Jenchan's Pitas ver. 3.0. New layout! Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Touga, Adolescence Mokushiroku manga... Does anyone else see a pattern here? ^_^;;


-_- ... Thursday, March 1, 2001 01:11 a.m.

Um, ok, so today wasn't a better day in the end. I did have fun at dinner, so thanks Amanda and Bethany... and Jimmy too, although you don't count. After all, we're sending you to Siberia w/ some fuzzy hats.

After that, I was made fun of a lot, was bitchy b/c I'm pmsing (which I'm sure you all wanted to know), did the one homework assignment... and then proceeded to close window containing aforementioned homework assignment after I had worked an hour and a half to finish it. I was livid. I cussed myself and the comp out for about half an hour, then sighed and started over. It's now printing. If I don't get an A on it, I'm going to be pissed.

Not to mention I'm still seriously pissed off about this apartment business. There are a lot more details than I'm willing to disclose, but this is FUCKING RETARDED! *grabs hair and screams in frustration*

*takes deep breath and attempts to de-stress*

It's not working. *grumble*

*sigh* Gomen ne minna. I hate bitching. I really do. I like to be genki and happy and have everything right in the world, even is life sucks at the moment. For some reason, I'm having a hard time being genki this week. It's really not very cool, and I hate to vent at people who haven't done anything to deserve my ranting.

Oh great, now I'm bitching about bitching. *sigh* I think I'm going to shut up and go to bed now. -_-;; Oyasumi.


cheers to a better day... Wednesday, February 28, 2001 05:11 p.m.

Yay! Today was much better than yesterday. I went to bed early and got up late this morning and it felt GOOD. Sleep is a rare luxury these days. I went to class, started a (in my opinion) smashing discussion on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, part 2, "On the Pitying". After that, I went to Japanese where I learned to say "My sister is 15 years old" and "I am the oldest child". Thrilling. The to lunch w/ Christina and Jennifer, which was amusing. Then went to American history discussion and talked about race riots at the beginning of the 20th century. Uh, then went to work... YAY! Here is the fun part! I got my 2 other CCS artbooks today!! I think I like the 3rd book the best, but the 2nd one is wonderful too. The first one is cute, but it doesn't have any cutesy and mushy Syaoran and Sakura pics, so it defaults to last place. ^_~

Ger- I mailed your package today!! It should be there within 2 to 3 days. ^__^

I am going to dinner tonight w/ Bethany and Amanda. *waves* It was Bethany's b-day on Sunday, so we are having a sort-of birthday party thing. It will be fun! Amanda is my associate in crime- *cough* er... genkiness ^^;; when it comes to obsessing over CCS. *evil Eriol chuckle* She is the Queen of Evil Genki. No, wait... she IS Evil Genki. I'll show you those artbooks if you have time tonight Amanda.

Only one homework assignment I have to do for tomorrow, so that's nice too. The only thing still peeving me is the bloody apartment form, which I am about to postal about. I hope no one is around to see that b/c it's a terrifying thing. I haven't lost my temper so badly since my senior year of high school, but I can feel it building up. I hope I can restrain myself b/c I might end up committing murder or some other heinous crime, and I really don't want to be a fugitive for the rest of my life. -_-;;;

Anyway, gotta go and get ready for dinner and drool at my artbooks. *hugs around* Love minna! Mata ne!


STRESS... Tuesday, February 27, 2001 05:27 p.m.

Ok, today hasn't been bad, it's just been stressful. I woke up a little late, so I was in a rush to get to work on time. Then I got there and had a shitload of work to do with less time to do it in. Then I had to leave, and go listen to a lovely lecture on the Warsaw ghetto in Poland during WW2. Then Japanese, where I had to take a vocab quiz and learn how to ask how old people are. Then to the Union to grab lunch... uh lines bite my ass. Then to my next class where I heard a lecture about trenchwarefare in WW1- complete with a slide show! >_>;;; Then to my last class, where I heard a lecture on the Progressive Era and how 1/4 of the class got a D or F on their essay exams, which we get back in discussion. (I get it back to tomorrow- oh joy). The back to work where I had to run paper work on 7 appointments, type cards up for them and find the student files (one of which was lost) in about 45 mins. None of you have my job, but trust me, it was nearly impossible. I just barely caught the bus in time.

