ah. so back from spring break. I haven't eaten for 13 hours so I'm up eating (alas i give in to late night food, how bad ;_;) I think I had some bad food or bad milk tea today so my stummy was feeling unsettled- but I feel better now - but typical of me: I got nothing drawn or colored, and so as a last ditch effort last night to get things done or feel productive, I rearranged all the posters in my room, sewed butt pockets on Sora's jumpsuit and figured out how to fix his shoes... and figuring out exactly HOW to do something is half the battle! I'll just keep telling myself that. But anyhow, back at the apt and went on a major cleaning rampage as soon as I walked in cos this place stinks and is gross as hell.
But I mostly cleaned up immediately cos T_T
T_T
*sniff* ;_;
anyway. T_T I'll get over it. *sigh* and after an hour of wrestling with my poor dying MD, we now return to your regularly scheduled life...

Yesterday got my hair fixed. It wont stand up. for ANYTHING. ARGH.
today, left for SF to go take notes for class at MoMa and then hit Jtown with rene and met up with meimi there, like, omg haven't seen her in SOOO LONG??? 2002?? Yeah, much fun XD We hit kinokuniya and i picked up pekkle's softcore porn for him ^^;; DOAEV photobook. >_> we had the foodings and crepes and yayyyy for catching up X3 Too bad you aren't here X< *shakes fist*
Afterwards me and rene went to go see Eternal Sunshine (?) that I heard from peoples is soooo so good. Except I was more confused than anything after the film, which was admittedly good, but I think the loopholes just left me sort of disappointed... Like how they met up again afterwards! Maybe if I didn't think so much...!
One more (?) day of Spring break. Haven't got Sora fixed, haven't colored any piccies, haven't worked on much at all...woopty doo. >_>

let's 5!
My day~~~
today jack and pekkle came over to pick me up! :D Pekkle wants to buy my HDD as an addition to his PS2 because he thinks just the fact that a PS2 has a HDD is sexy! But jack wont let him buy it off me cos he knows he'll start playing FFXI XD; So they are still debating that.
We went to fresh choice for foodings and it was really good, i was surprised cos I haven't eaten there in a long time and i ate a helluva lot :B I even had dessert. Afterwards we hit blockbuster but didnt pick up anything anad went back to pekkle's to watch Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark! When I was little I only remember 2 scenes from that, or any other Indiana Jones movie. So I wanted to rewatch all the indy movies since a while ago, so it was cool that I finally got around to doing that :3
After watching jack get owned by pekkle on SCII he realized we didn't watch the Hikago special yet, so we watched that. It was a lot of fun cos the whole time we just sat there cracking soooo many AkixHika jokes. "KISS", "DO IT!" "goddamn akira needs to stop wearing purple", "hikaru looks like he's saying 'don't rape me'","ENISHI CAN PLAY GO! JUST PUT THE GLASSES ON
HIM!" and yeah. it was entertaining. and Yashiro is hawt! XD until i realized it was midnight and i was like holy crap i needa go hommmme!
Oh Oh jack bought me and Kix the cuuuuuutest gifts! I will take pictures later because he demands them, but he got me a fluffy yellow bath towel with a ducky hood and ducky feet on it!!!!! It's SOOO CUTE! it TOTALLY will match my apt. bathroom cos my bathroom is all rubber ducky stuff!! And he got kix the same thing in pink but it's a bunny :D XD~~~ EEEEEE!!!!
^_^ yah hi. was a enjoyable day. Also awesome cos I found a couple people on LJ and yay~ long time no talk.
pekkle burnt tenipuri 1-105 onto dvd and let me borrow @_@ like, wow. Finally fate is letting me watch Tenipuri! After like 3 years!! He is also lending me Suikoden III, his copy wasn't even open. So it looks like I have another game to play until KH CoM and Tales of Symphonia comes out.
So in other news, since before I got back home I was suddenly struck with
the inspiration to animate something - which is really strange because I
went into this major to try it out and after learning a bunch of different
techniques and (there's so much to animation i don't know where to begin) I
figured eh. I'm thrilled with the anticipation of how this is all going to
look when I shoot it and roll it and see it in actual motion, but that
actual drawing of every individual scene is boring and I don't want to do
this. But for some reason I really really really want to animate. And I
tried punching out ideas but I know if I'm going to do something great, I
can't just start from nothing.
But while I was cleaning my room yesterday I found a sketchbook I kept from
2000 to 2001, and it had the story notes from July 29th, 2001 for a comic
that me and mirae were originally going to work on together, but fell
apart. I didn't think I still had those notes, so after reading them, I
didn't want to throw good ideas to waste. So I've retyped them all up and
worked on it until 4 in the morning fixing this and that, and punched out
something decent. It might be chance, it might me something else. But I got
inspired and now I have something to work with! I can't wait.

