O Y HELO THAR INTERNET. I forgot about my website. Yes. I am THAT COOL. College is uh, neat. It would be pointless for me to write about my adventures with people because I would be sitting here for a few hours and then this would time out and I would be sad. And besides, I have a really dumb computer class to attend at 1 PM. HOORAY. I cooked myself some alfredo noodles but I won't have time to eat all of them... arrrrrgh. I just want to take a lazy Friday afternoon naaaappppp...
I've been converted to Yamapi. Holy moly. AaAgagahGGHAhaggAhaah. Nobuta wo Produce was indeed excellent. I'll have to see more of the dramas that he is in... something "Propose"... because that's all I've been able to read of scanned magazine articles. Humbug!
Woo in my dorm room! Moved in! School starts tomorrow! Aaaalllll of the Japanese exchange students are super friendly and... very... cute. Heehee. I am slowly making friends with them. Woop. Yeah... so... everything here's been fine! I'm just sitting here listening to Dianne Reeves and drinking Cherry Coke. I finally bought some mango sorbet! IM GONNA EAT THE WHOLE THING OMNOMNOMNOM.
I decided to not go to the Fred Meyer party thing since it goes so late... and I have class tomorrow morning. Booooooon.
Well Eugene trip was excellent. And so was Kumoricon. There was hardly any sleeping and a whole lot of mango sorbet. Dorothy is amaaaaazinggggggg! I'm still waiting for the rest of the KCon pictures to surface before I make a huge con report... but it's coming... eventually.
I've been packing my stuff up into boxes because I move out soon. It's sneaking up on me. Bah. I feel tired and unmotivated. I'm sure once I'm out of the house that feeling will go away, though. Getting kind of frustrated with friends who act stupidly towards people then get upset because now they have problems. And people who complain about everything. Criminy. Some people just get me down. Don't for oen moment assume that you're the only person on earth with problems!
And now... because I am easily distracted...

The crossed out ones are really pending, and probably won't happen any time soon. There are so many! This is going to be crazy. That and I'm trying to learn the Hare Hare Yukai dance. AND trying to learn Hallelujah Goodbye... I think as long as I obsess over these things I'll get them done. Mm. That's probably not a very logical approach but that's alright with me. Time to go do... things...
Ooooooh Ichimaru icon. It's the only icon that I've actually liked that I've made recently. I have about 10 made since my last icon/graphics post, but I need to get more creative. I have a lot of screencaps to work with, though. YES. So news, news! Today is my send-off dinner (saadddd...) and tomorrow is my last day of work (MOAR SAAAADDDD!!)! But I'm also excited, because I head off to Dorothy's in two days. EEE. Then Kumoricon. Then SK starts and I want to go and bug teachers. Then Bellingham family trip. Then moving into my dorm! These next few weeks are going to fly by.
So I kept seeing characters from this one series all over the internet (images in general, .gifs, and even popular when it came to cosplaying) and decided to do some investigation. I guess it's all from a 14-episode series called Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, which translates to "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." Then I started watching the series subbed on youtube (there was one user account there that had all of them divided nicely with lots of info... "HaruShugi" or something...). The narration was perfect. I wasn't too into the character deisgn/art (AMY SAYS NO TO GIANT EYEBALLS) but I tolerated it because I loved the series. I finished it today! I recommend it to everyone! But no one reads this! That's alright! I kind of want to do a Yuki Nagato cosplay someday... but the version with the witch hat and cape. YUS. I wonder if I'll be able to go to SakuraCon all three days in 2008... because Friday and Saturday are the biggest days for cosplay pictures and shoots... and I hope I can make it Friday! And I will definitely be there for Saturday. Because. ZATTSUKAN! I have been doing rehearsals in my room since I am unable to attend the group ones. I feel bad, but I'll work hard! I'm going!!
Naaaa, what's with all this energy? Is it because I slept in? Or because my right eye looks disfigured (it's looking weird!!)? Or is it because I finally got a French Press and I made myself amazing coffee this morning?! Yup, gotta be the coffee. I think so.
I made a Broadway excursion with Teresa! We walked there from dowtown! My legs and feet were upset with me afterwards but it was well worth it! I love hangouts with Teresa!
I think I need to get ready for work... I am half dressed and only did half of my makeup. And I have an email! Hooray! Email! Euugh, I need to call Adam and see if he has my costume done. If not, I bet I could pick it up after work on Sunday. Mmhmm. And I need to get a brown eyebrow pencil. And then I'll buy polaroid film and then get packing! I'll bring two bags (one in the other) so I can take a smaller bag to Kumoricon and I won't have to lug the giant one around. Mmhmm. That's the plan. What the heck. I wonder when I'm just going to hit a wall, after this energy disperses... hopefully I will shelve a million carts today! But I have to finish the POSH and do the bookdrop! Oh no! I'll shelve a million carts on Sunday, then! What?! I'm already procrastinating and rationalizing laziness that hasn't happened yet?!?! I blame my eyeball!!
NO IZURU ICON LOLWUT. I start work in an hour-ish. I really need lunch. Last staff meeting today for me. SAD. Ragh. And I guess we're having a group dinner at King's Teriyaki after work on Sunday for kind of a goodbye thingy. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. AH I HEAR KIDS RUNNING IN THE LIBRARY. NOOOOOOOOOOO. And today I tried on the rough design for Windows CE... SO STOKED. And I go to Dorothy's in six days! I got my train tickets taken care of... and Thursday I'm going shopping... I need to buy a wig for Windows CE... I'm thinking just regular brown hair that I can put it pigtails and then cut a little bit. SOUNDS SIMPLE ENOUGH. HOORAY. OKAY I reaaaallllyyyy need lunch. All I've really had today is sugar and cofffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeuuurrrggghhh...
Really sleepy, too. Well I have tomorrow off (probably going to clean my room and internalize my to-do list) so that'll be a nice break where I can have TIME TO MYSELF. Guh. People drive me crazy sometimes... I'd like to enjoy my last opportunities to be alone before college starts when I will have zero to minimal alone time. AMY LIKES HER ALONE TIME! GRRR!! Which is why I think I should move out of the country... but paying rent for one person is kind of steep and might be easier with a roomate... rhufgrueu7ty4p9efaiuh
Wow. Let's see how many times I can post in a row with an icon that features Izuru! AGH. LOSER. Soooo news, news! Well my last day of work is August 26th. I'm kind of excited because I'll have a lot of free time but I'm also pretty bummed because I'm going to miss my job and all of my co-workers. A lot. I got my Kumoricon registration card in the mail yesterday, which was a relief, because I thought they might mail it after I left for Oregon... and I guess the con is now hosted in Vancouver, Washington. HAH! STILL HOME TURF! Their pitch was that there's a new hotel/conference building there (maybe a couple of years old) and so it's really clean and pretty and modern... like some rooms have TV screens on the outside ( COUGH 1984 COUGH COUGH ) so you can just watch what's going on from there to see if you're interested. I'm waaaay stoked. First of all, because I am going to Eugene for a few days early for epic Dorothy hangouts ( I NEED TO BUY MY TRAIN TICKETS!!!!! ) and then we're traveling up to Vancouver later on for the con... and Carina will be there and so will Gabby! I think we're all rooming together so it's like... SakuraCon 2007 Reunion ( and now I have Kadaj's voice going through my head "RIIYUUNION" ). Eeee.
I checked out the English release of D.Gray-man from the library to see how poor of a job they did with it. The asnwer? VERY. POOR. UNSATISFACTORY. For instance, on one page it'll have a character named "Lenalee" but on the opposite page she'll be called "Linali." Did they not even communicate to each other about what the names are?! It's terrible.
