kimmay is feeling quite at the moment

Listening to:

Meant for my Ujournal...but that's not working. So I gotta write here. It's really long, that's why I don't want to lose it! I already lost one...

Okay, here it is.

This bastard journal! I wrote a hell of a lot this afternoon all about the first 4 days of my trip and I tried to save it because my uncle told me to shut it down but IT DIDN'T SAVE~~~~~!!!!!

*sadness. Major sadness*

*sigh* I guess I'll start from the beginning then. G~~osh.

Okay. So last...Wednesday, we left early in the morning for Yosemite, and arrived around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Our hotel was really cool -- we got this 3-bedroom apartment kinda thing, and it had 4 TVs and a jacuzzi. The first thing we did was went to the indoor pool, but that was really warm, so we went to the outdoor one, which was much cooler. Then came back and showered, and then decided what to do for dinner. Eventually, my cousin got all moody from some argument, so he was shut in his room for the rest of the night.

The next morning (Thursday), we went into the park (Yosemite National Park), but my cousin and uncle were moody from the night before, so it was kinda boring. Eventually, they both lightened up and we had some fun, but it was hot! So we went to one of the waterfalls (I think it was Yosemite Falls), and all these people had gathered at the bottom and were wading in the water. So we did some wading too, and the water was REALLY cold. But that's okay. It felt good. Then we left and went back to the hotel, and back to the pool for a little while (like, an hour) and then back into the park for dinner at this one restaurant. I wore my skirt and dress shoes that I had brought because I knew I wouldn't be wearing them anywhere else, so I thought I'd just wear them once so the space from my suitcase wouldn't go to waste. I remember having Creme Brulee for dessert with my aunt, but it had pistachio and like, mint in it, but we didn't know what it was at first, so I was a little scared of it at first. Then we went back to our hotel room and dipped in the jacuzzi to relax.

The next day (Friday), we checked out of the hotel, and headed back into the park and headed up to Glacier Point (there's this one turn on the way up where there's no guardrail and it's just a straight-down drop that scared most of us). I took a lot of pictures of the valley and the surrounding mountains. After that, we left for Los Angeles! It took a long time to get there, not to mention that when we arrived, it was rush hour! On a Friday afternoon... Anyways, we got to our hotel (in West LA) around 7 or something, and went to this nearby mall for dinner. And that was the end of that day.

Saturday morning, we woke up early and went into Beverly Hills to see some stuff. Our first stop was Rodeo Drive, but it was pretty boring because it was hot and no one was there except other tourists. Eventually, we walked into this GAP to cool off and to get my cousin some shorts (he had been wearing jeans and didn't bring any shorts) We were in there for a while, and it was pretty empty except for us. So after a while, I saw my uncle (he had left while we were in the GAP to search for some information or something) outside on his phone, and I walked past this guy on my way out. After a minute, my cousin came out and told me "That was Chris Rock!" I was surprised, because I didn't notice him when I had walked past him. But it was him, and he walked out a second later and my cousin shook his hand (my aunt also did in the store). I tried to get a picture of him walking away, but my camera was being a beeotch. :(

After that, we did some driving around the rich homes of Beverly Hills. We were supposed to drive around looking for celebrities houses, but we only went to one of Steve Martin's and passed a bunch of gates to houses of other celebrities, but you couldn't see anything, so the Steve Martin one was the only one we actually saw up close.

Then we went to Santa Monica, which will always have my first impression as "the same thing as Vice City from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". We went to the boardwalk, but it was really boring so we went back to the hotel and went to the pool I think.

At night, we went to Hollywood and saw Graumanns (sp?) Chinese Theater and I took pictures of a bunch of the celebrity handprints in cement and stuff (at least, the only ones I knew). But..well..you know those "Truth" advertisements you see on TV? You know, they're like, anti-smoking and anti-tobacco activists. Well, in front of the theater, they had these anti-abortion activists. And they had these big images that were very very graphic on display and stuff. There was one of just a head. A baby's head. Yes. Nothing else. It was really really sick and I tried not to look at it but it was just...there and it was hard to ignore. As we were walking away, I heard one of the girl-activists trying to talk about the issue to some guy (like, asking him what he thought of it), and he (I think he might've been gay but that's irrelevant) was like "Well I think what you're doing is disgusting..." and then she started arguing with him and I just wanted to jump in and be like "Hell yeah! This guy is completely right! You shouldn't do this in a public place like this where children are! These images are not appropriate and are too graphic for children to see like this! Shame on you~~!" Anyways...we ate that night at some chinese restaurant down the street but it wasn't very good.

On Sunday, we didn't have any special plans, so we went to Venice beach, but I didn't like it too much...I got sunburned too. But one good thing! We went into this bookstore, and I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, but I stopped in front of the children's section because there was this one shelf that was predominantly Harry Potter. So I briefly looked in this one book called like..."The Science of Harry Potter" or something, but it didn't really interest me. But I did see these two other books...and they were the two books JK Rowling did for Comic Relief UK!! I think I heard that they're not in print anymore, so I bought them. They were only like...$3 each! Yay! They're cool~~!

For dinner that night, we went to Universal City Citywalk and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. But also that night, they were filming Teen Nick or something there, and they had (Lil') Romeo perform! But that the bulk of his performance, we were inside at our table, so we missed most of it. But I did get some (bad) pictures~!

Monday, we went to California Adventure, which is part of Disneyland. The first thing we did was the rollercoaster, and it was pretty good for me. One loop, not too many drops...I liked it. Then we did a bunch of other rides, but they weren't as exciting. The only thing I liked after that was this Aladdin thing we saw. It was really funny and nice and flashy and had good special effects. Most of the main cast looked asian..lol...I can't remember what we had for dinner that night though...

I think I might continue tomorrow morning because my younger cousin is being all beeotchy...:P

Listening to: eh...~

Well, I'm watching this clip of a medley from the Shounen Club featuring a bunch of old songs Yamapi's performed. Oh dear it's entirely too cute.

First is Sawarenai (May 7th, 2000), which is okay...The other juniors are dressed in these small yellow shirts that have a little Jr." logo.

Next is Imasuguni (also May 7th), which has him dressed in this odd, red, white, and blue outfit with yellow stars on it. Like a racecar kind of outfit. Really really weird. But I like the song (I've never heard it before).

Then Love XXXX (September 17, 2000), which I've heard so many times since I first discovered juniors, so it's kinda old...

Fourth is Aoi Inazuma (May 13, 2001), which I also have a performance of (though there are lyrics on this one~!). I love this song (specifically the part where he sings "you're my girl~~")

Next is Mix Juice (October 14, 2001), which I've also heard a lot since the discovery, so...yeah. But I love the "Need you, Want you, Love you" and the "Need me, want me, love me" that follows it.

And finally, there is Natsu no Kakera (June 6, 2002), which of course, I saw a couple weeks after it aired. Oh dear, I used to watch this performance religiously. I'd keep listening to "You make me feel so happy" over and over and over again. But now that I watch it again, I think "He needs a haircut here"

And then I also have this clip of a medley of the ending songs (aka, the songs they perform at the end of each show). First is "Love Letter" (April 23, 2000), which I still adore greatly because it's so damn cute. And I've never seen this performance of it...All the little dances Yamapi does are s~o~ c~u~t~e~!

Then "Deep na Bouken" (September 3, 2000). I've never heard this song, but it's not bad.

And then there's "Tulurira" (October 22, 2000) which I've also heard a lot. But this performance is just so cute because on that one line right before all of the "tulurira"'s, they ALL do this little jig and twirl...Oh dear. By the way, is there any translation for tulurira, or is it just a bunch of jibberish? I'm leaning towards jibberish...

And the last one is "Amai Amai Yoru" (December 10, 2000). I had this song for the longest time and it wasn't labeled correctly, so I went through about half the year calling it "untitled" until I finally came across the title somewhere and figured "hey...they do sing 'amai amai yoru' right in the middle of that song, don't they?" At the end of the song, all the smaller juniors jump out in those pink, blue, and yellow oversized suits which I've seen from that "Can Do, Can Go!" performance.

Oh man, now I'm going through all my Johnny's mpgs...*not good*

*watches Arashi's "Naminori Johnny" performance and yells "Wipe that stupid smirk off your face, Sho! It's making me laugh too much!"*

Okay, I must control myself...

Hahah, my mom is watching that Celine Dion thing that Justin Timberlake is hosting. He was like "It seems that her dressing room is bigger than my first house" and I screamed out "yeah, your first house!!"

I watched him on that Punk'd. I couldn't stop laughing.

Okay, that's all.

Listening to: W-inds - Try Your Emotion

Urgh today sucked. Not completely, but the majority of it did.

So let's see...I had a short story for English due today. I printed it out this morning, and guess what I just found out...There's one of the pages laying here on the floor! So my teacher is reading it having no idea what's going on because it's missing a crucial part of the story. This evil evil printer. It spits them out too fast. I should've known when I was turning it in. I should've counted! I should've known that there were only six pages in my hand, NOT SEVEN!

First period wasn't so bad. Every morning in this class, we talk about the news and then do these three trivia question he takes from one of those daily calender things. I got two out of the three (one was about the chemical that lightning bugs use to light up, and the other was about who wrote "Leaving on a Jet Plane"...Is that the title? I can't remember the entire title). So yeah. But my voice is really soft so I had to repeat my answer like, 20 times while the teacher was talking to these other students (and it doesn't help that I sit in the back row). My friend who sits next to me kept saying to me "Louder! LOUDER!".

Second period, we watched some video and did an activity. It was so boring. My friend fell asleep during the video. We're studying the Romans (after having studied the Greeks), so I really have this urge to watch Gladiator. I just want to see the end! I don't even like Russell Crowe that much! *doesn't make sense*

Going off on a different topic, I had the Latin National Exam on Friday. I think I did well. Last year, I got a gold. I think I missed two. I know I missed at least one on this one, but I think I still did very well. I'm not entirely sure if I did get that one (the one I think I got wrong) wrong. If I don't get any wrong, they give you a special certificate or something. Two people got it last year.