And then the crème de la crème... Sub Sub told me that Ara's parents DID mail the fucking apartment form into the office, but that it was invalid because they FUCKING WHITED OUT THE SHIT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SIGN FOR. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH. *takes a deep breath*. I feel better now...

Ok, that's a lie.

Anyway, I have a ton of homework to do, including preparing to lead a discussion on some shit I haven't read, so I am going to excuse myself from the psychoticness that is my blog and try to start it.

Ger, I'm gonna mail your stuff out tomorrow. Laurelchan, I am glad you like the music I sent you!

*cry*

Ja ne, minna...


homework and stuff... Monday, February 26, 2001 04:43 p.m.

Hello everyone. Today has been... boring. Typical Monday. At least the weather didn't COMPLETELY suck. It was freezing this morning, but it was sunny and it semi-warmed up this afternoon. Sort of... ^^;;

I am currently listening to Loreena McKennitt, Samain Night... her music always mellows me out. It's a nice feeling. This week is pretty light, as far as work goes. I don't have any tests and not much written homework, so I will hopefully have a chance to catch up on my rather large and continuously growing pile of readings I haven't done. -_-;; I do have to lead a discussion on part 2 of Zarathustra (Nietzsche) on Wed. in my topics class, so I need to read that in depth. *wrinkles nose*

My roomie got to go Irish dancing at SCA last night and I am exceedingly jealous. Although I was invited, so I can't really talk... I guess I am glad I didn't go though b/c I did a lot of homework that I would have been up very late doing had I gone. *sigh* Hopefully I can go next week...

Anyway, I have to go start eliminating some of that pile. I should be around most of the night if anyone is in need of talking to me for any reason.

Love minna! *hug* Mata ne!


wind chimes... Sunday, February 25, 2001 02:34 p.m.

Hello everyone! Today and yesterday have been good days. My roomie and I went to the mall yesterday and spent money we didn't really have. ^^;; I bought a new pair of shoes (yay sandals! I am a big sandal person and I wear them about 9 months of the year), some Claddagh earrings, a wind chime for our apartment next year which we hung up in the room and I am listening to now, and a b-day pres. for my friend Bethany *waves*, oh and chocolate! How could I forget that?! And I am going back today to get some more windchimes while they are 40% off. ^^;;

I also got to talk to S on the phone (YAY! I miss you S!) and Anne-girl and Kim on im (I miss you both also!), which made me very happy. My roomie and I were genki in a mellow way yesterday, so we listened to Celtic music (Loreena McKennitt is awesome) and relaxed. We rented First Knight and Rob Roy and had a good sob fest. Liam Neeson is one beautiful male specimen. *fans herself*

*cough* Ahem, anyway, it was fun, and we wrote stuff last night, and today I feel good b/c the weather is gorgeous (for once) and life is good, even though I have a shitload of homework that I can't avoid anymore. -_-;;

Ger, I'll send your copies out this week!

*hugs around* Love everyone! Bai bai!


All Your Base Are Belong To Us Part II... Friday, February 22, 2001 08:21 p.m.

AH HA! Ger found the video again minna! *glomps Ger* Bwahahahahahahaha... Go here to get it. *chants* All your base are belong to us...

Some bad news: I totally bombed my Japanese oral test. Ok, I know most of you are going to roll your eyes and say 'she always says that' *looks pointedly at S*, but this time I am serious. There are 4 parts, and my partner got a little flustered so we didn't have time to get to the last part of it. We fucked it royally. Jaya, if you read this, don't worry, I don't blame you. I screwed up more than once too. *sigh* Hopefully my written test will make up for it. >.<

Now for some much cooler news: my friend Melanie at work (she is also one of my bosses) is a grad student here and she is working on her Masters thesis for the trombone. Anyway, she auditioned to be in the orchestra of a new Broadway production, and SHE GOT IN! She has to go to Orlando, FL for the rehearsals, and she doesn't know if she's going to be in the Broadway cast, the Europe tour cast, or the US tour cast, but she's hoping for the Europe one. I don't blame her. She is really cool, and I don't know anyone who deserves it more. YAY Melly!

