GOD! I feel like I'm harassing Geikou-san. I've e-mailed her about a gizillion times. First I was almost sure that Yuki and I were going to the New Sodmy LIVES in July so I asked Geikou about that, and I asked her about the NS video release. Buuuuuut after I e-mailed her I went to look up the locations. And wow look how far away that is from Tokyo. I figured we'd just take the train but oooopppps that's too much money. I may not mind spending that much to see Kamijo-sama but Yuki-chan probably doesn't want to. (no, no it's just too too much to spend! Esp. for a round trip.) *pout* I still want the single and video. I had to e-mail Geikou again (feeling stupid) and tell her that plans were changed due to lack of funding. DAMN that makes me sooo mad. Not at Yuki but just that I doubt we'll get to see Dir en Grey and I wanted to see NS (so much...........) If some how we change plans again I'll feel really really stupid e-mailing Geikou-san again.

To take a break from everything else (and before I begin my sketch of San Matrin fro Latin Amer. Civ) I think I'll just post the latest quiz results:
Really? Everyone loves me..and here I thought that I was the band member that NO ONE cared about...To use this result on your page, copy and paste the following HTML:
Sarcastic FF X character selector
test by Leanne
which CCS character are you?
I don't see how I ended up with Sakura. She's the annoying main female character (that's Yuki's job)^^
So which letter of the alphabet matches YOUR personality, huh?
Thanks for telling me...And finally:
"Your name of Joanna gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. Your thinking revolves around business and ways of making money, rather than on music, art, drama, or philosophy. You start new endeavours and incorporate new ideas, but seldom if ever receive the full benefits and financial accumulation for your efforts. You tend to feel very frustrated in being unable to realize your ambitions fully. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. You believe in speaking directly and to the point, so you are candid and abrupt. Many friendships are lost because of your directness. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection. Weaknesses in your health affect the senses of the head, causing eye, ear or sinus trouble"
I really didn't feel like talking about anything important tonight. I'm not in a thinking mood so taking these stupid test was just what I needed. I'm off to do some drawing. *blah >_<*

I don't know what to write. I don't even really feel like talking about this. This whole band situation is not good. I wish I knew if it would work out or not. (since I cannot see into the future I have no idea what will happen.) It's something we all want badly but getting it to work is a big concern. If Miko goes to Maine and I go to NYC and Yuki goes who-knows-were what will become of the band. We can't battle the distance. I don't think I can take the trips back and forth from NY to NH all the time. It'll take about 5 hours to get back here and money I probably won't have. (since I don't have a car to drive home to NH). This was just one less thing I thought I'd have to worry about but I guess not, ne? Every little thing has been driving me crazy lately. I long to do something with 'Audrey' but sometimes I just pick up my guitar and stare at it...is this going anywhere...what's the use now?

I hate snow, and I hate the cold. It's the first day of 'Spring' and what happens, here in Jaffrey, NH we get 6-9 inches of snow. I would like to see the grass again some day.
Besides the crappy conditions outside I did have a peaceful afternoon. I got all my FIT stuff faxed out and so I just went home and fell asleep. (I slept during my 7th period study too. I've forgotten how enjoyable sleep is).
Here is something stupid: Amanda and i were walking across the Middle School Playground today (to get back to class) and this little fat 8th grade (?) boy yells at us...
Little boy: 'What do they call you at school?'
Amanda/Ishiko: 'huh...?' *give each other blank confused stare*
Little boy: 'What do they call you-?'
Ishiko: 'We're called by our names.'
Do we need to be titled as anything? Maybe when you're a little kid - Middle schooler - I still don't even understand why we need a label in the first place. (just try and grow up) We weren't wearing anything 'strange'. I had my coat with the fur collar and fur cuff. That covered up most of my outfit (purple button down shirt, 2 skirts, and blue stripped knee-socks) Amanda was wearing a black 'pea coat' (whoa that is so weird!..) and jeans. I think it was about a month ago when the same little boy told us that we must be psycedelic. And before that he said that we must have been goth. Could he just make up his mind, jeez. I hate little children...

