T_T haaa... I just finished watching Mononoke Hime. The first time I watched it I had to deal with Chinese subs, which proved to be quite useless, with Studio Ghibli always hiring more natural speaking voice talents and all. But the 2nd time around I actually get it now. T_T Sugee eiga da ne.

After that interesting bit... I've been getting an extremely large amount of sleep done, and an extremely little amount of work done. So far this week I've been sleeping for 34 hours, and doing work for like... 0 hours. X_x

Kiiix??? Doushiyouuu?! I don't want to go as JUST a CCS group~ Let me crossplay as something else. =_= We were discussing in bio about regions of the brain that stimulate different senses, and how patients of brain surgery would give accounts of how they saw scenes from their life during surgery. Gave me a twisted idea. Hmmm. Can't you trap someone in a maboroshii-type thing and have them continually stuck in their past by playing with their senses? And in this case, I suppose the whole Subaru-linked-up-to-beast thing would work...

np: Blinkachu and Takahashi-sensei's annoying wailing =D Now in the Japanese class using the compi. =D Kinda bored. Kinda annoying. Finished all my history tests today, and did decently on the math quiz. Yesterday I turned in my application to Mitsuwa and so they'll call me after sending fax of my info to HQ in LA, and after that, BAITO HAJIMARU!

to... I don't even have a shinai yet, and sensei says I can't get one until after 2 months, or until the expensive dealers turn up at the next tournament which I don't wanna buy from. So I guess I'll give mimi $30 or so and have her get one for me. X3

Toro~ Toro~ Doko demo ISSHOU~ XD

All I can hope is that when we get our ass to AX, Eriol won't be swamped by crazy fangirls. ::sigh:: Hopefully.

I also met pekkle's sister. She offered to do the mahoujin on the back of Eriol's cape for me, and try as I might to refuse, she wouldn't let me. =_= Considering she WANTS to do it, and is totally looking forward to it, what can I say. But HAIII! Kendo was funnn. I guess I did pretty okay considering some of the instructors didn't know it was my first time picking up a shinai >_< OMOI!!! For me anyway. The only thing that wasn't so good was that Yamaguchi sensei thouht I was a guy... =_= what's up with "...onna? Otoko no ko mitai..." "eh?" "hey, go back to practice." =_=

So now I shall proceed to fill out my job application and study some math, and sleep at midnight or something. =3

ding dong oh well all's well. =P We finished the manga today, and if I draw another anime thing, it won't be in a whole week. I'm weighed down enough as it is with that Sakamoto Maaya picture in Art.

I have a crapload of homework. Nasty tests tomorrow. Benkyou benkyou benkyou shinakereba naranaiiiyo~!!! Ah, sou ieba, ironna henna hito tachi wa boku no nikki wo miru koto ga hen nandeshou.. o_O;

Stupid Harry/Eriol image.

Damn that Harry Potter book.

Damn Kix for not letting me get a clean getaway with the 2nd novel I ended up fumbling up the stairs and scratching me with her gaki-length fingernails.
Oh I'm slippery.

I've NEVER woken up on a Sunday morning before, but now I have to! AUGH! I can't imagine life as a mangaka in the future! 9 straight hours of drawing! ;_; Ugh. Me and Kix both wanted to cry. We're still not done yet, and my drawing skills are being beaten to a pulp as I speak. Nooo~! We still have more translations, 18 pages of penning and shading, and retouching up to do! And it's due on Monday!!! GRAH!!!

I borrowed Kix's Harry Potter, the first one I think. 'Sorcerer's Stone'. I'll get around to reading it sometime. But not now. 4 tests to make up on Monday. I'm BEEF. T_T

After a long depressing week of stressing and studying, today we went to the Defense Language Institute or whatever in Monterey, which ended up being pretty boring. We bought food, and I never did get to have my Korean BBQ. ;_;

Anyhow, I was really groggy when I got back and gave myself a hair cut and shower, and finally paged Akuma and we went to pick up Kenji to go to Mitsuwa. I put the reprints of Duklyon on hold, and then ::gulp:: went to go about applying for a job. >_<

...

In any case, after a whole lot of uncomfortable silence, I get to be cashier. For $7.50 an hour from 3:30-8:30 after school. Tehehe. XD Heheheheh.

So afterwards I bought the Duklyon to celebrate. XD

Let's get away from that depressing topic. I woke up and watched some Trigun. (Wow Vash the gallant hero) I checked CLAMP site today. Angelic Layer 4 is out. Along with all the Duklyon/Mensou/Miyuki reprints which I don't have yet. And Gouhou Doraggu 1 is coming out June first.

(why is it I've been listetning to FF so much lately? o_O;)

Went out to Golfland to-day and played more Get-off-the-machine-and-let-me-play-before-you-fail game. I also got to try Pump. And I'm better at it than I first thought. See?? DDR and Pump players ARE transitional. er... some of them. But I'm not touching Guitar Freaks again. =P bleh. Had dinner at Sushi Boat and got free Starbucks courtesy nasty-12-hour-STAR-testing... for three bucks it's not worth it, but at least we get SOMETHING.
So of course mom gets upset at me when I get back considering I was bawling at her last night not wanting to waste 14 hours at a nasty church retreat today and ended up playing instead of studying. But I'm studying now. At least.

I'm also having Starbucks. =3

np: Final Fantasy VIII - 'Fragments of Memories'

It's sickening to think how much disturbance a 5 hour church retreat can bring up. It's not a matter of 'sharing' religion, it's one of social attitude. It's clear to see that in today's society, if you bring up something about Christ or angels and even attempt to sway someone's 15-20 year upbringing, you'll undoubtedly be tagged as some sort of fanatical evangelist. For one, you're disrespecting everything that person was brought up to believe. For two, no one likes a self-righteous egotistical pompous who thinks their religion is the one and only.
Which is why I choose to keep religion something of a personal matter. If situation deems it unnecessary to be brought in, then it won't be brought in. And so far, *nothing* has ever required me to bring it up, spare the one special case where my own beliefs were being used to discriminate against me. Also because of my own personality, I prefer not to 'share fellowship' with strange peoples who I won't ever see again in my life. It's not as if I didn't make an effort to make something out of it. Give me something to try and by all means, I'll try it... but one can _not_ require me to give the expected reaction or opinion. It's simply common sense.

And no. I am not going back there today.

np: Final Fantasy IX- 'Melodies of Life'

Star testing sucks. XP I've managed to save up $125 in the period of a month. Considering this is me we're talking about, I'd say that's REALLY good. =3 But lately it's been college stuffs.

I was asking Mr. Post about how typical it was for art college prospectives to stay back a year assuming their portfolio isn't ready. There are some advantages, he said, like for instance, a whole year without school. This gives time for working on making a sophisticated portfolio, get personal projects done (like sites for instance), time for work, kendo, and maybe studying abroad. Or since art colleges transfer academic class credits, there's a favorable option of getting each class out of the way for $15 a unit at a community college as opposed to $900 at the art college... =P

I do realize that even though I'm managing a 3.8 GPA that I'm not supposed to even be a junior in the first place, and by the time I turn 18 it'll already be the second semester of freshman year in college. So staying back a year doesn't sound too bad...
... but knowing my half-brained self... I dun wanna stay baaack~!!! >_<
