BTW pekkle I still have your Mystery mix CD too. I got my hair permed today. And I shouldn't look at myself in the mirror too often or I'll get nightmares. I mean, it doesn't look bad. I like it. It's impossible to mess up my hair. It's just that I'd rather not get reminded of Professor Snape or Clow Reed whenever I get up in the morning, but anyway. I did lots and have lots to do. I finished watching Trigun. Yayyy. I have to pack.

LEGAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY?!!! He was the COOLEST BAD GUY!!! HE WAS SEKI TOSHIHIKOOO!!! WHYYYYYY!!!!! Vicious was evil but not even HALF as evil as Legato, GAGAGAGAGANGYAAA!!!

Hi. Today was the art field trip ^_^ stony bus rides to SF with Kix are fun. Even though we spent most of the day at the Metreon, I found out I'm not a fine/modern art person, I didn't like anything except maaaybe the Picasso's. Bo-ring. And then it was go out with mommy, getting hair done tomorrow. So you can all see a different phi on thursday. Then Japan meeting, then come home and I would probably be done watching it if it wasn't for a very motherly... mother... forcing me to come to bed at 1:30 GAAAAAAHHHHHHH

It's okay phi, you can finish it tomorrow.

Well today was actually productive! awake 22.5 hours and still going! Let's see when phi passes out! Yes, I still haven't slept a wink since 10 pm last night not counting those 10 minute naps I had in class today but I was really mostly awake and actually, as pekkle and kenji noticed, was losing a bit of my sanity. Vroom vroom. WEEE!!! ^_^ I think my car is rattling so much it sounds like it's falling apart, but nevertheless I drove me and pekkle to Fry's, CompUSA, Vallco, and Joanns and got Heidi's skirt material. Hopefully it pleats loverly. No worries.

And Heidi-darling is BACK! Poor Pekkle-baby has been whining and pining and calling her all night and day, hopefully that poor boy can find some peace of mind in the next few days before the Japan trip. And speaking of which, I got information today about getting a straight perm and mom will let me get one, even letting me skip school after lunch on Thursday to sit in for 5 hours to get it. ^_^ isn't it loverly? Also, tomorrow is field trip to SF Museum of Modern Art (so for such a reason I shall pack), and at 7:00 there's a Japan meeting (pekkle you'd better go ^_^) and we get to find out our host families! Yayyee! So we have to go Omiyage shopping on wednesday and such. So for also such a reason I must pack! And I have suitcase and everything. I have mucho things to get done before this trip, like my year 2000 documentaries, 2001 documentaries, (which I'm working on on the bus tomorrow) (I want curry for lunch!) and notice I have put more space for my entries here? I will get the new layout done before I leave. Even if I must stay up 5 hours till 6 friday morning to finish it. ^_^ Because I suck like that. But it will all get done!

4 days and counting. tick. tick. tick.

WEEEEE! *_*

Hello boys and girls. It's almost 7. I've been up for 9 hours. Yay, isn't that smart of me? I'll be alright. It's really only 6 isn't it. That's probably why it's so cloudy, but okay. I realized a few things today, one of them being that I can only stand being arocund certain people for so long. Like oniichan. ^_^ Thankfully he went back to SD yesterday, so that's that. I also realized another thing.

I'm leaving for Japan this friday.
fuck. ^_^

Subaru: You know, you could be working on your costume, typing, packing, and doing something productive as opposed to staying up until 4 a.m. reading S&S fics.
Me: Oh, like today?
Subaru: Yes, like today.
Me: But... I just love it when Sei-chan is at your mercy begging for forgiveness! He's so cute when he does that. :D

np: Werkstadt : It's a Dream

It's so irritating! Every single person at home is watching TV, BOTH TV's, and I'm trying to get all my college and field trip forms down and it's so distracting! I can't get anything done! My brother is watching Atlantis and my parents are watching some weird film starring Sandra Bullock that I believe is called 'Original Sin' but I can't take my eyes off the TV! And it's making my day horribly worse because I still haven't started my homework. ~_~# UGH! I have to write a journal entry on Dracula (a very good book but I shouldn't ever read that thing at night ever again) and I have an economics test tomorrow I haven't started studying for! (what's new?) And my time deteriorating art project is due tomorrow and I'll get a B in art for sure >_< That's unthinkable! I'm so tired! As soon as I got home from sushi making today I just fell asleep for the hour and a half before the Japan trip meeting at 7:30, where my dad got very overecstatic and enthusiastic about everything and stayed an hour past when everybody had left, talking to Takahashi about his trip to France! And I have 6 hours of work tomorrow!
I need some time T_T
I need some energy T_T
I need, I need... that sleep machine in Chrono Trigger that I can never remember the name of!