*Gyaaa* I'm stressed abd worried and depressed and who knows what else. I started out worried but I don't really know what I was worried about...of course I've been feeling really depressed lately. (bad self image. must be eating too much. I'm too fat.) So the combination of worrying and depressing wasn't too good but today I got to add stress to the mix. When I received my stuff from FIT they had sent me a packet on the Presidential Scholars Program. Unfortunately I got the packet yesterday and the due date for the application, transcript, 2 recommnedation letter, statement about what I want to get out of the program, and something else (?) are due tomorrow. I had to race around to get everything and I feel bad about the short notice I gave to my Art and Latin American Civ. teachers. I'll live I'm sure.
Yuki-chan, life sucks sometimes. I know from experience. But I believe what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. Well, I don't know If I acctually believe that but it's what my Dad tells me all the time. While I see the pessimistic side of everything he always wishes me the best. Don't worry. I'm sure that you will do everything that you ever wanted to do in life. You are just going to go down a different path than the rest of us. That doesn't mean that you are a failure. You're not at all. You have great potential. Hey you must be doing something right there are people out there who want you to make them costumes, prom dresses and other things. Don't get too stressed over it all though, I know that's a hard thing to do when it seems like your entire world has come crashing down on you in the matter of a few days. Life is not over yet. Who knows what will happen as the months go on? Everything will come out okay, GAMBATTE!
Ha, wouldn't it be nice if I would listen to my own advice sometimes. I don't think this even my advice I don't normally think this way. I never look at the bright side of situations.

I've been up for almost ever...I just read what Yuki wrote in her blog yesterday night. It actually made me physically sick. I feel terrible that she didn't get into college. All I can say is that if you were meant to go you would be going. Obviously there is something else that you were meant to do instead. You'll find it ^^. Whatever it is. Now, I don't even want to know if i got into FIT or not. I hope I didn't.
I worked on [IX] SPIRAL some more. I have some Kamijo and Gackt things up.
My money made it to Sweden safe and sound and my Lareine fanclub mags will be arriving at my home in the near future.
I don't know what to say anymore...

I've been thinking that maybe I'll try to sell some of my anime. (like my Magic knight rayearth, or the few Sailor Moon manga that I have. That's something else to look into. I could use the Money. That reminds me. I'm trying to sell my Fushigi Yuugi wallscrolls. You can see the here:
Maybe i can find a buyer??
Ah, my back really hurts...I wasn't even standing for very long at work today. I used to be able to stand around for 9 hours with out any sort of problem. I can't seem to do that anymore.
Today was a horrible day. It's funny that yesterday I was in a perfect mood. I thought maybe it would have lasted a bit longer though. So, this morning I went to pick Miko up for school and she mentioned working last night on her history essay outline...
ISHIKO: "Ano, what history outline? @_@;
MIKO: "The one for the WWII test today.
ISHIKO: @_@;;;;;;;;"SHIT!" (that was my exact epression)
I continued to think about what I was going to write for my essay first period when I realied that the car in front of me had stopped for a bus. I eased down on the break but the car wouldn't have stopped fast enough so I jammed the break down and skidded to a stop.
MIKO: "Whoa!"
That racked my nerves for a while. (We made it to school alive)
I went home 7th period like I have been doing for some time. I was walking down my stairs when all of a sudden my right leg gave out and I almost fell (to my possible death) down the rest of the stairs if not for the fact that I had a hold of the banister. My day filled with near-possible-death-experiences gets even better. Yuki came by after school to drive me to work and Miko to her house. We all made it in to her car in one piece...One time Yuki began to drive away when I wans't even all the way in the car...anyway, we were pulling out of my road. Yuki turned, but somehow missed the fact that there was a big red truck heading straight for us on the right side of the road. We can blame that on Toshiya though. Yuki had her Toshiya outfit on today. It seems that when ever Yuki dresses like Toshiya she doesn't drive too well. The first time she dressed as Toshiya we were almost hit by a white car. She didn't notice that coming right at us either. I don't know who to balme for what happened this morning. Nor do I have anyone to balme for me almost falling down the stairs. All in all today was interesting...not a fun day but in hindsight it was quite amusing.
Let me end tonight with just a few more quizzes. (taken not too long ago.) I find it hard to turn down the chance to take most of these quizzes so now that I've started i doubt I will ever stop.
HTML:
Elegant, beautiful and classy. You're most likely very feminine, or, if you happen to be male, "in touch" with your feminine side. Sometimes you might seem rather pretentious, but you're nonetheless calming and quite graceful.
take the "which neglected jrock band are you?" test. or something. |
Lareine
Plastic Tree
La'Cryma Christi
Blue
Janne Da Arc
Blue B
FEEL
Haha, I like what it says about Plastic Tree: 'Depressing and suicidal, there's a good chance you might even take drugs or suffer from alcoholism. Even if you don't, you still live in your own little dream world, and most likely have quite a vivid imagination. In any case, you're still rather soothing, in your own bizarre little way. You're also rather angsty.'
I also thought it would be nice to find out just how I was meant to die. Ya know, If it comes off the internet it must be true...^^ Oh, but this is no suprise. Just look what I got:
take the death quiz.
and go to mewing.net. laura = great.
You are Pieces.
You're an emotional person who tends to always be lost in thought.
Friends look to you for sympathy, but you're not always the best person to give it.
And.. you're a bit of a sociopath. Who likes knives.

