新テニスの王子様!?!

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:28:39 GMT

So while I'm sure the rest of the world knew about this, I'm not always on top of what the world knows. And a NEW TENNIS NO OUJISAMA series would've been nice to know about...

So, I read the chapter. It was cracky (as per usual) and they're still in middle school. Is it sad I got flutters in my stomach from reading it (especially at the end)? Ahhh nostalgia...

...Still need to watch 1 Litre of Tears ~~and everything else in the world~~ but I did watch Taken with my family. I offer advice, don't watch Taken with your family. Paranoia just sets in and... yea. Don't do it.

More Randomness~!

So my roommate and I have been listening to old songs from our youth. I pick one and then she picked one and we just continued in this pattern. While I've been giddy, I've also been equally feeling old... But here's the list!

"Say My Name" - Destiny's Child
"Kryptonite" - 3 Doors Down
"Be With You" - Enrique Iglesias
"Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" - 98 Degrees
"Scrubs" - TLC
"All or Nothing" - O-Town
"Everywhere" - Michelle Branch
"A Thousand Miles" - Vanessa Carlton
"Bring Me to Life" - Evanescence
"Perfect Day" - Hoku
"Come On Over" - Christina Aguilera
"I Hope You Dance" - Lee Ann Womack
"Crazy For This Girl" - Evan and Jaron
"Mmmbop" - Hanson
"It Happens Everytime" - Dream Street
"Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" - Backstreet Boys
"Dream Come True" - S Club 7

Not in any particular order & my roommate and I both totally picked 98 Degrees at the same time. Freaky. So anyone remember listening to these in their youth?

...Off to do research paper proposal worth 20% of my grade /o/

Back to College

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:39:02 GMT

My room... is so freaking huge XD I'm in love. I have a roommate I like, two windows in my room, lots of floor space and internet access from both my desk and my bed. The world is magical again! (Except the bathroom. They're not as nice looking.) Just missing the nice TV. Couldn't fit it in the car so I'm bringing that later~

OH! Story time! Happy, the puppy, is the youngest family member. So naturally, he came as well to drop me off at college. However, in the midst of unpacking, there was no jingling of a collar. My room is huge... but not that huge. Looked under beds, in the closet, nooks and crannies galore, no puppy. At this point, I'm about to hyperventilate (or I actually am hyperventilating. Sometimes it's hard to tell) Someone walks by, asking if i were looking for a dog (which I was) and claimed to have seen him not too long ago. And then people on an upper floor were like "are you looking for a dog?" and THERE was my mischievous little puppy. They apparently left a really "interesting" voicemail message on our home phone. So puppy was found!

In other news, I'm not looking forward to the actual classes >>;; Organic chemistry, Physics, Physics Lab, Honors Colloquium, Statistics for Psychology, Intermediate Japanese (the only exception), & Science Medicine and Society writing class. 20 credits. Wish me luck 8D;;

May retire soon. Exhausted from the packing and the unpacking.

Equus in NYC!!

Dragonball (2009)

Yea... that's a link to the imdb page for the Dragonball live action movie produced in the United States. I can't help but feel that there's a reason why the Japanese have not even made their own live action tv series (like with Sailor Moon ~~and I totally didn't watch half of the 50 episodes... nope~~)

What scares me the most about this though is the random group of actors and actresses. Emmy Rossum (Christine in The Phantom of the Opera) as Bulma? o.O And James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) as PICCOLO?!?!? I just... gah

So I'm scared... but I will probably end up watching this.

Daniel Radcliffe, Not Just Harry Potter Indeed...

Speaking of "Happy" 8D;; It's my puppy's 3rd month alive! Though he wasn't living with the family for most of his life thus far, here's to hoping that the rest of his life with us will be great :D (I'm probably going to do this every month for him too XD)

& last but not least

Happy Birthday pas_du_deux for tomorrow's January 30th ;D Happy 19th to you too~ ♥

Almost There...

