dance Dance Dance" by Haruki Murakami, as well as Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories and poetry, entitled "Fragile Things". Good stuff. They take you places, and not necessarily places you want to go~ Though that's a plus factor, mind you.<br /><br />Easter's coming soon. I anticipate the week of holiday (and -dread- holiday homework). <br /><br />Much love, as always. Until next time~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Terrible last few months, really. Forum drama, no matter how hard I try to keep myself out of the light, unfolds. Even in regards to forums I've long left to sleep. The problems have been sorted out, but I'm tiring. Facebook over forums any day, baby.<br /><br />My mock exams are on now, and I'm doing a terrible job at them. I'm simply lazy, honestly, and I never do well on these things. <br /><br />Oh, and I caught a violent sore throat/cough/cold during my mock exams. I believe I infected quite a few people in the hall too. Hmmm~ >.><br /><br />My short subscription's over and I terribly regret not abusing it to its fullest, but oh well. Rabid, you still owe a year's worth. -hinthint-<br /><br />My writing's been terrible lately. I can't cough out much, or adhere to my usual style anymore. Perhaps my vocabulary's cutting itself short every day. Practice makes perfect and I haven't truly been practicing. My fault, my fault~<br /><br />As for the title of this journal; some ghosts decided to awaken again, you could say. It makes me wonder if others will follow. Could I handle it? Probably not. Maybe ghosts will be my muse. As a result, they'll always be welcome here.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay~! I have a short 4 week subscription!<br /><br />If you're wondering how I got it, it's most likely from the Christmas Card dA event I took part in. The one where we send in cards to hospital patients (whom we've never met and don't know) for Christmas cheer.<br /><br />If you're wondering what type of card I sent, it's the one I sent out this year. The dirty, messy, pretty one of the girl with Christmas hair~ <3<br /><br />I still can't familiarize myself with this new dA layout, though. It's so technologically modern-ish.<br /><br />University applications are over, and I'm waiting until April - that's when I'll receive my US acceptances/rejections. The UK ones have already arrived; I've chosen my Firm and Insurance offers already. Mock Exams are coming soon as well; it'll be a tough year. But it'll be over... someday.<br /><br />Anyway, if you've been wondering what I've been up to~ MouseHunt. Nothing but MouseHunt. Here it is: <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/">[link]</a> It's so addictive, it's unfair.<br /><br />I've also tried LJ-ing lately; but I'm a slow/lazy updater. Here's mine: <a href="http://passingavery.livejournal.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />Anyway~ Good luck to all of you out there who are applying to university. I know your pain.<br /><br />Much love. <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, Momo/Charlotte and I came to a general conclusion that Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas this year.<br /><br />On my end, it's probably largely due to the amount of stress on my shoulders right now, as well as the flu that doesn't want to let go of its hold on me. <br /><br />I have one university application left, and I'm hoping to finish it by tonight after much procrastination. All five universities in UK have offered (though conditional), so the UK side's doing alright. I'm still aiming for the US, though. <br /><br />And yeah, I'm tired.<br /><br />And I want my Christmas presents. I've received some snail mail cards from some online friends, so that's nice. <3 -treasures them forever-<br /><br />I have one and a half weeks left until Term Two of Year 13 starts again. Oh, the joy.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, y'all. <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

My five to UK have long been sent, and so far I've got an offer that's useless to me~ US applications, on the other hand, are hard work. And I'm only applying to seven of them. Still, that's about twelve essays to do - minimum. I'm suppose I'm largely worried because these are reach schools; I don't think I really have safety nets, or rather - my safety nets could, in a way, qualify as reach schools. Hm.<br /><br />My school uni counselor hasn't hindered me from applying to any of my choices so far (which probably means that he thinks I have a chance), and the good news is that he suspects that I won't need to apply to Australia at all (my last resort/choice). <br /><br />Fingers crossed, I hope I can finish my seven US applications in time, and get an offer or two, at the least.<br /><br />>_______________<;;<br /><br />Wish me luck? <br /> <br /><b><u>Art Trade</u></b><br />TEH-Wedgie<br /><br /><b><u>Kiriban</u></b><br />None<br /><br /><b><u>Requests</u></b><br />Closed<br /><br /><b><u>Thank You</u></b><br />Thanks, TheRabidHunter, for the wonderful dA subscription donation!