Third period wasn't so bad. We did our vocab sentences (Our school has SAT words that the entire school has to do, but it was changed this year -- each grade is getting different levels of the vocab, which comes in these books. It used to be everyone gets the same words. Anyways, everyone gets tested on these words every once in a while). Then we watched Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet. You do know what this means, don't you? I kept thinking "PIXIES!" and that funny little laugh he does as Lockhart. Oh dear.

But as we were watching it, I had a stomachache so I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. I was half asleep during one part (this means I was laying on my desk with my eyes closed and nearly asleep, but still consciously listening to the movie). I was going to wake up sooner or later because the one part (I believe it's Act I, Scene IV or maybe it's V) where Hamlet talks to the ghost was really loud.

And fourth period, I did nothing as usual.

When I got home, I caught the end of Castaway. I had never seen most of the beginning until a few days ago. I had always seen the end, but never the beginning. But I think it was Friday when my brothers and I watched Behind Enemy Lines (with Owen Wilson) and the first part we saw was when he was on a boat watching something float away in the water, screaming "WILSON!!" That really made me laugh. Owen Wilson rocks.

Next month should be exciting. April 5th: Prom. April 9th: Yamapi's birthday. April 12th: HPCoS out on DVD. April 15: Spring Break starts (I did not make a mistake on this; the county added the first day of Spring Break as a make-up day from the snow. But no one's coming to school anyway...not even the teachers).

But the end of March should be a little exciting as well. March 26-18 are the dates for the spring musical (which is West Side Story this year).

Speaking of the musical, I know this one sophomore that's in it. She was telling me about some of the people that are in it. For example, there are these two guys, let's name them Charles and Marty, and they play two of the hispanic guys. She says that Charles is too American, so he couldn't do a Spanish accent if his life depended on it. Marty, on the other hand, sounds Jamaican when he does the accent. I thought that was funny. Then there's a bunch of other people...particularly *****, who plays one of the leads, that bastard.

I saw him today outside after the last bell rang. I just wanted to yell at him "***** ******* ****** [name blocked out for security reasons hahah], I HATE YOU!!!" and start bitching at him (just so you know, I don't really hate him. Quite the opposite really).

So back to the main story. I watched Castaway, then flipped through the channels for about another hour until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was extremely hungry but didn't have much to choose from, so I ended up eating salsa and chips. And it was good too. But then my mom, who was sitting there with me, wanted some too so I didn't get as much as I would've liked to. That was about 6. Then I watched the beginning of The Fast and the Furious, of which I had already seen the end.

Did I ever mention here that I beat Kingdom Hearts? Well I did. But you should know that I did cheat slightly...Yes..I did. But I loved the ending. I beat it twice, actually. The first time I beat it, I didn't go to the Dalmatian house and get the last prize, so I didn't get the special ending. So I beat it again with ease.

Oohh Everwood is on. I caught an old episode on Saturday, along with an old episode of Smallville. I haven't watched the WB since like, 7th grade (I used to watch occasional episodes of Dawson's Creek and Roswell and 7th Heaven, but have stopped since then). But WOW...I'll discuss Smallville first. Now, let's get one thing straight. Tom Welling...*is speechless*. Such a shame he's married, dammit. The episode that was on was one where Clark gets his class ring and it has some meteor rock in it similar to kryptonite, but it's making him go all nuts and rebel against everyone. He made an evil smile in like, every scene. But it looked good.

And also, I do have to admit that Kristin Kreuk is insanely pretty, and that should be illegal.

Now Everwood. Now honestly, who else remembers Gregory Smith as Sport in Harriet the Spy?!? My friend and I loved that movie when I was in the 6th grade, to the point that we kept journals and snuck around our quiet little neighborhood (we didn't accomplish much, but oh well). I still have the journal I used, but now I write in it as a real diary.

And now I think it's time to go.

Listening to: ...

Well...I'm watching Chamber of Secrets right now. I have concluded that my favorite part of the movie is when they are at the Burrow.

Ron: They were starving him, mum! There were bars on his window!
Mrs Weasley: Well you best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley!
Ron: *makes a scared face and looks at Fred/George*

Ginny: Um, Mummy! Have you seen my jumper?
Mrs. Weasley: Yes dear, it was on the cat.
Ginny: *spots Harry*
Harry: Hello!
Ginny: *runs away*

Mr. Weasley: ...And who are you?
Harry: Oh, sorry sir. I'm Harry, sir. Harry Potter.
Mr. Weasley: *in an unsurprised tone* Good Lord. Are you really?

Mrs. Weasley: Oh, that must be Errol with the post!
All: *watching Errol fly towards the house...*
Errol: *SMACK! Crashes into the window*

Harry: Professor! Your bird! There was nothing I could do! It just...caught fire!!
Dumbledore: Oh, and about time too.

Draco: Crabbe! Goyle! Where have you two been? Pigging out in the Great Hall all this time?
Ron (as Crabbe): *nods*
Draco: *to Harry/Goyle* Why are you wearing glasses?
Harry (as Goyle): Umm...reading.
Draco: ...I didn't know you could read.

Oh dear...that one part in the chamber when Harry says "I bet he saw right through you"...that's scary!! Daniel, what was with that freaky smile??

Ron: Uh..buh...Uh...*clearly flustered*
Hermione: *shakes hands with him*
Ron: Wel-Welcome back Hermione...

Well that's all. It's awfully late...

Or I could say "nihil" (I think it is), which means "nothing" in Latin...

Well, it's been a month since my last entry. Almost a month. 1 day away from a month. Not much has happened but about 40 inches of snow around here.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen my Ancient Medieval History teacher in days, so now I'm kind of worried that the London trip isn't possible. If it still is on, it's going to be in two weeks, but I don't think that's possible.

Yesterday, my brothers and I went out to the store and also to EB (Electronics Boutique) Gameworld and my brother bought the game Dark Cloud 2. It's pretty cool but hard too. The game is split up into chapters. I just started the second one after starting today. But it's getting progressively harder. You have to synthesize your weapons with other items and stuff and it's kinda confusing for me. And then there are like, 3 HP bars that you have to watch out for, all for one character! (One for his health, another two for the durability of the two weapons in each hand...or something like that. If you don't watch the weapons, they break). Then there are going to be like 20 other supporting characters that can join you. Then you take pictures of objects to get ideas for inventions you can make. And you can take pictures of certain events that will add to ideas for inventions (which really confuses me), but they're hard to get (one was when I had to take a photo of this monster doing one of it's special attacks. So I'm taking a picture of it WHILE IT'S ATTACKING ME. The first time I tried, I got it and then it killed me. But the second time, I got it fine).

I'm eating applesauce. Mmm. This is the fourth little cup of it I've had today. But we got a whole economy sized thing of it. Four packs of 6 regular, and 3 packs of 6 cinnamon flavored.

...I was tempted to write flavoured. This is how obsessed I've become with London.

So, Prisoner of Azkaban finally started shooting. And no word of any Cho Chang yet...They're waiting for me, I know it. *laughs maniacally, then sobs because she knows she's horribly wrong*

I've started reading this other HP fanfic at Fiction Alley. It's very long. It's good, but a lot of parts I don't understand. But all of a sudden, Harry is this expert on a Patronus and a master of Zen...It's really weird. Hermione is surprisingly the same as usual, but Ron too has changed. Otherwise, it's superb. The sequel is just underway, but it too is weird. First, Harry goes to Japan and studies Zen...but something happens. I don't want to give it away. But honestly, I NEVER thought Harry would agree to it!! I know this isn't the books but still! It's Harry!

Don't know what else. There's a lot I wrote in my uJournal but it's down at the moment...of course. Uh..ordered my cap and gown the other day. Got a free extra tassel to put wherever. A lot of friends have mentioned hanging off the mirror in their car, but I have no car! So...I'll just hang it in my room for now.

Oh, yesterday, we also went to the store and got this huge bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans (who also make the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans *hehehe*). Today I was eating some. I hit the Juicy Pear one. EWWWWW. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW. I shall never touch that one again. EVER. It tasted SO BAD and the taste lingered in my mouth for a while. I ate some more after that and then I started feeling sick. Some of the other ones aren't good either. But some are. I've always like the Toasted Marshmallow and Buttered Popcorn. I just wish they'd make the colors a bit more obvious or something. For example, the back of the bag lists the color of Bubble Gum as pale pink, while Cotton Candy is light pink. It's insanely hard to distinguish between pale pink and light pink. THEY'RE BOTH PINK.

So, today's lesson is to avoid Juicy Pear jelly beans at all costs. Remember, they are the green speckled ones. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!

Hey...that gives me an idea. What if I start a jelly bean flavor clique or something?? HAHHA that'd be cool. There are cliques for everything else! Just make a bunch of jelly bean images...Hmm...

Oh dude...I just poured some more jelly beans into this little dixie cup I'm using to hold them. The first one that came out was a Juicy Pear. That seems like bad luck.

Hey cool! A french vanilla! *exits while chewing away on a french vanilla jelly bean*

Another entry meant for my Ujournal.

A joyous, joyous day!!

From January 8th:

Then I got to school, and lost my watch! My beloved watch! My somewhat-expensive watch!

But GUESS WHAT!?!

I FOUND IT!!!!!

It was in my room, hiding in a crevice between my trash can and a pile of magazines. Completely hidden. Or maybe it was in the Tower Records bag where I have my two Duet magazines.

I was sitting in my room, doing my homework. I try to find any reason to stall and distract myself, so I decided, hey, why not look at my two Duet magazines? So I moved the bag towards me and into my lap, and then I saw it! The shining silver band...At first, I thought it just might be the extra link that we received (I took it off because it would be too big for my wrist if I left it there), but I pulled it out and voila! It was there!

I am convinced I should never wear my watch and my sky blue hooded sweater from Aeropostale at the same time. That's what I was wearing the day it fell off, and I guess it masked the disappearance of my watch so I never noticed until I was at school. But I was in a hurry that morning too, so maybe I should blame that too.

