"Make your choice, adventurous Stranger, Strike the bell and bide the danger, Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had." ~The Magician's Nephew, C.S. Lewis
Currently listening to : nothing Ger, sorry to hear about your grandfather. I didn't get your e-mail, but I did see the message in your blog. *hugs* You're in my thoughts.
Currently listening to : nothing Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in forever. I was so busy with finals and packing and moving and all that that I didn't have much time to do anything else. *sob* I miss my computer and our ethernet line! I hate my dad's POS computer and 56k line. *pout* Er, anyway... I am done with everything, which I am glad about. I guess some sacrifices have to be made. C'est la vie, non? Subsub, if you get this message- I will not be able to come to Bloomington on Thursday after all. Long story, but I am going to try to get that stupid dresser down to you guys soon. It's taking up too much room, and you need it way more than I do at the present. Laurelchan, I'd be glad to take The Bluest Eye if you don't want it. I like the way she writes. *.* Oh, and I finished making you that tape of CCS, which I will send asap, k? Same address? Ger, I really liked what you said in your blog, about what you'll remember from the last two years, now that we are upperclassmen. I think I'm going to try that now. I might leave some stuff out, but I'm going to do my best to put down the most important things that I've learned: ~Life is too precious to waste. And wasting it is selfish, and only causes others to suffer. ~The best lessons learned in life come with the heaviest prices. ~Your truest friends are the ones who understand you, and will stick by you in the roughest of times. ~Best friends are always together in spirit, no matter how far the distance. (I love you S, Anne, Jo, and Kim!!) ~I'm not a bad judge of character, judging by the friends I've made at IU and on the net! (*huggles* Subsub, Ara, Amanda, Bethany, Elly, Christina, Juli, Jen Garst, Laurelchan, Ger, Mearlchan, Lyra, QS, Moonsong- I couldn't have survived the last 2 years without you!) ~Love is a bitch, but one of the best teachers. ~Religion is not about what anyone else tries to force upon you, it's about what you know deep in your heart to be the truths of the universe. ~To quote Amanda, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." ~Fandom is such a great way to escape reality. Yay fandom! ~Bishounen are the key to happiness. (Especially underaged ones, ne Laurelchan and Amanda? ^_~) ~Siblings can be tolerable provided that you don't see them for 9 months out of the year. ~Patience really is a virtue. ~And finally, to quote Maya Angelou, "Everyone has the potential to be a rainbow in the clouds," for someone else. I love you all! I don't know when I'm going to blog next, but hopefully it will be soon. *hugs* Mata ne!
Currently listening to : Special Thanks, Glay *sighs* I love this song. Yay! Four finals down, one to go, and it's my Japanese final on Thursday. *sighs* I finally finished my last paper of the semester! I also want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARACHAN! ^_^ *glomp* I think I'm going to go to bed. I'll post more later when I am slightly more awake. >.<
Currently listening to : Can't Buy Me Love, The Beatles It's the weekend! Finally! Classes are over, so I now have to worry about finals. *sigh* But one week... it will all be over soon. I went shopping today w/ SubSub, and I bought some gifts for people's b-days *cough* Ara *cough*. ^_~ We went out to lunch at this Chinese place, which didn't have the best food ever, but hey! It was still food. And we had fun! *glomp* And what we talked about... you'll get it sorted out, I'm sure. Just remember I will support you no matter what! For anyone interested (most of the people who would be interested have already read it ^^;;, but whatever), I have finished my Really Bad Harry Potter Mary Sue. It's here. *snickers* Er... enjoy. At least as much as a mary sue can be enjoyed. *shudder* You guys were such good sports to be in it too! Thank you so much! I love you! These are my thank you pics. ^_~:
"Me" (I wish.) I wrote another one too. *gasp* I know, I finished 2 fics! (Although the plot bunnnies are still hopping around rampantly ^^;;) This one is WAY surreal, and to be honest, I'm not sure what I was on when I wrote it. It's another HP (I promise, I'll get my CCS, FY, and SM ones done sometime. >.< And yes, my Weiß one too, Laurelchan), and it's about Lily's view on life, and how she learned love and the desire to protect. It's here. And yes, I know the Author's notes are screwed up on the bottom. I'll fix them later. Anyway, everyone have a good weekend! I am going to working on finals crap. :-P *hugs* Mata ne!
Currently listening to : Aeroplane, Red Hot Chili Peppers YES! I'm FINALLY done w/ the 15 page paper from hell! I just have to print it and turn it in! *does chibi dance of victory* Sorry I haven't been on to talk much this week... and I probably won't be on much next week either, because next week is real finals week, and I have another paper due, as well as 3 finals to study for. -_- But I'm DONE with the 15 page paper from hell!! Ohohohohohohohoho! ^0^ Er... anyway... ^^;; I am going to go find a decent printer b/c mine is a total POS. *glomps minna* I hope everyone else is hanging in there! Talk to everyone soon!