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="textboxbg"><div class="title"><b><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" /><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" />  Recent News <img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" alt="ball1.gif" /> <img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" alt="ball1.gif" /></b></div><div class="textbox"><b><u>Ugly Fascination / Beautiful Contempt / Wanting Doesn't Mean I'll Get<br />Love / Trust</u></b><br /><br />I've seen the word 'love' tossed around a lot, recently. Whether I was watching a murder of words or the striking down of blissful human emotion, or a declaration of desperation and the fumbling of unseen lips saying things like, "I love him, I miss him..." and all that lovesick jazz; it's all there... 'love'. But what does it mean? Sure, Wikipedia gives us the rational, anonymous definition of it, but what does that person, the one whose IP address is logged down as the writer of that definition, know about 'love'? It's all different, to you, to me, to that individual two continents away whose name you'll never know and whose face you'll never see.<br /><br />Some might say I use the word 'love' loosely. Yeah, I love you~ but do I mean it? If I say so, I probably do. If I jokingly say it in a post on a forum for the whole world to see, with that little tilde at the end, followed by a nice '<3'... perhaps not so much, but enough to care about you and actually type it out, anyway. Think of it this way - if I talk to you and give you most of my attention (at least once a day or every two days), I probably do.<br /><br />I don't know how many times I've said it. I say it more often than before, and to many more people - but the ones I say, I usually mean, even if I deny it later on (i.e. we're just friends or talking buddies) just so you won't draw away from me, shrinking away in some form of shyness or distance-embracing characteristic that you possess. <br /><br />Perhaps it's polyamory. I doubt it. I still tend to selfishly cling to monogamy if I really am crazed over someone, or if that someone loves me too. Perhaps it's... cynicism, in a sense. I don't really expect reciprocated love or happy endings anymore. It's more of a "Sure, you say you love me, I wonder when that'll end, and how. I hope it'll be gawddamned beautiful when it does." kind of feeling. <br /><br />Oh, gawd. I sound so depressed. I believe it's due to me being oh-so-daring lately, talking to so many new people who interest me. I've pissed off one, I've made improvement with another, and some have timezones that make me want to cry. I tend to focus on the ones who get along with me better, though my thoughts lie with those I don't get along with. I'm still deciding if I should contact them and sort it out (since I enjoy finality and the beautiful ugliness of it) or leave them be and snicker away at how I prodded them to the point of heightened emotions (i.e. anger and distrust). I'll go flip a coin later and make my decision... when I'm bothered.<br /><br />Oh, yes. One thing that was brought to my attention lately. The word 'trust', which people seem to focus on a lot. To me, that word's not really a priority. After all, when tragedy ensures, the chances of me missing a person are proportional to whether or not I cared/loved them, rather than on how much I trusted them. Three people brought the word into focus lately. One emphasized on how few people there were in his/her life whom he/she could trust (me obviously not being one of those special people), the second simply told me that he/she doesn't/won't ever trust me (simply due to their nature), and the third elaborated on how few people he/she trusted. And all this while, I'm realizing... that I never really thought about it. Then I snort and laugh and say to myself, "Creating a bond with someone doesn't mean that you have to trust them. Talking to someone frequently about yourself doesn't mean that you need to trust them completely. It's talking, communicating, and seeing what type of bond it bends into. Hell, some people don't even trust their own mother and yet dare to tell a stranger online about their problems, heartbreak, and depression, spilling their life story like a glass of milk knocked off the table. So what the hell does trust have to do with anything? People talk with others based on gut feeling anyway - will that person hurt me or not? Even if they wouldn't, you'd never know, anyway. Call it trust, call it distrust. Whatever, you're still communicating and creating a bond with someone anyway."    <br /><br />Geez. People are either too detached, or too clingy. It's the same with me, really. <br /> <br /><b><u>Art Trade</u></b><br />TEH-Wedgie<br /><br /><b><u>Kiriban</u></b><br />Page Views: 5000<br /><br /><b><u>Request Form</u></b><br /><b>GFX Piece:</b> Avatar/Sig/Sig Set (Wallpapers Not Available Yet) ^________^<br /><b>Size:</b> Siz... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="textboxbg"><div class="title"><b><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" /><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" />  Recent News <img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" alt="ball1.gif" /> <img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/sakuraiamaya/ball3.jpg" alt="ball1.gif" /></b></div><div class="textbox"><b><u>Online Relationships: Real Or Not?</u></b><br />
<br />
I've argued on the few forums I'm in, and I'll post my argument again. xD Here goes:<br />
<br />
I've seen people make friends online. I've seen people rip each other's throats out online too. There is no sound, no staring into the eyes of the other person, and only words. If human feelings like that can be channeled easily across the internet, fuelled by thought, pride, shame, anger, happiness, and hurt; what makes online relationships so hard to believe, in terms of existence?<br />