Now for another part that I am writing exclusively for my pita.

I've fallen in love with Yamapi and the juniors again.

I downloaded this really really cute thing from the Shounen club.

In the first part (title: "Takkyuu ouji Hasejun!?", or "Table Tennis prince Hasejun"), Hasegawa and this other junior who I don't know are starting to play table tennis. At first, they pretend to be going in slow mo and everyone laughs. Then, for unknown reasons, Hasejun falls flat on his ass. Hilarious. There's no real reason...I think he just might have tripped over his own feet.

In the next part (titled "Yamapi watashi ni atete[heartmark]", which I think means, "Yamapi hit me"), Yamapi takes a stab at table tennis. IT WAS SO CUTE. The other person served (I couldn't see his face so I didn't know who it was), and Yamapi hit it back. But he hit it right into this pack of girls in the audience sitting a couple feet from the table. He runs over and sees if she's all right. IT WAS SO SO SO CUTE...He's like, nodding asking if she's okay and she just nods and all the girls around her scream.

The next part (titled "Sonna wake nee yo Hasejun!"...I don't know what it means) is some odd thing in which Hasegawa is sitting on Kazama's shoulders, measuring something. He must give completely wrong measurements because everyone can't believe him. So he tries it again and gets something completely different, and they all seem to agree with those. I'm not completely familiar with the metric system, so I don't know...At first he got 9m 1cm (Jimmy cheers in the background for some reason, like he won a bet or something), and then he looks at the tape measure again and says 33m. There's a big difference between the two, aren't there?!

The final part (titled "Sonbo dansu senshuken bangai hen"....I'm not sure if that's right, the title is hard to read) has them doing limbo. Hasejun goes first, and almost makes it but falls on his back. Jimmy goes next, and he looks like he's going to make it (even though he's the tallest of all of them, and you'd think he might fall first. He almost makes it, but hits the bar and fails. Yamapi goes last (protesting a little). I knew he wasn't going to make it because at first he just bends down but doesn't bend backwards. He gets right up to it and is about to bend back, but loses his balance (making the CUTEST face) and decides to give up.

By the way, the limbo bar was about the height of the middle of Jimmy's thighs. And he's like, 6 ft tall, so...you could guess that the bar was probably around 2½ feet high. I haven't done limbo since like, 5th grade so...I'd probably fail right off the bat.

I'll take some screencaps of this maybe. There are SO many cute little faces they make. Mainly Hasejun and Yamapi are making them.

That's all.

Listening to: Ayumi Hamasaki - Real Me

"BUGGER!!"

That's what my brother thinks I'll be saying when I come back from London. Since it sounds pretty definite that I'm going. I expect I just might. I'll come home saying "bloody hell!" and "bugger!"

Umm..yeah. Whatever. I don't have anything else to write.

Listening to: W-inds - Try Your Emotion

I wrote this entry for my Ujournal, but as I was writing it, their servers must have gone down because I couldn't post it when I was done. It's from yesterday, because I saved the draft to post later, but I don't think they ever came back. So I'm posting it here!

Today has been very eventful!!

First of all, the whole Columbia explosion thing. I woke up at 11:30 and no one was downstairs but the TV was on CNN, talking about something and showing the debris falling. They didn't say anything about it exploding, so I didn't really pay any attention and went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. When I came back, they had started talking about it and I noticed that it was on all the news stations too. Then my brother came down and told me more about it. There's only one thing I thought was really funny...Someone crank called CBS and my brother said Dan Rather was like "yes, that was a prank call..."

Next, my parents came home with lunch, along with some ACC cow bobbleheads. We got the cows with the MD Terrapins sign, of course!

AND NOW! The big story!! (I totally thought I mentioned this somewhere when it was first offered, but now that I look back, I suppose I never did, so here's a recap)

About two weeks ago, I told my mom about how my teacher wanted to take that trip to London, mainly to go to the British Museum and see the sculptures from the Parthenon in Greece. When I told her this, she kind of shrugged it off, because of the details I had, she didn't think he'd be able to put it together, and pretty much said I couldn't go. So all seemed doomed...at first.

Yesterday, he told us that he's gotten approval to go on the trip from the school system superintendent, so basically, it looks like the trip IS going to happen! So I told this to my mom and dad and they started considering it.

The only problem I was encountering was that I have no passport, so yesterday after school I was bugging my parents about getting one. They're going on this cruise at the end of March, so they had just gone through the whole passport routine, and they know what to do.

Evidently, they talked about this last night or this morning at work (my parents work together), and after lunch, my dad handed me a form that he printed off the internet for a passport!!! YES! They're serious about letting me go!! My mom said that my dad is going to take me on Monday to the pictures place so we can get my photo done.

And since the normal time between applying and receiving the passport is 6 weeks, we're thinking we're going to pay extra to get it quicker. 6 weeks just might not be enough.

So I really want to tell my friend, who sits next to me in that class. When he announced it, we were talking about it and she was telling me that I should do all the passport stuff this weekend and hopefully get it in time. She said that she won't go if I don't, and I said the same thing. SO WE HAVE TO GO! But I won't see her until Monday at school.

My mom just filled out the application (because she has better handwriting, and she'd undoubtedly start whining about something I wrote if I did it myself)

So all of this...the passport, the trip...it's going to be like, $400-500!! They won't buy me anything now...

I think I'll stop here.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Uso Mitai na I Love You

I think UJournal's servers completely crashed. Earlier today, I was looking at someone's journal (and later, mine to check too) and all it had was the subject, moods, and music. No entries whatsoever. I hope they're not deleted permanently. I left some good stuff there!

But I haven't been writing much in any diary lately anyways. Well...wait..I did write some in an actual book journal. That was it.

*Sigh* So obsessed with Harry Potter fics. (Hmm...I was tempted to write "Happy Rotter"...you know..switch the p and r's...). But it's such a shame that Fanfiction.net (didn't they mention that they had just acquired FF.com, too?) is so slow. So so slow.

Grr...I keep seeing this circular something (I think it's a lid to something) out of the corner of my eye from the kitchen...makes me think someone is standing there watching me. I DISLIKE IT GREATLY.

OH OH OH! I mentioned this in my Ujournal, but not here, so I shall take the pleasure of explaining it again!

OKAY! *sits down pretzel-style (I don't know what you call it) like she's going to tell a elaborate story*

Anyways, in my Ancient Medieval History class, we're doing this unit on the Ancient Greeks. And, if you know stuff about Ancient Greece, you might know the whole ordeal with the Parthenon and stuff. Long story short, the British came in and kind of "stole" some sculptures from the Parthenon (the British claim that they had saved it from further destruction or something like that, so now its theirs, even though the Greeks want it back). So now these sculptures have been on display in the British museum for a while.

This is the good part. My teacher throws out the idea that he can take a group of kids TO LONDON. We're talking 10-20 kids here, so it's not everyone in the class (there are two classes of AMH, and a total of around 40-50 students). And he said just today that he got approval from the superintendent of the school system, so as long as he finds a good place to buy all the plane tickets and hotel reservations from, we're good to go!

Problem for me is that I don't have a passport! (I told my friend this and she was like "YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO CANADA?!" and I said "no..". She seemed to be amazed at this). So I ran this whole situation by my mom and she seems to be supportive of it for the most part, but my dad is skeptical on whether I can get the passport on time. But I'm not giving up! I REALLY WANT TO GO TO LONDON!

Knowing this teacher, it would be a blast. He's told us that way back when he taught at this other school and he had just started taking these little trips across the Atlantic (he seems to do it every year now), he let the small group of kids wander around Cairo by themselves. At like, midnight too! So I'm sure that we can do SOMETHING in London. This year, he's taking (another) trip to Italy...mainly Florence, I think it was. And this is for spring break, I believe.

...And..knowing myself, the first place I'd probably go upon getting the chance would be...

King's Cross.

He told us the days that we'd go for this London thing. He said there's this one three-day weekend, so we'd leave on the Thursday, arrive in London, have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to do stuff, and then come back Monday.

WAHHHHH I'm so determined to go.

One of my friends is determined to go, and on top of that, find Orlando Bloom....

Though I wouldn't mind that, of course. But is he single? I haven't heard anything about his dating status, but I don't keep up on him that much. He's cute, but...maybe a bit too extreme for me. A bit TOO dark and brooding for me.

I've heard that some people support Mr. Bloom for the role of Krum if they make the GoF into a movie. I guess it wouldn't be THAT bad, but he's what, 25? 26 right now? And if they don't start making it until next year or 2005, he's going to be nearly 30 by then. And they want him to be a 17 year old? And pair him up with Emma Watson? Uh..no.

Unless they change Emma. Which would be almost fine by me. She was good in the first one, but grew up way too quickly. And she hasn't even hit 13 yet! I'm 17 and I still look 13.

...Yeah, uh...why are you still reading this?? >_<~

Listening to: Ayumi Hamasaki - July 1st

What have I done to my pita? It's become the reject diary!!

Anyways...I just wanted to post a link to this quiz (it's on a bbs, if you need to know). It's just a little sorter into a Hogwarts house. I was really skeptical at first about what kind of results would come out so I didn't take it completely seriously, but it sounded pretty right! I was surprised.

By the way, my scores were...
Ravenclaw: 31 (just goes to show you that I AM CHO! AHHAHAH..ha..*dies*)
Hufflepuff: 16 (I was expecting to get this one)
Gryffindor: 18 (better than I thought!)
Slytherin: 14 (more than I imagined!! It was the game board questions...and the genealogy questions too)

So what have I been doing for the past 10 days? ...um...

Well, this week is midterm exams, so I'm getting out at 10:30 everyday, which is before my brothers wake up..hahah. It's like I was never even gone!

Today I drove my grandma to the bank and market. I "tapped" a car (while parking) in the parking lot at the market, but there was NO damage at all (plus, it was a huge SUV). So...I won't be driving much after that.