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:21:14 GMT

One more week and first semester is OVER!!! *rejoices*
As much as I love some of the people here, I'm missing the interaction I get with my family at home sooo much D: I hope that I'm sick of them by the time I have to go to college again.

Not much has been happening with me recently. I hear of the continual fencing drama back at hs ~~though I'm not entirely up to date~~, I'm becoming a complete and total recluse ~~but that's expected given my love of my laptop~~ and um... yea. I have yet to go Christmas shopping and chances are there will be many a late Christmas gifts... ~~must plan this better next yearrrr~~

I need to be cured of lethargy...

Harry Potter Hype

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:15:05 GMT

There's just something about this month that makes me twitch with anticipation for the new & final Harry Potter book. The added publicity with the movie and the stupid book company sending out the Harry Potter books early and whatnot are really taking a toll on my self restraint and sanity. It doesn't help that I reread both the 5th & 6th book last week, waiting slowly and impatiently for July 21st to roll around. Even then, I don't know if I will finish the entire novel before I have to do things on Saturday.

My game plan is as follows:
Friday July 20th
Go to work
Sleep @ Home
Go to B&N or Borders
Wait on really long line
Saturday July 21st
Get book
Read
Take Nap (?)
Go get meningitis shot
Work
Fangirl

Anyone else have a similar plan?

One more day...

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 17:04:38 GMT

Until my 18th birthday >D I'll be legal. I hear of kidnapping schemes with me as the kidnapee. Of course I don't know anymore details because like I said, I'm the kidnapee. This should prove to be an interesting birthday~

Travesty is too weak of a word

An end to the previous chapter...

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 03:11:14 GMT

So, this will be a pretty long entry. You have been warned.

Graduation was this past Friday. All in all, we were actually a very well behaved group. There were no beach balls bounced up like there were at my friend's graduation (where I went on Thursday) and certainly not enough air horns sounds either. Though we did have a kid in a chicken suit, feathers and all, run through the crowd as soon as graduation was over XD That was indeed amusing. Of course we don't just receive our diploma on stage; we have to walk up the hill, back into the building

Note to all: Graduation is extremely lucrative.

Came home. Played with relatives. Ran out for Project Graduation and felt really guilty about leaving a home full of people when they all came to see my graduation :D;; But alas, toilet bowl racing could not be procrastinated! Neither could the big obstacle course or the DDR XD They had this thing where they would photoshop your face onto an image, cartoon drawings of people, a pool, a hypnotist, DDR, toilet bowl racing, obstacle course, music video creating, massaging area and lots and lots of food 8D Except the catch is your locked in a building from 9:30 PM to 5:30 PM with your entire graduating class (at least the bit that shows up). So drove home exhausted and rolled into bed.

So there ends the tale of high school. Now, off to college. But before that, summer work. 40 hour work week... goodie.

REPRIEVE‼

It is roughly 5:00 AM in the morning and I have been doing nothing but downloading all of the Code Geass episodes. I have every episode, down to the n.5 episodes and the picture books. I... am now going to take a short nap before more CODE GEASS >D

Sleep Deprivation... Gone

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 14:40:30 GMT

Reading Old Xanga Entries...

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 01:30:44 GMT

There is nothing more amusing than reading your own writing back when you were younger, inexperienced and thought that "u", "luv", "wuz", "anywayz", excessive use of "like", "mai" and other were all very "kewl" things to say. The horror. But I did uncover something of interest :D

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. I’m not sure who the first person was that said that- probably Shakespeare or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it’s the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don’t think that I’m alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I get to realize it’s kind of everyone’s flaw. Staying exactly the same, for as long as possible, standing perfectly still. It feels better somehow; and if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected, who knows what other pain might be waiting out there? Chances are, it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo, choose the road already traveled and it doesn’t seem that bad- not as far as flaws go. You’re not a drug addict; you’re not killing anyone, except maybe your self a little. When we finally do change, I don’t think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion where all of a sudden we’re like this different person. I think it’s smaller than that. The kind of thing that most people wouldn’t even notice unless they look really really close, which thank god, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference, and you hope that it is, that this is the person you’ll get to be forever, that you’ll never have to change again."