<br />
Debaters argue about whether or not life-forms can exist on distant planets or stars, and when it comes down to relativism, it's always a 50/50 chance - either life-forms can exist on them, or not. It's either one or the other, until proven. Unlike that, there are so many cases of online relationships that work out and transform into marriage, while others fizzle out pitifully. What other proof is necessary? I believe that it's all down to a matter of opinion on the subject, rather than whether it works or not. You either believe in online relationships, or you don't. But they'll always exist, regardless of your opinion.<br />
<br />
Sure, people like proof. It's always down to statistics, images, cold hard facts; but yet cynics deny 'words', deeming them as 'just words that people splatter across a screen, and it could be true or false, nobody knows if you're lying' - but is that so? People believe in webcams, photographs, and anything that could mark as a proof of existence, gender, looks, or sincerity. It comes down to 'trust' and 'belief' in the end; and if you can believe in statistics and carefully worded publications, why can't the words that people type out on the internet be trusted, even just a little? There's the running risk that you could be talking to a liar, but hey, look on the optimistic side of life - the liar's wasting his or her time (that could be used for other useful things, such as grocery shopping or homework) trying to catch your attention. Anyway, webcams and images could contain lies just as well as words can be manipulated, but they all can contain some element of truth to them as well.<br />
<br />
Yes, yes. Sex offenders. Serial killers. Predators. Vore RPers. Cyber-crazed maniacs. Liars. Cheaters. Wife beaters. Pedophiles. Children. Sirens. Manipulators. Two-timers. You name it. Everything and everyone could be lurking online, waiting to hunt down anyone and everyone. You might never meet one, and there's no way to prove a person is one until you meet and get attacked/cheated on/lied to/rejected/raped/molested/donestuffto, but there's also the chance that you might never meet one. Of course, be careful who you talk to, and watch out who you meet, but it's all down to trust and belief still, isn't it? Some teenagers (and even adults) go online to find people to talk to, perhaps for love, friendship, or even escapism from real life. It's not the fault of the internet for meeting the wrong people, nor is it the fault of a person's rusty webcam with crappy resolution - it just happens. Yet, despite all the bad that can happen online, there are still those who find happiness, everlasting or momentary. And all of this is real. It's happening. There are people behind the screen. Good, bad, evil, twisted, wonderful, loving, and angst-ridden - we're not robots. Hell, if you took time to read this post or even post in this thread to defend your beliefs or thoughts on this subject, it means that you're real. It means that even the cynics behind the screen are real. So what makes online relationships and friendships not real?<br />
<br />
Finally, let's bring this down to personal encounters and experiences. Sure, not everybody can relate to the wonderful experiences some have when it comes to online relationships, but I've seen it happen - A and B fell in love online for a long period of time, met once, and he decided that he would propose to her the second time she visited. Recently, they met up less than a month ago (their second time ever). She went home with an engagement ring. Such a lack of physicality in that relationship, but yet so much love. I guess that's what made me know that online relationships could exist, and extend into something more, if both parties desire to. Not to mention my own, personal experiences. And so the cynics say that it's all a lie, and that falling in love online is stupid, and possibly for those who have no luck in real life. Falling in love online doesn't make you any less human,... ]]></description>

<br />
I've also decided to become a Beta Tester for deviantART. It just seems like fun, seeing that I visit this place so often. ^o^/ The folder thing in my gallery is fun, though I kinda messed up my order of signatures... but nevermind. >.>;;<br />
<br />
I took part in so many Secret Santas this year. u.u Five, to be exact. @.@ I have to remember to introduce this to animeEDEN next year. I'm also trying to get my free Premium from Glitchypie. =3 That'd be the nice end to a year! ^_____^<br />

You guys know this works. x3 If you are the person who hits my 5000th page view, take a screenshot of it, send it to me, and I'll make you a full avatar and signature set. We'll discuss it through notes. n______n<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm going to cosplay her in December. Her outfit is made from 5 pieces:<br />
-Hat<br />
-Goggles<br />
-Fingerless gloves<br />
-Outfit<br />
-Boots<br />
<br />
I'm gotten 3/5 of them already: hat, goggles, and gloves.<br />
<br />
Now the hard ones are left, especially the outfit...<br />
<br />
It's like a sailor fuku type outfit. Quite cute. If I sew it nicely, I can wear it whenever I want to.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Swallowtail Simca - Air Gear - Anime Convention - Should I?<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clueless.gif" alt="Clueless" title="Clueless" /> Indecisive<br /><strong>Listening to</strong>: Yuu by NoR [Legend of Condor Heroes - Anime]<br /><strong>Reading</strong>: Death Note + Air Gear<br /><strong>Watching</strong>: Spirited Away - Studio Ghibli<br /><br />I don't know what to do. The anime convention will be appearing in December and I don't know who to go as. I have long black hair which just touches my hips. That long. I have no fringe - just pure, long black hair. I wear glasses too - but that can be easily fixed with soft contact lenses. <br />