Then I came home and slept some downstairs in the cold cold basement. But I was under a REALLY warm blanket so it wasn't bad. When I woke up, I came upstairs and wanted to resume sleeping on the couch, but my mom was sleeping there (she caught my old cold)...so I trudged around looking for somewhere to sleep. Instead, I went back down to the basement and curled up under the warm blankets and played some HP. That damn Avifors challenge!! It's so impossible! I died so much...That one room where those ghost women are floating around and you have to jump from platform to platform on the walls...Completely killed me. And also I couldn't beat Crabbe (or was it Goyle?) in that duel until about 10 tries. And then that big statue at the end of the avifors challenge. Kept hitting it right NEXT to me which knocked me down. Took many tries. When I got out (and got my well-deserved 40 house points), I turned it off and trudged back upstairs, where my mom was still sleeping.

Yeah, so I went off and downloaded W-inds and Ayu and...Have been listening nonstop ever since. *has fallen victim to the hype*...Ayu's not as bad as I thought (I thought she had a really annoying high voice, but I was wrong)...and W-inds..I couldn't respect them because they're almost Johnny rivals but...Keita's so pretty...

Did I mention? I finished that "Simple and Clean" download but it was just a portion of it. So there was nothing different! I was angry.

Hmm...what do you all think about this guy who's going to be Lupin in the third movie? It's been confirmed. David Thewlis I think his name is? I think he's too goofy looking...not very werewolf-ish, is he?

And I'm still wondering about Gary Oldman being Sirius. I just CAN'T see him as Sirius!! bah..

Yeah well...time to go!

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Colors

Ahh today was enjoyable.

Woke up around 7:30 this morning, thanks to a coughing fit (I have a cold). I sipped some orange juice I left by my bed and went back to sleep. My final waking up time was 11:30 something.

Came down, ate breakfast (french toast), then bugged my brother some. Last night, he revealed to me that he had gotten HPCoS so I was bugging him last night but he said that I would have to wait until today to watch it because it was too late by the time he had the whole thing.

So I bugged him and he said that we couldn't watch it until he watched the first one. So we pulled out our DVD and watched it, which took about 2½ hours. When that was done, we went downstairs to watch the other one (because it would only play on this one certain DVD/VCD/MPG player that we have, and it happens to be down there. So I went, my two brothers went, and even my mom came down to watch it. We were there for a while. I was watching it quite intently until the end of the second disc, which is basically the part where they go to Hagrids and see Fudge, Lucius, and Dumbledore there too. I fell asleep for like, two minutes during that scene.

I remembered just how much I love the end when they're in the Chamber of Secrets. Christian Coulson was good as Tom, I'd say. He has a very cruel voice. Except when he had to fade away after Harry stabs the diary. That was a little...over the top. Why'd he have to cover his mouth?

Sorry not much has been written here. I've been enjoying adding to my Ujournal lately. So if you see me disappear completely from here, check there. And if I've disappeared from there too...send a search party.

Time for dinner! J~a~

Listening to: Michelle Branch - Goodbye to You (acoustic)

Yeah well...My site is back. I didn't complain or anything. I was about to, but then I was like "what good will it do? They'll still continue to be bitches about it."

Spent the day reading "Chamber of Secrets", and then playing the game on Xbox. I started a new game after beating it, but I didn't get everything. What part am I at? I just saw Nearly Headless Nick petrified. I think its the day after. I turned it off right before Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Lockhart. Haha...

Nothing much else that happened. Only thing I'd really like to say is that when I woke up this morning, my ear was asleep after sleeping on it. It felt really really odd.

I was halfway through downloading the Final Mix version of "Simple and Clean", but it was cut off. From what I have so far (which is about 56 seconds of it), nothing's new. So I'm wondering if someone labeled it wrong, or I just haven't gotten to the new part yet. But also, the person I was downloading from sent a message to me that made no sense whatsoever, so I didn't reply. I hope I didn't offend them.

I'm thinking of using my ujournal again. I like not having to keep writing out the song title, and having a daily mood. I really liked using LochJournal, but it started screwing up after I downloaded the latest version, so I stopped using it. That was July of last year. But I just download Semagic, and it seems to work well...a little slow on connecting, but I'm blaming that on the ujournal servers, cause it was slow just on the website.

Well, I'm writing another whole entry there, so...yes. I shall end this one. *starts shouting out random words while waving a wand-like stick, hoping it will do something*

Wow.

Tom Felton with a really big fish. Yes. A big, big, BIG fish. The only fish I've ever caught were the size of my palm. But then again, I've only gone fishing like...three times in my life. I don't have the patience for fishing. Unless it's in Zelda (OoT or MM...I wonder if he'll still fish in the newest one that's coming out soon)

Listening to: Michelle Branch - All You Wanted

I'm under the impression that Harry Potter is the most popular category on FanFiction.net.

Why?

BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY PART OF THE SITE THAT'S DOWN.

Bastards. FF.net really needs to get its act together. Last week, I got on there and it seemed no one could update their stories for a couple days, and it really pissed me off because without fanfics (ESPECIALLY over break), I am an empty shell. I am nothing without fanfics. Yes.

I was walking through the hall at school this morning and was suddenly reminded why I despise school. Everyone in school was complaining about how we're the only school in the state that was in school today. Even my cousins in California didn't have school today. We're like, the only county in the country that has school today, I bet. HA.

I heard it might snow again (well..actually, mix, not snow), but I didn't hear when. I didn't know if it was tomorrow or this weekend or during midterms (oh, I wish I wish I wish)

Eh...bored...SO BORED...

I suddenly just had the urge to watch my Gackt RR DVD, so I did watch it, and now I have satisfied that urge. It was really nice too. I think I might go download some more Gackt songs that I never got because I didn't think much of them then. But now that I hear them over again, I think I might go for it. And then fall into another Gackt schpiel. Yes, schpiel is a word! XP

Anyways, Happy New Year, everyone! WOOHOO!

Listening to: Michelle Branch - Goodbye to You

Lol...Daniel Radcliffe is a boy scout...

I have heard rumors that BoA has been asked to be Cho in PoA...*weep*

There were also rumors that Sir Ian McKellan would be taking over as Dumbledore. Honestly, I have no real problem with this. He's the only other guy I could imagine Dumbledore as. But it has also been said that the rumor was absolutely not true.

Also, about Christopher Lee being asked to be Dumbledore too...I don't think he's got the right look for it. His nose is too big. >.<

*still can't get over the BoA rumor*

Even if she can't speak very good English...I wouldn't be so surprised if she does get it. There are only like...two lines that Cho has. But it should also be noted that she is a singer, and probably has a pretty demanding schedule. And the fact that no one knows if she can really act. Would she look good in a Quidditch uniform?

...*laughs at the idea*

So many conflicting rumors. I wish Warner Bros would just SAY SOMETHING.

Well...that's all.

Listening to: Johnny's Jr (Four Tops) - Yokubou no Rain

I just want to comment how much I LOVE this song. I'm watching Four Tops perform it from last month (it was the second part of a two-song medley. The first song was Nami, but it was all acoustic, and I don't think it sounded very good). I really love the second part of the chorus when they pan out to show the entire group. That one move (when they sing "pain pain pain") just kills me. The little nod...so...adorable. Though Toma doesn't do it.

And at the very end, Hasejun flips his hair back and looks around. It very much says "let's finish this so I can get home and count my money" to me.

And Yamapi keeps grabbing at the top of his shirt through the ENTIRE song. So funny. And Toma keeps giving these angry looks when he's singing.

I've found that whatever Yama-kun wears HAS to be a little flashier than the others, but matches them too. In this one, the rest of them are just wearing black pants, white shirt, and black blazer. But Yamapi's blazer and pants are shiny (still black), with a pattern on it.

Time to eat, will return later...

Listening to: none

So how was everyone's Christmas?

Mine was somewhat predictable. My favorite gifts were the ones that I already knew what they were. The two best being my new Pocket PC and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" for the XBox.

I split my time today between the two, eating when necessary. Seriously...in the game, I've gotten pretty far for one day (spells up to the one that turns things into birds....I forget what it's called). And I'm winning in house points, even though I keep getting caught by prefects when I go out. The game is done quite wonderfully, and I especially love the Quidditch games! The rings are annoying, but I do enjoy actually catching the snitch.

As for my Pocket PC....my dad got one for everyone in the family (my brothers, myself, and my mom -- he'd had one for a couple weeks now). We all knew what they were though, because one day two UPS guys showed up on our doorstep with four large boxes that resembled the one we had received a couple weeks ago (which revealed my dad's new Pocket PC). And I answered the door, so I knew what they might be.

They're really cool though! I've put a bunch of songs on there and they sound really good. I just downloaded some new themes...Harry Potter themed, of course (though they're not nearly as cool as one of the built in ones -- the fire one). Plus, my dad put the ENTIRE four HP books on it, so now I don't have to haul around my box set if I want to read. The downfall is that they're not organized into chapters, so I spent some time going through the first three books bookmarking chapters, but I don't think I'll tackle GoF for a while..

He also put the Lord of the Rings trilogy on there, though I haven't started reading that either. My brother has the books, but he's only read the first chapter of "Fellowship..." so I don't think he'll be done soon.

What else did I get? Clothes...two eyelash curlers (my old one, which worked really well but was plastic, broke. My mom ordered two just in case), a book about the history of Garfield (yes, the comic)...candy...A Chinese travel guide thing (though I won't be traveling there anytime soon, but it's full of useful phrases), and a bunch of other things of no real importance.

Blech...stomachacheyness. My brother and my cousin felt sick today...I felt sick this morning...

Oh yes, forgot to mention it was snowing like a mofo here. And they just plowed the street like, an hour ago.

I think I'm going off to go transfer some more songs to my Pocket PC. Ja~

Daniel Radcliffe in a suit = far too much for me

Have I expressed my immense love for men in suits?

Especially with blue shirts...

And the blue tie doesn't hurt either....

Yes yes...far too far for me.

And he's only 13 years old!! WHAT THE HELL!?

Near obsession with a 13 year old is a sure sign that the world is coming to an end. A very large sign. An omen.

