indoglish
Because I use a lot of Indo on this mostly English site, here's some lingo for the uninitiated:
abang=big brother
ade/adek=younger sibling (gender neutral)
bete/bt=a negative emotion, usually irritation or a bad mood
cewe/ce=slang for girls
cowo/co=slang for boys
ja'im (jaga imej/image)=guarding your social image
kakak (pronounced kaka')=older sibling (gender neutral, or female, depending)
--kak (ka')=honorific for older siblings or 'sempai'
kuliah/kul=college
gwe (sometimes gw, gue)=slang for I or me
SD=elementary school
SK (sometimes es-ka; setia kawan): solidarity, loyalty (among friends)
skul=school
SMA=high school
SMP=middle school
TK=kindergarten
wa=slang for I, me (same as 'gwe')
what are all those 2s? this is shorthand for a 'kata ulang'
or repeated word. ngakak2 is read ngakak-ngakak= laughing very hard
any words that need to be added?

capeee~k (&character creation form)
Sooooooooo tired *whines*
Every time I intened to to bio, I end up staring blankly at shit and blogging pointless blog entries like this one. Sleep. Need sleep. good god, man, I can feel my eyes sinking into my head.
I want it to be the weekend. Sebel. Sebel. *huk*
Mashi nina-boboin gwe dunk. XP I almost have the character creation form done. I need a name, though. Oh hell, I admit it, the only things I have are hair color and length (dark brown, short, but not *real* short. The length you barely get away with in SMA before they haul you away and hack it off.) and eye color (gray. I wanted green, but changed my mind. Anyway, I think Mashi had green.)
Thats all I have. Someone help me. T.T C'mon, I need a peek at everyone else's forms. One peek? For, like, inspiration. XD
Oh, and for height and weight I had 'normal'. XP

CF blog crew
Links are up! yay! Charachter forms will be html-ed and put up. Mashi, this blog crew makes my hands itch to write & draw. XP Seru deee~
Let's chat again sometime, ya?
My form is finally done, so mashi can change the name in the story. *point at section below links*
*whew*
So tired. Need sleep. Made ugly stuff using the textiles class stuff. I'm not even in that class. XP I just work while they're in there. Wasting their fixer and sytheropol. Oit! Nicked fabric, too. My hands are dyed green, but it was fun. All the older ladies in that class giving me advice. "Use a syrenge and spray it like *this*" "Let it dry before you move it." "Chemical water will . . . ." "Want more turqoise?" " . . . fixer . . ." " . . . salt . . . " " . . . sponge brush . . ."
B: Whos making this thing, me or you guys?
Ksan: Hey, who ate the last piece of apel cake?
B: dumdumdumdumdum Pass the green, would you?
Lchan: Was it you?
B: sshh!!
Did I mention they always have snacks in that class? Last week they had cofee cake. Before that: muffinfs. I love mopping up in that class!! Huzzah!
So tired. When I read this tommorow, it'll probably make no sense. Whooo~

CF again!
Linked to my charachter traits form. it's under the 'by chara name' section under the CF blogcrew heading!
I wanted a really off-beat charachter. XP Might add more, k, mashi-kun? Story-line discussion where?
Thats all. Have to go to a friend's play now. Hope I can find the others there. Don't wanna sit alone T.T Heheheh~ Tapi diajak duduk bareng juga ngga. Hee~ Sok deket banget gwe. XP

pointless entry on uh, pointless entries
Am back. This weekend: net-nerd mode. Uh, w00t!
Have been meaning to write some manner of original fiction for oh, ages now. But whatever. Lazyness usually wins out with me, and once I start watching movies on TV, thats it for productivity.
Anyway.
There was something I was going to say. Damn.
Oh: note to self: update damn links section of thescattering.
Even though nina says people with blogs should rajin curhat, I always come here with a lot to say, then either get way off topic or forget what it was, or open with something that makes it impossible to get to whatever it was I meant to say.
So this is a blog entry about not having good entries. Yeah. Most of you people ignore me anyway. And those of you that don't probably should. XP