You're Kishuu Arashi!
Always calm and composed, you aren't prone to dramatic outbursts or displays of emotion. You save your emotion for times when it is really necessary. Some might call you cold or distant, but on the upside, you're very emotionally strong and can take care of yourself. And when the right person comes along, they might just break your shell.
Which Dragon of Heaven are you?
Quiz by Kerianne
You are Lestat. The Brat Prince of Vampires. You're great and you know it.
Find your inner vampire.
Well, besides the fact that I felt quite nauseous all day, I was in a very pleasant mood.
Band practice went well today. We've begun to put together our own scores. It all worked out nicely so we all have parts to practice for Sunday. It didn't take as long as I thought it would have. It may seem a bit easy to start out with but we can always build on what we have. (You have to start somewhere, ne?) Speaking of Audrey...I've put together the main page dedicated to our little band at IX SPIRAL.
A few weeks ago, during vacation, I can't remember when that was, I didn't end up spending all the money I had brought with me. I only bought the February issue of Arena 37c. (It had Dir en Grey on the cover and a poster inside) So, I decided to head over to ebay and see what I could get with my left over cash. I won myself the Lareine Fiancailles maxi single. That comes with a Machi card and the two songs are different from the album version. And, I just won the 4th issue of the Lareine fanclub magazine. But for an extra few bucks I also got issue 5, 6, and 7 out of the deal. So, I'm pleased with where my money ended up. I know I should be saving for Japan but I have not bought anything else besides the DEG mag all month. I think I deserved to treat myself to some stuff I really wanted and besides I have over 2,000 dollars in the bank for Japan. I'm not worried about not having enough to get by when the time comes to leave. I should have over 3,000 dollars by that time anyway. Still, I won't be spending anymore cash until New Sodmy releases another single or a cd.

*long sigh of releif*I just found out that I have been accepted to the Scool of Visual Arts in NYC. *YAY* I'm so happy. I celebrated by eating a big bowl of ice cream. So much for my diet but at the moment I don't care if I get fat. Atleast I know that I can go to college.
Another thing: Miko called me tonight and she talked about how Yuki and I are going to Japan but she has to stay here in America this summer. She got all upset because Yuki was saying that she is going to stay in Japan forever and get a job and so on and so forth. I attempted to console Miko by telling her that we'd come back. But now I too feel alittle depressed about the whole situation because what if something comes up and I don't come back. I can't say what I'm going to want to do 4 or 5 months from now. I would just hate to have lied to Miko. But if the oppertunity came up to stay in Japan forever I would most likely accept that too. What can we really do? Only take one day at a time, ne. School isn't over yet and our band isn't breaking up. I think that is what Miko is really upset about. We are all beginning to go our separate ways and that's scares her. She doesn't want to be left alone. Well, Miko-chan, neither do I. That is my biggest fear. I never want to be left alone. And just because Yuki and I go away for a while doesn't mean that our band is going anywhere. (Miko, you are an important part and the band is not the same unless you are there too.) Although I cannot guarantee anything for the future I can tell you now, Miko, you will not be left behind.
Yuki, Miko, we will all get to Japan together and our band will become a success. Remember Miko-chan we have to play on one of those small stages where the audiance can almost touch you but no matter what you are always just a little out of their reach. Ah, and don't forget we have to do that little dance from the Kazuki Memorial video too. ^_^
I'm still working on my webpage but some of the mp3s are up and the updates page (cuz no one cares about that). Now, if you feel like dropping by IX Spiral I would feel very appreciative. I couldn't think of a name so I randomly selected a song off my winamp. I thought I'd just work with whatever it was that I got. (Gackt - Nine Spiral). And that's the end of that. I hope to get the rest of the stuff up an running soon.