My bittorrent for The Darkside of the Bleeding Moon is almost ( FINALLY! ) done. It's because my dad won't leave the internet on because we're going to get "hacked" or get a "virus." Laaaaame. But yeah. Stoked for that, too... because now I won't have to youtube it anymore. And in my opinion, it's the musical with the best soundtrack, compared to the other runs of Rock Musical Bleach. No Clouds in the Blue Heavens had potential, but there was just too much dialogue. And fight scenes that went for 15+ minutes. And I STILL haven't seen the backstage for this one so I'm way excited about that, too. Maybe if I keep on positives the negative things will no longer affect me... let's hope.
Man, I failed to update again. Oh well. I guess that's good because it means that I've been busy and out doing things and making plans. I've had some extra hours at work and then making litle excursions with friends. I'm really looking forward to the end of the month because I'm going to take a train down to Eugene, Oregon to spend a few days with Dorothy. Then we're going to head up to Portland for Kumoricon! It's probably going to be the best week of my life ( in the U.S., anyway :D ). For cosplay, I'm going to be doing Windows CE from OS Tan, Tsuna from REBORN!, and Allen Walker from D.Gray-man. I'll be borrowing Dorothy's costume since she won't be using it. I'm super stoked. She's tailoring it so it fits me. Awww. I feel so special. Last week I spent most of my time catching up on manga and now I'm totally caught up on D.Gray-man so that was exciting, too. I was inspired to cosplay as Rhode Camelot for SakuraCon 2008... I also want to do two combos with Dorothy: Eliza/Faust from Shaman King ( I don't really like that series, I just like Faust a lot har har ) and then Yako/Neuro from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. That one's going to be a little harder to do since not many people in the U.S. know about that series... so I'll have to get plenty of infoz and pixxxx. After the anime gets released it'll probably become more well-known. I hope.
My head kind of hurts, but I've had a busy day with lots of caffeine. It gave me the energy I needed to finish thank you cards. I also need to send a postcard to Gallegos. I have a gazillion postcards lying about. I have a lot of pamphlets and flyers to give her. Hooray. The SKSD doesn't start school until September 5th so that gives me a chance to go in and harrass teachers one last time before I escape their clutches. I'm excited for that, too. And dorm shopping. And moving out. And taking amazing classes that aren't in the morning. The rest of this year is going to be all kinds of amazing.
Well it has been over a month... and what an interesting month it has been. First off, Japan was marvelous. I know that somehow I'm going to make it back there sometime soon. It was just goregous... and the people and culture were really amazing... I wish they didn't assume that I know zero Japanese... I know some! I READ UR MENUS LOL. But yeah. Now I can read it pretty fast... and I have some of the DVDs that I've only dreamed of downloading someday... mahahahahaha. And clothes. And cake. And other little trinkets. Oh man, the gashapon. Everywhere. I also miss the availability of vending machines... vending machines with DELICIOUS THINGS in them. I really want to do study abroad in Kyoto. I loved it there. And I hear that they have amazing art schools? WOO.
For details on my trip, read over at http://amyinnippon.blogspot.com. Do it. YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.
So yeah... that and orientation at Central. Bah. That was not so fun. But I do now have an up-and-running Macbook! It's gorgeous and runs like a dream. I've got strands of peach between my teeth and laundry to finish. What a lame update.
Good evening, champions! I decided to be a loser and not post to my site in over a month. WELL THAT DROUGHT IS OVER. YES. LOOK. FOR I AM POSTING. WHAT A SIGHT. So. Updating. Since the last post, I got to have EPICTIEMZ with Carina at her suite apartment. It involved illegal Mii-fighting. And donuts. And capslock. And Bleach. And Win. Let's see now... Alden beat Twilight Princess. That was rad. I love Midna. OH. We held the Senior Art Show and that was rad and then Prom and then I graduated. Today was my last day of work for a while. I think I have a staff meeting on Tuesday... morning... ighhh.
I haven't had much time to myself lately so tomorrow I plan on sleeping in and just doing whatever floats my boat and... planning and... cleaning. Jawsome. Let's see. Saw Keren Ann live. Went to Dutchee's house. Usual galavanting... I keep remembering things. It's only been a little over a month and a gazillion things have happened. BUZZZZZZZY.
I go to Japan with Hannako in THREE DAYS.
O HAY one year anniversary of website kind of... because all of my entries before June 16th of 2006 got deleted because technology is AWESOME. Which reminds me. Happy Birthday, Kimeru! I love pointless things. I think I'm going to chat with people for a while then watercolor in my room. Sounds like the plan of a WINNER.
I AM TIRED AND EXHAUSTED AND WARM AND NEEDING TO HEAD TO BED TO LISTEN TO SOME SWEET PIANO COLLECTIONS AHHH
I need to matt my work for the art show. I'm finishing up prints this week (hopefully going to find fiber paper HOPEFULLY!) and then add to my photo journal over the weekend and also manage to do a large portion of my CWP binder and think of a final project for that class... and then my humanities final project... I made a Chinese poster the other day and I'm way proud of it. AGH I just remembered that I need to finish scanning my business cards... which I am also fond of.
I spent Mother's Day watching Eddie Izzard with my mom and then watching my brother play Zelda.
I think I can handle life.
I'm congested and busy! I spent most of my week with Teresa, which was very nice because we don't feel obligated to talk about pressing concerns or issues or boyfriends or school or travel or grades... ahh it's a relaxing atmosphere. Alden randomly decided to drop by this weekend, and he rented Twilight Princess for my Gamecube. I'm not used to this Gamecube version because it's mirrored from the Wii (because they made Link right-handed specifically for the Wii with the swinging of the remote and Link is typically left-handed) so I get really confused and I've been giving him bad directions... darn.
June is going to be totally crazy. 'Nuff said.
Such a tiring week. After all the stress built up I finally got sick and threw up a lot the other day. Arrrrrrgh. I love raspberry lemonade, though. And the prospect of evening plans. I need to make a business card for photo... and it's not gonna be some ugly digital computer print-out, either! I'm cutting and pasting my stuff myself yeah yeah!
I need to think of yet another costume. So far on my list I have to do Rikku (KH version) and Yamada Hanatarou... so I think I should do something with D.Gray-Man to match Dorothy (who by the way sent me a picture of her face enclosed in a square that said "My Home Theatre"). So I guess I'll take a shower, set my alarm, draw weird pictures and fall asleep. Comic/story books are my favorite things right now. I found a really good one today and I am gonna try and buy it somewhere somehow!
Speaking of online orders, my boots are in I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S! Goodnight.
OH MY GOODNESS WE HAVE MY CHILDHOOD LOVE: MINT ICED TEA!
I took an extreme nap yesterday. It went from 10:00 PM to 5:19 AM. My bedroom light was still on and I was still in my clothes. AND OF COURSE IT WAS FREEZING. Why is it that everyday that I work it's sun-basking weather outside? Like today. Today was perfect sun-basking weather RIGHT AS I WAS LEAVING for work and for much of the duration of work. HJFDSdfds. The scab on my wrist keeps healing in a way that it heals when my wrist is turned down... so then when I bend it, it goes KRRRHKK and re-opens and is all hurty.
Made an excursion to Silverdale with Hannako after doing my closed library shift. Caty Lieseke snuck up to the car at a stop light (almost, I saw her creeping over) so that was invigorating.