Quote from Everwood, Ephram's flaw essay X3

I found this very "real life" back when I was in freshman year but I think that I appreciate this quote even more now. :3

Also, I wrote this entry back on October 21, 2004 and for the most part, the idea of friendship for me has not changed. So here:

Deep long rant straight ahead... this is your warning...

What is friendship? According to dictionary.com, it's "The quality or condition of being friends." ...that doesn't help... then what are friends? "A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts" I guess that's better...

To me, my friends are my life... If I were a flower with many elegant petals, each petal will wilt away with each friend I lost. Each lost friendship hurts... really hurts. It makes you wonder, was there anything I could do to prevent it? Did I really care for that person? Does my life seems any emptier than when that person was in my life? Instead -to put it really bluntly- people tend to go out and make new friends... but what makes friendship break apart?

A relationship with anyone -whether it be a boy/girl friend, friend or family- is a fragile thing. When i play the Sims 2, i feel like I'm in total control... but it takes FOREVER to get a Sim to be friends with another Sim... guess what? It's like that in reality too. Usually, you're closer friends with people you've known for a longer time than those you've known for less... usually. On the other hand, there are just some people who defy this process and just naturally bond as if they were Siamese twins... [exaggeration? you decide] but what could make a friendship break apart are different interests - sure opposites attract - but if you have absolutely no similar interests, what's there to talk about? its like an awkward silence will loom over you and that person... another possibility is when -you end up in an argument... someone or both parties say hurtful things and those good years or great days of friendship are gone...

I have this really good friend... thing is... I don't know if she's my friend anymore. I barely see her. We were really really close when we were younger and now... whatever bond we once had... just gone... I even had a nightmare about it... it depicted final closure of our broken friendship... she said she didn't want to be friends anymore and in my dream... I cried... it really hurts... as I'm writing this now... I'm on the verge of tears... I'm still willing to be friends with her... she doesn't know I feel this way and maybe... it's better... I'd rather not get closure than receive it... cowardly huh?

How do you get through a fight in a friendship? I don't know... I haven't been in a real big fight with any of my friends... but i guess it either takes time... or a clear explanation... but the best part definitely is making up... learning that the short or long time you guys have been "un-friends" is over. "To forgive and forget." I don't think anyone really forgets a fight they've been in with a friend... but sometimes... its fun to look back on those days you got into that fight and laugh... thinking, 'I was so immature back then.' or 'I can't believe we fought over that.' and maybe... apologize again... in your own fashion, whether it be, 'I'm sorry.' or 'I was such an ass. How did you put up with me?' ... just because...

So... what is friendship? To me... it's an indescribable magical feeling when everything is going right, a sad 'tearing-at-your-heart' feeling when everything is going wrong... but... in the end... its truly worth it. I just want all my friends to know that I would gladly give up my life for you and I will try my best to bail you out of jail [doesn't mean to actual try getting into it]! I will try my best to comfort you when you are hurt. I will listen to you when you need the most even if it means missing my favorite TV show, or wasting studying time, or watching anime...because... I love you with all my heart and each of you make me as content as I could be. Aishiteru! Saranghae! Je t'aime! I love you.

I edited very little so the grammar as well as the syntax are very poor, and for that I apologize. But if you did take the time to read it, I commend you for making it through 665 words of my mini essay on friendship. ♥ Other than that, leave me a comment on what you think my sophomore perception of friendship was and currently partially is. :3

Also, I was a complete and utter Everwood/Cardcaptor Sakura dork when I started xanga XD Twas quite sad but amusing to read. I relived some of my most interesting moments through xanga including the time that I had entered my locked room through a window with a ladder as well as spazzing about getting the Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card movie (twice). July 13th, 2004 was one of the happiest days of my life as well as June 20th, 2005 :D It's nice to remember the good old days.