music~
Here's the problem with Indonesian music: Indonesians, Jakartans especially, are really quick to throw things away. Dissagree if you want, but you know it's true. XP (First one to say 'I'm glad I'm american' or somesuch, consider yourself kicked in the head. Don't even get me started. ^^;; )
Anyway, back to topic:
Music in Jakarta never lasts long before it's "kuno" or old-fanshioned. For example, when I was in SMP, Dewa's Kirana was big. Never played anywhere anymore, while US radios still play songs from those years, and later. Indonesian radio only plays the shiny sparkly new stuff. You'd never see a 'classic rock' show for Indo-rock.
Inc ase you wondered, this rant sparked by yet another foiled search for the song 'radja' by, I think, 'riff'. I know they spelled raja that way, even if I'm not sure how they spelled riff. Damn it, I remember that being a good song. Gar~ Never hear that on anything anymore, either.
Maybe it's the curse of the the developing country that everything has to be up-to-date-dammit! (first one to say "thank god my country's developed and has time to smell the roses", see above.) no time to linger on anything good, huh? Must move on to newer, shinier! Well, not everything with two years on it is "basi" (stale).
Some things are just good enough to like for longer than the week it happens to be cool and in and etc. (This also to you people mocking the die-hard Kenshin fans. XD ) If you want a basi anime, try Saint Seiya-->the source of many grade school daydreams (B: *daydreams* man, If I just had an armor, I'd whup you).
[sidenote]
Zodiac of the whatsis? Indo had Shun dubbed as a girl and was still truer to charachter. Surfer-dude Hyoga makes my skin crawl. So does cool-speaking Hiryuu. Damn you, cartoon network! Kill my childhood why don't you!?
[/sidenote]
Er, where was I? Oh yeah. Radja. Good song. Gone from face of earth. Song-searching Bart annoyed at butt-load of Indian songs that turn up. Hmm. kuch kuch what now?

greyships (&updates)
Listening to Annie Lennox's Into the West. *siiiigh*
[ . . .]
What can you see,
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
=====================================
This song just rips my damn heart out. It's now the (un)official theme song of the wanderlust.
Also the perfect song for that part of Cowboy Bebop where Faye finds where her house used to be, draws out the floor plan of it and her room, and lies down where her bed used to be.
That scene rips my heart out in much the same way. We were talking about it in class and I'd forgotten how fucking great that part was.
B: Geez. Just talking about it makes me want to cry. XD
Jkun: Not spike's death?
B: No
Ksan: God. Spike death. Don't go there. *sniffle*
(we're touchy feely anime fans)
But yeah. Geez. Annie Lennox, you just kill me, man. Lotr ending was just painful, much like Faye's house-finding. Goodbye-endings. Does it get any worse?
I am, by the way, the master of goodbye-endings. I just leave. No teary faretheewells for me. XP I don't tell even tell people I'm going anywhere, mostly. One day I just don't show up for class/basketball/hang-out-time and the next day I'm in the US, as far from home as I can get and still be on the planet.
Or australia, which is not quite so far, but may as well be. So you see why home-themed stuff kills me. And why I can't help but blast this damn lonely, wanderer's song into my ears as loud as my compie can get it.
Into the West, indeed.
One day I'll go home for good. One day I'll stop. One day I'll be able to say where I'll be this time next year with certainty and actually be there when the time comes around. And you know? As appealling as that sounds to me while I'm listening to heartache songs and feeling homesick, it also scares the living crap out of me, because at the moment I can't imagine being . . . static.
This is what happens to mongrel children who grow up between. We're travel junkies. XP
This blog is named so for a reason, you know. Even if I end up in antarctica or Utah I imagine I'll still be able to blog. ^^; Or maybe, one day, I just won't show up here, either. XP
Master of goodbye-endings, I admit I abandon friends with little thought. And then, late at night, I dig up photos and just fucking die of lonesomeness.
Enough curhat for you, Nin?
I better turn this music off before I choke on this little angst-fest. Or you know, get even more carried away. ^^;;;
Don't be surprised if I end up deleting or severely cropping this extremely fat-headed blog entry. I am extremely lucky to get to go more or less where the wind blows me, so to speak.
Just sometimes . . . I wish someone was along for the trip. Someone between.
Changing topic. Changing topic. Not changing music after all, though, because I'm indulging my angst (tm).
Yeah. Updates at the scattering: new banners that read 'scattered light', because I might change my site name to that, or change the banners. whatever.
New kiriban set for the 1500th hit. Lazy, remember? ^^v
Links to yayu shrine yahoo group, shejidan, and lissa explains it all html made simple.
New original fic, half-assedly titled 'fear of unknowns', which may seem like it has something to do with the content of this blog entry, but really doesn't. It's just background set-up for an original charachter in and original fic I'll probably never end up getting to.
Tell me what you think, okay?? It would be much appreciated. Especially regarding how the setting and charachters come off. Where and when does it seem like it is? My own mental image getting in the way.