I'm trying to stay up to watch SNL with mi madre so I might kill time by working on my VD (aka visual diary) for photo. I need to make a bunch of little prints for the cosplay pages. There's paper EVERYWHERE (exposed paper, mind you) in the darkroom. The sheer amount of it is appalling. "Why are we out of good RC and fiber paper?" BECAUSE YOU MORONS DO NOT SAVE WHAT YOU CUT OFF AND ALSO FAIL TO PUT IT BACK INTO THE LIGHTSAFE PACKAGING. SCUM! SCUM!!
In other news I looked horrible today. I'm watching the DEATH NOTE movie with Alden on May 1st because he found it at Scarecrow and I said GET IT. Yeah yeah.
He slapped the dead man's empty wallet against his thigh and sat down
I opened the envelope and took out a couple of small prints, very clea
I had a reason for going back to the office. A special delivery letter
I am VERY fatigued and sore. The medicine in the 3 shots I got (which didn't hurt when injected yay!) is making my arms sore and numb, which makes it hard to complete daily tasks. That and the bloody scrape on my wrist. That hurts WAY MORE than it should. So I slept a lot today. And watched half of a Korean movie. Pretty good so far. Even though the library is closed on Friday I still have to work. Oh well. I think it'll be kinda fun.
I need to talk to TE - RI - SUHHHHH.
More executive decisions being made regarding the YuRiPa (Yuna, Rikku, Paine abbreviated) cosplay for Kumoricon! We decided on doing the Kingdom Hearts versions of the costumes, because they're cuter, and frankly, much easier to make. I'm even more excited to start on my costume.
Alden called me this evening to tell me that he got his moth tattoo. I'm really excited to see it... and his friend cut his hair, so I wanna see that too!! We're going to go shopping next week :)
The rest of this week is getting THREE SHOTS TOMORROW (immunizations)
finishing Bailey's senior portraits
my photographic diary thingamajig
work...
GLEE! I'm making plans for September! This morning Dorothy mentioned to me how I should go to Kumoricon in Vancouver, WA later on in the year and we should coordinate a group cosplay. I couldn't think of anything good for a while. So I started thinking about Final Fantasy things to do. I mentioned the prospect of going as the women of FFX-2 because I really think Rikku's outfit is super neat. That's when Dorothy said she wanted to go as Paine and Tania wanted to go as Yuna! SO IT IS DECIDED! HAPPY NERD MOMENT DANCE! But I wanna do the FFX Rikku costume and not the FFX-2 because I don't want to wear a yellow bikini in front of creeps.
Gah. So anyway, I think that's just about all the excitement going on for me right now... and Japan is less than two months away ♥ I need to get back to working on my visual diary. I am re-making the DEATH NOTE page now that I have good pictures and examples and stuff... it's gonna kick arse YEAH YEAH!
Went to the Mike Reynolds send off. It took a lot of people a while to recognize me because of my hair. By September, I hope to have achieved complete mysteriousness. ENIGMATIC. I want to hang out with The Twins a lot... and I probably will. They remind me that they have their futon/sofa for me :D
I'm watching The Good Shepherd with Alden and my mom.
I'm having breakfast with Hannako and a few others tomorrow morning.
This is a good feeling.
I had tea so I'm gonna be awake forever. I read "Ghost World." That was neat. Makes me wanna draw pictures. I'll do that tonight after laundry folding and shower. Sounds good. Mm mm.
Carina and I ate ice cream today and immediately ran out of things to do. So we showed her Gorst. It was lovely. I'm waaaay way way way excited for Zattsu kan. It's gonna be great. There's so much that's already in motion in preparation for this so... next year. I can't wait. We're gonna book things soon.
Tomorrow I have to go to a class on Intellectual Freedom for my job as a Page in a library. I'm pretty sure that'll be fun.
Talking to Alden about Romantic era poetry is grand.
A MERRY FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH TO ALL OF YOU! It has been over a week since Sakura Con, and I'm still recovering from the glory of it all. I can't even begin to describe the life-changing event. To be brief, I met some of the most amazing people on the planet: Carina, Gabby, Tania, and Dorothy. We're all gonna room and cosplay together next year ♥ If you'd like to get a more in-depth review of the event complete with pictures, CLICK THIS BOLD PRINT. Oh man. SO MUCH FUN. A cool guy from Canada, Alex (again, click the bold text to go to his site; it has TONS of super suite photos of the con), took my picture and thousands of others.
Everything is going well. Except my room. That's just a disaster that I will probably spend tomorrow night cleaning. I GET TO FINALLY SLEEP IN TOMORROW...! But not as much as usual... I like having lots of leisure time Saturday morning when I can make myself a cup of tea and eat some yogurt and listen to music. Oh well. Sleep is sleep. I CANNOT ARGUE WITH WIN.
Sephiroth died a slow, painful death so I tried to comfort him as much as possible in his final moments in this world. I gave him a very nice burial in the backyard. Hm. The Other Side of the Gate. Anywho,
Tomorrow is the start of Sakura Con! I am completely set! I'm excited to try and do my hair tomorrow. AHHHH it'll be all crusty and full of hair product... but it's cut in the perfect style for L so I'm pretty pumped. At first I couldn't get the B&W film to load into Rachel's camera but then I cut off the leter (liter? letre?) and got it to cooperate. I was in panic mode for a bit... I get to meet Dorothy and I'm really jazzed for that. I FINISHED MAKING HER CD:
Today I bought metallic handcuffs, two bags of dum-dums, and black liquid eyeliner. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?! And I have almost everything set for Tacoma on Wednesday so Demetri can cut/color my hair. EXCITED. And I sent in my proposition to the staffers of SC. Hope something can work out. I NEED TO MAKE A TO-DO LIST... and at least find my old one D:
So this week and next I have crazy hours due to the fact that I am making up the hours I missed from last weekend and this upcoming weekend. So that and make-up work... homework... I have a humanities test waiting for my return. Sephiroth is behaving strangely. Bagh.
So I wanna be a bat
And I want to touch the sun
I will try to force a smile
Dentist tomorrow. Yuck.
Finally watched the first NANA movie, but solely to see Matsuyama Kenichi play bass guitar. It's almost the same role as L... he has brightly colored drinks (in this case, green) and is sort of out of it and quiet and spacey... but more social interaction! And it looks like a Hot Topic attacked him. Sweetest smile ever. He's up there with Tacchan. GOOD SMILES! I will post a collection of really good smiles someday.
Catching a flight tomorrow... so right now... homework and packing? And chute, I need to submit transcripts to Central and I think I need that signed so I might have to grab one at school, fill it out, have my dad sign it, run back in, and submit it. Ackghgfj.
Timed write tomorrow on BNW. I think I'll be fine. I'll look up quotes tonight and tomorrow morning that will aid me in my quest. So that and some poem dissecting and more maps to fill in for CWP and then focusing on the Rainier competition for photo... man, I need to pack. I don't know what to wear... except for the wedding! I know what I'm wearing for that. At least I have that planned out... eto... tomorrow... jeans, flats, shirt, cardigan? Why am I even talking about this?! Next week I prepare my L cosplay! I'm setting up a hair appointment with my good buddy Demetrius.
I am musically prepared for travel: Regina Spektor, Beirut, Grizzly Bear, Dntel, Sigur R๓s, Neko Case, Fiona Apple, The Pillows, and my new love: Slagsmๅlsklubben!
Goodnight and Good Luck!
I wish I didn't get sick so often. I have a lot of makeup work to do but I think I can handle it... work again tomorrow... I need to finish my Central application. My head is so clogged I can't even think. I'll finish things tomorrow during photo because my printing is done. I think I just need to sleep... but I'm checking over what I read of BNW because I'll probably have another quiz on it tomorrow. I'll go to class early...
I need to be outdoors with unstressed people.
