New layout- Lemon Meringue, with Kiryuu Nanami from Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Sekai Wo Kakumei Suru Chikara Wo!
Well everyone, the time has come. I'm leaving today for Europe, so my blog will be on haitus until I get back, which will be about 6 weeks from now. Then I'll finally get around to archiving. ^_~ I'm sorry I didn't get to have marathon chats will my MR.org dearlings. *glomps minna* Expect postcards, ok?! I'll be thinking about you all! Ly, good luck with end of term stuff! I know you'll do fine! Then you and Sevvie can take that get away vacation... *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*. And Laur, I will NOT forget about your RR promise. *tries to look intimidating, but can't and sighs in resignation* Marathon chat when I get back? I hope we can. I hope all of you are well, and I'll be thinking about you all! I love you guys!
My brother graduated high school last night. Kind of weird, really. I'm really proud of him though. His girlfriend had to leave for Germany for a month this morning, and the poor thing cried! He's going through a massive life change, and the girl he loves isn't here to help him. Not on purpose of course, but still... it's hard on him. But he's a good kid, and though I already said it, I'm proud of him. I am almost done with the temp job! It's gone by quickly... in retrospect. Things are always faster in retrospect, have you noticed? Just a few more days... And really, I like the people in the office. There's this 50 year old Cuban who grew up in New Jersey, and he's so hilarious. He's one of those guys who's rough on the outside (you know, tattoos, smokes, curses like a sailor, is like 6'7 or something), but he's a giant softie on the inside. He has kittens on his screen saver, makes up his own lyrics to Broadway hits, and talks adoringly about his wife. He's the greatest! I'll miss him when I leave, I admit. I leave in a week- hard to believe, really. I have SO much to do before I head across The Pond for the Emerald Isle. I am excited though! ^_^ *hugs* Hope everyone's well! Laur, I WILL be expecting you on sometime in the next few days... Oyasumi!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some info on the HP DVD. As Ger knows, I was online ranting about the fact that the deleted scenes were impossible to find. Well, they are. So I'll tell you how to get them. On the 2nd disk you have to go to Diagon Alley, get your wand, then go to the classrooms and do at least the Potions classes, maybe the others (I did Poitions last, so I'm not sure). THEN you can get the Sorcerer's/ Philosopher's Stone, which takes you to the scenes. Whew! It's retarded! Not EVERYONE wants to play a bloody video game everytime they want to watch their DVD! Anyway, I hope that helps anyone who's having problems with it. Anne-girl, I had a blast this weekend! I hope you can come again in a few weeks!
Happy Memorial Day everyone! Did everyone watch the Indy 500 yesterday? ^_~ Probably not. My brother got to go, though, so he was excited... I won something. I mean I actually won something. Granted, it wasn't one of the 10 trips to London to be in the next HP movie, like I hoped it would be, but I won an HP movie poster!!! Of course, I already have 3 of them, but that's beside the point. Amanda, I tried calling your house multiple times and I never got anyone; Bethy, I tried yours and it was disconnected! O.o;; Anne and I are going to try to go visit my school today, if I can get her out of bed. ^_~ She's a sleepy head. I've been awake for about 20 minutes, and I've already been yelled at by my brother, for waking him up b/c his friend Tommy imed me and asked me to tell him to call him; and my mother because I was eating ice cream for breakfast. *sigh* When do I go back to school again?
Wai wai! Anne came to visit me!!! It's the first time one of my high school friends has come here to visit me! (I've been back a few times to see them.) I'm so excited! We're getting ready to go out and do fun stuff. Yay! I still hate my temp job, but the longer I'm there, the more I realize how much fun the people who work there are. At least I laugh a lot while I'm doing my 8 hours of filing. And it's a holiday weekend, so I have Monday off. Yay! My fam is still driving me nuts, but it's less abrasive since Anne is here to make fun of the situation. I hope everyone is doing well! Amanda, I'm going to call you, and ditto Bethy! Love you all!