Currently listening to : Jack and Diane, John Mellencamp I just finished read Beloved by Toni Morrison... oh my god. If you haven't read that book, read it. It is so excellent. I can see why it won the Nobel and a Pulitzer. It's got that haunting quality to it that so few authors can really pull off. And now for my rant of the day. How did the world become so damned commercialized? It's like you can't turn a corner without seeing an advertisment for something stupid and pointless and sexual. Or maybe a new made up disease to make people buy pills they don't need. But my point has nothing to do with sex in advertising, or America's dependency on drugs. It's about children. I read an article from USA Today about how Warner Bros. sent law-suit threatening letters to CHILDREN (er, and teens) who happened to have websites that had ANYTHING to do with Harry Potter in their domain names b/c WB bought the rights to everything HP related- except the actual books. Can you even imagine?! The story of a sweet, endearing boy with a completely love-deprived childhood that has touched the hearts of children, teens, and adults of all ages, and it's now come down to corporate America. Everything always does. I mean, I'm all for working to get ahead in life and in business, but this is just bullying. It's just meaness. And it pisses me off. How can you believe in a system that takes the joy out imagination?! I adore J.K. Rowling, but to be honest, I kind of hope that she regrets ever signing that contract. Harry would be mortified.
Currently listening to : I'm Through With Love, Marilyn Monroe I think I've decided that I hate this time of year. People who are not normally stressed are. Pre-finals does that to you. *hugs Amanda* Daijoubu, ne?! You'll make it to Thursday, I promise. Just keep thinking happy thoughts about underaged bishounen! ^_~ And Subsub, who just spent an hour on a blog message to have it completely swiped b/c of an IE error. *hugs in sympathy* And Ger... I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you. I didn't do it intentionally. Hell, I don't even know what I said. I just know that I'm sorry to have upset you. Dissention among friends is the last thing I need or want right now, especially of my own doing. So, I hope you accept my apology. I love you! *hug* Laurelchan, I think our plan for the Old Otaku Home is brilliant. We now have a back up plan in case our intended careers lead us nowhere. XD I'm going to shove off and do some homework. Oyasumi. *waves*
Currently listening to : Subsub typing Hey everyone! I didn't blog this weekend because I had nothing to say. I did nothing. I was holed up in my room, like I said I would be, and was hiding from the psychos in my dorm. I hatched some more plot bunnies. I actually managed to mostly finish one of them, too! (My HP mary sue- special thanks to all of those insane enough to let me put them in it ^0^) I did a few drawings, too, but I'll post them after I work on them a little more. I'm going to bed now. I have to get up in 3 1/2 hours. >.< Ja mata!
Currently listening to : Head Over Feet, Alanis Morissette This song used to mean something to me. Ha. Whatever. I went the doctor and something that's been weighing on my mind for a very long time has finally been (mostly) resolved. Yay! That makes me happy! Ger, I love you! I understand so well, believe me. I do. SubSub, I like what you said in your blog! And *hugs* to you too! Have a great time! It's Little 500 weekend here, which means nothing to most of you, I'm sure, but to IU students it means one of two things:
1) YES! ROCK! PAR-TAY!! Anyway... I took my Japanese oral final today, and I think we did well, ne Christina?! ^_^
Currently listening to : Gong Li, Red Hot Chili Peppers Konnichiwa minna! I am so exhasuted I can barely keep my eyes open, which sucks royally. Oh well. I have decided that I am not going to touch homework until Christina comes over at 8:00 tonight to study for our Japanese oral final tomorrow. >.< S, your new blog layout it beautiful! *.* And Mearl, I really like the message you posted yesterday about Revolution. I am going to go try to work on my new plot bunny... *cackles evilly and runs away in SD*
Currently listening to : Bachelorette, Björk Decided I should blog. Nothing exciting is going on in my life right now, except end of the semester stuff. You know, tons of papers, frantically trying to catch up for finals, reading academic stuff like crazy, no sleep, stress, caffeine, advising appointments, etc... I'm a little nervous about Friday. I have a doctor's appointment at 8 a.m. *grumble* and my Japanese oral final exam. Not cool. And I have so much reading to do. I have a killer headache just thinking about it. *sigh* Just a little longer... Oyasumi minna!
Currently listening to : The Dolphin's Cry, Live I always said that I am spoiled. I was right. I got to go hear Marcel Marceau give a lecture this afternoon on the art of mime, and the importance of the arts in our lives in general. It was fascinating lecture. He had so much energy! And so much passion for his art, and all art. He even did some miming for us. It was wonderful! My quote under 'Random Thought's was something he said during the lecture. Nothing spectacular happened today except for that. I have a ton of homework tonight, which is nothing unusual. Hopefully I can stay focused. Oh wait! I got an A- on a test I thought I got a C on! Yay me! Hugs to Amanda- sorry you couldn't go to the lecture with us, and I hope you feel better soon. *hugs to all* Oyasumi!
Currently listening to : Brandy's new wind chimes (yes, more...) Hello everyone! This is my new layout, ver. 7.0- CCS Samain Night. All the graphics credit goes to Ger, who did all of the work! Thanks Ger, it looks gorgeous! *glomp* I had a good weekend. I think it's the first time in ages that I've gone home and not had a fight w/ someone in my family. It was refreshing. My brother has definitely chilled in the past few months. He's actually tolerable now. Random observation: it's very interesting to watch an insane post-modern Japanese soap opera called Love Complex after drinking anything alcoholic. I have to run to bed- I have work early in the morning. :-P Oyasumi!

Samain Night
When the moon on a cloud cast night
You offered me an eagle's wing
And so our love's not a simple thing
I'll be a moon's breath by your side

House : Gryffindor
Family : Muggle-born, both parents Muggles
Wand : willow, contains single hair from the tail of a unicorn; gentle and whispy; perfect for performing enchantments
Pet : snowy owl; gift from a secret admirer at Hogwarts; she is affectionate and reliable, but has a bad habit of eating the snacks my mother sends me in the post. I decided to name her Blodeuwedd, after the Welsh Celtic goddess of flowers, lunar mysteries, and wisdom; her symbols are the owl and the moon.
