plain obsessed >>
There are plenty of 'You know
you're obsessed with ....' lists out there and .... well, unless there is
someone insane enough to actually do ALL of the things listed, I believe
that those lists are all made up by fans like me. ^.^ Not like I have any
complaints or anything. ^.^
Wanna see a list of what I -really- do? Or did? Believe it or not, the following
are true stories. It might be my hopelessness, it might be Kurama's spirit
taking over ... or maybe I'm just one big Baka, but ... Awheck, here goes.
^.^
Hotel KFurama
Let's start with my graduation
dinner. It was a little celebration for us students who were graduating
from high school and thanking the teachers for their support and guidance
throughout the years. We were holding the dinner/party at a hotel. Hotel
Furama to be exact.
And you might have guessed... 9 times out of 10 I would go "HEY! We're going
to Hotel KURAMA for our graduation dinner!" Those who knew me and about
my hopeless obession would just fall into fits of laughter until I finally
realized what I'd just said and slapped them on the back. Others would just
give me The Odd Look (tm).
Do you even want to know what happened when the school passed around the
'Map of Hotel Furama'? No duh, it became the famous 'Map of Kurama' among
the Baka friends of mine. Featured on the map was "Kurama's Circulation",
"Kurama's Chambers, Rooms and Ballrooms" and of course, "Heart of Kurama".
To the more twisted ones, there was the "Map Around Kurama" ... which included
some stuff I refuse to put on here to save the world's sanity.
Oh great, now I can't even spell Furama right without thinking twice or
typing KURAMA at first. Even more, the poor Hotel's name has changed ever
since my little 'mistake'. My friends would point to the Hotel and go "LOOK!
Hotel Kurama!" whenever we pass by. We're even reading the name wrong. I
don't think 'Furama' is a Japanese name so it should be read AS IS, with
the "RRR" sound as in "ROW", and not the "LLL" sound like in "Ku-La-Ma".
I feel sorry for the owner of Furama Hotel and Resorts. But if I have the
time, I might become a daily bypasser of the "Furama Florist".
In Love With A Mountain
I do research... I really do.
And believe it or not ... or alright, you might already know this, but there's
a Mount Kurama somewhere in Japan. Happy, happy! I'll have to drop by someday!
And now you come to me telling me that their Kanji aren't the same. So what?!
Oh good, if I ever talk about my love life with a geography student who
never watched or heard of Yu Yu Hakusho in their life, they'll probably
think I'm in love with a mountain.
Can't Get Enough Of His Name
That's right. His name is always
floating around in my head. There's been countless times that I've mistaken
something for his name. Like what? Obviously FURAMA had
been very difficult. Then there was Karma.
I was happily listening to the lovely song known as 'Affirmation' by Savage
Garden when suddenly the word 'Kurama' popped out. Wait... Kurama?
In Savage Garden's song? You gotta be kidding. So I went back and listened
to that part again. Ooh... so it was Karma. My wrong.
"I believe in Kurama what you give is what you get
returned...."
And next
... THIS, I swear I'd be really scared if it was real.
My friend and I were wandering around and somehow talking about a certain
Pokemon called Ditto. (Don't ask me why ... I don't watch much Pokemon.
=P) Ah yes! It was very hot that day and we were about to 'melt' ... and
thus turn into the blob known as Ditto. She started telling me how Ditto
... er.. speaks? Sounds like? (*sweatdrop*) And here's what happened:
She: And it goes
"mama ... mama..." all the time.
Me: *wasn't really paying attention..... BUT suddenly
turns around, eyes wide and ..* It goes ... what?
She: *confused* Mama mama?
Me: Want to know what I heard?
She: Sure .....
Me: ... kurama ... kurama ...
She: *sweatdrops* (No seriously... =P)
This soon became my "call".
^.~ "Kurama! Kurama!" Yeah ~~
Mrs Minamino - I just got married?!
No, I'm
not talking about Shuuichi-chan's mother. I'm talking about .... ME! *ducks
from all the raw garbage and debris* Hey! I thought I said it in the disclaimers
part that none of this is official! Don't kill me ... c'mon, I'm sure a
lot of you out there claim to be Mrs. Kurama, Kurama no
Okay, I got a little lost there again, where was I? Ah yes, Mrs Minamino.
Well, it's become a habit for me to tell people that my surname happens
to be Minamino. Why? Oh YOU KNOW WHY! No? Sorry. :P For ANY online thing
I have to register, I always give "Minamino" as my surname. Among my friends,
I'm known as "Mrs. Kurama" or "Mrs Minamino" or "Kurama no Hime". (Hey!
I did register for the Hime list!)
And now, whenever people come to me for surveys or stuff, I automatically
WANT to tell them my last name's Minamino. Well, sometimes I do, sometimes
I don't ... it really depends.
But the first time it happened ... it was a mere accident. I just hopped
off the bus from work with "Koori no NAIFU o Daite" (Kurama's image song)
playing on my discman. This person came up to me and asked me to do a survey
on entertainment and stuff and I agreed, since I had nothing better to do
anyway. After we were through, she asked for my first name... which I gave
quickly and without much problem. Then last name... I blurted out "Mi--"
at first before giving my real last name. Boy, I bet she found me weird.
^.~
Hm... maybe I got married to Kurama ... not like I'm complaining or anything.
^.~
Law of Relativity... It doesn't apply properly for me.
I'm sorry,
Mr Einstein, but for me, everything's related to Kurama in some way.
Plants? Do I have to say more?
Biology? Oh c'mon ...
Foxes? How dare you even ask!
Kiss From A Rose? .... *drool* I wonder if my non-anime-watcher friends
who saw me laughing like crazy after listening/singing to Kiss From a Rose
would ever find out what the hell's wrong with me.
Red -- Nanase Aikawa's CD? Red... that's Kurama's hair color!
Omi Tsukiyono's Cross Earring?! Yes! Kurama wore an earring before! I have
to find that particular picture ... or I'll just GO BUY a hard copy and
scan it!
I'm dying my hair red!! No, mommy, don't kill me!
And basically, all anime characters that I like after Kurama have something
to do with him. ^.~ (no wonder I started to like Tatara from Fushigi Yuugi...
)
Can't Read Chinese, But Will Learn For Him.
I'm from
Hong Kong alright, but trust me, I can't read a lot of Chinese. But! I'm
learning! I'm learning! I even BOUGHT a book which was in CHINESE just for
Kurama. Really, I don't read Chinese books 'sides for manga ....
Why? In a particular epsiode in Yu Yu Hakusho ... hm, right before Yuusuke
got 'captured' by those people with 'supernatural powers' ... there's this
scene with Kurama at school reading a BOOK when 2 of his classmates came
to him. Ring a bell? Or simply think of the part where we SEE he got 1st
in the entire year. Got it? No? That's your problem.
Back to the book. That BOOK he was reading was a famous one by a ... famous
author! *DUCKS* I'm sorry, but I don't know the author's name nor the book's
name in Japanese. ^^;;;