*bashes head against desk in a Dobby-like fashion* Harry -- Potter -- is -- FICTION -- Daniel -- Radcliffe -- is -- 13 -- GET -- OVER -- IT....

Listening to: Arashi - Ashita ni Mukatte

This song is so...cute. Well...I don't know...incredibly cheesy, but cute.

Anyways, you might notice that I have deleted the entry that last resided here. That's because the quiz result banner didn't show up correctly, so I decided to delete the entire entry, rather than allow the "remote linking forbidden" graphic ruin the look. Hahha...

So...Today kinda sucked. Because it snowed last Thursday, which was when I was supposed to get my senior portraits done, the appointment was rescheduled for today. Originally, they were at 7 PM, so I wouldn't be tired from it being so early in the morning. Of course...they just had to reschedule it for 10 AM.

I woke up at 8 anyways...Slept for another half an hour on the couch downstairs, and then took a shower. Ate breakfast, did a couple things...picked out some outfits to bring.

I highly dislike being told to pose in uncomfortable positions. There was also something with my bangs, so the photographer and my mom kept fighting to keep it out of my face.

Anyways..then we went to the mall, where I really wanted to see Harry Potter again. My mom even agreed, but then when we made a complete round around the mall (Arundel Mills, which is shaped in a big circle), she decided that we'd just go home because my brother was too tired to go see it. I felt very much betrayed by him. He seems to like the books too, but whenever I tell him to go see the second movie, he's always like "I'll just wait til it's on DVD!" and it angers me greatly. It's SO much better on a theater screen, no matter what anyone says.

But something cheered me up today...I went to Yahoo Movies to check out the reviews and stuff on HP...And they had a bunch of clips to download! I loved it...I watched some of the greatest scenes. They even had an interview with Daniel Radcliffe (if you don't know this name, please go back to your rock)...He was stuttering so much! LOL...

"...I approached the second one, as it was my favorite book, I approached it as..because..it's a much darker story...and I think Harry's character is very much...very different from in the first film. So I think he...um..as he is developed so much, I had to develop myself as well, so I kind of..I reread the second book basically and I tried to kind of get into the...I've now kind of developed two instincts, my instinct and Harry's instinct so I find..I kind of..think...if...if..I'm in a situation in the film, I think how would Harry react to this and so I of course tried to bring this out onto the screen."

"I wouldn't have swapped this for anything. It was really fun [?]..I've developed as a person so much; everybody on set has. I think even the adults have developed, and we're all kind of...especially me, Rupert, and Emma and some of the other kids have developed really strong bonds now as well."

"This is a real key moment in the entire film. It's...This is, I think probably, one of the really..one of the scenes where it gets really dark, because Harry starts to speak Parseltongue, which is a language which means he can talk to snakes. And...basically, everybody in the school then starts to suspect that he is the heir of Slytherin, because Salazar Slytherin was also a Parseltongue [I think he means Parselmouth here]. And so...this is one of..Parseltongue comes into the film a lot and it's very important to really pick up...And it was really fun to do because I got to learn bits of another language. I got to learn three phrases of this language which had been invented by somebody at the linguistics department of Cambridge University."

"He is, I guess, a fraud...um..And he's just....Girls love him. Boys hate him, because t-they pretty much...and most of the boys do, because they just know he's...a real..show-off and they know who he is...They-They all know that something's not quite right..and so...they're...They're very edgy around him. They kind of..They're just embarrassed by him. He's cringeworthy. He's..*ugh* [he seriously says that]. But..Kenneth Braunaugh on the other hand is the nicest man on earth [laugh]"

"Jason Issac's character is Lucius Malfoy. He is...a slimeball, basically. He's...He was a follower of Lord Voldemort, and he's very...he's a real snob, as well. And he's got...he's got long blonde hair, the same color as Draco Malfoy's..um..And so...he is...He's very -- He hates the Weas -- The Weasley's and the Malfoys hate each other, like the Jets and the Sharks in West Side Story. They really hate each other. And they both work for the ministry of magic...um...Except the Malfoys are a lot richer"

"*nods* I think everybody on set has really developed as actors and actresses..so..I think...I have become...One of the ways I think I've developed is I'm not quite so shy about putting ideas forward, cause in the first film I wouldn't have done it. But in the second, I think I'm beginning to...I kind of have a bit more confidence with putting ideas forward, trying new things, and..uh..doing different line readings, and so I think the second film has proved to be much more of a challenge, but hopefully I've met the challenge, I've done, hopefully, quite well. *nod* *scratches head under glasses*"

"Chris has given me a love of film...I didn't..I wasn't a big...I don't, I didn't like....I didn't go out and watch films. I wasn't interested. I started doing Harry Potter and he..he was just talking to me about all these films and I have wasted eleven years of my life! I-I should've been watching films like, oh I don't know Twelve Angry Men and things...What's Eating Gilbert Grape? -- Those are my two favorite films -- I should've been watching them ages ago. He started giving me that..a part of that...He's just so kind and generous..He's just..And his energy...Me and him get our energy from each other. Like, if I'm really psyched up, then he will be too.

"I think its funnier than the first film. It's got more action...um...And also it's got..um..a lot...It's...It's got a lot..a lot more emotional depth, especially to Harry's character. And, as I said before, it's a lot scarier, a lot darker, a lot creepier...so it's really...and there are lots of...cause Harry finds this diary...talks to Tom Riddle...in the diary...and finds out that Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets... so he then..and he finds out this because of Aragog so he then goes to Aragog in the forest to find out if hagrid really did do it, Aragog says no, he didn't, so Harry's back to square one. So there are lot of twists and turns here and there."

AH! I finished! It's a transcript of what Daniel said in this thing (no, it didn't give the questions). As you can see, he pauses and stutters quite a bit. It's really cute, but sometimes you can really never tell what in hell he's saying.

Anyways, it's late and I have to go or my parents will go insane. I'll come back and check all of it later, because I don't have time to do it now.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Simple and Clean

I've been in a very Utada Hikaru mood this afternoon...I feel like singing. This usually only happens when I'm home alone -- which I am. So I'm cycling through my UH songs. No Johnny's Jr, no Arashi, no Gackt, no V6 (those are the main artists on my list...but there are others...Tokio, Porno Graffitti...etc)

I stayed up 'til almost 5 AM last night, reading this one HP fic...it was another trilogy kind of thing...I got through the second one and was just about to start the third, when I noticed it was like, quarter to 5. So I read a chapter really quickly, and went to bed. Of course, I just kind of rolled around thinking for about a half an hour, but I wasn't really TOO tired. Just tired enough to push myself to sleep because I knew I needed it.

Okay, mom wants to use the computer for holiday organization reasons, so I shall grant her wish. ^_^ goodbye!

Harry Potter! GET OUT OF MY SYSTEM!!!!

My brother and I were just watching "WAM!", which is much like Nickelodeon, or the Disney Channel...We were watching "The Kid" (you know, wiht Bruce Willis?)

And of course, they have a little special thing from the premiere of a certain movie...Yes...THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS.

And they interview everyone...

And show a bunch of scenes from the movie...

AND I MUST SEE IT AGAIN.

Not just...because I had horrible seats the first time (second row...RIGHT IN THE FRONT...I'm glad you could lean those seats back a bit), but because I also missed the little secret thing at the end of the credits, which I just heard (though I've heard of it before).

Deeply sorry for this outburst. I just....I must....get it all out. GET IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM *runs around maniacally*

"Could you be Cho Chang?" (Yes!)

"David Heyman told CBBC Newsround that film makers will be looking for actors to star in the third film - including the role of Cho Chang."

"And he confirmed that keen kids are welcome to write into the casting agency if they're interested in the part."

Unfortunately, I heard that only UK residents can apply (This snippet is from a BBC site)...DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention...I heard that Ewan McGregor is being considered for the role of Professor Lupin. It would be a bit cooler if he was Sirius, but Lupin rocks too.

WAHHA (again)

What else is there to say? I have to say a lot...just not in public. Haha...Just in my diary. Not this diary. *goes off to write secret things in a notebook that is otherwise heavily guarded*

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Distance

I realize that, in total, this is my third entry of the day. But I just wanted to say...

"'Harry Potter' reclaims top spot at box office"! TAKE THAT JAMES BOND!

I've been rereading the end of "...Prisoner of Azkaban" over and over...I'm just so in love with it! And maybe I could pick up a few little notes that might be helpful in the plot for the future books. JKR has a habit of doing that, doesn't she?

Can anyone clear this one little thing I have with this book though? Why does Sirius laugh after Peter "dies"? Is it just because he knew what Peter really did? Or because he knew he was going to Azkaban and just started going insane right there? Or does no one really know?

I kind of feel like reading the fourth book too, but my brother has it since he's reading it. I don't know how far he is....he did finish Prisoner of Azkaban in a day...technically two, since it was past midnight...but I did the same thing, I think.

Hmm should be going off to bed now. Ja~~~~~~~ ne~~~~~~~

Listening to: Johnny's Jr (Four Tops) - Love and Dream

Without fully realizing it when I got it, I now have found out that I have another Mandy Moore haircut...Hers looks a little better, but that's probably because she's got her own personal stylist, dammit.

As I'm looking through this issue of Duet (8/02), I can't help but notice that Kazama Shunsuke is always dressed just the way I like it...Shame he talks too much for me and smiles really weirdly. He has such prettily defined facial features too...

I could scan this picture of Nishikido Ryo and show everyone just how much he really has grown. If my speculations are correct, it seems that he is now taller than Yokoyama Yu.

What confuses me about these magazines is that each has a little advertisement for Myojo. A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MAGAZINE....Maybe they're made by the same people...Which confuses me also.

I should get onto typing this other Yamapi thing in this other issue...But...Ah what the hell. I'll do it.

Listening to: Kinki Kids - Garasu no Shounen

Just wanted to say...I got two issues of Duet today! Yayy! Japanese magazines of my own.