It's FRIDAY! That makes me far genkier than I actually feel at the moment. I'm not UN-genki, I am just not my normal level of genkiness. Anyway, I love everyone! *hugs* Ja ne!


All Your No Fly Zones Are Belong To Us... Thursday, February 22, 2001 11:26 p.m.

I know I have blogged twice today, but Ger just sent me this vid that everyone has to see. *snicker* It's sort of a... follow up to All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Anyway, it's here.

We were dismayed to discover that All Your Base Are Belong To Us no longer belongs to us. -_-;; The link is dead, and Ger and Mearl are looking for it again, I think. So I apologize for anyone who didn't get to see it b/c it's priceless.

Anyway, going to bed now- I have my oral midterm in Japanese tomorrow morning. Hopefully I will be able to chat w/ everyone this weekend.

Mata ne!


stuff... Thursday, February 22, 2001 4:50 p.m.

I'd like to start off by saying that Ger your post really says a lot to me. I for one did hear both stories and both are tragic in their own ways, but... well, I don't want to give a rant on how I feel about it either. Let's just say I don't know shit about nascar, and I don't really care to anytime soon.

I took my midterm today, and I think I did well, but I am totally mortified by this ridiculous mistake I made on the last question. And I didn't realize how stupid it was until about 30 secs after I handed the stupid test in and walked out the door. I just KNOW my sensei is going to think I am a retard. >.<

I am in a bad mood right now for a few reasons. One, IT FUCKING SNOWED AGAIN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

*takes a deep breath* Ok, I feel better now. Two, I have this ridiculous jealousy streak going through me at the moment for something that I really shouldn't be jealous about. I just feel like I have been left behind somehow, and of course, the fact that I feel jealous makes me feel even more immature, and therefore I feel like a total moron.

Oh, and in one of my classes we watched this completely disturbing German Expressionist film. If any of you know anything about Expressionism... well, never mind.

Tonight I have to study MORE b/c we have our Japanese oral midterm tomorrow (today was written) *sigh* and I have to write a speech. When is Friday?

Oh yeah, it's in 7 hours. When is the weekend?

*cry*


Grrrr... Thursday, February 22, 2001 1:11 a.m.

Ok, Geocities bites my ass. They won't let our blog piccies work anymore! *pout* But DOMO ARIGATOU Ger for letting me upload my pic until I can fingure something out. *GLOMP*

Oyasumi minna! I have that midterm tomorrow... yuck. I hope I do well.^^;;


Midterms >.< ... Wednesday, February 21, 2001 4:41 p.m.

Konnichiwa minna-san! ^_^ Genki desuka?

It's Wednesday, which means that the week is half over. Yay! It also means that my Japanese midterm is tomorrow. Boo. However, my friends are coming over tonight and we are having a large study session and ordering Chinese food. Hopefully, that will soften the blow a little bit... ^_~

S, I am sorry that you are having a shitty day. I have those too, but luckily today is not one of them. If you want to talk, I will hopefully be online tonight around 9 or so. *hug* Love you!

Uh, Laurel-chan, I am not even going to pretend to understand what the hell you're talking about in your blog, so I am going to smile and nod. ^^;;;

I am listening to Glay right now, and I want it stated how much I love their music. I have been trying to figure out what it is that is so appealing about it, and I think it's because something about the way they incorporate all different styles of music, making this gorgeous collage in just one song, and it just gives me chills. *sigh* It's so wonderful...

Anyway, everyone have a great night, ok? I will try to be online later, but I have a ton of homework to do. Yuck.

Love you guys! Ja ne!


All your base are belong to us... Tuesday, February 20, 2001 6:11 p.m.

I am so proud of S!! She FINALLY updated her blog for the first time in about a month. -_- Yay! And she added a drawing and stuff! ^_^

Yay! My roomie ALSO updated her blog, and is cheery and stuff! (Unusual occurence...) We have this obsession w/ Daria (it's one of the few American cartoons I can stand, and the ONLY program on MTV I'll watch), and she made a cool new desktop. It's fun stuff.

For anyone who dares to brave it, go here. Oh yeah, and if you have a 56k modem... well, you can try it, but expect to be sitting in front of my blog for the next 48 hours. *snicker* Thanks Mearl chan and Ger! *chants* All your base are belong to us...