Well it IS kind of my fault for coming home and getting my eyes glued to the screen for an hour after the meeting by watching Princess Diaries with my family but I thought that was a bit ironic. Because I was just reading about that movie in a S&S ficcie I read last night (which I accidentally stumbled upon during my bed-time story search, wee!) but I discovered the fic was actually 12 chapters long. What made it weirder is that I only read the last half of it before bed so I stayed up really late (hence why I fell asleep during art, bad gaki) but I still felt that I finished a good story O_O so today I told everyone about it and finished reading the first half in ROP.

And it's absolutely hilarious. XD I enjoyed very much. It has made my favorite list.

It's 12 something now and I think pretty soon my mind is going to quit hyper mode (why are all my sentences so long?) and fail to function on me so I'd better cram in whatever I can do before that happens...

np: DNAngel : Groovy Blue

I finished typing up 14 pages, and I promised I'd finish it today. And ironically, the first version got further on events than what I have now, and this one's longer and more detailed. Niichan says that's a good thing though, so I'm proud of myself. I spent all day writing it. I better not lose it this time.

I think i'm in the "I need time away" phase again, because I really feel it's time to do that when I feel two friends of mine have been acting like complete dumbasses for a week now. I think they know who they are.

I've flipped through last year's and the year before's Newtypes and I found a big seiyuu article on Inoue Kikuko. Pekkle might like this, so I'm bringing it tomorrow. That and the previous issue had an illustration that I'm about 95% sure is done by Adumi Tooru. Only the name on the illustration is Azumi *kanji for Hana and Maru* so maybe she got married and got a name change since December 2000. I think I should probably spend a day flipping through all my old Newtype just to say "hey I watched that!" Because it seems everything I watch nowadays is a year old or more. Like Digi Charat. *looks at article* so kyoot.

np: SPOILER WARNING

I'm sorry. I know I tried to stop myself from leaking too much info about the end of X but.. iyaaa... I just can't get the image of Fuuma with half his face blown off out of my head. They like... unbishified him. I mean, good job Sorata, that was great. That was absolutely incredible. I am so proud of him... but... ugh my god... his entire left side of his upper body was missing... it was actually quite disturbing. Even more disturbing was Nataku's wish. *sigh* I reaaaally liked April installment of Asuka too...

Another random note(s) I forgot, I finished watching Cowboy Bebop and I thought it was really good, despite the fact that my brother ruined the ending for me by giving me a hard time during the last episode simply because I wanted him to be quiet... I took extra precautions today while watching the end of X to make sure he was out of the house. That, and Anime Club raffle today was much more successful than the last time. Must take note to buy more handy-merchandise, the members like tote-bags.

But that is the least of my worries. See, last night I totally fretted and komaru-ed and cried and wailed over my Japan documentary that I had started a week ago. It had been deleted off the laptop's hard drive... and all last night my brother was trying to restore the laptop's hard drive and managed to retrive it, but it's a corrupted word file with none of the original text on it. I stayed up so late I didn't realize I fell asleep in my brother's room... and after all day of checking MSN support, random google sites, WordRecover, downloading numerous programs, and getting Jack's very appreciated help in all this, I'm beginning to lose some hope. I'm actually quite devastated. Maybe not as devastated as the whole UCI situation, but still feeling really bad. I had lots of time to think to myself today, and I decided that it wasn't a matter of losing it... I can always type it all up again since I have the notes to refresh my memory, but it took so much time. I spent days on that thing... I guess it'll be okay to spend more time on it, retyping it up...