Back from the concert, and felt the need for a brief rant. Not about the concert (although one group did a HORRID rendition of One Day More from Les Mis. It was truly awful). My brother looked very handsome in his tux, I must say. I'm proud of him. But on to my brief rant. Now that I'm one year away from graduating college, I realize that I really can't stand being at home for long periods of time anymore. I mean, it was bad the summer after my freshman year, and it was bad last summer, but this summer is torture. If I hear my grandmother (bless her heart) say "He did good." one more time, I will scream "WELL, DAMN IT!" My aunt keeps trying to rub my back and give me hugs all the time, which is ok on occasion, but I despise being touched all the time. My mother is constantly bitching to me about SOMETHING: I'm being rude, I'm slamming the car door, why don't I wear that cute skirt I have? Why aren't I wearing makeup? Why am I arguing with my brother? Etc etc etc. My dad is constantly goading me into political debates. My sister is a whiney 16 year old teeny-bopper spoiled brat. For once, the only person I am getting along with is my brother- odd, considering he is the only one I used to not get along with. And he still annoys me at times w/ his cocky attitude. *sigh* C'est la vie, I suppose. I'm not really pissy, just frustrated. Oyasumi everyone!
LOL- Amanda, I got your e-mail. It's now me and S, versus Amanda and Ger about Hayden. I saw it again myself on Saturday night, and I definitely enjoyed it better than I did the first time, but that's because I mostly ignored Hayden and payed more attention to the parts that I thought kicked ass. XD *shrug* To each their own, ne? ANNE IS COMING TO VISIT ME! *dances* I am SO happy! This is like the 4th time she's tried, but this time she's going to make it all the way here, damn it. My brother has his very last high school chorus concert tonight. He's graduating in 2 weeks. It's kind of weird, really. Anyway, gotta run to aforementioned concert. I hope all is well! Love you guys! *big glomps around*
Lucas! Baby! WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???!! (Warning: Ep.2 spoilers abound) Hayden Christensen was the WORST actor I've ever seen. My DOG could have played Anakin better. I could have played Anakin better, and I'm a woman. -_- He sounded like he was reading cue cards held by the coffee boy next to the camera, or something. Ger, hon, I love you, but I don't agree with you on Hayden's part. At ALL. No offense. So if any of you don't agree with ME, feel free to go read Ger's shining review here. And Ger, we'll agree to disagree. ^_~ However, the special effects ruled. The music ruled- they played the Imperial March!! And part of Duel of the Fates!! The clone army was well-done, as well. I never imagined that Boba would look so... not bad looking under that armor. ^_~ But Yoda won the show with the freaky martial arts/ light sabre gig... then grabbing his cane and hobbling away. *ROTFLMAO* It was by far the coolest part of the movie... besides Natalie Portman's wardrobe, which was GORGEOUS. I will probably pay to see it again (and again and again), for the sole two minutes of Yoda kicking ass. One thing's for certain- S, I missed you! I thought of you the whole time, and how much commentary we would have been making. *hugs* Anyway, love you guys! Talk to you later! And Laur... *hugs* I hope we find all is well.
S, Laur, Ger, and the rest of my friends: thank you all so much for just being you. Knowing that I have friends like you all is a comfort in itself. I am feeling a lot better today- my little sis was in the craziest-hyper mood and it made me feel better. ^_^ Laur, don't EVER, EVER worry about me renigging on our promise. I wouldn't, couldn't. Not after seeing what I've seen. Even in the darkest times, even in the loneliest times, I know that I could never forgive myself if I were so cowardly as to just give in. *big glomp hug* After all, I AM a Gryff, you know! ^_~ And long live the Old Otaku Home! (And the cute cabana boi orderlies!) I know I'm not really alone. it's just sometimes, the future seems bleak. When you're by yourself and the future is cloudy and you're filled with self-doubt, it's hard to remain optimistic, you know? I love you all, and if the current generation in power doesn't completely destroy the world before we have the chance to try to heal it's wounds, maybe, just maybe we stand some chance of kissing it better. *hugs* Or maybe we can just put birth control in the water after we take over the world, right S? Here's to Burma! P.S. Like everyone's new layouts!