I have homework to do. Lots of it. Blech.

Love minna! *hug* Talk to everyone later! Ja ne!


New Layout!... Tuesday, February 20, 2001 12:55 a.m.

Ok minna, this is my new layout... Touga-sama, Utena, the movie manga. If you haven't seen it, find scans b/c there is some awesome stuff in there. *droooooool* Anyway, sorry it's a little on the plain side, but my spring one will be genki! *.*

Touga: .....

Hee hee, not that anything involving Touga is plain... ^^;;

Uh, anyway... thank you SO much Laurel chan and Ger for all your help! Everyone's new blogs look great! ^_^

Oh, btw, if anyone sees problems w/ the French in my blog, let me know... it's been 1 1/2 years since I took French and my Japanese is pushing it out my ears completely. -_-

Oh! If anyone wants to be GENKI, go check out Ger's blog! He put up animated gifs of chibi Glay! KAWAII! *.* Anyway, talk to everyone later! *hug* Mata ne!

Le Pensée du Jour

"As long as there have been men, man has felt too little joy: that alone, my brothers, is our original sin."

~Friedrich Nietzche,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra

L'indicatif

Rinbu- Revolution [Shoujo Kaumei Utena]
Romanji and Translation courtesy of The Utena Encyclopedia

Isagiyoku kakkoyoku ikite ikou...
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo...
Take my revolution

I'll go on living bravely and heroically
Even if I have to separate the two of us...
Take my revolution

Hikari sasu garden te wo toriai chikaiatta nagusameatta
Mou koi wa nido to shinai yotte
Sonna tsuyoi kessoku wa katachi wo kae
Ima ja konna ni takumashii
Watashitachi no lifestyle, everyday... everytime

In the sunny garden, hand in hand,
we consoled each other and swore
that we would never fall in love again
Our unity was so strong that it changed its form
Our lifestyle is now so robust, everyday... everytime

Hoho wo yoseatte
Utsuru shashin no egao ni
Sukoshi no sabishisa tsumekonde

Into a picture of us smiling
Cheek to cheek
I crammed a little bit of my loneliness

Isagiyoku kakko yoku
Ashita kara wa
Dare mo ga furimuku onna ni naru
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo
Kokoro wa zutto issho ni

As of tomorrow,
I'll be such a brave, heroic woman
That everybody would look back at me
Even if we two become separated,
Let's keep our hearts together forever

Ai wa okane dewa kaenai tte shitteiru kedo
"I" de okane wa kaeru no? T.V. de itteta
Mukandou...mukanshin kiri ga nai ne
Wakai ko minna sou da to omowareru no wa feel so bad!
Doushiyou mo nai ja nai

I know money can't buy love
But can love buy me money? They said on TV
Apathy... indifference; It's so endless
They think young people are all this way; Feel so bad!
But how could we help ourselves?

Demo ne watashitachi
Tomodachi no koto nani yori taisetsu ni shiteru
Kitto otona yori mo

But listen,
I believe we care about friends more than anything,
More than grown-ups do

Yume wo mite namida shite kizutsuite mo
Genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi
Jibun no ibasho sonzai kachi wa nakusenai
Jibun wo mamoru tameni

Dreaming, crying, and getting hurt,
But reality is still coming over and over
I can't lose my seat and the value of my existence
To protect myself

I'll go my way
Modorenai sorezore no
Michi wo erabu toki ga kuru toki ni
Konnani mo konnani mo taisetsuna omoide...
Toki hanatsu yo...

I'll go my way;
No turning back; Before the time comes
For each of us to choose a different way
I'll release so precious,
So precious a part of my memory

Take my revolution
Ikite ikou genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi
Jibun no ibasho sonzaikachi wo mitsuketai
Kyou made no jibun wo

Take my revolution;
I'll go on living since reality is coming over and over
I want to find my seat and the value of my existence,
Which was me until today

Isagiyoku nugisuteru hadaka ni naru
Jiyuu wo mau bara no youni
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo
Watashi wa sekai wo kaeru

I will shed my clothes and strip myself bravely,
Like roses whirling in freedom
Even if I have to separate the two of us,
I swear I will change the world.