I have been working on a web page for a while now but i've dicided to alter it even before it's welcoming visitors. It a total renovation complete with a new name. Top Secret though so until it's complete and I'm happy with it it will remain unseen. I still plan on dedicating it to Jrock and the bands and musicians that I respect and admire the most. That's all I have to say about that at the moment.In five weeks I have to complete a large time consuming project for art class. Not a bad thing but I'm utterly out of ideas and inspiration. Well, I have some ideas but, I don't know...I'm frustrated and that is effecting my ability to do anything productive.

I have just become aware of some horrible news. Yuki was reading over at a New Sodmy/LAREINE BBS and e-mailed me to say that Mayu-kun is missing. After reading her message I rushed over to the Niji's page to read for myself and get the details. So, it seems that at one of the New Sodmy talk events recently Mayu did not show up. I guess that everyone figured he was sick with a cold. But as it turned out Mayu was simply missing. Kamijo said that he and the rest of the band had attempted to contact Mayu for about a week but with no luck. Where could mayu be? That really has me worried and I don't usually worry about other people...Some people believed that one of the members was thinking about leaving. Again, Kamijo stated that no one was going anywhere and Mayu was definitly not leaving the band. I hope they can find him soon. Also I hear that they are planning to release a cd in May sometime. That means that I MUST buy it no questions asked. I support Kamijo and his band as much as possible by buying everything I can. Maybe even if I am very LUCKY while I'm in Japan this summer New Sodmy will dicide to go on a tour. ^_^! So, to get back to the Mayu situation that has disheartened me so, Kamijo may have to play guitar but for now Aya-kun will learn Mayu's parts. I didn't intent to write about New Sodmy but since the situation came up I had no other alternative. I just hope that Mayu is safe and sound and we hear from the band very soon about his return.
To go on to another topic: I felt that today's band practice went as well as could be expected. Good job everyone. We got done most of what we set out to accomplish today even with the hair dying and late start.
As I just mentioned we spent some time dying my hair again. It turned out (what seems to be) much ligher and Miko even found pieces in the back of my head that were practically white blonde (or as Miko put it "Fin-blonde") I don't think I'll be making my hair any lighter after this time just redye the roots every few weeks or get a colour that is closer to Kamijo's "real" blonde hair colour.
Vacation is finally over. I shouldn't say "finally" because it seemed not to last as long as I would have liked. Oh, well, there is always April vacation to look forwar too...and soon after that the year will be over and I can head to Japan. What I wouldn't give to be there now, what I wouldn't give to see New Sodmy live ar at a talk event or what I wouldn't give to see Dir en Grey live. Atleast I know for sure that they will be have a live while I'm there.
I'm waiting to hear back from the 2 coleges that I applied to. I recieved notice in the mail that they had both gotten my applications and now all I have to do is wait. I hate waiting. I want to know now!

Kamijo: "Where's my bunny?"
Ishiko: "I got your bunny."
Kamijo: "Haha!."
*yawn* I'm so bored. So, so bored. I have nothing else to do but sit here wnat write a pointless blog entry...I've been up since 7:30 this morning. I don't think I went to bed until around 2 or 3. I was looking at appliques for my Kamijo inspired prom dress. While on vacation I am supposed to watch a movie based of King Arthur so I rented Camelot the musical. I hate musicals and this one is terrible. I figured that I'd have alot to criticize when I review it for English next week. The movie is 2 tapes long, over 3 hours I think. It took about 20 minutes before the actual movie started. The acting is bad, the singing is bad, and Lancelot has a horrid French accent. I especially hate the fact that whenever someone breaks into song they have to face directy into the camera. Guenever acts like a slut and Pellinore reminds me or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of OZ. I just can't wait till I put tape 2 in.
I think I'm going to pass out or die...but I can't just yet I have work in and hour or so.
I wonder...does anyone actually read this stuff that I write. Is it ever worth reading. I doubt it. x_x

Archived today. That's about it. If it counts for anything I'm in the process of making an Emiru ragdoll. It's a pain to make his head because after I sew it it's always the wrong size...but I'm determinded to finish it.
