Join
the Izumi Maki Online Fan Club! Here's how:
Step
One:
Convinence yourself that it's worth your time to make the world
know that you're associated with this masterpiece of character
design.
Step
Two:
Give your sense of humor a pat on the back because now you get
to use it.
Step
Three:
Start making puns off every possible word you heard from people,
and (very important) laugh at the puns. I know this may be difficult
because the lameness, but it's not funny unless you laugh at them.
Ignore any attempt at stoping you by others. Remember they're
just jelous.
Step
Four:
Step back and apperciate what you've done, that you have made
everyone laugh (or run away), and how you are one step closer
to unity with Izumi's state of mind.
Step
Five:
Shrivel in distaste as you realize how weird that was, then also
realize that it was actually pretty funny.
Step
Six:
Realizing what I told you above are just something to waste your
time with, you should wonder what's the REAL thing you have to
do to join the club.
Step
Seven:
Take a break. Treat yourself to some cold milk-cultured drink.
Wait for the top banner to load if it's not done transfering.
Feel like you are one of them already.
Step
Eight:
Think about different images of Izumi, and how you'd rather see
them animated on a TV screen rather than in your pathetic imagination.
Step
Nine:
Develop an urge to see Nadesico. If you haven't seen it
then you'll have no problem doing this one. If you did, bake yourself
in the fond memories of those happy times. If you can watch it
again, however, don't. If you do you'll never finish what you
were doing.
Step
Ten:
Now you are ready for the final step. Click
here to load up your email composition window associated with
your web browser. In the body of the email, list the following
items, and under each type in the answer to them:
NAME
(your name, real, fake, as long as it's unique)
WEBPAGE
(a webpage that you want us to link to. your homepage
is usually a good idea)
FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT IZUMI
(why do you like Izumi)
PUNS PER DAY
(just an estimate)
WORSE JOKE YOU EVER TOLD
(just put some lame joke here. I don't care.)
FAVORITE JAPANESE DISH
(if you don't know that's fine.
If you don't know what it's called, describe it. If you do know,
describe it too.)
ANYTHING
ELSE
(anything else that you think we should know about you)
Now,
once you send that mail, you' may be notified by me once I received
it. Regardless, it'll be a matter of time when your entry be added
to the list of official members. I may do a little bit of editing
to your fanclub entry if it's unfitting, but as a lazy person
as I am it's very unlikely.
Easy,
huh?

Character
design:
This term referrs to how a character in a work of fiction is constructed:
in appearence, personality, and style.
Sense
of humor:
The inherent
charisma attribute that makes what you do humorous naturally.
(also something that I lack).
Difficult:
A tough college is a good example. Standing on your head alone
is difficult (don't try this at home, kids), while finding a webpage
with really bad layout is not difficult.
Lameness:
If you don't know this one, go ask a warez junkie (they'll either
be the embodiment of lameness, or they can give you a good definition).
Milk-cultured
drink:
For some reason they're not very popular in the US, but what they
are kinda like milk with a yogurt taste, but sweeter and thinner.
They probably go by a different name that escapes me at the moment.
Proggy:
Kawaii? way to say Program. It saves the typing.
Email:
Electronic Mail. And believe me, it's not all that hyped up to
be. Originally designed with a noble purpose, now it's degenerated
to propagation of stray
philosophy, mass commercials, and lame chain letters and hoaxes.
Hey, it's fine by me.
Japanese
dish:
Not to be confused with a dish made in Japan or a Japanese-styled
dish. Think with your stomach, dammit.
Howmei:
A character from Nadesico. She's the chief chef (heh) onboard
the battleship Nadesico. Able to cook a very wide variety
of foods. She makes me hungry... (hey, keep your thoughts to yourself)