one day . . .
. . . to spring break!! Huzzah!!
But . . . spring? Is that what they're calling it these days. Because I could swear it looks like winter out there. Damn NY. Thats the problem with living up here. Six months of snow. T.T
No one gone to read my original fic at the website? Well, thats ok. I'm thinking of scraping it anyway.
Nothing of note today except the sandwich I had for lunch. Now that was a good sandwich. *homerdrools* Man, I miss that sandwich. *slurp slurp* Cheesy, steaky goodness . . . .
Lapeeeeee~rrrrr

crazy searchers
To people whos searches my tracker tracked:
Stop searching for 'eerie queerie'. And if you are, don't come here. It's called 'ghost!' Thats ghost with the '!'. If you're the sort of idiot who never knows the real names of anything and thinks getting it at waldensbooks the day it's released in the US is getting it early-- *yanked offstage*
To the person who searched "fanfic ini dari" (this fanfic is from): What the hell are you looking for? -.- A fanfic from what? Argh!
Indonesian Yaoi Fans search guy: go to www.animeindo.com, enter the forum and head to the yayu shrine.
And a quiz result, for those in warnets, paying 10k for every minute of inet time. Bwahahahaha~ If this doesn't slow your loading time . . . XD *kicked by warnet-ers*
 You're Element is Flame. You have a strong, independant, fiery personality and you obviously don't ley other's puch you around. You like being in charge and don't care what other people think. In fact, you like to stand out and be yourself. You're probably shy when people first meet you but your a ball of energy that could explode at any given moment. You like to laugh and whether you admit it or not, you like to fight. You're peronality that is wild and untamable. You're beauty is physically fit and a little sexy and you have a very pretty face.

starlight
Theres a big 'coon huntin' moon up tonight. Maybe just waning a touch since yesterday and out here, in the boonies, you can stare up and up and up and up on a cold night like tonight because for some reason the cold makes everything brighter, sharper.
I envy Treasure Planet its sky-faring ships. I envy sailors their boats, and cowboys their Wide Open Spaces. I envy astronauts their ability to go further than anyone else, and see what very few others have seen for themselves.
Does earth have earthlight? Is it blue or silver like moonlight? Are there more stars up there than we could ever see from down here? Is looking down on earth from a satelite anything at all like looking up at the moon, fishing off the back of a boat just off shore enough to feel like theres nothing around you for ever and ever?

I wish I had bit-torrent or knew how to use it. Or even what that was. Because then I could, you know, dl Peacemaker Kurogane which looks awesone if the caps on aoki's blog and the pic in icchan's layout are anything to judge by. And yeah, mashi-san's squealing and *kyakya*-ing about it, too. It had better be good! *jealous*
Also, everyone has better layouts than me. That so, so sucks.

old time
My dad just turned seventy. Scary thought, considering his oldest kid is only 23. Most of his colleagues have grankids our age. Hell, some of them think we are his grankids, when we randomly run into them in random places throughout Jak. >.>
Mom says he's improving his lifestyle in regards to fatty foods and such. You know, in keeping with the big seven-oh. He creeps me out because he says things like, 'eat good, die happy, bwahahahah~'. And he doesn't mean good as in healthy either. Oh, and things like "I have kanker"
everyone: *shocked silence*
dad: "kantong kering bwahahahah~" (direct translation: dry pockets. ie: broke)
dad: what? its funny!
everyone: Geez.
I'm kind of mad at the folks for getting old. ^^;; At dad particularly for thinking old age is a trip, and a joke and not realising that maybe we'd like him around when we're forty. Or at least till me an him can get on and make up and stuff.
Which at this point seems like it'll require a few more years of growing up on both our parts. ^^;;
So, yeah. Happy Birthday, Ayah. XD

The sky is endless, because it’s a mirror of my heart, right?
As if it begins to reflect how I’m changing the colors everyday
When the smoke that breathed white becomes a cloud,
I’m hiding tears that are about to overflow,
And what I believe in is breaking,
I will close my eyes and wish
Even if I fall into a night where I’m all by myself and I can’t sleep
I’m closing my eyes inside the darkness and clearing my ears on the shine of the stars
When I stand still alone on a long journey,
I go around the days that float in my heart, and begin to walk
The strength to dirty this body and nod in approval, and
The weakness of wanting to always gaze forward
I proudly pledge them with a glance
Because I don’t want to lose
Because I can’t yield, I’ll keep on running even if I’m barefoot
Like the moon of the blue sky, I want to embrace transience and stretch my hands
I’m flying far away, far away, like a migratory bird
I want to deliver back to you the wind that blows tomorrow
Even if I fall into a night where I’m all by myself and I can’t sleep
I’m closing my eyes inside the darkness and clearing my ears on the shine of the stars |