Mooooood swiiiiiiiiings. I have really good friends. Alden called me today and we had a really good conversation. I would have liked to talk longer, but I had company over. Bargh. All the books I'm reading in English this tri are going to be good. I TALKED TO MAHAR TODAY! That was neat. And I did book checkouts at the school library.
A Small Victory for Team Amy.
TODAY WAS VERY GOOD. Nothing went wrong. Everyone around me was in good spirits (mostly) and work was swell and it was nice out and on the ride home my dad was flashing gang signs at passing vehicles and we got delicious ciabatta things and SODA and came home and my L Death Note tote bag had come in the mail (I'm waiting for two other things... and my dad's gonna start thinking that I spend ridiculous amounts of money feverishly shopping online) and that was exciting and read manga and it made me happy and I sort of cleaned my room and Corbin called to make sure I was feeling better and I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Skyler is lending me his Wii while he's in Colorado this week and I lovelove my English class and Brave New World and the other things I'll be reading and my CWP class is gonna be fun and for my final Humanities project I'm doing pinhole (CAMERA OBSCURA) photography with Hutch and I just watched Little Miss Sunshine with my parents and it made me smile a lot and feel deep sadness for some of the characters but I truly loved it and now I'm texting one of the most amazing people on the planet and texting can be defined as follows:
This morning seems like yesterday and I put Neko Case's "Blacklisted" on my iPod so I'm set for some twangy listening this fine evening and I have to do my Central Application and my first CWP assignment on Child Labor and figure out what I'm wearing tomorrow and find a white long-sleeved shirt and fix the L pants and test that color film to see if it really expired in 1994 and gather my things to return to the library and take a shower and practice my Japanese and check my to-do list and clean my room and brush my teeth and draw pictures and mail letters and cards and make phone calls and tell everyone that they're important to me and try to spend less money with my upcoming paycheck and plan for the IF class and my subbing hours over Spring Break (oh, Spring Break, it's practically here!) and Bailey's senior portraits and do sit-ups and maybe get my hair cut by Demetri and I'm forgetting things; forgetting MILLIONS of things that I am just overwhelmed with right now so overwhelmed that I don't know what to say and I should stop because it's past midnight and therefore tomorrow but I don't care. Man, how am I getting home from work tomorrow?!
- Update website DONE.
I feel horrible today. And for matching's sake, I look horrible as well. But I did wear a striped shirt... it looks like the stereotypical French dark blue and white shirt... I need a baguette and beret. So anyway, didn't go to work (well, I did and talked to my supervisor who recommended that I go home) and came home and slept until about 7:30. Then my dad and I watched Jeopardy and made fun of a really geeky contestant.
I knew the answer to the Final Jeopardy question.
I've been having weird epiphanies all week. After graduation, there are a lot of people (ie: relations of mine) that I will never see again. The fun part: I'm completely apathetic about the whole thing. I don't really care that I'll never see a lot of these friends ever again. Some of them I don't even want to ever see again. I feel like I should be sad, but I'm not.
Repitition leads to insanity, don't you see?
New trimester with new classes! WOO! Nothing like a clean start to begin the final stretch of high school. Ah, I can see the finish line on the horizon. I'm only 3 pages into our new novel, but I already love the author's writing style.
There's WASL this week so juniors and seniors get late arrival! And I start my B-day classes tomorrow. Starbucks with Hannako is in order.
I tend to associate music with what time of the year I really listened to it... so I'm making iTunes playlists organizing Summer, Spring, Winter, and Autumn music by year. Some of them I can't really remember, but that's okay. General time frame... and Winter of 2006 faded into Winter of 2007. All I can say is that it'd better get warmer soon. Sakura Con is gonna be good.
It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small and popsicles in the summer
I'm scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared.
I want to go shopping on the Ave. Bookstores!!
Aurelie is an incredible person ♥
Good-nite.
If I had to use one word to summarize my life during February, it would be "draining." I feel dead all the time. I took a nap and woke up around 9:45 PM so I'm wide awake right now. Oof. I submitted what will be hopefully my last vacation request, because I bought my ticket to Japan! June 20th to July 13th. I'm so excited. I need to brush up on everything. Tonight I wrote a very eloquent message to Tuti but then when I tried to send it, it asked me to log in. Darn. Let's see, what else has been going on...
Oh! Passport application is in. I really want to buy this Advent Children figure of Cloud. He's so pretty.
New Bleach soundtrack is EXCELLENT. Hooray for Dark Side of the Bleeding Moon! SO glad to have Thor's Hammer back.
Sakura Con is mostly planned out... now I need to think about cosplay. Ack.
I know a lot more has happened than this in the past week, but I would like to remain an enigma and keep things to myself... mohohoho~
Well tomorrow's payday and I have hardly spent any money since my last paycheck, so I'm pretty content with myself... although this next one is dedicated to fees and bills. OH WELL!
I did do some ebay snooping this evening. Eva and I are going to Prom as 1920s flappers. I'm veeerrrrryyyy excited for that. However, I will not be dressed as a gypsy. Those are just weird and no one likes them. NO ONE. I bought that one DL3 doujinshi... I just have to wait for the transaction to complete... nnnnn
Well. That. Thathathathtahthfragfdklj;ajdkfgl;;lgkkkkkkkk;;;;;;; Scary. Whew. Time to move forward.
I didn't want to see people in large in quantities today, so no school. But afterwards, Erick brought me lots of fried rice and we played DS. Someone still owes me a book reading. Then Casey came over for WII and we put the rest of the rice in one giant bowl and put it in the middle of the floor and ate out of it using forks. It was a good way to spend the day... and we just finished watching American Idol. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. Humanities test. Ugh. That beast is going to OWN me.
Psapp's album, "Tiger, My Friend" is my favorite album right now. Gah. Love it.
I need to buy Alden's Sakura Con ticket.
Goooodniiiiight.
I'm so mad. Tomorrow is finally a day off from school AND work, and I can't even have my own plans. I can't wait until I move out... I won't have to deal with someone doign all my scheduling for me. I'll the hanging out I do is spur of the moment things at night when I get off work... and I miss a lot of gatherings/excursions because I work during the day. So when I DO have a day off when I also do not have school, it'd be really neat to just do ALL THINGS I CAN'T NORMALLY DO BECAUSE I'M FREAKING BUSY ALL THE TIME.
I don't like being tired and upset all the time. I've been getting a lot more sleep lately, though. My mom let me sleep in today.
Alright I'm just really mad right now, so I'm not going to type anything else.
My latest obsession? TAN/PEACH MULTIPLY LAYERS. IT ADDS CONTRAST AND THEREFORE MAKES THINGS BETTER. I feel like if I sit down I'll get sick, so I'm updating via my knees. adjklslkfjdajlklfl;a;;adlfkas;; This morning I woke up 8:45 AM without the assistance of an alarm device (and I uaually get up BARELY around 10:30 WITH an alarm of sorts) and it was astounding. So do you know what that means? I'm finally getting some rest! WOO!
No school OR work on Monday. I will enjoy it to the maxxxtreme. It was really nice out today, but then turned all grey and icky.
I watched Princess Mononoke and enjoyed it... and it's true, it's pretty violent compared to the other Studio Ghibli films. Heads and arms flying off EVERYWHERE. The animation was pretty state of the art for it being only 1997 (wow... that was already a decade ago...). The music was going, but didn't enchant me like the music for Howl's, Spirited Away, or The Cat Returns did... but I'm still going to try and find it!
My plans? Root beer, reading, sleep.
I need my passport/visa.
I balanced my checkbook (mostly!)
al;fjdaslj;fjldkl;;l
stay classy.