I also wanted to say that one even features a little article on Hayden Christensen. DOUBLE THE FUN (Doublemint gum! No, I dislike mint)...

Right now, I'm typing up the article on Yamapi. This is an old issue - it's from August. I also have the one from September. They were the latest ones. There was one from February...Now that I think about it, maybe I should've bought that one instead of one of these...

I got these at Tower Records...I was very surprised! They didn't have any of the other kind of junior-filled magazines, like Potato or Myojo or Wink Up...Just Duet.

This one does come with a Yamapi pinup though...HAHA I won't put it up though. I'd be too embarassed.

It's really cute...I think there are little drawings sent in from the guys...In this one, there's even one from Nino! In the other one, there's one from Toma, and he draws really good. Either that, or it's someone else and the people who make this magazine don't know English and write "from [name here]" in a little heart next to it, giving credit to the wrong person. But I believe it's the first choice. There is one from Sho in the other one too, and it's not quite as good....But Kame...Kame's is in this one, and it's superb. Yes, SUPERB.

Almost....done....DONE! It's is five of midnight! I FINISHED!

...Now...the task of romanizing and translating it....@____@

This will take a while. I'll get back to you.

WOO I JUST SAW HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS!

I must say, I like it a BIT better than the first one, just because Daniel went through puberty and doesn't look so little anymore. Well...not just that.

The action scenes were REALLY good...They might've had a better effect on me, because I was in the second row at the movie theater. The place was packed with families, despite the fact that it was a night showing.

...But yes, I also give credit to puberty.

I must also say...I kinda liked not seeing Hermione the entire time. It's not that I hate her...even though she's like me in some ways...But just having Ron there to make squeaking noises was good enough.

The one part where the basilisk came out of the water at the end made me jump, just because it was so sudden and it was really LOUD. In addition to seeing everything twice as close, it was also probably twice as loud. Maybe even more.

And now, I'm getting quite bored with this entry *the British accent returns!* so I shall be saying ta-ta~

Which Harry Potter Candy are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Ah yes....I jump out of train windows!

I'm doing this other quiz, but I'm forcing it to give me Harry...At first, I got Oliver, which I would be perfectly fine with, but it had no little banner. So I'm trying it again. Ah, here we go....I got it.

Which male HP character are you most compatible with?
brought to you by Quizilla

Harry Potter is your man. Damn straight. All I had to do was change my answer for the one about snakes...I had to talk to it..

I hate these Quizilla things. They mean good, but how slow can you get? I opened the page, left and went to the kitchen and talked to my mom for like, 5 minutes, and it still wasn't done when I came back.

!!!~What Harry Potter Fan Fic Ship Are You?~!!!
brought to you by Quizilla

I suppose you could say that, yes. If there is any couple I support, it's Ron and Hermione. Harry and Hermione is just so weird...

Okay...now I'm addicted to Quizilla, despite it's slowness. Mind you, it took about an hour to realize this.

Even though it has no banner...Just want to say that I did this "What Japanese song are you?" and I got "Feel Your Breeze" by V6. YAY! I GOT A JOHNNY'S SONG! HAHHAHHA...

Okay...nevermind...I changed a couple answers and I got "Dasenai Tegami"...

Funny thing yesterday...I met up with some friends at the Sheraton, because we were checking out the ballroom that we've decided to use for Class Night in May next year. Afterwards, three (out of five) of us went to the mall, which is right across the street. We only had an hour, because one of my friends had to go to work. So we spent the hour in Express...Where they had a crapload of dresses that are REALLY cute. Anyways...they had some scarves and mittens and hats, but the red and gold colored scarf really caught my eye - Gryffindor colors! I didn't buy it, but my mom said we might go to the mall tomorrow, so maybe I'll pick it up this time around.

And now, it has been four hours since I started this entry: about a half an hour of actual writing, an hour for dinner, and two and a half hours of doing just nothing. No, I was actually surfing some sites...

I suppose that's all...all. I'll be back, after I raid Quizilla for some new quizzes...Adios!

About the last entry...I've just decided to turn it in regular deadline. If I don't get in, I'll just blame it on my being the laziest ass on the planet.

I haven't seen "...Chamber of Secrets" yet. I really wanted to go on Friday, but I ended up at Target and Barnes and Noble...My mom said she wanted to nap, so then she left to go nap...and when she came back, everyone was preparing to go out to Target so my brother could get another XBox controller. XP

Saturday, my mom had to go out to take my grandmother to a doctors appointment or something...Or maybe it was just the toy store to get Christmas presents for my cousin. But I'm not sure if they were at the Toy Store for the entire 4 hours they were gone.

I finished "...Prisoner of Azkaban" yesterday. And yeah...I got it on Friday (when I went to Barnes and Noble, I got the whole box set), and finished late Saturday night. Into today (Sunday), actually. It was around 1:30 or 2 when I finished. I really liked it! Harry didn't have to fight Voldemort ("He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"!).

I thought this was hilarious...my grandma got the first Harry Potter to read, because my cousin in California was reading them, I think, and she often will go out and get it if he says its good. So she got it, but of course, she doesn't understand some of the words. She never finished, but she did make a list of vocab from the book that she didn't know. Voldemort was on there, listed as "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". The Dursleys were too, and she described Dudley as some fat boy who eats too much, or something like that...I can't remember.

Anyways...Today, I asked my mom if we could FINALLY go see "Chamber of Secrets" today, but she said that she had to take my grandma out again...First we went to Jo-Anns to get a bunch of Christmas decorations...boring..Then it was off to the Korean market for a crapload of fruits and vegetables. Then Wal-Mart, for some new fish (Wal-mart! You need better service in the pet department. Why am I saying this?)...Then Safeway for a couple minutes. When we got back, it was right before dinnertime...so no time for movies.

I'm thinking I might pester her some more on Tuesday night, or Wednesday. I asked to go last night, Saturday night, and she almost agreed, but said that she didn't want to drive. Of course, nobody else wanted to go and I was already tired and wanting to finish "Prisoner of Azkaban" so we didn't go.

POO.

I'm getting into the Kinki Kids music. I have to go out and find some more songs. I only have 3 - Flower, Jounetsu, and Solitude ~Shinjitsu no Sayonara~.

You know...I hate translating. One day last week, I realized that I had translated one of the Arashi songs incorrectly, and I've been labeling it wrong the entire time. I haven't shared it on WinMX or anything, which would further complicate things...but it's plastered all over this diary...:(

I can now add "Garasu no Shounen" to my Kinki Kids collection.

I saw ***** driving today...It kinda startled me. My mom and I were driving to my grandma's house (***** and my grandma live in the same huge neighborhood...We pass his street on the way to her house). And I was reading (yeah, I don't get carsick) "Goblet of Fire", so when I looked up and saw his car, I was like "!!"...but I bet I was not recognizable.

Did I mention that I went to the play last week? No, I suppose I didn't. This is the 4th consecutive play I've been to. It was REALLY good...Maybe because it was such a small audience - 125 max. All the seats were on the stage, because the play was "A Few Good Men", so they wanted it to seem more courtroom-like. I was in like, the second row, even though I could've nabbed a front row seat if I wanted to. But I didn't. I could see pretty fine anyway. It was good (for me) up until halfway through...Why? Because sometimes, someone would be leaving the stage and then they'd be called back by someone, so they'd stop right at the corner where I could see perfectly. They did that a LOT in the first half, but the second half they were mostly on the other side of the stage, where I couldn't see a damn thing.

I must also mention that the guy who did the character that Jack Nicholson did in the movie...sounded JUST LIKE him. It was scary. He talked just like him, and I'm not sure if it was hair coloring or just the light on his short haircut, but his hair was looking a little grey too. I had to hold back laughing out loud when they said "I WANT THE TRUTH" "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!". I smiled though.

Did you know that the 5th Harry Potter book will be out by next year? Early next year? I heard within 5 months of the release of the "Chamber of Secrets" movie.

*wants to see "Chamber of Secrets"~~~~!* I want to see the part where Lucius goes "Let's hope Mr. Potter is always around to save the day" and Harry goes "Don't worry...I will be". Aww I love Harry. I love Daniel too, but I love Harry.

I got the "Sorcerer's Stone" DVD, and it had little clips and everything from the movie. I enjoyed the little medley of clips for each character, and how Ron's features about 7 consecutive clips of him munching away.

I noticed that Cho (Chang) is a 4th year when Harry is a 3rd year, right? I could be Cho. BWAHAHHAH..ha..haha...ah..no.

The "Sorcerer's Stone" DVD is messed up though...it made me install a whole crapload of stuff...I didn't really mind. But the player that it makes you use is screwed up. So I might just go off and uninstall it. I liked the demo of the Harry Potter game though. The graphics were SERIOUSLY messed up, but I enjoyed it. And they just HAD to make Quirrell stutter. I was sitting there like "Stop stuttering and get on with it you loser!"

If any of you live around here where I do, did you hear about the drug bust? Which included two students that go to my school? Everyone was talking about it last week. I believe they did a car search and one of the two had a bunch of drugs in his car. So now they're arrested. I know who they are, but I shall not release their names. Ha. I actually went to kindergarten with one of them. And sat next to the other in English one year. I don't know why the second one was arrested though...I had never heard of him doing anything bad. He'd probably done some stuff, but he wasn't nearly as bad as the other...Continuing on about the drug thing...I also heard that in Baltimore City, they found some house and in the basement was $100 million worth of PCP. Or some crazy number like that.

Pah..I should get going now. School tomorrow...even thought it's only 3 hours! XP

DAMMIT! #(!_%&!_#%&!_)&%)_*&%!_#&%_!#%%(&_!%&&($)*@^@(&*^$(#@%(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so screwed.

My UMCP application is due 12/1, and I need to get the transcript in...

But to get my transcript, I need my student credential.

And to get my student credential, I had to pick up a form thing from Guidance...WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE.

And we only have 2 (half) days next week, which means if I DID have my student credential, I could turn it in tomorrow and hopefully have my transcripts by Monday or Tuesday...