happy easter!!!
This is the first easter I haven't colored eggs. I just forgot about it being tomorrow until about 8 o'clock tonight and by then the corner mart we shop at had closed, and the next closest (open) shop would be a good twenty minutes away. And I was lazy.
Might nip out early tommorow to get things. Not that we don't have eggs in the fridge. They've just been there a while and I don't trust them. How long do refrigerated eggs last?
And then, when I took my dog out, we made the unfortunate mistake of chasing a rabbit. O.o Oops.
B: Look! Go get 'im! Go get 'im!! Good doggeh!!
B: *lightbulb* O.o
B: Stop! Stop! Don't chase the easter bunny, damn it!!!
Dog: *Doesn't give a rat's ass; keeps trying to chase*
B: T.T
And in case you're wondering, I choose my cereal by what toy I get in it. Last time I got a Toucan Sam. I will be sending away for the cousins and the monster. XP

deadwood--sundays at ten (spoilers)
on HBO. XD
It has me hooked. Not quite to the level that Carnivale had me, but then, one must take what one gets and with deadwood, I'm certainly not complaining.
Oh, hell. I may as well admit I had little interest in it after the pilot (which I payed little attention to, online as I was) and it wasn't until this week's replay of last sunday's episode that I decided to be a fan.
Because those guys who run the hardware store are kind of cool lookin'. ^.~* And Wild Bill Hickock was neat, even if they just killed him off, those bastards! Even if he let that stupid lady with the feather in her hat hang around him.
Grr~ I hope they kill her off next, if only because she's so goddamn annoying. Her and the blonde prostitute with the gun down her blouse. Really, Alma's the only un-irritating lady in that show so far.
Anyway. Everyone cusses way too much to be believeable, even if they were all potty-mouthed back then. "Cocksucker" seems to be the explitive of choice, "Fuckin Cocksucker" for added emphasis. And when the feathered-hat-lady (jane?) says it it's just kind of sad and pathetic. Such a try-hard. ^^; I wish someone would shoot her already. ><"
I notice that the hardware store guys rarely cuss at all. And for all their walking softly, you know they've got the biggest sticks now that Hickock's died a pointless, brutal death. >.> I get a kick out of the fact they run a clean hardware and aren't some clihe coolness like assasins or bounty hunters or some such.
And anyway, they're cool lookin'. XP

animanga-->animal manga XD
ey, I'm sucker for dog stories, too. ^^ An unashamed consumer of cutesy-dog-manga. That excludes things like Ginga Legend, btw. Things like Shibao, and Wau Wau Wata.
In fact wau wau's Wata looks a lot like my dog, which is why I love that manga. Except maybe my dog's a bit dumber that old timer Wata, who's given is age is fifteen. ^^v *apal*
Wata's a better manga than Shibao, in my opinion. The animal drawings are a lot stronger, and the--somewhat far-fetched (no pun intended)--story is far more amusing and has a lot continuity, while Shibao is one cute moment to the next, with no real plot or development.
For rabbit manga, I'd recommned Sentaro (that bunny cracks me up!) and for horse manga, all I know is Syphid, which is great if you enjoy creepyly human muscle structure on horses. >.>

car+smoke= O.o
This is getting to be a habit. ^^; I have class in the morning, damn it.
And no garage appointment till two. I might have to 'nekad ajah' it and I think it'll be ok to drive, but I'm not sure. If you never hear from me again, it might mean things went . . . askew. XD
Or it means I didn't have time to blog before my class trip to NYC, and I'll be back by late Sunday or sometime Monday.
This trip is supposed to be an art class, but really the only thing thats only my 'got to see list' (other than the statue of liberty, of course) is the the naked cowboy, who's really not so much a naked cowboy as a naked guy in a cowboy hat. XP With a guitar.

No naked cowboy till we were on the way home. Got a glimpse from the bus window, but by the time the kids had their cameras out we'd passed. Didn't get to buy a Statue of Liberty lighter either. Did eat a lot and bought a kakashi hanging dangly thing. I don't know what it is, but it's pretty cool. XP And kakashi, hey!
Social blog:
mashi: I did say I was leaving. *sulk* Your empty word mean nothing now. ('pa coba? telenovela banget ^^;; )I read your yaoi fic that you posted at AI. >.> In math. Bikin gwe nyengir2 and kecicikan gitu. *tendang mashi* Di pelototin proffnya. I blame yuo, mashi. *kicked again*

aoki: *geplak* mashi art day doesn't mean mashi updated. That pic was sent with YIM. Mashi is lazy.
kazakaza: Kazahaya kah? kalo blon tau blon berani rese-in kaza blogger ah. XP Ntar udah diresein salah lagi.
leadz: salam kenal!!! XD XD boleh kan kapan2 maen ke blog lo lagi?
LG: Heeeeeeee~y!! Naruto, huh? ^_~* And that naked cowboy . . . what a slacker. Not there the whole time we were wandering all glassy eyed though broadway, trying to retrieve group members from the mtv filming thing (whatever it was). We were there all day long! and nothing! Then the day we leave . . . out of the corner of my eye! Dammit. But hey, I saw a dude who's often on lenno! W00t!
