What horrible timing. I finished watching Grave of the Fireflies, which just HAPPENS to be about WWII. I was like this the whole time ;;;_;;; No wonder people in Japanese didn't want to watch it again. I don't blame them.

It's ALMOST back to normal schedule again today, with homework and work at SAT class again. But not quite. Not even working on art, and I'm starting to play more video games. Bad phi Bad.

I just attended a mass held for those people who died. And I know I'm young and all... but I think my mom needs to pull herself together. She's breaking down and telling me what I should do for her when she dies, and I probably dont feel it yet. I don't know if I'm decensitized or something, but I still think it's a normal everyday thing. Sure I'm sad but something this close to home er... yeah. Well, Kenji is right about all that. I don't wanna repeat what he said. I just feel like I should be crying but I can't. It's not sad enough for me I guess.

Then again maybe I am decensitized. But then Mom didn't want Dad go to on his business trip to Japan/China/HK and told him to stay home. And of course Dad didn't give her a straight answer, so I asked him what he was going on this trip for.
mom: he's going to go fool around.
dad: ... ^_^
gaki: ...
mom: He knows it too.
gaki: Er. So you want me to say something like "My dad died on a hijacked plane because he wanted to go fool around." ?
dad: ...
mom: see? That was good! ^_^

So it set me pondering on how my life would be if both my parents were gone. I'd either go live with my uncle and ronnie, or I'd keep the house with my adult brother until I got to college, then we'd sell the house. And I think I'd keep on working. But by then it would be almost full-time.

I'd be more sad at school, not talk as much, but I think I'd be more or less okay. Mom's already told me what kind of preparations I should make if she were gone, that and I don't like being unprepared. Take my paranoid AX dreams for example. It irks me. I've already made out my pathetic will: All my manga stuff, cd's and clothes is split amongst kaijuu and akuma, and my markers go to akuma, and that's pretty much it. I don't got much else. =P

So enough about death and death and more death. Today was CLUB DAY! And we sold massive sushi and made massive money (well, I don't know that yet) But we all dressed up and stuff and it was basically real fun and a way to get away from the whole NY thing. And it worked too. We ended up talking a lot of shit about 2 people, one in ROP class heheh and I guess I feel kinda better about it. So since I've gotten home I've been working on the content of Anime Club, since I'm this year's president. I feel like we're going to start out great. ^_^

It's sickening. Those hijackers forced the passengers, including schoolchildren on a field trip, to call their relatives over their cells to tell them they were about to die. And cut off their calls right after. I feel so sick. Yes we talked about it all during school today. I got into my car at 6:50 today and thought it was a joke until I noticed every radio station was broadcasting it. I've heard enough of it. No more.

And yes, I do think to myself that we are a very sheltered people and don't face the reality that this is an everyday occurence in other parts of the world where people wonder the next day if they're house is going to be blown away or not, at least, until NOW. I do think that. And I didn't feel much until I let it sink in tonight. And I still do think that, but I'm no less scared than the rest of America.

Enough about that. Last night I wasn't on at all since I just went home and passed out from 4:30 pm to 6:50 in the morning. In case you were wondering.

Our current list of cosplayers include: Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, Auron, Rikku, wedding Seymore, wedding Yuna. That's 7 people folks. Heidi, thank you SO MUCH for being our YUNA!!! XD Everyone study your characters!

I think I'm going to like friday's for the rest of the year. I go out to lunch everyday with Kix, and then its off to work. Then Tom and Heidi brought me to dinner at Pho's and then we went to golfland for a half-round of golf with some really bitchy pot-smoking white people who were really inconsiderate. So we just played more DDR.

I HATE IT! UGH! This is the FOURTH time I've had those stupid AX dreams where THIS time, I was at AX 2002 and I had no costume, looked through the program guide and didn't recognize ANY GOH, and it didn't make sense at ALL, and for some reason Kathy was being really mean to the cosplayers... And no costume, and no MONEY! It was HORRIBLE! I tried doing the whole "oh yeah this is another fucking DREAM" so I close my eyes in the dream, and then open them again.

And THEN the dream starts to turn bitchy on me and suddenly the whole dream turns so CRYSTAL CLEAR! And NONE of my dreams are crystal clear! And I can see people's faces now! I've NEVER been able to see people's faces! So I get hella freaked out and think DAMMIT I really AM at AX! It made me so SAD!!! ;;_;;

So anyway... To prevent my paranoia, we should all get working on our damn costumes!!!