Tuesday, March 23, 2004 | 04:59 p.m. np : Some Shenmue remix
its so nice and sunny here at home in SJ =| not like it's all fogtastic and stuff in SF and such, where I went with Rene, Matt, & Ami for the FFXI release party.
But before all that... My weekend!
I got Wayne to take me to the airport on saturday, but before that we hit up Book Off and Kinokuniya, where I (finally) got Tsubasa 4 (both of them) XXXHolic 2, HxH 8, and DNAngel 10. I started following DNAngel way like, in 1999 or 2000? and I can't remember what happened in the past 9 volumes, so now when I read it everything's really fragmented. That makes me kind of sad o_O But o well. Finished reading all that shtuff at the airport and on the plane, and passed out at home on my own bed~ yay~
On sunday I went out with family and since Rene and her siblings was gonna come get me, I had to leave some dinner thing early. So i got car keys from my dad but he failed to give me the house keys as well, sooo I was locked out of my house for like 20 minutes ^^ which was really, really gay. not to mention neither my mom and dad had their cell phones turned on, but eventually that got fixed and left for rene's.
We hit Jtown for lunch and the Sakura outside in the plaza were reaaaaaaaally pretty!!! So we took some piccies on our phones, cos rene forgot her camera XD;; the good food places were all closed =[ so we bought stuff instead- rene got her Happy Sun-san plush and I got XXXHolic 3 and then food coma and then to metreon.
At the Metreon, we saw Mikey and Helen and oh my gawd it was terrible, cos as Al put it, there was fanboy funk. I wanted to cry ;_; what is so HARD about taking a SHOWER??? T_T rahhh. We wandered around n stuff and went inside the PS store, and it was veriveri boooring and they gave no free stuff =B buttt we saw Mich and Kim there~! And that was cool. overall the entire event was watching people who i bet came in with the intention of logging onto their charas to play, play preleveled demo charas, stand around, feeling up extemely happy PSone controllers, chat, and all that. It didn't get remotely entertaining till the cosplay judging ^^ It was really really good cosplay for a Metreon Event, but it also helps that Recca was the weekend right before, i'm guessing. Yaaay.
Also, I got the FFXI HDD shipped to me...
(click to enlarge)
This is a 40 GB HDD for PS2 that, as far as I know, comes preinstalled with FFXI on it, but you still need the Network Adaptor to use it. And I don't plan on playing FFXI, and I'm going to ebay it pretty soon. But if you or anyone you know is interested in purchasing it, I'm willing to sell it for less than listed retail, which is $99 (i won't charge tax =x) So like yah. Ask yer friends, and all that jazz- cos this thing is collecting dust. >.>
And thats about it.

My brother came by yesterday before driving home for his spring break, got to see him finally ^_^ We went to the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney for dinner and had really yummy food. That's 2 nights in a row i've eaten out, but some of my fridge food is going bad... >_< ugh. I rushed my illustration homework last night and slept at 6 a.m., fully knowing oniichan was gonna wake up at 9 something and say bye~ but I'm a dork, and i got woken up this morning by oniichan bashing Yoshi in my face. Thank you, oniichan >_>
I got out of class today and when I walked out, it was all white everywhere and the entire canyon was filled with mist! It was crazy, and it made me so nostalgic of when I went to Hakone around this time in 2002. The sky was all white, all misty and rainy, and the clouds were blowing by really fast. All the trees on the mountains were so green, and peaking through the forest here and there you could see small patches of steam drifting up towards the sky, from all the hot springs scattered throughout the mountain. It was really pretty. I really want to go back again, so much that it's affecting my dreams so often. I've had so many dreams of going back that I have to pinch myself in the dream to remind myself that it's not real... but soon I always forget and it doesn't help, so that when I wake up, i'm always sad and disappointed again...
Lately' i've been thinking about what i'm going to do when I get out of school. I hear from all my teachers about all the seniors getting good word from companies like Disney and Pixar, and that's what I said I wanted to do too, to do exactly what the seniors are doing. But I don't know anymore... I remember a time in high school that I didn't want to settle for just that. Career day left me disappointed because there were no professionals that came to speak which made me feel inspired or interested... I think that as I've gone to school and seen what other people have done, I've gone and convinced myself that that's the best I can hope to achieve. I've just molded myself into what everyone else is working towards, and made their successes my ideal success. What has happened to me? I didn't used to want this, have I just told myself that what I wanted before was unattainable? That it was just a child's dream? I used to be a dreamer, but now i'm an idealist... being an idealist isn't bad, it puts me grounded and tells me my limits i suppose...
... but I don't want to stop dreaming. No matter how disappointed I'll be when I wake up. I want to keep on dreaming. Because maybe one day I will be able to live them.