Well, since my last genki, quiz-filled post, my world has been warped into a gray mass of stagnant depression. So feel free not to read- it's not a happy post. My dear friend Bethany from school called me on Friday to tell me that her younger brother died on Thursday of a drug overdose. It was horribly sad- while I never met her brother Daniel, Amanda told me he was a beautiful kid, and he was supposed to graduate high school in a few weeks. He was coming to our school too, and Bethany was SO excited b/c I was finally going to meet him. Bethy, if you read this, know that I love you. You've been a sister to me for 3 years, and please contact me if you need me. Don't be afraid that it'll upset me... I know how you hate to tell people things b/c you don't want to upset them for your sake. Then today, my sister's best friend from back home called to tell my sister that a girl they were friends with also died of a drug overdose- on the same night. The same fucking night. It breaks my heart. Why do people do this to themselves? And yet, I know what it's like to just want to let yourself go into a spiral of self-destruction. I've felt it myself. But I learned the hard way that suicide, drugs, whatever are the coward's way out, and I wish that I could have shared what I know with the people who needed to hear it the most. But now it's too late, and they've left behind broken hearts and unfulfilled dreams. The world seems to be falling apart. War, death, horrid weather- our county has been named a local disater area b/c of all the flooding. I've started a job that, while I'm very glad to have it, is boring as hell. And I saw Spider-man yesterday. Damn, what a depressing ending. Don't worry, I won't spoil it, but it just left me feeling unhappy. It's a good movie though. I'm sick of it all. I'm sick of the depression, I'm sick of the stagnant feelings, I'm sick of the loneliness I feel when I'm at home with no one I can really contect with. I'm sick of me. And I'm scared of my future. All I can see right now is a life that's alone. I see an old spinster left with nothing after she pushes everyone away. And it makes me sad.
May I never again say a word about my bible-thumping aunt, she got me A JOB. I am serious! And it's pretty good money! It's a 3 week temp position at the company she works at. Yay! I AM loved! I have discovered the joy of quizzes. Expect to see a lot in the next few posts. Today's are all HP- related. Wheee! Fun!! I am now an addict. Thanks Ly. ^_~ Look guys! I knew it was meant to be! *happy sigh* (And yes, I answered all of the questions honestly!)
 discover who's your perfect HP guy here And... *mock serious gasp* H/H?! No way. Not me ^_~.

 Which HP Kid Are You? Yay Remmy! *.* He's my fave Marauder! 
Interesting...
![[i'm bill weasley]](http://atypically.net/hp/images/bill.jpg) ...and which lesser Harry Potter character are you? And gee. What a surprise here. ^^;;
I'm sure you're all wondering why in the hell I'm up at 8am when I don't have to be. Good question. My dad needed me to pick him up at the car dealership b/c it needed an oil change. -_- Anyway, on to stuff people may actually give a damn about! I did not get the job I interviewed for. Meanies. And of course, the reason is the 6 week gap in the middle of the summer when I'll be galavanting elsewhere. *sigh* This sucks. And it's not easy to find a job when I'll be gone for such a large chunk of time. I've looked several places, and *sniff* no one wants me! I'm unloved. And somehow Laur, you managed to get online last night when I wasn't on, long enough to CHANGE YOUR BLOG LAYOUT! *dies* I can't believe I missed the opportunity to kidnap Draco! *cough* Er, I mean, to see you....! Right. That's what I meant! XD Well, I am off to unpack now. I've technically already had almost a week to do it, but I haven't touched it. I couldn't bring myself to. If you could see the mess in my room... and me, a neat freak. It's truly frightening. Later everyone! *hugs*
Hey everyone! New layout. It's a bit odd, but I like it. I mean, the actual layout isn't different, but I changed the page. Anyway, it's Nanami from SKU, based on the Poe song Lemon Meringue. ^_^ I have a job interview tomorrow at the Campaign to Save the Government, and I hope I get the job. It would be super cool! Oooh, and I read the first chapter of Lori's 3rd story, Harry Potter and the Hero with a Thousand Faces. Oh. my. god. Lori has done it again. Amazing stuff. I hope everyone's semesters are wrapping up ok, and I hope we can all chat soon! Laur... this is a threat. I WILL kidnap Draco from you if you don't finish the next rr section. You have been warned. *evil grin* S, let me know your summer info so I can call you! Love you all!

Hold on you've gotta wait just a minute
You know I've been a good girl
(Like lemon)
Stop right there before I get bitter
So the other day well I found me a lover

Stop right there before I get bitter