DEAR SITE THAT NO ONE CHECKS,

Well, good things and bad things going down... all I can say is that I want out of my house. I seriously DO NOT want to be here...
I'm hoping someone will take me out for picnics and adventures.
Two sonnets? Preposterous!
Today I finally bought a DS Lite. A lot of people have offered to lend me games, because I probably won't buy any for a while. Awww... best friends ever. 4 SRS. They're so supportive. I love them.
I want to see my brother.
I spent today downloading and uploading music. I was so happy to help a friend out.
On the other hand, I hate it when people act differently in person than they do on the internet. Or just flat out ignore me online but hug me and stuff in person. It's so weird. And the same goes for the other way around. PAHF.
Hah, and I made this for my favorite LJ comm. the other day... inspired by Ladytron 
Here's to tomorrow...
From far away it looks like I have down syndrome... Corbin took this shot of him thrusting a spoonful of Wendy's frosty in my face... moments after he wiped it on said face.
I've been having a weird past few days (including today) but then at dinner I got to talk with my parents about everything and all the stuff that's been on my mind and it really soothed my nerves. They gave me official consent for my Japan trip. I am so excited. It redeems all the crummy days I have... and my parents said they'll pay for my flight! So now I am less reluctant to buy a DS Lite.
Payday soon... I need to submit all my vacation requests, buy birthday presents for my mom and brother, and organize the excursion Lacey and I are making to Seattle. WOOO! So I'm ready for the week... except my stupid photo assignment that I LEARN NOTHING FROM. { bitter }
I've read all the right books
to interpret your looks
you were knocking me down
with the palm of your eye
R.I.P. Nicholas D. Wolfwood ♥
I forgot about Battle Royale for a while. I still need to watch it... and give it back to Annie. Sigh. I slept so well last night, because I was home late due to movie viewing with Skyler. I also attended a Potato Soup Party at Eva's house which was Eva, Jacob, and Andrew... until I got there. Then we watched the final episodes of FLCL (it made Andrew and Jacob terribly confused) and Skyler joined us near the end of that. Then we sat around and Skyler and I departed to go see Babel.
Happy 21st Birthday, Andrew!
Babel was INCREDIBLE. There were so many plots going on at once that were all entwined together... and were sometimes going on at different times. And because of that, a lot of foreshadowing happened if you are perceptive like me and you pay close attention to minor details and things in the background see: easily distracted. Ah. I want to see it again. Anyway, it has my high recommendation.
I've been humming Dianne Reeves to myself all week so it feels good to finally listen to it. Canflammed it, I need to get my iPod fixed! I have... things.
I keep forgetting about the newspapers... but I'm doing them tomorrow and then Sunday is the main recycling day... I'm such an idiot. I thought yesterday was special, for some reason. Hah. Mooooowahahahahaha. The long walk was nice.
Today I read girly manga... I'm an idiot! I don't like girly manga, son! Hardly anyatallnowthatyoumentionit... I just heard that NANA was good so I read afewvolumesofit... so that and life is mundane. I think I need to meet new people. That and sit-ups. I'M GOING TO BED ON TIME, TONIGHT. Tired. There's always tomorrow to look forward to... psych. I'm worried about the Humanities test, I know I could have done much better on the essay question. Fraggles.
1 Missed Call
Feb 1
6:49 pm
It is now 9:12 pm. Why don't I do something?! I'm an idiotidiotidiot.
So much nostalgia from October... what a good month...
Closing the doors,
and I am running
Past video stores,
and you are driving
A barrier stands,
between your hands and me,
Sorry
You have got to be the last one standing
Ahh~ Ahh~
GUESS WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE STUDYING THE RESTORATIONNNN?! MEEEEEEEEE. Good thing tomorrow is a B day... then I can take more notes before I am quizzed on a topic I know NOTHING about. Ehk. I'm glad the busy weekend is over. I managed to make it to Demetri's gathering with Eva, so that was good. I love randomly bumping into MLE 4D, especially on ferries.
My supervisor called to see if I wanted to work some extra hours tomorrow and I said YES. I was kind of looking forward to taking a nice nap after school, but it's fine with me. I'm glad to have an opportunity to make up that one day I was sick... or do I get paid-sick hours? I SHALL FIND OUT. Today I found a children's book titled, ALL ABOUT SCABS by a Japanese author. It's so fun. Dan wanted to take it but I said NO because he hates me (but not really) because I told him I don't like Ween. Mahaha. I also found a nonfiction piece in the crime/mafia section (DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM: 360s!!!) by the author of Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami. So I took that. And then when I was doing the newspapers I walked by the stacks of DVDs (the stack is now gone! HOORAY!) and spotted vol1 of Fruits Basket so got that because I never watched the show.
It has very good morals. Nod nod.
BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH GOALS!!:
- buy Alden's birthday present
- Sakura Con ticket
- FIND OUT WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING OUT OF MY IMMEDIATE GROUP OF FRIENDS. UGH.
- clean room
- start a Revolution
- finish FLCL with Eva
- write something
- tell people what for
What a handsome looking list, might I say. Well, I'd like to be able to sleep tonight so I shall be turning in for the evening (I never mention what hour I am writing during... hm) and maybe figuring out what to wear tomorrow. I am such a girl. GOOD-NITE.
I really like Truman Capote's work. A lot a lot a lot a lot. I don't want to give books back to the library noooooo read read read. I need to work on P&P... ack. It's an okay novel, I'd just rather be reading something else right now. Chute I just realized that it's the 25th and not the 24th... NOW I NEED TO GO BACK AND FIX MY TIMESHEET. ARGH.
I think my two absolute favorite piano pieces are... "Clair de Lune" by Debussy and "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven. I wish I could play one of those on piano. Well, I wish I could play anything on piano besides choptsicks (hah, only the first part...) and In The Jungle. Hrrm.
On another note, I feel absolutely honored to have Robyn painting a picture of me from that one hoodlum shoot. And the other day she told me it's one of the best things she's ever endeavored so that made me feel really happy... and then Tommy Wargo got my attention today as I was going by in the halls to tell me that "he hardly knows me but thinks I'm amazing." And something to do with how he sees pictures of me that people take and now pastel/paintings and I am some sort of art inspirtation thing. I forgot the wording, but I felt neat. I worried people because I was so quiet today... nnnnn...
Hopefully going to see Demetri with Eva tomorrow! I've never been to Ursa Minor... and hooray for halfdays. I can just go back to bed and sleep for hours... I love Psapp... gah! HOMEWORK!
So so so so my first tax returns thing! EVER! Hah. I only get about... $20 back, but that's about the price of a DVD... I shall continue the legacy of buying Fullmetal! And I guess I should save for SC... and maybe a DS Lite? NEW iPOD?! Hopefully mine just needs a new battery... ehk. Speaking of SC, I don't know who's on board anymore. SR SLY. And then some people are joining in so... jlkaf;jsddfaglhklsadgfj;
I finally got smoothies with Eva. Hopefully there shall be more galavanting on Friday. SOUNDS GOOD. LOOKS GOOD TOO
Tomorrow is going to be incredible photo time with Miss Casey Smith. And I might ask someone to Tolo. You never know. I also might conquer a few poverish nations... in a non-angry way. Feed them blueberries! BLUEBERRIES!
I hate my sinus cavity. The face one. Right between my eyes. PAIN. And some jerk is riding one of those loud, motorized scooter things around my neighborhood and I find it most disagreeable.
The talent show was amazing. I never realized how many gifted friends I have. You guys are incredible ♥
Finally finished watching TobePani. I uploaded a segment of it, when they're singing Happy Birthday... so click a source to get the download started.
I think that's it... and I hope my iPod is getting fixed. Alden has it so he can take it to the Mac place. Godspeed...
