"saluting public baths and all the bishies that bathe there"

"Sakasama no Niji"
-from Lodoss Wars TV OST
Translated by Kix

Asa no niji ga shizumu mizu umi
Amai mitsu wo kureru hanabira
Mizu wa tsumetai
Demo totemo yasashii
The morning rainbow is sinking in a lake
The flower petals that give out sweet honey
The water is freezing
But very gentle

Oyoide sakasama no niji wo tadarou
Oyoide tadori tsukitai no
Sono chikaku he
A swimming upside down rainbow is sore
Swimming and trying to struggle on
To that close place

Tsukete mieru hitomi no oku no
Mirai tsunagu kuuki shizukani
Haneru saka nano oto dake
Kodama suru
Soaking, the inside of a seeing eyes
The future ties the quiet air
With only the sound of a leaping fish
Echoing

*repeat

mizu no honoo
aozameta yubi no aida
itsuka watashi no koto tsutsumi komu
itai nodo
The water's flames
Became pale between fingers
Someday it will wrap me up
painfully

oyoide kodou mo tokeru no
saza mini
oyoide sono ude no naka de
niji wo miru
Swimming as the beat is also thawing
Rippling
Swimming inside those arms
Seeing a rainbow

*repeat

Yayy! Today was a bootifuller day than yesterday~ Yesh, it was fun and simple like before... only it was 87 degrees~ PERFECT California weather!! Plus, the air conditioning in my Lit class came back on *laugh* It really sucks when you're in a hot stuffy room around 2:00pm and there's no air con =_=

*laugh* Still studying for history, and have to catch up 6 assignments in math ^^;; But I'm doing okay. I got a 23/24 on the last quiz, and I got my bio questions right for the quiz XD I've been cramming like crazy! Although my group got their questions wrong, I'm LUCKY 'cause from now on they're individual quizzes X3

What been up online recently? Fics... reading lots of fics... Too many to list ^_~ I also finished my gallery at AKG Studios. No new pictures though because scanner's still on the fritz.

Gaki: Haii! We must make a NON-CCS group at AX~ But what? @_@ Also, I saw your pic of the scratch ^^;; It's blurry. Of course, it's kind of pretty if I must say so myself. I got two scratches on my arms from my textbooks @_@ And I cut my nails... but now I get to paint them FUN colors! I also did get that scholarship thingy for STAR testing =P And so that's another amount of money I don't need to save up *laugh*

So much to do~ Getting ready for summer~ Need job! Summer school catalogue! Good grades! Excersizeeeee~ X3

Woo hoo! It's like summer~~!! At least... hot enough to be... but although there is heat there is also the bootiful signal of school coming to an end~

Today we got Anime Club elections done and it was really fun because people were actually PARTICIPATING. I became Secretary because I got sick of turning the bootiful green stuff called money into ASB =9 So I decided I'd take an easy job *laugh* Luckily I was running against Blinkachu... who isn't... very social... or... fun to get along with... She's one of those creepy American only fans who asks pointless questions all throughout a video... and repeats them over and over again, not to mention, won't give you privacy on anything... BUUUUT anyhow, that was fun ^_^ School's going great except for the huge amount of tests ^^;; We also had homeroom today and I got my grades after being late because I forgot about it @_@ YATTA! Lucky! I thought I had 4 B's... but I ended up getting 2!! ANNND *drumroll* They aren't in any academic classes XD They're in Art and Japanese, and I just have to turn in a project to get the A in Art, and I did my oral and turned in a project which will raise my grade in Japanese! Isn't life bootiful now? *happy sigh*

Recently, as I've taken a really good allergy medicine (Sudafed non-drowsy 24 hour - it's REALLY good!! when you even sneeze it's CLEAN and there's like ZERO snot and no itchiness and it lasts for all day!!), it seems to make me MUCH less hungry... so I've only had cravings for Chicken Salad *laugh* On Sunday I ate 2 pieces of toast and a small amount of pasta, and on Monday I ate a chicken salad from Jack In The Box. I don't really want a real cheesy one like McDonalds so today I'm getting one from The Good Earth *laugh* Yum.

Anyhow, why am I rarely online nowadays? TESTS! I just took the SAT and I SOOO want to know what I got (on mar 18 scores come out). This Friday is the AP History test... and we just had 3 history finals in a row @_@ I take the last one tommorow at 8:00 since it's curriculum day and it SHOULD start at 9:10. I have to make it up since I was on a field trip on Friday. I also had my japanese oral and project.. *pukes* Cramming a whole manga and book in 2 days reallllly sucks @_@ Me and Gaki spent 8 hours on Sat and 7 hours on Sun and 1 hour on Mon working on it... So not fun =_= I wonder if we should scan it in... although we used pencil to shade and I couldn't spray fixative, so hopefully they're not all smudged =P I've also been cramming in Biology because we're having an in-depth quiz every week... same with Literature... Then we have the pig practical and Scarlet Letter essay... We DO get a simple math final on 06/04 though. I wonder just how I will survive...

=_=

XD Only said she wouldn't pay for any of it :3 Me happy~

Also!! My brother is trying to get into Otis so he has to draw 12 pictures/slides by August *laugh* My dad's going to be paying for his supplies, etc. and so said I could go shopping with him and get stuff I want too~ YAYYY~ So I'll probably buy watercolor pencils, watercolor papers, portfolios, and other neat items. I hope I can find nice inks and maybe get some new brushes XD Happy day~ Just need to start cramming in History *laugh*

There will also be a new layout up this weekend ^_^ I hope I have enough time to put it up at least @_@ AKG Gallery is also almost ready. Fufu!