BUT THEY HAVE NO STUDENT CREDENTIAL THINGS, SO CAN'T GET MY TRANSCRIPT, ERGO I CAN'T GET MY TRANSCRIPT ON TIME.

Excuse me.

FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

It's all the English department's fault!!!! All the Honors English classes did their student credentials in class in September or October!!!! WE'RE NOT DOING THEM UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

AND MICROSOFT KEEPS HARASSING ME WITH STUPID UPDATES.

TODAY SUCKS.

Unless...I can ask the guidance secretary or someone if I can possibly get it by Wednesday (when I don't have school, but I can pick it up)...

*goes off and sulks*

WOW. Yes, WOW. The first fic on the list of Harry Potter fics is a...Draco×Dudley one. SCARY.

By the way...I raked leaves yesterday, and my arms were REALLY sore last night. I came down making a hurt face, and my mom said "Do your arms hurt too?" and told me take some Advil. So I did.

Did I mention that I finished "Chamber of Secrets" on Sunday? Well I did. Not early in the morning, at the time of my last entry. Later in the day.

I forgot that I didn't save the entry that I wrote yesterday...Smack me now.

My grandma wants to go out and see the new James Bond movie (yeah...my grandma), which comes out this Friday...So I proposed that my mom take her to see James Bond (my grandma can't drive), while I go see "Chamber of Secrets"! I hope it will work out...And I won't have to sit in between 30 million kids...And endure crying babies. Seriously now, who brings a BABY to see a movie? Maybe if it were like, a Sesame Street movie which is supposed to enrich their minds (ahh what am I saying)...

Cold...Hungry...Harry-Potter-Withdrawl....Bored......

Ahh finally I get some time on the computer...

Yeah, it's late, but still!

On Thursday night, I finished "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", so now I'm on "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Then today, I watched the first movie. I have to finish the second book (which I will probably finish by Monday or Tuesday) to see the movie.

So let's see...what have I done the past 2 days? Yesterday, I fell asleep really early...11:00 I think it was. Actually, before that. I fell asleep on the couch, and then mom woke me at 11 and I went to my room.

So this morning, I woke up at 9:30...Watched some TV...played some Animal Crossing (Haven't played in 2 weeks...I had massive amounts of cockroaches in my house! I had to kill them all. And then all the animals were mad at me because I haven't played in such a long time). Ate lunch...fell asleep again (so tired..?), and woke up at 6:30. I had just missed the Harry Potter behind the scenes thing on HBO. It was on at 6...I caught the end of it the other day...

So about the movie...yeah, it's been out for like...a year, and I never saw it. :P My brother watched it with me, and I was like "That wasn't in the book...they did it like this". I've been wanting to talk with a British accent all night.

HOLY CRAP (in a British accent)!! I did NOT know there were 48595 Harry Potter fics at Fanfiction.net. Did not know. But I won't read them. It will distract me from the main stories.

I must get back to "..Chamber of Secrets"! Ta-ta my pretties.

May I just say that I hate today? Yes. Today is hated. It is the 13th, but not a Friday. Why is that? This sucks.

Pokemon is on the Cartoon Network now. My brother informed me of that a minute ago.

I've been reading Harry Potter. I read a lot last night. You see, my cousin lent me the first two books last year (last Christmas, I believe), but after a couple of months, the only progress I made was the first chapter in the first book. But yesterday, two of my friends were discussing the movie and the book and the whole story, and how much they loved it, and I couldn't say anything. So I started reading. I got up to the part where he's on the train to the school, and he just met that Draco guy again...I hear it gets really good soon, so I shall continue reading.

I heard that Ya-Ya-Yah was in NY to shoot a CM a while ago. Or something. So if you saw 5 little boys under the age of 15 that didn't speak any English and were...making a commercial...it might've been them. I make no guarantees though.

Well now, I'm going to go off and read more chapters of Harry Potter...Because...There's nothing else to do on the computer. And there's nothing on TV. And I want to lay in my bed...XP

IT'S FRIDAY!

I GET TO STAY UP LATE TONIGHT!

I GET TO STAY UP LATE TONIGHT ON A DOWNLOADING SPREEEE!

Enough caps.

I've been looking forward to the weekend. Looking forward to the weekend very much. Very very much...

O_______________O!!!!!!!!

According to Quiter, a Japanese website, Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase is considering creating a sequel to the incredibly popular and much-loved Final Fantasy VII. Kitase hopes to continue the story of Final Fantasy VII, and many other staff members are inclined to agree, including Tetsuya Nomura, the character designer for the later additions to the series.
However, Kitase indicated that they did not want to let down scores of impassioned fans with a sub-par sequel. With this in mind, the team has hesitated to make any definite plans for the game.

PLEASE DO! PLEASE DOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

It'd be nice to see the FFVII characters make a comeback in some way...

Though it seems a lot of people oppose this idea...XP Don't worry, I support you Square!

Hungry....bored...hungry....bored...hungry...bored....

SO MUCH HOMEWORK AHHHHHH

Latin...Calc...Spanish...ENGLISH....I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE. AHH..

But nevertheless, I shall waste my time writing another entry here, just because I love to.

My entry yesterday was really long, wasn't it? I bet I've had longer, but that was a lot longer than normal. Even I admit it.

Now I just totally screwed up Trillian..Great..Anyways...I put myself on my buddy list, and changed my buddy icon, but when I went to IM myself...the buddy icon didn't change to the new one. So I deleted it. Not the picture, the ICON itself. The .ico file. And now all that appears is a black box. So..I'm screwed.

So now I'm thinking up a new screenname.

If only "kimmay" wasn't taken.

Anyways...Last entry, the song I said that I forgot how much I loved was "A Day in Our Life". THIS time, it's "Fragrance" by Gackt. SO PRETTY. I could just cover an entire room in dark red satin, light some candles and incense, and listen to this song. That would be the perfect environment. For some reason. Maybe invite Yamapi...or *****....Okay, out of fantasy world now.

I also forgot to mention that I downloaded two KinKi Kids songs. "Flower" (because it was in the "Super Hit Medley"!), and their new single, "Solitude ~Shinjitsu no Sayonara". I really wanted "Garasu no Shonen", but no one had it...

Today, after school, I watched "Someone Like You"...that movie that, I bet, no one saw. It had Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman in it. Okay...maybe some people saw it. But I thought it was cute! Except the fact that she cries like, every 5 minutes. But you gotta love Hugh...

Urge....to...play....Kingdom....Hearts....

I saw the commercial for it like, all weekend. It was weird. The first time I saw it, it was like, 2 weeks after it came out. Now it's like a month and it's everywhere! And I'm suprised they show Ansem in it. Ansem sucks, do you know that? He just sucks.

Dude, it was weird in English class today. My teacher's southern accent REALLY came out today, because she was mad. It's like how Mina-P says that Okada's Kansai accent comes out when he's frustrated. IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT. I always knew she had one, but it was VERY distinct. She was yelling at some boy because he said we had too much work..and used "inappropriate" language.

Did I mention that I have A LOT OF HOMEWORK?

I'm probably only halfway done. And it's quarter of 7 (yeah, I've been writing this for almost 2 hours).

Just getting started on Calc...I can finish during dinner. Then Spanish...Then type up two things for English. Joy! I'm almost done. The Spanish will be easy (coughcoughbackofthebookcoughcough). English, might take a while, but that's okay! That is A-OK.

Almost time to go eat (and do calc) so I shall wrap this up right about now. SA-YO-NA-RA MI-N-NA-SA-N! (Bye everyone) (...or is it minna-san sayonara? Need to study more Japanese..)

Listening to: Arashi - A Day in Our Life

I always forget how much I really do love this song. One of these days, I'm going to translate it and love it even more ^_^

Last night, I went on a SMAP downloading spree. Yes SMAP. Not on WinMX though. Because everyone has something but are queued beyond belief (even those who supposedly have 0 in queue! How do they do that? I click on them and it says they really have 100+ in queue...). So I took to the net instead. I even got the ending from an episode from LAST NIGHT. That's how quick these people are.

Kimura Takuya is so cute...if only he wasn't married and a father. He seriously acts like the biggest kid. It's scary to know he's a father.

It's scary...I'm getting into all the older Johnny's groups. What about Yamapi!? What has he been doing??! I NEED NEWS!

And now, I just got the full version of Pika*nchi. Or so I think. I noticed when I was looking at some lyrics of it, and half of the lyrics did not show up when I was listening. hahhaa~ Of course, all you get is an additional verse, and a variation of the chorus and bridge...and that's it. But I wanted it anyway! I'd just like to say, that Sho does not seem so drugged on the second verse. Or the third and fourth...(*_*)? Depends on how you look at it.

WINMX IS RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see, I was downloading an Arashi MP3, and as one of the newer features, the program will search for users who also have the song on its own. BUT THEY GO BY THE FILE SIZE! So I'm getting it from random people, and the person who was downloading from for about 10 minutes, it turns out it wasn't even the right thing! I went to listen to it and it was R&B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!!

*calms down*

Anyways...I got some clips from SMAP×SMAP. Specifically, 8. Each are about 2 minutes long. 5 from Bistro Smap, 1 from...I don't know what it's called (Smap dresses up as little school children and compete against little boys in a little grammar/spelling game), 2 from a song performance. The Kid game was the funniest. What they had to do was give a word with two of the given kana (the first part was "ma" and "ku", the second was "i" and "ku"). Shingo messed up once both times ("tobaku", "kuishi"), and Tsuyoshi once on the second time ("iku--?"). Kimutaku kept acting like the big know-it-all who would always shoot back with something after hearing something good from the boys. Nakai went like, 5 times and didn't mess up at all.

I hear that Shingo can speak English. LOL I want to hear...Surprisingly, I learned this at a Takki & Tsubasa site, in which Shingo congratulated them on their "marraige".