So finally made a Seattle excursion. Forgot my hot hands... so it was freezing. Speaking of freezing, I woke up around 6:30 this morning thinking, "yeah! School will actually happen today! ... Wait, I hear someone on the phone. Why is someone on the phone?" *peeks out window* "OH. It's snowing again..." Apparently, it had been snowing since 4 AM and school was cancelled AGAIN. GUH.
The sad part is, I actually had plans today. Amy's plans got shanghai-ed.
American Idol is featuring Seattle tomorrow night. The judges informed viewers that it "was the worst city ever" by means of musical talent. RADDD. Tomorrow is what I'd like to call the "hoodlum shoot" with Robyn. Someone posted amazing scans, today. I was really impressed with the photographic composition and how cute everyone was. Good angles and lighting.
Good riddance, six-day weekend... but there is a two-hour delay tomorrow morning...
Lots of snow. School was cancelled when I was on my way there. Did lots of sleeping... I even did some reading! Can you believe it? All those stacks of books piling up in my room...
Guess I'll study tomorrow and try to finish the shipment at work... and make plans for Monday... I did get to hang out with David, Jonathan, and Veronica tonight, though.
I'm bad at comforting people and I wish I wasn't. This year is awful.
CHUTE.
Woooooooo got 6 inches of snow. It snowed for maybe four hours solid and is now tapering off but some flakes are still coming down. It is FREEZING outside. So I scooped up snow with a cup ( the stuff on top ) and put raspberry syrup over it and made snowcones. And I cooked potstickers right in time for my mom to come home. Today I felt like a great child. School had better be cancelled tomorrow, with this great multitude of weather.
Well in addition, I fought an AIM bot today.
Most definitely an AIM bot.
Missed school today. I had one of those 24-hour stomach ailments. The guy that invented CUP NOODLE died either today or sometime recently. I was missed at school, so that cheered me up a little bit.
Aurelie's having an awesome time in Japan and saw the Air Gear musical! She told me that she got me one of KENN's photosets from it and I am ECSTATIC. I am sooooooo happy about that ♥ It. Seriously. I can't believe it. Yay.
I now have Shannon's address so I now can send her happy things in the mail. I'm excited. So this week... make-up my humanities assignment ( well, finish ) and then my two-month performance review. I'm sort of nervous for that, but I think I'll do fine.
Guh, stupid iPod is still broken. How am I supposed to listen to Ewan McGregor now?! I think my old CD player is broken, too... my parents say it doesn't work m(_ _)m Nooooooooo
I feel like (; A ;)
Well 2007 is off to an awesomely wretched start. Whoever said that ignorance is bliss WAS RIGHT. I'd be disappointed in a lower number of people right now... but now I know who I can trust and who I cannot. Seeing a little kid have a seizure at work made me sad... but the other night I went out for bubble tea with Annie and that was MARVELOUS. Ughh, my iPod is malfunctioning in multiple ways and the Mac site isn't helping and I don't want to spend my Japan funds to get it fixed.
GUHH
Speaking of which, Japan funding is doing very well :D But I want to buy a DS Lite and go clothes shopping sooooo baddddd... so right now I'm doing some snooping around on some of my favorite online places (GaragesaleJapan sites). I found a really cheap, black blazer (Volcom, though. Ick.) but someone had just made an offer to trade. The owner hasn't responded yet but hopefully doesn't want to trade (in earlier comments mentioned that she was selling because she needed money) and I did post another comment right below saying I am willing to pay via check or Paypal (if we can get the blasted thing to WORK). Soooo when she checks her email, she will see one offering a trade and another offering money.
TAKE THE MONEY!!!
I haven't actually bought anything yet... m(_ _)m besides food items or paying someone else for gas money... I want to put my earnings to use, canflammed it!
No homework. I ruined some really good negs today... and that was cool so I'm going to reshoot tomorrow.
Robyn is seriously the best model at our school. Hands down. And she agrees with me that Matsuyama Kenichi is attractive ♥
Hah. Half of the staff didn't know that today was an A day... especially since they stressed the whole "IF WE MISS A DAY YOU DON'T SKIP THAT DAY. IT IS THAT DAY WHEN YOU RETURN TO SCHOOL" concept to the maximum capacity. Way to go, invisible principal that I've heard from multiple people is a JERK. So tomorrow is the B day and will be good because I love TAing and my humanities class is legit.
I need to turn in papers to the office... and pay something... and bring that book for Spar to look at... and find Erick to give him a shirt and the CDs I burned the play "Switch wo Osu Toki" onto.
I will have video of my very bored 2nd period photo class ( photo tech kids + commerical A kids ) soon via Casey and her awesome camera. Also us being stupid in one of the dark rooms ( film rolling ). Radical. I look forward to that.
Well I just finished downloading a video of Katou singing so I shall be leaving you to watch that. Mnuh.
Amy's first paycheck EVER came today. HAPPY.
Something kind of weird... someone with my dad's name died and so we've gotten a couple of phone calls from concerned people. Of course, the record was set straight. For a moment I was worried that it was my friend's father, but it wasn't. It's still not a very happy scenario, but I'm relieved.
I finally got all of Come on feel the ILLINOISE.
Soon, Lacey's house for AP studying I'M NOT IN AP CLASSES! >_< And then New Year's with Ashley! HURRAH!
OH GREAT I'm doing it again. I must now mentally punch myself.
pummel pummel pummel pummel pummel pummel pummel
I'll just wait for June to arrive. It's like they say, "OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND." It's going to be a loooong second trimester. It always takes the longest. Maybe if I just ignore everyone until graduation day... nah, too many flaws in that plot. And I need to stop skipping volumes of Hot Gimmick. I'm just impatient, I guess... mustgetthatlookedat.
I felt dizzy all day today. I'm glad it is my day off... but I am ready to work again tomorrow! And I took a razor to my head because I think my hair grows faster on one side than the other.
In other news, I got invited to an AP study party... I am not in AP classes, BUT I AM LOVED! I'm also keeping the tradition of going to Ashley's for New Year's Eve. Emily will be joining us so it's going to be splendid. We're compiling a list of gooooood music. The list will be posted eventually... with the possibility of uploaded tracks. Aren't you excited? yesyesyesyouARE! And Casey and I will be making an excursion to Seattle to visit Uwajimaya...
... SOMEHOW...
... and hopefully Urban Outfitters
Merry Boxing Day!
The Death Note soundtrack ( for the show, not the movie ) is ASTOUNDING. I recommend it to everyone.
I think I want to SLEEP.
Conversations are pleasant. Especially when the other party is LISTENING. WOOOO! LISTENING! I don't want to be up late again. I'm waiting for music to finish downloading. Ehkkk. Hurry! Hurry! I'm so boring. But I do need to sleep, soon. Otherwise...
I could not think of ANYTHING crankier-looking than him. Oh well.
Good-nite.
Well chute, son. I didn't want it to happen, but I'm posting again in the twelve o'clock AM hour. But at least it's not 1 AM! And I promise I won't sleep in until 1 PM again. That was bad... but I had taken Excedrin PM due to a headache.
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Got a daughter who'll eat anything
we like to feed her
words
words
words
Aaaaaaaah definitely NONE of my letters are going to make it in time. Drat. I'm not even finished. THEY CAN BE NEW YEARS' CARDS!!! ( makes an excuse for her own procrastination )
Tonight is supposed to be the second storm. Marvelous. At work, we're starting to consider having two people do the shipment at once because it gets done way fast... but that would mean... waking up Saturday mornings... nooooo, my only day to sleep in... speaking of sleep, no work until 3:15 tomorrow! I was going to tennis with Eva, but I think we'll get bubble tea instead. Sounds more delicious than tennis.