GAH!!! I just came back from the HARDEST kendo practice I've EVER HAD, because they decided it'd be NICE if I joined in keiko? Anyway Yamaguchi-sensei GAH!!!

"Go MEN!"
Yaaaagh!!! *pik*

all nice. And clean. Shower nice. YAY! Drove to school today ^_^ And might get a parking space, who knows. But yay! Don't know WHY I'm so happy. I mean, who in their right mind would be happy when it's 12 and they got about 4 hours of sleep the night before and still have government homework and still has to plan out forms and meetings because they're officers of 4 clubs?

It must be the nice smelling smoky green leaves~ heeheehee XD

Hrm. Today's classes: Art 4, Art workshop, ROP Art.

It was FUN. =D There are some dumb people in ROP who think they're really important, which is funny. Me laughs at them. Why me so happy? Because! I passed I passed I passed! I passed my license test and missed 8! XD And then mommy went to Costco with me and we bought all the nummy things there for me to eat in the mornings for breakfast. I'm so happy now! XD Now I'm off to go stress my ass off about homework. Damn government and myth. GAH!

why HELLO everyone!!! ^_^ I had a NOT so lovely first-day-of-block-schedule experience today, sitting through 95 minutes of government talking about Machiavelli or whatsis name's outlook on human nature. But enough of that. ROP! Logos! Playboy bunnies! And WORK! Were all... kinda boring but yes! I went straight home and had some lovely lovely FUN! (and tea!)

See, that would explain it now wouldn't it? Juicy-anime + tea & oishii udon = pure bliss! There is no other way to explain it! That and tomorrow I get to SLEEP IN TILL 9!!! OH the JOY!!! Every Wednesday for the REST! OF! THE! YEAR!!! XD XD XD

Okay. See. I'm on Angelic Layer episode 22- And oh what JUICY WAFFY NUMMY episodes 19-22 were! It was ALL about character relationships, and they've JUST gotten to Hikaru vs. Wizard. (please note there are massive filler eps so it doesn't go by the manga at all.) So here we have my favorite character, all nice and sweet and gentlemanly, suddenly turning pimp-master on Misaki, and then he acts like he's about to commit cold blooded murder! WELL! He's still my favorite character and all, but OUJIROU-baby, you have got some ISSUES!

"Sasuga Shuuko-san no musume." x_x

XD Okay so I still don't know yet how Misaki's gunna get past wizard, but it's time to wait another 2 weeks to find out! GO GO GO! To the video store! XD OR until tankouban 5 gets released! EVEN BETTER! XD

I should have tea daily! Somebody SHOOT ME! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!

I'm back from San Diego/LA/Orange county. It all started out with the 10 hour drive down there, staying at the NICE Embassy Suites in San Diego, and helping niichan move into his new dorm. His roomate is really nice and stuff, except he's not niichan's type. You know, metallica, plays an electric guitar, that kinda guy. But I've confirmed one thing, is that going anywhere south of home makes me fall over and pass out. I need 2X more sleep than normal and I'm very very tired. This also explains my lack of productivity while in Tijuana, since I spent about 3 hours lying in niichan's dorm bed out cold.

So then I went with my friend and she got us a little walk-around tour of UCSD. It's pretty. It's just... consisting of 5 colleges put together and... very very big. ;;; Which isn't a BAD thing I suppose but not even our tourguide knew where the heck we parked the car. So then we went around SD shops and just... shopped for niichan's shoes. But we didn't find any good ones.

We all laughed at mommy because she kept on treating niichan like a baby before he left and tried to find every excuse to go back up to his dorm and see him again. Like giving him is sandals. And telling him to eat his vegetables. ;;; I never did get to see Art Center because it was closed, and I didn't see any other places, but I did get a glimpse of Disneyland California Adventure. I think we should so go there after AX next year, and while we're at it, stay in a suite shared by 6 eople at the Hyatt next year too. Much spacier, much nicer, and cheaper no?

But now that I'm home, I feel kinda sad. Spunky kept climbing into the car to look for niichan, but since he's at SDSU, she couldn't find him. And she just kept on looking. It made me really sad. =( So yeah. Other than my parents getting on my case and trying to get me to go to a UC and trying to sway my decision and massively ticking me off, it was a relaxing trip and stuff. Got lotsa thinking done.