... all 12 pages of it...

np: X : Kesshou

I did finish the majority of X today. I tell you the truth when I say I wasn't enthusiastic about it, only when it first came out. After about 10 episodes I started losing hope and wasn't ever crazy enough to get the next episode. I told myself that I'd never ever watch it to the end because I know I'd hate it, and I'm never going to see it on the plane to Japan because guaranteed the whole thing would just be bound to ruin my entire vacation. So I say, put it off, stick it under a mat, don't ever touch it again.

*wipes eyes*

I finished it.
And now Kesshou just makes so much more sense.
I mean. I still do think the anime moved too fast, but I did cry at just about everyone's death except for like, oh, Nataku's... that I thought was ... reaaaally gross... ew... and Satsuki. But I did cry at the last death. Everything that happened after the final battle I thought was absolutely fine. MKR anime had a good ending, CCS anime had a good ending, Angelic Layer TV had a good ending! And all the respective manga endings were good if not better! And they were all different endings but I don't care. I just know this ending is good and I liked it and I cried and it was really good and even if it wasn't very tastefully carried out it, satisfied my one requirement for it- I liked it and it was overall more satisfying than I had originally thought. I thought it was going to be another X movie... So it helps to have low expectations. So now I have to yet again go out and go against what I originally said and burn more cash and buy the DVD's.

I hope a third OST comes out. I want that technoey Sorata/Arashi battle music.

Ha! Pekkle reminded me. I bought April Newtype, yay! And I got to read Satsuki Igarashi's new column in it! Basically, she talked about... anime. It's as fluffy as when they talk about perfume and the air conditioning, but since It's CLAMP, I've just gotta read it.
And X ends at 24 yadda yadda, pekkle going to lend me 17-24 :D sweetie. Might get a better laptop soon. There's new info on Chobits anime which airs April 2nd every Tuesday, and to go with the article there were interviews with Ohkawa Nanase and Hisashi Abe, since he's the chara. designer for Chobits *_* I'm glad because he's a kickass illustrator but I hate it because if I ever meet him again I might die. ^_^ I'm supposed to be happy he signed my X LD already but I luuub. And then there's going to be an Aquarian Age anime where Hishashi Abe is again the chara. designer, and there's going to be Pita-ten anime too! It looks rilly rilly kyooot. Kotarou has light purple hair, I betcha didn't know that.

How typical of me to not get started on any work that's due later today until... well... today. But I suppose researching UCI and all the other schools that sent me fat packets of information was sort of productive. I have to send in all of these "I'm not going to attend" letters. *sigh* I suppose I'll do all that tomorrow.

In the meantime I've been doing nothing but sleeping. Happy Easter everyone yeah? I went to sleep at 5 a.m., a little too late for my liking, and got up a little too early for my liking for Easter >_< So after a nice lunch I kind of... surfed more Sony/Motoscooter/Playstation/laptop information and conked out. Until about 10 p.m. when I woke up and watched TV with my family till like... now...
And I have like... Japanese and Econ homework...
And a fat list of things I didn't do this weekend...
And like... 4 days to cosplay... ^_^;

Okay.
I promised my parents a hard time.
But they seem glad to do it which is also good... but everything worked out in the end. I'm going to UC Irvine. And sure they had their reasons etc and they were all very valid, they even supported that whole guilt trip thing was wrong etc. But YES, I'm going!

And I get a SCOOTER! And I get to wear a helmet and everything~ ;D I still have to do my research and see if they allow it on campus, but! I get $400 to go clothes shopping with friends, to get a new backpack, shoes, sunglasses, and a new watch. And everyone extra MOM pays for it *cackle* I've also chosen my laptop and have to drag dad to Fry's to buy it ^_^ my cute Lan-kun. It sounds like bribery but it's actually not, in the end they HAVE to do it for me or else my happiness *sniff* DOESN'T HAPPEN XD SUCKERS GYAHAHAHAHA~

Ohh the power of being the smarter child in the family ^_~

Mirae, I guess you can go to CSU LA now. Since there's nobody to room with.
No need to comfort me mom and dad. Especially after telling me I'm spoild and ungrateful for my parent's love, care, and support. I don't think I deserve that comfort.
I'm sure I'll be very happy going to UV Irvine.

I'm sure I'll get used to it.

It hurts though.