Speaking of tennis, I skimmed over the first half of the new ( well, newest to DVD... Rikkai!Myu just started overseas ) Tenimyu. The cast is... okay. I'm sure they'll grow on me like moss on STEROIDS. The Oishi is good. Cute cute cute cute cute. The Spanish-themed songs I could do without. The puns are, of course, INTENTIONAL. PAIN! Oh the pain pain pain...
Oh but the rain rain rain...
... sounds "contemptuously pleasant" on my rooftop.
I need to stop staying up so late... but I'm having a very pleasant conversation... a few, in fact. Who wants to ruin that? My room is covered in craft supplies. I haven't showered in 48 hours. I need to go take that shower and then wake up 6 hours later and work the rest of the week.
And play tennis.
I didn't even do laundry today. I barely made any dents into my Christmas Mailing Project... and I still need that one address translated... drat. Oh and it took me 45 minutes to get this site to run, so be grateful for this measley post. THAT'S RIGHT. APPRECIATE!!
Gloom...
Those ads are really just pushing my buttons...
In recent news, Washington is in a tumultuous tempest ( COLLEGE WORDS! ). We lost power briefly. We are fortunate. Is this what we call the Oath in the Storm?
The Seattle Symphony and Hannako are awesome. And Excedrin PM if you have headaches.
Karlee Ridens makes me smile. I wasn't aware that she lives in "Egypt."
Join me, brethren, and take heart! We are taking part in the... the, um... I really don't know where I was going with that. It's past 1 AM I DON'T NEED TO MAKE SENSE.
END TRANSMISSION.
I love TAing for adv. photo. Swell group of kids. I made new fixer for them! YAY! Someone during beginning must have poured it all out. Hm. Not so cool.
I actually added a NEW LINK YAY!
I am a psychic and I know EXACTLY what Tuti was thinking in that shot. I wonder if he went to see Switch? I finally downloaded that. Heard it was a good play.
It's Fiesta Wednesday. Time to watch FLCL and THE CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALA.
Wait, is Hughes alive?
WHAT?
Using one of the icons I will post eventually. I have not made an icon post in aaaaagggggeeeeessss. I've been doing a lot of stuff with the old cast, but I have some new stuff to use for the second cast... and I need to make more of those banners. And other things of that nature. Hn. GRAFYX GALORE.
First tri started. I'm pumped. My classes are going to be quite good... except... how on earth can a junior get into a SENIORS ONLY class? I'd honestly like to know. That bothers me quite a bitttt. But for the most part, I am satisfied with my teachers and fortunate that my schedule jumble went fine. I was worried about that.
I screwed up my timesheet ( I think... ) and my supervisor called to try and fix it. I wish I could add. Stupid cell phone calculators! And I was in a rush... mn.
Geez I'm cranky all the time...
Hi. My soul belongs to whoever made this icon. Possibly.
Oh, how I really need sleep. Tons. Work tomorrow again.
Shipment.
Books.
You toffee-paged books, you. Oh, so what am I doing? Avoiding the inevitable. Rest. Oh, how I need it.
Did *pnish* do some audio drama thing? I'm flummoxed. If my old entries were here, you'd see how much I appreciate *pnish*... speaking of which, FL for Sano Daiki ( the inSANE one ) is up and good to go.
I updated the webcomic... because I just made myself coffee. Tonight I need to finish my UW application and then study for the Common Assessment. Haha, if it snows anymore ( and it's supposed to ) a lot of finals are cancelled. The Rosetta Stone is an AMAZING program. I win at Japanese so far. It makes disappointed noises when you lose, though.
I aaaaaam a creeeeepsterrrrrrr 
It has been decided:
Dana Carvey is cute.
That is all.
Good evening and an early Happy Thanksgiving! I finally made my own background image for the site and it features shots from the Beaten Housewives Shoot! I will miss the image made by Min-san, but I don't want to use the art of doujin authors. It makes them sad if they see it. Today I found a site that represents all doujin-ka on the internet and had this essay basically ( and in very clear, articulate English ) on how even if you credit the author, using their work is still stealing. And how saying that the "author is unknown" and stuff is a jerk thing to do. Knowing how it feels to be plagiarized ( cough cough cough ), I decided to create a background using the images I have made.
On another note, I scribbled a picture of myself using the tablet:
Well I might get to play the Wii tonight if Skyler can make it over... and Alden will be coming home sometime soon! His Mac exploded and he has to pay a TON to get it fixed. Troublesome.
Goodnight.
In a period of seven days, I worked six of them... but I feel SWELL. GEE I THINK YOU'RE SWELLENOR, ELEANOR.
Gyaydusard56s I've got another week ahead of me... and another WA State history project... but it's not very hard. I got a 95% on my other last minute procrastination one. Maha. Let's see... I need to update my iPod, move my things back into my room, and then go to sleep. Sounds goooooooood.
Gackt: One of the sexiest men aLIVE ♥ The pictures of him from when he was doing all that music for DIRGE OF CERBERUS made him look like he was a rejected character idea from The Matrix. His hair is still pretty long, but at least he doesn't look like he's trying to be black anymore.
IMPROVEMENT!! AH BUT I NEED TO SHOWER AND SLEEP KTHXBAI.
So busy it's not even funny. I am being crushed under the stifling weight of a Washington State History project... two, in fact. And I just finished a very good essay.
There's nothing like coming home and having your hands covered in the powder of burnt fake silver, casting materials, photographic chemicals, and various bacteria from handling books at the library. And I filed some of the skin off of my knuckles. BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE I'M MAKING A RING. Ugh. Business.
Today I received quite possibly the best text messages ever:
How much love can a text hold?!
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3 <3 <3 <3
<3
and then:
So I just heard "Thank You My Twilight" and I was like OMG PILLOWS then I was like OMG AMYLEET then I was like omg nostalgia... I miss you girly!
Despite the stress and fatigue nipping at my heels, I feel pretty dandy :D
Ha. I didn't update due to a wave of ANGER. Well, all things are fine and well in the world of Amy.
... except for my tailbone. Why is it doing this?! It freaking frightens me to death. On a tangent, I got some more Tenimyu scans from the first cast that I had never seen before! too bad the file size was abot 8 MB each m(_ _)m sadsadsad. OH! BUT THE FIRST CAST HAD A FREAKING REUNION PARTY!!! ISN'T THAT JUST PRECIOUS?! All the pictures taken at the event ( drunk shots on cell phones ) are beginning to surface on the blogs. It made me so happy. Ohhhh November 6th ♥
Job training is going well! I got to do some book check-ins! It was actually kind of fun! I am quite excited to be a member of the Kitsap Regional Library.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want to marry this man:
And I am creepy.
Sore dake da THAT IS ALL.
PS: Added a new fanlisting: Washio Noboru! A member of *pnish*. I actually got 4th on that list, the first time I've ever been one of the first to join something. Be sure to check it out.
Today I woke up to a cold, empty house shrouded in fog. I decided to continue on this mood by listening to Azure Ray all morning. HOORAY!
Chelsea and Eva are coming over today... we're gonna Bond and haircut! I'm so excited and happy! Well... that's all I really had to say...
Ughhh, 5-day-old yakisoba...
I think I am in one of those bursts where after neglecting my website for a very long time, I start to update at a more frequent pace. This week needs to end. I need to see Ms. Chelsea. I need to go to Eva's gathering. I need to link back to that site...
... I'll add that soon enough.
And seriously, why won't Japanese characters work on here?
I have things to develop...
...
... including my feelings for you.