<br />
Anime/Manga Characters With Whom I Share The Same Hair Colour And Length:<br />
--Lust (FMA)<br />
--Envy (FMA)<br />
--That priestess woman from Inuyasha (I don't watch Inuyasha, so I can't do her)<br />
--Kirara (Samurai 7)<br />
--Kaoru (Rurouni Kenshin)<br />
--Unohana Retsu (Bleach)<br />
<br />
...That's it?<br />
<br />
How annoying. I hate all of their clothes. Reveals too much for some of them, anyway.<br />
<br />
So I thought - hey, let's try Air Gear. Pity the anime came out, otherwise I could've stuck to my black hair - manga's only in black and white, right? <br />
<br />
So I thought...Ringo or Simca?<br />
<br />
Simca seems easier. The only problem - her hair colour is pink. And her hat and goggles might be hard to find. And those boots? I'm not gonna buy the outfit - I'll make it myself. Not that I'll need a lot of material for her anyway. Ringo was a nice thought, but...she doesn't wear a 'specific' outfit. Her clothes change 24/7. <br />
<br />
This is annoying. I don't know what to do.<br />
<br />
If I can't decide, I won't go. But I wanna go... But as who?   <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Not too long ago, I published a Naruto fanfic entitled 'A Pyrrhic Victory'. Just today, I received a review of my story, telling me that someone under the pen-name "xRoseElric" had the same story and title as me, word-for-word. As my story was published first, this person who warned me about "xRoseElric" felt that I had to know this. I have published this story on multiple sites apart from this one, including <a href="http://www.quizilla.com">[link]</a> and <a href="http://www.deviantart.com">[link]</a>, so I feel very angry that my original work has been plagiarised without my prior permission. My story was published before that plagiarised copy was created, isn't this enough proof that this story is mine?<br />
<br />
Furthurmore, when I checked out the other stories this xRoseElric person published, I learned for sure that this person ripped stories off from Quizilla. I know this for sure. This person "xRoseElric" is a person who rips stories off <a href="http://www.quizilla.com">[link]</a> and publishes them on <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net">[link]</a>, as her own stories. She has by far copied two stories by me, and a third story by another talented writer at <a href="http://www.quizilla.com">[link]</a>. I know for a fact that this person who goes under the pen-name "xRoseElric" is plagiarising stories from <a href="http://www.quizilla.com">[link]</a> due to the fact that these stories were published long before on Quizilla before she plagiarised and published them here. I am very upset, as two of those plagiarised stories were originally written by me. These two stories are entitled "Broken Hearts" and "A Pyrrhic Victory". The third story that this "xRoseElric" plagiarised is entitled "Goodbye. Forever. The End. {Fullmetal Alchemist}" by ZirconCries from Quizilla, published a long time before this "xRoseElric" person plagiarised it. <br />
<br />
Here is the URL of the original Fullmetal Alchemist story by ZirconCries (to prove that xRoseElric copied it): <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.quizilla.com/users/ZirconCries/quizzes/Epilogue%20(Goodbye.%20%20Forever.%20%20The%20End.">[link]</a>)%20%7BFullmetal%20Alchemist%7D/    <br />
<br />
and here's the URL of my story, "Broken Hearts", published long before "xRoseElric" copied it too: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.quizilla.com/users/diamondsforever/quizzes/Naruto%20--%26gt%3B%20The%20Tale%20of%20Three%20Sisters%20--%26gt%3B%20Finale%20(Broken%20Hearts">[link]</a>)/<br />
<br />
and here's the URL of my other story, "A Pyrrhic Victory", that "xRoseElric" copied as well: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.quizilla.com/users/diamondsforever/quizzes/A%20Pyrrhic%20Victory%20%5BA%20Sasuke%20Short%20Story%5D/">[link]</a> <br />
<br />
*You will notice that all these stories were published long before this xRoseElric person copied them, proving that they belong to either me or ZirconCries.*<br />
<br />
Here is the URL of xRoseElric who copied all three stories: <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/~xRoseElric">[link]</a><br />
<br />
This plagiarism cannot be tolerated. I will not let my some immature plagiariser take credit for my work. I take this matter VERY seriously. Hopefully all of you out there will watch out for any plagiarisers! <br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />
<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Finally, my Broadband Wireless Connection is up and running! However, the maximum speed is 52 Mbps, and that's if I'm lucky. <br />
<br />
I'm trying to watch the Rurouni Kenshin episodes I missed a long time ago on YouTube.com, however, it isn't working. I have a speeder, a broadband connection, a flash player, and it doesn't load all the way!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I recently purchased my wireless modem to connect my 'about to be activated' streamyx broadband connection to my laptop. However, the DSL connection light isn't blinking or turning on, so any chances of activating my broadband internet has now faded away. Hoepfully I will get this DSL light to blink by Monday night, when my mum's 'kind of' tech-savvy friend comes over to help us fix in our wireless modem for us. *Sighs* To be this close to streamyx, yet still so far...<br />

How life hurts. ]]></description>