You know what I've noticed? That various Johnny's, when singing, hold the microphone right up to their mouths, and their index finger is right there under the nose (or on the lip). I HATE THAT. Aiba does that, and so does Jimmy...I've noticed that others do it, but not quite as often. Most of them just hold it right at the top. Maybe it's their way of measuring just how far it is away from their mouth so it's not too loud...but still...I can't stand it. It's especially bad when you're trying to figure out what they're saying, and you can't look at their mouth to read their lips.

Kazama and some of the others are quite good at not letting the microphone or their hand get in the way. Yamapi is almost there, but often holds the microphone so the end is hanging in the air, and you miss the rest of his face. Takki's good...Tsubasa's really good, actually (I actually noticed one instance in which he did do it, but it was many many years ago).

Are you amazed that I notice these things?

AHH HASEJUN DID IT TOO! NO! He did the finger thing in the "Natsu no Kakera" performance from June (6/9). He does it twice! He does it for like, half the song! AHH And the U-wa U-wa performance from April (4/21)...

I suppose they do it subconciously.

Ah today is the last day of the 4 day weekend. ENTIRELY TOO SHORT! Now I must wait 3 weeks until I get another break. Thanksgiving break.

And college applications...*shakes head*

OH DEAR...PHEW. Oyy that was close. Thank God for that automatic backup of files on my Japanese word processor...

You see, I typed up all the kanji and lyrics from the "Johnny's Super Hit Medley" (if you have this, you know it consists of about 12 song bits and the whole clip is about 13 minutes. So what I did was try opening it up in various editor programs, and when I saved it in Wordpad (not Notepad), it changed all the characters to question marks. Thankfully, the Japanese word processor makes a back up of the file, and I used that to change it back. *wipes forehead*

It's not done anyways. I'm still missing some kanji...Does anyone know where I can find lyrics to some of the Hikaru Genji and Shonentai songs? They're impossible to find...

Yeah...and believe it or not, I have abandoned this entry for approximately 5 hours. Please excuse me while I bang my head against a nearby wall.

The internet was on and off yesterday...but this morning, it seemed perfectly fine! I hope it doesn't go out anymore.

Yesterday, I went to the mall. My intentions were to look at dresses for prom (yeah, it's about 6 months away...), but instead, I got a watch (from Fossil) and boots (from Wet Seal. $19!!).

Listening to: V6 - Ai no Melody (Long Long aGO!GO! Mix)

I HAVE INTERNET! I HAVE INTERNET!!!!!!

*ahem*...

The rain ruined our cable connection, so we were without digital cable and internet. And it REALLY sucked, because I had a project due today. I was planning to use the net to find some pictures, but I had to resort to Encarta instead. I did it, anyways.

Does it surprise me that ***** has the lead in the play AGAIN? Nope. Not one bit.

Eh....Eh...? Don't know what to say next...eh..

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Simple and Clean

"...announced that Tomohisa Yamashita's the next Jr Leader!!"

This is from a yahoo group that I'm in...It was announced at Takki and Tsubasa's (or should I say..Tackey or Takky or something?) "graduation".

Anyways...I'm really glad! He deserves it. He's been alongside Takki and Tsubasa for so long, and now he's finally the top leader. Woohoo!! I'm sure he and Toma will have the same kind of partnership that Takki and Tsubasa had.

I'm reading more about the concert now...

"Takki, Kattun, KKKity, and 4-Tops all strip their shirts off and dance half-naked on the mainstage."

O.O

Listening to: Johnny's Jr - Kokoro no Kagami

I just ate some jello. J-E-L-L-O. Strawberry Jello. But of course...it didn't taste like much. I should've had some pudding.

Why do we have all this? For my constantly-in-pain brother who can only eat soft foods. I single-handedly made 4 boxes of jello for him. Fortunately...When I asked if I could have some, he said okay. :)

Mmm...pudding. When I first tried it (I'm talking about the snack pack pudding), it wasn't good at all. But I like these. Maybe the first one I had was a different brand. Because I had it at my uncles house in CA.

Snack packs make me think of "Billy Madison".

Speaking of dumb comedies (though I usually find them funny anyways), my CRD teacher said we were going to be watching "Office Space" next week. I don't think he fully realizes the consequences...

Argh...I'm supposed to go to the Faculty-Student basketball game tonight...but no one who can drive is home at the moment. Yeah, it's only my brother and I. It's at 7....hmm...

Maybe I should go shower.

My top lip feels all chapped. But it's not. It just feels like it. RRGH.

Played some AC again after school. My brother created a new town on another memory card. So we each have a house in both of the two towns. So I visited the opposite town with each of my characters. It was really weird, because these two animals, one from each town, moved to the other. I was really confused. I saw one of them and I was like "wait a sec...don't you live in 'blah'?" (blah is the name of one of the towns). So then I went back to 'blah' and I found an animal from the town I had just been in. So...yes...weirdness.

Dude, have you noticed the hostility towards the sniper guy? Everyone at school the other day was like "The snipers were on their way here!" because the rest stop that the caught them is on the highway, which is about 2 minutes from my school and my house. Supposedly. Time-wise, it was about a half an hour away. Just like the Bowie shooting. That was about a half an hour away too.

Anyways...the news is interviewing various townspeople, and they're all like "He should get the death penalty immediately", and one guy was even like "They should execute him PUBLICLY!". I was like "no no! I don't want to see someone executed!! *shudder*".

Pudding...*___*

"12.04 'lunch no jyoou' video/dvd release "

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Will buy must buy will buy must buy will buy must buy will buy must buy.

I found this on a V6 page, because apparently Go is in it. I don't know why. Because, of course, I haven't seen it. But I did see some caps of him and Yamapi crouching behind a counter with Go on a cell phone...?

Today sucked. I am feeling miserable. Luckily, I got my space on the couch back. After playing about an hour of Animal Crossing, I took a nap until dinnertime.

XP

Me likey the guitar at the beginning of this song. Me no likey the background chanting and Sho's odd singing like he's drunk.

My brother got his wisdom teeth out today, so he's all drowsy and tired and stuff. AND HE TOOK MY SPOT ON THE SOFA! So I'm currently searching for a new place to nap. I don't like my room. It's cold and uncomfortable.

Played some Aminal Crossing (yes, I meant to do that). My house has been remodeled. But it's costing me 148,000 Bells!!!! NOT COOL, Tom Nook, NOT COOL AT ALL. That's going to take an ETERNITY. I only bought the house for 19,000!

I realize that I haven't been playing much Kingdom Hearts lately. It's because Ansem and Phantom can kiss my lazy ass!

Today at school was okay. 1st period, we had a test. I got a 92. But I have 100% (before this test) in that class so it's okay.

2nd period, we got our tests back and he checked the homework...which I didn't finish. But luckily, he handed this crossword out which I was able to take the vocab definitions from before he checked mine...So only a few points were deducted...We also got back our tests that we took last class. I got a B. 88% to be exact. I actually had one corrected. But I think I still have an A. Then, we watched a video on the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and the pyramids and stuff.

3rd period, English, I had a summer reading test. Would you like to know why I'm lucky?

Because I spent an hour and a half last night reading the last 100 pages. I was very proud of myself! The book is only 212 pages or so, and I did half the book in one night. The book itself sucked though...

Anyways...I had a test, and I think I did pretty well. I wrote a lot on the essay, but I think I was pretty repetitive. Too bad.

I also did all my work for that class, which is a little rare. I hate English, just so you know. But I did it all...

4th period, I aide. So that was nothing..

And I did all this with a cold. Yes, a cold! I am feeling quite miserable right now. My throat hurts...and sometimes my head hurts...but yes! I have a cold!

You know, I realized that Toma's voice is a bit cooler than Yamapi's. It's not nasally like Yamapi's, but when not hitting hight notes, they're practically the same. But Yamapi is cute...and cute...and MORE CUTE. So I shall never give up on him.

I like the "Yokubou no Rain" performance. Toma wears...a glove. A single glove.

...That is all, my friends.

Saa~

After 3 days of playing Animal Crossing, I have paid off all of my debt to Tom Nook! Yay! My remodeled house will be ready by tomorrow...I can't wait. MORE SPACE! YES! I need it very much. My brother also moved into my town (which is named "blah"). Unfortunately, he's not making so much progress...Why?

Well...because (1), I'm usually playing before him, so I get all the hidden daily goodies before him, and (2), I started my game a day before he did, so I did a lot of the errands for the townspeople, and now they don't have nearly as many.

lollll I'm watching this performance of "U-wa U-wa" from the Shounen Club episode from 9/24 (I believe). It's really funny, because on one stage, there's KATTUN, and on the other, there's Four Tops AND Jimmy. And so on that stage that Four Tops is on, they're doing all their regular dance moves. But there's Jimmy right behind them, in the center. They all kinda have to dodge him when doing some moves, and while they're doing all these things, Jimmy's just standing there. Really tall Jimmy...just standing there.

And you know, I always thought those stages were connected, but I didn't think it was possible because then the camera wouldn't have anywhere to go. But they really are connected! The camera is on a crane thingy...Floating. (sorry, don't know the camera terminology)

I think I'm coming down with a cold...It's either from the cold temperatures that have plagued the area for a week, or...the fact that my 3-year-old cousin sneezed on me on Friday. She was right in front of me, and we were doing a Hello Kitty puzzle together...and BAM~! She sneezed on me. I could feel it...*yuck* It was more on my arm than anywhere else, but still...

Maybe I should stop sickening everyone with the sickening details.

Wahh I don't want to go to school tomorrow. 3 day weekends are not enough! Friday was the only day we have off this month. Not cool. Definitely not cool.

Bah.

As you can see, I've archived my blog here. It was getting very crowded.

I'm also trying to figure out how to get a new and stylish layout here. New and stylish to me means graphics and more HTML things...But to include graphics means to host them somewhere else! And unless I buy a domain or have someone host me (of course those free-hosts do not allow hot-linking). So I'm kinda stuck right now.

If you missed a couple entries or just want to go back and read some of my ramblings, please go here.

Hey, I didn't realize that the entire last archive was this summer. If you read the first entry, it says that I had just turned a senior. And now I am a full-time senior.

Anyways...I'll be going now, to see what I shall do.