AHAHAHA. I need to buy HOW TO READ VOLUME 13. That totally figures that it ends with that number... "13." Forever deemed as unlucky. Tsk.
I am going to go draw pictures. Fa la la la la~
Well, I have quite a bit to say.
I turned 18 this month! Ten days ago! And on that very night, I met some pretty rad friends of Eva. Good people. Aaaand during Ladytron's opening band, CSS, Ben Gibbard came out of nowhere and sang a little and danced. And then the girl pointed the mic at me and I sang. So. I got to sing in the same microphone as Ben Gibbard.
Sufjan Stevens was just mind-blowing. The shirt for sale was a little disappointing, but I bought the album of the almost-as-incredible-as-Sufjan My Brightest Diamond. Agh. GLORIOUS.
School is going well, and I'd say that this month's theme is continuing on strong and will hopefully pass on to next month... oh, and Emily made these:
Oh, and I got a job at the library. SWEET, SWEET INCOME!
That is all.
I wish my old entries were here... because I wrote a lot last October. Speaking of October, this month's theme is PROGRESS and if I will MAKE ANY with YOU KNOW WHAT.
Perhaps you don't know.
All the better.
The only chocolate in our house is in the form of frost-bitten ice cream. I may actually be desperate enough to eat it. How pathetic, ne...
I should stop being so retarded all the time and just accept the fact that I suck and I am doomed to lead the accidental celibate life. DANGIT. Iunno. Rough times, I guess. But I do bring this upon myself. Tra la la la laaaaaa. I talked to Zak today.
Something to be joyous about: I am probably going to go see Sufjan Stevens by a random stroke of luck. A sad scenario, but I'm still kinda excited.
New fanlisting posted.
Really. Did I really think I was happy? I should stop setting myself up for disappointment. It seems like it is the day after every breakthrough
every time I feel closer to the answer
I am back to square one.
I think... I think I am going to end this. I'll find a way and I'll get an answer and I'll be satisfied with that answer... because an answer is better than being left in the dark. Nn. I wish Freewebs would let me write in Japanese... I just figured out how thanks to Annie recently. Rad. And then there's this:
I worked on Gomoto Naoya's letter today. I hope to finally mail that and his CD soon... and to write Eva back... well, I wrote it, I just need to draw fun all over it.
Haha, used that one base of Adachin again to make another icon. Had a swell chat with Erick ( although MSN was acting up again ) and made a graphic of Kenken due to hooray :D SUPERHAPPYGOOOOOOO
KENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKENKEN
Two weeks without an update. i rulz.
And I guess this doesn't really count, either. I just wanted to show of the flailing Tuti icon I made using caps from SAYONARA no LOVE SONG. Super good musical about... I'm not entirely sure. If I wasn't so darn tired I might write about it right now. Hah. But that's not happening.
Tomorrow is the last day of Summer, but it's okay because I already broke up with it. I told it that we should see other Seasons; and I've got my eye on Autumn. YES.
Visited Alden's apartment today and finished one roll of film + 31 on another roll just of stop and blur pictures out my car window on Fremont in Seattle. Nice area. Then I found yet another unshot roll of film in my room. Chrysler.
laying low in a tropical hideout
if anyone finds out
I'll turn their lights out
I want Adachin's hat. Why is it so much cooler than me?! Ugh. socute.
TONIGHT IS APPLES!
deucebabydeuce has been updated! CLICK --> 
School starts soon.
I made this. Neat. L is neat. I got to see Some By Sea's last performance. It was overwhelming for the audience and band members. Glorious.
Ladytron is playing on my birthday, two months from now ( OMG FRIDAY THE 13th OF OCTOBER ) and I AM GOING.
Today I saw a picture involving maggots and it ruined my life. I mean it. I keep thinking about it and... UGH. Then I'll forget for a while and then remember again.
Truly painful. m(_ _)m
I need to sleep.
Oh Iron & Wine I am convinced that if you had done the soundtrack for Trigun, it would have enhanced the show immensely... although I do like Trigun as it is right now, too. I've been reading too much Fruits Basket. Maybe I'll go read some more.
I read the best quote from my hero last night:
"The snow doesn't give a soft white damn about who it touches." --E.E. Cummings
GLORIOUS.
Ah! The first episode of PuriPuri ( Princess Princess D ) was just released with subtitles. I got a lot of my questions answered with the translation... but very glad to see that a lot of my conjectures were proven to be correct.
SATISFYING.
Minna-san, konbanwa. Ogenki desu ka? Genki desu. I caught up to the most recent chapter of Bleach and started reading Fruits Basket. Between readings while the files were downloading, I busied myself with Photoshop.
The result: THIS. 
Otanoshimi kudasai.
I got the images to work on LJ. Hoorah. I used 95x95 pixels.
I updated deucebabydeuce with a lot of stuff. 
I ranted on LJ today, because I have had about enough annoying, immature kids. A++.
I should probably get dressed... Eva and I plan to hangout this evening. I want James Bond and Mountain Dew slushies.
I HAVE GOOD PHOTOShOP NOW WOOOOOOOO!
BUT CRAAAAAAAAP, I can't use them as LJ avatars... it says the file size is too large? It's 98x98 pixels, but it says it's over 100x100 pixels. YOU LIE, LIVEJOURNAL. And I used .jpgs instead of .pngs to make the file smaller, but even so... UGH I'M MAD IT DOESN'T WORK. Oh well, I'll look into that later.
Right now I need to cook me some dinnnnnnnar.
OMGREEK.
It's true! I updated the WEBCOMIC! AND EXCHANGED DIGITS WITH LISA OMGOMG.
Today Tackey ( Takigawa Eiji/TakiEiji ) wrote in his blog in English about how everyone's comments encourage him to work hard, et cetera. In the Japanese segment of it, he mentioned how he really enjoyed comments from foreign countries ( I noticed that on the J-Blogs... a lot of comments are from Indonesia ). He also mentioned that it helped to have the foreign comments be in either Chinese or English because those are easier to translate.
The other night, well, last night, I made a Myspace picture for Jon Pulk. I'm rather proud of it, so I shall display it here. 
It's not very often that I create things like that. I tend to stick to the 100x100 deal.
Speaking of which, I have developed a new l0v for coloring B&W icons... so basically, manga bases. Quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite nifty.
Well, I've been making icons of myself and I finished some of the Asians. My most recent project is to work on coloring B&W things like manga... so Death Note has been my muse. The movie looks absolutely amazing. I bought the movie guide... Ishida Akira (Gaara, Mizuki Hajime: generally evil/sadistic roles) will be voicing YAGAMI LIGHT in the Death Note anime being released in Japan this fall. I must admit, I am excited.
YOU ARE NOT A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE, YOU ARE THE SAME DECAYING, ORGANIC MATTER AS EVERYONE ELSE.Tally ho.
Well a hearty PARQUE ESPANIA to all of you!
I haven't been updating much due to my lack of motivation and end of the school year business... so I will sum up for you the things I have done in the past 11 days:
Tonight, I am going to the drive-in with a good squadron of chums. Now I need to call mi madre and inform her of this.
My, my what a mess. Nothing that a little Bleach and a cup of tea cannot fix...Right now, in Japan, it is the 17th of June... meaning... Kime's Birthday!! 
There's one beacon of happiness in my day...
And Wednesday night, emergency F2F meeting and then Mountain Dew slushies then Mario Party 'til the early hours then go to the last day of school with MONICA?? YESS! I have something to look forward to. But other than that...
OH NEAT all of my old entries just got deleted. That's just perfect. Thanks, life. Thanks so bloody much.
I guess I needed a fresh start anyways...
